[Thank you very much for your help,] a grateful subtitle from the only survivor lady popped up, [There is a base of 500 people not far ahead. Maybe you two can go there to resupply? 】

【As for me...】

The subtitles did not continue, the screen dimmed and turned into blurry black, a gunshot rang out, and the clearance prompt popped up again.

Hinata held the game controller properly and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Miyano Shiho maintained a normal expression and took a sip of the cold soup. She tilted her head and asked, "Did you commit suicide?"

"The last gunshot was probably her suicide."

She went to observe Hinata's reasonable expression, "Do you want to fight again?"

The first time, because he did not expect that there would be survivors, he only saved one child survivor in the end. It was normal for Hinata to want to fight again, but the second time, it was obvious that two people had been saved. Hinata

It is reasonable but the spanking should be repeated again, for the purpose of 'getting rid of the child', because 'in this situation, the child will be a drag'.

This is a little strange.

Even being an 'organization member' and 'not understanding the emotions of human society' can hardly explain Hinata's logical thinking when making this decision. He was not doing bad things on purpose, or fulfilling his role as a 'dangerous element'

, and I’m not trying to be mean, but I really feel like ‘children are a drag, so I’ll hit a child who doesn’t survive the save’.

He was thinking about the survivor lady from the bottom of his heart.

"Let's fight again," Hinata concluded by choosing to re-pass the level. "Bullets hitting the survivors will not cause damage. Once the level is cleared, you will enter the plot mode and you will not be able to shoot at the survivors."

Therefore, if you want to get rid of the survivors, you can only let humanoid objects come.

However, if the humanoid object is allowed to kill the child survivor, the survivor lady will commit suicide at the end of the story. The middle is full of plot, and the game does not support 'disarming'.

Hyuga thought for a while and couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked Miyano Akemi, "Why did she commit suicide?"

"Lily doesn't understand this question?" Miyano Akemi was not very surprised. She pondered for a while and then said, "Is it because the child died?"

"The two of them appeared alone in this area, and probably only each other was left. Even the child died, and the lady was left alone."

"To bear all the pain of 'loss' alone is like walking alone in eternal darkness without a glimmer of hope. Perhaps it was because of this that she chose to commit suicide."

Hinata didn't quite understand. He tried to sum it up: "Because I was the only one left and felt that living was too painful and hopeless, so I committed suicide?"

This incomprehension spread to his expression, turning into a somewhat confused and calm expression.

"Yes," Miyano Akemi said, "When walking in the darkness, the important people are the lighthouses. If there is not even a glimmer of light, human beings will die of despair."

It seems to make sense.

but.

Hinata reasonably discovered something strange, "When the mother died, the child survivor did not choose to commit suicide."

"Wouldn't he feel hopeless and commit suicide because he was alone?"

He asked, "Then why did this female survivor commit suicide?"

Miyano Akemi: "..."

This is a good question.

It is exactly the same as 'the only remaining relatives were infected and died by the evolved people'. Why did the female survivors commit suicide in despair, but the child survivors did not commit suicide?

"Because she is a 'protector'," Miyano Shiho said.

"She was the protector of her children, but she watched the person she wanted to protect die," she said. "But for a protector, 'protecting someone' is very important, even more important than your own life.

.”

Hinata moved her eyes reasonably.

Miyano Shiho predicted in advance, "This is not a burden."

"Human beings are incredible creatures. Because they want to protect someone, people who are afraid of death will be willing to die, despicable people will become noble, timid people will have courage, and those who are about to die will also be incredibly strong and live on.

.”

Her tone was calm, "This is an incredible thing. I don't quite understand it either."

Miyano Shiho didn't quite understand why Miyano Atsushi and Miyano Elena chose to join forces with the police when they were so deep into the organization.

They must know the organization very well. At least when they learn about the existence of "Hyuga Reason", they will be deeply aware of the organization's technology and the shadows of the big shots in the organization, but they still choose to cooperate with the police.

This is almost a direct courtship of death.

The speed of seeking death is similar to that of turning around, jumping out of a window, and jumping off a building. Both are very simple and effective, and you will definitely have a narrow escape from death.

And the police who cooperated with them...

To be honest, what is the difference between an organization and the police?

But one shines brightly in the open, the other silently in the shadows, one smiles kindly and talks about being for the people, and the other simply doesn't hide it.

