80. Dispute

"So, you still need the help of this device to maximize your spiritual strength?"

"Yes, they said it was because I was still young. When I grow up, I won't need this thing."

Aita took over the brainwave enhancement device he had just shown to Lao K and put it back on the operating table. It is a pair of small pieces, which are used on both sides of the forehead to help children increase their weak mental energy.

"Without this thing, I wouldn't be able to support it just halfway through. I'm still too weak." Aita lay on the operating table dejectedly, muttering.

Old K hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help asking: "Well... In fact, there are still many races with spiritual energy in the whole superuniverse. Have you ever communicated with any of them?"

Old K was very surprised by the careless acceptance that Aita showed after seeing him. In the end, he had to attribute all this to the fact that the child may have never met the same kind, so he was extremely lonely. But it's not reasonable to think about it carefully.

Aita is also the young master of Curit and has this special ability, and obviously the people around him don't know nothing about it, so how can he always have no companions? Even if he is a plaything, he should get some races that are good at mental energy control to relieve his boredom.

Aita hesitated for a moment before saying, "...that kind, I don't like it..."

Just say it! There must have been contact. But why don't you like it?

"Are they not strong enough?"

The child shook his head, and a sad look appeared on his face: "No. They are all strong and kind, and they think we invited them as guests. But in fact..."

Aita didn't go on, but old K read his idea that the creatures that were "invited" were sent as Aita's training partner. And the purpose of Aita's contact with them is not to communicate with them, but to defeat them. As for the so-called victory, it is nothing more than killing.

Old K suddenly wanted to reach out and touch Eta's head and tell him not to care, but he had no position to do so, so he could only keep silent.

"Let's not talk about this," the child raised his head and a smile quickly appeared on his face. "That day, they told me that there was a guy with the same spiritual energy among the recruits. Moreover, because you are a recruit, I don't have to worry that they will be bad for you. That's really great! But I can't find you right away. I'm still too young. It's the largest range allowed by them to go to the second floor. So I spent a lot of time copying this device and finally called you here!"

Old K heard something unexpected.

"Are you doing these your own ideas? Who didn't let you do this?"

The child shook his head and smiled: "They don't know I'm going to find you."

"Then you can contact me directly. Why do you use an attack that seems to be a tentative attack?"

Huh? Does that make you unhappy? Sorry... I don't know. I just want to see if you are as strong as they say. I heard that you have defeated Mengchen. I fought with it once and almost failed to escape. The child's face showed a frightened expression, and it seemed that the experience had a great impact on his mood.

"It's not unhappy..." But his plan seems to be overfulfilled and completely yellow.

"Can I still chat with you in the future? I think your manipulation of mental power is much better than mine. Can you teach me?

Aita's pale fish face is full of expectation, the corners of his mouth are bent, and his eyes are very bright. Old K hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"So, do you want to give up the task?" Even if it is a direct thinking communication, old K can hear that Puli's mood has become very bad after hearing his thoughts.

"Sorry..."

"This is not enough to say sorry! I'll wait for you at the back of the canteen tonight, and we'll make it clear to face!"

"...good."

It's very risky to meet Puli here in the middle of the night, but the situation now does not allow him to think of other ways. It is quite dangerous to use the exchange of ideas all the time, and there is a considerable possibility to be discovered. Because according to Aita, there is indeed a facility similar to thought wave monitoring, although it is mainly used to supervise the overall atmosphere in the barracks and prevent people from being destroyed due to some special circumstances.

It's just what to say after meeting. Old K didn't think clearly until he faced Puli.

"What the hell is going on?" The big mantis is more than two meters tall, and now he is simply sitting on his stomach, barely looking at Lao K and talking to Lao K.

Old K decided to tell the truth: "I saw Eita."

"So fast?!" It's a matter of time before I see Aita in the plan, but it's still quite unexpected to achieve the goal so quickly. "I'm only halfway through the plan here, and it won't be too late..."

Old K didn't care what Puli said. He took a long breath and continued: "He is still a child, and he is also a spiritual energy manipulator."

Puli's eyes suddenly widened: "What?!"

"Your information is too incomplete. That's a child who is just a little taller than my waist! And he is a spiritual energy manipulator. He knew that he came to me later. He wanted to be friends with me.

After saying that, Lao K felt very tired and sat on the ground regardless of Puli. This is a small open space behind the canteen, because few people usually come here, and in this era when garbage disposal is generally covered with underground pipes, it is still full of all kinds of waste. However, there is no domestic garbage, and the ground is still clean.

"You can't be friends with the mission goal. I thought you had such a quality." Puli lowered his head and looked straight at the top of old K's head, hoping that he could raise his head to give himself a clear answer.

"I fucking thought I had it! But that's a child! I can feel how simple his mind is! You will never understand the pure feeling. You can't directly touch the idea of touching him..." Old K simply lay down on his back. Anyway, even the patrols will not bypass this open space.

Puli was silent for a long time before breaking the silence again: "I can't understand it, but I know that if this mission fails, the military will definitely not give us a second chance. We will be completely passive, not to mention Gley Lang, or even the whole association... You know what the result will be."

Old K raised his arm to cover his eyes and said for a long time: "Fuck!"

Puli's tone became firm: "You must do it... We must do it... At this point, any reform may require bloodshed or even sacrifice."

Old K suddenly felt very irritable and sat up: "That's just a child! It's not good for you to sacrifice! Why sacrifice such a small child! Although the child has a military rank, he actually doesn't know anything! For him, the whole military department is just a city living in it! Why does the fight between adults cost such a young life?!"

Puli's expression was very serious: "It's not that we have to hurt a child, but this child is the key."

"Get out of your paralysis! No matter what, he is just a child! People who can kill children casually are fucking scum!" Old K was emotionally excited and didn't feel any pain at all when he hit the ground with his fist.

"So, don't you want to continue the task?"

Old K closed his eyes and said, "Yes! I can't do anything to such a small child!"

"Have you really figured it out?" Puli stood up and was more than two meters tall against Lao K, who was still sitting on the ground. He felt very oppressive. "No matter what your wishes are, our plan will not be changed. I will find a more suitable person."

Old K did not show weakness. He also stood up and looked up at Puli with a firm look: "Yes, I have figured it clearly. I definitely can't do this fucking task!"

"Well," Puli's mantis face became unable to see any emotion. "I hope you won't regret the decision at this moment in the future."

Looking at Puli's green figure disappearing beside the canteen building, Lao K looked up at the night sky again. The sky without stars and moon is still shrouded in thick clouds, which makes people feel particularly depressing.
