The Crucifixion Cross

"Yeah, very happy," Wendy smiled, and the corners of her mouth were full of happiness. "In the face of the happiness of all mankind, what is the happiness of one person? When I was in the room, I really wanted to cry, but as long as I think of everyone living a happy life in the future, tears and everything will disappear!"

"So... didn't you try to hate?"

"Why should I hate?" Wendy blinked slightly, and said quietly: "Even if I wanted to hate, who could I hate? Is it to hate the minister's grandfather who was holding back tears to complete the implant operation? To hate Parents who disappeared from this world after giving me talent? Or do I hate myself who refused to listen to the dean’s grandmother’s dissuasion and insisted on applying for the Valkyrie training school?”

She looked at the expressionless Youlandelle, but that faint smile was warmer than the brightest sunshine in winter:

"Without my father and mother, I would not have been born in this world. If I hadn't had my talent, I would not have been able to enter the Valkyrie Training Academy. Grandpa Minister wouldn't have been promoted to branch minister in just two or three years. , The orphanage I work in will not come out of the bad news of closing down so quickly... Sister Bianca, I am sincerely grateful for all of this."

"Including the misfortune that was imposed?"

"It's the luck I grabbed with my own hands." Wendy raised her head, looked directly into Ulandal's eyes, and said softly.

She held the cup lightly with both hands, and the faint blood color was revealed from the thin and almost transparent skin, which was as fragile and delicate as glass.

"You who were born in the headquarters, you must not be able to imagine how hard it is for us Valkyries from the 'colonies', right? Yes, on the surface, everyone is a Valkyrie fighting for the future of mankind and the world, and they all accept the Valkyrie We should have the same status and the same responsibilities for reconstruction surgery and stigmata implantation surgery, but in fact, is this really the case?"

Hualing's words: Where does the title come from? Old book friends who are more interested in romance novels should know it. I remember that I used similar titles before~

Chapter 13. 'Luck' caught by hand

Are Valkyrie and Valkyrie really equal?

No matter what the "Valkyrie" in this question is replaced with - even if it is replaced with "human" and "human", the answer will be "unequal".

Some are born with good looks, some are born with strength, some are born with intelligence, and some are born with money—for those who are born ugly, have little strength, are stupid, and come from poor families For human beings, there has never been a so-called 'all men are created equal' in this world.

In the future life, the gap brought about by 'inequality' will only continue to widen and cannot be narrowed. Even China, which has achieved the ultimate 'equality' by means of the college entrance examination, cannot get rid of the 'interpersonal gap'. is the curse of 'unequal' because that's what it is.

Human beings are still like this, the inequality among the Valkyries will only be exaggerated, because this profession has even stricter requirements on talents than competitive events-traditional sports and e-sports can produce shining talents every year, but the Valkyries are not so.

If the talent requirement for workers in ordinary industries is 10, then the talent requirement for athletes in competitive events is 60, and the talent requirement for Valkyrie is 95—the talent is slightly worse, and they don’t even have the qualifications to survive.

No one is more aware of the cruelty of this than Youlandelle, because she herself is a vested interest in this 'inequality'.

Talented people can enjoy better resources and get more attention from high-level people than those without talent since they were young. Their careers are smooth and their lives are perfect... Sorry, the life of the Valkyrie is full of holes and not perfect , but in any case, although the tasks performed by the high-level Valkyries above the A level are more difficult, the death rate is indeed much lower than that of the C-level and B-level Valkyries.

Ulandal herself is such a Valkyrie who enjoys 'inequality', so she is more qualified than anyone else to refute Wendy's words - yes, there is inequality between Valkyrie and Valkyrie, there is no talent In the eyes of the headquarters, the Valkyrie and the branch with poor resources are not even qualified to be 'companions', not even 'qualified subordinates', they... are just 'tools'.

Just like the B-rank and C-rank Valkyries in the eyes of the headquarters, they are worthless 'tools' that are barely preserved because they are still useful...

To Destiny——to Otto, they were just such existences.

"Valkyrie and Valkyrie are not equal, and branch and branch are also unequal," Wendy said quietly, holding a lemonade in her hand: "Valkyrie without talent is destined to live in more pain than Valkyrie with talent." , Branches with poor resources are destined to receive less support from the headquarters than branches with abundant resources, and there is no way to do this.”

She looked at the silent Youlandelle, and smiled softly:

"I discovered this when I was very young. It's not just me, other children are the same, but what can we do? Reality is not something you can change if you want to. Life, how can it be so easy ?Since you can’t resist, you can only accept it—rather than wasting time complaining to the headquarters about the scarcity of resources we have obtained, it’s better to use your own performance to tell the headquarters that we deserve more resources from you to cultivate.”

