At the same time, Lizi also heard a voice suddenly sounded in her heart.
——Now treat me as an ordinary person.
So Lizi nodded and smiled.
After she resigned, she underwent an operation under the arrangement of Jian Hui, and removed all the mechanical parts buried in her body when she was a special operations officer, including transmitters, alarms, and all the unexplainable things, so now she faces Zion , on the contrary became much calmer.
Lizi always thought that the visitor from the other side might not be scary.
Her pressure never came from Zion.
Zion didn't know about Lizi's change, and was quite curious about the girl who suddenly appeared next to Lizi. She looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.
"Who is this...? Is it your daughter?"
It was a girl with pink hair, looking sad, her mouth was pursed, and she said nothing.Only one pair of eyes occasionally look into the distance without focus, showing an empty look.
Lizi shook her head and followed Zion.Zion is tall and tall, much taller than Lizi.She wanted to see Zion up close, but she had to look up.
"She's my friend's daughter."
"Then why did you come here with you...? It's not peaceful here."
TPC is definitely not a good place to go, let alone the South Kuril Islands have just suffered a catastrophe.From time to time, you can hear the roar of helicopters in the sky, and the traffic of warships and tanks.
"Sit down and talk, okay?"
Lizi please.
Zion nodded.
The two found a late-night roadside stall and sat down.
"Sorry, it's not as luxurious as before."
After Lizi ordered something casually, she apologized.
"It's okay, I think it's fine, thank you... For me, the food is about the same." No, the past 20 years of peaceful eating and living told him that's not the case.
But now, the appearance on the surface...it is still necessary to pretend!
The middle-aged boss answered, and began to fetch flour and eggs, and fried tempura.This is a kind of Japanese snack, which Zion has never eaten before.
Seeing the smile on the man's face, he was a little curious, and while turning the hot teacup in his hand, he asked:
"The monster just attacked here, are you still in business?"
"A lot of people have asked me this question! Life has to go on, and people are not machines." Recently, there are many people from other places, and it seems that people here have been asked many times.He laughed and said, "Because of this, entertainment activities are even more indispensable!"
Lizi shook her head:
"You can also earn more. Now the price is many times higher than before and in other places."
The boss let out a haha:
"It's risky after all! Recently, the prices are not right. I really can't help it. I'm sorry."
Lizi didn't bother, and drove away a bug that had fallen on the hair of the girl beside her, and suddenly laughed:
"In the past, I was most worried about these little bugs and flies, and I was even more angry when I was stung. Now I see that these things still exist, and I feel a little relieved."
It shows that the animals have not yet escaped by instinct.
If they are all gone... Then basically something big is going to happen, like before Minegola landed.
She shook her head and introduced to Zion:
"The child's name is Xinjo Akane, and he is now at the age of high school."
The girl who was called Akane Shinjo was told her name, and she kept her head down without saying a word, showing a feeling of autism that completely refused to communicate.
"It's the best time in one's life." Zion squeaked, didn't think about it, drank some hot tea, and felt a little emotional, "If you don't go to school well, why did you bring it here?"
"Because she's already...alone."
Zion stopped the cup in his hand, and the water in the cup calmed down.
"Is it Godzilla time?"
Lizi nodded.
"It was summer vacation, and Akane was attending a funeral in the country. Her parents were in Edo."
At night, the wind is strong and the autumn is bleak. You can hear the sound of people getting drunk in the distance, the sound of barbecue nearby, and the sound of aircraft flying in the sky.
"You also know the situation at that time. Godzilla emitted intense nuclear radiation and magnetic interference, which severely interfered with communication, and many devices were unusable. Somehow, no one could find it. There was only one suspected corpse , was scorched by the N2 thunderstorm.”
Zion still remembers what happened at that time.
Zion wanted to kick the N2 mine away, but Godzilla detonated it directly at low altitude.In the case of low-altitude detonation, the N2 mine explosion has a larger killing radius on the city.
"Does she know this?" Are you saying that right here?
Zion signaled the existence of Akane Shinjo to Lizi.
He was a little worried that he would irritate the child.
Lizi sighed:
"This child actually knows everything. At that time, when dealing with...the body, the family members needed to confirm it. Originally, she called her mother, but she passed by herself. She went to confirm whether the charred body was hers. Father's... I can be considered a person who was born in a peaceful era, and I have never experienced such a thing."
