Chapter 575 Respect Those Who Want to Kill Me

Until nightfall.

Delphinium and Lang Yan went to the sanatorium after making all preparations. I found Russell and Kamal Se II having dinner in the restaurant.

And Russell ordered them in advance. It's not the synthetic food sold on other empty islands. The ingredients, without exception, all come from land and sea.

"...It's really amazing."

The white lion sighed and huddled in the small private room chair, looking at the sumptuous food in front of the table with a complicated expression.

Russell knew why he felt outrageous. Because "natural food" is extremely expensive in other islands, but it is completely free in this sanatorium. That’s it for “clients” like Xiaoya, and “directors” like Russell and Kamalse II.

Even their "guests" can freely enjoy these natural ingredients that are extremely expensive outside.

Just realizing this made Mahavira frown and feel a little unable to eat.

"Don't worry about little things like that."

Russell suddenly said: "Because that kind of thing is inherently neither valuable nor delicious."

He easily read the white lion's thoughts. This was not because Russell read his mind... but because Strangler had always lacked the ability to hide his feelings. He always writes his feelings directly on his face.

"...I thought it was because my rough and barbed tongue couldn't taste the essence of fine food."

"No, it's because food synthesis technology has completely surpassed breeding technology."

Russell shook his head: "In the beginning, it was probably to keep the 'Spiritual Kin' plan from changing due to sudden ideological trends, and the advanced gene modulation technology of the ancestors was completely sealed. Only relying on the breeding technology developed from scratch, It is impossible to keep the variety from deteriorating. This kind of 'natural food' cannot be better in taste and nutrition than the food synthesis technology given by the dragon.

"On the first day I arrived at Happy Island, I ate this so-called 'natural food'. But its taste comes more from advanced cooking techniques, utensils and seasonings. That is the so-called 'being money' Pile out' the flavor.

“But if we really want to talk about the quality of the ingredients themselves, it’s not even as good as the Tomahawk steak that Delphinium and I bought in the supermarket.”

Kamal Se II on the side also nodded when he heard this.

The knowledge existed in her memory.

“The most advanced synthetic meat is one that removes trimethylamine, hydrogen sulfide, and various volatile fatty acids while maintaining uniform distribution of muscle fiber and fat. Through extensive experiments, we confirm the optimal taste and fat content, and Preventive measures against microorganisms have been taken. Various nutrients needed by the human body are directly poured into the fat.

"According to different people's preferences, there are six categories of steak bites, a total of 36 levels, and 13 levels of fat content. Just the common fish and shrimp artificial meat, there are more than 40 different levels. type. The fishbones and bones are removed, and the fishy smell is also removed. You can eat the meat in large chunks... You can make fish balls with pure fish fillings without any pre-processing and puree them directly. This technology , once upon a time existed only in people’s best imagination about the future.

"The value of food does not depend on its place of origin, the bloodline of the livestock, or its fat content and distribution. All food is fresh, and there is no difference in value due to differences in transportation and storage methods. . From this point of view, at least in terms of ingredients, a 'fair situation' has been reached, and it is far better than natural ingredients."

"But people think that those rare ingredients are the real good things - because elves like to eat them, they must be good. If you can't eat them, it means your tongue is not advanced enough."

Russell sarcastically said: "They haven't considered...are the elves who really can't adapt to new things? Their hobbies and souls are solidified together. For ordinary people, habits that can be quickly developed are not for them. But it can't be changed at all.

"Only cats and dogs think that what people eat is good food. I always thought that people have to have some judgment of their own, but obviously this is not the case."

"Neither do dogs."

Delphinium came to the side and said seriously: "Don't bully dogs."

Russell smiled helplessly, reached out and rubbed her head.

"People hate elves on the surface and fear elves in their hearts, but subconsciously they want to become elves more than anyone else. With a little rationality, people can realize that 'becoming part of the monkey-faced eagle' is equivalent to self-destruction; But what if you 'become an elf'?

"Under such temptation, how many people can still maintain their original position?"

