The snow stopped, and under the silence was white sadness.
Even though it was an enemy that the patriots had wanted to kill, everyone in Rhode Island still felt sad about the death of this soldier. Amiya and Kelsey stood in front of the black sculpture, looking at the warrior who had lost his breath, and they didn't know what they were talking to. Valentine sat on the edge of the line and could not hear their voices.
Rhode Island’s break was longer than planned.
There was a cry of killing in the distance, which quickly disappeared. There was probably an integration movement resisting Tallulah passing nearby, but they didn't meet them, and they didn't meet the "murderers" who killed the patriots.
The Demon King, the prophecy, His Highness, the heir to King Sakaz...
In just one battle, Valentin accepted too many things that his identity should not be exposed to at this moment, and his mind seemed to have turned into a pot of messy soup, with essence and leftovers. All this messy information was floating in his brain. Valentine was holding a spoon, trying to fish out something useful, but he couldn't even analyze the useless information.
At this time, Valentine still couldn't see clearly the truth under the fog. He could only put all these things into the pot one after another, even throwing the spoon in, then cover the lid and keep it in his heart until some time in the future. Open it again.
Maybe a year or two, maybe ten and a half years.
Anyway, when he opened the lid of the pot again, the essence would still be floating in the soup, naturally appearing in front of him on the spoon. The dross that confuses the public has long since rotted and sunk to the bottom, and will never appear again.
that time……
Whether he is a hungry eater with a small spoon or a troublemaker who comes to cause trouble, no one can tell.
The world will turn Valentine into what he wants to see, and people will push Valentine into a path of their own choosing. Our protagonist only has the choice to stop or turn, and there is no possibility of turning back.
Unless the account is sold out.
But Valentine had already sold his account once, and he didn't want to do that again this time. There is still a long way to go, and Valentine still has time to hone his body and will. As for whether the destination will be glory or thorns, it depends on whether he can endure the gardens and storms on the way.
"Hi."
Just when Valentine was holding his chin and thinking deeply about the philosophy of life, an electronic sound interrupted the wonderful process of sublimation of his thoughts. The little dragon man followed the sound and saw Noah, wrapped like a rice dumpling, standing in front of him, with an emoticon on the screen under his hood.
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و
"Well……"
Looking at that cute facial expression, Valentine didn't know what to say for a while.
"Hello Doctor."
But he still understands the most basic courtesy.
The Rhode Island field commander and Queen Kelsey's "ex-husband" personally came to say hello to a low-level operator of his. Valentine felt...
There is definitely something wrong with this bitch.
Not long ago, he still remembered the incident of Noah eating tofu behind Yae Sakura Valentine's back and had not forgotten it. After all, although the doctor in the original plot also had some very naughty dialogues, overall it was still very normal. As a result, when he met the doctor for the first time after time travel, he discovered her nymphomaniac side, and Valentin felt that something was broken in his heart.
He even wondered whether this doctor was a time traveler like him, and he was here to test himself.
"can I help you?"
Valentine stood up, holding the hilt of Deshuang's sword in his right hand and standing it at his side. This two-handed sword was about the same height as himself. It was very troublesome to carry it. He couldn't stuff it back into his mental space in public, so he could only hold it casually.
"Nothing, I just came to thank you."
Noah stretched out his left hand, and the facial expression on his face turned into a smile.
:)
"Thank you for the hard work in the battle just now. Without you, we would have lost several outstanding operators."
Valentin held Noah's hand, with a bitter smile on his face.
I didn’t want to either. Who knew that the patriot would catch me and beat me up? If only this guy could turn his head and look at the crazy output of Rosemary and Mon3tr behind him, he wouldn’t have been beaten so badly...
Of course, complaints are complaints. If the Patriots really don't care about Valentine, he still has to rush over and chop off the guy's head with his De Shuang in hand to draw attention to himself again and complete the task that a tank should do.
This is good training for a bait and the best approach at that time.
