Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 527. The Shackles of a Good Man

"You look in a bad mood."

"Ah."

"Is it because Elsa left?"

"Ah."

"You are so pitiful. You just finished showing your affection in front of my eyes, and then..."

"Let me be quiet."

"Actually speaking, if you want to have a drink now, I'd be happy to accompany you. After all, we had some promises before."

"No, I don't want to."

"Tch, you are really boring."

In the speeding black SUV, Liana, who was sitting in the co-pilot, chatted with the expressionless Merlin who was driving.

Basically, it was Liana who was asking, and Merlin only gave a short answer. Judging from Merlin's expression, it doesn't seem like a good time to chat now. He is in a very indifferent and uncomfortable state.

And Liana, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was wearing a less exaggerated black skirt, a peaked cap on her head, and high heels. Her long golden hair hung over her shoulders. She looked like a very beautiful girl on the streets of New York. Ordinary beautiful girl.

However, under her active appearance, she also has a touch of tension in her heart.

The destination of the two of them was Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth. Merlin was going to pick up the two girls and go home for the weekend, and by the way, he helped Liana complete one thing she had to do.

Family reunion.

After Bellacos' threat was completely removed, it was time for Liana to return the memory of her brother Piot Latympus being taken away.

"Do you think he will be angry?"

After a few minutes of silence, Liana couldn't help asking again:

"I beat him half to death and wiped his memory. Anyone who faces this situation will be angry, right?"

"I do not know."

While turning the reverse dial, Merlin replied casually:

"You can ask him yourself."

"You really can't comfort people."

Liana glanced at Merlin, she complained:

"Shouldn't you tell me now that everything will get better naturally, so as to comfort my nervous mood?"

"I'm not in the mood right now."

Merlin says:

"Maybe you can comfort me first."

"Okay."

Liana snorted, she unbuckled her seat belt, and threw herself on Merlin. The next moment, Merlin, who was caught off guard, was kissed by her again.

The Queen of the Frontier straddled Merlin's lap, and pressed him against the driver's seat forcefully, her lips and teeth intersected, the faint fragrance rushed into Merlin's nostrils, and he could feel Liana's tongue moving on his lips.

"Shh."

Merlin's figure turned into black mist and dissipated in the driver's seat. The next moment, he appeared in the back seat. He looked at Liana and said:

"Is this how you comfort people?"

"I've heard that the best way for a broken-up relationship is to reopen a relationship."

Liana didn't care. After Merlin got out of the driver's seat, she sat there, grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, and turned it curiously. The smooth-moving car soon began to snake on the road. walk.

"Icarus, autopilot."

Merlin pushed the glasses, and the next moment, the artificial intelligence took over the car, and it quickly became stable again.

"Hey, don't be so stern."

Liana looked at Merlin in the rearview mirror, she reached out and pressed her peaked cap, and said:

"Are you feeling better now?"

"No..."

Merlin turned his head to look out the window. After a while, he shook his head and said softly:

"Well, it's a little bit better. But I want to make sure again, Liana, between you and me..."

"Don't worry about it, just fulfill your promise."

The border queen waved her hand carelessly, and she said:

"You are not my type. You are too old, too old-fashioned, and too boring. I really don't know what Elsa likes about you."

"I am also puzzled by this question."

Merlin says:

"I also hope that someone can give me an answer."

"Speaking of which, Liana, I don't know if you have that feeling, as if your life has been clearly arranged, you can only be pushed forward according to the rhythm of the story, even the people around you Those feelings, you can't be sure if they are real...or arranged."

Rubbing the stubble on his chin, he said:

"It's like being in a relationship with a mentally induced woman... Even though they love you, it still feels bad."

"Oh, fatalism."

Liana leaned on the driver's seat, she closed her eyes and meditated, and said:

"Many people in hell believe in this. They feel that there is fate intervening behind every life, especially Belacus, you know, the kind of evil god believers, they like to engage in this kind of thing the most. Use fate to Explain every good and bad thing that happens in your life, so that all seemingly weird changes can be explained, live for fate, die for fate."

"But if you ask me for my opinion on this, then I'll tell you, I think it's bullshit!"

The Border Queen snorted, and she said in a rambling tone:

"If everything was arranged, how boring it would be. Take a step back and say, if there is really someone manipulating my life, then I will desperately find him, and then give him two A slap."

Liana's voice became lower, and she said:

"But if everything is as you said, the pace of life has been clearly arranged, so what? Do you stop and live? This is our life, whether it is not Being manipulated, life must go on, look at me, I have been blinded by Bellacus for more than ten years, am I still living happily?"

Liana's words were confusing and not very convincing, but Merlin did not refute her. The two sat quietly in the self-driving car. After a few minutes, the car turned again. Xavier Gifted Youth Academy The shadow of is already in sight.

"I'm so tired, Liana."

Merlin sighed suddenly, raised his head, and said in a low voice:

"It was okay before, but in recent years, one thing after another, one responsibility after another, they are entangled in me, like invisible shackles, aliens, mutants, aliens and others hidden in the dark Hydra, those restless bastards, I can't ignore any of them, especially after making it my mission to advance order."

"I don't feel free, like a person living in the Internet. The constant help and rescue make me exhausted, and it's hard for me to really do things with my temper."

