Above the Ruins [End Times]

When he made another sound, Leng Mo still leaned against the wall panting to recover his strength, and now he still felt dizzy, so he had to forcefully close his eyes, and then tried to open them again.It's a pity that this action is a bit difficult for him.

It didn't take long for Leng Mo to wait, and it seemed that the "forking point of fate" that the system called came.The wind fluctuated uneasily, and the sound of footsteps, though slight but still clear to this silence, gradually came towards Leng Mo.

Accompanied by the sound of slightly rapid but trying to suppress his breathing, a figure in a white coat approached Lengmo.

Leng Mo can guess who this person is without looking.

Her long brown hair is in a mess, and she is protecting a baby in her arms. The same brown eyes are sparkling inlaid on her face, which can be seen on a closer look, making her shine even in the wind and dust. It looks even more dazzling, even dust and blood can't hide it.

"Please... this child..." Amy walked a few steps forward in front of Leng Mo, squatted down, and handed the baby in her arms to Leng Mo, her voice was soft and pleading.All of this is just like in the memory that has long since faded.

"..." Leng Mo didn't respond, in fact, he had already made a choice.A ridiculous choice that is probably not very good.

Seeing that Leng Mo didn't respond, Amy gritted her teeth, knelt down, took out a dry and hard bread from her pocket, and took his hand, about to stuff the bread into Leng Mo's hand.

"You need this thing very much right now? I'll give it to you, please, help me take care of this child..."

Leng Mo, who had already made a plan, withdrew his hand and refused to pick up the bread stuffed by Amy. His action made Amy startled: "...Little brother?"

"I, I won't take it." Leng Mo refused with a hoarse voice, he paused, "I don't know how to raise a baby, it's troublesome. And...the bread is...wasted for me."

Amy's eyes moved down to the baby on her lap. The baby opened a pair of royal blue eyes and looked at the two curiously.This child who still doesn't know anything was stolen from the professor's research institute for some reason. This child cannot fall into the hands of the professor. No, if possible, don't get close to the institute of supernatural powers.

but……

Amy's eyes fell on Leng Mo's face again: "Why...Little brother, are you hungry? Big sister can give you food, and you can even exchange the baby that big sister asked you for bread."

"I..." After uttering a word weakly, Leng Mo closed his mouth and lowered his head.Leng Mo's eyes were closed. Amy reached out to touch him, but his body fell down instead. Regardless of the pain of the fall, Leng Mo even deliberately held his breath.

"Little brother?" Amy was a little surprised. She breathed out Tan Lengmo's breath, then turned her head to listen to the approaching footsteps of her pursuers, gritted her teeth, turned around and left with the baby in her arms.What Lenmo waited for was Amy's departure.Only when Amy leaves, can he resist the urge to take over Erwei.

This time, he didn't pick up the child.

This time, Lenmo chose to reject Amy.

——Lengmo, why?

(No reason, system.)

Hearing the slight sound of Amy going away, Lingmo opened his eyes with difficulty.

——What is no reason!Why didn't you take this child?Why didn't you take Erwei?what's on your mind?

(Because, I want to see. The result of another selection.)

Since the system said that this is a bifurcation point, since this is the fate of Lengmo and Youwei, then, Lengmo wants to see what would happen to Youwei if they hadn't met in the first place.The current Youwei always gives Leng Mo a strange feeling, very strange.

The room with chaotic colors, the strange performance at the auction, the secretive demeanor, and some unnatural behaviors when facing him, although he didn't say it on the face, but Lengmo had already noticed that Erwei was wrong.

They grew up together and raised You Wei's Leng Mo, even though they have been separated for so many years, You Wei still can't hide it from him.It's just that Ling Mo doesn't think about it, he doesn't want to think deeply, what happened to his Youwei.

—Didn’t I say that?This is an opportunity to start all over again. If you make a different choice, your future fate will really be different.Do you want to become two parallel lines that do not want to intersect with Youwei?Moreover, do you want to lose your abilities?Don't you want the ability of water system to make your life better?

(It's different... that's fine. The people in the power institute attach great importance to Youwei, and Youwei won't suffer.)

Thinking of the stubborn Youwei who he saw in his dream after he separated from Youwei, who was punished for being stubborn, Leng Mo felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

(Being raised by supernatural powers is better than being raised by me. I can't read, and I can't guarantee anything. In the beginning, Youwei was always hungry when I was with me. The resources of the supernatural power are sufficient, and Youwei has the ability , at least I won’t be hungry. As for my ability…it doesn’t matter.)

