Chapter 323 The Dead Rest in Peace
Two days later, the weather suddenly turned cold, and the city of Steam City, which was constantly spewing industrial waste gas, was covered with a layer of haze that made people a little panic. The sky also began to blow fine rain like cow hair along with the strong wind.
The chill of this autumn has begun to show its signs, and everyone has added a layer of clothes.
Clark's funeral was arranged in the cemetery.
There were not many people who came to mourn, which was a bit inconsistent with the propaganda that he was called a hero. This cold farewell made Lin En, who was wearing all black today, even his shirt was black, feel indescribably depressed. He stood among a group of people who were also dressed in black, not very eye-catching, and no longer had the pride of the past.
Platinum-colored hair was close to his scalp, and the rain fell and stained the collar of his black coat. Lin En silently stared at the pastor and made the last prayer for the coffin.
The traitor was about to leave forever.
He gave them a knife and left. This knife was his last lesson, and he didn't even have a chance to refute.
"May the dead rest in peace, burn the filth, and return to the kingdom of the gods." The pastor made the final farewell with a solemn expression. The whole farewell process was very depressing and painful.
Everyone who came had some sadness in their eyes.
Although many people knew some inside information and knew that he was a traitor, they would still be sad about the departure of an old clerk like Clark. Other branches did not send people to mourn, probably because they knew about it and did not want to rub salt into the wound. This hero's medal was more like a pillar of shame.
As the coffin was covered with shovelfuls of floating soil, Lin En blinked and looked up at the gloomy sky.
'Goodbye, teacher. '
No matter what you have done, no matter what your last madness was, you will always be that ordinary clerk in my heart. And it was this ordinary clerk who provided care and guidance on the road ahead, so this teacher was sincere.
Lin En presented a flower to Clark's coffin.
It was a bunch of marigolds, rare pure white, which he had worked hard to produce in the past two days.
Clark's epitaph was left by him during his lifetime: There are regrets that cannot be made up, which is the biggest regret.
After offering flowers, Lin En met Clark's father, the owner of the restaurant, with a little plumpness. He was obviously a fat man, but he gave people the feeling that he had lost a lot of weight in two days. His red eyes were full of sadness, as if this old man had collapsed halfway.
As a member of the third team, Lin En should go forward to comfort him.
But the little gentleman who was usually eloquent and social was like a fool at this moment, motionless, his feet seemed to be rooted, and he couldn't walk towards him. He couldn't help but roar in his heart.
'Damn it! How can I say comfort to the father who lost two sons? Do you want me to say that Clark is a hero? What kind of kidnapping is this kind of white lie? ! '
I don't know who gently pushed Lin En.
Lin En found that he was not as firm as he thought. He walked to the father with a little shaky steps. There was a child crying not far away. The father was sitting on the ground, unable to bear it. When he saw Lin En, a trace of apology flashed in his sad eyes, as if he was apologizing for his excessive sadness. He didn't look like a gentleman at all.
"I..."
The little gentleman's tongue was a little knotted. He didn't know what to say. He was most afraid of this situation before crossing. It was a scene that made your thinking stagnate and you felt it was not right no matter what you did.
"It's the handsome little gentleman. I heard Clark mention you. He said you are very smart..."
In the end, it was the sad father who came to the rescue.
Lin En nodded like a puppet, answering mechanically. He clearly heard him talking, but his brain seemed to have filtered out what he said. Even Chao Yi unconsciously retreated a little in this overly strong sadness.
Parting with life and death, the old man sent the black-haired man away, the comrades betrayed and left, and the orphans cried.
All this mixed together, like the most deadly bitter wine.
Lin En remembered that he opened his mouth and seemed to say something, and then he ran to the side in a daze. When he reacted, he was holding a tree and retching. The overly strong and sad emotions hit Lin En's heart hard, and even the tough heart could not help feeling sad at this moment.
A blue handkerchief was suddenly sent from the side, and Lin En took it subconsciously.
"Thank you."
"This is the first time I see you so embarrassed." Atali's natural and somewhat arrogant and powerful sound sounded, like the sobbing of a glass organ.
At this time, she was wearing a simple and solemn black dress, and her hand socks were also black, which made her look much more mature and solemn. The girl in the wheelchair seemed to be stronger than Lin En. In this strong atmosphere of sadness, she still maintained a rationality that she didn't know how to evaluate, like a gorgeous wheelchair sculpture.
Wiping the corner of his mouth, Lin En suddenly remembered that when he was in a daze just now, it was Atali who pushed him from behind.
He probably made her laugh.
"Well, not bad. At least my spirits are back." Noticing the changes in Lynn's spirit, Atali raised her lips with some pride, revealing a rare look of satisfaction.
"I'm not that fragile. It just happened too suddenly." Lin En argued for his dignity. He wiped the corner of his mouth and didn't dare to look directly at Atali.
Perhaps he was afraid of being seen guilty.
"As an extraordinary person, you are destined to experience such things. For you, this may just be the beginning." Atali didn't seem to be very good at comforting people. The words that came out of her knowledgeable mouth were also full of hard rationality, just like the cold wind in late autumn.
"If possible, I don't want to lose any important people again." Lin En smiled bitterly.
"It's the same as her idea. I don't want to lose anyone. Well, my evaluation of you is a little higher. Then Mr. Lin En Moriarty, please take care of me in the future. I have difficulty walking up and down the stairs and I should need your help." Atali raised her bare hand to Lin En. Her slender palm looked very beautiful under the wrapping of the hand socks.
"It should be."
Lin En subconsciously shook it, and then showed a puzzled expression.
What do you mean by please take care of me in the future?
"Yefuni hasn't had the chance to tell you yet, but from today on I'm the clerk of the Light Bearer. Well, it will probably take some time for me to get a promotion, but don't worry, I can handle the clerical work easily." Atali shook Lin En's hand gently, then shrank back as if she was a little sensitive.
