In the dark city, the sound of rain filled the streets and alleys.

Boundless, without beginning and without end.

Hua Mian was dressed in black and stood in the cemetery. Looking at the back of the thin red-haired girl in front of her, she couldn't help but sighed softly.

Yesterday, she was discussing with Yu Gong about her future whereabouts, but she did not expect that today, she would come to attend the funeral of her friends and relatives.

Yu Gong Mercury's family is somewhat similar to Hua Mian's family in this life. They both have no relatives other than their parents. This is also the characteristic of Yun Cheng's older generation. After all, decades ago, Yun Cheng's technology did not develop to Today's level.

Yesterday afternoon, Yugong Mercury received a call from the funeral company.

At that time, she still didn't understand the situation.

Not long after, people from her father's factory also called her, and Amamiya Mercury didn't know that her father had passed away.

Without a trace of defense, the girl lost her last relative.

Her father died due to the recent frequent small-scale explosions at the Shannan factory.

He died instantly without any chance of rescue.

So today, Hua Mian and Yu Gong Shui Xing attended her father's funeral after his cremation.

Yugong Shuixing didn't want Hua Mian to attend at first, after all, she didn't know her father well, but Hua Mian insisted on accompanying her, so she didn't say anything.

"Do you want to go back?"

Under the umbrella, Hua Mian looked at the girl in front through the rain curtain that flowed from the umbrella, and spoke softly.

She's been standing here for almost half an hour...

Although Hua Mian can understand Yugong Mercury's pain of losing a loved one, but if this continues, she may damage her own body because of it, so Hua Mian came out to warn her.

But Yugong Mercury was obviously not ready to accept Huamian's love, she just shook her head, and then continued to stand in the cold black forest.

Seeing her movements, Hua Mian opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't make a sound.

She has no position to say anything to the other party, at least not for the time being.

The pain of a parent's death cannot be soothed with a few words, and Yugong Mercury is no longer the child he used to be, so there is a high probability that he will not cry to her about it.

Then give her some personal space...

Hua Mian thought of this, then squeezed the umbrella handle a little harder, put her left hand in the coat pocket, and slowly turned around in the rain.

"Then, I'll go first."

She sighed softly, left such a sentence, and left the oppressive cemetery without looking back at the girl behind her.

On the street, Hua Mian waited for the traffic light at the intersection.

When the light turned green and she was about to take a step, she looked back one last time.

There is a surging crowd in the rain, boring and stereotyped faces float on the clothes of various colors and pass by.

No one has red hair.

Hua Mian turned her head expressionlessly, stepped forward, and stepped on the silvery stagnant water with her leather boots.

..................

Three months later.

Huamian and Yugong Mercury's home, in the living room.

"Amiya... how is she doing today?"

Leaning on the chair with her hands folded, Hua Mian stared at the white dining table in front of her, and said in a tone that could not hear any emotion.

She was communicating with the instructor she had seen in the hospital waiting room earlier.

Not long after graduation, Hua Mian also contacted the woman named Mi Ju through the name that was exposed before.

She didn't keep her personal account secret, so Hua Mian easily added her as a friend.

And now, they are discussing the issue of Yugong Mercury.

"One hour of practical training and seven hours of virtual machines. I have to say that she is a very hardworking child."

On the communication side, Mi Ju seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile.

It is not difficult to hear that she is very satisfied with this training state of Amamiya Mercury.

But on the other end of the communication, Hua Mian's brows slowly frowned.

"You should let her rest for a while. With this intensity, sooner or later her body will not be able to sustain it."

Saying so, Hua Mian stood up and walked to the window, her face expressionless, her hands clasped behind her back.

The connection between the Titan and the driver is not just through the joystick, but through the electrode patch connected to the Titan's control system and the driver's head.

Using a similar principle to the hacker's deep stealth, the pilot can sink his mind into the airframe.

Therefore, this also puts forward a lot of requirements for the driver in terms of mechanical transformation adaptability and neural network talent.

And there is no doubt that driving a Titan is a great burden on the driver's body.

This is especially true for long periods of high-intensity training.

Although the virtual machine is virtual, the mental burden may not be much smaller.

Thinking of this, Hua Mian slightly lowered her eyes:

"As a veteran driver, you should know better than anyone what the consequences of prolonged high-intensity neural load will be."

"It's her own choice, isn't it?"

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be a smile, but the signal at the rebel base was not very good, and Hua Mian couldn't hear it clearly.

Hua Mian seldom calls Mi Ju, and every call is about Yu Gong Mercury.

