Ark, they don't revolve around you

Zhuang Ning stroked his forehead with his hand.

Why are there so many people with self-destructive tendencies around me?

Death? Death is of course a relief, but if death could end everything, he would have died long ago, right? Why did he have to become a demon that he could never have imagined in the past, like now?

Lavinia was unaware that there was someone behind her, and her mood was still fluctuating with the music.

She remembered a lot, from her birth to her growth, to the moment she came into contact with the code, Lavinia vowed to defend justice.

But all these things that she valued were as thin as paper, and eventually became tools of those in power.

Ideals are weathered and finally corroded, and death may be the best destination, just a moment, just a little pain.

The dagger was just a little bit away from piercing her throat, and then it slipped slightly, drawing out a large amount of her blood, and everything was over.

But there was a hand on her shoulder.

Lavinia turned her head and felt a crisp sound on the side of her face, followed by clear pain.

Someone slapped her, quite hard and mercilessly.

"Are you feeling better?" The one who fanned the man smiled.

"you……"

"I'll continue until it's healed." Zhuang Ning said indifferently, "Lavinia, I guess you know that your condition is not right."

"I... feel very tired."

"Everyone is tired." Zhuang Ning sneered.

After a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and said, "Lavinia, I don't like you - or rather, I used to like you very much, but now I like you less and less."

"People like you think you are so noble and want to change the world, but you can't do anything, and you always look down on others."

Eyes facing each other.

He sighed softly: "But I still can't let you die. Do you know why?"

Tears streamed down Lavinia's face because she knew what Zhuang Ning said without disguising it.

At this moment he was neither as cold as a king nor as cunning as a thief.

Without the nobility of a saint, it's like being helpless and coldly saying, "Because people like you must have it!"

"As long as there are bad people in this world, there must be good people. Fools like you are as disgusting to me as those who only know how to do evil. But just as I must accommodate some evil people, I must also unite you!"

The balance cannot be tilted, where there are bad people there must be good people.

Besides, you can't die because of these little things. Do you know how much effort some people have put into nurturing you?

"Lavinia, do you know how much effort it takes to train a judge like you?"

"How much resources did your adoptive father invest in you, bringing you to Columbia to study law and witness the best judges and lawyers? And you want to die. It's a waste!"

Lavinia laughed: "Is that what you think? Just like the capitalists in Colombia, they want to squeeze out my surplus value."

"I said I won't force you."

"You have clearly been forcing me to use my hands to suppress dissidents."

"Disgusted? Then resist, Lavinia." Zhuang Ning let her go.

The judge slumped to the ground and laughed, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

But before she could relax, the street ahead became lively.

People are led to have evil thoughts and no longer conceal their desires. This is the "freedom" that Zhuang Ning hates the most, and it is also the reason why he hates Arturo.

Freedom is always relative.

Just like a wolf pack must obey the call of the wolf king, once a group is formed and there is order, then there is power.

People are the sum of social relationships, but that woman tried to free people from this shackles and seek true love...

Even though her intentions were good, this behavior still made Zhuang Ning feel deeply uncomfortable.

From this point of view, Zhuang Ning and Arturo are natural enemies.

But now he is glad for Arturo's arrival.

At this juncture, I have learned how to use Originium techniques, and I have a great experiment just in time to try out my theory.

Lappland came, bringing a cello and Originium.

"Doctor, you're not really going to... play the violin?"

Even Lavinia, who was depressed just now, suddenly became alert.

Obviously, she also recalled the fear of being dominated by Zhuang Ning's singing, and the shame of being imprisoned in that completely out-of-tune music.

"We are all family, why should I speak up?" Zhuang Ning was also a little angry.

What's wrong with being tone-deaf? Can't I just give it a try?

He ignored the two men and instead grasped the crystal clear source stone.

He crushed it in front of the two men and swallowed it.

Anyone who saw this action would think it was crazy, but it was incredible. Zhuang Ning thought it was so good that he even wanted to drill his brain with his fingers.

He didn't do that. He just quietly pulled the bow, imitating the movements of the cellist he saw that year.

Unexpectedly, there was no harsh devilish music. On the contrary, the music was extremely peaceful.

