I am Lapland’s rat!

She was just crying.

Chapter 61 A word of thanks

Wu Xian suddenly panicked.

"Why is Dorothy crying?"

This was different from what he imagined - even though Wu Xian was thinking this, the first thing that arose was heartache.

And regret.

Shouldn't he have revealed the truth to Dorothy in this way?

The Dorothy he knew was the Dorothy ten years later.Although the natural disaster that determined Dorothy's character and persistence had occurred, there may have been other events that changed Dorothy's mind during the past ten years.

How to do……

How to do--

Without enough time to defend himself in his mind, Wu Xian instinctively waved his paws when he realized that his actions directly caused Dorothy to cry in the dark corner.

Of course he soon remembered that he was just a rat, he had no way to comfort Dorothy with words, he couldn't even write anywhere!

Dorothy's tears were streaming down her face. She looked aggrieved and sad. The tears dripped from her chin and fell on the grass blades growing vigorously in the darkness.

"By the way, music, Shushu, I can use music to help Dorothy get rid of negative emotions——"

No.

Just as Wu Xian was about to stretch out his claws, he realized that this method would only cause more damage.

The effect of "happy" is aggressive. It will create an extremely strong psychological suggestion. This psychological suggestion will smooth out all other emotions and allow the emotion of happiness to emerge.

But this does not mean that other emotions do not exist. Those emotions are just suppressed in the heart by psychological suggestions. When the effect of happiness wears off, they will still explode.

What should I do?

Wu Xian stopped himself.But apart from Mouse's skills, how can it comfort Dorothy?

Wu Xian felt that his brain was thinking about many things at the same time, and he was about to explode with anxiety.

He could only look into Dorothy's eyes, his claws pulling at Dorothy's arms in vain.

——It worked.

Dorothy's throat made a sound as thin as a mosquito, and Wu Xian heard it.

"thanks……"

Dorothy looked at the anxious little guy in front of her and tried her best to blink her eyes, allowing her eyes that were blurred by tears to see briefly.

Her heart was still as painful as being fed a sour candy.

But when she saw the little guy in front of her anxiously patting her with his paws, her chest felt a little more relaxed for some reason.

When people are in negative emotions, their brains are usually more alert than when they are in a normal state.This is because in ancient evolutionary history, the moment when one enters negative emotions usually encounters a major crisis from the outside world. In order to cope with the crisis, the body needs to secrete hormones that speed up the body's operation, and this mechanism has been iteratively inherited.

For example, Dorothy has now realized what happened here——

In the afternoon, the little guy went out for a trip and unexpectedly heard the members of the pioneer team cheating on Dorothy.

In order to prevent Dorothy from being deceived, it used its ability to bring Dorothy here and let her hear their conversation.

The little guy didn't expect that Dorothy would cry because of this, so he patted her anxiously like this, trying to comfort her and tell her not to cry.

"……thanks."

Realizing that her voice was hoarse, Dorothy blinked, sniffed, and gently wiped her eyes with the back of the hand that was not holding Wu Xian.

"Sorry...did I scare you?"

Wu Xian blinked and his anxious mood calmed down a little.

The Zarak girl in front of her stopped crying. Her eyes had become red just now, and her face was stained with tears.

But still cute.

"........."

A long sigh.

In the distance, the temperature of the stove in the center of the camp has been turned down, and the voices of the pioneer team members have become inconsistent.

Dorothy seemed to feel a little weak in her legs and sat down on the lawn under the tent with a plop.

She wanted to put Wu Xian aside, but Wu Xian was worried that the disappearance of the psychological invisibility effect would cause Dorothy to be discovered by the pioneers, so he kept holding Dorothy's thumb.

Dorothy realized something at this time. She put Wu Xian on her knees. Sure enough, Wu Xian let go of his paws.

Wu Xian squatted on Dorothy's knees and looked up at her.

Dorothy's face looked a little disappointed. She had already become accustomed to talking to Wu Xian occasionally in the past few days, so she quickly spoke:

"……I got it."

That was all Dorothy said.

Wu Xian's eyes moved, and a flash of enlightenment flashed in his heart.

Yes, the performance of the old father-in-law was so obvious that even he noticed it. How could the smart Dorothy not notice it?

And it was Dorothy herself who was connected to the Loken water tank.

Dorothy may not know that a pioneer team has ever taken this order, but she certainly understands that the people in the pioneer team are using her to do something she doesn't want to see!

But Dorothy acquiesced to the matter.

why?

"Did I...do something wrong?" Dorothy seemed to be asking Wu Xian, and also seemed to be asking herself.

"Little guy, you also know that since I went to college, I have less time to go home. The distance between the lives of my uncles and aunts... and my life has become farther and farther."

