Both of them had spent many days and nights together in the Machinery Workshop of the Flood Gang. Seven Brown knew that Leonard Churchill had the ability to focus on many things at once.

Speaking would not bother him.

While looking at him, Seven Brown suddenly thought of something, and asked, “Leonard, why do I always feel that you seem to have many concerns when it comes to adventuring with you? ”

She initially didn’t understand it fully, thinking that it might be because of the limitations of her mechanic’s abilities.

But looking at Leonard in his suit now, she knew that he had many secrets.

Even if they were friends, if he didn’t speak about it, Seven had no intention of prying.

But she felt that she could ask about it.

Upon hearing this, Leonard seemed to see her thoughts, he laughed and said, “I’m involved in a lot of complicated matters. Once others get involved, it can be very bad.”

Such as the arrest warrants from the Lionheart Family and the Miller Family, along with the double-sided undercover agents, these could all be fatal threats if anyone got involved.

“Oh.”

Seven Brown listened, and didn’t ask any more.

But her brows furrowed slightly.

It seems she was too weak to bring any assistance.

Looking at her expression, Leonard shook his head and said frankly, “The most important thing is that the Alternate Dimension I’m going to challenge is extremely dangerous, with a very high death rate.”

He remembered the spaces he had experienced: 407, the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth, the Greedy Mining Well, and the Outpost Battle. They all had ridiculously high death rates.

He couldn’t guarantee his survival in the next Alternate Dimension.

As he said this, he looked at Seven Brown, and said seriously, “And you are my friend.”

Seven Brown heard this, looked into his eyes and saw a pair of calm but solemn eyes.

She understood the deeper meaning of his words.

Leonard didn’t want to drag her into this.

Ordinary people challenged Alternate Dimensions for the sake of materials and treasures, but she found out that wasn’t the case for Leonard. Was he doing it to seek excitement?

Seven Brown asked, “Why?”

Leonard said, “An Alternate Dimension without death threats has no appeal to me.”

Upon carefully considering, Seven Brown could hear from his calm tone a kind of pathological compulsion for high difficulty adventures.

She mused for a moment, then asked with a frown, “Is it because of Mental Deformation?”

“Yes.”

Leonard turned his gaze back to the newspapers.

As he read, he casually responded, “I am lacking in some emotions that normal people can feel, such as happiness.”

Seven Brown asked in confusion, “But I often see you laughing?”

Hearing this, Leonard paused for a moment, then said, “Most of the time, it’s just muscle memory.”

In the eyes of the audience, a clown is always laughing.

Even if his heart is in chaos, the corners of his mouth could curl up to his ears, smiling brightly at everything.

Thinking about it, he added, “I mean, I feel that I should be laughing at certain times. It’s not that I really feel happy.”

It’s the first time someone asked seriously.

And this is the first time Leonard mentioned some of his inner thoughts. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Seven Brown was also surprised by what she heard.

Even though it was a very ordinary sentence, it gave people a deeper sense of depression and heaviness. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

It seems like his spirit was trapped in a certain kind of mental dilemma, unable to escape or save himself.

Seven Brown’s eyes trembled. She felt as if she was truly getting to know this friend whom she thought she had already known well.

She responded with a brief, “Oh.”

As if she understood.

She suddenly thought of the scene when they first met and asked, “Do you know where I first saw you?”

Leonard casually replied, “At Old Benson’s Antique Bookstore?”

Seven Brown corrected him, “No, it was earlier. I had just arrived at the side of the street on my motorcycle when I saw a guy on the overpass make bread appear for a group of beggar sisters.”

After hearing what she said, Leonard recalled that scene.

Oh, it was that time.

This topic was heavy and seemed hollow.

There was silence in the carriage.

At this moment, Seven Brown looked at the information in his hand again and asked, “Have you decided which Alternate Dimension you’re going to?”

Leonard pointed to the newspaper and said, “This one… ‘1981 Titan Mechanical Research Institute.’

The space he needed should contain plenty of monsters and is restricted to the Second Tier, and its difficulty limit is high enough.

The other requirements don’t matter much.

And this space also issues Mechanical Drawings, making it perfect.

Seven Brown looked at his choice of Alternate Dimension, guessing that the Mechanical Drawings were chosen for her. She, too, asked, “Can I go with you?”

Leonard didn’t directly refuse. He simply said calmly, “That space is currently being cultivated. The difficulty has already reached level B, and the death rate has reached 69%. And I might challenge an even more difficult level… ”

Seven Brown also calmly said, “But… I’m already prepared to face death.”

On hearing this, Leonard looked at her.

Seven Brown continued calmly, “The old man once told me that one cannot become stronger without being prepared to face death.”

She said seriously, “Now, I’m sure I’m ready.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard took a moment to think, then agreed with a firm, “Okay!”

After several hours, the train arrived at its final stop.

Here stood the new city chosen by the Lionheart Family, located tens of kilometers west of the Thunderbolt Fortress, the same as Sinless City, the ruins of the city left behind from the Taren Dynasty.