And this voice was also captured by Arturo, his lips opened and his face turned pale.

——Just watching his hands uncontrollably play another song.

Like a puppet in a Syracuse puppet show.

Chapter 10: Witch, I want you to help me practice

It is an indisputable fact that Zhuang Ning is the most in-depth expert in Originium research in the world, although Zhuang Ning himself does not like the word "expert".

During the time when Zhuang Ning recovered from the sarcophagus, he witnessed the formula regarding Originium and couldn't help but feel like crying.

Originium is the foundation for the continuation of Terra civilization. More than ten thousand years ago, when the first Tikaz came into contact with the original Originium and studied the original witchcraft, the gears of fate began to move.

However, as the person who has done the most in-depth research on Originium, Zhuang Ning cannot use magic. He is almost isolated from Originium and is even worse than the infected.

This is a very strange thing, full of irrationality.

It was not until the wolf mother returned the memory to Zhuang Ning that the broken thread was finally connected.

When the source stone was swallowed, every cell seemed to be stimulated, the brain was trembling, and a vast amount of knowledge gushed out.

The knowledge that was previously only presented in theory has finally been integrated with reality.

The gears are speeding up, speeding up, speeding up... From the head to the soles of the feet, every part of the body can feel it.

Looking down at the existence called spell from another higher dimension!

Arturo is undoubtedly an extremely good magician, especially in her field - telepathy, which is arguably the most difficult spell system.

Telepathy spells are related to the mind. For example, someone can judge a person's nature by looking at his or her shadow.

For example, some people can sense the emotions of others and even detect an entity called "spirit" through those emotions.

For this kind of magic, effort is a joke. True genius is often born, and Arturo Giallo is undoubtedly the best among them. When she pulls her bow, thousands of creatures will evoke the essence of their souls.

But for Zhuang Ning, the structure and prototype of this spell were exposed in a special form.

It seems like I can grasp it just by reaching out.

But Zhuang Ning didn't do so. He knew one thing very well: the Wolf Mother had opened the door for him, but he lacked some experience in magic.

The magic system that Terra has evolved over tens of thousands of years is too huge, and mastering them one by one is a very time-consuming project.

——In that case, why not steal other people’s spells?

Zhuang Ning's hands were playing the cello. He had no experience with the instrument, but at this moment, even the best musicians could not find fault with Zhuang Ning's movements.

He closed his eyes, listened to the music that filled the atmosphere, a quiet smile on his face.

well.

This music theory is still the emotion hidden deep inside the magic.

All these things pointed to one place, which was undoubtedly where Arturo was.

Zhuang Ning took the initiative to open himself up and let Arturo's music take over him.

Instead, his consciousness followed the sound of the music and found Arturo's real body.

——At that moment, depend on it!

Arturo's hands suddenly became out of control, like a computer being hacked.

She seemed to see a pair of eyes, staring at her quietly.

The owner of the eyes said, "You can play another piece of music with more magnificent sounds."

So Arturo was forced to play another note.

Those eyes belonged to Zhuang Ning. His consciousness, his spirit, and his soul all descended into Arturo's body at this moment!

The scary thing is that Arturo has no idea that his mind has been usurped and he can still feel his own existence!

There are Originium skills that can be used to manipulate others in this world, such as Mephisto of the Integration Movement, who can control his herd through Originium.

But Arturo is different. She should be the best magician, but at this moment she is like a child who has heard the magic flute and is unable to fight back.

Zhuang Ning was immersed in the hacking process. It was a subtle feeling as if he had descended into Arturo's spirit.

Rather than control, it would be more accurate to say it was synchronization. Arturo kept sending documents, including music theory knowledge, and Zhuang Ning kept receiving and giving feedback.

In fact, if someone could observe the two of them at the same time, they would find that Zhuang Ning and Arturo's rhythm were the same!

Not only is the rhythm consistent, but even the breathing, the amplitude and strength of pulling the bow, even the standing posture and expression are exactly the same!

It's simply like another person, except that in this process, Zhuang Ning is the leader and Arturo is in complete passivity.

When Zhuang Ning doesn't like the music that Arturo suggests, he is qualified to suggest more!

To put it in more common terms, it means the boss changed the disc, right?
