Ark, they don't revolve around you

"Sometimes, you and I always take things for granted." Kal'tsit said again, this time without mockery, but with more self-blame, "But that's wrong."

"We used to be very selfish and only thought about ourselves."

"As for him, he is so powerful and trusted by others, how could he get hurt... You and I would think so, Mostima."

Mastema's face turned even paler.

At some point, he had already clenched the staff in his hand, and his eyes were burning with resistance.

She heard Kelsey conclude.

"The Doctor has sealed himself off. You can't break it."

"—You don't know him that well, Mastema."

It was this sentence again. She wanted to refute it, but the words were stuck in her throat.

It's just very uncomfortable.

The room fell silent for a moment.

……

Zhuang Ning turned off the light and the room became dark instantly, but he could see everything in the darkness.

His mind was clear and he had no sleepiness at all. This was the reward the system gave him - sleeplessness.

He closed his eyes and smiled. It was great that he didn't need to sleep at all, not even at night. He could save several hours every day.

But Zhuang Ning still shrouded himself in darkness.

Being wrapped in darkness is his most peaceful moment, with no one to disturb him and no pressure.

Now Zhuang Ning is not alone, he has Rhodes Island behind him. Although the antidote for oripathy has been developed, it is too expensive to make and the production is insufficient, so it cannot be popularized at all.

Even so, it is a strong enough capital that entities in every country will salivate over it.

How to utilize it and maximize the benefits...this does require a long period of thinking.

Zhuang Ning enjoyed this kind of time very much.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, but then, there was a slight sound at the door.

Someone came in with small steps, as light as a cat.

In the darkness, Zhuang Ning opened his eyes, his right hand unconsciously pressing the gun at his waist.

It was a modified gun that could be fired without the need for Originium skills. As long as the distance was close enough, it could open a person's skull.

His breathing slowed down, as if he was falling asleep.

——Zhuang Ning didn’t know who was coming, but Rhodes Island was not safe.

In other words, anywhere other than home is not safe. Even if he has never had sleepless nights in the past, a gust of wind can wake him up.

That person is near

At the same time, Zhuang Ning raised his gun in a standard posture, and the opponent took a small step synchronously - it looked like he was actively moving towards the muzzle of the gun.

Zhuang Ning saw clearly the identity of the visitor.

w.

She raised her hands in surprise, then said unhappily, "I just wanted to scare you."

She noticed that Zhuang Ning's eyes were very cold, and he had no intention of releasing the gun.

Chapter 4 Don't bother me

When w returned to Rhode Island, he felt a rare sense of nervousness.

This kind of tension is different from the killing on the battlefield. It does not involve life and death, but it grips her heart more tightly.

She recalled her last conversation with His Highness, in the palace of Kazdel. Theresa looked back and said, "You've been in a trance lately, w."

“Is there…?”

"Are you tired of Kazdel?"

W answered flatly: "No, this is my home."

She didn't lie, it was good to accompany His Highness, and Kazdel was also thriving.

But she was always in a trance, and a person's image appeared in her mind, which she couldn't forget for a long time.

"You're thinking about the Doctor." Theresa chuckled, but didn't mean it.

"How is it possible..." W wanted to refute.

Theresa's words left her stunned.

"You like him." The prince said bluntly, "You care about him more than following me."

w held his breath blankly. Theresa always had the ability to see through the truth. She said this, perhaps this was her true heart.

"Since you like it, why don't you go back?" Theresa's fingertips stroked W's silver hair, as soft as water, as if she was looking at her own child, "Please say hello to the Doctor and Kal'tsit for me."

So W set sail, and on the way back he thought of that person again and again.

She felt that she was really disgusting, but she couldn't help imagining the doctor's expression, so she laughed out loud again and again.

It was already late at night when we entered Rhode Island.

w had been away for half a year, but fortunately his ID had not been cancelled, so he encountered no obstacles when he came back.