"If it were me before," Delphinium answered after thinking seriously, "I think I might really become an elf.

"If I just give up my dreams and change my stance, I can let my parents live a good and comfortable life, and let them live in peace and wealth until they grow old; they can surely gain a long and healthy life span of hundreds or even thousands of years; From now on, I can do whatever I want, without worrying about time and life corrupting my soul...

"I think I should have no reason to refuse. After all, compared with reality, dreams are so fragile..."

"It's okay, it's not shameful."

Russell sighed: "If it were me before, I would probably choose this way."

Whether it was before or after he awakened his past life memories, Russell was a living person. In other words, he studied hard before so that he could enjoy life one day in the future. Apart from that, what will happen to other people and what will happen to the world in the future has nothing to do with him - unless it is a tragedy that happens in front of him, he will have to care about it. What will happen decades or hundreds of years later have to do with him?

But now, he is sitting here with his friends. He plans to use his own flesh and blood to fight against the demon king who can devour the world.

……how so.

In the end...when did Russell give up the idea of ​​living his own small life in a down-to-earth manner?

"I really miss it."

Russell sighed: "It's only been a year..."

Russell, who can easily see into the hearts of others, does not even realize which event or moment he started to change invisibly.

Is it Pope, Monkey-Faced Eagle, Sheath, Camarse; or Delphinium, Bad Sun, Inferior, Emperor, Strangler, Bird of Paradise...or Xiao Liuli, Hua Mingshu, Morgan and Sai Lun?

——Now that I think about it, it should be all of them.

From that mediocre mortal, he truly became a "hero".

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is your birthday, Ultramarine."

Lang Yan suddenly said: "What birthday gift do you want? The death of the monkey-faced eagle...is that okay?"

"Don't give someone a head on your birthday. It feels unlucky."

"I'd like to state in advance that if the gift you want is too weird, it won't be easy to find it on Yongquan Island."

"Just a blessing...I will get married to Delphinium tomorrow. As for the wedding, I plan to wait until I return to Happy Island. Then I will bring Bing Shui and Xia, as well as my uncle and the old man."

Russell suddenly showed a bad smile: "If you really want to give a gift, why don't you accompany me to get the certificate?"

"...Why does it still have to do with me?"

Strangler on the side suddenly felt that he had been stabbed for no reason.

He quibbled a bit: "I didn't say I wanted to give you a gift. I haven't had a birthday in so many years."

"Didn't you eat all the cake today?"

"That's what Xiaoya bought for me!"

"It's all the same. As a reward for thanking me, you also gave me a share. That means you ate my birthday cake in advance. Since you have eaten the cake, you have to give me some gifts. And, according to what I have said to you The understanding of two pieces of wood, if you leave it alone, you will definitely be able to drag it away."

Russell knocked on the table with his knuckles: "This is too unkind to girls. Keeping it on like this is a drain on feelings and makes people feel uneasy."

"No, no."

The white lion shook his head repeatedly, obviously still retaining reason: "How old is Xiaoya? Don't try to lie to me. You want to find a group of reporters to torture me. I won't be fooled. What's more, Xiaoya is already hospitalized .”

"Tsk."

Seeing that Strangler was not fooled, Russell smacked his lips. He really wanted to use Lang Yan as an excuse to kick and strangle him. If he really agreed smoothly, then in the next few months or even years, there would be topics to ridicule him.

But why did this stupid lion become smarter after falling in love?

So Russell had no choice but to turn around and say: "He can forget it, but you - Lang Yan. You even have a child."

"But we have only known each other for three days! I don't even know her real name, and I have never met her parents, relatives, or friends!"

"But your child is one month old. The number of months is the same as that of a delphinium," Russell argued, "You don't want to be an irresponsible father like your father, right?"

"...Wait a minute, let me touch it first."

Lang Yan felt a little pain in his head.

He felt a little confused and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Although he could be said to have fallen in love with Kamalse II at first sight, after all, there was no understanding between the two people.

