And Rafael stood where he was, shocked beyond words by the words he just heard.

Mason Passmore.

No one can forget this name.

Whether as the general public... or as a fan of Alan "The Siren" Bracewell.

There is so much that the name stands for.

If it weren't for him, there would be no "sea monster" in this world.

And if it wasn't for his death, Allen would not have retired, let alone be reduced to where he is today.

Fifteen years ago, Mason Passmore, the president of the Lunar District, was the most visible political rising star in the entire Earth Alliance.Unlike those officials who came out of the old chaebols and political families, Mason Passmore was just an ordinary teacher in his early years.

But his incomparable personal charm and political ideas made him walk out of the impoverished immigrant area step by step, and finally miraculously became the chairman of the moon area.And according to his voice and prestige at that time, he has a great possibility to become the first true civilian-born president in the history of the Earth Alliance.

But such a near-perfect Speaker Mason has a huge stain that no one can ignore—that stain is the eye-catching scandal between him and "Sirken" Allen Bracewell.

Although from the beginning to the end, they insisted that each other is just the purest teacher-student relationship.

Before entering politics, Mason Passmore happened to be the grammar teacher at Allen's school.

According to the official statement, Mason Passmore discovered Alan's singing talent in an accident. He sheltered Alan, a troubled child who was almost sent to a mental hospital, and then guided him on the road of singing...

But almost no one believed Allen and Mason's claims.

After all, there is a lot of evidence to prove that Allen has been receiving asylum from Speaker Mason after becoming famous and after becoming famous (Speaker Mason paid an unimaginably huge price for this).And in the same way, the "sea monster" also gave up his astonishing wealth and fame, even his own freedom...and never accepted anyone's love.

He stubbornly hid under the wing of Speaker Mason, leaving no room for himself.

The relationship between them is so close, so close that everyone agrees that only an indecent relationship can explain it.Considering Mason Passmore's married status, public opinion has been buzzing for many, many years since the relationship was revealed.

Under the influence of a series of rumors, some fans who have already been completely crazy about the "Kraken" firmly believe that their idol must be forced by the power of the Moon Speaker to commit to him.

Countless, countless insignificant events added up bit by bit.

Those rumors and rumors that are becoming more and more vivid in order to attract attention, those intractable malice, those irrational worship...

These tiny snowflakes eventually gathered into a huge avalanche that shook history.

——an aggressive fanatic who assassinated Mason Passmore on his final speaking tour before becoming president.

Mason Passmore died as a result.

Looking back on those events over the past ten years, many memories have become hazy.But Rafael can still remember the huge impact of this incident at that time.

Everything has become chaotic and fragmented, abuse and even bloody conflicts are like a tsunami, impacting everything, and everyone is swept up in it.

Alan Bracewell had a total mental breakdown, and it was said that he seemed to have lost his mind and ended up in a sanitarium.

The "Kraken" eventually disappeared forever.

……

Countless turbulent past events flooded into Rafael's mind, but in reality, it was only a moment.Rafael quickly understood many questions that he had been puzzling about before.

How, for example, a man of ordinary birth and vulgar qualifications like Raymond Morecambe should become a colonel.

Another example is why such an ordinary colonel can tamper with the Federation's matching system so easily and make Allen his partner by illegal means.

And... why would someone have the heart to inflict violence on Alan, and why would Alan endure all of this silently...

What's even more frightening is that no one really knows what Raymond did to Allen in that short marriage in order to get revenge.Now they are still forcing Allen to get close to such a bastard——

Recalling the scene he saw on the surveillance, Rafael shuddered.

"Sakhir!"

He let out a low cry, and followed his companion closely.

……

"Zi-"

Accompanied by a harsh metal friction sound, Sakhir forcibly opened the metal door of Raymond's ward.

Allen turned his head and looked straight at the door.

"what are you doing!"

Sakhir rushed through the gate and roared.

Allen blinked.

"……what?"

Allen asked calmly.He was sitting in front of Raymond's hospital bed, his breath was peaceful and calm.Raymond was still the same as before, lying quietly on the bed without making any sound.

Suddenly, it seemed that there was peace and warmth between the couple.But it was this kind of peace that made Sakhir and Rafael who rushed here feel a chill behind their backs.

