Ark, they don't revolve around you

When you abandon some unimportant principles and bottom lines, everything seems to become clear.

It's not without difficulty.

But, fortunately, this land is really chaotic.

The chaos is disgusting. Even the seemingly glamorous Yan has provided fertile ground for breeding insurgency groups like the Shanhaizhong.

Even a beautiful place like Lateran is engulfed in conspiracy and controlled by laws.

It all starts from Longmen.

The car slowly stopped.

Zhuang Ning got out of the car quietly, and Texas wanted to follow.

She really couldn't forget the eyes that flashed by just now. They were kind on the outside, but cold on the inside.

She had seen this kind of look in many people's eyes before, but she never expected to see it in the doctor's eyes.

Texas remembered what Laplander had predicted to her a year ago.

"You refused very well, Texas. The more you do this, the more he will wake up."

"He is the most terrifying monster this land can produce. Only a doctor like him can completely destroy Syracuse."

In the coffee shop, the white wolf smiled slightly, his blue eyes filled with intoxication as he stared at the misty rain:

"One day, he will become cruel and heartless. When that happens, I will serve him and carry out all his orders - I will dedicate everything to him!"

Laplande actually raised the corner of his mouth and asked curiously, "Texas, can you do it?"

Chapter 14 Where You Can't See

"Can you do that?"

The sound echoed in my ears.

Texas once scoffed at Laplander's prediction.

How many times had Lapland spent time with Zhuang Ning? What did she know?

The most terrifying monster bred on this land - what a horrifying statement. If there really is such a person, it would definitely not be the Doctor!

——That’s what she thought at that time.

But the expectation in Laplander's voice still lingered in Texas' mind.

So Texas also loudly refuted Laplander:

"What makes you say that? The doctor has been nice to you!"

Laplander laughed out loud.

"Of course the doctor is good to me, really, otherwise why would I listen to his orders."

She put her five fingers together and put on an intoxicated smile: "Before, I felt that no one could control me, and no one could command me."

"He's different, Texas. His orders make my blood boil. The enemies he tells me to tear apart make my chest feel angry."

"Ah, do you have this feeling? The victory he brought was like the sweetest wind, and when the war was over, he wiped the bloodstains for you and scolded you for not being too reckless. His tenderness was also suffocating."

She paused, her voice gentle: "He's simply a perfect person, right?"

"He will not make any mistakes, he will be flawless...even if he wants, he will definitely have a place in the Syracuse family."

As Lappland spoke, his voice suddenly turned cold.

Then he looked at Texas indifferently: "But it's wrong just because it's perfect."

"How can there be a perfect person in this world? After all, there are things he can't let go of, such as you, and Rhodes Island in him."

"He still lacks a little madness." Lappland felt a little regretful and stroked the strange sword in his hand. "If possible, I don't want him to fall so early... but no one can stop him."

"Can't you?" Texas smiled coldly.

"You could have, but you didn't want to." Lappland seemed to be mocking herself. She always saw some things too clearly.

"What am I to him? And what are you to him?"

"I am a mad wolf. He will look after me out of kindness, understand my actions, and stop my evil deeds, but he will not approach me..."

The tone concealed a loneliness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

It's like looking at someone in the rain for a long time, but not daring to get close, and can only let the rain pour down on both you and him.

understand……

Or, admiration... ?

Texas swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Amidst the madness, she actually felt an indescribable sadness from Lappland.

This kind of sadness was different from the confusion he felt when killing people on weekdays. Before this day, Texas would never have thought that Lapland was so... sensitive.

She crossed her legs gracefully, like a noble girl with impeccable manners, possessing the romance and sadness of the people of Syracuse.

"You actually——"

"I actually like him?" Laplander sneered, "Don't be ridiculous. This has nothing to do with liking, Texas, don't say that word to me, I don't want to hear it."

She lowered her eyes, covered her chest, and suddenly bit her lip: "I just... love him."

“Who else but him would hug me when I put a knife to his neck?”

"You're sure you don't know...Texas, why are you always like this, you have everything that I don't."

"But why don't you make a choice?"

"Why don't you stay with him?"

"Don't you realize that he's actually a very lonely person?"

"He also thinks highly of himself, which is ridiculous... He won't allow anyone else to enter his heart except those he is willing to entrust and trust—"

Lapland's fingertips were unconsciously resting on Texas' cheek. He looked straight at her, his eyes so deep that they seemed to reflect the truth of everyone.

She said: "That person never thought that perhaps the people he trusted didn't care about him that much."

This homeless lone wolf, the mad dog roaming between Volsini and Longmen, frightened the Syracusans, who all sighed from the bottom of their hearts.

“I wasn’t chosen by him.”

"But it doesn't matter. I will stand on his side. He will go crazy one day... When he goes crazy, I will protect him."

"It's up to you, Texas. You can do whatever you want."

"I didn't!" Texas shouted angrily, interrupting Lappland.

Damn it, what nonsense has she been talking about...

Texas has always been tolerant of Lapland, and Lapland is a part of her past.

But she was angry about those words.

The rage was overwhelming.

"What makes you think you know him?!"

"How could he be short of people around him? Look, Lapland, he won't refuse anyone... He's not crazy!"

"I didn't reject him, I just felt that I couldn't follow him, like that...like that..."

Stopped abruptly.

Texas found that such a rebuttal was really weak.

She recalled his back before he left.

"So, you think I like chaos?"

"So, you think I'm taking advantage of you?"

"So... you think, I don't like peace either?!"

Every sound strikes my heart.

She found that she might really think so.

Lapland stood up, looking down at her, with a smile that contained a hint of sarcasm and helplessness that she had never seen before.

"Let's make a bet...Texas."

"You want to leave him, but he won't let you go... just like you think you don't like Syracuse, but Syracuse won't let you go."

"One day, he will come back to Syracuse, and when he does, he will do more than just form an alliance with one city."

"He will completely destroy this country, which cannot even be called a country, and you and I will only be his messengers."

"Come on..." She extended her hand politely, like the most beautiful lady, "Then why not dance with me?"

"To sing the praises of his rebirth, and of Syracuse's rebirth!"

The sound of rain.

As Texas woke up from his memories, he heard the sound of rain again.

Her heart was raining and she felt very uncomfortable. Lappland's prediction was right... All along, she was the one who thought she understood him so ridiculously.

The scary thing is.

By the time she decided to do something, he no longer cared.

Texas silently watched Zhuang Ning walk to the Longmen building and saw that everyone bowed to him.

The black coat fluttered in the wind. The doctor did not return the greeting, nor did he even bow his head, just like a proud emperor treating the common people.

Until the very end, Zhuang Ning never turned around to look at her.

But she could only watch the figure disappear at the end of her sight, disappearing in the building made of concrete and glass curtain walls.

Disappeared into a place where she could not catch up and was never seen again.
