Chapter 499 I'll Use Them to Pay Off My Debts!

“It’s like this again… It’s like this again!”

Mei bit her lower lip tightly. Absurdity, ridiculousness, sadness, disgust, anger… Such emotions were churning and merging in her mind, and finally…

In the end, not even a bubble… The bubbles that should have boiled when boiling did not appear.

She hated Mikael for facing her with this attitude now, and she couldn’t understand how a person could still face her so gently after making so many mistakes.

If this happened to another completely unrelated person, Mei might feel hypocritical and feel that this behavior was simply disgusting, but this person happened to be Mikael…

More than two years, nearly three years, doesn’t sound like a long time. But how many three-year memories can a person leave in a short life?

They were familiar enough with each other, so familiar that Mei could easily judge that Mikael’s words were lies, and those words were completely from the heart. Of course, it is not impossible that Mikael was completely deceiving from the beginning and deliberately controlled his physiological reactions, but in daily interactions, from the small expressions of what he likes and dislikes to the small expressions of pacing anxiously at the door when the toilet seat is occupied by someone else, to the small expressions of swallowing his breath and encouraging Kiana after receiving an inappropriate answer in class... can these be faked perfectly and correspond to each other?

The tenderness that Mikael showed to her was not a disguise, but came from the heart. This is something that Meiyi could never understand or accept. Perhaps from some perspectives, this result is quite gratifying, but most of the time, it will give people a feeling of... the discomfort of swallowing excrement. The hatred that emerged in the heart will also be mixed with a deep sense of powerlessness, and in the end, it is not clear whether she still hates the other party.

Mikael remained silent, watching Meiyi hug her body with her arms, trembling constantly, and muttering something in her mouth.

But he remained silent and said nothing until Mei's trembling gradually subsided.

"Ah... I always feel like I passed on some bad habits to you..."

Mikael covered his forehead, and when Mei raised her face, he just reached out and tapped her forehead again.

"Don't always think too much by yourself, this is really not a good habit."

Mikael said it very seriously, but Mei just thought that he was warning herself not to do something he had always done, which always made her feel a little ridiculous.

However... soon her whole spirit was attracted by Mikael's next words--

"Anyway, it's a new day after all. Let's do something interesting, such as... meet Kiana?"

"!"

…………

"Ha-ha-ha-yawn!"

After stretching beautifully, Kiana's waist and abdomen muscles tightened and she jumped up directly from the floor.

"Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Hiss--"

These past few days, both the amount of exercise and the nutritional intake have been almost zero. Last night, I did a lot of work all at once, and my waist and back are sore, and even the beating of my heart is weaker than usual.

Of course, the most embarrassing thing is that the muscles on the right side of her lower back twitched when she jumped up. Whether as a Valkyrie or a Herrscher, or just as Kaslana, it is still embarrassing to have a muscle cramp due to a carp-like standing up action...

Especially because a certain annoying guy has been laughing in her mind-

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! How can there be a Herrscher with cramps in this world!"

"Shut up! You are the Herrscher! What does it have to do with me!"

"Hahaha! I am the consciousness of the Herrscher, then what are you? You don't think..."

"Okay, Xilin, if you don't want to fight with me again in Yu Duchen's illusion, you'd better restrain yourself."

"Hehe. If you have the ability to fight, would you remind me so politely? If you have the ability, come on! Besides, have you ever seen a Herrscher with cramps?"

Seeing that the verbal conflict in her mind has shifted from herself and the Herrscher to the Herrscher and the squad leader, Kiana is also having a headache. For the first time, she felt how bad her habitual quarreling had brought to others...

The eardrum was beating constantly, and her brain, which was not very smart, felt like someone was hitting her soft and pink brain with a mallet across her hard skull. It was not a comfortable experience.

However, the quarrel soon disappeared, and the whole world calmed down. The momentary gap made Kiana mistakenly think that she was deprived of hearing.

"I'm sorry, as you said, I don't have the ability to erase your consciousness now, but if I just want to make you speechless, I can still do it."

Hua Pingping's voice sounded in Kiana's mind. After the voice of the Herrscher disappeared, Kiana felt a lot more comfortable. Even if the class monitor spoke in her mind, she didn't feel the strong discomfort just now.

However... she seemed to have discovered something strange - since the class monitor had this ability from the beginning, why didn't he "mute" the Herrscher earlier? Was it to get the Herrscher's words? Or for some other reason?

Not every thought will yield results, and not every question must have an answer. For example, in Kiana's mind, doubts such as the above only existed at the moment they were raised, and then passed by in a flash.

