Chapter 16 Travelers, Don’t Be Shy!
["What's wrong? What's the sound?"]
[Aina exclaimed and ran back from outside. She hadn't even put on her clothes yet. She was still wrapped in a thin bath towel, with her big tail trailing behind her and dripping water droplets.]
[Your happiness value +10]
[Your acerbity value +3]
[Note: Travelers, don’t be shy! 】
["Aina, put your clothes on first! What do you look like in front of outsiders!"]
[Weier was so angry that her cat ears and tail were raised. She didn't care about the wooden bed that you had collapsed, and carried Aina out with one hand]
[Because you damaged other people’s property, you, traveler, dare not move at all. You can only sit among the broken boards and feel the difference on your body]
[You raised your hand and stroked your head]
[As you expected, a pair of small horns grew out of your head. The texture is very hard, and some materials like teeth and bones cannot be broken apart]
[Traveler, you have noticed that there is a peaceful energy in the air beside you]
[Although you can’t see the energy that surrounds you, you can fully feel the power they provide you. You are much stronger now than you were before]
[You punched the table lightly, and the wind caused by the punch immediately blew out the burning candle]
[After a minute, the cat-eared girl returned to the room panting slightly, and closed the door tightly to prevent her inconspicuous sister from running in again]
["Hey, why did this candle go out?"]
[Weier lit the candle again, then turned to look at you sitting on the broken bed board, and said with a speechless face: "How long are you going to sit there? The floor is very dirty, and it has not been swept for several years."]
[You stood up from the floor and asked, "How much does this bed cost?"]
["Forget it, this broken bed is worthless. It hasn't been used for a long time anyway." Wei'er shook her head and said: "You should have noticed the changes in yourself. I didn't expect that the alienation factor that infected you turned out to be of the dragon species. I don’t know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky.”]
[You touched the little horn on your head and asked curiously: "How do you say this?"]
[Weier narrowed her eyes and looked at your head, and said: "The strength and rarity of dragon-type origin beasts are top-notch among the origin beasts of the same level. Their alienation factors are full of 'destructive' Compared with 'aggression', the stability is also extremely poor, and it is the type of factor that is most likely to cause patients with alienation syndrome to lose control."]
["Of course, because of this, once dragon type alienation patients enter the transcendental realm, their strength will increase at the most exaggerated level. You have only been initially eroded by the alienation factor, but You should have realized your sudden increase in strength. In a pure competition of strength, I may not be your opponent now."]
[Traveler, after hearing Weier's description, you feel that the risk of becoming stronger is not unacceptable. At least you have not turned into a monster yet, and you still have time to find a solution to your problems]
[The cat-eared girl added: "Don't be too happy too early. I have never seen a few examples of dragon-type alienation patients who can peacefully close their eyes and leave the world. I have said before that for those of us, In other words, sublimation is alienation. The more you use the power from disaster, the deeper you will fall into the abyss of destruction, and sooner or later you will become a monster that loses its humanity."]
["Moreover, your body and bones are barely usable materials for those criminals. They can't kill dragons. It's easy to kill a mutant with dragon factors. You can sell it for some money." .”]
[Your happiness value -10]
Luo Xi was heartbroken when she read this text.
How dark is the world background of this word game?
Can there be more trust and truth, goodness and beauty between people?
But it seems like he can be resurrected, right?
So what would happen if he took out his body before resurrection and sold it?
Luo Xi fell into deep thought.
Maybe it can be a bug?
Kakaka—
He suddenly heard the sound of steel cracking.
Luo Xi looked away from the phone screen and found that she had unconsciously crushed the calf-thick steel pipe handrail of the balcony with her fingers.
The power he gained in the game was fully reflected in him in reality, and he also found that his eyesight had suddenly improved a lot.
Luo Xi controlled her finger and tapped the screen lightly, and continued to read the text.
[You looked up at the girl and asked softly: "After becoming a mutant, is there no possibility of turning back into a normal human being?"]
Luo Xi immediately held her breath.
That's what he wanted to ask.
[Weier gave you a desperate reply: "It's impossible. All we can do is try to delay the time when the alienation syndrome goes out of control. People who are lucky may be confused. After a lifetime, I heard that there are also alien species that can To embark on the formal path of sublimation, but this certainly has nothing to do with us.”]
[After being silent for a long time, you asked: "Why is this world so malicious towards 'alien species'?"]
[Weier laughed at herself, pointed to the cat ears on her head and said, "Why else? Because we suffer from alienation syndrome. This is the biggest reason."]
["Didn't you ask where my parents were yesterday?"]
["Original beasts above the disaster level will release things called 'alienation factors'. Pregnant women may cause the fetus to be alienated due to inhalation of the factor. Just like Aina and I, they are born with alienation." patients.”]
["My mother said that my father wanted to throw me to death after I was born, but my mother fought hard to snatch me back. She took me out of the house and came to such a remote place. I was raised by myself in anonymity, running around to make money, and finally was buried in the wilderness with a convoy three years ago. Even the body was not found."]
[The cat-eared girl seemed to be venting her emotions. The overly heavy topic made the atmosphere in the room suddenly become extremely low.]
[Weier stopped talking, she sat quietly on the stool, just looking at you with her beautiful red eyes, with a look of reminiscence in her expression, as if she was trapped in a distant memory]
...
...
Red horn.
That year when it was snowing, the woman who sent little Aina to this gray stone street seemed to be an alienated patient with the red dragon factor, right?
Wei'er once saw with her own eyes that the woman's body was almost completely covered with red scales under her clothes. Pain and numbness were combined on the woman's face, fully explaining why it was better to live than to die.
The world will never be kind to people who have already suffered all kinds of hardships.
It will only push people step by step into the abyss of complete despair.
The woman begged all the residents on Greystone Street and knocked on door after door, hoping that they could raise Aina, but no one was willing to raise an unknown mop.
One more person means one more ration. If you have this ration to support other people's children, why not have one more child yourself?
In the end, Weier's mother agreed to the woman's request.
The woman knelt on the ground and thanked her profusely, taking out all her belongings. After she handed little Aina to her mother, she was enveloped in a fire that originated from herself.
Weier still remembers the smile of the woman in the flames. It should be a smile of relief and regret, right?
