Chapter 208 - Shadow and Truth 04
Across the galaxy, Sherlock and the wheelchair came to the prison near the demon willow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoWhen they look at this willow tree, the only thing they can feel is loneliness. No one in the busy crowd looked at them more, even if Ruoyuebai was the governor of the West Factory, no one would stop for her for a second. Sherlock shrugged, patted her on the shoulder, and pushed the wheelchair for her. Most of them didn't know Wakatsuki Bai or Sherlock, and they were naturally stopped by the guards, but soon the guards caught a glimpse of the waist tag around Wakatsuki's waist, so they didn't ask much and let them in.
They were followed by quite a few members of the West Factory, and they were just standing in front of the prison, and Wakatsuki ordered them to stay there.
"Do you know the oath that the members of the West Factory took when they joined the team?" Ruo Yuebai suddenly asked.
"Only the members of the West Factory themselves know. Sherlock replied nonchalantly.
"I'm sure each and every one of them remembers it word for word. β
At this time, Sherlock still didn't understand why she was saying these words.
After a lot of formalities and inspections, the members of the West Factory even asked Sherlock and Wakatsuki to leave their cigarette sticks and pipes outside, and only then did they meet the "youkai".
Unlike the usual youkai that he usually sees, he looks like an ordinary human. She has no characteristics of a race other than humans, her weak figure seems to be able to blow her down with a gust of wind, and her ordinary appearance cannot be found by throwing it into the crowd, except for the unusual long white hair, ordinary, this is her greatest characteristic, she has nothing else to call it 'characteristic'.
"You know what? I'm disappointed, at least you don't look as amazing as you rumored. Ruoyuebai opened his mouth with this sentence.
"Wakatsuki White and... Sherlock Holmes?" she opened her eyes as she was imprisoned, "I know you're coming, but I don't know what you're going to do, and I prefer someone who speaks more bluntly, like Dior." β
"If I asked directly, would you answer?"
"Of course not. β
Unpleasant guy, Wakazuki Bai closed his eyes. There are not many prisoners in the prison, and most of the people who are held here are usually executed quickly, or they are characters who are not convenient for the public to know. It was so quiet, so quiet that even their breathing could be heard.
When she opened her eyes again, Sherlock was surprised to see a strange glow in her eyes.
"I see, you are also a 'defective product'," Bai Ze sneered, "I didn't expect to come to the Ming Empire once, and I could meet a guy like you several times." β
"Where's Dio Connor?" Wakatsuki ignored her words, this level of ridicule was not worth mentioning to her.
"Oh, don't you seem to care? You're a little more interesting than I thought," Bai Ze raised his eyebrows, grabbed the cage fence, and stared at Ruoyue Bai with a close face, "Then I'll tell you, she's about to detonate the first bomb." As for the purpose... I can also tell you that her purpose has nothing to do with me, and the detective here knows better than I do. The other day, Dio met with the mafia leader in Sicily, you should know about it, right? She was going to blame that guy for these things. β
β......β
"Don't you believe it? yes," Bai Ze stuck out his tongue mockingly, "Let me tell you one more thing, Dior is 'working' for Zhu Yuanfang now." As an exchange of status and money, he asked Dio to do these things, and Zhu Yuanfang wanted to cause war. As long as these things are pushed to the head of the Sicilian mafia, Zhu Yuanfang will have every reason to launch an 'international search,' and what will the panicked Italian mafia do? Let me tell you, some of them will flee to Britain in fear, the base they have just established, and the other part will threaten the Italian government to refuse to accept the investigation. β
Seeing that Ruoyuebai's face became more and more solemn, the smile on Bai Ze's face became even worse.
