Plot summary:

The rescued Faust and the captured Mephisto remain in Rhodes Island, and their relationship is on thin ice.

Faust thinks that Ino will no longer trust him.

Mephisto felt that Sasha hated him.

Under Rhodes Island's intentional or unintentional care, the two bad boys were finally able to sit together and talk.

Longmen and Ursus finally went to war because of Tallulah's ignition. Faust joined the war in order to settle the past grievances and win space for Mephisto to survive, and wrote dozens of letters to the future Ino.The night before the battle, the two untied their knots, hugged each other and cried a lot.

Mephisto smirked, no matter how you look at these two pits, you like them, and your heart itch.

Eno thought, just stay here with Sasha.

Sasha thought, he is still my Ino, in order to protect him and his habitat, it doesn't matter how many times I have to die.

Even if they once intersected, the goals gradually drifted away.

twenty, holding hands

Just after weeping and arguing, both Sasha and Eno were sleepy.They each took a bite of each other, and they don't know why, maybe because they were too tired from walking, Mephisto didn't stand up when he got up, and lay on Sasha's bed.

"Backache? Or leg?"

"Knee...I'll go find the back office robot to carry me back..."

"It's okay, my room is big, and two people can sleep on the bed." Sasha hesitated and began to help Yinuo undress.The white and beautiful kitten's clothes are always tight-fitting, and sometimes she is too tired to be lazy, so she asks Sasha to come.

The current Mephisto is not willing to let Faust help him off, struggling lightly, "Don't move around."

"Sasha...what are you doing, it's so strange."

"I... haven't slept with you for a long time." The snake boy blinked, quietly looking at the little white sparrow whose eyes were still red after crying.

Eno felt embarrassed. He had undergone re-education. In addition to ethics and advanced military theory, there was also a moral health class.He learned from the teaching staff that sleeping together seems not good, and it's not good to be undressed by others, but this is Sasha, so it should be fine?

Didi alarm came from the monitor above the head, and Sasha, who had been subjected to surprise inspections as a high-risk prisoner of war, yelled for instructions. The flushed Mephisto, the three of them stared at each other silently.

"Prisoner Mephisto, are you being coerced? Do you need help?" Castle-3 has quickly connected to the artificial guards, ready to call for reinforcements immediately after the frail child calls for help.

Realizing that the other party had misunderstood something, Mephisto blushed even more. He faltered and said that it was voluntary, and asked if he could spend the night in the room of another prisoner of war.

The scene was deathly silent again, Faust was full of confusion, Mephisto regretted what he just said, and an embarrassing human voice came out from the speakers of Castle-3:

"Then...you...be careful."

Wanting to explain that there was no fight between them, Faust hurriedly added, "We used to sleep together—" Mephisto covered his mouth before he finished speaking.Although I don't know why, but Mephisto won't let me talk about it. When the room returned to the world of two people, Mephisto turned over sullenly and nestled in Sasha's arms.

"Sasha didn't take a health class, did he? Why doesn't he understand anything?" Although he didn't know much about it.

"I passed the first round of the ethics test, so I don't arrange tutoring and go directly to the battlefield." The two children faced each other and held each other's hand by the way.Sasha asked, "Do you want to pillow my arm? There is only one pillow here." "No, you shoot every day, and your arm should rest well. I will pillow and you will pillow me." The little black snake nodded and went down It moved a little and buried it in the white cat's chest.

"Can I come to sleep with you often in the future?" Ino gently stroked Sasha's pointed ears with his fingers. His longing for the snake made him ache all over his body, and his illnesses would be healed if he brushed the floor with Sasha. .

Without answering the little white cat's question, Sasha just held his hand tightly.

21. Breakfast

When Mephisto led Faust to the restaurant at the same time, the whole world fell silent.Hongdou made a half-horse step to stop the doctor behind him, the male Shiva Ash stopped to eat, and the cat pupil locked the two children.

The two cadres of the integration movement naturally knew that they were not welcome, so they hurriedly let go of their hands and went to the two sides of the restaurant to receive breakfast.Mephistopheles looked at Faust from a distance and shook his head, Faust knew it was not suitable to sit and eat together today.The two deliberately chose the diagonal line of the huge restaurant.

Amiya sat across from Mephisto in full view, her dazzling smile made the aggrieved little white bird dare not look up.

"Are you not afraid to meet Faust? That's great." Mephisto was not used to being treated like this, as if Amiya was some kind of superior person.Although he is still a child, he is more used to the tone of the workplace where Tallulah is under [-] people.The girl put her soft hand on the back of Mephisto's, "Everyone trusts you, it will take time, don't be discouraged."

