Chapter 154. Night + post-war city
The houses in the city have been partially restored, but most of them are still not repaired.
One by one, the citizens of the Red Devil Clan are hurrying to repair it. To the surprise of Ninety-Nine, among the people who helped repair the house, there was actually a group of bodyguards from the Song Building.
Although he released blood butterflies before, when he secretly looked at Gennai, Ninety-Nine found a few. But he really didn't expect that these people had been helping until now, and there seemed to be more than he expected.
"This ......" Immediately, Ninety-Nine had a little more affection for this gangster. Of course, not only Ninety-Nine, but also those merchants who pay protection fees on weekdays are grateful to Gelou.
When repairing houses and repairing the ground, the magic arrays produced by the restoration of houses and floors appear in all corners of the city, adding more lively and warm colors to the city.
Most of the dilapidated houses were occupied by residents who fled when they heard the war. Since many of them left on foot, the war ended with the golden light that shone in the sky, before they could get too far out of the city, and before Kecheng had disappeared from their field of vision.
Look at the people who are repairing their houses, at the people who deliver food, at the people who are resting against the walls to light cigarettes, at the people who come and go to the makeshift hospital......
Then look at the dilapidated houses, and the makeshift shelters in the city's small squares and parks......
Looking at this warm scene of everyone working together to restore their home, Ninety-Nine smiled bitterly.
"Wow...... It's good, it's lively." Gennai didn't quite know if the word was accurate at this time, so he hesitated.
"yes. It's really lively." Ninety-nine lovely echoed.
"Master, I want to repair the house too."
"No, sister, you've helped too much today. If you help again, it's likely to make them less grateful to you."
"I see." Genna nodded sensibly.
Looking at the Red Devils who were constantly busy helping to repair the house, Ninety-Nine's smiling expression slowly calmed down, and after the air was quiet for 2 seconds, Xiao Lori suddenly reached out and said indifferently: "Human beings are greedy, once they get too many benefits, their gratitude and favor to their benefactors will slowly fade, and they may betray their benefactors in the end."
"Genna will never forget the master's kindness to Gennai! Absolutely not! Not to betray!" Gennai suddenly shouted in excitement behind Ninety-Nine. (The soundproofing spell has been activated, so the Reddevils below can't hear it.) )
Ninety-nine turned to look at Gennai in surprise and found that Gennai was crying again.
A beautiful girl like an elf, sudden. Under the slightly frowning brow, the pair of ice blue eyes were extremely serious. Big tears flowed down his face. The hands that were held in front of his chest, the left hand grabbed the right hand fiercely.
Ninety-nine's words were originally intended to make Gennai understand that he couldn't help others endlessly, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by Gennai.
Immediately, just as Xuan Nai's words fell, a small hand gently put on the top of the girl's head.
"Sister, don't cry. I'm not talking about you." Ninety-nine deliberately said in her loveliest, most innocent voice. With the clear eyes that are flustered, it's as cute as cheating.
Gennai was stunned, her tearful eyes looked at the boy in front of her in confusion who was so cute that she couldn't take her eyes off.
"I just wanted to tell my sister something about my experience. Sister, don't think about it." Ninety-nine continued to speak while comforting Gennai.
"Oh...... Yes, that's right. I'm sorry, master......" Genna's eyes drifted to the side apologetically, but soon she looked at Ninety-Nine again, "But master, what I just said is definitely not false." Genna said a little excitedly.
"I know. I believe in you." Ninety-nine smiled in embarrassment, his eyes were a little kind, and he quickly changed the subject: "Ah, that's right. It's true that I shouldn't help anymore, but there's a place where I can help."
"Huh?" Gennai was stunned.
"Come, come, come~" Ninety-Nine kept the preschooler's voice and waved his little hand. Then, he took Genna and flew in the direction of the hotel where they were staying before.
Soon, the two of them were in the air diagonally above the hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel they were staying in was not damaged.
The male proprietor and the proprietress of the inn are helping to repair the shop with the opposite door at the moment. Even Li Wenjia, who didn't look very old, was helping to clean the streets.
"Oh, I'm sorry, sister. Let you rejoice in the emptiness." Ninety-nine hands and ten fingers pointed at each other, lowered their heads, and said cutely.
"Where, master, you don't have to apologize."
"That (next) ......"
Before Ninety-Nine could finish speaking, Gennai suddenly raised his hand curiously and pointed to a church a hundred meters away, "Master, what is that pillar of light?" At this moment, on the outside of the small church in Kecheng, a short pillar of light with a height of about ten meters is lit.
Ninety-nine looked at it, and the eyebrows on the scarlet eyes changed from one high and one low curiosity to bland in an instant.
"Ah, that, that's cremating the body."
"Why?"
"Because if it is not cremated, the corpse will be demonized, and then it will become a demon or a demon." Ninety-nine turned his head.
"Oh. So, are those who are praying the families of the corpses?"
"Probably." Ninety-nine smiled reluctantly.
Gennai nodded ignorantly, and then the light in his eyes looked elsewhere.
"Haha......" Ninety-nine smiled kindly in his heart, he originally planned to take Gennai to the universe to see the night scene, after all, this scene is not beautiful, but now it seems that Gennai and Ninety-Nine do not think the same.
So Ninety-Nine said, "It's still a long time to get into the night, Genna, just look at it. If we're tired of seeing, we'll go back."
"Hmm."
……
The white-haired girl with two lives, like a ghost, wanders in this dilapidated, warm, and light-filled city.
Gennai wandered in the sky and fell to the ground, taking a closer look at the magic that was going into repairing the house.
Sometimes, Gennai sticks to the bar window and peeks inside at the crying and laughing customers. Sometimes, they would run to the makeshift shelter and peek inside at the wounded who were alone in a daze.
Some merchants with small carts or boxes hanging on their chests have also slowly appeared over time. Although the city had just experienced the war, it had not been completely destroyed, so business had to continue as usual.
The 'maintenance workers' who didn't have time to cook were also thankful for buying cheap and hungry rations from these small vendors.
Genna looked at those colorful snacks and was a little greedy.
