Chapter 52: Questions and Answers
"Give up resistance! You're already surrounded! Honestly, being tied up is your only way out! ”
Surrounded by Wren, more than a dozen muskets were aimed at the criminals in the center.
The sailors were nervous and did not have the slightest confidence because of the numerical superiority.
"Well, don't rush to do it yet."
Wren was strained by the scorching heat of the country, and the overly warm country always made him drowsy compared to the freezing cold glaciers that could freeze to death.
"Don't move! Didn't you hear?! ”
"Squatting on the ground with your head in your hands! If you mess around again, you'll shoot! ”
Ignoring the annoying creatures amid the shouts of the sailors, Wren walked to the empty shop and pulled out a keg.
As a result, the shouting was earth-shattering, and not a single sailor actually fired.
Sitting cross-legged on the street, Wren lifted the lid of the barrel and brought it to his lips to take a sip.
"It's unpleasant...... Moreover, it was actually a warm ......."
The drink that was supposed to quench his thirst was something like this, and with a sigh, Wren looked at the sailors who were standing in front of him face to face.
"Do you want to drink?"
"Shut up! Pirate! Hurry up and get caught! ”
"Really, don't refuse someone's kindness. And you guys' lines can't be changed, just a few words that come and go, aren't they boring?. ”
"Shut up! Pirate! Hurry up ......"
"Yes, yes, really."
A bored Wren waved his hand, picked up the barrel and took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and then glanced at the nervous group of sailors.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of running away. Also, with my physical condition, I am not suitable for long distances, and I can't ride a horse or anything like that, so rest assured. ”
Peace? What's the heart?
Even if it is a navy, it takes a certain amount of time to dispatch troops, and this wave of no more than 50 sailors is only sent to delay time, to put it mildly, they are sent to die.
The second lieutenant of the Navy did not say the same lines again, but stared at Wren's every move more nervously, his task was to keep Wren here even if he used his life. For the sailors of this era, this kind of mission to the death will really be carried out. No one would be willing to die in peacetime or troubled times, but from the first day they joined the navy, they were ready to exchange their lives for innocent civilians from the first day they entered the barracks.
There is nothing more gratifying than the fact that one's own death in wartime can be exchanged for the lives of one or more innocent people. They were originally lost dogs who were trampled by pirates, and they were taken in by the navy, with no promotion or honor in their minds, only a heart to die.
The cunning snake pirate patted his chest and told you that he would never run? Who would believe this kind of nonsense?
"Believe me, really, what would the world be like if the most basic trust between people was gone, even if the navy was gone?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Wren really didn't plan to escape.
First of all, he doesn't have the word "escape" in his dictionary, and besides, he can't run, let alone want to run. After all, it is necessary to fight, for him, it makes no difference between fifty or thousands of people, and it will save a lot of trouble when everyone arrives and solves it at one time.
Although these sailors are ready to stop the dangerous elements in front of them with the consciousness of death, it is really a very strange feeling when a pirate who has been rewarded with 200 million yuan, a vicious criminal, tells you that he trusts you seriously.
More and more sailors are pouring into the small city, but the small city can't fight with so many people, especially when it comes to encircling and suppressing monsters like Rennes, it's a completely restrained situation.
The leisurely Wren drank the unpleasant drink, and there was still a long time before the sailors arrived, as if to pass the time, he said to the highest-ranking major in a good manner.
"Actually, I don't want to do anything with you if I can. It's not fun to call around all day...... Ah, don't be so nervous, seriously, you see, if you talk to me calmly, your task of delaying time has been accomplished, and you don't have to sacrifice the lives of your subordinates, how good is it? ”
The bearded ensign was actually quite young, but even if he was, he had nothing to say to a hateful pirate.
"Ah, Brother Bing, did you know that human blood is actually very difficult to wash away. Every time I wash my hands, there is nothing dirty, but there is always a sticky feeling that cannot be washed off, like the guys I have killed in the past, and their grievances haunt me. ”
The casual talk of understatement made the surrounding sailors feel more and more tormented, how many people must be killed to have this illusion?
The second lieutenant's face was extremely ugly, and if it weren't for the heavy responsibility of delaying time, he couldn't help but slash at the criminal who had done a lot of evil. It is precisely because there are such guys in this world that countless ordinary people will suffer.
