Chapter 159 Mask—You must keep it fresh!
"Then...then..." Rosa looked at Bumblebee with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
"Will this affect the mission Optimus Prime gave you? Or..." Rosa looked at the ground guiltily, like a little animal that had done something wrong, her two index fingers lightly touching each other.
"Or it might affect the work of detaining prisoners..." Seeing Rosa now looking like a quail, her beautiful blue glasses filled with guilt about whether it would affect them, our dear Lieutenant Bumblebee finally softened.
He sighed softly, ultimately unable to stay angry with her; after all, she hadn't eaten anyone, had she?
“No… Rosa…” Bumblebee gently shook her head, continuing in a soft tone, “According to regulations, prison guards have the right to shoot escaped prisoners, but out of humanitarian considerations, we try our best to bring them back…”
As Bumblebee spoke, he thought that the guilt in Rosa's eyes was because she had shot the prisoner, but he did not expect that the reason for her guilt was whether it would affect them, rather than the life or death of the prisoner.
So when she heard that it wouldn't have any impact, her previous sad expression vanished completely, and she showed no trace of guilt whatsoever.
"That's good..." Rosa looked relaxed, let out a breath, and returned to her normal state.
"The criminal, Mask, resisted during his prison break and assaulted police officers. To prevent the situation from escalating further, he was shot dead on the spot." Rosa said, smiling and squinting her eyes, delivering the sentence in a monotone manner.
It was as if he were reading out an ordinary notice or regulation, his tone flat and without any extra inflection...
But she just killed Ji?
So, the guilt you felt just now wasn't for the Decepticons who were killed? Then what was it for?
Feeling guilty for causing them trouble in arresting prisoners? Is that more important than the life or death of a person?
Everyone stared blankly at Rosa, seemingly finally realizing that there was something wrong with her. To herself, she was someone who could be harmed or even abandoned at any time; to prisoners or Decepticons, she was trash who could be executed and discarded at any time, and she felt no remorse for killing anyone.
The only thing I don't want to do is cause trouble for my teammates and partners, and this is a higher priority than the two points mentioned above.
Because this just doesn't make sense. How could not causing trouble for teammates take precedence over killing the machine? More important than it? Shouldn't causing trouble be a minor matter, while killing the machine is a major matter?
Is this normal?
Everyone slowly turned their gaze to Bumblebee, who at this moment only wanted to take back what he had said, but he didn't know how to say it.
She seems to have cognitive impairment... He should correct Rosa, but... he doesn't want to see Rosa with that kind of expression.
After staring at Rosa for a long time, he finally decided to prioritize Rosa's happiness. He couldn't bear to see her disappointed expression, so he could only sigh and tell her to find a way to bury the prisoner, which could also be considered an "apology" for shooting Mask.
After all, if it really needs to be corrected, it should be done by a psychologist; if you don't understand these things yourself, it may not be effective even if you try to correct them.
Everyone thought the prisoner was surely dead, but Rosa knew he might still be alive. However, she wouldn't say anything. To keep him alive, she even gave him some of her stored energy.
Don't die so quickly! Tonight's midnight snack has to be fresh! I'll meet you with my tools in the middle of the night.
In short, she very carefully made a box out of a pile of wooden planks, wrapped him in a rag, put him in the box, and buried him.
Bumblebee watched as Rosa found a slightly elevated spot that wouldn't be easily discovered by Earthlings to bury Mask's "corpse," and buried it so carefully that it looked like she was earnestly "apologizing"... In the end, there was nothing Bumblebee could do about it.
"Sigh..." Bumblebee sighed. Sideswipe, seeing this scene, was a little curious as to why Bumblebee looked like this.
"Bumblebee...Was Rosa always like this before?" Sideswipe asked cautiously, watching Bumblebee sigh in Rosa's direction before turning around to answer his question.
“It has always been like this. We don’t know if she’s been through anything, and we’ve never asked…” He said, looking at Sideswipe, then at the ground, staring blankly for a few seconds before looking back at Rosa.
