Chapter 11 - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 01
What to do?
Calm down, think, what to do? The purpose of the Skull and Bones Club is to capture Yuru alive, and if you don't, you won't be able to get her technology... And if she is handed over rashly, Dio will also lose her bargaining chips, and for those who have no effect, Dio does not think that these skeletons called international terrorists will let her go. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info nine seconds, she even paused time to think, taking advantage of the fact that the ship of the Skull Club was still a long way away from her.
There are not many bullets left in the bullets she bought, and they practiced at Connor's house, and after they came out, they fought several times, and they were supposed to be replenished in the town, but they were lost because of the wounded and the pursuit of the Skull and Bones Society, the number of enemies is unknown, and the opposing ships are conservatively estimated to have fifty permanent personnel, and there are at least 30 people in addition to the torpedo boats that have just been broken.
The only thing she can rely on is the Magnum in her hand, which has accompanied her since she was a child.
Dio couldn't help but look at Old York, the battle-hardened veteran was much calmer than her, and he skillfully removed one of the tillers, and inside it was a thorn cone.
"Little girl, you'll cooperate with me later. ”
Old York said this suddenly, Dio didn't know what Old York was talking about, but soon, she would understand.
Old Yorke picked up his white shirt with a thorn cone, and strode to the stern of the boat, where it was rocking, and the approaching Skull and Bones ship, the members of the Skull and Bones who were preparing for battle did not shoot rashly when they saw the strange white flag. The old man's purpose had been achieved, and he picked up his shirt, half of his body exposed to the stern.
"Listen up, you pirates! This bed has another 300 kilograms of bombs!
After saying that, Old York immediately retracted, and then extended a thumbs up to Dior.
Is it a bluff... It can delay a little, but it still can't change the fact that the broken ship is nowhere near as fast as the Skull and Bones ship. However, Dior became more and more suspicious of the old man's identity.
"You know, who Yuru is. She held her gun and leaned against the stern.
"Ahh ”
Old York replied briefly, he felt in his pocket, as if he wanted to take out his pipe, but helplessly found that his pipe was still in Dior's hand. He knocked twice on the aft deck and threw the tobacco bag around his waist in front of Dior.
"If you don't pay me back, then I'll give it to you, I hope it hasn't been soaked in the sea, and there are still some matches in it. ”
"Hah..."
Dio picked up the cigarette pouch and placed it in the palm of her hand, the smell of spices and tobacco mixed with her mind tightened, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, then opened the cigarette pouch and took the pipe out of her pocket. This delicate wooden pipe is not like a pipe that is often worn by people who wear it all the time, and even if it is covered with a layer of enamel and exposed to humidity for long periods of time, it will not last long.
She stuffed the tobacco and spices into her pipe, lit the tobacco with a match, and then wiped the cigarette holder with her sleeve a few times and stuffed it into her mouth. A familiar feeling, in the smoke, Dior could feel a trace of nostalgia. She wasn't a good person, and she still is, when she forced the town's delinquent teenagers at gunpoint to hand her tobacco.
It's just that after her father's death, when she went to Connor's house, she rarely came into contact with tobacco.
"That pipe has been with me for thirty years," said Old York, whose eyes twitched at the sight of Dior's movements, "and I didn't smoke when I was in the British Navy." Truth be told, this stuff is really addictive, just like money. ”
"It's not the same. ”
Dior exhaled a puff of smoke and put down his pipe.
"It's because I'm single that I have nowhere to go to this thing that I have a lot of attachment to it, and to put it bluntly, it's just a few pastimes for a poor creature like me. ”
She said this, looking at the old York, who was so laid back that she didn't look like she was under the threat of a skeleton.
"Who said that? If that's the case, where are there so many people who can't quit smoking? ”
"Because humans are poor creatures. ”
"Humans?"
Old York glanced at Dior in surprise, and at this time, the ship of the Skull and Bones that had decided the action also sailed to the side of the Queen Bailey, and was preparing to take overboard.
"It's boring to try to prove that you're human. ”
Dio shook the burning tobacco from her pipe off the deck, cleaned the ashes inside, and then put the pipe back in her pocket, and when she was done, she stood up and stretched.
"Give me the weapon, old man, and I'll take care of these henchmen, and completely dissociate myself from humanity. ”
“... Do you know what you're talking about?" Old York looked at Dio with a serious face, "Except for the Ming Kingdom on the other side of the world, no country would accept non-humans as citizens. ”
"Old man, why don't you understand anything after living for so long?" Dior sneered, pointing his index finger to his temple, "I have lived in the slums since I was a child, and I have not been sold to the kiln yet? Could it be because I have British protection? Could it be because I look at me pitifully? Is it because I use it here! But the more I calculate, the more I understand that human beings have the limit of being human beings, and if I want to cross this... Only by giving up my human identity, I want to surpass humanity!"
