Ark, they don't revolve around you

"Ok?"

"Do you think the Doctor has bewitched Texas?"

"This is not bewitching..."

"Of course this is deception. He made a soul that pursues freedom sink into his own order."

Arturo's eyes turned compassionate. "And you're still trying to resist this... Remuel, it seems like you really aren't suited to leave Lateran. You're an outlier nurtured in that fertile soil. Your good character can't tolerate the disasters you're bound to face."

The Lateran is heaven on earth.

There is no war, no disputes, and even no poverty. The notary office and the papal palace protect all citizens, and common sense avoids misunderstandings.

"Remuel, your childhood life was wonderful, right? You had a sister who loved you, your parents, and the senior you admired."

"Then, when you grew up, although you encountered a small accident, fortunately your sister survived."

"You came to Longmen, met some crazy and naive companions, and had a great man protecting you... Isn't this lucky?" Arturo listed everything with a smile, "But you are not suitable to go outside. The shadows lurking in those corners have swallowed up countless Laterans."

The Angel wanted to object, but couldn't speak.

She was stunned, but the girl stood up and put her hand on her chest, like a Leitanian noble: "Then allow me to play a song for you, breaking free from the shackles of hypocrisy, like a giant who has been freed."

The woman's bow was already on the string, and her fair white hands pulled it slightly, producing a beautiful sound.

……

……

then.

The sound flowed quietly and penetrated into every household.

It flows into the streets, into the churches, until it penetrates every pore and seeps into everyone's heart.

This is Arturo's playing.

……

……

Zhuang Ning also heard the beautiful music.

He was studying his own problems with magic, but suddenly he looked up with a serious expression.

"Are there any masters?"

With his sensitivity to magic, it was easy for him to tell that this music was a spell targeting the mind.

Under the ups and downs of notes and beats, the whole of Volsini seemed to be awakened.

"Arturo...she's here?"

Zhuang Ning muttered to himself. Due to the special nature of the spell, he still remembered the name.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to think about it. A white figure was approaching in front of him, with the tip of the weapon hanging on the ground, emitting fierce sparks.

Even a formal dress could not suppress the surging fighting spirit, as if the song had awakened the suppressed emotions.

Zhuang Ning sighed: "You are here."

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

I came anyway.

The other party didn't understand, so Zhuang Ning added this sentence in his mind and smiled, "Lappland, are you here to see me?"

"I must be crazy, doctor? When I heard that music, I only had one thought in my mind." Laplander looked dazed, "I want you to kill me."

This is the magic of Arturo's music. Once heard, rationality will be weakened, and true desires will be induced.

Lapland's wish still lingers on the rainy night in front of the two houses, the whimpering of drones, the shrill screams, and the gloomy people.

At that time, the lone wolf chose to kill Zhuang Ning out of confusion, but was defeated by Zhuang Ning's prepared counterattack.

Thought to be forgotten, Lappland revived again. He walked closer, as if begging, "Kill me, Doctor?"

Zhuang Ning was silent.

"You really don't want to fight? Then let me do it." Lappland laughed in a low voice and drew the blade in his hand. "If I want to kill you, you can definitely kill me!"

As if she had inhaled hallucinogenic drugs, she was full of fighting spirit.

There was a trace of disappointment in Zhuang Ning's eyes: "In the end, you still couldn't get over that night, Lapland."

"I won't kill you, you still have some use." He said coldly, "But I don't mind teaching you a lesson again, silly girl."

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife had already stabbed at him.

Lappland did not stay and attacked with all his strength. The slightly curved blade condensed light, cruel and violent.

When she enters a battle, she is always so focused.

However, Zhuang Ning saw the shadow of two years ago in it. In his eyes, that was also a very unforgettable night. On the rooftop of the building, hundreds of drones covered the sky, firmly blocking Lapland's retreat and exit.

Despite the difficult situation, the girl laughed happily, as if she saw her destined fate on this rooftop, so the only choice was to keep moving forward!

Don't defend, don't dodge, just let the rapid-fire gun's lasers and bullets spray down, let the explosion's light and fire burn your body!

In the deep darkness of the night, her sword pierced Zhuang Ning, just one step away from killing him.

