I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

After waking up, there is only such a cruel situation waiting for him.

Ai Xueer, who was always restless, could no longer rely on her own strength to enter the frozen sleep. Time passed like this day by day, and Ai Xueer was so hungry that she even felt that she was about to lose weight.

There was a splash of falling water, tearing a hole in the silent darkness, such a sound came——

"Cough cough cough, bah! What the hell, it's so salty and bitter!"

......

Although she couldn't understand what the voice was saying, Ai Xueer still couldn't hold back her curiosity, and carefully opened the shell and swam out.

It was too difficult for me to live in the silent and dark environment.

Axel swims lightly in the water, and the sea dwellers, who are favored by the water elves, will not be easily spotted by others because of their actions in the sea, let alone in a completely dark environment.

Just when she was about to approach the location where the sound of falling into the water came, a white light instantly illuminated the water surface, and then the sound of treading water like cannonballs went away in a string.

until--

boom!

The sound of something slamming headfirst into a rock startled Ascher.

The follow-up happened just as Cheng Rang saw. The movement of the non-chief of the lottery draw attracted Ai Xueer. Relying on the faint light of the white gashapon, the sea dweller with night vision ability could already see clearly who was sitting on the shore. figure.

The exquisite fish feed that was kicked into the water for the second ten consecutive times was simply the biggest temptation in the world to the hungry Echelle, and she couldn't help but get out of the water.....

For the third time, the ten consecutive purple light balls illuminated the surrounding sea, and then the two of them collided eye to eye.

No wonder she was hungry even if she was stabbed in the neck by a knife... If she didn't eat anything, she would starve to death no matter how many days.

After listening to Ai Xueer's experience from beginning to end, Cheng Rang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

Apart from humans, the sea dwellers are also the "weakest" among the fifteen races. Asher, who was just born, lost her close relatives due to the war, but without knowing anything about it, she just fell into eternal sleep .

It seems that this big hole is connected to the bottom of the sea somewhere.

Otherwise, the water would not be salty and bitter. The cause is unknown, but it just woke up Ai Xueer who was in a frozen sleep state.

So now this question was placed in front of Cheng Rang, and Ai Xueer asked herself——

What is war?

Under the purple brilliance, the beautiful girl in the water was staring at herself in confusion.

Those pure amber-like ignorant and spotless eyes made Cheng Rang hesitate to speak for a few times.

"War is . . . a terrible thing, and it's not good."

For Ai Xueer, who has never witnessed the cruelty of the current world, Cheng Rang is completely at a loss for words, and finally can only use such a vague explanation to prevaricate, and apologize to Ai Xueer for his rough treatment at the beginning:

"sorry."

"Why do you apologize...?"

"Just now I was thinking about whether to kill you... Are you scared?"

Ai Xueer blinked: "Kill me? What happens if I get killed?"

"People die when they are killed."

"Death? What is death?"

Regarding the girl's inquisitive question, Cheng Rang groaned for a long time, and finally seemed to give up, scratched his hair vigorously, and sighed: "What is death?... I can't explain this, probably because I don't feel anything. Until then, nothing will be seen until forever.”

"Like freezing sleep?"

"Uh...these two seem to be far apart."

"But this is obviously the same as what you said, I can't feel anything, I can't see anything..."

Being pestered and questioned by a sea-dwelling girl who knew nothing and was like a blank sheet of paper, Cheng Rang felt that the frequency of his sighs today had already caught up with the past week.

Chapter 32 Love...What is it?

Because the sea dwellers are all female, and they are all beautiful in appearance, the charm effect caused by this is subconscious behavior.

As long as men of other races fall into the sea, they will be disturbed by the strong charm when they encounter the sea-dwelling species, and their souls will be drained by the instinctive reproduction behavior of the sea-dwelling species.

This also explains why Ai Xueer subconsciously casts a charm on Cheng Rang when she is threatened, and is invalidated by the will-strengthening skill.

Asking three questions, shouting hungry when meeting each other, and not being able to tear the packaging after eating, it does not prove that the guys of the sea dwellers are all idiots, but Echelle herself did not know all this, and she was also about to starve to death at the time.

Even under the communication with the help of translation system, Ai Xueer couldn't understand the meaning of words in some sea-dwelling languages.

Cheng Rang was surprised that in such a desperate and chaotic [war] environment, there was still such a pure soul, who did not know what death was, nor what war was.

She has a childlike sense of hope and good things, without any fake smiles, and just the satisfaction of eating enough can make her happy.

From Cheng Rang's point of view, all of these are things that are more precious than gold in this special era.

"Procedure?"

During the conversation, I had already learned the name of the person in front of me, and seeing that he had bowed his head in thought for a long time without speaking, Ai Xueer, who was lying beside the water, called out softly.

"I'm here."

"Can you accompany me to find my mother...?" She asked expectantly.

"..."

Cheng Rang couldn't bear to look directly at Ai Xueer's amber eyes that seemed to be able to see through the heart at a glance, looked away, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry to say this, but Ai Xueer...your mother Most likely dead."

