Formed a bond with a Sentinel.At dinner alone, he finally calmed down and analyzed his current state of mind, which was no different from that of an ostrich; on the other hand, Caesar did not mention this matter at all.In the previous missions, the two of them didn't have much tacit understanding, but now they are pretending to be dead, but they are cooperating first and second.

Chu Zihang took a deep breath and said, "For the long-term plan, I need to see the information tomorrow before I can confirm it; in the near future, I need to change the room."

Caesar shrugged, "I have no idea about the long-term plan; in the short term, my point of view is that you'd better stay out of my sight when you're on the Gattuso's territory."

"What do you mean?" Chu Zihang frowned.

"I suggest you stay in this room tonight. Anyway, my bed is big enough for two people." Caesar said confidently.

"You don't have any position——" Chu Zihang became irritable, and realized that deliberately avoiding it would only make the entanglement worse; instead of doing this, it's better to open up and speak clearly. "Is it yesterday's accident that made you think you can ask me like this?"

The guide frowned.Caesar had never seen Chu Zihang write his objection so directly on his face, "No." He knew exactly what the guide was struggling with, "It's completely irrelevant. Besides, you said it yourself, it was an accident." Kaiser Sutton paused, then picked up the wine glass beside him, "I just don't trust and hate all the arrangements of the family."

Chu Zihang looked at the other party speechlessly, and he finally understood, "But this is not the reason for you to use me to protest against the family."

"...After my mother died, I never trusted anyone with the surname Gattuso," Caesar said.

From the information of the college, he already knew the background of the heir of the Gattuso family very well, but this was still the first time Chu Zihang heard Caesar mention his mother.He was startled, "Sorry."

Caesar's icy blue eyes watched him.

Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment, then continued: "But after the task is over, I have nothing to do with you. The entanglements between you and the family have nothing to do with me; no matter what your reasons are, I have no interest in getting involved with you." In the plans of the disgusting family."

Caesar smiled and shook his head slowly, "No, the fact is that you have always been there. Since the first dollar you lent me."

It was Chu Zihang's turn to be silent.

"But you are right, after you get what you want tomorrow, you and I will have nothing to do with each other. We have no objection to this." Caesar changed the subject, "How is the injury on your back? "

"It's better." Chu Zihang replied.The dry bandages stuck to the skin of his back, and Caesar changed them for him.The pain is less than before.

Caesar nodded, "I asked Passy to sort out the situation of the contact point of the Chicago Sentinel Guide, and reply to me tomorrow."

"Don't bother." Chu Zihang shook his head.

Caesar sighed, raised his glass and drank the crimson wine. "I'm going to bed first. Good night." After finishing speaking, the sentry put down his wine glass, lifted the dark curtains of the four-poster bed, and lay down under the soft velvet quilt.

The silence lasted for a long time, so long that I almost gave up.Finally, Caesar heard the rustling of the curtains as he fell asleep, and a slight dent came from the other side of the bed.A certain expectation lingering in his heart finally fell, wrapping him and slowly falling asleep.

***

"The young master is still very wary of us." In the middle of the night, Frost, the acting head of the family, was still working, and his secretary, Passy, ​​stood behind him.

"Since his mother passed away, he has been dissatisfied with the family." Frost's tone was normal, he opened the last document in his hand and began to browse, "And that guide. What do you think?"

This question was vague and tricky, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious when it was asked by the acting Patriarch.Passy changed his mind, and chose the least important one: "I observed him very carefully...his level is definitely not just D."

"Well, it's not just D." Frost signed his name at the end of the document, "You're pretty good at avoiding important things."

Passy sighed inwardly, knowing that this kind of question that no one else wanted to mention was finally up to him to ask, "Does the family have any opinion on the young master's union?"

"No opinion." Frost's answer was somewhat beyond Percy's expectations.

"Caesar still hasn't let go of his mother's death. He still needs time to come back and assume his due responsibilities. Pompey is his biological father, and he also said that we should not interfere too much. His behavior at this stage, put There are more factors of anger. But sooner or later he will understand that the family loves him." Frost closed the document. "The family does not think that Caesar will rashly combine with such a guide, and does not regard this guide as a threat for the time being. Generally speaking, the family is not that passive."

