29 Chapter 29
However, it turns out that dogs have a lot of bad intentions.
The next day, after Rann got into Albert's car, he realized that the direction of the car did not seem to be right, and it seemed that he was driving in the direction of the west.
"Actually, we're going to Arkham University," Albert explained embarrassedly, "and your application is still ...... at the university."
Rann looked at Albert in confusion: "The content of your text message yesterday, I thought my application was with you." β
"It was meant to be," Albert blinked, his innocent blue eyes open, "but there is still an official seal to be stamped, so I'll send it back to school for you again." β
βοΌ Then you just give me an address, and I'll just get it myself. β
"But then," Albert muttered, "don't I have no excuse to ask you out......
The latter sentence was almost silent, but there was a little bit of overwhelmed grievances in it.
Rann opened his mouth slightly, he didn't know how to respond, and finally had to pretend not to hear and look out the window.
From Rann's point of view, the atmosphere was awkward, but Albert didn't seem to think so, and in the middle of the red light stop, he would quietly turn his head to peek at Ran's side face, and then quickly turn his head away before he realized it, with an innocent face that had done nothing.
Rann had to pretend that he didn't notice his move, saving him even more embarrassment.
Gradually, in the atmosphere of peeking in the car and pretending not to know, the car drove into the confines of the university town.
Arkham University is a comprehensive university located in the western area of Arkham City, most of the common majors can be found here, and the strength is not bad, but if you pursue a prestigious school, you will definitely not choose this school.
Hey, then again, since the background is all Arkham, why not just the entire Maskatonik University.
Rann casually asked, "Is this the only university in Arkham City?" β
Albert hesitated, "yes, what's wrong?" β
"Nothing." Hearing that there really wasn't a Mita, Rann was a little disappointed.
Although it has been expected for a long time, otherwise if there is really a secret university, the players will definitely have exploded in the forum a long time ago.
Universities abroad are different from those in China, the environment is relatively open, there are no fixed walls, and as soon as you enter the university town, you can see students gathering in twos and threes to talk and laugh and enjoy their relaxed youth.
Rann couldn't help but feel a little envious when he looked at it, he had long since left that naΓ―ve period, whether it was in his previous life or now, he hadn't entered the campus for a long time.
Albert accidentally caught a glimpse of the glimmer in his eyes and suddenly proposed, "Let's get out of the car and take a walk." β
Ran: "Okay. β
Albert parked the car in the parking area of the school, and the two got out of the car and walked side by side.
Walking down the tree-shaded path on the university campus, the feeling of nostalgia is even more profound, as if you could fall into a whirlpool of memories at any moment.
However, before Rann could take a few steps down, he was almost surrounded by the students.
"Look at it, that person looks good!"
"Really, a star on TV?"
"Handsome guy, can you add a number?!"
He hadn't been out for too long, and Rann had almost forgotten the power of his app (appearance), and before he was completely blocked in the middle of the road, Albert decisively pulled Rann away from the crowd and ran.
"Wait!"
Different from the environment in Ran's previous life, foreigners were obviously more enthusiastic and more open, seeing that Rann was about to escape, several enthusiastic college students hurriedly caught up, and Albert turned around, almost using the means of anti-reconnaissance, so he finally hid in the men's toilet for refuge.
"Hey, strange, people are obviously running this way?"
There was a faint sound outside the toilet, Albert and Rann were hiding in a cubicle, close to each other, and Rann realized that they seemed to be holding hands, and subconsciously wanted to break free, but Albert held them tighter.
"Shhhh
Albert made a silent gesture and whispered in Ran's ear, "Help me press the flush button on the toilet." β
Rann nodded and pressed the flush.
Fortunately, those people were not so perverted, they heard the sound of flushing inside, thought that someone was on the toilet and left, and did not squat down to look at the feet of the toilet cubicle, otherwise if Albert made some embarrassing requests, Rann would definitely not know what to do.
It was Albert, and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.
After getting rid of those enthusiastic face controls, Albert went out to buy a mask and hat for Ranne: "Sorry, I didn't expect this to happen before, I didn't prepare in advance." β
"It's obviously my pot, so don't take it to yourself." Rann took the mask and hesitated for a few seconds, "Why don't we go back to the car." β
"But I want to walk around here." "This is my alma mater, and I haven't been back for a long time. β
Rann stared at his expression, not knowing for a moment whether he was thinking about himself or if he really thought so.
