"You heard it too. Even if you're my friend, they might not give you face."
Han Xiao shook his head. Aurora was a warm-hearted person, so of course, she was willing to help. However, Hila might not be the same. This little girl had a cold personality and did not like to meddle in other people's business. Furthermore, she was very protective of her younger sister, so she might interfere.
Although she owed Han Xiao a favor, with her strong personality, she would not let her sister repay the debt.
"No way, it's not too much to ask for them to use their Esper abilities." Herlous was anxious.
"This is because of history. Her sister needs to consume her own life force to use her Esper ability. She had some bad experiences in the past, so her nerves are very sensitive."
"You promised me." Herlous was unwilling to comply.
"Alright, I'll ask for you."
Han Xiao shook his head helplessly and walked out to stop the two sisters.
The giant white bear's nose twitched as it smelled a familiar scent. Its bean-sized eyes stared at Han Xiao hesitantly, not sure if this was its former owner. Only when Han Xiao waved his hand did it run out happily and roll around in front of Han Xiao, exposing its belly. The ground was covered in dust from its rolling.
"This bear has been raised by you." Han Xiao scratched the giant bear's chin. It was furry and felt better than Harmon's.
In the past, this bear was called Baby Bear. Now that it was a few meters tall, it could not be called Baby Bear anymore. Otherwise, it would be too disgusting.
"Yeah, it grew very fast and has always been by my side. My Esper ability made it full of life force," Aurora said with a smile.
Han Xiao touched his chin and pondered. "In that case, the quality of its meat should be very good."
The giant bear that was rolling around suddenly froze, and its ears stood up. It sensed that things were not simple.
"Why are you stopping us?" Hella was confused.
Han Xiao pulled Herlous out. "This is Herlous, my comrade. He was accidentally injured in a battle. If your eyes are good enough, you should be able to notice that he has a mechanical arm …"
Hella was speechless. "Have you been judging other people's eyes by the standards of a blind person?"
"I promised to heal his broken limb. I want Aurora to help me."
"Don't even think about it." Before Aurora could reply, Hella decisively refused.
Han Xiao's mouth twitched. "At least pretend to think about it …"
"You know my sister. She can heal other people's injuries, but it will consume her own life force. In this world, I only allow my sister to save one person … and that is you."
Hella suddenly paused. She thought for a moment and added, "But don't think that our friendship is that good. This is what we owe you. Other than you, we won't save anyone else."
Aurora had given her an incomparably exuberant life force. Her cells were constantly reacting by themselves, producing a special life force. Aurora's life force was like a bucket of water, and only a drop of water was needed to heal a serious injury. This consumption was just a drop in the bucket.
However, what was being consumed was "life force" after all …
Although Aurora was healthy now, Hella would not allow her to waste her life force because of this.
Before Han Xiao could say anything, Aurora interrupted. "Sister, this is just a small matter to me. I've always been the one being helped by others. I also want to help Black Star."
"No." Hella flatly refused.
"Sister, don't always make decisions for me." Aurora was helpless.
"Why don't you want to believe what I've taught you? In this world, kind people get bullied!" Hella said angrily. "It was like this just now, and it's like this now. When will you learn to be more careful? As long as there's a first time, all the injured people will come to you in the future. Are you going to keep consuming your life force to help?"
Han Xiao was immediately unhappy. Why did he feel that this woman was indirectly scolding him? Her skin was itching for a beating.
Han Xiao had asked Philip to pull up the surveillance video to explain the commotion at the quarantine station. The daily affairs of the fallout shelter were handled by Bennett, and the unimportant ordinary refugees could be dealt with however they wanted. No one could overturn the situation. Han Xiao was not so free as to interfere with such trivial matters. The main thing was to understand the cause of the conflict between the two sisters.
In the past, the two sisters were in a difficult situation and relied on each other. Now that they had lived safely for a few years and spent every day together, even if they were relatives whose blood was thicker than water, their personalities could not be completely compatible. There was bound to be friction, just like love that would end sooner or later. Only distance could create beauty.
"Sister, why do you always overdo it? I will naturally refuse when I don't want to," Aurora said. "Furthermore, Uncle Black Star has helped me so much. I want to repay him …"
"If I say no, it means no!"
Hella glared at Han Xiao and said in a low voice, "You're our benefactor. I will definitely repay this favor, but please don't have any ideas about my sister."
Han Xiao was speechless. She made it sound like he had some improper thoughts. She was overly protective.
Looking at the two sisters arguing, Herlous looked at Han Xiao and said weakly, "You're right. There's no chance."
"Old Herlous, let's go."
Just as the two were about to turn and leave, Aurora suddenly raised her voice and sounded very serious.
"Sister, you can't protect me forever, and I can't always be a child that needs to be protected. I beg you very seriously — don't make decisions for me."
"… No, your thinking is too childish. You don't know how to protect yourself at all." Hella did not buy it.
"Why do you always want to change me?" Aurora was angry for the first time. Her eyes flashed and she said, "What I despise the most is those who don't need help mocking those who are willing to help. Only those who have experienced it know how much they hope for others to lend a helping hand when they're in trouble. I know this feeling very well. When I needed help the most, day and night, I prayed countless times that someone would come and help me. Needles pierced into my veins time and time again, scalpels cut into my flesh time and time again, but no one came to help. Do you understand that kind of despair? "
Hella was stunned, and she looked ashamed. It was because of her negligence that Aurora was captured by the Germinal Organization and suffered so much. As the sister, she could not help much. It was only because of Han Xiao's sudden help that she saved her sister. Hella always felt that she was a failure as a sister.
