Xing walked towards the gathering place of the staff. Just as she was crossing a trestle bridge, she was stopped by a sudden shout.

[“I want to go, I want to escape, I want to leave here…”]

"?" Xing turned her head in confusion and found a clerk with a watermelon-like hairstyle that covered his eyes. He was sitting on a public seat, holding his head and wailing. The strange cry came from him.

The clerk continued to wail, "No, I can't escape. I can escape yesterday, I can escape today, but I can't escape tomorrow..."

It seems that what Ester said was right. The clerk's mood is indeed a problem. Xing nodded in understanding.

Xing walked over to the clerk who was wailing and holding his head. He learned his name from the nameplate: Abraham.

Abraham was completely oblivious to the arrival of the star and continued wailing as if no one was around.

"Look, the obstacle detection terminal has recorded 142856 attacks. The next number will be 142857!"

“I firmly believe that when I see this revolving lantern of hopeless beauty, my life will also reach the end of the revolving lantern…”

"This person... is quite interesting."

Kiana wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to laugh out loud.

She could hear the sadness in the clerk's words, but the emotional tone, like a poetry recitation, combined with the lines full of nonsense, created an inexplicable and strong sense of humor.

It was only when she considered what had happened to the clerk that Kiana suppressed the urge to laugh.

"I agree. Bronya thinks he could consider becoming a comedian after the war."

If it weren't for the facial paralysis caused by neurological problems, Bronya might actually laugh.

Xing decisively fulfilled his duty and comforted her, "It will be fine."

Abraham sneered at Xing's comfort and continued in a rhythmic tone, "Everyone says, 'It's going to get better,' 'It won't always be this unlucky,'"

"Negation...Affirmation...The negation of the negation is the affirmation."

"Be a good person, young man, and tell the truth!"

"Mr. Abraham is truly pitiful. He was so frightened that he lost his mind. I hope he can cheer up again with the help of Miss Xing."

Barbara folded her hands over her chest and prayed.

"I don't think his mental state had anything to do with the attack."

Rosalia, who was tall and looked more like a killer than a nun, shrugged.

"Perhaps Mr. Abraham could try a spicy drink."

Barbara couldn't help but think of her own secret recipe for rejuvenation.

"Put more chili."

Rosalia nodded in agreement.

Barbara asked happily after receiving the affirmation:

“How much should I add?”

"How about 100 times?"

"That will give you diarrhea, right?Σ(°△°|||)"

Xing thought for a moment and then spoke again: "Everyone will die eventually, but not now."

Abraham's eyes lit up instantly: "'Man must die, but not now'... What a wise statement! The closer you get to death, the more you realize that the present moment is life!"

Abraham's tone returned to normal: "I'll cheer up. Thank you, kind man."

"Ah!?" X2

Kiana and Ying screamed in unison.

"Is this how it was originally solved?"

Barbara opened her mouth slightly, feeling that she had learned a lot of new things.

"I think a punch would have the same effect."

Rosalia smacked her lips.

At the Knights of Favonius headquarters, Lisa smiled as she looked at her friend working at her desk.

"Humanity is truly diverse, don't you think, Jean?"

"..."

Thinking about the Mondstadt citizens she usually came into contact with, Qin could only nod her head although she was reluctant. It turned out that there were many such people in Mondstadt.

Chapter 20 Strange Section Members

As Xing continued to talk with the staff, he realized that even the humblest staff members in the Black Tower Space Station were geniuses who could make their hometown proud.

Suddenly, Xing heard a passionate cry: "Protect the rights of rare creatures! Save non-human creatures!"

Xing walked over curiously, and a clerk wearing glasses quickly walked up to her.

"All of us are gathering here for shelter. But seriously, has anyone considered what to do with the non-human creatures on the space station?"

[This clerk gave a passionate speech to the stars.]

"They are indeed rare artifacts, but aren't they also living beings? Do their rights deserve to be left unprotected?!"

[“Non-human creatures?” Xing asked in confusion.]

"Yes, non-human creatures. They're beings that are different from the human species!" the clerk, whose nameplate read "Lukács," explained word by word.

