The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Okay, as I said above, this matter cannot be spread for the time being, so you two need to sign a confidentiality agreement. Of course, as compensation, we will give you a generous reward. Yes. , you can interpret it as hush money, whatever you want, as long as you don’t let us find out that you are spreading information about this matter.”

The small airtight room was filled with clouds and mist. Erwin was holding a cigarette in his mouth and pushed two confidentiality agreements in front of the two girls who were coughing continuously.

"Da da da……"

"Who!"

It was so hard to fool... No, Erwin seemed a little unhappy when he was interrupted at the last step of his work, but he was the only staff member here, so he could only curse inwardly, got up and opened the door of the small dark room.

"Uh! Captain Mikael! Why are you here!"

Today's Fire Chasing Moth has undergone simple and crude expansion, and the number of combatants has increased tenfold. For example, the fifth team now has nearly two hundred people, specifically responsible for the surrounding areas of Canghai City and even the entire southern China. Collapse event handling.

So as the captain of the fifth team, Mikael's status will naturally rise.

The smell of smoke hit his face, causing Mikael to squint his eyes. When he saw Erwin, he was a little surprised: "Team Leader Erwin, why are you here?"

"What the hell is a team leader?" Erwin rubbed his nose, and he could finally curse happily in front of the old man who was chasing the fire moth.

"Those people from the coalition government are getting more and more arrogant. I don't want to serve them. Didn't they take the initiative to apply to be transferred to the support company? It's so good here. They provide psychological counseling to ordinary people every day. Don't live a comfortable life. "

The corner of Mikael's mouth twitched slightly. Based on his understanding of Erwin, he thought that the matter would not be that simple. It was probably because his big mouth provoked some airborne leader, and then he was suddenly dragged to the support company.

But... even an old man like Erwin can't protect him... To what extent has Famas' power been diluted? And with Mebius staying at the headquarters, how much trouble will she face? And Uncle Hen... I heard that he made Aunt Blanca's belly bigger?

Wait a moment!

"Psychological counseling?" Mikael looked at Erwin with a strange look, "Shouldn't it be done by a professional psychologist?"

"It's not that simple. It's impossible to recruit psychiatrists on a large scale. Therefore, the number of these guys is extremely limited. They often provide psychological counseling to soldiers. How can they care about ordinary people?"

Mikael nodded, this is normal.

"Let me go in and talk to them. Anyway, I rescued them."

Erwin nodded, naturally it was all right.

Mikael walked into the small dark room. The two girls were sitting side by side on the sofa. The white-haired girl with a healthier complexion was holding Hua's arm and leaning on her closely.

They looked very uncomfortable with the smell of smoke, and so did Mikael.

While scolding Erwin in his heart, he waved his hand seemingly calmly, and the smoke in the room was pulled out of the door, and even the door closed on its own.

After seeing the battle between Death Warrior and Ellie, Mikael believed that the two girls in front of him would not make a fuss over such an ordinary thing again.

But he was wrong. The white-haired girl opened her eyes wide and shouted in surprise: "Wow! Brother! How did you do that move just now! It's so amazing! Can you teach me!"

Mikael silently covered his forehead and sat in Erwin's previous seat.

When Hua saw the man opposite them who had saved them...the man looked towards her, she couldn't help but think of the teacher's eyes in class, and she straightened her posture unconsciously.

But then she felt something was wrong, "Why are his eye circles so red..."

While thinking about it, Mikael had already spoken first.

He said: "Have you read the contract that Erwin gave you just now? To be honest, there is no need to care about the terms of the contract. As long as you sign your name, you will get a sum of money - of course, for students like you , it’s a huge sum of money. More importantly, whether you sign or not, we will not let you spread such remarks, so there is no need to struggle with it.”

After hearing this, Hua signed his name very obediently.

The white-haired girl asked in surprise while signing her name: "So what is that thing? It looks like a zombie, but it is much more flexible than the legendary zombies!"

Hua sighed and spoke before Mikael: "Carol, since they don't let us spread this information, do you think they can spread it themselves?"

"Ah...ah! Oh! So that's it! Hua, you are so smart!"

Mikael couldn't help lowering his head and pursed his lips and chuckled twice.

When he raised his head again, he saw Hua pouting, as if he wanted to say something.

He did not urge or interrupt roughly, but tacitly let the surrounding space return to calm.

It was so calm that the whole world could only capture the breathing sounds of three people.

After a while, Hua finally made up his mind and asked the question in his mind: "So, why don't you tell everyone the truth?"

Carol's mouth formed an "O" shape, her eyes were rounded, and she looked at Hua in disbelief, as if to say: "Hua, you are so brave!"

But then Hua called her name:

"For example, like Carol, she heard some rumors, but she was not sure whether they were true or false, and she was so bold that she dared to 'adventure' such things. Haven't you considered the consequences? "

Hua was a little timid at first, but the more he spoke, the more coherent he became, and his tone became bolder inadvertently.

Carol scratched her head, a little embarrassed, and then a little worried.

After all, not every man can remain indifferent to the accusations from such a young girl.

But Mikael just bit his lip and looked at Hua with an inexplicable look.

Hua tilted his head unnaturally, and their eyes immediately separated in the air.

For some reason, Hua saw a familiar feeling of confusion, powerlessness and helplessness in the other party's unexplainable expression.

She even had some illusion for a moment, as if there was a mirror in the air, and what she saw was not this man, but herself.

She twisted the braid hanging down from her left temple to relieve her embarrassment.

The man in front of her... No, looking at his face, Hua felt that he was only a little older than herself and still belonged to the category of a boy.

Hua suddenly had a feeling: He and he had never met each other before, but when they met for the first time today, they inexplicably felt like they were reunited.

In fact, Mikael has a similar feeling. Ellie always looks at the past, present and future very optimistically, but he has a completely pessimistic attitude. After being with her for a long time, he will feel that he may not be worthy of her.

In contrast, the loneliness and confusion on Hua's body made him see his own shadow, and he felt better.

But is it really just that? Mikael felt that his behavior was more like escaping from Ellie's passion.

Forget it, don’t think about this...

"You should know that this is not my decision. In the end, I am just a soldier."

In fact, even Mikael himself doesn't know whether the Fire Chaser's choice to conceal the truth about Honkai is a good thing or a bad thing for the general public.

The bad side, apart from what Hua said, is more importantly, as a person, Mikael feels that they should have the right to know and know what they are about to face.

But is “knowing” really a good thing?

"If you want to know the truth, you have to bear the consequences of knowing the truth." Mikael suddenly said with a smile.

"The truth may be far crueler than you imagine... Therefore, for most people, it is probably better not to know a truth that is too cruel to accept."

Mikael clearly saw Hua's pupils shrinking slightly.

He spread his hands casually, "Okay, I've asked Erwin to contact your school. It's still too late for you to rush back. He also said that he would provide you with psychological counseling... You two girls have not been taken care of at all. Be scared!”

Hua tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I was indeed scared."

Well, old antique, it’s you as expected.
