Ark, they don't revolve around you

"Once this is over, let's go to Rhodes Island to see the doctor. He is also very busy, and perhaps we can help him." The future successor of Lungmen said with great seriousness.

Shi Huaiya felt as if struck by lightning, and his fingertips trembled involuntarily.

"You are not the Chen Huijie I know!" She grabbed her friend's hand again, "Officer Chen, how could you say such a thing? Tell me, have you been possessed by another spirit?!"

"You're the one who's been possessed!" Chen Huijie glared at him, "You're either going or not, or I'll go alone!"

"Then I will definitely go." Shi Huaiya's momentum softened, and he curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, and all the worries in his heart disappeared.

There are still many people to deal with. Once the gang issues are resolved, we should prepare to have the Guards move into the slums.

This was a big project. Back then, Chen Huijie was still a fledgling police officer. She had had such an idea and was nearly killed by a big boss in the slums. She was eventually infected with oripathy.

But now he is here, the doctor will clear away those obstacles. Although he looks gentle, he never holds back on his enemies. In the future, Longmen will be completely new, and she will naturally be able to make up for her past mistakes.

Chen Huijie's fingers touched the map, and his expression was gentle, which surprised everyone.

Everything will be fine, she thought, smiling quietly.

……

"Will everything be alright?"

Ghetto.

The sound of sharpening a knife echoed in the dilapidated house. The man was sharpening the blade in his hand, and the whetstone made a fierce scraping sound.

Opposite him stood a girl, the Originium sword in her hand hanging down, with streams of blood flowing.

The blood was bright red, and she picked up the cloth and wiped it carelessly.

"Texas, let me ask you a question..." the man began, "How long has it been since you killed someone?"

"One year."

"It's been more than a year. You didn't kill anyone in Syracuse." The man said coldly, "You are different from that madman in Laplande. You don't resist killing, but you don't want to kill. You always feel that it will disrupt your peace, right?"

"..."

"Silent, you are always silent. Even after your family was destroyed, your story was still circulating in Syracuse. One man, two swords, and the siege of twelve families." The man sharpened the knife and scraped it against his wrist guard.

Then, he stared at her intently, "No one knows how you survived. Anyway, you came to Longmen, got tired of fighting, put away your fangs, and became a ridiculous porter and courier..."

"If you think it would please you to repeat my past, you may tell me more."

With murderous intent rising in his heart, Texas stood up, his posture still lazy, but his hands had already grasped the hilts of the two swords.

Such Originium swords are not sharp, but rather blunt, and far less sharp than metal ones. Generally, no one uses them. However, this is not a problem for her. Texas is a natural Syracuse who has learned the art of killing since childhood. In her hands, even toys can become the sharpest weapons.

"How scary! You don't look as strong as Lappland, but when you really want to kill, you're even scarier..."

The whisper faded away.

Finally, the man straightened his back and faced this terrifying monster.

"I heard that you returned to Syracuse a year ago."

"You could have stayed there, and still returned to this peaceful Longmen, enjoying your ordinary and boring days..." The man held the sword, and the blade rubbed against the ground, sparking sparks.

He smiled, his face grim: "What made you want to kill again? Was it that doctor from Rhodes Island? Because I had someone assassinate him?!"

Stupid!

The blade buzzed.

The blade-like wind hit him, and the man was hit by the storm. He slowly retreated and lowered his eyes, only to see several Originium swords inserted into his lungs.

She is worthy of being the best killer in Syracuse. When she really intends to kill someone, ordinary people have no time to react at all.

The man fell to his knees.

Texas pulled out the sword from his body and swung it casually, causing blood to spurt out. The blood was winding and shocking, but it did not stain the woman at all.

She is still as beautiful in that red dress today, like a flower.

"Yes," the man said. "It's beautiful."

"You should have died when you sent someone to kill Shi Huaiya." Perhaps the mission was completed, Texas lit a cigarette, "But you shouldn't have hurt him."

"Zhuang Ning... We are not stupid enough to attack him, Texas." The man spat out another mouthful of blood. He was such a tough guy that he was still laughing before he died. "You are killing me for him..."

"Celinina Texas, in the end, you are still a ridiculous woman. Why would he need you for revenge? A man like him would not allow others to avenge himself..."

"That's all." His smile stopped, and he suddenly roared at the top of his lungs, "You will not be redeemed, the Lone Wolf of Texas!"

Texas didn't hear it, threw away the cigarette butt, and threw down the lighter in his hand.

The flames rose up and quickly reached the living man, engulfing him in flames.

Texas acted as if he didn't see anything, and quietly walked to his car, touching the hood of the car.

A sound was heard.

"Um, Texas?"

