Chapter 259 The Incubator, 07:52 am
"Actually... you don't need to resign," Rosie said a little stumbled, he realized that what he said just now was too much, he has been immersed in grief for two days, only caring about his own sadness, without taking into account the feelings of others,"I don't doubt your political loyalty, I just, just..."
"This is my personal decision, and it has nothing to do with your attitude towards me." Parisa shook her head lightly, "The reason why I continue to stay here has disappeared. I joined the 'Surgery' in the first place for you, ScarletI stayed after Christmas to kill Victor and overthrow Robert, and now that most of my wishes have been fulfilled, I have nothing left to pursue."
He didn't say "All wishes come true" because the last wish of his life stood before him.It's just that the other party is as untouchable as the misty moonlight, and he doesn't intend to chase him anymore. It's enough to confirm that Rosie doesn't hate him.
"…I'm sorry." Rosie said softly.He didn't know what he was apologizing for, maybe it was because of the hurtful words just now, or the guilt of turning a blind eye to it for so many yearswhen the song was over, he realized that he owed the other party a lot.
Unlike Killer and Piper, Parisa followed him for the ideal of overthrowing the ruling class. Parisa himself was born in the upper class of the main city.The violin followed him to the second district.Now thirteen years have passed, and Parisa has spent her entire youth in the organization. When she put down her gun again, she still has only a piano by her side.
What he can use to compensate Parisa is honor and wealth, but these are things that the other party has long since abandoned; the other party joined the "art" only for an original intention, but this original intention, he can never give it out.
"Why do you say I'm sorry?" Parisa smiled with his eyes bent, and he regained his proper demeanor, as if loss and anxiety had never appeared in those eyes, "You gave me everything, you didn'tOwe me something, my leader."
Seeing that Rosie was still standing by the door feeling lost, he turned his head slightly to look at the corridor, and then looked at the dark room, "There may be other residents on this floor, can we go in and talk?"
"Ah...Okay." Rosie also realized that it was not convenient to be by the door, and his wariness towards Parisa had been dispelled, so he subconsciously moved aside.But then he remembered the mess inside the apartment, and hurriedly tried to stop the other party, but the other party had already walked past him and changed the guest at the entrance.
Parisa asked the two officers who followed him to wait outside the door, took the incubator from one of them, and closed the door.Rosie had to turn on the lights when a guest came to visit, and the soft light illuminated the wine bottles rolling around, the magazines and bullets scattered on the floor, and a dozen empty guns.
Pistols of different models were thrown on the ground in a chaotic manner, with countless brass bullets shining brightly. It seemed that their owners hadn't made up their minds about what kind of guns and ammunition they would use to end their lives.
The guns and bullets were all scattered around the small patch of ground next to the sofa in the living room, the only clean patch of dusty floor where Rosie was supposed to be sitting.The obsession with cleanliness made Parisa notice that the furniture in the room was covered with dust. Rosie hadn’t moved anything, even the couple’s crocodile hippo slippers were still placed in the entrance, and Rosie herself was wearing guest slippers.
After a little thought, Parisa understood that Rosie wanted to keep everything here as it was when Deng Huailing left.So he didn't rush to sit on the sofa or chair, but sat cross-legged across the small clean floor, and opened the incubator in his hand.
Rosie also sat on the ground in front of him, leaning on the sofa and picked up the half-drunk brown wine bottle, the soft white light shone on the pale face, with a sense of unreality: "You must feel...Am I a coward? I ran out by myself and hid in a place where there was no one, just to seek death, but in the end, I still failed to pull the trigger. "
"I don't think so." Parisa took the bottle from Rosie's hand and put it behind her, "My idea is that those who commit suicide in this situation are cowards, and those who choose to live are the real ones."Warrior. Your courage has long been verified in the war, and I know you will not seek short-sightedness, so I came to you after the speech."
"Is that how confident you are in me?" Rosie smiled wryly, and he took another unopened bottle of wine, but was snatched away by Parisa, so he had to protest unhappily, "Hey, don't stop me..."
"I brought you hangover medicine." Unmoved, Parisa took out the water bottle from the incubator, opened the medicine box and peeled off two medicines, wrapped them in a handkerchief and handed them to Rosie.He paused, and there was an imperceptible smile in his translucent eyes, "If you really feel that you owe me something, eat this and cheer up."
Rosie froze for a moment, he didn't intend to pick it up, but Parisa kept looking at him seriously, with her hand hanging in the air stubbornly.The other party's words put him in a dilemma. If he didn't take the hangover medicine, it meant that he was not sincere in his apology to Parisa just now. He had to take the medicine and hold the water bottle handed over by the other party.
He looked at Parisa hesitantly, and the other party nodded at him, so he had no choice but to unscrew the kettle and down the pills.He realized that something was wrong after he was urged to drink sober medicine—he seemed to have been fooled by Parisa again. The other party mentioned his plan to retire, implying that the debts of the past ten years were all to arouse his guilt.In order to use this feeling to kidnap him to drink medicine.
The conversation in front of the apartment door may have been Parisa's impromptu performance, or it may have been planned by the other party early. In any case, there must be some performance elements.He was deceived by Parisa's appearance again, and he thought the other party was too gentle and simple. The person in front of him was very good at intrigue and scheming. The confrontation in the Lost City was the best example.
