CHAPTER XXI

"Eh, isn't Kaoru here?" When Kate returned to the main building, she saw Ling alone in the lobby on the first floor of the main building. Didn't those two imps stay together all the time?

"When we came back from District 5, we went our separate ways to rest, and he should still be resting. Are you looking for him? Ling sprinkled the bait prepared by the edge of the pond for the fish in the pond into the pool. I don't know any of the things raised in the Red Moon Pool.

"It's okay, just ask. Xiaoling, your body is fine, right? Eh, what's that weird pattern on your arm? "Kate has just finished eating at the sixth lap, so she has a lot of energy right now.

"Well, this is a talisman drawn by Zhuge Xun for me, saying that it can save my life when it is dangerous." Ling looked at the runes on her arm, and thought that it would be washed away when she encountered water, but it was not washed off when she took a bath. After asking Kaoru, I found out that this rune will only disappear after it has played its role.

"Xiaoling, you should rely more on Dad and me at this time, although you were wrongfully killed by Chell and Lake, which made you feel very unhappy, but you should find someone to talk to, always keep things in your heart, and you will slowly get sick." Kate said.

"What do you say? Who else did I kill besides Scher? Linghu looked at Kate suspiciously.

"Huh...... That ......"

"Kate, you're back!" Zhuge Xun, who was on the second floor, heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly interrupted.

"Yo, Kaoru-chan, long time no see!"

"You've just come back from outside, go back to your room and catch up on your beauty sleep."

"Kaoru actually cares about me? What's going on? Oh......" Kate looked at Zhuge Xun and then turned her head to look at Ling. "You two?"

"Who did you just say died?" Ling continued to ask.

"That's ......" Kate saw Zhuge Xun's expression and said, "Don't you know that Lake is dead?" Is that the mayor of District 5 you've been to? Could it be that Kaoru killed it? ”

Zhuge Xun lowered his head weakly, this vampire who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic!

"What's going on? Lake is dead? Zhuge Xun ...... Not you? Ling didn't think Zhuge Xun would kill.

"How did you hear about this?" Ling asked Kate.

"Am I saying the wrong thing? Forget it, leave them alone, I'm going to catch up on beauty sleep......" Kate realized that she seemed to have said something more, the last time Xiaoling used power, because she lent him qi, so she could feel the pain that his body endured when he used that power, and if this pain came a few more times, even if he was a pure-blooded vampire, he couldn't bear it.

"Wait a minute!" Ling wants to call Kate, who is leaving.

"Just ask Kaoru if there's anything, he should know." Kate also ignored Zhuge Xun's murderous gaze.

"The talkative one. Ling, I didn't want you to know about this, and it's not something you should know. Zhuge Xun sighed and said.

Ling took the key to her room from her neck and handed it to Zhuge Xun.

"I won't do anything stupid again, if you don't believe me, I can keep my key with you first, so I can't use the Gate of Time."

Zhuge Xun looked at the key. "You don't have to, we're all worried about your body, and the current situation is not something you can turn around alone. And if you really want to do something, we can't stop you. ”

"I'm sorry."

"You don't have to tell me I'm sorry, in fact, the person who worries you the most is ......" Zhuge Xun looked up at the second floor.

Kate, who was discovered, smiled awkwardly. "You ...... What are you talking about? Can I listen to it? ”

"Do you still want to know about the affairs of District 5?" Zhuge Xun asked.

"Hmm. Kate says Lake is dead, and the murderer is me? What's going on? ”

"I knew it wouldn't be Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling was merciless in dealing with aliens, but it was different for people...... Actually, I heard it at six laps. Kate came down from the upper floors again and sat down beside Ling.

"The second wanted warrant issued by the Hunters' Guild about you:

'ZERO is suspected of killing Lake, the former head of the 5th Civilian District, and his children Loko, Loton, and Lomia. In addition, the original proposer, Shersebas, also died at his hands, so an S-Class wanted notice is now issued for ZERO, and those who see it can be killed on the spot. ’”

"And who's the new District 5 administrator?" Ling asked calmly.

"It's the Sith." Zhuge Xun replied.

"When we left the fifth district, I left a 'sound note' there, and I also know what happened in the fifth district."

"The murderer is the Sith?" Ling asked.

"Think so. But it was ...... who really killed him," Zhuge Kaoru glanced at Kate.

"I didn't kill him! Xiaoling: I really didn't do it this time! Kate hurriedly cleared up the relationship.

"This incident was planned by the Sith and that Lightson, but it was discovered by Loko, and Loko could have solved this matter, but halfway through, the man in the cloak we saw in Edrakha's office was the one who turned the situation around, and it was he who turned the situation around."

Zhuge Xun could vaguely feel that the man in the cloak was the person Kate had been looking for.

"The man in the cape?" After Kate finished speaking, she found that Ling and Zhuge Xun were looking at her. "Ah, is that the same person from the Third Circle?"

"What are you going to do?" Zhuge Xun asked Ling.

"I don't want to lie to you...... Because I have experienced despair, I know what despair tastes like, and I don't want anyone else to be like me, but I find that everyone with whom I have a relationship is in turn implicated by me, first the little fishing village, then Pudder, and now Lake. I...... I don't know what to do anymore. ”

Ling looked at the room key in her hand, is it really okay to live in this world by herself?

"Xiaoling, what are you talking about!" Kate hit Ling the back.

"You are the child I finally had, and the loveliest person in the world, and those talents are not because of you! If it weren't for you, the small fishing village might have been destroyed in the hands of pirates, and if it weren't for you, the second circle wouldn't have been rebuilt so quickly, and Morley wouldn't have been saved, how sad I would have been without you!

Xiaoling, in fact, Dad, I don't want you to be in danger at all, I just want you to live under Dad's care, and let me make up for my unfulfilled responsibilities.

But my Xiaoling is not that kind of person, so what about my father, although I am reluctant, but I still want Xiaoling to live the life she likes, if you encounter difficulties, you can generously come to your father for help, this is the mode of our father and son.

Although you don't want to admit me yet, it doesn't matter, Dad and I will always be your strongest backing! Kaoru Kono, too! ”

Although Zhuge Xun was dissatisfied with Kate's decision for herself, she did not refute it. "Yes, Ling, no matter what we do or say, the final decision is yours after all.

"What's going on over there in District 5...... The Sith is from District Five, and I don't think he's going to do anything to put District Five in crisis. That Lightson was only used by the cloaked man and the 'adult', so the people we have to deal with in the end are the cloaked man and the 'adult', and only when they disappear will the world become calm. Ling knew that even if she solved Lightson now, she wouldn't be able to change the fact that Lake was dead, and what she should do now was to find out who were behind the scenes.

"Xiaoling, I just remind you of one thing, that is: people are not as simple as you think. Since the beginning of this world, all kinds of strife have existed, so the solution to the problem is not to settle it by just one person. "Kate has witnessed how many things have happened in her own unique capacity.

"I agree with what Kate said." Zhuge Xun agreed. Especially after my own 'blood exchange', I have seen more.

"It's rare that we agree on the same page.

I think this pavilion of Xiaohonghong also brings together all of us who are higher than human beings, and allows us to observe human society, because we are also aliens.

Therefore, it is better for Xiaoling not to do too many things that make Xiao Honghong or this Red Moon Pavilion difficult. You say yes, Miss Red Moon? Kate asked Red Moon who had come back from outside.
