The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

"...I'm sorry, Jingzhe."

……

'The Duke's bad taste may be too strong. '

Jingzhe watched with some speechlessness as Kosiche weighed the secretly locked wallet, and then hummed the ballad of Ursus, obviously in a good mood.

'But it doesn't feel as scary as the legend says? '

At least, the tool that Carters relied on for a living was not taken away by the Duke.

But Jingzhe remembered the terrifying rumors about the Duke.

"You cannot hear its voice, you cannot know its name; you cannot see its shape, you cannot detect its traces."

This is a terrible rumor about Cosiche passed down from the dead Gaul.

At that time, Ursus also sent the Duke of Cosiche to participate in the Four-Nation War that led to the destruction of Gaul.

The Witch-King of Leitania, Cosiche of Ursus... That war completely shattered the pride of Gaul.

Indeed, in terms of military, Gaul was the top of Terra at that time.

But in this land, what an individual can do is not necessarily inferior to that of a collective.

After the war, Ursus gave up carving up the territory of Gaul and instead asked for technology from Victoria and Letania in exchange.

The remaining two countries agreed to Ursus' request.

Although the rumors are definitely exaggerated, they at least prove that the Eternal Duke of Ursus has a strong ability to manipulate others and a wide range of abilities.

'It seems that Carters has to be detained temporarily. '

After all, the other party had contact with Kosich and even offended Kosich.

Jingzhe didn't want to see a thief hang himself in shame at his home the next day because of an attempted theft.

In fact, if Kosiche had not spoken out to stop him at that time, Jingzhe would have stopped Hei Li's cruel behavior.

In any case, a direct death sentence for attempted theft would be too much.

Even if the other party is just an infected person, the law cannot be excessively enforced.

At least Jingzhe couldn't accept it at all.

As for the secret lock who had survived the disaster, he saw two police officers looking impatient as soon as he walked out of the alley.

'...Tough luck! '

Ansuo couldn't help but lament his bad luck in recent days.

……

"Zhu Jiuyin, that kind of cliché, full of personal conjecture, and logic that is different from ordinary people, how do you continue to read it?"

In the world in the painting, Xi glanced dissatisfied at Zhu Jiuyin, who was sitting opposite the desk, holding a script and reading it attentively.

Aren't her charming paintings better than Nian's boring script?

"Haha... I didn't appreciate your sister's script, but some of the information revealed in it made me very interesting."

Zhu Jiuyin continued to read the script without raising his head.

Of course he also felt that the script was cliche and boring and full of personal imagination.

But he originally came here based on Nian's personal imagination.

He still noticed some clues from his creations in [-].

Information about 'Sui' and 'Twelve Shards'.

And the fear of the year itself…

The fear of disappearing from the world.

"...Xi. This sister of yours seems to be very afraid of [disappearing]."

"She is too greedy for this world... not to mention, what can we brothers and sisters do?"

"...But if you don't do it, how do you know what you can achieve?"

"...Don't stand there and talk without your back hurting."

"Haha... maybe, but since Sui can split once, it can also split a second time."

"But then, will I still be me?"

"...Who knows, maybe I will take your painting and go to your grave for a moment of silence. Oh~ you might not even have a grave."

"……roll!"

Zhu Jiuyin was once again thrown out of the painting world by Xi and almost hit the hotel wall.

He looked at the scroll hanging on the wall and unfolded the Nian's script again.

'...it seems that most of the fragments don't want to be reunited. '

'In this case, it is still necessary for me to maintain the unity of my consciousness. '

'...'

'Compared to one powerful and wanton psychopath, it is indeed better to have twelve relatively weak behemoths. '

'I'm not sure I can successfully steal Sui's power. '

'I don't want to lose Xi as a friend for the time being. '

'Um……'

'It's so troublesome, I have no clue at all. '

'Let's talk about it then. '

'By the way, if I seize the body of one of the giant beasts, will the fusion of Sui still go smoothly? '

'...Next time, let's ask Xi how her relationship with Nian is. '

'It seems like their relationship is very unharmonious. '

……

At the same time, somewhere in the Longmen slums, a group of homeless people were heading towards the cemetery from different directions.

