Can you calmly use others as stepping stones to live?

Esther couldn't tell the answer to that question.

Of course, she is happy to be alive, to be able to enjoy the fragrance of flowers or sweets, to feel the sun, the cold wind or the crowds, it is all part of her life. But after this "resurrection from the dead", part of the naïve expectations for this world also died from her.

Now the premise of asking Esther to sacrifice for others is that the other party must be someone she values and cares about, and her remaining sense of justice and courage are not enough to support her to die at will.

She developed a stark fear of death.

I don't know how the captain is doing now......

Thinking so, Esther stepped out of the platform and sneezed under the foggy haze.

Although not as ferocious as the sandstorms I've never seen, the sticky mist that lingers in Beckland makes the clear blue sky here a joke.

Esther looked up at the nearby buildings, and occasionally saw a few Gothic buildings towering over the slopes: "No wonder the people of Beckland are so chatty, and Mr. Jacob is so fond of the Tingen sky." If I've lived here for a long time, I'll probably see a chair out on a sunny day until the sun leaves. ”

Xiao Qi pecked her ear: "Which district are you going to go to?" ”

"I wanted to go to the South District, but the pollution was worse than I thought, and the South District was probably even worse."

Xiao Wu, who was in his coat pocket, suddenly poked out half of his head: "We have a VIP passage in Beckland, so we can go to more interesting places." ”

"Ha, indeed, that's a lot of fun." Xiao Qi echoed with bad intentions.

The attitude of the two made Esther's inspiration instantly terrifying, and she shook her head again and again: "No, no, no, I'd better stay in Beckland first, I don't have your strange adventurous spirit." ”

"Hey, boring guy." Little Five shrank back, dismissive of Esther's admonition.

With a groan in her stomach, Esther's goal was to fill her stomach, and she walked two streets to find the cheapest-looking café and ordered a set meal with a sole ninepence and a staple sandwich.

This is already the cheapest one, and the only ones that are even cheaper are a variety of coffee or afternoon tea desserts, and it is not enough to fill your stomach.

Everything was expensive next to the station, and Esther was nostalgic for the prices of the Iron Cross.

Esther pulled out half a slice of bacon from her sandwich and gave it to Little Seven, who had been staring at her. However, this is a misunderstanding, Xiao Qi is purely observing Esther's reluctance to face full of flesh pain, but it is also happy to get some food from Esther.

There's no need to tell Esther that she can go out and find something to eat, like go to the dock to grab chips or something.

After fate was severed, Xiao Qi lost the ability to change back into human form, and his connection with the identity of "Amon" was forcibly severed, which is simply the ability of the "Trojan Horse of Fate" to retribution to himself.

Xiao Wu, who is still in the form of a Time Worm, is unaware of this.

Therefore, the name "Xiao Qi" is closer to his self-awareness than "Amon".

Seeing that Xiao Qi could accept bacon, Esther happily pulled a little more bread to it, and then pulled a corner of lettuce leaves, her face full of relief from feeding.

It wasn't until Xiao Qi viciously smacked her finger that Esther stopped this behavior of treating Xiao Qi as a pet.

Leaving the café, Esther walked into the nearby bookstore and picked out a detailed map of Beckland's transportation routes. The proprietor seemed to see that she was an out-of-towner, and enthusiastically stuffed Esther with a local guidebook about the many unique shops and well-known shows, and of course, charged Esther two pence.

Esther flipped through the manual, put her coat over her body, and pulled her cuffs in twice to facilitate her movements.

"The Return of the Count" is actually performed throughout the year, and there are always concerts, and there are even book signings for well-known novelists...... Rosanne will love the entertainment, how nice, is this the big city? ”

Esther picked up the map again, quickly determined her position, she rubbed her right eyebrow, and suddenly remembered what she had forgotten to ask before: "Xiao Qi, you are the 'decryption scholar' of Sequence Seven, right?" ”

"yes, someone told you when I was napping? There is such a knowledgeable guy among those night watchmen. ”

"Well, what is the sequence of Little Five?"

"It's the 'Dream Stealer' of Sequence Five, the transition from stealing ability to conceptualization."

Esther's eyes lit up: "It's a good name, it sounds very romantic!" ”

Xiao Qi choked and slapped the back of Esther's head with his wings: "No matter how good your extraordinary ability is, it's a waste to give you!" ”

Esther rubbed her fanned hair, and quickly analyzed the route to the south area of the bridge: "If I had a choice, I would definitely choose an easy way to pick up the wallet that fell from the sky on the way-"

Before she could finish speaking, a flower pot fell from the sky, and landed a step away from her feet.

Xiao Qi buried his face under his wings and laughed twice before saying, "Why don't you learn divination, calculate bad luck and make money." ”

"Forget it, no one wants to hear doom, everyone wants good luck," Esther looked up at the roof, and saw a balcony with several flower pots, a watering can peeking out from the fence, and an old woman holding it.

"Ma'am! Your flower pots! Esther cried out, and the passers-by glanced at what was going on and walked away.

The old woman poked her head out from between the fences, was surprised to see the broken clay pots and dirt on the ground, and hurriedly beckoned to Esther.

Soon the old woman came down from the stairs, still carrying a broom and a bucket, and Esther helped to bend down to hold the bucket, and the old woman quickly swept away all the debris and dirt from the ground.

"I'm sorry it didn't hurt you, did I? My husband was always stubborn and told him that it was dangerous to put a flower pot like this, but he would not listen. ”

"No, no, I'm fine," Esther patted the dust on her clothes, "I'm glad I didn't hit anyone." ”

The old woman nodded, apologetically took out two sules and stuffed them into Esther's hand: "Scared you, right?" I'm so sorry you take it, young man. ”

"It's—it's not going to—"

"You look like an outsider, smuggled out of your home, right? Hehe, who hasn't had a young and willful time? Think about me and my husband back then...... same way" The old woman smiled slyly, as if she had already made up a lot of romantic plots, but the deviation from reality was getting bigger and bigger.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Esther did not refuse, and took the two Sules into her arms under the satisfied eyes of the old woman, and then quickly said goodbye and went to the nearest "subway station".

Xiao Qi watched the sudden development of good fortune in a daze, and leaned into Esther's ear and whispered, "I know where you should go to make money." ”

Esther smiled and walked under the hazy and gloomy sky of Beckland, and the good thing of wealth from heaven was enough to keep her in a good mood for a while: "Huh? Do you have an idea? ”

"You should go to the casino."

“…… I shouldn't have counted on you. ”
