I am in the abyss of Collapse
Page 18
She planned to walk around the town and take a look at its appearance.
This is a typical Eastern European town. Almost all the buildings are made of brick, stone and wood. There are generally few windows and small openings. The roofs are pointed to prevent them from collapsing due to snow accumulation.
Walking through the town, Luo Lin could see a series of modern facilities, such as street lights, electric wires, asphalt roads, iron fences produced in factories, and garages next to some houses that did not quite match the buildings and were obviously added later.
But this town has a feeling of being independent of the historical process. The road surface is dilapidated, uneven, and overgrown with weeds. The street lights are not in very good condition. Several are obviously broken, and the rest only flash dimly at night.
Luo Lin continued to observe the town and unexpectedly discovered that there were quite a few people here. It was just that most people drove out of the town early in the morning to work in larger towns nearby. The rest were basically preschoolers and the elderly.
According to Grandma Dalia, when the weather is good, the elderly and children will go shopping or sunbathe on the streets of the town, while the children will run and play around, and the neighbors are quite harmonious.
But before Luo Lin came, the snowstorm lasted for several days, and a thick layer of snow piled up on the street, so the elderly and children did not go out.
"Dudu!"
The huge snowplow was struggling to move through the snow-covered streets, and the driver honked to signal Luo Lin to pull over. The girl covered her hat carefully and watched the snowplow bump by, leaving a path that should allow vehicles to pass normally.
She also saw some people shoveling snow in front of their doors, looking obviously tired. Some people simply chose to clear a path out of the house, while others simply gave up and walked out on the snow.
Luo Lin looked up. The sky was much clearer than yesterday. According to information from the intelligence department, it would be sunny for the next few days.
Perhaps because the snow had stopped and the sun was shining, the children gradually poked their heads out. They looked at the thick blanket of snow outside, cheered and started playing, making snowmen, having snowball fights... A dozen familiar children were running on the street.
The sight of these children reminded Luo Lin of little Bianca, and then she thought of the other children in the French orphanage... She shuddered, those overly lively guys were really hard to deal with.
"Where's Xiaobai?"
"Xiao Bai is probably still locked up at home!"
Xiaobai? Who is Xiaobai?
Luo Lin vaguely heard the children discussing someone, and raised her head to look in a certain direction of the town. The girl followed their line of sight and saw the house at the very edge of the town - that was where Siegfried lived.
The sharp-eyed Luo Lin could see a small figure behind the window on the second floor of the house.
——It was Kiana, or K423.
She had white hair tied into two braids. Her right eye looked a little dull, while her other good eye was staring straight at the scenery outside, especially the children who were laughing and playing.
"Xiaobai, come out and play!"
"Come and have a snowball fight!"
The children shouted, and the white-haired girl's face was full of desire. She turned her head and saw Siegfried with a gloomy face next to her.
"Dad? Can I go out and play?"
"No... forget it, go and have fun." Siegfried wanted to refuse, but thinking of what the old man said yesterday, he made a decision after some hesitation, "Don't run too far, remember to come back early."
"Great!"
The white-haired ball cheered as he rushed downstairs, kicked open the door of his house, and rushed into the group of children.
The children warmly welcomed Kiana and invited her to join in the snowman-making activity.
Luo Lin saw it clearly, and Kiana also showed the extraordinary strength of the Kaslana family very early on. She picked up a snowball half a person's height and piled it up, which made the children around her marvel again and again.
But Luo Lin did not stay there for too long. Soon she felt a fierce gaze locked on her. Siegfried appeared nearby at some point and was staring at her.
Luo Lin didn't want to get entangled with him, so she turned around and left.
"Hmph, you know what's going on..."
Siegfried crossed his arms and watched Kiana playing with other children from afar with a gentle look in his eyes.
It’s a pity that Siegfried didn’t get to enjoy such a peaceful life for long, as he took the initiative to go out and wipe out the Honkai beasts.
After leaving Destiny and Anti-Entropy, the man had lost all convenient ways to detect Honkai beasts. He could only patrol the surrounding areas by car, relying on his S-level keen Honkai energy perception to search for possible enemies.
This work is time-consuming and laborious, but it is very effective. Siegfried can kill some Honkai beasts almost every few days.
However, this situation also made Siegfried increasingly uneasy. Recently, he found that the number of Honkai beasts was gradually increasing, and their strength was also slightly improved...
Is there something attracting the Honkai beast?