Passy nodded and reminded: "I still suggest paying attention to that guide."

"You can figure it out. By the way, have you found the information that Caesar asked for?" Frost asked.

"It has been found. It just arrived at Gattuso's house a week ago."

"The original must be kept at Gattuso's house. Prepare a copy and send it to me. Although it is not an important thing, it can also be used to talk to him."

"I understand."

***

Chu Zihang was stuck in a long dream.

He walked in utter darkness, with no light around him, no vision, no sound in his ears except for his own footsteps.But strangely, he could feel something pulling him forward.Although invisible, it does exist.

Time seemed to have stopped, there was no difference between the previous second and the next second, he just kept moving forward, and that invisible force firmly pulled him forward.

After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the distance, accompanied by a slight, indistinct sound.

But Chu Zihang recognized it.

It is the voice of the sea.

For some reason, he became anxious and quickened his pace.Light and sound gradually brightened as he advanced.He heard the sound of the waves, and the wind was blowing on his face, bringing cool moisture.

The sea finally appeared before his eyes.A crescent moon shone on the sea surface, throwing tiny, sporadic waves of light.

It was a strange feeling that he knew he knew the sea.

Without hesitation, he crossed the tidal flat and stepped into the icy sea water.White waves wrapped around his ankles, then his calves.Without the slightest hesitation, he moved forward step by step until his whole body was submerged in the pitch-black sea.

The moment he entered the water, the whole world suddenly became quiet.He knew it was just a dream.But I don't know why I am so eager.Dream?Is it his dream?Or, someone else's dream?

A golden light slowly glowed in the water.Suddenly, the sound of a grand mass came from the ear.

He found himself standing at the entrance of a Gothic church, which was empty and empty.At the other end of the church is an altar. Violet curtains hang down from the dome, and the candlelight glows brightly, reflecting the surrounding white roses.Below the altar are patches of silver candles, like a silver bush.In the center of the thorn bush is an exquisite hexagonal coffin.

So...it's a funeral...

The mourning requiem echoed in the huge space, and Chu Zihang suddenly realized that he was not the only person in the church.On the hexagonal coffin in the center of the altar lay a boy, only thirteen or fourteen years old, in an all-black suit and with hair as dazzling as gold.

The boy was very quiet, just staring at the coffin quietly.He stood in the middle of the thorny candlelight, and the golden light and shadow swayed on his body.

Chu Zihang felt a deep sadness flowing from the boy's body and into his heart.How strange...he couldn't see the boy's face.

After what seemed like a long time, the boy left the coffin and walked into the depths of the church.Something lay there, hidden by a black tarp.The requiem music slowly advanced to the second section, "Day of Wrath", the thunderous and majestic singing echoed in the church.The boy walked very slowly, following the high-pitched and thick singing voice, stepping on great anger with every step.The black tarpaulin was jerked off.It was a Harley motorcycle, only two-thirds the size of a normal motorcycle, with a black matte paint body and modified silver quadpipes reflecting golden candlelight.

The boy got on the motorcycle and lifted the square tin bucket at his feet.The sound of the engine roared, mixed with a majestic requiem, and the sadness and anger pouring out of the boy.The motorcycle drove slowly towards the altar, and the liquid in the barrel was spilled on the coffin.

There was a pungent kerosene smell in the air.

Chu Zihang suddenly realized what the boy was going to do.

He watched the boy take out a silver lighter, a small cluster of golden flames suddenly lit up at the boy's fingertips, and fell on the hexagonal coffin.At the same moment, the Requiem progressed to the most majestic segment, and the flames suddenly rose with the deep bass.

A huge purple curtain fell from the dome, surging like a dark wave, briefly suppressing the flames, and then being swallowed by more brilliant flames.

The boy was riding on his motorcycle, like a king riding a war horse; he slowly raised his head in the firelight, opening and closing his mouth——

"Mother."

Chu Zihang heard the boy's whisper and saw his eyes for the first time.

The blue of the sea.

The scene in front of him suddenly burst into spider web-like cracks, covering the entire space from the center to the surroundings.The moment the dream was shattered, he was overturned by a huge force.

A pair of strong hands grabbed his throat.He was forced to open his eyes; an identical pair of blue eyes stood before the dark curtain.
