Today, the temperature in the City of Sighs hit a record low. Although the vast frozen land was in an uninhabited wasteland, the cold air still seeped into the survivors' living areas.
Everyone had seen the two suns that had erupted, and everyone had also seen the cold air that had frozen the suns.
Almost everyone thought it was a miracle of God. A few people saw that it was a small nuclear bomb, but they were even more puzzled as to how the nuclear bomb was frozen into such a large ice ball.
Had Future City come up with some big new project?
A feeling of panic began to spread in the city, and everyone put on an extra layer of protection.
At this moment, in the ordinary villa that was out of place with its surroundings, the living room was already full of people.
"Isn't it obvious enough what's going on?!" The higher-ups of the City of Sighs had almost filled all the available seats in the living room. The group of people was completely different from when they were in their offices.
In the offices, they were timid and didn't even dare to speak loudly. They would only shout back at Siegfried when they were pushed to the limit.
But at this moment, these people were all glaring, or were preoccupied with their own thoughts. The fat man who was always smiling was so agitated that he stood up from his seat.
"When you found that girl, you all saw what she looked like, right?!" Even with a large coffee table in between, Shigure Kira could see the fat man's spit flying out.
"Can that be called a human anymore?! She's a monster! It was her who caused Mr. Siegfried to lose his arm!!"
"The matter is not yet settled!" Nicholas leaned against the doorway, holding a long black and red spear in her hands. She tutted impatiently at the fat man. "And if you dare to shout in here again, I'll definitely use Jizo Mitama to shred your tongue!"
As she spoke, the black and red long spear in her hand emitted a dark red light, and wisps of black mist rose from the spear, making Nicholas look like a demon from hell.
This was the state where Jizo Mitama was always active. Nicholas was not in her casual clothes at this moment, but was wearing a set of professional-looking combat armor.
And Shigure Kira, who was sitting in front of everyone, was also holding a dark purple heavy sniper rifle in her arms. The purple electric currents that flashed across the gun from time to time also indicated that this gun was in a state of being ready to fire at any time.
She also had a unique set of combat armor on her body. It was not as heavy and sharp as Nicholas's, but it had more external attachments and looked more functional.
"Hmph, you..." But Nicholas's threat seemed to have no effect. The fat man's expression even turned sinister as he turned around and was about to speak to Nicholas. Nicholas also tightened her grip on Jizo Mitama when the fat man turned around.
"Enough," an old man with a long beard said coldly to the fat man. Only then did the fat man stop talking and instantly retract all his expressions and sit back down.
Nicholas would really stab him in the mouth with that long spear. The fat man himself was afraid, but he couldn't back down on this matter. Both Siegfried's injury and the frozen nuclear bomb forced them to be on high alert.
Nicholas would only shred his tongue, but that monster would really take his life! Take everyone's life!
"Before Cecilia makes a judgment, we will take on the task of being on guard," Shigure Kira said, sitting upright in the center. Facing the group of people's hostile glares, she just placed her hand on the grip of the Seven Thunders of Retribution.
"As for 'Kiana's' problem, please rest assured. Salome is in her room, watching her every move. If there is really something wrong with her, Salome will inform us."
As she spoke, a door on the second floor facing the hall opened. Salome, wearing a down jacket, stood at the door, holding a small black and gold ball in her hand. Twelve suspended blades surrounded her, each so thin and sharp that it made people feel a stinging pain just by looking at them.
The moment the door opened, a wave of cold air came out from the room behind her. She stood on the second floor, looking down at the crowd, and then closed the door with a cold face.
The fat man's sinister face finally looked a little better.
"I know you are all responsible people. If that... child runs out and hurts someone, you will be the first to disagree," the old man with a long beard said, choosing his words carefully. "But our point of view is not wrong. That child's appearance is definitely not something a human should have.
"And that cold air..." The old man looked back at the people in the room. Except for Nicholas and Shigure Kira, everyone was wearing thick clothes, especially the fat man. He was already so fat that his neck was not visible, and he was completely a ball.
The old man sighed and said to Shigure Kira in the tone of an experienced person: "I have been here for more than forty years... I have seen all kinds of people here, good, bad, greedy, selfless...
"I have watched those people fight to survive here, watched them try to change themselves to fit in. Those with ability make others change to suit themselves.
"But there is one thing I can be sure of... that is, no one is willing to change themselves easily, because that is a very painful thing."
At this point, Shigure Kira finally nodded in silence.
"If you can't change that child, no one here has the ability to change themselves and adapt to her," the old man said, deliberately pulling the scarf around his neck.
His meaning was already very clear. Even if they ignored Bianka's ferocious appearance, the cold air on her body had already reached the point of frostbiting others.
They had to rely on these cold-proof clothes just to stay in the same house with Bianka. They couldn't imagine how low the temperature was in the room Bianka was staying in at this moment.
If it were in the past, Future City would have been very happy to accept such an "outlier," customizing special network equipment and residences for her. She could still integrate into human society. She had many ways to join the family of civilization.
But now it was after the Great Honkai, an era where one had to pray to God just to live. And the hand of the Fire Moths, the only one that could represent hope, had not yet reached out. How could they let people accept such an "outlier" with peace of mind?
She had to leave.
This was the minimum answer they gave.
The old man's words left Shigure Kira at a loss for words. Just as she clenched her fist, Cecilia's tired voice came from behind her.
"We already know. Leave the rest to us."