A familiar voice. Texas admitted that he was a little timid, but he still raised his head.

Then I saw a pair of eyes. They were so dark, as if it was a starless night, but when they were squinted, they exuded a slight warmth.

Zhuang Ning glanced at the burning house and asked, "Did you do it?"

"Yes."

"There's no need for this." He approached alone, put his hands on the girl's shoulders, and leaned down.

"You didn't have to do it yourself. He would have died soon anyway."

The tone is so soft.

Just like before, when he comforted her in Syracuse.

Chapter 31 If He Changes Back

A soothing melody sounded, with an ancient sadness. Before coming to Longmen, Texas often listened to such music. Syracuse is a country with a long rainy season, and it is always filled with sadness and elegance.

"You killed a lot of people today." Zhuang Ning turned his head and asked, "Are you taking revenge for me?"

"……Correct."

"Then I'm not being sentimental." He chuckled, "It's unnecessary."

"But they hurt you."

"You don't have to hurt me. They have already been sentenced to death."

Texas whispered, "Are you here to see them?"

"of course."

"Are you alone?"

"One person is enough... Oh, do you think it disrupts my plan? It doesn't matter, they die, they are not a very important part." Zhuang Ning smiled, "I'm glad you're okay."

"……sorry."

"I told you, it's not necessary." Zhuang Ning stroked the hilt of the Originium Sword. "It's stained with blood again. You're angry, Texas."

He stroked the sword tenderly, as if it were his own child.

Texas was slightly moved.

"PhD."

"how?"

"Nothing." She smiled too. This girl's smile was always a little forced, and now there was a hint of hesitation. "You look good today."

"It will always be like this in the future." Zhuang Ning smiled.

They were not talking. They were two silent people. Occasionally they could feel each other's breath and know that the other was by their side. That was enough.

—At least it was enough for her.

The melody is more sad.

Zhuang Ning was stunned for a moment, then whispered the name of the piece of music: "From the New World?"

Texas thought Zhuang Ning felt the tune was too sad, so he wanted to change it.

"Let's just pick this one." Zhuang Ning said.

There was a trace of dullness on his face, and Texas seemed to see Zhuang Ning standing silently in the rain before.

"Do you know that someone adapted it into Yan Guoyu? I sang it when I was a kid..."

"I don't know." Texas was surprised, perhaps surprised that the doctor also had a childhood.

"Want to hear it?"

"……think."

"Then I'll sing...it may sound bad, please forgive me." He lowered his eyelids.

He began to hum softly, even though it wasn't acting at all.

"The sky is clear, the wind is cool, and I feel homesick."

“My hometown people, wherever they are now, I always miss them.”

"A lone traveler in a foreign land feels lonely and desolate."

He was really not being modest. The term "tone-deaf" refers to people like Zhuang Ning, whose voice is hoarse and low, and who can sing such a simple song in a fragmented way.

but.

Why is this song so lonely?

She saw the sadness in the corner of the doctor's eyes, which was so fleeting that he didn't even realize it.

He didn't look at Texas, but looked into the distance, as if there was a vaster land there and unknown relatives were waiting for him.

He would occasionally express such feelings, but was stubbornly unwilling to reveal them, swallowing down that bit of loneliness and pretending nothing had happened.

"Doc," Texas said, "where is your home?"

"Very far away." Zhuang Ning didn't look at her.

The melody continued to flow, but the magic was over, because the fleeting emotions awakened by the song faded away again.

Only the calm voice still echoed in the car.

"Texas, Penguin Logistics, is that your home?" he said.

"Ah."

"Then don't treat them carelessly..." Zhuang Ning said softly, "These are all very precious."

The car stopped at the docking area and he got out.

Texas watched from afar, and when he was about to disappear, Zhuang Ning finally looked back and waved to the girl.

It means we can still see each other tomorrow.

Somehow, Texas felt even worse, and in the car, she repeated the melody over and over again.

As it got dark and the sun set, and the tourists returned home, she stepped on the brakes and gradually moved away.

……

Wei Yanwu lowered his eyes. In front of him were reports about the demise of high-ranking officials and chaebols.

It's shocking just to look at it, but it all happened within a month.

"Master Wei."

"You're here, Doctor." Finally at this moment, Wei Yanwu closed his eyes slightly.

It was as if the heavy pressure on my shoulders had collapsed, and I relaxed from the bottom of my heart, feeling a little lonely, but also full of anticipation.

"PhD."

"Ok?"

"Thank you very much for your efforts this month." He said seriously, "As the governor of Longmen, I am also grateful that you stand by my side."

"I have to admit that I had my doubts when you first arrived, but you have proved with your actions that you are Longmen's most steadfast partner. I hope you can continue to accompany Huijie in the future."
