What should I do if the seven veterans are revived at the same time?

Chapter 196 The Man in the Dream

When the first person who showed some obscene thoughts towards Zhuo Lan appeared, he quickly disappeared from Zhuo Lan's presence forever.

Then Alex announced to the public that Zhuo Lan was his younger brother.

It's not a very convincing lie, after all they both have blond hair.At the same time, Alex also warned all the believers that Zhuo Lan is a pure, innocent, and kind child, and no one is allowed to hurt him with obscene behavior.

Of course, except for declaring that Zhuo Lan is Alex's younger brother, everything else was done behind Zhuo Lan's back.At the beginning, Zhuo Lan didn't even know why some people's eyes were so...uncomfortable.

He soon discovered that Alex's followers were afraid of him.

To be precise, it was not fear, but purely keeping a distance. Some people who were close to him in the past also began to interact with him less casually.Zhuo Lan was at a loss, and asked them several times what was going on, but they couldn't give a clear answer.

Zhuo Lan had no choice but to ask Alex.

"They're all fine, it's just that you've grown up."

Alex ran along the child's hair.Even though Zhuo Lan had grown into a handsome young man, Alex still couldn't help but look at him with the eyes of a young child and tolerate him.But at the same time, under the reminder of those disgusting people, Alex also clearly realized the charm of this boy.

His blond hair is as bright as the morning glow, and his eyes are like the blue sky. Even though he is still developing, he can already imagine how amazing he will be when he grows up.Occasionally, alone in the dead of night, Alex would start to wonder if he was doing something wrong by bringing him in public.

Zhuo Lan is just an ordinary human child, and he has grown into a look that everyone loves.Alex was worried that once someone's "like" turned bad, would the power to protect Zhuo Lan be enough to resist this "spoiled like."

"When I grow up, will they stay away from me?" Zhuo Lan has already started to change his voice, looking at Alex to raise his doubts, "If I grow up again, will you stay away from me?"

"Of course not." Alex smiled, "I don't want you to cry, and your eyes are swollen for days and won't go away."

This was just a joke, Zhuo Lan smiled, hugged his waist, and buried his head in his arms: "But apart from tears, I don't know what else can keep you here."

Alex hugged him and patted him on the back: "You are already everyone's treasure, dear, you don't need to do anything, I will stay by your side."

"Actually, I don't care so much about others staying away from me. As long as you are by my side, I don't care about anything." Zhuo Lan said, "But if I'm not as good as you think, will you hate me?"

"Of course not, my dear." Alex said, "I raised you. If there is anything wrong with you, the responsibility lies with me. It is my fault."

Zhuo Lan looked at him suspiciously: "What does this mean?"

"It means, if you make a mistake, let's correct it together." Alex squeezed his chin, "So, you don't have to worry about anything, understand?"

"understood."

"Okay, go to sleep, my dear." Alex and Zhuo Lan kissed each other's cheeks, and they separated.

***

By Alex's side, Zhuo Lan's growth environment is of course very clean.

But the problem is that sometimes Alex needs to go out, or take Zhuo Lan to a strange environment.Even if some people didn't do it on purpose, Zhuo Lan, who was growing up, still inevitably encountered some things.

One night, Alex went out to do some errands without Zhuo Lan.Now Zhuo Lan can get used to Alex not coming back for several nights, because he believes that Alex will come back.

Zhuo Lan and Alex are currently staying at the local lord's house and have brought some believers, but this does not guarantee that Zhuo Lan will not meet other people.He was wandering the nearby gardens at night when he heard some strange movements.

Then, unbeknownst to anyone—not even the two he witnessed—he witnessed a... wild thing at night.

Any 16-year-old boy who is not familiar with the world will become a little "abnormal" if he suddenly experiences such a scene.

Zhuo Lan stumbled back to his room.

This night, he tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep.

But in the dream, there was a man with blond hair and golden eyes——Alex.

At dawn, Zhuo Lan suddenly woke up from his dream.He looked at the dim ceiling in a daze, panting lightly, his mind was full of the bizarre scenes in his dream.As long as I think back to the picture of any moment, I will feel blushing and heart beating, and my brain will be confused.

Soon, Zhuo Lan felt ashamed, remorseful and self-loathing for this.

He hated that he had such a dirty dream, but he hated even more that he had Alex as the object of the dream.He always knew that he was just an ordinary human being, even if he was protected by Alex, he would one day be unworthy of his care.

In Zhuo Lan's heart, Alex is always the object of reverence and love.

... Zhuo Lan originally thought so.

However, this night, Alex actually became the object of his dreams and did that kind of thing with him.After Zhuo Lan woke up, she couldn't face her own filth.

The thoughts that went round and round in his mind were sometimes the absurd plots in his dreams, and sometimes the spurning of himself.Finally, he made a decision.

He must keep it a secret, and never let Alex know!

