Chapter 905 Chapter 903 · "Thousands of people will accuse you, but I will not."

  The first ray of morning light fell into the room, and Su Mingan opened his eyes.

   Today is the third day that the dungeon has been opened, and he is going to the psychological counseling center in the morning.

  The clock on the wall reads 8:40 am. The green and fluffy branches and leaves curl up in the potted plants. He looked at the sofa for the first time, and Alice was no longer on the sofa, and the sound of cooking came from the kitchen. It appears that Alice is cooking.

  【Girl: Detective, I’ve made breakfast. 】

  …

  An indescribable smell wafted from the kitchen. Su Mingan looked up and saw Alice walking over with a pot of sticky porridge.

  【Detective: ... (staring at porridge and frowning)】

  【Detective: Alice, have you ever learned to cook... No, your culinary attribute point is 0, so it is understandable to make this kind of breakfast. 】

  【Girl: I took a sip, it tastes okay, you can try it. 】

  …

  Su Mingan looked at Alice's eyes full of expectation, picked up a spoon and took a sip of porridge, his expression suddenly turned into a mask of pain. He glanced at the system introduction of this pot of porridge:

  【Item: Difficult to drink porridge

  Eating effect: three points of health are deducted every minute, lasting for ten minutes.

  Evaluation: Difficult to drink porridge. 】

  …

  Su Mingan immediately put down the pot of porridge.

  【Detective: Alice...you should learn to cook porridge with me first, your current cooking skills are not suitable for cooking. 】

  【Girl: Hey... Mr. Detective, is your cooking delicious? 】

  【Detective: Not bad. I'm going to make a pot of porridge now, you follow me to learn. 】

  【Girl: Mmmmm! (Nodding desperately)]

  …

  Su Mingan walked into the kitchen, took out the pot and started cooking porridge. After all, Alice has lived in a slum since she was a child, and it is normal to have never cooked hot food. Still have to rely on him to cook.

   "Gududu—"

  In the steam smudge, the sun shines on the boiling water, Su Mingan holds a spoon, stirs the rice paste, and looks out the window.

  From the window glass in the kitchen, you can see the scene of most of the block. Gear locomotives and motorcycles are like iron-gray birds, and people in coarse linen are like clouds floating among the birds. The window glass reflects a layer of rainbow-like light, making people feel as if they are standing in the sky.

  Looking at these, Su Mingan felt an unspeakable warmth.

  The background music in his ears was extremely relaxing, and the beeping porridge white steam lifted his chin, and with a beep, the stove went out.

  Su Mingan distributed the porridge he cooked to Alice. Alice took the bowl and drank it obediently.

  【Girl (difficult, reluctant): The porridge cooked by Mr. Detective is really delicious. 】

  【Detective: Right. I have been drinking porridge made by myself since I was a child, and it is not difficult to drink. (confidence)】

  …

   While packing up the dishes, Su Mingan took a look at the system introduction of his porridge:

  【Item: Extremely unpalatable porridge

  Eating effect: Obtain a "nausea" state that lasts for ten minutes, and there is a chance of abnormal states such as "poisoning" and "vomiting".

  Comment: The porridge is extremely unpalatable, it is hard to imagine how it is made. 】

  …

  Su Mingan glanced at Alice who was still licking the bottom of the bowl. Why did the system evaluation of his porridge still say "extremely bad"? Alice's evaluation is only "difficult to drink", why has her "difficult to drink" level increased by one level?

  【Detective: Nothing. 】

  【Detective: Alice, I will leave here at twelve noon today, and it will be half a year before I reappear. 】

  【Girl: Why? Mr. Detective, can you not go? 】

  【Detective: It’s hard for me to explain why I left suddenly for so long, but it will always be like this in the future—I will only show up once every six months to help you arrange your schedule, and then I will leave suddenly. 】

  【Girl: ...I won’t ask any more questions, Mr. Detective. You must have your reasons. 】

  【Detective: Before I leave, I will teach you how to live independently. You can live in this house forever, and when I see you next time, you will be thirteen years old. 】

  …

  Su Mingan began to teach Alice various common sense of life. According to the situation of Alice cooking porridge, if he suddenly disappeared for half a year, it would be difficult for her to live independently in this house by herself.

