"I thought you already knew."

Finally, he said so.

"So, how are you doing recently? Richard, how about you move in with me in the future so that we can work together."

Lavinia felt her cheeks getting hot when she said this, but she looked directly at Richard's gaze without avoiding it, and a hint of longing appeared in her orange pupils.

Syracuse is a country with conservative traditions, and the cohabitation of men and women is a privilege that only couples can enjoy.

Richard had never seen Lavinia so bold.

"...We'll talk about this later. You're here to discuss business with me, right?"

But looking at Lavinia's beautiful face, the future and the future that Richard envisioned in his mind were always filled with lingering blood. No matter what he thought, there was always a voice in his mind urging him to put on a hood. .

[You're starting to enjoy this, aren't you? ]

Chapter 8 The storm is coming (intermediate chapter)

[Perhaps according to the normal game plot development, the Texas family will openly betray Ms. Sicily soon, and then this once powerful family will be removed. Cellinina herself also fled to Longmen, and then another seven years will pass. , because of her agreement with the Wolf Lord Zaro, she returned to Syracuse, and finally came the climax of the drama: return, conspiracy, betrayal, ambition and reshuffle...]

[what about you?What kind of role can you play in this drama?What happens if you don't answer the phone initially? ]

[Do things you could never do in your previous life, be with a good girl like Lavinia, help her find the laws that belong to people, and according to the original script, you don’t need to do anything, just Just help her in obscurity. ]

[That's a beautiful thing, right? ]

[No, you already understood some of the truth from your previous life. ]

[What others think of as order is a constraint for you. This world is inherently cruel, oppressive, and dominated by man-made rules. ]

[Seconds, minutes, hours. ]

[Day, week, month. ]

[The land under your feet is almost exactly the same as it was in the previous life. After the dynasties have changed, the story that happened today is the same as yesterday, the day before yesterday, or even a few years ago, decades ago, or hundreds of years ago. ]

[Reproduction, death, each life is nothing more than an inferior copy of its predecessor...]

"Shut up, stupid system. I didn't think so much when I was killing. I was just thinking, it would be great if I had a gun, preferably a silenced Uzi, because I am a person with unique tastes, so I want Spray my Uzi with gradient disco."

.........

"You're in a daze again, Richard. Sometimes I really don't understand what's going on in your head."

Dissatisfied, Lavinia slapped a pile of documents on Richard's face, and the latter even took a moment to react.

"Talking to me

Does this bore you? "

Richard picked up the documents on the table and took a look. Most of them were missing cases that had occurred in recent years. To put it bluntly, the disappearances in Syracuse were unanswered cases. Where were the missing people? ?

In the cement walls of the construction unit, deep in the woods of the shade park, or at the bottom of the artificial river...

"You plan to solve the unsolved cases left by the previous judge? Lavinia, are you crazy? You can't find those people, only some broken corpses."

Richard said in surprise.

"The missing people are all civilians, and their relatives are still posting missing persons notices on the streets."

Lavinia knocked on the table, trying to focus Richard's attention:

"After all, the family always 'claims' that they will not take action against ordinary people."

Richard finally didn't get distracted this time. He raised his eyebrows and said:

"You are also a member of the family, Lavinia, and you are still the most violent of the Volsini. You always want to fix everything, but in fact nothing is broken at all."

"I am different from them. I am because of a promise made by the head of the family..."

"Did you become a justice just after graduation because of a promise?"

"Richard, I don't want to argue with you now."

Seeing Lavinia's taut wolf ears, Richard realized that she was really angry, so he had no choice but to hold her jade-white hands, sighed and said:

"...Sorry, Lavinia, I'm just a little irritable lately, maybe because of this damn rainy season."

Richard lowered his head, his voice a little apologetic.

"Forget it...where did we just talk? Yes, I need to establish a fair image among the people. I want to tell them that at least one judge is on their side."

Lavinia said firmly.

"You just graduated from school and want to be a justice in a city rooted in violence? Let me think about it, will you be complicit in this society in the end, or will you remain pure?"

Richard rubbed his hair and finally said helplessly:

"Okay, I'll help you investigate these cases. After all, I'm your personal secretary. By the way, can you treat me to lunch?"

After hearing Richard's agreement, Lavinia began to organize the documents on the table. Considering the relationship between the two of them, there was no need to say thank you.

"I heard that a good Yanguo restaurant has recently opened in Xincheng District. We can go there and try it."

..........

“If you let a guy break your nose, the next thing that gets broken is your spine.”

As the head of the family, Alberto once said this to Lapland more than once. When the latter was a little girl who liked to keep pets, he told his daughter many truths:

The fundamental way for Saluzzo to become one of the twelve great families was not through rhetorical politicians, nor through magnificent speeches, nor through unnecessary tricks to win people's hearts.

But hunting, like a wolf in the wilderness, the city filled with blood-colored mist has no kindness, no friends, and everyone is just breakfast or dinner.

Nine corpses were neatly placed in the open space of the Saluzzo family's territory. Alberto held an orange in his hand, pointed at the corpses, and said to Lapland next to him:

"Tell me, my daughter, what did you see?"

"Looks like someone slapped our family hard, my noble father."

Lapland said respectfully.

"Then what should we do?"

Alberto asked again.

"Cut off their hands and destroy their faith."

Lapland stared at the body of Dan Brown. He was one of the top killers in the family and the most ferocious fang beast raised by his father. But now that he was dead, he was no different from other fang beasts.

She began to think with a little amusement about what was about to happen, or what she would let happen.

"As expected of my precious daughter, please come and invite the newest judge of the Bellone family. After all, this is their job."

