Chapter 2173 Girl's Lie
at breakfast time.

The shredded carrots on the girl's plate were almost finished, but all the onions were picked out.

"What kind of drama is this again?" She looked at the TV listlessly as if she didn't take it seriously at all - she found that her brother seemed to be watching TV too much these two days?
"I don't know, it was broadcasting when I opened it." Boss Luo said casually.

The girl glanced at it, and it seemed to be a story about a group of people traveling in the ruins...I always feel that the recent episodes are a little weird?

"This heroine..." The girl blinked her eyes and said, "What if it falls down halfway? And it's unscientific that the collapse of such a large area didn't kill her! The protagonist's halo is not like this, okay?" it is good?"

"You seem to dislike this girl." Boss Luo said suddenly.

The girl shrugged, "I can't say whether I like it or not. Anyway, I didn't see what happened before, and I don't know what kind of person she is. Besides, who knows if she is such a person? To put it bluntly , what you can see is just the side that is artificially allowed you to see, that's all."

Boss Luo smiled and didn't say anything... Children of this age, whether they are boys or girls, or even himself in the past, seem to be almost like this.

"I'm full!" The girl stood up suddenly, and then hurried into the room, as if she was afraid that someone would force her to eat the remaining shredded onions.

Boss Luo smiled, and then began to clear the table.

……

The Temple of Freedom is a place where all areas under the jurisdiction of the [City of Freedom], one of the seven capitals, will be built together to worship the free [Saint].

Of course, there are big and small, luxurious and exquisite, and simple and neat.

At the beginning, the Temple of Liberty was not built, but since more than 200 years ago, this trend began to spread from the [City of Liberty].

Hearing that the "sage" liked it, people tried their best to start building it.

The Temple of Freedom in the village was repaired 50 years ago. Over the years, it has been used as a venue for celebrations and the awakening ceremony of the Holy Maiden candidates, and villagers are forbidden to enter on weekdays.

"Shall we... go back?"

At night, two young children were quietly avoiding the night watchmen in the village.

"But Daxiu, haven't you always wanted to go into the temple and have a look?"

Daxiu... the boy hesitated at this moment and said: "It is true to say so, but if you enter privately, if you are discovered..."

"Ah, ah, ah!" The younger girl raised her head and said, "The priest has confirmed that I am a candidate for the holy girl, and I can enter the temple at any time in the future!"

"That's just you..."

"The high priest likes me very much. Even if he is found out, at most he can only blame me, and there will be no problem." The girl urged: "Besides, just take a look, isn't it! Treat it as your birthday The gift is ready, let's take a look and go back, okay?"

"Then..." the boy finally nodded hesitantly.

Because they had already entered the temple, the girl obviously knew a lot about the roads in the temple—they soon arrived at the hall.

There is a statue of the saint of [Liberty City] enshrined here.

The boy was quickly attracted by the statue of the saint, gradually lost his mind, and approached the statue unconsciously, "Remia, is this the saint... so beautiful. If I can wear this As for clothes..."

"Daxiu, what did you just say?" The little girl looked at him suspiciously.

The boy shook his head hastily, waved his hands and said, "No, I didn't say anything... Okay, Remia, I've read it and I'm satisfied, let's get out of here quickly!"

"Wait a minute!" The girl suddenly approached at this moment... When she reached the statue of the saint, she even grabbed it with both hands, and she was about to climb up the statue.

"Remia, what are you doing?!"

I only heard the girl staring at a gem on the forehead of the saint statue, and said quickly: "High Priest, the more devout believers will get more holy grace when they touch this gem. I think Going to have a try."

The boy was shocked, "Remia, come down, it's too dangerous! Besides, the touch ceremony will be held when you turn 14, don't mess around!"

"I know!" The girl has climbed halfway, "I will know sooner or later... But why, can't I know sooner? I'm about to meet... Daxiu, listen? It seems that someone is calling me !"

"Who?"

"Voice, I heard the voice...it's a saint! It must be a saint talking to me!" The girl became more and more excited, "The saint heard the prayer! The saint allowed it! Great!"

She stretched out her hand, as if to pluck the ripe and hanging fruit on the tree!

She's about to run into it!

