"That's what I want to tell you." Parisa blinked her green eyes, concealing the jealousy and hostility in her eyes, and looked at Rosie softly, "You are in the middle of the game, and some things cannot be seen clearly, even if heIt is also because of his nature that he has set foot on the same path as you. The role you played in it is inevitable and coincidental, and there is no need to blame yourself for it."

"So, I didn't kill Huailing." Rosie gradually recovered her voice, and under her tear-stained eyelashes, her moist eyes were as warm as water, "He didn't die because of me, at least not entirely, ifTo say he did it only for me would be too demeaning of his character."

"Huailing... He is a very good person. He will care about and consider for the benefit, but he also cares about everyone around him, even people who have never met. I only told him to'Be a good person', but he has done far more than what I entrusted, how can it be said that it is entirely my influence?"

"I'm glad you can figure this out." Parisa lowered her eyes, and her pure golden hair fell down her cheeks.He obviously comforted Rosie, but his mood was inexplicably not so happy. To cover up, he patted the incubator beside his hand and said with a smile, "Now, do you want to have some breakfast?"

Rosie looked at the incubator hesitantly, perhaps because of the same experience, Parisa's every sentence hit his deepest pain.But the guilt for Deng Huailing's death is not the whole pain, what makes him unable to let go is, "But, he is already dead, how can I pretend that nothing happened..."

"What if, I mean if, you can wait until he comes back?" Parisa suddenly raised her eyes, and suddenly proposed a bold idea.

"What?" Rosie thought she had heard wrong.

"You don't have to act like nothing happened, you just have to live every day as if you're waiting for him to come back." Parisa said calmly, because that's how he was waiting for Rosie ten years ago, "After Bloody Christmas, the Cesina government announced your death, but didn’t you come back ten years later? You didn’t see Deng Huailing’s body with your own eyes, did you?”

Rosie's eyes widened, and he'd never considered the possibility again.Although at first he thought that Deng Huailing might not be dead, but the hunter guild and intelligence agency he entrusted had no news, so he accepted the reality under the persuasion of Piper and Parisa.

Now Parisa raised this conjecture again, although it was because seeing his collapsed state, it was mostly comforting, but it was also a possibility.Although this possibility is slim, he has to persevere until he finds evidence of Deng Huailing's death.

Otherwise, even if Deng Huailing survived by chance, wouldn't he be as sad as he was when he heard the news that he died early?

Rosie's eyes, which were as dark as a deep pool, brightened again, as if there were two ethereal lanterns reflecting the surface of the lake.This time, he was no longer deceiving himself. He had already accepted the fact that Deng Huailing was very likely to die, but he was still willing to conduct rigorous verification like a scientist until he came to the final answer.If Deng Huailing hadn't come back at that time, it would not be too late for him to die.

Parisa watched the other person's expression change, and a faint smile melted in his eyes.This time it was a genuine smile, not out of politeness or cover-up, and he knew he'd helped Rosie find meaning in continuing to live, and that she wouldn't do anything stupid for a while.

He pushed the incubator containing the breakfast forward at the right time, stood up from the dusty ground, walked to the window, asked Rosie for advice, slowly opened the curtains and opened the window.He left a thin layer of white gauze to prevent the strong sunlight from making Rosie uncomfortable: "See the sunshine, and my mood will recover faster."

"Well, thank you." Rosie was still leaning on the sofa, but she had already put the incubator on her lap, and took out the food inside.Parisa looked back from the window, watching the daylight fill the room, and the furniture cast shadows of different lengths on the ground. Rosie's figure was bathed in the bright warm sun, and her loose long hair was illuminated fluffy.

The man's back is thin and fragile, and the hair hanging on the shoulder blades looks very soft. The appearance of holding a piece of bread in his mouth and holding two pieces in his hand also makes people want to laugh involuntarily.The breeze swayed the window screen beside Parisa, and he couldn't help stretching out his fingertips to trace the figure who was eating quietly and happily from a distance, and a dark color appeared in the bottom of his green eyes.

Desire is difficult to annihilate, and can only be disguised with consistent self-cultivation.Parisa leaned back on the window sill and put down his hands. He noticed the dark desire surging in his heart, closed his pale golden eyelashes, and quickly suppressed it.But more confusion and bewilderment appeared in the green eyes, he couldn't predict how long he could suppress himself.