Mephisto stared at the back of Amiya's hand and asked, "Why are you wearing five rings?" "Ah, you said that." Amiya slapped her hands to make Mephisto put her ear close. "It's the magic that makes the rabbit gentle." The white-haired boy put on a disgusted expression, and went to chat about ethics class and other things.

Faust looked at the two over there from a distance.

Amiya is 14 years old, Mephisto is also 14 years old, and he is a little older than them, fifteen.Three children of the same age, one is the leader of Rhodes Island, one is a dangerous prisoner of war, and the other is a murderous devil.Such three children were blown to one side by fate in the chaotic world, unable to see the future.Feng Shui took turns, yesterday Amiya was forced to a dead end, today she and Ino became prisoners.

What is he talking about with Amiya?

Ah, Mephisto laughed.Although it was a bluffing sneer, he was finally able to speak normally with people other than himself.He used to quarrel with his subordinates every day during the integration movement, shouting with a hoarse voice, and when he was tired, he would burrow into his coat and call Sasha in a sweet voice.

Can Ino make friends?

Without himself, can Ino really survive in Rhodes Island?

The ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Faust's gaze, and he looked down to see that it was a confidential communication.

"How's the preparation going? - War Preparation Team W3.Headman"

"Everything is going well and on call. - Faust"

Faust delivered the plate, and said goodbye to Mephisto, after all, he came over as soon as he moved the little white hair's attention.

Going around, with a little magic of invisibility, Faust watched the beautiful little white bird chirping through the glass outside the window, his eyebrows dancing brightly like fireworks.His eyes, his mouth, and his fingers are all clean, like a pot of molten precious metal, as long as he is given another chance, there are better choices.

How will he be recast by Rhodes Island?

Will he become a scholar of Rhine Life?Strategist in Rhode Island?Incognito doctor?

His fingernails tapped on the glass in a daze.

With just a slight touch, Mephisto looked out the window.

He should not be able to see himself.thought Faust.

There is only ten seconds of magic, just a look at each other, enough for Faust to put on his coat firmly and walk into the arsenal.

For Mephisto to have a better future.

22. Nightmare

The little white child curled up on the bed, and Sasha gave him the heavy crossbow. The white child wrapped the broken string around his wrist and tied it in a knot, rubbing it every day to fall asleep.Sasha didn't answer about whether he could come again at night, so Ino didn't dare.

They were chatting through the door before, and Sasha occasionally fell off a few scales, and the little white bird picked them out and hid them in the carpet.When he got the fifth piece, he punched them and put them on his bracelet.

Faust's broken string.

Sasha's scales.

Although strange, this is Ino's treasure, a spell to sleep peacefully.

Mephisto had a nightmare.Or just reliving the day Faust left was enough to wake him up crying with sweat on his back.He was something he didn't want to recall and avoid facing, but Sasha's attitude towards him showed enough that escape was not allowed.

Mephistopheles was trembling with sweat and chills. He fumbled for the switch in the dark room. His fingers trembled and he couldn't press the light button. He felt that the room was out of breath, and he couldn't distinguish dreams from reality. Whether De is really dead or a dream, he stumbled and opened the door and staggered towards Faust's room in his impression.

At night, the base stopped heating the corridors, and the cold air crawled into the limbs along the shoes. Just touching the metal walls felt pain in his fingers. He knocked on the door, but there was no response.

"Sasha...? Open the door, it's Yinuo."

"Sasha... I, it's me, meet me."

The poor child scratched the door panel with his nails. The scene in the dream was too tragic. Is Faust really dead?Was he shot through by thousands of arrows or crushed into origin stone powder?Can't remember, is he alive or dead?

The begging didn't work, Yinuo panicked, Sasha was a light sleeper, so it wouldn't be like this.He slammed on the door, bang bang, and shouted, "Please, are you still there? Make a little noise, I won't bother you, tell me you're still alive, Sasha!! Sasha!!!"

The sound of the door being smashed triggered an alarm, and the two guard robots flashed warning arc sparks to ask Mephisto to stop the intrusion.Xiao Baimao was afraid of this thing, and would call him whenever he misunderstood. The powerless prisoner of war explained tremblingly, I just came to confirm Sasha’s situation, I had a nightmare, and I wanted to see Sasha, the robot insisted on its own judgment, flashing the alarm light Ask Mephisto to be censored.

