Chapter 610
Santa Claus didn't dwell on this topic, but said, "After all that, you should have a little trust in me now, so how about taking the car to my house?"
"Hey, don't even think about it!" Roger sneered and said categorically, "Even if you name the flowers, don't want me to get into your car." ”
"Then you can't just walk on your feet all the time, my home is in the kingdom of Narnia," Santa Claus's tone was a little helpless, "There is not much time left before the universe merges..."
"Why, you still have to be in your house to travel through the universe?" asked Roger.
Santa Claus: "That's not it..."
"Isn't that the end of it?" Roger spread his hands and interrupted the old man's words, "The little time I have left in this universe is not spent in the house of a hundred-year-old man who is single. ”
Santa Claus was speechless for a moment, and finally held back a sentence: "Then you should also be considerate of the physical strength of the elderly." ”
Roger: "Hehe..."
With the joint efforts of the two of them, the surrounding environment seemed quiet, and only the rustling of footsteps was still heard in the forest away from the road.
The bright sunlight formed sporadic beams of light through the branches and leaves, and the grass scattered on the ground, and the mossy stones were slippery on the soles of the feet, and it was rare to see any small animals jumping out to salute Santa Claus.
According to common sense, when two people who know each other but are not familiar with each other walk together, they will be a little uncomfortable if they don't say a word, but neither of these two goods can be regarded as a 'normal person'.
So this slightly embarrassing quiet atmosphere did not affect the old and young walking among the trees at all. If people who don't know see this scene, maybe they will think that the old man is tired of staying at home and has come out to sneak his grandson...
Most of the day passed in a blink of an eye, and the two people who were walking around the corner at the speed of eating after meals hadn't even walked out of the forest outside the town. I don't know if it's because of the proximity to the sea, but the forest air is a little humid after dark.
Santa Claus sighed and broke the slightly dull atmosphere first.
"Actually, I can understand your thoughts," he said, "sending you out of the cosmic barrier to promote the failure of the fusion is only a speculation on my part in the end, and I don't know who is going to put this matter on anyone's mind." It's okay if it succeeds, but it's a joke if it doesn't, I can understand it..."
"Well," Roger snorted absentmindedly, his eyes glancing around, "That's why you put the decision in my hands and let me carry this black cauldron, right?" ”
Santa Claus was choked immediately, his mouth opened and closed twice, and he said helplessly: "Have you always been so choked when you speak?"
"Of course...... Roger turned his head slightly, pinched the old man between the corners of his eyes and said, "I'm too lazy to take care of you, can't you see?"
With such straightforward words, with Santa Claus's cultivation, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The benefits were obvious, the old man didn't try to stir up any topics, which made Roger, who rarely didn't want to talk, a lot quieter.
For the next three days, the thing wandered around aimlessly, and his attitude towards Santa Claus was in a state of oblivion, which made the old man completely understand that Roger didn't want to follow his method to immediately this universe.
Therefore, leaving behind clouds such as "hello for yourself", "I hope you don't regret it in the future", "I will come back to you after the fusion starts", Santa Claus sighed and left, without revealing the slightest intention of forcing him.
This made Roger sigh for a while. Although Santa's philosophy is diametrically opposed, it does not prevent him from appreciating the ways of others.
Killing one person and saving ten thousand people does not exist in Santa's dictionary, and the question of which is more important, one person's life or ten thousand people's lives, is not valid in his opinion. Every life should be equal and valuable in his view, and there is no quantitative comparison at all.
He told Roger the truth and his own reasoning, and if Roger left voluntarily, it would be a good thing, but if he didn't, he would only do his best to help the people who suffered because of it, but he would never cause another innocent person to suffer for the sake of people's safety... Roger was innocent.
After all, everything that should be talked about has been discussed, and Santa Claus also knows a little bit about Roger, knowing that this boy did not sneak out of the origin universe by himself, and it was not Roger's intention to cause all this. Moreover, cosmic fusion is an inevitable development trend, and Roger's existence has only slightly accelerated this process.
At the end of the day, Roger was innocent and was shot while lying down.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Roger, who was using magic to cheat food and drink in a hotel in an unknown small city, was approached by Santa Claus again.
"Yo, here we go. Have you eaten breakfast, and if you don't have it, the cheese bread here tastes good. Roger, who was eating breakfast, glanced up at the opposite table when he heard the commotion at the table, and then turned his gaze to the book he was holding.
The book is small, only slightly larger than a palm, and the cover is pure white and wordless.
Santa Claus pulled out a chair and sat down, stared at Roger for a long time, and then said in surprise, "Are you really reading a book?" I didn't think a person of your character would do such a quiet thing. ”
The attitude of the two people is very casual, and the conversation is like a neighbor who has not seen each other for a long time and has come out to bump into each other, and they can't see that a cosmic event will happen today.
"Wisdom is the ladder of human progress, and it is important to absorb knowledge. Roger's eyes looked over the top of the page and looked at the old man.
"And what kind of book are you reading, why is there not a word on the cover?" asked Santa Claus.
Roger turned over the book with one hand and glanced at it, and said casually: "It's just an engineering book, just to pass the time." ”
"Engineering, you're reading such a boring book?" Santa's expression became even stranger, not that he suspected that the thing was blowing.
Because of Roger's actions just now, a corner of the page inside was exposed, and it was full of complex design drawings and various text instructions.
"I'm also proficient in chemistry (limited to all kinds of improvised bombs), biology (human physiology), and psychology, and I'll tell you?" Roger rolled his eyes at Santa Claus, stuffed the book into a small bag, and then said, "By the way, you also know that I can't be sent away by you now, why did you come here?"
