"So, the future me and Saria...are we dead?"

"This..." Chen Qi wanted to say something, but He Mo waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't hide it, I know everything."

"The scar on Saria's shield, my glasses... and the changes in Ifrit's personality, and the way she hugged us and cried... I already knew."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen Qi, I don't care."

As long as Ifrit can grow up healthily, it will be fine. As for the death of Hemer and the others... In fact, from the moment they left Rhine's life, they all knew that their death could be at any time and anywhere.

They knew too many secrets about Rhine Life. Even if the Colombian government let them go, Rhine Life would never let them go. It should be said that the Rhine Life turning into a sea of ​​fire was the best ending.

On second thought, Ifrit destroyed Rhine's life completely, wasn't it to eliminate the trouble forever? It seemed like an impulsive action, but it was a hundred benefits with no harm, and it could be said to be an impulse after careful consideration.

Ifrit has really grown a lot.

"...Ifrit has suffered a lot over the years."

Chen Qi didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, he said calmly:

"I hope you can stay with her this time... With you around, she might feel more at ease."

"——We will never leave her again." Hearing this, Hemer smiled, but also answered very firmly:

"I definitely won't."

……

At this time, in Chen Qi's laboratory, Saria was still accompanying Ifrit, but the crying here had all disappeared.

Ifrit lay quietly in Saria's arms, with tears on her eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.

This time, perhaps, this would be the most peaceful sleep she had had in all these years.

And Saria gently held the girl's body so that she could sleep a little more comfortably. The beautiful woman also smiled with tears in her eyes, and gently rocked her body, as if she was coaxing a mother to sleep with her daughter.

However, at this moment, Saria inadvertently glanced and saw Ifrit's little hand resting on her abdomen.

The lights in the laboratory suddenly flickered, illuminating an extremely bright object. The light dazzled Saria's pupils, causing her to squint subconsciously.

But at this moment, Saria's pupils suddenly froze, and she suddenly thought of something.

That is--

Saria looked at the small, beautiful, sparkling gem in Ifrit's left hand. Suddenly, her mind went blank and her eyes were dull for a moment.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the laboratory changed a bit. A test tube containing powdered protein on the laboratory table suddenly broke apart and splashed onto the laboratory table...

Chapter 107: Saria's Extreme Resistance

"I see. This kind of thing has happened before."

On the other side, Hemer started talking to Chen Qi. The two had never met before, so the topic they talked about was all about Ifrit.

All that was in Hemer's mind was the Ifrit of the past, but Chen Qi was just the opposite. He didn't know the Ifrit of the past, but he could tell Hemer what the Ifrit of the future would look like. The two of them talked about it with each other and found it quite fresh.

"Is Ifrit already eligible to join the research department? I'm really surprised." Hemer smiled with his eyes turning into crescents.

"She can't even recognize all the words now. She gets very irritable every time I teach her math problems."

"In fact, she still doesn't like scientific research, she's just simply good at it." Chen Qi shook his head and said to Hemer:

"Although she doesn't like it, she has been studying very hard in order to contribute."

“…She has learned to control herself.”

Hearing this, Hemer couldn't help but sigh with emotion. She didn't hide the satisfaction in her eyes about Ifrit's growth, followed by a hint of pride.

To be honest, although Hemer and Saria are not Ifrit's biological parents, they have watched Ifrit grow up in the laboratory and have taken care of her wholeheartedly for so long. They are the people closest to her.

Although Hemer is not Ifrit's mother, the relationship between the two is no different from that of mother and daughter.

What else could make Hemer feel more gratified and proud than knowing the future health and growth of Ifrit?

"Mr. Chen Qi, you must have put in a lot of effort to help Ifrit grow so well."

"I didn't actually grow up in Rhode Island." Chen Qi shook his head, then looked at his face reflected in the cup of hot tea in his hand and said lightly:

"Everyone needs to pay a price to grow. It's just the difference between a slow progress and a moment's progress."