At this moment, Zhuo Lan suddenly realized that some of the things Alex did in the past were to keep himself pure.But on this night, everything backfired, and Zhuo Lan started to go in the direction Alex didn't want.

Zhuo Lan couldn't imagine what kind of situation he would fall into if Alex found out about all this.

He immediately got out of bed, took off his trousers, and washed them off himself.He even took a cup of tea himself and splashed it on his pants, just to cover it up just in case.Fortunately, no one else was encountered along the way.Zhuo Lan washed the pants herself, hung them to dry, and then hurried back to her room.

From then on, the human Zhuo Lan had his own little secret.

The blood clan Zhuo Lan still watched all this.

"Ah, I was quite innocent back then." The blood race smiled, "Who would have thought that I would become like this now?

"Now that I have fallen so far, I have long since stopped asking for Alex's forgiveness, nor have I thought about how to hide it from him."

***

Zhuo Lan continued to grow day by day beside Alex.

His voice-changing period has completely passed, and his gorgeous voice perfectly matches his appearance.The clothes and jewelry that Alex chose for him became more and more exquisite. Zhuo Lan thought it was too expensive and rejected it many times.But Alex just smiled and touched his head: "You deserve it."

Zhuo Lan thought: I'm not worth it.

But he couldn't say it, he was greedy for Alex's care, his only attention and love.And he always felt that this kind of favor would suddenly disappear one day in the future, so before this favor disappeared, Zhuo Lan just wanted to enjoy it as much as possible.

Alex didn't seem to notice Zhuo Lan's change, he just faced Zhuo Lan and took care of Zhuo Lan as always.The human Zhuo Lan wears a "love filter" and is indeed relatively young, so I don't see any difference between Alex and before.But now, Zhuo Lan of the blood clan has experienced countless years of tempering, so he gradually noticed some changes.

He found that Alex became more and more... divine.

To be precise, Alex is still gentle, but he has become more and more inaccessible, as if there is an inescapable gap between him and ordinary people and believers.And he is less and less emotional, and he is less likely to see him get angry because of something, and he will not laugh heartily because of some interesting things.No matter what Zhuo Lan shared with him, he kept smiling and looked at Zhuo Lan, and then said good night to Zhuo Lan.

Kiss, hug, everything that the human Zhuo Lan secretly desires, Alex is not stingy to give.Of course, Zhuo Lan didn't dare to ask for more, the polite intimacy is already the limit.

Otherwise, Zhuo Lan might lose face in front of Alex.

In this way, everything changed quietly behind the scenes, but on the surface everything was maintained as before, until Zhuo Lan had passed.

Three months after Zhuo Lan's birthday, the day of parting finally came.

Zhuo Lan's birthday is not the day he was actually born, no one knows this day.Alex found out his real age when he touched his bones, and he took the day when he first met Alex as his birthday.

Just after his birthday, an important message came from afar, so important that Alex took him to the scene of the incident overnight.They couldn't get too close, because Alex said it was dangerous and didn't let Zhuo Lan pass.

As a result, Zhuo Lan, who is now a blood clan, can't go to the scene to see the situation - even if these images can no longer hurt him.

The blood clan Zhuo Lan went around the others.These people were ordered to stay here, and they couldn't say anything about danger in front of the human Zhuo Lan, but it wasn't necessarily true behind the scenes.The problem is that these people probably don't quite understand what's going on, and Zhuo Lan can't be sure of the truth after listening for a long time.

However, after putting together some fragments, the blood clan Zhuo Lan probably guessed something.

—Is it similar to the Crack in the Demon Realm?

Regardless of whether Zhuo Lan guessed correctly or not, this terrible accident obviously could not be suppressed.Alex returned less and less time, sometimes staying at the front line for more than ten days in a row.In the mansion, Zhuo Lan felt that he heard some kind of terrible buzzing, but when he looked into the distance, he couldn't see anything.

Until one day, the night never passed, and the day never came again.

Thick black smoke and dark clouds enveloped the sky, and there was a burning smell all around. When Zhuo Lan raised his head, he seemed to be able to see the fire from the black clouds.

He stood there in a daze, as if thinking of something, but couldn't react to anything.

The ground began to tremble, and the earthquake made Zhuo Lan unable to stand any longer, and fell to the ground in one fell swoop.The people in the mansion had already run away completely. They still remembered that when Zhuo Lan was there, Zhuo Lan only wanted to wait for Alex and refused to leave.But when he had to leave, no one thought of this young man again.

Zhuo Lan stumbled and ran out of the yard half crawling and half walking.But the ground quickly changed shape, some towered high, and some collapsed suddenly.Zhuo Lan fell heavily, his palm was cut and bleeding, but he didn't pay attention at all.

He suddenly thought: I am going to die.

——But even if I die, I have to go to Alex's side...!

boom--!

With a sudden light under his feet, the ground cracked!
