This is my revenge!

He was about to step into it...

"Excuse me……"

In the back, Aponia, who hadn't left the basement immediately, suddenly spoke up, "Savior (Destroyer), you possess two contradictory sides... When will your revenge be over?"

The black-haired young man paused.

a long time……

"You seem to have misunderstood something, Ms. Aponya."

He turned his head sideways, a slight arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, "My revenge is over."

"With the complete demise of that old era (the current era of civilization), my obsession... also remained there."

"And now..."

The black-haired young man turned around and retreated step by step into the space gate.

As it slowly closes...

"Now, it is the new me who is forcing the entire world to cooperate with me in a villainous way, to satisfy my curiosity and thirst for knowledge."

"Ms. Aponya, you said..."

"If you encounter a situation where, while protecting someone, this action will inevitably harm others, you can't have both."

"what will you do?"

Having said this, the black-haired young man did not wait...or rather, he did not expect Aponya's answer.

With this, the space gate was completely closed.

Aponya was left alone, standing there, lost in thought for a long time.

finally……

"Ah~"

She looked helpless and sighed, "Yeah, what should I do?"

"I wish I could be a villain too."

"Maybe I won't be bothered by it."

******

Meanwhile, in the alley on the side of the dilapidated church.

"Great, great, it's really great."

"How did you make this, Boss?"

The dirty girl was squatting on the ground, holding a bag of dried salted fish in her hand.

As she chewed this food, which she had never had before but for some reason felt was "destined" for her, her cheeks puffed up and her mouth had become like a hamster's.

She fell in love with this food.

While enjoying it, she raised her right hand and gave a thumbs up to the black-haired young man who was squatting in the corner like a street urchin.

All these delicious foods were given by him.

The other party had just acted so intimidating that even Cantou (a stray cat) was so disloyal that he ran away. She had thought he was difficult to get along with...

"You really eat it?"

"Uh~"

Padu's chewing motion froze.

There is a small bag of dried salted fish in my hand, and I don’t know whether to put it in or not.

Suddenly, she seemed to have a greedy nature.

Even though she was being stared at by the black-haired young man's lifeless eyes and felt uneasy, she still quickly raised her head, stretched her neck, and swallowed all the dried fish in her mouth.

Then she just stared blankly at the black-haired young man.

Installed.

Seeing her like this...

"Haha, just teasing you."

The black-haired young man raised his hand and rubbed the cat's head, then handed it a paper bag. "I have some more here..."

"If you like it, I'll give it all to you."

"Ah...oh, ha, ha~"

Padu laughed awkwardly and said, "Thank you, boss."

Afterwards, after confirming that the black-haired young man was really just joking, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

It’s really...scared the baby to death.

This boss is somewhat malicious. If you get along with him for a long time, he will really be unkind to your little heart... Pado thought so.

But the food he gave me was delicious, and there was no trickery involved (drugging), so I didn't mind it.

"It's free anyway..."

"Hehe~"

Paddo smiled heartlessly.

Although, when I first encountered him, that unique aura, like that of a top predator, was super super super... super scary.

But she didn't sense any malice from the other party.

On the contrary, there is also a bit of inexplicable kindness.

So, she did not show any double standards and responded to this kindness as she had done before.

Then try to contact it...

The other party told him that Sister Nia was fine and that she had given her permission for what had just happened. He was a filmmaker and had paid to shoot the scene here...Okay, just listen to these reasons.

In short, the other party told him not to worry.

and also……

He gave himself something delicious!

After so many things happened, Padu gradually let go of her worries, until now...

Her cheeks slowly became puffy again.

Speaking of which...

The black-haired young man... Ling Ke, was visiting the night market in Changkong City not long ago.

Now, it has directly crossed thousands of kilometers from the distant Far East to this chaotic Middle East.

Twilight Street.

At this moment, as the original body, he naturally does not need to do those somewhat laborious and hand-to-hand tasks in order to complete the so-called "play".

He now has a clear positioning for himself.

He is the "director", the "screenwriter", and the "audience".

He is not like the black-haired young man in the basement (who controls the puppets) who does odd jobs like "set designer".

At most, it's just a bit of plagiarism, with some appropriate music or something like that, just to add the finishing touch.

Therefore, the reason why he suddenly came here alone was simply because... it was fun~

Or to be more precise, it should be: interesting!

Padofelice, the later Fire Chaser, ranked thirteenth, the girl bearing the inscription "Empty Dream"...

Earlier, in that familiar scene Ling Ke had specially arranged, where someone's position had been reversed...

She made a different choice from Mei Raiden.

When facing a stranger, she also did not "trust" the other person.

But at least, there is a "response" to the other party.

He admitted that he was curious.

I'm curious... is Padu only like this with those "certain people"? Or... if I were to change to my current self, would I also be able to get her "response"?

So, here he comes.

Once again...trying to release my kindness.

Ashamed to say it.

Now, he is obviously no longer a weakling. He was once a god and now has an extraordinary status.

But when making this attempt, I was a little trembling and cautious.

And the goodwill released...

It’s not big, just a few street food.

The final conclusion is...

“People are indeed different.”

Ling engraved it in his heart, sighing secretly with a double meaning.

He also received a "response".

At this moment, he looked at the dirty girl beside him. His good mood, which had been enhanced by his appreciation of Eden's artistic talent in Changkong City, was even better at this moment.

Sure enough, that's life.

A person can become overwhelmed by the pressure accumulated from one small "despair" after another.

You can also see light in each faint "hope".

Now, Ling Ke, who has been reborn, has come into the sunshine.

Just like Mei Raiden and Bronya back then...

but……

"Night is more suitable for me."

“It’s quiet, not easily disturbed, easy to move around in, and you don’t see a lot of things you don’t want to see.”

Thinking this in his heart, Ling Ke stood up on his knees, not because he felt regret for the past and was complaining about himself, but simply because he wanted to satisfy his own little curiosity.

He looked up at the sky, subconsciously shielding his eyes with his left hand, and squinted his eyes. "Tsk, I really can't get used to this feeling of being blinded from time to time."

The sun is too dazzling.

It no longer suits him.

He also didn't care about it and no longer needed it.

Now...

"Goodbye, little Paddo."

Ling Ke tilted his head and looked down at the dirty girl who was still squatting on the ground, "I have to go to work."

He was just about to move away...

"Oh, right."

Ling Ke raised his right hand and pointed his index finger. "Next time you encounter something like this, remember to stay away from it."

He offered a piece of advice based on his own experience: "You are just an ordinary person, and you don't owe anyone anything."

"It's not worth it to get yourself involved."

At this moment, he seemed to have seen the future of this carefree girl in front of him.

It was a broken cat's paw badge lying quietly in the wilderness on the silent moon.

It symbolizes that there once was a "mortal" who just wanted to have enough food to eat every day and had this small wish.

In a daze...
