“... yes, it looks like you're going to be an enemy too, it's a pity, Dio. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Zhu Yuanfang and Dior's 'proposal' is still impossible for Sixteen Nights to accept. Dior's purpose is to use Dio and Sixteen Nights to work for Emperor Ming next, and threaten Yuru's refusal to provide technology to cancel Sixteen Nights' participation in this time, but the result for Nagisa will still not change - she will become the 'culprit' of everything, and die after receiving the harshest punishment of the Ming Empire.

"I didn't expect you to be such a naïve person, Sixteen Nights," Dior's blue eyes stared at his comrades-in-arms, "where did you put Sakuya? Who swore not long ago that she would be her mother? I don't judge whether you did it right or not, I just know that you have been derelict in your duty as a 'mother', Sixteen Nights. ”

"Looks like I'm just as irresponsible as your mother?" Sixteen Night sneered.

This was the fuse, and the next moment Dio pointed his gun at Sixteen Nights and Nagisa, and undisguised anger erupted from her, and the female rascal roared angrily:

"Say it again, what about what you ********** talking about?!! you ***" Sixteen Nights also responded unceremoniously.

The two sides were tense all of a sudden, but Miao Mucan, who was Zhu Yuanfang's guard, was at a loss. Once he inserted himself into the battle between these two people, he would inevitably be attacked by a group, and for his own safety and that of Emperor Ming, he still decided to stay away from the battlefield of these two terrible women.

"Listen, Sixteen Nights, I don't want us to get to this point," Dio lobbied, using her skills as a 'street thug,' "at least you have to think about Sakuya and don't do such stupid things." ”

"Yes, Sergeant Dio Connor, who is loyal to money and profit, you don't have any friends you need to protect with your life anyway, do you?"

As soon as the words came out, the two of them acted at the same time, Dio immediately pulled the trigger, and the bullet was discharged at a speed of 1,500 meters per second, .44 Magnum bullet The terrifying kinetic energy is impossible to see clearly even in the sixteenth night. However, Sixteen Nights, who have been on the battlefield for many years, are already familiar with all kinds of firearms, and may not be able to see bullets clearly, but they can see Dior's hand pulling the trigger, and Sixteen Nights noticed her movements as early as then, and also received a 'message' from Dior.

The fatal flaw of large-caliber revolvers is recoil, and Dior, who is accustomed to one-handed use, cannot completely ignore its recoil and aim and continue firing immediately after firing. Turning her head sideways as Sixteen Nights moved again, the bullet Dior aimed at her head scorched her hair and flew by. Taking advantage of the short time, Sixteen Nights immediately approached Dior.

Dio immediately drew his dagger and faced it, and the close combat was undoubtedly not good for her, whether it was experience or sheer physical fitness, Sixteen Nights was above her.

As expected, Sixteen Nights' fierce physical skills quickly suppressed her, the distance was too close, and the guns could not play their due advantages, and Dio had no intention of using a gun to block the military dagger. The material of the Colt python is stainless steel, if it really blocks it, maybe this gun that has been with her for more than ten years will be finished, which is not good news for her.

The gun, which had been with her for more than ten years, could not help her gain the upper hand in the battle against the Sixteen Nights.

The two tacitly did not use any ability, and after a few rounds of fighting, both of them were left with a lot of small wounds, but for the "monster", this is not a wound at all, if there is no infection, it can heal in just a few minutes.

Finally, Dio seized the opportunity, she kicked on the side of Sixteen Night's calf, Sixteen Night bent down in pain, took the opportunity to take two steps back, Dio pointed the gun at her again, but Sixteen Night had already thrown out the dagger in his hand, in a hurry, the dagger spun and hit Dio's gun-wielding hand, making the gun crooked again, and Sixteen Night also took the opportunity to step back again, returned to Nagisa's side, and took her hand.

The next moment, Nagisa Xia disappeared in place, and Sixteen Nights also teleported into the distance several times, although Dio raised his gun again to aim, but it was impossible to hit the target that was moving rapidly in space 25 meters away, so she had to sigh, open the magazine, and withdraw the cartridge case and bullet together.

"She's better at escaping," Dior said to himself, "it's a real nuisance, the parts are badly worn, and it's hard to support accurate shooting with manual calibration alone." ”

"It's okay, they're gone. ”

Zhu Yuanfang waved his hand, how could he not see that Dio and Sixteen Nights were just making a small fight? Neither of them had used their abilities, if these two people were serious about each other, the outcome would be decided in an instant. But this is not the part that Zhu Yuanfang needs to care about, because this is also part of the 'transaction'.