Seeing that no one accosted him, Wren, who was talking to himself, drank the rest of the drink in one gulp even more boringly, and the young lieutenant immediately realized that if he didn't do something more, this guy who had polished his patience might run away!
He took a deep breath, put the standard saber back into its sheath, and sat down face to face in front of Wren under the bewildered and nervous gazes of his subordinates, and he spoke in a deep voice.
“…… Why did a guy like you, who has surpassed the common sense of ordinary people, choose to be a pirate, if you have that ability, what can't you do, and you have to use this skill on those innocent ordinary people? ”
"Ah, I also have all kinds of difficulties...... No, you can't say that. If you were adopted by the evil party since you were a child, do you want to be a navy soldier when you grow up? Impossible, right? ”
"So what do you think of yourself? is no longer an ignorant child, what about his own judgment? ”
"It's so boring, why do you say like the Navy and the World Government will let me go. What about you? Abandoned by his boss as cannon fodder to delay time, and to complete impossible tasks and take a small life, is there really no hatred in his heart? ”
“……”
The young lieutenant did not answer such frivolous questions, what others thought he was not interested in knowing, only for himself...... If the soldier is afraid of death in the face of the thief, then what else do the soldiers do? Perhaps the other sailors have their own unique values, but for the Major, he is just doing his job, just like a merchant sells goods, a farmer wants to farm, a man loves a woman, a pirate wants to burn and plunder, and as a navy, he has to do what he takes for granted.
As if asking a prisoner, the second lieutenant asked again.
"What is the purpose of your coming to this country?"
Originally, I had nothing to say, but I was unexpectedly replied.
"Well, this one, replenish supplies, record pointers. Then, if nothing else, I continued sailing, and I really didn't have a good feeling for the hot country. ”
The surprisingly bland reply that there was no conspiracy lurking, and for some reason, the second lieutenant knew that the man was not lying.
"Do you still have accomplices?"
"Yes."
"Oh?"
"There's no problem writing it down, but you can get a lot of credit as intelligence, right?"
The second lieutenant nodded, took out a notepad from his bosom in a serious manner, and made a few simple notes.
"Where is your accomplice now, and who is it?"
"I can't say this, if you wolf dogs all over the world know their identity, how will the little girl marry in the future?"
"Really...... So to put it another way, do you think you'll make it out of this country alive? ”
"Well, I'm not going to lose. For example, if the strength of a naval soldier like yours is [one], I will probably be [20,000], and I don't know your strength, so you can calculate it yourself based on this benchmark. ”
Although the enemy's words could not be fully believed, the second lieutenant's heart sank involuntarily. The strange scene of one question and one answer overwhelmed the other sailors, but they sincerely thought that the more powerful guys in this world must be weird.
"Do you have any special abilities?"
"Steerable shockwaves."
"What's the most powerful ability?"
"Steerable shockwaves."
"Where's the hole cards?"
"Steerable shockwaves."
“…… Are you the Shockwave Man who ate the Shockwave Fruit? ”
"It's a pity, if there is that kind of fruit, I want to eat it~"
"Do you have a good weapon?"
"I want to see it...... Knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, hairpins, whips, maces, hammers, grasps, borings, sticks, lances, sticks, crutches, shooting stars. What with a point, with a ring, with a chain, with a thorn, with a needle, thrown out, strangled. I'm proficient in everything~"
“…… Are you kidding me? ”
"No~ I mean really."
The time for such questions and answers passed quickly, and estimating the time, Wren raised his head and glanced at the sailors around him, and said as if he were kindly reminded.
"It's almost time, it's time for the main forces to come, right? You've successfully completed your mission, so I'll leave it to them, and I won't do anything to you if you leave now. ”
The young ensign shook his head, and none of the sailors around him were willing to retreat.
"Oh, really...... So, I don't like you sailors. If the pirates kill the leader, the rest will disperse, but you are not dying, you are really troublesome guys. ”
The question-and-answer as if it were a joke was meticulously recorded by the second lieutenant on a notepad, and he didn't know whether it was worthless or an extremely valuable information book when he closed it. The second lieutenant let out a breath and asked one last serious question.
"Are you so sure I'm not going to survive to tell me so many things?"
"No, how could it be, anything can happen, I'm just ......"
Standing up from the ground, Wren patted the dust off his pants and chuckled.
"Just pass the time."
