Kivotos, I was deeply shocked!

"..."

Qingcheng Jing suddenly fell silent.

Yes, which question do I want the teacher to answer?

Can you understand your own behavior of constantly stealing works of art?

Or can you understand who you are as a "compassionate thief"?

Qing Chengjing raised her head and met Si Wang's eyes.

Those were a pair of eyes that he had never seen before.

There was neither fear or terror of her as one of the Seven Prisoners, nor rejection or disgust of her as the Benevolent Thief. There was only pure curiosity.

It's like the curiosity you feel when you suddenly see a student who can skip a dozen stones on the river bank.

Qingcheng Jing suddenly felt an extremely strong desire to talk.

“[Roadside stones] and [artworks in display cases]…”

The slender cat tail was tightly wrapped around her right leg. The girl pretended to be calm and asked, "Teacher, if it were you, what standard would you use to measure the value of the two?"

"Well, since I lack relevant historical and cultural literacy, and I don't know much about fine arts, music, ceramics, and other arts, if I really have to choose, I should look at who gave me the artwork."

Si Wang didn't care that the girl answered his question with a question. After thinking carefully, he nodded with certainty, "If the person who gave it to me is someone I know, I will find a place to put it even if it is in the way. If it's someone I don't know, I should immediately find a chance to give it to another person I don't know well in order to avoid taking up space."

"..."

The unexpected answer stunned the girl with just one punch, and Qingcheng Jing instantly forgot most of the words she had been brewing for a long time.

Feeling the weight of the Sakura Daifuku in her bag, and the half-melted Teacher's First Work that she had taken from Kitsunesaka Wakamo in her pocket, she suddenly agreed with what Kitsunesaka Wakamo said.

I really shouldn't have held it in my hands, but should have kept it close to my body!

“People cannot reveal their inner thoughts to others. Therefore, people’s values ​​can only be judged by others, and people’s definitions can only be described by others.”

Si Wang led Qing Chengjing to the back of the line in front of a milk tea shop and said with a smile, "Although it may not be 100% accurate, Jing should think so."

"Yes, that's right, the teacher is right."

With her ten fingers deeply embedded in her palms, Qingcheng Jing pursed her lips. For some reason, she suddenly felt her throat become very dry, as if she had swallowed a mouthful of sand.

“People are not born with names; their names are defined by others. And this is not limited to titles, but also includes the value and role.”

The girl's voice was hoarse. She tried her best to suppress her instinct to escape and forced herself to look into the teacher's eyes. "Just like there are people in the world who call me the "Merciful Thief" based on what I have done, there are also another group of people who cannot understand my boringness from the beginning and secretly accuse me of being a "Crazy Paranoid" or something like that."

"Because understanding comes at a cost, Akira-san."

Si Wang did not agree with the girl to blame those "boring people", nor did he take the opportunity to educate the girl and tell her the principles of life.

He simply turned sideways to make way for four girls who were talking and laughing while holding milk tea.

After nodding to the red-faced girl who was desperately apologizing to show that it was okay, he turned around to look at the girl beside him and patiently explained, "Everyone has only 24 hours in a day, and an hour is only 60 minutes. After deducting the time for eating, sleeping, working, going to school, and going to the bathroom, there are only about six hours left. Six hours is not enough to spend on the important people around you. How can you have the time to figure out whether you are a [kind-hearted thief], a [crazy paranoid], or [Kiyosumi Akira]? You are just following what others say."

"…What about the teacher? What does the teacher think?"

Qing Chengjing put her hands behind her back in an elegant manner, her cattails leaving deep indentations on her trouser legs. She looked at Si Wang with a smile, "Teacher, which one do you think I am?"

"Not sure, don't understand, no comment."

Si Wang first performed a set of skilled three-combo, and then stuffed a cup of milk tea that the clerk had just packed into the girl's hand, "But the nearest station is probably still a cup of milk tea away, so we can briefly introduce ourselves to each other."

"..."

After a brief silence, Qingcheng Jing suddenly laughed.

"That may not be enough time, teacher."

Cat Ear Cat Ear loosened her fingers at once, and the girl winked at Si Wang, "You may want to buy ten more cups. I can buy them too."

“…I’m going to get diabetes.”

Chapter 63: Even digging graves can be done crookedly...

Looking at Qing Chengjing holding a cup of milk tea and disappearing into the crowd almost skipping and jumping, Si Wang felt a slight sense of fatigue in his heart.

Was I this difficult when I was in high school?

He couldn't help but recall his experience as a student before he traveled through time.

There are exercise books piled higher than a person on the table, textbooks packed in boxes under the table, drawers stuffed full of test papers, and a perfect schedule of six days on and half a day off.

Ok.

Si Wang couldn't help but nodded.

It seems that there are indeed not enough homework assignments, and he is still thinking about these strange things.

I will copy out all the miscellaneous test papers in my mind later, such as the Huanggang secret test papers, the five-school joint examination, and the ten-school joint examination, to see if you still have time to think about life and its meaning.

With the dark thought, "How can you lovely flowers not suffer the same pain as I have suffered?", Si Wang answered the soul communication that had been ringing in his heart like an alarm clock from the beginning.

