[Comprehensive] I'm really not a villain

After Mu Li went back, she didn't even care about eating.

99's words kept ringing in her ears.

Too many things seem to prove each other wrong.

Even if I know that the other party's statement is problematic, I seem to have no position to accuse the other party of its fallacy.

Because she understood that what the other party said was also true.

And thinking from this perspective, it seems that some problems are beginning to become obvious.

"Yo. Are you still thinking about what's there?" Yuki walked over and patted her on the head.

Mu Li was bumped up and down by her.The drink in his hand almost spilled.

"You deliberately asked me to bring up the topic." Mu Li was a little dissatisfied.

After getting along these days, Mu Li understood that if the other party didn't want to talk to her, he wouldn't talk to her no matter what.

So it's useless for her to ask about some things.

Looking at it this way, today's prompt seems to be particularly important.Maybe it's related to the ultimate mission in this world.

Yuki took a sip of his beer.

His eyes were completely covered by the mist surrounding the hot pot in front of him.

"Speaking of it. You don't seem surprised by what I said."

"It seems that you have experienced similar things."

"So I think I did a good job."

She leans forward.

He showed a half-smile expression.

"Is it related to your parents?"

Mu Li froze for a moment, feeling speechless for a while.

"What does this have to do with my parents?"

"Also, I don't seem to have mentioned them, have I? Why did I get around to them?"

99 Youji's face didn't change, he stared at her for a long time, before the other party exploded, he said meaningfully: "It turns out that you just didn't grow up with your biological parents~. It seems that you don't hate them?"

Mu Li showed a speechless expression again.

"Where did you come to such a conclusion?"

Could it be that she has an obvious orphan temperament?Probably not...

Although she has "parents" only in the world of Noah's Ark, the orphan temperament should not be obvious after the baptism of Academy City, right?

"You haven't mentioned that there is a problem with your parents, right?" Yuji picked up a piece of meat and decided to avoid the serious ones.

"A child as old as you will want to go back even if he leaves home for a little longer during the rebellious period~."

She admired the wonderful expression changes on Mu Li's face.

"So why did they abandon you? And you don't hate them?"

Mu Li lowered her head as if caught in some kind of memory.

Yuki raised his head again without hearing the answer.

What she saw was Mu Li's expression that was so calm that it was almost blank.

Just when she thought the other party might not answer, she heard her voice.

"I haven't actually seen them either. Just heard my 'starter' mention it once."

Yuki froze for a moment, the initiator?It was the first time she heard the word.

Before she could ask the other party, she told the story herself.

"My parents should be Icelandic, living in the Vatnajökull. That place has always been regarded as a tourist destination. Many people who like to travel on the alpine snow field will go hiking there, and they work at the aid station .”

"I guess their life is similar to most Icelanders. But it is still inconvenient to live away from the city all the time. So when my mother was three months pregnant, she was going to the city to prepare in advance. All the belongings. Then you can wait for delivery in the city with peace of mind.”

"However, after she went to the city that time, she got into a car accident. She couldn't be saved."

"I said I didn't see my parents not because they didn't want to come to see me. It was because after I was 'born'. There was a distance from them both in time and space. It was impossible for them to see me."

Mu Li picked up the drink in her hand.

You Ji, who was on the opposite side, was struggling to find out that Mu Li's story had been told.

"Wait a minute? You mean she died when she was pregnant with you for three months?? Then... how were you born?"

Mu Li didn't care about her doubts, and calmly replied: "You know that a child can actually be ||born by a surrogate, right? In fact, besides letting other women surrogate ||, there is also a way to choose an artificial uterus to give birth."

Mu Li raised her head, and the emotions in her eyes became even more obscure under the smoke.

"It's about putting fertilized eggs in some kind of petri dish and letting them grow freely."

"The person who chooses to put fertilized eggs in a frozen state into a Petri dish is the 'initiator'."

You Kee paused for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"What kind of strange way of giving birth is this? Why do you feel that human beings are about to perish after hearing your story? They still use petri dishes to give birth to children."

Mu Li didn't care about her reaction.

The people here are good, and the people in Academy City are also good.

People like them who have never experienced the end will probably never understand what it will be like when the day when the earth is really about to face destruction.

Ethics was a luxury in her day.

Such values ​​even made her think that Academy City was a paradise.

She decided to continue telling her story before the other person spoke.

"My father had no other choice but to choose the only method that would allow me to survive. So he donated me to an institution that was collecting human germ cells at that time. I hope my child can be born safely in the future.". seven

She stopped here.

It's just that this man doesn't know that the so-called hope of mankind is just the fuse that pushes the future of mankind into a deeper hell.

As well as her own daughter with genetic defects, it is impossible to be regarded as a "new human" and survive.

After You Ji laughed enough, he thought about Mu Li's words.

"So your initiator told you these words?"

"It seems that what I said to you is not completely wrong, it also comes from this initiator?"

Mu Li didn't answer her, but her expression still told Yuji that Yuji's guess was correct.

Because even if she tried to use all the lines on her face, she couldn't squeeze out a smile.

From Mu Li's point of view, all the beautiful words in the world can be used to describe that woman.

But the only person on Noah's Ark who cared about the 'old man' was killed just like that.

She swallowed the anger in her heart, and asked in as calm a tone as possible: "Teacher, do you think conjurers and ordinary people should be treated differently?"

She thought for a while and added something further.

"What I mean is, do you think it's reasonable for conjurers to protect ordinary people because they have power?"

Yuki lowered his head, shaking the beer in his hand.

"A capable person should naturally take on everything."

"We can't leave our common future in the hands of those trash who can't do anything well."

Mu Li nodded and did not refute her.

"Then if human beings know everything about the magic world and want to kill all the magicians?"

You Ji raised his head and replied softly: "Someone asked this question long before the establishment of the Conjuration Society. It is to prevent our existence from causing more pain to ordinary people, so we have been hiding from the world."

"What you want to ask is whether human beings will harm us if they know our existence. I think it is impossible. At least there is room for negotiation."

"Because ours are equal." Mu Li said what You Ji couldn't say.

"Neither of us can kill each other. Right."

Yuki didn't answer this time, just looked at her quietly.The sharpness gradually appeared in the eyes.

"She had a conflict of opinion with other decision makers. It turned out that ... she was wrong."

Yuki: "Then... what kind of thing is she going to do? Good? Or bad?"

Mu Li's eyes became a little blurred: "She wants to protect everyone."

Yuki changed his posture and showed an unfathomable smile, "How did those people prove her wrong?"

Mu Li closed her eyes, "Use force."

"Where did those people think she was wrong?"

"She was wrong... she chose to stand on the side of humans (old humans)."

Yuki smiled and patted her head.

"You weren't the only one who really supported her at that time, were you?"

"Is it because she is your initiator?"

"No..." Mu Li thought for a while, "I don't think it's right for her to blindly protect, but why do people with power have to hurt people without power?"

"I can understand everyone's psychology of Mu Qiang."

"But is it really worth it to hurt someone?"

"This is not as despicable as..."

"So you think she's right?"

Mu Li raised her head, the hatred in her scarlet eyes was like a flood breaking a bank, flowing through every corner of her body through blood vessels.

"Could it be that we (returners) are not human beings?"

This time Yuji didn't answer her, just looked at her in silence, after an unknown amount of time, he finally couldn't help laughing, and took away the wine that Mu Li held in his hand at an unknown time.

"Is this your first time drinking? So high?"
