We are from the future ark

Finally, the group was about to return to Rhode Island. On the last short stretch of the road, Chen finally couldn't hold it back any longer and spoke to Chen Qi in front of him, breaking the silence.

"Xiao Qi...what are you going to do?"

Chen finally couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore. She stopped and asked Chen Qi in front of her:

"I've been thinking about this all day, but I still can't find a good way to start, so I just asked directly."

"Xiao Qi, what do you think? What do you...think of Tallulah?"

"..."

For a moment, Chen's resounding voice slowly fell. For a moment, Frost Star and Xia Guang, who were just walking silently on the side, stopped at the same time and looked at Chen Qi, who was walking in front with his back to them.

Chen Qi also stopped at this moment. After a long silence, Chen Qi finally turned around slowly and looked at them.

"I have no idea."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Chen Qi's mouth. The cool autumn wind blew across his robe. With a burst of coolness, Chen Qi said lightly:

"I have been thinking about this all the way."

"Have I always treated Tallulah as my aunt? What was my mindset when getting along with her... Or, did I ever cross the line in the past?"

"But, I thought about it for a day, and I thought about every memory I had with Tallulah again... but I still don't know."

"Everything about us is so natural. Even if we are no longer in a relationship, it will be exactly the same as before. There is no difference at all."

"Maybe these...really have nothing to do with taboos. We are just used to each other's existence in our lives. When we think about the other person leaving our lives, we find it very difficult to accept it."

Chen Qi thought a lot. He used his Originium skills to sense what Tallulah did to him when he was unconscious. Even though he was asleep at the time, he could rely on the remaining senses in his body to feel what the scene was like.

...He could feel the loneliness and pain coming from Tallulah. She was sober. Although her thoughts were a little extreme, Tallulah was sober and aware of all this.

The more fierce the attack, the more Chen Qi could feel the loneliness and unwillingness coming from Tallulah, the feeling that she was really trying to merge into her body... she was reluctant.

Chen Qi had felt this feeling before. When Skadi had just woken up, Chen Qi could feel the same way.

However, Chen Qi felt that even Skadi did not leave as deep an impression on him as Tallulah. The two had many similarities, but the difference was that Tallulah seemed to be more reluctant to let Chen Qi leave her life than Skadi.

Skadi once had the idea of ​​enduring loneliness alone and letting Chen Qi go, but Tallulah...she didn't have that feeling.

She was worried all the time that Chen Qi would leave her. She didn't even want to feel a moment of loneliness again. Just thinking about it made her so anxious and panic-stricken.

Some people say that Tallulah is very strong. Indeed, she is strong, but she is also very fragile.

After experiencing the feeling of being filled both physically and mentally, I can no longer tolerate the loneliness I once had.

If, if Chen Qi had never appeared in her life, perhaps, Tallulah would still not know this feeling, and would get used to the feeling of loss and not belonging to herself, and thus spend every empty day.

In a sense, the situation now has become like this... maybe... it is indeed partly due to Chen Qi.

"I...maybe I can't see her as a woman all of a sudden. After all, I spent half of my childhood with her in this relationship."

"But...if it has become like this now, I will give it a try."

Facing the eyes of Chen, Xia Guang and Shuang Xing, Chen Qi's eyes gradually became firmer, and he said to the three women:

"I will not abandon anyone I have had a relationship with, no matter who that person is or why."

"As long as I really do this, I will definitely take responsibility."

"...Maybe this is very unfair to Ifrit and the others, but, even if they want to beat me to death, I will still say this."

Chen Qi has his own bottom line. Although his bottom line has been completely punctured, Chen Qi does not complain about himself or become a person without bottom line. He still wants to do his best to do better.

Even though the choice in this matter would be bitter, Chen Qi would try his best to make a choice that did not violate his own principles and would be as good for everyone as possible.

"... Let's go quickly. I feel like I'm going to be torn apart when I go back."

Chen Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He had already begun to think that if Ifrit and the others knew about this, he would be divided into several pieces.

It would be fun to let Skadi chop herself into several pieces, and then let them play finger-guessing games and the winner gets to take the head...

However, looking at Chen Qi's departing back, Chen, Xia Guang and Shuang Xing looked at each other but said nothing.

However, the gradually relaxed brows of the three girls seemed to have explained their cloudy and sunny hearts at the moment.

How to say it... Chen Qi's answer was not what they wished for, but no matter whether Chen Qi's answer was good or bad, strictly speaking, they would not be satisfied after hearing it.

