Vol 2 Chapter 24

An Xu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked up at him blankly. Chris smiled at her and said, “My vacation is over, and I’m going back to the patrol team in Abery. If you don’t come today, you will only receive a message from the caravan.”

“You don’t care about me anymore?” she blurted out.

“I will write you a letter. I found the Pulan caravan in Alingu, and they will deliver letters for us regularly-the letter will be placed in the tree hole every time we meet, and you also put the letter in Here, someone will come to pick it up. I will come to see you every year during the holidays.” Chris said, in order to ease the heavy atmosphere, he joked: “Fortunately, you have already come out, otherwise the caravan will deliver food every day. Rookie rangers make a lot of money.”

The joke didn’t work, An Xu’s high spirits after being released from the ascetic’s small courtyard was completely blown away now. Leaving the Ascetic Monastery is equivalent to being able to eat enough, to be able to walk around at will, and to be able to meet Chris without having to pinch, and to go to other places with him. But Chris is leaving? How can he go? In An Xu’s dream, only when the characters he didn’t pay attention to disappeared, he hadn’t encountered a situation where the characters themselves said they were going to leave.

She looked at Chris in confusion and sadness, and her stomach growled in response to the situation. An Xu ran to Chris whenever he had time, and he only ate a little from the night before yesterday, which was far from enough. She ran over to see Chris in such a hurry, but Chris said goodbye to her, the more I thought about it, the more I felt wronged. Wasn’t her desire to keep Chris strong enough?

Chris doesn’t need to read her mind to understand her slumped shoulders and crying expression, but normal people would not think that she is wondering why the world doesn’t revolve around her. He heard the grunt in the girl’s stomach, thought he understood the reason for her frown, and took out the untouched dry food from his bosom. “Just now I thought you wouldn’t come today, I ate the prepared dishes, so let’s make do with this.” He said.

An Xu glared at him for a few seconds, but in the end he didn’t have the guts not to eat. She took the food and chewed it out in anger, thinking that she would not be able to eat Chris’s cooking for the last meal. Chris watched her eat, and the sorrow in his heart was no less than her, and the reason was more concerned about the country and the people than her.

He wanted to leave, An Xu was released, and the people in the academy were superstitious about the gods, and immediately regarded An Xu as a vegetarian believer. Chris was very worried that if he didn’t watch, Ann would do something shocking to the world.

Always maintain an attitude of indifference to everything, and sooner or later just throw everything away because of boredom. Chris racked his brains to find something that would hold Ann back. What does an alpha at this age like? Ann really likes to eat, but Chris can’t feed her every day (this young man has unconsciously developed a little self-consciousness as a breeder), and he always has to find ways to bribe her other than food.

Bonds, um, friends should work, right…? Chris thought.

“Ann, has everyone’s attitude towards you changed since you became a favored person?” He tried to ask.

“Hmm.” An said sullenly.

“Didn’t you say that everyone was prejudiced against you before? Now because of the favor of the gods, the prejudices will cancel each other out. At this time, as long as you are willing to communicate with them, you can find friends among them.”

“What do I want such a friend?” An Xu asked rhetorically, “The person who changed his previous attitude just because a statue of a **** was shining, and the person who chooses to be my friend will also break up with me immediately because of God’s instructions. Let They go and be friends with God! It’s not as good as a bowl of mushroom soup, at least it’s edible.”

In An Xu’s view, the “friends” obtained under the “God’s Family” are not friends at all, at best they are acquaintances who gather together for certain purposes and can use each other at a certain stage. Anxu has very few friends in reality, and everyone really loves and trusts each other. All kinds of good girlfriends who don’t see you and friends who lie to you for money are insulting these two words. It’s your fault that you don’t know people clearly and throw everything in the range of friends.

Can collecting all seven “friends” summon the dragon? Can’t. Then why do you have to find a bunch of people to make up the numbers.

Chris hit a snag and screamed inwardly. He felt Anna. Sullivan must have had enough of being alone, and his new personality had no friends at all. He not only regretted stepping on the other party’s painful feet, but also felt sorry for the other party’s self-enclosed. The young ranger rubbed his nose, pondered for a long time, and finally came up with an idea that he didn’t know was good or bad.

“But there are also people who didn’t hate you before, but are full of longing and expectations for you now?” he said.

“Maybe.” Ann said nonchalantly.

“If it’s for them…?”