The world where I am the only one injured is complete!
…
"Don't worry, after this mission is over, I will arrange a vacation for you, and a salary increase is no problem."
As if he heard Valentine's thoughts, Noah threw out sugar-coated bullets, which instantly cheered up the slightly decadent little dragon man.
"By the way, you are still in the internship period, right?"
"ah."
Valentin released his hand and nodded, his big light red eyes staring at the boss in front of him, like a child eager for candy.
"Holidays, salary increases, and regularization. Moreover, you will receive more resources than other operators, and it will be easier for you to become a senior operator."
The sugar-coated cannonball turned into a sugar-coated missile, hitting Valentine's heart directly, making him suddenly feel that the beating he had just received was not in vain.
Why did you come to Rhode Island? Not just for the inhibitor, but also for that illusory mission. The predecessor of Rhodes Island is the Tower of Babel, as well as the mysterious Kelsey and the heads of various departments. There are more secrets buried in the shadow of that mobile base than his Paper Man wife. If the promotion speed is accelerated, he will obtain these. Secret progress will also be accelerated.
If these things were thrown away, the increase in salary alone would be enough to make him happy.
"It feels like...a dream."
Valentine smiled, but the expression on his face was not as exciting as his heart.
After all, there is still one biggest difficulty in the task ahead.
Tallulah.
Now I can only hope that I, the wall-hanger, and the doctor, the wall-hanger with amnesia, can beat her. Otherwise, let alone a raise in salary, getting out alive is a luxury.
"But it's more real than pure gold."
Noah patted his shoulder and motioned for Valentine to sit down.
"Come."
Kelsey and Amiya were discussing the next battle plan, and the operators were spread out on the edge of the open space, alert to the surrounding situation. Dr. Noah sat with the new trainee operator and looked at the core control tower in the distance, doing what she should do.
Building relationships with the operators is the most important thing for Noah besides commanding.
"Your ability surprises me." Noah recalled the scene where Valentine and the Patriots were fighting just now, and felt that this trainee operator was a bit ridiculously strong.
If placed in the game, it would be an excellent human shield with immortality characteristics. Even if he can only mock one person, it is an absolute T0 human rights card.
"Actually, I'm quite surprised myself..."
Valentin put Deshuang next to him and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Inexplicably... I just can't die."
Rhine's life experience has proven that Valentine's physique is extraordinary. The many half-day tours in the past three years have even further demonstrated his strong physical fitness. Combined with the "vitality" that Jiao Zhengyu once explained, Valentine felt that his life was bound to everything in the world of Terra.
If he could fully develop his Origin Stone skills...
I'm afraid no existence can kill him by then, and he will live as long as heaven in the true sense.
"Pfft."
Noah couldn't help laughing.
"What you said can make a group of elite operators angry to death."
"They spent so much time and sweat, only to be easily surpassed by the talent of a trainee operator."
The girl's chuckle wrapped around Valentin's ears like soft threads, and he suddenly realized that the voice around him was no longer the cold electronic sound just now, but a living human being with rich emotions. sound.
It's like, it's like...
Valentin frowned, he turned his head and saw Noah's true face.
Her silver hair is like silk, and her red eyes are like wine. The face was as delicate and white as if it were made of tofu. There seemed to be a thin film of water on it, as if a small hole would appear if you poked it lightly with your finger. The bridge of the nose is delicate and straight, the lips are as pink as cherry blossoms, the shape of the chin just wants to be pinched gently, and the curve of the cheeks should be held in the palm of the hand and taken good care of, so that this perfect face cannot be damaged at all.
It seems that even a little dust is unbearable.
This is truly a perfect piece of art...
It was so perfect that Valentin didn't know why he had such a big reaction to this face he saw for the second time.
If you can't imagine Valentin's evaluation of Noah's appearance at this time, then we can give a detailed example.