If Chen Qi really chooses to abandon Tallulah, then he is no longer Chen Qi, and Chen and the others may still be dissatisfied with Chen Qi's answer, even more dissatisfied than they are now.

This is not something that can be chosen as an option. If it happens, it is a bad thing. The only thing to do is to make a relatively good choice as much as possible.

"You... it's because of this that so many girls choose the strong ones..."

After hearing what Chen Qi said, Chen didn't know what to say. After a bitter smile, he just felt that in the future, because of Chen Qi's personality, the number of girls who would take advantage of Chen Qi might increase.

...But, if he didn't answer like this, he would not be the Chen Qi that Chen knew.

In a sense, Chen Qi's answer is the same as Chen Xiang's. If Chen encountered such a thing, there is no doubt that she would make the same choice.

Even if it was an accident or premeditated, as long as such a thing happens, they will not be irresponsible. This is due to their character and has nothing to do with accidents.

But, Xiaoqi’s trip back this time... is a bit miserable... Chen thought so in his heart and couldn’t help but sigh.

Xiaoqi, I’m afraid you’ll have a hard time on this level today.

Chapter 254: There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart (Fog)

"Everyone...we're home."

The one and a half day journey passed quickly. With the land ship sent from Avalon, which had already received the news and arrived at the designated location in advance to pick up Chen Qi and his group, they finally returned to this new mobile city in the afternoon.

"Sir Chen Qi, we will be back to Avalon soon." The driver from Rhodes Island who was responsible for picking up Chen Qi and his group seemed to have shown up only because Chen Qi and his group had made the decision. Therefore, he did not pay attention to how depressing the atmosphere was between Chen Qi and his group.

The driver had a smile on his face as if he had accomplished a mission, and he was proud that he could complete this easy but important pick-up mission. After all, the people on this car were all elite operators and senior officials of Rhodes Island!

Although it was just a simple liaison mission, the thought of so many elite operators needing him to bring them back to the camp made it a rare undertaking even for this veteran operator who had been doing this kind of mission for a long time.

After all, there are not many elite operators who usually go on missions. What's more, among the escort personnel this time is the "young master" of Rhodes Island, the current supreme commander of Avalon?

The multiple joys and sense of honor mixed together made the operator really not notice that at this moment Chen Qi did not show any joy at all, but instead had an expression that did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"…If it's possible, I really don't want to come back so soon."

Chen Qi looked at Avalon, where the city wall was already visible. Thinking that he was about to go to the island, he prepared himself for "leniency if you confess, or life in prison". He called the good girls around him who were waiting for his safe return, and then told them in person under their gaze:

"My aunt raped me yesterday."

——Then, the question is, Chen Qi is now considering how many pieces he will be cut into? Which way of death can be a little more decent? After all, he doesn't want his blood to be stained on the hands of these people, so he would rather commit suicide.

"Negative emotions have been detected. Sir Chen Qi, do you feel unwell?"

However, at this time, on the other side of the land ship, there was a "creature" that looked about the same height as a human and looked quite large, like a sweeping robot. It came to Chen Qi with a pleasant female voice and said to Chen Qi:

"Mr. Chen Qi, please take care of yourself. This system has just detected the physical conditions of you and the other elite operators. It seems that you all have sleep disorders."

"If Dr. Kal'tsit knew about this, she would be very worried."

"…Thank you, Lancet-2."

Chen Qi calmed down a little as he looked at the medical vehicle in front of him, which had been serving in Rhodes Island for two years and often traveled with land ships or aircraft.

This was not a good thing. Even the medical robot could sense that something was wrong with me. If I returned to Rhodes Island... wouldn't my weirdness be exposed immediately?

...Although Chen Qi didn't intend to hide it, it was impossible to hide it.

"No need to thank me, I'm just a medical robot." The pleasant female voice of the medical car sounded again. However, after "she" carefully looked at Chen Qi, she said:

"Sir Chen Qi, I am just a medical robot. You don't have to expect me to do too much because I don't understand human emotions."

"But I can sense that you are in a very negative mood right now. If I had to describe it, it's like a soldier who is about to embark on a battlefield knowing that he will never come back."

"Sir Chen Qi, are you unhappy to be back in Rhodes Island? Or did something happen in Kazdel that bothered you?"

"…Lancet-2, do you really not have a human emotion perception system?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi couldn't help but glance at the medical cart in surprise. Almost every word of the medical cart's analysis just now hit Chen Qi's fatal point, which made Chen Qi wonder whether his expression management had declined, or whether the system of the medical cart in front of him had been upgraded again?

