Online Wife is Alicia

In the dark, Bronya heard a man talking.

She tried to open her eyes, but the wind cut her eyelids like a knife, preventing Bronya from opening them.

At the same time, what is more painful and more dazzling than the howling wind.

"My child! You go first, to prepare the way ahead."

The sound continued, and the vision gradually recovered. Bronya opened her eyes vigorously, but closed them again.

Tears flowed down her cheeks, and it was only for a few seconds, but she saw it.

The dazzling and tearful thing is the sun, only the sun on the snow field can make people feel so dazzling.

Bronya tried to open her eyes again...

This time, Bronya finally saw the source of the voice. It was a tall man in black with long golden hair tied to one side.

The suppressed sobbing came to the ears, and several familiar figures were bowing their heads around the tombstone.

"My children, if you ask me why someone dies so early..."

"Because death is past, there will be no sorrow, no crying, no terror, because the past is past."

After seeing the man's appearance, Bronya felt even more puzzled. This man was... Bishop Otto, and there were Teresa and Joachim standing beside him.

"Is this the second world?" Bronya thought in her heart, and then looked around, looking for Xi'er.

A hand held her quietly. Bronya looked back and found Xier standing behind her. She immediately felt relieved and shook Xier's hand in response.

"Children, let's go back. What else do you want to say to them?" Father Otto asked kindly.

"Karel, I brought your favorite toy car." Teresa folded her hands on her chest and said as if she was praying: "Joachim and I filled in the paint where the paint fell off, I hope Please do not mind that."

Teresa put a small wooden cart in front of the tombstone, and the other children whispered to the tombstone, and then left together.

Bronya could slow down, walking with Xier at the end of the line.

"They are holding a funeral, a child's funeral, no flowers, no photos." Bronya said as if stating something: "Only an adult and a group of children bid farewell to him, a strange scene, but for me It's not unfamiliar..."

"It's an orphanage. These children are living in an orphanage just like us." Xi'er nodded when she realized something.

"Sister Bronya, look at a wooden house ahead." Xier looked forward and said, "That should be their home."

The children in the front row of the line walked into the gate of the wooden house one by one. Father Otto told them something respectively. He seemed very close to each child.

"That priest is the person in charge of the orphanage." Xier whispered.

"I didn't expect to see Bishop Otto..." Bronya said with a complicated expression.

"Does Sister Bronya know him?" Seele asked with surprise on her face.

"He is a very bad and dangerous person...but in this world, he may also be different from reality." Bronya said in a complicated tone.

Otto in this parallel world seems...not a bad guy.

"Brother, will the players think that we deliberately whitewashed Otto after seeing this plot?" In front of the screen, Qiyana asked a question that she had been worried about for a long time.

"Don't worry, although Otto is damned, everyone has two sides. Without Karen and those experiences, he can become an admirable person, don't you think so." Xie Qingxuan waved his hand and said: "I Believe in players, games should not only entertain players, but also allow players to learn something."

"For example... the simplest independent thinking!"

After a short discussion, Bronya and Seele decided on the target, which was Joachim.

As for how to unravel this world, the two have no idea yet, but the first step has been determined, which is to get close to Joachim.

When the two approached the wooden house, they found that the priest had disappeared, and the children were silent around an old wooden table.

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Teresa stood up and said, "Everyone is hungry, guess what's for lunch today?"

But everyone didn't respond to Theresa's topic, and everyone had a sad expression, which made Theresa's eyes dim.

"Carrot and beetroot soup?" Xier asked in a suitable voice.

"No, Xi'er, we only eat beets on Tuesday, today is Wednesday, and it's goulash." Seeing that she finally responded, Teresa said with a smile.

She deliberately raised her volume in an attempt to enliven the atmosphere, but it didn't seem to have any effect, but she didn't give up, but looked at Bronya on the side and asked:

"Bronya, do you think there are more potatoes or more beef in today's soup?"

"Potatoes?" Bronya replied cooperatively.

"Wrong answer, Bronya, I will punish you to eat more beef today and grow taller." Teresa tried hard to cheer up the atmosphere.

