Xuan Yi raised his head suddenly, although in front of him was only a cold cage made of alloy and unadorned, his eyes did not seem to focus on this, but through the layers of iron bars, beyond countless barriers, and fixed on what was happening somewhere in the distance.

"What's wrong?" Mocer, who was leaning against the iron cage, was tearing at the dried dried meat that he had gotten out of nowhere, as if the bumpy carriage had not affected his appetite, and when he saw that the former was in a different state, he stopped his movements and asked.

"It feels familiar...... The kind that's so familiar that it's annoying. Xuan suddenly stood up, turned to Mercer and said, "Boy, let the convoy turn around, I have a very ominous premonition, probably...... Something happened in Shanghai. ”

"Hey...... Don't embarrass me, senior, I can't let the escort convoy return the same way because of [a very ominous premonition], right? What's more, it was you, the prisoner who was escorted, who proposed it, so I have no reason to accept it. ”

Mercer smiled strangely, then threw the last bite of dried meat into his mouth, and propped his arm on the fence, allowing his face to press close to Xuanyi in the cage, "Then again, senior, there is something that I am quite concerned about. I can vaguely guess that you were captured by us so cooperatively only because you wanted to achieve your goal more unhindered, that is, to meet our director, and after this purpose was satisfied, you would not be so willingly escorted to the Imperial prison to be guillotined. ”

You're bound to jailbreak halfway through.

His emerald pupils flickered slightly, and the subtle sound of mechanical adjustment resounded quietly throughout Mercer's body, and he looked directly into Xuan Yi's eyes, maintaining that false smile on his face, "Why don't we skip those routine steps and reduce the time wasted by each other, now...... How's it to get started?"

I really want to see how powerful you can be without tying your hands.

The carriage shook slightly, the two of them were silent through the iron window, for a long time, Xuan Yi's hands gently shook to the outside, the shackles connecting his wrists were torn off so easily, the broken iron ring clanged and fell to the ground, Xuan Yi held the gap in the railing, and smiled calmly at the face outside: "Look at what you said, it seems that you know me very well, speaking of which, what kind of predecessor am I? At your age, you can't carry a gun with me back then, right?"

"In every sense of the word, I should call you a senior. Mercer quietly stepped back, distanced himself from the cage, and leaned against the wall of the carriage behind him, "You seemed to have a good time chatting with my younger siblings before, so you must already know where I came from?"

"Ah, I already know, I didn't expect that this place is still a chaotic area, I thought that the empire had done some governance of that place, but I didn't expect that until now it is still a hopeless garbage dump where children are forced to take up arms to make a living. Tapping his index finger lightly on the fence of the iron cage, feeling the hardness feedback from his fingertips, Xuan Yi replied.

"yes, a hopeless dump...... The officials appointed there either colluded with the local gangsters, or died inexplicably in their toilets in the middle of the night, and no unfavorable news could leave the city, and even if they did, the court officials with bribe money only turned a blind eye. A paradise for villains and fanatics, a treasure trove of black trade, the people who grew up and lived there are like wild boars trapped in a swamp, who can only watch their future sink into darkness, but cannot extricate themselves. Mercer recounted the hometown that he had spurned countless times, and at the end of the words, he paused, and then raised his hand to Xuan Yi in front of him, "But there, a person like you has come out. ”

"Me?" Xuan Yi tilted his head slightly, "So what?"

"Senpai, you don't understand that feeling. Mercer shook his head, "For a long time, I have been a person who spares my life, in order to support my brothers, as long as the bounty is rich, I dare to take over the most difficult assassination operation, as for the reason, it is not because of any ridiculous things like [brave], but because of ...... I never felt that my life was anything valuable, and if I took a deposit, even if I failed the mission and was wiped out on the spot, the money would be enough for my brothers to live for a while longer. The Middle East is the most chaotic region in the world, and we, just the most insignificant slum children in this chaotic zone, how can our lives matter as much as the money to buy bread tomorrow?"

Xuan Yi listened quietly to the former's narration and sat down on the ground, he had always been a qualified listener. Seeing that he had no intention of breaking out of the cage, Mercer simply sat down cross-legged, the two sat at each other, and Mercer continued to speak: "I can't say that I am inferior, in short, this kind of consciousness is the same even if I follow the director and am promoted to the executive officer, remember my insignificance, and never look forward to the sun tomorrow...... Until one day, I turned to the information about the [Seven Heroes]. ”

Speaking of this, Mercer's expression seemed to begin to get excited, and the fake skin attached to the mechanical face began to twist abnormally, "[Killing God Xuanyi]! One of the founders of the new world! The key to turning the balance of victory and defeat in the world! This man, he is actually from that damn place just like us!"

"I am still deeply impressed by the mood at that time, I often make up legends and deeds about you with my younger brothers and sisters, some of which I heard, and some of which are really written in the files. Mercer looked up and smiled, "Those words, those records, may be just stories to others, just after-dinner conversations, but they mean a lot to us. Your deeds have made us understand that even in that kind of place, it is possible to come out of a great person like you who subverts the world, and it is the first time that you have let me, and the relatives I have maintained, have such a thing as [self-confidence], and I would like to say [thank you] to you for this. For us, your existence is like a guide, and a sentence of [senior] is a matter of course. ”

"It sounds like I didn't do anything, but you don't have to, you have made all the achievements of yourself, and even if you are in the same era as me, you will definitely make a career. Xuan Yi scratched his head embarrassedly, and then, he regained his normal color, pointed to the lock of the cage, and said to Mercer, "If you really want to thank you, how about opening this lock for me to go out?"

"No, the director's kindness is just as important to me. Mercer laughed, "So, senior, you can try to escape from prison, and in return, I will at least get you a quicker defeat and make you look less ashamed." ”

"Hey, that's not broken. ”

Xuan Yi stood up again, stretched out his hands, and grasped the cage fence in front of him with ten fingers. "In that case, let's use what I do best......
