Phil, who had been warned by Linshu, didn't say much during dinner, but patted Linshu on the shoulder after he was full: "I have something private to tell you."

"It's better about when you're going home." Linshu glanced at Yofasa, who was absorbed in wrestling with the octopus' feet, and pulled out his chair, got up and went out.

Phil avoided Yofasha mostly because he wanted to talk about the rebel army. A wall could not block Yofasha’s hearing, so he led Phil up to the top floor.

The roof of this apartment is well done, with green plants and a rest area. They sat on the wicker chairs placed by the owner of the apartment on the roof.

"Are you and Mr. Leviathan getting too close?"

Holding a can of Coke in his hand, Phil pulled the ring with a click, "I advise you to break off relations with him as soon as possible."

"Why do you say that?" Lin Shu asked.

Phil shook the coke can: "Do you know why I ran out?"

Linshu remained silent.

"The war sweeping across the entire empire is coming soon." Phil's tone was no longer so inconspicuous. "It's not a small fight on the border. This time, the Federation will send real support."

Lin Shu looked at the sky full of stars, he didn't feel too surprised, this was the result that could have been expected long ago.

"Mom is going to send me abroad to escape." Phil smiled emotionlessly.

"You are still young, Irina wants you to be safe." Lin Shu said.

War is quite cruel. Regardless of whether the cause is just or not, the harm caused by war is the same. Once the empire falls into chaos, no matter whether it is the urban citizens who loyally maintain the empire or the people at the bottom who want to change avoid risk.

Irina is a mother, and there is nothing wrong with a mother wanting her children to hide in a safe place.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Phil said, "The rebel army started a war in the name of justice, and then they were afraid that the war would hurt their children, so they wanted to send the children away..."

"Can……"

Linshu was about to say something, but Phil stopped him: "Yes, I'm not yet an adult, I'm still a child—aren't other people's children children? Why should others bear the harm we cause?"

He used the word "we," and he had a strong sense of identification with the rebels, and it was because of this sense of identification that he was reluctant to make an evasive act.

Lin Shu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you think the rebels' actions were wrong?"

Phil shook his head: "There is no absolutely correct path in the world. We may not be right, but we are definitely not wrong—you can't expect the emperor to suddenly wake up, jump out and kick over the meeting cabinet, and change this corrupt society from top to bottom." Empire?"

Linshu thought of Yofasha downstairs.

In fact, Yofasha has changed a bit four years ago. He even delayed his self-renunciation until Linshu and other rebels withdrew, lest Feiger retaliate against the rebels in his anger. That was sitting on the throne. The emperor would never behave like this.

If Yofasha at that time could become the real emperor in power, and someone around him could guide him correctly, the empire might become different.

After all, he is not willing to hurt others by nature.

"Anyway, I won't leave the empire. I'll go directly to the Red Forest." Phil took a sip of Coke, "I guess you'll be called to the battlefield after a while, and your vacation time is running out."

He finally squashed the empty tin can, and his green brows revealed a mature temperament: "So you'd better separate yourself from Mr. Leviathan as soon as possible."

"Is he a nobleman?"

Linshu did not deny that Yofasha was indeed a nobleman, and even the emperor was not considered a nobleman, so no one could be called a nobleman.

"You know what kind of people the nobles of the empire are." Phil spread his hands, "No matter how beautiful they are, or how easy they are to get along with...then you will have conflicts. Profit turns ugly."

"Just like mine...just like Little Jasmine."

Linshu wanted to defend Yofasha, but when he heard Phil mentioning the girl he had a crush on when he was young, he stopped talking and patted Phil on the head.

"It's different from person to person."

He took Phil's shoulders: "Go on, you are an adult, I will respect your decision, but you have to maintain your relationship with Irina, she only has you as a child."

Phil went downstairs with Linshu, passed the trash can at the corner, and threw the empty jar in his hand into the entrance with precision.

Phil considers him and Yofasa to be friends, and worries that their friendship will be rifted by their identities, just as Phil himself did with his childhood crush, Jasmine.

But the situation of Linshu and Yuefasha is more complicated than Phil imagined, and the problem between them is not just identity at all.

When they returned to the room, only the hot pot soup base and oil-stained tableware remained on the dining table.

"Look, the nobles of the empire can't even clear the bowls." Phil sighed exaggeratedly, and came to the table to clear the tableware.

Linshu went into the kitchen to heat up hot water: "He will drop the plate, don't keep saying bad things about people behind their backs, it's very rude."

Although the sound insulation effect of the apartment is good, according to Linshu's own feeling, with two doors open, he should not be able to hear what others say, but what if Yofasa's hearing is much better than his?

While tidying up the kitchen and cleaning, Lin Shu felt regretful, if he hadn't gone out with Phil, he would still have a chance to chat with Yofasha at night.

Judging from the signal Yofasa gave yesterday, he is willing to let himself know him.

