Chapter Forty-Eight: Modice's Promise
"Sure enough, it was him. Andrese lay back on the couch and didn't know what to mutter.
Shen Ming opened his mouth, but finally fell silent, he vaguely understood something, it seems that Andres was born in the world more than a hundred years ago, something must have happened in such a long time, and the principal is likely to be one of the parties.
Everyone has a past that they don't want others to know, and it's not a good thing to listen to someone else's past, and Shen Ming knows that it will make Andrese reopen that scar that she doesn't know if it's healed.
But when it comes to Lilith, although she doesn't care about her past, she still wants to understand what happened. This made Shen Ming's heart very entangled, and at this moment he didn't like his habit of exploring to the end.
"You won't like what I used to do, that sin that I can't wash away hundreds of times in hell. Looking at Shen Ming, although he didn't care, he looked at his inquiring gaze from time to time, and Andres opened her mouth leisurely.
"Isn't there still us with you?" Shi Shenming said with a sudden smile, and also held her in his arms, Andres, who was the size of Lori, was not big or small, and could just curl up in his entire arms. "Even if you do go to hell, I can find you. ”
Andres glanced at her eyes and pulled the corners of her mouth as if she wanted to smile, "You don't know my past. ”
"I don't care about your past. ”
"Don't you care if the person in your arms is a murderer?"
Shen Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed and suddenly said, "I know you're not right now." ”
“”
"In the City of Death incident more than a hundred years ago, there were more than 600,000 men, women, and children in the city, and none of them were alive, and not even a complete corpse could be found...... "Modis looked at Andres in Shenming's arms with complicated eyes, "Sixty years ago, a small city with a population of more than 400,000 in the south disappeared from the map. ”
Looking at Andres, who was getting more and more uneasy in his arms and holding on to his clothes tightly, Shen Ming could only slowly hug her tightly as if comforting.
"Although the incident was later suppressed by a huge organization, I was 'lucky' to witness a satellite photo of the incident, which was a terrifying monster more than five meters tall that seemed to be imprinted in my mind, like a demon crawling out of hell. Modis smiled and said to Andres, "I hope that monster is gone." ”
"That monster will never be there again. Shen Ming replied seriously in place of Lilith in his arms, looking up at Modis firmly.
"I hope so. ”
Modis nodded slightly, a little tired sitting on the sofa on the other side, lowering her eyes and not knowing what she was thinking, and Shen Ming was also a little unhappy, this matter was originally caused by them, if she hadn't brought Ekaliva and Andres here, the academy would not have been targeted by the Garden of Eden, and might even cause unforeseen disasters to the academy.
Perhaps a little guilty, Shen Ming looked at Modis with some apology in his eyes, especially after looking at her tired expression.
"There is no need to show this expression, if a college cannot even guarantee the students who want to enroll, we in Ilitri cannot be called one of the five colleges. As if sensing Shenming's gaze, Modis said a little helplessly, "However, we can only do our best. ”
Seriously, Shen Ming found that Modice's face was still very good-looking after putting down her strong and serious expression, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, and dense eyelashes on slender Danfeng eyes, giving people a taste of classical beauty.
"No, I'm going to leave soon. Andres whispered in Shenming's arms, "I'm not going to turn this place into a battlefield. ”
"It's not 'me', it's supposed to be 'we'. Hearing Andres's whisper, Shen Ming rubbed her soft hair and said helplessly.
"You're going to die, I can't protect you. "Andres wanted to refuse.
Shen Ming patted her cheek lightly and scolded half-jokingly, "Hey, do you look down on me like this? Let others think that I am just a coward who likes to hide behind women, and destroy my self-esteem as a man like this, and let people not live." ”
Stopped Lilith who wanted to say something, "A real strong man needs not only strength, but also the heart of a strong man, if I can't face this incident with you and the people I love, I think I will only live a more mediocre life in the future, it's better to die, my goal is to become a strong man standing at the top of the world." Shen Ming deliberately exaggerated to everyone like a second-year teenager.
"We will live, we will live well, believe me. "Finally, it was his firm promise.
Originally, Xia Yun could be regarded as an outsider, and Shen Ming also hoped that he would not come back to stir up this muddy water, but his words just now brought him into him, and also made him dispel Xia Yun's request to go back.
"Xiaoyun, I am an orphan and alone, but you are different, you still have a family. "But Shi Shenming still wants to try it in the end.
"Aren't you?" Xia Yun yelled a little annoyed, "And you're still my lover, don't you think it will make my heart ache if I keep me an outsider?"
Shen Ming opened his mouth, but in the end he could only turn into a wry smile.
"It's too late, do you think that when you leave, Eden won't deal with the Illitri Academy? Modice, who was half-squinting and pretending to sleep, said suddenly, but her eyes still did not open, but leaned back and chose a more comfortable position to lie on the sofa.
"We spent a lot of effort prying the woman's mouth open yesterday, but it's all useless information, Eden is going to make a big move this time. ”
Shen Ming knew that the woman that Modis was talking about was the only survivor of the few people sent by Eden to test them last time, the worm queen who was taken away by Edith.
"I also want to know how Worm is different from us, she is being 'studied' now. Modice said a little gloatingly, still repeating the word 'research' in a weird way.
Although Shen Ming didn't like the people who attacked them yesterday, he could still understand that the research that Modis said could be a kind of torture for a certain guy, and because Ekalisa and Andres also belonged to the identity of the insect queen, he had a feeling of sadness when he heard what Modis said, and he didn't want the two of them to be stripped naked and tied up in some research institute to be treated inhumanely.
Humans have always shown intense curiosity, fear, and cruelty towards non-human species.
As if sensing the strangeness of Shen Ming's expression, Modis raised his head slightly to look at him, "I think sometimes kindness is too much, and it's not a good thing. ”
"No, I don't have the character of a virgin, and I can tell the line between good and stupid, but I still hope that I don't take the lives of others. Shen Ming said calmly but seriously, he knew that some people would say that he was stupid at this time.
"Uh, hahaha. Modice suddenly laughed, "I suddenly realized that you should be defined as a, how to say, a good person, but not bad, I feel like I like you." ”
Looking at Modis who laughed without restraint and the words she suddenly said, Shenming became embarrassed
"You guys get ready, in case of any emergency, we will send you out, didn't you also say, the main goal of the Garden of Eden is her" Modis pointed at Andres, and then looked at a few people who were a little surprised and suddenly grinned, "But it's not for the Garden of Eden, I will naturally let you have a good place to go." ”