Zion also had a hard time imagining the scene at that time. He only heard Lizi pick something up, and after it cooled down, she fed it to Qian:
"And now, she basically doesn't listen to the outside world. The doctor said that she didn't pay attention to the outside world at all, but was thinking about her own things, immersed in her own world. The psychologist said that she suffered from an atypical Depression, need to go out more. I pulled her out forcibly."
"Where's her mother?"
Zion asked.
"I don't know." Lizi shook her head, supported her chair, and looked at the stars in the sky. "After her father died, her mother ran away. I heard that she went to Hezhong."
Afterwards, the Minigra incident occurred in Hezhong, so I completely lost contact with her.
"I don't worry about her going to school alone. The school she went to before was also a temporary centralized girls' school rebuilt in a nearby city after the Edo disaster, and it didn't work at all."
In fact, according to the teacher, Akane Shinjo was completely isolated from the children.Akane Shinjo seems to have always wanted to befriend a popular girl at school, but it didn't work out.After that, she became depressed and kept herself locked at home.
When Lizi saw her again, she was already suffering from severe depression, and she didn't even want to leave the house.
In medicine, depression and autism are two symptoms.
Autism is congenital, there is no cure, only relief.Depression is acquired and can be solved by taking medicine.But Akane Shintiao does not take medicine, and she is determined not to take it.
"Are you afraid of her being ostracized?"
Zion said.
"It's already..."
"I heard that there are many such things in the human world. It is really bad and needs to be learned."
After Zion finished speaking, he fisted.
"Don't...don't..."
Lizi quickly tried to persuade her, but she was almost scared to death.If this fist passes by, the whole school and everyone in it will probably fly up!
Fortunately, Zion just stood up, walked up to Akane Shinjo, and stretched out his hand:
"Hello."
The girl didn't even look at him.
Zion smiled and didn't care, just patted her on the shoulder and said softly:
"come on!"
She said nothing.
Lizi sat there, holding Qian's hand:
"Actually, I don't think it's the children's fault. Because they grew up in an era of monsters, they are destined to face greater pressure from parents and pressure from society. They are... Young people who grew up in the age of monsters. They and I can be regarded as two kinds of people in this world. I have experienced or seen many setbacks and hardships in life or other people's lives, and they are only on campus and don't need to worry about anything. Logically speaking, I should be pessimistic, and they should be optimistic. Because they still have many possibilities in the future, we are destined to dedicate ourselves here and dedicate everything to them."
Lizi smiled.
"But I found that these children are more painful than us. Because we still have memories and hope pinned on them, but they only have a hopeless way forward."
Somehow, in front of Zion, Lizi had a lot to say.
"really."
When Zion sat down again, he replied softly.
After eating quickly, the two continued to walk, taking a depressed girl with them.
"In the era when I was born and grew up, the world is so beautiful! People have countless hopes. After decades, they landed on the moon again, extended their hands to Mars, and began to build scientific research sites. I graduated The whole country cheered. People rubbed shoulders with each other in high spirits. People rushed to tell each other in the streets and alleys. On the Internet and paper media, even the most ignorant and naysayers were imagining the future and thinking about the future. Things about technology... Sir, you must not understand, right?"
Zion actually understood.
Even in the era where Zion was originally located, humans have not yet been able to land on the moon for the second time!It's just that Shenzhou O ascended to the sky, which made Zion so excited that he couldn't sleep all night when he was a child.
But at this time, he just listened to Lizi silently, and squeaked again.
But Lizi felt that she might have said too much, so she quickly apologized.
Zion asked her:
"After that, Xintiao Qian, where are you going to take her? I think the original school will only stimulate her."
"My idea is to let her receive treatment at TPC. TPC also adopts and trains orphans. Akane is actually a very talented child. I heard his father boast that she has an extraordinary ability in both computer and manual work. ability. I think she can come out."
"I understand."
Zion also thinks this is a good way out.
In the past, Zion heard from Aya that Lizi was also autistic when she was young.With hypermemory, she is very clumsy in other things, so she has no confidence. The less confidence she has, the weaker she is and the easier it is to be bullied.
The night was getting late, and more and more strange and unprecedented stars were shining high in the sky.Three people were walking on the street with neon lights.
Qian was between the two of them, holding Lizi's hand, and somehow touched Zion suddenly.
Zion lowered her head, and she became that self-closing look again.
After walking for a while, Lizi said goodbye because it was too late.
Before Zion came out, there was also a card provided by TPC that he could swipe, but if he swiped it, it would probably be recorded in the TPC file for personality analysis.
