I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

Not

If she does that, it'll be a complete breakdown in relations. And then there'll be a whole host of problems later…

At this moment, the little girl really wished there was a Theresa in front of her, because that would make things much easier.

After all, it's common knowledge that W is Theresa's biggest fan, and a super one at that.

"what happened?"

When Niyan returned with the hot water, he looked at the little guy covering his face, a hint of doubt flashing in his scarlet eyes, and then asked.

Upon hearing Mudrock's voice, Gretchen slowly lowered her hand, then looked at her with her beautiful, large violet eyes and asked:

"I just suddenly thought of something... So, Sister Mudrock, what did you see in the painting? And what questions do you have?"

"Here, be careful, it's hot..."

Upon hearing this, Niyan did not rush to explain his problem, but instead handed over the water glass in his hand.

"Yes, thank you, Sister Mud Rock."

After watching Gretchen take the water glass, Mudrock carefully sat down beside her and continued to voice his doubts:

"I saw the future in that painting? I'm confused. I want to know if it's real? If it is, why didn't I see you?"

After she finished speaking, Mudrock slowly turned her head and looked at Gretchen beside her with her beautiful eyes, which were filled with a hint of doubt and confusion, waiting for her answer.

"Um... actually, strictly speaking, I don't know." After organizing her thoughts for a moment, Gretchen finally spoke.

Then, perhaps realizing she hadn't explained herself clearly, the little girl added:

"Because it was painted with your colors, Sister Mudrock, I wouldn't know the content. Well... to be precise, I don't know the content of any painting painted with other people's colors."

"Everyone's color is unique."

After hearing Gretchen's explanation, Mudrock frowned slightly and replied in a low voice, "I see... That's really amazing."

"However, while I can't be sure of the exact effect of the painting, some of my previous paintings have indeed had a 'prophetic' effect. So, Sister Mudrock, can you tell me what you saw?"

As she spoke, Gretchen blinked her large violet eyes and looked at Mudrock with anticipation. She looked incredibly cute.

"Yes, I saw it in that painting. It showed how I and my team left the Reunion Movement for some reason. A lot happened afterward, and I met many people, but..."

At this point, Niyan paused, glanced at his comrades gathered around another campfire not far away, and then continued:

"But...we were caught up in various conflicts and lost many comrades. In the end, my teammates' illnesses got worse and worse, and in order to treat them, I accepted an invitation and joined an organization called Rhodes Island with them."

"Well……"

After listening to Mudrock's story, Gretchen's big eyes sparkled.

Although it wasn't explained in great detail, the little girl was pretty sure that what Mudrock saw in the painting this time was a future in which she wasn't originally involved.

"If this were the future, what choice would Mudrock make this time?" Gretchen asked Mudrock with some curiosity.

Although the little girl had been muttering that she wanted to leave Mudrock and the others in the Reunion Movement.

But if they really decide to leave, Gretchen won't say anything, and might even choose to support them.

After all, in her view, everyone has the right to choose... Although she longed for people to stay, it was just a longing.

Moreover, even the little girl had to admit that compared to Rhodes Island, the conditions here at Reunion were far inferior in every aspect...

Although Mebius may provide help and treatment later, that's a matter for later... Until then, no one can stop a group of patients from pursuing their right to treatment and a peaceful life.

Moreover, if Mudrock chooses to stay, he will lose the new teammates he originally planned to meet in the future.

Of course, if he chooses to leave and Gretchen doesn't get involved in what happens next... Mudrock will also lose many old comrades and friends in the conflict.

But that's the nature of choices, choices with gains and losses. However, if necessary, that little girl will still intervene... after all, children can't bear to see tragedy.

"Me? I don't know yet..."

P.S.: My heart is really aching. Didn't the railway live stream give away 10 tickets tonight? But the prerequisite was reaching level 10, and I was only level 9 today, so I missed it... It's really heartbreaking. But I'm too busy...

Goodnight, I'm going to sleep now.

Give it a push.

Chapter 99 Resonance and Intimacy

"Me? I don't know yet..."

Upon hearing this, Niyan stared at the campfire in front of him, his eyes somewhat confused, and said...

If everything unfolds as she saw in the painting, she might eventually leave the Reunion Movement.

Of course, having known about the crisis in advance, Mudrock will definitely lead his comrades to avoid those conflicts and dangers.

However, this is only a hypothetical situation… Mudrock’s intuition tells him that many things have already changed. Moreover, Gretchen, a character who is not in the painting at all, has appeared.

She always felt that with this little one by her side, Talulah, as the leader of the Reunion Movement, wouldn't end up on the path depicted in the painting...

That is why, mud

Yan Cai began to feel lost, because she wanted to observe further... to see what changes Gretsch could bring to the organization.

"Hmm... Sister Mudrock, if you still don't know, you should investigate further. Because the future isn't something that can be predetermined."

