I am Lapland’s rat!

There is a somewhat old bench here. The trees are a little neglected because they are close to a place where they will not be inspected. The children who are playing in the center of the square rarely pay attention to this place.

At this time, Lapland suddenly smiled and said:

"Dear Ms. Seria, I can see that you are a very rule-abiding person."

"Huh?" Ceria was still thinking about how to stir up the topic. When she heard Lapland commenting on her, she couldn't help but responded in confusion.

She looked at Lapland, who was also looking at her. This girl, who was shorter than her, had a side face covered with the glow of the setting sun:

"Are you confused by what I've done?"

Lapland raised his lips:

"If so, then I have to say that you are right, I am the kind of person who will harm public interests and social order for my own benefit."

Ceria opened her eyes slightly.

She really didn't expect Lapland to confess like this at this time.

Would an ordinary selfish person who undermines order say what he has done in such a tone?

Before she could reply, Lapland looked into Seria's eyes with a smile:

"If you ask me, it's strange for a rigid person like you. If something can become better with just a little manipulation, why should you put shackles on yourself?"

Ceria looked at Lapland in front of her and felt a little overwhelmed.

But at the same time, a kind of anger arose in her heart:

Lapland was denying her persistence, denying her dignity.

Lapland said it was all pointless.

It was precisely because the person in front of her was Lapland who had used many unconventional means to achieve better results than she had imagined, so the emotion of anger appeared in Seria's heart.

Because she let her shake.

In order to curb this wavering, Ceria said solemnly: "No, these are not shackles, but stairs."

"From a social perspective, in the history of evolution, human ancestors have been in ignorance and barbarism for a long time. Civilization is the product of order, so if there are no rules and order, people cannot be called human beings. ! If everyone can keep order, Terra will definitely become better."

"From a personal point of view, following social guidance is also an inevitable path. In a civilized society, everything has an inertia towards orderly development, so the results of temporary opportunism are only temporary after all. Think about it. To move forward, you must be down-to-earth every step of the way.”

"Haha." Lapland laughed.

"To be honest, I think your theory is very interesting."

Ceria frowned.

"interesting"?She didn't say this just to hear this kind of comment!

Just as Seria was about to say something, Lapland looked at Seria with curious eyes:

"Ms. Ceria, have you been such a person since you were a child?"

Seria was startled.

She thought for a while and said firmly: "...When I first became sensible, I didn't have such a deep understanding of these principles. But as I experience more things, I can feel the weight of the laws more and more."

"We Vaifan once had a dark and ignorant time. In that era, everyone was immersed in barbarism and violence."

"Therefore, every Waifan people cherish the hard-won order."

Lapland blinked and replied: "I heard that many places in the Waifan Alliance are still poor and backward."

"Absolutely." Ceria nodded and replied, "But I grew up in Colombia, and I only visited the hometown mentioned by my father once during college with a scientific expedition team."

Chapter 115: Dad’s Past

Having said this, Ceria thought for a moment, then looked at Lapland and said:

"I know Colombia better. Colombia itself is a country that advocates the rule of law, and order is the mainstream here."

"I have generally heard about the situation in Syracuse. The gangs there seem to be very rampant. You are from there. Perhaps it is because the Syracuse gangs have forced you to live a normal life that you have such deviant thoughts..."

"No, you are wrong."

LaPland said.

Seria was startled and looked at Lapland.

"I'm what you call a 'gangster.'"

Under Seria's gaze, Lapland blinked and said seriously:

"In your words, I am the heir to one of the most powerful gangs in the country in Syracuse."

Saria: "?"

Ceria looked at Lapland with a "Huh?" look.

I saw a white wolf spreading its hands in the dusk and saying:

"Ma'am, I also know the laws of Colombia very well. If what I have done were done in Colombia, I would probably be sentenced to more than 1000 years in prison."

"I've probably killed more people than you've experimented on, that's just the way it is."

Saria: "..."

Seria was silent for a long time, and with a livid face, she suppressed a sentence: "I remember that the application for several important licenses of the security company requires the shareholder to have no criminal record."

"Yes, ma'am, that's not a crime in Syracuse."

Lapland chuckled, and there was a hint of emotion in his smile that Ceria couldn't understand.

Ceria looked at Lapland.

At this moment, she finally understood what kind of person was standing in front of her.

She was surprised, angry, and most of all... she felt powerless.

Yes, what can she do?

She finally understood why Lapland was such a rule-breaker, because she was not an ordinary rebellious girl, she was born on the dark side of order!

Lapland admitted in front of Seria that she was the kind of person that Seria hated the most!

But what can Ceria do?

She has admitted that she may not be as good as Lapland in the achievement exhibition!

"...Why are you telling me this?"

Ceria felt her heartbeat begin to speed up a little, and she said in a deep voice: "Are you going to laugh at me?"