Of course, this wasn't all her fault, because Hua spoke again.

However, just like the previous "Declaration of Victory", the person she spoke to was not Kiana, but the Second Herrscher who had been gagged and unable to speak.

"As for the Herrscher you mentioned who has cramps, I'm sorry, I have actually seen him, although someone else told me about his cramps."

"Ah? Who is it, monitor?"

The Second Herrscher couldn't make a sound, and it could only be Kiana who asked, but Hua didn't seem to be interested in answering. Anyway, Kiana didn't get any response.

She didn't take it to heart. No one stipulated that a person must answer other people's questions. Sometimes not answering is not simply conveying an attitude of alienation and dislike, at least that's how Kiana feels.

Of course, part of the reason is that there are more important things that prevent her from paying attention...

"Ah! Ah! Pado? Pado? Eh! Is it missing?"

The sofa in the room was empty, there was no girl with cat ears, and there was no sound between the toilet and the kitchen. If you faced this situation as soon as you woke up, it would be hard not to have the illusion of being "abandoned".

No, come to think of it, there is obviously a bed, so why are two people sleeping on the floor and one on the sofa?

Kiana couldn't help but raise her chin and think.

"Uh...well..."

Behind her came the vague murmurs when she woke up from a dream, which finally brought back Kiana's memory of last night.

"Uh...ah! I'm so sorry for causing trouble to you!"

The moment he woke up, he saw the familiar white-haired girl standing in the empty room. As an adult, Su Qing's first reaction was an extremely formulaic thank you.

"Hey! No trouble, no trouble!"

Kiana waved her hands repeatedly, but she didn't feel any "insincere" emotions. The so-called formulaic thanks and politeness did not necessarily mean that they were not true feelings. If you really want to say it, thank you itself is a very formulaic word. What? But apart from that, it is difficult and completely unnecessary for humans to come up with a more complex word to replace "thank you" to express the emotion of gratitude.

Su Qing got out of bed carefully, looked at her daughter who was still sleeping, and then at the white-haired girl who looked a little embarrassed and at a loss because she woke up... She swallowed her saliva gently as the critical point of decision. She patted her daughter, and while waking her daughter up, she thanked Kiana:

"Thank you very much for what happened last night, girl, and thank you for taking in our mother and daughter last night. We have nothing to repay for the time being... So... Then... I won't cause you any trouble?"

"Ah...ah...ok."

Su Qing didn't even bother to wash up, and just dragged her daughter, who was still awake, out of the rental house. Kiana seemed a little confused about this behavior. She wanted to ask the squad leader, but the other party seemed to be determined to remain silent. When she didn't want to speak, no one could make her speak.

Su Qing hurriedly left the apartment building with her daughter. Before walking out of the building, she saw several bags of fresh milk placed on the Eight Immortals table in front of the skinny old man. She woke up early in the morning when her mouth was dry, and there was still something in her mouth. There was an unpleasant rancid smell, and she regretted why she didn't take a few sips of tap water before leaving.

Water is fine, as long as it is a cold liquid, not to mention that milk is good for the child's development... But her eyes only stayed for a moment longer, and soon she pulled her daughter directly out of the apartment building.

After taking two more steps, she stopped unconsciously.

It's not that she and her daughter don't have a place to live. In fact, it's not far from here. The conditions are worse than the rental house just now, but the conditions are pretty good. By the standards of her own youth, this kind of life is close to struggling on the poverty line, but for at least half of the people in the slums and buffer zones, there is a place to live, a place where they can take a shower and cook. The accommodation is already in very good condition!

So... there was no need for her to "just spend one night" here at the invitation of the white-haired girl last night.

Therefore, it makes sense to do this.

She looked back at the number at the door of the apartment building, recalled the floor and house number twice, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

She just stood in the middle of the deserted road, took out a cell phone shakily from her pocket, and pressed and held the power button.

It's just the time it takes for a mobile phone to be turned on, but... it's so long... It seems like the wind has washed this street from beginning to end more than ten times, and the only change on the screen of the mobile phone is that there is a faint layer of white light on the pitch black. , Su Qing stared at the dark screen, which reflected her own face that was neither beautiful nor ugly.

Fortunately, I'm not too old yet...

There happens to be a small area on the right side of the road... which may have been a park ten years ago. The rusty seesaw seems to have been touched not long ago. Now it keeps making "squeaking" noises under the slightly cold morning breeze. , like a sharp roar coming from the throat of some kind of beast, it is difficult not to arouse uneasiness in people's hearts.

The girl seemed to sense something was wrong in the atmosphere and wanted to break away from her mother's hand and say something, but what she got was a suffocating hug.