At this moment, the girl's foot was empty, and she fell from the upper part of the statue in an instant... The fruit was rapidly moving away from her.

"Remia!"

The boy's frightened cries resounded in the hall... At the same time, the gems on the statue instantly released dazzling brilliance.

In an instant, gray-white flames filled the entire hall—the village's Temple of Freedom, and instantly caught fire.

Big, big, like a fire that wants to swallow everything.

……

……

"Daxiu, Daxiu—!"

She yelled something in horror... Soon, someone pressed her shoulders to calm her down——Remia opened her eyes and found that it was the face of a man in iron armor.

Iron Man, Mr. Katz.

"Hey, hey! It's okay, it's okay!" Katz slowly let go of his hands at this time, "Do you feel better, Remia?"

"I am?"

I only heard Mr. Katz whispered: "You are too tired, you have collapsed. We found a place nearby and hid. After all, it is almost night, and those monsters will be very active at night. And there is , I heard [Z] and [Sunny] talk about your heroic deeds! Thank you for saving us!"

Remia curled up, hugged her knees with her hands, and showed a not-so-good-looking smile, "Actually, I was also very scared... And if it happens again, I probably won't do it again."

Katz and Taromaru looked at each other... At this time, Taromaru was holding a heated can with both hands, and sent it to Remia.

"By the way, where are [Z] and Mr. [Sunny Sky]? Why are they missing?" Remia looked around.

This seems to be in a store... There are no more products on the shelves, and it is impossible to tell what was originally sold.Kaz got some cabinets and formed a circle.

"Oh, [Sunny Sky] is supplementing [Z] right now..." Katz was about to speak.

At this time, the little blue bird flew to Katz's head abruptly, pecked it a few times, and said loudly: "I'm sick of me! Didn't you say to give me hot food!"

"You can't do it yourself! Stupid bird!" Katz waved his hand displeasedly.

If the armored man's hand is real, the bird may not be dead... The little blue bird flew away with a strange cry.

Seeing this, Remia picked up the can in front of her and said with a smile, "If you don't mind, let's eat together."

The little blue bird flew to Remia's shoulder immediately, making a crisp chirping sound.

"You are so kind!" Katz looked at Remia and muttered softly, "This bird will be honest after a few meals!"

Remia just smiled, and gently stroked the feathers of the little blue bird.

"[Z] They should be back later." Taromaru said at this time: "Remia, you can take a rest."

……

……

Perhaps it was because of being caught by the demon Christmas tree, but Taromaru and Katz were actually not in good spirits—shortly after Remia woke up, the two fell asleep.

The little blue bird also fell asleep, probably due to being touched too comfortably.

[Z] and [Sunny] haven't come back yet... The sound of wind and snow can be vaguely heard outside, but it's not very loud.

Remia gently put down the little blue bird in her arms, and then crawled out from the round pile of cabinets—she needed to solve some physical problems, so it was naturally not good for her to stay here.

The long sword that didn't have a sharp edge was broken when it was in the station square... It seems that [Z] and they didn't pick it up.

Remia had no choice but to take a wooden square in the shop, hugged it in her arms, and then went deep into the shop to find a suitable and convenient environment.

But there didn't seem to be a bathroom design in the store - maybe it was upstairs, but the stairs were blocked by the collapsed ceiling.

She could only go through the back door of the shop and came to the alley outside... It really didn't work, it seemed that there was only one way to solve it on the spot.

But after all, it is difficult for women to accept this approach.

The alley was unusually quiet, but at this moment Remia saw the back door of another adjacent shop, and there seemed to be a faint light coming from it.

Remia was taken aback, she gritted her teeth, and approached slowly——she seemed to have faintly heard voices.

It seems to be the voice of Mr. [Sunny].

It used to be in the shop next door... But what is it doing here?
Remia cautiously approached, came to the door, and opened the door a little hesitantly—but saw that the light here was actually coming from underground.

Inside the shop, there is also a basement. At this time, the light source officially penetrates through the gap in the basement.

Remia carefully opened the basement door a little, and looked in with one eye—the basement space is not large, and it is very bright, and everything inside can be seen clearly at a glance.