But now Parisa calculated him, no longer to possess him, but to let him wake up and get out of the haze.This is what a true friend does. Rosie held the water bottle with complicated emotions. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be annoyed or grateful.
"The chef in the administrative center prepared breakfast for you, would you like some?" Parisa smiled gently and harmlessly, and opened the next layer of the incubator.A wide variety of meals are neatly arranged in squares in the box, and there is a pot of steaming milk next to it.
"You..." Rosie struggled with what words to use, but in the end he didn't get angry with Parisa, he shook his head helplessly, his depressed eyes still had no light, "Actually...why do you do this?No matter what you do, I don't intend to change my decision, the war is over, and the future of Cesina City has nothing to do with me."
"Is it really nothing to do with you, or do you think that the road you insist on has harmed Deng Huailing, so you dare not face it?" Parisa knew it clearly, and said calmly, "I did this for you because I didn't want toYou give up on yourself and go on in ruins, you still have a lot of things to do, if you just die in a decadent depression, it is the most unworthy thing in the world."
Rosie lowered her eyes casually, her tone still depressed: "Why do you act like someone who has experienced it? Obviously you have never experienced the setback of losing a loved one, and you have not heard the news of his death with your own ears.What qualifications do you have to judge whether it is worth it..."
"I've experienced it." Parisa suddenly interrupted him, raised her eyes and said softly.His voice is not loud, but every word is unforgettable and extremely hot, as if bursting out of the magma in the depths of the soul, "Rosie, I have experienced it, just ten years ago on the bloody Christmas, I lost the person I love the most, Hearing the news of his death from the main city - is this enough for me to judge?"
Rosie stared blankly at the blond young man, these hot words fell into his ears like thunder.Yes, how could he forget that the other party has already experienced the same feelings as him, and tasted the feeling of regret and guilt, so he doesn't want him to repeat the same mistakes:
"At that time, I was just like you, blaming myself for my inaction, and fantasizing that I could go back to before things happened and change everything? I also used to not eat or drink, drunk like mud, trying to torture myself to alleviate the guilt in my heart, I...I even drove to an uninhabited area hundreds of kilometers away, and begged you to come back by a lake where wishes are said to come true, such stupid things.”
"But I later realized that this is meaningless... No matter how good the past is, it can't add any meaning to the present. If I continue to be decadent like this, I will ruin your ideals and make your death worthlessIt was also from then on that I made up my mind to take revenge on Victor and fulfill your long-cherished wish, even though I couldn't even hold a gun steadily at that time."
Parisa's eyes were clear, "You are much stronger now than I was then, but the challenges before you are still not easy. Although the war is over, the journey of 'art' is far from over., my leader, there are many things that must be done by you."
"Robert is still alive. He is the chief culprit who killed Deng Huailing. Don't you want to kill him yourself? The city of Cesina is still not settled down. Do you want to push it back into turmoil? Deng Huailing for youI left a last wish, don't let him down."
"But... this may not be Huailing's last wish from the bottom of his heart." Rosie's expression was a little shaken, as if an avalanche was about to fall, but she became lonely at the moment when she was about to be moved, "I imposed it on him. If ten yearsI didn't meet him before, said those words to him, or I didn't keep him by my side selfishly... maybe, he wouldn't die. "
He clenched his hands tightly and asked himself in confusion, "I made him die for my wish, but he still has to deceive himself in a grandiose way. Is this his wish? Wasn't it because of me that he walked on this path?"
"You underestimate Deng Huailing too much." Parisa wanted to turn his head and say this awkwardly, but that would damage his elegance and demeanor, so he pretended to be gentle and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, butHe was born to be the same person as you, and of course he will walk the same path—you have brought Victor by your side for so many years, didn't you teach him to be what you want?"
Parisa frowned secretly, and mentioned two people he hated in one sentence, no matter how well-bred she was, she still didn't want to talk about it.He lowered his head, his brows and eyes were slightly cold, and there was obvious hostility in his green eyes, but these words seemed to be effective for Rosie, seeing the comprehension expression on the other side, he couldn't help but loosen his brows again, and raised his eyebrowslips.
"Is that so?" Rosie murmured, thinking deeply, "This was originally...Huailing's wish? That's right, if he didn't have that kind of qualification, how could I change his life with just one sentence?Even without me, there will be other opportunities coming to him, right?"
Numerous past events flowed into his mind, and many details that he hadn't noticed rang like wind chimes from everywhere in his memory.He remembered the night Cheng Wen died, Deng Huailing rescued the mysterious Rosie from the hooligans and took her home; in that apartment, Rosie saw a deduction of 20 million credit points on the ledger, That is what Deng Huailing spent to help the residents of the second district.
Deng Huailing initially accepted Chen Wei's entrustment because Dr. Chen said that the lock of the brain involved the fate of the entire city of Cesina, so the other party helped without taking any money.Although Deng Huailing never flaunted it, other people in the city have always been very important in the other party's heart, but after having him, "Rosie"'s priority was ranked above everyone.
Even without him, Deng Huailing would have paid and sacrificed for the irrelevant people. The other party cared about the city and was destined to get involved and lead to the same ending.Parisa was right, that little hunter was such a person himself, and had no deep relationship with his teaching and guidance. It was only when they happened to meet him that their fates began to intertwine.
Rosie suddenly realized that it was not he who changed the fate of the other party.In that snowy day ten years ago, Deng Huailing actually chose him, not him.
