"Oh, is that so?"
Bronya was somewhat surprised that her thoughts could be seen through so easily, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed:
"Thank you for telling Bronya these things, Mr. Yun..."
"fine."
"Bronya has no intention of asking about you, but I am a little worried..."
"Well, I know the source of your worry."
Jinyun reached out his hand and gently rubbed Bronya's soft silver hair as usual:
"You will be safe here, don't worry, I will protect you."
"......Um."
Protect yourself. When these words come from a disabled person, they are not convincing at all.
But, for some reason, as long as Mr. Yun said it, Bronya would believe it without reservation.
At the same time, she also secretly swore in her heart:
[I will definitely protect you, Mr. Yun]
[Even if it costs me my life...]
After dinner, Bronya cleared the table and put the dishes in the sink to wash.
Jinyun turned on the TV and watched the latest TV programs.
This is a very simple black and white TV. The screen is only the size of a laptop and the pixels are not very clear.
When Bronya came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, the TV was showing a scene of a lake.
"Is that the sea?"
Bronya stared at the TV with her eyes fixed, and couldn't help but ask this question.
Jinyun replied: "No, the TV is showing Lake Baikal."
"Ah, it's that place, the scenery is very nice, Bronya has been there before..."
As soon as the words came out, Bronya couldn't help but be stunned.
The scenery is nice... Am I the kind of person who would say something like that?
Living in such a cruel world, how could she have the time to care about the so-called beautiful scenery shown on TV.
Moreover, the fact that I have been there before is also based on a bloody mission...
Fortunately, Jinyun did not ask further questions, but nodded with a smile, a hint of envy in his eyes:
"Ah, that's really good. Now that place has become polluted due to the impact of Honkai. If I had known earlier, I should have stopped working a few years ago and went there to take a look."
"Um......"
"But if I really want to talk about it... Bronya, have you ever been to the beach?"
"Oh, I have been there."
When asked this question, Bronya blurted out the answer without thinking.
Then, there is uneasiness and worry.
Because that trip to the seaside can't be called a good memory.
But, despite this, Jinyun still showed envy after hearing his own answer:
"Yes, the sea."
"...Mr. Yun, haven't you ever been to the sea?"
Jinyun shook his head helplessly: "When I could go before, I didn't have much time to go. Now I have more time, but no chance."
Bronya keenly caught the loneliness that flashed in the other person's eyes. She felt her heart tighten and asked hurriedly:
"Why, why?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Jinyun tapped his artificial limb with his cane in a joking manner and said:
"It's inconvenient to go anywhere with such a leg, right? The sea is far away from here, and it's not safe outside the city. Wastelanders, Honkai beasts, and all kinds of threats are flooding this land. Danger is everywhere."
"Bronya will protect Mr. Yun!"
Bronya suddenly raised her voice, her delicate face showing unprecedented determination:
"If Mr. Yun wants to see the sea, Bronya will accompany you! Let me be your legs, even if it means carrying you on my back, Bronya will carry you to the beach!"
Jinyun's lonely eyes were filled with surprise and joy. Even though Bronya in front of him was just a game character, her expression was so serious and her voice was so full of determination.
It was as if a real person had really made a promise to himself.
"I'm very happy that you have this thought," Jinyun smiled and shook his head, "but, it's unlikely that we can see the sea."
"Why, why?"
“Because, both the Kara Sea in the north and the Pacific Ocean at the end of the continent in the east have been invaded by the Honkai.
Now, it is difficult to see the pure, blue sea like before, probably..."
Bronya bit her lower lip, her dark brows slightly wrinkled with worry.
Not long after, she spoke again: "There will definitely be such a day, Mr. Yun!"
"what?"
"Humanity will surely defeat the Honkai! The ocean will also be purified! When that day comes, Bronya will definitely take you to see the ocean, the unpolluted, blue ocean!"
"..."
Jinyun felt a little guilty.
After all, this was just a game, and everything he showed Bronya was an illusion.
But the child took it seriously. She engraved every word she said firmly in her mind.
