Chapter 672 I Won't Bother You Again

“Squeak——”

The friction sound when the door is opened always makes people feel nauseous. Before people step out of the house, the little Teddy on the chain has already slipped out from the crack of the door. The next moment, the annoying barking of the dog quickly buried all the noise in the corridor.

“Don’t shout Marcel!”

A not-so-harsh voice came from behind the door. It was obvious that it was not sad or happy, but it made the little Teddy, who was still aggressive a moment ago, tremble all over and immediately quiet down.

It seemed that from this moment on, there were other sounds in the corridor.

To be precise, it was a girl’s gentle laughter:

The door closed and she left.

When he saw that she was injured because of her lack of experience despite her martial arts skills, he could not deny that he was indeed angry and sad.

Otto actually knew very well that with the girl’s character of keeping her word, it must be the former.

Smelling the faint musty smell emanating from the wooden door of the apartment, Su Chang's mouth twitched for a moment, then she raised her hand, clenched it into a fist, and knocked on the door lightly.

Otto stood alone in front of the chopping board for a long time.

The space in the house was a bit small, and the so-called living room was only a circle larger than Otto's former desk, but everything was neatly organized, and the few pots of flowers at the connection between the living room and the balcony also added a rich fragrance to this small space.

"Just a joke, what's that expression on your face? There are some things that you would never be able to do if I were here, right? For example, the coalition government you have been working on in recent years, if I were here, Anti-Entropy would never be able to put aside its prejudice and cooperate with Destiny, even if Taixu and World Snake were there to mediate. Only Theresa can serve as a [link] to integrate the interests of multiple parties. If anyone disagrees, then ask her students for their opinions first."

And he only needs to look straight ahead to see the white-haired girl in front of him holding the wall with one hand and lifting the heel of her shoe with the other hand.

Su Chang pouted and shook her head.

"This girl, uh..."

She took a deep breath, as if she had taken in enough courage:

He just stopped where he was.

It was because she didn't understand that she couldn't give a response.

Because she knew very well what Otto's "only wish" was.

The tea was freshly brewed, and the originally dried and dehydrated tea leaves quickly stretched out in the boiling water, spinning and flying in the cup, and finally when they returned to the water surface, the whole cup of hot water was stained with the color of tea leaves.

"I'm sorry, Luosha, I just ate buns before I came here... I can't eat anything now... So don't worry about me, just do your own part!"

"Well, I knew it a long time ago, I saw it from the oil at the corner of your mouth at the beginning."

Karen reached out to Otto's back in a daze, but with a "bang", Otto's door closed, leaving her alone in the corridor.

They will never see each other again in this life.

This should not be the first time that Marcel experienced the feeling of flying, but he still barked excitedly, but before he flew far, he was pulled by the irresistible force transmitted from the iron chain and fell heavily to the ground.

"Uh... That's my regret. If I had known you were coming, I would have asked you to bring a few for me."

This is not the first time that Su Chang has had this thought in her mind.

"I won't bother you again, Rakshasa."

The muscles in his eye sockets twitched slightly, and his green eyes turned to the side instinctively, but they were restrained by his strong psychological quality, and they only trembled twice.

"What about you? Are you walking the dog... Are you going out to walk Marcel?"

Otto answered without hesitation.

So, what kind of feelings did he have for Miss Su Chang?

But five hundred years was too short, and her and his faces did not change much, just like when they first met.

do——

"What are your plans for going out today?"

Su Chang subconsciously reached out to touch the glass, but the scorching temperature burned her fingertips through the wall of the glass, and she could only withdraw her hand in disappointment.

Karen hurried over and hugged Marcel in her arms. She just turned her head to ask Otto something, but she saw the chain and key that fell at her feet.

"What can I do? If I had been the Archbishop of Heaven's Destiny for a few more days, I'm afraid everyone would have sent me to court for trial. I'm sorry, Otto Apokalis's life was too long, and for most of his life, he was not a good person. Now he can retreat bravely and get a peaceful ending in his old age, which is not bad. Although there is also the role of restraining power in this, if there is no such power... Anti-entropy would have sued me a long time ago."

Su Chang lowered her head weakly and stood up from the sofa again.

Then, he moved his stiff body and walked to the sofa and sat down.

The girl also lowered her head, without moving or speaking.

Otto knew that in the past eight years, Su Chang would linger downstairs whenever she had the chance, but she never disturbed him.

