Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

【Suffered...】

[Destobia will not be happy with such an unpleasant sound. 】

【How to do? 】

[What's wrong with me? Why did you hit me...]

【She has never hit me...】

[Otherwise, apologize first. 】

Unexpectedly, Destobia seemed to have completely thought of what she was thinking, and did not get up from Kosmo. She said in a low voice with suppressed anger: "Who said that before going out that night a few days ago? Will you come back intact? Do you know what you have become?"

"Apologise!" Destobia shouted, pushing herself up, and strands of golden hair fell around Kosma's face.

Her face came into Kosma's view.

The young and lovely face was stained with tears, and her eyes were red.

Kosmo panicked - he raised his hands, but didn't know what to do. He stopped in front of Destobia's eyes and didn't know whether he should help wipe away her tears.

He had no choice but to reply hurriedly:

"Sorry, I was wrong."

"Sorry, I was wrong."

"Sorry, I was wrong."

The silence was no longer the same as before, and he said it three times in a row.

Seeing him like this, Destobia wiped her eyes, showed a little smile and said, "What's wrong?"

When Kosmo saw Destobia smiling slightly, his panic finally calmed down.

He thought for a while and said: "I shouldn't let myself be covered in injuries."

"stare--"

"Uh......"

"I shouldn't have put myself in total danger, leaving no way out."

Only then was Destobia satisfied. She completely left the action of squeezing Kosmo's body. When she stood up, she took Kosmo's hand and asked him to sit up.

She also sat on the edge of the bed, holding Kosmo's hand and refusing to let go. She patted her chest with the other hand and sighed: "Don't do that again... When Aponya brought you back, I I almost fainted from shock.”

"I..." Kosmo looked at his other hand, looking very confused.

Destobia naturally discovered it.

"what happened?"

Kosmo was silent for a moment and then said: "I don't know what happened. In the end, I fainted and woke up here."

"Ah?" Destobia made a surprised sound: "Ah Mo, you don't know?"

As she said this, she seemed to suddenly realize it, and muttered: "That's because you were so burned that you were so hot that you probably don't remember it."

"The fever...is not human-like?" Kosmo tilted his head slightly and looked at her.

"Yes." She nodded, the slight expression on her face changed a little, as if she was recalling the terrible scene, and even the hand holding Kosmo's hand obviously increased its strength.

Kosmo understood that he was probably severely burned after he hit the monster with his car and hit the wall. The firepower of the helicopter gunship and the spontaneous combustion of the car caused him to be severely burned... and then he was rescued by Aponia.

"Huh--" Kosmo relaxed, wishing he had survived.

He also tightened his hand with Destobia, looked at her and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, the enemy exceeded my expectations... I shouldn't have done that."

Destobia blinked her eyes, turned her head and looked in another direction, and muttered: "It's good to know..."

...

There was a voice outside the cabin door.

"Okay, I know."

"Go."

"Get rid of this exceptional company."

Kosmo and Destobia looked at each other.

Even after passing the wooden door, they were familiar with the sound of the sign, Aponia.

Before Destobia could open the door, the wooden door had already been opened.

Apponia walked in.

She held her hands in front of her and below her belly as always, wearing a nun's uniform, and her face was extremely peaceful.

"How does it feel?", she asked.

Kosmo took his hand out of Destobia's, stood up and moved, looking at Destobia's hopeful eyes and Aponia and said: "It feels good."

Aponya walked closer and nodded: "That's good."

Kosmo thought about it and said, "Is it also the power of your white light?"

"Yes."

"...Then what happened to me?" Kosmo sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed his forehead and said, "What happens after that? I was unconscious for a long time?"

"It didn't take long, a few hours." Aponya nodded and said, "I have solved it."

Brand new branches: 329.Xuguang and the boy

"......"

Kosma looked at Apponia.

Then I remembered what she said to others on the phone outside the door just now.

And she has experienced her magical power herself. Since she said it can be solved, it can indeed be solved.

Kosmo and Destobia sat on the edge of the bed, and she held one of Kosmo's hands tightly, fearing that he would disappear.

Kosmo looked at her and said nothing - maybe he didn't know how to express his position.

He had no choice but to shift his target to Aponya, who was sitting on a stool in front of the two of them, and asked: "What happened after I fainted?"

