Chapter 187 Compensation
Inside Car No. 1...
Holrod followed Olena in. Before entering the carriage, he deliberately extinguished the pipe in his mouth and poured it out to avoid the strong smell of smoke.
After entering the carriage, he felt a strange atmosphere.
Shihui was leaning on the bed in a sickly manner, her face pale as a sheet of paper, but even so, it could not diminish her incomparable beauty.
He followed Olena and sat opposite the lime. The other side was full of women and children, and he couldn't go over there.
"What crazy plan are these two careless guys coming up with again..."
At this time, Shihui was chatting with Momo who was sitting beside the bed. Her voice was very weak and accompanied by coughing, while Annie lay beside her obediently, listening to their conversation.
After hearing Shihui's experience, Momo couldn't help but hold his chin up in thought. After thinking for a long time, he spoke:
"I think that invisible monster should be some kind of rules-based thing, right?"
"Yes, it moved by blinking. I had to stare at it the whole time to make sure it was still. Only then did I take the gamble."
Hearing this, Momo smiled and shook his head, saying admiringly: "You have such admirable courage and a smart mind. This gamble would have resulted in the death of the entire car if you were not careful, but you caught clues from the pattern, which is really amazing."
To him, the princess in front of him was a person of great skill and courage. She seemed to be fearless and unafraid of nothing. Even though the world had collapsed into this state, she did not despair or panic, but instead moved forward firmly.
Shihui frowned, and almost picked up the pillow behind his waist and threw it at his face, and said unhappily: "I'm not saying this just to hear your praise, but I want to know why there was suddenly that thing in the car."
Shihui herself has been unable to figure out this question for a long time. Why did that kind of monster appear out of the blue? It was like a random BOSS that suddenly refreshed. If that was the case, their future journey might no longer be so safe.
Momo gave his own explanation: "That thing is similar to a monster in a specific area. I have encountered it before, and I can't get rid of it at all. I have to kill it to end the opponent's harassment and attacks."
"And the most likely reason for triggering this thing is that there's an Outer God's power nearby, attracting this monster here. Your kind is far more terrifying than mine, and I might not even have the courage to take such a gamble as you do."
"As for the strength of the attraction to these things, it depends entirely on the strength of the surrounding contaminated Outer God energy. Many incomprehensible or crazy hallucinations are caused by them. They invade the human brain like poison gas and distort their humanity."
"I see!"
After hearing this, Shihui suddenly understood and looked at Rotz. This guy was controlled by Hastur at the time and caused her a lot of trouble.
All the girls around reacted and looked at Roots. It turned out that the root of all the problems lay with her.
Seeing this, Roth lowered his head and explained in a low voice: "I really didn't mean it. After I was attacked, my memory and thoughts became abnormal. I didn't know what happened until I was awakened by Miss Hilde."
The victims were only Roz and Anne, plus Lime who was badly cheated, but after she knew the reason, she did not kill the other party in anger.
After all, when she was injured and unconscious under the tree, Shihui had already vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"This matter is not entirely your fault. After all, it was me who asked you to attract those bounty hunters, and the plan was very successful. It helped us solve unnecessary troubles to a large extent."
"Thank you, Miss Hilde..."
Roots had nothing much to say about Lime's defense. The other party really did not put all the blame on him. Instead, he was able to remain calm after being almost killed by him. It can be said that he was rational beyond common sense.
It could also be because she herself still has some value, but the other party's thinking and logic are very strong, so she didn't take this opportunity to embarrass her.
It was precisely because of this that she became even more afraid to talk to Shihui. After all, she had been ruthless when she attacked him.
Momo smiled and said, "Hehe, he is indeed a rational and wise king. If it were someone else, he would have been thrown off the train to feed the zombies."
Upon hearing this, Shihui fell into complete silence, her face speechless. Roth, who was sitting next to her, also looked at him unhappily, wishing he could sew up his poisonous mouth.
Noticing that the atmosphere was starting to become strange, Momo could only complain to Shihui: "You guys, hey, even you are starting to dislike me."
"I've always been annoyed with you!"
Shi Hui responded to him without hesitation. After all, this guy was like a trap. She didn't know whether he was good or bad, but he had really trapped her.
As for the fact that they were unhappy with Momo, all the women on the train agreed. Even Holod agreed and couldn't help but nod.
"Alas, it turns out that women's hearts are cold and cannot be warmed up at all."
Helplessly, Momo took out an exquisitely shaped silver cylindrical prop from his red cloak. The hollow design and flower embellishment of this thing made it look particularly high-end.
Shihui naturally also sensed the strange magical aura on it, but she didn't say anything. She was more curious about what this thing could be used for.
Momo simply placed the silver prop gently in front of her bedside cabinet. The prop seemed to sense something and emitted a warm light from inside, accompanied by a strange fragrance.
Lime sniffed the scent; it had a slightly bitter minty flavor, and the rest was a mixture of lavender and something similar to mugwort. Anne, who was lying in her arms, looked at the prop with curiosity, her eyes shining brightly.
It is normal for girls to like beautiful things, especially Annie. After following Shihui for a long time, her aesthetic taste has gradually improved. Compared with her, the beautiful women in the village are really miserable.
"What is this?"
In response to Annie's question, Momo smiled and replied gently: "This is my gift to compensate your mother. It can calm her mind and recover from injuries."
"However, the main function of this item is to calm the mind, but it is very slow to heal injuries. However, it cannot be said that it is ineffective. A wound that takes at least a month to heal can be healed eight or nine days earlier..."