【Something happened? 】

【Have. 】

【…】

【…】

After a brief question and answer session with the other party, a long silence fell between the man and the insect.

In the end, Si Wang couldn't help it and took the lead in throwing another message at the other party.

[If you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you suddenly being so serious with me? ]

【No deep play.】

The calm voice of No. 2 [Aphid], almost as calm as dead water, sounded from the bottom of his heart.

[Because you asked me if I was okay.]

[Yes, I asked if you were okay.]

Most of the time, it is difficult for people to recognize their true appearance, just like Si Wang at this moment can't figure out what the person sitting opposite him is thinking about.

He sent an expression of "confused" to the other party.

[So? Is there any ambiguity in the way I asked this question?]

【There is no ambiguity.】

No. 2 [Aphid] spoke calmly and sparingly with words, as if a harsh tone or one more word could cost it its life.

So my answer is - yes.

【…】

After a brief silence, Si Wang couldn't help but send an emoticon with three question marks to the other party.

[You guys, are you trying to make fun of me? ]

【No. 】

【…】

Si Wang was instantly confused by the calm but affirmative tone of voice of No. 2 [Aphid].

He couldn't help but start reflecting on himself.

Could it be that in the eyes of others, I am also... so hated and disliked, and I don't speak human language?

【All right. 】

After a brief struggle, Si Wang quickly reached a reconciliation with himself and got down to business.

[What exactly is the “something” in your “something”? ]

【The information given by Caesar was wrong.】

[Aphid] crawled out from an operating panel that was completely black and looked like it was cast from molten iron, and scratched its front jaws that had already gnawed away at the firewall.

[The big ship that Bina led us to find was not the legacy of the nameless god.]

【ha? 】

The black pearls made of tapioca flour were suspended halfway in the straw, and Si Wang opened his eyes wide in surprise.

[In that situation, Caesar actually still wanted to trick us. You can't judge a person by his appearance.]

Si Wang was a little surprised, but just a little surprised.

As for emotions such as frustration, irritation, and anger, there are none at all.

After all, unless it's the hatred of annihilating an entire family or a blood feud, it's quite difficult for ordinary people to get angry at a corpse...

He knocked his head and ordered the scarab lying on the ceiling above Caesar's head to gnaw on Caesar's brain.

But speaking of the brain.

Thanks to the eleven consciousnesses that had split off from him - only three of which have awakened so far - Si Wang's thoughts unconsciously began to drift away again.

I wonder if these robots, which are more like humans than machines, have chips in their heads or brains made of metal?

Who was that person who was bitten off last time?

Never mind, I'm going to know soon anyway.

Si Wang blinked and turned his gaze to Caesar with curiosity.

[No, Caesar is telling the truth.]

Number 2 [Aphid] didn't care about his curiosity at all and explained in a calm tone.

【But the truth that Caesar said does not represent objective facts. 】

【you mean……】

Si Wang stopped the Scarab that was about to fall on Caesar's head, his tone somewhat uncertain.

[Over at Caesars Group, they themselves don’t understand what the stuff they have been digging for decades is? ]

【Yes. 】

After sharpening its front jaws again, Aphid No. 2 put down its forelimbs and looked up at the dimly glowing virtual display in front of it.

Although it has mobilized all the resources that Si Wang currently has to create clones, and has been working day and night to attack the firewall of this dark ship.

But just like primitive people trying to sink an aircraft carrier with wooden sticks, the current progress cannot be said to be zero, but it is limited to scratching the paint on the surface of the ship.

—Not even scraped off.

But it's not all without gain.

[Aphid] inserted its forelimbs into a square slot similar to a data interface, and a line of text suddenly popped up on the virtual screen floating in the air.

【warn! 】

[When a foreign virus is detected, the automatic virus detection function will be activated immediately! ]

puff-

Just like a grape that fell to the ground and was accidentally stepped on, the body of the aphid suddenly exploded, turning into a blurry blood shadow that splashed all around, covering a pool of old blood that had begun to turn black.

[The virus has been cleared, Utana Pizmo has activated the self-check function. ]

[Check completed, current risk: 0]

A few seconds later, an identical blood-red insect crawled up from under the operating table and stepped on its own corpse, which had turned into liquid.

Just like a person who doesn't know what a computer, a monitor, or a power source is can turn on the computer by pressing buttons randomly, No. 2 [Aphid] also pressed the power button of this ship by exhaustive method.

As long as the computer can be turned on, the name of the operating system will naturally be displayed on the screen.

【Utana Pizmo】

[Aphid] spoke in a calm tone, as if the corpse under his feet was not his own.

[It was not created by the Nameless God, but by the Nameless God's hostile forces - the Forgotten Gods - and was a war weapon called the Utanapizm Ship.]

Aphid No. 2 paused and added, "Or something like a quantum calculator."

【Weapons of war...】

Si Wang ignored the fact that Caesars Group was unreliable in digging graves and could even reach the opponent's house. He quickly grasped the key point.

[Then there must be another war weapon that needs it to deal with? Who is it? ]
