In fact, I've always had to admit that my voice is a little different when I speak Mandarin, my native dialect, and when I speak English or Japanese.

The difference isn't that big, it's just that my voice is more casual when I speak Mandarin, but when I speak English, my voice will be slightly higher, clearer, and softer.

Why?

If I said "What kind of idiot is this?" or "What the hell is wrong with you?" in America, wouldn't I be beaten to death?

It's fine to be softer. Don't you know that when people pick up the phone, they will subconsciously show all eight of their teeth? Even if the other party can't see, they will try to be as gentle as possible with a "hello"?

Survival skills, don't think too much about it.

I ignored Sakaski's speechless gaze and continued: "My vocabulary is already rich enough. If possible, I don't want to see another English word in my life.

It's 7: 30 at night, I'm going to sleep first. There will be an alarm at 12 to wake me up for the night watch.

Have a good rest, Mr. Sakaski. Oh, right, please say goodnight to me. "

I put on a fake smile, showing all eight of my teeth. I felt like I was doing customer service: "Daily Quest, help me out.

Goodnight, Sakaski. "

"… Goodnight, Qiu Hua."

Daily Quest, 4/5.

I nodded. Before I went to sleep, I took off my down jacket, then took off my V-neck singlet and folded it to the side. Then I put the down jacket on upside down.

After I finished preparing, I saw Sakaski deliberately turn his face away. I thought for a while and regretted that I didn't wear a tank top under my shirt today.

I didn't want to seduce him or anything, I just wanted to sleep with a down jacket. Tomorrow when I woke up, I would have to put on some clothes to warm up my body. After taking off my shirt, I only had a bra underneath, so I was a bit embarrassed.

I half leaned against the stone wall and grabbed the hair band that was tying my hair. I loosened my hair and used my bag as a pillow to rest under my neck.

Today, I was also very tired. My hands were still sore from the weapon forging. The moment I closed my eyes, I felt sleepy.

Ah, good night, Sakaski.

I curled up into a ball and tried my best to bury myself under my thin down jacket. My gloves were inside my sleeves, and my head rested on the bag. It seemed like I fell asleep within two seconds.

I slept so soundly that when my phone started to play the background music of FF14, I immediately jumped up and almost shouted, "You're so strong!"

"My apologies."

I turned off the alarm, my eyelids still glued to my lower eyelids.

He rudely rubbed his eyes and finally felt that he could open his eyes and see the world.

Glancing at the time on my watch, I got up, pulled my vest back on, and put my jacket back on.

I looked at Sakaski, who seemed to have a deep grudge. I felt like the lava she used to warm herself before sleeping had been replaced with a bigger one.

Carefully putting my phone aside, I looked at Sakaski. I reached my hand over the lava and heard his voice.

"What do you want to say?"

"The system will have a maintenance session from 2 am to 1 am. A8 said that during this period of time, other than my translation ability disappearing, he won't appear either."

I glanced at Sakaski and smirked. He should understand what I meant.

"So, now …"

"12: 05 am. I specially set the time. The phone showed me that it was indeed under maintenance. Even if I took a rock, it wouldn't turn it into food. It didn't lie to me.

Using this time to change shifts isn't anything special. Although A8 seems to be easy to talk to, if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't think of anything, it would be hard to deceive me. "

"So, this is the reason why you were so honest with me?"

"I can't trust a mysterious power that threw me here. You should put yourself in my shoes and think about it."

Yes, I didn't trust A8. I didn't believe that a system that threw us over would have the face to 'help' us.

Of course, if it cleared its suspicions, I wouldn't mind trusting it.

To be honest, it was mainly because it threatened me in the beginning. If it hadn't threatened me, I would have communicated and cooperated with it.

After all, I was amenable to coaxing but not coercion.

"So, I deliberately left a mission undone."

My hand was already above the lava. I stared at the flickering flames and said, "It said that if I didn't complete the mission, I would be responsible for the consequences. If I said I would be responsible, then I would be responsible. If I wanted to die, then I would die.

Then, it changed its method and told me that the punishment might not fall on me. "

"It would fall on your companions."

