I'm not Yingjie

"Sister Mei said..."

"……no."

"You don't believe me?" Mei immediately realized the problem.

"Produce sufficient evidence, otherwise you'd better not go too deep."

Kosmo said this, turned around and left.

The "painting" that had been beside him and had not been noticed by Mei suddenly moved.

It transformed into a monster with bared fangs and claws and pounced on Mei.

Chapter 65: The Man of Miracles Part 4

Help humanity?

As the girl looked at Kevin and Alicia who were talking from afar, a thought popped into her mind that made her stop chewing for a few seconds, and then she returned to normal after swallowing the food in her mouth.

This statement is very subtle. What is helping humanity? What is the scope and content of this definition?

But she would not deny that she was helping humans.

At least… not now.

The invisible girl took one last look at the two people who were still talking and paying full attention to her, then turned and left the corridor, gradually exiting her invisible state where no one could see her.

"You are...MSA-970?"

The hesitant voice made her stop. Kosmo was standing not far from the corner ahead.

"...Kosmo." She naturally recognized this person.

"..."

"Speak, don't think a lot and then not speak." The girl spoke directly and interrupted Kosmo's complicated psychological activities. After one contact, she could see that this person was used to his own wild thoughts. Originally, she was not the type who would not bother to talk unless others asked, but it was too tiring to talk to someone like Kosmo and guess his psychological activities.

Kosmo was shocked. This person saw through his divergent thoughts at once. Should he say that he was worthy of being taught by Captain Lin?

"Last time... I'm sorry, I was too emotional." Kosmo wanted to apologize to the girl. He could understand the girl's thoughts very well. After all, he was the same. It's just that he had been in the Fire Moth for several years and still couldn't control his emotions. It was really inappropriate for him to argue with others about such boring things.

So looking for her this time can be considered as making up for my mistake. I believe Kevin would do the same if he were in the same position.

The girl tilted her head: "It doesn't matter."

"Oh……"

The conversation between the two came to a stalemate again. Kosmo simply didn't know how to start, and the girl was in contact with Lin most of the time. Lin spoke very rarely, and they mostly understood each other without communicating.

"Want to go eat something?"

The girl asked abruptly.

……

"Shenzhou wonton noodles... Lin originally said he would make it for me, but before I could eat it, we separated to carry out our missions."

The girl broke open the disposable chopsticks, picked up the noodles of even thickness, lifted her helmet, put the noodles to her mouth, and began to eat with a slurp.

"Um, you..." Kosmo saw that most of the bowl of noodles was gone in an instant, and suddenly he didn't know how to evaluate this girl.

How come he looks so gentle while eating, but eats so frighteningly fast?

The girl raised her eyelids and glanced at him: "Speak, don't use cold violence on me."

“…This isn’t cold violence.”

"You're neither eating the noodles nor talking. You're just sitting there with no expression on your face." The girl put down her chopsticks and burped softly. "Isn't that just using the cold shoulder on me?"

"..."

In the blink of an eye, the girl had eaten the whole bowl of noodles. Kosmo didn't even see how she finished it, and the noodles in front of him were still hot and he hadn't started to eat them yet.

How to put it, this girl gave him the feeling of Wei Li, whom he had only met a few times. Her thoughts were too jumpy, even more so than Wei Li's. Wei Li at least had a basis in reality and logic, but this girl seemed to act on impulse. They were still talking about serious things one second, and the next second she asked if they wanted to go eat.

Kosmo sighed, broke his chopsticks and started eating noodles.

Because he was originally a resident of Mu Continent, he was not familiar with the use of chopsticks. The cafeteria at the headquarters also served cuisine from all over the world, so he did not learn how to use chopsticks, which resulted in him using chopsticks like a fork when eating noodles.

"Don't you know how to use chopsticks?" the girl asked.

Kosmo could answer this bluntly: "No."

"Oh, I'll teach you." The girl nodded seriously. Under Kosmo's puzzled gaze, she picked up the chopsticks and showed them to Kosmo, "If you don't use chopsticks to eat Shenzhou noodles, the taste will drop a level."

"This...isn't necessary?"

"Of course, chopsticks are very easy to use. Lin taught me once and I knew how to use them."

Kosmo was confused and followed the girl to learn how to use chopsticks. He spent the whole afternoon learning it, and he didn't even get to eat a single bite of the noodles when the whole bowl of noodles had turned cold into a lump.

The girl was extremely serious about this matter, and she would not stop until she had taught Kosmo how to do it. Whenever he tried to eat noodles with the half-baked method of holding chopsticks, she would forcibly stop him.

"okay."

The girl nodded with satisfaction. With her unremitting efforts, Kosmo finally learned how to use chopsticks. At least his posture was quite decent.

Kosmo looked at the chopsticks in his hand, which were as easy to use as his arms, and felt a sense of accomplishment. He laughed along with the girl.

"Gulu..."

Kosmo's stomach made a gnawing sound.

"..."

"..."

Kosmo and the girl looked silently at the completely dark door at the same time, then looked at the empty cafeteria together, and finally fixed their eyes on the completely solidified wonton noodles.

After that, there was a strange stare-eye exchange.

The girl suddenly pointed at Kosmo and said seriously: "It's your fault. If you learned faster, you could eat it."

"what?"

