The atmosphere was awkward. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info No, it should be only Yuebai who thinks so, she sat uneasily on the sofa in front of the coffee table, and Dior, who was unceremoniously drinking coffee face-to-face, looked at her leisurely and looked a little panicked. Cheap instant coffee is enough to satisfy this demon king, she doesn't care what the tribute looks like for herself, she just needs to feel "respect" from it.

Like all villains, no one is allowed to underestimate them.

"That..."

"Don't you think you're hiding a lot from me?"

Yuebai had just spoken, but Dio immediately interjected a sentence and came in. Yuebai was stunned, then clenched her fists, it was expected to be seen through, she shouldn't have hidden it from Dio in the first place - she knew that this person would never miss this information.

"Yes, I used that pocket watch..."

"What else?" Dior frowned, "it's okay to just guess, you must have a lot of ideas after meeting my visitor from another world." ”

“... Yes. ”

Her ideas are wonderful. Obviously, she knows almost nothing about monsters and abilities, but Yuebai still has a lot of unique insights.

She believes that Dior is not a being in her writing, but an extension of a parallel world in the world that emerges from her creation. In other words, Dior's experience may not be the same as her "DIO". After carefully reflecting on her own creations, Yuebai came to this conclusion - the Dio in front of her was only one of them.

After Yuebai told Dio these thoughts, the demon king frowned deeply.

If Yuebai didn't create her existence as Yumi Jian said, then Yumi Jian's perception of this pocket watch would be biased. If Dior could have traveled back to the world of the "19th century" with the help of something, it could not have been the world she was in before, and she might even encounter another "DIO" there, just as she had seen another "DIO" on the "Calibur" in the world where time had stopped.

This may not be just the power of this pocket watch, the elusive Yumi Sword also has something to hide from her.

"It's a wonderful thing for me," Tsukibai sighed, "Honestly, I can't even confirm if I'm right until you wake up, you're Dior, not that "DIO". Did you know? Actually, my work is not known at all, and the well-known "DIO"... You've probably seen it on that ship. ”

“... That's right. ”

Dior's eyes narrowed, she habitually touched her pocket, but only found her pipe, and the tobacco may have long been washed away by the waves. She sighed, but saw that Yuebai quickly took out a pack of red packaged cigarettes, smiled and handed it to her.

"Without this, I wouldn't be able to concentrate. Yuebai said this and took out the lighter again.

“... Do you drink?" asked Dior, looking up.

"Occasionally... Most of the time, I just drink a little with my friends," Yuebai frowned slightly, "I don't like the taste of alcohol very much." ”

"Really?"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I don't really like the smell of alcohol. ”

Dior took the cigarette case and lighter and lit a cigarette. Across the swirling smoke, their eyes met, and the same blue eyes of the two met, and for some reason, Yuebai's back suddenly cooled.

“... I guess there is also a legend of "Wonderland" in this world. ”

"Well, probably in China more than 2,000 years ago..."

"I know, I don't need you to explain. ”

Dio cocked up his index finger and smiled maliciously.

"I don't think the average person would have such a small computer in their home. ”

"You say this computer?"

Yuebai looked surprised, she was stunned for a while, then patted the heavy display screen and said:

"It's not an unusual thing in the United States, you can buy it in stores outside. To be honest, there are still many difficulties in popularization, but mass production is not too big a problem, the main problem is that the price is not very affordable. ”

"In other words, this is something that the general public can also buy?"

Dior raised an eyebrow.

She has never been to the United States, and naturally she does not know the state of the American economy. This is a new country, and it has only been a few decades since the United States declared its independence, has the country's development reached this level in the past few decades? Dior looked back and accepted this reality. It's just that... If the United States begins to popularize computers, does that mean that this kind of electronic technology is no longer worth mentioning to this country? Theoretically speaking, the current US armament technology does not actually surpass that of any major country. In the period of open and secret struggle between the Soviet Union and the Ming Empire, it was the best opportunity for other countries to develop...

"So... The first thing to do is to make sure this is your original world. Yuebai thought for a while and said.

