Winter has not yet completely passed, and the cold wind blowing into the forest on the sea seems to penetrate into people's skin and reach their bones.

Huggins' "acquaintances" took the camping utensils from the boat, set up tents, lit a campfire, put a cauldron on it, poured fresh water into it, and then chopped the vegetables and jerky that had been prepared and poured them into dices, burned them until they were eight ripe, and then added raw cheese to continue the cooking.

Todd watched the color of the soup turn milky white, smelled the sweet and greasy fragrance in his nose, and swallowed. When he actually swallowed the soup in his mouth, he regretted it a little, and this rich and sour taste really made him unable to compliment. He had the heart to put down the wooden bowl, but when he saw the others gobbling it up, he realized that the food had been carefully prepared.

Pursing his lips and gritting his teeth, he followed the example of others, poured all the soup in the bowl into his stomach in one go, ignoring the protests of his tongue and stomach cavity, his face showed natural and unpretentious intoxication, and his mouth did not hesitate to let out loud praise.

Seeing this, the "acquaintances" showed a rare joy and satisfaction on their faces, and they spoke louder, responding to the monks' praises.

Todd looked around, but didn't see Karin.

Huggins glanced at him with the rest of his eyes, uncharacteristically meddled his business, and asked casually, "You have nothing to do with the black sheep, right?"

Todd was a little embarrassed, so he roughly talked about his conversation with Karin today in two or three sentences.

The man put the bowl down and said with a frown, "Aliens usually don't introduce and ask about each other's abilities. ”

The monk's expression was a little surprised: "But I remember, you told me......"

Huggins nodded, "That's right, I told me about my abilities, but before that, you let me know your abilities." ”

Todd recalled the scene at that time, and it was indeed true that his behavior after regaining his eyesight was tantamount to confessing his "perspective" ability to the other party.

With some confusion, he asked the man, "Since they are all aliens, why are they so secretive about their abilities?"

"For them, the ability of xenomorphs may be the last resort to escape or fight back in a crisis. If you let others know your abilities at will, you are nothing more than leaking your means of escape to the other party. The man stirred the fire with a branch, as if remembering something, and continued: "Moreover, the aliens are not as united as you think, and fights and hunts often occur. ”

Huggins lowered the branch and looked into Todd's eyes, "Black Sheep told you about her abilities, not a casual thing, but a sign that she truly trusts you. ”

"Trust ......" recalled the petite figure, and Todd suddenly felt a warm place in his heart. He stood up, dropped a word, and left the camp: "I'll go find her." ”

The man smiled slowly as he watched his vanishing figure.

Todd searched for a long time, and finally found Karin at the big rock on the beach.

The girl sat on a stone with her knees folded, her mouth pursed, and she looked at the raging waves in front of her.

Having actually found her, Todd didn't know what to say first.

Hearing the movement behind her, Karin glanced back at the monk, let out a 'hum' in her nose, and turned her head back in a puff.

Walking slowly to the boulder, he simply sat down beside her, and Todd glanced at this girl of his own age, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. In her previous life, she should have been just a high school student, sitting in class with a small note, going shopping and singing with friends after class, and going home to watch TV and secretly wipe her tears.

A girl of this age, even if she is her own student, is too young.

But in another world, from the first time I saw her, I had a strange sense of familiarity and inexplicable closeness, wanting to get close to her and understand her.

Why?

Todd had thought about the question, but there was no answer.

Until now, looking at her black and soft hair in the wind, looking at her clear black eyes, he finally found the reason.

Lonely.

The other world brought him great loneliness.

Familiar scenes, familiar lives, and familiar people all disappeared in an instant, leaving me with a completely unfamiliar and dangerous environment.

The first thing I do when I wake up every day is not to think about what to eat for breakfast, but to think about how I should live today, and every time the sun goes down and darkness falls, I don't think about a new movie that I haven't watched this week, but I worry about whether I can see the sun tomorrow.

Every day is in such pain, and the cycle repeats itself over and over again.

Right now.

A girl with black hair and black eyes walked into her own world. Even though her facial features and language are very different from those of her previous life, in her, this little bit of the feeling of her past life is enough to make Todd like a lonely traveler who survives in a winter night, and after discovering a little fire, he will want to approach to keep warm.

In the end, this feeling for Karin is not love, but Todd's dependence and longing for his past life.

"Sorry......"

Karin may not understand these two words, but Todd knows what he means by saying this.

Picked up a small pink conch from the ground and stuffed it into the girl's hand: "Put it in your hand and don't let me see it." ”

The other party was confused, but did it anyway.

Todd used his clairvoyant ability to point to Karin's right hand.

The girl was behind her back again, hiding the conch.

This time it's left-handed......

Right hand, right hand, left hand......

After almost ten times, Todd looked at the curious inquiry on the girl's face and pointed to his eyes: "My xenomorph ability is clairvoyance. ”

Karin suddenly realized.

After a moment, suddenly remembering something, she screamed and covered her chest.

Todd smiled and patted his head: "Don't worry." This ability to see through skin and flesh, see internal organs and bones, but not just clothes. ”

The monk thought to himself, "I also deeply regret the 'flaw' of this ability.

Seeing the girl's expression gradually calm down, he tentatively asked, "Not angry?"

Karin pursed her lips and said fiercely, "No! I'm still angry, angry why did you bring me to this place!

Todd's head was sweating, I never said I was going to bring you, it seems like you must come with me......

Knowing that once a woman plays with her temperament, it will be useless to reason with this method, Todd was silent for a while.

Just as Karin quietly turned her face sideways and peeked at him.

The monk suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of playing cards?"