Because of the genetic lock, everyone on Terra is handsome and beautiful, and they don’t even have a popular face. Therefore, what can truly be called beautiful in this world should be called fairy-like on earth.
This is the bottom line for top-notch looks. So far, people who have interacted with Valentine are basically above the bottom line of "fairy looks."
Xing Yihuang, she is a girl who is relatively balanced in all aspects and does not favor anyone's subjective preferences. Remove the strong subjective factor of love and just look at her appearance and personality. This is a girl that everyone will like, but not to the point of being unable to extricate themselves.
It's like there is always a magic card in the game. It can do anything and do it well, but it will not be extremely good in a certain aspect.
It's obvious about Raphael. Her appearance, personality, and voice all lean towards the "goddess" or "gentle sister" styles. This is perfect for men who long to be tenderly cared for and cared for by their partner. Hell, once you fall into this sweet and gentle land, it is impossible to get out again.
Valentine's current relationship with Raphael is higher than that of Xing Yihuang, largely because of this.
So what about the Noah he saw at this moment?
Valentine didn't know what the doctor's personality was like, and he had only heard a few words from his voice. But just looking at her appearance...
If girls were all paintings, and there was a museum built for Valentine's XP in this world, then Raphael and Xing Yihuang should be placed in the middle of the museum, while Noah was locked up in the fifth floor of the museum. In a 100-meter secret room surrounded by reinforced concrete and titanium alloy.
Good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are different. At this moment Valentine just wants to kick the guy who invented this sentence.
At least in the world of Terra, this "truth" was shattered by Noah's face.
Are you looking for another face like this? Looking for it again?
Where can I find it?
Gone!
"That...doctor."
Valentin stared at Noah, who didn't know when to take off his mask, with an unnatural look on his face.
"So you are a girl..."
Although it sounds a bit rude, he still has to play the role of a straight man who sees this face for the first time.
Why didn't you feel this way the last time he was Yae Sakura Valentine? Still think Noah is a bitch?
How strange.
"Um?"
The little dragon's embarrassment was reflected in Noah's bright red pupils, and the curve of the corner of her mouth seemed to eat Valentine's heart alive. She was irresistibly beautiful.
"Why can't I be a girl?"
The voice of the devil.
It used to be okay not to see this face, but now Valentine felt that even the sound would make his heart beat faster and his body temperature rise.
Wow, it suits his taste so well.
"Ah this..."
Valentine was a little embarrassed. He struggled to say two words and his voice became as quiet as a mosquito.
The fact that Noah was a woman was indeed beyond Valentin's expectation. He was very surprised when he was buried in the ruins with Froststar.
How could such a girl who didn't seem cold-blooded at all and a little off-kilter turn out to be a chess player who regarded everything as a piece of chess without any emotion?
But this is an indisputable fact.
Valentin can only blame the change in Noah's personality on his lost memory, just like the excuse he once made in Rhine Life.
"It seems that the mask I wear and my daily attire caused a big misunderstanding."
Noah tapped the mask in his hand, and a message popped up on the screen.
"But there's nothing we can do about it. Kelsey asked me to dress like this, otherwise I'll be in big trouble."
She shrugged, pursed her lips and looked helpless. Valentin looked at that face and deeply understood Kelsey's good intentions.
If Noah was allowed to show up and run around in Rhode Island, wouldn't all the operators have to become her loyal slaves?
Valentine himself was fine, as he had a large-caliber gun and fists to remind him. But what about those single operators? What about those little loli girls who are new to the world?
I'm afraid Kelsey might have a cuckold on her head that could pierce the ceiling the next day.
It actually matches the overall color style of the old lynx...
"PhD!"
Amiya's voice reached their ears. Noah looked up and saw a girl not far away waving to her.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
Noah agreed and put the mask on his face. The girl who made Valentine feel his heart beat faster disappeared, and Dr. Noah once again disappeared into the darkness and became their commander.
"Complete the mission well, lots of benefits are waiting for you, come on."
