Chapter 419: The Survival Status of Cats

In the next ten days, Barrett had to be questioned by Xingtong several times a day, and this little girl always felt that time passed extremely "fast".

"Another night, Mary sat in a narrow alley, the cold wind stinging her knees and cheeks, shivering and homeless." Barrett described a homeless little girl in a slow tone.

The devil knows why the Book of Sin records these stories.

After all, it will take a lot of time to reach their destination, and the star pupil who pestered them to tell the story during this time has already listened to two whole books.

In order to give her a normal psychoeducation, Barrett did not choose which book of kings with obvious braggart tendencies, but the book of wisdom.

It's a pity that the so-called pursuit of truth and repeated knowledge in it are all lack of interest for Xingtong.

On the contrary, there is something about painting, which she likes.

However, it is bedtime storytime, and Barrett can only find a story to tell.

The story that is being told now seems to him to be relatively normal, the tragic story of a little girl who has lost a loved one can be used to scare and scare the disobedient little girl, so that she can cherish the comfortable life now.

"Ah...... The wind was too cold, and Mary's thin clothes could not stop it, and her little blue hands rummaged through the basket, trying to find something to keep warm. Barrett said this, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, wasn't this the little girl who sold matches? Why is it in the Book of Sins?

With some doubt, he turned the page and continued reading.

"Tattered dander, broken stitches, a wooden bowl with a missing corner were things that didn't keep her warm. The wind was getting stronger, and the alleys did not bring warmth to Mary. ”

Gradually, Mary's fingers and toes were pinpricked with pain, and she began to cry...... "Barrett wanted to stop, this child named Mary was a little too miserable, listen, Star Pupil bit the handkerchief, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked pitiful.

"Woooooooooo......oo Mary was crying, when a voice began to hear in her ear: 'Good boy, what's wrong with you?' Mary wept and replied, 'It's cold...... It hurts...... I'm so hungry......'"

"The voice said softly, 'Good boy, look what this is?' A small bottle appeared in the palm of her hand. "Bottles? Alcohol? Drinking doesn't seem to really get rid of the cold, but it does relieve the pain, Barrett thought seriously.

"Mary didn't understand what the bottle was for, she looked up into the wind and asked, 'What should I do?' This bottle doesn't make me feel warm...... ' the voice reminded her again: 'You're surrounded by firewood, aren't you?' A flint stone appeared in Mary's other hand. "Barrett grew to feel that something wasn't right there, Flint? Firewood? She only looks like she has a wooden bowl, right?

Mary's eyes lit up, and she laughed and smashed the glass bottle on the wooden house, and then .................. "Barrett couldn't read it anymore, and he finally knew why he found it in the Book of Sins............

Mary, the mad arsonist, burned the entire town of Sindarin alone in the bitter winter, and one hundred and thirty people were burned to charcoals, and even more heinous, she also ate the body of her best friend Pliah, committed the unforgivable crime, and was sentenced to public hanging............

Barrett depressedly closed the torn book, and I ............ I said that this was a case of a psychopathic arsonist......

It was Xing Tong who innocently asked the following: "And then?" What happened to Mary? Did she feel warm? ”

"I feel it, grandma is here to greet her." He could only talk nonsense, and he couldn't tell her that the psychosis burned everyone in the town............ In case Xingtong did the same, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.

I secretly made up my mind that this broken book must find a place to keep it properly! The storage pod in the storage is a good choice!

It was easy to coax the star pupil to sleep, and Barrett sat on the edge of the porthole and looked at the starry sky outside in a daze.

The endless space voyage is very boring, so he keeps trying not to make Hoshitomi unhappy.

Now that the Kama has once again entered the stage of replenishing energy, the ghost's function of decomposing matter to produce energy is really very convenient.

But until now, even Barrett, who has obtained level 10 clearance, has not been able to manipulate the ghost at all, and this ability of its has not been given to Hanyu and Ace at all.

