Chapter 236 The drug was too strong
Ning Yan used all his strength when he stabbed his neck with the dagger, and Lan Ze also used all his strength when he tried to stop him.
It was a completely subconscious reaction.
By the time he reacted, Ning Yan had already put the dagger on his neck.
Speaking of cruel, it seems that both of them are cruel.
Speaking of being soft-hearted, it seems that everyone is soft-hearted.
But a disciple is always a disciple, and a teacher is always a teacher.
Lan Ze finally understood that the reason he was able to stab Ning Yan with that knife was not because he was so powerful, but because Ning Yan gave him the opportunity to hurt him.
There wasn't even any need for elaborate plans, no need for 'K' to distract him.
Maybe when Ning Yan was at Ilok Manor, he would put a gun under the bed for self-defense every night when he slept with Yu Chengbai, but he might not bring a gun with him when he came to sleep with him in his room during a thunderstorm...
He topped the killer list at the age of seventeen and spent more than a decade on the line between life and death.
If Ning Yan was really killed here today, he would no longer be the same Ning Yan. He would no longer be the one who could run rampant in Continent M for many years and remain safe and sound.
Lan Ze completely ignored the dagger under his neck, and his whole body seemed to be drained of strength all of a sudden.
He supported himself with his hands and sat on the cold, hard ground, his whole body limp.
Tears were still flowing freely, but his eyes were dull and his face was blank, like a person sailing on the sea who had suddenly lost his way in the fog, unable to find his way back or see the way back...
He sat quietly, waiting for Ning Yan to kill him.
Or, wait for Yu Chengbai or Gu Jiujing to kill him.
But no one moved.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, the air seemed frozen, and all eyes were focused on Lan Ze.
But no one spoke, and it seemed that nothing they said was right.
Denounce? Insult? Question?
Or something else, nothing seems right.
Finally, Ning Yan sighed deeply, half-knelt down, looked at him, and said, "Do you feel better?"
Lan Ze's eyes were dull, and he stared blankly at the place on the ground where the sun reflected a little light, without saying a word.
"I know you're very unwilling to accept this, resentful of the injustice of fate, and hate the world for fooling you."
"When your father was still alive, the nobility of the Golden Triangle had not yet declined. Your Grant family was the most prestigious family. You were a pampered young master, the apple of your parents' eyes. But then, you were left with nothing."
"You're displaced everywhere, bullied everywhere, and everyone can step on you and do whatever they want to you."
"After much difficulty, you entered 735 and met the two people who once protected you and treated you well. You became their apprentice."
"It turns out that your favorite teacher is actually the person you feared and hated the most when you were a child."
"...He's the one who indirectly caused the destruction of your family."
"Aze, I don't want to excuse myself or my mother, but I must tell you that the original intention of building this Rose Island was never to protect you, nor was it a father's unconditional love for his son."
"Your father is the most powerful noble in the Golden Triangle. I think you should understand that the dungeon is oppressed by the Golden Triangle. You have been to the dungeon with me many times and have seen those ugly faces with your own eyes."
"Your father never trained bodyguards, but rather a large number of death warriors to consolidate his power in the Golden Triangle and suppress the rise of various forces in the underground city."
"I understand I'm not a good person myself, so I have no right to demand that you look at things from the perspective of those in the dungeon who have been bought and enslaved by the Golden Triangle nobles since birth."
"I just hope you understand that in the struggle for power, more lives are lost than those of ants."
"And we are helpless."
Lan Ze still didn't say anything, staring blankly at the ground, tears streaming down his cheeks.
His breathing steadied and his body stopped shaking.
Perhaps he himself knows all this.
He knew his father wasn't a good man, that the fire that burned Rose Island had also burned hundreds of lives in the dungeon, and that his hatred couldn't even find a focus...
In the two years since he left Ning Yan and Moros, he has killed many people, but he has not found the pleasure of revenge.
And at this moment, someone told him Ning Yan's true identity, and told him that Ning Yan was actually 'K'.
So, he found a new target for revenge.
