Time in a collapsing world

"Aponya, you stay here, and when the senior officials finish the meeting, they will interrogate you."

Sakura brought Aponya into a room. She looked at Aponya who was still immersed in self-blame and said this.

"Is this... an interrogation room?"

Aponya observed the environment here. There were chairs, tables, lamps, paper and pens. Apart from that, there were no other superfluous things. The simple room gave people a cold feeling.

"Yes, the future destination of serious criminals will be decided here." Sakura nodded. She did not treat Aponya as stingily as she did with other criminals. Maybe it was because she saw clearly that her nature was not bad. .

"Where is Qianjie? Where has he been taken now?" Since entering the Fire Chaser Moth's base, she and Qianjie have been separated, and Sakura only brought her to the interrogation room.

"He will be imprisoned in prison. After all, he is different from you. He is very dangerous." Sakura touched her left hand that had not yet recovered. If support did not arrive during that battle, she did not know whether she would be able to survive in the future. Withstand the attack of thousands of calamities.

"That's it..." Aponya seemed to recall the terrible way Qianjie vented his anger on her in the car, and his expression became even darker.

"Sakura, your name is Sakura, right?"

"Yes."

"Are all those children really dead? Not a single one alive?"

"...Aponia, sometimes not telling the truth is not a kind of deception." Sakura was silent for a while and said lightly.

"That's it...I understand."

Aponia closed her eyes, the result was already clear, wasn't it? The target of this organization is children infected with Honkai Disease, and in the orphanage, no children are healthy.

"Sakura, tell me, if I had not continued to adopt children infected with Honkai Disease, would today's disaster not have happened?"

At first Li also reminded her that she hoped she would stop adopting children infected with Honkai Disease, but although she had restrained herself a lot, she did not stop completely. It was just that the adoption rate slowed down.

Now it seems that if she had listened to Li's advice, would her current fate have changed?

"I don't know, and I can't give you the answer, but I know there are no ifs in the world, and such assumptions are meaningless." Sakura shook her head.

"Really...?" Aponya was not disappointed. Even she didn't know what kind of mentality she was asking such a question.

"Hi~? What are you talking about?"

But at this moment, a lively and enthusiastic voice came, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"You actually didn't ask me to come here and have a private chat...Sakura, I'm so sad~?"

"Alicia, we are not chatting in private, and there is no need to call you." Sakura looked at a pink-haired girl walking slowly towards them, her voice not fluctuating much.

"How can you say that? Sakura, if you are so heartless, you will lose my best friend~?" Alicia had a wronged face, looking like she was about to cry.

"Best friends? We haven't met many times, not even ten times."

"That's not important. What's important is that I have indeed regarded you as my best friend, right when we first met~?" Alicia saw that Sakura was not moved by her pitiful look at all. His original sweet smile returned.

"...Your best friend was born really cheaply." Sakura said speechlessly.

"Are you...Miss Alicia?"

Aponya looked at this familiar girl in surprise. She did not expect that this girl who knew Li was actually a member of this organization.

"Yeah~ It's indeed Aponya~ I just learned from others that a beautiful girl from Aponiya was captured. I thought she just had the same name, but I didn't expect it to be her~?" Alicia clapped her hands. , looking very surprised.

"Really, to lock such a cute girl here, some people are really ungentlemanly~?"

After that, Alicia took one of Aponya's hands and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to get familiar with the environment of Fire Chaser. I believe you will like it here~?"

"Alicia, she is a serious criminal. You can't lead her around without orders." Sakura stretched out her hand to stop Alicia, stopping her lawless thoughts.

"Sakura, don't be so harsh~ You don't want to see such a beautiful girl locked up in this cold room, right?" Alicia blinked at Sakura, hoping she would be accommodating.

"Sorry, the rules are the rules." Sakura closed her eyes, completely shielding Alicia's face from the outside.

"Hmm..." Alicia's eyes moved back and forth between Aponya and Sakura. Suddenly, as if she understood something, she tapped her palm, "Sakura, you don't know yet, do you?"

"what?"

"Aponya and Riko know each other~?"

"..."

Sakura's body stiffened.

"And they're not just acquaintances, they're family members living in the same place~?" Alicia noticed Sakura's abnormality and continued.

No wonder these two people look unfamiliar, it turns out they don’t know about this yet~ They both know Li clearly, but they have never met? Wow~ Li really has the potential to become a scumbag~?

"……family?"

Sakura looked at Aponya in disbelief, and Aponiya also looked at her with slightly widened eyes.

"Sakura, do you and Li know each other?" Aponya asked in surprise.

"...I'll excuse you now." Sakura didn't answer, but her evasive attitude already explained the problem.

"Oops~ It seems I said something wrong..." Looking at Sakura's back as she left in a panic, Alicia frowned in embarrassment, "What a pity. I originally wanted the three of us to talk together. , well... I have to wait for the next opportunity~?"

"..."

"Aponya, although I don't know what happened between you, Sakura is a kind and good girl. If possible, I hope you won't blame her too much. After all, she is also acting under orders~?" Ellie Shia tried to put in a good word for Sakura.

"Ah...I'm not saying that the organization Fire Chasing Moth is not good. In my opinion, everything the people in this organization do is to continue civilization, but some of their methods cannot be understood by outsiders."

"Well, I know, I didn't blame her, and I have no right to blame her. After all, I am the biggest sinner in this incident." Aponya clasped his hands together and once again entered a posture of repentance.

"Sinner? My dear Aponya, you can't say that about yourself~?" Alicia suddenly took a step forward, pressed tightly in front of Aponiya, grabbed her hands, and used a pair of crystal clear hands to His crystal eyes looked at her sincerely.
