………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
During his few days at Xavier Academy, Delos kept repeating the process of quenching his body, practicing boxing, eating, reading, and resting. Although the process was a little boring, it was worth it for Delos. Because after a few days of rest, he completely adapted to the increased strength. Even the hidden damage caused to the body after entering the 'Spirit Snake Wild Dance' state before has recovered a lot in the past few days.
Due to the huge negative effects of Purgatory Day, there are still many mutant students and their families who have a lot of problems. So even though Oloro was going to find time for Delos to interact with the students, there were so many things going on in the school that he had to push it back. Even Qin Jiayin has been very busy in the past few days because she has to help Ororo with a few classrooms to deal with things in the school.
This morning, Delos, who was idle and had nothing to do, still planned to repeat the process of action of the previous days. However, just as he was about to perform the quenching, a few sobs caught his attention.
Delos's room was on the edge of Xavier's Academy, and few people would come over. This is also his own request, after all, before the physical problem is solved, he still hopes to have a quieter environment to allow him to concentrate on solving the problem.
He looked through the door and saw a girl of twelve or thirteen years old huddled in a corner with a picture and crying quietly.
Hearing the door open, the girl jerked her head up, revealing her red, swollen eyes and a cute little face stained with tears.
"Sorry, I didn't expect anyone here"
As if she didn't expect someone here, she quickly hid the photo in her hand behind her, apologized and planned to turn away. But when she was about to leave, Delos opened his mouth to stop her.
"Actually, you don't have to leave." Delos shrugged his shoulders and said, "I won't tell anyone about you, you don't have to be nervous." ”
The girl paused, but shook her head and rejected Delos's offer.
"My name is Delos, a friend of Delos-Sullivan, Qin Jiayin, and Oloro. What is your name? Despite the rejection, Delos continued to speak to himself.
The girl paused for a moment, and it took a long time for her to hold back a sentence: "Katie, Katie Pryde." ”
Katie's voice was a little hoarse, and she looked at Delos, although there was doubt in her eyes, but the sad color had been wrapped around her eyes, which made people feel a little distressed.
"I've lost a very important person before." Delos said as he walked beside Katie, "It was a bad time, but I still got through that painful period. So I think I might be more sympathetic to your feelings. ”
"Really?" Katie's eyes moved, but she didn't know what she thought, and lowered her head in some frustration.
"Did you lose anyone in the day of purgatory?"
Katie didn't speak, but her hands tightened subconsciously. Delos sighed silently, then leaned against the wall and continued:
"I don't know who you've lost, but seeing you so uncomfortable, that person must have a good relationship with you."
He half-crouched down to make it easier for the other party to see him.
"This person who has a good relationship with you will definitely feel very uncomfortable if he sees you like this, are you sure you want to make your friend uncomfortable after he dies?"
"No!" Katie hurriedly shouted, but the next moment, she lowered her head again, and her voice became a whimper: "But, but I, I just can't control myself, I just feel very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable!" ”
Speaking of this, Katie shouted loudly, and her tears began to drip back, but she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying.
At this moment, Katie suddenly felt a warm hand on her head and rubbed it, but this warm feeling couldn't help but rise in her heart with a familiar sense of dependence.
That feeling hadn't been felt since years ago, and that was what her parents used to do to her. But since they died in an accident, that feeling hasn't been felt again.
"Then cry out loud, it's comfortable to cry."
Delos's voice had a familiar warmth in her voice, and with the impetus of this warmth, she finally let out a loud cry.
"Wow~~!!"
Katie hugged Delos, weeping and crying, and the pain in her heart poured out of her brain. All Delos could do was let her cry in his arms while patting her little head and whispering comfort.
I don't know how long it took, but when Katie's mood calmed down, the blue shirt on Delos had left a large trail of water.
"Uh...... Excuse me. Katie wiped the tears from her face, and then looked at Delos's self-soaked clothes, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Don't mind this little thing~" Delos smiled: "What? Isn't it much more comfortable? ”
Hearing this, Katie couldn't help but be stunned, she found that she really felt a lot more comfortable as the other party said. Although I still feel a little uncomfortable from time to time, it is much better than before.
"It's better for girls to smile more." As he spoke, Delos pointed at himself, his face full of depression: "I can't do it." You see, as a big man, I look average, and if I don't smile all day long, I will be ostracized. You're different, you're so pretty, you're very popular even if you don't laugh. Wouldn't it be fascinating to smile again? It's a waste of resources to have such good capital and not laugh! ”
"Poof."