……

The two of them sat bored at a small table with two buckets of instant noodles on the table.

In the end, the girl had to take Kosmo to her room to eat instant noodles. Anyway, she just wanted to have a midnight snack, so she just let the hungry Kosmo eat together.

What made Kosmo most frustrated was not that the girl invited him to eat instant noodles, but that he had to use a fork to eat the noodles...

"You usually... you don't eat like this all day long, do you?" Kosmo couldn't help but ask when he saw the "tip of the iceberg" revealed when the girl took out her food reserves.

"Yeah, but Lin Yishi always makes a lot of delicious food for me, so I don't have to buy snacks." The girl confessed, "Eating makes people relax, and the process of chewing and swallowing will give you a sense of satisfaction, so this is the healthiest and most normal entertainment."

Eating too much doesn't necessarily mean you'll be healthier... Kosmo thought silently.

However, Kosmo had to admit that he felt inexplicably relaxed when he was with this girl, as if there would be no obstacles in communicating with her, and she would sincerely express her inner thoughts.

Even though he didn't even know the girl's name.

"By the way, Kosmo, do you have a lover?"

"No."

"Oh, I don't think you would."

"..."

Chapter 66: The Man of Miracles Part 5

"But I have a childhood sweetheart." Kosmo was unconvinced and wanted to refute the girl's words.

Desdobia entered the Fire Moth with him.

"Two cats and dogs that grow up together can be called childhood sweethearts, two worker bees that are born and die together can be called childhood sweethearts, and two dung beetles that push the ball together can also be called childhood sweethearts." The girl supported her helmet with one hand, "Childhood sweethearts are not lovers."

"..."

Kosmo was speechless after being refuted and couldn't think of what to say for a moment.

Kosmo simply stopped being silent: "Why do you ask this question?"

"I just want to get to know people other than Lin."

The girl stared at the instant noodles and replied coldly.

"Then you should ask something more...meaningful."

"Meaningful? What is meaningful? Doesn't something about a person have meaning to that person?"

Kosmo was stunned for a moment. What the girl said did make sense.

The common goal of the people of Fire Moth is to save humanity. Under this lofty ideal, everything else becomes meaningless and dull.

But for an individual, he himself is everything.

"Then let me ask you a meaningful question. Do you believe in 'miracles'?"

"What?" Kosmo thought he had heard it wrong.

The girl kept repeating: "Do you believe in miracles?"

What kind of leap question is this?

Kosmo was stunned for several seconds and didn't react until the girl silently opened the lid of the instant noodles and started eating the noodles. Only then did he realize and started eating the noodles with her.

This time the girl ate the noodles much slower. It was unclear whether she felt that instant noodles were not as delicious as wonton noodles or she was already full, but it gave Kosmo some time to think.

While eating noodles, he was still thinking, what was the "miracle" the girl was talking about?

This kind of childish question is very similar to what the teacher told the children in elementary school: "You should all have hope." But for Kosmo, who has witnessed several large-scale collapses and countless sacrifices and deaths, this word is as unfamiliar as his knowledge of the female body structure.

However, the girl neither explained nor added any further information. No one knew what expression she had under her helmet. All one could hear was her slurping noodles.

This attitude of throwing the problem out and then ignoring it is very much like Lin.

"What is... a miracle?" Kosmo raised his head from the instant noodle bucket in confusion.

"Ellie said miracles are magic, turning the impossible into possible." When the girl raised her head, it meant that she had finished her noodles. "So, do you believe it? The impossible will become possible."

"..."

When this problem was put before him, Kosmo realized that he still believed that miracles would happen.

Just like the fifth collapse, he believed that those deserters would come back and they should be heroes.

Even if the top leaders of the Fire Moth ordered them to die, the reason those deserters came back was only because of Lin's support. Everything he believed in was overturned, and his once naive ideas were nothing more than a paper boat that was about to collapse in the torrent of reality.

He still believed in his own innocence, even though his reason was trying hard to deny it.

"Believe in miracles, human beings. There were people who went further than you, and they still believed in the miracles caused by human emotions."

"The miracles he created still exist in this world at this moment."

……

"Is there still one-third of the world's population left?"

The man stared at the numbers floating on the screen, then turned and left the empty room.

The base, which was once bustling with people, has become deserted. Countless people have died in various incidents. Even those engaged in scientific research may die tragically in experiments.

Over time, those faces that he was once familiar with disappeared without him noticing.

As for the rest of the people, their expressions became numb and lifeless.

Technology is still advancing, but this is accompanied by a sharp reduction in the human population.

No one knows when the ninth collapse will come, and a large number of humans are just living scattered in areas filled with Honkai energy and Honkai creatures. Even though he has established shelters all over the world, there are still people who are unwilling to enter and survive in them.

Chaos and disorder, just like when mankind was born, but at the end, it returned to its original state.

"Hey, A, are you interested in having a cup of coffee? I just designed a super interesting coffee making machine..." The man greeted a person walking in front of him, subconsciously wanting to greet him.

But the man only received an indifferent response: "Dr. Lin, please don't waste headquarters' resources to design useless things."

"...Well, I think making coffee is not necessarily useless. Don't you like drinking it?"

"..."

Without saying a word, not even a look of contempt, the man walked away with the same dull expression as the others.