"Do not."

Lapland blinked and said very sincerely:

"I just told you my past, now it's your turn, handsome Ms. Ceria."

"...?"

In the corner of the square, the light of the setting sun has shifted slightly.

Seria looked at Lapland in front of her, and suddenly began to be confused about Lapland's intentions.

No, from the beginning, she had no idea what Lapland wanted to do.

She had come into contact with people whose thoughts were hard to see clearly, but even Muir Seth when they first met was not like the Lapland in front of her. Her intentions were incomprehensible no matter what.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ceria said: "I'm just an ordinary person."

"My life is nothing special. Just like most Colombians, I went through elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university. I got a degree and entered a company."

Hearing this, Lapland asked doubtfully: "So you just said that you understand the value of order more and more as time goes by. Does this mean that you have followed the rules so far?"

"……Do not."

This is the only thing that cannot be compromised. Ceria said in a deep voice: "At least in Colombia, adhering to the universal social order is the only correct choice."

"..."

Finding Lapland looking at her curiously, Ceria sighed, hesitated for a while, and then said:

"...Well, I can tell you a few things that impressed me deeply."

She paused:

"...When I was in high school, I liked boxing. Although it is a violent sport, it also has clear scoring rules and restrictive rules. When you actually enter the stage, you have to think more about how to knock out the opponent. What’s more important is how to use tactics to score points.”

Seria still spoke out a past incident in her heart.

Obviously, past experiences shape people, and no one becomes what they are today without any reason.

The weight of a belief means the weight of a memory.

"At that time, my level was pretty good, and I was also a starting player in the school team. I represented the school in youth championships and school leagues every year."

"At that time, I also had a good friend who was also from Waifan. The two of us often worked together to win good results for the school in competitions."

"During the summer semester of my sophomore year, as usual, we started practicing extra for the upcoming championships. That's when I noticed that her boxing seemed to be getting worse."

"This seems to be reasonable, because she is not focused. She likes shopping, singing, and hanging out with the boys in the class. She does not go to the boxing gym every day like other club members."

"However, considering that her results were good in previous years, the coach did not remove her from the list and allowed younger students with greater room for improvement to join the team preparing for the competition."

"This seems normal, after all, older players perform more stably. Therefore, I started training with her and stayed in the school's boxing gym until the evening, in order to get her back into competition shape."

"..."

Speaking of this, Ceria's tone paused.

Lapland blinked and waited quietly for her to continue.

Then, Seria continued with a calm expression:

"Then one night, I forgot my gloves at the boxing gym. ... When I went back to get them, I saw two bodies overlapping each other in the deepest part of the boxing gym."

"That's the coach who always teaches us boxing majestically...and my friend who always painstakingly stays alone until late at night."

"Oops." Lapland in front of Ceria looked shocked, covered his mouth with his hands like Mulseth, and blinked:

"Is this something I can hear?"

Then, she tilted her head again and asked curiously: "Then what, you rushed up and punched them?"

"……Do not."

Seria shook her head and said:

"...I saved the evidence and reported the matter to the school and the Colombian Boxing Event Committee."

"Later, this incident had a wide impact. The coach who took advantage of his position to do improper things was fired from the school. At the same time, because he was still a member of the competition committee, it was found that he might have cheated in the competition. He was ultimately fined extremely hefty and banned for life."

"I took this opportunity to put forward some shortcomings and improvement suggestions in school-level boxing events over the years. These opinions were adopted by the event committee, and they also invited me, a high school student, to become an event committee member."

“Today I am still an honorary member of the Colombian Boxing Event Committee. Although I have stopped participating in competitions, according to what I understand, with the overall boxing field continuing to improve, boxing has gradually become a Colombian school. Another major movement within the permanent community.”

"... Of course, I protected that friend's privacy at the time. She just transferred schools and is now living well in the new city."

Although Seria spoke lightly, Wu Xian, who was standing by OB, could feel that this matter still occupied a very important position in Seria's heart.

"...I can only say that he is indeed a father."

Wu Xian also thought that Seria was going to rush up and punch them both.

Chapter 116 Different Beliefs

...But in the final analysis, Ceria is such a person.

Wu Xian looked at Seria and Lapland in front of him. He suddenly couldn't figure out why Lapland called Seria out and wanted to listen to her story.

Could it be that Lapland wants to lead Seria as a bad person?

Wu Xian, who is familiar with the plot, knows that the will of Seria's conservatives is not actually that pure, and is mixed with a variety of emotions and beliefs.

But precisely because the various memories and schemas contained in it shape a person like Ceria, no matter what situation she encounters, these different beliefs are entangled with each other, allowing Ceria to maintain the will of order. Able to be as unshakable as the earth.

...But yes.

Thinking of this, Wu Xian shook his beard.
