Chapter 369 There is no past

In a corner of the shopping street, in a jewelry store that has been rarely visited by customers since its opening, two idle empire leaders and a dull girl named Sylvia are leisurely enjoying their coffee time after finishing work in the afternoon.

.

The girl in front of me has long silver-white hair, always wears a harmless smile, and her mind is always a beat slower than the real world. Her name is Sylvia Lustan O'Shalier, an image that sounds similar to hers.

The completely incompatible aristocratic name makes people wonder if this is a princess from a certain country who lives in the palace and has no knowledge of the world and came to experience life among the people. Of course, this is impossible. She is just a girl who needs to learn how to rent a store.

Under the welfare protection of the Garden City, the manager and the only clerk of a small jewelry store that has not welcomed a few customers since its opening. His low business ability and poverty level are even comparable to those of other emperors who run a flower shop but need it.

The officials took turns helping the twin sisters.

To be honest, although it's a bit rude, but with her slow temperament and her offline brain that is almost independent of the real space, she can survive until now without starving to death. I should say that Academy City's welfare system makes people feel energetic.

A shock?

"Normally there are no guests here -" Sylvia squinted her eyes while slowly sipping the coffee in her hand, "so it will be very quiet now -"

"Uh...really..."

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, while I agreed awkwardly. It is really a magical creature to be able to face the current situation of bleak business so calmly.

It's already a miracle that she can open a jewelry store like this.

"Ah! Speaking of which, are you students here too?" Sylvia blew into the cup gently, then raised her head curiously, "It doesn't seem like it."

"Oh, we work in a certain research institute," Lin Xue nodded, half-seriously, and asked strangely, "By the way, you must be a foreigner, right? Sylvia or something, this

Your name sounds British, but your face looks very Oriental, are you of mixed race?"

Sylvia shook her head slightly: "No, I don't know where I was born. It seems that I was an orphan adopted by Academy City a long time ago..."

The silver-haired woman spoke calmly, as if time could never act on her. Lin Xue and I immediately changed into a more comfortable sitting position: "To listen to Sylvia speak, you have to have a living mentality.

You won't be exhausted.

"I have been living here since a long time ago~~ I grew up in an orphanage, and it seems that I was adopted by a couple of researchers~~ But to be honest, I don't remember much about that...

...Because those memories have disappeared... It seems that I have had a tumor in my brain since I was very young. Although it is not fatal, it makes it difficult for me to remember things and concentrate...

It’s just frequent amnesia... and it took a long time to learn how to speak. Even if I learned it, I was still as clumsy as now. Although my parents are researchers, the tumor is very special, and even the equipment of the research institute cannot do anything about it. Then

...After my parents passed away, because they made great contributions to Academy City, I was taken care of by the council... You see, I am very clumsy. It is difficult for me to live alone. Although now

I'm trying to open a small shop, but it seems like I'm going to fail... By the way, do you want another drink?"

Sylvia said this with a peaceful smile, then stood up and took the coffee cup in front of me without waiting for a reply, but I was already used to her behavior.

"Then what? Is the tumor still there?"

Lin Xue asked with some concern, and I also pricked up my ears. If it was like Sylvia said, her frequent amnesia even reached the point where she didn’t even know where she lived yesterday, then she was completely

She is just a disabled person who cannot live alone! Although she has the care of Academy City's leadership, it is not easy for this girl to survive until now...

If it were a BT-level "life support chamber", it would definitely not be a problem to treat Sylvia's brain tumor.

But it seems that our concern is unnecessary. Sylvia smiled calmly and shook her head slowly: "There is no need to worry anymore... The science and technology in Academy City is developing very fast... A few months ago, because of my parents,

The research institute that has been taking care of me funded the treatment and allowed me to receive treatment, so the tumor and other things are gone... Although I still have no memory of the past time, I can only rely on those diaries and photos.

I guess it’s very disappointing, but things will gradually get better in the future…”

Really, then now you just habitually speak slowly—slowly, right?

I was drowsy because I was listening to this slow girl talking, but I still had the energy to complain. Sure enough, if I don’t complain, I will die. Is it because the virus has invaded my brain cells?

Everyone has a story. After listening to this ordinary and somewhat clumsy girl talk about her past, I suddenly came to this realization, and then - it was getting late.

"It's already this time. If I don't go back, my family will be worried."

Lin Xue glanced at the setting sun outside, drank the coffee in the cup and stood up.

"Thank you for your hospitality. We will come here often if we have the opportunity in the future."

Why has this girl never been so polite to me?

"Well, goodbye then -" Sylvia stood at the door of the store, smiling warmly at us, "I must come if you have the chance -"

"What a very interesting girl."

While waiting for the tram, Lin Xue suddenly sighed in a low voice, her slightly narrowed eyes reflecting the brilliant afterglow of the distant sunset.

"Although there is deep darkness, there seems to be a warm place in Academy City." I nodded, feeling inexplicably happy, "It's just that if I talk to that girl for a long time, it seems that I will soon...

Then I fell into a slow and weird state, and now when I speak, I have to scan the screen in my mind for a long time before the words come out."

