MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 116 persuade

It's late autumn, and you can still feel the coldness of the night even if you cover the doors and windows. Only the table lamp was on in the room, and the place where the two stood was bright and dark.

Lu Tinghan explained the reason.

He said: "Shi Yuan, we all understand that you were very fragile in human form. Remember the injury you got while chopping vegetables?"

When Shi Yuan was learning how to cook before, he accidentally scratched his hand while cutting a tomato.

There was a small cut, and some blood was left. Shi Yuan stared at it for a while, then ran to Lu Tinghan with his hands up: "Look!"

He was also injured while walking in the wilderness before, for example, the stream was too slippery, and he fell and scratched - for others, it would be a fatal enough infection, but Shi Yuan is heartless, just leave it alone, and he will be fine.

Later, he met Xie Qianming, got to know bandages, alcohol and inhibitors, and learned how to treat wounds simply.

Lu Tinghan took him a band-aid, wrapped it carefully, and smoothed out every wrinkle.

"Be careful in the future," he said.

"Okay." Shi Yuan said, "I'll go back and chop tomatoes."

In the evening, he made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and put in too much salt. Thanks to Lu Tinghan, he was able to eat them without changing his face.

At this time, Lu Tinghan looked at Shi Yuan and said: "You will be affected by sleeping pills, and you will also bleed when injured. Your body functions are no different from humans. In case the frigate encounters danger during the 'deep dive', you and us just as fragile."

He paused: "Even if you can turn back into the black mist, we don't know what the consequences will be if you repel each other with Abyss 1...Moreover, accidents may happen at any time, and it is very likely that you will not be given time to react. I never hope You take such a risk."

"I know." Shi Yuan said, "Professor Guan told me." He thought for a while, "I don't know if I will die, but this is the only way I can go to the bottom of other abysses. "

"...Shi Yuan, listen to me." The pen twirled around in Lu Tinghan's hand, and he continued, "On the other hand, due to load and space constraints, the optimal number of people to land on a frigate is four. This is a rather small number, and the alliance has done a lot of investigations before deciding on candidates. We need to collect data at the bottom of the abyss for a long time, and each person is good at different fields, which are very important."

His speaking speed is slower than usual, and his tone is softer, and he will not bring pressure to the other party: "If you are allowed to land on the frigate, or we have to give up one person, or we will risk overloading. Either way will give' Deep dives' bring problems."

Shi Yuan stayed for a while, then said, "Oh..."

He understood what Lu Tinghan meant. The "Deep Dive" quota is very precious, and he can't just go if he wants to.

Lu Tinghan: "So, I can't support your decision both emotionally and rationally."

Lu Tinghan looked at Shi Yuan's expression, sighed, stepped forward and hugged him gently.

He said in Shi Yuan's ear: "I understand your thoughts. You have paid too much for the city and mankind, and you don't have to risk your life. Whether the 'deep dive' succeeds or fails, it is the ending we have to accept."

"But I'm not for human beings." Shi Yuan raised his head and looked at him, "Not this time."

Lu Tinghan said helplessly: "Shi Yuan..."

"I didn't lie to you." Shi Yuan said firmly, "I'm for other monsters."

"Why?" Lu Tinghan asked, "What do you want to do? What can you do?"

"I don't know," Shi Yuan told him, "I have never been able to contact other abysses, only this time I have the opportunity. If I can go to the bottom of the abyss, I think there will be new discoveries."

Lu Tinghan was silent for two or three seconds: "But, you're not sure if you can succeed, right? You don't even know what you're looking for."

"Yeah." Shi Yuan nodded lightly, "I don't have evidence, it's just a 'feeling'." He thought for a while, "Lu Tinghan, do you still remember the dream I told you about?"

—the dream in which he stood in the center of the stage and countless monsters watched him.

In the past few years, he has dreamed of this scene repeatedly, and he does not understand what it means.

He told Lu Tinghan: "I think I can find the answer to this dream at the bottom of the abyss."

The cold wind was blowing outside the window, knocking on the glass, and the cold air seeped in through the cracks in the window.

Lu Tinghan was silent again, and after a long time whispered: "...No, Shi Yuan, I can't let you take risks, and I can't let 'Deep Dive' take risks."

Shi Yuan failed to convince Lu Tinghan.

At night when he lies on the bed, the tip of his tail is slightly curled up—this is a sign that he is a little sad.

Seeing this, Lu Tinghan held Shi Yuan in his arms, and gently stroked his temples: "Shi Yuan..."

"I'm not angry." Shi Yuan said, "What you said is correct, and I think it makes sense. I'm just, just a little regretful."

