Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

"It's just that Cecilia's mental recovery is very slow, at least, it will take more than five years."

Siegfried breathed a sigh of relief: "Long, you scared me to death... It's okay, it's just time. I can afford to wait. As long as Cecilia can come back, everything will be fine!"

Theresa was also startled, and then she relaxed and complained: "Mr. Long, it's really not the right time for you to pause in your words..."

Suddenly, Theresa remembered what Long said just now and asked again: "So, Mr. Long, what are the two options you mentioned?"

Siegfried, no matter how nervous he was, came to his senses: "Yes, Long, what exactly is the choice you are talking about?"

Change comes quietly: Chapter 1 Siegfried’s Choice

After learning that Cecilia has not completely disappeared and will come back sooner or later.

The atmosphere in the room was obviously much more lively than before.

Siegfried clenched the orb in his hand, not daring to relax at all, and looked at Long expectantly, wanting to know what the two choices he was talking about were.

Theresa stepped forward and pulled Long's sleeve, and said solemnly: "Mr. Long, tell me, what choice is it... No matter what the cost, I am willing to bear it. I once made a vow to myself , willing to do anything to protect their smiles."

"Ah...me too, Cecilia is willing to sacrifice her life to protect me...how could I abandon her!" Siegfried said firmly, placing his clenched left fist on his heart.

Long blinked, waved his hand and said with a chuckle: "It's not as serious as you think."

"The two choices are very simple. First..." Long said, stopping and looking at Siegfried's empty right arm.

Golden light particles appeared in his hand, and dozens of rays of light extended out in the air and connected to Siegfried's shoulder without any support. Long's fingers began to move, and at the same time he said:

"The first one, just like your arm, I will reconstruct Cecilia's body...which will be beneficial to Kiana's growth and Siegfried's longing for you."

"The bad thing is, because the "information" possessed by Cecilia is exactly the same, even the memory cells in the brain are no different... there is a high possibility that a brand new [soul" with Cecilia's memory will be born ]"

"It's very simple to avoid it, just erase the memory stored in this body and erase a brand new soul."

Siegfried and Theresa shook their heads after hearing this. Siegfried said bluntly: "What about the second option?"

"The second option is for you or Kiana to always carry this orb containing Cecilia's broken soul. I will add a memory information acquisition channel to the orb so that Cecilia's broken spirit can also access the outside world. The information allows her to experience the same length of time as the wearer on the day of recovery, and she will not feel the hesitation of having lost her memory for many years when she regains consciousness."

"After all, she has memories of shared experiences with the wearer."

"The disadvantages are also obvious. Without the companionship of the physical carrier [mother], it will have an impact on Kiana to a greater or lesser extent... Given this choice, my suggestion is to give the orb to Kiana to wear... Because she can at least feel Cecilia’s presence from it, knowing that her mother has always been with her... I believe Siegfried can feel that feeling when you hold the orb."

"..."

Siegfried nodded silently. He really felt Cecilia's presence when he held the orb containing Cecilia's soul in his hand...

"Now that things have happened... Siegfried, it's not that I don't consider you, but Kiana's growth..."

"..."

"Well, I understand... Kiana is the most precious treasure of me and Cecilia. I am willing to give everything for them. This kind of trivial waiting is nothing." Sieg flew his brand new The arm replied.

The arm is very comfortable, and the feeling is no different from the past. There is no visual feeling of regeneration of the broken arm just now. It is simply the same as the original product that has been used for decades.

"Theresa, do you have anything to say?"

"..."

"No. As long as Siegfried, Cecilia, and Kiana's family are good, I'll be satisfied."

The three of them reached an agreement, but...

"But Siegfried...have you figured out how to tell Kiana...about Cecilia? She is very smart and is already eight years old. You can't deceive her."

Long's sudden question made Siegfried feel like he was struck by lightning. He opened his left hand and looked at the orb in his hand, as if he wanted to ask for help. After a while, Siegfried said dejectedly and helplessly: "I... I’m not ready…don’t know what to say.”

Theresa also became depressed: "My miserable niece..."

Long looked at the expressions of the two of them and said helplessly: "I don't know what to do in this regard. Such a young child suddenly tells her such news..."

"My suggestion is... tell Kiana directly that Cecilia is in the orb, she will definitely be able to feel it."

"As for the real reason...it depends on whether you tell her or not."

After saying that, Long took the orb from Siegfried and began to transform it.

Siegfried and Theresa were both thinking, and they couldn't think of any good excuse... Kiana was already eight years old, and she had already learned the Kaslana family's gun fighting skills very well. It will be no problem to reach B-level Valkyrie after a few years of growth.

Very sensible, very considerate, very smart...

"Give."

Long's voice pulled Siegfried out of his contemplation and hesitation.

"Kiana already has a necklace, and the beads on it are also made of my power."

"When the time comes, you put Cecilia's gem on it, and the gem will automatically absorb the bead. I have added auxiliary attribute functions to the gem [cannot be lost] [automatic recovery] [sturdiness] and so on. Although Cecily Ya's spirit has been broken, but she has not died completely, so her power channel still exists and will automatically supply power to the gem. After installing the chain, Siegfried, you don't have to worry about the gem being destroyed or lost, Cecilia Will always accompany Kiana to grow up."

"Okay, thank you very much."

"......"

"There is nothing to thank... Our two families are friends, and Cecilia is still my blood descendant... I need to help you both emotionally and rationally."

[...Sorry, I indulged Otto, but...there is no one more suitable than him for the time being. 】

[Kiana will definitely grow up well, and you will definitely be together, I promise. 】

"...Alicia is still taking care of the children in the orphanage in Siberia. I have to go there. Siegfried Theresa, you can go to Changkong City to pick up Kiana. She will wake up soon."

