Chapter 67 - The Dark Star, Underground Gold 04

The long and narrow passages, the dim lights, seem to be endless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Laman, who was striding forward, glanced back at Dior from time to time and smiled kindly. The empire he spoke of was the territory of the Connor family, including the "White-hell". As Raman arrives in a dimly lit room, like an upgraded version of Broadway that can be seen everywhere in a big city, plush chairs are lined up in several rows, many of which are already occupied, and in front of the red curtain on the 'stage', the host and some waiters are preparing something, and Raman and Dior are the prime seats above the stage.

Having almost guessed what would be behind the curtain, Dior sat in the front row with Raman, fists clenching pipes and joints creaking.

"Looks like you're not happy with this, but the Romanian government is grateful to us for wiping their ass. Raman held up the glass of sherry and gestured to the staff.

Are you angry? Maybe, but she doesn't know the reason for being angry, it doesn't matter what happens... The main thing for her was that if the Connor family and the skeletons would get together, her position would become very awkward. On one side is the hunter department of the three kingdoms, and on the other side is the Connor family who secretly helps the Skull and Bones Society, both sides were originally her ideal 'backing', but now she has to be hostile to one side and help the other.

With the old-fashioned opening remarks, the underground auction began. The curtain opened, and young boys and girls in fancy costumes stood side by side, the smiles on their faces were genuine.

"What would have happened to these orphans without us? being able to find their bodies in the sewers, be abandoned somewhere no one can see, and die. Abandoned by parents, abandoned by the state, there is no hope, no one can be trusted. They have long understood the fact that they have been abandoned by the whole world, and besides, they happen to survive, and it is not better for them to be bought by someone to become adopted sons and daughters than to stay in an orphanage where nothing will be solved? ”

"Is anyone else bidding?"

Raman's voice and the host's voice were mixed, and Dior listened to it word by word, unconsciously putting his hand on the gun, perhaps his patience was almost at the limit.

"Do you want to destroy this place? It's not a bright place, and I don't think it's a desirable place, a human trade... What a dirty trick, but..."Raman looked a little helpless, perhaps it was the same as the children who were 'put up' on the stage for auction, "whatever the time and place, upholding indifferent justice will only make things worse." At least these children are alive now, and maybe better. It's much better than dying on the streets, in the sewers, in the trash. ”

"It's really amazing, obviously doing unsightly things to satisfy your own interests, but you can always pull out some legitimate reasons," Dior raised his head, his eyes full of blue malice, "How much did it cost to raise such a child?"

“... It's a reality, it's about a few hundred thousand pounds, and we are inspired to train them to be 'useful talents', of course, the price will be higher, depending on their own performance, and they will have a limited grasp of their future with endless efforts, and it is no different from us, isn't it?"

Placing the glass back in the waiter's tray, Raman removed the white glove he wore on his right hand, which was marked by a shocking wound. Raman laughed self-deprecatingly, looked at Dio's indifferent expression, and said to himself:

"Decades ago, after the end of the American War of Independence, the United States had maintained a soft attitude towards the Indian issue, but all this changed after the president of the Skull and Bones Society issued an order. He ordered us to find an excuse to massacre the Indian tribes of Montenegro, and I was just an ordinary Marine at the time, and you must know the end result. We slaughtered more than 300 people, all unarmed children and women. ”

The wound was also bitten by a seven-year-old child. He bit my hand so hard that he was shot in the abdomen, and I can't imagine the perseverance of a seven-year-old boy with no training, and maybe the last scream of his life. I didn't shake him off, I just thought it would be nice if it would make him a little less painful. ”

The massacre of the Wounded Knee River... An event that should not have happened during this time period. Dio was silent, and in her memory, the trigger for that massacre was the discovery of gold in Montenegro. The attitude of the federal government changed from protecting Indian territory to driving out gold prospectors, to trying to buy Montenegro and expel Indians to new reservations, and war was inevitable. Although the Indians resisted desperately, they even inflicted heavy losses on the army led by the American lieutenant colonel who discovered the gold mine, and killed the American lieutenant colonel himself, but they were finally defeated by the government.