After a while, Su Chang laughed a few times in a slightly awkward tone, and then, as if she had found a topic awkwardly, she said in a half-complaining tone:

"Rakshasa, you were too hasty to resign after the Great Collapse. In the first one or two years, Theresa had enough trouble dealing with your group of old men in Tianming. In addition, a large number of dead people returned, and even many people from the previous civilization were counted. We were very busy, not to mention the "Su" incident that happened later. You are so lucky that you live a simple life here alone..."

After a while, footsteps and the sound of the door lock turning sounded one after another, and at the same time, there was the slightly hoarse voice of that person:

Just like the temperature and fragrance left on the sofa.

"Ah...ah?"

"Although Theresa is a little too kind and sometimes seems a little naive, she is my granddaughter after all, not to mention that Kiana, Bronya, and Mei are all her students. Those old guys can only take advantage of her. The general trend cannot be stopped. What's more...isn't there our Miss Sushang?"

"Bang——"

"Yes. This beast is too active by nature. If it doesn't walk more and use up its energy, I don't know what trouble it will cause."

She apologized hurriedly. When she thought that she had made Eleanor wait for so long, she ran at the fastest speed in a hurry.

But with just one sound, she was kicked by Otto and quieted down again.

Yes, five hundred years is indeed too short, so short that the feelings that can be expressed clearly in just a few words have not been spoken until now.

What he doesn't understand is his own heart.

For a long time, the only sound in the room was the crisp sound of "do, do, do" when the kitchen knife touched the chopping board.

It was hard for Sushang not to regret her previous eating behavior.

"Hahaha! What a weird idea you have..."

"Marcel... He was a cute kid back then, but he's been dead for more than 500 years. I heard about your later stories... Otto, do you still hate him?"

Otto stared at the girl one step away silently, his mouth wide open, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

But he didn't want to cause trouble for Luosha, and he didn't want to be unable to eat the food when he really got to the table, and let him mistakenly think that he didn't like it...So Su Shang could only explain honestly:

"So, I'm really happy that before this ending comes, at least we fulfilled the promise of "saving the world" together."

"Who knows? Maybe it's because I really want to raise Marcel?"

"Then... if you don't like it, why do you still raise it?"

As Otto spoke, he laughed out loud.

But the good news is that he doesn't have to wait another 500 years.

"I'm kidding. For you Shenzhou people, this is more accustomed to drinking."

She just said in a tone that was as calm as death:

"When Kallen dies, my last soul steel body will stop functioning. At that time, the core of the Ruler of Constraint will be received by Theresa. Whether it is to seal this power, inherit it, or find a successor, it has nothing to do with me. Miss Sushang, I have fulfilled our agreement. Now, I just want to live an ordinary life from the beginning, and then die like an ordinary person. In the process, accompany her throughout her life, even if she can never accept me."

She took Marcel back to her room, closed the door, and hurried to the supermarket downstairs to buy a few bags of dog food and a food bowl. In just a short time, when she returned home, she saw Marcel running around the house with a chain in his mouth, knocking things on the coffee table all over the floor.

"She..."

"..."

But this was indeed the first time she walked into this room.

"By the way, Luosha, in two days, Kiana will be back from the moon. Will you come with me to greet her? Youlan Dell will also go."

"Miss Sushang..."

"I'm sorry, Luosha, I like you."

When Sushang thought of the twenty meat buns in her stomach, she turned her head away with a guilty conscience.

"Sit in the living room for a while. I'll pour you some water... Or do you want some wine? I don't have those red wines worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars now, but after getting used to them, it seems good to try wines that cost a few hundred dollars a bottle, or even a hundred or thirteen bottles with free shipping."

"Pfft! How did you think of giving it this name?"

After her eyelids trembled a few times, Kallen took a deep breath, untied the collar on Marcel's neck with the key, and then held it in one hand and took out her mobile phone with the other hand, and sent a voice message to Eleanor in a slightly unfamiliar manner:

Su Shang was silent for a while, and soon turned the topic elsewhere:

"Rakshasa, I liked you before, and I like you now, and I will probably like you for a long time in the future."

Otto responded lightly.

Thinking of this, the mood inevitably became depressed.

"It's Miss Suchang, you are a rare guest... It's not easy to find me here, come in and sit down."

"Then... Aren't you also a Herrscher? You can also be Theresa's backer."