This is the real reason why he decided to leave.Now that he understands that he can't get what he wants, he won't touch it again, and plays the image of a decent friend in front of Rosie.But he didn't know when this image would go astray again, just like in the lost city, destroying the re-established friendship between them.

Instead, it is better to leave in time.Parisa thought helplessly, how did he fight his own heart?Ten years of tempering have turned him into a politician and commander with a strong desire for control. He has long been used to snatching what he wants in the jungle of blood and fire. In order to prevent this love from hurting Rosie again, he justGet away as soon as possible.

"Parisa," Rosie turned suddenly, swallowed the bread and said to him, "thank you this time. After I finish my breakfast, shall we go to the main city? You are right, there are many thingsIt needs me to finish, and I can't delay any longer."

"Okay," Parisa nodded after a short reaction, and put on that pure smile, her blond hair glowing warmly under the sun, "The soldiers are already waiting, and they are ready to go at any time. I will contact PaiPo got her ready for the ceremony... By now, she should have put Robert in prison, right?"

His tone was gentle and light, like a true friend.

On the top floor of the Civic Center, the mayor's office, Robert Dillane sat alone in the huge room, drinking brandy with ice by himself.

The screens on the ceiling and walls went out, no longer showing the snowy and snowy video of the bloody Christmas, but turned to complete darkness.The screen was as smooth as several pitch-black mirrors, reflecting the silhouettes of many mayors. There was no panic on that face. Robert was drinking quietly from a glass.towel.

For a long time he sat in silence, waiting for the visitor.In fact, the municipal center was not as quiet as this at the beginning. He sat here to command the remaining government troops and guard this island-like building;Automatic weapons inside, and secretary Catherine.

But now he has nothing.Shocking gunshots reverberated in the building, and as the army of "Shu" advanced, soldiers were killed, weapons were destroyed, and Catherine disappeared while taking advantage of the chaos.He drank wine, but what he was thinking about was not the desperate situation in front of him, and his memory went back aimlessly, back to the year when he was fifteen years old.

It's so strange, he has fought for power and wealth by any means for half his life, founded a super company with a terrifying scale, owned supreme power and piled up treasures, but he still thinks of himself who has nothing.He recalled slowly, the smiling girl and the warm and gentle boy, he couldn't even remember their faces clearly.

Robert put down his wine glass, picked up the framed photo by the table, and switched to the hidden photo of the three of them.His fingers caressed the faces of those boys and girls, and he removed the red cross on the face of the boy on the far right, revealing a bright smile like morning dew. They hugged each other affectionately, unaware that the bad luck ahead was approaching.

It turned out that he had friends at that time, but he no longer remembered.In this life, there are only these two. In the past, there was exclusion and struggle within the family, and in the future, there was a bloody storm in the political and business circles. Only two friends broke in during this bright and pure time.

—but he was killed by his own hands.

Since then, there has been no one who treats him sincerely. He can persecute and rob him, but no one treats him wholeheartedly, shares joys and sorrows, lives and deaths, and helps him with all his strength.Suddenly, Robert snorted and giggled, and the laughter echoed in the mayor's office. He thought absurdly that he would throw these two away...he would throw these two away.

The heavy sound of military boots sounded in the corridor, and the "shu" army outside the door seemed to have stopped, forming two lines, and two soldiers stepped forward and opened the door.A woman with blonde and black hair walked into this office slowly, her long hair was coiled up at the back of her head, she was wearing a pitch-black military uniform and a snow-white armband.Her face is not beautiful, but there is a calmness and strength that cannot be ignored.

Robert raised his head and recognized that it was Piper, the adjudicator from East 3 of District 2.Piper strolled to the mayor's desk in a leisurely manner, put his hands on the edge of the table, leaned his upper body slightly forward, looked directly at him and said:

"Mayor Dylan, I'm really surprised that you didn't commit suicide by swallowing a gun. I thought that based on your self-esteem, you should kill yourself when you are defeated, so as to save us some effort. After all, the process of the military court is still quite slow."

"I want to see Rosie." Robert sat on the chair and looked at her, and squeezed out a few words in a low voice.Although his expression barely remained refined, his eyes were terribly gloomy, staring at Piper was like staring at disgusting insects.