After Rann put on the mask and hat, the two walked out of the exit on the other side, and after putting on the mask, their sense of presence finally dropped to a normal level, the reason why it is said to be a normal level is because Albert's own image is not bad, the sunny and cheerful type is especially popular with foreigners, and many well-dressed students are about to come up and talk.
Albert, however, avoided their gaze, and he walked closer to Ranne, breaking through the social distance, his arm faintly touching his.
Rann looked up suspiciously, and saw Albert's somewhat tense chin, "Sorry, it's a little easier." β
Sure enough, after seeing their intimate gesture on the road, many people retreated, perhaps because of the open environment of the university, and they did not pay more attention to the existence of suspected same-sex couples.
Rann didn't react to Albert's approach, and after losing sight of his surroundings, he did feel a lot more relaxed, and relaxed his body and walked quietly around the campus.
Suddenly, Albert stretched out his hand and pointed to the garden in the distance, which was relatively greened: "Do you remember over there, our school is quite famous for taking pictures, and there will be many young couples dating there at night." β
"Oh, and the school building over there, I go there every time I have morning classes, and I hate climbing that high."
Albert may have wanted to stir up Ran's college memories, but unfortunately, Rann has no memory of them, and he initially felt the atmosphere of the university, not the specific school.
Rann tried to look in the direction Albert was pointing and remembered, but no, he had no memory at all.
It was a completely foreign place to him.
Rann could only laugh dryly: "yes, it's nostalgic. β
He remembered how he had crossed over, and it seemed that he had crossed over to this body because he had been buried in the fire.
Where were they buried in the fire...... Seems to be a university?
But here......
Rann looked around, was it because it had been a few months, and judging by the smiling faces of the students around him, he couldn't tell at all that something had happened.
"By the way, Albert, do you know where I started the fire?"
Albert's body stiffened slightly: "Why do you ask that?" β
Rann: "It's nothing, I'm a little curious about the cause of the accident, and it seems that no police have come to me after the incident, so I still don't know the cause and effect...... Albert? β
Rann shouted several times, Albert didn't seem to come back to his senses, and finally raised his voice before Albert suddenly woke up: "Oh, I remembered, because that incident was basically confirmed to be an accident after investigation, so the police didn't investigate deeply." β
"Originally, they did want to come to you for a confession, but I stopped you, and I thought you were still recovering, so it was best not to be disturbed by so many people." Albert scratched his hair, "Are you going to go to the scene of the accident, but it's now renovated." β
Rann: "Well, I'd like to check it out. β
So Albert took Rann around most of the campus and went to the more remote laboratory building in the back.
"The place where you had the accident was on the fourth floor of the laboratory building, because a chemical experiment next door failed and caused a vibration, causing the chemicals in your room to shatter, react with the air, ignite a fire, and an explosion occurred in the room, and you were burned before you could dodge."
In the process of going upstairs, Albert explained to Rann in detail: "It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter, you just went to tidy up the equipment at that time, and it was completely unreasonable, and similarly, the research institute in the chemistry laboratory next door was also innocent, and in the end, the school lost a sum of money and paid part of your treatment costs." β
Rann nodded, it did sound like an accident.
But why did he faintly feel an indescribable sense of disobedience?
The two of them came to the fourth floor of the laboratory building, because of the sense of disobedience that arose out of nowhere, Rann was very attentive to his surroundings the whole time, but to his disappointment, he really didn't feel anything familiar.
The two of them came to a room on the fourth floor, there was a lot of clutter piled up in it, and it could be seen that the room had undergone a round of fresh painting, the color of the walls was not the same as the surroundings, it was obviously much newer, and the walls in the room were the same, and it seemed that after the lessons of the last explosion, all the laboratories involved in dangerous experiments on the fourth floor had thickened the walls.
As they wandered inside, the door to the next lab opened from the inside, and several graduate students in white coats looked at them in surprise: "Who are you?" β
"Oh, I'm sorry, we used to be students at this university as well, and when we go back to school today, it's a kind of reminiscing about our time on campus." Albert smiled and pointed to the door in front of him, "Has this been converted into a warehouse?" β
"Yes, because of the previous explosion and fire, chemicals were forbidden to be placed here, so it was converted into a warehouse." The graduate student shrugged his shoulders, "I heard that there was another unlucky guy who was burned, and the school lost a lot of money." β
"I see."
