Five Hundred and Eighty-Six People Who Disappeared

"Hehe. Ronan, you have learned from Max badly."

There was a playful chuckle on the other end of the phone. Ronan didn't like this kind of laughter, and he felt a sense of repulsion on the psychological level, which was nauseating.

It felt as if he was facing a clown, and his every move was a childish joke in the eyes of the clown. The arrogance in the other party's bones is expressed without concealment, and he judges and examines condescendingly, not caring whether his attitude will hurt the other party.

In other words, it was their original intention to sting the other party.

Well, he succeeded.

Because Ronan was stung, caught off guard, and felt that deep sense of rejection from the depths of his soul, he didn't like this feeling very, very much.

However, Ronan did not panic.

Not only did he not, but he quickly cheered up after feeling the sharp sting, and launched a counterattack without stopping or hesitating.

Even Ronan didn't figure out what happened now.

"Mister Unknown, are you Michael Jackson reborn or Martin Luther King Jr.? If not, you shouldn't expect me to be able to tell from an unknown number The identity of the electrical object is not as important as you think."

Smiling and ridiculing, talking and laughing happily but hiding the needle.

As Ophelia said, Ronan changed too.

You don’t even need to look back at the long-term memories of your college days. Even if you compare it with the summer in New Orleans last year, Ronan has changed a lot. He is gradually regaining the sharpness and sharpness before he was deaf, and the world has escaped into the endless The publicity and wantonness before the darkness.

Especially after the Coachella Music Festival, Ronan once again felt the madness and heat of the end of the world, confidence and pride seemed to be injected into the blood again, the haze shrouded in the depths of the soul dissipated a little, and the shackles of traveling through time and space were loosening , slowly releasing the original self.

It's been a long time.

However, the man on the other end of the phone was not a light-hearted man either. Facing Ronan's attack, he chuckled again, as if seeing a child playing.

"Hehe, still a kid after all. Why would you answer a call from a stranger if you don't know who I am? You don't have to pretend to be indifferent and shut me out, you know, you're not Max, you can Own your own thoughts and make your own decisions."

There is something in the words.

Meaningful.

Vaguely, Ronan caught some clues in the memory deep in his mind, as if he had found the truth, but there was still no wavering on the surface, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he gave a chuckle.

"I've heard of such a person, as long as someone looks at him, whether it's a man or a woman, he will feel that the other party is fascinated by his charm, and then point out Jiang Shan, don't like me."

"But as everyone knows, in the eyes of passers-by, he is just a psychopath. I was not sure of the existence of this kind of person, but now I have finally seen it. Mr. Unknown, the earth does not revolve around you."

Light, heavy punch.

Gentle and sharp.

This kind of Ronan seems to have turned on the full-scale offensive mode, with all the spikes erected all over his body, and launched an indiscriminate attack. Not to mention the past year, even in this life and the previous life, he has not felt such a state for a long time. Ronan, as if finally breaking free from the shackles.

"..."

On the other end of the phone, there was a moment of silence, as if they hadn't expected Ronan's full firepower at all, but the other party didn't panic - at least from the perspective of breathing rhythm, it still remained stable, it just needed a little time to change its position and attitude, because Ronan's The reaction completely disrupted the preset plan.

one second. two seconds.

"Johnathan-Hansen."

After a brief silence, the other end of the phone spoke again, bowed his head softly for the first time, and finally introduced himself—in the first round of confrontation, Ronan finally had the upper hand.

However, the advantage is only temporary.

Jonathan Hansen, just a name, passed it lightly, but it hit Ronan's mind hard, stirring up layers of ripples.

The stormy sea is roaring.

Ronan couldn't remember how long he hadn't heard this name, five years? ten years? or longer?

Not only being Ronan, but also the memory of "Ronan-Cooper"; moreover, at this time Ronan can still feel the sadness and pain in the depths of the memory, a sense of rejection in the subconscious Outburst like this, he couldn't even hide the disgust in his eyes.

Jonathan Hansen, biologically, should be called Ronan's father.

A person who disappears.

In 2001, for many ordinary families living in the North American continent, it was a year of parting. The outbreak of the "911 Incident" caused countless tragedies.

Similarly, for the three Ronan brothers and sisters, they also "lost" their father forever, but it was not a farewell by death, but a separation by life, a separation of self-choice.

That year, Jonathan abandoned his wife and children and ran away from home, and went to San Francisco to start a new family with a third party. At that time, Jonathan was already forty-six years old, while the third party was only twenty years old. Said it was only four years older; and, since then, it has never appeared again.

After that, "Ronan Hansen" became "Ronan Cooper"; moreover, the burden of the Cooper family was borne by Max.

So... the last time I heard the news, it should have been twelve years ago?

Ronan, a little uncertain, because the time is too long and too long, so that the memory is completely blurred, and it is difficult to identify it accurately.

After many years, the person who disappeared reappeared again, and still in such a sudden way, so why?

The most absurd thing is his attitude, a natural and condescending attitude, as if after so many years of contacting again, Ronan should still remember him, and even be grateful to Dade, that kind of tough attitude that completely ignores the long time blank is so righteous , It doesn't even make people angry, they just find it funny, ridiculous, and ridiculous.

As far as Ronan was concerned, his first reaction was to hang up the phone. Whether it was five years or ten years, everything was already hidden in the depths of his memory. He was not at all curious about the reason why this name called today; Staying in place, failed to really ignore it.

Deep in my heart... an uncontrollable emotion arises spontaneously, not anticipation, but fetters, fidgety but lingering fetters.

Now he can fully feel the emotions and emotions of Ronan Cooper, it seems that the soul has been completely entangled, and he only maintains a little part of his sanity. After all, what Ronan Cooper experienced, he never Personal experience is just emotional resonance, empathy.

So how should it be described at this time?

Mixed feelings.

complex.

It's hard to say.

Should he hang up the phone?
