If Aponia had not arrived in time, his wife Blanka would have nearly died in this collapse, and his daughter Grayshu would have had to take the risk of undergoing a fusion warrior operation. Although she was lucky enough not to die, she would have become a being that would be looked at strangely by others, and it would be impossible for her to grow up carefree like an ordinary child.

"So I think I really need to spend more time with my dear Blanca and Grayshu!" He quickly cheered up and laughed, "After all, I am fighting for them now, so I can't just lose sight of the main goal."

"Hen..." Blanca's eyes were full of emotion.

"Blanca..." Hen's eyes were full of love.

What a corny couple - Grace, who was sandwiched in the middle, showed the same subtle expression as Pado.

This situation made Li frown slightly: "Grayxiu, can you come over here for a moment?"

"Sister Li, what do you want me to do?"

Looking at Grayshu who came closer with a familiar tone and expression, Li's gaze silently fell on Padufils.

"It wasn't me who taught you that, Sister Li. I just stayed in the car with Grace for a while and that's when things became like this!" Padufils was horrified and quickly tried to defend her innocence.

"It seems to be a side effect of the surgery. When Gray Xiu stays with someone for a long time, her personality will become similar to that person..." Hen touched Gray Xiu's head and sighed, "I'm not sure what other side effects there are."

"It should be that I am easily able to perceive other people's emotions consciously..."

Under Gracie's bright gaze, Li gently held her face, and then his own blue eyes instantly turned red. At the same time, Gracie's eyes, which were as clear and foolish as Padofils', also became pure.

"Sister Li..."

"Hoohoo, the lovely Grayshu is back again~"

Li pinched Grayshu's cheek and held Grayshu in his arms in the surprised eyes of Zaihen and Blanca. "I helped Grayshu add a layer of mental filter. Now her own consciousness will not change so easily with the fluctuations of the outside world."

When it comes to consciousness manipulation, the Herrscher of Consciousness's abilities are really useful - after practicing his own powers, Li became more certain of this.

With this strength, completing my plan shouldn't be a problem—

Just as Li was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a light pull on her arm. She turned around and found that it was Padufils who was looking at her with pitiful eyes - Grace in her arms.

"Sister Li..."

Sighing helplessly, Li could only hold Padufils in her arms as well - fortunately, although the physique of the artificial Herrscher could not be compared to when she killed the Herrscher alone, it had been strengthened to a certain extent, otherwise she might not be able to hold the two little ones at the same time.

"Li, you are still as popular with the kids as ever."

"Yeah." Looking at the scenery flashing outside the window, Li showed a complex smile that was difficult to distinguish, "So, we have to work harder to protect them."

"Anyway..."

-

The banquet that unfolded in Eden's manor could only be described as chaos.

Although Li did not die, which gave everything room to maneuver, the atmosphere on the scene was still quite dangerous. When Li and the others arrived at the manor, Su, who occupied the moral high ground, was arguing with the group of scholars, and the scientific research trio was unable to raise their heads. Kevin and Alicia were trembling, Aponia closed her eyes and prayed, and Kosmo and Desdobia did not dare to speak.

He was such a gentle and polite person back then, why does every word he says now sound so hurtful?

In any case, Li, who arrived, finally managed to mediate the conflict among everyone, at least easing it down and making it no longer so intense.

But not long after, she saw Wei Liwei go to see Su again, and then the two of them showed terrifying smiles like villains who had reached a secret agreement.

Although he didn't know who they wanted to deal with, it didn't stop Li Xian from praying for them.

Amen~

Although Su's problem has been solved, it seems that there is still a tougher person who has not arrived yet...

Looking at the party that had finally become a happy one - at least there was no fighting - Li couldn't help but think of Qianjie who was still in jail.

Well, let’s fish this guy out in a couple of days.

ps. Thank you for the treasure box rewarded by the hot water boss, I am so touched! For you, I decided to continue three updates today - unfortunately I don’t have any manuscripts saved, and I have to code now... Yanxi transfer group ①: 837783853

Volume 237: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter : A Decision That Violates Principles

The biggest obstacle to rescuing Qianjie was originally the top management. They did not want to release this overly dangerous existence, especially when the other party was hostile to the Fire Moth.

But within a month, the top brass was no longer an obstacle—because they were all dead.

Some people committed suicide by shooting themselves dozens of times in the back, some chopped off their own heads with fruit knives, and some drowned while swimming in the bathtub... Anyway, they all died.

Su's excuses were so perfunctory that Li couldn't bear to look directly at them, but no one could do anything to him. Because there was no evidence pointing to the new leader of the Fire Moth, he handled the matter very cleanly, and it was said that even the killer of the Poison Pupa was amazed by Su.

