The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Huh... um..."

"Hey! Didn't you agree that you and Alicia would accompany this girl to that orphanage? Why did you become me again!"

Qianjie kicked away the bricks at his feet. The bricks pulled out a straight line in the air and smashed through an abandoned house on the roadside.

"So...so awesome!" Xi'er covered her mouth with her hands, looking shocked.

Mikael rubbed her head and said sheepishly: "Because there was an abnormal Honkai energy reaction in Irus City, Ai Li and Hua rushed there overnight."

"Ha! Just the two of them? Why don't you go by yourself?"

"I have evaluated the intensity of the reaction. Ai Li is enough to solve the problem. As for Hua, it is just a matter of experience."

"cut!"

Qianjie lowered his head and searched for a long time, but couldn't find any bricks that he could take advantage of, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"What about Sakura, Mebius, and Velvet? Aren't they all alive?"

"All three of them are busy."

Mikael turned his face to the side without any trace.

"I'm the only one with nothing to do? What about that...cat?"

"She was not found."

"So I'm the only one free! Can't you bring her here by yourself!"

Mikael didn't explain any more, just silently holding Xi'er and continuing to move forward.

Qianjie calmed down his breathing and unknowingly fell two steps behind.

Looking at Mikael's somewhat thin back, he suddenly sneered:

"You shouldn't be... Humph!"

He didn't finish what he said, and Mikael didn't answer, leaving Xi'er at a loss, looking at Mikael, then at Qianjie, and then hesitantly holding Qianjie's hand.

"?"

Qianjie's whole body jumped, and he instinctively wanted to take out his hand and keep distance from her, but after meeting the girl's eyes as deep as the ocean, he just snorted and looked reluctant. Let the other party lead you.

So, when the only nun in the orphanage finished praying in the morning sunshine, she seemed to notice someone coming. She slowly opened her eyes and raised her head. She saw two men holding a man outside the iron gate. Girl stands.

"Um?"

Her dull eyes glanced at the irritable man wearing a mask. The man suddenly stiffened, let go of the girl's hand, and silently took half a step back.

Her eyes swept over the short-haired girl, with a hint of astonishment in her eyes.

And when she looked to the side, the moment her eyes met those silver-gray eyes, she seemed to see something extremely terrifying, and took several steps back.

Until Qianjie couldn't help but lightly kicked the iron gate...

"Uh... um, sorry, sorry, we will fix the door before we leave."

Mikael and Qianjie stood in front of Aponya holding half of the iron gate. When she saw her opening her mouth slightly, Mikael quickly apologized first.

"Ah...Actually, this pair of doors has been in disrepair for a long time. It's not your fault, but since you sincerely repent, the Lord will naturally not refuse..."

Before she could finish her words, Qianjie had already thrown the door to the ground.

"Duang!"

"oh!"

There was a neat exclamation from behind Aponya, and Mikael turned his head slightly. There was a group of pale, thin and weak children lying by the window of the orphanage, carefully looking at strangers.

Seeing Mikael's gaze, several little heads retracted with a "swish".

"Sigh... Sir, if you are dissatisfied with me, then there is no need to vent your anger on the innocent door. The door has not done anything wrong. Instead, you have to bear the responsibility for my unintentional fault and suffer from you. How can I deal with being treated roughly like this? Although the door is a dead thing, if it..."

"Um...um...Aponia!"

Mikael slapped his forehead and quickly held on to the furious Qianjie with Xier.

"Ah... Sir, how did you learn my name... Oh, is that so? I understand..."

Aponia's words to himself made even Mikael confused, let alone Qianjie.

No, Mother Aponia, what do you understand?

However, she did not waste time on Mikael and Qianjie. Instead, she looked at Xi'er with an expression of great pity: "Miss, do you want to come to the orphanage that was here before?"

"Ah! Yes! Wait, is this place now..."

"Haha, I'm sorry, this is... an orphanage."

"...Have the previous abbess and nuns left?"

Xi'er asked cautiously. She didn't quite understand the difference between the so-called "orphanage" and "orphan nursing home", but she did feel a certain difference——

In the orphanage, no matter how miserable everyone lived, laughter and laughter were indispensable... No, this is not lacking even now.

But at that time, the entire orphanage still carried something called "hope", unlike now...

Even though the morning sun was bright and bright, the chill in the air still stung people's hands and feet.

The entire sanatorium is just like the nun in front of me, elegant and holy...but a little too quiet, so quiet that it's sad, so quiet...

Even if it suddenly disappears in the next moment, no one will notice.

"The former dean and nuns..."

Aponya's voice floated in the air as softly as cicada wings.

"They have indeed left."

"What about...the children from before?"

Aponya shook his head, "They also...went away with it."

Seele may not understand the meaning of "leaving" and "going with", but Mikael held her hand and tightened it suddenly, which made her realize that their ending might not be the same as this nun. He spoke so calmly.

"Anyway, now that we are here...can we go in and see the children? This can be regarded as Xi'er's wish, right?"

"Um."

Xi'er lowered her head and held his arm with both hands, as if Mikael had become a kind of support for her at this moment - no, it was not limited to one person, all she needed was someone Reliance, nothing more.

But Mikael's reaction was even more violent. He pulled his hand out at an extremely fast speed, took a step back quickly, and touched his chest with lingering fear.

Xi'er's expression instantly turned gloomy.

But in just a moment, Mikael returned to her side. In Aponya's strange eyes, he knelt down, rubbed Xi'er's head, and forced a pain out of her painful expression. Smile:

"I'm sorry, Xi'er, I just reacted a bit... Anyway, let's go see those children. See them in the place where you once lived... It's like revisiting the old place."

His eyes flickered a little, and when he saw Xi'er nodded slightly, he wrinkled his nose and quickly looked away.

With his appearance, let alone Aponya and Xi'er, even the very nervous Qianjie noticed something was wrong.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?"

While Aponya was pulling Xi'er towards the depths, it was rare for a thousand calamities for him to say "care" to Mikael.

Mikael shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

If you know that you are destined to kill someone in the future, it would be unwise to get more involved with that person in the past.

However, that poor child is standing in front of me, how can I bear to cut everything off...

What's more, is it just the Sixth Herrscher?

Looking at the child's back, it seemed as if she had never been alone in Mikael's eyes.

And Himiko...even Alicia...and this era

"ah!"

Hearing Xi'er's exclamation, Mikael used his space power before Qianjie could react and suddenly appeared next to her.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Mikael's question was typed, he was answered in silence.

The children smiled hard, smiled sincerely, and welcomed the strangers who came to see them.

But the smile looked so weak on the pale face.

Fortunately, it was just pale.

But both Mikael and Xi'er understand it.

This unusually pale complexion often means...

I don’t know when purple lines will appear on my body.

"That...brother Mikael."

"……What's wrong?"

"Can I make a call? I know two doctors who used to treat people in our family... I suddenly ran away and I don't know... I want them to check the health of the children in the nursing home, okay? ?”

"Even a doctor might not dare to come to Dusk Street...Forget it, it's better than asking Mebius to come and check the child's health."

So Mikael handed the phone to Xier.

"Hey... I'm sorry, Xi'er knows that I was wrong... Dr. Farr, Dr. Su, can you guys... come to Twilight Street? There is a nursing home here with many sick children..."

"Su?"
