Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 819 No More Friends
[I have known her for almost ten years.

Even if you deliberately keep a distance from people around you, when your best friend mentions someone to you all day long, her image will become clearer in your mind even if you have never met her.

What's more, since they got married, I have come here as a guest quite often. I can't count how many times I have drunk the tea she made, and I have eaten dinner at their house countless times.

Although from the beginning, every time I came here, I had to go home before dark to avoid being left behind for dinner.

But after I had to stay at his house because of heavy rain, I rarely refused their dinner invitations after that.

Lao Zhang always praises her cooking skills. Anyone who hears Lao Zhang bragging about his wife's cooking skills would think it is too exaggerated if they have not tasted the food themselves. But as long as they are lucky enough to dine at her house, they will agree with any compliments she says.

What a virtuous woman she is. It is a blessing for Mr. Zhang to marry her. This kind of woman is very suitable for him.

Although I will not have a family, I have actually thought about it. I can be their child's godfather. When their child grows up, I can teach him how to camp and how to fight, just like a godfather would do to his godson. And I know I can teach him better than his biological father because I am much better than Lao Zhang.

But I never mentioned this to Lao Zhang.

Habits are really terrible things. They can melt people's vigilance, make people make mistakes that they know they shouldn't make, and finally make you suffer when you regret it.

Now, my retribution has come, every word of Sharia is my retribution.

"Is he dead?" Shaliya asked me.

I didn't say anything, but I think I nodded.

Three days was enough time for her to tell the secret to anyone, but she didn't.

Did she really love Lao Zhang so much that she was willing to sacrifice her life to respect his decision, or did she simply not realize how important this secret was?

No, she must have realized it. If she thought it was a trivial secret, she would not have been so calm after seeing me kill Lao Zhang. So she must have known that the secret could kill people.

So why didn't she say anything? Did she think that Lao Zhang was testing her? So she didn't dare to say anything?

But her eyes showed that she was not surprised at all by what happened. She knew very well that Lao Zhang would be killed, and she also knew very well that I would kill her. She simply accepted it all.

"Go ahead," she said. "I'm ready."

She was not nervous, nor did she look at me with the hatred she had for her enemy when she was about to sacrifice her life.

Her tone was as calm as if she were a family preparing to go on a trip, knowing that her husband had already left, and she had just packed her luggage and was rushing to catch up, as if what she had just said was: "Let's go, I've packed my luggage."

I didn't act immediately. I was vague about what I was thinking at the time, but I might have been thinking about whether or not to let Shariya go. Shariya had already proved that she would keep this heavy secret. Now that it had come to this, did I really have to kill her?
And their newborn child, that child... that child needs a mother.

“Brother Lin, just because I don’t say it now doesn’t mean I won’t say it in the future.

Just because I love him now doesn’t mean I will always love him in the future.

But at least now, I am willing to die for him.

For people of our time, death is not the end, everything will start over again, right? Then at least this time my life belongs completely to him. "

"Shalia, you've proven it."

When I said this, I felt that I was wrong, very wrong.

My defective brain began to imagine in great detail some beautiful pictures that shouldn't have existed. I could imagine in great detail that Lao Zhang, Shalia, and the families of other companions and I were living happily together, and everyone knew the secret of cyclical history, yet no one leaked it... Such an unrealistic future was vivid in my mind at this moment.

At the same time, I also clearly understand that this is impossible. Shariya is right. Just because she doesn't say it now doesn't mean she won't say it in the future.

When one person loves another, the love will last forever, but love is not as clear as death, nor is it eternal. Passionate and lasting love is just an illusion brought about by this kind of feeling in a short period of time. Perhaps at that time one is willing to die for the other person, but... that is only at that time.

The future in the oath does not exist in the present, and "I will love you forever" only means that I will love you forever now. As an optimist, I was the first to understand this truth, because there is never a shortage of breakup letters among the Leo army.

But at least now, at least now Shalia loves him so much.

"Move over here," I said, "at least until the kids grow up."

I have decided to let Shalia and the child live under my nose, and let Huangfu observe them more carefully to ensure that Shalia will not leak the secret. Once Shalia's leaked information appears in the reasoning notes, I will do what I didn't do today.

But I couldn't do it while Shalia was still in love with Lao Zhang.

I miss you so much, if it were you, what would you do?】

The woman with the scar on her nose finished reading this page and turned to the next page. The first sentence at the beginning was "Sharia is dead."

[Sharia is dead.

He died just after I left yesterday.

She cleaned the house very thoroughly and also cleaned up the bloodstains in the study. I heard from the neighbors who discovered them that after I left that evening, Shariya went to the market to buy vegetables and chatted and laughed with the familiar vendors, saying that she was going to hold a dinner party at home.

She invited all the neighbors nearby, but when they arrived, they found that the door was not closed, the table was full of dishes in the restaurant, but the house was eerily quiet.

They saw Shalia and Lao Zhang sleeping on the bed in the bedroom. It was said that the clothes worn by both of them were very formal and neat. The blood stains on Lao Zhang's body were cleaned up, his hair was combed neatly, and his beard was shaved cleanly.

A neighbor who came to visit saw a suicide note left by the couple at the bedside. The note said that Lao Zhang died while attempting a great splitting ritual, and Shalia decided to commit suicide for love after his death. Everything seemed so reasonable and the reasons were so sufficient.

No one suspected me, even though I was there with them that day.

Everyone, their friends and our friends, had heard Lao Zhang mention this dangerous ritual to them many times, jokingly saying that he wanted to try it.

I heard that he started talking about this topic with others half a year ago, but until he died, everyone thought he was joking.

However, while he certainly had no intention of performing a ceremony, he really wasn't joking either.

Half a year ago, that’s really early.

He had prepared the reasons for suicide half a year ago.

Half a year ago, before he even told the secret, was he already prepared to die in my hands today?

But when he saw me today, he hadn't even shaved and his hair was greasy.

Lao Zhang must have thought that I might not kill him.

...You guys, do you think you know me very well?

Lao Zhang, do you know?
We attended your funeral today, and Huangfu and I no longer have a friend. 】
