Chapter 105
Luber's dark and dead eyes rekindled a ray of light——Ludwig's hesitation made him feel that the plan was feasible.
Ludwig held his face sideways with one hand, and when he was not smiling, his eyes were smiling, and he was staring at Luber without blinking.Ludwig was hesitating, and he was also calculating gains and losses, and the silence before Ludwig spoke made Luber's heart tormented.
promise...
promise...
promise...
Lu Bo's face was as calm as usual, but he clenched his teeth secretly, heaving a sigh of relief in his abdomen, and he couldn't relax until he heard a satisfactory answer.
In the end, Ludwig opened his mouth to release Luber's fearful punishment. He smiled and said, "Your proposal is not unfeasible, but I have conditions."
Luber: "You say."
Ludwig half-closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and said, "I want a combat ship that can take off immediately, and I also want your capital star pass."
Luber had already prepared for the worst and would be blackmailed by Ludwig severely, but he didn't expect that after Ludwig put forward these two conditions seriously, he would be gone.This was completely beyond Luber's expectations. He believed that Ludwig must have dug a trap for him. When he "agreed", he would step into the routine designed by Ludwig, but no.Ludwig's sincerity moved Luber a little. Although Luber hated Ludwig extremely, in the negotiation field, newcomers like Ludwig were definitely the most popular.
Luber agreed without hesitation, as if he was afraid that Ludwig would suddenly repent, he hurriedly took out his capital star pass in the space barrier, and handed it to Ludwig.
Ludwig took the direct pass with a smile, glanced at it, and said with a smirk: "The Star Alliance is really a bunch of bumpkins. What is the age of this, and there is a personal photo on the pass?" And Luber on the pass, look It sounds stupid.Just like how stupid he is today.
Ignoring Ludwig's ridicule, Luber reset the destination of the hover train from the outer island to the nearest military base.
Luber promised Ludwig that as long as he arrived at the military base, Ludwig could drive a battleship back to the embrace of the galaxy and regain his freedom.However, Luber did not give this freedom promise a deadline.
Obviously this is an unfair deal.
Ludwig, however, readily accepted.
Ludwig was not worried about Luber's every move. After all, Luber was more resistant to the engagement ceremony than Ludwig at this moment, so it was impossible for Luber to send any tip-offs to Aristine and others. On the contrary, it will prevent most crises for Ludwig.Ludwig deepened his smile. The reason why he said that Luber would isolate him from "most crises" instead of "all crises" was because Luber's inner thoughts at this time must be dark. He hoped that Ludwig would appear in front of Aristine again, and he hoped that Ludwig could completely disappear from this world.
Even if Luber turned around and shot Ludwig now, Ludwig would not be surprised.Whether it's the interstellar thieves or the interstellar alliance, there is no absolute justice, and there is no absolute kindness.Lu Bo can be qualified for the position of the right adjutant of the Interstellar Alliance at a young age. If Kong really has a hippie smiling face, he will definitely not be able to fish in troubled waters in this position. Sometimes "approachable" is just the best disguise for "cruel" and no one will Shine your guns in front of people, and stab you in the back when you smile and hug.
Ludwig looked at the fleeting light and shadow outside the car window leisurely, and Luber's indifferent side face was reflected on the car window. Compared with the usual hippie-smiling Luber, Luber at this time was really a bit permeable, but Ludwig was not worried that Luber would stab the knife backhand at this time, because he was sure that Luber would not do such an aboveboard thing.
Lubo prefers to kill people with a knife, and enjoys sitting back and enjoying the benefits.
……
Arriving at the military base and obtaining a battleship, all of this went smoothly, with no incidents or accidents, Luber's ability to act was evident.
Before Ludwig left, he never forgot to tease Luber: "Baby, you are awesome, do you want to reward you with a kiss?"
Luber stared coldly at the front. He was doing business and ignored Ludwig's teasing. He handed the activation key of the battleship to Ludwig and urged him bluntly: "This battleship leaves the route of the capital star. The trial has been passed, and after you leave the capital planet, you can travel in the vast universe, can you leave now? We did not rush to the outer islands, and His Highness Aristine will soon notice something is wrong."
Ludwig took the activation key, approached Luber with a smile, and said mysteriously, "Before I leave, I want to confess something to you."