“... Looks like I'm wrong about you," Old York shook his head, and he threw the thorn cone at Dio, "you're a villain far beyond what I thought." ”
"NO! I'M DIO, NOTHING ELSE. ”
The girl's beret slowly fell to the deck, and with it a gust of sea breeze.
No, that's not the sea breeze.
The members of the Skull and Bones Society had set up rope ladders and ropes and were ready to board the Queen Bailey, when a dark shadow descended from the sky. In an instant, the lives of the six members who were preparing for the landing operation disappeared with six gunshots that were very close. The members of the Skull and Bones Society were not shocked, and as they searched for the attacker, the attacker disappeared as if he had never appeared.
"Report headquarters, this is 'Alpha2', and it's been attacked by unknown sources... It was gunshots, but the attacker was not found!
"It's okay, keep boarding and fighting!"
Although they were a little surprised, they were still ready to board the ship, but at this moment, the sound of gunfire came from behind them, and six more people were killed in a series of six shots, and only four people were left in an instant. Fear gripped their hearts, and so far they had not even seen the face of their attackers.
"Who is it... Who the hell is it!" The Marines pointed their guns behind them in horror.
Excited, frenzied, she couldn't help but put the gun back on her waist with trembling hands, hiding next to the cargo hold, there were still 10 rounds left, she was immersed in the joy of wantonly depriving others of their lives, the pleasure of this crime made her feel superior, yes, I am not human, and I don't need to obey the laws of humanity... Even if the girl was killed, she was an international enemy, a terrorist who most countries in the world wanted to get rid of, and she still couldn't suppress this feeling.
It's like something you were born with.
Fear, fear, and then die in ignorance.
"Stop. ”
The sudden sound startled Dior, who immediately pointed the gun at that side, but was grabbed by the wrist very easily, and the huge force made her unable to break free for a while.
Time... Stop!!
The distortion of the air, and the madness of the girl, who was about to stab the thorn cone viciously at the person who was grabbing her wrist, but...
Gone, as if it had never existed, and while the air was twisting, the people who were still here had completely disappeared. She looked around, but couldn't find her goal.
Who is it and where?
Nine seconds passed quickly, and when time began to flow again, 'she' appeared without warning.
"How about at least seeing if it's friend or foe before attacking?"
“... You are... Hunter Ministry?" Dio looked at her cautiously.
"I don't think I've ever introduced myself yet, too. ”
A girl as tall as her, with red eyes and long silver hair. When he first appeared at Connor's house, he informed the girl that a werewolf was coming, and a girl who looked like herself.
"Sixteen Nights, the foreign mercenaries of the Hunter Division, like you, are the "Capable Ones". ”
In a gentle, but somewhat unpleasant voice, the girl called Sixteen Nights Moon played with the silver knife in her hand and said to the girl.
"That's enough, the Hunters' Department has arrived, and if you continue to kill like you did, I don't guarantee that the knife won't go into your heart next, pseudo-'vampire'. ”
"Where is the Hunter Division?" Dior still did not let his guard down.
And Sixteen Nights Moon pointed to the soles of the two of them.
"Beneath the surface of the sea. ”
――――
The Marines of the Skull and Bones Society were all wiped out, and four of them had silver daggers stuck in their bodies, which must have been the credit of the Sixteenth Night Moon. Dio followed the Sixteen Nights back to the Queen Bailey, and saw scenes that she would never forget.
The pitch-black steel beast broke through the water, as if waiting for the next prey to appear, and stayed in silence in this sea.
"Lieutenant Colonel, it has been confirmed to ensure the safety of Warrant Officer Chapek, what about the civilian?"
On the Queen Bailey, three people in different costumes were standing in front of Old York.
"The civilian has been identified as the 'Able,'" Old York said, and after a brief moment of silence, he said, "Cleaning up the remaining remnants of the Skull and Bones with Sergeant Sixteen Nights." She's a girl from the Connor family, let's escort her back to London. ”
"Yes. ”
"Shouldn't the Hunters' Department be the Queen's personal guard, and they've been given military ranks?" Dior climbed the rope ladder up the Queen Bailey, witnessing the whole report.
"It's just for the convenience of management," replied Old York without looking back, "doesn't she also have a military rank for Sixteen Nights? ”
“... Your rescue speed is really embarrassing," Dior collapsed weakly on the deck, "It took me and Yuru to escape from England to Ireland for a day, counting from the time of Yuru's accident, a total of three days, what have you been doing in these three days?"
"Before that, our submarines were still exercising with the Soviet Union in the Arctic Ocean, and there was no one nearby except me and Sixteen Nights on vacation," Old York explained to her, changing his previous riffraff attitude, "Besides, we don't just belong to the Hunters' Department, do you understand?"
“... Is that confidential?"
"It's good that you understand. ”
"Please send me back to London, then, where my property is still there, and the reward promised by Warrant Officer Yuru Chapek, and do not forget it. ”
As he said this, Dior closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.
It's not like she doesn't need sleep.
It's just that the restlessness she couldn't suppress was still hovering in her mind, and she couldn't leave for a long time.