Leng Mo stood up while leaning on the wall, his left leg was injured, and when he stood up, he felt a piercing pain.But now, Lengmo in this body has long been used to the pain.So he just limped along the wall with a pale face.

——Have you figured it out?

Leng Mo nodded lightly, and then thought that the system probably wouldn't be able to see his movements, so he hummed lightly.

——Well, if you regret it, don't come to me!

The system was also helpless, she uttered something that seemed to be gritted her teeth, and then without waiting for a response from Leng Mo, there was no more sound.

Amy left with the baby Erwei, which means he will never meet them again, right?Leng Mo doesn't think that Amy will escape the pursuit, nor does she think that she will abandon Youwei. Lengmo thinks that whether Amy entrusts Youwei to others or if Youwei is brought back to the supernatural place, it is better to stay in He's a guy - life around him is better.

Although—he was very reluctant.However, this is the choice made by Leng Mo after thinking about it.Maybe he just didn't have the kind of psychological preparation for raising Youwei but being separated for so many years. He has never been a strong person, and he will collapse again, so it's better not to be dependent on each other from the beginning Pass.That way, he won't feel uncomfortable, and he won't have trouble sleeping and eating.

Now Leng Mo plans to go to a place.Otherwise, staying here and waiting will really starve to death. Without taking Erwei, it is naturally impossible for Lengmo to get Amy's bread, and he is very, very hungry now.The feeling of weakness coming from his body made Leng Mo waste a lot of energy every step he took. If he hadn't relied on his willpower not wanting to die, he would almost have to sit on the ground as soon as his legs gave way.

Whether it's now or in the future, Leng Mo...doesn't want to die.At the very least, it's not a suffocating way of dying like starving to death.

"Huh..." Letting out a deep breath, Leng Mo raised his eyes to look at the gray-green sky, lowered his head, and took weak steps.

【38. Resolutely】

"..." Crouching in the corner of the wall, Len Mo still held a piece of plant rhizome in his hand. The rhizome in his hand was yellow-brown, and it didn't look very good, but there was already a gap in it, and the inside of it Part of it was chewing in Lenmo's mouth.Leng Mo's hands were covered with plaster and he didn't have time to wipe them off. At this moment, he was staring at the little baby in front of him with his eyes wide open.

Youwei...why did you find it here?

"Googoo," the little baby lying on the ground raised his body, opened his tiny arms, and made a gesture of wanting to be hugged, "Woo, woogoo——"

Ling Mo swallowed the food in his mouth, and watched the little baby's actions coldly.Now he is not that little boy, and he is not a guy who will change his mind easily after he made the move to give up Youwei.

"Huh...?" The little baby who looked at the ink with a pair of beautiful eyes opened his mouth and pursed his mouth. The person in front of him didn't hug him.

Hearing the baby's voice, Leng Mo couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted, but he knew that he couldn't comfort the baby—he had already made up his mind, hadn't he?So...so...

Although he was thinking like that, comforting himself, but Leng Mo's hands could not help but reach towards the little baby...

"I'm sorry." Leng Mo froze in mid-air, silently withdrew his hand and looked at the braided man with a gentle smile on his face.Karku picked up the baby, "Excuse me."

Ignoring the baby's arms stretched out to Ryomo, Karku carried the baby and left.As for Leng Mo, he just squatted in the corner, watching the two leave with cold eyes.

Nothing to regret.because……

——Hey, Rengmo, do you know the consequences of your choice?Do you know what will happen to Erwei?Without you, without your intervention, Erwei would...

Leng Mo's body shook, and finally fell to the ground.And some pictures also appeared in his mind.

After being taken back by Karku as a baby, Ervi was brought up by a gray-haired man, but no matter how hard Ryomo tried, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, so he had to give up.The man's attire seemed to belong to the Research Department of the Ability Research Institute. He handed Youwei over to a woman with long brown hair to be raised. At first glance, Lengmo thought he saw Amy, but upon closer inspection Lo and behold, the woman is older than Amy.

The brown-haired woman was impeccable in taking care of and educating Youwei, but except that she would take Youwei to the gray-haired old man for a check-up every week, she didn't have any chance to go out.
