Chapter Seventy-Three: The Project and Providence
At 6 p.m., west of Gotham City, Red Flag Farm on the outskirts of the city
Cersie: "(Sees [Dent] coming out of the greenhouse)... Why have you been there for so long?" - eagerly walked over and whispered to [Dent].
Dent: "I talked to [Director Gao] about a "project", and it took a while..."
Cersie: "What is the "project"?"—confused
Dent: "I'll tell you about that later...[Robin]?"
Cersie: "Called to help." ”
Dent: "Called to... Who called you?"
Cersie: "Don't worry, it's definitely from your unit." "—Sure
Dent: "Someone [Robin] knows?"
Cersie: "[Robin] doesn't know anyone, but he knows the car. ”
Dent: "Know the car?"
Cersie: "That man drove [Gordon]'s exclusive car. ”
Dent: "[Director Gao]'s exclusive car... It's a blonde white woman?"
Cersie: "It's a blonde Caucasian woman... Do you know her?"
Dent: "(nods)... Her name is Emma Frost, and she is Director Gao's secretary and driver. ”
Cersie: "Oh, what's your relationship?"
Dent: "Average, ordinary colleague relationships. ”
Cersey: "Really?"
Dent: "Really, don't be suspicious. ”
Cersie: "Say I'm suspicious..."—her gaze drifted meaningfully behind [Dent].
Dent: "(Turning back)..." - Seeing [Emma Frost] (Cuckoo 00001) walking towards him
Cersie: "Did you see it, I took the initiative to find you~"
Dent: "Don't talk nonsense, people are here to talk about business... (to [Cuckoo 00001]) Miss Emma. - Say hello
Cuckoo 00001: "Mr. Deng, I was shocked to learn that [Elder Deng] had passed away, and I was very surprised, and I was relieved to mourn the festival. - No emotional fluctuations, read according to the book (stick reading)
Dent: "Thank you. —Reply
Cuckoo 00001: "(Turns) Ms. [Cersie]..."
Cersie: "Please call me 'Miss'." —interrupted
Cuckoo 00001: "Miss Cersey, I have something to talk to you about. ”
Cersie: "Talk to me?... Don't you talk to him anymore?"
Cuckoo 00001: "There's no need, I've already talked to Mr. Deng about this matter." ”
Cersie: "When did you talk about it?"
Cuckoo 00001: "Just now... (See [Cersie] looked puzzled) [Director Gao] talked to him. - explained
Cersey: "[Gordon] talks to him..." - Looks at [Dent]
Dent: "You..."
Cuckoo 00001: "Yes, that's the 'project' that I'm talking to Miss Cersei. "—Grab the talk
Dent: "You just talked to [Robin]..."
Cuckoo 00001: "It's been talked about, and he agreed." ”
Dent: "Good thing he agreed... You're acting rashly!"
Cuckoo 00001: "We acted rashly?[Robin] has always had a superhero dream in his heart, and he signed a contract with [Hecate] to "save the world and be reborn as a human", and we are very sure that he will join the "project". ”
Dent: "When I say you're acting rashly, I don't mean [Robin]..."—hint
Cersie: "..."—glare
Dent: "..."—Silence
Cuckoo 00001: "If you are worried about Miss [Cersei], you don't have to, [Director Gao] thinks that Miss [Cersei] is not at risk of leaking..."
Cersie: "(nods)..."
Cuckoo 00001: "After all, her life is firmly in the hands of [Hecate] (death), as long as she has the slightest idea of disobedience, [Hecate] will immediately accept her." ”
Cersie: "Huh!?" - surprised
Dent: "It took a lot of time for [Hecate] to take her in last time, can you guarantee that she won't leak the "project"?" - worried
Cersie: "Huh~!?" - stunned
Cuckoo 00001: "Last time, [Hecate] came to Miss [Cersie] to 'collect debts', and the purpose was to take her body for his own use, so it took a long time;
Dent: "Well, that makes sense. - Agreed
Cersie: "What kind of nonsense are you two talking about~!?" - angry
Dent: "Don't shout, Miss Emma will make it clear to you." ”
Cuckoo 00001: "Here's the thing..." - explain, explain
Cersie: "(Listen, to [Dent])...that's what [Gordon] talked to you about?"
Dent: "Yes. ”
Cersey: "You agreed?"
Dent: "Promised." ”
Cersey: "What did you get?"
Dent: "[Director Gao] promised me that he would petition the "Immortals" on my behalf, and that my greatest wish would be fulfilled after the matter was completed. ”
Cersie: "[Gordon] promises you to believe it? Beware of tricking you into working for nothing." ”
Dent: "Not only may I work for nothing, maybe even [Director Gao] himself may lose all his money, be sold, and help count the money." After all, we mortals can't restrain the "immortals", and the "immortals" can be repaid at any time, and the mortal contract has no mandatory and binding force on these "high-level beings". ”
Cersie: "I know you're still..."
Dent: "Then I don't have a choice, the world is ruined, and no one can escape." —interrupted
Cersie: "(Nothing to say)..."
Cuckoo 00001: "Miss [Cersei], have you thought about it?"
Cersey: "You want me to answer now?"
Cuckoo 00001: "Yes, it's not complicated, and Miss [Cersie] is not an indecisive person, so she must have an idea in her heart." ”
Cersei: "I have an idea..." - Glancing at [Dent]
Dent: "..."—nodding slightly
Cersie: "Can't you give me more time?" I want to think about what to offer. "—I want to use a delaying tactic
Cuckoo 00001: "No, you have to answer me immediately, to join or not to join." —pressing
Cersie: "(reluctantly)... I join. ”
Cuckoo 00001: "Okay, keep in mind the choices you made. As for what conditions to mention, you should have a spectrum in mind. —Leaving the words behind, he turned and walked away
Cersie: "(Wait for [Cuckoo 00001] to go away)... Phew, that's the choice. ”
Dent: "Okay, save your life first, then make a living..."
Cersie: "Shut up!" - exasperated
Dent: "I can't shut up, I have to make it clear to you right now (without waiting for [Cersie] to reply)... It is the "providence" of the Supreme Universe to help the "Immortals" regain their strength and "return to the Immortal Class", restore the balance of the universe, and avoid the destruction of the world. No matter who you are and how powerful you are (if you have less ability, you will be fine), if you hinder the realization of Providence, you will surely die..."
Cersie: "Nonsense, you still need to say that!?"
Dent: "It's not nonsense... We must obey the will of Heaven and help the Supreme of the Universe to realize the will of Heaven, but Gordon's project does not belong to the will of Heaven!"
Cersey: "Huh? Isn't [Gordon's] "project" part of "Providence?"
Dent: "[Gordon] That's what they say, but I don't think so. The reason is very simple, we mortals can't restrain the [Universe Supreme], [Gordon] they know very well that they are not "savior saints" like [Robin], and they are not willing to work in vain, they will help [Universe Supreme] to achieve "Heaven's will" while trying their best to reap the benefits from it. ”
Cersie: "If it were me, I would do the same." - Agreed
Dent: "So, we have to join hands and get a piece of the pie from [Gordon] their bowl, instead of snorting and begging for a piece of the pie." ”
