[Comprehensive] Cardiac Arrest

×××

……

After some days, Fengxin's injury finally healed.

Even though she was in a bad mood, she returned to her original life.

Today, as usual, she came to Lian's shop with the Demon Stone. While waiting for him to complete the identification work, she kept staring at the white piece of paper in her hand.

It was the life card that Rose gave her, and the life card was slowly moving on the palm of her hand, dutifully telling her where Luo was.

According to the villagers, people in this world will not easily hand over their life cards to others. After all, life cards have the ability to find a person in this big world, and since the exchange of life cards, that person's location is in another For a person, there is nothing to hide.

So exchanging life cards in this nautical world also means not wanting to lose contact with someone no matter what.

It is a desire to regard the other party as an important existence.

But looking at Luo's life card, looking at his heart, Feng Xin's eyes, which should be happy, are a little dim.

Because she knew what Luo wanted from her, but she couldn't satisfy him.

Whether it's being together all the time or simply confessing her past to him, she can't do it.

First of all, her body has been in a rather strange state.In addition to her lack of heartbeat, her recovery ability is also deteriorating. Just like Luo said, she is usually like a dead person.

How should a dead person promise a living person?

Because of her physical condition, she was still unable to get along with Luo honestly, and she could not give any response to his idea of ​​"will always be together in the future".

And secondly, even she knew that one day, she would be separated from Luo.

This day may be when Luo becomes more mature a few years later, or it may be the day when her body collapses, or it may be the day when any opportunity arises—in any case, she will always leave this village, and she will go The road of Luo will definitely be different from that of Luo, she has always thought so.

The point is that she has no clues, so she doesn't know how to start the path she should take.

But this confused heart finally gave an answer that night, when Luo missed the appointment and was unable to go home.

That day, although she told Luo that she fell off a cliff after hearing a strange sound and was attacked by a monster, it was actually not that simple.

Although she did encounter Youmeng on the way to find the sound, and even though she slipped and fell off the cliff during the battle, the sound appeared again after that——

And that was the clue she was waiting for.

Feng Xin stared at the life card in his hand, and that voice, that child's voice, echoed in his mind.

Yes, although she never told anyone about it, she used to actually stay and work in an institute.And in her research institute, the children in it all have special abilities—they are different from devil fruit users, their abilities are innate, and their abilities are even more special.

The research institute is essentially a secret underground organization, which locks up children for various training and research. If those children are chosen, as long as the other party can afford the price, no matter how the other party will use the children to work, The children will be sold by the research institute.

At that time, as a staff member of the research institute, she witnessed so many cruel incidents, and her desire to save the children of the research institute and herself also germinated at that time.

Gradually, this idea became an agreement between her and those children, and this agreement will not change even if she is reborn or is no longer on that island.

As for the fact that she has been staying on Swallow Island for the past few years without taking any action, it is only because she has no way of knowing about the affairs of the research institute, she has no clue, and she doesn't even know whether the time point she traveled to is still related to that research institute. That's all.

But she heard it that night—it was clearly the voice of the child with teleportation ability in the research institute.

He was calling on her for help, just like the day the institute exploded all those years ago.

Therefore, Fengxin also knows that she can no longer watch Luo grow up leisurely, it is time for her...

"What are you thinking? The serious expression is scary."

Lian over there has already identified the Yaomeng stone, and was about to put the money into Fengxin's hands, but was stopped by Fengxin who reacted.

"I don't need cash, you can use this money to prepare a boat for me."

"Boat?" Lian raised her brows, "What do you want a boat for?"

"Of course the boat is used to go to sea." Fengxin raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a look of a fool, then stood up again: "The boat is enough for me alone, it must be a submarine, because I can't bear the sun on the sea surface."

"Are you going to..."

"That has nothing to do with you." She casually picked up her parasol placed in the corner, and thought for a while: "The rest of the remuneration should be left to Luo to make a boat he likes. He should also go to sea, and you will give him the boat when the time comes."

……

dusk.

After Fengxin made his decision, he bid farewell to Lian, and before going home, he thought of her who had made another promise, and made a detour to buy some tools.

"Why did you come back so late?"

"The number of stones that need to be identified today is a bit too much." Fengxin replied calmly, shaking the paper bag in his hand: "And I also went a long way to buy some things."

"What did you buy?" Luo looked back at her.

"I'll give you the tools for tattooing." She put the paper bag near the dining table: "I promised you earlier."

Luo widened his eyes slightly, and was about to say something, but when he saw her walk into the bathroom with a tired face, he swallowed all the words.Instead, he focused his gaze on the tattoo tool in the corner of the dining table, feeling itchy in his heart.

...That guy, do you remember?After she disappeared, she had been avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and he thought there was still some time for a cold war between them.

Luo silently looked at the crucian carp in his hand, thought for a while, and decided to cook dinner as soon as possible—thinking that Feng Xin would give him a tattoo tonight, he was in a good mood.

The dinner that day was Fengxin's favorite stew. Luo's cooking skills are getting better and better recently. Looking at the salad, grilled fish and stew on the dining table, Fengxin unconsciously thought of three When I first picked up Luo back years ago, because the two of them didn't know how to handle housework, the dishes that appeared on the dinner table every day were the same.