At this moment, a muffled voice came, and Joachim shouted with a disheartened face, "Theresa."

"What's the matter, Joachim?" Theresa replied.

"I know you want us to cheer up, but you don't have to force yourself to shoulder the responsibility of comforting us." Joachim said with a sullen face: "Karel is gone, everyone needs a little time, and you too."

Teresa lowered her head and fell silent for a moment, then she asked: "Joachim...don't you really... think about that?"

"I understand, but I've already made a decision." Joachim still said in that calm tone.

Seeing this, Teresa knew that this was beyond her control, so she shouted, "Let's have dinner."

At this time Otto came out, he heard Teresa's voice and asked: "Theresa, is everyone eating?"

Teresa was about to answer when she noticed that Otto had changed clothes, so she asked curiously, "Father, have you changed clothes? Are you going to the town?"

"Winter is coming soon, I want to go to the grocery store to buy some ingredients." Otto explained after hearing the words: "Theresa, do you want to eat bitter gourd pancakes?"

"I want to eat, I want to eat hot bitter gourd pancakes, I like the priest the most." Teresa shouted happily.

"Hehe, then I'll buy a few more and share them with everyone." Otto also became emotional.

"Father, no one will share the bitter gourd cakes, and no one can eat them all. They will all end up in Teresa's stomach." Joachim reminded.

"Haha... By the way, Joachim, Mrs. Liesel will pick you up tomorrow, have you packed up?" Otto smiled, and then asked when he remembered something.

"Not yet." Joachim's tone suddenly became a little gentle, as if he was a little depressed.

"Go get ready, say goodbye to everyone today, don't leave any regrets." Otto comforted: "I'm going out, so I will trouble you with housework, Teresa."

"Be careful on the road, Father." Teresa replied confidently.

As Otto leaves, Teresa serves meals to the younger children one by one, before picking up toys that have been scattered on the floor.

Seeing this, Bronya asked, "Theresa, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Let's think about it... There are still five columns of clothes that haven't been washed, the ledgers haven't been checked, and the roof of the northernmost room inside is also leaking. It needs to be repaired..." Teresa gave the answer almost without thinking: " Oh, that's right! There is not enough wood, can I trouble you to go to the opposite hillside and chop some wood?"

"Before the weather is not too cold, I want to prepare more."

As if realizing that she was asking too much, Teresa said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, these tasks should have been done by stronger boys."

"But we've lost Karel, and Joachim is leaving the orphanage..."

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and Bronya, who was not good enough in the world, was a little at a loss.

"It's okay, let Xier and Bronya go collect wood together." Fortunately, Xier stood up at this time.

"Trouble you, remember to come back before the sun goes down." Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would remain so stiff, she calmed down and said, "I probably... need someone... to be quiet."

Bronya and Seele came outside to collect wood while analyzing the current situation.

After walking for about a distance, Bronya suddenly realized that she hadn't encountered any enemies here.

"It's clearly a deserted snowfield, but there are no Houkai beasts, not even carnivorous animals." Bronya said wonderingly.

"Sister Bronya, there is a small bush here." Seele pointed to the front and shouted.

Bronya watched Xi'er barely raise the small axe, stepped forward and said, "Xie'er, don't hold on, let me do it."

"It's okay." Xi'er still insisted on coming by herself.

Seeing this scene, Bronya felt a little distressed, hesitated to speak, and didn't know what to do.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I'm in these worlds, I can maintain the current state." Xier noticed Bronya's emotional changes, and explained intimately: "I also want to help, I want to help Bronya. Sister Nia will share some."

As she spoke, the girl raised her ax and chopped off the thin branches.

"Life here is like the orphanage where we grew up. Seeing those children." Xier breathed a sigh of relief, and said with reminiscence: "It's like seeing us in the past. Although life is hard, everyone will be together. Find the direction of your efforts and maintain this little happiness together."

"Although we have all lost family members, we have new family members in the orphanage."

As she said that, Xier collected the scattered branches on the ground and piled them up in the open space without snow.

"But...the children here don't seem to be united, and Joachim seems to be leaving the orphanage."

