Lorenzo turned and entered a small fork in the road, Lidney followed closely behind him.
"Lorenzo, why are you here?"
Lorenzo walked to a small wooden house, took out the key and opened the door, "My home is here."
Lidney followed Lorenzo into the cabin.
The wooden house is very crowded. There is only one set of tables, chairs and a bed. There is a bag of sweet potatoes and a grill in the corner, but it is very warmly decorated. There is also a fluffy carpet carefully laid on the floor. A snow-white cat jumped out of the bed. Come down and rub against Lorenzo's feet.
"Meow~~~"
Lorenzo knelt down and picked up the white cat, gently scratching its chin.
"You can rest here for the night. I'll keep watch for you, and I'll take you out tomorrow." Lorenzo put the cat back into the cat litter next to the bed, and went to the table to pour hot water for Lidney.
"Thank you... where the hell is this place?" Lidney sat down at the table, took Lorenzo and handed him the water glass.
The chair was covered with soft cushions and pillows, and it was very comfortable. The warm water came through the wall of the cup, warming Lidney's frozen hands.
"This is the poor street, the only place in Huajiexing where day and night alternate." Lorenzo sat down on another chair and poured himself a glass of water, "But after night comes dawn, there is neither dusk nor day."
Lidney opened his mouth and wanted to ask Lorenzo if he knew how he got here.
"You want to ask you how you came here, right?" Before Lidney could speak, Lorenzo spoke, his gray eyes looked at Lidney quietly, "The black crow merged with the original machine With the power of the armored warrior Yongyue, he randomly transferred everyone on the Philia except for the elf named Hai'an."
Lidney held the water glass tightly, "How do you know this? How do I know if you are lying to me."
Lorenzo sighed, "I'm telling the truth, you can go out tomorrow, you can find a free newspaper, tomorrow's headline must say that Alexia is a mutated dead bird, intending to slaughter Everyone on the Philia, Marshal Ivan Randall used his mecha to save everyone on board, oh, maybe some civilians died, but that doesn't matter."
"Huajie Xing does not allow mechs to enter!"
"I think you must have not read the "Flower Street Star Peace Law Regulations". Regarding the issue of banning mechas, there is a line under the last law: 'Except for original mechas', because they are another species, aren't they? ?” Lorenzo sneered, and drank the warm water in the glass, “What a pathetic rule.”
That's right, the original mech fighters made by Oliverne have self-awareness, and they are another species recognized in the interstellar world.
"Why do I know so much? Hahahahaha, I also want to be a person who doesn't know anything." Lorenzo smiled seemingly indifferently, but tears kept flowing in his eyes, and finally covered his face and cried bitterly , "Huajie Star is obviously the most peaceful place, who would have thought that an interstellar war would break out here..."
Making a deal with the devil, how could it be possible to escape unscathed
Lorenzo is Paladin's favorite student, because he has a pair of natural gray eyes, and he is a person with extremely high musical talent. Paladin once said that he is like his own child, inheriting all the artistic talents from him.
But it's just inherited artistic talent.
He can quickly learn all the knowledge Paladin taught him, and he is far superior to Dean in music, and he is even as good as Paladin in medical skills.
Both Dean and him were born in the poor streets, and both were picked up by Paladin in the same year, and they were regarded as students and taught carefully. The only difference is that Dean is a pure human.
Unlike Lorenzo, Dean was born an orphan. He had a pair of pure human parents, but when Dean was five years old, they died of illness—because they couldn't survive the cold winter of Huajiexing.
So Dean prefers to study medicine with Paladin rather than music.
Lorenzo and Dean got along very well at first, until later, they fell in love with someone at the same time—Abby.
Abby was a homeless child that Dean picked up on East Street. They lived in North Street, the safest place in the poor street. Abby was dirty when he was picked up, but after cleaning it up But beautiful, and there is no doubt that Lorenzo and Dean, who have no life experience, are in love with him.
But Abby loves Dean.
Lorenzo couldn't understand why Abby fell in love with Dean, but not himself, since Dean was inferior to him in every way, even a pure human being.
The seed of jealousy gradually took root in Lorenzo's heart, but it was covered by the soft soil and did not break through. Later, Dean went to join the army. Before he left, he entrusted Lorenzo, who he thought was a good friend, to take care of Abby and let Abby wait for him with peace of mind. When he comes back, he will definitely lead Abby out of the poor street and lead him to different life.
Dean did it. He entered the Imperial Legion as a pure human being. The news quickly spread back to Huajiexing, causing heated discussions in the poor street. Abby was very happy during that time, and she was full of satisfaction looking forward to Dean's return to bring him Walk.