Luber narrowed his eyes, and took two steps back in undisguised disgust.
Ludwig blinked innocently, and said, "Actually, Aristine is not the first person I have met who is very smart."
Luber hated Ludwig deeply and gritted his teeth, "You should go!"
Ludwig also knew that time was running out, so he turned around with a smile and wanted to leave, but he still couldn't help but turn around and stab Luber in the heart: "The first person I met was Luther, listen, 'Luther' And 'Ludwig', my name is his surname. When it comes to bedtime, Luther and Aristine are evenly divided, I like them the most~"
Lu Bo's eyes were red, his anger was burning, his hands were clenched into fists, and he said solemnly, "Get out!"
Ludwig shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "Yeah, that's not friendly", while complaining in his heart that Luber is still too young, and his blood is just young, and he can easily be disturbed by the enemy, which seriously affects the most basic distinction. ability.When Ludwig landed on the battleship, he really saw the preset orbit on the battleship, and he could leave the capital star at any time.
Ludwig threw the capital star pass that he had obtained by extorting Luper into the cockpit, then started the battleship and galloped towards his freedom and the vast interstellar space.
***
Ludwig escaped from marriage.
Going around in circles, different routes lead to the same goal, the same as in the previous life.
Ludwig turned on Andre's communicator while adjusting the course of the battleship, and asked without looking sideways: "Hey, Andre, where are you? Have you located me?"
Andre's voice came from the communicator: "You have been located, but... Speaking of which, Ludwig, did you really run away from marriage?"
Although Andre has clearly located the trace of Ludwig's escape from Capital Star, he is still unbelievable about "Ludwig's escape from marriage".After thinking about it, Andre also felt that it was not easy for Ludwig. He heard that Ludwig used to talk nonsense when he was in the training base, saying that Aristine would fall in love with him at first sight, but he did not expect it to be true now. .Andre coughed, changed the subject, and asked, "Is it Luya who helped you escape from Capital Planet?"
Ludwig: "No, I have been with Aristine for the past few days, and Luah is not here. Today I seduced Aristine's right adjutant and asked Luber to help me escape from Capital Planet."
Andre: "..." He seems to have heard some terrible inside information?
Ludwig added: "By the way, Luber also gave me a battleship."
Andre was completely speechless about Ludwig's behavior, temporarily dismissed the idea of continuing to gossip about Ludwig's private life, and returned to the subject: "I will pass on our location navigation to you, you should come and meet us first."
The smile on the corner of Ludwig's mouth gradually faded, and he said, "No, you have to come out to pick me up."
Andre was about to laugh at Ludwig for being childish, when he heard Ludwig's calm voice continue: "I'm being tracked, and ten drones are biting my ass behind me ...Oh no, it’s a dozen or twenty drones, or even more.”
Hearing the news, Andre's smile froze on his face. After being taken aback, Andre hurriedly sounded the alarm, and persuaded Ludwig on the other side: "Didn't Aristine love you enough to get engaged to you?" Is this the end of you making him angry? Just send drones to beat you into a sieve? Why don't you pretend to surrender first?"
The drone entered the field, indicating the opponent's intentions—there was no room for sloppy negotiations, and they would not stop until Ludwig's battleship was sunk in the universe.
Ludwig did not expect that the pursuers would come so fast and pursued so urgently.
The battleship Ludwig was on galloped past, drawing a fleeting red tail line in the vast universe.The unmanned fighter jets are lighter in size and faster. They are under the joint control of the fighter headquarters and follow Ludwig's channel. They look like funny followers, but once Ludwig's battleship Entering the range of their artillery fire, these terrifying unmanned fighter jets will fully open their minions.
There is no shelter in the vast universe, no matter how superb Ludwig's skill in driving the battleship is, he can't resist being exposed to dozens of unmanned fighter jets unobstructed.
Ludwig's brows were slightly raised, and his expression was not relaxed.
Luber betrayed him to the Senate, which was expected by Ludwig, but didn't the Senate covet Ludwig's living body for experiments?Now, uncharacteristically, he directly dispatched an unmanned fighter jet, vowing to blow Ludwig into ashes——Ludwig could not accept such a joke.
"Andre, listen."
Ludwig's voice came from the communicator, with a coldness that was no longer warm in the past.Andre didn't interrupt indiscriminately, because he could tell that this was Ludwig's solemn determination after careful consideration.
