"If you don't like it, I'll try something else next time."

Looking a little embarrassed, the boy thanked them and immediately shared the food with his companions.

A few minutes later, when he walked out of the building, a tall woman wearing a nun-like uniform suddenly appeared in Ming Yue's sight.

Unlike Alicia, who is full of energy at all times, although the other party looks young, she exudes a sense of maturity.

Of course, this isn't just about Aponya having an alluring body that deserves to go to hell.

On the contrary, Mingyue is more concerned about:

Compared with her plump and round body, the other person's face full of loving kindness is the point that he cannot ignore.

Before Aponia arrived, Alicia poked her boyfriend in the waist:

"Ayue, you came to Twilight Street, didn't you, just for her?"

"Although she does look very beautiful and is taller than me, men who get bored easily will be struck by lightning, you know~?"

"So, hurry up and introduce me to her, and let's be friends, okay~"

He knocked the little crying monster on the head with his backhand. At this moment, Ming Yue was also meeting Aponya formally for the first time.

I can't tell her--

Not only do I know everyone's ending, I've also seen your pornographic pictures, right?

When Aponya walked up to the two of them, this young beauty with long light brown hair was only separated from Ming Yue by a door:

"Welcome, guests from afar."

"Please, come with me to the inside of the sanatorium and talk."

As the other party said the word "please", Ming Yue found that he seemed to have a strange idea in his heart, which made him almost subconsciously want to comply with Aponya's request.

But fortunately, the Aponia in front of him was not a fusion warrior who had undergone a super transformation surgery in the later stage and possessed the genes of the Honkai Beast, and his abilities had not yet reached the level of being a word spirit.

With the help of the Honkai energy in his body, Ming Yue easily wiped out his previous idea of ​​letting things take their course.

At this time, Alicia also noticed something was wrong:

She felt that the dean in front of her seemed different from many people she had met before.

Apart from her own boyfriend, this was the first time she met such a special person.

It’s not that Aponia’s ability made Alicia look at him differently, but Aponia himself made Alicia feel like she had seen a lighthouse in the dark night, making her stand out from the other people in Dusk Street.

Of course, even if the other party is very special, she will not regard Aponya as the same kind.

The reason is simple - ever since Alicia left the town to travel, Ming Yue has only given her the feeling of a star falling to the earth.

And this is her only one of a kind.

Sometimes, Alicia even feels that her boyfriend is another version of herself.

At the same time, seeing that the situation of the two was not what he expected, Aponya's expression was subtle.

This was the first time she had met someone who was willing to disobey her requests.

There hasn't been a single person like this in the past ten years, but today I met two of them at once.

It really surprised her.

Just as he was about to increase his strength, Aponya saw the young man in front of him pull open the iron door with his hands:

"you are too polite."

"That's what we're here for."

Ming Yue looked at the other person calmly.

"Ming Yue, Ming for tomorrow, Yue for He Yue."

"This is my companion, Alicia."

With one hand on her waist, Alicia added with a smile:

"That's right, we're a duo that's going to travel the world together~?"

After a brief exchange, the three of them got to know each other.

A few minutes later, following Aponya, the two arrived at the dean's office.

After closing the door and glancing at the grayish-white wall covered with glaze, Ming Yue took the initiative to speak:

"Aponya, is the sanatorium in financial difficulty?"

After getting two glasses of water from the water dispenser and handing them to the two, Aponya did not deny it.

“When I took over the nursing home from the previous director, the situation here was not that bad.”

"Every once in a while, many kind-hearted people who wish to remain anonymous send supplies to keep the nursing home running smoothly."

"But since we took in those patients infected with the strange disease, the situation has gotten worse."

His eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and finally, Aponya got straight to the point:

"Mr. Mingyue, the doctor on Dusk Street, said this disease is very difficult to treat."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Staring at Ming Yue intently, Aponya lost her composure, like a drowning man looking at the last straw.

She knew very well that Dusk Street was just a backward town with low medical standards and quack doctors everywhere.

According to local doctors, the strange disease can be suppressed, but it will cost extra money, and the condition will continue to worsen, eventually leading to irreversible cell necrosis.

If people from big cities are unable to cure the strange disease, then all the infected people in the sanatorium will die sooner or later.

Although it is not known whether it is a blessing or a curse, Aponya can sometimes see very vague pictures of the future.

She found it difficult to remain calm when she thought about the appearance of such a hell scroll in the future.

