He Ao glanced at the boy and tilted his head, "Why do you want to learn this?"

"I want to protect my mother!"

The boy said softly.

At this time, slow footsteps came from behind the boy, and a woman covered in bruises and in ragged clothes staggered out from behind the door.

He Ao looked at the boy in front of him calmly, "If you want to protect your family, I can introduce you to a teacher and teach you things that can protect your family."

"Thanks,"

The boy immediately said happily, then he paused, glanced at the shacks on both sides of the shadow of the alley, and asked carefully, "Then can I teach these things to others?"

"Why?"

He Ao stared at him.

"I've met a lot of people,"

The boy hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "They all want to protect their families."

"If you want to protect a lot of people's families, then what you learned won't work."

He Ao said calmly.

"Then what will work?!"

The boy blinked and said, "You are so powerful, you must have a way."

He Ao looked at the little boy in front of him with a dumbfounded smile, "Don't give me a high hat."

The boy's face turned red when he was told that he was clever.

Then he heard Howe say softly, "That is a difficult road, and you will most likely die on that road."

"I'm not afraid,"

The boy immediately said, "I have been brave since I was a child!"

He Ao stared at the boy in front of him and stopped talking.

The boy thought he had said something wrong, so he carefully shrank his head and stared at the 'little god' in front of him.

"I can introduce you to the teacher first."

After a short silence, He Ao said softly.

"Thanks!"

Then the boy thought for a moment and took out a pendant from his arms. "I don't have money to pay for tuition. Can I give this to you? My mother bought it for me in the market. Although it's not worth much, it's worth it."

The boss who sold it to me said it might keep people safe, so it’s all I have.”

He Ao stared at the pendant in his hand.

It was a small crystal pendant hanging on a silver chain. In the middle of the pendant, there was a mini black and white weird smiling face mask.

"Although this mask looked a little scary when I first saw it,"

The boy looked at He Ao looking at the pendant in his hand, and whispered, "But after looking at it for a long time, it looks pretty good. The boss said that the more fierce the pendant is, the more useful it is. The boss said that this mask is similar to a mask named... called 'K

'It's related to people. As long as you believe in it, it will always bless you. I believe in it."

"Need not,"

He Ao shook his head and pushed the pendant back, "After all, whether the teacher I found for you wants you or not is another question."

"ah?"

The little boy was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "I worked very hard."

At this time, He Ao raised his eyes and glanced at Lena standing behind the boy.

In fact, Lena had been here a long time ago, but when she saw He Ao talking to the boy, she naturally started talking to the boy's mother.

"Want something to eat?"

He Ao lowered his head and looked at the boy's thin face.

"Actually, I'm not too hungry..."

The boy subconsciously refused.

Gululu—

The crisp sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis echoed in the shadowed corridor.

The boy blinked, and after a brief hesitation, he looked at He Ao, "Little god, can I lend you some money? When I have the ability, I will make money and pay it back to you."

He Ao glanced at him and nodded, "Okay."

Then he turned around and walked straight into the darkness.

The boy also turned around. He originally wanted to call his mother, but found that his mother was chatting with a beautiful red-haired elder sister, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and followed He Ao.

"Little god, you are so powerful, are you born with it?"

"no."

"Little God, how old are you? I'm ten years old. I feel like I'm almost as tall as you."

"······"

"Little god, could I be so powerful when I was your age?"

"It's hard."

"Little God, do you have any teachers you want to introduce to me? Can I learn mecha? You know, I saw a mecha the night before yesterday. It was buzzing, booming, booming, super cool!"

"Learning mecha requires a certain amount of talent."

"Ah, is there anything that doesn't require talent?"

"No, but hard work can make up for the lack of talent to a certain extent."

"I worked really hard! Little God, why do you talk so little? You are so cool."

"······"

······

Outside the simple fast food restaurant, He Ao and Lena stood together, watching the mother and son sitting in the store, trying to control their movements while eating.

"This lady's husband was a crew member of United Industries. He was attacked by a monster from the Sea of ​​Storms while mining and died. She did not ask for compensation."

Lena slowly recounted the 'information' she had just exchanged with the boy's mother,

"In the storm area, it was difficult for a widow with children to survive, so she chose to take her children to her cousin. Then her cousin defrauded them of all their money, along with her own wealth, and borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I donated a small amount of money to the Eternal Secret Cult and gained the opportunity to enter the Eternal Kingdom of God.

"They had no choice but to leave their original residence and wander here. Her cousin's wife and children wandered to another place."

Then she paused and continued, "This lady's skills and background are actually quite good. I am going to absorb her into my company. There are still some spare rooms in my secret base for them to stay in first."

"sorry to bother you."

He Ao nodded slightly, and the butterfly on his shoulder slowly spread its wings.

"This is a normal recruitment process."

Lena smiled.

······

After drinking and eating, Lena got into the off-road vehicle and prepared to send the mother and son to the secret base.

"Little god, won't you come with us?"

The boy poked his head out of the car window and looked at He Ao.

"I still have some things to do."

The cold sea breeze blew He Ao's hair.

"Little god, I am very brave."

The boy looked at He Ao's cheek and said suddenly.

"good."

He Ao nodded slightly.

The off-road vehicle started, and He Ao watched everyone leave.

Night has fallen, and the blood on his shoulders slowly spreads its wings.

The soul sleeping in the butterfly has awakened.

He Ao raised his hand gently, and an invisible realm opened in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a humanoid phantom condensed in front of him.

The moonlight shines on the dark sea, and the undulating waves beat against the gravel.