Bake some cookies and knock on the door later, hope he doesn't go to bed so early.

As a result, his cookies could not be sent out, because the eggs and sugar were used up, so he made a special trip out. He couldn't bear Phil's visit to the night market, so he had to accompany him around.

It was very late when we got home, and it was almost midnight when Linshu finished making the cookies, and Yofasa was probably asleep, so he had to put the cookies into a newly bought cookie jar, planning to give Yofasa a snack when he went out tomorrow.

-

Linshu's sleep is not deep, and he can wake up quickly when there is any movement, such as now.

He heard the sound of metal rubbing outside. The sound was not loud enough to wake him up, but it seemed like he had all senses, and he broke free from the dream.

It's not his door, it's the opposite, and it looks like it's unlocking.

The rubbing sound stopped suddenly, Linshu reacted, got up from the bed suddenly, and rushed to the door.

Linshu opened the door and saw someone sneaking into Yofasa's room from the opposite side. He followed without hesitation. The man seemed not expecting someone else to appear behind him. He was startled and wanted to run to the bedroom in a panic.

His movements were not quick enough, he looked untrained, and seemed to be just an ordinary thief.

Lin Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and using the moonlight to lock his position, he directly threw the man down, pinning him firmly on the floor, the man struggled desperately but could not shake Lin Shu's hand.

With a click, the lights in the bedroom came on.

Linshu held the man's head and looked up. Yofasha was standing at the door looking at them, probably woken up.

It is worth mentioning that Yofasa did not wear clothes.

No one cares about him, he still likes to sleep naked.

Linshu pressed the man's head even more firmly: "I heard the voice and found that someone had broken the lock of your house, so I followed to check. He must be a thief."

After explaining briefly, he reminded Jehophasa to put on his clothes.

Yofasa's red eyes were slightly dimmed, and he felt displeased to be woken up to sleep. He went back to the bedroom and casually put on a coat and came out. Linshu was already asking about the intruder.

The intruder realized that he was not Linshu's opponent, and immediately began to cry and beg for mercy, saying that he was forced to be helpless, had nowhere to go, and would act as a thief on impulse.

I have heard this set of rhetoric a lot, and I am not soft-hearted. Seeing Yofasha coming out, I persuaded him to call the police: "Call the police..."

Before he finished speaking, a gunshot weakened by the silencer made him freeze in place.

Yofasa held a pistol and shot the intruder in the head.

His hands were very steady, and his shooting accuracy was very high. The bullet just passed through Linshu's arms and penetrated the man's head.

Blood gurgled out of the hole wrapped in slurry, and soon stained the floor red.

Linshu touched the man's carotid artery subconsciously, then stood up stiffly, his surprised eyes fell on Yofasa's unmoving face, not knowing what to say.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yofasha asked.

He retracted his pistol and stepped back slightly to avoid blood on his favorite plush slippers.

The look in Linshu's eyes made him a little uncomfortable.

"Whether it's burglary or robbery, he has the act of picking the lock. According to the laws of the empire, I have unlimited defense rights."

Yofasa explained that he didn't need to explain, but he somehow wanted to explain that his behavior was okay, "so I didn't break the law by killing him."

The blood spread to Linshu's feet, the dark red blood reflected the blurred outlines of the two of them, and he also took a step back.

He suddenly felt that Yofasha was a little strange, and this strange feeling was much more serious than when facing "Leviathan".

"So, why did you have to kill him?"

He felt that neither his throat nor his tongue belonged to him, and there was a certain obstacle in his speech expression. Fortunately, he managed to ask this sentence.

"It's easier to kill." Yofasa felt faintly anxious, "Do you know him? If you don't want him to die, you can tell him earlier."

It meant that he didn't care whether this person was dead or alive, but he just killed him out of trouble.Special thoughts...

This is not quite right.

Yofasha should not be like this, not to say whether this person deserves to die, but Yofasha should not be such a person who regards human life as nothing.

If it is not related to his own life and death, he usually will not take the initiative to hurt others.

"Do you think he deserves death?" Jehophasa asked.

However, Linshu didn't answer.

The vague sense of anxiety turned into a slight sullenness, Yofasa put down the gun and called the nearby police station.

He hated Linshu looking at him like this, as if he had done something unreasonable.

No, no, no.

Why?Why did he show that look?Isn't it natural for me to do anything?Besides, I didn't go too far.

Stop looking at me like that.

"Well, yes, that's the address, and I'll wait for you to come." Yofasa hung up the phone, he let out a breath, looked at Linshu again, his tone was not as flat as usual, "Go back to yourself, I You will solve it by yourself, and the police will tell you that you don’t know.”

"Don't bother me," he said.

It seems that if Linshu doesn't obey, he will solve it together with Linshu to avoid trouble.

Do your best tomorrow, if not, the day after tomorrow.
