Lucifer knew that he needed to have a good talk with Sandalphin.

He really didn't expect to see Sandalphin appear in this trap.Sandalphin was agitated, and visibly shaken.This is true in itself, but this vacillation may make Sandalphin's situation more difficult, and Lucifer wants to avoid this.So conversations that were put on hold in the past can no longer be delayed.

But to be honest, he himself is somewhat inexperienced in this area.This is his flaw.Although Lucifer has always claimed that he is perfect, Lucifer doesn't think so.If it was perfect, things wouldn't be what they are today. He should have come up with an effective way to relieve the pressure on Sandalphin earlier and faster.But he didn't know anything, but gradually found that things were out of control, and he couldn't help wondering if he could really understand human thoughts?Despite this setting, he seems to have no idea what Sandalphin is thinking.

No, it cannot be said to be "completely incomprehensible".To be precise, he didn't know how to deal with it in order to restore San Defen's stability.Comforting the lost, laughing with the laughing, is fine for most people, but not here at San Delfin.If it was an ordinary human being, Lucifer could still trace back to the source of negative emotions and solve them from the source.People's actions are inextricably linked to their experiences, and a murderer may raise a knife because there has been hatred in the past.But Sandalphin left no such trail.This is the augmented person artificially created by him, who is carefully protected in his courtyard and loved by him.Although there have been some accidents in these lives, these accidents should not have accumulated enough to shake Sandalphin.That is to say...

Lucifer frowned subconsciously.

The only possible source of stress at Sandalphin was himself.

But since when?Where did it start?I have not asked Sandalphin to do anything, and I do not wish to impose any restrictions on Sandalphin.The past he could think of with Sandalphin was full of peace and happiness, and he didn't feel that Sandalphin's smile on him was fake.But if everything is true, how could it be like this?

Before he could sort out his mood, the atrium had already appeared in front of his eyes.Sandalphin stood with his head down, behind the iron gate, like a wronged child anxiously waiting to be reprimanded.Lucifer called out to him: "San Defen...!"

Hearing Lucifer's voice, Sandalphin shook like a frightened rabbit, and then turned around.His chaotic and helpless expression made Lucifer forget all the complicated thoughts just now.Lucifer didn't want Sandalph to show such an expression, so before asking about the incident just now, Lucifer quickly walked to the door and stretched out his hand to pull the door: "Sorry, I'm late, Sandalph, I Think we should talk."

"You...you really saw everything, right?"

He is afraid.Lucifer realized this in astonishment.Sandalphin suppressed his own voice, and said as calmly as possible: "I'm sorry, I know...I know I shouldn't...but...no, I'm sorry..."

"Calm down, Sandalphin. It's not your fault." Lucifer comforted, then he opened the door and held out his hand to Sandalphin: "Don't worry, no one will blame you. Leave it to me Just fine."

Now is actually not the right time to talk.The murderer has not been caught yet, and the traps set up have not been recovered completely.Fortunately, Michael and the others are reliable assistants. Although they have withdrawn temporarily, they should have already started to interrogate and stimulate the suspect.Under such pressure, the murderer will soon be found out.With their help, Lucifer has advanced the priority of talking with Sandalphin.If there is no other emergency, he must solve this matter first.Otherwise he expected to be disturbed too.So he encouraged Sandalphin who looked timid: "Come here, Sandalphin."

"Lord Lucifer, I..."

He slowly stretched out his hand, but he didn't know whether to hold Lucifer's hand.Lucifer waited patiently.Sandalphin said in a low voice: "I know I shouldn't listen to them, but Lord Lucifer, can I ask you about this commotion? Even a little bit is fine, I really have something... I want to confirm .”

Lucifer hesitated for a moment.Sandalphin shouldn't know this, that's what he thought at first.But excessive concealment is not conducive to communication, and he also understands.Sandalphin also seemed to understand his concerns, and immediately added: "I won't ask about confidential matters! I just want to ask two things..."

He took a deep breath, and then looked expectantly.Lucifer's heart softened.As long as it doesn't touch the core, it shouldn't matter if Sandalphin knows: "Ask."

Sandalphin pulled out a smile: "You will not be in danger—"

"boom"

"--Is it right?"

Sandalphin didn't even finish his sentence.