In the past, Aurora would never talk about her pain in front of her. This was the first time she blamed her. Hella was caught off guard and did not know how to respond.
"I know that sister is a strong-willed person. In order to not give you pressure, every time I see you, I pretend to be optimistic and cheerful. But do you think it's possible for me to be happy?"
Aurora said seriously, "I've been through a lot of pain. I know how cruel people can be. I know the despair of being in a desperate situation with no one to help. The only thing I can do is to not succumb to the dark environment. I can't be easily changed by the pain and become a twisted person filled with hatred. Believe me, this is even more difficult than enduring the pain of sex."
"Han Xiao helped me when I was at my most desperate, so I'm willing to help others."
She stared into Hella's eyes and said softly, "We can't always live in the past. Everyone has to grow. Sister, I love you, but I'm not your toy. I have my own thoughts. I want to be the person I want to be."
Hella opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect the two sisters to quarrel. Perhaps the resentment that had been accumulated in the past few years that he wasn't around exploded.
Even if they had gone through a lot together, it was impossible for them to continue dating and loving each other. When there were no external enemies, it was inevitable that they would quarrel. This was something that Han Xiao had deeply experienced from his neighbor's discordant husband and wife life in his previous life.
However, quarreling wasn't necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, they could deepen their understanding of each other and seek common ground while reserving their differences.
Han Xiao shook his head. Heh, women.
Everyone was silent. Aurora scratched her face embarrassedly. Her strong aura instantly collapsed. She carefully asked, "Sister, I'm going to treat him."
"You've already said so much. What else can I say? Just pretend that you don't have a sister like me. Go, go." Hella said unhappily.
Aurora's face lit up, and she gave Hella a hug.
Seeing this, Han Xiao brought the few of them to the machinery modification room and dismantled Herlous' mechanical arm. Aurora aimed her palm at Herlous' broken arm, and a thick golden light shot out from her palm and entered Herlous' body. Granulation began to grow on the broken limb, and the itch was unbearable.
In the past few years, Aurora had also been developing her Esper Ability. She no longer needed to use blood to save people. Instead, she could release the active life energy in her body.
On the side, Han Xiao and Hella stood side by side, watching the treatment scene.
Suddenly, Hella spoke with a complicated tone. "Do you think I'm wrong?"
"Hmm?"
Han Xiao turned around and glanced at her. Hella pursed her lips and frowned. She was still brooding over what happened earlier.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone has their own ambitions. But if you ask me, I think you're more reasonable. This world is very dangerous, and enemies are everywhere. It's rational to play it safe."
"You actually think that way …" Hella had a strange look on her face. Han Xiao had returned from the universe when the planet was in danger. He was such a great person that she thought Han Xiao would support Aurora.
Han Xiao shrugged. "But if I have to choose … I'd rather be friends with kinder people."
If not for Aurora's insistence, his request would have been rejected by Hella. To him, he preferred obedient people.
Both sisters had potential. Grade S Esper Abilities were extremely rare. If Hella grew up and reached the height she had in Han Xiao's previous life, she could kill dozens of Herlous with one finger. Aurora's healing ability was also very useful. She was like a walking super health potion that could guarantee their lives.
As for their opposite personalities, Han Xiao did not mind. As long as they were useful talents, these problems were not important. For example, Ames was very willful, but not many people in the Shattered Star Ring dared to criticize her. Thus, ability was the most important.
…
Not long after, Herlous' arm grew out. His skin was very tender. He tried waving it a few times and was pleasantly surprised. "Haha, my arm is back."
Aurora wiped the sweat off her forehead and happily said, "It's good that I can help."
Han Xiao patted her head and praised her. Then, he left with Herlous. Herlous was very satisfied with his new arm and was happy all the way.
After returning to his room, Han Xiao sent Herlous away, took out his galactic communicator, and opened the Garton Star System's regional channel.
Now that the plan to recruit players was on the right track, and he had obtained the Energy Skills that would lead him to the next level, the next step was to see when Godora's rescue team would arrive.
Version 2.0 had been open for half a month. Counting the days, Godora should be arriving soon.
The Garton Star System was under Godora's jurisdiction. It was too much of a coincidence for so many civilizations to have a disaster happen at the same time. Godora naturally had their suspicions. The first thing they thought of was their archenemy, Dark-star. They felt that this might be a conspiracy, so they did not act rashly and investigated for a period of time.
However, a few hours ago, Han Xiao's communicator received a regional notification regarding this matter.
Many galactic media outlets noticed the situation in Godora's jurisdiction and reported on it. Thus, the disaster attracted even more attention, and Godora's media was the most concerned. After all, this was a problem in the jurisdiction of a civilization.
After a series of reports, more and more Godora citizens learned about the disaster that had befallen their allies. They also realized that their own civilization had not sent out any rescue teams after a long time, and the citizens started to clamor for the leaders to send out rescue teams as soon as possible.
After looking at the regional news of the Garton Star System, Han Xiao raised his brows and came to a conclusion.
"Dark-star has started to move …"
At this time, Godora had not officially intervened, and the news of the Mutation Disaster was naturally leaked by Dark-star in the dark. With some people adding fuel to the fire, it created a large-scale impact, making the entire Godora Civilization the center of attention.
Other than Han Xiao, the entire Star System thought that this was a sudden and unknown disaster. No one knew that this was Dark-star's scheme.
"If I'm not wrong, Dark-star's team should be hiding on Blue Star, right?"
Han Xiao's eyes flickered as he pondered.
