Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 186 Sister, can you teach me how to apologize?
The young Bai Yuekui was stunned; she had never imagined this was possible.

In her short but successful life, she never said goodbye to anyone close to her except her mother, and her mother's tragedy was so unique that she never thought that anyone else around her might also leave her.

Especially Bai Jingyu.

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

The young Bai Yuekui forced a smile: "When I most wanted him dead, he was the mayor of Jiuchuan City, wielding great power and doing whatever he wanted. He was incredibly powerful!"

"I finally repented, but he suddenly died?"

"how can that be possible?"

The young Bai Yuekui was unwilling to think deeply.

She changed the subject: "Sis, what would you like to eat? I'll go out and buy you some."

However, Bai Yuekui remained unmoved.

"Did you know that Hela's fleet is approaching the waters near Hisakawa? It's ostensibly an exercise, but the personnel and ships are fully armed and fueled."

Bai Yuekui said in a deep voice, "Hela's aerospace forces are also being secretly mobilized. Before long, Jiuchuan will face a nuclear threat from space, and Jiuchuan currently has no way to counter it."

The young Bai Yuekui was stunned.

She is a scientist who doesn't usually pay attention to military news.

Even if she paid attention, she wouldn't know the inside information.

"Why?" she asked, still somewhat doubtful.

Hela dispatched a heavily armed fleet to approach Jiuchuan under the guise of an exercise, and also secretly mobilized the aerospace force. What does Hela want to do to Jiuchuan?
Hisakawa is the experimental special zone of the Coastal Alliance!

Moreover, Hela helped Jiuchuan become an experimental special zone and helped Bai Jingyu become the mayor of Jiuchuan City.

“For ASH,” Bai Yuekui replied.

"Emperor Helu of the Hela Empire wanted to integrate ASH into SITA to achieve silicon-based ascension for humanity, but my father believed that silicon-based ascension was racial self-extinction and firmly disagreed."

"The last time my father was attacked at the interstellar dock, it was Hlu who personally ordered it."

"My father was lucky to escape this calamity."

If it weren't for the temporary opening of a parallel universe and the summoning of reinforcements from Dragon Bone Village, Bai Jingyu wouldn't be sitting comfortably in Jiuchuan right now. At best, he would have become Helu's prisoner, unable to control his own destiny.

The young Bai Yuekui stammered, "Doesn't the Coastal Alliance care?"

"Naive," Bai Yuekui said softly.

"The Hela Empire monopolizes nuclear fusion technology and is the most powerful member of the Coastal Alliance."

"Moreover, it's not just the Hela Empire; other member states of the alliance also want ASH. Once Father dies, Hisakawa will be leaderless, and ASH will be theirs for the taking."

"The entire alliance welcomes Hela's actions."

"They wish their father were dead."

The young Bai Yuekui was dumbfounded; she couldn't accept the current situation Bai Yuekui described.

But rational thinking tells her that this is very likely true.

but
She clenched her teeth.

Finally, she mustered up the courage to retort, "But murder is against the law!"

Bai Yuekui stared at her intently.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.
The young Bai Yuekui lowered his head, no longer daring to look his sister in the eye.

Bai Yuekui spoke up: "Hela is already preparing to nuclearly purge Jiuchuan, do they still care about killing one person? And who can hold them accountable?"

"You're naive because someone is protecting you very well."

"But in this era, naivety can not only harm yourself, but also others."

You need to mature as soon as possible.

So, that person is going against the entire Coastal Alliance?

The young Bai Yuekui was speechless.

Hisakawa is just a city, while the Coastal Alliance is a super alliance composed of hundreds of countries. How can that person possibly fight against the entire alliance with the power of a single city?

If it fails.
Bai Yuekui took a deep breath and continued, "Father will not only face internal strife among humans, but also the targeting by higher-dimensional beings. The appearance of the King-level Devouring Beast is a case in point."

"ASH has the potential to combat higher-dimensional beings."

"The father of ASH and ASH itself are both thorns in the side of higher-dimensional beings."

"Higher-dimensional beings will eliminate them at all costs."

Bai Yuekui said earnestly, "You've seen my situation too."

"My limit is one strike. If two king-level Devouring Beasts appear in quick succession, I can't even protect myself, let alone my father."

"Do you still believe that your father will definitely not die?"

The young Bai Yuekui fell silent.

After hearing these words, she suddenly realized that Bai Jingyu's situation was actually very dangerous.

He appears to be the mayor of Hisakawa City, wielding great power and enjoying unparalleled prestige, but facing the covetousness of the entire Coastal Alliance, one wrong move could lead to total defeat.

It's like standing on the edge of an abyss, like walking on thin ice.

These eight words perfectly describe Bai Jingyu.

"You wouldn't want to finally muster up the courage to apologize, only to find that the person you're going to apologize to is already dead, would you?" Bai Yuekui pressed his advantage.

That's how she was back then.

Having finally learned the truth and realizing the meticulous care Bai Jingyu had shown her since childhood, she mustered the courage to apologize to Bai Jingyu, sever ties with her past self, and start a new life.
As a result, Bai Jingyu died.

The words she couldn't say before the apocalypse, she never had the chance to say after the apocalypse, and they remained buried in her heart for a lifetime.

Guilt sealed those words away, like a heavy stone. Whenever she was in a good mood, this stone would suddenly wake her up, dragging her into painful memories from which she could not extricate herself.

She didn't want to repeat her past mistakes.

Bai Yuekui patiently advised, "Speaking out might make you feel bad for a while, but if you don't speak out, you might regret it for the rest of your life, and you'll never have a chance to make amends!"

"Stop talking, sister," the young Bai Yuekui replied.

"I understand your idea."

"I will find time to talk to him about my feelings as soon as possible, and I won't keep those words bottled up forever."

The young Bai Yuekui had a complicated expression.

Just like her initial subconscious reaction, she didn't want to apologize to Bai Jingyu.

But she was persuaded.

Bai Jingyu has to face both the Coastal Alliance and the apocalypse. She might sacrifice herself one day. If she doesn't get to say what she wants to say by then, she might regret it for the rest of her life.

The young Bai Yuekui looked down at his feet, his gaze falling on the fruit basket she had brought.

She was in a daze.

After talking for so long and in such depth, she almost forgot that she had come to visit a patient; she felt as if she had received a spiritual cleansing.

You should apologize to that person as soon as possible.

My sister is right. Apologizing might make you feel bad for a little while, but not apologizing might make you feel bad for a lifetime.

I am as smart as snow, I cannot make such a mistake.

But how should I apologize?
Dad, I was wrong—this was such a perfunctory response!
Young Bai Yuekui hesitated, then cautiously asked, "Sister, can you teach me how to apologize? This is so important, I don't know how to express it properly."

Bai Yuekui was stunned.

Like a pebble thrown into a hole many years ago, it finally landed today, making a sound and stirring up ripples in her heart.

"Okay," she murmured.

The sound was light and airy, as if afraid of breaking something.
