Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 252 Disgusting Things

The mind puppet's perception of the world is simple and follows its owner's.

The turnip is indeed plain, but it doesn't resemble its owner, mainly because of the way old Hedwin raised it.

Compared to most puppets whose awakening of their minds is almost always a matter of chance after a certain period of use, since Old Hydwin has a very high regard for mind puppets, he has already been providing relevant guidance during Carrot's military career.

Old Hedwin tends to give Turnip choices, even though the non-mental puppets are completely incapable of making choices on their own.

He would not just tell Carrot his own opinions, but would silently guide Carrot to feel and experience during non-combat periods.

Of course, this does not mean that he will not bring something to Carrot. It is impossible to imagine that the long-term companionship of day and night and life and death will have no influence at all, but Old Hydwin hopes that he is just the cornerstone of Carrot's growth, rather than the framework.

Under such influence, the time when Radish awakened his mind might be earlier than old Hedwin thought.

However, Luobo did not show any reaction. He just continued to observe for a while before making the decision to reveal his thoughts.

This was the first choice that Luobo made in the true sense.

It is very silent, and in old Hedwin's opinion is a "non-expressive" child, and most of the time it doesn't look like a mental puppet at all.

In fact, it is just used to watching silently.

However, it finds that what is more difficult than making a choice is telling its choice to people who trust it.

Because that choice may not necessarily be recognized by others, even by those who trust you.

However, it also chose to continue to place its trust in old Hedwin, and told its old partner a choice that was somewhat contrary to its identity: it did not want to fight anymore.

Accustomed to the smoke of gunpowder and trained on the battlefield, the war dolls are tired of the flames of war.

Old Hedwin did not agree.

He praised the tragedy that Radish had seen with his simple mind, and thanked Radish for telling him this idea, which would undoubtedly result in him being scrapped if it were shared during war.

But he disagreed with Radish's choice.

War is a terrible thing, but sometimes they have to take up arms. If their homeland is torn apart, then all other options are lost. The victors will take everything, and the war will end. Maybe peace will be created in the future, but what will happen to them and what they hold dear in the process?
At that time, Radish's young mind could not fully understand it. It did not have any stubbornness, regrets or sadness, but it left a deeper impression in Radish's heart: war is indeed a very disgusting thing.

It's so annoying that when it happens, it doesn't give people a choice.

After the end of the Skarloval secession war, old Hedwin retired and parted ways with Carrot for a while. However, after Carrot continued to serve for several years, he used his connections to help Carrot retire as well.

Although many of his weapons were removed before leaving, Luobo just felt extremely relaxed.

It doesn't have to continue doing things it hates.

When it met old Hedwin again, the man, who had a few more wrinkles than he remembered, introduced his family to it with a rare gentle smile.

It is also its future family.

However, "things are unpredictable" is the second lesson that Radish learned in this world.

The Hedwin family fell into poverty, either because of the poor management of the old man and his successors, or because of the great losses caused to the family by the exchange that was made in order to keep the young master alive.

The young master and his wife died unexpectedly while on duty, and old Hedwin entered old age with symptoms of frequent illness until he became unconscious.

Even I am getting older.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the little master grew up safely.

The only thing is that he doesn't seem to have inherited the genes of the Hedwin family, which is a small pity.

There are many unsatisfactory things. Even though they have protected their homes after the war, everyone seems to be stuck in a quagmire, struggling and sinking little by little.

It had asked old Hedwin if they had been abandoned by the country.

Old Hedwin suffered from dementia and shouted, "I forgot to throw away the garbage, and it's piled up like a mountain!" The rabbi did his housework and took out the garbage every day.

Luobo watched silently and felt that the annoying things were increasing in number.

Then when bad luck accumulates to a certain level, unpleasant things seem to come all at once.

The white wave is coming, and a nasty country is encountering nasty things. This does not mean that two negatives can turn into a positive. It will only make reality collapse like an avalanche, making it even more nasty.

If there really is a gear in this world that drives everything, then at least the gear that pulls the Hedwin family and Carrot is definitely rusty.

He walked fast and slow, throwing them into the garbage dump at one moment and forcing them to move when they were not ready at the next.

