Hearing Xiaoya's words, Hangsha frowned and murmured in a low voice. There's no need to buy me that kind of thing - that's what he originally wanted to say.
But he was just silent for a moment before he saw Xiaoya's shining eyes.
"Ah, as for the cake, I actually want to eat it..."
Xiaoya clasped her hands together and closed one eye apologetically: "I really want to eat their luxurious durian cake - but I can't eat it by myself. It's too big! It's not good to waste things.
Now I can rely on the excuse of thanking Mr. Strangler to satisfy my craving. I am really grateful!
"Oh, by the way, speaking of... Mr. Strangler! Can you eat durian?"
"...Anything is fine."
Hangzhou was silent for a while and replied in a low voice.
"Is it okay to eat it, or do you like it?"
Xiaoya asked in turn.
When it comes to cake, her eyes seem to be shining: "If you don't like eating it, you don't have to eat it with me. Their strawberry ice cream cake is also a masterpiece. It is said that it uses real strawberries frozen into powder and then seasoned.
Then I made it back into the shape of a strawberry! Wow, I really wanted to eat it after seeing it in the video - but it would be too wasteful for me to buy it by myself -"
"…..Long-winded."
Hangzhou frowned, closed his eyes and whispered, "Just buy it. If you can't finish it, give me the rest."
He was already used to eating leftovers anyway.
As for cakes and stuff...
Maybe I still had some thoughts when I was a teenager, but now I no longer have such naive thoughts.
"Cake" can never represent happiness.
It does not represent anything, and all the beautiful meanings attached to it are just false echoes and self-fulfilling prophecies. It is like piety to the gods. It is not so much praying to God, but praying to God.
Pray for yourself.
But now that the strangled man thinks about it, he can only feel the pain.
But even so, he will not lose his temper.
If he had been bound by the way of "anger" before, he might have been angered by this... But now, he has been cut off from his past self. Now that he is rational, he can feel Xiaoya's kindness and tenderness.
Because of this, even if he wanted to vomit just thinking about the cake, he would never show it in front of her.
Strangler has such self-confidence - even if his body instinctively wants to vomit, his ability to control his body allows him to not even frown during the whole process. Not to mention eating cakes, eating durian... even if it is very serious.
If you want him to eat shit, Strangler will never waver, let alone show the slightest fear.
His pride is not something superficial.
"So, is it durian cake? Or strawberry cake? Or there are other styles, I remember some others, let me check..."
"Just strawberry."
Hangzhou closed his eyes and interrupted: "Just the strawberry cake."
This is definitely not the strawberry cake he bought back then, so he was slightly frightened by the name...
But he was a little annoyed by the noise, so he quickly asked her to leave.
I don't know why...she would make Strangler upset just by staying here. He felt as if he had lost the patience of a hunter, and his emotions could easily become out of control.
Probably because...
…because of what?
Strangler was stunned.
He subconsciously wanted to give meaning to his actions, but he couldn't even remember why he treated her differently.
"Okay, strawberry cake - I want to buy a large portion! It will definitely be enough for Mr. Strangler to eat!"
Xiaoya didn't sleep much last night, but she looks very energetic now: "I remember Mr. Strangler is here to find someone... I can leave some for Mr. Inferior! Although I don't know what happened to him, but
If something bad happens, just eat some cake!"
"...It's hard to say whether he is still alive or not."
despite himself
In my heart, I firmly believe that the bad guy must still be alive.
But for some reason, when Xiaoya so categorically believed that even the inferior ones were still alive, Hangzhou felt that he had to make a point to feel comfortable.
This behavior is not rational either.
Why am I like this...?
Hangzhou fell into confusion.
Could it be that I regard her as my protector, so when she puts forward a certain opinion, I want to seize the right to speak based on the leadership consciousness?
In other words, I actually look forward to the survival of the inferior in my heart, but I prefer to say pessimistic thoughts on my lips, hoping that she will refute me and establish the position I really want from another angle.
At the same time, lower your expectations to avoid frustration? Or...
Strangler kept a straight face and seriously conducted a psychoanalysis on himself.
Either one seems possible, but none of them seems completely right.
After waiting for Xiaoya to leave, the prosthetic doctor who was silently conducting nerve connections chuckled and said, "The heart may not be beating too fast, Mr. Strangler. You can relax a little."
"...I'm sorry. I'm just nervous."
"That's not the case...forget it, it doesn't matter."
The well-informed prosthetic doctor smiled and remained noncommittal.