"I, I'm not, I don't!! Listen to me!!"

"Manual takeover offline—you don't have permission to order Castle-3, subject to review, subject to review."

"Sasha, save me... open the door, save me... woooo..."

"Human takeover offline—under review, under trial—"

"Hey, Guard, it's me." A man came from the end of the corridor, waving the blue Rhodes Island identification ring on his wrist, "Stop storing, I'll just take Mephisto away."

The high authority speech immediately silenced the guard robot, and the red alarm light stopped flashing, making way for the comers and Mephisto to meet.

Heavy and cumbersome clothes, unscrupulous demeanor, after confirming the identity of the visitor, Mephisto quickly wiped his face with his sleeve: "Where's Faust?" The doctor walked to the door and unlocked the prisoner Faust's room with his fingerprints—

No one is empty.

"I guess he's afraid to tell you. What a sweetheart."

"He went to Longmen, and sister Tallulah... right?"

"Ah."

Of course Mephisto wanted to go, even if he was just a medical soldier, he wanted to protect Faust from his pain.Sasha was also a child, just like himself, with thin arms and legs and short stature. It was because of avoiding choices that he drove Sasha to a dead end for the second time.The warning that you were not allowed to come to Longmen that day is still vivid in my memory.

"You can't sleep either, can you chat with me?"

23. Chat

"Can I chat with you about Froststar?"

"It's up to you..." Mephisto changed his name to "Please go ahead" in the middle of his words.The doctor looked at the shivering little boy with bare legs, threw him the heavy coat, and got into the quilt by himself: "Kelsey doesn't seem to care about anyone except Amiya, I don't know if she cares about me. Ah Mia always thinks a lot, and I don’t know anyone else in Rhodes Island well, so I don’t even have a memory.”

"I said Mephisto, you are in Rhodes Island, are you afraid?"

Mephisto nodded, indicating that he was listening.

"I was scared too. At that time, I was crushed downstairs with Shuang Xing. Anyway, I couldn't beat her, so I started talking nonsense. Have you seen a movie about a big earthquake, where the siblings were crushed on a concrete slab Down below, saving one would kill the other. At that time, I thought that if Frost Star and I could only survive one of them, my rabbit might end up fighting with the opposite party. Amiya’s life would be ruined in a fight. At that time, I thought, her If the ring is broken to the third one, I will bite my tongue and kill myself, I can't turn her into a monster."

"Mephisto, tell me, am I worth so many people dying for me?"

The child whose name was called lowered his head, frowned, and thought for a long time to give a meaningless answer. "You haven't given me the section on the meaning of life in the ethics class."

"Where did it go?"

"The concept of good and evil."

"Any gains?"

"It is not meaningful."

"Mephisto, tell me what kind of person Frost Star is."

"Threatening to throw me into the snow to freeze to death, I don't know what to mutter with the patriots all day long, and I seem to be at odds with Sister Tallulah."

"That is to say, a bad guy?"

"A good guy for you?"

"Look, Mephisto, you have your own conception of good and evil."

"But I'm not what you think."

The Doctor rubbed Mephisto's head, and was slapped away by him. "You just need to have a view of good and evil. You decide what is good and what is evil."

"I don't want to make a decision."

"Then who made the decision for you?"

The little boy pulled his coat tight and hugged his knees, "Sasha. You call him Faust."

"Then, what kind of person is your Sasha, everyone's Faust?"

"Everyone loves him and everyone hates me."

"You want to be the kind of Sasha that everyone loves?"

"I used to think, now as long as Sasha likes me, that's enough."

"Where is Tallulah? Do you like it? Is she a good person or a bad person?"

"..." Mephisto scratched his forehead in pain. "I used to think she was very good, but now I don't know what to do. Doctor, it is the most correct choice for her to let us die. If I were her, I would do the same. What should I do..."

"up to you."

"You decide first, it's my turn to speak."

"Um……"

"I didn't want to arrest you, but the medical soldiers found that Faust was still breathing. Similarly, if you slipped away, we don't really want to save Faust. It is only meaningful for Rhodes Island if you keep each other in check. So , live well, brat." He rubbed the hand on top of his head again, but this time he was not slapped away.

"Shuang Xing even promised to come to my island to be a warlock, but as you know, she just... smiled like that... and then..." The hooded man pinched the bridge of his nose, rubbed his face, and took a deep breath.He took out the remaining source stone from his pocket, it was of high purity, bright and cool yellow and even had a bit of blue light. "From the front of the furnace, the structure is stable and there is no possibility of shattering, so I brought it back, and this, wafer powder." It was extremely dry and cold tonight, and the fragments that had been maintained by magic cracked without warning and floated in the air.