He returned to the town every two or three days, accompanied Kiana for a day, and then continued to look for the traces of the Honkai beast.
Siegfried, who still doesn't know the truth, travels around Eastern Europe, trying to protect the peace of mankind.
As for Kiana, Siegfried had stored a batch of instant food products at home, which only needed to be microwaved briefly. Of course, he believed that Kiana could take care of herself, and he also believed that the kind neighbors in the town would not sit idly by... just like before.
As for Kiana who stayed in the town... She and her friends lived well, happily playing snowball fights before the snow melted, and playing hide-and-seek afterwards...
Then, the white-haired ball went to Grandma Dalia's house for meals, Grandpa Burns' house for meals, and Uncle Herman's house for meals... After eating, he returned home and continued to eat something to fill his stomach.
The children were very curious about Luo Lin. After this girl came to this small town, she became a new and interesting sight:
Luo Lin would stroll through the streets of the town, wearing simple clothes and observing the surrounding scenery.
Sometimes I would stay somewhere quietly for a long time, gesturing with something in my hand, as if I wanted to engrave the scenery deeply in my mind.
Since she came, Grandma Dalia's shop has become well organized, and there are even a few more paintings on the walls, all of which are the scenery of the town and people's smiles...
Dalia told the children that Luo Lin was a painter and came here to take pictures.
The children were extremely curious about the house where Luo Lin lived. They were curious about how an outsider would decorate the house and how the painter lived.
Finally one day, the boldest kid among the kids came up with a new suggestion.
"Let's go explore the house of the new guy who moved into town!"

Volume 35: Charge to the Sky Law in the Snowfield: Chapter : Contact with the White-haired Dumpling
After consulting with Grandma Dalia, the children decided to visit the home of the town's new resident at nine o'clock in the morning.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
"Here I come--ah, hello!"
When she opened the door, Luo Lin was startled to see so many children crowding at her doorstep, but she quickly adjusted her demeanor, smiled as usual, and greeted the children.
The children felt a certain aura from Luo Lin (perhaps the aura of a teacher?). The noisy little kids soon quieted down and greeted Luo Lin obediently.
The girl immediately spotted Kiana Kaslana among the children. She seemed a little uneasy about the idea of coming to play with Luo Lin, but she followed her in the end.
Now, the white-haired ball shrank slightly when Luo Lin's gaze swept over it.
Luo Lin couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. She looked at the hair on little Qiana's head that stood up because of nervousness, and suddenly wanted to reach out and touch it.
I don’t know how it feels compared to Little Bianca?
Thinking of this, Luo Lin suddenly realized that she seemed to have come into contact with the two most important characters of Honkai Impact 3rd's main character group, but the time was a little bit early.
"Come in, it's so cold standing at the door!"
Luo Lin stepped aside and led the children into the house.
As soon as you enter the room, you are hit by the heat and what catches your eye are the easels that fill the entire room. There are various paintings on the easels, some of which seem to be completed, while others are still half-finished.
The table was filled with paint cans and palettes of various colors were stacked on one side. The air was filled with a slightly pungent smell of paint, which made a child sneeze loudly.
Luo Lin slapped her head and said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, some paints don't smell very good. I'll open the window to let you get some fresh air."
Although the window was open to let in some cool air, the smell of paint faded a lot after a few minutes.
The children didn't really care about this little episode. They looked at the works on the easel excitedly and commented on the contents.
“This is Grandma Dalia’s store!”
“This is the hillside behind my house!”
“The alley where we often play hide and seek!”
The paintings all depict town scenes that are familiar to the children, and judging by their simple aesthetic taste, the paintings are excellent.
In fact, even if you let people who understand art look at them, the basic skills of these paintings are all online, and there is no problem generally speaking.
In order to disguise herself as a painter, Luo Lin even spent a small amount of crystals (less than half of the settlement reward, so it was a small amount) to buy basic painting skills in the store.
Luo Lin pretended to go to the kitchen to get food, but in fact she took out a bunch of biscuits from the system space under cover. She brought out a basket of sandwich biscuits and stuffed them into the children's hands.
The children thanked the chef repeatedly. The impatient ones bit into the cookies right away and shouted that they were delicious. Others could not help themselves and quickly finished the cookies that were stuffed into their hands. Then they looked eagerly into the basket beside them.
"Eat it. Look how anxious you are...but don't touch my paintings with your hands covered with biscuit crumbs."