He thought he had found someone to take revenge on.
But actually... I just can't bring myself to do it.
There were obviously more and better opportunities, but he just couldn't do it.
He didn't want Ning Yan to die, but he couldn't bring himself to do it...
"alright."
Ning Yan patted his shoulder gently, sighed, and said, "I just gave you a chance and taught you not to be soft-hearted. You are not motivated enough and can't do it."
Lan Ze gently clenched his hands that were supporting the ground.
"I've taught you countless times to stab someone where they're most vulnerable. But you went for the stomach instead of the heart, avoiding all the internal organs. It's useless."
“…”
"Remember to poke more accurately next time, okay?"
“…”
Ning Yan sighed again, raised his hand and touched his head, and said softly: "Moros and I raised you. How could we not know what you are like?"
Lan Ze lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Okay, wipe your tears and go home." Ning Yan reached out to grab his arm, trying to pull him up, who was almost as soft as a puddle of mud.
Lan Ze refused to move, her tears fell more and more violently, and her breathing, which had originally returned to normal, became disordered again.
He knelt on the ground, his whole body shaking, and the hand that was grabbed by his arm was clenched into a fist.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
Ning Yan: “…”
It's really killing me.
"Brother Ning..."
Finally, Lan Ze, who was crying out of breath, finally spoke.
He hugged him tightly and called his name, "Brother Ning, Brother Ning..."
Ning Yan patted his back: "Well, what's wrong?"
Lan Ze's eyes were red and his whole body was shaking. He cried and said, "I'm in trouble..."
"I know you've killed many people and done a lot of bad things recently. You even blew up the weapons depot in the Northern Continent. I'll find a way to deal with it. Don't be afraid."
"besides……"
"What else?" Ning Yan asked in confusion.
"I don't want to kill you. I never wanted to kill you from the beginning. I..." Lan Ze was still crying, his words incoherent, his sobs breaking: "I want to kill Yu Chengbai."
“…”
“…”
“…”
Everyone looked at Yu Chengbai unconsciously.
Yu Chengbai's brows never relaxed, and his eyes were always fixed on the wound on Ning Yan's abdomen. The bleeding had stopped, but he still couldn't look away.
Lan Ze is like a child who did something bad behind his parents' backs.
The braver you are when doing bad things, the more afraid you are when confessing now.
He was shaking like a sieve, hugged Ning Yan tightly, buried his head in his arms, and cried as he said, "I disguised myself as you and stole a lot of medicine from Dr. Kaiser..."
Ning Yan knew about this. Kaiser said that 'K' had stolen all his hypnotic and amnesia-causing drugs.
Ning Yan frowned: "Where are those medicines? Did you use them? Who did you use them on?"
Lan Ze didn't dare to look at his expression: "Ruan Tang..."
“…”
“…”
“…”
Soon, everyone's attention turned to Lin Fang.
Lin Fang was stunned for a moment, his expression instantly becoming ugly. He immediately looked at Ning Yan: "What medicine?"
Ning Yan was no less bewildered than him, fearing that Lin Fang would rush over and fight Lan Ze, so he quickly pulled Lan Ze out of his arms and asked him nervously, "Why did you use the drug on Ruan Tang? I don't think you two knew each other! Why did you drug him???"
"I want that doll." Lan Ze looked at him with red eyes and explained his plan, "Yu Chengbai has too many people protecting him. I can't kill him. So... so I want to take you away and lock you up, and then..."
Ning Yan understood, so he widened his eyes in shock: "And then you killed that puppet in front of him, making Yu Chengbai think I was dead?! Do you think he would commit suicide and die with me???"
Lan Ze nodded while crying.
Ning Yan almost gasped for breath: "Why did you drug Ruan Tang when you wanted to steal the doll? Wouldn't it be over if you just snatched it?"
"He refused to give me the doll, and I was very angry, so... I gave him too much medicine."
“…”
Ning Yan's eyes were dull and he didn't dare to look at Lin Fang's expression.
His mind is now full of thoughts: It's over, Lan Ze, you might as well stab me to death.