   "This is called a radish, you need to cut it like this..." Su Mingan took out the knife. The moment he took out the knife, he subconsciously assumed the posture of chopping people, and then quickly realized that he returned to the posture of cutting vegetables.

   "Oh, oh!" Alice nodded.

   "In addition to cooking porridge, you can also try to make broth. Let me teach you, after the water boils, first throw in the meat, then the green vegetables, and then the Chinese cabbage..."

   "Is it okay to just throw it in?"

   "Uh, uh...it should be like this..."

   "Master Detective, the color of this broth looks a bit strange, and the smell is also a bit like the smell I smelled when I picked up trash..."

   "It shouldn't be difficult to drink. A friend of mine said this broth is delicious."

   "Your friend is really amazing!"

  The broth was gurgling in the pot, and the smell wafted out the window. Neighbors pushed the door out one after another, wondering which garbage dump it was.

  Subsequently, Su Mingan taught Alice to do laundry.

   "Put the clothes in the basin to soak first, and then rub the fabric with saponins..." Su Mingan rolled up his sleeves and soaked the clothes in the basin.

   "Yeah, um." Alice squatted beside her, looking at it seriously.

   "After drying, long-sleeved shirts should be folded like this to save space, and trousers... I don't know much about skirts, so you can just hang them up."

   "Okay, Mr. Detective."

  Su Mingan gave Alice a few smaller clothes and asked her to use them first.

  Alice really doesn't understand anything. Cooking, laundry, common sense of life... She knows almost nothing. But Su Mingan knew that from now on, she would embark on an extraordinary path. Even in areas she has never touched, she must be proficient.

   "Don't shake your legs when you eat."

   "Okay, Mr. Detective!"

   "Don't bark your mouth when eating, and keep your voice low when drinking soup."

   "Understood, Mr. Detective!"

   "Alice, don't stick the knife and fork in the bread, that's for sacrificing the dead."

   "Huh? Is there such a rule, Mr. Detective?"

  “…I don’t know very well. When I was very young, my mother told me not to stick chopsticks into the rice, otherwise I would be feeding the dead. I think this kind of behavior should be avoided in this era.”

   "I understand, Mr. Detective's mother must be a very gentle person, even this kind of thing must be explained clearly."

"…I guess so."

  At 9:30 in the morning, Su Mingan finished teaching the common sense of life. Take Alice out to buy clothes. He sold all the detective's alcohol and tobacco, exchanged some money, and bought some daily necessities for Alice.

  Alice was wearing an orange kitten dress, and turned around in front of the dressing mirror in the clothing store.

  Different from the appearance of the back alley last night, Alice seemed to have been reborn. Her black hair was smooth and slender, and she looked confident and cheerful when she tried on the dress. It was not at all obvious that she was once a waif.

  Su Mingan looked down at the account book. The detective's cigarettes and alcohol were all sold and there were only 43 grams. After buying things for Alisa, there was not much left.

  【Girl: Thank you Mr. Detective for buying me clothes, I think that suits you very well! 】

  Su Mingan turned his head and saw that there were several clothes hanging in the men's clothing area next to him. Alice was referring to a jet black overcoat.

  【Detective: No, I don’t need it. 】

  【Girl (puckering lips): You only buy things for me. I... I really don't know how to repay your kindness. 】

  …

  【The emotional value of "Girl" is reduced to: 60%】

  …

  Su Mingan thought for a while, squatted down, and looked at Alice.

  He still wanted to explain some things clearly so as not to cause problems later.

  【Detective: Alice, you don’t need to repay me. 】

  【Detective: In the future, you may experience horrible and painful things, which will affect the fate of the entire world. It is for this purpose that I want to train you into a human being. 】

  【Detective: According to the information I got before, that event in the future will make you unable to turn back, you will leave important people behind, and even die before dawn. You will be extremely painful, and even become an obsession that is no longer "you". But maybe only you can accomplish this mission. 】

  【Detective: It is for this purpose that I saved you. 】

【girl:…】

  【Girl: …That’s okay too. 】

  【Detective (slightly startled): Is it okay? I can even predict that the pain of walking with the fate of the world is definitely worse than death. When the time comes, you may even hate me for raising you. 】