"Our leader has a lot of things to do every day, so he doesn't have time to see you." Piper smiled, straightened up from the table, wandered around the office with his arms folded, fiddling with every corner of the display, "If you want to reminisce with himBegging for mercy in the past, I advise you to give up this idea, he will never let you go..."

The sound of her military boots hitting the floor stopped suddenly, Piper turned her head and looked coldly at the mayor behind the table, "You are the chief culprit who killed Deng Huailing."

"You bastards from District Two, what right do you have to talk to me like that?" Robert smiled contemptuously, "You're just a lackey who lives by Rosie, and you dare to make decisions for him? Let him come to see me anyway!I’m talking to you untouchables, of course I want to find someone with the highest status, so as not to hear any vulgar language.”

Piper sneered and said, "So what if we're a bitch? A bitch has dignity and knows how to resist. The bitch you speak of is just the one who defeated you in the end. Robert, you haven't beaten Rosie since you were a student.Isn't it? It's unbelievable that a person of noble birth like you can't win against a lowly one."

"Shut up!" Robert raged, and Piper's words hit his pain point very precisely, "I'll say it again, let Rosie come to see me, you bitch..."

"Ah, by the way, it seems that the untouchables in the second district are not the only ones who caused you to lose the war." Piper pretended to be surprised and said as if remembering something, "Is there still people and people under your rule?The army? They betrayed you at a critical moment and turned to the second district. Why? Is it because you are not as attractive as us pariahs?"

"you……"

"Oh yes, I remembered, and your beloved little secretary Catherine, she also played a big role in this war." Piper laughed, "Did you find that she disappeared half an hour agoYes? Yes, she is shivering in the 'Shu' barracks wrapped in a blanket, don't worry, she has already reached an agreement with us, we will not do anything to her."

"What... Catherine?" Robert's expression was obviously shaken, as if he had been hit by a blow, and his speech became less fluent, "Catherine, she, she betrayed me? You made it up, right? She never...Never dared to disobey my meaning, this must be fabricated by you!"

"Is this unbelievable? Mayor Dylan, daring to disobey does not mean obedience. If there is a better choice, she will of course run away from you. You are a leader without personal charm.People have betrayed you, you should know it in your heart."

Piper wandered around the office, came to Robert's soft chair, and sighed, "Oh, oh, what a pity, she would rather choose Rosie, who had a small chance of winning at that time, than stay with you."

"Impossible, this is impossible...you bastard, I don't believe it!" Robert's spirit was close to frenzy, and he wanted to stand up while roaring, but was pinned down on the soft chair by three or five soldiers rushing over, unable to move.

"What's impossible? Mayor, you still haven't accepted the fact that you've already lost, so you're doomed—" Piper lazily lay on the top of the back of the chair, looking down and said leisurely, "LonelyOne body, all betrayed relatives."

Immediately, she got up from the back of the chair, knocked on the leather seat, and didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party, "Take it away with me."

The soldiers rushed forward, roughly bound Robert's hands and feet, and dragged him out of the office. After being tied up, the man was still cursing furiously. The scolding echoed in the corridor for a long time until it dissipated.He will be taken to a temporary prison in the main city, awaiting trial by a military court.

The office became quiet again, Piper stood behind the desk, looking in the direction of the door in a daze, the harsh words of "untouchables" were still in his ears.She really couldn't figure out how Rosie would go out of his way for this kind of person back then, but let alone Robert, even Victor, Rosie's high hoped successor, was a complete jerk, and the other party's vision of people was really worrying.

In her life, Rosie was right about this only once, and that was by choosing Deng Huailing.It's just that Deng Huailing also left unexpectedly, which hit Rosie deeply. Piper thought anxiously, no matter what the result of Parisa's persuasion, Rosie might not be really happy in the next few years.

"The leader is in a bad mood. Prepare a grander welcoming ceremony for him. We just liquidated one-thousandth of CyberRose's assets, which is enough to spend." Piper told the subordinates who followed, "The municipal center also has to be rebuilt.Site selection and construction, during the construction period, first find a high-rise building as a temporary administrative point, and then we will move there slowly.”

Then she turned her head and looked disgustedly at the wall where countless Robert's enemies were imprisoned, and then thought of the collection showroom downstairs, "As for this dirty place, tear it down."