"That's right. If I resisted passively, the punishment would fall on my companions who also cried and wanted to go home … Cough cough, I don't know if they were Ou Fei's companions.

But, I deliberately left a mission that I felt I couldn't complete, so it wasn't passively resisting. "

"You used yourself as an experiment?"

"Of course. I can't possibly drag you down, right?"

I turned to look at him in surprise. I felt that Comrade Sakaski's awareness was a little too high.

"What kind of person am I in your heart? You have to know that the food I converted with my 'ability' was eaten by me first to make sure there was no problem before I gave it to you. Don't think of me as a bad person, okay?"

I laughed at the end. Looking at the warm lava in front of me, I felt like I was laughing so hard that my eyes narrowed. "I am a very boring person and a very talkative person.

There was once such a classification of camps: Neutral, Good, Evil, Order, Chaos, and the Mean.

Every time I take a test, I'm either neutral or absolutely neutral. Being neutral is an instinct for me and not a standard for judging others. "

"Then, you trust me that much?"

"Because you are in the Navy."

I retracted my hand. Looking at how he was still blocking the wind for me, I sighed. I stood up and sat on the other side of him. Feeling the cool wind that wasn't cold, I put on the hood of my down jacket. "You should know that I come from a different world, right?"

"Mm."

"In my world, there is a type of person who is the most adorable person."

In my heart, soldiers were the most adorable people, no matter where they were.

"Soldiers."

I turned to look at him with a smile. Soon, I looked at the wall in front of me again. "Who is the most adorable person? It was written by Wei Wei.

The most adorable person is a soldier. That's it. "

"I don't care which world you are from, and I don't care what your nature is. The moment I saw that I was a 'soldier,' you should have felt it."

I am relaxed, at ease, and trustworthy.

That's why I am honest with you. I don't have any other thoughts.

"Aren't you afraid that I am an exception?"

"You are not."

I reached out to feel the temperature outside and retracted my hand. I said 'you are not' firmly and matter-of-factly. "I am a person who likes to chat. Chinese only. English chat can go to hell.

I have chatted with you in English for so long. You can unilaterally believe that you are my true love. "

"…"

"Cough cough … Also, it's not only the articles that make me think that soldiers are the most adorable people.

Sakaski, I had a very unpleasant childhood. Very, very unpleasant. "

He was listening to me. I glanced at the time on my watch and realized that there was still some free time. I moved closer to him. I was worried that his wound would not touch him.

But he probably stiffened because of my previous words of 'true love,' but he soon relaxed.

"I don't want to recall that time. Now … when I was ten?

Anyway, there was a 'military training' when I was in the fifth grade.

A group of ten year old brats were pulled into the military camp and had to live like a soldier for five days. "

"I was very happy during those five days.

Because there, I would be praised as long as I did my best. I would be praised as long as I stood tall and straight in a military posture.

The instructor taught us how to fold the quilt. No one was willing to demonstrate except for me because I wanted to know how well I folded it.

The instructor praised me for being brave and willing to stand up. At the same time, he criticized me for a few places where I didn't fold the quilt properly. He helped me tidy it up again.

For the next five days, we had to fold the quilt every day. The girls in the same dorm as me would come to me and ask me if I folded it properly because the instructor would deduct their points if I didn't. "

For those five days, I seemed to have become the most popular person. It was also as if they had never bullied me before.

"It was a wonderful five days. But on the last day, when it was time for the inspection, I …"

I stopped and didn't continue. When I met Sakaski's eyes, he looked at me. His gaze was so calm that it made me feel at ease.

"You're seriously injured, but it's impossible for you to be eaten like a bamboo rat. Everything will be over once you're injured.

Rest well. I'll keep watch for the rest of the night. "

I stopped the conversation and gestured to him with my weapon in my hand.

12:45。

"Just call me if anything happens. It's not as serious as you think."

"But Sakaski, you need to rest more than I do."

I glanced at the phone I threw aside. "Help me pass my phone to me. I need to carry this thing with me."