For a moment, Remia's eyes were fixed... She even instinctively covered her mouth with her hand!
She saw [Z]!
It's just that the [Z] in the basement is like a [Z] she doesn't know... because such a [Z] is not human at all!

In the basement, [Z] was sitting against the wall.

But [Z]'s chest was open... In the open chest, Remia saw such things as gears, pipes, cylinders... and even a heart made of mechanical parts!

At this moment, two black cables are connected to [Z]'s open chest——Mr. battery.

"That's all that's left, you won't last long, [Z]." Mr. [Sunny Sky] said abruptly, "If you don't leave here, I don't know if you can wake up next time."

[Z] said slowly: "As long as I can see the sun, it will be fine."

"Then, let's go to a place with the sun." Mr. [Sunny Sky] said.

"Not yet." [Z] shook his head: "Remia, there is no way to walk in the snow for a few days, she will be frozen to death."

"We shouldn't be taking her with us anymore." Mr. [Sunny Sky] shook his head and said, "The current world is not suitable for human existence, and you shouldn't have saved her in the first place. You also saw that at that time... what sound?"

【Sunny day】Mr. raised his head suddenly, frowned, and went straight out of the basement, walked out all the way, and even came to the back alley of the shop.

It looked at the two sides suspiciously, and after careful observation, it found nothing, so it pondered, and hurried back to the shop, closing the door.

……

Outside the alley, the girl covered her mouth with her hands... perhaps because of the cold, or perhaps because of fear, her body was shaking slightly.

Suddenly, the girl slid down the wall and sat down.

She felt that her pants were soaked, and soon they were frozen into ice slag due to the cold.

……

"Don't tell Kaz about my affairs." Before entering the door, [Z] looked at Mr. [Sunny] and said in a low voice: "This will better maintain everyone's mental state."

"Don't worry, I know how to do it." Mr. [Sunny Sky] nodded.

They entered by the back door of the shop, and climbed over the circle of cabinets.

I saw that everyone was already soundly asleep... [Z] glanced casually at Remia, and saw Remia curled up in a corner by herself.

[Z] came to Remia's side, looked at it, then stretched out his hand and lightly pressed Remia's shoulder.

It seemed to feel a slight tremor.

[Z] took off his coat, and then covered Remia's body... He looked at [Sunny], and said softly, "You should also take a rest, I'll just watch the night."

[Sunny day] Mr. was not pretentious, and after a reply, he squeezed into Taromaru's arms - this is a good source of warmth.

【Z】Looked at Remia again, and then sat down - he escaped from his arms with a book, the one he had been looking at, and began to flip through it under the dim light.

But soon, as if thinking of something, [Z] took out another book... This is the one Remia gave him on the train.

【little Prince】.

In the silent night, apart from the sound of deep sleep, there was only the occasional sound of pages being turned... Remia was biting her fist lightly at this time, for fear that if she made a sound, it would break the barrier here. silence.

She was still shivering, shivering from the cold.

……

……

……

……

In front of the bed, a figure floated.

The village head, the priests of the temple, and the elders of the village were all watching with concern at this time—looking at the hope of the village, the candidate saint girl who hadn't appeared in the village for many years.

"Remia! Finally woke up, great!" The village chief looked excited at this time: "Last night, there was a fire in the temple. After we rescued you and your brother, neither of you woke up... What happened? Why is the temple on fire?"

The girl stared blankly at the people around her.

The village head, the priest, the old people in the village... are all these people.

"Yeah, Remia, what happened? Did you guys do something to blaspheme the saints, which is why you will be punished!"

"I..." Seeing everyone's increasingly fierce eyes, the girl on the bed trembled.

Cold, she felt colder than ever.

"Remia?"

"Yes...it's Daxiu!" The girl on the bed covered her face and cried bitterly: "It's Daxiu! He wanted me to take him to the temple, and said he just had to take a look at it! I can't tell, but he... ...sorry, I should have stopped him! I should have stopped him from touching the statue's jewel...sorry!"

Everyone in front of the bed frowned and looked at the priests of the temple.

The priest held a crystal ball in his hand at this time, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "The saint revealed... Remia, I am not lying."

No... lie.

The girl's face hidden under her hands gradually lost consciousness.

I did not lie?
Yes.

I did not lie.