The people they serve are almost the same group of people, and they plunder the interests of the same group of big shots at the top of the pyramid.

From a certain perspective, organizational members and police personnel can even be said to be ‘colleagues’.

Miyano Shiho can be sure that her parents must understand things better than she does even if she understands them... Then why would she choose to cooperate with the police?

"Don't you understand either?" Hinata thought for a while and immediately became confident.

Even normal people who grew up in peaceful times don't understand it, so isn't it natural that he doesn't understand it?

Very normal. Very normal.

Since it's normal, you can just throw this boring philosophy-like thing into the trash can without having to think about it any more.

Even if you think about it, you probably won't be able to come to a conclusion.

Miyano Akemi: "..."

She looked at Hinata, who had calmed down again, and then at Miyano Shiho, who had a somewhat pensive expression, and sighed helplessly.

"Probably," she put down the controller, "it's because 'we are human beings'."

"Human beings are creatures that need society. To survive, we not only need material life, but also spiritual life. We need relatives and friends."

She added, "It even takes strangers."

"As long as strangers exist, they can bring us a sense of community security."

As she spoke, Miyano Akemi adjusted her sitting posture. She reached into the blanket and touched Hinata's collar. She found that it was still cold, so she held his chin and looked at him.

She raised her eyebrows helplessly, and straightened her body into a kneeling position, which was reasonably taller than Hinata who was sitting cross-legged. "Okay, pause the game now, can you tell me what Belmode said to you?"

Hinata has been feeling a little strange recently. The strangest time can be traced back to the day she went to attend the funeral. Today, after going out to answer a call from Belmode, Hinata's body was undulating like a tide.

The strangeness of attraction reaches its peak.

The two survivors in the game have a mother-son relationship. Hinata reasonably believes that the child is a drag, and feels that the female survivor can live a better life if she survives alone. This concept is too strange.

Miyano Akemi speculated that in the phone call just now, Bermod and Hinata said something reasonable, such as something that was 90% fact and 10% the art of language, but completely changed the meaning.

"No matter what happens," her eyes curled up with luster inside, "Lily will always be 'Lily'."

No matter what happens, Hinata will always be her brother.

Even if Belmode reasonably said to Hinata, 'You were not conceived and born by humans, but a product of ruthless technology,' even if the other party would still say, 'You like Miyano very much, right? But when you were a child, they

You are a researcher, and you are the person being researched. You have a completely opposite relationship.'

"Belmod?" Hinata didn't quite understand why he suddenly mentioned Belmode, but he raised his head and looked into Miyano Akemi's eyes, and he answered first, "That gentleman is going to die."

The two Miyanos were stunned.

Hinata stared into Miyano Akemi's eyes and calmly repeated the information she summarized, "He is seriously ill and is going to die."

The living room became quiet, with only the inappropriate sounds of games flowing quietly.

What does this news mean?

Miyano Akemi froze for more than ten seconds before slowly coming back to her senses.

There was an incredible surprise that quickly expanded in her chest, like fluffy marshmallows. Her chest was filled to the brim with nothing but surprise.

Then, a little bit of sadness fell, like light rain on the marshmallows, and she shrank up again with the surprise that filled her chest.

Putting aside the currently questionable cause of death of her parents, as well as the other party's reasonable attitude toward Hinata, it was the organization that raised her, and it was that gentleman who raised her.

She froze between the two emotions for a few more seconds, then she met Hinata's eyes that were looking at her reasonably, and immediately calmed down, "You are because that gentleman is... going to die, so you..."

"Is it sadder?"

"Ah," Hinata uttered a tone of voice that represented unresponsiveness, and he immediately refuted the slander, "No, I feel annoyed, but overall I am still happy, and there is no such emotion as 'sad'."

He was more confused, "Why do you think I will be sad about this?"

The reason is simple: that gentleman is your 'father', albeit in name only.

"Because," Miyano Akemi blinked, "for you, that gentleman should be 'family', right?"

"You are different when facing your 'family'."

This is the special treatment accumulated by Elena Miyano from a tentative hug to a reasonable and active hug by Hinata. It includes the 'family'.

"The first time I met him, he was so timid that he blindfolded me and made all preparations before he dared to see me," Hinata said reasonably, "The first time I met you, you were unprepared."