The cemetery guards watched them come in, but remained silent.

A snake's shadow seemed to flash in his eyes.

The group of homeless people were silent and just took out all the digging tools they had.

Broken shovels, rough manuscripts, even broken spoons, etc...

They dug stiffly, but unfortunately they couldn't find the target.

Just before dawn, they eliminated all traces of the scene and returned to their usual places.

'...It appears that Edward's body is not in the cemetery. '

'I can only get the answer from Wei Yanwu. '

'...How about using the excuse of a daughter visiting the body of her deceased father? '

……

"Snake Scale, this is not the place you should come."

"...Dear Lord Kelsey, I have no ill intentions towards Rhode Island. I just came here to send a message to my family."

"...I am no longer the Lord of Ursus."

"Dear Dr. Kelsey, Lord Kosich hopes that you can take in those Ursus children."

"...Why didn't He take action himself? I think He wouldn't refuse an opportunity to show His [mercy] to the world."

"..."

"...Do you even have to cover up such a purpose? What a ridiculous and poor disguise."

"...I wonder what Dr. Kelsey's advice is?"

“We in Rhode Island are a neutral medical company, and in a humanitarian spirit, we extend a helping hand to the refugees from Chernobog... Let me tell you, adults, that our Rhode Island is not a testing ground for Him to train his children. "

"...Okay, Doctor Kelsey."

Chapter 1 Black Snake Tallulah: Dad, I’m here to see you

'The black snake on Natalia's body has lost contact with me. '

'It seems that she successfully led her team to successfully evacuate from Chernobog. '

'Alas~ The child has grown up and has his own ideas...'

'However, emphasizing love and justice is both a good thing and a bad thing. '

'Let her practice in Rhode Island for a while... After all, I am going to see the [Doctor] who just woke up soon. '

……

"Sasha, the leader hasn't come back for so long. Did something happen?"

The white-haired boy wearing white clothes with the Integration Movement logo on his sleeve asked the dark green-haired boy sitting on the ground, wiping the crossbow arrows.

"I don't know, Ino... maybe you can ask sister Alina."

"I've asked, but she also said she didn't know."

"...Then just wait, just like in the past, waiting for the leader to bring back the good news."

"Oh……"

……

In a spacious hall, Wei Yanwu was sitting on the sofa, smoking a pipe.

"I have said it many times, smoking is harmful to health... Just smoke less."

Mrs. Wenyue walked up to Wei Yanwu and unceremoniously pulled the pipe out of Wei Yanwu's mouth.

"...I'm sorry, ma'am."

"...Are you still thinking about Xiaota?"

"...No matter what, it was me who killed his father with my own hands and forced her mother to remarry. And her mother eventually died of depression."

Wei Yanwu looked slightly depressed.

He has complicated feelings for Tallulah, but at the same time, he also knows that the other person is not Black Snake pretending to be her.

If Longmen's security force is fragile, how can it become Terra's famous economic center?

Outside, Wei Yanwu has always been a typical politician who is experienced and calculating.

Only at home, facing the people closest to him, would the ruler of Longmen shed his layers of disguise and show his truest side.

Mrs. Wenyue didn't say anything, she just leaned against Wei Yanwu quietly.

She knew the torment, pain, and deep guilt in Wei Yanwu's heart.

After all, even if she was not a witness to the tragedy that year, she was at least a bystander.

But the mistakes of the past will not disappear. She can only hope that her husband can get out of the shadow of that year.

"...You didn't tell Xiaota that you deliberately revealed this news to her?"

Wen Yue asked softly.

She hopes her husband can put aside the gap between him and his sister's children.

Even if the possibility is very slim.

"... Tell what? Let her know that her father-killing enemy took pity on her and went out of his way to help her?"

"But you are still her mother's brother and one of the few relatives she has... What's more, you had no choice but to do it at the time."

"But so what, I indirectly forced her mother, my biological sister, to death."

"...You refuse to bow your head, and that child refuses to bow his head either. Do you really want to turn against each other? Don't you, Great Yan, believe that blood is thicker than water?"
