Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

【I have said many times that if this little girl had been handed over to us earlier, we would have been able to get her out - and we would not be in the dilemma we are now. ]

Although she was still tied up, the words of the regicide were not polite at all: [It was your paranoia that made her suffer so much, don't you understand? 】

Two days have passed since the last contact with Crisis Contract.

Supplies were indeed found in the camp destroyed by the Kingslayer, and the original Ursus military vehicles were replaced with camouflaged vehicles - things seemed to be developing for the best.

But at this moment, Misha developed a high fever.

The cold wind and the ore disease in the body ravaged the girl's already fragile body, and even threatened the girl's life for a time. Although the medicines found in the camp suppressed the superficial symptoms, there was nothing that could be done about the oriosis.

Maybe there are still enough medical conditions in Rhode Island, but now - in this case, taking her on the road in a desperate situation will only lead to death, and the camp at least has privacy and a relatively good recuperation environment - even if it is only temporary.

【As long as you agree, my people can arrive within a day and take her to a safe place. Staying here now won't help anything, you……】

Levi gave the girl a cold look, making her words choke in her throat.

【Don't think that I don't understand you. Your own medical conditions are not much better than your current situation. If you take her away, who knows if she will become a victim to cover your retreat at a critical moment? 】

Levi's temper has become much worse in the past two days. This may be because of a rare situation that is beyond his control, or perhaps because he has indeed begun to treat this"mission" as more than just a task.

【Tsk, then just ask for your blessings, idiot! 】

The reason why Misha was not handed over to the woman in front of him was because the attitude shown by the woman named Lyudmila was that she did not regard Misha as an important person, but as a mission item. to treat.

Levi didn't dare to bet on whether the other party really took Misha's life seriously or just took her body seriously.

【Well……】

The sudden movement caused the two people who were arguing to turn their attention to Misha lying in the distance.

【snort! 】

Glanced the Kingslayer with a slightly threatening look, Levi did not dare to neglect, and quickly walked towards the girl who had just woken up and was still a little confused.

【Water...give me water……】

The high fever left the girl's body extremely dehydrated. Fortunately, the camp was set up in a very scientific location to ensure a clean water source. Levi picked up a can of freshly boiled water from the campfire next to the sleeping bag, mixed it with a little cold water, tasted the temperature, then poured the water in the can into a cup and handed it to Misha's lips.

The girl drank water quietly, and Levi took the opportunity to touch her forehead with the back of his hand, and then sighed inaudibly.

(High fever, still showing no signs of abating)……）

【……Brother Levi, am I going to die? 】

Asking such words suddenly, Misha’s eyes seemed to show a trace of freedom and ease.

【……To be honest, it's not very good. ]

After hesitating for a long time, or maybe he was just not good at lying, Levi did not choose to lie to Misha: [If you continue to burn like this, your own body functions will be unable to support it first - once the immune system collapses, it will be worse than Fenghan. The thing that spreads faster must be ori disease...and ori disease can only be contained, not cured.】

【It's already this time... I don't know how to comfort me. ] The girl smiled bitterly and shook her head: [However, it is probably destined by God. It seems that I will not be able to leave Siberia. 】

Levi frowned

【I hope you don't give up so quickly. After all, the superficial symptoms are better than before. Once the high fever subsides, your body will recover.……】

【——Just like that? Can it be cured?】

【——Can the symptoms before the infection be restored?】

【——Or is it a miracle and my mother can survive? 】

The girl’s unceremonious continuous questioning made Levi silent.

【Even if I go out, I will be alone. ] Misha's words were filled with a trace of despair: [Brother Levi, just leave me here. With your skills, it's not difficult at all to escape from here. Why bother taking me with you? ?】

【My mission is to take you out. I promised that I will never give up.——】

【——Mission mission, you know your mission!!! 】

Misha, who suddenly had an emotional outburst, seemed to have gained a lot of energy, staring at Levi and shouting

【——You told me to leave it alone, why don't you listen?】

【——If you had come earlier, mother would not have died! Now I'm the only one left, what's the point of living?!】

【——I was already prepared to accompany my mother, but you came here without authorization and told me to take me to Longmen!】

【——They have failed. I am obviously ready to wait for death, but you are here again!】

【——I was about to run out of that place, but I became like this again!】

【Since I am going to die sooner or later, why torture me! Wouldn't it be better to just let me die like this?! 】

The girl was crying and coughing. The pain and high fever were tormenting her fragile immune system. What was more terrible than the pain was her spirit, which was on the verge of collapse.

【……I won't let you die here. ]

Godless eyes glanced at Levi

【Haven't you always wanted to leave the Gulag? You've done it, and you're leaving Siberia soon - you're still young and deserve to have a better life instead of falling here. 】

Remembering what he often did when comforting that person in the past, Levi used the same technique and gently touched Misha's head:"As long as you reach Longmen, you will completely get rid of Ursus."】

【Aren't you afraid of being alone? Just for the sake of calling me big brother, are you willing to be my sister? I can adopt you and be your family——】

【——So, don't give up on yourself, okay? 】

Misha tried her best to open her eyes, as if she wanted to see a hint of hesitation and a hint of joking in the man's eyes.

But no, there was only persistence and sincerity in the man's eyes.

Her eyelids felt heavy for a while, and the intense sleepiness hit the helpless girl again along with the pain of high fever, but before darkness fell, she felt a pair of warm hands.

【Please... don't... leave me……】
