Chapter 9: Dior's Gift
Because there is no map, Yu Tatsumi and Yue can only wander around the underground of the Karumon Arms Chamber of Commerce like flies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to guard against foreign enemies, the construction of the underground passage of the Karumon Consortium is complicated, and it is almost like a small Crossbell underground passage.
If an enemy really attacks this place without a long eye, they probably won't be able to find a way. That is, the people of the Karumen consortium can be familiar with the terrain here.
After leaving the exaggerated mansion of Mussell and the little witch, I went around several times, and finally found a place that resembled a cadre's room.
That is, the Karumon Consortium went to the Orchid Tower to guard, and the internal defense dropped by several grades, otherwise even You Heyue would have been caught.
However, if it weren't for the fact that the Karumon Consortium was guarding the Orchid Tower, Yu would not have come to explore this dangerous place...... In this case, should we be grateful?
"Please come in."
Obviously, the two of them hadn't made a sound yet, and they were thinking about how to sneak a peek at the internal structure without being discovered, however, the owner of the house had already invited the two of them first.
The two glanced at each other, and they both read the look in each other's eyes that did not enter the tiger's den.
Open the door and it is a very simple room.
The room is a little similar to the Special Mission Support Section, but it is small, but it is warm.
It's very well lit, although it's all artificial.
Wardrobe, bed, desk, and a pot of green potted plants, that's all this room has to offer.
The owner of the room was sitting at his desk, having just closed the book he was reading.
He had long, brown hair that was soft on his ears. His eyes were bright and full of wisdom, and one couldn't help but believe that he was a serious man with common sense.
The bodyguard of the Carumon consortium and a member of the Scarlet Scorpio, Dio.
"Yo, Youjun, Miss Yue, we're meeting again."
He smiled and called out You's identity.
Because the attitude is so natural, You almost didn't react to the problem.
Why?!
Even someone as discerning as Grace didn't find out that he was You Chensi, why could he find out at once?
Qi Ya found out because she was the Holy Son of the Order, although she really wanted to regard this as religious nonsense, but considering that there were a series of mutations in True Knowledge, it was really impossible to treat the Order as an ordinary religious organization.
Could it be ......
Does Dio also have anything to do with the Order? No, no, there are too few places where Dior's actions and the Order intersect to give him an impression...... Otherwise, it may affect the judgment in the future.
"What's the matter, feel free to sit, sorry, the place is small. But you don't want to go to the parlor, do you? ”
Dior smiled warmly, without hostility.
As Christian Dior said, his room was small, a space for one person to rest. As a last resort, You Heyue sat on the bed.
"Looks like you're not hostile to us, Dior."
Although You was most curious about why he knew his identity, after thinking about it carefully, You decided to give up asking this question.
First, if you ask, the other party may not tell the truth.
Second, if you don't ask, the other party has to worry about whether you really didn't notice, or if you did, but you have a ghost.
In contrast to the two, it is better for oneself not to ask questions.
"Of course. I didn't have a reason to oppose you from the beginning. I'm just following Lancet for my own purposes. ”
"So, Dio, since you say so, if it doesn't involve confidentiality, can you talk to me a little bit?"
You goes straight to the point, and in the face of a smart person like Dior, setting a trap is far less useful than getting straight to the point.
"Okay. What do you want to know? As long as I can say it. ”
Dior's boldness is also beyond the expectations of the tour.
This person is not so much a member of the Karuman consortium as a spy within the Karuman consortium......
Isn't that really? But that would not explain the relationship between Dio and Lancet. Could it be that Lancet is also a spy?
"Well, the first question is...... Why are you willing to tell us? Did Rinster ask you to give us information? ”
"Of course not. He hardly interferes with my actions. I want to tell you because, firstly, there is no one who restricts me from speaking, and secondly, I personally want to help you as much as possible. ”
"Why?"
You doesn't believe in anything good for no reason, Dior will help everyone, there must be his own reasons.
Maybe he noticed it, Dio smiled bitterly, knowing that if he didn't explain it to him, probably You wouldn't believe him.
"I'm because ...... Yes, I see my own shadow in you. ”
“?”
Yu's face was confused with a capital letter.
"Let me tell you a little bit. It can be a bit long, though. If you don't want to listen, just interrupt me at any time. ”
Dior looked up at the guiding light, reminiscing about his past.