"Chan, give the order to go down, and the whole city will search for the fleeing terrorists/elements, and if they are found, they will be killed. Zhu Yuanfang waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Miao Mucan saluted with a fist and immediately began to make contact.

After ending this farce, Dio nodded to Yuru, and the two came to Zhu Yuanfang's seat. The first king of the world, still holding the wine bottle without saying a word, and there were many wine jugs lying crookedly around him, and he looked like a drunkard who was a drunkard?

"Do you think they're going to have a good ending?" Dio Connor," Zhu Yuanfang shook his glass, "they escaped the pursuit, they fled to a place I didn't want to pursue, and even so, would they have a good ending?"

"What are you talking about, I can't stop her, that's all. What happened next had nothing to do with me. ”

Sergeant Connor, who still looked angry, took out his pipe, and stuffed it with tobacco without caring for the emperor's face.

"Interesting, you just want to reply to your 'companion's request, that's why you're going to 'help her' like this? in the hope of getting something in return at some point? Do you think you'll be rewarded?"

"I don't expect anything in return, Your Majesty, I'm just doing my part, Sixteen Nights betrayed the Hunter Department, and the Hunter Department will also cancel her liquidated damages, and the Mercenary Department has problems repeatedly, and the Hunter Department will no longer have any stupid decisions to recall the past mercenaries and continue to fight. ”

Dior replied nonchalantly, striking matches and lighting tobacco.

"There is no difference between you and her, and the monsters end up with the same problems. ”

The green smoke of the lit tobacco mingled with the lights, the spiced tobacco exuded an alluring aroma, and Dio's hand holding the match froze as she stared directly at the emperor, who clenched his glass motionlessly. After nearly half a minute of silence, she continued:

"And what do you know about "monsters" deal with this kind of thing?"

“... Dio Connor, what follows is not speaking as the Emperor of the Ming Empire, but as your predecessor. ”

Zhu Yuanfang raised the wine glass again, he stretched out his left hand, and poured the remaining wine into his palm, and the wine flowed down the bookish palm to the deck, seeping into the cracks in the wood.

"The dead are forever, but you are eternal. For a long time, you will not be able to grasp anything, everything will leave you, and then your heart will still be free?"

The singing of the singer came from afar, hundreds of years, long since the mood and history were diluted, people no longer had doubts about the past, listened to it, recognized, can a huge empire in order be able to rule the world? Who can win the world war that may break out at any time? People don't care—at least not now, they have to get by, live happily, and people including Dior are just thinking about it.

She realizes that she is not 'now'.

As Zhu Yuanfang said, at any time in the future, anyone around her will leave her, and Dior has long understood his situation.

"Don't get too emotionally involved. Zhu Yuanfang finally said.

"Indeed, that's a good thing to think about," Dio replied without hesitation, her pipe in her mouth and her hands in the pockets of her trousers, "but, with all due respect, you're just a coward." ”

"Shut up, do you know who you're talking to?" Miao Muchan couldn't hold back any longer.

"Chan, shut up, it's not for you to interject. Zhu Yuanfang immediately stopped him.

"I'm not saying this to the emperor of the Ming Empire, but to the 'monster' who calls himself my predecessor," Dio took out his gun, took out a bullet, filled the empty magazine with a bullet, and then turned the magazine around a few times and placed it on the table. Fear, sorrow, this kind of thing is just an obstacle to the progress of people, and the person who can stand on the top of the world must be the one who has overcome all this, and who has the consciousness to open up a bright path of rationality and progress in the dark wilderness. And you are nothing but a coward, hiding from your past and fearing your memories. ”

“... Aren't you?" Zhu Yuanfang shook his head with a wry smile, "Your past, can you face it without fear?"

"Maybe not before, but now it can. ”

Dio raised his gun, pointed it at his head, and looked at Zhu Yuanfang fearlessly.

"I pull the trigger five times, and I don't get the only bullet to blow my head in the head, what do you think? I think I'm lucky, but it doesn't matter if I'm lucky or not, if I want to, I can carve out the path I want. And you, because you can't overcome your fears, think that everyone can't, that everyone should be like you, and that there should be a limit to arrogance!"

"What are you going to do?" Yuru tugged at the hem of Dior's clothes in a panic.

"Don't do such stupid things, Dio Connor. Zhu Yuanfang's deep voice was almost full of anger.

"I refuse, and one of my favorite things about Dio Connor is to say 'no' to people who think they are good. ”

The girl did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