Her voice was painful and somewhat self-blaming. She needed someone to talk to, and at this moment Wu Xian was right in front of her:

"Why is there such a gap between people? Why can I meet those high-class people in Cast Iron City, and even my mentor has the ability to decide whether my uncles and aunts will stay or go?"

"I want to close these gaps, but before that, I want to hold them even more. I don't want to wake up from the laboratory late at night after the experiment one day and find that there is no one around me, and I have nothing. No."

Dorothy feared that future.

and so……

"I want to help them. But I am just a college student. The money I got from my work-study study is just enough for my tuition. The research funds are also in the hands of my tutor. I have neither rights nor wealth. How should I... respond to them? What are you looking forward to?"

"..."

Wu Xian understood the key to the conflict.

In the eyes of the pioneers, Dorothy had become a successful person and it was time to repay her favor.

The gentle and guilty Dorothy also wanted to repay the kindness of the pioneers, so she turned a blind eye and followed the wishes of the pioneers——

Because of this, after hearing exactly how her actions had hurt others and what the pioneers thought of her, she would blame herself and shed tears of grievance.

but……

"Why are you crying, Dorothy? The villain is obviously from the pioneer side!"

Wu Xian had been holding this sentence in his heart for a long time.

They were the ones who deceived people, they were the ones who grabbed the orders, and they were the ones who beat Gastlin's pioneer team back. Why was Dorothy the one who cried because of this?

Chapter 62 A long night

Dorothy was indeed at fault in this matter, and Wu Xian would not forget this.

After all, Dorothy was too emotional. In order to make herself feel comfortable, she did not dare to explore what was going on. Instead, she muddle along, hoping to reassure the people in the pioneer team.

But Dorothy couldn't put all the blame on herself!

"You have to bravely point out their mistakes and don't let the bad guys succeed!"

"...?"

Dorothy looked a little surprised when she saw Wu Xian patting her knees with his paws dissatisfiedly.

She quickly realized what Wu Xian wanted to express, and her expression became a little relieved: "...Thank you."

"If it weren't for you... I don't know what would have happened."

"thank you so much."

As she said that, Dorothy seemed to want to cry again, and tears were almost overflowing from the corners of her red eyes——

But Dorothy held back.

Wu Xian looked at Dorothy, breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood became calmer.

It looks like things are still working out for the best.

Dorothy's words reminded him that in the plot, there seemed to be no mention of the whereabouts of the pioneer team that Dorothy was from.

This made Wu Xian slightly enlightened.

In the original world line, this may also have happened.

But because Lapland was not here at that time, Witte's plan succeeded.

According to the performance of the group of pioneers that Wu Xian just saw, after they "confirmed" Dorothy's feelings for them, they may "ask" Dorothy for help in various ways in the future.

Dorothy will one day realize that continuing like this is not an option, and perhaps the pioneer team will still hate her due to the feud between people.

In the past, Wu Xian had always been curious about why Dorothy's trustworthy conversation in the game was like this -

"Sometimes I wake up in the lab in the middle of the night and feel...scared. I'm afraid that after doing so much, everyone will leave me in the end, and...with hatred. What should I do? I just want them to be more... Happiness...Doctor, can you help me?"

Maybe this is the reason.

And this may also be the motivation for Dorothy to be obsessed with erasing the inequality between people in the future.

"..."

Thinking of this, Wu Xian patted Dorothy's knee with his paw, indicating that it was time for her to leave.

"Zhushu, I hope you can talk to the pioneer team in person. But if it doesn't work, Shushu, I can also ask Lapland to solve the problem."

Lapland can definitely get things done quickly and well.

"..."

But Dorothy made no move to get up.

The yellow-haired Zalak girl said softly: "...I will go. I will go to Uncle Wit and Dad to make it clear."

"But before that..."

Dorothy's eyes dimmed.

She was clearly in the middle of a lively pioneer camp, and not far away was the laughing figures of the pioneers. The sound of cups and bottles colliding with the voices came into the dark corner next to the tent.

But Wu Xian only noticed that the girl was wearing an old school-style windbreaker. The slightly wider neckline made her collarbones and shoulders look a little thin.

"Can you chat with me?"

Dorothy lowered her head and said in a hopeful voice.

"..."

……

The night wind blew through this pioneer camp standing alone in the wilderness. Not far away, Tremon was creeping like a giant beast gnawing at the horizon.

In the center of the pioneer camp, the flame of the small Source Stone stove gradually became smaller, and the light it emitted gradually dimmed until it disappeared.

First, the two pioneers yawned by the fire, waved to the others, then stood up and walked in the direction of their tents;

Afterwards, several more pioneers stood up one after another, talking casually about something and nothing, and left the center of the camp.

No one noticed that there was a Zarak girl whispering to her knees under the tent not far away.

……

Witte, the captain of the pioneer team, and several other people who contributed more to the camp talked late at night, and then left.
