Part 2 Volume 2 The Death of the Adjuster Chapter 9 Eyes-on-you
The flesh is a kind of happiness.
You see, it takes a lot of time and effort to maintain the flesh, so you don't have time to think too much.
But what about when the flesh is removed from the formula?
Endless time, endless thinkingγγγγγγ
And how many people in the world will have no regrets, when you look back on the puzzle of your past life, those missing pieces will inevitably attract your attention in an endless period of time, and bring you ...
Endless remorse makes you as pitiful as a dog that keeps chasing its own tail and biting it.
-------- Arlando. Bakina
Arlando floats above the endless sea, and the endless sea of flowers below the surface of the water emits an alluring smell (this scene has also been mentioned in previous chapters); The water made him feel reassured of being enveloped, and the smell made him feel hazy. It was in this hazy peace of mind that he spent endless hours watching everything that had happened in the past.
Countless births, countless deaths; Innumerable light, innumerable darkness; Countless good, countless evil...
In the end, it was fixed on a person's body, once as blazing as a phoenix, as gorgeous as a summer flower, as quiet as an autumn leaf, and as refreshing as a winter night: her life, her death, her light, her darkness, her good and evil...
[Did all this disappoint you? γ
[Who am I lying to, I thought I could live alone... γ
[However, now that I have experienced all these injuries and pains, I think the most important thing for me to do is probably to end all this and let it go... γ

"Uh!!" Ruyueqiu, who was far away in Plant, had just eaten the gummies, but she felt a sharp pain in her heart as if she had eaten a poisonous apple, which made her scream.
"His vital signs are dropping dramatically!" At the base of Titans on Earth, the paramedic who were closely monitoring Arlando's signs shouted anxiously.
"Now?!" Lund, who was talking to Qi Tengyi. Mina. Sahak asked, shaking his head in surprise.
"Adrenaline!"
Mina looked at the busy medical staff, her hands that were originally clenched into fists, and after her eyes slanted downwards and saw Mina's state, Qi Teng walked to Mina's side:
"He'll be back."
"What makes you so sure?" Looking at the chaotic scene below, Mina asked with a frown.
"There is only one person in this world who will make him so miserable, this person will let him leave Zeon, if such attachment can't be pulled back, then I have nothing to say, and," Qi Tengyi seemed to hesitate, "We are the same kind of people, I know he will definitely come back... For those of us who are forced to walk into the end of darkness early, accomplishing what we have to do is all we have to do, and he will not abandon even that. β
"It's a little hard to understand in the back...
"Is it hard to understand? Isn't it the most basic responsibility and obligation of a person and a man to the world, especially to his lover, to accomplish what he started? Qi Tengyi's face, which had been jokingly called 10,000 years of immobility within Titans, curled slightly after saying this.
The Queen of Shadows of Orb looked at the almost imperceptible but incomparably prominent smile on the face of the general of Titans beside her, and after a moment she smiled herself as if she seemed to laugh at herself:
"It's the same with women."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you going to walk into the darkness like this? γ
With such majesty, love, and heartache, the ocean around Arlando vanished without a trace--- the road in front of him was a cold one that shone with the brilliance of steel, and in front of him was a hall paved with unknown stones, and when he looked sideways, only an infinite number of stars twinkled in the face.
Where am I, Arlando looked up at the oil paintings on the other side of the wall and wondered, but he still walked forward step by step, as if there was something in front of the stone paved hall that strongly attracted him, attracting him to forget everything and go down step by step.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw the "person" who made the voice that haunted him and attracted him in front of him.
Dressed in her pale blue dress, she reflected the enchanting light in the night of the colonial satellite. The artificial light source was for her at that moment, because a little more darkness or a little more light would have damaged her indescribable beauty. The light, gently fluctuating in her hairline, the gentle glow on her beautiful face, her smile made Arlando mad...
But what was conveyed was not a quiet and magnificent feeling, but a faint anger and a faint helplessness. The flower pendants around her waist and shoulders set off her expression, and Arlando couldn't resist and wanted to rush up to hug her, but her eyebrows scattered blazing flames, which surprised Arrando.
I don't know why I would... Caught in this situation again ... Arlando shook his head in pain.
[Will I be a woman who falls in love with a weak man?] No, of course not] Harman walked in a way that shone brightly, as magnificent as the universe that the two of them had galloped countless times.
