Chapter 56 Old Antique, You Are Worthy of It

"Okay, as I said above, this matter cannot be spread for the time being, so you two need to sign a confidentiality agreement. Of course, as compensation, we will give you a generous reward. Yes. , you can interpret it as hush money, whatever you want, as long as you don’t let us find out that you are spreading information about this matter.”

The small, airtight room was filled with clouds and fog. Erwin held a cigarette in his mouth and pushed the two confidentiality agreements in front of the two girls who were coughing continuously.

"Da da da..."

"Who!"

It was so hard to fool... No, Erwin seemed a little unhappy when he was interrupted at the last step of his work, but he was the only staff member here, so he could only curse inwardly, got up and opened the door of the small dark room.

"Uh! Captain Mikael! Why are you here!"

Today's Fire Chasing Moth has undergone simple and crude expansion, and the number of combatants has increased tenfold. For example, the fifth team now has nearly 200 people, specifically responsible for the surrounding areas of Canghai City and even the entire southern China. Collapse event handling.

So as the captain of the fifth team, Mikael's status will naturally rise.

The smell of smoke hit his face, causing Mikael to squint his eyes. When he saw Erwin, he was a little surprised: "Team Leader Erwin, why are you here?"

"What the hell is a team leader?" Erwin rubbed his nose, and he could finally curse happily in front of the old man who was chasing the fire moth.

"Those people from the coalition government are getting more and more arrogant. I don't want to serve them. Didn't they take the initiative to apply to be transferred to the support company? It's so good here. They provide psychological counseling to ordinary people every day. Don't live a comfortable life. "

The corner of Mikael's mouth twitched slightly. Based on his understanding of Erwin, he thought that the matter would not be that simple. It was probably because his big mouth provoked some airborne leader, and then he was suddenly dragged to the support company.

But... even an old man like Erwin can't protect him... To what extent has Famas' power been diluted? And with Mebius staying at the headquarters, how much trouble will she face? And Uncle Hen... I heard that he made Aunt Blanca's belly bigger?

Wait a moment!

"Psychological counseling?" Mikael looked at Erwin with a strange look, "Shouldn't it be done by a professional psychologist?"

"It's not that simple. It's impossible to recruit psychiatrists on a large scale. Therefore, the number of these guys is extremely limited. They often provide psychological counseling to soldiers. How can they care about ordinary people?"

Mikael nodded, this is normal.

"Let me go in and talk to them. Anyway, I rescued them."

Erwin nodded, naturally it was all right.

Mikael walked into the small dark room. The two girls were sitting side by side on the sofa. The white-haired girl with a healthier complexion was holding Hua's arm and leaning on her closely.

They looked very uncomfortable with the smell of smoke, and so did Mikael.

While scolding Erwin in his heart, he waved his hand seemingly calmly, and the smoke in the room was pulled out of the door, and even the door closed on its own.

After seeing the battle between Death Warrior and Ellie, Mikael believed that the two girls in front of him would not make a fuss over such an ordinary thing again.

But he was wrong. The white-haired girl opened her eyes wide and shouted in surprise: "Wow! Brother! How did you do that move just now! It's so amazing! Can you teach me!"

Mikael silently covered his forehead and sat in Erwin's previous seat.

When Hua saw the man opposite them who had saved them...the man looked towards her, she couldn't help but think of the teacher's eyes in class, and she straightened her posture unconsciously.

But then she felt something was wrong, "Why are his eye circles so red..."

While thinking about it, Mikael had already spoken first.

He said: "Have you read the contract that Erwin gave you just now? To be honest, there is no need to care about the terms of the contract. As long as you sign your name, you will get a sum of money - of course, for students like you , it’s a huge sum of money. More importantly, whether you sign or not, we will not let you spread such remarks, so there is no need to struggle with it.”

Hearing this, Hua signed his name very obediently.

The white-haired girl asked in surprise while signing her name: "So what is that thing? It looks like a zombie, but it is much more flexible than the legendary zombies!"

Hua sighed and spoke before Mikael: "Carol, since they don't let us spread this information, do you think they can spread it themselves?"

"Ah...ah! Oh! So that's it! Hua, you are so smart!"

Mikael couldn't help lowering his head and pursed his lips and chuckled twice.

When he raised his head again, he saw Hua pouting, as if he wanted to say something.

He did not urge or interrupt roughly, but tacitly let the surrounding space return to calm.

It was so calm that the whole world could only capture the breathing sounds of three people.

After a while, Hua finally made up his mind and asked the question in his mind: "So, why don't you tell everyone the truth?"

Carol's mouth formed an "O" shape, her eyes were rounded, and she looked at Hua in disbelief, as if to say: "Hua, you are so brave!"

But then Hua called her name:

"For example, Carol, who heard some rumors and was unsure of the truth, and who was bold enough to take such a thing as an 'exploration', have you ever considered the consequences?"

Hua was a little timid at first, but became more and more coherent as she spoke, and her tone became bolder inadvertently.

Carol scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed, and then a little worried.

After all, not every man can remain indifferent to the accusations of such a young girl.

But Mikael just bit his lip and looked at Hua with an inexplicable look.

Hua turned his head unnaturally, and their eyes met and separated in the air.

For some reason, Hua saw a familiar confusion, powerlessness and helplessness in the other's ambiguous expression.

She even had some kind of illusion for a moment, as if there was a mirror in the air, and what she saw was not this man, but herself.

She twisted the small braid hanging from her left temple to ease her embarrassment.

The man in front of him... No, Hua looked at his face and felt that he was only a little older than himself, still a boy.

Hua suddenly had a feeling: he and he had never met before, but today, when they met for the first time, there was a sense of reunion.

In fact, Mikael had a similar feeling. Ellie always looked at the past, present and future optimistically, while he was completely pessimistic. After being with her for a long time, he felt that he might not be worthy of her.

In contrast, the loneliness and confusion on Hua's face made him see his own shadow to some extent, and he felt better.

But is it really just like that? Mikael felt that his behavior was more like escaping, escaping from Ellie's enthusiasm.

Forget it...

"You should know that this is not something I can decide. After all, I am just a warrior."

In fact, even Mikael himself didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for the general public that the Fire Moth chose to conceal the truth of the collapse.

The bad side, in addition to what Hua said, is more important. As a person, Mikael feels that they should have the right to know and should know what they are about to face.

But is "knowing" really a good thing?

"If you want to know the truth, you have to bear the consequences of knowing the truth." Mikael suddenly sneered.

"The truth may be far more cruel than you think... So, for most people, a truth that is too cruel to accept is probably better not to know."

Mikael clearly saw Hua's pupils shrink slightly.

He casually spread his hands, "Okay, I have asked Erwin to contact your school, and you still have time to rush back now. He also said that he would give you psychological counseling... You two girls are not scared at all!"

Hua tilted his head and thought for a while, "I was indeed scared."

Well, old antique, you are worthy of it.