Rann's tense shoulders gradually relaxed, and the information was right, it seemed that he was overthinking.
After seeing the scene of the fire, nothing happened that touched his memory, nor anything unusual happened, Rann felt that there was nothing to see, and went to the administrative office with Albert to complete the formalities and prepare to go back.
On the way back, Albert's mood was a little inexplicably excited, as if he was suppressing tension and anticipation, which made Rann look at him several times.
Five minutes later, the blonde man's footsteps suddenly stopped: "I suddenly remembered that there is still something to do, can you wait for me for a while, I will be back soon." β
Rann nodded indifferently, and then watched Albert's figure walk away, when his phone vibrated again, and he took it out to find that it had received a text message from Cullens.
[I'm sorry for causing a commotion outside your psychiatric clinic yesterday, and I didn't mean to say anything offensive to you.] γ
[But please be careful of that policeman, he definitely has bad intentions.] γ
Bad intentions?
Rann was silent for a moment, couldn't it be the kind of ill-intentioned heart he understood?
Soon, the next text message was delivered, and the content on it made Rann frown.
[According to my investigation, Albert has been haunting the gatherings of some special people during his time as a police officer, please be careful, he may have an ulterior motive when approaching you. γ
Special...... Party?
The word party, if placed in the normal real world, may refer to formal or informal parties, after all, foreigners like this, but if it is in the world of the gram system, it is easy for Rann to think of something...... Not so good stuff.
At this moment, a cold hard object suddenly hit his lower back.
"Don't move." The man said in a low voice.
Ran's pupils constricted subconsciously, and he didn't notice any approaching footsteps or breath just now.
"Turn around slowly, don't play tricks."
Rann turned around slowly, he didn't dare to bet on whether the thing behind him would fire a bullet, and it wasn't that hard to get a gun in this background.
But when he turned around, it wasn't a gun that greeted Rann. Machine, not a stick, but a strong floral fragranceβ
Warm red roses filled his vision, and the blonde man smiled brightly, just like the June sun.
"I think it's more formal when the moment of confession should be flowered."
Passers-by noticed the movement and stopped to watch.
Albert was not timid, his blue eyes were full of love, his back was straight, he was not afraid of anyone's gaze, only when he looked at Ran, his eyes were full of nervousness and anticipation.
"I mean, if you don't have a relationship with someone you don't have yet, if you have a crush on me, can I be your boyfriend?"
Rann was completely caught off guard.
His mind flashed through Albert's frequent glances today, abnormal emotional management, and inexplicably expectant eyes.
It turns out that he was planning this.
The people around him stopped to see the excitement increasing, and Rann sighed, looked Albert in the eye and said, "I'm sorry. β
The blue eyes with anticipation dimmed suddenly, and Albert forced a smile: "Can I ask why?" β
Rann: "I want to ask, why do you like me?" β
"I can't tell," Albert scratched his hair, "probably the time I saw you in the hospital room, you were very weak with a lot of bandages. β
Well? Rann was stunned for a moment, in the ward? Isn't that recent.
"My heart was suddenly tearing and aching, and I thought I wanted to protect you, no matter what it takes." Albert whispered, "At that time, I suddenly discovered that you are the most important person in my heart. β
Rann suddenly didn't know what to say, and many complicated thoughts surged in his heart, but in the end they turned into firmness, no matter who Albert liked, the mystery that haunted Rann himself now was destined to be impossible for him to be with.
"I can't accept your confession." He said.
Albert hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it because of Archie?" β
Rann looked stunned and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with him, it's simply because I don't want to fall in love yet." β
"I see." Albert smiled reluctantly, wondering if he believed it, and then the blonde man cautiously asked, "Then if you want to talk about it later, can I consider it?" β
"Then we'll talk about it then." Rann mumbled.
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, Rann turned and walked towards Albert's car, and halfway through found that he had not followed.
"Should I go and get a ride myself?"
"No, no," Albert breathed a sigh of relief and followed with the unaccepted rose, "Seriously, I'm really afraid you'll turn around and leave, and then ignore me again because I confessed to you." β
"If you continue to dwell, that's very likely."