Suchang had already walked to the entrance behind the door and looked at him in the kitchen through the shoe cabinet.

Then, a smile quickly appeared on his face.

There was tea brewed for Suchang on the coffee table. The tea leaves had sunk to the bottom of the cup, but the tea still retained a hint of warmth.

"Forget it. I was the one who caused Kiana's tragedy. I can't appear in front of her again."

Su Chang looked at the girl's back as she walked away, and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged in her heart.

Su Chang smiled awkwardly, turned her head stiffly to look at the name under the opposite doorplate, and then mechanically stepped into Otto's door.

"Uh, sorry! That's not what I meant."

The sound of cutting vegetables stopped abruptly, and the sharp kitchen knife cut his index finger. Otto watched the blood-red liquid flow into the chopping board and mixed with tomatoes, making it difficult to distinguish.

Caroline took a lot of effort to calm Marcel down, and it took even longer to let him accept the new food bowl and dog food. When she finally couldn't bear it anymore and tied Marcel back to the dog chain and left home to keep the appointment, it was almost lunch time.

Su Chang quietly looked at the figure in front of her wearing an apron and busying around in the kitchen skillfully, and didn't know what to say for a while.

So what?

Marcel didn't know what was wrong with him, or he was keenly aware of the stiff atmosphere between the two, and suddenly started barking again.

So much so that... she didn't even notice that she actually knew the girl eating the buns.

She rushed downstairs to the apartment building in a hurry, but almost bumped into the girl who was eating buns and waiting for something at the entrance of the corridor.

She didn't want to deny her life in the past five hundred years. It's just that in the fifteenth year of her life, she met the wrong person at the wrong time and developed a feeling that could not be reciprocated. This feeling was like a heavy yoke on her for the next five hundred years, making her unable to become the chic female knight who roamed the world and hated evil as much as she dreamed of when she was a child.

"Uh... uh... that, thank you Luosha, but I think... I'd better not drink?"

Otto said self-deprecatingly while cutting tomatoes with a kitchen knife.

"I won't bother you again in the future, Luosha."

"Woof——"

Otto supported his forehead with his hand, as if trying to find a topic.

"Then... Luosha, did you quarrel with Miss Karen earlier today?"

These three simple words made Sushang silent.

If she hadn't met him in the endless yellow sand, she would have died at the age of fifteen.

"Who stipulated that the owner of a pet must like his pet? Besides, people can never predict the future. I think I liked it very much when I bought it, but I don't like it now."

Only this sentence and the girl's last free and easy smile will remain in his mind forever and will never be forgotten.

"Miss Su Shang, wait a moment, I'm preparing lunch for myself. Do you want to eat together? I can make your portion as well."

Is it time to end it all?

"Of course, I pulled out in time, in addition to protecting myself, isn't there also a factor of trusting you?"

"But... don't the Rakshasa people come out to walk their dogs every day? Why haven't they come out today?"

"..."

Five hundred years is too long, so long that she can no longer recognize this ever-changing world, so long that she is at a loss when looking at the emotions that have accumulated in her heart for years...

Su Shang pursed her lips, showed a chic smile, and then firmly opened the door.

In the end, Su Chang had no idea what she was saying. It was not until the words came out that she realized what she had said that she shouldn't have said.

Otto shook his head and laughed, but the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Su Chang swallowed the last bun, folded the oil paper bag and threw it into the trash can beside her, then ran up the stairs of the apartment.

Otto turned his head and smiled gently:

"So?"

"Something happened, I might be late."

Otto squatted down, gently rubbed Marcel's head, and pinched his furry ears, but this action seemed to stimulate this special breed of puppy, it immediately jumped up, straddled Otto's arm and arched.

That was not blood, but the red pigment was added to the supporting nutrient solution out of bad taste when the soul steel body was developed. Even the pain can be blocked, but he didn't do it.

So in fact... Otto has always understood the girl's mind.

It was not until the third sentence of the conversation between the two that the tall blond man came out of the house with a dog leash in one hand and a key in the other.

"No... I... uh, I made an appointment with Eleanor to go shopping and watch a movie together today."

"Karen Kaslana..."

"I won't bother you again, Luosha."

But Otto didn't pursue it, nor was he angry.

"I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood this morning and said so many things I shouldn't have said. Marcel was very noisy, and probably made your house... uh... Miss Sushang..."

