Chapter 108: VIP settlement for the victor after the battle! (55 please subscribe!)

The moonlight is particularly bright tonight.

Locke was sitting cross-legged on a container at the Manhattan container terminal, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by moonlight.

Locke looked at Catherine, his eyes dazed as he told the story of a dream he had once had.

The story of this dream happened a long time ago, so long ago that even Locke could not tell the exact year.

The only thing that is certain is that this story took place on the European continent two hundred years ago.

"This dream is so distant that I can no longer remember what my name was in the dream."

"Even about the content of this dream, I can only remember very little."

"but……"

"You are the only one I can't forget."

After laying the groundwork for the dream, Locke looked at Catherine with his deep blue eyes as affectionate as the abyss of the ocean, and formally began to tell the content of the dream he remembered.

“I remember it was an early morning.”

"The temperature was just right, and I was not in a hurry or impatient. I was just walking out of the house when I saw a fairy walking out of the forest."

"That's you, K!"

"But you seemed very panicked at that time, as if someone was chasing you."

"When I was hesitating whether to walk towards you, someone came."

“I have forgotten their names.”

"But I vaguely remember that in my dream, they seemed to be called the Salvatore brothers."

"..."

When Catherine, who had been expressionless, heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed and she looked at Locke.

Locke seemed not to see it. His eyes were dazed and he was still telling the story of a dream he had once had step by step.

"I saw the two Salvatore brothers walking towards you."

"I want to go, but I don't dare."

"I can't remember the reason, maybe it's because I was very poor in my dream, and the two Salvatore brothers were very rich."

"By the time I mustered up the courage to step forward, you had already left with the two Salvatore brothers."

"I watched you walk away and regretted my hesitation."

“…Then I left my hometown.”

"It was so long ago that I can't even remember how long."

"When I become successful and return, you will be gone. I heard that the two Salvatore brothers have also left."

"Until the moment I closed my eyes in that dream, I was still thinking of you."

"K!"

"It was obviously me who saw you first. How great it would have been if I had had enough courage to walk towards you at that time."

"That day, I saw you again."

“For a moment I thought I saw God perform a miracle.”

“Later on, I realized that I didn’t believe in God either.”

When Locke said this, he seemed to come back to his senses from his memories, laughed at himself, and then looked at Catherine.

into the eye.

He saw Catherine staring at him with extremely dangerous eyes.

A trace of confusion flashed across Locke's face: "What's wrong, K?"

Catherine looked at Locke expressionlessly, and then her eyes fell on her hands that were tightly held by Locke.

She didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Locke laughed at himself, and this time, without waiting for Catherine to speak, he took the initiative to let go of Catherine's hands.

"Feel sorry."

"……for what?"

Catherine listened to Locke's abrupt apology and looked up at Locke expressionlessly.

Locke smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Catherine.

"Do you know why I took ninety-nine steps towards you that time, but didn't take the hundredth step?"

"……Why?"

"Just like in my dream, I hesitated at the end."

"I'm afraid this is just another dream."

"I was afraid that after I took this last step, I would suddenly discover that this was just another dream, so I hesitated."

"Because as long as I don't take the initiative, then I won't get hurt again."

"But in the Vampire Mansion, I once again experienced a life-and-death crisis."

"I don't want to fool myself anymore."

“So I made a decision.”

"Let me take this last step. No matter whether it's true or false, this time, I will never miss you no matter what I say."

"If this is a dream, then let me never wake up from it!"

"If it is reality, then I will grasp reality."

"but……"

Locke looked at Catherine with a self-deprecating expression on his face. "I seem to have messed up again, right?"

After saying this.

He said no more, but under Catherine's gaze, he grabbed the wine glass beside him and drank it all in silence.

Then Locke looked up and looked at the moon on the sea in the distance at a forty-five degree angle.

His chin was slightly raised and his eyes were narrowed.

If you look closely, there seem to be two tears condensed in the corners of Locke's blue eyes.

But because Locke looked up stubbornly, the tears never fell.

Catherine, who was sitting next to him, remained silent. She looked at Locke, who was looking up at a 45-degree angle and seemed to exude the aura of a loser. Her gaze shifted slightly and fell on the bourbon glass next to her. She pursed her lips.

Locke squinted his eyes and looked up at the moon at a 45-degree angle. At this moment, he felt a little regretful.