[Your strength comes from all the "negativity" of this world, "they" support you, but you also have to constantly resist the erosion of those negative cornerstones of the world, a slightly worse man will have long been eroded away... γ
βγγγγ You've done a good job," [Harman] raised his hand and stroked it gently over Arlando's face, "but even better, my love... β
"The negativity of the world, my dear, what are you talking about, I don't understand... I... Feeling the illusory temperature, Arlando was a little overwhelmed.
"They block your memories and suppress your personality, but they can never do it completely, even your loved ones," Harman smiled confidently and complacently, "Go to Plant, do what you have to do, meet someone who you don't see anyone but you, who has something in his hands and the answer you're looking for... β
"That's not what I want!! I regret it!! I hate !! I... I... So many people died. You... I!!! Arlando roared.
"Do you miss me?" Harman held Arrando's face with both hands.
"All the time." Arlando uttered four words word by word with all his feelings
"Do you hate the Empire?" Harman stared into Arlando's eyes.
"Every hour ... Every moment! β
"So that's enough for now, do what you have to do, and the answers you're really looking for are there...
With that, Haman's figure gradually dissipated into the darkness, leaving only one echoing phrase under Arrando's futile pursuit:
[Life is so small because it always has to merge into eternal darkness and death]
[And the hope we are looking for is even slimmer]
So what do we do? γ
[Peacefully into the dark night of death?] γ
[When you feel that your life is nearing the end, don't you want to roar, roar towards the light that is gradually fading? γ
[When you feel that your life is forced to come to a predetermined end, don't you want to roar, roar towards the darkness that is destined to come? γ
Wise or not, tired or not, holy or greedy, I ... γ
[Bless you, so go and roar towards the darkness!] γ
[My love, roar! Roar!! Roar!! γ
"Ahh!!!!!!h Call.... Call.... Whew... Breaking free from his restraints and reopening his eyes, Arlando roared and sat up, gasping for air.
"Welcome back." Accompanying the figure of Qi Tengyi that greeted him was a calm word.
"I... I'm ... Feeling a wave of vertigo welling up, Arlando asked as he struggled before lying down again.
"Rest now, the answer will come."
Hearing Mina's words, Arlando fell back on, not reopening his eyes until nearly seven hours later.
βγγγγγγ She sealed the secret in a box that could only be opened by your specific mode of induction, and just now the box was opened, revealing to us the contact information of the Prophet who has now been proven to be true, and that Prophet is now nowhere to be seen but you ... β
"[Prophet]? If anyone knows the future, then what am I, I'm starting to hate this person now ... Arlando rudely interrupted Mina.
"I don't like it either, but if you want to make a change, this is an opportunity," Mina gave Arlando a faint look, "Me and Harman. Karn has been working together to bring you some things and words, and I have completed the agreement, and the rest of the decision is yours. β
After seeing Mina leave the ward, Qi Teng turned his head to look at Arlando again:
"So, do you do it or not?"
Do you miss me? Do you hate the Empire? γThe answer you're looking for is in itγ
Recalling Harman's question, Arlando nodded:
"I'll do it."
"Very well, we'll put you in the Accelerated Repair Pool, and you'll head out to Orb in a week, pick up someone there who will go with you to the Plant, and head to the universe via Orb's shuttle."
"What is your backup plan, which is to travel to the home turf of an enemy who is now in total opposition to Earth."
"You're backed by the Federation's most elite special operations resources, but that doesn't include a backup plan." Qi Tengyi threw such a sentence to Arlando before leaving the ward.
As soon as Qi Teng left Arlando's hospital room, Arrando closed his eyes at the same time, somewhere in the Plant, Ruyueqiu opened her eyes, but she found that she couldn't move--- she struggled to raise her head to see what was wrong with her, but found that she seemed to have her head fixed, so she could only whine and try to turn her eyeballs.
In the monitoring room above her head, a group of people were nervously busy, and suddenly one of them suddenly shouted:
"The scan of the unflowered marshmallow in the subject's stomach came out, and there was some kind of mechanical body in it, and the signal came from there!"
"Damn it, prepare to transfer to the highest security level laboratory immediately, prepare to transfer!" The head of the lab seemed to hesitate for a moment before giving the order.
In the cafΓ© where the moon drinks coffee during the day, the red-haired waitress sneered as she looked at the red light on her watch that showed a broken signal.
