Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

Arturo gently opened the door and came to the rooftop. He immediately felt how uncomfortable the cold wind in early spring was. He should have changed into warmer clothes. However, he also immediately saw Roya sitting casually on the edge of the rooftop, who seemed like he could fall down at any time. After all, the flame on his tail was too conspicuous.

Roya was not surprised by Arturo's appearance. The entire hotel building including the nearby streets were covered by his consciousness. He could even feel that Miss Platinum from the No Heroes Alliance in the hotel opposite was asleep.

"You didn't sleep either?"

"I feel a little uncomfortable that you don't let me play."

Arturo stood beside Roya, leaned over to take a look and estimated that this place was at least ninety meters above the ground. How could Roya dare to sit on the edge of the rooftop? Was it because he couldn't see and so was not afraid at all?

Of course, Roya couldn't allow Arturo to play at will. This guy was used to adding his own Originium skills to his performance. Skadi and Ghost Shark both had potential psychological problems, and Hong Xue also had a past that she didn't want to face. What would happen if she really played? The main reason was that Roya was worried that Ghost Shark would come directly at him, and he didn't want to do it.

"Is the cello repaired?"

"It's just changing the strings. I've done this many times."

Looking at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the street, Arturo felt that overlooking the city from this angle was indeed a different feeling, but she still didn't quite understand why Roya came here to sit in the middle of the night. No matter how beautiful the scenery here was, Roya couldn't see it.

Winter had just passed, and the wind tonight was indeed cold enough to make people uncomfortable. However, as he was now a Drake, Roya was not afraid of that. Listening to the hustle and bustle of traffic, even if Arturo hadn't said it, Roya could imagine what the scene was like. It was a pity that he couldn't see it.

"Are you wondering why I'm sitting here?"

"Yes, but I am more puzzled that you can actually pick the lock."

To be honest, this has really shaken Arturo's personal impression of Roya. She has always thought that Roya is the kind of person who is gentle but also serious and solemn, but now it seems that this is a bit one-sided.

Luo Ya did not deny that he had picked the lock himself. It took him more than a minute from beginning to end. It can only be said that his skills were still rusty.

"When I was in prison, I had to learn a few skills in order to avoid having to eat after I was released. I know a lot of things."

"Have you ever been to prison?"

Now Arturo began to doubt whether he was still dreaming. Why did he feel that Roya's experience was so colorful?

"It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it. In fact, I can even say that I miss that time. In fact... it was probably the most relaxing period of my life."

There were scheduled tasks to do every day, but he no longer had to climb dark chimneys or go through narrow and smelly sewers. He could even eat his fill every day and didn't have to worry about the house leaking when it rained. He also met so many people who understood and encouraged him. It can only be said that was probably the luckiest time in his life. After all, most prisons are not that friendly.

"As for why I came here to sit, you may not believe the reason if I tell you, but I just don't want to wake up to another busy day."

“…You really need some alone time to yourself.”

Having been in touch with many people's emotions, Arturo can now always easily perceive other people's thoughts. Roya did not hide anything, so she naturally understood that he was just too tired and hoped to find a place to relax. Although Arturo had only known Roya for a few days, she could see that Roya was always busy with many things during these days. He seemed to be strolling around, but in fact he was exhausted. There was just one thing Arturo didn't quite understand.

“But why the rooftop?”

"This is a habit I developed last year. Whenever I feel stressed and bored, I go to the rooftop to get some fresh air. Sigh... When I think about it, I seem to be always busy and don't even have any personal time."

Luo Ya thought about it. When he was in Longmen, he was thinking about how to ruin his reputation in the Guard Bureau during the day. At night, he had to follow Lin Yuxia to do missions. When he got home, he fell asleep immediately. But when he was on the rooftop, he didn't have to think about anything, so he developed the habit of going to the rooftop at that time.

It was better when he was in the deep pool. Later, his relationship with Abrana developed. Although he was still busy, he never felt tired with her around. Besides, Xiao Ke, Rosemary and Rafshini always kept him from worrying.

But now the integration movement is facing a more difficult situation and a more difficult road. Roya needs to think carefully. Since he has promised to help Tallulah and Froststar, he will not break his promise. But sometimes he can't help but think that it would be great if he didn't need to do anything and just needed to find a way home.

Whenever this thought came to his mind, Luo Ya liked to go to the rooftop and sit quietly to clear his mind, regardless of the destructive voice in his mind.

Arturo then realized that he had disturbed Roya's rest time and picked up the cello with some apology.