Lucifer heard the sound of bullets flying over while Sandalph was speaking.But he really didn't have the speed to completely dodge the bullet at a short distance, not to mention that when he dodged, the one who was hit was Sandalphin.And this kind of ordinary shooting is not even a minor injury to him.The force of the impact sent him sideways, and Sandalphin staggered before he could hold his hand.

A slight pain spread throughout the body.But self-healing starts almost simultaneously.Lucifer shook for a while, then held on to the iron door, and returned to normal.He said shortly to Sandalphin: "I'm sorry, wait for me a moment." Then he temporarily withdrew from the courtyard, leaning on the outer wall, inserting his fingers into the wound, groping for the location of the bullet, and at the same time looking for the person who shot it.At the end of the road, he saw the Enhanced Man who belonged to Belial.He had the impression that this person did not turn in his personal belongings and fled without permission, so he was already one of the suspects.Maybe it was because they lost their way of retreat after being chased by Michael and the others, and their spirits were on the verge of collapse.The moment he met Lucifer's eyes, the enhanced man roared angrily: "Die...Die! Die! Human lackey——!"

Lucifer dug out the blood-stained bullet.It missed any vital organs, and the gunshot wound probably won't take a few hours to fully heal.But the other party raised the gun again, and it was obvious that he was going to shoot indiscriminately in a collapsed situation.In the roar full of despair, Lucifer rushed towards him like a flash of white lightning, only the bright red blood drew intermittent dotted lines on the ground.The roar lasted less than five seconds before it quieted down.

Lucifer knocked him out.This sequence of events took less than a minute.And Lucifer didn't even specifically notify anyone, just let the enhanced person lie unconscious on the side of the road, then wiped the blood off his body and glanced at the caliber of the bullet.Even if you leave it alone, there will be chasing troops to recover it within a few minutes.But when he turned around, he found Sandalphine standing there with a pale face, but the fear just now had disappeared.

He wasn't looking at the strengthened man who fell on the ground, but was staring at the blood hole on Lucifer's body with what could be called a trance.The inside of Lucifer's uniform is a black lining today, so the traces left by blood are very inconspicuous.But Sandalphin still stared.Lucifer explained: "I'm fine, the wound will heal soon, let's continue with the topic just now. I've already entrusted the captains to deal with the matter here..." "No problem, Master Lucifer .”

Sandalphin gave him a weird smile: "I have nothing to ask."

"...?" Lucifer was a little worried, he didn't think that within such a short period of time, Sandalphin, who was still in a state of anxiety just now, would be able to solve his problem, so he walked to Sandalphin's side, He didn't touch Sandalphin: "You don't have to hide anything from me, I won't be angry with you, and I won't punish you, Sandalphin."

"No. I just got the answer just now. Then the other question became meaningless." Sandalphin was not so much talking to him, but more like talking to himself.The timing of his smile was too weird, but it didn't look like gloating, and there was no danger.After distinguishing for a while, Lucifer realized that his smile seemed to be mocking himself.But what is there to laugh at at Sandalphin?However, before he could ask, Sandalphin gently grabbed his arm: "Master Lucifer, go in and change your clothes first?"

It's really weird to stand outside.Lucifer followed Sandalph back to the house.Just as he said, when he took off his shirt, the wound on his chest had even stopped bleeding and scabbed.All Sandalphon could do was wipe off the blood and apply gauze.Lucifer recalled the time he had his eyeball removed, and comforted Sandalphin speculatively: "It's okay, even if you don't do anything, it won't leave any traces. Enhanced people have this kind of self-healing ability."

"Won't there be any traces...?" Sandalphin reached out and stroked Lucifer's smooth skin.Lucifer's body was strong and beautiful like a marble statue without a single blemish.Sandalphin looked at it for a while, then slowly lowered his head, and rested his forehead on his uninjured chest.

"Sundaph...?"

"Please let me... please let me just lean on this for a while, please..."

Lucifer's eyes became soft, he wiped his hands clean, and hugged Sandalphin: "You can rely on it for as long as you want." Sandalphin rarely asks him, and he is willing to make such a coquettish behavior It made Lucifer very happy.He leaned on the sofa with Sandalphin in his arms, Sandalphin exhaled a long breath, and buried his face deeper.Lucifer hoped that this would relieve some of Sandalphin's pressure, so he chose to remain silent for a while, wanting to wait for Sandalphin to regain his energy before talking.

