Ark, they don't revolve around you

The man called the girl's name, pulled her up, and walked into the nave of the church together.

The wooden chairs for sacrifices were arranged neatly, but there were not many people sitting on them. There were not many religious believers in Longmen, but the church was still grand. There was a cross on the tall altar, and the light came through the stained glass dome, divided into pieces and sprinkled down.

In the burning dream, Zhuang Ning spoke.

"Soon, you will be the city lord."

"You'll be carrying a lot...it's going to be heavy."

"I'm not a great person, and there's not much I can do... but I will stand behind you."

He turned his head, his dark eyes filled with the light of dusk, "We won't separate easily, even if I leave..."

Chen Huijie's nose felt sore, and scenes of past memories emerged. There was the deck at dusk, when he was alone watching the setting sun, and there was the dawn, when he woke up in the center, and there was no one there, and complete silence.

This person, is just like this...

Even though I'm so lonely, I still try to warm your heart.

She cried and sobbed.

Happiness and joy are intertwined, guilt and relief are entangled.

The priest of Rutland came over and saw a girl crying. The people around her wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start. The priest naturally put the hands of the two people together and glared at the man with a slightly reproachful look: "This is not a place for a date."

In the Lateran teachings, only couples who wish to share the rest of their lives should enter into union together.

Zhuang Ning had no intention of explaining, as if he acquiesced.

"Don't forget why we are here." He reminded in a low voice, "We are here to pray for those who are dying..."

"Yeah." Chen Huijie wiped away some tears.

Looking up at the holy image, her mind was full of thoughts. She did not pray for the criminals, but only hoped to mend the scars of sin. Her smile was sincere.

Zhuang Ning was also laughing.

The difference is that he was praying for himself, and the gentleness in his eyes faded away little by little...

How beautiful.

But such beauty is false, they won't revolve around you, it's just a show.

Lord, if you could really hear me.

……No.

I never hope for your forgiveness. How can an idol-like god forgive my sins!

in case.

If you don't allow me to go home, I will definitely smash you to pieces...

Chapter 30 Not necessary

"Hey, Powder Dragon!"

Chen Huijie came back to her senses and immediately saw Shi Huaiya's sharp gaze, as if interrogating her. The little tiger's attitude was particularly sharp: "Don't be in a daze, there is so much work to do!"

"Oh."

"Oh fuck, it's just that you met him and spent some time alone with him, and you..." Shi Huaiya was heartbroken, her tone a little sour, and Chen Huijie could even hear a little sadness in her voice.

"It's just staying with him for a while, is it that serious..." She pouted.

"Barbecued pork cat." Chen Huijie turned his head.

"What? You want to fight? Am I afraid of you?" Shi Huaiya straightened his chest and raised his head, grinning, and made a boxing stance.

Chen Huijie smiled slightly: "Thank you."

This thank you really confused the little tiger. He reached out and touched Chen Huijie's head, with a serious face: "No problem, why don't you go to the hospital to take a look?"

"No." Chen Huijie stared at him, "It's really just a thank you."

"that's it?"

"Once this is over, let's go to Rhodes Island to see the doctor. He is also very busy, and perhaps we can help him." The future successor of Lungmen said with great seriousness.

Shi Huaiya felt as if struck by lightning, and his fingertips trembled involuntarily.

"You are not the Chen Huijie I know!" She grabbed her friend's hand again, "Officer Chen, how could you say such a thing? Tell me, have you been possessed by another spirit?!"

"You're the one who's been possessed!" Chen Huijie glared at him, "You're either going or not, or I'll go alone!"

"Then I will definitely go." Shi Huaiya's momentum softened, and he curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, and all the worries in his heart disappeared.

There are still many people to deal with. Once the gang issues are resolved, we should prepare to have the Guards move into the slums.

This was a big project. Back then, Chen Huijie was still a fledgling police officer. She had had such an idea and was nearly killed by a big boss in the slums. She was eventually infected with oripathy.

But now he is here, the doctor will clear away those obstacles. Although he looks gentle, he never holds back on his enemies. In the future, Longmen will be completely new, and she will naturally be able to make up for her past mistakes.

Chen Huijie's fingers touched the map, and his expression was gentle, which surprised everyone.

Everything will be fine, she thought, smiling quietly.