"Do you use the knife I gave you last time?"

"You said it was that guy?" Luo, who was stuffing a mouthful of grilled fish, had puffy cheeks. Hearing Feng Xin's question, he turned his finger back to the long black knife that was resting on the edge of his bed, and quickly swallowed the food again. Go on: "Use it, it's a very good guy!"

"It's called Ghost Cry." Fengxin sensed the joy in Luo's eyes, and his eyes softened unconsciously: "Although it is a demon sword, it has been specially treated. As long as you have a certain bond with the sword, Just don't untie the sword hoop from the hilt, and there will be no problem."

"How did you get him?" Luo raised the corner of his mouth, he was very curious about this matter.

"I saw this knife from Lian's treasury, so I asked him to come back." Feng Xin replied.

And Luo widened his eyes slightly, thinking of the man who owed a beating, although every time he heard his name from Fengxin's mouth, he would be quite upset, but thinking that this was the sword that Fengxin specially helped him get back, he was not happy with that man. Forget it too.

Luo chewed the fish in big mouthfuls, then curled up the corners of his mouth, chattering with Feng Xin about his recent affairs.

For example, how did they complete the commission from the neighboring village with Beipo and the others last time, what kind of stupid things did Beibo and the others make, what level of ability does the new ghost cry have, and so on.

In front of Fengxin, he unreservedly reported everything about himself. Occasionally, Luo's expression was as happy as a child who had been praised. Sometimes he couldn't help but quarrel with Fengxin, and sometimes he would show annoyance when he was stunned by her. expression.

Fengxin always listened to him quietly, and occasionally gave some calm responses.

"Those guys said they want to come and meet you next time."

"What do I need to know?"

"They are annoying, you just cooperate."

"Okay." Looking at Luo's expression, he suddenly remembered how he was hugged by the three children that evening, Feng Xin finally agreed.

Anyway, she also wanted to see what kind of friends Luo Xin made.

……

Dinner time ended peacefully, because Luo was cooking today, so Fengxin took the initiative to help wash all the dishes—during this period, she asked Luo to take a bath first, and then mentally prepare for the tattoo.

As for getting mentally prepared for taking a bath, Luo is of course fine. He has always been looking forward to the tattoo, and even told Feng Xin the pattern he wants to get tattooed a long time ago.

So, he took a serious shower again, and came out of the bathroom with wet hair.

"Why did you put your clothes on? Take them off."

... Then, at the moment Fengxin told him "take off your clothes" with a flat expression on his face, he realized what a terrible request he had made to Fengxin.

In a house with only the two of them alone, a man and a widow, let a woman tattoo on his chest.

Recalling a time when he applied medicine to her, Luo, who had just taken a bath, felt an indescribable heat rushing around in his body—making his face flush.

"Why are you standing here in a daze? Let you take off your clothes."

"...Wait, can I go back on my word?"

"What nonsense, I bought all the tools back."

"but……!"

Looking into the eyes of the female man, Luo felt that those dirty thoughts could not be brought out. Although he wanted to take off his clothes simply, he didn't have any confidence in himself——

He, he is shy!

On the other hand, Feng Xin who was standing in front of Luo stared at him with a look of invincibility, saw that he had only taken off half of his clothes, and was dawdling, so he sighed and carried him without saying a word. He got up and threw him on the bed, and reached out helplessly and irritably to use Yetu's strange strength to take off his clothes and throw them aside.

"Hey, what are you doing all of a sudden?!"

Luo, who was thrown on the bed, was taken aback, and didn't know where to put his hands. He was about to get up and explain, but Feng Xin tied his hands up before he could resist.

The latter's expression was full of disgust: "How old are you, are you still shy? Or are you afraid of pain?"

"No, it's not this question...you stupid woman!" Luo blushed and yelled, didn't she feel shy? !

"Anyway, I'm going to start, and it's too late to regret it now, because I've already prepared the tattoo just now." Feng Xin said coldly, and slapped Luo's chest without hesitation, calling He felt the burning pain: "As a man, if you are afraid, don't be brave and say you want to get tattoos. Since you can't make up your mind to this level, I have to teach you this lesson today."

"...Wait, that's not what I meant...you brainless woman!" Luo stared at the girl who had even started to tie her hair into a bun with a bewildered look on her face, and decided to learn to suppress her mind in despair. strange thoughts.

Calm down, calm down, it's just an ordinary tattoo... just imagine Feng Xin abusing him every day.

It's fine!She's just doing a normal tattoo on herself!It's just a tattoo!It's fine!

His little brother must not get nervous at a time like this... Woohoo!

However, before Luo could comfort himself, the girl suddenly climbed onto his bed and sat down on his abdomen.

Luo, who felt a burst of softness landing on his abdomen, was taken aback, and started to scream again: "Wow...how did you sit on me so well!!!"

"I have short hands, so I can't finish it sitting on the bed." Feng Xin said with a calm face, "Who made you grow taller during this time?"

"You, you... just give me a good time..." Luo closed his eyes and passed out.