He then spoke bitterly, "Some of these are kept as exotic artifacts within the station, but almost all staff members disregard their fundamental rights. In such a critical moment of life and death, their vision remains narrow."

Lukacs then changed the subject: "And I, Lukacs, an outstanding member of the Black Tower Galaxy Law and Politics Department, have the responsibility to wake up those who are pretending to be asleep!"

Lukacs looked at the stars expectantly: "If you are also willing to join my cause, please stand by my side and wave the flag with me!"

"Protect the rights of rare creatures! Save non-human creatures!"

[“Let’s work together! Protect the rights of rare items—”]

"Uh, is there something wrong with this person's brain?"

Hill turned to look at her companions. Even though she thought she was a bit of a moron, she could tell that Lukacs was different from ordinary people.

Myne nodded affirmatively at her:

"Please remove the 'is it' and the questioning tone. At this critical juncture of life and death, how can you still have the energy to deal with such trivial matters? It's better to save that energy to deal with the Antimatter Legion."

Leona also curled his lips and complained mercilessly:

"If he really wanted to do something, he could have just taken action. Didn't that clerk named Rong Cangzhong go out to rescue Uncle Wuwu?"

Although he looked a little abnormal, he didn't need help. Xing decided to go find someone who needed help more: "Then I'll leave first."

Lukacs' eyes widened, veins popping out on his forehead. He pointed at Xing's back indignantly and said, "Ah! Another sophisticated egoist! A narrow-minded anthropocentrism! Open your cloudy eyes and look at the little lives around us—"

"Protect the rights of rare creatures! Save non-human creatures!" Lukacs raised his hands and shouted, but Xing left without looking back.

In Mondstadt, at the Cat's Tail Tavern, Rosalia's lips curled slightly as she looked at Lukacs as if he were a fool.

"You yourself are human, and your companions are also human. If not humanity as the center, who else can you center around?"

"That makes sense."

Kaia raised his glass and echoed:

"While it's commendable that you're willing to make an effort to protect something you cherish, it's clear that protecting non-human creatures isn't a consensus among the members of the team. To demand this of others is selfish."

The two men drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

[Next, Xing met another excited clerk]

The bespectacled female clerk stood by the window, her eyes fixed on the antimatter horde outside. "That's right... that's right, 'The obsession of vengeful spirits becomes a visible hand, the shadow of past disasters coalesces into a tail that obscures the heavens'! Exactly as written in the Star God's secret scroll! That is the galactic war weapon forged from antimatter by the followers of Nanook the Destroyer."

[“I didn’t expect that I would have the honor to witness this with my own eyes, hey, hey hey…”]

Meir, a clerk, spotted Xing and placed her finger before her mouth before Xing could speak. "Hush! Are you here to witness the power and miracles of the Star God?"

After receiving a positive response, Meir pointed to an empty space not far away and said, "Then go over there. There's a good spot over there."

"Be careful of cross-interference when observing with your body, so as not to miss out on capturing details," Meir warned worriedly.

She then returned to her original state, staring intently at the pawn outside: "The Star God has appeared. Even if it's just the slightest clue, we must not let it go. Hey, hey, hey..."

"Hiss~ Is this a genius? Why do they all look so weird?"

Sugar frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion.

"After all, as the saying goes, 'There's a fine line between genius and madness.'"

Eula looked at Sugar with a meaningful look.

"and……"

"And what? And Eula, you look so weird. Is there something on me?"

Sugar looked at Eula in confusion.

"nothing……"

Eula shook her head and ended the conversation.

Fullmetal Alchemist World, Central Library.

Edward lowered his head and looked at his body, then fixed his gaze on his brother who was like armor behind him:

"Al, aren't we geniuses after all?"

"how is this possible?"

Alphonse immediately objected.

"You became the State Alchemist at the age of twelve, and even before that... and I'm even stronger than my brother. If we're not geniuses, then there won't be any geniuses in this country."

"Huh? I'm obviously stronger, right?"

The hair on Edward's head trembled, and he immediately stood up and retorted.

"My brother has never beaten me in a fight."

"That's because your body is too lazy."