"Ah, I know, Beau—the Patriots. She's got it."

"She told me to save Tallulah. That's why Rhodes Island joined the war."

Mephisto hummed quietly.Strangely, listening to the doctor talk about being hostile to the Reunification Movement, he was neither frightened nor angry.

"Why are your ankles so swollen?"

"You came a little late and got electrocuted by the idiot security robot in Rhodes Island." Okay, that's my fault.The doctor fetched ice cubes and all-purpose spray, and the two nonchalant people started to deal with Mephisto to pass the time.

"Old injury?"

"Old injuries."

"Can't even the first medical warlock of the dignified integration movement cure it?"

"This injury is earlier than my illness, and it is not curable. Besides, I mainly rely on commanding the superior."

The kicked-off shoes fell on the ground, the socks were taken off, the slender soles of the feet were white and shiny, but there was a terrifying stitching line on them, and there were still some signs of frostbite on the soles of the feet.The doctor didn't want to ask any more questions. He had just sprayed a large dose of tranquilizer, and the swelling disappeared quickly, but Mephisto shivered from the cold because of the rapidly evaporating spray.

"There should be no bathroom in the room of the prisoner of war. You go back and soak your feet to keep warm."

"Soak your feet?"

"Don't you Ursas soak? It's more than 40 degrees, add a material bag, and it will be warm after soaking."

"The integration movement is not as respectable as you think. Even a cadre can just wash it with two ladles of cold water. I am also responsible for warming Sasha's bed. He is a cold-blooded species. If you don't cover him, he is like an ice cube." That little snake, Mephisto sat up straight excitedly, then shivered from the cold.

The doctor brought a basin of hot water, adjusted the temperature, and said that when I was first dug out of the coffin, my whole body was cold and my legs hurt. Lancet-4β, not yet on the market, is an experimental product given by Rhine Life, which can be used for foot therapy.Wow, it was so cool to press every day, but it was a pity that it exploded later.

"Blown up?!" Mephisto felt more and more confused about the black ship now.Especially when the man in front of him rolled up his sleeves, revealing his limp arms with no tendons, with a proud look of "look at me".

Then the man, ignoring his struggles, held Mephistopheles' icy feet directly into the water by holding his ankles.

*The indescribable little white hair screamed.

No matter how Mephisto yelled hot, the doctor insisted on holding him for ten seconds with a silly smile, and then biting his lower lip, the commander of the integration movement began to relax and guard like a cat with fried hair, and let out a long breath. The first expression he showed in front of the doctor besides breaking down and retching.

"Are you comfortable?"

Mephisto nodded reluctantly.

"It needs to be scalded. The child's skin is tender, and the water will not be scalded. I will show you the skills I learned from the rehabilitation department—" Realizing that something is wrong, Mephisto has nowhere to escape , the vigorous adult man squeezed his fingers on the soles of Mephisto’s feet and forced him to shout happily, “Itch, no——hahaha, let go, cough, choke…” From the sole of the foot to the calf , the arrogant and self-closing commander has no grace now, begging for mercy, laughing and beating the doctor's arm, kicking over the footbath, and flooding the Dragon King Temple.

Mephisto didn't dare to laugh anymore, and stared at the doctor.Then he hugged his head and laughed, Mephisto rolled around with his arms around his left foot that hit the footbath, his jaw was about to dislocate.

In the end, two people, one big and one small, sat obediently side by side on the bed, raised their feet, and watched the robot vacuum silently suck up the water on the ground.

The sky turned pale.The doctor lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling broke the silence.

"Mephisto, I asked you just now, what do you want to do, did you get an answer?"

The commander of the integration movement, the white-haired little boy nodded.

"Here, there is an authorization chip in my coat, which allows me to go to any Rhode Island battleship." The little white boy gripped the coat that was wider than Sasha's before, stood up, and took two steps back.The man looked at his watch, "It's half an hour before the departure of the second batch of Longmen aid teams, let's go, Mephisto."

Leather shoes knock on the ground, socks are pulled down to the knees, collars, buttons, and armbands are tidied up.The morning sun shines on the milky white hair, and the eyes are green with a faint light.Sure enough, Mephisto should be clean and scary like this, his honey-soaked throat was dangerously sticky, and he returned sweetly, "Thank you, Doctor."

"Go, Rhodes Island is waiting for you to come back."