"From what the priest said, he seems to have been adopted." Bronya analyzed.

"It's a good thing for the orphanage to have children adopted, but I always feel that Joachim's reaction is a bit weird." Seele said with an inexplicable expression.

"There should be something hidden behind it, we have to ask Teresa again." Seeing that it was almost ready, Bronya said, "I have collected enough wood, let's go back."

"Okay, Sister Bronya." Xier smiled, as long as she could be with Sister Bronya, it would be great.

Xie Qingxuan in front of the screen clicked twice and turned to Bronya and asked, "Bronya, have you ever chopped wood yourself before?"

"Yes." Bronya said calmly, "On a snowy day, Xier, I, and the children from the orphanage went outside to pick up scattered branches for warmth."

"Although Mama Cocolia didn't ask us to do this, but we can save a little... a little."

Xie Qingxuan was originally joking, but when he heard something wrong, his smile froze on his face.

"At that time, we could still catch fish on the frozen river, and the fish we caught tasted delicious after making soup, and Lilia liked it." Lilia swallowed as she spoke.

"It's because you like to run around that I was scolded by Cocolia's mother." Bronya said this, looking at Lilia with a bit of sternness.

"It's Rosalia's fault." Lilia betrayed her sister without hesitation: "She said she just went to take a look, but she didn't expect to get lost."

"Now you are much more obedient than before." Bronya heard the words, feeling a little emotional in her tone.

Xie Qingxuan smiled dryly, not knowing what to say, and Qiyana next to him pinched Xie Qingxuan, indicating that it was okay, Bronya had long since ignored those past events.

Xie Qingxuan understood the girl's eyes, and the embarrassment in his heart eased.

It's just... Bronya's past seems to be heavier than he imagined, so wouldn't the next plot in this world make the girl even more sad?

Volume 162: Chapter 160 Chapter [-] In the Name of Truth

Bronya and Xier returned to the wooden house with the wood they picked up, while Teresa was busy tidying up.

Seeing the wood the two brought back, she said gratefully, "Thank you for your help."

Bronya and Seele needed to work together to carry back the wood, and Teresa easily twisted it up alone. She sorted the wood proficiently, and added fire to the stove. Obviously, she was used to these things.

"Although life is very difficult, as long as the priest and everyone are present, we will be able to overcome the difficulties." Teresa stood up and clapped her hands and said after finishing this.

"When did you come here, Teresa?" Bronya couldn't help asking curiously.

"I don't remember my parents at all... My earliest memory is that I was lying on the shoulders of the priest." Teresa said with a bit of nostalgia: "He tied me to the body to go outside to chop firewood, and there was a wave of wind outside. Snow, but the priest is warm."

"I didn't know until I grew up that this orphanage was established by a priest. I wasn't the first child to come, but I should be the one who stayed the longest."

"I like it here, and I don't plan to leave in the future."

"Then, what about Joachim?" Bronya asked.

"Why did you suddenly ask about him?" Teresa's eyes became a little concerned.

"During lunch, you seemed to have some disputes." Bronya is also a professional Valkyrie, and her observation skills are very appropriate: "He is leaving tomorrow, and Bronya wants to know what happened."

Teresa sighed and said, "I shouldn't have kept it from you..."

Under Teresa's narration, Bronya and Xier understood Joachim's current situation.

It turned out that his father was a doctor who had been studying how to call back Joachim's mother who died of illness.

And then... he violated forbidden knowledge.

In the beginning, Joachim's father only experimented with small white mice, and later turned into kittens and puppies. Finally, when he was discovered by the priest, he had already begun to experiment with stray orphans.

"This...how could..." Xi'er was a little frightened.

"So, the priest killed Joachim's father." Teresa said helplessly, "Then Joachim became an orphan."

"So, Joachim has always hated the priest?" Bronya asked.

"If he really harbors hatred, that would be a relief." Teresa shook her head and said, "Joachim knew about the crimes his father had committed, and he wanted to stop his father, but he couldn't do anything."

"So, he didn't hold grudges against the priest. He came to the orphanage and took care of the other children like a big brother. He was the first to do everything."
