"Shadow ......"

After hearing Blade's words, a lot of things suddenly came to Lawn's mind, and it was only then that he realized the true meaning of the question that Ronan had asked him before he joined the AOA last night.

Lawn slowly lowered his head, and for some reason a seemingly relieved but incomparably complicated smile slowly appeared on his face, and he laughed silently for a long time before he raised his head again to stare at the sunglasses that covered Blade's eyes.

The sudden smile on Lawn's face didn't surprise Blade, and he still maintained that cold expression, only this time he waited until Lawne looked up before he chose to continue speaking.

"Lorne Boers."

Blade called out Lawn's name and said in a deep voice, "Since you have chosen to come here, you must take on this duty whether you want to or not, but now I think you seem to be mentally prepared. ”

"But this is just the beginning of the change, you need to do a full range of transformation, not only physically, but also mentally and mentally. Neither the summit nor we need you to achieve a high degree of unity with his thoughts, we only need you to be absolutely rational and calm, and only in this way can you cope with the various challenges and crises that you may encounter in the future. ”

"It's definitely a goal that can never be achieved if you were the one before, and until now, I don't believe you can succeed, but the head said......"

Looking at Lawn's seemingly extremely determined eyes, Blade's voice suddenly lowered, "He believes in you." ”

"Boers, walk in......"

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the blade again suddenly rose again, and he suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand to the dark door at the end of the corridor, but his eyes under his sunglasses were fixed on Lawn.

"What's in there?" Lawne asked aloud as he looked at the door of the Black Hole.

But Blade didn't respond, still staring at Lawn, reaching out to the darkness behind the door.

Lawn, who didn't get an answer, didn't care, glanced sideways at Blade, straightened up, and walked through the door with his head held high, gradually drowning in darkness.

"Blade ......"

A few minutes later, in the exclusive lounge of AOA Base 3, Blade sat in a hardwood chair and in front of him was a virtual light curtain that presented Ronan's image.

"Has Raune already gone in?" Ronan asked.

"Yes."

Blade nodded and replied in a deep voice, "I sent him in the first time I came to the base." ”

"Summit......

Without waiting for Ronan to say anything more, Blade was the first to ask, "What's in there?" Why do you think there is a place that can revolutionize Lauin Boers? ”

"Blade, you should know that sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much."

Blade suddenly asked, Ronan drooped his eyes, suddenly showed a gloomy smile, and said slowly: "I can only tell you that it is a place where people can be reborn, although it only has one effect, but it is enough for Lawne." As for the rest......"

Ronan stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, and Blade didn't choose to continue Ronan's unfinished words, and after a while of silence, he turned his mouth and asked, "Chief, even if it can completely change Lorne Boers there, I still don't think that he who has been transformed can represent your identity in the open, and ......"

"And what?"

Seeing that the blade suddenly paused and his brows furrowed, Ronan smiled and reached out and said, "You go on." ”

"And the head ......"

Blade slowly took off his sunglasses, met Ronan's eyes in the light curtain, frowned and asked, "Don't you think that Lorne Boers, as the person who replaces you, is too close to you?" ”

"Close?"

Ronan repeated the word, his face suddenly became weird, and he asked with a smile, "Blade, when did you feel this way?" And ......"

"When did I say that I would let Lorne take my place completely?"

"Chief, but ......"

Blade was slightly confused by Ronan's question, and asked tentatively, "Judging by your previous behavior, I should have great trust in you, the butler named Lorne Boers." Moreover, don't you mean that you are a substitute for your identity? ”

"Blade, Raun is the only person in this world who treats me like a family member after my parents die, and he is also the person I value and care about in the world, but ......"

Ronan shook his head and said, "While I do trust him, it doesn't seem like I have to protect him from the slightest harm. ”

"I'm like a whirlpool that is constantly stirring up the wind and waves, and as long as I'm around, sooner or later, I'll always encounter something that is difficult for them to face at first, so I desperately want everyone to have the strength to take responsibility for their own destiny. For Lawn, for you, I have only given you a tool at the right time so that you can save yourself when necessary. ”

"As the power you have received, as the organization to which you are attached, etc......., etc."

After hearing Ronan's words, Blade unconsciously fell into silence, frowning slightly for a while, and then stretching out again, as if he was in deep thought, and seemed to be just in a daze.

And Ronan paused for a moment, glanced at Blade's expression a few times, and then continued: "There is always pain in this world, and I don't want to see anyone around me, especially Lawn, who only thinks of resisting after experiencing labor pains. ”

"Okay, now it's time for you to do what you need to do, and I, too."

When Blade raised his eyelids to reveal his eyes that were almost cold, but actually contained a lot of content, Ronan whispered this, and with a stretch of his hand, he disappeared in front of Blade's eyes along with the light curtain.

…………

In the study of the villa of St. Missy's Manor, after the light curtain was gone, Ronan opened another blank light curtain again, and slowly stood up, put his hands on the table, and took advantage of the moonlight to look in a certain direction not far from the manor.

After staring in that direction for a while, an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on Ronan's face.

"Gambling ......"

Laughing, Ronan spoke softly again, but didn't know if it was his own words or if he was speaking to someone who might be on the other side of the blank light curtain:

"This is a very interesting game in itself, the chess pieces follow the wishes of the chess players, but sometimes they want to jump off the board, and the chess players think about how to rely on the chess pieces in their hands to win the other side of the game, this is not only a clash of minds, but more should be a collision of psychology and thought."

"It's all the same. It's just ......"

"The real winners are likely not to be on either side of the game at all, and certainly not the pieces that can't get out of control."

As the words fell, Ronan slowly withdrew his gaze from the window, then turned and walked out of the study.