Even Momo himself was speechless when he said this. The recovery ability of this item was extremely useless. He had only used it once since he got it, and it had been put away since then. If he hadn't seen that there were only women here who loved beautiful things, he would have almost forgotten about this thing.
Annie was a little confused. She tugged at the sleeve of her loose lime pajamas and asked, "Mom, what do you think~"
Ever since she called Shihui "Mom", Annie has been extremely attached to her. She used to be an older sister with whom she had no relationship, but now she is a gentle mother. The gap between the two is huge, which prevents her from always being a spoiled child to Shihui.
But now it’s different. Shihui has become her mother, so even if she is his child, of course he can always act coquettishly towards her.
Shihui rubbed her little head and explained: "It's something that can help you have a sweet dream, well, but it's really powerful..."
The first sentence was explained to Annie, and the second sentence was said while looking at Momo. He shrugged his shoulders and said:
"It goes without saying, but this is the most magical item among my few magical items. Although it may not be of much help to you right now, it can relieve your mental fatigue."
Upon hearing this, Shihui was completely speechless. She felt that the other party was just talking nonsense. She grabbed a handful of lavender and hung it on the wall, and she could still relieve her mental fatigue.
Not to mention the other ladies, they were almost ready to load their bullets.
In their eyes, Miss Hilde was so seriously injured, yet he still had the audacity to offer such a thing as compensation.
Perhaps noticing Shihui's speechless look, Momo quickly explained: "I just told you that it is the most magical prop. Don't just listen to the second half, Your Highness, since you are a mother, you must set an example for your children."
To him, the other party's thoughts and actions were beyond his expectations. She was a mysterious woman who was hard to understand. But one thing was certain, that was she was crazier than anyone else and more daring than anyone else to risk her life.
This kind of behavior can easily influence children. Even an adult like Ole is affected, not to mention little Annie who is less than five or six years old.
Hearing the other person mention lime, Annie knelt on the bed and threw herself into her arms, making faces at Momo.
"Lululu, you don't need to teach me, my mom has always been the best!"
Shihui looked at the lovely Annie in his arms, stroked her gently, and comforted her: "Haha~ But there are some things you really can't learn from me. I will teach you slowly in the future."
"At the same time, please quickly tell us about the magic of this lantern, hero. After all, we don't have that much time to waste on you."
Momo didn't care about Annie's retort at all. Instead, she felt that this might be the reason why Shihui liked her so much. She was obedient and sensible in front of her, always looking like a good baby, with her golden hair and light freckles.
"When it comes to a little kid like this who is around four years old, you should teach her more knowledge. Unfortunately, in today's world, just staying alive is already a struggle."
"Oh~ I didn't expect you to tell her age at a glance. At first I thought she was seven or eight years old, so I didn't take too much care of her~".
Annie, lying in her arms, was gentle, sensible and very cute: "It's okay, mommy is always the gentlest!"
At first Shishi thought she was seven or eight years old. After all, she couldn't tell the age of a child at all. That was until Annie told her that she had only seen snow four times since she could remember.
Only then did she realize that the other person might not even be five years old, and had followed her on the escape in such a miserable way.
Momo rubbed his neck with a headache and said, "It seems that you are still very careless as a mother, so you must hold her tighter. Children are very fragile and can be easily frightened and affected. They do not have the will and rationality of adults."
"Even adults or scholars cannot resist the crazy knowledge and torture, but this item can help you recover and strengthen your mental will while you sleep."
"The most important point is that even I can use this thing, and it doesn't cost anything. I really can't understand how there can be such a thing that breaks common sense."
Momo did not lie. Every time he found a magic item, he would use it once or for a period of time, but this thing did not bring him any negative effects.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Shihui became interested and wanted to reach out to take the strange aromatherapy night light. Momo picked it up and put it in front of her. After all, Shihui's condition was extremely serious just by looking at her expression and strength.
After all, he had just miraculously survived near death and serious injuries, so it was a blessing that he could recover to this extent.
Shihui shook the magic prop in her hand and found that the light source inside did not change with her shaking. Then she looked at her daughter who was staring at her in her arms and handed it directly to Annie.
Annie carefully shrank back to the right side of the lime, looking at the night light with curiosity, while the little girl with perfume sitting on the sofa to her right could only stare at the prop in her hand.
It would be a lie to say that I am not envious. To have such a great mother, and a noble princess at that, is so unreal and fantastical that anyone would smile from ear to ear.
Looking at Annie imitating his own swaying, Shime joked:
"Be careful, don't break it, otherwise this bad uncle will use mom to pay off his debts."
"Woo~ Then give it to the bad uncle. Annie can't leave her mother!"
Momo laughed out loud when he heard this, and looking at the serious look on that little face, he explained:
"Your mother is just teasing you. I'll be thankful if she doesn't take all my money."
"Besides, this is my apology to her. How could I ask for it back? If you don't believe me, just ask her."
After hearing what Momo said, Annie looked at Shihui eagerly. Without her nod, she absolutely could not accept the child. She could not be too willful just because the child was her mother's. She knew this.
"Um"
After getting Shime's nod of permission, she got out of bed with the props and ran to the little girl selling perfume. The two little ones started looking at it together.
For the two little ones, this thing was too magical. Although they had seen Lime's magic, they could not use it, let alone her props for them to play with.
Anne still remembers her mother's angry look when Ole used the lime props without permission. She felt like the whole room was about to freeze.
This also made Annie understand the first rule in front of her mother.
You must not touch the contents of her backpack without permission!
There is only this one rule, and it is also the most terrifying rule. If you dare to make such a mistake, you will be in trouble.