In the end, it was all over, and the gears gave them no choice.

From the time of that tragedy till now.

The anger and indignation in Luobo's heart had been accumulating and had never disappeared, but had only grown deeper and deeper.

When the phantom from another world met him, Luobo listened to the other party talking to him one-sidedly even though he didn't talk much.

Show it lots of things it hasn't seen before.

For a moment, I seemed to have returned to the time when my mind had just awakened. I felt so insignificant, and there were so many interesting and not annoying things.

Many of the things we like require us to do things we hate in order to protect them.

That shadow is like a world.

And this "world" once again gave Carrot the power to choose.

So Radish was able to make a choice for the first time in a long time - to choose to do what he had always hated.

……

Luobo found the fleeing people in white and the investigators from the supervisory agency, but when he saw them, they had already turned into corpses.

There were not many signs of fighting or struggling, and it seemed that he was killed in a surprise attack.

And the murderer who did all this was standing in front of him, a purple and black well-proportioned doll standing calmly in the middle of the road, as if waiting for it.

“Beep…”

Judging from the characteristics, it is not difficult to find that the other party is a mechanical puppet with the same origin as the killer puppet last night. It seems that there is no other purpose for appearing here at this time.

"Beep..."

But the other party's sudden question made Luobo slightly stunned.

[Do you think what you do is meaningful? ]

“Beep…”

【Have. 】

"Beep..."

[I understand your story... My master attaches great importance to his family. When he talks about his family, he is completely different from his usual self. I have tried to understand human family affection. I think the three of us are brothers and sisters. As long as we continue to follow the master's instructions, we can love our family for a long time just like the master.]

"Beep..." Meaningless signal sound.

"Beep..."

[However, the master's relatives all died in accidents, and Sanshiki is also gone. I am confused...]

Luobo raised his head slightly: "Dingdu..."

[It's very annoying, so you will be angry about it? ]

The puppet on the other side was silent for a long time: "Beep..."

[Our minds are very immature. Isshiki told us that we must not let the master and "mother" know that we have minds. And anger... I can't understand it. For all of this, I simply can't understand it. ]

“Beep…”

[If you want to try to understand, then you should be angry about such a disgusting thing.] "Beep...?"

“Beep…”

[You know that I killed all your master's relatives, and I can tell you that I also killed the Sanshi you mentioned. I am the source of your doubts. I did everything you should hate, and you should be angry about it.]

Zheng Fan was watching from the side. Upon hearing this, he turned to look at Luo Bo with some surprise, then smiled and looked away.

“…beep…”

[…Maybe. But I am still confused about it, and I am trying to seek your answer. This seems to be very meaningful, and I need time to experience it.]

As it spoke, the various parts of the puppet opened up, and several gun barrels were pointed at Radish: "Beep..."

【After it ends.】

Luobo didn't say anything else. The lance transformed from his right hand emitted white gas and heated up, and a red light flashed on his face.

The next moment, the muzzles of the two-style puppet's body fired purple high-temperature rays, dissolving and cutting everything they passed through. Such an unrestrained attack in the densely packed buildings of the slums directly turned the surrounding area into even larger ruins.

shhh-

Suddenly, several micro-missiles accurately avoided its rays and hit it.

After being hit, Ershi was shaken for a while, but quickly adjusted himself.

But Luobo had already approached him, sweeping with his lance followed by continuous stabbings, with great force and agility, and his tall body almost became a shadow in the steam.

The second type retreated step by step and tried to increase the distance, but the moment the carrot pierced the air with its lance and it dodged, the muzzle of the lance was exposed, and with a click, fire flew everywhere.

The armor on the chest of the Type 2 was blown to pieces in an instant, and its middleweight armor was quickly destroyed after just a few rounds of fighting.

Luobo used the jets from the lance to spin and propel himself in the air, and swung the lance around, but he only got a piece of scrap metal.

The second type of Jinchan shed its shell, exploding its armor and discarding some of its weapons to speed up and dodge the attack from Radish. The flight module was activated and it rose directly into the air, with the armor behind it opening.

The artillery fire was like flowers scattered from the sky, forming charming arcs in the air, and finally carpet-bombing a corner of the slum.

The thick smoke swallowed up everything below.