He stood up and wanted to walk out.

Theresa stopped Long and said, "Mr. Long...can you tell me what happened this time? And Siegfried."

"..."

Long looked at Siegfried and looked at him. After careful consideration, he suppressed a trace of guilt in his heart and said to Theresa: "To put it simply...your grandfather had his own plan, so he took action against them... "

"How could this happen..." Theresa collapsed on the ground.

On one side is Cecilia and Kiana whom I like...

On one side is my dear grandfather, Otto Apokalis...

Why do the people she loves want to fight each other... Teresa doesn't understand.

What plans does grandpa have to take action against Cecilia's family?Obviously we are all destined people... Grandpa wants to do experiments but he will not refuse... In the past, everyone was subjected to many experiments by grandpa.

Why has it come to this...

Even the Destiny Floating Island almost fell.

"Didi..." Theresa's communicator rang. She took it out and saw that it was Tianming's full announcement message.

"Siegfried...traitor of fate?...How could this happen! I'll go find Grandpa and ask him!"

Siegfried: "No... Teresa, don't go... I understood one thing during the battle with Otto... Otto really wants to kill me."

Teresa: "I don't understand..."

Siegfried: "He thinks I don't want to be controlled. He thinks that I have repeatedly ruined his plans since I was a child...and now even Skyfire..." Siegfried looked at his empty right hand, his voice gradually became lower, Cass The representative weapon of the Lanna family was separated from her own hands and fell into destiny.

"As a man, a husband, a father... I will not go around Otto!"

Teresa hesitated in sadness.

Long pulled Theresa up from the ground. He didn't want to stay here for a long time... He felt guilty for the Siegfried family.

Because Otto will never die before he achieves his goal...that means Siegfried's revenge will never be completed...at least not until then.

For the first time, Long felt that he was so despicable...

Under the guise of serving the world, I hurt others, hurt many people...and then ended up with such a high-sounding and hypocritical tone to deceive others.

[Aponia... You guys really got it wrong. 】

【I am just a selfish person after all. 】

【….】

[I have always known that I am not qualified to lead you. 】

Change comes quietly: Chapter 131 Cocolia Orphanage

"Mr. Long..."

Just when Long was about to leave, Siegfried told him to stop, and Long felt something was wrong.

Since the two became friends, Siegfried rarely addressed him formally like this.

Long paused, turned his head and looked at Siegfried's tangled expression, and Long's palms gradually tightened.

"What do you want to say?"

I hope Siegfried will not reveal his guessed request...

"I want... to let Kiana live at your place. I have something to do—"

"boom!"

"Wait a minute, don't fight, what are you doing?!" Theresa exclaimed, rushing over to pull the two apart.

Just when Siegfried spoke, Long turned around and took Siegfried by the collar and knocked him against the wall. Theresa rushed over but couldn't pull the two apart at all. Long's strength far exceeded hers.

Long stared at Siegfried with tired, embarrassed, and guilty eyes and said, "She is your daughter. She is only eight years old. Do you want to run away from her?"

"No...I just feel sorry for her."

"Besides, now I am wanted by destiny...Long, please let me calm down for a few days."

Siegfried put his hand on Long's fist that was tightly grasping his collar.

The expression of this man who had experienced the pain of losing his wife made Long gradually relax his hands...

In my memory, during those days, I had some escaping behaviors that were unwilling to face everything...among those three lifeless ruins.

"I'll pick up Kiana when the time comes. I won't wait too long. If you don't want to face her, I'll hand her over to Theresa." After saying that, Long turned around and walked out.

"Thank you..." Siegfried said gratefully.

Long's leaving figure paused for a moment... his expression was extremely tangled.

"No thanks."

Then he left with firm steps.

Theresa looked at Siegfried who was much more decadent than before. In her impression, such Siegfried had never appeared before. Even in the past, her grandfather finally agreed that he and Cecilia would meet. Siegfried time and time again. He had never been so decadent before when he fell in front of Cheng Lixue.

"Siegfried...after that, take Kiana to live in Saint Freya."

"Although grandpa is looking for you, I have the final say on Saint Freya, and they can't hurt Kiana!"

"..."

"Thanks, Teresa."

"You're welcome, Kiana is my niece, you are all my family, this is how it should be."

"Let's go and see Kiana... No matter how sensible my niece is, you, as the father, have to give an explanation before leaving, right?"

"......Um."

-

-

Speaking of Long.

After exiting the infirmary gate of St. Freya Academy, he stood up and entered the air, turning into a golden shadow and quickly heading to the orphanage in Cocolia, Siberia.

This orphanage is different. The fund that Alicia entrusted to Cocolia has financed and built many other welfare homes to solve the problems of orphaned elderly and children who had a very difficult life caused by the turmoil in Russia.

But this one is the only one, this one is the orphanage she built in Cocolia before the second collapse. She treats the children here as her own children, and these children also affectionately call her Cocoa. Mama Leah.

Even the current group of children, most of them were after the second collapse. After the grown-up children left and entered society, she found children who were more vulnerable to being robbed by various forces.

Almost every child found by Cocolia has extremely strong resistance to Honkai energy, or is a [Affiliator], and it is no surprise that they all have families that have been broken up by Honkai attacks.

Although Takashi kept most of the people living in Siberia alive during the second collapse, there were still tens of thousands of casualties.

Moreover, after the second Collapse, the number of Collapse events in this world increased significantly. Countries around the world began to gather populations in large cities to facilitate management and resist Collapse.

But because of the previous turmoil, Russia was unable to care about the people living in these remote places.

Although their unrest has eased a lot due to the intervention of Alicia and Cocolia, there are still population losses caused by the collapse event, population loss during social unrest, etc...
