Chapter 21: The Bottom Line
Before the bullets flew out of the chamber, the empress vaguely sensed the presence of Sieg, but before she could be happy to see the domineering stronger, a feeling of facing death came to her. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Every cell in her body was reminding her: get out of the way! She did so without hesitation, and because of the cooperation of the entire body cell, her dodge this time was far beyond her usual speed.
However, this time the bullet was completely different from the first two shots, the fire on the muzzle had not been extinguished, and the bullet had already flown in front of her, and at this time she had just moved a few centimeters to the right!
Horror, despair, anger, unwillingness...... Countless emotions flashed through her eyes, and in a trance, she suddenly felt that time had slowed down, and she could even see the ripples brought by the bullets slowly piercing through the air.
However, even this did not help her to get out of despair, and she could only watch her body flash to the side at a slower speed than an ant......
At this moment, she suddenly saw Sigurt in her peripheral vision, and at this time he stretched out a hand to her with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to grasp something. When she came back to her senses, the bullet that had been flying straight towards her left eye suddenly turned and flew past her ear, only carrying a strand of her hair.
"Boom!" It was only then that the sound of gunshots reached her ears.
The wonderful time slowly receded like a tide, and the empress, who was exhausted, sat down on the ground, shook her slightly dizzy head, and did not choose to continue to hide herself after looking at this shot, but slowly walked towards her Sige.
……
The empress was not mistaken, the bullet was indeed mistaken by Sig.
Before the shooting, Sieg really wanted to kill her directly, although most of the reason was in the inexplicable evil fire, but he was not without his own considerations:
First of all, killing the Empress can directly remove the petrification in Kruger's place, which is the most direct way to solve this problem;
secondly, he thought that it was impossible for the empress, who had already fought several times, to reconcile with him again;
Finally, it is also to fill the hole in the heart.
However, the moment he pulled the trigger, Sig suddenly came to his senses, although these three reasons seem to be very reasonable, but there is one of the most important factors that is covered by that evil fire, that is, the bottom line of being a man!
There are many bottom lines for Sigger, including this one:
When there is another way to solve the problem, and the other party is not a heinous person, it is not just because of personal vendetta to kill people! ’
And in the current situation, is there really no other way to solve it? Definitely not. After all, Sieg clearly remembered that he had never really spoken to the empress at all;
Is the empress a heinous person? Equally not. Based on the information she has obtained, although there are many people who have died at her hands, what she has done has also protected her country, and in the chaotic world of pirates, she should be regarded as a rare righteous person;
Even if you abandon the first two, has the personal grudge with her reached the point of life or death? Still not, as far as the battle just now is concerned, I'm afraid she hates Sieg even more......
Two lives and three worlds, Sieg has always attached great importance to his bottom line as a man, and over the years, he has only violated one thing: 'Never drag a friend into danger because of selfishness.' And it was precisely because of this that he killed three of his friends, and it also made him haunted to this day, and will continue to haunt him.
And the evil fire just now made him break the bottom line again.
No, it's salvageable!
Sig stared at the bullets flying out, released the trigger with his right hand and grabbed in the direction of the bullets, and the telekinesis ability had already gathered towards the flying bullets, Sig wanted to directly disperse the embodied bullets, but found that it was too late, and when the bullets dispersed, I am afraid that they had already passed through the empress's head. I had to do my best to use the operation system that I was not good at, and finally succeeded in barely controlling the bullet when it was about to hit the empress, so that it changed its original direction, and it could fly by the empress's face.
Seeing that the bullet then penetrated several boulders and flew into the distance, Sieg breathed a sigh of relief: thanks to that bullet was the embodiment of his own ability, it was easier to be manipulated by himself, and the operation system that he was not good at was also reluctant to do what he wanted to do because of the overall enhancement of his telekinesis ability.
On second thought, I am afraid that the evil fire is a side effect of the overall enhancement. However, he also guessed that he was afraid that the memory of his becoming stronger had been sealed by himself, maybe because of these side effects.
Shaking his head, Sieg distracted from his sniper rifle, jumped off the branch, and walked slowly towards the empress.
……
The Nine Snake Pirates not far away saw the empress sitting down, and immediately stepped forward to surround her, shushing and asking for warmth while being wary of Sig walking in the distance. It was a bit noisy for a while, until they saw the signs of damage from the third shot.
It was a trail that silenced them, leaving a hole the size of an egg on all the boulders and trees in front of them, and several warriors who stood in front of the empress and looked at Sig vigilantly, heard the sudden silence behind them, and when they looked back, they were also shocked and speechless.
By this time, Sieg had already walked in front of them and stood still, ignoring them, and hurriedly turned back to the female warriors who were facing him with their bows and arrows, and said to the empress, who was sitting on the ground with blood on her face:
"Now, I think we can have a good talk."
Sieg didn't want to kill the empress, but that didn't mean he wouldn't take advantage of this good opportunity to negotiate with her, thinking that the shot just now was enough to deter them, and it was a good time to propose to rescue Kruger.
The empress motioned for her subordinates to help herself up, resumed her condescension to Sigurt, and then waved her hand to let her subordinates stand back, and then said:
"The concubine knows what you want to say, and let go of the person in the cave, right?"
"So......" Sieg was about to smile, but suddenly heard the empress on the other side interrupt:
"Impossible!" If it were someone else, she might have chosen to compromise in the face of Sigurg, who could destroy the island with one blow, but since the person in the cave was a person from the slave trap ship, it was absolutely impossible to let it go!
"The concubine doesn't know why you didn't choose to kill the concubine just now, after all, as long as you do this, your friend will naturally recover, but since the concubine is still alive, then you don't want to threaten the concubine!" As she spoke, the empress raised her chin, bent her waist back, supported her waist with her left hand and pointed at Sig with her right hand, and said in a loud voice:
"The concubine is the queen of the Amazon Lily, the leader of the Nine Snake Pirates, and the current king of the Seven Martial Seas, Boya Hancock, and will never accept anyone's threats!"
"Even death!"