After all, this is the only intersection between them.

So she didn't find the meaning in Mi Ju's laughter.

"Then you should also be advised."

"..."

Seemingly knowing that it was impossible to agree with Hua Mian on this matter, Mi Ju changed the topic in time.

"I have to say that the power of hatred is infinite. Some things will only be unforgettable when they actually happen to me."

"And this time, she really recognized the ugliness of the company."

Hearing this, Hua Mian fell silent.

She knew that Mi Ju knew that she was also doubting herself now, doubting whether she was a spy of the consortium, so she was beating around the bush to yin and yang herself.

But Hua Mian couldn't explain anything to the other party.

And she felt that there was no need to explain.

The elephant doesn't care about what the ant thinks, even though she is not an elephant now, she is not down to the point of asking the enemy for help.

Confess that I am the heir of the Nine Giants, and now I am living outside, and help me to conquer the heroine, will I be grateful in the future?

just forget it.

After regaining consciousness from some inexplicably born wonderful thoughts, pretending not to notice what Mi Ju said, Hua Mian calmly said:

"Pay attention to the bottom line."

It seemed that he didn't expect such an answer, and there was no sound from the other end of the communication for a long time.

After a while, Mi Ju's recognizable slightly hoarse voice appeared on the channel again.

"She's back."

After speaking, the communication was hung up.

Hearing the beeping sound in his ear, Hua Mian continued to maintain the same posture just now, and stood there for a long time before finally moving.

She put down her hands behind her back, took off an apron from the hanger, put it on carefully, and walked into the kitchen silently.

In the drowsy evening, the warm yellow light suddenly came on, followed by the rustling sound of cooking.

The lonely room was suddenly stained with a trace of fireworks.

Some people are going home, and some are waiting for others to go home.

......

Chapter 55 Wait a little longer

At the dining table, Hua Mian secretly looked at the girl opposite while eating.

After Amamiya Mercury returned home, the two of them didn't communicate much, and just sat down at the dining table in silence.

There seemed to be nothing wrong, just like the nearly thousand nights they lived together in the past.

But since Amamiya Mercury's last relative passed away, the atmosphere at the dinner table is not the same as before.

Hua Mian looked at the opposite girl's action of stuffing rather than eating, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak:

"Would you like to take a break?"

Hua Mian's words made Yu Gong Mercury pause for a while.

Yu Gong Mercury thought for a moment what Hua Mian's words meant, and then suddenly understood.

It's Hua Mian who is worried about her body, this is indeed what a gentle person like her would think.

But...

"no need."

She quickly replied without any other reaction.

Hua Mian stared at the girl in front of her, but Yu Gong Shui Xing just lowered his head to eat, and refused to raise his eyes to meet her.

So she also felt a little tired.

Anyway, I can also heal the damage caused by Amamiya Mercury due to over-training, as long as she doesn't kill herself in one breath.

As for the pain caused by training?

If this is unbearable, then Amamiya Mercury is not qualified to be a Titan pilot.

"Then I have nothing to say, just be safe."

Hua Mian lowered her head again, looking at the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, her tone was calm, and she couldn't tell if she was angry about what happened just now.

Amamiya Mercury didn't answer either, she just nodded and mechanically put the food into her mouth.

In the past, the delicious meals that Amamiya Mercury could linger on are now just a necessity for her to fill her stomach.

It may take her a long time, or a lifetime, to recover from the shadow of her parents' death.

After the meal, Amamiya Mercury took the bowls and chopsticks and put them in the sink, without any plans to clean them, because the housekeeping robot would clean them up later.

dong dong dong.

Amamiya Mercury went upstairs slowly, his slippers stepped on the wooden stairs, making a dull sound.

Looking at Yu Gong Mercury's back, Hua Mian asked again:

"Do you still plan to go to the sea?"

Hua Mian put the chopsticks flat on the dishes, and crossed her hands to support her chin. Before Yugong Mercury answered, she threw out the next sentence.

"I don't have anything to do right now, but I might be busy in a while."

Hua Mian's words stopped Yu Gong Mercury's footsteps.

Amamiya Mercury held the handrail of the stairs with one hand, and stepped on different stairs with two feet, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of Huamian's proposal.

"Wait a little longer..." Amamiya Mercury's voice was a little low, and then he walked again, "Give me a little more time, when we are all free..."

dong dong dong.

Before the words fell, the sound of going upstairs continued.

On the first floor, after sitting blankly for a while, Hua Mian picked up her chopsticks again and began to swallow.

Don't go, she knows.