In addition, Su was quite fair in handling other matters, perfectly balancing the demands of all parties, and his efficiency in solving problems was impeccable, so he firmly controlled the entire Fire Moth.

And since the manager is one of his own, it is very easy for Li to save someone.

But the problem is - with Qianjie's personality, he will really explode when something happens.

Li suspected that once Qianjie came out of prison and knew what had happened before, the first thing he would do would be to kill Abonya, and then Mei, Wei Liwei, Kevin... he would kill them all one by one.

Qianjie's emotional explosion brings energy to himself, which is a good civilization - but if it kills other sheep, it is a bad civilization.

So, Li decided to make a decision that went against his principles...

-

"Your name is Sakura, right?"

Before entering the prison, Li looked at the pink-haired woman with a pair of long fox ears beside him, and said helplessly: "Actually, I can go by myself. I have the power to protect myself, and Qianjie can't hurt me."

"I'm sorry, but this is Mr. Su's order." The woman named Ying shook her head stubbornly, "In order to prevent any accidents, I need to protect you closely."

“Ahahaha, I actually don’t think it’s necessary…”

Seeing that Ying's eyes showed no sign of giving up, Li could only smile bitterly and obey her: "Okay, but you two don't fight later..."

This face, these ears, this hairstyle, this name - it's you, Yaezakura!

Although she didn't show it, Li almost laughed out loud when she saw Sakura. Fortunately, there was no Kallen in this world, otherwise she would really want to persecute Otto.

Unfortunately, in the current timeline, Rialto and Yae Sakura no longer have any intersection, so even if Li wants to play with memes in the future, no one will understand her.

Oh, life is so lonely~

But based on the other party's appearance and name, Li can be sure that Ying's charging efficiency will not be low. Moreover, the other party's combat power is also online. It is the investigator who tied with Qianjie after killing all the people in the sanatorium. This further proves that Ying is definitely an important character.

But how to attack? After all, what this person has done before is indeed a bit tricky.

Li could understand the other party's behavior at that time. As a fighter of the Poison Pupa Unit, a warrior like Ying would most likely only use one method to solve the problem - that is the knife in his hand.

Therefore, when she saw that a large-scale Honkai disease outbreak was brewing, she would naturally take action first to cut off the possibility of it breaking out... After all, all the medicines she had sent over before had been embezzled.

But the problem is that Li can understand it, but can Qianjie and Aponia?

Alas, interpersonal relationships are such a troublesome problem.

Future problems will be left to future considerations. At this time, Li still took Ying into the prison. After passing through the long corridor, he saw the long-lost white figure in the deepest cell.

"Qianjie, long time no see."

Hearing this familiar voice, Qianjie, who had his back to the cell, suddenly straightened up. He turned his head, revealing a somewhat damaged Ultraman mask.

"Li...?"

Slowly standing up, Qianjie walked to Li step by step, looking at Li who was only separated from him by a railing, and after a long time he spoke: "Why did it become like this?"

[Energy +18000]

Qianjie could not hear the other person’s heartbeat or breathing...Humans do not exist like this.

Although Qianjie's tone was calm, Li could hear his hidden anger before, let alone now that she has the Herrscher of Knowledge core and is more sensitive to emotions?

"Nothing, I was injured before, so I had some reconstruction surgery~" Li smiled easily, looked at the railings and changed the subject, "This cell can't hold you at all, why are you staying here?"

"There's no point in going out." Qianjie paused for a moment, "The sanatorium is gone. Everyone in it was killed by the woman next to you."

At this moment, Li could feel the vigilance and nervousness coming from Sakura beside him - she was guarding against Qianjie's sudden rampage and hurting people.

But Li didn't show any sign of being on guard, she just nodded calmly.

"Ok, I know."

"...You didn't go back there in the end." Although he was wearing a mask, Li could feel Qianjie staring at him. "You are not the kind of person who would break a promise. What happened?"

"I was slightly injured, but I'm fine now..." Li sighed and stretched out his hand to Qianjie, "So you want to go with me, Qianjie?"

Qianjie was silent. He looked at Li in front of him. She stretched out her hand just like when she invited him to leave with her when they first met.

Finally, Qianjie snorted coldly: "Follow you? You want me to listen to you? You already know the rules. Of course, you can also ask the woman next to you to do it for you, I have nothing to do——"

"Then let's have a competition, Qianjie~" Li interrupted Qianjie with a smile. She cut off two strands of hair from her head and handed one to it. "Whoever can tear this hair first will win, and the winner can make a request to the loser!"

"Huh? Are you kidding me, how can this be compared to-?!"