Lu Tinghan's men had smooth black hair, and he said, "You've made a lot of new monster friends, haven't you?"

"Yeah." Shi Yuan nodded slightly.

"Look for them to play more in the future." Lu Tinghan told him, "There is one more thing, I never told you before."

"What?" Shi Yuan looked up at him.

Lu Tinghan said: "You have met a lot of good people, and most human beings should have left a good impression on you. However, not everyone is like this. People's hearts are very complicated, and even I dare not say that I can see through them. Monsters can change endlessly. Variations, erratic behavior, beyond imagining, but none of that compares to human nature—far from it. You must remember that.”

Shi Yuan stared at him blankly, his tail curled up even more because of confusion.

Lu Tinghan squeezed his face: "I can hide your identity and protect you as much as possible. When I'm gone, you will face all these yourself." He sighed silently, "I know these things It's hard, your identity is too special."

It was impossible for him to relax.

Shi Yuan is a young **** with power, who can easily overturn the world. He is kind enough, Lu Tinghan is afraid that someone will take advantage of his kindness.

Lu Tinghan continued: "I don't know if you will be able to learn this one day... But as far as I am concerned, when the 'deep dive' starts, I hope you can go back to the wasteland."

He smiled: "You are afraid of being alone, I'm glad you made friends with those monsters. Stay with them, Shi Yuan, if you miss the city occasionally, just go and have a look and stay for a few days, you don't have to stay for a long time. Or maybe one day, you'll meet other human beings that you can trust 100% in them, just like you trust and like me."

Shi Yuan listened silently.

In front of him, Lu Tinghan never took the initiative to bring up sad things, the world was bright and soft.

Now parting is imminent, no one can block the wind and rain.

Lu Tinghan taught him many things, let him see the beauty of human beings and cities, but in the end, what he told him was not to trust others. This is probably his complicated love.

Shi Yuan said, "Okay, I've remembered it all." There was emotion surging in his black eyes, "But I will continue to try to convince you."

Lu Tinghan stretched out his hand and flicked Shi Yuan's head.

Shi Yuan: "Ah!" He covered his forehead, "I was dumbfounded."

Lu Tinghan laughed softly.

The day of "deep diving" is approaching day by day, but Shi Yuan failed to convince Lu Tinghan. On weekdays, when Shi Yuan blows the pillow wind to Lu Tinghan, Lu Tinghan has no objection to him. Only this time was an exception, Lu Tinghan was determined and would not change.

At the same time, the paper flowers in the handicraft factory are piled up like a hill, and the few real snow flowers are also growing well, and they are about to bloom.

There are only three weeks left before the "deep dive", and the people in the city are getting more and more nervous. In addition, the monsters in the black crystal have woken up a lot, and the battle is intensifying. Shi Yuan saw huge transport ships parked on the edge of the city. In the future, they will take people to Dunton.

He continued to persuade Lu Tinghan to let him go to the bottom of the abyss.

After Shi Yuan failed to persuade countless times, he hugged Lu Tinghan's waist, buried his head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "You are leaving."

Lu Tinghan touched his head.

These days, he ordered Shi Yuan many things.

During the years when Shi Yuan was by his side, he had taught Shi Yuan too much, but when it came time to part, he felt that it was far from enough.

He repeatedly emphasized the use of medical supplies, in case Shiyuan was injured in human form, they would definitely be used; he taught Shiyuan time and time again how to use a map and compass, so that this Lu Chi Abyss could find its destination; Be careful not to cut your hand, or accidentally get food poisoning; he said that he must not reveal his identity, this should be the eternal trump card...

Lu Tinghan has never been a nagging character, and Shi Yuan already knew a lot about these things.

But he just kept talking, for fear of missing something.

Shi Yuan remained silent for a while, then asked again: "Lu Tinghan, can you go somewhere with me?"

Lu Tinghan is very busy.

He still asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"I want you to meet my monster friends." Shi Yuan said, "I can't convince you, maybe they can."

Lu Tinghan smiled: "Monsters can't talk." He stroked Shi Yuan's long tail, "Except for little devils."

"It's not talking, I don't know how to express it." Shi Yuan tilted his head and tried his best to choose words, "It doesn't matter if you don't change your mind, anyway, I want you to take a look."

"...Okay." Lu Tinghan agreed, "I'll go with you."

The next morning, they stepped into the forest outside the city together.

The dew hangs on the leaves, crystal clear.

The two encountered a lot of monsters, they were hiding in the forest, and they noticed Lu Tinghan's existence, and they were more restless than usual. A few monsters were eager to move, and they were jealous of Shi Yuan, but they didn't come forward. The other monsters who knew Shiyuan followed them from afar, keeping a considerable distance.