"Then do I need to avoid it first?"

"No, it's still easy to chat with you, but you should address me in a more casual way. I'm not some high and mighty figure, so there's no need to use honorifics."

When chatting with Arturo, no plans were involved. In addition, her tone and attitude were more like a listener. Roya didn't mind her staying here, but he never liked being addressed by honorifics other than professional titles.

Of course Arturo would not refuse what Roya said. She always felt that she had an indescribable strange liking for Roya and it was difficult for her to refuse any request made by Roya. Fortunately, apart from the "no performance without permission" clause, Roya did not make any other requests to Arturo.

"I thought you would complain that I disturbed your rest time."

"My time is probably the least valuable thing in the world in some ways."

Listening to the countdown in his mind, Luo Ya really didn't know what to say. It is said that time is money. He still has more than ten months left to live, so it is right to say that he should cherish it. But the problem is that he can be resurrected after death. Time has become the most important yet the least important contradiction for him.

His feet kicked the wall lightly, and Roya's tail was burning with flames, which made Arturo feel a lot warmer. He held the tail and thought for a while, as if he had thought of something.

"Hey Arturo, are you afraid of death?"

This abrupt question left Arturo at a loss for an answer, while Roya continued his questions.

"Have you ever wondered why we should live even though life is short and fragile?"

Arturo pondered for a moment, then put down the cello, walked to Roya and carefully sat on the rooftop with him. Although Sakota had wings of light, he could not fly. If he fell from a height of more than 90 meters, even a race like Vaifan, who was famous for its strong physical fitness, might be killed. Arturo was even more careful. After taking a look at the street below, he suddenly felt uneasy. Then, looking at Roya, he suddenly felt that it would be better if he could not see like him.

"Have you ever thought about that?"

"Yes, when I was a kid, the question I asked myself the most was 'Why do I have to live in such a broken world?' Although now I think that was all due to my youth and ignorance, I did get some answers later on. So are you afraid of death?"

Back to the point just now, Roya felt the changes in Arturo's emotions and consciousness, her heartbeat and blood flow, and then heard Arturo's voice.

"I am afraid, but I don't understand why. Since death is the final result of all our lives and is inevitable, why should I be afraid of it?"

If death is inevitable, then fear of it is unnecessary. Even though he knows this, Arturo still has an indescribable fear of death in his heart.

"You're not afraid of death, Arturo, you just hate it as much as I do."

Roya sensed the changes in Arturo's emotions. Perhaps because she was used to listening to and agreeing with other people's thoughts, her own emotions were too simple and easy to be read. What Roya felt was not fear but disgust.

"You hate that death comes to people so easily, turning vibrant lives into empty shells, and you can't get any emotional response from these empty shells... Well, this is also what you fear, fearing that your performance will not receive any response."

The dead have no feelings, and will not give Arturo any response. More importantly, the death of her mother Luciana in childhood made Arturo have her own imperfect understanding of death too early. She hates that death can easily destroy everything of a person, and she is afraid that those powerful souls will leave nothing after death and cannot respond to her, just like her mother.

Roya found that Arturo was really easy to understand. Once she entered her inner world, she would understand that all of Arturo's actions were caused by her mother's death, and this death was driven by her.

Arturo is like an empty shell. There is no need to look at her empty inside. Her appearance is everything to her. Roya understood Arturo and pointed it all out to her in turn.

After listening to it, Arturo had to admit one thing, that is, Roya understood her heart better than her, just like she understood what others were thinking better than others. What Roya said completely echoed her heart, but Arturo subconsciously did not want to admit it before. This feeling was indescribably wonderful.

This made her more curious about Luo Ya. Since Luo Ya could accurately read her thoughts, what was he thinking?

"Are you afraid of death?"

"I'm not afraid of death." Luo Ya answered without hesitation, "I'm afraid of living meaninglessly."

When he said this, Roya thought of the night before the New Year a few months ago when Ceobe was taken away by the Lord of the Wilderness. If he did not choose to save Ceobe but pretended that nothing had happened and knew nothing and continued to rely on Abrana, then naturally he could stay with his beloved for a long time, and no one would blame him. After all, even if Roya went at that time, he would probably not be able to save Ceobe, but that was not what Roya wanted.

He would rather die on the way to save Xiao Ke, even if his body was buried by wind, frost and snow, than live this meaningless life by relying on giving up something.