"Like you, I believed in the golden stone of sincerity, and worked hard to overcome the boundless obstacles, and the result was that the people I loved deeply, the seniors I respected, and the companions I was proud of, all died in our wishful thinking. I see in you the shadow of who I used to be, and there is always a feeling that I can't help you if I don't help you. I hope that by helping you, I can be relieved of my self-blame a little. ”
Dior's tone was full of bitterness and the pain of memories.
You can hear how uncomfortable Dior endured back then.
Yes, United sounds good and inspiring, but understand that it's like winning the jackpot in the lottery. You can only remember the winner.
You can know who won the jackpot when, but you can't name everyone who didn't win. Everyone can cite teams that work together to overcome difficulties, but many more teams are swallowed up by great difficulties.
This is the harsh reality.
Dior was just a pioneer.
You can also understand his feelings, but understanding is understanding......
"It's not long, is it?!"
He still asked very scenicly.
That's all there is to Dior's description. Hearing his rebuttal, Dio smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, it's really not long at all." I'm exaggerating. Anyway, I hope to make myself feel better by helping you. ”
"Then, you'll follow Lancet, is it ......?"
"Well, that's right. We were just routed by Lancer. It's hard to imagine that to me, he is an enemy of the world...... But...... Hawkers, forget it, there are a lot of things that can't be explained simply by good and evil and likes and dislikes, in short, now I'm his helper. You're not here to ask about such boring content, are you? ”
Dio smiled and threw the topic to Yutatsumi. Audibly, he wanted to change the subject.
"Well, how much do you know about the plans of the association."
"If you're talking about Project Phantom Flame, I know everything. But I can't say. ”
Dior smiled calmly, and his indifferent confidence bloomed on his face, making him look two more mature flavors.
Still, he gave You as much information as he could.
It's the phrase "I know it all." Who could have known all about the plans of the association? The Serpent's Apostle is one, the trusted executor is another, and it is barely possible for the supporters of the Society to know......
Dio was reminding himself of his identity.
"My question, just ask here, I guess the next questions can't be said. Dior, where did you learn your whirling stick technique? ”
"Crossbell Police Academy. Now, I think I still have my graduation record here. But you have to know first, what my real name is. ”
You nodded, indicating that she understood.
After thinking about it, there is no problem with swimming for the time being.
Just as he was about to leave, Dio suddenly stopped him.
"Don't go any further. Inside, it's Ranster's room and Arras's room. One of these two places is that you can't get in, and the other is that there is nothing. This is especially true of President Karumen's room, which no one can enter without his own fingerprints. ”
"Understood."
"Also, you can take this. Give it to Lloyd. ”
As he spoke, Dior turned around and went under his bed and pulled out a tightly sealed corrugated cardboard box, which kicked up a small cloud of dust as he moved, showing that he hadn't cleaned under the bed for a while.
Dior coughed as he opened the box, carefully took out a white cloth wrapped in something from inside, and handed it to Yu Tatsumi.
"What is this?"
"You'll know when you hand it over to Lloyd. It's something that's important to him. Because of the coincidence, when it comes to my hands, although I can't give you any information directly, this thing itself is a big hint. ”
"I see, thanks."
"Please, please show me the perseverance and unity of your lords."
“…… I'll convey it. ”
――――――――――
After You Chensi left, Dio smiled bitterly and continued to open the book in his hand.
It was a photo album.
It records Dior's appearance.
In order not to forget them, Dio had to flip through them almost every day, looking at the familiar faces, looking at the serious, confident expressions on everyone's faces, Dior couldn't hold back his tears.
"Everybody......"
He whimpered under his breath, his brows furrowed, his teeth clenched, and blood was bleeding from his gums as he pushed too hard.
"Well, Dior, am I not here by chance?"
Lancet's voice.
I don't know when, he has appeared.
"It's really unfortunate."
"Well, I should have said, don't get too close to the support department. You're actually putting that ......"
"But, Lancet, games are fun because they're evenly matched, right? If they don't know anything about the overall situation, about you and me, about the huge enemy they are about to face, then it becomes a crushing situation, and it's even more boring, right? ”
"That's what I said, well, I really want to see an interesting unfolding!"
Lanster smiled innocently and cheerfully. (To be continued.) )