"Andre, I knew in advance that Luber would betray me, but the first party he revealed the news would not be Aristine, he would only sell the news to my deadly enemy, the Senate."
Andre is a smart person, and he can automatically associate the cause and effect as soon as he hears it, so there is no need for Ludwig to repeat it.
Ludwig continued: "I'm going to feign surrender."
Andre replied in astonishment: "Why?!"
Knowing that the enemy chasing after him is the senate with malicious intentions, Ludwig still wants to feign surrender?
Ludwig twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "The plan remains unchanged, I will surrender."
Andre strongly disapproved of Ludwig's impulsiveness: "Have you ever thought that if you fall into the hands of the Senate, your end will definitely not be good... This time is no better than the last time we rescued Wag, our combat effectiveness It's far worse than you and Luya joining forces, not to mention that Luya is not here..." Combined with the reason of the president, and without the leadership of Ludwig, the backbone, Andre felt that their rescue success rate was very low.
Ludwig did not refute Andre's words, and Andre knew that he could not dissuade Ludwig from his thoughts.
Ludwig calmly analyzed the reason: "Listen, the battleship Luber gave me must have been equipped with remote sensors. If I rush to join you now, I will actually kill Wag. Don't forget, old man The goal of the academy is not just me."
Andre pursed his thin lips, quickly adjusted his mentality, and asked, "What's your plan?"
Ludwig: "My plan is to surrender, I just hope... this time, you can come to rescue me in time."
Andre: "Huh?"
Ludwig smiled and complained, "Victor is too unreliable."
Andre: "??"
Having said that, Ludwig was suddenly hit by a strong shock from the right wing, making his right hand numb. Ludwig finally entered the artillery range of the unmanned fighter jet, and the sky was full of artillery fire, like a beast full of fangs. Ludwig's bloody mouth was about to be bitten to pieces.
Ludwig frowned, and his thin lips were pursed into a line, trying to find a way out and an opportunity to surrender under the fierce artillery attack of the drone.
Andre's voice sounded again, cutting through Ludwig's tense tension, "Ludwig, you broke the contract and escaped marriage, the Star Alliance reported to the outside world..."
Hearing this sentence, Ludwig was stunned, and was almost taken advantage of by the unmanned fighter jet behind him, and an explosive turbo grenade brushed past his right wing.
"boom--"
The grenade exploded right in front of Ludwig, breaking into a hot blast.
At this tense moment, Ludwig couldn't help but glance at the communicator distractedly.
However, there was no news from Aristine.
Andre, who didn't know the real situation, was still guessing: "The news of your escaping marriage has spread all over the stars. The happiest person should be Lure? Maybe he will come to help you?" With the addition of powerful combat power, Andre will not be so disturbed now.
"Ludwig?"
No one answered.
"Hello, Ludwig!"
Andre's voice tinged with panic.
But he still didn't get an answer from Ludwig, what replied him was the endless sound of explosions and crackling sounds of electric current leaking out.
……
Ludwig was captured.
As he wishes, or not as he wishes.
After a thousand turns, he was lying on the cold operating table on the battleship again. His field of vision was occupied by the overhead light of the operating table. He tried hard to open his heavy eyelids, and there was only white flowers in front of him, which made him a little confused. reality and dreams.
There were many people standing beside the operating table, or multiple shadows formed under the messy lights, they were chattering and arguing endlessly.
A voice said: "He is the strongest target among the survivors found so far, it's a pity to abandon him!"
Another voice retorted: "If you don't give up, you can't do it!"
After a long silence, someone said: "Then activate Plan B."
Ludwig was exposed under the bright operating lights, dizzy and dizzy, with chest tightness and shortness of breath. Although he had the idea of escape in his heart, he couldn't hold on anymore, and lost consciousness as soon as his eyelids closed.
***
Star Age 929-30-12 (before Ludwig was reborn)
***
In the vast universe, a three-winged battleship pierced the silent starry sky. The wing propellers of the battleship blasted out two groups of fierce artillery fire, dragging two fiery red tail lines in the lonely sky of stars.
"Boss, are you still alive?"
A lazy voice came from the communicator in the cockpit, and there was no half-hearted concern and tension in the frivolous tone.