"Don't worry, we are professionals in dealing with Honkai."

In front of her, Ming Yue used the power of origin to conjure up a small white medicine bottle.

Seeing the astonishment on Aponya's face, his tone was as gentle as ever:

"This is a welcome gift to the nursing home."

"If you are willing to cooperate, you might as well try it out first."

"I'm looking forward to doing business with you."

3. Compromise and Trust

Looking at the glass bottle in her hand, Aponya hesitated for a moment.

She knew very well that after the other party showed off his ability to create something out of nothing, the initiative of this transaction was no longer in her hands.

Now, Aponya roughly understood why this man came to her:

The other party may be a doctor, but he definitely cannot be a simple doctor.

His purpose is definitely not as simple as saving the patients in the nursing home.

It is very likely that this man came here for himself who also possesses extraordinary abilities.

Growing up on Dusk Street, Aponya found it hard to believe that there would be a deal without asking for anything in return.

After all, in this place, the corpses of honest people have long since flowed down the sewers into the polluted ditches.

Staring intently at the potion, Aponya seemed to see his own figure in the bottle——

At this moment, she had an extremely absurd idea:

I felt like I was trapped in an invisible prison, like a bird in a cage.

And this man is the warden who guards the prisoners.

Slowly raising his head, Aponya looked at Ming Yue, trying to make a final resistance:

"Please, tell me the details of the deal and the potion's true efficacy."

Using his full powers, Aponia wanted to see if the other party had the same flexible moral bottom line as the locals.

Of course, the more important point is to find out whether there are any hidden dangers in the medicine.

She could make concessions for the children, but she could not accept that the people in the nursing home had accidents due to medication problems.

As Aponya finished speaking, the room fell into a dead silence, and even the air seemed to be stagnant.

After a while, Alicia finally got out of her strange state and said in a strange tone:

"Hmm~?"

"Miss Aponya, this is not right~"

She hooked her pinky finger around the naughty hair on her forehead and continued to smile:

"If you think there's something wrong with the conditions, we can discuss it carefully."

"But if you force others to obey your orders, you won't make any friends."

Although she didn't know what her boyfriend's purpose was, Alicia was sure:

This deal is absolutely significant.

For this reason, she tried to ease the atmosphere by chatting and laughing, and to control the escalation of the conflict.

If the dean across from me continues to be ungrateful, then Alicia will be really angry.

Even she couldn't easily forgive the stranger for using aggressive mental control tactics against her twice right after they met.

Holding his girlfriend in his arms, Ming Yue's expression showed no emotion:

"Aponya, I understand how you feel. After all, trust is something that takes time to build."

"But there's no such thing as a third time. If you feel a stranger can't be trusted, please speak up."

"I personally believe that the foundation for building trust is mutual respect."

“If this is not achieved, communication will be a waste of time and will not be mutually beneficial.”

Seeing that the two were not affected by his abilities, Aponiya completely gave up his thoughts.

At this moment, she finally experienced again the feeling of powerlessness she had when facing unknown options as a child.

The consequence of relying too much on her supernatural powers was that she developed an indecisive character and always thought that she could stabilize the situation by herself.

But since it concerns the life and death of the children in the sanatorium, no matter how conflicted Aponya is, she cannot remain indifferent.

She stared at the man intently, her eyes seemed to penetrate his true thoughts, and spoke clearly:

"I can make a deal with you."

"But the prerequisite is to prove the authenticity of the medicine."

Seeing that the problem was back to square one, Ming Yue held Alicia's hand and offered a solution:

"Don't be so nervous, it's not an unsolvable conflict."

"You can continue to use your abilities later. I won't resist this time."

Being actively and passively subjected to mental control are two different things for Ming Yue.

The former was his way of proving his goodwill, while the latter was enforced according to Aponya's orders.

Ming Yue knew very well that if it weren't for his succubus aura that could increase strangers' favorability, he might not even be able to enter the door of the sanatorium.

After all, the simple word "trust" is extremely rare in Twilight Street.

With a complicated look in her eyes, Aponya looked at him deeply, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Having taken over the nursing home for a long time, she knew——

Even the children in the orphanage mostly have their own secrets and will not tell her everything.

This was the first time today that Aponya had seen someone who was willing to be controlled. It was difficult for her to evaluate this mysterious man.

She didn't know whether the other party was really honest or was doing it on purpose.

But the only thing Aponya could be sure of was:

Those who are under their control will have nothing to hide.
