Chapter 11: Otto Apocaris

Trimmed up.

He didn't know how many times he had turned over, but he just couldn't fall asleep after turning over and over.

He felt that his eyes were sour and his brain was tired, but he just couldn't sleep.

He did his best to close his eyes and plunge himself into darkness. But his brain is incredibly active.

。 The bed here is not as soft as at home, and the quilt here is not as delicate as at home.

He finally realized that he was used to the bed at home, and he didn't need to get used to everything here.

It turns out that my life at home is so comfortable. Everything is too simple here. Even rudimentary.

Xiu rubbed his little head and wanted to drink some water, but found that there was not even a kettle in the room. He had to take out the water bladder and fill it several times.

He sat in his chair and stared blankly at the night sky.

There are few stars in the sky, but there is plenty of moonlight. I wonder if my father and sister are also looking at the sky. At least, the sky we are looking at is the same sky, right?

Xiu smiled.

At this time, a noise came from afar, and Xiu felt that the sound was somewhat familiar. After careful identification, it seemed to be David's voice.

The noise grew louder and louder, and then when I reached the door, I heard David yelling, "You move the room here for me!" Stop harming others! Get lost! Then Xiu heard the sound of items falling.

He opened the door of the room, and saw David standing in the doorway, pointing at the nose of a man standing at the door, cursing angrily, and threatening to knock on the door.

"Mr. David, what's wrong?"

David looked back in surprise, "Xiu? Haven't you slept yet? That's great. My brother got into trouble, and the people in his original room didn't want to live with him anymore. You're the only one in your room, so I want him to share a room with you. ”

"Welcome." Xiu smiled softly.

"Otto, come here!" David turned back to the man. The man walked in Houxiu to see his appearance. With the same blond hair and turquoise eyes as David, he looks a little bigger than Xiu, and has a hint of handsomeness on his face. He didn't have a trace of expression, just quietly let David scold.

"You are already worse than others, and if you still make trouble like this, your father will really be disappointed in you, can you fight for some anger!"

The man, Otto, remained silent, but silently raised his salute and rubbed Xiu's shoulder and walked into the room.

"You!" David was angry, "What about the etiquette that you usually teach?" Are you so rude! ”

"Mr. David!" Xiu said, "It's okay. After that, we were roommates, and some of them were time. ”

"Then I thank you in advance. His name was Otto Apokalis. My brother may be older than you, but he may not be as reassuring as you. ”

"Maybe my father won't agree with you."

Both smiled.

"Then I'll go back and rest first. The first time you sleep in a barracks bed, you should be very unaccustomed. You just make yourself more tired, so tired that you don't have the heart to think about it, and it's easy to fall asleep. You'll be able to get used to it in a week. David reminded Xiu.

"Well, got it, thank you, Mr. David."

"Then I'll go back first. There is still one day before the official training, and you can familiarize yourself with the barracks tomorrow, but I may not be able to take you to familiarize yourself, I have a temporary mission. ”

"It's okay, the task is more important, I'm still very clear about that." Xiu smiled, "Please be careful, Mr. David." ”

"Thank you, I will."

When David turned around to leave, he seemed to remember something again, "By the way, you can use this sign to go to the Metropolitan Demand Office tomorrow to pick up supplies." It's got everything you need to live in the barracks. But remember to keep it because if there is damage it is to be bought. ”

Xiu nodded, and David just left.

When Xiu returned to his room, he saw that the newcomer had placed all his salutes beside the empty bed, and he was already lying on the bed, and there was no movement.

Xiu didn't pay attention to it, just went back to his bed by himself, and lay down silently to cover the quilt.

The two of them didn't speak, but they kept turning over and over, and the rustle of the bed board and the quilt rubbing against each other was endless.

Finally, it seemed that the man named Otto could not bear such a bed either, and sat up impatiently.

"Hey, I said you don't have any problems at all?"

"What's the problem?" Xiu asked rhetorically.

"Questions about me, who I am, why I'm being driven to this place, and so on. The guy before had been asking questions all the time. ”

"Do you like being asked that?"

