Blessings to the beautiful stars

Chapter 155 Bones
Levina loosened her clenched fist.

In the restaurant under the night, the mouth-watering taste is still lingering under the orange lights and water vapor.

The steam touched the skin of Liangguling's fingers and then left, engulfed in a more delicious taste, and then drifted farther, arousing people's appetite doubly.

Although the elf maid's heart was clear, she knew that even if she tore the mouth of the lawyer in front of her, it would not change the facts she knew.

The lawyer is still waiting for his answer with a smile.

Levina stood up, and there was no trace of Liangguling in her eyes; but she was physically aroused so much that her appetite could not be quelled.

She had to go out for some air, to let the eternally cool evening breeze cleanse her lungs a little.

"...Sorry, Boss, you two are chatting."

As she spoke, she wiped the corner of her mouth hard and strode away.

Liangguling stuck out his tongue at Marika: "It seems that the start is not going well, professor, please help me to say more good things in the future."

Marika shrugged: "You and your family's technology is beyond doubt."

Zuo Wu moved his eyes and looked at Jin Mian, it was her turn to consult with the lawyer.

Hearing that the Star Sea Alliance is probably the only place in the Milky Way that is willing to speak out for the exterminated indigenous civilization, Jin Mian and her Yinggesou have experienced the Dilian's strong walls and clearing the wild, and of course they will feel hot in their hearts.

But after the orc lady listened to Liangguling's advice to Levina, that fiery enthusiasm was poured a basin of cold water.

She moved her cheeks unconsciously, and looked at the person she trusted the most—that is Zuo Wu, and happened to meet Zuo Wu's gaze.

His yellow eyes were filled with pleading for help, and Jin Mian didn't know how to speak for a while.

Zuo Wu scratched his hair and told the story of Ying Gesuo instead of Jin Mian. Of course, the matter about the creation of the gods was skipped.

The Chuangshen Calligraphy is a key clue to the Yinggesuo incident. It was skipped, leaving the structure of the story told by Zuo Wu somewhat fragmented.

Of course, Liangguling could hear the incongruity, so he didn't ask any questions, and drew circles on the table with his tender fingers:

"I probably understand what happened. It's just that, Miss Jinmian, being rejected by a customer face-to-face will make me lose face, so I have to tell you something in advance."

"What?" Jin Mian said, her voice was cold and hard.

"It's the justice and fairness you want, and it may come to you in a different form than you imagined."

Jinmian bared her fangs: "What do you mean?"

Liang Guling stopped drawing circles on the table:
"Like Miss Levina who left just now, according to the suggestion I gave her, if the first and second items are mixed together, what will she get?"

Jin Mian shook his head slowly, Liang Guling raised his fingers one by one:

"I think there is a high probability that the Imperial Union will recognize her soldiers who fought for the regime and make up a generous pension;"

"Then, the Imperial Union will make an extremely formal apology to her for the lack of efficacy of the anesthetic, and officials from all walks of life in charge of food and medical safety will come to visit her in an endless stream."

"Even so, a large number of them will be dismissed as a model."

"If I do it right, and with a little bit of luck, I'm even sure to bite off a share of the anesthesia manufacturer's company for Miss Levina, allowing her to jump directly up a class in the society of Imperial Union!"

As he said that, Liangguling's tone was unconsciously high-spirited.

The pharmaceutical company's anesthetic reagents have been practiced for a hundred years, so they should be foolproof; but Levina's physique is even rarer at the Imperial Union level.

That's why even if she was hung in the window and injected with anesthesia, she would still have intermittent memories.

Dilian attaches great importance to "humanity", which is why it prepared anesthetics, and it also used a rather gentle method of neutron killing when destroying Yinggesuo.

And mistakes like this in pharmaceutical companies are of course rare, and it's no wonder that the lawyers' association is so enthusiastic.

It's a pity that Levina didn't accept it, and Lianggu Ling could understand it.

Now facing Jin Mian, Bai Nen's lawyer slowly continued to tell Jin Mian what she understood:
"Unfortunately, such a result is probably not what Ms. Levina wants. What she wants is that someone will be responsible for her becoming food. The matter of wanting intelligent creatures to be eaten is cut off in the galaxy."

"Unfortunately, to achieve this goal, at least I don't think any lawyer can do it; even if it is achieved, is the compensation Miss Levina will get really as high as the plan I proposed?"