Shortly after the defeat, the famous Indian celebrities, and even members of American high society, the famous chief and prophet "Crouching Cow" were killed, because the U.S. government feared that he would once again lead the Indians in anti-white activities and wanted to arrest him, and in the process engaged in a skirmish with his supporters, in which Crouching Cow was also killed. After that, the clans of the Indians began to flee, but the endgame was about to begin.

The fleeing Indians were surrounded by the same army they had inflicted on and brought to the vicinity of the Wounded Knee River, where more than 300 captives were killed.

"I don't think there's any connection between this, you're a pacifist?"

Dio sneered and drew his gun and pointed it at Raman's head, her movements terrified the attendants and security guards next to her, but Raman signaled them not to panic.

"I'm not a pacifist, but I now understand that without power and money, you can't do anything but pity," Rahman said, putting on his gloves, "Most people think of wealth and centralization as an end, but that's just a means." ”

"That's a beautiful thing to say, you think I'm going to feel sympathy for it?

"I'm just doing what these guys who claim to be in the government aren't doing well, and these kids should be paid to be raised by the Romanian government. I don't think I'm a person who overflows with compassion, and I'm just trying to make up for my sin. If you think it's wrong, shoot me for a long time, kill me again, and leave another scar on this body. ”

Raman opened his hands and calmly faced the muzzle of Dior's gun, without any intention of resisting.

"I'm sorry, I retracted the words I said before that you were a 'monster'," Dior pulled the bolt, "You're just a human being, whether it's the emperor of the Ming Empire or you, it's just that you're immersed in the pain of the past and can't extricate yourself, trying to make up for the 'human' in the past." I'll tell you right now that I have no interest in the lives or deaths of these children, and that I have nothing to do with what life they will live. John Connor, did my stupid brother ask for orphans from you, or had you heard any rumors about his experiments? ”

“... It seems that my evaluation of you is not quite accurate," Rahman chuckled, without any fear on his face, "I only thought you were an unpredictable little girl at first, but now it seems that the evaluation is not quite accurate, you are such an unscrupulous fellow." Unfortunately, even if you knew, you couldn't do anything about it. ”

"Tell me, don't talk nonsense. Dio sneered.

She didn't need to deal with the questions here, she just needed to force what she wanted to ask, leave, and let the Hunter Department handle the rest. She also doesn't make any guarantees and doesn't have to be responsible for anything.

"Well, John Connor is secretly conducting experiments on American soil, and the research materials he needs have been collected a month ago. He selected "normal" and "defective" individuals from among the children and shipped them to the United States for his experiments, the exact location of which I don't even know. ”

"You should know what the experiment is about. ”

"Of course, as I think you know, that is a great invention that can change the landscape of modern warfare, and a terrible realm beyond the realm of humanity. ”

To create a better human being, the 'future Eve'. That's why we need to choose "ordinary" and "flawed" individuals in order to reflect the 'better'?

"Well, there will be a period later. Having gotten what he wanted, Dior slowly lowered his gun. Next...

The gunfire suddenly rang out, Raman didn't see anything in his eyes, and by the time he reacted, the sound of gunfire had already spread throughout the auction room. The bodyguard beside him had already been shot, and his entire right hand was almost broken, and the blonde, blue-eyed, noble-looking 'eldest lady' smiled hideously, stepped on the arm of the security guard who was shot, and the screams spread throughout the auction hall.

"What are you going to do?" said Raman frowned.

"Your name is Raman, isn't it?" Dior sneered at the man, "The one who can stand at the top of this world must be the one who has overcome all fears. If you want to deal with fear, it becomes fear itself. For the sake of faith, for the sake of justice, for the sake of redeeming the past, laughing at the dead! fame and fortune, what a wonderful thing, but I refuse. What the future of orphans, what peace of mind, everything I do is to satisfy myself, that's all! This is my only satisfaction! Process and method, it doesn't matter! And here, today, will become history!"

Dio pulls out an electronic detonator. Raman's face changed suddenly, he opened his mouth wide, and pounced on Dio, trying to stop Dio's movements, but it was too late.

A violent explosion was heard from outside "White-hell".
