Collapse, before and after civilization, I am the only one C

Klein responded in confusion, but there are not 25 hours in a day.

"…No, not a date!"

Look how childish he is, he can't even speak clearly.

Klein's face flushed red, and she wanted to argue with the other party, but her brain was slow to react due to long hours of overtime work.

"Then I won't go."

April shrugged, paid the money but didn't leave, standing aside to help the other party organize the goods.

Is it a matter of reciprocity?

"You asked me if there was a missing brother or sister at home. I want to go to the hospital for identification."

Klein held it in for a long time before finally whispering her thoughts weakly.

It's not that there aren't some who look similar, but the fact that the other party asked this question meant that he might be an orphan. It's also possible that he was just trying to flirt, but Klein still wanted to give it a try.

Watching Klein start to pay, April started to carry the goods for him so as not to affect the people in line behind him.

"I was just saying that before. After all, I don't need a biological sister at the moment."

April was too lazy to discuss the issue of gratitude for giving birth to and raising a child. After all, there was no need to discuss Klein's family situation.

Even if it was true, what would it matter? The other party was already dead.

"Oh."

Klein lowered his head, looking a little depressed. Come to think of it, if the other party was really a child abandoned by his parents, he probably wouldn't want to acknowledge this relative.

"Cheer up, girl, or do you really need a brother?"

"Of course, if you have any troubles, I don't mind sharing them with you on the phone."

Shaking the green cell phone, April wanted to rub the other person's little head, but her hands were full of things.

"No, no."

However, his expression did not improve. Klein just lowered his head and shook it like a pitiful little puppy.

"Then are you free tomorrow? I still want to ask you out for a chat."

Carefully poking the boy, Klein asked quietly, as if he were a puppy at home asking for attention.

It’s not that I have to describe April as a puppy, but at this moment, Klein really looks like a listless puppy begging for care from its owner.

"...Tomorrow night, I should be free."

Klein's eyes were almost visibly filled with joy, but April didn't feel much. She handed the other person the things he bought and walked side by side.

"By the way, remember to get some rest. If I find you still looking like you're going to die the next day, I'll leave right away. I don't want to send anyone to the hospital so late at night."

"I'll try my best..."

Klein twitched her lips unhappily. This request was indeed a bit difficult for her.

Because of psychological problems, she would dream about the tragedy almost every time she went to sleep. The shadow of her parents kept lingering in her dreams, and she hated sleeping.

"Whatever you say. Anyway, if you're still like this the next day, I'll leave right away."

However, April did not sympathize with the girl's thoughts. Although she knew her difficulties, but... she really looked like she was about to die suddenly.

It would be fun if the other party really sent it.

"I see……"

"Then see you tomorrow night, Miss. My name is Huai Xuhui, you can just call me April."

Klein sniffed. Oh no! He might really have another relative.

"My name is Klein. See you tomorrow night."

Unfortunately, Klein's birthday is also in April.

Although I don’t know what the name Huai Xuhui means, but his nickname is April, so he probably wasn’t born in any other month.

Thinking of this, Klein's eyes softened a little, but soon turned into discouragement again.

But the other party didn't want to recognize him at all.

Just as she fell into her own little world, she realized... the other person had gone far away.

But are there any big companies in that field?

Never mind, I’ll ask in the evening.

…………

In the Poison Pupa's office, Lark looked at the two large bags of snacks next to the desk and his eyes twitched.

You are allowed to buy snacks, but where do you get them?

"April, this is a poisonous pupa!"

"I know. I also know that you are the person in charge of personnel for the Poison Pupa."

April bought a lot of snacks, mostly double portions, and he pushed half of them to Lark.

"Yes, I haven't tried these before, let's try them together."

bribe.

Blatant bribery!

The lark was so angry that he didn't say anything, but just took it in silently, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Although she no longer lacks money to buy food, snacks shared by others always make her happy.

…………

"Hey, but you just said, if I give you an apple to eat, you will give me an orange?"

The silly pink-haired girl seemed to be right in front of him, and that was one of the rare times when he was successful in deceiving others.

"You're lying. I don't have any oranges. You've been fooled."

"Well, let's just take this as a lesson... This is the only way the people here can survive."

Moreover, she was still very complacent at the time, and warned the girl as a person who had experienced it.

"Oh."

"Then I have two candies left. I'll give them to you, too. We can each have one."

But the girl did not listen to her warning, but realized that she had no choice but to do this if she wanted to survive.