Is her daughter twelve years old this year... or thirteen? Life has been so bad recently that she can't even remember whether Xiaobai's thirteenth birthday has come. A girl of this age is already a big child. Su Qing can easily hug her without leaning over. Just touching the cigarette burns on the back of her neck...

"Xiaobai... don't talk... please don't talk..."

Why?

"Gululu--"

Under the harsh sound of swallowing saliva, the screen of the mobile phone finally lit up with a dazzling light.

Seeing her daughter's confusion and her serious gaze, Su Qing's lips pushed upwards.

She covered her daughter's head with her hands and wanted to say something, but in the end she cast her eyes on the mobile phone desktop after it was turned on.

The unlocking action was done in one go, but it took a few seconds to connect to the network. Fortunately, the battery of the mobile phone was still more than 20%.

Nearly ten seconds later, the woman trembled and opened the browser of the mobile phone, found the browsing history from a few days ago, and opened it again.

[Joint Wanted Order of Tianming×Taixu]

[The photo of the white-haired, blue-eyed Valkyrie pouting her lips doesn't look like an ID photo.jpg]

[Qiana Kaslana, female, European descent, born on December 7, 1998, former B-level Valkyrie of Tianming Far East Branch]

[Wanted Level: S-level, Note: This Valkyrie is suspected of stealing experimental weapons that Tianming is developing, and her combat power is extremely strong. Citizens only need to provide clues about her whereabouts to the local government, and avoid contact with her]

[Reward amount: The bounty is jointly borne by Tianming and Shenzhou, and the total reward pool is 104,514,000. Each confirmed valid clue will be rewarded with 10,000, 30,000, 50,000, 100,000 according to the importance. Those who provide clues that lead to her arrest will be rewarded with 10,000,000 and all the remaining bounties in the reward pool]

Reward 10 million! Add the remaining in the reward pool...how much will be left? Su Qing quickly flipped to the time when the wanted order was issued. Four days ago, the wanted order was issued four days ago. Although generally speaking, the more serious the criminals are, the faster they are arrested, and four days is not a short time, but Su Qing remembered that the rental house was fully equipped and had been there for at least two or three days... The money in the prize pool might not have been touched!

104514000+10000000=114514000!

Originally... Originally, I planned to flee the city overnight yesterday... But...

This money... is enough to buy a spacious house in the center of Tianqiong City, and then let my daughter live a life without worries... No, such a large amount, even the 10 million bonus is enough... Even if it is any of the four levels of clue bonus, it is enough!

As long as we go to the city hall now...

"Xiaobai... Mom has found a way to make money. We will be able to pay off the money soon, and then we will live in the city center, okay?"

The girl tilted her head, her thoughts stagnated for half a minute, and she seemed to understand what her mother was saying belatedly.

Suddenly she laughed, and then burst into tears.

The mother and daughter hugged each other in the street, laughing and crying together.

No, there was no one else on the street.

At least there was no "human",

But soon, Su Qing heard her daughter whisper something in her ear:

"Mom... When we have money, should we buy some gifts to thank that sister?"

"..."

The silence lasted for a long time. Xiaobai didn't understand what he said wrong, so he didn't dare to ask.

He glanced quickly, and most of his mother's face was hidden under her bangs, and he couldn't see it clearly.

After a long time, Su Qing raised his head, and his smile was weak and miserable.

"Forget it... First..."

Go...

"Forget it, let's go home first."

Su Qing was still smiling and holding her daughter's hand.

The cat-eared girl stood in the alley on the right side of the mother and daughter without any concealment, but did not attract any attention.

Half an hour later, Su Qing took her daughter back to the "home" they were originally going to leave.

She found the discarded key by the flower bed and tiptoed upstairs. The guy should not be at home during the day... There is still a day to find a solution.

But when she turned the door lock and pushed open the door, a strong smell of smoke floated out through the crack of the door.

Although her consciousness had sensed something was wrong, her body did not react, and she continued to push the door open...

In response to her, a dozen men suddenly turned their heads, a man's broken hand and blood on the ground under the coffee table, and the hoarse voice shouting:

"They are back! I will use them to fight! ! ! ! "

Su Qing finally reacted. She pushed Xiaobai and tried to escape from this place frantically, but she felt a pain behind her head. Someone grabbed her hair, and then she lost her balance and fell directly to the ground.

Before she died, she pushed her daughter hard, but a cup brushed her hair and hit Xiaobai's back of the head.

Amid the shrill screams, the man grabbed the girl's ankles and dragged her back to the room.

"Bang!"

The door closed.