In Ershiki's field of vision, the locking mark moved quickly to try to lock on. It was sure that the opponent would not be easily defeated.

The next moment the lock mark reacted, the rusty chain had already swept over its head and bound its body. Luobo jumped up with brute force, and pulled the chain out of his sleeve with his left hand to grab the second style.

After getting closer, the hot air from the lance swept across his head, pulling it out in a straight trajectory and smashing it to the ground.

There was silence for a moment.

sizzle-

Notice the high energy reaction.

Carrot raised his chin slightly, and a strong light appeared in the smoke. Ershi's hands merged into a thick cannon muzzle and aimed at Carrot. The purple energy beam accumulated rapidly as the power core beat. The severely injured body could not withstand such high-energy mobilization and collapsed further.

There was clearly still enough energy left for evacuation, but Ershiki inexplicably made an alternative choice.

Nishiki and Luobo looked at each other from a distance, as if they confirmed something with each other.

emission!

A high-energy beam of light surged out, leaving a deep gully wherever it passed.

Carrot's lance trembled slightly, but was suddenly steady by a hand.

The terrifying beam of light rushed towards him, and the wind and waves it created washed the surroundings like an invisible wave. Zheng Fan, who was beside Luobo, put one hand in his pocket and helped Luobo adjust his lance with the other hand.

"What did I say before?"

Carrot nodded: "Dingdu..."

confidence.

White gas gushed out of his body, the temperature rose rapidly, and Radish faced the beam of light.

The lance and the light beam collided head-on and pierced into it. There was some resistance at first, but it soon became easier to use. After Carrot made the initial buffer, he accelerated without hesitation.

Whoosh!
Ride the lance and cut the beam.

Even some of the energy was collected along with it, and the lance was like a crystal purple crystal, raised towards the tattered Ershi, drawing an arc.

Whoa!

Ershiki's body shattered and scattered on the ground.

"Beep..."

[I showed my anger, and you spared me... Thank you...]

After the message was conveyed, Type 2 was completely scrapped.

Luobo's lance returned to his right hand, and he bent down to take out the extinguished power core of Type 2.

"This seems to be your first time communicating directly with other mental dolls? How does it feel?" Zheng Fan said curiously with his arms folded across his chest.

Luobo raised his shoulders and then put them down weakly: "Dingdu..."

Not very good, very annoying.

Zheng Fan laughed out loud: "That's good. After doing the things you hate for a long time, the things you like will follow."

“Didoo…?”

What is the principle?
"It doesn't make sense, it's just my personal experience." Zheng Fan waved his hand casually and turned to leave. "Let's go back and prepare breakfast for Little Potato. He must have been awakened by your noise."

Luobo scratched his boiled egg head, feeling a little embarrassed.

But he suddenly realized: "Beep..."

Cooking for the little master and taking care of him are indeed things I enjoy.

……

Hinton Street, Minks House.

Minx was dealing with various matters on his side. Although it was not easy, it was much easier to solve them alone than to solve them with others at a conference table.

When he took a short break, he closed his eyes gently, but the fatigue in his heart could not be shaken off, and he always felt uneasy. Has he become so neurotic because of the murder of his wife and daughter?
His brows knitted subconsciously, and in recent days, the wrinkles had almost become permanent: "Let's use the first and second moves together. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"Something went wrong." The glasses suddenly received a signal and the voice appeared.

"What!?"

"The Type 2 signal was interrupted. The energy level before the interruption was very high, it must be fighting fiercely with something."

"Why... aren't Nishiki and Ishiki together?!"

"Type 2 is responsible for the slums, and type 1 is responsible for the new urban area."

"Why didn't you go to support?! Didn't Type-2 send a distress signal? With Type-1's mobility, couldn't Type-2 hold on for that short while?" Mingx felt like he was going to have a nervous breakdown.

He had spent so much effort and exchanged so many benefits for these three dolls, but in less than a day, or even less than half a day, two of them were gone?!

"I don't know, but this is the fact. With the energy level reaction of Type 2, the commotion will be huge, and news should be available soon..." the voice could only say helplessly.

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the study door, followed by the butler's voice outside the room.

"Master! The slums...exploded!"