He had just received a message from Rosa on the inside, asking him to come over and take a look. He instinctively thought something was wrong, but then he realized something was amiss.
The setting sun, with its golden rays, shone brightly, standing out vividly in the desert...
The sun shone brightly, and the orange sunlight turned even the sand golden, as if we had arrived on a land of "gold." What once existed on this ancient land? Perhaps there really was a lot of gold there?
But there is also "gold" now. Even if it is only similar in color, doesn't the scenery illuminated by such a beautiful sunset shine just like gold?
After Rosa buried tonight's midnight snack in the deep pit and filled it in, she put her hands on her hips and looked at the beautiful scenery, her tail wagging behind her, seemingly in a very good mood.
"Rosa, what's wrong?....Oh my god..!" After Bumblebee managed to climb up, he saw a golden orange light rising on the horizon, illuminating the desert.
In that instant, the bumblebee suddenly gained a very profound understanding of the "golden land".
"Oh, sorry, I should have gone down and brought you up..." Rosa said a little embarrassedly, a slightly apologetic smile on her lips, as she reached out to pull the bumblebee, which had climbed up a bit, back up...
Just like when they were looking at the night view, Bumblebee also took Rosa's hand and climbed up with her to enjoy the beautiful scenery together.
The difference this time was that he didn't hesitate and firmly grasped it. He looked at Rosa bathed in the orange sunlight, and at her flawless body shining brightly in the sunlight.
She is glowing—
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?!” Rosa pulled Bumblebee up and turned to look at the beautiful scenery. She had always thought that sunsets were only beautiful on lakes or at sea, but she never expected to see such a view in the desert.
“Yes…” Bumblebee exclaimed, then turned his gaze to Rosa, who was looking at the beautiful scenery… even her profile was stunning.
But what's more important isn't the scenery, but the people you see it with.
“Let’s go and call them up!” Rosa suddenly turned around, spread her hands, and said happily to Bumblebee. Seeing Bumblebee nod slightly, she said, “Okay,” and then added another sentence.
"But wait a moment before calling them."
"Huh?" Rosa tilted her head, puzzled. Why did she have to watch it later? Wouldn't it be better to enjoy it together now?
The bumblebee clearly noticed her question, but simply turned its head to continue looking at the sunset in the desert.
"I want to... create more memories just for the two of us." Bumblebee scratched his head sheepishly, avoiding Rosa's gaze. Rosa was taken aback by his words and couldn't react for a moment.
"Memories that belong only to us..." Bumblebee glanced at Rosa and saw that Rosa's optics were wide open, and her eyes contained a loading symbol?
Even its mouth was slightly open, revealing cute little "tiger teeth," and the whole machine looked bewildered.
"Ro...Rosa?" Bumblebee was stunned by the sight and quickly called out to Rosa softly. Rosa reacted after being called, the loading symbol in her eyes finally disappeared, and then she gasped.
In an instant, the screen closed, and this time there was something different under those familiar bean-like eyes.
Like blushing, five thin lines are arranged together, appearing like a cute blush on the lower part of the eyes, near the outer part of the left and right sides, one below each eye.
When the screen closed, what Bumblebee saw for a moment was two hollow ovals representing emotional fluctuations, which then turned into two solid semi-circular ovals.
(〃0^0〃)
(〃?^?〃)
(〃。_。〃)
(〃?^?〃)
The originally complete ellipse was squeezed into a semicircle by the shape of the eyebrows on the screen, but the two suspicious red blushes on the cheeks of the screen were still there.
Her gaze shifted, looking at the sun, then back at the bumblebee for a fleeting glance before turning back again.
He seemed a little embarrassed.
Bumblebee's cooling fans were about to explode. Seeing Rosa's appearance, the temperature of his faceplate rose at an extremely fast speed. Even his beady little eyes were incredibly cute.
While couples outside are showing off their love, nobody or anyone seems to care about the one buried underground, the masked one who's still alive...
Mask: Is no one speaking up for me?