“Because they expect it without permission, so I have to change for them?” An Xu sneered, biting the dry food in his mouth, “If a stranger on the road says he likes you, is it because of this liking that you will be with me?” Are they married?”

Bad idea, worse idea than before. Chris covered his face with his hands in his heart, thinking that he should just shut up. Regardless of the nature, most nobles like a good reputation. Chris himself never changes his mind for what others say, but he knows how to use nobles’ love of feathers to make them restrain their behavior. Unfortunately, Ann cannot be treated like a nobleman.

“Sorry, no one has to be responsible for other people’s expectations. It’s too heavy and it’s easy to put the cart before the horse.” Chris had to confess, “I just hope to find a reason to persuade you to avoid any bloodshed. Is it just counterproductive?”

“That’s not the case.” An Xu said, “It doesn’t matter whether people love me or hate me, whether I hate others or like them.” She paused, and said angrily, “You’re leaving anyway.”

“I’ll definitely be back next August,” Chris promised. After he answered the girl’s coquettish words, thinking about the previous sentence she said, he felt a little creepy for some reason.

He asked, “Why do you think that? Doesn’t matter what?”

“It doesn’t affect anything.” An Yi said in a depressed mood, “When I can control it, everything is as I like. Once I can’t control it, everything will disappear by itself at any time, whether I like it or not.”

“Are you talking about memory?” Chris asked carefully, guessing that Anna. Does Miss Sullivan still exist in Ann’s body? No, he quickly corrected himself, that was Miss Anna’s body.

“Whether it’s a memory or the world, it will disappear when it’s time to disappear.” An Xu said indifferently, “It’s good that you still know how to say goodbye to me. Next time we meet, who knows if we are still us? ”

What An Xu meant was that dreams are as fickle as clouds, and the next Chris they see might just be another dreamer with the same appearance. It is also possible that as the bizarre dream unfolds, An Xu will forget the existence of Chris, and then he will disappear in the next dream. The girl was melancholy, and her second-year illness became more serious. She just felt that the world was going to disappear anyway, and it didn’t matter what she did.

And what Chris understood was obviously far from what she thought.

anna. Sure enough, Sullivan still existed in this body. He thought heavily, that’s right, the original soul might just fall into a deep sleep, not knowing what the newborn soul was like, but the newborn soul could feel the condition of the original owner. Ann could only say that because she wasn’t sure that Anna would want to come at any moment and replace her.

That’s not true, Anna. Miss Sullivan is the owner of the body, and she just took back her own body from the agent. If the splitting of the soul is a kind of disease, the return of the original owner should be regarded as a cure, but Chris couldn’t help feeling resistant to this idea.

He is still not sure how closely the Sullivan tragedy is related to Anna herself. Will she be the timid and introverted girl who was rumored to be, or the murderer who crazily slaughtered her family? The introverted girl is destined to suffer from the loss of her family, unable to live well in this new environment that suddenly arrived. If she is found with one body and two souls, will the seminary continue to take care of her for the sake of the gods, or will it be for “exorcism”? she burns? One body and two souls have always been equivalent to demon possession on the Yamenan continent, and there are very few people who don’t care as much as Chris’ mother. Crazy murderers are worse, no doubt causing bodily harm to others or themselves, something Chris would never want to see happen.

Aside from such a high-sounding overall view, Chris himself does not want to see Anna come back. Anna’s return means Ann’s deep sleep. The stronger Anna is, the weaker Ann will be, and may even disappear. The only one Chris knew, from beginning to end, was “Ann.”

In the final analysis, it is still selfish, Lord, please forgive me. Chris sighed inwardly. During these days, he tested her, took care of her, cared about her, had a headache for her and loved her, and also had a deep sense of responsibility: Anna. Sullivan still has more than ten years in the past, but Ann is blank. Even if Ann is the one who caused the tragedy, is it fair to punish her for not teaching her? At least for now, no one is more suitable to take the responsibility of leading her to adapt to this world than Chris himself who knows the truth (?).

“It’s not like that.” Chris bent down and put An Xu’s shoulders on his shoulders, “Even if we exist in the world for a short time, what we do will leave traces on the world. Whether these effects are good or bad, It’s all about our choice.”

Ann looked at him without nodding or denying.

“I can’t find a reason to convince you yet, but I will continue to work hard to communicate with you, and I will definitely come here at this time of year.” The young man who was born to work hard said seriously, “Before that, you Can you take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back?”

An stared at him intently, as if seeing something new. After a long time, the girl smiled and said, “We have agreed.”
