Smelling the tempting aroma of the hamburgers, the two 'human bombs' showed eager expressions.
Emrys, moving as slowly as possible, handed a hamburger to the older child, and at the same time, took out fried chicken, fries, and two cups of ice-cold, bubbly cola from his personal space.
"This is delicious!"
He tried his best to sell the classic meal to the two 'human bombs'.
Then, the tempting aroma emanating from the hamburgers, fried chicken, fries, and cola stirred the appetites of the two children.
The older child seemed to let down his guard; in an instant, even Emrys couldn't clearly see him, but he took the 'meal' from his hand.
"Tear open the wrapper," Emrys, fearing they wouldn't know how to eat it, even thoughtfully demonstrated.
Under his demonstration, the two children learned how to eat these strange 'things'.
They tore open the wrapper, opened their mouths, and took a bite.
The soft, fragrant bun, foldering a patty full of sauce, exploded with a crispy texture in their mouths; the rich water mixed with various seasonings, all surged into their oral cavity.
After a half-second of stunned, the two began to gobble it down, vying with each other.
Seeing this scene, Emrys slightly breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He almost lost his life just now!
Praise the almighty KFC, praise the almighty McDonald's!
Relying on the hamburger, fried chicken, fries, and cola meal, Emrys initially escaped danger, at least not having to worry about being blown up into 'fireworks'.
But, the effect of this stuff seemed a bit too fierce, causing these two children to cling to him!
The good news is, the hamburger worked.
It seems that no matter the era, junk food has a great appeal to children.
Even an Alpha-level psyker, after tasting the series of meals from the 3K era—hamburgers, fried chicken, fries, and cola—also let down his guard against him, his eyes filled with 'stars', as if he regarded him as a god!
But the bad news is. These two children are completely stuck to him.
The most direct manifestation was that Emrys tried to sneak away, then blinked, and in a flash found himself back in his original position.
Clearly, these two had never tasted such 'delicious' things and were reluctant to let him leave.
But it wasn't entirely without benefits; at least Emrys found that he could have some simple communication with the two of them.
Delta-level psykers, although also considered in the high-risk category, at least possess simple thinking and communication, which is a blessing in misfortune.
However, the younger child, who remained in the inner circle, was clearly unable to communicate normally.
So, a helpless Emrys turned to communicate with the older child: "Do you have names?"
"What is a name?"
The older child looked bewildered, seemingly unable to understand the meaning of 'name'.
"Everyone has a 'name' to refer to themselves." Emrys pointed to himself, giving an example: "I, Merlin Emrys, this is my name. What about you?"
The older child understood the meaning, but shook his head and stammered: "No, know, we, no names."
But immediately after, the two of them cast an eager gaze at Emrys.
Emrys was a bit unnerved by their stare, fearing that if their emotions fluctuated, he would be 'returning to the Golden Throne'.
But luckily, nothing happened. The older child tugged at him and said with an expectant face: "Merlin, can we also be called Merlin?"
"No." As soon as the words left his mouth, Emrys saw that the 'Alpha' in the inner circle seemed a bit disappointed, and suddenly he felt both his temples throbbing wildly, as if the Star of Death was shining.
So, he quickly added: "Everyone's name should be unique, one of a kind. If you don't mind, I can give you names, okay?!"
The disappointed expression on 'Alpha's' face instantly turned into joy.
That was close, he walked on the edge of death again. After less than ten minutes of contact with these two, Emrys felt like he had almost died several times!
This job is just like 'coaxing children'.
The difference is that they are 'naughty children', and if he is even slightly careless, he might not see the Sun tomorrow.
Emrys comforted himself in his heart, isn't it just coaxing children? It's not like he hasn't done it before!
Then, he asked the older child in a gentle tone: "Do you know your gender? Like, man and woman."
These two were really too dirty, and so emaciated that it was almost impossible to determine their gender from their appearance.
"This, we know." The older child nodded: "We are women, we can have children. Do you want to have children?"
In the harsh environment of the Underhive, women are usually considered to have less value than men.
They do not possess the strength of males, so in the struggle for food, they easily fall into a disadvantage, and are then abducted to be used as reproductive tools.
This is a common occurrence in Roselle, so it is not hard to imagine what kind of experiences they have had.
Of course, anyone who tried to harm them has most likely been obliterated!
"You are the older sister, she is the younger sister." Emrys pondered for a moment and then thought of two names: "You are called 'Gabriel', and she is called 'Michael'. In my era, these are the names of two Angels, symbolizing light. Is that okay?"
"We have names!"
"I am Gabriel!"
"I am Michael!"
Clearly, both of them were very satisfied with their new names.
With names, Gabriel and Michael's trust in him seemed to have been elevated to another level, clearly showing a degree of dependence.
But Emrys was a bit worried. The current stable state doesn't mean it will remain stable.
What's more, there's chaos lurking outside. If those scoundrels were to discover an 'Alpha' here, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At least, Emrys would believe that Chaos would be kind enough to take in an 'Alpha'.
Regarding the attitude towards 'Alpha', Chaos tends to either kill it directly or use it as a 'human door-opening device'.
"Listen to me, don't get excited." Emrys was cautious, fearing he might provoke the two: "Now, there are some bad people outside. If they find you, you might be in danger, but don't worry, I will protect you."
"No, problem, they, can't, come in."
Gabriel said with a proud expression: "You are the only one who can find this place."
Emrys was a bit curious and asked: "Why do you say they can't come in?"
At this moment, Michael, who was in the inner circle, spoke. She looked at Emrys and said, word by word, seriously: "Because I don't want to."
Very good. Emrys was speechless.
It must be said that his answer was somewhat unexpected, yet also reasonable.
Alpha-level psykers can indeed, to some extent, directly twist reality and matter!
To put it in simpler terms, it's probably like having one's wishes come true?
So, now the problem arises.
How can he, now entangled with these two, extricate himself?
Looking at the two who, due to years of living in the Underhive, completely lacked common sense, a bold idea suddenly popped into Emrys' mind.
If he were to abduct this kid to other universes and educate her well, would it be possible in the future to gain two controllable great psykers?