"I don't like it. But I'll get used to it. ”

"Then I won't ask. If you want to say, you'll tell me. Xiu gave Otto a big smile.

Otto was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"You're a little different from others, but I seem to like you a little bit."

"Should I be honored for this?"

"Of course."

Xiu sat up and said, "Can we be friends?"

Yes? This question embarrassed Otto a little.

"Not yet. We haven't known each other for even a day. ”

"There will be a day, if not longer. How about we move the time a little earlier? ”

"And such an algorithm?"

"I figured it out. Since I've never had a friend, the thought that you might be my first friend makes me a little excited. ”

Otto looked at Xiu suspiciously. "You don't have any friends? How is it possible, I see my brother full of praise for you, you should be very good, how can you not have friends..."

"It's true." Xiu shrugged his shoulders and shrugged, "I haven't left home since I was a child, I haven't had the opportunity to contact others, and I don't have the opportunity to make friends with others. I was the only child in the family, and I heard that my father had several brothers, but none of them had families, and I had never seen them in the castle. Except for the maid or knight in the house, they don't play with me, who do I make friends with? Xiu's face was full of nonchalance, but the gloom of his eyes clearly betrayed his thoughts.

Otto looked at Xiu, who was a little sad, and sneered lightly, "It's true, if you are really so good, how can you come to this "garbage concentration camp". ”

"Garbage camps?"

"yes, don't you know? This newly opened Tenth Knight Training Camp is actually a recycling bin for those who have been selected and eliminated by the Knights. The people here are not able to withstand the training of the official Order. After training in a weakened version here, you can get a logistics job against Honkai Operations. It's just that you can still claim to be a knight and a fighter against Honkai to the outside world. But as long as you report the number, everyone knows: Oh, it turns out to be garbage in the recycling bin. Isn't it ridiculous? ”

"So," Xiu nodded, "so it seems that I can make a lot of friends here?" ”

Is there something wrong with his focus? Otto was a little strange. But he replied, "Yes." Otto glanced at him, "Make a lot of friends like you garbage." ”

"Isn't that a good thing, too?" Xiu smiled, "Powerful people don't want to be with us, so only those of us who aren't powerful will be in a group." Xiu looked at Otto quietly, "You're here too, which means you're also the garbage in your mouth?" ”

Otto stared at Xiu's eyes tightly and nodded vigorously, "Yes, I'm a garbage too." ”

Xiu smiled even more happily, "My name is Xiu Kaslana. I don't know if I can get to know you officially? At least, now we're all garbage. ”

"Otto Apocaris." Otto squeezed his name from between his teeth.

"Okay, Otto. I wonder what you're here to do? ”

"I don't have any plans, my only plan is to get out of here and take the route I chose to fight against Honkai."

"What else can you do against Honkai other than fighting?"

"Yes!" Otto's eyes flashed with a feverish gaze, "That's—" Suddenly, Otto's fanatical eyes dimmed. "Forget it, you won't understand." Otto said. "No one has understood me but her." He added.

Xiu looked at Otto's eyes with a hint of complexity. But he didn't care who Otto was about her.

"Otto, I don't think I'm a piece of trash." Xiu said as he looked into Otto's eyes.

"Really? I think so too. That's what everyone who came here thinks. But what's the use of that? We don't admit that we're garbage, but that doesn't change the fact that we're garbage, or the fact that we can't go to war like everyone else, or the fact that we're in the garbage bin. ”

"No, I mean, we're none of trash, we just need a little bit of time to grow." Xiu smiled lightly, "It's very simple to change other people's minds, we just need to obtain or do things that others can't imagine here, can't we?" ”

"Don't say it so easily!" Otto suddenly roared excitedly: "Do you know how ridiculous you say? Do you want to say: if you work harder than others, you will definitely succeed? As long as you are more careful than others, you will definitely be able to do things that others can't do? I'll tell you now! If you work harder than others, you will not necessarily succeed, and even your efforts will not be rewarded at all! Because, you're not that piece of material at all! "Otto was a little hysterical. The young man even inadvertently ruffled his hair as he yelled, making him look a little crazy.