"However, for people on our continent, growing up in an instant is nothing new."

"Yeah..." Hemer also sighed when she heard this, but she seemed to be much more optimistic than Chen Qi.

"But we can definitely change all this, right?"

"...That's right."

Chen Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this. Looking at Hemer who was smiling at him, for some reason, Chen Qi suddenly felt some confidence.

This look of trust and expectation... Chen Qi was not unfamiliar with it. It was when he first started to build the future shuttle device, or when he had just passed the approval of Sister Amiya and took over the command of Rhodes Island from Sister Amiya.

He always receives such looks, looks that support him and hope that he can lead them towards hope.

And Chen Qi, naturally, responded to everyone's expectations as usual, time and time again.

"It's a pleasure talking to you, Dr. Hemer." Chen Qi also put down his teacup, then smiled and said to Hemer:

"But you still have a young Ifrit to take care of, right? Is it okay to talk to me like this?"

"what……"

However, it was only after hearing what was said that Hemer finally reacted. Their attention had been drawn to the future Ifrit, and they subconsciously forgot about the little Ifrit they brought with them.

After Chen Qi's reminder, Hemer finally remembered that Ifrit's treatment was the most important thing.

"Yes, yes, I forgot about it." He Mo quickly stood up and said to Chen Qi:

"Then, Mr. Chen Qi, I will take my leave first."

"The infirmary is at the end of the left side." Chen Qi reminded and watched Hemer walk out in a hurry.

However, just as Hemer reached the door, the sensor door suddenly opened, and Hemer ran head-on into a figure that was much taller than her.

"Puff." He felt that his entire face was covered by two soft things. Hemer subconsciously took a few steps back, but was pulled back in time.

"Hemer, are you okay?"

"Sai, Saria?"

After hearing the voice of the person coming, Hemer subconsciously took a few steps back and kept a short distance from him, thus concealing his panic. He asked in a decent tone:

"What's wrong? How's Ifrit?"

"…Already asleep."

However, Saria only glanced at Hemer from beginning to end. Her eyes were fixed on Chen Qi, looking eagerly, revealing a probing and dangerous look...

To be honest, when Chen Qi was glared at by Saria with this look, his heart sank.

Damn it, something bad has happened. Chen Qi had obviously guessed something, and from Saria's gloomy and uncertain expression, she must have discovered it.

Moreover, judging from Saria's attitude...it seems that things are not going well, at least not as easy as Dr. Hemer's.

It seems that the situation that Chen Qi was most worried about has happened.

"...Hemer, you go out first." Saria patted Hemer's shoulder, her eyes still fixed on Chen Qi, and said lightly:

"I have something to ask Mr. Chen Qi."

However, just as Saria walked around Hemer and towards Chen Qi, suddenly, her hand was grabbed again.

"Saria, you're here just in time." Hemer held Saria's hand and returned to work, becoming serious and rigorous again.

"Ifrit is still in the infirmary. I don't know if the Originium disease is under control. We have to go and assist the doctors in Rhodes Island with the treatment."

"…Ifrit?"

However, after Hemer said this, Saria paused for a long time. Then she suddenly remembered that the person they were escorting was Ifrit from this world.

Fortunately, I was completely attracted by the Ifrit in the future and almost forgot about the Ifrit here.

"But..." Saria looked bitter when she heard that. She came here to confirm some things.

"But what but? Don't you want to save Ifrit?"

"--let's go."

Finally, Hemer's words completely crushed Saria. Even though she was a little unwilling, Saria was very clear about the importance of Ifrit's safety.

So, Saria was pulled out by Hemer. However, at that moment, Saria turned around and looked at Chen Qi.

“—Wait.”

In the last second, the subtle movement of Saria's lips conveyed an extremely clear message to Chen Qi. Combined with Saria's cold eyes, it immediately conveyed all the meaning.