But unexpectedly, Sandalph closed his eyes and asked softly: "Master Lucifer, why did you decide to help mankind?"

Sandalphin asked this question before, but Lucifer guessed that his state of mind must have changed a lot.Therefore, the answer he gave was not exactly the original answer: "I have to say, indeed, the existing relationship between strengthening humans and humans is indeed based on an extremely unbalanced premise. So I don't think those protesting People are at fault, and you, who are incited, are not at fault."

He paused and said: "But the meaning of my creation is to become such a prop. This is my duty, and I did find out very quickly that there are many wonderful things in this world. They are indeed worth protecting. Although only It is difficult for you to express it with words..."

"Is it just because of this? Just because of this, do you accept your own situation?"

"Maybe there are other reasons. In a sense, am I envious of human beings? Because I am envious, I want to maintain it. Although I can't understand... I seem to be missing something, what human beings have, and what I have There is no key thing."

"I don't think so..." Sandalphin murmured.Lucifer laughed: "Thank you, it's just that I have this feeling. Then, after this incident, I also understood something. My interference and suggestions to human beings in the past may have been too much. The difference between human beings and enhanced human beings It shouldn't have been like this - I should have avoided it. An unbalanced balance can't be put to work."

"Then you..."

"I'm going to do everything in my power to change that and make sure everyone gets what they're supposed to do. No one feels sad about being taken advantage of."

Lucifer spoke with a look of anticipation, revealing an intoxicating beauty.Sandalphin smiled: "I understand. You don't have to worry about me, I have already figured out what I should do."

"... Sandalphin?" Lucifer didn't know if this was considered a qualified conversation, but Sandalphin really looked relaxed, even curled up in his arms, showing a peaceful smile as if he was asleep .Lucifer, who had been tense for days, could not help but relax slowly, and gently stroked Sandalph's hair.There was a faint whine of sirens outside. Someone was caught and someone resisted.Now that the pressure from Sandalphin seems to be relieved, then it's time for Lucifer to go back—but only at this moment Lucifer is acting out of selfishness, he wants to prolong this peaceful time as much as possible, and he will bear it. I couldn't help closing my eyes.

And a few hours later, the other end of the distant sky.Beryl sat in the dark room, staring at the only glowing screen in the room.

It is connected to Canaan's monitoring.And beside him were seventeen or eight mobile phones, each of which had different communication records.While he was staring at the screen intently, there was a sound of the door opening: "Hey, cunning, when are you leaving...Wow! What are you doing? Why is it so dark in here?"

Asachel patted on the lights in the room, and Olivier was behind him, who was also a little startled by this appearance: "You stayed here all day?"

"Now is the time for careful manipulation." Beryl chuckled: "Although I really want to go out and have fun, I'm sorry it's not now."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Asachel was very straightforward. He looked a little different from before. His uniform had changed into a black sleeveless vest with a bit of a punk feel. Belial came in front: "Let me ask you, you said you were going to launch a revolution to strengthen people, but why haven't we moved since we came out? When did we break in and rub the Ethics Association on the ground?"

"Don't worry—" Beryl smiled: "It's coming soon? As soon as the virus is ready, we can start."

"Virus?" Asachel followed Beryl's hand to look at the screen, and then said, "Isn't this Sandalphin? I know this guy, he's a good guy."

"Then you will meet again soon."

"Did he also join the Enhanced Human Revolution? You really have it. I remember that he is not directly under the research leader? You can pry it? But this is a good thing. The more reliable partners, the better." Asachel He seemed quite happy: "Although I only knew him for a day!"

"Can it be pried? Sandy doesn't need to use the force of 'prying'." Beryl accurately picked up a mobile phone from the table, glanced at it, turned it off and threw it directly into the trash can beside it.Beryl stretched his waist, most of the shirt he was wearing was torn apart with his movements, and he didn't bother to rearrange it: "Anyway, Sandy's eyesight is so short that he can only see one person, As long as there is even a little trouble with that person, it will be a world disaster for Sandy."