Xiu didn't know that his words would cause such a big reaction from Otto, and he replied hesitantly, "Otherwise? Do nothing? Do you eat and drink at home and wait for death? He thought about his life in Caslana Castle for the past few years, and suddenly felt a wave of anger in his heart: "If you are really the garbage that has been abandoned here, then do you know what I am?" I'm a piece of scum looking for hope here!

"You were thrown here, perhaps because you were not selected by the Knights, and I was not physically fit to participate in the selection from the beginning! I was abandoned by my family at the beginning and forgotten until now.

"Ever since I was very young, my family never had hope in me! I've been working myself, all the time. I'm working on myself! In order to get their approval to prove me, I agreed to my father's request, and I ran ten laps around my family's castle. My castle is no smaller than here, and I ran ten laps! I almost died on my doorstep! That's my home! I almost died there!

"It wasn't until a few days ago that I was finally told that I had the opportunity to train, that I had the opportunity to train with my sister and the knights at home, and that there was finally someone looking forward to me, and that I felt alive for the first time! Do you think I'm going to hate this and that? No, I'm thankful for the one who gave me this kind of garbage a chance! ”

Xiu stood up and walked in front of Otto's eyes. He was not as tall as Otto, but when he looked up at Otto, Otto was a little afraid to look at him head-on.

"It's my only hope, my only chance to change myself. I know, I know that my efforts are likely not to be recognized by others, but I can change myself, and that's more important than anything else. You may have other ways to get involved in the battle against Honkai, but I don't. All I have is a life and a failed body that I owe from birth. That's all. ”

Otto forced himself to look into Xiu Jingzi's eyes, "Your name is Xiu Kaslana, right?" ”

"Yes."

"You're Mr. Francis's son?"

"Yes."

"You're Karen's brother?"

"Yes."

Otto chuckled.

"No wonder, it turns out that the people of the Caslana family are so naïve?"

"Can I understand that you're complimenting us?"

"Yes." Otto's eyes were less distant when he looked at Xiu, "You are a bit like Kalian. On the side of naivety. ”

"Why should something that can be solved simply why it should be complicated."

"Will you hear my path first?"

"I'd love to."

"That's good." Otto leaned down and stared into Xiu's eyes, "My path is to study the Honkai!" He said word by word.

"Really?" Xiu's calmness did not surprise Otto, but Otto still breathed a sigh of relief, "Sure enough, it's Kalian's younger brother." You and she reacted exactly the same. Otto looked up and said in a relaxed tone. In this way, the conversation box opened up at once, and Otto was in the mood to explain his thoughts to Xiu.

"I've heard the teachings of the church that they believe that Honkai is evil and that any knowledge of Honkai is taboo. But I don't know why they do that.

"It's like a flame. In the beginning, flame was also the most feared existence of us human beings. All living beings are born with a fear of fire. But what about after we got acquainted with the flames? What is there in our lives that can leave the flames!

"Although there are still careless people who can cause fires, can we stop them from using flames? No! So why can't we use Honkai like a flame as well!

"My idea is to study Honkai Boy carefully and thoroughly! Let humans understand Honkai as much as they know about fire, and thus use Honkai as if they were flames! At that time, we won't have so many people dying because the Honkai Beast will no longer be terrifying, and the terrifying Honkai will just be as dangerous as a flame, but it is within the control of humans! Otto's eyes showed a feverish look, his chest was full of pride, and he raised his hand to see that it was full of rebuke: "At that time, mankind will be above God!" We can cure any disease, including the Black Death, and we can gain supreme power to move mountains and seas with our bare hands! We can even go up to heaven and earth and do anything! ”

Xiu nodded as if he didn't understand, "Sounds very good!" By the way, I have one more question! ”

"What a problem!" Otto's eyes looked back proudly, and his burning eyes looked at Xiu with a burning gaze.

"What is Honkai?"

Otto's pride, his atmosphere, and his momentum of scolding Fang Xuan were instantly strangled to death in the womb.