He changed the topic lightly: "Actually, common sense... We generally recommend that amputation and prosthetic installation should be separated for a period of time. Because amputation will always damage the vitality, it is best to adjust it and come back when you are full of energy... This way
It’s less likely to develop cyberpsychosis.”
"I don't have time anymore."
Strangulation whispered: "I came here on a mission... I must regain my combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
"Mr. Strangler is such a good employee."
"Oh."
Strangler sneered: "I made a promise, sooner or later he will betray me...that boss."
When he was about to speak, he swallowed the name of the godfather again.
For some reason, he always didn't want others to know that he was serving the godfather.
"What did you say to your boss?"
"Yes."
Hangsha replied calmly: "Because I am destined to betray."
From the moment he was rescued by Tovatus, he decided that sooner or later he would repay that elf's favor.
And from the moment when the godfather and Tovatus confronted...Strangler knew that sooner or later he would betray the godfather severely.
But he had warned him - he had warned him many times.
But the prosthetic doctor's casual words made Strangler frown: "Can betrayal declared in advance really be considered betrayal?"
"As long as there is a consequence of betrayal, it is betrayal."
Hangzhou refuted without hesitation: "It has nothing to do with motivation, preparation, or process. Betrayal is a job that only needs to judge the final result... In front of the result, the stupidity, wit, kindness, and evil in the process and motivation have nothing to do with it.
significance."
"You are still a consequentialist."
"I always have been."
Hangsha closed his eyes: "Let's change the topic."
The prosthetic doctor who is good at talking is also very calm. "Back to the problem of prosthetics - performing the operation in two times will actually have its shortcomings. It is not just a matter of time delay. You must first adapt to the feeling of missing an arm, and then
Adapting to the feeling of growing arms at once will inevitably cause a physical imbalance in the two arms. Many tasks that require a high degree of coordination with both hands will take a long time to return to the previous state. About two and twenty-one days.
"And for Mr. Strangler, there is another thing that is difficult to adapt to. That is the weight. The lack of an arm will cause your body's center of gravity to shift... And if you get the prosthetic body back after a month,
Another offset will be carried out. This will seriously affect the balance. If you think about it, you only need to accept a cyberpsychosis risk of less than 3%, and you can save so much time... Isn't it also very cost-effective?"
"You really talk to people when you see them." Hangzhou said sarcastically.
"In order to make patients feel at ease, we work very hard. We hope to make patients believe in themselves.
My choice was not wrong, so I can only tell part of the truth."
The prosthetic doctor responded casually while inhaling the cognitive enhancer and making nerve connections.
He said softly: "Cost and cost-effectiveness, risks and results... How many choices are there in this world that are the only good? Aren't they all about choosing the lesser of two good things, and choosing the lesser of two evils? Since you can't choose the only good one."
option, at least it can make them less regretful."
"...You are really eloquent."
Hangzhou was silent for a while, and sighed in a low voice: "Are you aquatic creatures so good at talking?"
"Besides Xiaoya and I, has Mr. Strangler greeted any other aquatic creatures?"
"Well, I know two gentlemen whose spiritual relatives are whales. There is a 'baleen whale' on Happy Island, and I also met a 'baleen whale' when I first came here."
"...Strictly speaking, a round-headed whale is not entirely a whale."
"Um?"
Strangler remembered: "He did say, 'Sure enough, I look like a whale, right?' etc. He looked very proud of it."
"Because the round-headed whale...that is, the short-limbed pilot whale, is actually an animal of the Delphinidae family. It is a whale in a broad sense, because it is an animal of the Cetacean order. But it is not entirely a whale, because it is a member of the Delphinidae family.
.”
The prosthetic doctor said casually: "It just looks like a whale, is like a whale in size, and behaves like a whale. So people called it a round-headed whale."
"Let's put it this way... If there is a werewolf in this world, he is actually completely different from the humans that wolf spirits are related to. But he looks like a human, behaves like a human, and has the same social interactions as humans, then
Is he fully human?
"Some people think it is because they are consequentialists; but some people think it is not because they are essentialists. But in general, everyone can say that they are right. But they are not entirely correct."
"You are so careful with your roundabout talk. Are you so afraid of offending others?"
Strangler sneered: "If there really is a werewolf... he looks like a human, feels like a human, and kills like a human - then he is a human. I don't think he has so much, how can he be a meal?"
"So you are a consequentialist."
"I think most people are the same as me. How can there be so many philosophers who are full of food and discuss the essence..."
"Because just to survive, you need to do your best."
The prosthetic doctor sighed: "It's probably because of this that the legend of werewolves became so popular."