...No, it doesn’t seem to be the case. After all, his understanding of Kamalse is quite deep.

However, this child is already pregnant...

It seemed like he couldn't just ignore it. Because he does not dislike Lothar, and can even be said to be his favorite among the opposite sexes he has come into contact with.

...But, but.

I am twenty-seven years old but have never been in love. I always feel that I have skipped too many plots in my life. It's like impatiently pressing SKIP while playing a game. After skipping the plot animation, you find that there is suddenly a cub beside you. My mind suddenly went blank.

——Where did this come from?

"Losa, why don't you tell me?"

Russell saw Lang Yan getting entangled, and then looked at Kamal Se II.

The elf girl with long black hair glanced at the young man who was shaking his head beside him and seemed to feel that his antlers were heavy, and turned his head slightly.

"...I don't want to force Shabi anymore. Kamalse has hurt him too many times."

She was a little disappointed, and seemed a little unhappy. She was silent for a while, and then whispered seriously: "If he doesn't want to, then forget it... I'm sorry, I was too self-assertive before.

"If you find it unacceptable, I can also dissolve the child again - please don't worry, it is also part of my destiny, so it can also be regarded as a fragment of my soul. It is not alive in this state. I can also recycle it at any time..."

"...No, I'm fine. I'm sorry, I just...I didn't adjust my mentality for the moment. But I will try my best to adjust..."

Hearing Kamalse II say such words, the inferior refused almost reflexively: "It's better to give birth to the child, because I..."

He paused and gritted his teeth.

At that moment, he vaguely felt a throbbing in his heart.

"——Because I will definitely be a good father, absolutely!"

He almost gritted his teeth and said with great determination: "Absolutely - different from that man! I will never... hurt you like he hurt his mother, and I will never hurt you like he hurt me... … No, harm our children.”

Looking at this scene, Russell hesitated for a moment.

Is this also a kind of love?

Can the hatred and fear of the past be turned into a kind of love...

A girl who has committed sins and does not want to repeat them; a young man who has suffered himself and does not want others to suffer for the same reason.

"...You guys really look alike."

Russell exclaimed: "In every sense of the word."

- But this is not love. He can be sure.

The two people who were bound together by a fate called "Kamalse" had already kissed, had children, and even got married...but their love had just begun.

It is a different type of love from that of Hangsha and Xiaoya - the two of them are the sacred love of each other's redeemers, one saves the other's soul, and the other saves the other's life.

Lang Yan and Lothar were like lovers drawn by fate.

They were two cautious souls testing each other. They both love each other subconsciously, but they will hurt each other subconsciously; they hope they can understand each other, but they are afraid of hurting each other unconsciously... This can never be repeated again, the miraculous relationship before "getting to know each other" "In love".

Because of the existence of "Kamalser", the two of them almost understood most of each other's personalities when they met each other for the first time. Like a father and son who have been together for more than 20 years.

But at the same time, the other person is not exactly the same person in their memory. Kamalse does not know that the inferior has become a "silent voice" and has become mature now; the inferior also does not know the past of the girl who constitutes the main part of the personality of "Camalcer II".

They are extremely familiar with each other, yet completely unfamiliar.

"It turns out that there really is love at first sight."

Delphinium whispered in Russell's ear: "I remember you told me that it was just for sex."

"There must be something like this."

Russell also argued in a low voice. "I came up with a great metaphor - it's like they are paper people for each other."

"It's so weird, but it seems so appropriate..."

"Right."

Just as Russell and Delphinium were whispering, Lang Yan and Lothar looked at each other in silence, and White Lion was eating the food boredly, the door to the private room suddenly opened.

This shouldn't be possible - this is the highest level sanatorium in the world. Even a cyber hacker of Delphinium's level cannot open the security lock of this private room without making any noise.

But it seemed reasonable to him again.

Because what came through the door was a middle-aged man wearing a simple black robe with black cloth bands tied around his eyes.

After he entered, he found an empty seat and sat down. Then he poured himself a glass of wine - no one except Hangzhou had touched the wine on the table. Because except him, no one here drank.