However, Chen Qi's eyes were caught by the medical cart, and she was so scared that she stepped back a distance and said to Chen Qi intermittently:

"Mr. Chen Qi, the look in your eyes just now was so scary... It was exactly the same look that the lovely sister Klushel had when she wanted to tear me apart when she first saw me."

"This, this system's self-test has no problems, no faults in any aspect, no maintenance is required."

"..."

This woman, Lucille, this medical vehicle has only been here for two years. What on earth did this guy do to the medical vehicle?

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Klushier was a woman, given her obsession with mechanical structures, Chen Qi doubted that this woman would have any feelings for robots that transcended race.

...Wait, why is my mind full of topics about the lower body?

"Bang!" Chen Qi slapped his forehead suddenly. He felt that his brain, which was usually top-notch in combat command, scientific research and technology, and medical and pharmaceutical fields, seemed to be filled with messy yellow waste in an instant and needed to be taken out and washed thoroughly.

"Here we are."

However, just when Chen Qi was still worried about what was in his head, the driver in front of him spoke, and Chen Qi finally came back to his senses.

Lancet-2: "...Mr. Chen Qi, your expression has become a bit fearless."

Chen Qi: "Do you want me to keep smiling? Sorry, I can't do that."

Lancet-2: "..."

……

Finally, the land ship slowly stopped in the city of Avalon. When Chen Qi and his party got off the land ship, they saw the people who had been waiting here for a long time and came to greet them.

"Chen Qi, Xiao Chen."

Tallulah, who had been waiting with Kal'tsit and the others, was the first to greet them when she saw them get off the bus.

"——Shame Dragon!"

"Shh-!"

However, before Tallulah could feel happy, suddenly, a blood-red sword energy came whistling at her, scaring Tallulah so much that she had no time to react.

Fortunately, the sword energy seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned a corner. The red sword energy turned into a strong wind and flashed past Tallulah's cheek.

As some of Tallulah's silver hair slowly fell down, no one reacted. They just stared blankly at the angry Chen who suddenly appeared in front of Tallulah with Chi Xiao raised.

"...What? It's a small tower."

Chen seemed to have just recovered from his shock. Looking at Tallulah who was frightened by his actions, he smiled awkwardly and put away the Chi Xiao that he had pulled out reflexively. Looking at the current awkward situation, he didn't know what to do.

Behind Chen, one could see that Chen Qi's expression had become indifferent, with a look in his eyes, as if he no longer cared about anything and was dead hearted, which made people feel a little creepy.

"……what happened?"

On the other side, Kal'tsit, who was waiting for Chen Qi and the others to return, had no idea why this happened. Chen's behavior of suddenly drawing his sword towards Tallulah in anger seemed a little wrong no matter how you looked at it.

And…who was she referring to when she angrily called her “Shame Dragon”? Tallulah?

But... Talulah has been here all the time. What did she do to make Chen so angry?

"Yes, I'm sorry, Xiaota... conditioned reflex, conditioned reflex..."

Chen put away Chi Xiao with a smile, and looked at Tallulah in front of him who was stunned by his fright. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

...Tsk, it was obviously Xiaota in front of him, not that shameful dragon, but when Chen saw this face, he felt an uncontrollable rage rising up.

The scenes that happened there at that time could not help but emerge in his mind again. Chen felt that he could not think about it anymore, otherwise it would be easy to cause accidental injuries.

In fact, it would be best not to let Chen see Tallulah's face during this period, otherwise something might happen.

"Chen Qi, how are things going over there?"

"…It's going well. Except for the fact that I might be dead, everything is going well."

However, facing Kal'tsit's question, Chen Qi, who had completely let go of himself at this moment, had a calm expression, like a saint. He walked towards Rhodes Island step by step and said to Kal'tsit behind him:

"Dr. Kal'tsit, please tell the kitchen staff at Rhodes Island to give me a portion of all the food on the menu today. I want to have a good meal."

"Then, prepare a cooler for me. I think it will be useful later."

"?"

Kal'tsit was completely confused by Chen Qi's words at the moment. She looked at Chen Qi's back as he walked towards Rhodes Island. Her head was full of question marks, but she could not get any answers at all.

After eating, put it in the refrigerator. Are you planning to follow the example of the East Country and commit suicide by cutting your stomach after eating?

Kal'tsit didn't understand at all, but she could feel that this matter must be very strange. Something extremely outrageous or something difficult for them to accept must have happened when Chen Qi and his team went to Kazdel this time.

But... what on earth was it? Kal'tsit couldn't figure it out at all, and didn't understand what could have caused Chen Qi, who had always been calm and composed, to show such a desperate expression.