"Then I must be less present in front of you!" Albert immediately gave a guarantee and stared at Rann pitifully, "Can you stop blocking me, I promise that I won't chase you again until you open the signal that I can chase you, please, I don't want to close this pass."
Department stiffened. β
Rann pursed his lips, originally determined not to look at Albert's eyes, lest he be soft-hearted, but Albert came up rather shamelessly.
He seemed to know very well what his strengths could poke at Rann's liking.
Ryan pushed him away angrily, "Then you just wait." β
This is not a stupid dog cultivator at all, he was deceived, this is a white cut black dog cultivator!
The same people mistook me!
Albert happily sent Rann back, although it was not the result he wanted the most, but at least it was not the worst one, as long as Rann did not ignore him completely, Albert could accept it, love was a long march, fortunately, he was fully mentally prepared.
Even because he got carried away for a while, he even forgot to send it back to the apartment, but stopped at the door of the psychological clinic.
The player, who had been waiting around the psychiatric clinic for a long time, saw Rann get out of the blonde man's car and walk into his clinic with a blank face.
"Wait? What's the situation!? β
"Oh, there's a situation! My cp isn't cool yet! β
Ignoring the hustle and bustle of the players outside, Rann closed the door to the psychiatric clinic, leaning against the window and sending a text message to Karlens after watching Albert's car drive away.
γCome hereγ
At nine o'clock in the evening, Cullens came.
"Tell me about the text you sent today," Rann said, smiling at Cullens, "but what a coincidence, it happened to be when I was on a trip with Albert." β
By implication, he was suspicious of Cullens, after all, the timing of the text message was too coincidental.
Cullens did not change his face: "I would never dare to spy on your itinerary, to be precise, I am spying on Albert, who has been investigating the matter of that banquet recently, and I am afraid that the man will investigate you." β
The reason given by Cullens was indeed flawless, and Rann nodded, which was kind of acknowledging his reasoning.
"Also, I want to confirm to you that Albert doesn't know who you are, right?"
"yes, I didn't tell him."
"That's good," Callens breathed a sigh of relief, and then made a small report, "He's got a big problem, and trust me, Lord Ranne, he's approaching you with other motives." β
Rann looked at him with some surprise: "I'm curious, why do you have such a big opinion of him, just because he is the one who wants to arrest you?" β
"No, I'm not that malicious towards the police, and if they do their job well, I'll appreciate them, at least not all of the taxes I pay are used to feed the pigs."
Cullens' words didn't sound like a death row inmate who could be caught in the police station at any moment, but Ran's instincts as a psychiatrist told him that Cullens wasn't lying.
It's a strange thing, considering that Cullens is now the new leader of Black Poker, the biggest cancer in Arkham City's underground.
"But Albert is different, I used to think he would be a good cop, but he cheated on me, he cheated on everyone!" Culens' expression distorted slightly, his eyes filled with anger, "He's not even as good as those corrupt pigs, he's the biggest threat to the city." β
Ran's eyebrows jumped slightly: "What do you say?" β
Cullens calmed down a little, but his expression was still not very good: "That was a few years ago, not many people remember it, I was still a minions at the bottom of the gang, and black poker was nowhere near the scale it is today, and we had a sworn enemy at that time, an organization called 'Green Horse'β‘β‘." β
"Due to some historical reasons, the territory of Black Poker and the occurrence of the Green Pony overlapped, and there were several bloodsheds between the two gangs, but fortunately compared to our Black Poker, the Green Pony is a gang of outsiders who do not have the most basic understanding and respect for the city, and some of them provoked a mysterious association and burned down their stronghold,
Then in a. In the night, the green pony disappeared, and the physical sense disappeared, and even their families did not let go! β
"I was sent to inquire about the headquarters of the Green Horse, and the police set up a cordon, and I crept over the wall to enter, hiding in the shadows by the wall, and heard Albert say with my own mouth:
'Handle it cleanly and leave no traces. ββ
Recalling this, Cullens gritted his back molars tightly.
Rann shook his head suddenly, and suddenly felt that a second illusory point of light seemed to faintly appear in the gray mist space, but compared to Edmund's bright white point of light, the color of this point of light was much lighter, and it was in a state of flux.
An effect popped into Ran's mind, and as Cullens spoke, he seemed to be faintly visible.