Ludwig's consciousness in the deep chaos was suddenly awakened, he opened his mouth, but failed to make any sound, but another voice answered instead of him——
"Barely alive."
This voice was so familiar, so familiar that Ludwig opened his eyes in surprise, and couldn't wait to find the source of the sound.
The man was sitting in the cockpit, and the fiberglass canopy above his head was forged from the strongest material in outer space, which could become an impeccable shield and also provide the driver with an excellent view.The cannon fire outside the canopy reflected the handsome and pale face of the man, the short black hair was still dripping with water droplets, and the ends of the hair were drooping tremblingly under the pressure of the water droplets, sliding along the man's firm and handsome side face to his chin, Finally fell to the ground.
"pat"--
Ludwig was all too familiar with this look, but at this moment he felt completely unfamiliar.
The man's eyes were bloodshot, and against his pair of smiling peach eyes, he looked extraordinarily weird.His body was only covered with a knee-length white gown, his feet were exposed, and a scarlet rusty mechanical buckle was fastened on his right wrist.
Seeing the mottled red marks on the man's wrist, Ludwig held his right wrist subconsciously, as if he could feel the sharp pain coming from his right wrist, which was transmitted to the nerves in a very real way. Enough to hurt his heart.
Ludwig held his breath and endured the pain, his panicked eyes scanned the blue screen in front of the man, and there were red dots flashing on the light screen, one, two, three... more and more red dots, densely packed Clenching the white dots on the screen.
The only white light spot was tightly surrounded by red light spots, looking helpless, just like the man's current situation.
Ludwig breathed heavily, and stared wide-eyed to inspect the surrounding scene, everything was horribly real, as if repeating the same mistakes of the previous life.Trapped alone in this small cockpit, the man pushed the joystick forward with his right hand, and whispered to the person on the other end of the communicator: "...I will not be able to live any longer, I need support."
Without waiting for the other party to answer, the man turned on the engine on the left side, and the battleship flew sideways, dodging the explosive grenade fired from behind. Into a gorgeous spark.
"boom--"
Thick billowing black smoke fell on the fiberglass hood of Ludwig's current fighter plane, and clanging grenade fragments bounced aimlessly around.
Ludwig was in a state of confusion, staring at the man's extremely fast operation, driving the battleship out of the thick smoke of the war, and the cockpit alarm display also issued a piercing alarm at this time: the remote sensors of the 28 unmanned fighter jets had already Make him your target.
The siren sounded extremely ear-piercing, and the lazy voice came again from the other side of the communication in the cockpit: "Boss, you should surrender quickly, this time you are bound to win over there, everyone has dispatched drones for a while The team is over, why do you have to earn a living?"
Ignoring the noisy voice on the other end of the communicator, the man tightened his grip on the joystick, turned on the engine, and gave an order to the fighter's mastermind: "Full speed forward."
The person on the communicator was still persuasive, persuading: "Boss, surrender, a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, life-saving is the most important thing, in the end it's just a sacrifice of appearance..."
Ludwig could tell that the person on the communicator was Victor.
And Victor is currently trying to persuade "Ludwig" to compromise.From Victor's point of view, not to mention that His Royal Highness who "forced marriage" to "Ludwig" is the most sought after object in the entire galaxy, and his boss is not at a disadvantage.What's more, every time the Star Alliance comes to force a marriage, the boss will drag him out as a shield, hug him in public, and give him a "little Weiwei" on the left and a "baby" on the right, sweet and greasy Tired of calling him Victor's name, His Royal Highness Aristine put him in the top five of the interstellar rewards, which really made him complain.
Looking at the entire Thieves Alliance, who doesn't know that Victor is just a big vase, and he can't do anything except talk, but His Royal Highness Aristine thinks highly of him so much.
The more Victor thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. Fortunately, Victor was not the only poor guy who was implicated by "Ludwig", and Victor could get some comfort.After all, the commander of the fleet alone has contracted the top three interstellar bounties, and the other two interstellar robbers who burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil have won the top five on the list.
Obviously, the man sitting in the driver's seat was not in the mood to tease his "baby". He hated his subordinate who was always talking sarcasticly, and punched the communicator with a fist: "Shut up!" Mouth!"
At the same time, a prompt popped up on the blue display screen directly in front, and the mastermind system of the battleship asked Ludwig: Do you want to locate the specific destination of the channel?