"This..." Aponya was silent for a moment, and looked at Destobia's expression to make sure that her mental endurance was intact and that she was not repulsed by this in her heart.

She didn't really want to hear the details of Kosma's suffering.

Kosmo, on the other hand, was expressionless and silent, with strong curiosity.

The two have completely opposite sincere attitudes towards this.

But Aponia could also feel Destobia's recognition of Kosmo's pursuit of knowledge.

She rejects it herself, but she won't let Kosmo reject it too.

In this case, Aponya looked at Kosmo: "Okay."

Kosmo's sitting posture changed slightly, and he became more focused.

His mind became flexible again.

Aponya spoke in a eloquent voice, but did not directly talk about the aftermath of Kosmo's fainting. Instead, he talked about other things.

"My people have investigated it clearly."

"What? Oh..." Kosmo realized that Aponya was talking about the research institute of the pharmaceutical company.

Aponia nodded: "They are an exception. As an ordinary pharmaceutical company, they accidentally obtained some of the remnants of Honkaimon."

"They are not on the permissible list of people under the United Nations who have the authority to know about relevant matters."

"And it's hard for me to notice everything. What's more, what they have been doing before is serious pharmaceutical research and development and production, which is useful to people and has no impact on our business, so it is not in our plan."

"Our current manpower is also limited, so we have not noticed their unusual increase in security level."

"..." Kosmo moved his eyes and thought of something: "In other words... is the so-called collapse becoming more widespread? - So much so that an ordinary pharmaceutical company has obtained Got something related?”

Aponya lowered his eyes slightly: "Yes, Honkai is increasingly increasing its presence in human society."

"But this time you encountered, there may be other situations."

"Huh?" Kosmo asked in a questioning voice, "What's going on?"

Aponia: "The parts of the Honkaiju remains they obtained came from local government agencies and political groups. They kept the research secretly hidden from the United Nations and specialized countermeasures affiliated agencies."

"!?"

"Humanity is not united, I won't deny it, because we are part of this disunity." Aponya also said this, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, lit up the screen, opened something and handed it to Cosmo. .

Kosma took it, and Destobia stretched out her head.

It's an investigative report.

It details the whole story of how this company obtained the remains of Honkaimon... accurate to the individual's movements measured in hours.

Such a strong ability....

"...", Kosmo put down the phone and returned it to Aponya.

Aponia is different from Destobia.

Destobia's ability to decipher the silence of Kosmo was accumulated through her own good observation and spending many days with Kosmo.

And Aponya can feel it directly.

"You are right. The power of the church has penetrated into many places."

"Those people are not considered an opposition because they have no idea of ​​the actual situation and only regard the church as a political group that they have always existed before."

“At this point, that’s how the rest of the world sees us.”

"So, they are considered a lone activist. And they are a lone activist targeting government institutions in this local country."

“The Church is independent and aloof from them, yet rules over many of them.”

"However, the real core will not be exposed."

Kosmo pursed his lips: "Why are you telling me this..."

"Because you two have potential, good intentions, wishes, and abilities."

Destobia: "Me and two?"

"Yes." Aponya nodded: "Fighting Honkai and protecting humanity requires many, many people to work together and the unity of humanity."

“They are also [uniting] and gathering power.”

"But relying on their method, engaging in internal intrigues amidst the external unity of humanity where power is gathered together, humanity will not win, and will pay the price of destruction."

"I want to change all that miserable future."

"......"

"Predict the future?" Kosmo frowned: "You know I don't like the talk of religious gods."

"But none of this is false." Aponya held the cross white bead pendant on his chest: "I can do it."

"......"

Kosmo doesn't deny it.

Because Aponia is indeed magical, she has magical powers.

It's just that he has saved himself many times, so he doesn't need to say anything.

But predicting the future or something...

I really can't get interested in this kind of babbling stuff.

Kosmo snorted and pressed his temples with his free hand: "I don't care about those powers, and I don't dare to be interested... Honkai, I just want to help the unfortunate people."

"It should be so." Aponya nodded: "You should be a young man full of hope and vitality, shining like the rising light of the sun in a world that is fixed, hopeless and lifeless."

"Kosmo, you have aspirations."

"You can embark on the road to becoming a hero, share joy and conscience, and achieve a heroic era with everyone."

"This is also why I founded the church... After all, the church is just a name, it is not a religion."