"Yes, as you think. The situation in Europe will be even more chaotic, just as Britain expected, to muddy the waters of Europe, Poland and Prussia, which were already waiting for an opportunity, will certainly be eager to start acting. And once they start to act, the Soviet Union will definitely bear the brunt, and once the flames of war ignite in Europe, who will benefit the most? It will be Britain and the Ming Empire, the two closest guys who are most likely to fish in troubled waters. The Ming Empire and Britain didn't even need to intervene directly, even if it was just to carry out so-called "aid", and they could make a lot of money by selling the military items that had accumulated in the warehouse. β
"Britain wouldn't be much better off if war broke out in Europe," Wakatsuki clenched his fists, "and Dio Connor doesn't represent Britain's position." β
"Is that so? Think about who is really in power in England, not the queen who sits on the throne, but the civil servants. This kind of opportunity... They won't let it go. What's more, the current British Minister of Defense is a member of the "D-10". And these are all her own plans. At first, I thought she was a simple person who only wanted to win, but I didn't expect that she thought too far ahead, and my eyes were far less than her thoughts. What a pediatric outcome I want, yes... She's ready for the next war, that's the 'victory' she craves, and the world is her playground! Amazing, isn't it? It's a pity that I can only do this kind of thing to interfere with her actions now. I wasn't qualified to be her opponent, so I gave up, and now I'm giving you this opportunity, so I'm telling you these things. β
"That's none of my business. β
Ruoyue Bai vetoed Bai Ze's words, she snorted coldly, and clutched the armrest of the wheelchair.
"I'm an agent of the West Factory, even if what you say is the truth, it's good for the Ming Empire. I have no reason to stop Dio Connor from doing so. β
"Is that really the case?" Bai Ze glanced at Sherlock with a little meaning, and then said to Wakatsuki Bai, "You don't know what you should do, right? It's a pity, no matter how good it is, a defective product is a defective product after all, and it will never be comparable to someone like Dior. β
So what? Ruoyuebai just wanted to say this, but immediately gave up the idea. Bai Ze seemed to know the course of her life, but she obviously didn't know herself. She never opened up to anyone, and perhaps, as Sherlock said, she was a little similar to Dior. She was silent for a moment, then smiled again.
"It's interesting, it's just a low-level agitation, but I'm still a little interested. I'm wondering if Dior Connor is as good as you say. β
"Ah, it seems that I'm still too arrogant, can't this kind of taunt make you angry?" Bai Ze lowered his head with a sad look, but immediately showed a smile again, "However, Dio will definitely not let you down - she may also want an opponent like you, especially you and Sherlock, so... This is a rare opportunity, just let me sit down for a while, bad guys, and let me see your "strength". β
What do you mean?
Before Ruoyuebai could say this, Sherlock suddenly dragged her wheelchair back, she subconsciously hugged the back of the wheelchair, and an explosion came out of Bai Ze's cell, and everything around was swallowed by the explosion. But the explosion shrank as if choked by something, and finally the light of the explosion gradually began to materialize, and finally condensed into white hair.
It was a "beast." Unlike any beast Wakatsuki haku had ever seen, her massive size blocked the dungeon's spacious aisles, her sharp teeth glistening with a cold light, barely exceeding her length. The graceful posture of this "beast" was very beautiful in the dimly lit dungeon. Then, Wakazuki and Sherlock suddenly remembered Bai Ze's voice in their minds.
"Let me tell you one thing, when youkai change from a monster's body to a human, they release a huge amount of energy. This is also the fundamental reason why the yokai does not change its form repeatedly, on the contrary, when we need to change back to its original form, the easiest way is to create an explosion. γ
"That's reallyβ" Sherlock's face was full of disbelief.
"This..."
Wakatsuki and Sherlock were both when they first saw the monster reveal its true form, and something more surreal than the ability made them distracted for a while. The sound of the explosion also attracted the guards and members of the West Factory, and when they saw such a 'beast', everyone's expressions were the same as those of Wakatsuki and Sherlock.
"What's the matter? Humans, oh, I've almost forgotten that most of you are just greenhouses that haven't experienced real war. γ
The beast's claws took a step forward, and the heavy stride made everyone's hearts tremble.
Fear.
Imprints deep in their genes have given them an irrepressible fear of this beast, which has been feeding on humans for more than a thousand years. The "beasts" also use humans as pawns, playing with them to applause, and the myths and legends of mankind, although they all end in the victory of the humans, is that really the case?
That's just myths and legends.
"The Governor... This is..."
"I am the blade of the Great Ming!"
The girl in the wheelchair suddenly heard words that they had all memorized.
"I am the Forbidden Guard! The wolf smoke of the Great Wall! is the Emperor's Shield!"
Her words finally reminded everyone of their duties, of their original "desires". Their voices rang out, gradually becoming one with the girl's voice.
"There are no flowers on my way, no applause, only thorns along the way! No fight for honor and disgrace, no crown, only glorify Kyushu! I will watch with my body until death!"