"So, is there a longing gem project?"

Youlandelle lowered her eyes and asked quietly.

"Yeah," Wendy smiled, "Didn't I say it? This is the 'luck' I grabbed with my own hands—the other branches probably don't have the guts to do it, right? The Herrscher Gem sounds terrible. Well, so what?"

She took a deep breath, and an inexplicable power seemed to be slowly emanating from that petite body.

It's brilliant, it's brilliant--

"If I become a qualified person who longs for gems, I can make everyone's life better, let the Valkyrie of the Oceania branch get more material resources, and let the children in the orphanage not have to live the first thing they wake up to tell the teacher every morning. The sentence is not 'teacher, has any sister left us forever?' but 'good morning' - even if it's just for this goal, I can do anything!"

Wendy's body trembled slightly, but not because of regret, not because of anger, not because of fear, but because of...happiness.

Yes, at this moment, the smile on the corner of her mouth is so happy and warm, as if even the ice and snow in the severe winter can melt together:

"What a beautiful day that would be, Sister Bianca... Just imagine that scene, and I don't think it's a big deal to lose my legs!"

"Is it just...imagination?" Youlandelle said quietly: "Is it enough to just 'think about'? Don't you want to use your own eyes to see such a beautiful future with your own eyes?"

"Because I'm timid," Wendy smiled softly, her eyes turned to Youlandelle, but her gaze had already fallen on that beautiful and even unrealistic future, "I'm timid, I've only The courage to 'imagine' is left... However, even if I can only outline the beauty of the future in my mind, I am already very satisfied."

She looked at her pale face reflected on the glass table, and smiled faintly:

"Happiness is a very precious thing, so I want to leave it to those who need it most."

"What about you?" Youlandell closed his eyes, and his voice was as calm as stagnant water, "Your figure has never appeared in the beautiful picture of the future you have outlined...?"

"A happy future will be created by us now," Wendy said lightly, "Since this is the case, wouldn't it be normal to use us who create the future as the price for the future? I understood a truth when I was very young : You have to pay to get. Since someone must sacrifice something to get, why can’t that person be me?”

"but--!"

Urandale gritted her teeth, and the rage of hatred surging deep inside her almost made her unable to restrain herself from slapping the table and cursing, 'Naive! ' The impulse, but she finally endured it.

Facing the happy and smiling Wendy, what can Ulandal say?

Use the most ruthless words to tell this girl who can sacrifice everything for a future without her own happiness. Even if you desperately fight for resources and supplies for the Oceania Branch, the final result will only make the Oceania Branch feel in Otto's heart. The status changed from 'the napkin that you throw away after wiping your hands' to 'the handkerchief that you can wash and use'?

Chapter 14.May the world be kind to you ([-] more)

"..."

Youlandelle had mixed feelings in her heart and didn't know what to say.

She has never been a bad-spoken person. She usually doesn't like to talk to others, not because she doesn't know how, but because she doesn't want to.

But this time, Ulandelle really didn't know that she should face Wendy.

People always say that a girl who loves to laugh must have good luck, but what about Wendy?

She is obviously a child who can laugh no matter how painful the future is, but can her luck really be said to be "not bad"?

Perhaps in Wendy's own eyes, she is already very happy?

It's just paying a pair of legs, but in exchange for the prosperity of the entire branch... Is there a more cost-effective deal than this?

There won't be any?

In the face of the happiness of hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people, what is a mere pair of legs?

There is no doubt that Wendy is a smart girl, otherwise how could she come up with such a perfect answer?

Perfect...doesn't even have the courage to be questioned.

If Bianca Atagina, instead of Yolandelle, was sitting here, she would definitely slap the table angrily and tell the truth that no one else would know. However, Yolanda Lauder couldn't do it.

No matter what, she couldn't make up her mind to tear up Otto's lies, that would be too cruel for Wendy...

In the eyes of outsiders, Youlandelle is as hard as iron and as cold as steel, but deep down in her heart, the figure of the girl who learned how to take care of flowers and plants with her friends in the orphanage has never disappeared.

And finally, Urandale said:

"—May the world be kind to you."

She raised her head and drank the lemonade in the glass in a rather generous gesture.

"???"

Wendy blinked her big eyes, not understanding why Urandale suddenly became sentimental.

"Don't worry about it, just think I'm out of my mind," Urandale sighed, "I'm sorry, I suddenly said something nonsense."

"Ow~"

Wendy responded softly, she naturally knew that Ulandal had no malice towards her, even though there seemed to be blazing iron and fire hidden in her eyes when she looked at her for a moment just now, Wendy's heart towards her 'Sister Bianca' still can't be hated.