——The past and the present overlap.

Now, the wolf leaped to his feet, blade gleaming, as graceful and deadly as it had been two years ago.

The sword was only a few inches away from Zhuang Ning's eyes, but one hand was tightly grasping the tip of the weapon.

The hand exerted a little force and continued to clench under Zhuang Ning's will!

There was a sound of breaking—the light that Lappland had cast with her magic was crushed to pieces!

But wisps of shadows rose from the ground and covered Zhuang Ning's face.

Under the flowing darkness, a hand gently touched Lappland's face, as if looking at a pet.

Zhuang Ning murmured quietly: "Has that been enough?"

The devilish man calmly placed his hand on Lappland's abdomen.

A tremendous force instantly penetrated her, and the lone wolf flew out and hit the puddle.

Lappland's vision was already blurry, but she was still smiling.

It was just like two years ago when he broke through the array built by the unmanned aerial vehicle regardless of casualties, and tried his best to cut the doctor's throat with the tip of the knife.

As a result, the seemingly powerless doctor dodged it, got close to Lappland's body, and punched him like rain.

Each punch was neither powerful nor fast, just hitting the vital points.

But it was enough for the seriously injured Lappland. She was punched and beaten continuously, her will was like a candle in the wind, and finally she fell down in a disgraceful manner.

Thinking of this, Lapland laughed even more wildly, and his hazy eyes were reflected in Zhuang Ning.

The doctor had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were as black as the night sky, showing no emotion, as if he was an evil spirit floating in the night.

It was exactly like Zhuang Ning at that time. Lapland stretched out her hand and murmured, "You won, can you kill me?"

"I just don't understand, why do I have to die?"

Zhuang Ning leaned over and hugged the girl, whispering in her ear: "You still owe me, Lapland."

Hearing these words, Laplander felt as if he had received an electric shock.

You owe me.

That's it, Lapland thought.

This man once hugged her tightly on a rainy night. In fact, he could kill her with just a flick of his fingertips, but in the end he didn't do it. He just said coldly: "You are a lunatic."

"But I can't kill you. You're still useful to me."

"You still owe me a lot... At least, you haven't paid me back for the medical expenses I spent on your treatment."

That memory is so old... Lappland's hands dropped, and his smile gradually changed from crazy to dead silent.

Why did it change like this? It was like a farce.

His head became heavy, and Lapland stared at Zhuang Ning. He didn't know when he came to his senses. The man named Zhuang Ning had learned to wrap indifference in his shell, as if that hug was his last tenderness. From then on, he would never try to influence the beasts in the wilderness again.

——Finally, Lapland woke up from the music.

It was like waking up from a nightmare.

Zhuang Ning loosened his embrace and asked in a low voice: "How do you feel?"

"Much better." Lappland shuddered slightly. "What a powerful magician. He can influence me with just the sound of music."

"How can someone who can influence an area not be powerful?" Zhuang Ning said.

When he heard the music, he vaguely thought of something and quietly ordered: "Lappland, can you bring me a musical instrument?"

"Ok?"

"The cello will be fine." Zhuang Ning was silent for a moment, "And the Originium... it's best to use the purest Originium after industrial refining."

Lappland's expression looked subtle for a moment.

Apart from Originium, Zhuang Ning is good in every aspect except his attainments in music which are a bit like burning books and burying scholars.

But since it was the Doctor's order, she would carry it out.

Seeing Lappland leave, Zhuang Ning did not contact anyone else and walked on the street looking around curiously.

All he heard was the sounds of crying, laughing, and beating.

Arturo's furious face emerged in his memory, probably two years ago, or even longer.

Under the magnificent church, she played the tune with all her heart, trying her best to shake Zhuang Ning's will, but was finally laughed at by Zhuang Ning.

"How dare you show up at this time... Can this be considered a coincidence?"

While he was thinking, he saw Lavinia.

The judge held the code in his arms and cried quietly, his tears falling to the ground, leaving a streak of red.

She wailed, roared, and felt extremely desperate. Finally, she picked up the dagger and pointed it at her throat. She was just one step away from losing her life in front of the court!