Seeing Mudrock's state, a hint of helplessness flashed in Gretchen's violet eyes, and she gently comforted him.

After comforting her, the little girl blinked gently and continued earnestly:

"Besides... no matter where you go, Mudrock, Gretchen will still be your friend. I'm strong, I'll help you... Moreover, our promise hasn't been fulfilled yet."

After speaking, Gretchen put down her water glass, her little ahoge (cowlick) on her head swayed slightly, and then she relaxed and gently leaned on Mudstone Qi's shoulder.

"Um... thank you, Gretchen."

Upon hearing this, Niyan gently turned his head to look at the little guy leaning against him, a hint of helplessness slowly flashing in his scarlet eyes.

Then, she reached out her hand again and gently patted Gretchen's head.

This time, Mudrock wasn't wearing her heavy gloves; instead, she used her delicate hands to stroke it. It was also the first time she had ever felt the softness of Gretsch's hair.

"It's nothing. I'm already very happy that Sister Mudrock is willing to be friends with me..." Feeling the touch on her head, Gretchen gently shook her head and then responded softly.

"Ah wu..."

At this moment, Gretchen, who was warming herself by the fire against Mudrock's shoulder, felt sleepiness wash over her again. She covered her mouth and slowly yawned. A few tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

Then, as if remembering something, the little girl continued to ask, "Speaking of which... how did Sister Mudrock contact me this afternoon through which clay doll?"

Although Gretchen had some guesses about the principle behind the mudstone connection, she still wanted to get a definite answer from the person in question.

“It’s resonance. This afternoon, I conveyed a message through resonance with the earth and my companions. However, under normal circumstances, others cannot sense it.” Upon hearing this, Mudrock organized his thoughts slightly before answering with a serious expression.

“But you are special… Through my experiment, after you are dyed with my color, you will be able to feel the presence of your companions just like I do, and resonate with them.”

After hearing Mudrock's explanation, Gretchen nodded gently, then looked up at her and said, "I see. In that case, doesn't that mean I have a special kind of communication with you, Mudrock-sister..."

The little girl's guess was almost identical to the principle explained by Mudrock, so she wasn't particularly surprised at the moment.

"Yes, that is indeed a special way of communication. However, I still have a question. When I tested it before, I wasn't with you, so how did you get my color on you?"

Upon hearing this, Niyan nodded first, then remembered a small loophole and asked.

Mudstone's previous contact was just a sudden whim to try it out, without much thought. It wasn't until now that she belatedly realized this small problem.

At the same time, he realized that the color on the little guy next to him didn't seem to be a one-time thing.

Gretchen made no attempt to conceal anything about the mudstone, answering almost without hesitation:

"Because I remembered your color, Sister Mudstone, I can choose to get stained with it... However, there are more cases where I get stained with colors through direct contact than with colors that I can get stained with directly."

"I see. Then this method of communication is stable. If you encounter any danger later, you can also tell me this way. As for the method... feel the power of the earth with your heart, and your partner will respond to you."

After saying that, Mudrock reached out and patted Gretsch's little head, gently instructing her.

Mudrock had already guessed that Gretchen could willingly absorb his color, so he didn't have any opinion on it; on the contrary, he found it very convenient.

Moreover, although this situation arose because it was influenced by her own color, the little girl was indeed the first "kindred spirit" she had ever met in a long time who could resonate with the earth, soil, and rocks just like herself.

This feeling made Mudrock feel somewhat unfamiliar, yet unexpectedly, it also made her feel close to it...

"Ah."

After listening to Mudrock's instructions, Gretchen nodded her little head gently. She took out a clay figurine, dipped it in paint, and began to experiment.

Then, on the first try, they succeeded and resonated with these special "partners".

group: 543659389

"Success."

"Well, that's great."

Mud Rock praised her without hesitation, gently patting the little girl's fluffy head as he spoke.

"Well……"

To be honest, Gretchen has really come to enjoy being with Mudrock now.

Her composure, gentleness, and the warm colors she exuded made the little girl feel incredibly comfortable, especially in comparison to someone else.

Alina's side—

"Where's the little guy?"

After finishing her business, Talulah returned to the area, looked around but didn't see that familiar little figure, and then looked at Alina with some confusion and asked.

"She went to visit her new friend and should be back before dinner. If you want to know who it is, Talulah, you should ask little Gretsch yourself tonight."

For Grey

Alina didn't directly reveal Xiu's whereabouts to her best friend, but instead kept it a secret.

"friend?"

P.S.: I had a bad run in Arknights this time. I only got one 6-star after 77 pulls, and it wasn't even a 6-star. I've been having terrible luck lately...

Also, I still got the ten tickets. I originally thought I wouldn't be able to get them if I wasn't level 10, but I still didn't get anything.

It's the beginning of the month, hand over all the money, and urge them to pay.