In the end, Saria was dragged away by Hemer, leaving Chen Qi alone with cold sweat on his face.

"It's troublesome..."

Chen Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect that this matter would become so troublesome.

He also didn't expect that Saria's reaction would be so resistant and so intense.

Why does it feel like the law that someone gave me a daughter when I was in Rhodes City doesn't work here? Chen Qi, who didn't have much experience, couldn't help but have this thought in his mind. Of course, it was only for a moment.

He knew that this Terra continent was different from his, and there was still a lot of hope on this continent. But in his case, he was almost the only hope for all of Terra.

"Forget it. As the saying goes in Yan Country, 'make the best of it'. I'd better wait and see what happens."

Chen Qi sat down on the chair helplessly, stretched lazily, and slowly lay down.

He still has a lot of work to do, and he can't rest yet...

Chapter 108: A few days later, troubles with Charmander

With the support of Chen Qi and Ifrit, the entry process of Saria and the members of Rhine Life from Hemer's faction into the island was also very smooth.

If at the beginning, the Rhine Life people led by Saria and Hemer did not know enough about Rhodes Island, and were a little wary because of the barrier caused by the destruction of Rhine Life, then the moment they saw Ifrit from the future, this barrier completely disappeared.

Ifrit's condition in the ward had just been brought under control. White-Faced Owl and Mel came out of there, led by Hummer and Saria, and came to the laboratory with a confused look on their faces, and met Ifrit's future again.

It seemed that everyone could guess what would happen next. After venting her feelings, Ifrit seemed to be in much better shape, but White Owl and Mel were still hugging Ifrit and crying bitterly.

Mel was fine, however, the White-Faced Owl, whose mind was affected by the Originium disease, almost had a "blue screen" while crying, and the infirmary almost welcomed another patient who was on the verge of collapse due to the Originium disease.

Fortunately, with the help of the future Ifrit, Hemuseria, Mel and others, White-Faced Owl did not collapse due to the torture of Originium disease due to his emotional outburst.

This scene made Ifrit more determined to prepare the potion to cure Originium disease as soon as possible.

Several days passed in a flash, and as Ifrit's condition in the infirmary was under control, some troubles also ensued.

……

"So, the multiplication table is the basis, Ifrit, have you memorized it?"

A few days later, in the room assigned to Hemer in Rhodes Island, Hemer, who was not on duty today, began a very routine job - tutoring Ifrit.

Ifrit did not receive any systematic enlightenment education in school. All her education was conducted in the laboratory. Originally, according to Rhine Life, ifrit was not necessary to receive education, but under Hemer's suggestion that "ifrit has no ability to distinguish right from wrong, it will only destroy and lose control", ifrit still received some education.

Unfortunately, Rhine Life has top talents in almost every field, but when it comes to enlightenment education, Rhine Life is an amateur among amateurs.

Therefore, Ifrit's enlightenment education was almost entirely carried out under the clumsy methods of Hemer and Saria, which had little consequence. However, Ifrit's temperament was also very... rebellious?

So, this scene happened.

"It's so annoying...Hemer, can I not learn these things?"

Holding the most basic elementary school mathematics textbook in his hand, Ifrit's little face showed a distressed expression, and he said with a look of resentment:

"These things are so difficult... Didn't we say before that we came to Rhodes Island to help fight? Why do I still need to study?"

"——We are now members of Rhodes Island, but we don't necessarily have to go to the battlefield."

And Hemer explained Charmander's question, but she only said with a wry smile on her face:

"Besides, Ifrit, your infection level is only temporarily stable. It is not yet time for you to go to the battlefield."

"Mr. Chen Qi has told you that you cannot go to the battlefield until your illness is completely stable and you can obey orders."

"Tsk, that troublesome man."

However, when the name "Chen Qi" was mentioned, Ifrit's expression became somewhat disgusted, but he muttered a little embarrassedly.
