People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

The beautiful vision helped Tallulah clear away the fatigue accumulated from handling the affairs just now, and she drank the water that Alina handed to her in one gulp.

The city of the infected is only the first step. The most important thing is to change the status of the infected.

As Tallulah was thinking this, the next second the office door was pushed open and Frost Star and Ark walked in, making her burst out laughing.

"Is the matter settled?"

"It should be considered finished."

Frost Star's tone was not very sure. After all, judging from the results of the previous talks between Fang Zhou, Kuzuya Kota and Qu Wen Jie Dou, the situation seemed to have become more serious and there was no sign of improvement.

Some of the things involved, such as the universe, the world, and the subspace, are things that Frost Star doesn't understand or know.

But at least they understood that there seemed to be a very powerful evil demon that was constantly approaching the land where they were, and even the Ark might not be able to deal with this evil demon.

So when Tallulah asked if the matter had been dealt with, Frost Star had no idea what to say, whether to tell Tallulah the truth or not. She could only give a perfunctory answer and then look at Ark.

Seeing Frost Star's perfunctory attitude, Tallulah smelled something unusual and looked at the man next to her seriously.

"Isn't it going well?"

Fang Zhou pondered for a moment, feeling the somewhat solemn atmosphere and sighed.

"I can't say it's not going well, but I suddenly found myself facing a huge obstacle. If I'm not careful, I might even get myself into trouble."

"Is it that serious?"

Tallulah's expression suddenly became serious. What kind of difficulty could make Ark take her into it?

Talulah didn't know about the future that Amiya had seen, but she had a basic impression of Ark's strength. Until now, she had never seen the man in front of her use his full strength. Only when facing the woman named Theresa would Ark take a slightly more serious attitude.

"It doesn't matter. The matter is still a long way off, and there are ways to deal with it."

Knowing the importance of Shidra to the history of this land, Fang Ark also knew that he could not escape this time. In all the futures he has traveled to, the two Demon Rabbits he met were probably because they failed to completely defeat Shidra, which led to him and Kal'tsit being lost in the subspace, or even sacrificed in the subspace.

But now, at least with the help of Kuzuya Kota and Kimon Kaito, they should contact other people, and the situation should change by then. During this period, I also have to speed up. Not to mention letting Amiya strengthen her confidence and fully awaken the power of the devil, at least I have to let her use the power of the second level.

That is the power that truly destroys time and space.

"Is there a way to deal with it? That's good, but if you need my help, please let me know."

Talulah's sincerity warmed Fang Zhou's heart. Just when he was about to say something, a commotion suddenly came from outside.

"Where are you kids from? What are you doing here?"

"We want to find Mr. Ark and Sister Tallulah."

The childish voice made Fang Zhou raise his eyebrows. He was very familiar with this voice. It was Ino and Sasha.

Previously, during the Integration Movement, he discovered the true nature of Ino's Originium Skills and intentionally controlled the direction of his Originium Skills learning, hoping that his Originium Skills could be separated from the original timeline, and its terrifying lethality to the infected could be transformed into hope for the infected to be cured of mineral sickness.

Although Froststar has now obtained the Healing Fruit Lock Seed from the Helheim Forest, and Ore Sickness has become a curable disease, there are never too many ways to cure Ore Sickness. It would be a good thing if Ino's Originium skills could continue to grow.

But in fact, since returning to Rhodes Island, Fang Ark, who was busy with work, has not seen Ino and Sasha for almost three or four weeks. It has been nearly a month, and he doesn't know how the two children are doing now.

Since we met here, and the other party specifically said that he was looking for himself and Talulah, he must have seen himself and Frost Star coming in at the door. So it was a good opportunity to check the progress of Ino's Originium skills.

Well, it’s commonly known as the teacher checking homework.

But after not seeing each other for such a long time, isn’t it a bit too devilish to check the children’s homework as soon as we meet?

"Let those two kids in. They have no problem with the money."

While Fang Ark was thinking about these things, Annalina had already walked to the door and told the guard patrolling the city hall to let Ino and Sasha in.

He also knew these two children, and they had learned writing and basic knowledge from her. Ino, in particular, had a good level of basic education. It seemed that before he became infected and was caught by the infected patrol team, this child must have been living in a well-off family.

"Teacher Alina."

When they saw Alina, Ino and Sasha both looked delighted. Although Alina no longer taught the children to read, the children still used to call her teacher when they saw her, and Alina herself liked this title very much.

"Come in, both of you. It's okay, don't worry, Froststar is here too."

The latter sentence was said to the guard. Although Canaan City is now full of infected people and the Integration Movement, as mentioned before, a large number of the infected here are outsiders. Although the original members of the Integration Movement welcome these foreign infected people, they also did not relax their vigilance, especially when they were with Tallulah.

After all, there have been traitors in the entire sports team before.

