Chapter 160 - The Wisdom of the Tree 13
"What a failure. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hearing Liao Xueqing's words, Dio just chuckled, squatted down, and snatched the gun that Liao Xueqing took from her belt. She didn't look struck by it, confessed her failure, put the gun back in her pocket, and grinned.
"Even if the revolver is more convenient and I don't have to recycle the cartridge case myself, even the bullet leaves a lot of information. For example, whether the warhead has ricocheted before it stops moving, so as to analyze the external trajectory, combined with the inscription of the cartridge case, the residual gunpowder composition and other relevant information, it is possible to roughly analyze the manufacturer and origin of the bullet. The warhead also leaves traces of rifling, which can be said to be the "fingerprint" of the gun. I think the Ming Empire, which has nearly a hundred years of technology accumulation in firearms, should be able to easily determine the type of firearm fired, but it's a pity that you made a fatal mistake. ”
"In the Ming Empire, there are no stores that sell hot weapons, and civilians are not even allowed to possess firearms," the girl said with regret as she rubbed her tongue, "so you think that I don't have a spare barrel to replace, and you don't know much about firearms, and you don't know me very well." This gun has been with me since I was ten years old, has been used for more than ten years, is nearing the end of its life, and I recently bought a batch of parts in the UK, and because someone gave me a new gun, I have not found a suitable opportunity to replace the parts recently. ”
“!”
"However, I didn't win this time, we didn't have much time this time," Dior pursed his lips, "I didn't want to lie, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to make this decision." It's a shame that it was supposed to be a more interesting matchup, so I'll give you a chance. ”
"I have great mercy to let you live. Stay alive and get stronger, as of today, you're being fired from "D-10" for disobeying my orders. Zhu Yuanfang should be able to understand, although I am also a little reluctant, but in order for you to make me more happy next time, you must leave and live. Otherwise, I will destroy everything you care about. Whether it's to deal with me as a wicked person, or for your own concern, you need to do what I say, hahahahahaha!"
Dior ruffled his bangs and laughed uncontrollably.
"Ironically, isn't it? But you have no other choice, you are a hopeful human being, so you will not run away from the challenge of my wicked man, and you will not easily choose to end your life. I tried my best, I was covered in scars, and finally I had to challenge me, a wicked man who deserved to die. I'll repeat it again - I'll give you another chance, I won't kill you, you've picked up a life from under my wicked man, I don't care what you think of me, I don't care how you deal with my 'challenge', the next time you stand across from me, I just want you to satisfy me!"
"A simple victory is no longer enough to satisfy me, only someone like you, the only one who has cornered me, will have a little encouragement in this dead heart. That's right... This is one of the "pure" things I want, the satisfaction of victory! rack my brains, use all my strength, challenge the limit, the so-called fate is vulnerable! The real strong person is able to control his own destiny! Think desperately, fight desperately, only in this way can you make me feel the fullness of my soul, and only in this way can you truly live!"
"Fight to satisfy you...?!What are you kidding..."Liao Xueqing trembled violently, she desperately supported her body, staring at Dior, "Look at your ugly appearance! The Dior Connor I know is indeed a bastard, but he is also a "perfect" and "chic" powerhouse, and now you are no different from a maggot writhing with a disgusting body to satisfy your appetite!"
Dior's face froze, the smile faded from her face, and instead of getting angry, she suddenly calmed down. She suddenly realized that she had undergone some strange change, blind conceit, stupid strategy, and uncertain action, as if she had exhausted the prudence and wisdom she had cultivated in the past. She covered half of her face, and her face was cold and began to turn her mind.
Indeed, as she said, something seemed to change the girl's subconscious. When was it? I think it was before I came to the Ming Empire, long before I met Andre. But who? and why? She searched her memory, and soon found the most likely conjecture.
The book of "DIO". This thing is the thing that most likely affects her unconsciously, so when did this change begin? She has no memory of it, but now, she can't get rid of it. None of the people who knew anything about the book "DIO" had ever told her if it would have an effect on the owner, but judging by Sean's performance, it wasn't the book.
Suddenly Dior realized something, she took the hand covering her face and looked at the ring on her index finger.
"The wicked... Savior?!" She muttered something to herself, and no one could understand what she was talking about, and then she laughed out loud and said, "What 'perfect', what 'chic', that thing is my DIO?
Nothing changed her, she was the person she was, and the idea of a rat living in the sewers was not complicated.
"Looking forward to meeting next time, Liao Xueqing, you are a good 'toy'. ”
Arrogant laughter, arrogant wickedness. She has never changed in any way.
――――
"Is this the place?" Su Xiang was dragged by the Yujian to the location indicated on the map.
It was a willow tree dozens of meters high, and it would be impossible for an ordinary willow tree to grow to this height. Compared to it, the surrounding trees are as petite as a baby. The verdant green lives tenaciously even in winter, and there is no trace of decadence. You don't have to think about it to know that this is not a gift from nature, and nature never gives anyone anything. Among the willow-lined avenues, only this big horn is in the middle of the road, which does not seem to be in line with the design of the road.
"I see, it's just a youkai," Yumi Jian said, sneering, "The reason why this piece of the map is empty... It is because of you that Zhu Yuanfang let you live here, but in fact there is nothing here. Changed it, the guy hiding behind it. ”
"It's not what you think. ”
A figure appeared in front of them, bypassing the huge thick willow tree. Yujian and Su Xiang were a little surprised to see the man, who was the black-haired girl in the photo that Dio showed them.
"This shouldn't be the first time we've met, it's been too long, and the rain is the sword. ”
You Guang held on to the rhizome of the willow tree, which was so huge that even the rhizome was much thicker than a one-person hug. She was carrying something wrapped in strips of cloth on her back, and she couldn't see what it was.
"I don't remember thinking I was a monster like you," Amami sneered, "Or are you actually one of the many so-called human powerhouses that I have killed?" I have met many such people, either the hatred of my ancestors or the guy who has never heard my name, who doesn't even know my abilities, and who comes to me like an idiot to duel. But you put so much effort into getting me here, I don't think you're going to be that kind of shit, are you?"
That's not quite right, because I'm not telling you any lies. ”
You Guang smiled slightly, she took off the thing behind her back and untied the strip of cloth on it.
"!" Yu saw the sword's pupils shrink suddenly.
It was a sword hilt, white of wood, with a fine ribbon wrapped around it. Strangely, the thing wrapped in the strip of cloth should not have only one sword hilt.
"Is this what you're looking for? isn't it just the hilt of a sword?" Su Xiang took a step back, her instinctive sense of danger.
"Of course it can't be just a sword hilt. ”
You Guang raised his head. She held the hilt of her sword, leaning slightly over it, and in the moonlight, the empty blade reflected a wonderful light. Although it was only for an instant, Su Xiang had already seen that it was indeed a sword, but the sword body was almost transparent.
"What...?" Su Xiang paused.
"The name of this sword is 'Amami'," Yukari's smile looked very strange in the moonlight, "That's right, this sword has the same name as the 'monster' around you, and only she can use this sword." She was also born because of this sword. Without this sword, there would be no "Rain Sword", and without her, this sword would be meaningless. ”
"Heh, you know me," Amami sneered, "Then you should also know that you monsters are no different from humans to me, just 'waste'. ”
"If you want this sword, I'll give it to you, but I want you to listen to me, and then what you do is your own business. ”