After all, is it still a matter of understanding permissions? But who should be like learning the use of authority?

Sassou was a good teacher, but he was reluctant to talk to her about it, as if he was very mentally retarded.

His mother had given him everything, but he still couldn't do anything, the fusion key had failed, he had no clue about finding the rift, and he had almost nothing to do except return to Frost.

Smacking his lips, Barrett began to miss the days of smoking and drinking again.

It's a pity that on this ship, you can have everything.

But in order to ensure the normal growth of the star pupil, these things will never appear.

"You can ...... by planting a few fruits" This kind of thing is difficult for him, and making wine from various grains or fruits can be said to be something he does every day in the special training camp.

After all, after being completely sealed, they can only get something with alcohol on their own.

"Uh-huh........." The unconscious moan of the star pupil was heard in his ears, and Barrett hurriedly closed his mouth talking to himself.

He walked back to the bed lightly, and looking at the lovely sleeping child, Barrett suddenly felt better.

"Every child is a treasure for their parents, right?" Poking his finger at the dimple on his face, Barrett laughed.

Who knew that Xingtong's little hand grabbed Barrett's fingers and stuffed them into his mouth, and he knocked his teeth and said goodbye to his dreams: "It's delicious......... Meaty ......"

You're a snacker! Finally pulling his fingers out without waking her up, he carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

I really want to get you a babysitter, yes, the lazy guy.

How do you get back to the Rift? Barrett really envies Lily, who can open the rift at any time and use her power, even if it's like Nopro!

Thinking of the white-haired Nopro smiling at him, Barrett began to miss the people and things in Frost.

A clever little man with a dark belly on the outside, Elivian who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and Lai Fei, who looks gentle and beautiful but is extremely difficult, of course, this is for Rose.

In fact, what he misses the most is the mother-in-law who is always smiling, but is unusually strong-Philia.

This replica of Nopro's deceased wife, before he could get his eldest daughter to accept him, died with his husband............ It is precisely because of her that he does not despise any artificial creature---- Philia is likely to be a replicant or a modified human, but he still has perfect humanity!

There is essentially no difference between human beings, human beings, and even the creatures that created human beings.

The parents of the three sisters are no longer there...... Lily and Diner are also gone...... Only then did he think that it seemed that except for the cheap father-in-law to settle down, all his elders were gone??

I'll go, it's miserable......

It's not fake miserable, it's really miserable............

The sleeping Xingtong didn't know what she dreamed of, she frowned slightly, and whispered softly: "Protect Dad...... Don't separate ......"

"It's bothering you." Barrett sighed, and he realized that it was indeed the little baby who was protecting him, even if she was completely unconscious and just a red goo, and she was struggling to protect herself in his chest......

Later, he rescued the dying Barrett twice, and some warm feelings were surging in his heart, and he slowly held the star pupil in his arms, and he responded: "I'm going to trouble you in the future, baby ......"

Closing his eyes, the warm feeling made him extremely reassured, and soon he put aside those distractions and fell asleep protecting the little star pupil.

Syllable...... Syllable......

There was a slapping sound.

Barrett opened his eyes, only to find the Star Pupil crouching beside him, tapping the ground with his small hand.

Here it is............

Corridor? A sense of familiarity came over him, but he hadn't been here before.

Standing up and looking at Hoshihitomi, she noticed that her eyes were smiling.

"Just now, a little bug wanted to disturb Dad's sleep...... "Is she filming ants?"

"I chased it away with my hands, and it didn't hurt it!" As if waiting for praise, Xingtong tried hard to hold up her small chest and said happily.

"That's great, you're doing a great job!" Touching her cheek, Barrett did not hesitate to praise the little girl.

With the star pupil sitting in the crook of his arm, Barrett stepped forward.

The corridor, which is not bright, but not dim, is not visible at a glance.

But he didn't see any rooms or entrances, so where the hell was this?