The man stared at this line of prompts without blinking his eyes, pursed his thin lips in thought for a moment, and finally chose "No".
Ludwig stood behind the man, with a faint smile on his lips, he had already seen the end of the man.Now that the drifting shipwreck has nowhere to go, the man doesn't even have a "destination". He also knows that this time is bad luck for him, and he doesn't want to drag Victor and everyone else down.
I saw the man with a sullen face, scolding: "Victor, I'll see you when I go back!"
Victor laughed and laughed, not afraid of the threat of "Ludwig". On the contrary, it was "Ludwig" who said "Wait for me to go back" to make him feel at ease temporarily.
Ludwig looked down, and saw the man exhale lightly, with only a bleak smile on his lips.
Ludwig wanted to comfort and hug him, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth, and he couldn't touch the man's shoulder when he reached out. At this moment, he was only left with a cloud of ideology. He thought, this is probably a dream. When reborn, experience another hysterical death.The experience of being hunted down by the Senate is still vivid in Ludwig's mind. As the most beautiful thief leader in the entire galaxy, "Ludwig" has experienced countless times of siege and killing by the Star Alliance in his life, but never I have never been so embarrassed as today...
It has to be admitted that "Ludwig" was more legendary in his last life, but the reason why "Ludwig" became "interstellar" was not because of how many warships and aircraft carriers he intercepted and how many alliances he defeated in his life. It was because His Royal Highness Aristine of the Star Alliance fell in love with him at first sight and issued a "marriage contract" invitation.Ludwig once affirmed that it was Aristine who made the current "Ludwig" and it was Aristine who ruined today's "Ludwig".
All these misunderstandings started with Aristine's invitation to "Ludwig" to marry him--when he heard the news, the whole StarCraft was crazy about it. His Royal Highness Aristine, who is at the top of the "Dream Lover" list, would actually like "Ludwig", an interstellar thief who is full of evil and hugs left and right?What made the interstellar people even more outraged was that the whole interstellar agreed that it was a great blessing in the universe to be seen by His Royal Highness Aristine, but "Ludwig", he openly rejected Aristine. marriage proposal.
The abnormal behavior of "Ludwig" aroused the anger of the people, and because of this behavior, "Ludwig" became famous all over the stars in a way of being scolded.
At that time, "Ludwig" hated Aristine's practice of repeatedly sending fighter planes to harass his cruiser under the guise of a marriage proposal.Faced with the endless "provocations" of the Star Alliance, "Ludwig" was very annoyed, so he finally agreed to the request to set foot on the Star Alliance battleship alone, and proposed to have an interview with His Royal Highness Aristine.However, when he stepped on the battleship, he thought that what was waiting for him on the alliance battleship was a soft bed, but unexpectedly it was a cold surgical bed. "Ludwig" didn't even see Aristine himself. But he was forcibly imprisoned: he was forced to inject weird serums, transplant mechanical chips, and have cell sampling and directional culture for him...
Faced with the sudden change, Ludwig at that time would naturally blame Aristine, mistakenly thinking that Aristine's "love" for him was approaching madness, even if he couldn't get his heart, he would still get his people, so Attempts to use cloning technology and insert smart chips to transform a well-behaved and obedient "Ludwig" who can be played by him.
……
At this moment, Ludwig stood from the perspective of an outsider, looking down at his past self recalling the unspeakable experience he had suffered. He was so distressed that he wanted to stretch out his hand to smooth the man's wrinkled eyebrows, but There was nothing left to do but to sigh silently.
The noble and elegant His Royal Highness Aristine cast an indelible shadow over the heart of "Ludwig" back then.
And the person who pushed "Ludwig" into this pit of fire——was Luther.
Luther and Vichy, the perfect partner for the popular Thieves Alliance.
The person who fought side by side with "Ludwig", the person who joined the thieves for "Ludwig", the person who made "Ludwig" miss him, the person who promised that "Ludwig" would stay with him The people around him... That person, in the end, walked towards Aristine's camp, leaving him with an untouchable back.
"Ludwig" in the previous life didn't know Luther's true identity until his death, so in the end, "Ludwig" felt that he was a joke to Luther.
The man in the cockpit was still struggling in the painful mire of memories, but Victor, who was far away on the other side of the communicator, stepped on a landmine at this moment: "Boss, where is Luther? Is he okay?"