Delos's viciously funny appearance made Katie bow her head and laugh. Seeing the latter laugh, Delos couldn't help but laugh. To be honest, he didn't like to see such a kind and lovely child with a sad face, so when he saw this child showing this sad appearance, he couldn't help but help the other party.
"Katie."
Hearing Delos's voice, Katie turned her head to look and saw Delos say softly, "You are a brave child. But crying for someone important is not a sign of weakness or ugliness. On the contrary, it is a sign of strength. ”
"Strong performance?" Katie couldn't help but wonder.
"Hmm." Delos nodded and smiled, "What's the big deal about crying?" It is because of grief that we cry. It is after crying that you can stand up better and faster to face everything. In this world, both men and women, as long as they still have feelings, will cry. Whether it's for a friend, family, or someone else's tragedy...... You don't understand it yet, but I want you to remember that. ”
Katie nodded a little incomprehensibly, now that the other party is still young, her understanding of these issues is not clear enough to understand it well. So Delos didn't say much, just said goodbye to the other party after a little comfort, and these questions can only be understood slowly when Katie grows up.
"You're pretty good at comforting."
When Katie left, a pleasant female voice came from the side. When Delos heard this, he found that Oloro was coming out from behind the wall beside him, his long silver hair fluttering in the wind, and his eyes were full of mockery when he looked at him.
"This way of comforting children is so skillful, little brother, you shouldn't have a child at this age."
Delos rolled his eyes when he heard this, he didn't even break in his past and present lives, where did he come from? And the other party actually called him little brother, which made him a little unhappy.
"Aren't you still in trouble? How did you come here? Got it busy? Unhappy is not happy, Delos still raised the question in his heart.
"Well, it's almost over." Oloro smiled, "So I asked if it would be convenient for you to interact with the students tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Delos nodded, and then said helplessly, "Is this really okay?" Many of your students are the same age as me, or even two years older than me. Aren't you worried that I'm going to mess up this interaction? ”
"If I was a little worried before. After seeing what you just did, I don't think there's any need to worry. Oloro smiled and quipped to Delos, "Seriously, wouldn't you consider coming to our school as a teacher?" In this way, you can stay with the good news all the time~"
"Oloro, do you know that your expression is very similar to that of a pimp now?" Delos tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he still didn't say what he was complaining about.
"Okay, stop laughing." As she spoke, she suddenly became colorful. Seeing that the other party's face changed so quickly, Delos was a little unresponsive for a while. When he reacted, he hesitated a little and said, "Well, I think you should have come more than just to inform me when I would interact with the students." But can I trouble you not to be so serious when you speak, I have a lot of psychological pressure. ”
"Thank you."
"What?" Delos didn't react for a moment, but when he thought of Katie who had left, he knew what was going on.
"It's nothing."
"It was my job." Oloro smiled a little helplessly: "But obviously, you did better than me." ”
"Katie's kid has always been more introverted, which is worrying. Especially in this case, one of her ordinary human friends was killed. ”
At the end, Oloro added, "It was shot by ordinary humans in chaos." ”
"It's a pity, boy."
Delos didn't know what to say, he could only say that the other party was too unlucky. Don't look at the TV in the past few days, it is always emphasized that there are more than 10 million casualties across the country, and all the casualties must be counted on Kim He and other counterforces and corrupt judicial personnel. In fact, there are two main reasons why so many people died this time.
First, the opposition forces have too many high-tech weapons with too high destructive power. To change a word that people in the world of Delos in his previous life understand better, it is called black technology. The weapons of this world are too advanced compared to the weapons of the previous life. Just the black technology weapons used by those counter-forces to cause trouble. Black technology weapons represent far more destructive power than other ordinary weapons, in so many years of development, human science and technology has indeed made great progress, but the general public's physique is still too ordinary after all, in the face of black technology this kind of bug, it is as fragile as tofu.
Second, there are ordinary people. You must know that in the chaos, there are often a very large number of people who die at the hands of ordinary people. In the chaos, there are countless deaths caused by stampedes, deaths caused by competition for survival resources, and deaths caused by crimes committed while the fire is fired.
What's more, the United States of this world, like the United States of the previous life, has many people who own guns. In addition, because of the larger size of the country, the population of the United States in this world is several times larger than that of the United States in the previous life. In this case, the number of people who own guns is also very large.
In the midst of this chaos, Delos could have imagined what would happen.
Combined with these unfavorable circumstances, Delos felt that only 10 million people died could be said to be a great blessing in misfortune.