When she left here, she gave Valentine a thumbs up and didn't forget to draw a delicious pie for her employees.
Of course, if she took off her mask and smiled at this moment, Valentin would still be willing to eat this air pie, but now he was really not touched by the thumbs-up expression in front of him.
Let's survive under Tallulah first...
No matter how good the benefits are after death, it will be useless.
Noah has left, and the hot blood in Valentine's body has cooled down, and he feels a little cold. Raphael glanced at Xing Yihuang outside, walked to Valentine, and squatted down.
"What did you say to the doctor just now?"
The smile on Sister Angel's face is very beautiful. Although it is not as deep-rooted as Noah's smile, it is very warm.
There is something strange in these words.
"What can I say? The boss takes care of the new subordinates every day to increase their trust."
Valentine brushed off the dust on Raphael's helmet and gently touched the shimmering halo.
The halo is solid, with a smooth surface and a slight warmth. It feels like a glass product. Valentine was wearing fingerless gloves, and the touch from his fingertips made him unable to put them down. He even wanted to take them off and take a closer look.
"oops!"
It seemed that the center of gravity of the crouching position was a little unstable, but the small force of the dragon man's fingers made Raphael face forward and almost fall down, as if his body had softened just like the voice just now. Valentin quickly let go of the halo and held the angel sister's arms with both hands to prevent her from falling into his arms.
"Are you OK?"
This sudden reaction also startled Valentin. He didn't expect that just pulling the halo lightly would have such a big impact on Raphael.
but……
This is a useful little detail that may come in handy for something in the future.
"No...it's okay."
Raphael's voice trembled slightly. She lowered her head, feeling dizzy.
Was there such a big reaction?
Valentin felt that this sister's behavior was a bit exaggerated.
"The halo... and the wings are the sensitive points of us Sakota people. Don't touch them too hard, and don't pull them at will. It will cause very 'serious' consequences."
As if he had adapted, Raphael raised his head and looked at the guy with an awkward smile in front of him, his tone a little angry.
Then, she laughed again: "But now I will only have this reaction if you do this. I'm afraid I won't feel anything at all about other people."
"ah?"
Valentine raised his eyelids, doubts evident in his words.
"Why?"
He felt that he would have to borrow a copy of "The Secret of the Sakota" from the library in Rhode Island in the future, otherwise sometimes he would really not know what this sister was talking about.
"You guess."
Raphael stood up and pulled Valentin up from the ground. Just now, Amiya gave an order to everyone in the communication channel: Dr. Noah and Kelsey will lead the team to the energy core underground in the center of the city, and Amiya and Rosemary will take the remaining two The team went to the command tower not far away and used the key to stop the core city, and then had a decisive battle with Tallulah.
"Or, after this mission is over, I will tell you the reason myself."
She reached out and pinched Valentin's cheek gently, and straightened the clothes of the boy in front of her.
"Let's see if your guess is right then."
Looking at the girl's smile and hands, Valentine's heart ached. The upcoming battle is still unknown. He doesn't know whether his physical fitness can perform to the same level as in the battle with the Patriots to withstand Tallulah's attack. He also doesn't know whether Amiya and Rosemary can withstand Tallulah's attack. Can the killer power be able to deal with the irritable dragon girl?
There is also Officer Chen who is still missing. From all aspects, Rhode Island had a slight advantage. It seemed that this task was not as difficult as he initially thought.
But, but...
Valentine picked up the two-handed sword and tied it behind his back with a rope. He walked at the end of the team, looking at the backs of Xing Yihuang and Raphael not far ahead, but the feet he stepped forward became heavier and heavier, as if filled with lead, and the clothes on his body were as heavy as a mountain, as if It was like smashing his whole body into the ground, like a nail riveted into the soil, and he could no longer move forward.
Is this fear?
Fear of impending fate?
If it's wrong, keep walking. If you can't leave, come back. If you have to bear the consequences, then bear them. If you want to die...
Then close your eyes.