"You're too calm. ”

Dior's eyes narrowed.

Undisguised suspicion, if ordinary people encounter such a situation, how can they calm down so quickly? Dior doesn't believe that there are not so many coincidences in this world.

"Well, it's normal for you not to believe it, and if you were someone else, you wouldn't believe it," Yuebai shrugged, "I think so... So..."

"You might as well go and get some rest. Dio said suddenly.

"That's right... The thought of an opportunity to transcend the everyday is right in front of my eyes makes me overexcited, Dior Connor? Or is it just a coincidence? No, you're certainly different. ”

"I'll stay here until you wake up," Dior frowned, "I don't want to expect anything from a half-asleep guy." ”

Yue Bai froze for a moment, then scratched his head, and after a while, he stood up.

Perhaps thinking it was not good to leave the 'guest' at home, she explained where the belongings in her home were and told Dior that she could use them as she pleased, before she yawned and fell headlong on the bed.

Unsuspecting against Dior.

After the guy who didn't know what he was thinking fell asleep, Dior closed his eyes. She wasn't sleeping, of course, and some conjectures flashed through her mind, but there were so few things that would make her understand the current situation right now. However, it just so happens that there are good things to help her complete the 'forensics' now.

She glanced at the computer that Yuebai had forgotten to turn off, and a nonchalan smile appeared on her face.

――――

Dio Connor is dead.

No one would have thought that person would die so easily, but from 30,000 feet in the air crashing into the center of the Pacific Ocean with the plane, no one would think that she had a chance of survival.

Yes, she died, everyone felt so. Such a simple, such a casual way to die. There is nothing special about her death, the Ming Empire is still running in an orderly manner, and nothing has changed because of her death.

Even if the "D-10" was created for her, even though it was only labeled as MIA (missing during operation), Yuru Chapek, the temporary commander after Dior's departure did not propose a rescue plan.

And today, the atmosphere in Cortana's war room is particularly heavy.

They don't have time to mourn anyone, and everyone here knows it.

“... Dio Connor is dead, whether she's alive or not, for the time being, that's all we can say. ”

Yuru sat in the commander's chair, staring at the screen. With her back to the crowd, no one saw her face, and no one knew what she was putting on now.

"I don't believe it. ”

The first to answer was Sixteen Nights. She didn't sit in her seat like everyone else, but leaned against the door and looked at the people in front of her coldly.

"If she was alive, she would have found a way to contact us, but she didn't. ”

“......”

"Look at the point, Sixteen Nights," Yuru turned her chair, and there was no emotion on her immature face, "I didn't say she was dead, and even if she wasn't, we wouldn't need to worry about it." Now we have to concentrate on what's in front of us. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the screen, which was a map of Europe, and she could see several red lines from the German Empire pointing straight to Paris. She exhaled and pointed to Germany proper.

"Now our task is to carry out an attack on the German mainland in order to slow down the pace of the German Army's offensive. The locations you see now are marked by several of Germany's largest airports. Regrettably, the member who sent this information back has lost his life. Among them, two airports closer to the sea are within the strike range of "Cortana", while the remaining one is near Munich... It's time for you to behave. ”

If the Germans captured Paris, the next step would be the British.

Everyone knows that Germany will not stop honestly after taking Paris. However, the vast majority of those in the D-10 are not from the UK.

"With all due respect, Captain," Daria yawned, "I haven't heard of a communication from headquarters, and Carlibar is still in British waters, so we don't have to cross half the world to do this kind of mission, do we?"

"We'll go to the U.S. first. ”

The rain is like closing your eyes.

"It's not a secret that we'll stay there for two months in exchange for technology and then carry out this mission. When the time comes, the United States will also send some 'friendly forces' to participate in the war, and you should understand what this means. ”

The alliance of the United States and Great Britain.

At the moment of the great enemy, England's approach is understandable, after all, the Ming Empire has no intention of acting.

Daria waved her hand in disinterest, and asked no more, but at this time, no one noticed that the figure of Sixteen Nights had quietly left, and she was nowhere to be found.
