Ark, they don't revolve around you

No.

It could even be considered merciful. If possible, Zhuang Ning even wanted to send Kal'tsit to Kazdel to devote herself to the construction of the ruins. Only those who were far away from Rhodes Island would not pose a threat.

It’s a pity that Zhuang Ning is not the emperor after all, and this is the limit of what he can do as a mere doctor.

Kal'tsit held the pen in her fingertips, trembling, and remembered the man's uneasiness when he first woke up. He would not be like this at that time.

She finally signed her name, and at that moment Rhodes Island was finally handed over to Zhuang Ning. Even if Amiya came back, she could not threaten his position.

Kelsey asked herself, is this okay? This person is just a pawn for his own ends, and you no longer have the means to control him.

But the situation is pressing.

Besides, you created this evil spirit. He was not like this before he lost his memory. He just kept wandering around the earth, thinking he had companions. But when he looked back, he saw that everyone rejected him as an alien.

After signing, the pen fell to the ground, and Kal'tsit dropped her hand weakly, her already fair face turning terribly pale.

She signed, and Zhuang Ning confirmed it again and again. Finally, he picked up the contract. There was no need to stay anymore, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

Then, he felt the embrace and the faint fragrance of a woman - Kal'tsit opened her arms and hugged him as if to stop him.

A chill came over him, and Zhuang Ning looked back. The fatigue and coldness in his eyes were even greater than before. The two of them seemed to have merged into one, turning into an indestructible rock, until the man finally became a little impatient and stretched out his hand with a little force.

"Kal'tsit, I don't understand you." Zhuang Ning's voice revealed doubt, "Chen, Mostima, W... You are behind them, right?"

"Why did you let them get that close to me? Do you think I'm still the same doctor who can be controlled?"

He didn't mind questioning this woman with the worst intentions, and said coldly: "Kal'tsit, it doesn't matter if you really want Rhodes Island. When I finish everything and get rid of the shackles, this ark you built will be yours to do with as you wish."

"Before that, don't hinder me..." The evil spirit warned harshly, without even a trace of attachment.

Kal'tsit stayed where she was, watching him walk away before she sat back on the sofa.

She hugged her legs and buried her face in the gap between her knees in a cowardly manner, as if by doing so she could control her emotions that were about to explode.

...Kal'tsit, what did I do?

...What was I like before? No, no matter what I was like, it has nothing to do with me now!

Why can't you be more honest?

...Well, you still hate me, Kal'tsit.

……Ah.

...Okay, okay, let's leave it at that. We'll keep our distance. You do your thing and I do mine.

...My old self? Kal'tsit, wasn't I pretty good before? Even though you hated him so much, you still had to rely on him.

...How stupid.

...If I had realized it earlier, I wouldn't have wasted so many years.

...Oh, you said you were wrong?

...You're right, Kal'tsit, we'll maintain this relationship for Terra.

……you.

...You guys, actually always hoped that I wouldn't see you, right?

...You, have always hated that evil spirit, right?

"No." She felt suffocated. This was not like Kal'tsit, but the woman still felt very uncomfortable. There were flashes of lightning and heavy rain, and she felt cold all over, as if she was thrown into an ice storage.

“It’s not… like this.”

Who are you talking to? That person is no longer here, so you are right? That person is cruel and ruthless, shouldn't you comfort yourself that your judgment is correct? !

"wrong!"

But I was wrong. After so long, I had seen so many things. I thought that the emotions that had already cooled down had revived. Kal'tsit sobbed and let the tears fall.

She remembered the look she saw when she put the seriously injured doctor into the sarcophagus, that dying yet pure gaze, the man looking up at the sky, slowly stretching out his hand and cursing with all his might.

"It shouldn't be me."

"No, let me wake up...!"

Chapter 37: Can you dance with me?

Then, Zhuang Ning came to the deck alone.

The heavy rain was pouring down like a pillar. He spread out his hands, feeling the chill that penetrated his heart, washing away all his sins, washing away original sin and original goodness together.

So he was redeemed.

The path to salvation lies therein.

……

Like other citizens, Longmen University has been in a state of panic recently.

Wei Yanwu is about to step down, and his new position will be taken by a young girl, whom Longmen is no stranger to. It is rumored that when the Reunion Movement invaded, it was she who led the Imperial Guard to repel them.

A legendary hero, a few days ago, the newspaper published her speech in the slums, which was not plain and elegant, but more touching. The deep bow made people feel the sincerity.

Some reporters even captured her crying. Maybe she was moved?

He is indeed a young and innocent person.

It's inevitable that people would have high expectations of such a person as a leader. Lin Yuxia looked around at the people who were whispering, with helplessness on her face.

As the daughter of the Rat King, she holds many titles, including but not limited to President of the Longmen Youth Entrepreneurs Association, Administrative Advisor of the Longmen Market Supervision Bureau, and Guest Lecturer of Social Relations at Longmen Union University...

Among them, she prefers the position of lecturer at United University. If it were not for the Rat King, she would probably have chosen to become a teacher.

