Chapter 421: An Ordinary Man and His Ordinary Secrets
"The essence of weapons is a tool, a tool for killing, and since it is a tool, then it should not have the ability to think independently." Xingxi calmly talked about her own affairs, and Qianmo didn't expect her to be able to think so thoroughly.
It's not that she's not without emotions, it's just that she has the ability to hide all emotions deep in her memory, and even to never think about them.
"I used to think that just simple obedience was fine, but then emotions were not allowed."
"The first training on us was over when I was able to kill people and I was the last trainee, and it wasn't until then that I saw the children who could really be called peers."
"Yes, the children who killed each other before were not my companions at all, and their only purpose was to die, that is, to learn to kill, and I believe that others are the same."
"After the initial training, most of them began to become silent and alert, and only a few were lively and cheerful optimists, and I told myself to be careful of them, but the second phase of training was far less difficult than I imagined."
"Once you've learned how to kill your own kind without any fear, you're just beginning to learn the art of killing."
"There is no better teacher than the beast."
"They're sharper, they're faster, they're stronger, they're trade-offs, maybe humans were the same beings as them a long time ago, but now they're just animals that survive by killing. Each of us was given a dagger, and then relied on this dagger to fight a beast far above you, without words, without words, as long as you learn to survive on your own. ”
"I learned the most in my life during those most boring years."
"For example, it is stupid to be injured, for example, the only person who can be trusted is yourself, and for example, what is the use of the materials on a wolf, or that the dead are the best."
"Anyway, I grew up so fast that I quickly became the best seed in the program, and then all the way through."
"Between the ages of four and seven is the most important period for memory formation, during which we all spend time with wild beasts, learning from them how to kill each other and then forgetting everything we once remembered."
"No one knew I remembered, and I finally learned a little wiser and told myself to forget."
"Even if you don't forget, but not wanting is the same as forgetting."
"When it is confirmed that we have all been completely wiped out of the marks of the past, finally a teacher began to teach us all the necessary knowledge, the process of returning from wildness to reason is a long time, but it is also a warm and comfortable memory, my mentor's name is Xinghe, he is an ordinary clansman who has lived in the city of stars all his life, he didn't even know that he had entered part of the weapon project, but he was told that the clan had adopted a group of wandering children outside, hoping to help cultivate them."
"I've never seen my father because he died before I was born, and I've seen my mother, but all I have can do is see her smiling and judging herself in front of me."
"But I've always believed that if my father was still alive, he would probably be like a galactic mentor."
"I used to think that my suffering was over, because I was the best and most obedient child among us, but I was too young to know the most powerful and obedient."
"A lot of times it's not a good thing."
"Mentor Xinghe is a very ordinary clansman, and he has a girl he likes very much, but he is not married for various reasons, so he is the only one who took me to his house, called Master and Apprentice, in fact, like father and daughter."
"Although I had my initial education in the royal palace of Stert, it was something I had forgotten, so I had to start from scratch, learn little by little, and then grow."
"I remembered the existence of the Weapons Project, and I never shy away from Mentor Xinghe, thinking that in this way I would have a chance to avoid the nightmare that might come, but then I learned that Teacher Xinghe, like those children, is something destined to die."
"In those five years, I never said a single superfluous word to Mr. Xinghe, and I carefully and cautiously kept my distance from him, fearing that he would die because of my ominousness."
"But five years later, the order still came as promised."
"Kill your own mentor, or choose to be killed by your mentor."
"Many of my companions I know have died at this moment, some of them made mistakes in the process of doing it, and they were killed by their own mentors, and some even rebelled by themselves."
"That was the first time I disobeyed an order, took advantage of a gap to find my mentor, and said superfluous things to him for the first time."
"I thought he was a member of the Dark Star in disguise, but I ended up believing him, a family member I've been with for five years."
"If only I were qualified to have a family."
"Mr. Xinghe told me that he already knew about three years ago."
"It was precisely because of my estrangement and indifference to him that he keenly felt that I was not just an ordinary orphan picked up from the outside as they said, so he took the risk of doing a lot of investigation and got a part of the truth."
"That includes a rule that all students must kill the teacher."
Qian Mo laughed self-deprecatingly when he heard this: "This is what you said about ordinary members of the Yin Clan?" Can you get that top-secret material alive from the Dark Star? ”
"Yes." But Xingxi nodded seriously: "I haven't prayed to any gods since I was born, but I was a little shaken at that moment. ”
"I know I have a chance, if Xinghe-sensei can help me, I can probably escape here, and with what I have learned in the previous twelve years, I believe that I have the ability to survive in any world."
"But you didn't." Qian Mo said.
"Yes, I didn't." Xingxi said: "At the moment when I was about to break through my emotions, Teacher Xinghe silently made a gesture to me. ”
"It was a silent gesture, simple and subtle."
"Actually, that's the gesture I used to using, because I don't like words on weekdays, so I use a lot of gestures to help him communicate at home, and this gesture is what I use when I want him to calm down."
"Now he's doing it to me."
"He smiled when I gave up on my plan to confide in him."
"Do you remember? There is no one in this world to whom you can trust, like me. ”
"The so-called unique existence of the two has been an eternal proposition since birth."
"Everyone has their own secrets, like me."
"I wish I could leave with my own secrets, like an ordinary being."
Xingxi repeated what her teacher said at that time, word by word, and Qian Mo believed that there would not be a syllable fallacy, which showed that the girl remembered him deeply.
"Then he took the initiative to attack me, and instinctively, I killed him immediately."
"I was supposed to die when I was four years old, and I survived."
"When I was twelve, the world gave me a second chance, and I survived."
"From that point on, I understood that I was probably going to really want to be the last person I ever wanted to be."
"But it's a path I chose."
