Alexandra's face looked unhappy. She had never heard such words before, but she could hear the ill intention in the words.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, how should I put it, ma'am, I guess you still don't know what your husband has done?

Cocolia, please talk to this lady."

Bai stood aside with a smile on his face, while Cocolia was silent for a moment and walked forward with a complicated expression.

"Hello, Mrs. Zaitchek. I think there's no need for a self-introduction for now. Let me tell you about Colonel Alexey."

Alexandra's eyes turned to her, and then she nodded slightly.

"Simply put, Colonel Alexei, your husband, stole and resold a large amount of munitions. As a former soldier, you should understand the consequences of such a thing being discovered."

"How is it possible to resell arms?!" Alexandra's face changed instantly.

At the very least, this kind of thing will result in a few years of imprisonment, and at the worst, you may be caught and shot on the spot. Moreover, now is a critical time in the war, and the treatment of this kind of thing will probably be even stricter.

"Do you think you can maintain your current standard of living with your monthly salary?"

“…” Alexandra’s face froze, and then gradually regained her composure.

Because of her pregnancy, their family's daily expenses were much higher than usual. She had also thought that her husband's salary might not be enough, but some time ago her husband told her that he had been noticed by a general, and that working for that general would pay more than before.

Her husband had reached the rank of colonel when he was only in his thirties or forties. It was normal for him to be noticed by a general and have his talent cultivated, so she did not doubt it too much.

But I didn't expect the truth to be like this.

She did not doubt the authenticity of the news, otherwise these two people would not have come to her.

Youyou sighed, and Alexandra quickly took out a pistol and pointed it at Bai, and with a "click" the bullet was loaded.

"If you die, no one else will know, right?" Hearing the sound of gunfire, Cocolia instinctively wanted to find a place to hide, but after noticing that Bai didn't move, she stopped.

Being pointed at by the pitch-black muzzle of a gun, Bai narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Ms. Alexandra, whether or not your shooting can pose a threat to me is another matter, but I can guarantee that my attitude towards you will definitely change slightly. Do you want to try?"

Alexandra held the pistol in silence, her eyes staring at Bai with changing expressions.

After a while, he dropped his arms weakly.

"Tell me, what are you going to ask me to do?"

She didn't see a trace of fear in Bai's eyes, which was enough to show that he came prepared. This place was also the residence of the families of the military district's colonel-level officials, so being able to come here was enough to prove Bai's strength.

Now that someone has a hold on us, whether we have equal strength or not, we can only become fish on the chopping board.

"A wise choice, Ms. Alexandra." Bai clapped his hands and walked out of the room with a relaxed look on his face.

“Cocolia, help your future partner clean up, you probably won’t be coming here again.

I'll give you half an hour, and you can leave when the time is up."

The door was closed, leaving the two of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

But there was not much time for hesitation, and Alexandra started to act.

Seeing this, Cocolia stepped forward to help.

"Hello, my name is Cocolia. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be your colleague in the future."

"Then can you tell me what kind of job I will be doing in the future? And why did you come to me?"

"Work... taking care of the children. I don't know why I chose you."

Alexandra paused and turned around in surprise.

"Taking care of the children?"

“Yes, I opened an orphanage, and there are too many children in it. I can’t take care of them all by myself, so he plans to help me find a companion.

As for why he came to you... I just met him today and don't know much about it."

"...Just like that?"

"It's just like this..."

"Then... why does he act like that... that abnormal person?" Alexandra was speechless. If he just wanted her to go to the orphanage to help, he could have just said it directly. Why did he act like he was trying to force her to do it?

"Maybe... it's just his bad taste?" Cocolia was a little unsure, but she found it hard to doubt that Bai, who was willing to provide such good conditions to a group of orphans, would be the kind of person who would force others to do things they didn't like.

"This hobby is really hard to accept."

"I think so."

......

Perhaps because they finally had some common topics, the atmosphere between the two seemed much more relaxed.

"By the way, Cocolia, the clothes you're wearing seem to be the military uniform here. Do you know my husband?"

"...know."

"Oh, so how did you meet? During a battle?"

"...I discovered the colonel was trafficking in arms and wanted to report him, but he sent me to prison and only brought me out today."

"...Sorry, I'll teach him a lesson when he gets back."

"It's okay, I can understand his difficulties."

It's all for the sake of making the people she cares about live a good life, it's just a bit extreme. Cocolia has also thought that if there comes a day when she has to hurt others to protect her family, she probably won't have too much hesitation at that time.

"Thank you. By the way, if we leave together, what will happen to my husband?"

"I don't know either. You can go ask him. I think he should be quite kind."

After all, I helped her fulfill her wish for almost nothing.

"That... I will. Better pack your things first."

Bai only gave them half an hour, so if they wanted to ask something, they had to leave some time.

Because she had a problem in her mind, Alexandra didn't say anything more and instructed Cocolia to speed up the cleaning.

It looked like they were going on a long journey, and Cocolia said that they wouldn't have to worry about daily necessities, so Alexandra only brought some necessities for the couple. There weren't many things, and two backpacks were enough to hold them all.

