Chapter 184 Li’s Changes

"Sakura, don't forget that you are also my family, and you are the first family member I recognize."

Li stared at Sakura's still uneasy eyes seriously.

"Family members need to be tolerant, not to mention that your behavior is not a fault in the first place, so please relax and believe what I just said, okay?"

Li held Sakura in his arms, stroking her head gently as if comforting her sister, with a gentle smile on her lips.

"Um……"

Perhaps it was Li's behavior that finally made Sakura let go of her uneasiness. She obediently leaned her head on Li's chest, closed her eyes, and stopped moving as if she had completely fallen into a gentle land.

[Hey, Sakura, is there anything else you want me to move for you? Get it all at once! 】

[No, no, no, no more...]

【oh? So what are these on your hands? 】

【Eh! Don't! Really, I can just take these myself, and I can’t put all the work on you...]

【You are my sister~Of course I will help if I can~】

[Who, who said that! I didn't admit it! Stop making your own decisions! 】

[Ah~ Sakura doesn’t recognize me as her brother? In this case, what's the point of my life? Don't stop me, I'm going to jump into the river! 】

[Hmph, I don’t believe it...Eh, eh, eh? Don't really jump! The river bed is dry. If you jump in, you will definitely fall to death, right? ! 】

【It doesn’t matter! There is no difference between falling to death and drowning. They are both the same word. 】

【I see! I got it! Can't I be your sister? 】

【keep your word? 】

[Hmph...let's make it! 】

Thinking about it now, Sakura's temperament at that time was somewhat similar to Suzu's now. Now she is much more mature, but she is too worried about gains and losses. I wonder if Suzu will become like her sister in the future?

Glancing at Ling who quietly poked her head out from the kitchen to observe the situation, Li turned to smile at her.

"!"

Ling was startled and quickly retracted her head. When she reappeared, she had already walked out with a plate full of watermelon.

Ling's eyes moved back and forth between Li and her sister, gradually becoming meaningful.

Although I don’t know what’s going on between the two of them, it seems that they have returned to a normal relationship and have even made some progress?

……

"That's it. That's all Li told me to tell you."

Alicia also completed Li's instructions to her and told Mei all his requests. Alicia didn't want to find anyone else because she always felt uncomfortable when getting along with other senior officials.

In this case, it is better to go to Mei directly. After all, she has a lot of power now, and the relationship between the two is not bad. If it is her, um... she should be able to agree to Li's request, right?

But after listening to what Alicia told her, Mei shook her head helplessly.

"I have ordered those two people to be released, but..."

She opened the surveillance video on her computer, where everything in the interrogation room and prison was recorded.

Qianjie sat in the deepest part of the cell, motionless. His face could not be seen clearly under the cover of the mask. Even whether he was awake was unknown.

Outside the cell, there were a lot of soldiers looking at each other, scratching their heads and looking like they were totally helpless against the man inside.

The soldiers have tried to talk to Qianjie, but there is no response. In this case, they dare not go in. According to the intelligence, this guy's combat power is very terrifying, and no one wants to take the risk of fighting him first. touch.

In the interrogation room, Aponya sat quietly on the chair, closed her eyes, clasped her hands, and acted in a manner consistent with her dress.

prayer.

But this was a disaster for the other people who came into the interrogation room. Faced with such an incompetent nun, they could not take action under the constraints of Mei's order. They could only try to send this aunt out by talking. .

But just like Qianjie, Aponya seemed to have her hearing blocked. No matter how much these people tried to persuade her, she almost didn’t respond. The only time she said two words was:

Atonement.

"Well..." Alicia blinked. Although she had expected it, she was still a little surprised that these two people were so stubborn.

Apponia hopes to get a chance to redeem her sins, while Qianjie is like a homeless beast who no longer trusts anyone.

How can we convince them?

Alicia was thinking silently in her mind.

"Alicia, what do you think of Li's current mental state?" Mei suddenly asked.

"Eh? Ask me?" Alicia's thoughts were interrupted, she pointed at herself and confirmed.

"Yes, you have had close contact and conversations with him, and you should be able to roughly feel Li's current state." Mei nodded.

"He has become a lot colder." Alicia's voice was a little low. Although Li didn't show it to her, Alicia could feel it, especially the expression on her face at the moment when she turned to say goodbye. The change was like changing a mask, the polite smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes became indifferent.

Li probably thought he was hiding it well, right? Although he was trying not to let his mood affect the people around him, the keen Alicia still noticed it.

"Yeah……?"

Mei moved the mouse and adjusted the surveillance video to the scene where Li broke into the prison before, then paused at a certain moment and zoomed in.

Suddenly, only Li's face and the eyes belonging to the Herrscher were left on the computer screen.

"His body has also changed." Mei pointed at the center of Li's eyes on the screen, where there was a tiny red dot embedded in it.

Mei adjusted the video forward slightly, and the red dot disappeared.

"...What is this?" Alicia asked confused.

"I don't know." Mei said bluntly.

"Maybe it's a normal expression of anger, or maybe it's a sign before the Herrscher's transformation deepens? Who knows?" While saying this, Mei kept her eyes on Alicia. After showing no expression of surprise at all, he secretly said in his heart that it was true.

This girl has already learned about Li's identity.

If it were before, Mei would have wanted to study Li's current physical changes, but in this situation it is no longer time to study. The primary goal now is to stabilize Li's emotions and try not to test his bottom line.

This is why Mei directly ordered the release of Qianjie and Aponya, who were still guilty, without saying anything.

It's not that Li won't get angry, it's just that his bottom line is very low, to the point of being outrageously low. Li may not take it seriously if he touches him personally, but if it threatens his family, then I'm sorry, tonight It's best to be careful when sleeping.

Tonight's incident was an accident. The children infected with Honkai Disease actually had a close relationship with Li, which no one expected.

And it was also for this reason, and because reason was still telling him not to quarrel with the Fire Chaser Moth, that Li Cai didn't take action directly, right?