……

"Will everything be alright?"

Ghetto.

The sound of sharpening a knife echoed in the dilapidated house. The man was sharpening the blade in his hand, and the whetstone made a fierce scraping sound.

Opposite him stood a girl, the Originium sword in her hand hanging down, with streams of blood flowing.

The blood was bright red, and she picked up the cloth and wiped it carelessly.

"Texas, let me ask you a question..." the man began, "How long has it been since you killed someone?"

"One year."

"It's been more than a year. You didn't kill anyone in Syracuse." The man said coldly, "You are different from that madman in Laplande. You don't resist killing, but you don't want to kill. You always feel that it will disrupt your peace, right?"

"..."

"Silent, you are always silent. Even after your family was destroyed, your story was still circulating in Syracuse. One man, two swords, and the siege of twelve families." The man sharpened the knife and scraped it against his wrist guard.

Then, he stared at her intently, "No one knows how you survived. Anyway, you came to Longmen, got tired of fighting, put away your fangs, and became a ridiculous porter and courier..."

"If you think it would please you to repeat my past, you may tell me more."

With murderous intent rising in his heart, Texas stood up, his posture still lazy, but his hands had already grasped the hilts of the two swords.

Such Originium swords are not sharp, but rather blunt, and far less sharp than metal ones. Generally, no one uses them. However, this is not a problem for her. Texas is a natural Syracuse who has learned the art of killing since childhood. In her hands, even toys can become the sharpest weapons.

"How scary! You don't look as strong as Lappland, but when you really want to kill, you're even scarier..."

The whisper faded away.

Finally, the man straightened his back and faced this terrifying monster.

"I heard that you returned to Syracuse a year ago."

"You could have stayed there, and still returned to this peaceful Longmen, enjoying your ordinary and boring days..." The man held the sword, and the blade rubbed against the ground, sparking sparks.

He smiled, his face grim: "What made you want to kill again? Was it that doctor from Rhodes Island? Because I had someone assassinate him?!"

Stupid!

The blade buzzed.

The blade-like wind hit him, and the man was hit by the storm. He slowly retreated and lowered his eyes, only to see several Originium swords inserted into his lungs.

She is worthy of being the best killer in Syracuse. When she really intends to kill someone, ordinary people have no time to react at all.

The man fell to his knees.

Texas pulled out the sword from his body and swung it casually, causing blood to spurt out. The blood was winding and shocking, but it did not stain the woman at all.

She is still as beautiful in that red dress today, like a flower.

"Yes," the man said. "It's beautiful."

"You should have died when you sent someone to kill Shi Huaiya." Perhaps the mission was completed, Texas lit a cigarette, "But you shouldn't have hurt him."

"Zhuang Ning... We are not stupid enough to attack him, Texas." The man spat out another mouthful of blood. He was such a tough guy that he was still laughing before he died. "You are killing me for him..."

"Celinina Texas, in the end, you are still a ridiculous woman. Why would he need you for revenge? A man like him would not allow others to avenge himself..."

"That's all." His smile stopped, and he suddenly roared at the top of his lungs, "You will not be redeemed, the Lone Wolf of Texas!"

Texas didn't hear it, threw away the cigarette butt, and threw down the lighter in his hand.

The flames rose up and quickly reached the living man, engulfing him in flames.

Texas acted as if he didn't see anything, and quietly walked to his car, touching the hood of the car.

A sound was heard.

"Um, Texas?"

A familiar voice. Texas admitted that he was a little timid, but he still raised his head.

Then I saw a pair of eyes. They were so dark, as if it was a starless night, but when they were squinted, they exuded a slight warmth.

Zhuang Ning glanced at the burning house and asked, "Did you do it?"

"Yes."

"There's no need for this." He approached alone, put his hands on the girl's shoulders, and leaned down.

"You didn't have to do it yourself. He would have died soon anyway."

The tone is so soft.

Just like before, when he comforted her in Syracuse.

Chapter 31 If He Changes Back

A soothing melody sounded, with an ancient sadness. Before coming to Longmen, Texas often listened to such music. Syracuse is a country with a long rainy season, and it is always filled with sadness and elegance.

"You killed a lot of people today." Zhuang Ning turned his head and asked, "Are you taking revenge for me?"