This crappy game, why do I feel more and more ashamed the more I play it...
Unfortunately, the background story of the game was imported from the original work, and the underlying logic was fixed, so even I couldn't modify it.
What's more, he has already decided what kind of life he wants Bronya to live. He will let Bronya grow up and eventually get rid of her dependence on anyone.
So, there is acceptance here.
"Well, let's make a deal then." Jinyun smiled and held out his right little finger, "Do you want to make a pinky promise?"
"Hook?"
"Bronya, don't you know how to make a pinky promise?"
"No, I know."
Bronya's eyes dimmed and her voice dropped to a low tone, but she regained her spirits the next second.
She also stretched out her right hand and hooked her little finger with Jinyun's little finger.
"Then follow my lead."
"Ah."
"Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years..."
"Whoever becomes a puppy will never see you again."
Chapter 26 I changed my mind (3/5)
The next morning, Bronya got up early as usual and prepared breakfast for Jinyun.
Just as I was mashing the cooked potatoes into a paste, I heard the door of the wooden house being unlocked.
She hurriedly put down the work in her hands, walked out of the kitchen and looked towards the direction of the door.
Jinyun was standing at the entrance changing his shoes. When he saw Bronya, he smiled and said:
"Ah, Bronya, I have to go out for a while."
"Do you want to go out now? The snow outside is getting heavier. Please let Bronya hold an umbrella for you!"
"No, I'll just wear my hat. You don't have to wait for me for dinner, just eat it yourself."
"Oh, okay, okay..."
There was a look of disappointment in Bronya's eyes. She walked to the door and watched Jinyun leave.
Then she closed the door and returned to the empty house.
The room was unusually quiet. Without Jinyun's company, it seemed as if she was the only one left in the world.
I seem to have never been so dependent on someone as I am now...
-
Gorvik, East Side, slums.
This is a long-abandoned building. The snow-covered exterior walls are mottled and dilapidated, with exposed bricks and stones, and some places have even collapsed.
The windows were broken and the rotten curtains fluttered in the wind. The deep darkness behind the curtains exuded a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.
The door outside the building was closed and covered with rust, as if telling the traces of time.
In a basement inside the building, a group of mysterious men in suits are gathering.
The leader was a man dressed as an officer. He was tall and strong, with a hideous scar on his face.
At this moment, he was standing among the group of mysterious men in suits, with his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes closed, and his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out.
Suddenly, a man in combat uniform walked out from the shadows and whispered something into the man's ear.
The man nodded and gave orders with his eyes.
Except for two women in suits carrying briefcases, everyone quickly retreated and hid in the shadows.
Each of these people is an elite assassin secretly trained by the organization. They have occupied the building and have ambushes everywhere, leaving no blind spots.
The leading officer frowned, waiting for the arrival of his trading partner.
Ural Silver Wolf...
This elite assassin trained by the organization had carried out many impossible assassination missions when he was only in his early teens.
Thirteen high-ranking military officers had died at his hands. Until the target's body was found, the guards had no idea how he had sneaked in.
Such a terrible guy defected.
She has too many secrets that cannot be revealed to others. If these secrets were to leak out, not only would her life be in danger, but the entire organization would suffer serious losses.
Ural Silver Wolf, her existence is a huge threat, and the organization will never allow her to continue to survive in the world.
Therefore, it must be dealt with as soon as possible!
However, none of the trackers sent by the organization have appeared on the secret channel since they reported their progress.
They seemed to have been wiped out by some harsh means, and no trace could be found.
Silver Wolf was so badly injured that there was no way he could survive the encirclement of the hunters.
Therefore, there must be someone helping her secretly!
After making this guess, I, who was in charge of executing the hunting plan, received a message from a mysterious person.
The guy confessed the news of his cooperation with the Ural Silver Wolf and promised that he would tell him the other party's location as long as his conditions were met.
His condition was that the organization be required to provide a research progress report and related information on Honkai Disease.
Collapse disease?
That guy is a doctor?
Apart from the three major organizations, is there anyone who is interested in such a thankless task as researching a drug to treat Honkai disease?