Perhaps, this is the so-called 'naturally likable' guy?

Different from me, lucky guy...

Wendy flattened her mouth, and suddenly started chewing, stuffing her small mouth with crocodile salad.

The milky white salad dressing overflowing from her lips made Ulandal frowned. Perhaps Wendy herself didn't realize it, but Ulandal, who had been devoting herself to studying romance novels, felt that this scene was much more filthy and filthy.

Feeling that she couldn't let the flowers be polluted, Ulandelle took out a tissue from under the dinner plate, and wiped all the salad dressing off Wendy's lips with ease.

"Don't worry, I don't have a very good appetite. The ones I've eaten just now are full, and I won't compete with you."

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

What responded to Ulandal was a chewing sound that made people feel uncomfortable.

But fortunately, this is much more acceptable than the scene just now...

Youlandelle shook her head, casually picked up a copy of "Ocean Style" from the bookshelf beside her, and began to read it.

Opposite her, the Maiden of the Wind, whose mouth was already full of crocodile meat, was worrying about the two-thirds of the kangaroo meat left on the plate...

Halfway through the page, Urandale suddenly pressed the page, as if just remembering something, and said to Wendy who was struggling to fight the crocodile meat:

"Oh, by the way, although you keep calling me 'Sister Bianca', your actual age should be older than me..."

"...?!"

"My birthday is January 2000, 1? Although the month and date are filled in blindly, the year should be correct. As far as I know, the standard A-level Valkyrie registration age of Destiny is 1 years old. As far as I know , besides me, there should be no one who has broken this rule, so I'm sorry, your 'sister', it's probably for nothing~"

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!!!!"

……

Full of wine and food... What a fart!

14-year-old and 15-year-old girls, who dares to let them drink?

Anyway, the owner of the restaurant didn't dare, and Ulandal wisely didn't make such an excessive request that might cause the boss to get involved in the extreme east. After paying the bill, she and Wendy prepared to leave.

Changing her action state from 'sit down' to 'stand up', this action that ordinary people only need one second to complete, Wendy spent a full 3 minutes...

During this period, Ulandal wanted to take the initiative to help Wendy up countless times, but she held back after all.

Suppressing the urge to look back, Ulandelle supported her body with her arms, laying on the glass table at the counter, waiting for the moment when the voice from behind calmed down.

When Wendy's shortness of breath finally calmed down, Yolandelle pretended to have just paid the bill, and waved "Ocean Style" on her hand to Wendy.

"It's getting late, if you go to the town now, you should still have time to see some interesting things."

Wendy didn't reply right away, but just looked at Youlandelle quietly, and suddenly smiled.

"You...what are you laughing at?" Urandale frowned, feeling uncomfortable wherever Wendy's gaze swept her.

"It's nothing."

Wendy shook her head, supported the cold edge of the table with her hands, and slowly approached Yolandal in a way that was more like a 'move' than a 'walk'.

At the moment when her right hand lost its support, Wendy's body shook slightly——

In an instant, Ulandal took a step forward at a speed so fast that even she was a little surprised, and supported the precarious Wendy.

"I said, you..."

Ulandelle frowned, but Wendy wiped away all the rest of the preaching with one hand—that small, pale and slender hand, caressing the gorgeous coral-colored long hair.

"Bianca, what a gentle and good child~"

The girl's voice was thin and thin, like a dream in a nap, slipping away from her fingertips if she didn't pay attention.

Urandale was slightly taken aback——

"What are you talking about, idiot."

"This 'stupid' is also very gentle~"

Wendy suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, "Hey hey~" and laughed.

This devilish laughter made Yolandelle's brows move closer to the middle again, but after a moment of hesitation, Yolandelle finally sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, as you like..."

Urandale gave up resistance, but...it was just giving up 'resistance' from Wendy's 'sister's majesty'.

Hua Ling’s words: I always believe that there are no hydrology writers and writers who can’t write good things in this world, only writers who don’t work hard to update, so...well, it doesn’t matter whether it’s water or not, it’s just Because Chengzi said that double is more likely to win the next round of big bookshelves, so this book will be double updated for a period of time from today.

The update node is around [-]:[-] noon and around [-]:[-] pm, eh!

Chapter 15. The 'Provocation' of Ulandale ([-] more)

Destiny's people are dog-like plasters, and Ulandal has a very deep understanding of this, because she herself has this tendency when performing tasks.

As the saying goes, 'the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked', all the dignified S-levels are like this, and the people below are no exception, and almost all of them have fully used the skill of 'holding on to death'.

This was the case in Europe, and it is still the case in Oceania.

In the time it took to eat, Ulandal handled at least seventeen Honkai-powered detectors.