"…"

Sakaski reached out and threw the phone to me. I took my phone and saw him throw my bag to me.

"Huh?"

"Move a little further in. Hold onto the bag and block the wind."

He must have known that I had decided to take root here. Thus, he created two more pieces of lava and pushed them a little further away from me. At the same time, he moved a little closer to me. I could feel that the wind had turned warm all of a sudden.

What a nice guy.

I silently gave Sakaski a nice guy card. Then, I opened my eyes and waited for one o 'clock to arrive.

The pointer pointed to one o 'clock. Nothing happened.

A message popped up on the phone. It was probably because the system had completed maintenance. A8 didn't appear either.

Keeping watch at night was quite boring. I opened up my writing software and started to write today's events in my diary. Writing made me forget the passage of time easily. Plus, the wind was warm, which made me feel at ease all of a sudden …

The feeling of comfort disappeared in an instant. Suddenly, I felt as if my neck was being strangled. I struggled to press the save button to open the message. My right hand covered my chest and rubbed it a few times. Bit by bit, I felt my way up to my throat.

I tried my best to raise my left hand so that I could see the time and the message on the phone.

[As the host didn't complete all the daily missions for the day, punishment mode has been activated.]

[Suffocation for one hour.

Countdown begins.]

【59:59】

Dawn, 2: 15 am. Punishment duration lasts for one hour.

The punishment for not completing the mission is here.

I put down the phone and pressed my right hand on my throat above my collarbone. I opened my mouth and breathed. It was so ugly that I looked like a fish that had jumped onto the shore.

I breathed heavily, but I still felt like there was no oxygen entering my lungs. Suffocation, pain, and a sense of despair appeared in me again, just like in the past.

It was too familiar. I hadn't experienced it in a long time.

However, this feeling still remained in my body's memory. It made me shiver.

I felt like I let out one or two weak cries. It also sounded like I was snoring because I breathed too hard.

At this moment, the warm wind seemed to have become a shackle around my throat. I couldn't really stand up. It was as if I was trying to crawl out of this place that was starting to warm up.

"Qiu Hua?"

There was no medicine. There was no way to use medicine.

It had been ten years, ten whole years, since I had experienced such a feeling.

My right hand continued to press on my collarbone. Even though I hadn't experienced it for ten years, I still found a way to make myself feel better.

I waved my hand at Sakaski to tell him that I was fine. I turned to the entrance of the cave and crawled on my hands like the ugliest creature. I circled around the lava and breathed with difficulty.

This wasn't an illness. I wasn't sick.

This was punishment.

The moment I felt the coolness at the tip of my nose, I could finally feel the cool air entering my lungs. It was so comfortable that I almost went limp.

However, after a few seconds, I felt the suffocating feeling again.

Ah, it had been ten years. I shouldn't have told Sakaski.

I had no energy left. Let's just do it here.

I held the bag in my hand. I stuffed it around my waist and leaned against the wall. My face was pressed against the cold and rough surface of the cave and I closed my eyes.

My hand pressed on my chest and moved down bit by bit. It was as if I was trying to?

Suppress Chengye Muba?

Lie???

Chu Mi Yaohao Jiao Jiao Lü Ji

Just like he did every time he fell sick ten years ago.

The choking feeling in my throat and the suffocating feeling in my brain didn't disappear. However, I knew that I could breathe. I could also take in the oxygen that I needed to survive.

It was only an hour. It would be over by 3: 15.

I lowered my head and closed my eyes. The A8 wasn't always there. Furthermore, I didn't care if it was there or not.

I breathed heavily, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and continued.

Heh, this was the punishment?

Suffocation?

It wasn't worth mentioning. It wasn't worth mentioning at all.

I smiled disdainfully in the cold wind. I raised my head and looked across with my chin. For a moment, I felt as proud as an empress.

That's it?

That's it?

I used to gasp for air the entire night, vainly trying to grasp the slightest chance of survival in the air.

For five hours, I struggled in agony with the huge IV drip filled with liquid.

The suffocating feeling had accompanied me as I grew up. However, it wasn't something that I was afraid of.