"Just like some tragic traffic accidents, the relatives of the deceased naturally hope that the victim will have proper care, and if the perpetrator is severely sentenced to prison, he will also be compensated;"

"Unfortunately, the former is an idiotic dream for most civilizations."

"As for the high compensation, the perpetrator cannot afford it alone, and of course his family has to be involved. But the reason why the family pays is obviously to hope that the perpetrator's punishment will be lightened. Why pay another huge amount of compensation?"

The lawyer chuckled: "This is only the case where the victim is dead. What if the victim is only seriously injured? Does the medical service they need need more money? They need to 'forgive' the perpetrator in exchange for compensation."

"Even, there are more than one family of victims, some are dead and some are alive; the justice of the families of the deceased is to allow the perpetrators to die, and the justice of the families of the injured is to hope that they will live to obtain compensation and fight for better medical care for their families. "

"The justice between them conflicts with each other; but there is only one perpetrator, and it is not enough."

Jin Mian said coldly, "That's really complicated."

Liang Guling waved his hand: "Perhaps, there is only one synonym that can fully summarize the justice that is different for each person, and that is 'interest'."

"I think 'justice' develops much slower than 'interest', and 'interest' has a common equivalent among most people and regimes, which is energy currency."

"As for 'justice', everyone has different standards in their hearts, and it is difficult to unify; I think this is a manifestation of extreme backwardness. It should have been completely equated with energy coins just like 'benefits'."

Jin Mian's pupils shrunk.

Finally, the lawyer's hand stopped making appetizing movements and stood still on the table, even with an extremely serious expression on his face:

So, Miss Jinmian, what I can do for you and your hometown where the tragedy happened is not to rectify your names, or make Dilian admit that it was a mistake to strengthen the walls and clear the wild, or devote myself to restoring the culture and population of Yinggesuo from now on. quantity.

"It's about getting as much money as possible for you. For this reason, my plan is to use you and Yinggesuo as other regimes' knives to stab the Imperial Union."

"You will still be aborigines, and you can only be aborigines; after all, the more pitiful and vulnerable the victim, the better."

"You will not become a group of people standing among the stars, but you will be raised to use your own tragic experiences to sue the Imperial Union...guests."

Jinmian's pupils shrank into needles: "Come on, wouldn't it be nice if you just said 'pet'?"

Liangguling shrugged: "The average life expectancy and quality of life of pets are countless times higher than those of wild populations."

"Billions of your compatriots have died in vain, and only 300 million people are left alive. Revival is an extravagant hope; isn't there someone among your compatriots who is tired of fleeing and just wants a peaceful life and a place to shelter from the wind and rain?"

"It should be noted that you are the first Yinggesuo people to reach the Star Sea Alliance, and your other compatriots are still wandering among the stars; the sooner you entrust me, the sooner I can make more Yinggesuo people become destitute. Worrying 'guest'."

The lawyer sighed:

"Of course, if you still pay more attention to the dignity of 'holding your head high among the stars', it is not the scope of my defense that I am good at."

"Out of friendship, I will introduce you to a lawyer who is good at protecting the 'ethnic dignity'. You Yinggesuo may become the heroes of many civilized fairy tales and sing for countless living beings."

"It's just that their methods slightly conflict with mine. If you want to entrust two companies, we may hinder each other... I hope you don't misunderstand. This is a fact, and it is by no means a threat."

"You are a customer, you can just think about it yourself."

……

Lianggu Ling's voice was sincere, but Jin Mian had difficulty breathing.

A few words at the dinner table is difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture of the Yinggesuo incident, especially when Zuo Wu concealed the existence of the "Creation of the Gods".

However, these few words pointed out two paths for Jin Mian.

Either become a pet, or become a hero sung in fairy tales; the two paths may have a chance to reconcile, but they are more likely to hold each other back.

There must be other ways, right?

But if not, every second he hesitated here, Jin Mian would feel more guilty towards the 300 million fleeing compatriots.

But Jin Mian is also wondering, why should he decide the fate of his compatriots?As the lawyer said, there is always someone who chooses dignity and someone who chooses life.

In a trance, the tall figure of the leader appeared in front of Miss Orc again.