He shouldn't have such a high angle of elevation.

Thirty degrees is fine.

Because thirty degrees is just enough to see Catherine's actions out of the corner of my eye.

It's nothing like now. His eyes are wandering a lot, and the atmosphere that was finally gathered here is gone.

But if his eyes were not wandering, he would not be able to see Catherine's every move.

Shet!

These are all lessons learned and must be learned. Next time you use this trick, just raise your head 30 degrees, not 45 degrees.

Locke thought to himself.

What a dream.

He was talking complete nonsense. Ever since he traveled through time and space and was reborn, from the first day till now, he had not had a single sweet dream, let alone a nightmare.

Yes.

The remarks about dreams just now were purely made up by Locke Xia.

What hesitation.

What a pity.

Made up.

In the conversation about the dream just now, except for the two Salvatore brothers who really existed, everything else was just his improvisation.

Even the two Salvatore brothers were wondering whether they remembered it correctly when Locke said this just now.

He admits that he has an element of gambling.

To pick up girls.

There is more or less an element of gambling involved, especially for a married man like him, it is a huge gamble.

fortunately!

He noticed the change in Catherine's eyes when she heard about the two Salvatore brothers and knew that he had made the right bet.

Katherine Pierce.

One of the heroines in The Vampire Diaries.

When Locke heard K introduce himself, the first people that came to his mind were "Alexander Pierce" and Katherine Pierce from the magical romance American TV series "The Vampire Diaries".

That was why he panicked at that time.

Then he quickly realized that the K in front of him was Katherine Pierce from The Vampire Diaries, and his brain started to work quickly again, coming up with the idea of entering the story through dreams.

He feels that his ability to perform on the spot has always been good.

Half truths and half lies.

Specious.

Based on the real Salvatore brothers and his excellent storytelling skills, he constructed a character who met Katherine Pierce at the same time as the Salvatore brothers, and even before the Salvatore brothers, but was overtaken by the Salvatore brothers because of his weakness and timidity.

At the same time, the film also uses dreams as a starting point to construct a character in which Locke, who has reincarnated two hundred years later, sees Katherine Pierce and falls in love with her again, but cannot help himself.

but……

He was completely unaware of Catherine's expression and had no idea whether he had passed or failed.

Oh my god, why don’t you look back?
After waiting for a while, Locke muttered to himself that if K's scent had not been there, he would have suspected that K had left quietly.

Just when Locke was hesitating whether to call it a day.

next second.

A slender hand, as white as jade and even whiter in the moonlight, appeared before him, holding a bottle of bourbon.

Locke came back to his senses and looked at Catherine who was handing him a bottle of bourbon.

"...K" Locke opened his mouth, his voice already a little hoarse.

A smile appeared on Catherine's originally cold face: "Here."

Locke reached out and took the glass that Catherine filled for him.

Catherine then raised her glass and looked at Locke with a smile: "Cheers."

Locke looked puzzled and hesitant.

"for what?"

"for……"

Catherine looked up, as if she was thinking about something, then looked at Locke again, and then said with a smile: "For our reunion."

Locke's heart moved.

Good guy.

Did she believe it?
Right.

This happened two hundred years ago, and he made up an insignificant little person for himself. It was normal for Catherine to forget about it.

This……

As expected of me!

Locke said secretly in his heart, and when he heard that, he showed a hint of surprise on his face and looked at Catherine.

"cheers."

"cheers!"

The two bourbon glasses clinked together, and then the two men looked at each other and drank the bourbon in their glasses.

after that……

There was no after that.

A dark cloud came from nowhere and blocked the moonlight on the sea. Darkness instantly enveloped the entire container terminal.

Several security guards in the security room at the dock seemed to hear faint vampire-like roars and gasps coming from outside, and they looked at each other in confusion.

Several people looked at each other, and it seemed that they all wanted the other to go out and check.

but……

No security guard dared to go out.

After all, even at a container terminal, night and day are two different worlds.

In the end, the security guards were no longer sleepy and looked at each other. It was not until the roaring disappeared in the second half of the night that they hugged each other and fell asleep.

the next day.

early morning.

Locke was lying on top of the container, his hands resting on the back of his head, staring at the gradually brightening sky in a trance.

The beautiful woman who was originally sleeping next to him had long disappeared.

It was like having a long dream.