Asachel could no longer understand and was not interested, so Olivier walked up to the screen: "So he is the one who is going to board the boat tonight? I haven't seen this enhanced man before. Is there anything special about him?" ?”

"Special? The legs look good for tricks, isn't it special?"

Hearing Belial's words, Olivier didn't seem to want to continue the conversation with him at all, so she turned her head and left.Belial also stood up from the sofa: "Anyway, you guys just wait. If you can't wait, you can go by yourself first? It looks like I have to pick up Sandy and Sally."

Sandalphin, wearing a hoodie on the screen, left the edge of Canaan quickly and steadily along the shadows alone.He held Lucifer's identity card in his hand, so there was no barrier to stop him along the way.A fragile-looking boat that could be swallowed by the waves at any time greeted him and the scarred Sariel.Along the way, the surveillance in the cabin only captured Sandalphine standing there motionless like a sculpture.Even his expression was hidden under the hood.On the contrary, Sariel leaned against the bow of the boat with his obviously bruised body, obviously looking forward to the arrival at an unknown time.

Beryl lit a cigarette in the morning wind, and then watched the small boat slowly sail into the port.He helped Sariel when he got off the boat, but when he wanted to help San Defen, San Defen opened his hand: "Don't talk nonsense. Tell me what you know."

His eyes, cast in the shadow of his hood, looked irritable and brooding.Beryl rubbed his chin playfully: "You look very energetic, Sandy, it's rare that I came to pick you up. Is this how you treat your partners?"

Sandalphin stepped ashore by himself.On his feet were even the pair of high heels that Lucifer gave him, making a slight clicking sound of the heels hitting the ground.Belial pulled a little distance away, fumbled in his pocket, took out a mobile phone and threw it to Sandalphin.Sandalphin raised his hand and intercepted it.Beryl said: "All the information you want is in there. Then listen to me next—oh? You really turned around and left?"

"Is there any point in talking to you?" Sandalphin maintained great vigilance or hostility.Beryl slowed down his tone: "Then let me ask something irrelevant, why did you suddenly figure it out, Sandy?"

"Got it? I just confirmed it. How gentle and noble the lord was. He was perfect. But nothing but him deserved it."

The current expression is definitely not something that Lucifer can see.But Sandalphin couldn't control it, and the negative feelings in his heart were tumbling like a boiling poison bottle: "This world doesn't deserve to have that adult."

"Awesome expression, it makes people hard to see." Beryl licked his lips and laughed intermittently: "We are going to Canaan to destroy the Ethics Association, since you have come out, as a reward for the information Just join..." "Not interested."

This time Sandalphin turned and left without looking back.The shoulders that don't look broad are slowly blending into the shadow of this seaside city.Sariel glanced at Belial, dragged his pace and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Belial: "Don't worry about him, Sally. Your mission has been completed, and you did a good job."

"But, vice-captain, you have expended so much energy..." Sariel seemed very hesitant.Beryl laughed: "It doesn't matter how much Sandy wants to make a fuss, he can be anywhere. These efforts were spent on Lucifer, and he left such a regret - all he needs to do now is do it."

"...Mmm." Sariel nodded half-understood.

And after Lucifer experienced the most comfortable and warm sleep in several weeks, he woke up a little later than usual.

He just fell asleep on the sofa.Most of the blankets on his body were put on him by Sandalphine.This time he slept peacefully and comfortably, and he hadn't felt such a wonderful feeling for a long time.Is it because the injury is recovering?sleep so deeply.And Sandalphin seemed to have gotten up first, and was not in his arms.

"Sandall——" Lucifer tried to shout: "What time is it?"

No echo.

"The Sandalphin—?"

Lucifer lifted the blanket and moved his body.He looked around the living room, and it was strange that Sandalphin was neither in the kitchen nor in the room.He opened the door again and went out. The courtyard in the morning was quiet and empty with the fresh smell of grass and trees.

"..." Lucifer was silent for a moment, then turned back immediately.This time he opened all the doors in the house, and searched room by room, even laboratories, storage rooms, and any corners that could hide a person—no.No.No.He immediately took out his mobile phone, ready to contact other people to find San Defen, but when he turned on the screen of the mobile phone, he froze for a moment, and then stopped.

There is an unsent email on the phone.It says this sentence:

"I'm leaving."