In the end, he always liked to manipulate people's hearts, but he could never see through his own heart.

"Well, a new movie was released recently, directed by the Herrscher of Knowledge, I'm looking forward to it."

When he and the girl were running wildly on a carriage made of only two inferior horses and a few wooden boards, looking at the vast desert, he also laughed loudly with the girl, and there was no false happiness in it.

"Since you like it, I'll give it to you. Change its name, I don't want to hear the name Marcel anymore."

"Then why do you still keep it?"

Otto lifted the dog chain in his hand, and the collar tightened around Marcel's neck and pulled back, causing it to let out a few cries.

The girl pulled up her heels and tapped her heels on the ground twice, then turned around briskly and covered her mouth with a smile.

"It doesn't really matter what its name is, but the way it barks makes me hard not to think of Marcel."

Suddenly, the girl's words echoed in his mind over and over again, along with that last smile.

Probably goosebumps have spread uncontrollably throughout the body. Although it is a true expression of emotion, if you look at this sentence alone, it is somewhat numb.

"I...I understand."

Even if the smile faded away over time, just like Kallen in the past, only the rough outline and the slightly raised corners of her mouth remained.

"Wait a minute! It's coming!"

"Otto!"

"Do you think I'm angry at this dog because of Marcel? No, no, Karen, I want to tell you, I don't hate it because it's called Marcel, but the dog itself is very annoying. That’s why I named him Marcel, do you understand?”

Otto smacked his lips impatiently, then flicked his arm and threw Marcel flying.

Although she had always known that Rakshasa lived here, she had made a detour to Vienna on her way back from a business trip to Tianming Headquarters more than once, and came to this seemingly ordinary apartment building to spend half a day alone.

But Kallen still lowered her head and remained silent.

"Don't hate."

After turning her eyes around like this, she sat down on the edge of the sofa. Otto also held a cup of hot tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.

She couldn't convince herself to defend Rakshasa against her will, because she knew that all the crimes he had committed were real crimes, but...

"When I came here, I happened to see Miss Karen running out of the apartment building, and then I heard you say those things... I didn't mean to inquire about your privacy."

"Movie?"

So, does this so-called "won't disturb him again" mean that he won't come near this place again, or will he never see him again?

"Otto... Marcel is dead. He is just a dog. Even if you vent your anger on him, it will not make any sense..."

"The 'Dahua Steamed Bun Shop' invested by the Lawyer of Knowledge and me has already opened seven branches in Vienna. You can open Vienna's food list and take a look. If Dahua Steamed Bun Shop is not in the first three books, the girl will show you how to eat it raw on the spot. Xuanyuan Sword."

"Otto..."

Karen glanced at it with some compassion, and finally couldn't help but persuaded:

"Rakshasa..."

"I'm sorry!"

Su Shang stood in the middle of the living room and looked around at the environment in the room.

"I know."

"Tsk!"

"..."

Excuse me or something...

"Karen, I can see you when I open the door every morning... this feeling... is... good."

"Eh——"

"Rakshasa, how long has it been since you went out..."

A familiar voice came immediately from behind the door.

Su Shang knew she had made a mistake, but after a brief silence, she finally couldn't bear to talk about the topic that she knew she couldn't bring up.

"..."

Effortlessly - without even thinking or silently reciting the house number, Su Chang stood at the door of the apartment where the former Archbishop of Destiny now lived, as if driven by the body's instinct.

Su Shang quickly wiped her lips, and sure enough, what remained on her fingertips was not lipstick that didn't exist at all, but oil that ordinary girls would never hang on their lips.

"Ah...ah hahaha...yes, yes, this girl...uh, hehehe..."

But Otto seemed completely unaware of this and was still asking about trivial details:

"Speaking of which, where did you buy your steamed buns? This is Vienna, so they couldn't have been brought from the cafeteria of Tianming Headquarters, right?"

Even if there was a dispute between them, what would it have to do with her?

"Then...that...the lifespan of a Herrscher is infinite, but Miss Kallen is just an ordinary person now..."

There is both helplessness and subtle sadness in the smile.

"But Rakshasa, I..."

"No matter what happened in the past, it doesn't matter to me because my only wish has been achieved."

"Me? I don't need it."

"I won't bother you again, Rakshasa."

The words still echo in my mind.

First of all, I am Aoshang Dang.
