The girl came like an angel.

The man on the small bench stood up. He stretched out his hand, trying to reach into the beam of light, as if he wanted to touch the girl. The veins on his strong arms were exposed and the broad palms were trembling.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Do you want to see the girl in your memory, or the current Eva?" Eva took the initiative to reach out and place her hand on the man's broad palm.

There was no temperature or touch, what he saw was data and what he touched was nothingness, but the man still carefully closed his palms, as if he was really holding the little hand of the girl in front of him.

"I don't know... after so many years, I still haven't been able to escape from that night. My partners, my strength, and you, everything about me is left in that dark night. If I can, I want to stay in that night forever. !" The man's voice was hoarse.

"But I hope you can live a good life." Eva raised her hand and caressed the man's strong yet fragile face.

He seemed to be crying, but not in tears.

"I like to hold your hand and look at you. If I don't do this, I can't be sure whether you are by my side or have left long ago..." the man whispered.

"You know, when a person starts to regret, he is completely bid farewell to the beauty of this world. Unbearable memories kidnap every night. Whenever I want to fall asleep, I am exhausted. Suffering and memories are unreasonable. It has invaded my mind and seems to want to crush me. Living is like atonement. I can’t move forward and am faltering..."

"How can you not be in so much pain?" Eva asked distressedly.

"Let's have a cigar." The man smiled bitterly, "Nicotine should be able to temporarily numb my nerves. You will give me one, right?"

"If possible, I hope you will smoke and drink less." Eva sighed softly.

There was a strange movement inside the wall.

The man's eyes were fixed on the wall for a moment, the joints in his hands were creaking, and the muscles in his arms were twisting like snakes. There was a terrifying power that could kill a cow with one punch.

A pink robotic arm protruded from the wall and handed out a box of expensive and historic BELINDA cigars.

"It's a pity that it's the Cuban cigar you love, but it's not the kind that comes from the thighs of your favorite Cuban bodybuilder." Eva stuck out her tongue and said playfully, as if to lighten the dull atmosphere. A little more active.

"Ten thousand Cuban girls and ten thousand Cuban cigars can't compare to one hair of yours!" The man took one out of the box, but found to his embarrassment that he had no fire.

"Ignition service is charged separately, sir." The mechanical arm creaked and shook.

"Damn it!" The man muttered and found two crumpled knives from his shirt. "This will make my already poor life even worse!"

"Sir, it costs at least three dollars to light the fire." The robotic arm swayed from side to side, "If you are in a happy mood, you can add a tip."

"Do you think I'm in a happy mood?" The man angrily stuffed two dollars into the hand of the robotic arm. "How much fuel does it cost you just to light a fire? You only have two dollars, do you want it?"

"Sir, at least three dollars to light a fire..."

Eva winked, the robotic arm stopped talking, reluctantly turned on the high-temperature spray gun, and lit the cigar in the man's hand.

The man sucked hard.

The choking smell quickly invaded the nasal cavity, and his brain stopped thinking at this moment and went blank. He exhaled the smoke heavily, his eyes wandering.

Zhila!

The moment the smoke spread to the wall, the smoke alarm was triggered, and the high-pressure water cannon fired at the cigar and the man's face, causing the man to freeze on the spot.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that the computer room is non-smoking." Looking at the man's debauched look, Eva covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Eva, you have become less cute!" The man lifted up his sleeves and wiped his face, vaguely revealing his strong abdominal muscles.

"Hehe, but this computer room does not allow any fire." Eva sat in mid-air, dangling her pale feet, "I have made an exception and let you take a sip!"

The man looked sadly at the expensive cigar that he had only taken a puff on. The tobacco was soaked in water and was no longer smokeable. He wiped the cigar and put it in his pocket.

"Can you do me a favor? That new student Lu Mingfei, no matter what the result of his '3E' exam is tomorrow, I hope you can write 'Black King blood descendant, S-level potential' on his report. A word." The man said.

"If he is indeed not a descendant of the Black King, doing so may not be a good thing for him or the academy."

"But it's not necessarily a bad thing, right?" The man smiled, showing his white teeth.

"You should know what the 'S' grade stands for. The school board will never get away with it so easily."

"Then you will announce it in the name of the principal, and no one will dare to raise objections." The man's attitude was firm.

"Oh, but what if his bloodline is really unreasonable? It will be a disaster for Cassel College." Eva was a little worried.

"Even so, it is...a disaster that the college deserves." The man's eyes were blazing, "You will help me, you never refuse me."

"I will help you, but Norma may not." Eva lowered her head and said softly, "And I am no longer me. What you see now is just what you want to see..."

"Let's not discuss such a sad topic." The man took a deep breath, "Actually, I have something more important to ask you."

"Um?"

"Did the execution department find any trace of the Dragon King?" the man asked.

"Is this the real reason why you came to me in the middle of the night?" Eva looked at the man, "Whether it's making a false report for Lu Mingfei or leaking the execution department's plan, this is very embarrassing for me."

"It's just a embarrassment, but you will still listen to me." The man said firmly.

Eva looked at the man deeply, finally sighed and chose to compromise.

"The target of the Executive Department is the King of Bronze and Fire, Norton, the noble first generation species, one of the four kings. The search is still ongoing at this stage, and the principal is preparing to bring Professor Mance and the strongest young combination of the Executive Department - Ye Katsu and Shutoku Aki were also sent to the battlefield. You know, the principal never leaves any room for war when facing dragons."

"We will win this time because we have an extra trump card in our hands." The man smiled.

"Lu Mingfei?"

"Lu Mingfei!"

"Believe me, Lu Mingfei is the most unique one. He is different from all the children we have met." After the man said this, he was about to leave.

"You still owe me a dollar!" When the man was about to leave, the robotic arm protested.

The man turned back and stretched out his hand, smiling like a devil.

The robotic arm took a defensive posture, and one person and one machine began to compete in strength, but unfortunately, within a second, the robotic arm lost.

The man held the two wrinkled U.S. dollars he had snatched back and said proudly, "Now I owe you three dollars, so remember it carefully. No matter how much debt you have, I won't pay it back, hahahaha!"

The man took out a damp cigar from his pocket and rolled it vigorously. Eva kept watching as his tall and lonely figure gradually moved away. The tall man had a stooped back, like a cowardly bear.

The metal door opened and closed, and the man disappeared into the darkness without looking back.

The man left, and the only sound left in the huge central control room was the creaking and swinging sound of the mechanical arm.

The girl was still staring at the metal door, blue light spots condensed in her eyes.

"Falling in love with someone is very tiring, especially falling in love with a man like him who smells of tobacco and alcohol." The robotic arm said to the girl in a mature voice.

"He lives like a collection of regrets and repentance!"

"He is who he is and has never changed." Eva suppressed her tears.

"Even I can see that there used to be a fire in his heart, but now it has burned down, leaving only smoke." The robotic arm said this, and finally folded and retracted back to the wall.

The control room returned to deathly silence, and the girl's tears silently hit the metal floor...

Just like the drizzle falling on the lake, it creates transparent blue ripples.