He raised his head, looked at the roof of the car, and said:

"I want to go to South Galaxy, I want to leave with Elsa, I want to take Ruiwen and Lorna far away from this world, I want to escape... just once."

"I can fix a city full of monsters in 48 hours, but my own life is still a mess."

"What is this doing?"

After Merlin finished speaking, Liana asked in a strange tone:

"Are you pouring out your heart to me? Or are you listening to your confession as if I were a priest?"

"No, I'm just talking casually."

When the SUV stopped at the gate of Xavier Gifted Youth Academy, Merlin reached out and opened the door. He said to Liana who opened the door and stood beside him:

"You can forget about them, or take them back to Limbo and bury them anywhere."

"You are so pitiful."

Liana said softly:

"Even looking for someone to talk to has to be sneaky, but what I want to tell you is, Merlin, there is no shame in being cowardly and evasive occasionally. No matter how strong a person is, there will be moments of weakness."

"Ah."

Merlin nodded. He reached out and patted Liana on the shoulder. He said:

"Come on, your brother is waiting for you."

-----------------------

It was afternoon, and the students of Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth were still in class, and only some young children were chasing and playing on the lawn in front of the castle.

And in the garden on the edge of the lawn, the steel warrior wearing a black vest was watering the flowers with a peaceful expression.

This hulking, intimidating hunk is a real good-natured guy, loved by all the kids at the academy, and he's always patient, explaining simple math problems to kids over and over again, You can also spend an afternoon telling stories to the children.

His character, and Liana's slightly reckless temper, are almost the same as the two sides of the same coin.

"Piot."

A familiar voice sounded behind Colossus. He put down the kettle, turned around, and saw Mr. Merlin standing on the lawn with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at him.

Beside Mr. Merlin was a young girl who looked to be 1.7 meters tall.

She was wearing a peaked cap with a raised brim covering half of her face, and her long golden hair hung over her shoulders. This slender girl was wearing a black dress and high heels, looking very beautiful.

Along the way, the eyes of the little boys basking on the lawn were all attracted to her.

"Who is this?"

When Colossus saw Liana, a strange feeling surged up in his heart, and he couldn't help but put his hands together.

He can be sure that he has never seen this girl before, but the kindness and sadness surging in his heart, the urge to hold her in his arms... What is going on?

"Liana."

Merlin turned to look at the Queen of the Frontier. The latter bit her lip, stretched out her hand to open the space, and took out a crystal bottle shining with a white halo. Under the gaze of Colossus, Liana pulled out the cork, and a ray The beating arc of light flew out of the bottle mouth quickly, circled around the unknown Colossus twice, and Merlin stretched out his left hand with the silver bracelet, driven by the magic power of the microemulsion, the stripped memory quickly Almost back to the body of Colossus.

"boom"

Some memories suddenly appeared in this big man's mind. The weak tearing pain, and the chaotic thinking under the impact of Hezi made him sit on the ground with his head in his arms.

He rubbed his forehead vigorously, trying to relieve the swelling feeling in his mind.

"Liana?"

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Liana, with a hint of doubt, trembling, joy and dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Go."

Merlin pushed the frontier queen who was stunned in place behind her back, and said:

"There is nothing unclear between relatives. Go and have a good chat with your brother and share your past experiences with each other."

"From today, Liana, you are no longer alone."

The border queen took a deep breath, and she walked towards her brother. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned around and showed a big smile to Merlin. She said:

"No, you're wrong."

"The moment I met you, I was never alone again."

"Thank you, Merlin."

When brothers and sisters met, they naturally wanted to talk about some family topics. Merlin didn't want to disturb Liana and Colossus' reminiscence. He left the garden and waited in the castle for a while. Lorna, and Raven next to her with her handbag.

Amidst the noisy voices of the children, the two girls came to Merlin's side. Lorna embraced Merlin's hand warmly as before, while Ruiwen stood in front of Merlin, and she looked at Merlin suspiciously. , says:

"Where's Elsa? Why didn't she come to pick us up?"

"Elsa she..."

Merlin looked into Ruiwen's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly in a complex tone:

"she left."

"You let her go again?"

There was strong dissatisfaction in Rui Wen's tone, she said:

"I don't understand what's going on between you two, but Merlin, I saw with my own eyes the two of you confiding in each other's hearts! Is there someone else behind the scenes? What's the matter with you? Why do you even leave the person you love? Can't stay?"

"It's complicated, Raven."

Merlin tried to reassure Raven, explaining:

"There is nothing wrong with the relationship between me and Elsa, it's just... just some other factors."

"Together you beat Dracula!"

Raven gritted her teeth and said:

"Not even a legend can stop you! In this city, what other factors, what other reasons, can prevent you from living together?"

"Human life!"

Merlin said to his sister:

"Many lives..."

"The result of me keeping Elsa by my side is that the whole of New York will be destroyed by disaster. Raven, I know you are disappointed in me, but we can't do things according to our temper."

Ruiwen looked at Merlin angrily, she knew that Merlin would not joke with her on such a matter.

After a few seconds, Ruiwen turned away from looking at Merlin, and said in a low tone:

"You are so pitiful, Merlin..."

"You are becoming stronger every day, but you still can't even protect your love. You put too many shackles on yourself."

The girl said stubbornly:

"I will never become someone like you in the future."
