Time in a collapsing world

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Teofil. The girl did not make any unnecessary moves when they were alert. She did not speak or run away. She just sat there with her hands tightly protecting herself. She was just an ordinary girl who was scared to death by a stranger.

"Miss, please don't worry, we are not bad people..." It was Youhen who came forward to negotiate with her. Facing Teofel, who might be a survivor of the Honkai disaster, he tried to keep his tone gentle to prevent any harm to her. Second scare.

"..."

Teofel pursed his lips and said nothing, but cast his pitiful gaze towards Li who was squinting at her in silence in the distance, and stretched out a hand to point.

"Ah...ah..."

Unexplained sounds came out of his mouth.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Li, wondering about the relationship between him and the girl they met by chance.

"Alas...Long time no see, Teofel, weren't you living well with your uncle and aunt when we were separated? Why are you unconscious here?" Li showed a troubled expression. In the eyes of others, he He has a certain relationship with Theophel, but for some reason Li can't get to know him directly.

Is there a story behind this?

"..."

Kosmo, who spoke little but was very active in his mind, immediately used his brain to make associations.

Li and this girl are childhood sweethearts who have known each other since childhood. The girl is the apple of a couple's eye, and Li is their adopted son from outside by chance. After a long period of getting along, the girl has also grown to know her brother. He began to have a certain relationship, but Li didn't want to face this relationship. In order to escape this relationship, he even said goodbye to his adoptive parents and went out to work hard. He hoped that the long separation could extinguish the girl's taboo feelings for him, but it was a pity. , meeting again after so many years, the girl obviously has not really forgotten him, that's why Li showed such a troubled expression.

It's a good script, but it's a pity that he didn't say it out loud, otherwise Li could just move it in. He was still worried about how to explain the relationship between him and Theophel before sending him away normally.

"Li, someone you know?"

Kevin looked at Li who was walking towards the girl and said strangely.

"Yes, we met a long time ago."

Li passed by Hen's side, squatted down in front of the girl whose expression gradually changed from fear to surprise, stared at her fiercely, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Disobedient!"

"Woo..."

The girl immediately lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake, but one hand grabbed the corner of Li's clothes. In the eyes of others, this small gesture was enough to prove that her relationship with Li was indeed legitimate.

As a result, everyone looked at Li even more strangely. Although there was some suspicion of slander, in the relationship between the two of them, Li really seemed to be a scumbag who started to get into trouble and then gave up.

"died……"

Theophel was answering Li's previous question. Following Li's words, she revealed the news that her "parents" were dead.

"How? Who did it?"

Seeing that Teofel cooperated with his performance, Li was relieved and continued to ask.

"..."

Theofel hesitated for a few seconds, thinking about whose head she should put the blame on, but Jianli quietly made a few mouth gestures and quickly followed it: "Beng... Hui..."

"Tsk, damn Honkai..."

Li took advantage of the situation and showed a hateful expression.

"whispering sound……"

Qianjie, who knew it, couldn't stand Li's performance anymore, so he turned his head directly, out of sight and out of mind.

Is he really a survivor of the Honkai disaster?

The other members of the second team nodded secretly, this was indeed in line with their guess.

"Take her back? Li, if she is someone you know, she should be able to get good treatment from Fire Chasing Moth." Hen asked.

"No, there's no need to take her back." Li shook her head and refused: "She also has an aunt. I'll take her there first and ask her if she can be adopted. If that doesn't work, I'll bring her back."

"But she doesn't seem to agree?"

Hen looked at the girl shaking her head wildly, and the uncle who had his own daughter immediately softened his heart.

"Aunt...Mom...will...beat...me..."

From Teofel's known knowledge, humans should not send themselves to families with domestic violence tendencies.

"As long as I'm here, she won't dare to hit you."

Li understood what she was thinking, so she assured her loudly in front of everyone.

"You...will...leave..." Teofel held Li's hand, "I...don't...want...you...leave..."

The pun made Li swallow the next words in her mouth.

"...A new romantic debt?"

Hen frowned, and he found that he was becoming more and more unhappy with this kid Li.

"I'm just a sister..."

Li waved his hand with a headache. In front of everyone, he couldn't show too much impatience to send Theofel away. This would only make them suspicious, especially Kevin, who was now frowning at Teofel. The sliver of white exposed at Ophir's collar was her armor, which was simply covered by her human clothes.

Li quietly lifted up Teofel's collar, and whispered: "Be obedient, be good, I order you as the master not to be exposed to human eyes again."

"don't want……"

Theofel shook his head, "I... want... to... follow... you..."

"I might not be able to protect you in the city..."

Li said in a strong tone: "You are not allowed to follow me anyway."

"Then...I...stole...stole..."

What this means is that even if Li doesn't take her away, she will go alone... no, a beast will run to find Li.

As deep as the relationship between her closest relatives and loved ones is, so is the relationship between her and Li. Under some strange link, this kind of emotion has not weakened at all over time, but has become more and more intense. Under such circumstances, how could she want to separate from Li again?

"..."

Li stared at her fiercely, and she was not to be outdone. She stared at him with her blood-red pupils, but the slight trembling in her pupils still showed her inner nervousness.

"Oh... disobedient..."

Sighing tiredly, Li was the first to be defeated, "You can follow me, but you must not act without permission, and you must not violate what I said in the future."

"it is good……!"

Theophel's voice became louder, and even his eyes became slits with laughter.

"Oh, another good sister..."

Hen's tone became a little sinister as he watched Li pull up the girl and lead her over.

Although he also hoped that this cute girl would get her wish, when he actually saw her and Li Yi walking over one after another, for some reason, his back molars were almost broken.

Very contradictory, isn't it?
