"Oh, you and Kallen are not going to have a family in the future? A lifetime is only applicable in one situation, and that is that it is too short and I will become a hindrance sooner or later." no, I can not. Otto looked at the man beside him who had never been sensitive, and only responded with a slightly smug smile. At this time, Karen walked into the store with two large bags of fruit and walked up to the two of them with a silly smile on her face. Then he easily distributed the fruit bags that were as high as his waist to them. After doing all this, Karen did not return to her seat. Instead, she gently waved Lu Mian's arm and asked coquettishly: "Hehe~, how am I doing?" "It's pretty good," Lu Mian felt the soft touch through the clothes, with only helplessness on his face, "But didn't I tell you that this kind of action is best not to appear on the opposite sex who are not close enough." "Yeah, so I only did it to my father and you~" Or maybe Karen isn't completely stupid. As soon as these words came out, the helplessness on Lu Mian's face disappeared completely.
When he thought that such a good and beautiful girl was raised by him, he inexplicably felt a sense of joy of harvest. Naturally, I can no longer care about what's helpless. Otto: ??? Otto looked at the extremely harmonious scene in front of him, and the little pride he had before had disappeared without a trace. Now he wanted to travel through time and strangle his childhood self who had decided to dress up as a man... [The wheel of time rolls on as usual, stirring up a little dust, but it is a huge change that humans cannot imagine. ] [In 1470, Pandora's Box caused by the collapse quietly opened in Europe, sweeping across Europe in the form of the "Black Death" and claiming the lives of a large number of people.] 【Natural disasters wreak havoc, and people suffer. 】 [Karen couldn't bear to see this happen, but she was powerless to change anything.] [The smile on her face no longer existed, and was replaced by a sadness that could not be dispelled.] [You are not a sad person, but every time you see her like this, you always feel sad.] 【Perhaps people are always contradictory. 】 [In the past, you always hoped that Karen could grow up and have more thoughts of her own. ] [But right now, you inexplicably miss her smile...] The night was dark, like an abyss that swallowed up all the sorrow and misery visible to the light, leaving no trace. The autumn wind is whistling, but it cannot blow away the sorrow and sadness. In front of the window, a blond young man was lying on the desk with a depressed look on his face, fiddling with the airplane model on the table from time to time. The black-haired young man was sitting next to him. He seemed to be as young as him, but he always had a hint of maturity from the years. At this moment, he was looking up at the starry sky outside the window with a melancholy look on his face. "...I...don't want to see Karin so sad anymore..." Otto said as he glanced at Lu Mian who was looking at the stars.
As to whether he didn't want to see Karin sad or couldn't bear to see Lu Mian sad with Karin, even he himself didn't know. Lu Mian stopped looking at the starry sky, hid his bad mood, and turned to look at Otto, motioning him to continue. At this moment, Otto, who was no longer a helpless child, seemed to have turned back into his former self, cowardly and hesitant. "If I can solve the Black Death... I have privately taken in a group of patients infected with the Black Death. They will die sooner or later. If I can..." "Go on." "If I can develop a special medicine to fight the Black Death with their help, then all problems will be solved." After he finished speaking, Otto avoided looking at Lu Mian again, but he couldn't help but look back to secretly observe the latter's expression. But Lu Mian narrowed his eyes and showed his usual gentle smile. The lights flickered gently, making it difficult to distinguish between the light and the moonlight. ——He slowly raised his hand. Seeing this, Otto subconsciously held his breath. For more than ten years, it was this big hand that pulled him up and grew up, hugged him, held him, held his hand and gently stroked him. Now it seems that the "big hand" in my memory is not as broad as I imagined. No, he has grown up... Are you going to get beaten? Otto guessed this, but he still did not dodge or evade, as if he was ready to face anything. However, he guessed wrong after all. The next second, her hand fell on his head and rubbed it gently. "......" Feeling the long-lost warmth and caress, Otto's emerald eyes moved, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes, and he was speechless for a moment. He pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but only came out with a few half-true and half-false sounds. After many years, the child has grown into a young man, and the young man has also taken on the warm "responsibility" that cannot be removed and has become a real man. The changes should be earth-shaking. But now it seems that nothing has changed. 【After listening to Otto's thoughts, you smiled. 】 [He has his own ideas, but he will still consider your opinions before implementing them.] [Is there anything more worthy of your comfort and joy than this? ] [You are still smiling while touching Otto's head.] [But this smile is full of powerlessness and helplessness. ]