…………

After recalling many things, Lark said nothing in the end. She only had two friends she recognized in the past.

At that time, she didn't think that the girl she deceived had a child.

The other person was just nearby, using needle and thread to mend clothes for other orphans for free, while he ate the food rations for both of them.

"Come to think of it, you and Alicia were often hungry later on, so you are so short."

Chuckling, Lark held his chin and asked curiously.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is short. April, who was 16 years old, is the same height as Alicia. Now he is 17 years old and is exactly meters tall. It can only be said that he barely reaches the minimum standard of a normal teenager.

The lark is 1.73 meters tall, and if it wears height-increasing shoes, it can be four and a half heads taller.

Of course, she had stopped growing a long time ago, but April's growth curve... might not be that high.

"It will grow longer, I'm sure of it."

He didn't say this with full confidence, as his height reduction was recorded on the system panel. In his previous life, he was only about 1.8 meters tall, so it would probably be difficult for him to surpass Lark in this life.

With his head lowered, April began to familiarize himself with the job of Poison Pupa. Of course, it was not about killing people, but more about information screening.

"If you have any questions, just ask me. Although I don't like to argue, there is nothing I can't handle for the Poison Pupa."

Although she is always criticized by her boss for backing down beautifully, it is mostly because of the losses she has suffered in the past. She has survived after suffering so many losses, which shows that she is not weak.

In addition, I had a good relationship with my boss before and had handled all kinds of work, so this statement is not an exaggeration.

April nodded.

The job of the poison pupa is certainly not simply to kill people, it is more about collecting information and extracting the truth from the information.

Although it sounds a bit like the Imperial Guards, they don't have an emperor, and their power is barely sufficient, at least for now.

"By the way, Senior Lark, why did you choose to become a killer?"

He had been wondering for more than ten years why the girl who was influenced by Alicia had become a famous killer when they met again?

"Because I'm an orphan, I have no choice."

The lark's expression was neither sad nor upset; it just stated things calmly.

Just eight words, no emotion expressed, but April was speechless.

Things are unpredictable.

"I didn't take good care of my passion and ideals, and let them fade away over time."

"Fortunately, Alicia took care of her. She is still as enthusiastic and cheerful as ever, silly and stupid. She hasn't changed."

"Oh, you've seen it too. Although the form is different, you're still the same character."

"By the way, are you still sewing clothes now?"

The lark looked at the other person gently, not caring about the other person's presumptuous questions.

"Of course, I designed Alicia's uniform. It looks great, doesn't it?"

I'm quite proud to say that!

Lark wanted to talk about the past and ask the other party for help, but when she thought about Alicia's appearance, she forced herself to stop thinking about it.

"Well, it's pretty nice, but a little beyond its time."

In this era when women's short shorts are paired with leg-loop stockings, or cheongsam tights and cotton shirts are popular, bare-legged shorts with T-shirts and short jackets are somewhat non-mainstream.

Conservative exception...

Sure enough, in anime, the plots where you meet a beautiful boss or a beautiful colleague at work and have various encounters do not exist.

April knew almost everything about the poisonous pupa and it wasn't new to her at all.

At present, there are not many personnel changes in Poison Pupa. The most noteworthy thing is that Imer has found a position that suits his ability.

As the work was about to get off work, Lark tapped the table. Because of the special nature of the poison pupa, she could access some information that others could not.

For example, the factions that April and Alicia belong to at the moment.

"You don't actually need to come here, do you?"

"You and Jun should get along pretty well."

Coupled with the star effect of Alicia at the moment, April's actions are no different from a genius with a clean family background who could have lived a life of idleness and waiting for death but instead devoted himself to the killer industry.

"It's pretty good, but he has a son after all. Well, I'm already satisfied that he's willing to teach me."

"I still want to continue learning something, maybe it will be useful."

Although it hurts to say it, it is the truth.

It seems that the Second Herrscher has passed, but when you turn to the next page, it is still not the end of the volume, but a new beginning and a new challenge.

It is regrettable that the last brave warrior who had developed quite well has no role to play in the new era and has been killed.

The one who has appeared so far is Alysia, who is invincible, simple, but already knows the evils of the world!

After a moment of silence, the lark nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Today's work is easy, but since you have joined the Poison Pupa, you must be prepared to kill people. April, you should be able to accept it, right?"

Of course, the lark can also use some authority to make the other party do some ordinary work all the time, but this is a poisonous pupa.

Now that you're here, don't think that you can avoid bad things. This place called Poison Pupa is not a place for playing house.