"Mom she... died? Why?"

Her eyes widened, still puzzled.

To save you, die in war.

The answer got stuck in Cheng Rang's throat, and he couldn't say it for a long time.

These were too cruel for her, and she even couldn't bear to tell them.

"Ai Xueer, will you never see your mother again?"

The girl stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Cheng Rang's clothes, gently tugging and questioning.

"Cheng...Cheng...You mean, Ai Xueer...has nothing left?"

"sorry."

Cheng Rang never thought that he would apologize to other races as a human in this world.

And more than once.

Ai Xueer, who didn't get an answer for a long time, finally let go of the hand that was holding Cheng Rang's clothes, and slowly retracted into the water, exposing only half of her face and spitting bubbles outside.

The conversation was interrupted, and the atmosphere fell into silence.Only the sound of the groundwater waterfall in the distance is still rattling, echoing in the endless void.

After a while, Ai Xueer suddenly took the initiative to speak and broke the silence:

"Ai Xueer... You must listen to your mother and live."

live on...

As if a distant cry echoed in Ai Xueer's ears through time and space, she suddenly thought of something, propped herself up from the water with a splash, and moved close to Cheng Rang's face, startling him.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

She stared straight at herself, and the crystal drops of water slowly fell down her alluring body and tender skin, making Cheng Rang's heart beat a little faster.

"last question!"

"......you say."

The girl's cherry lips parted slightly, and said slowly——

"what is love?"

......

The two of them stood eye to eye for a while, Cheng Rang said in a helpless tone, "First is war, then death...is it love in the end?"

With a wry smile, Cheng Rang scratched his hair: "You obviously don't know anything yet, but the question you asked is surprisingly tricky."

"Mom, while pushing me into the shell....the last words are...."

"I love you, don't you?"

"Well...Ai Xueer, I don't know what that means, but...my mother always tells me that every time I hear it...here, I feel very comfortable." Ai Xueer Pressing her hand lightly on her chest, she said with a smile, "Ai Xueer is thinking... If she never sees her mother again, after knowing what 'love' is, she can also be with her like before, Are you happy?"

"So, can Cheng Neng tell Ai Xueer... what is love?"

It was the memory that had been blurred in Cheng Rang's mind, the sound of the TV advertisement being turned down, and the sound of the keychain ringing outside the door.

It is under the warm yellow light, the sound of the range hood in the kitchen and the wonderful music played by the spatula and the bottom of the pot.

It was the aroma of food that could move my fingers, and a gentle call——

"Son, let's eat."

If you know what love is, can you be as happy as you were with your mother before?

As if standing at the other end of the long river called time, looking back, the figure of the important person who gave him life and taught him everything, even though his face is blurred, has never been touched by any traces. erase.

"If you know what love is...if you've experienced what it's like to be surrounded by love..."

"Procedure...."

"Who else wants to leave?"

How many times have you ever thought about how good it would be if you were not selected by the system?

He just wants to have someone who can prepare a steaming meal every time he is hungry in his boring and ordinary life, put it on the table, and call himself: Son, dinner is ready.

There is no need to know what love is, just to indulge in it, to live an ordinary life like this...

The strong emotion called missing was awakened by the girl who was as pure as white paper in front of her, and Cheng Rang's voice choked up.

"It's really the silliest question and the smartest one."

"Love is the strongest and most beautiful thing in an emotion. It refers to the feeling of liking to a deep level and then paying for it. It refers to the sense of satisfaction and happiness that people actively give or consciously expect... ..”

"In general, it is a very complicated thing that cannot be explained by words."

Thinking of the Ex-Machina girl who had been following Rick, Cheng Rang pointed to his chest and said slowly:

"It's something that needs a 'heart' to feel."

......

In the settlement, Rick and Hubie are waiting for him to go back, but the current situation makes Cheng a dilemma.

Even if they went down to investigate, they still couldn't solve the problem of the water source being cut off, and leaving Ai Xueer here alone couldn't make people feel at ease.

Cheng Rang is still unable to let go of the few hopes in the desperate world to the abyss. Even as a foreign race, there are still people who pursue peace and beautiful things.

Although they are caught in endless wars because their creator gods want to get the star cup, as a race with intelligence, they can still feel what "love" is.

Even a lifeless machine wants to analyze the existence of the 'heart'.

Would such a situation be called an exception here?

Chapter 33 Methods

Ai Xueer stared at Cheng Rang's movements and imitated, put her hands on her chest, and murmured: "Heart?"

"Yes, 'heart'." Cheng Rang patted his pants and stood up from the ground, "That's a very complicated thing."

"Cheng, Ai Xueer...does she have a 'heart' too?"

"...Of course." Cheng Rang paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "When your mother said she loved you, she felt warm in her chest, wasn't she very happy?"

"Ah."

"That is the joy from the heart."

"From the heart...?"

"That's right, that's the language reflected from the 'heart', and only you can understand it."

Want to be together all the time.

When we are together, we will feel very happy.