The man's absent-minded eyes suddenly enlarged.
"Zizi..."
A tiny current leaked from the channel of the cockpit communicator, and the flickering sparks crackled, interrupting the communication signal. As Ludwig and the man wished, Victor on the communicator side successfully shut up.
The man smiled miserably: "Hehe..."
The tail fin on the right side of the fuselage was shot and bombed. At this time, the alarm display also issued a piercing beep: "There is a phenomenon of small black holes phagocytizing each other in the forward channel. The intelligent system will re-determine the route and immediately change the direction of navigation."
"Black holes eat each other?"
Ludwig and the man's eyes fell on the main display screen together, and saw two close-fitting black spots on the channel directly in front of the fighter.These two black dots are like twins, but they are quietly devouring each other.
The universe is full of dangers, and the black hole is like a ferocious monster dormant in it. As long as it enters its horizon, even light cannot escape its tiger's mouth.Facing the twin black holes that were close at hand, the 28 fighter jets behind them did not catch up, but lined up on the spot to attack the battleship with artillery fire.
The limitation of the horizon of the black hole in front of him made the man feel like a nail in the coffin, and the anti-aircraft artillery fire behind him intertwined into a dense fire net, waiting for the fish that slipped through the net to fall into the net again.
There is a dead end before, and there are chasing soldiers behind.
To make matters worse, the alarm display issued a piercing mechanical sound at this moment, pulling their nerves: "Alarm! The right wing turbine system has been paralyzed."
The jumping red alarm cursor on the display screen was projected into the man's red glass-like eyes, and a little bit of red light seemed to be rubbed into his eyes, turning them into bloodshot eyes.
Ludwig felt sorry for himself in front of him.
Victor mentioned Luther at this moment, which is equivalent to cutting off the man's sense of survival, "Where is Luther? Is he okay?"——As of the cognition of "Ludwig" before his death, he knew that Luther Of course it's fine, and it's fine. "Ludwig" believed that it was Luther who cheated him and the Thieves Group into trusting him, and then feigned death in the battle between the Thieves Group against the Star Alliance, and returned to the Alliance, causing "Ludwig" to shed tears in vain.In the end, it was surprising to find that Luther appeared in the Star Alliance intact. "Ludwig" still deceived himself to convince himself that Luther was captured... until "Ludwig" heard that sentence from Luther's mouth Saying: "Accept Aristine's marriage proposal."
……
The misunderstandings were closely linked, and "Ludwig" really collapsed at that time.
So—"Ludwig" didn't wait any longer for Victor's support. He never wanted to be captured alive by Aristine, and he didn't want to see Luther again, so he chose to blew himself up and accelerated his own destruction.
Ludwig opened his mouth slightly, only to see that the man in front of him had made up his mind, and his thin lips were pursed into a line. Without hesitation, he turned off the automatic navigation system of the fighter jet, and operated the densely packed control keys on the control panel with extremely fast hands. The intelligent mastermind issued an order: "Calculate the distance between the horizon of the black hole and the tidal force."
After finishing speaking, the man pushed the joystick, and the fighter jet roared forward at a suicidal sublight speed!
The alarm display kept beeping, like a death knell ringing in the vast expanse of stars: "Alarm! The current distance from the black hole boundary is less than 1 kilometers!"
"Less than 900 kilometers!"
"Less than 600 kilometers!"
"Less than 300 kilometers!"
"Beep-"
The warning sound of the alarm display stopped abruptly, the sound of crackling electric current sounded on the main screen, and all the displays went black at the same time.
Immediately following the violent shaking of the cockpit, the fighter jet with the paralyzed right wing turbine had deviated from the course, and the wall of the aircraft was under the impact of a strong external force.The man looked at the fiberglass canopy above his head indifferently, and the cracks that were spreading and torn on the canopy were reflected in his red-brown glass pupils, and the distorted smile from the corner of the man's mouth mixed with Ludwig sigh—
The canopy was shattered, and the battleship exploded!
Ludwig thought he was liberated in his previous life, but he lived in a mess.
The author has something to say: There should be another sentence at the end of the chapter: Ludwig thought he was liberated in his previous life, but he lived in a mess. He couldn't beat Aristine, which was not enough to solve the hatred in his previous life.