The corridor was empty. She thought the doctor should still be sleeping at this time.

Then scare the Doctor when he wakes up and mock him - just like before.

A sly smile gradually appeared on w's face, and his steps became lighter.

Walk through the door.

She couldn't help but complain that the doctor was still so defenseless. If a killer like her sneaked in, how should she deal with it?

As she was thinking, a black gun was pointed at her.

At the same time, there were cold eyes, the darkness of the pupils was even colder than the night sky.

For a moment she would not associate him with the Doctor.

W raised his hands, a little surprised by the doctor's reaction, and pretended to be unhappy and said: "I just want to scare you."

According to W's idea, the doctor should put down his gun next, with a dull and helpless look on his face, mixed with a bit of surprise.

Then she would throw him down on the bed.

It’s been half a year... I haven’t seen you for half a year. How could it feel like centuries have passed?

How could I be like a girl in love, not reserved at all?

w's face turned a little red. Although she would occasionally make dirty jokes, she was still an innocent girl at heart.

but.

Things didn't turn out the way she imagined.

The doctor did not put down his gun, but his eyes became even colder.

"W?"

"It's me, Doctor." W already felt something was wrong. "Put down your gun. Tell me, don't point your weapon at your own people."

"One of us..." The doctor chewed on the word, "Are you..."

The last sound was so small, but the room was so quiet that W could hear it clearly.

Are you?

Anger suddenly rose in her heart.

But the anger quickly disappeared, because what followed was... fear.

She felt murderous intent from the doctor, like a thorn in her back. The man in front of her would never hesitate when pulling the trigger!

In the past, W had laughed at the doctor's poor reaction, and he just smiled and whispered, "It's okay. With so many people protecting a piece of trash like me, it's okay, right?"

Now, this person said mechanically with fatigue:

"I ask, you answer."

"..."

"Answer, do not be silent." He fired the gun in his hand.

"……Yes."

"Code name?"

"w."

"identity?"

It was like treating an enemy. The tone of questioning was very strict and there was no humanity at all.

wI didn't expect that I would feel wronged.

She had originally taught the doctor this interrogation technique, but he had actually used it on himself...

Is this still the doctor I know?

"It's okay." She heard the doctor say again, and her heart was relieved.

I thought the doctor would relax next, but he still didn't put down his gun and kept pointing it at her head.

The other hand then reached out to touch her body.

Without a trace of ambiguity.

He was feeling for W's weapons - those close-fitting miniature bombs, small guns, and various equipment, and skillfully disarmed her.

"I was assassinated before." He explained considerately as he did so, "The assassin disguised himself as a patient and almost stabbed my heart."

"One should always be cautious, especially when someone breaks into my room in the middle of the night without telling me..."

There was a click.

It was the sound of a bomb falling to the ground. Zhuang Ning kicked them and pushed them into the corner.

Only then did he put down his gun and said softly, "Long time no see, w——welcome back."

Welcome back?

w gritted his teeth and raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Ning.

After he finished speaking, he unconsciously took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance. He still held the gun in his hand with his index finger on the trigger, ready to fire at any time.

The man was on guard, like a wild animal.

Is this considered a welcome back? W was angry and couldn't help but think about the conversation just now.

——One of us…are you?

w felt as if he had been hit by a hammer and found it difficult to stand.

wrong!

It shouldn't be like this?!

: "It's been a long time, Doctor." She forced a smile on her face, "You have changed a lot? If you were so cautious before, you wouldn't have been assassinated."

"Times have changed." The doctor's voice was still cold. "I didn't know anything before... I was lucky to survive."

He asked coldly: "What are you doing, w, you don't have to accompany His Highness?"

Suspicion.

Puzzled.

And... murderous intent.

Even after his identity was confirmed, the murderous intent that was as sharp as a needle did not dissipate and was directed directly at the girl.

wrong! ! !

There is a voice roaring in my heart.