Luo Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She first warned them not to touch anything. Then she took out some paper cups and poured some hot water for each of them from the kettle beside the fireplace.
The children felt relieved and crowded onto the sofa in the living room, grabbing food from the cookie basket.
Among them, Kiana was the most enthusiastic in grabbing the snacks. After discovering that Luo Lin didn't seem to care about these snacks, Kiana let go and swept the battlefield like a gluttonous beast.
The biscuits were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their destination was very clear, which was little Kiana's stomach, but her little belly didn't react at all.
Seeing this, Luo Lin could only sigh that Kiana had an amazing appetite. Everyone in the Kaslana family had special skills... She had to take out another basket of biscuits from the system warehouse, which barely met the needs of the other children.
Baking by the hot fire and eating delicious biscuits, the children became quiet. Perhaps because they felt grateful for the food they had eaten, they did not even make a loud noise. They just excitedly discussed in low voices what they had seen and heard.
"Sister, did you draw all these pictures?"
"Of course, how is it, is my sister's painting good?"
"it is good!"
"Sister, what is this?"
Luo Lin looked in the direction the child pointed and saw on the canvas the scenery she had seen when she was teaching at the orphanage before - the plants that Captain Ragnar and the children had planted behind the orphanage were glowing golden under the sunlight.
"This... this is the beautiful scenery I saw when I was traveling in France. The children there are as cute as you."
Although they may seem a bit annoying at first, after spending some time with them and getting familiar with them, you will find that children do have some cute qualities.
"Where is France?" one of the children asked.
Another child rushed to answer: "I heard from my father that it is a very far place!"
"Wow! It's very far away!"
For these children, the farthest place they have ever been to is probably the big town where their family members work. To them, a place name like France does not sound as impressive as "a place far, far away".
So they began to ask Luo Lin all kinds of wild questions, such as what do French children eat, whether there is as much snow in France as in the town, and whether there are huge dogs like the ones Uncle Jason has at home. Luo Lin listened to their descriptions and felt that they might be sled dogs...
The girl patiently answered their questions and in a trance she found the feeling of teaching children in an orphanage.
"Okay, kids, anything else?"
Luo Lin was answering questions while drawing on the drawing board. By the time the children had asked most of their questions and were thirsty from talking, had finished all the water in their cups and eaten all the biscuits on the table, she had almost finished the drawing.
She turned the sketchpad over and showed it to the children.
It was a quick sketch, drawn with a pencil, showing a scene of children crowded on the sofa eating cookies. The most eye-catching one was Kiana, who was sitting in the front. She grabbed a cookie in each hand, opened her bloody mouth wide, and ate happily.
Seeing this scene, Kiana's face suddenly turned red. She wiped the biscuit crumbs from the corner of her mouth and scratched her head embarrassedly.
"Because it's so delicious..."
"Greedy little fellow, it's not like I won't give you food in the future... Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated?"
The children understood what Luo Lin meant and felt it was a little unbelievable.
Luo Lin smiled and pinched the white-haired ball's cheek, saying, "You're welcome to visit me again in the future, but don't eat so much every time. My cookies are almost eaten up by you little greedy ghosts."
——This is a great opportunity to get in touch with Kiana, she won’t refuse it.
Volume 36: Charge to the Sky Law in the Snowfield: Chapter Chapter : A golden light flashed in her eyes
In this way, Luo Lin and Kiana naturally became friends.
She came to Luo Lin's house with other children and finished the snacks Luo Lin brought to her at a speed far beyond normal.
Maybe she felt a little embarrassed to be stared at like this all the time, so Kiana subconsciously ate a little less (not much less of course). However, she was still discovered by Luo Lin who had been keeping an eye on her. The girl quietly told her that she could take a little more before leaving, which made the white-haired dumpling blush.
Later, after Kiana and Luo Lin became familiar with each other, she would come alone to eat snacks, just like she was eating at other people's homes in town.
Then, Luo Lin pinched Kiana's face and touched her head. The white-haired girl didn't mind at all, and seemed to think that this was the "price" she should pay in exchange for snacks.
While the relationship between Luo Lin and Kiana is rapidly developing, the large-scale TV series "Saint Freya's Gold Medal Lecturer Goes All Out to Assist the B-Class Valkyrie to Reach New Heights" is also being performed in the system space.
After figuring it out, Wuliangta Jizi ignited her fighting spirit and vowed to impart all she had learned in her life to Luo Lin.