After packing up, there were still a few minutes left before half an hour. Cocolia was waiting in the house, and Alexandra pushed the door open and walked out.

Chapter 124: Uninvited Guests

Hearing the door open, Bai turned around, "Are you done packing? It's not time yet, you can continue thinking about whether there is anything you forgot."

Alexandra shook her head. "Nothing I've forgotten, but I do have one question."

"Your husband will leave here with you, and no one will ask questions."

"Why...why are you helping us like this?"

Since her husband was found guilty of arms trafficking, even if he was not discovered now because the war situation was not good, he would be exposed when the war situation improved in the future. Then her whole family would be doomed to death. Therefore, taking them away now could be said to have saved their lives.

Even if she was dissatisfied with what had just happened, she had to say thank you to Bai.

But before saying thank you, she wanted to understand why she was chosen. She and Bai Su didn't know each other, and there were many people in similar situations to her.

"Why? You might not believe it if I tell you."

"At least I want to know who I should thank."

"Is that so?" Bai chuckled, his eyes showing some other meanings. "If you must thank me, then thank you for having a good daughter."

"..."

Seeing that Bai didn't look like he was lying, Alexandra fell into deep thought.

How could she be told it was a daughter when her child wasn't even born yet? And what was the point of thanking her for having a good daughter? Could it be that the person in front of her had some relationship with her daughter?

"More than a decade later, your daughter and I have a very good relationship, so good that I can ask her to cook for me anytime."

"...You mean...the future?"

"Yes, I think you should have thought of names for your children by now, such as what to name a boy and what to name a girl."

"That's it..."

"So, Bronya, right?"

Alexandra fell silent again, because this was indeed the name she had prepared for her daughter.

"Since you have such a good relationship with my daughter, why did you do that just now?"

Since you have such a good relationship with her daughter, there is no need to offend her. Otherwise, if she says something, wouldn't you make yourself uncomfortable?

“First, I am only on good terms with your daughter, because without my current involvement, you and your husband will die within this month, so this is just the first time you and I have met.

Secondly, how should I put it, seeing you wanting to attack me but having no way out makes me happy, so...”

The corners of Alexandra's mouth twitched slightly. She never expected that it would be such a reason.

But he's going to die this month or something...

Alexandra sighed softly and smiled, "Thank you so much."

"No, you should thank your daughter."

"..."

Alexandra suddenly had the idea of ​​letting her daughter have less contact with Bai in the future.

"Okay, time's up, time to go. I have other things to do later."

"Is there not much time left to return to the present?"

"No, I have another little girl to deal with later."

"......" I'm increasingly reluctant to let my daughter have any contact with her. "You can also coax people?"

"At least I can make Bronya happy."

"Can we please stop talking about my daughter?"

"Oh, are you sure? I also want to tell you about your daughter's development so far since your death."

"...You tell me."

"After your death, your daughter became quite famous. She was adopted by the military and became a renowned assassin, nicknamed the 'Silver Wolf of the Ural Mountains'. She loved killing people with her stockings, and..."

"Forget it, let's just stop."

“But there are still many interesting things.”

"I'm not dead now, and my daughter will definitely not be like this in the future, so there's no need to listen to it."

"Oh, that's a shame."

......

The sun rises in the east, but I am not...cough cough.

When she woke up, she found that there was no one around her. Xilin lay down and took a deep breath. Then, with a satisfied smile, she went to heat up the breakfast that Bai had prepared long ago.

After a simple meal, Xilin returned to her room, took out a thin notebook, ignored the completed tasks recorded in the previous page, and turned to the latest page.

Thinking about the future in my mind, I began to write freely on it.

I thought the whole day would be spent in such a quiet atmosphere, but we were greeted by a group of uninvited guests.

As the two most prominent anti-Honkai organizations in the world today, there is no reason why Anti-Entropy would not get the news that Tianming gets.

When Cecilia passed the news of the Herrscher's birth to the Destiny Stone last night, the undercover agent planted by Anti-Entropy passed the news on without any hindrance, so Anti-Entropy's people were already on their way last night.

One with red hair, one with blue hair, and one with brown hair, a total of two men and one woman, brought a group of people to Siberia early this morning.

Out of distrust of Tianming, when he used the latest equipment to detect Tianming's location, he did not say hello, but secretly monitored him and set up his base at the angle between the Tower of Babel and Cecilia and the others, about 30km away from the Tower of Babel.

Then the one with red hair made arrangements at the base, while the one with blue hair and the one with brown hair came to the Tower of Babel together.

He thought he could sneak in quietly to get information, but the moment he came into contact with the Tower of Babylon, he was discovered by the Honkai Beast that Xilin had arranged to observe when Bai and Kiana would return.

When Walter, a young and passionate brown-haired man, saw the Honkai Beast, he immediately thought that this place had been occupied by the Herrscher, and then he crushed the "mosquito" to death without hesitation.

Then came the bland ridicule of Einstein, one of the most outstanding physicists of the 19th and 20th centuries and now one of the top anti-entropy scientists.

"That 'mosquito' was placed at the door and didn't attack us. It's likely that it was acting as a surveillance. If you kill it directly, it will only tell the Herrscher here two things.