A weak low-level thug, coerced by his boss at the time to sneak into the scene surrounded by the police to check the situation inside, he climbed over the wall without knowing anything, but saw hell.
One by one, the big men who don't usually see them fell to the ground, covered with stumps and internal organs, their guns and security did not play any role, and those who had used violence to intimidate others now fell under even greater violence.
The little man who strayed into hell was so frightened that he hid in the shadow of the corner of the ruined wall, covering his mouth and nose tightly and not daring to make a sound.
Then, by chance, he saw the rising star of the Arkham City Police Department standing on the scene, but the face that represented justice in the past was full of gloom.
That face is the face of the blonde man who confessed to Rann today.
Rann didn't look at it for long, and the picture was over, and the new white point of light was still coming and going, extremely unstable.
Subconsciously, Rann blurted out: "Do you simply hate him, or is it because you see yourself who is weak, like an ant that can be easily trampled to death?" β
After talking about this past, Cullens never expected to receive such a response.
He thought Rann would be wary of Albert, but Rann was silent for a moment and said something like this.
The eyes that seemed to see through everything pierced through Calens' self-perceived disguise and defenses, through the fear and weakness of himself that he had tried so hard to hide.
Cullens opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Sending Karlens away, Rann sat in his office, unmoved for a long time.
Did Albert approach himself with other motives?
He hadn't thought about this possibility before, mainly because he felt that he didn't have anything to covet from the other party.
Rann thought back to the short time he spent with Albert before, and he didn't think that the emotion in Albert's eyes was fake, and the emotion of 'liking' was the most difficult to disguise, because if he really liked it, even if he didn't speak, that friendship would come out of his eyes.
Moreover, if he wanted to be close to him, there was no need to find this reason.
But again, Cullens' words are equally true...... The illusory little spot that suddenly appeared in the gap in his dream, Rann guessed that it might be something similar to a faith, or something that only comes from becoming a believer.
Edmund's white point of light is very solid, and Culens's is a bit illusory, probably because although the other party wants to be loyal to him, he is actually not so sincere?
There is also Archie, the other party doesn't seem to know Albert's hidden side, otherwise he wouldn't have changed his appearance before.
Thinking about it, Rann suddenly sighed, something is wrong, he obviously just wants to live an ordinary life, how can he feel that there are more and more troubles around him.
Maybe it's time to get out of here.
The idea of moving came back to his mind, Rann had saved enough money, and it was completely enough to start over in another city, but it was better to work hard at the beginning than to stay here and die one day.
However, before moving, Rann was still very concerned about the unknown forces that had been directed at him before, and he didn't know if the other party's range of activities was limited to Arkham, if they could catch up after he moved, wouldn't they be doing useless work, and might also pose danger to his roommates.
Just then, Ogle walked in.
Rann looked up at him and asked tentatively, "I've been feeling like moving out for a while lately?" β
Ogle was struck by lightning: "Was last night's dish too salty?" β
"No, no!" Rann hurriedly waved his hand, how could he, who was in charge of eating, dislike food, "It's just that I've had something going on lately, and I'm worried that it might cause you danger......"
Ran's words grew quieter and quieter, as he saw Ogelmer staring at him silently, his eyes pitiful under his long messy hair.
Like a large Tibetan mastiff that has only been abandoned.
"It's okay, I didn't say anything." Rann raised his hands and compromised in a hopeless manner.
Who called him a dog pie.
Ogle instantly recovered as before: "Eat paella tonight? β
Rann thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Can I add a prawn." β
"Of course."
During the night, Rann ate three plates with tears in his eyes, and secretly vowed that no matter what, he must investigate the mysterious hostile forces in Arkham, at least to make sure that they would not threaten his and Ogle's safety.
He can't live without a male mom!
12 o'clock in the evening.
Archie entered the gap in his dreams and sat down in front of the man in black with a heavy heart.
He'd been here many times before, and though it hadn't always gone well, it was the first time he had helped the evil god, which made him feel inexplicably guilty about betraying something.
There were also some underlying worries, and from Rann's words, he could vaguely sense the conspiracy behind it, and if he knew more deeply, he feared that he might not be able to get out.
But they were all sitting here, and there was no room to return, Archie took a deep breath, ready to meet the question of the man in black.
Man in Black: "What is the tallest mountain in the world?" β
Archie was stunned for a moment, why isn't it turtle soup?