The next moment, Qianjie's expression froze. He had originally planned to burn the hair into ashes, but he found that he had no way to damage it.

There was nothing special about this hair. Even a child could easily destroy it, but Qianjie just couldn't do it!

"what have you done?!"

"It's just a simple mental shackle." Li easily broke the hair in his hand and said with a smile, "It makes you unwilling to do something from the bottom of your consciousness."

"Then Qianjie, you are willing to accept the loss. Should I make a request?"

"... Humph, whatever you want." Although he still had a sour face, Qianjie had no intention of denying it. No matter what Li had just done, losing was losing, and he could afford to lose.

"Then I'll tell you, Qianjie..."

Li's expression gradually became serious, and after hesitating, she made up her mind to speak.

"【Don't hurt your companions】"

Skirt~

Volume 238: Faith Extinct in Civilization: Chapter Chapter Isn't That Good?

"what?"

doubt.

Qianjie didn't know why Li suddenly said such incoherent words, and the request that Li made left him confused.

He didn't feel any changes in himself, but judging from his performance when Li prevented him from pulling out his hair, Qianjie was sure that Li had put the so-called mental shackles on him.

But Qianjie was very sure that although Li was a bad-tempered woman who liked to make bad jokes, she would never suddenly do something incoherent and affect other people - since the other party completely used her ability to set shackles for herself, there must be a reason behind it.

Tell Qianjie directly that this matter must be related to Li’s current appearance.

"Are you afraid that I would kill someone?" Qianjie sneered, "If you are so worried, then you should impose more extensive measures on me - like forbidding me to harm innocent people or something stupid like that!"

"You don't need that thing at all, Qianjie. Although you always speak harshly, I know you will never do anything to hurt innocent people." Li sighed, "It's just...some things happened before, and I'm a little worried that you will get too angry and hurt them."

"Like Aponya?"

When the name was mentioned, Qianjiedao's tone became visibly agitated. "She wanted to help others, but she had no ability to solve any problems. She could only make the problems worse and let others bear the consequences! She is self-righteous and sanctimonious, and she deserves to die!! If she hadn't insisted on taking in those infected with Honkai Disease, I wouldn't have done it again... again——!"

"I understand your anger, Qianjie."

Li lowered his eyes and whispered, "I still remember the name of everyone in the nursing home... John, he was a teacher before he retired, and he is still teaching children in the nursing home. Lamb and Mike have never gotten along since they were young, and they quarrel every day when they are old, but their relationship is better than anyone else. Linda's dream is to become a fashion designer when she grows up, and she wants to invite me to be her model. Anthony and Devi originally wanted to be soldiers, but after listening to my story, they kept arguing about becoming emperors of the earth..."

"Aponya's act of helping without considering the consequences killed them, but before that, most of them survived because Aponya helped without considering the consequences... Often times, people without power cannot see too far ahead, so all they can do is make decisions in the present - and this sometimes leads to consequences they cannot bear."

When talking about this, Li's eyes revealed an unspeakable sadness: "Sometimes this world gives people a heart that wants to help others, but when she sees suffering, it does not give her the ability to change it all..."

"Qianjie, I don't want you to forgive or understand Abonya, but... I am a selfish person, Qianjie, so I don't want to see my friends end up fighting to the death." Li smiled bitterly, "If Qianjie still decides to take revenge on Abonya, I won't stop you. The shackles I put on you are not steel seals, they will be removed after I die, so... at least wait until I die before doing all that."

Standing outside the cell, it was Li who won the bet and could subdue Qianjie at any time. However, the more powerful she was, the one who was begging - she was not even asking Qianjie to let go of her hatred, but just hoped that he would wait until she died before taking action.

Faced with such an earnest Li, how could Qianjie refuse?

He had no way of refusing.

"...Idiot." In the end, Qianjie could only spit in dissatisfaction, "Then let her head stay on her neck!"

Seeing Qianjie let go, Li finally smiled: "Thank you, Qianjie."

"But if you just want me to let Aponya go, you can just say her name. But you used the word companion." Qianjie didn't let this matter go so easily. "Are there others?"

Although it was a question, Qianjie's tone was as if he was stating a fact.

In response to this, Li Jia was silent for a while and then smiled as if he didn't care: "Nothing, just some minor conflicts with the previous leaders... They are all gone now, so Qianjie, you don't have to worry about it."

"Then it's settled. My companions are your companions, Qianjie. Don't hurt them, okay?"

"Huh, got it."

Seeing Qianjie nod, Li finally showed a satisfied smile on her face, but Ying, who was standing next to her at this time, looked a little uncomfortable.