Although saying this, there seems to be a quite peaceful atmosphere around Sylvia, as if it is the last piece of pure land with leisurely afternoon sunshine in this increasingly tense city, although it is only the second

Meeting for the first time can make people feel as relaxed as chatting with old friends after dinner. It is rare to see such people nowadays. It is precisely because of this that after just a short while, Lin Xue and I and Xi

Sylvia has become a friend.

"There are no people in the past..."

Lin Xue suddenly sat on the railing behind him, leaned his whole body back hard, stretched his muscles and bones with a balance control degree of difficulty coefficient 9.9, and lamented Sylvia's past time of constant amnesia.

"And, wood, you know what?"

Lin Xue opened her eyes, raised her right hand with the bracelet, and held it tightly against the setting sun.

"She has no future either..."

After a few seconds, I finally came to my senses.

"What?! Girl, you said she has no future?"

The Master Prophet waved his hand in this direction, with a look of contempt on his face: "The response is really slow, and the voice is quite loud."

"Ahem...you damn girl...you said you can't see Sylvia's future?"

"It's not that I can't see it," Lin Xue shook her head while continuing to study the bracelet on her hand, "For me, even in the invisible future, there should be chaos, but in that Sylvia

What I saw on my body was a blank, nothing, not even chaos."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Is there any difference between saying it earlier and saying it now?" Lin Xue curled her lips, "Is it possible to arrest him now and slice him up for study?"

"That's true," I nodded. There are too many strange people and strange things in this world. Although it is difficult to understand the existence of an existence that Lin Xue cannot see through, but... eh? Let's talk about a human being that even Lin Xue cannot see through.

, could she be the angel that the Cross Church is looking for?

But as soon as this idea came up, I rejected it myself - it seems that I have been a little nervous due to the hide-and-seek angel these days. Although that girl is a bit special, but my energy sensing ability

It is still impossible to go on a business trip. Sylvia does not have even a trace of abnormal energy fluctuations on her body. She is completely an ordinary human being. And creatures of the "angel" level, even if they pretend to be human beings, cannot live without it.

The energy fluctuates, which even I, who dares to call myself a master of the energy system, cannot do.

"He's a mysterious person again," I breathed out, "There are so many unknown things in this world."

"What's wrong, Mu Mu, suddenly the philosopher wakes up? Has he been transported through time?"

You don’t allow me to sigh about life, right? After all, the person in front of you is the head of the empire, does the head of state understand? He is three levels higher than you, the dog-headed military advisor who eats and eats, you bastard!

I just protested in my heart, and the tram I had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.

Due to the long distance, the sky had completely darkened by the time we returned to the institute. Viska, who had lost a lot of energy due to losing control of her mind during the previous rampage incident, was already lying on the dining room table and fast asleep. Originally, her sister was going to

I asked her to go back to the room to sleep first, but this girl insisted on waiting for me to come back, and ended up falling asleep at the table. To be honest, this kind of plot unfolding like a father returning home late and his daughter falling asleep because of exhaustion is really exciting

In tears...

Pandora, on the other hand, bit a lollipop and sat motionless next to Huesca, looking at her sister without blinking. After learning what happened, she almost didn't lead people directly to take "Absolutely"

All the people involved in the "Essence Person" project were slaughtered, and thanks to onee-sama's intervention in time, Academy City didn't shed a river of blood.

"Ajun! You are finally back!"

With such a cheer, Qian Qian flew into my arms like a light butterfly, gently hugging the soft body in my arms. I was deeply moved.

Are you so worried after just going out for a while? Silly girl, it’s not a dangerous place...

"Finally, it's time to eat! My sister said that we have to wait until you come back before we can eat..."

I put down my girlfriend in my arms and faced the sunset with tears streaming down my face.

"Leizi has gone back?"

I asked casually as I didn't find a certain vitality girl wandering around the research institute.

"Oh, I'm back. Come tomorrow to hold the medal ceremony."

Just as I was about to go to the dinner table, I froze in my steps, then turned my head, confused: "Awarding of honors? What is that?"

Qianqian pointed in the direction of Pandora: "I didn't know about this before, but Pandora told me that Leizi had been recognized by some of the emperor's people and had reached the standard of becoming a formal commander: withstanding

Basic commander training courses, possessing the strength of at least a junior commander, responding to the empire’s call to participate in an actual battle and leading soldiers to victory or completing missions, being recognized by the soldiers they lead and making certain contributions to the empire—these are the conditions.

Leizi has already met the requirements, especially since she actually led a group of soldiers to successfully fight against a leader-level officer. Such an achievement is considered an outstanding achievement even among the commanders of the Xiling Apostles - if it can be eliminated, then

If you want to cheat more, as for why Saten Ruiko should be made the registered commander, one is Pandora's suggestion from the perspective of "the imperial military power should not be leaked out", and the other is to protect her. The sudden mastery of this

Power is not necessarily a good thing for Ruizi. If she is classified as an imperial servant, it would be natural to launch a war in an emergency, right? Of course, it is impossible to give her military power... except when necessary.
