Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 221: Luo Lin's human shell has become more stable

Bernadette couldn't help laughing. This was not her first time attending a Roselle-related memorial exhibition, so she was not surprised by the toilet on display. But perhaps because Roselle, the person involved, was right next to her this time, Bernadette felt a little weird when she looked at the flush toilet.

However…looking at Russell, who was clearly feeling a bit suffocated and embarrassed by the flush toilet in front of him, Bernadette’s mood couldn’t help but improve. She couldn’t help but mutter, “Just like before.”

"What?" Although Bernadette's voice was low, Roselle had been paying attention to his precious daughter and naturally heard her words. He immediately asked, "What do you mean the same as before?"

"I mean, the feeling my father gives me now is just like it was a long time ago." Bernadette was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't expect Russell to hear it, she didn't hide anything and said openly:

"Dad, I haven't seen such human-like emotions on your face since..."

Russell was silent for a second after hearing this. He sighed, then suddenly raised his hand to rub Bernadette's head and said, "I'm sorry, Bernadette."

"Dad, you don't have to apologize to me, or..." Bernadette paused here, but still looked at Russell seriously and said, "It's not me you should apologize to."

Roselle really taught Bernadette well. Even though she loved her father deeply, Bernadette still chose to face up to the mistakes Roselle had made and would not ignore their existence just because she had finally reunited with her father.

Russell opened his mouth when he heard this, then sighed dejectedly, closed his eyes, and said, "Those are indeed the sins I committed."

Russell would not deny the evil he had done, nor would he deny the awful things he had done, regardless of whether he had been influenced by the Outer Gods. What he had done was done, and what was wrong was wrong.

Russell is a scumbag, but at least he dares to take responsibility for his actions.

Looking at Russell like this, Bernadette pursed her lips, becoming more and more certain of a certain suspicion in her heart. She couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what happened back then? Why did you suddenly become like that?"

"...Sorry, Bernadette, for your safety, I can't tell you this." Russell shook his head.

Any existence below the angel level that knew the relevant information about the Outer Gods would be contaminated, and Roselle would never take risks with Bernadette.

"Don't embarrass your father. As a secret peeper, you should know that there is knowledge in this world that can bring danger simply by knowing it."

Luo Lin also spoke at this time. He looked at Bernadette and smiled and said, "If you really want to know the truth, then work hard to become a sage!"

Bernadette's eyes flickered, and she clearly had thought of something. She bit her lower lip and looked at Russell and finally said, "So, the reason why you became so decadent and crazy in your later years, father, was because you were influenced by some power, right?"

Bernadette is not stupid. Even if she doesn't know the existence of Outer Gods, the information currently known is enough for her to guess.

In other words, deep down in her heart, Bernadette actually also longed for this kind of result. She was also a selfish person. Although she would not deny the sins that Russell had committed, rather than admitting that Russell was a big bastard, Bernadette obviously preferred to believe that what Russell did in his later years was influenced by other forces.

This is human nature, with selfishness and public-spiritedness intertwined, extremely complex.

When Russell heard this, his lips moved but he did not deny it.

Secretly, Russell naturally hoped that his daughter would have a better impression of him.

Even though Russell knew full well that even excluding the influence of the Outer Gods, He was essentially a bastard, Luo Lin quietly watched the scene, sighing inwardly, finding it amusing.

Bernadette, who has a very positive outlook on life, will also subconsciously find excuses for her father's evil. Roselle, who once treated the world as a game and was a scumbag in various aspects, still hopes to maintain a positive image in front of his daughter.

Their good and evil are real, and their selfishness is also real.

Human nature is indeed a very interesting thing.

Luo Lin felt that he had learned something new, and even his human shell had become more stable.

Well, it seems like I accidentally thought of something amazing, haha... Rowling blinked and was about to say something to ruin the atmosphere, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

The person who happened to be caught by Luo Lin also happened to look in Luo Lin's direction at this moment, and was stunned for a moment.

Klein didn't expect that he would run into someone he knew even though he was just visiting the Roselle Memorial Exhibition.

Of course, considering Mr. Lucifer's special attitude towards "travelers," Klein wasn't surprised to run into him at the Roselle Memorial Exhibition.

The only thing that made him hesitate was that Klein found that the person next to Mr. Lucifer seemed a little familiar.

Klein almost subconsciously recalled the portrait of Emperor Roselle that he had specially sought out and compared it with the people around Mr. Lucifer. Finally, he confirmed a fact—although the other party was disguised, it was most likely Emperor Roselle himself.

Of course, considering Mr. Lucifer's special abilities, it is more likely that this is the past Emperor Roselle who was summoned.

So wanna go over and say hello?
Klein was somewhat hesitant, yet also eager to try. After all, he had been following the serialization of Russell's diary since his "time travel" and was very curious about this formidable "time traveler."

But Klein was worried that Mr. Lucifer wouldn't welcome him, so for a moment he was unsure whether to go over and say hello.

Just as Klein was hesitating, little Amon, who had followed Klein out to the exhibition, didn't have so many concerns. He also saw Lucifer and trotted towards him without any hesitation.

"Uncle Lucifer, good morning!"

"Good morning, little Amon. Are you visiting the exhibition with Klein?" Rowling half-bent down to catch the little Amon who rushed towards him. He then reached out and rubbed the little Amon's furry head. He looked up at Klein and said with a smile, "Are you responsible for taking care of little Amon today?"

"Well, Medici seems to be busy, so it's my turn to take care of little Amon today." Klein, who had followed after little Amon pounced, nodded and said:
"I happened to have some tickets for the Roselle Memorial Exhibition. Since little Amon should know some modern history, I brought him here."

Rowling wasn't surprised to hear this. He naturally knew what Medici was busy with. As a hands-off boss, after reading the vampires' information and confirming that there were no talents he wanted, he lost most of his interest in them and directly handed Backlund's vampires over to Medici for management.

Anyway, the current mission of these vampires is to serve as battlefield doctors. As for the laboratory, they can just transfer people in after the laboratory is established.
