[Comprehensive British and American] After the Raiders

Will was not present at the party at Neil and Daisy's house the next day, and Will left the town after hearing about the wedding.

Daisy regrets not being able to hear from Neil's friends about a past she wasn't a part of.

She was lying on the sofa with her head resting on Neil's lap, carelessly playing with Neil's slender fingers.

"I have never heard you mention that Mr. Graham. He is the only friend who came from other places. You must have a very good relationship."

Neil looked down at Daisy, who looked stunning with her silky blond hair and jewel blue eyes,

"Yes, we used to be friends."

"Was it?" Daisy let go of Neil's fingers, looked up at Neil, and met those exceptionally gentle pure black eyes.

However, Neil just smiled, but didn't answer, which made Daisy couldn't help but continued, "Tell me about your affairs."

Neil gently stroked Daisy's long golden hair, "That's a boring story."

Daisy smiled softly, with a warm and clean smile, "I like stories, and any of your stories are not boring to me."

Will dreamed of the man again.

The scene in the dream is where they first met.It's ridiculous to say that they didn't introduce themselves to each other when they met for the first time, let alone have a good talk.

Will was hired by the FBI at the time to teach crime analysis to new recruits.He was standing on a podium, facing a field of freshmen recruited by the FBI.

Almost immediately, his eyes were attracted by the man in the crowd.

That one or two seconds became extremely slow for him at that moment, and his brain may have had many thoughts at that time, and maybe there was nothing at all.Those one or two seconds seemed to be taken away from his life, and it belonged entirely to that man named Neil.

What happened after that Will can't remember clearly, but the moment when they looked at each other up and down the podium is still fresh in his memory to this day.

But what happened in the dream happened not long after.

Will didn't know if the man named Neil felt the same way he did when they first met, and he didn't know if they were really attracted to each other that moment when their eyes met.

But what happened afterwards made this doubt no longer important. As they communicated intentionally or unintentionally after class, their relationship became closer and closer as Will longed for and resisted.

Until after a class, there seemed to be some unspoken tacit understanding between each other. When the students all left the classroom one after another, they still stayed in their original positions. One of them stood on the podium, the other sat on the opposite desk, mutual looking at each other.

In the dream, Will stood there as before, watching Neil walking in front of him at an unhurried pace, until they were half an arm away, and they just looked at each other like this After two or three seconds, he saw a knowing smile on the other person's face, and then his upper body leaned forward slightly to kiss him.

The kiss was very short and not lingering, and then Neil straightened his back and backed away. He looked at Will leisurely and vaguely, as if he was confirming something or waiting for something.

But Will, who is in the dream now, is just like himself back then, a strange feeling like an electric shock is running through his body and mind.A stronger but slightly different urge made him respond in the same way as his original self.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and kissed Neil.

The dream suddenly shattered at this moment.

Will, who opened his eyes on the bed, felt that it was extremely cold tonight, and he couldn't help curling up.

This dream had a greater impact than seeing Neil again at the beginning, and it almost destroyed his life and mood that he had finally calmed down.

At this moment, Will felt as if he would never be able to get out of the shadow Neil left in his heart.

"It was not long after I entered college. Will was a professor of psychology. Although he didn't take a few classes," he smiled self-deprecatingly. "But Will and I hit it off right away."

When Neil said this to Daisy, even though none of his words were true lies, Neil's expression was still flawless and sincere.

After deciding to completely abandon everything in the past, Neil rarely recalled those things.

Although when he said these words to Daisy, the memories that brought him all negative and depressive emotions flooded one after another.

For example, in the classroom, he and Will's first kiss.

That was his last attack goal after being parasitized by the system to become a so-called raider.

There is no so-called mutual attraction, let alone love, everything is a designed trap, and even the so-called "love at first sight" is nothing but the halo of the raider at work.

At that time, he was just a puppet of the system, numb and mechanical to help the system achieve its goal.

"And then?" Daisy looked at Neil seriously and asked.

"After graduation, I lost contact with work." Neil ended the story lightly. The story he told was just as boring as what he said before.

Daisy looked at Neil with disbelief, "It's too perfunctory, Neil."

Neil didn't refute. That memory was a boring story in his opinion, because there was nothing about his feelings that was true.

He has always been a heterosexual, and under the pressure of the system to attack those men will never make him feel at ease in his heart.

Neil has never been just an ordinary person, and he has not changed after being unilaterally forced to parasitize by the system.He was also given sticks and sweet dates by the system when he was about to explode again and again. He will always remember the system saying to him repeatedly in that mechanical tone,

"You and I both know that this world is just a 'game', don't you want to go back to the real world?"

The system will always remind Neil when he wants to connect with people in this world other than missions, brainwashing him over and over again as if the truth——

"This world is all fake".

As time goes by, there is no one else in his life except his tasks, and he feels more and more like a puppet of the system, hypnotizing himself to stick to the system's illusory promises.

But what completely overwhelmed Neil was that after completing all the tasks of the system, the system played tricks on him and silently abandoned him in this "game" world that didn't belong to him at all, and was even extraordinarily false in his opinion.

At that time, Neil was extremely confused. He was desperate for the way out that he seemed to never find, and he felt extremely unwilling for his situation. It seemed that a hot flame was burning in his heart. Burning for fuel.

So violence became the channel for this flame to vent. It successfully allowed Neil to gradually clean up the negative garbage in his heart, but it also replaced them as a new fuel.

He became more and more numb, as if he would be filled with that scorching flame for a long period of time in the future, until one day Neil finally got tired of that repetitive and boring life.

But someone suddenly broke into his life and extinguished the burning flame that engulfed Neil.

"Daisy," said Neil with the tenderness and sincerity in his words, he changed the subject lightly, "I'm leaving tomorrow, have you packed everything?"

Daisy has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder. If it is an important matter, even if it has already been done, she will reconfirm it later.

Even though she knew Neil's intentions, Daisy still couldn't help being distracted by the honeymoon salute tomorrow after Neil mentioned it.But she has always been gentle and not a strong person. She was not dissatisfied because of this, and she didn't ask any more questions. She just felt a little helpless for Neil's evasive attitude.

"I love you, Neil." Daisy kissed Neil.

——I love you, so I will love all of you.

Neil smiled, "Me too, Daisy."

— so I'll give you my best side.
