The 'cozy' daily work life of a witch lady in a cyberpunk interstellar era, occasionally also a passionate epic.
She is a timid girl growing up in a cyberpunk city.
She is a cry...
Chapter 202 The Dawn of the Coming World
'Lebion, the current population is estimated to be between 280,000 and 330,000, located at 47.3° north latitude and east longitude...'
Sitting in the underground shelter, the black-haired Tilan tapped on the projected keyboard, querying the data, and then slowly analyzing it.
'The population of Lebion is far less than that of the former Jielou City. The members directly under the two forces account for one-tenth, and with some peripheral and well-connected personnel, it is estimated that each side has 40,000 to 50,000 people, which also occupies a large part of the population of Lebion. 'She thought slowly.
If you want to quell the war, you have to defeat the main forces of both sides, but it is obvious that they don't have such ability now. If it were me... The girl opened her palm and looked at the blue crystals that kept gathering and changing in it, and her mind turned. It
's still too risky. She shook her head. If she fought with all her strength, she wouldn't be able to take care of her companions.
But if it goes on like this, if the two sides really fight to a conclusion, it is estimated that this city will be half destroyed, and countless people will be killed and injured.
Although she is not the kind of saint who has too much kindness to vent, she still feels a little reluctant to stand by and watch.
Let's think of a way. She rubbed her temples to calm the slight worries in her mind.
"Do you have a headache?" A familiar voice came from behind, and then a pair of hands gently placed on the girl's ears and rubbed them.
"Dolores." Tilan turned around and looked at her companion who had woken up.
"I woke up and saw you sitting here, looking distressed about something, so I came over." She said very naturally, leaning on Tilan as if it was natural.
"I am a little troubled. I always feel that it is not good to let them fight, but if I interfere, it would be irresponsible to everyone." The girl said what she thought in her heart.
"Tilan...you are too kind-hearted." Although Dolores liked the simple and lovely Tilan, she shook her head when she saw her distressed about such things.
"Maybe your intention is good, but some people may not appreciate it and may even regard you as an enemy with ulterior motives."
"I know, I understand their thoughts." How could the girl not know this in her heart? She had experienced this before in Arpeggio City and had seen many such things.
Not everyone understands that if you do good things for no reason, it will only lead to suspicion and disgust, because this is something that cannot exist in their values. They would rather believe that everyone is selfish than believe that someone will sincerely help them. This is not to say that it is completely wrong, because there are indeed many people who do bad things in the name of doing good things, such as some cults and sales, who always come to you in the name of doing good things.
"Goodwill is worn away just like that, but that's not why I agree with their behavior."
"Although I will choose to watch out of self-preservation and caution, it doesn't mean that I agree that this behavior is right, worthy of praise and advocacy."
"There are many helpless and powerless things in life. Many people practice the extraordinary sequence and gain power to change this helpless situation."
"But if you have the power to change, but still choose the helpless result, then what's the point of practicing hard to gain power? I think it will only be boring. People always yearn for freedom and willfulness."
"So, you, the bird, feel that your wings are hard and you want to fly, right?" Dolores couldn't help but chuckled.
"Well, I don't know what kind of strength Tilan has, but if you really want to do something, I will cheer and support you behind you, instead of blindly opposing it."
"Thank you Dolores." After communicating with her best friend, the girl's mood unconsciously became much better.
Not long after, Red Hat, Sherian, and Gu Luo also returned to the underground.
"There's a war going on up there, and there's gunfire going on in the streets. It probably won't be quiet until night," Sherian reported.
"Then let's go out at night." Tilan suggested.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Jin Senke was a little puzzled. Logically, if we waited a few more days, maybe the war would be over.
"It would be better to leave while the chaos is going on. Neither side would pay attention to such a small matter." The girl shook her head. She actually had another plan.
"Then let's do it." Seeing that Tilan had made up her mind, the others no longer objected. For them, leaving early or late did not make much difference.
In the evening, the ground gradually entered dusk. After a day of fierce fighting, the passion of both sides also cooled down a little. The injuries of companions and teammates made people calm down a little about the war and think about the accidents they might face.
Standing on the rooftop of a high-rise building under the setting sun, the girl overlooked the city full of ruins and debris, the huge dome with only skeletons in the distance, the collapsed high-rise buildings, the lonely abandoned crane towers, and the buildings that were once half-built and abandoned.
Footsteps came from the corridor entrance in a corner of the rooftop, and then a short but mature-looking man slowly walked out.
"Do you have something to talk to me?" He was told that the black-haired girl had something to discuss with him.
"Yes." Under the setting sun, the girl turned around, her dark blue dress and black hair were also shrouded in the golden afterglow, looking somewhat nostalgic and mature for her age.
"Mr. Red Hat, can you tell me about your past?" Her voice was gentle, as if she was chatting with an old friend.
This scene made Red Hat quite uncomfortable, but in the face of the girl's words, he unconsciously relaxed and was willing to believe that she had no ill intentions.
It was really strange that even evil people liked to get along with people with good intentions.
"My past? What's there to talk about?" He shook his head and looked aside.
"I grew up in this city and led a humble life. Every day I thought about making money and living a comfortable and carefree life. It would be great if I could be the boss, so that I wouldn't have to
work so hard every day." "I used to be a sentinel, but I always got the least when everyone distributed things. Later, I wanted to do some work, but because I was too short and had a bad image, I was always excluded. I had no choice but to find other jobs for myself. I stole things, coerced, blackmailed, and did all kinds of bad things. If you think I'm a good person who can be saved, then give up."
"No, I don't mean to blame Mr. Red Hat." The girl shook her head.
"It's hard to live at the bottom of society. Sometimes, there are many reasons to survive. I don't want to say anything too glorious. If I'm really hungry and about to pass out, I'll probably steal something." "
But yesterday's suffering can't be a reason for today's crime."
"If there is a chance in the future, Mr. Red Hat can make a living and live a stable and good life, can you change your past mistakes?"
"Haha, that's really funny. Do you think you can change just by saying so? Do I have the choice? Is there such an environment that allows me to maintain such a life? Stop talking in your sleep. You kids are really naive..." He shook his head and prepared to leave, but the voice behind him stopped him.
"What if I say I can do it?" The voice seemed to have magic. It was so soft, but it was deeply engraved in the mind, making the whole body freeze, as if only this voice was echoing in the mind, shaking the soul.
The originally rough and dusty rooftop surface instantly turned into the smoothest mirror in the world, reflecting the entire sunset sky, as if the beautiful purple-red burning clouds were right below me and I was walking in the sky.
Suddenly I looked back, and that figure was standing in the evening breeze of the sunset, her black hair flying, her hands spread out, and transparent crystals quietly floating beside her, refracting the sunset light into a colorful appearance, dreamy and beautiful, like the sunset glow.