Lin Yuxia came this time because Longmen Union University invited a professor. The professor was a person who had become famous in Ursus recently and could speak fluent Yan Chinese.

"Teacher Kashena, come this way."

Seeing the professor in person, Lin Yuxia was even more surprised at his youth.

"Ms. Lin, there's no need to be like this." Kasheina smiled kindly and spoke casually, "I heard that Longmen is going to change its owner recently."

"Yes." Lin Yuxia nodded.

Kasheina is proficient in the history of Ursus, and she also studies the relationship between Ursus and Yan. Their fields overlap, and Lin Yuxia was soon impressed by her insightful understanding.

"Teacher Kasheina, do you think that there will inevitably be a battle between Ursus and Yan?"

"I don't want to see war. From the conclusion, Yan is also a difficult target to defeat." Kasheina shook her head, "But this is just an appearance."

"In fact, the atmosphere in Ursus is very tense. War will break out sooner or later. When that happens, Longmen may become a victim."

Lin Yuxia was already impressed.

The conflict four years ago was already a sign of war, but it was not the end, nor the beginning, but the end of the beginning.

They chatted for a long time, and Lin Yuxia felt a little embarrassed: "Teacher Kashena, I'm sorry for taking up your time."

"No, it's nice to chat with you, Miss Lin." Kashena shook her head, walked into the classroom and stepped onto the podium.

She did get the information she deserved, but there was a hint of teasing in the depths of her eyes.

This city is still so cold. Even if it is disguised in various ways, it is still the huge mouth of a dragon. Dragons are cruel creatures with great magical powers, but they never care about the life and death of mortals.

Kasheina smiled, with dimples on her face, and spread out the handout with her index finger:

"This class is about the past of Ursus and Longmen. Thank you all Longmen students for coming."

"I'm Kashena."

This Professor Ursus amazed everyone, and it was rumored that everyone who communicated with her would be impressed by her.

She was wearing a black long dress today with a white collar. It was the only white in the inky black. When she smiled, she looked like a black snake.

……

In the following week, Zhuang Ning did not meet Chen Huijie. They seemed to be avoiding each other intentionally.

Zhuang Ning's disguise was not perfect after all. When a certain word was mentioned, it was as if he was under stress. The resentment that flashed through his eyes in the blink of an eye was definitely not something that could be easily ignored.

He guessed that Chen Huijie was unwilling to meet him in the short term. Was it fear or disappointment? Perhaps it was both. Zhuang Ning put himself in her shoes and felt a little guilty for taking advantage of the girl's heart.

but.

——I can’t feel anything.

I just feel like what I’ve done isn’t perfect enough.

She really didn't understand, they were all like this...Zhuang Ning splashed cold water on her cheeks. The light was not bright, and the pale light shone on the mirror. In the mirror, there was a gentle smile on the corner of Zhuang Ning's mouth.

Every failure makes him wiser, and he will do better next time.

He returned to the room and changed into the prepared dress. This black dress was expensive and fitted his figure well, but Zhuang Ning still liked his black coat, which did not reveal a single bit of skin and wrapped him tightly.

Tonight is an important day. Wei Yanwu will announce his resignation.

He will not leave Longmen during this period of time. At the end of the year, the real dragon will issue an edict. Now it is November, and he still has a month to observe the situation in Longmen.

Zhuang Ning simulated the situation in his mind again, and left quietly after deciding that Rhodes Island's position was unshakable.

……

The banquet hall was packed with guests. Under the exquisitely decorated lights, there were pairs of gorgeous men and women, holding champagnes, chatting and laughing about all the important things.

Wei Yanwu finally chose a Victorian-style banquet as his farewell dinner. As a finale, every prominent person in Longmen came.

Zhuang Ning inadvertently glanced at everyone's face. The Minister of Transportation, the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, the Deputy Director of the Imperial Guard Bureau... Everyone was whispering timidly, watching the end of an era.

Suddenly, the band in the hall raised its tune, as if welcoming someone. The dignified man was still dressed casually, his eyes were still sharp. He had been in control of this place for more than 20 years, but this time he was not the protagonist. He let his niece walk in front.

Chen Huijie had a sword hanging from her waist and was walking on the red carpet. Every step she took, everyone's eyes followed her. People from all walks of life in Longmen were courteous to her. No one would treat her as an immature girl. In the past few months, the girl had used her own means to prove that Longmen was hers, and she would not allow any usurpation of her dignity.

Perhaps it was because the dress was tight around her waist, Chen Huijie looked particularly charming tonight. Her skirt was trailing on the ground, and she was dressed in black. She looked around with her eyes, as if the emperor was looking around at her subjects.

"Everyone." Chen Huijie raised the champagne, "As always, don't be restrained."

"Longmen will still be the gateway to Dayan. May Longmen become better!"

Applause broke out like rain.

Another person who applauded was Zhuang Ning. He was not a noticeable person, but the girl still spotted him at a glance even among thousands of people.

She is beautiful tonight.