But since Miss Alina said so, he, as a guard, can only let the child in. Besides, Miss Frost Star is also in there, so it should be okay.

The two children were brought into the office by Alina. The moment they entered the office, they immediately focused their attention on Fang Zhou in front of them, and ran over happily to surround Fang Zhou.

"Look, Sasha, I told you I wasn't mistaken. It really is Mr. Ark. Mr. Ark, you haven't come to see us for a long time. By the way, I've been practicing Originium skills very hard recently. Look, look."

Unlike the shy and fearful Ino before, the current Ino looks more lively and sunny, without the slightly gloomy look before. However, it seems that Ino is only lively when facing Ark, Sasha, Alina and others. When facing other people, although he is not as gloomy as before, he is not lively either.

Under the gaze of the Ark, Ino excitedly stretched out his palm. Under the gaze of everyone, a faint golden flash appeared in the darkness in Ino's palm. Then, under the surprised gaze of Tallulah and the others, as Ino performed the Originium technique, an Originium containing liquid flashes inside appeared in his hand.

"The Originium dust in the air has almost been sucked out. Is the area involved so large?"

In Fang Zhou's perception, Ino had almost completely sucked out all the Originium dust in the air within a radius of 100 meters, and all of it condensed into the small Originium in his hand.

"This quality... the purity is incredibly high, and it's in a low-activity state. It's already comparable to industrial Originium crystals, and can be used directly as an energy source and in spell circuits."

Industrial Originium Crystals, if we change the term to something everyone can understand, it would be...

Pure Originium.

Chapter 263: Assassination from the Future

Looking at the small piece of pure Originium in Ino's hand, a hint of surprise flashed in Tallulah's eyes.

Pure Originium is a very important and precious industrial energy source for any country and any industrial entity on the Terra continent.

In Ursus, the nobles drove the infected and the poor to dig the Originium veins, and most of the Originium obtained was eventually refined into pure Originium. The waste after refining, such as the Originium shell, was also used as industrial raw materials to make dense Originium crystals, which is an important industrial material.

It can be said that Originium is full of treasures, and Ino, who can condense completely unusable Originium dust in the air to produce pure Originium, is simply a huge mobile treasure house!

If those crazy nobles knew about Ino's Originium skills...

Tallulah's expression changed.

She could almost immediately imagine what would happen to Ino.

Even herself, Talulah asked herself that when she knew the function of Ino's Originium skills, the first thing that came to her mind was to let Ino produce more pure Originium to support Canaan's industrial development.

Guilt instantly washed over Tallulah's heart. She actually... actually thought of exchanging a child's life for her future?

As an infected person, what are the consequences of letting Ino use Originium skills at a high load? Talulah, who is also an infected person, will hardly have any lag and can easily answer this question.

will die.

In the continuous practice of Originium skills, the muscles, bones, and internal organs in the body will all turn into Originium, losing the important conditions for maintaining vital signs and finally dying in pain.

Even the Originium crystals in the body will be activated at high speed at the moment of death, and then...

boom!

The Originium dust all over the sky will become a super-horrible and virulent source of infection, causing more innocent people to become infected, creating new hatred and resentment, and making more targeting and malice towards the infected.

"Sister Tallulah?"

Ino looked at Tallulah with some worry, her expression becoming very scary. He didn't know why Tallulah's expression of surprise at the beginning suddenly turned into such a scary look after seeing his Originium skills.

Alina rarely used the word colorful to describe a person's expression, but now she felt that this idiom could be used to describe Tallulah's face.

"Tallulah, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, isn't Ino here now? It's normal for everyone to desire convenient things, but if you can recognize that your own desires are wrong and criticize and correct them, then you will still be the leader of the Reunion Movement that we all admire and follow.

A hero is never someone without desires, but someone who has desires, realizes the error of those desires, and then overcomes them. That is a hero.”

Alina's comfort and Ino's worried gaze brought Tallulah back to her senses. She smiled self-deprecatingly and shook her head.

Looking up at Fang Zhou, she saw her reflection through the dark reflective helmet visor. It was as if another self was looking at her.

Seriously, why am I getting so backward? I'm still being so hypocritical at this moment.

"Sorry, Ino, did I scare you a little? It's okay, I'm just a little surprised by your Originium skills. It's really good Originium skills."

In Tallulah's eyes at this moment, that small piece of pure Originium was like a tempting poppy, constantly inducing Tallulah's sanity. Unfortunately, Tallulah, who had been encouraged by Alina to wake up, was not so easily tempted!

"Can my Originium skills help Sister Tallulah?"

When he said this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Ino's eyes.

It has been a while since they came to this city. The two children can clearly feel that the adults around them are smiling more and more, and their lives are getting better. Not only can they have enough food to eat, but they can also live in a house with walls on all sides.

They can see that the adults around them are doing their best to make this city of the infected called Canaan a better place, but their children are usually confined to school to receive basic education provided by teacher Xumajia.

