16. An Unattainable Desire

"Cirin, what...what are you going to do next?"

A seemingly ordinary remark caused a huge uproar when it reached Xilin's ears.

His impatient expression was instantly replaced by surprise and wariness, and he even pinched the sofa until it was peeling.

"Since this guy found out, then there's nothing we can do..."

Without much hesitation, Xilin had already decided not to let Mo Mo leave this room alive.

Although it might cause me unnecessary trouble, soon I won't need to feign politeness towards these disgusting humans anymore...

After taking a look around, Xilin aimed at Mo Mo's head.

As a final act of mercy, I'll let you die a quick and easy death...

A sharp, illusory figure appeared behind Mo Mo's head, but Mo Mo spoke at that moment.

"Look, there's nothing for us to do here now, so we should be able to leave soon. Sirin, where are you going?"

"Huh?" Xilin frowned in confusion, seemingly not understanding what Mo Mo meant.

Did I misunderstand him?

The illusory shadow vanished in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.

[Then let him live a little longer; he's a useless human anyway.]

Even the Valkyries are no match for her; the powerful Herrscher of the Void wouldn't care about mere humans.

“Miss Theresa said she wants to send you to the school she founded to learn new knowledge. Will you go? Or do you want to go home?” Mo Mo asked.

"..." Xilin glanced at Mo Mo with an ambiguous expression and said coldly, "I hate them."

The curt tone clearly expressed his attitude.

[To become a Valkyrie? What a joke... It's just turning into a new guinea pig. Humans are all talk and no action.]

The future blueprint that Theresa painted in front of them was nothing but a pipe dream to her, and Celine always scoffed at it.

"Are you going home?" Mo Mo asked cautiously.

This is a critical minefield; one wrong move and it could explode instantly, resulting in a double kill.

Oh, right, the double kill is because the belt has to be included.

"..."

As expected, Mo Mo felt the space around him vibrate for a moment.

But it returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

“I have no home,” Celine replied stiffly, her head bowed.

【Oh ho, congratulations on surviving, Mo Zai. It seems she's quite tolerant of you. You can continue your reckless behavior.】

【...】

"Your family..."

Upon hearing this word, Xilin suddenly raised her head and glared fiercely at Mo Mo, forcing Mo Mo to cut off the second half of his sentence.

Just as Mo Mo thought Xilin was about to explode, the two tufts of purple hair beside her ears trembled, she retracted her protruding little tiger teeth, and muttered, "Dead."

"Sorry." The luck of escaping unscathed didn't make Mo Mo feel relieved. "Nm... never mind then."

"..." Xilin did not respond to Mo Mo's apology, but simply sat on the sofa without saying a word.

There was silence in the room.

However, Xilin did not continue to urge Mo Mo to leave, seemingly tacitly allowing him to stay.

"Then..." Mo Mo's eyes darted around, "would you... like to come with me?"

[Hello, is this 111? There's a pervert trying to kidnap a little girl here.]

Kidnapping my ass! I'm saving the world, what business is it of the police to save the world?

"You even tried to kidnap my sister?! Police! Call in another company of officers!"

【...】

"What did you say?" Sirin wondered if there was something wrong with her hearing.

This strange human, in her eyes, once again uttered strange lines.

"Actually... my family is in another world too." Mo Mo sighed softly. "I'm alone now..."

[Are you there? Am I not human?]

"Are you there? You're nobody."

If I were your dad, I'd definitely beat you to death with a stick.

[I didn't say anything wrong! I was actually thinking about how to go back and see him one last time.]

Then we'll use this real driver to thoroughly blind him.

......

No, forget about that kind of high-difficulty, humiliating play where my own dad becomes a Valkyrie. I'll wait until I get the Knight Card.

Xilin glanced at Mo Mo a couple more times; the melancholy between his brows seemed genuine, but she still decisively refused.

"I do not want."

"But can you take care of yourself by yourself?" Mo Mo continued to ask. "Don't let my appearance fool you, I've always taken care of myself, and I could easily take care of someone else too."

“…” Xilin hugged her knees tightly.

I don't need anyone to take care of me; all I need to do is destroy it all...

“I know you don’t trust anyone right now, Sirin, but not everyone in the world is as scum as those researchers here, like me,” Mo Mo said. “There are still many beautiful things in this world.”

Xilin glanced at Mo Mo but didn't say anything.

"There are lots of nice clothes, delicious food, beautiful scenery, fun people..." Mo Mo counted on her fingers, full of enthusiasm. "Oh right, after I leave here, I have to go to school, so I can make a lot of friends."

[Tsk tsk tsk, you're really malicious.]

【...】

"..."

Mo Mo wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt a slight glimmer of light appear in Xilin's eyes.

Those were images that had lost their color in her memory.

It seems to have some effect.

"I..." Sirin began hesitantly, "Can you?"

A happy and bright future—that was the dream I had always longed for.

“Why not?” Mo Mo said confidently. “My dad once said: All life in the world is equal. No one can deprive others of their right to happiness, as long as you are willing.”

“…” Xilin remained silent, her mother’s last words before her death echoing in her ears.

"Don't be sad. Promise Mom you'll take care of yourself and live well..."

Live well...

To rediscover the happiness we once lost...

Besides, haven't I already killed all the scum here?

“Come with me.” Mo Mo extended his hand to Xi Lin. “I’ll take good care of you, although you might not like my cooking…”

"You're quite skilled, aren't you? Self-taught? Looks like you really are a dangerous person."

All I wanted was to save her!

Staring blankly at Mo Mo's outstretched hand, Xilin opened her mouth speechlessly.

The pounding of my heart pounded against the wall of choice.

It's as if you could see the azure sky with just a gentle push.

"I......"

What if, maybe, perhaps, possibly, it really is possible?

Driven by a stirring desire, Sirin trembled as she withdrew her hand.

"boom."

The room door was suddenly pushed open.

The sudden change startled Xilin, who withdrew her hand and retreated to the corner of the sofa.

Mo Mo was left alone, awkwardly staring towards the door.

[So locking the door is a very important thing, Mo Zai, did you learn something?]

【...】

The newcomer was a woman also wearing a white coat, but Mo Zai didn't recognize her. She was probably one of the people sent by Destiny this time.

Mo Mo glanced furtively at Xilin and noticed that she was staring at that person with a look of utter disgust, as if she were about to attack at any moment.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Mo Mo? I heard from others that you are here." The man glanced around the room, ignoring Xilin, and focused on Mo Mo, saying bluntly, "Lady Theresa wants to see you."

"Miss Theresa wants to see me?" Mo Mo was taken aback.

Why is it at this crucial moment to save the world?

"Please hurry and come with me," she added, urging him on.

"..." Mo Mo glanced at Xilin again, speechless, "Okay."

The woman in the white coat nodded and left the room. Xilin watched her leave with a hostile expression.

"Cirin, I have to leave for a bit," Mo Mo said. "I'll come back to you later, wait for me."