“People will eventually die. We must strive to live out this short and fragile life and leave our achievements to future generations. This is how people grow up slowly and repeatedly. This is also the overlapping cycle of life and death.

"A person's death does not mean that everything about him will end, Arturo. Your mother was a very respectable person, and you inherited a lot from her, such as the feelings that you also have."

Roya's voice was very soft, but every word hit Arturo's heart. She didn't know what to say, and Roya had already rolled up the cello with his tail and handed it to her.

"Use the method you like best and are most familiar with. I will allow you to play this time."

Arturo took her cello and looked at Roya's face. She understood that Roya was trying to persuade her to get over her mother's funeral, but she didn't understand Roya's motive. It seemed that he... would try to save everyone like this.

"Sure enough, I have disturbed your rest, but you really like to preach and enlighten others."

"Why, do you think I'm annoying, like an old man who nags and lectures people all day long?"

Roya also knew that he was indeed a bit talkative, but if Arturo's psychological problems were not resolved, it might pose a lot of hidden dangers in the future. As he said before, the purpose of all his actions was just to save more people, Arturo included.

Of course, it was impossible for Arturo to really think of Roya that way, and she didn't even mind Roya saying these words to her.

"How could that be? I just feel that... meeting you may be the luckiest thing in my life."

Arturo's heart was shaken. Apart from her mother Luciana, Roya was the first person she had talked to about these things since she could remember.

"Everyone's life is just missing a few people who truly understand them."

Roya could intuitively feel the changes in Arturo's heart. The lawn that she had never been able to leave was shaking. When Arturo learned to look at his mother's death from another perspective, she would learn to really let it go. Luciana was walking on the path she would least regret, and her mother was not deprived of everything by death.

He suddenly realized that this was the case with most of the people he met, including Tallulah, Abrana, Lin Yuxia, Arturo in front of him, and Viviana who was about to be kidnapped by him. They all lacked someone like Roya who could communicate with them on an equal footing and understand them.

However, there was one thing that Roya didn't actually say, and that was that when he was chatting with Arturo just now, he used his own words to allow his words to reach Arturo's heart directly and echo repeatedly in her mind. This was why it had such a good effect. But even if he said it, Arturo probably wouldn't care.

"Then, as compensation for interrupting your rest time, please allow me to play your feelings."

Arturo stood up, picked up the cello and prepared to start playing. She was standing on the very edge of the rooftop. Any gust of wind seemed likely to blow her down, ending her life in a free fall of dozens of meters. But she felt that she didn't hate death so much. Now she only wanted to stand beside Roya and play a song for her. What would it matter if she died for it?

The melodious cello sound echoed on the rooftop, blending into the wind and gradually dissipating. Only Roya could hear Arturo's performance. She seemed to be back to the day of her mother's funeral and that lawn.

But this time she was not revealing the inner thoughts of the guests, but expressing her own thoughts and saying goodbye to her mother.

In the past, people attributed the death of Arturo's mother to her instigation, and even Arturo felt that she was wrong. But compared to death, she knew that her mother would rather be indifferent and leave regrets behind. Now she only regretted that she did not have the strength to accompany her mother when she was young and could not give her more support and help.

After thinking this through, Arturo suddenly felt that he had touched Roya's heart a little bit, a heart that was exhausted, but also full of vitality and passion.

Arturo soon realized that Roya did this on purpose. He opened up a part of himself and used his own emotions to infect Arturo's heart and plant the seeds of emotion, making her no longer just an empty shell.

However, a few minutes later, Arturo stopped playing and found that Roya had fallen asleep due to the sound of her cello. His body swayed back and forth, but fortunately he did not fall from the rooftop which was more than 90 meters high. She subconsciously threw her precious cello aside and instead supported Roya's body, carefully carrying him to the back.

Looking at the tired face of Roya when she was sleeping, Arturo subconsciously felt distressed. This was one of the emotions that had bound her before. Roya gave part of her emotions to Arturo so that she could use it to weave her own inner self, so she should also give back to Roya.

"I will be your helper."

As he spoke, Arturo did not notice that his halo had become brighter at this moment because of the cover of the city's neon lights. He just picked up Roya and brought him back to his room without disturbing his sweet dreams.

There was no way, she didn't have the door card for Luoya's room. It seemed that Luoya accidentally fell under the roof when he fell asleep.

Chapter 174 Miss Platinum is gradually in danger

In the early morning of Casimir, Hong Xue looked coldly at Luo Ya, who was sitting on the bed in front of her, looking somewhat at a loss. This was the first time that Luo Ya behaved like this in front of her, but she couldn't be happy and even felt like biting this guy twice out of anger.