Facing the pincer attack of the Imperial Alliance and Liaoyuan, the leader can only choose fewer paths than himself, and the information he knows is even less;
There are also observers who died in the arms of the leader, and it is even more impossible to have savings to hire lawyers who can coordinate between regimes.

not like myself...

In addition, the leader may choose to become a tyrant without hesitation, deciding for billions of people that they should die a painful death; but he is simply unable to bear the possible fate of 300 million people in the future.

Sure enough, longing is longing, and I have no way to become that figure, let alone decide the fate for so many people.

Escape is also an option.What's more, before such a heavy decision, can escape be called escape?

There is no need to talk with Liang Guling.

Jin Mian shook her head, stood up like Levina, and said to Zuo Wu, "Thank you, meow. Also, I'll take Della out for a stroll."

Zuo Wu nodded.

Martyr Xi, who had been silent all this time, interjected, "Take Li Si and Xi Yang with you."

The two gaseous little girls suddenly started to quarrel with dissatisfaction, and even Della was lured by her appetite, wanting to lie down on the table and cheat.

Fortunately, Jin Mian has been a nanny for a while, and she has her own experience in dealing with children; even coaxing, tricking, and adding a little skillful threat, she dragged the children away from the smell of food.

……

There was a sudden desertion in such a huge booth; the plate of incomparably delicious sashimi was not even touched.

Liangguling felt a little pity, squinted his eyes and observed for a while: "Everyone, it's almost past the best tasting time, why don't I make another plate for you...you guys?"

Zuo Wu was stunned for a moment, the dialect accent accidentally revealed by the lawyer in front of him seemed familiar?

Before Zuo Wu could come up with a conclusion.

It was King Li'e who stretched out his hand first: "I'm not so particular about it, you guys are pushing and shoving, it's extremely wasteful."

Xi Martyr was tongue-tied: "Wait, Li'e, it's not like you don't eat real things..."

"I'll try it, what's the matter?"

talking.

The gaseous woman picked a piece of sashimi, and there was a conspicuous gap in the beautifully arranged plate.

It's just that before the sashimi entered her body, King Lie shivered; she suddenly forgot to keep her human form for a long time, and she had already formed the habit of throwing food into her "mouth", but absorbed it directly through the air in her palm.

It's like white blood cells phagocytizing germs.

The sashimi melted quickly in King Li'e's body; Liang Guling watched, his eyes sparkled, many times more radiant than when he introduced the business as a lawyer just now.

Finally, when King Li'e was about to dissolve all the flesh in his body, he looked up and down Liang Guling in surprise: "Are you a gaseous creature?"

"of course not,"

Liang Guling opened his palms, moved his shoulders and neck, and made a clicking sound: "Just listen, how crisp my bones are when they move."

"Also, don't be too grumpy about sashimi, they are not entirely my body structure."

Zuo Wu raised his eyebrows and turned to Marika: "What do you mean?"

Marika smiled: "Liangguling is a 'skeleton man', and the flesh on her surface is just like your hair and nails, which can be shed and replaced at any time."

The voice just fell.

The lawyer flaunted the bone-cutting knife hanging from his waist, raised the knife with his hand, and gently cut a long cut on the white part of her elbow towards the fingertips.

Then, like taking off a glove, slowly slough out the white bones from the horrific wound.

Without the attachment of muscles, the gleaming bones can still move freely; Liang Guling even used this dense bone to make a scissors hand at Zuo Wu.

"It just so happens that this plate of sashimi is not suitable for consumption, so I'll give you another plate."

Turning the blade, Liang Guling cut off a whole piece of tissue that was still attached to her upper arm!

Then, with the flickering of the knife, the skin and flesh became a new plate of sashimi in an instant, and the plate was more delicate than the plate on the table.

"Please, this time I've paid for it."

Zuo Wu stared fixedly at Liang Guling's bones with his elbows down, and took a deep breath: "Can you take off all the skin from your body?!"

Liang Guling chuckled: "Of course, but a complete pair of skin and flesh is considered a special service, and only accepts appointments from regular customers."

As she spoke, drops of water began to gather on the exposed skeleton of her forearm; soon there was color, and a new thin layer of muscle regenerated.

Seeing this, Zuo Wu was particularly dissatisfied: "Please stop your regeneration, I just want to see your bones, and I have no interest in that mediocre flesh."