  【Girl: Why do you always blame yourself so much? Why do you always place the blame on yourself like this? I have repeated many times, I am very grateful to you. Why do you always ask my wishes again and again? It's me who should say "thank you", not you. 】

  【Detective: Because I have been accused too much. 】

  【Girl: — But thousands of people will criticize you, but I will not. 】

  【Girl: If thousands of people say you are a villain, I will cover my ears and stop listening to these words. If tens of thousands of people say you are selfish, I will close my eyes and not see their evil deeds. If hundreds of millions of people call you a devil, I will still stand by your side and walk with you until the end. If these hundreds of millions of people want to raise their flags and shout, declaring that you will die, I will stand in front of you with a weapon and die before you. 】

  【Girl: You may think that we are just friends who have just met for a day, and I am too young to take what I say seriously. 】

  【Girl: But I'm serious, Mr. Detective. 】

  【Girl: The warmth I have never felt in my life, you gave me in the coldest night. Even if you don't tell me the love that I haven't felt in my life, I can feel it. 】

  【Girl: That's enough. 】

  【Girl: Would you... believe me? 】

  …

  Su Mingan was stunned.

   He looked at the girl who only reached his chest.

  The girl was wearing an orange dress from a clothing store. She was slender and short, but she was such an ordinary-looking girl. Her words so resolutely touched him.

  【Detective:...】

  【Detective: I see... (moved)】

  【Detective: ...system, I am not moved. (duplicity)]

  【Girl: Detective, from the first time I saw you, I thought you were like a holy angel. Sometimes, I feel that you give me a very strong sense of intimacy. I thought, maybe we met before when neither of us could remember? If we really met for the first time last night, it was really a fateful meeting guided by the gods. When I saw you for the first time, I felt like my heart was touched. 】

  【Detective: Maybe. 】

  …

   After taking Alice to buy things, Su Mingan went to Wangcheng.

  He was surprised to find that many of his skills were not available in this game, such as spatial displacement. It seems that this "Girl's Dream Project" is really a game with the theme of "nurture", the main focus is a "warm healing", and even the strength of the players is suppressed. Otherwise, just kill all the children of other dream patrollers, what else are others playing.

   Arriving at Wangcheng, Su Mingan met the captain of the Bright Knight here. He used the "Innate Bloodline Awakening Circle" obtained in the Fifth World Minghui, and showed it to the knight captain.

  【Ferguson Kyle (Captain of the Bright Knight): You... are amazing. You can actually improve a person's talent by drawing a magic circle on the ground. I feel that under the cover of this talent circle, I immediately become stronger. Detective, can you really only draw this magic circle three times? 】

  【Detective (puts away the quill): Yes. This kind of magic circle is called "Talent Bloodline Awakening Magic Circle". I charge 10,000 Kerr for each painting. If you need it, you can find me at 3030 Mike Street after half a year. 】

  【Ferguson Kyle: Please rest assured. I will report this matter to the royal family, and I believe Her Royal Highness will be happy to see you when she returns from winter hunting. 】

  …

   Solved the problem of funds, a full 30,000 Kerr starting assets are enough to train Alice into an adult.

  After bidding farewell to Alice, Su Mingan quit the game, and sat on the bed for a while holding the dream patrol helmet.

   While doing those warm daily routines, Su Ming'an would feel for a moment that he didn't seem to be in the cruel and dangerous world game.

  It wasn't until he returned to the present world that he thought of his pile of vests, and he didn't think about it. This kind of relaxed daily life would never belong to him.

  …

  Psychological Counseling Center

  Su Mingan came to the psychological counseling center located in the center of the city. Not sure what the vest of "Dr. Su" looked like, he put on thick glasses and a mask.

   When entering the door, a young patient in a blue and white hospital gown almost bumped into Su Mingan.

"Hey hey hey, I saw it! I saw it! You are all blind, you are all deaf! Only I am the most awake, only I hear! This world does not exist at all! Ten thousand worlds do not exist! Hey, ha, it doesn't exist!"

  The young patient yelled words that others could not understand, and ran around like a headless chicken, followed by a bunch of doctors and nurses, who pushed him down and subdued him.

  Su Mingan took a few more steps, but this time he was almost hit by another patient.