Then came the bad news that Dean was injured. Abby refused to believe it at first, until Dean returned to Huajie Star with wounds all over his body.
Dean knelt in front of Abby, hugged his waist and kept crying, but Abby didn't shed a single tear. They still lived quietly on North Street, as if nothing had happened. Dean needed medicine to heal his wounds, and the poor Street medicine is very expensive, but Dean has a lot of pensions, enough to buy medicine, Dean asked Abby to find Lorenzo to bring medicine, but Abby knew Lorenzo liked him, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not come to Lorenzo Instead, without telling Dean, he secretly went to the dangerous South Street to buy medicine.
There was nothing wrong in the first few days, but one night a few weeks later, Abby never came back. Dean went to find Lorenzo, only to find out that Abby had been keeping him from buying medicine on South Street.
Then Dean also ran out to find Abby on South Street.
Lorenzo followed closely behind Dean, and when they saw Abby, a group of men were pressing on Abby and doing whatever they wanted.
Abby stretched out his hand and asked Dean to save him. Dean, who was already disabled, couldn't beat them at all. Soon Dean was also crushed to the ground, and a man took off his pants and moved on top of him. The man at the head is an evolved human, or an evolved human who has awakened the sword tiger's bloodline.
"Dean, I'll find someone to save you..." Lorenzo had already forgotten what he was thinking at the time, maybe because the seed of jealousy buried deep in his heart finally germinated.
He just ran away.
He heard Abby's screams behind him, but he didn't tell anyone about it, nor did he find anyone to save them.
Lorenzo fled back home and closed the door tightly. The next day he heard that two people died on South Street and were randomly buried under a tree on the side of North Street. That night, Lorenzo took advantage of the night , holding a shovel, wanting to change the cemetery for his former "friend"—at least not on the side of the road for people to trample all day long.
When he found the tree, there was a man kneeling under the tree, covered in mud, like a devil crawling out of a tomb, with his head bowed, holding another man in his arms, and standing beside him was another man. Gray armor.
The man turned his head and Lorenzo recognized him. It was Dean.
Dean smiled, and gently brushed the hair sticking to Abby's face, "Abby told me last night before going out that after I recover from my injury, he wants to move out of North Street and buy a shop on Long Street. , live a good life." As he spoke, Dean lowered his head almost piously, and kissed Abby's lips.
After standing up, Lorenzo found that Dean's eyes had turned gray, exactly the same color as the so-called daytime in the poor street, with strong hatred and inextricable despair.
"This world makes me sick."
Since then, Lorenzo has never seen Dean again, and does not know where he went with Abby's body.
As if wanting to atone for his sins, Lorenzo went to Long Street to find a piece of land and started selling baked sweet potatoes. Every profit was donated to people in the poor street, and he only left a little money to wrap his stomach. The night before the Lightbank riot, Alila approached him and asked him for a favor.
Sing a song to Jemin to confuse him and distract him so they can take out Lydney.
Alila gave him two choices, agree, or let her kill all the people in Beijie.
Lorenzo had no choice.
He still remembered that when the riot broke out, Alila stood beside him, "You did a good job, but unfortunately you are not as good as Dean."
"... You said you would release people from Beijie."
"That's right." Alila smiled brightly, "I won't touch them, but you know? Dean is back."
Alila's schadenfreude laughter was very piercing, she leaned close to his ear and chuckled, "I don't need to let you go..."
Lorenzo didn't know if the result would have been completely different if he hadn't escaped that night.
But if there is no if, he can only repent alone every night as before, but he will never be redeemed.
With a trembling voice, Lorenzo spoke of the past that had been buried in his heart. Lidney sat stiffly on the chair, his Adam's apple slid up and down, but he couldn't say anything.
"I'll send you away at dawn tomorrow. You go to the Church of Eriny to find Paladin. They should go back by then. Paladin will protect you. As for your friends... the black crow has activated signal blocking, and no text messages can be sent this night." , you can only contact them tomorrow." Lorenzo calmed down after a while.
"Lidney!! Lidney!! Can you hear me?" At this moment, the brooch pinned to Lidney's right chest suddenly made a sound. It was a new protective cover that Karl gave him. The one at a time is better, it can stop a small nuclear explosion, and it is bound to Karl's optical brain, so Karl can know what's going on in Lidney at any time.
"Carl..." Lidney tried to control his voice, "I'm fine, I'm in the poor street, staying with Lorenzo."
"Great, I can't contact anyone except you now, you wait there, I'll pick you up right away." This brooch relies on short-wave communication, and the black crow's signal shielding can only work on long-wave communication. Now there are almost no short-wave communication tools in the interstellar space, but Carl was bored in the escape cabin before, so he studied this with August, so he will make a short-wave communication device.