It was the empty seat facing the door, between the Hanged and the Inferior.

After he sat down, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant and heavy.

The smile on Russell's face disappeared instantly. He looked at the man silently but did not speak. Lang Yan frowned and stared at the man as well. Kamal Se II clenched his fists nervously and was also prepared for emergency rewind. The white lion, on the other hand, didn't even raise his head. He just looked down at his fingers and picked at his nails. After a long time, he reached out and grabbed a piece of meat pie, chewing it slowly.

Because they all know this guy.

Traitor of Babel, Russell's father, Alice's husband - the "sheath" who killed the dragon. The sharpest knife in the Cyber ​​Church, the main force in killing the monkey-faced eagle... and also the top assassin capable of killing any one of them in an instant.

He was sitting here, looking a little decadent between his brows and eyes, but his temperament was like the night wind that made people nervous unconsciously.

"Are you getting married?"

Sheath suddenly asked: "Is it your birthday?"

——You still know my birthday?

Russell originally thought he would mock like this. But he finally opened his mouth, saying nothing or answering.

Delphinium raised her head and glanced at Russell's expression, but also pursed her lips and did not answer.

"Have you gone back to see Alice? You should have gone back. The Pope told me that he has seen you."

Sheath was talking to herself, as if she was talking to herself or to the wine glass in her hand: "Getting married... is pretty good. You should be the same age as Russell today, right, Delphinium?" It was time to get married, and Alice married me when she was just eighteen. Russell came along not long after that.

"We thought it would continue like this..."

After Sheath finished speaking, there was still silence on the table.

On the dining table that was filled with laughter and laughter before, there was only the sound of Strangler slowly chewing food.

The silence lasted for nearly five minutes before she drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

That's a very high alcohol content. Not long after drinking it, Sheath's face immediately started to turn red.

"You have a good career now and have your own dreams. I won't stop you..."

Sheath whispered: "But don't be like me. Don't do things that will make you regret... don't do things that will hurt the people who love you.

"No matter what, protect yourself. Because someone loves you, because there are still people who need you to love.

"Don't be a loser like me, Russell."

"--absolute."

Russell raised his head and said clearly and clearly, "I will never be you."

Sheath also raised her head silently and looked at Russell through the black cloth.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face.

He poured Russell's wine and then himself.

"Let's raise a glass."

Sheath raised her voice, or declared.

"-To those who want to kill me."

Russell silently raised the wine glass and stared at the sheath through the wine glass.

The first one to react was Delphinium.

She poured herself half a glass of wine and raised her glass.

Next comes the inferior. Then Kamalthe II. Finally, there is strangulation.

When everyone at the table raised their glasses, Sheath still didn't drink the glass of wine.

"——It just so happens that there is still enough for one cup."

A lazy voice sounded: "Then there's no need to pour the wine, this jug belongs to me..."

The door opened again, and a man with a pair of white dog ears and a cold diamond-sensing prosthetic eye on his left eye stepped out from behind the door.

It's a bad day.

His mere presence put pressure on Russell.

Russell knew immediately that Bad Day had transcended the Leviathan Wall—truly becoming a special being that transcended time.

He grabbed the wine bottle with only its bottom remaining, and stared at the sheath the whole time. It's like if you look away you will make him disappear.

"Long time no see...teacher."

"...Long time no see, Nanliu Jing."

Sheath slowly put down the wine glass, as if she had a lot to say.

But in the end he remained silent and said nothing.

"-To those who want to kill me."

Sheath declared again, raised the glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone at the table drank their wine at the same time.

Or an update of 6,000 words——

This is an update from yesterday (the 25th). I was originally going to ask for leave today (the 26th) because it’s my sister’s birthday today and I have to accompany her for two meals at noon and evening + watch The Wandering Earth, so I’m asking for leave today. I’m so busy during the New Year. Meow.

But I still have to update it - because yesterday's update was not finished, it was postponed to today (