But he quickly replied, "Mount Everest." β
"Second question, what is the second highest mountain in the world?"
Archie suddenly had an ominous premonition, and after thinking about it with difficulty, he replied uncertainly: "Chogori Peak? β
"Correct, then ......" the man in black gradually revealed his sinister face, "what are the third and fourth highest peaks called?" β
Archie: "......"
Who has time to memorize this kind of knowledge??
Archie felt that something was wrong, didn't all the questions he asked before be reasoning-related questions, why did it suddenly become a general knowledge question, anyway, this question bank is still changing, but the quiz game can't end when it has started, so you can only accept the punishment head-on.
The three problems failed, Archie lost the function of his left ear, right eye, and nose, and in contrast, three new organs appeared on the face of the man in black.
Even though he knew that this was only temporary, when he found that the organ vacancy on the man in black was gradually filled, an inexplicable palpitation filled his mind.
"Then now it's my turn to ask." Archie suppressed this uneasiness and repeated the question Rann had asked last night, "Who was the person who unleashed the necroppy in Arkham City the day before yesterday?" β
Hearing this, the man in black paused and replied, "Sauron Hogg." β
Sure enough, only the first question was answered.
Archie frowned, noticing that the man in black seemed to pause for a moment before answering, which was also something he hadn't done before, was there anything wrong with this answer?
But now he can't ask a second time, tonight he has lost three parts of his sight, hearing, and smell, and he can't continue to use his ability for 24 hours for the sake of caution.
After Archie exited the dream gap, the man in black touched his vacant heart, and for the first time said something other than a question and an answer:
"It's a pity...... Can't draw ......"
He muttered, got up from the stone table, and disappeared into the fog of the Dream Gap.
The next day, shortly after Rann arrived at the psychotherapy room, Archie's phone called.
"The man you asked me to investigate is Sauron Hogg."
Rann listened quietly, but there was no follow-up, and he couldn't help but ask, "Only this?" β
"Yes." Archie said, touching one of his eyes, which had lost his sight, "That's all I got tonight, and if you're willing to give me some more time, I'll try again tomorrow night." β
"No need." Rann said on the other side of the phone, "It's good to know that, you're doing a great job, and in return, I'll give you a message...... Pay more attention to Albert, and maybe you'll have a windfall. β
Archie was stunned for a moment: "What does this mean?" β
He didn't finish asking, and Rann had already hung up.
It is conceivable that he did not continue to prompt his intentions.
Archie fidgeted.
Albert...... Why is Albert's name here?
He understands that he is a young man who grew up with him, with a sunny and cheerful personality and a righteous heart, and he has set his goal of becoming a police officer early on.
He should be a life bathed in the sun and walking through his own smooth road.
But Ran's tone just now faintly hinted that it didn't seem to be so simple behind this.
"Archie?"
A familiar voice came from behind him, and Archie spun around.
"Why do you look like a ghost?" Albert looked at him strangely.
"You...... How did it end up here? β
When he called Rann, Archie deliberately chose a quieter corner, and the corridor next to it led to a warehouse where no one would normally pass by.
"Well, I'll get the tools." "The water dispenser in the office is broken, and we'll see if we can fix it," Albert said. β
Archie looked directly at him, then lowered his eyes to his empty hand: "What about the tools?" β
"I didn't find it, maybe someone else borrowed it." Albert said casually, "You're done calling, do you want to go back together?" β
The excuse was perfect, and Archie couldn't see any signs of lying on his face, so he nodded, and when he went back to the office with Albert, Archie noticed a shiny ornament flashing around Albert's neck.
When did he start wearing necklaces?
"Do you care about that?"
Archie came back to his senses and saw Albert take it down.
It was a necklace with a ring on all sides and a triangular piece of black metal in the middle, which seemed to be able to rotate, and as soon as Archie wanted to take it, he saw Albert put it back first: "I won't show it to you, it was given by an important person." β
Archie: "The important person, is it Rann who you went to see last time?" β
"Well, sort of."
Albert smiled sweetly, like every fool who falls in love, looking no threat, and Archie's original vigilant heart gradually let go.
Maybe Rann was referring to something else. He thought about it with luck.
But just in case, after 24 hours, use that ability again. οΌοΌοΌ.