"Children don't need to be responsible for labor or production. What they need most is to acquire knowledge and develop their own abilities. When they grow up, it will be time for them to use their knowledge and abilities to contribute to the city."

This is the consensus of the entire integration movement. Children do not need to devote themselves to production. It is enough for them to learn knowledge, develop themselves, and become better.

But kids like Ino and Sasha, who are more opinionated, obviously don't think so.

They are eager to prove that they can help the adults around them, but what awaits them is always only well-intentioned advice and the sentence that makes them a little annoyed: Just wait until you grow up.

They are not children anymore.

This is the most intuitive thought in the hearts of the two children.

And now, when seeing Tallulah's hope for her original memory, Ino desperately wanted to get recognition and approval from her.

And Tallulah would not disappoint the children's expectations. She did not bring out the adults' theory of waiting for you to grow up. Instead, she touched Ino's head, ran her fingers through the hair that was now much smoother than before, and looked at the child in front of her with gentle eyes who was eager to make a contribution to the infected, Canaan, and the integration movement.

"Your Originium skills are excellent, very good, Ino. There is no doubt that it can help Canaan become better and help many people."

When hearing these words from Tallulah's mouth, Ino's eyes lit up, and his inner joy was clearly reflected on his face. He immediately turned his head to look at Fang Zhou next to him. He hoped to get recognition from the gentleman who taught him the art of Originium and was almost like a guiding light in his life.

No one will let down a child.

"Yes, Ino, I'm pleasantly surprised by your Originium skills. I didn't expect you to have advanced to this level."

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled Ino's heart. Even when the cold winter wind blew on his face, he did not feel the slightest bit of coldness.

"Sister Tallulah..."

"Ino."

But just when Ino wanted to continue speaking, Tallulah seized the opportunity to stop him, and then glanced at Fang Zhou. She knew that it was Fang Zhou who discovered Ino's special Originium skills, and the two children were very close to him on weekdays. So at this moment, he was obviously the one who had the most power to convince the two children.

"Ino, your Originium skills are excellent, but do you remember what I told you at the beginning?"

Ino recalled the expectations that Ark had for him when he first saw his Originium skills.

"The Originium technique that can save this land"

Afterwards, Fang Zhou had always expected himself to be able to control the Originium crystals or Originium dust, and then make the Originium crystals decompose and move along the route he envisioned. Later on, he would have to use objects such as steel plates, silicone, and animal meat to control the decomposition of the Originium crystals and perform healing Originium skills.

In fact, at this point, any child who is not too stupid can understand what Fang Zhou's intention is. Ino also understands the expectations that Fang Zhou has placed on him, but he seems to be a little too anxious now.

"I know you, Ino, are anxious to prove yourself, and now I tell you, you've done it, you're great."

Fang Zhou took the Pure Originium in his hand and placed it in front of Ino's eyes and said to him seriously:

"What you've accomplished so far can already help Reunion accomplish so much, but Ino, your talents extend far beyond this. You can accomplish so much more. Compared to what you can accomplish, creating pure Originium is nothing more than a trivial matter. So, don't worry. Greater responsibilities await you in the future."

If the Healing Fruit and the Power of Oma had not interfered, Ino's Originium Technique might have really been one of the saviors that could truly cure Ore Disease. It's just a pity that in the normal timeline without the Power of Oma and the Healing Fruit, the child was spoiled by the Black Snake and eventually died in Chernobog.

If we could really refer to Ino's Originium skills, perhaps we could develop a specific spell unit to cure ore sickness, but this is destined to be a long process.

Now the main thing is to let Ino do this himself.

"I understand, Mr. Ark."

Ino nodded, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was not completely satisfied yet.

Looking at Ino, this child should be around fourteen or fifteen years old this year, older than Amiya. And because of his Originium skills, Ino actually has combat capabilities. Together with Sasha... among the children of the same age in the Reunion Movement, Ino and Sasha may be the two most capable fighters.

Then why not...

Fang Zhou suddenly approached Alina and whispered to her for a moment as the latter looked at him hesitantly.

"That's not a bad idea."

After hearing Fang Zhou's words, Alina's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea, and it would also make the two children feel a lot better.

A moment later, accompanied by the voice of "We will definitely not let Sister Tallulah, Mr. Ark and Teacher Alina down", the two children ran out of the office happily and left here happily in the surprised eyes of the guard at the door.

"Letting children manage children is indeed a good idea."

"Children understand children best, and they also know best what methods can be used to deal with other children."

Fang Zhou smiled through the window at the two little ones who had already left the city hall building downstairs. His thoughts drifted back to his student days. Well, he felt a little nostalgic.

But it was just a memory. When asked if he wanted to go back, he politely declined. He didn't want to go through the life of senior year of high school again.

"so good."

Looking at the lively figures of the two children walking and jumping in the sunset, Fang Zhou sighed sincerely.