Alberto crushed the orange hard. As the head of the family, he knew that three people in the Rossetti family died yesterday, and they died in the same way as these nine corpses. They were injured by blunt objects.

The murderer may be the same person, or an unknown gang.

"Sir, what should we do with those three Colombians? After all, they are guests."

"Just notify the families in Colombia and ask them to pay attention. It's not our fault anyway. We just need to determine the target of the bet at the critical moment."

Chapter 9 Birthday Party (Part [-])

[How long had passed when you and Lavinia decided to put on a stage play that would be better than Death in Texas? 10 minutes?Three 10 minutes?Or one hour? ]

[You no longer remember, you simply enjoyed the time with Lavinia.Skirt six "玖④⑨三'⑥一③五]

[The sky outside the window is still gray, and there is a drizzle of rain. Your thoughts drift to the distance. Lavinia, who is sitting opposite you, is elegantly enjoying a plate of Yanguo pastries, but her eyes are Never left you. ]

[The first time I met her

At that time, I was in a debate class in college. The theme of the debate was also very classic, morality and the rule of law. You were on the side of morality, and she was on the side of the rule of law. ]

[You used some of the philosophical sophistry you learned before time travel to render her speechless. To this day, she is unwilling to admit her failure in that debate. ]

[But it was because of this opportunity that the two of you began to gradually understand each other. ]

[You find that the Lavinia at this time is very different from the one in the game. After all, she is just a college student who has just started to fight for her dreams. ]

[Although she has a powerful family as her backer, she rarely interacts with family members, but ordinary students are unwilling to communicate with her. After all, no one wants to get too close to the word family]

[So, you stood up. ]

[The person who stayed with her the longest throughout college was you, Richard, but the two of you never took that step]

"Richard."

The long chopsticks in Lavinia's hand knocked on the table like a gavel, bringing Richard's memories back to reality. She asked:

"Have you ever imagined what Syracuse would be like without a family?"

"Better, or worse."

Richard lowered his head and answered. He didn't know how long ago, he had always subconsciously avoided Lavinia's dark orange eyes.

"Can't you even imagine it? Forget it, let's not talk about work now, Richard, I have a gift for you."

Lavinia said and handed the black umbrella beside her to Richard. After the latter took it, he rubbed the Bellone family emblem on the umbrella handle. Lavinia knew what he was thinking and spoke. said:

"If you don't like the pattern, just cross it out."

"No, that's fine. It's just an umbrella. Deliberately crossing out the family emblem will arouse suspicion."

Richard put away his umbrella, took out a ring made of black thorns from his pocket, and caught Lavinia's right hand that she wanted to take back in her shocked eyes.

"Wait! Richard! Isn't it too early to do this?"

"It's not what you think, Lavinia. It's just a return gift."

Richard said and put the thorn ring on the ring finger of her right hand. Her hands were well maintained, but Richard knew that in the next few years, these white hands would knock off the ring again and again. The gavel determined the fall of many lives.

“I hope that when you face a loss of moral values ​​and struggle with increasingly difficult situations in the future, this thorny thorn will remind you how to find fairness and justice in your heart.

Maybe you will fall and work for those in power, maybe you will pay a heavy price, but I hope you will keep walking on this road full of thorns. "

Lavinia looked at the ring in her hand, but her face looked a little gloomy.

"Richard, won't you accompany me on this road? Why do I feel like you are giving your last words?"

Richard shook his head. He didn't answer the question.

After all, there were some things that Lavinia wouldn't understand even if she said them, and she wasn't condemning them yet.

.......

[After lunch with Lavinia, you returned home. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. You carefully looked at the documents Lavinia left for you and decided to take the time to help her find these missing persons. ]

[In the following time, you dried the clothes in the washing machine, changed out of the suit that was not convenient for mobility, and put on the baseball jacket]

[At night, the phone on the table rang. Isn’t the frequency of the phone a little too fast?Did you just get a call this morning? ]

[Get on the phone, Richard, get on the damn phone. ]

[*beep* This is Dave from Volsini Pest Control. We need you. At 104 Southwest Avenue, a customer has a pest problem. Please solve the problem as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the surrounding neighbors. , we provide you with a special 'cleaning tool' *beep*]

[Pest problem?It looks like the caller has met an expert. Let's go, Richard, before those damn pests spread. ]

[Getting in the car, you find a black package on the passenger seat. When you open it, you find a silenced M1911 and three magazines filled with nine bullets. ]

[It’s a gun. You smell gun oil. It’s a real gun, not Terra’s gun. But by now you have learned not to think about it. Why would a gun appear in your passenger seat? This is unreasonable. problem. ]

[You followed the address to No. 104 Southwest Street, which is a private villa owned by the Bellone family. Through the dim windows, you found that it seemed very lively inside. Maybe the family members were celebrating their birthdays]

[I can’t care so much anymore, so I put on my hood, a baseball bat, put the pistol on my waist, and started working. ]

Richard came to a low wall. Thanks to today's heavy rain, the stone wall was a little slippery. Richard almost fell when he climbed over.

Then he ducked through the low bushes and came to the two guards at the gate.

"You...get out! You are not welcome here!"

One of the chubby family members took out a short stick and pointed it at Richard and yelled.

"Wait a minute, you have the invitation from Mr. Isido

Post it?If anything, they were guests of the Bellone family. "

Another family member who looked taller and thin said, but his eyes were always fixed on Richard's bat, which still had wet blood stains on it.

Yes, of course there is.

Richard nodded and slowly stretched his hands to his waist.
