Immortal Soul of Steel

"Well, please give me your advice, Mr. Mist Rex."

Akito Akito's courtesy made Mist smile kindly.

"Hey, just call me Mist, no need to be so polite."

"Speaking of which, Akito, why did you get on this ship?"

Akito Tianhe helped Mist pick up the fruits and vegetables on the ground, and walked to the Caesar with Mist.

"Originally, I planned to come here to join my relatives, but because of the dimensional beast invasion last year, I lost contact with my relatives."

"In order to survive, I had to find a job as a chef."

"But you also know how fierce the competition for jobs in the Silla Alliance is now. There are almost no people looking for young chefs like me."

“After I submitted countless resumes, I was finally selected here.”

Mist showed an empathic expression: "In order to have enough food to survive? Well, I can understand this feeling very well."

"In order to have enough food to survive, I looked for jobs everywhere, and finally I was assigned here."

Hearing that Mist's situation was similar to his own, Akito Tianhe looked at the nearby Caesar and sighed.

"Although it is for life, it is a last resort."

"But this Caesar is a ship that is definitely going to Mars."

"Mars has lost contact with Aquamarine for decades. No one knows what the situation is now."

"Besides, there are dimensional beasts in the universe, and the journey to Mars is doomed to be full of dangers. One of them might die on the way to Mars."

"Obviously I chose such a dangerous path just to survive. I don't know if this is right or wrong."

Mist hugged the box and looked melancholy.

"There is no right or wrong. We are all forced to make choices in order to survive."

"If we don't come here to apply for jobs, we won't even be able to get enough money to eat. Sooner or later we will starve to death on this land."

"In order to survive, even if the Caesar's journey to Mars is very dangerous, we can only choose to follow the Caesar to Mars."

"Either starve to death now, or live a few more days and die in the universe. In fact, it's almost the same."

"Unless we are willing to put down our morality and conscience and become robbers, thieves and other criminals. Otherwise, this is our only choice at the moment."

Tianhe Mingren was deeply touched after hearing this.

"Well, you're right, we have no choice."

"I didn't realize it before, but now I really feel less tired when I use the book."

"If I had learned more skills before, I wouldn't have to choose this first path now."

Mist was stunned for a moment, then murmured: "When the book comes to use, will you hate it...?"

Mist's eyes were a little red as he remembered something.

Akito Tianhe asked with concern as if he noticed Mist's red eyes.

"Mist, what's wrong?"

Mist shook his head and replied: "Nothing, I just suddenly felt deeply about this sentence and remembered some things from the past."

"I used to be like this too. I didn't pay attention to studying at all. I thought I was already very powerful and could protect the people around me."

"As a result, when I faced real danger, I discovered how arrogant and ignorant I was in the past."

"In the face of the threat of death, let alone protecting others, it is difficult to even protect myself."

"I am able to survive until now only because of the protection of others."

"If I had read more books, learned more useful knowledge, and become stronger, things wouldn't be like this..."

Listening to Mist's slightly choked words, Akito Tianhe did not agree.

Tianhe Mingren can understand these words and understand them very well.

After experiencing the invasion of dimensional beasts last year, he woke up from the superficial peace again and walked in the face of death.

Countless people, like Mist, came back from the illusory peace.

Then I looked at everything I had lost, cried bitterly, and regretted it endlessly.

The invasion of dimensional beasts has brought too much pain, pain and sorrow to countless people on this land.

The streets are full of regretful people like Mist.

After seeing many people, Tianhe Mingren also understood that what he wanted to do at this time was not to be a persuader.

In fact, the persuasion from others at this time is of no use at all.

What he has to do now is to be a silent listener and let Mist express all the regret and pain in his heart.

In this way, at least people like Mist can feel less stressed and feel better.

"Sorry, I lost my temper a little."

Mist recovered quickly. In less than 10 seconds, he came out of his previous sadness and regret, which surprised Akito Tianhe.

‘Mist is so strong. The adults I met before wanted to get out of this kind of emotion, but they couldn’t do it in ten days and a half. ’

‘Is it because this isn’t the first time for Mist? ’

Thinking about this, Akito Tianhe smiled softly and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, I was like this before. In this world, everyone is the same."

Hearing this, Mist also smiled: "Yes, in this world, it's the same everywhere... Wow~!"

A sudden shock caused Mist to stumble and almost fall again. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped leaning forward.

But Akito Tianhe was not so lucky. He sat down directly on the ground, his teeth bared from the fall.

Before the two of them could react, huge explosions came from outside.

In an instant, the alarm bell rang loudly throughout the dock.

"What's wrong? What happened? Did the dimensional beast appear again?"

When he heard the alarm bell ringing, Akito Tianhe ignored the pain in his buttocks, quickly got up and asked the staff running around him.

The staff looked anxious: "It's not the dimensional beasts, it's the "arsonists" mercenaries! "

"Those guys opened fire on us in order to seize the Caesar."

"Don't be stunned, please take shelter as soon as possible."

"The arsonists are not human beings at all. Killing them all, burning them all, and robbing them all is their main purpose."

"Once discovered by them, it's impossible to survive. Run quickly!"

The staff ran away, and Akito Tianhe froze on the spot: "It's not a dimensional beast, it's a human!?"

Mist reacted faster, quickly threw away the box in his hand, and said to Akito Tianhe.

"Akito, board the ship quickly. Only by hiding in the Caesar can we be considered safe."

Looking at Mist who ran out of the dock despite persuading him in this way, Akito Tianhe shouted anxiously.

"Mist, where are you going!?"

Mist gritted his teeth and replied: "I'm going to teach these scumbags a lesson for taking advantage of others in times of crisis!"