Monsters are monsters after all.

Only Shiyuan is afraid of and favored.

"Where are you going?" Lu Tinghan asked.

"To meet a big friend." Shi Yuan replied, "It wanted to take me to a place before, but I didn't have time to go with it."

Lu Tinghan didn't ask any more questions.

They walk through the woods. This section of the road was rugged and tortuous, and Shi Yuan usually struggled to walk, but it was much better after having Lu Tinghan—the steep **** that he had to climb up with great difficulty, and the cliff that he had to go down carefully, Lu Tinghan walked ahead of them all, holding his hand , took him over mountains and mountains.

The way forward.

to the depths of the mountains.

Lu Tinghan saw the ancient tree full of eyes that Shi Yuan had mentioned.

The old tree covered the sky and covered the sun, standing in the deepest part of the forest, eyes turning frantically on its branches, bleeding and tearing from time to time.

And when it saw Shi Yuan, the restlessness subsided. Countless pairs of eyes calmed down, moved slowly, and looked at the two visitors.

"Hello—" Shi Yuan greeted with a loud voice, "Hello—rotten tree!"

Lu Tinghan: "..."

Shi Yuan has always had a way of choosing names.

Gu Shu's eyes were fixed on Lu Tinghan, and his pupils suddenly shrank, which was very scary.

"No." Shi Yuan told it again, "This is my human, you cannot infect him."

The ancient tree paused for nearly half a minute, and slowly closed its eyes, leaving only the biggest eye in the middle of the trunk to look at the two of them.

"Shushasha—"

A gust of wind blew by, the trees swayed, and the eyes blinked.

This is a greeting to them.

Saying goodbye to the "rotten tree", they continued on their way.

Lu Tinghan asked: "Apart from 'rotten tree', what other monsters have names?"

"I don't have many names," Shi Yuan counted on his fingers. "For example, there are 'silly dog', 'stupid goose', 'bad bee' and 'stinky bird'. The main reason is that they ignored me at first, and there is no Politeness, that's what I call it, I can't change it after getting used to it."

Lu Tinghan: "..."

This is getting outrageous.

Lu Tinghan said: "Shi Yuan, I'm glad you didn't name me when you didn't know my name."

Thinking about it this way, "Lu Tingting" is already the pinnacle of Shi Yuan's naming. Shi Yuan and him are definitely true love.

"It's true. At that time, I didn't learn the League language very well." Shi Yuan said, "So you have always been 'the one who has no quality'."

Lu Tinghan: "..."

Lu Tinghan: "I really didn't throw trash on purpose."

Shi Yuan: "Hmph."

Going further, over the boulder on the hillside, they came to another hill.

"Hey—" Shi Yuan shouted, "Xiaobai, where are you?! Xiaobai!"

This name is much more normal, it is probably a small and exquisite monster that made Shi Yuan such an exception.

Lu Tinghan waited.

There was a strange noise in the cloud-shrouded valley, and the earth trembled. Two minutes later, I saw a huge monster coming from the deep mountain: the white snake spit out a scarlet letter, its eyes were like glass, and when it stood up, the shadow covered the entire mountain range.

Lu Tinghan looked up at it and said, "You call this thing 'Xiaobai'?"

"Yes. It's so cute." Shi Yuan was very happy, and waved at the giant snake, "I'm here! I'm here to play with you!"

"Hiss hiss—" the giant snake spit out the letter.

Like the ancient tree, it stared at Lu Tinghan for a long time, shouting from instinct, revealing a ferocious and brutal side.

It finally lowered its head and looked at the two of them calmly.

Shi Yuan and Lu Tinghan said: "Xiaobai wants to take me somewhere, let's go together."

The giant snake seemed to understand his words, its head lowered again, and it stopped in the low valley.

In this way, Shiyuan can stand up easily. He jumped on the giant snake's head first, and greeted Lu Tinghan: "Come on!"

Lu Tinghan has been fighting for many years, and has dealt with monsters a lot, but he has never had such an experience.

In other words, no one has ever seen such a scene, even he hesitated for a few seconds.

"Come on!" Shi Yuan called him again, "Trust me!"

So Lu Tinghan took a step forward and also jumped on the snake's head. The two grabbed a protruding scale, and the giant snake raised its head—

The cloud and mist suddenly passed by!

The sound of the wind was deafening, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them were dozens of meters away from the ground, and those trees, stones, flowers and plants became small.

"Shushasha—wow—"

The scales rubbed against the heavy mountains, and there were strange peaks and beautiful mountains and rivers. They rode white snakes to the distance like flying across the clouds and wind.