After walking for a quarter of an hour or so, Barrett stopped, and there was no change, and the road ahead did not change at all.

Is it another illusion? What did Sassou do? Except for her, no one seems to have this ability.

Or are they the so-called angels?

Just as he was wondering, a slightly weak voice came from behind him.

"You............ How did you come back again? But I don't know what to say about you ............ if I can bring someone in," the lazy voice was slightly unhappy.

Barrett was in a much better mood all of a sudden.

"Fortunately, although you are weak, you are fine." Barrett turned to look at the cat and crouched down.

The cat's red eyes flickered, and it was surprised to find that the little girl in his arms actually had the power of its master!

"It's!" He was about to say something in surprise, but it was hugged.

"It's really furry! It's so cute! "It's the star pupil that is happily bouncing around.

Struggled uncomfortably, it was begging for help from Barrett.

Gently grabbing the star pupil, Barrett persuaded: "I'll play with the cat later, it's very weak now." ”

Xingtong is still very well-behaved, although he is not very reluctant, but he still lets go of the cat.

It gasped for a moment before it recovered.

"It's terrible, every time I see you, it will give me a lot less life." With a grumbling, it let Barrett pick it up.

Left-handed cat, right-hand star-pupil, Barrett asked, "This is my rift?" Why is it different from before? ”

The cat lay on his arm, his ears twitched a few times, and then he said, "Of course, because your strength has increased again, and this place has tended to materialize." ”

It opened a red eye and looked at the opposite star pupil under the cover of its tail before it continued: "Why does this child have the power of its master? What is the relationship with you? ”

Since she didn't find any owner's breath in her, the cat was also a little confused.

"She's the Star Pupil, my daughter." As he walked, Barrett explained his relationship with Star Pupil, how she saved him, how she accidentally absorbed the power that was originally given to him in his body, and how Lily chose to treat her as his daughter, all of which he told the cat.

Nodding, it was a little afraid of the star pupils that were about to move, and shrank back.

The little girl kept trying to reach out and grab it by the tail, but was stopped by Barrett several times.

"And what are you doing here?" The cat didn't say that Barrett had been upgraded this time, and in its eyes, all the states of this little master could not be hidden from him.

"Actually, I need a babysitter." Barrett said embarrassedly.

Hearing this, the cat suddenly exploded, and it looked at Barrett in horror and then at the hopeful star pupils, and tears rolled out of its eyes.

"Woo woo, that's too bullying............ crying cat embarrassed Barrett a little.

"You, who have been serving you like a saboteur for years, asked me to serve her............ My life is really bitter...... although he was very wronged, the cat did not refuse fiercely, but accepted his life like a hard worker who was oppressed.

Xingtong, who had been very happy, hesitated a little, she looked at the cat tangled, and then looked at her father: "Dad, it seems to be very uncomfortable, but I like it so much......"

The reluctance and distress on the little face are clear, and Barrett is a little relieved, this little girl really has a good heart.

Barrett smiled, and he said, "Remember what I told you?" As long as you promise not to hurt it. ”

Xingtong agreed quickly, she kept nodding her head, and said happily: "I promise!" It's my best friend! ”

I turned my head to look at the cat, but found that it was not in a good state.

The white hair, which was originally smooth and supple, was now so rough that he couldn't even support his body, so he could only crawl on his arm.

"Look at your appearance, it's just a lack of energy, huh? What happened? How can I give you energy? ”

After resting for a while, the cat replied weakly: "It's okay, it's just that there is something wrong with the body of Z1......"

The body of the Z1?? Barrett had a bad feeling in his heart, what was going on there was something going on in the underground warehouse of the Farnet Intelligence Department............

Before he could continue to think about it, the cat continued: "Replenish energy? You can't do it now. ”

Can't do it? Why? Barrett looked at the cat in bewilderment, and a small diamond-shaped crystal appeared in his palm.

The cat's eyes were wide open, staring at the key in his palm............