“So, that’s your excuse for waking up in Arturo’s bed so early in the morning?”

"Uh, let me reiterate, I'm just stating why I'm in this room, I'm not making excuses!"

Facing Hong Xue's interrogation, Luo Ya expressed his attitude firmly. He did not expect that Arturo played a lullaby for him last night. He was already very sleepy, and after sharing some of his feelings with Arturo, he fell asleep due to mental fatigue.

The key point is that he fell asleep, but it was early in the morning and because he couldn't see anyone and didn't widen his perception range, he didn't notice that Arturo was sleeping next to him. But fortunately, they didn't cover themselves with the same quilt, otherwise Roya felt that he would not even have a chance to explain.

As he spoke, Roya's tail secretly swept across Arturo's calf, signaling her to explain as well. To be honest, Roya didn't understand why things turned out like this.

"Nothing really happened between Luo Ya and me. He was just too tired after having a heart-to-heart talk with me last night, so he just slept in my room for one night."

(No, are you helping me or harming me? You did this on purpose, didn’t you?)

Feeling that Hong Xue's anger was getting worse, Luo Ya felt that Arturo was deliberately making things difficult for her. However, she thought that Arturo was not the type of person who liked to play pranks, and the key point was that what she said was not wrong, so she could only admit defeat.

"It's too tiring to have a heart-to-heart talk. Do you think I would believe this?"

Hong Xue couldn't help but clench her fists. Looking at Arturo's usual smile, she felt that the two of them were not just having a simple heart-to-heart talk, and her blood pressure started to rise.

Skadi held the breakfast bread and ate it while nodding in agreement.

Compared to Hong Xue's anger and Skadi's indifference, Ghost Shark looked completely sad and resentful, like a wife who was abandoned by her husband but could do nothing and could only grieve alone.

"If you have any requirements, it's obviously better to find me, isn't it, whether it's body shape or other aspects."

Now, not to mention Hong Xue, even Arturo felt offended. In fact, her figure was still good, but it was indeed not as good as the Ghost Shark. Or it could be said that the average figure of the entire Sakta tribe did not seem to be outstanding. Instead, the average figure of Sarkaz women ranked first on Terra.

Now it was Roya's turn to smile bitterly. The ghost shark was really rude to him. But the key point was that this girl still had the main personality of "Laurentina" in her body. If the two shared memories, Laurentina would probably want to chop Roya into pieces after taking over the body in the future.

"Shark, be good and don't make trouble, okay?"

After rubbing Ghost Shark's head and asking her to stop interfering, Luo Ya really wanted to let Hong Xue see how sincere his eyes were, but he was blind and had no eyes.

"I'm being serious. Nothing happened between Arturo and I. We were just chatting on the rooftop last night."

"Oh, so what did you talk about?"

What did they talk about? Of course, it was hard to say. Arturo's past was a lifelong scar and psychological shadow for her. All Roya did was to repair the cracks in her heart. She couldn't talk about someone's bad memories in public.

Arturo also understood Luoya's thoughts. In fact, she had deliberately made last night's events so ambiguous. She just wanted to observe Luoya and Hongxue's reactions and emotional fluctuations. It was quite interesting. However, if she continued like this, Luoya would be in trouble, which was not what Arturo wanted to see. After thinking about it, she decided to help Luoya out.

"Ms. Hongxue cares so much because she likes Luo Ya, right?"

"..."

This one sentence stunned the whole audience. Everyone from Hong Xue to Luo Ya was stunned, except Ghost Shark, who had an expression of "as expected". Skadi's face was also calm.

"You...what are you talking about? How could I possibly like him? I...never mind, isn't it ok for me to just ignore it?"

Her face was so red that she couldn't say anything. Hong Xue didn't even bother to question him. She just turned around and left Arturo's room.

Roya covered his face helplessly, thinking that things would become even more difficult now, but he still stood up and reached out to knock on Arturo's forehead.

"This trick is really useful. Don't use it next time. No, there won't be a next time."

"I just spoke out her thoughts. You can see how she feels about you. If she wasn't struggling and desperate, and she was longing for someone to help her express her feelings, I wouldn't have spoken out without permission."

Arturo gently touched the place where she was hit. With Roya's restraint, she certainly would not play other people's thoughts at will, but Hongxue knew Arturo's ability, and she clearly wanted her to speak her mind, and Arturo didn't mind helping her.
