19. Copy – Red
The long-standing figure suddenly fell.
Yuri grabbed the man's thin body, and his black eyes, hidden under half a strand of broken hair, reflected the blue sea.
Dino had never seen his movements clearly, and he did not know how the other party had brought down Penglie I, who was known as the strongest leader of all generations.
Perhaps it was because I. Shi was not defensive against his trusted friends, or perhaps because this Oriental named Yuli did have some strange tricks, Dino did not draw conclusions lightly, and only followed the two in silence, watching this history that did not know whether it was true or false.
Suddenly, Yuri turned his head, as if aware, in the direction of Dino.
Dino's heart skipped a beat, and before any conjectures could arise, Yuri turned his head back and carried the unconscious blonde young man all the way into the cabin on the first floor.
Is it a coincidence? That glance just now......
Dino couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows, a little unsure of how he felt a moment ago.
Maybe it's really a delusion...... After all, it's ridiculous to look at an image in a dream or something.
Gathering his mind, Dino took two quick steps, but out of nowhere, a gust of wind suddenly blew, blowing the qiē in front of him, crumbling it finely, and recomposing another picture.
The three-masted ship docked in a rudimentary harbor, its heavy anchor thrown into the sea with a dull falling sound.
At the bow of the boat, a blonde young man stood upright, looking at the shore in front of him, with an uncertain expression.
This face Dino is naturally not unfamiliar, it is obvious that he has seen Penglie I many times, but what makes Dino a little puzzled is that this time Penglie I seems to be a little different from the previous times, not the appearance and demeanor, but some places that even Dino can't say.
The fierce sea breeze stirred up the canvas, and also made the mantle of the I. world raise a huge arc.
As if upset by the wind, Penglie I. frowned, and grabbed the tie at the neckline of the cloak with his five fingers, trying to untie the cloak. But this action was intercepted halfway, as if he had suddenly thought about something, and had to give up the plan to untie his cloak.
Dino noticed that although Penglie I. Shi's face was a little bad, his complexion was quite good, and he did not look at all like a person who had not recovered from a serious injury.
Could it be that the timeline of this space has jumped forward for months, even years?
Dino couldn't help but raise his head and look in the direction of the mast, on the square inch of the platform, the fracture of a mast was clearly visible, and it still retained the traces of Yuri's broken and rough repair, even the rope that bound it was as clean as new, it really didn't look like it had been a long time.
A man who begs for a living at sea will not let his ship go on without repairing it, which is an act of surrendering himself to death.
But it is not long since the scene just now, and there is no way to explain the unabnormal state of I. Shi, even if I. Shi is the top powerhouse of that era, and his ability to recover is much stronger than ordinary people, it is impossible to recover from the state of poisoning and serious injury in just a few days.
Dino carefully noticed these two inconspicuous contradictions, and an inspiration flashed to his mind, replaying the previous conversation between Yuri and I. Shi.
"I don't agree with it. You are my companion, my best friend, my comrade-in-arms, not a stand-in. And I, Giotto Vongola, never needed anyone to take risks for me."
"But it's the way to minimize the risk. If what they see is a leader of Penglie intact and in his prime condition......
Dino gasped.
Now this ...... I. Shi, is it, that Yuli?
However, all important leaders will have a "stand-in" to take risks for them or to stabilize people's hearts, but generally the stand-ins are served by people who look similar to the leader...... If his guess is not wrong, and this "I. World" is really that Yuri, then how did he do it? His true appearance bears no resemblance to Pengley's I. life, and his height is also a cut shorter than that of I. Life, so how can he show the face of I. Life exactly like he does now?
Could it be that this Yuri is a ...... Illusionist?
Dino thought uncertainly, and took two steps closer, trying to hear the blonde young man's conversation with the people around him.
"Coming?"
"Yes, boss. That carriage was engraved with the coat of arms of Governor Robert. ”
"Sure enough, I came prepared," the blonde young man's lips curled into a sneer, but his voice was low and calm, "I got the news of 'my' injury so quickly, so I came impatiently to find out the truth." ”
"BOSS, do you want them to come up?"
"Of course. Guests from afar...... Let's not be lazy. ”
Hearing this, the subordinates saluted and went to the side of the ship to board the ship with the sailors.
The blonde young man who was still standing at the bow of the boat restrained his calm expression slightly, frowned slightly, and put his index finger half-bent on the edge of the bow tie, as if he was very uncomfortable with the restraint on his neck.
This is the second time that the blonde youth has made this move, and the reappearance of the scene made Dino more intuitively realize that this "Penglie I. World" is indeed not himself.
After all, in the previous scene, there had never been such an action in the world, and the one who liked loose clothes and several buttons open at the collar of his shirt happened to be Yuri.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in a standard gentleman's outfit with a thick beard stepped onto the boat, his eyes resembling eagles, but his eyes were thick and restrained, and he did not give people the feeling of aggressiveness.
But this is by no means a kind man, and the sailors who approached him are all captured by his majestic aura, as if a boulder has been pressed on their hearts, and they are so depressed that they can't breathe.
"Penglie I." stood at the bow of the ship, looking condescendingly at the middle-aged man who was ushered into the cabin by the crew.
It wasn't until the other party's figure disappeared that he jumped down from that high place and entered the cabin from the other direction.
Dino followed "Penglie I." and followed him into a clean and tidy room.
Due to the difference in the speed of time, although Dino and "Penglie I." were only separated by the front and back feet, when Dino entered the room, "Penglie I." and the middle-aged man had already ended a not very good conversation.
At this moment, the atmosphere between them can be called saber-rattling.
The blonde young man suddenly put away the determination in his eyes, changed to a lazy sitting position, and put his clean and slender fingers on the corner of the wooden table at will, tapping gently.
"I heard that Governor Robert likes to drink cat poop coffee, so I specially asked someone to find three grams of cat poop, stirred it into this cup of coffee, and asked Mr. Governor to appreciate his face."
With that, he gently pushed over a ceramic cup, the brown liquid in which swayed from side to side under the action of the boat and the waves, leaving a dark stain on the rim of the cup.
The middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, and the guards behind him lowered their heads, only the red-haired man beside the blond young man had a subtle expression and twitched the corner of his eye.
The peculiar red tattoo on the red-haired man's face quickly made Dino recognize him.
Penglie I. Arashi Mamoru of the world, G (Galting).
At this time, Dino's expression was as subtle as G's.
Cat poop coffee or something...... Why is this stalk again?
Thinking of a heartbreaking little clansman in his family, Dino began to worry again.
Governor Robert, who sat on the bench, remained unmoved: "I have never heard of Giotto Vongola, the hero who single-handedly founded Pengle, such a narrow man. ”
The blonde youth sneered lightly: "I have never heard of Governor Robert, known as the 'Father of Iron Blood', a cold-blooded creature who will not compromise on any means and collude with the 'sea maniacs' to kill the innocent. ”
Robert stared gloomily at "I. Shi" for a moment, and suddenly, without warning, got up.
The moment he stood up and raised his cane, "I. Shi" also got up at the same time.
Robert's cane pointed across a table to "I. Shi", and "I. Shi", also holding a fountain pen, was facing the door of Robert's head.
This picture looks a little unreasonable, but neither Robert nor "I." Shi relaxed.
Because in the hands of two people, what they hold is a snatch.
A genuine firearm disguised as a cane/pen case.