[The Black Death and human experiments were a major turning point in the life of the "fool" in your impression, and also a sin that he could not wash away.] 【Drugs developed through human experiments can greatly curb the Black Death that ravaged Europe.】 [Sacrifice a small number of people in exchange for the survival of the vast majority. 】 [This may be the most correct choice, but it is by no means just. ] [You have done a lot of things just to completely separate the Otto beside you from the "Fool" in your memory, so naturally you cannot accept this kind of thing.] So, what other options are there? [How can we break the fate that is so complicated? 】 Chapter 4: Chasing Light (5/) [It is undoubtedly evil to use others for human experiments. No matter how high-sounding it is, it is never justified.] [Apart from human experiments, are there any other options? ] [You don't have the ability to make elixirs with just your hands, and Karen knows nothing about medicine. ] [Perhaps, there is a way in the treasure house of knowledge in the void? ] [The term "collapse disease" is mentioned in the treasure trove of pre-civilization knowledge, but this disease is different from the Black Death. 】 [The Black Death is ultimately a form of Honkai outbreak, and different forms must have different solutions. 】 [Using the detailed description of the Collapse Disease to find a cure for the Black Death is nothing but a castle in the air. 】 [It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just that the most critical practice is missing. ] 【And that practice is human experimentation. 】 【Perhaps, use your own abilities? 】 [No, it can’t.] [No matter how magical the ability of the Void Ten Thousand Treasures is, it will not help. 】 [If you fail to save even one-tenth of the people, all your remaining time will be burned out.] [After much thought, perhaps the only way to solve the Black Death is to let Otto conduct human experiments. ] 【...】 [Is there really no other way? ] 【Do you want to see the "white wall" splashed with indelible ink spots? 】 [There is probably a way. ] Lu Mian chuckled and stared at Otto, becoming more gentle. "I'm glad that you can have your own thoughts and decisions, and consider my opinion before doing that. But I don't agree with you using others for human experiments." Hearing this, Otto was not surprised at all. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
No one knew how much inner torment he went through from the time he made the decision to the time he confessed to Lu Mian. [Otto looks at you with great trust, his expression relaxed.] [He thought you could still solve problems with a smile like before. ] [But I didn't expect you to say something that made him unbelievable with a smile. ] "I have a special physique and nothing will happen to me. You can use me for experiments." "...?" Lu Mian was still smiling. But when Otto looked at the smile in front of him that should have been warm, he felt it was so dazzling. He silently took off the hand that was stroking his hair, put his hands together and held it in his palms. His trembling hands were barely able to hold that hand completely, with veins bulging out. ——As if using actions to demonstrate the huge waves in its owner's heart, and as if he was afraid that the hand in his palm would suddenly disappear. The dim light from the flickering lights penetrated into Otto's green eyes, reflecting two completely different emotions: indifference and madness. "Even if all those people outside died," his voice suddenly became hoarse and shrill, and after a pause it returned to normal, "it would not be worth even one thousandth or one ten-thousandth of your body." Let me ask you, when do people feel most out of control and embarrassed? Maybe it's when your body is out of control, your lips are chattering with your teeth, but you still have to pretend to be calm. In the end, Otto couldn't control his emotions that were on the verge of collapse, and he completely lost control. The aura that had been suppressed by him for more than ten years surged out from his slender body and poured onto Lu Mian. [The flawless bishop who came later naturally also took note of this scene.] [It’s not because he’s embarrassed or out of control, but because at this moment he still has people protecting him and comforting him, so no matter how embarrassed he is, it’s not that embarrassing.] Lu Mian was not surprised by Otto's loss of control, nor was he surprised by his current state. Because he knew that there was always a lion in Otto's heart. Because he knew that sooner or later Otto would stand at a height that he could never imagine. But until then, Otto still needs his care. Lu Mian ignored the hand that was tightly held and stretched out his other free hand. She gently tidied Otto's messy hair and calmed him down. [The front is tight, the back is tight, we generally call this kind of people born as a son of a bitch. ] 【Those who are willing to take the lead for a common ideal are always called: comrades. 】 [Similarly, using others for human experiments is undoubtedly evil, but what if you can use "yourself" for human experiments to fight against disasters? ]
[This is a great sacrifice that is only worthy of being passed down in heroic epics and ancient legends.] [You are not a saint, and you may not even be considered a good person in the traditional sense.] [You don’t want to be kind, and you have no interest in saving a bunch of strangers.] [In fact, you in the original world are being eroded by the Honkai, and your days are numbered; you in this world still have to take care of Otto and Kallen.] 【You are the one who needs help from others. 】