Sakhir's face turned pale.

He rushed to Raymond and began to check on the status of this important person.After a series of inspections, Sakhir's expression became a little stiff.

Raymond is still alive.And alive and well.Even after Allen arrived, several of his values ​​improved significantly.After confirming this point again and again... the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Hold, sorry, Alan, we just..."

Raphael looked at his companion who was standing up straight and silent, and then at Alan who was expressionless, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

He subconsciously wanted to explain, but he had to keep quiet after speaking halfway.

He didn't know what to say.

To tell Allen that he and Sakhir have been hiding aside and peeping like perverts?Or did they already know Raymond's true identity and the entanglement with him, so that just seeing Alan put his hand on Raymond felt that Alan was going to kill him?

After a brief pause, Rafael suddenly heard Allen chuckle.

"You don't think I'll do anything to your great Colonel Raymond Morecambe, do you?"

Rafael almost thought that he accidentally said the words hidden in his heart.

He looked up at Allen in astonishment, and he was facing the calm... no, it should be said indifferent stare.

"No—of course not—"

Rafael subconsciously denied it.

Allen sighed softly.

He stood up, and then gathered the skirt of his shirt.

"Maybe I should get out of here for a while? That way you can get a better, more detailed look at Raymond Morecambe's condition and see if I've really done anything to him."

"Mr Alan Morecambe, I'm sorry, but it was just a misunderstanding."

Sakhir spoke bluntly, and made an extremely blunt apology.

Allen turned his head, and a fleeting sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was at this moment that Raphael suddenly realized... the calmness, obedience and gentleness he saw in Allen all this time were nothing but illusions.

Allen's calmness is just another expression of indifference.

"I should leave."

Allen said.

Then turned around and planned to leave.

But at this moment, something cold, slender and damp tightly bound his wrist.

"Ai... Allen..."

Immediately afterwards, Allen heard a vague and hoarse call.

His body froze, and then he turned his head abruptly.The man who was motionless and comatose on the bed like a dead person before, unexpectedly woke up when no one was aware of it.

He even raised his arm, and grabbed Allen tightly with fingers that were much slender than normal.

……

He was aroused by that strong emotion.

Before that, he had been in a deep sleep. Although...he was more eager than ever to wake up, but he still needed time.

It is not easy to condense one's huge body into the appearance of those creatures in memory.The Naga people were originally a kind of creatures that grow up with the passage of time. The bigger they are, the stronger they are. They have no size limit, let alone power limit... The only thing that can stop them is time The darkness and madness on the other side.

And He... He has been stuck in that chaotic time for too long.

He has no way of knowing what he really looks like now.But he knew what he should become.

Beautiful, fragile, tiny body.

A body that can be accepted by Allen... that can be loved...

He still needs practice, and practice can use his current mimicry freely.

In addition, he still needs to continue to digest the human mind and start thinking in a human way.

His studies were somewhat disturbed.

Because even in a deep sleep, He could still clearly detect Alan's arrival.Just like the distant past... Allen's existence itself can make him feel excited and happy.

Every tentacle in his mind bloomed because of Alan's arrival, his spirit lingered around him, and then perceived him.

When Allen recalled the human named Raymond, his tentacles uncontrollably began to dig out Allen's malice and disgust towards that human...

The killing intent from Allen made him more excited and happier than ever, but when this killing intent fell on his mimicry, his spiritual tentacles curled up in great pain and sorrow.This is the pain the human heart brought Him.

Sometimes he feels that he has become Raymond...a brand new Raymond who is passionately in love with Alan...

But Allen hated Raymond.

This hatred was returned to Himself.

Chaos begins.

no no……

He whined silently at Allen.

Allen's fingers left.

He began to cry and twitch, and every tentacle of his mind was wrapped around Alan's body... He tried to control his mind, but those tentacles began to fail.A special and sweet smell made his tentacle instinct become more rebellious and eager to move.He had to use all of his strength to keep the Mimic from collapsing.

What came next... were the other two humans who made him feel extremely disgusted.

They are approaching his Alan.

He is disgusted.

He wants to kill.

He... wants to wake up.

then……

"Raymond" woke up.
