Chapter 59: Self-Knowledge

"Quick!"

"Faster!"

"Can't you be faster?"

Charles sat in the cab, urging constantly. He must now have to race against time.

The man Charles was going to meet today was one of the people in charge of inciting propaganda within the organization. Although he did not know the true identity of the Charles, he certainly knew the location of the organization's underground propaganda dens and printing outlets, and if he was not tortured after he was caught, which was almost certain, just for a short time, then the den would be doomed.

Not only is the den finished, but if the people inside are caught again, God knows how many people will be pulled out!

The sudden crisis made his heart a little tight.

They must be transferred before they are dealt with by the Government.

Time is of the essence, and Charbi has felt the meaning of this phrase painfully at any time before. Previously, for the sake of safety, Charles had deliberately set the meeting place in the 11th arrondissement, and now, he deeply regretted this decision.

"Is it okay to go faster? I'm really in a hurry! Feeling that the carriage was still not fast enough, Charles couldn't help but urge loudly again.

The coachman finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Sir, I'm just a carriage, not an Arab flying carpet! I've been following your orders and have been picking things up! The driver's tone was full of complaints. What if I get it again, what if I hurt the horse? Besides, what if you hit someone? It's daytime and there are so many people on the road! ”

Charles took out a handful of gold coins directly from his pocket, and put them directly into Mite's pocket in the galloping carriage, regardless of the danger. "Is this enough? If that's not enough, I've got it here! ”

Sure enough, in this day and age, there is no more concern than the worship of money.

After feeling the weight in his pocket, "Howler! The coachman shouted, and then lashed at the two horses.

The poor horse could only scream a few times, and then accelerated and galloped into a violent wind. Someone seemed to be yelling and scolding from behind, but neither of them pretended to hear it.

Finally, after crossing almost the entire city of Paris, the carriage came to the 15th arrondissement, and Charles stopped it. Then he took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket and handed them directly to the other party, "This is all for you!" ”

He said to the coachman, "Sir, you will call me in the future!" Guaranteed to be faster than anyone else! The shouts fell deaf ears, and he quickly flashed into an alley.

After walking through the alley for more than ten minutes, he came to the door of a small tabloid office.

The entrance of this newspaper office looks bleak and dilapidated, and at first glance it looks like a small newspaper that is not well run and does not know when it will close.

He ignored it and kicked the door open.

The loud noise alarmed almost everyone inside, and then several hostile eyes were fixed on him.

"Who are you? What are you here for? A man asked coldly.

"Call your boss to see me, I have something important to explain! It's urgent! Charles didn't bother to talk to him, and shouted directly. Then he shouted a silent "Long live the Emperor!" with his mouth. ”

The questioner stared at him closely, then looked out the window and saw that no one was following.

He asked the others to look at Charles, and then walked up the stairs himself upstairs.

A moment later, Charles heard a question.

"Who's coming?"

A middle-aged man with a sallow face and a waistcoat walked down the stairs slowly, he was Serleon, the head of the Parisian propaganda organ within the organization, who secretly operated the printing and propaganda machines under the guise of running a small newspaper, and Charles and he had met several times in previous secret meetings and knew each other.

"It's me." Charles replied calmly.

After seeing the comer clearly, Serreon's eyes widened.

He was surprised, because under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible for this person to appear here directly.

"......" The man had just pronounced a note when he noticed that something was wrong, and then changed the word, "Sir, what are you doing here?" ”

"Bad things, big bad things." Charles replied with a wry smile, "The person who was scheduled to connect with me today has been arrested, and it looks like there is more than one person arrested...... The police did a big operation this time, and I managed to get out with great difficulty. ”

As he spoke, Seleon's face grew paler.

"Oh God! My God! He couldn't help but sigh. That's my right-hand man! ”

"It's also possible that someone wants your life." Charles added gloomily. "If he finds you soon after with a group of cops."

After all, it was an old member, and after being shocked by the initial blow, Serreon quickly recovered and cheered up.

"We need to get out as soon as possible."

"It's clearly so." Charles nodded, "Hurry up and pack your things." ”

Serreon turned to look at the others who were still stunned.

"What are you doing here? Pack your things and get ready to run! ”

"Don't bring too many things, or it will be too troublesome to get out of the city later." Charles adds, "It's enough to bring a little bit of something important. ”

"Did you hear that? Do as this gentleman says! Sereon shouted again.

Then he said to Charles, "Wait a minute, I'll go pack my things." Then he walked back up the stairs to the second floor.

"And what about these machines?" A person next to him asked.

"There will always be a machine at any time, as long as you get out." Charles replied.

After waiting for a few minutes, Serreon walked back down. "I've got it packed!"

Then, the others replied that they had already cleaned up. At such a moment, of course, no one would be stupid enough to pick up a whole bunch of cumbersome stuff.

"Haode, let's go!" Serreon let out a sigh of relief. "Remember that everyone will go their separate ways then!"

Then they whispered to the time and place of the meeting and the way to connect.

"But there are still a lot of documents and leaflets here......" said Serreon, who suddenly hesitated, "what about these?" ”

"Burn it, you can't give them a word." Charles replied.

"But......," Serreon still hesitated, "it's summer, the temperature is very high, it's dry, and we have a lot of dwellings in this area, and the fire prevention facilities are very poor...... If we set fire like this, I'm afraid it will spread......"

Silent.

There was silence.

He knew the answer, he just wanted to pass the buck and let me make the decision that had to be made.

But I can't shirk it any longer.

"Just set it on fire, don't worry about it." Charles's expression didn't change in the slightest. "When we waited and ran out, we tried to shout 'it's on fire' to warn the surrounding area, and we should ...... It should be ......," he hesitated, "there shouldn't be any casualties." ”

Everyone knows that this is impossible, there will definitely be casualties, but sometimes people always like something to deceive themselves.

"Is that really the only way to go?" Although SerΓ©on looked questioning, it was actually a tone of confirmation, with a hint of rejoicing in shirking responsibility. "Well, listen to you, there's no way around it."

"Okay, then we don't have to waste time." Charles's voice was still very calm. "Let's do it now."

Documents and leaflets were piled up as much as they could, and then they were poured with oil everywhere.

"Let's go!" Sereon shouted, then left without looking back, and the crowd rushed out.

The flames burst out, then burned bigger and bigger, and Zuihou became a monster that engulfed the entire house.

"There's a fire!" "There's a fire!" The group shouted as they walked. The pace did not slow down as the fire spread, and he no longer cared whether his warnings were timely or whether he could get enough attention.

It's better than nothing to comfort yourself.

Everyone ran to the mouth of an alley, and this is where they are scattered.

"Good luck, Mr. Treville!" Serreon saluted, "Xiexie, your timely report saved my life. ”

"I should have done it, no thanks." Charles's tone remained steady.

"So, I'll leave Paris first, take care." Seleon blessed very respectfully, and in addition to gratitude, there was a little bit of ...... in his eyes Fear.

Yes, because I casually burn people without blinking an eye, so he is afraid of me, and because he is afraid, he respects me, and respect is most easily derived from fear.

If I let him know that I am more scared and chaotic than he is now, I am afraid that this fear and respect will disappear immediately, right? So I can only calm down.

Charles said calmly.

"Take care, Mr. Seleon, zaijian."

The two men left along different alleys.

Along the way, people everywhere exclaimed, "It's on fire!" ”

There were those who fled, there were those who tried to rescue their property or children from their homes, and there was chaos. They are not enemies, they are innocents.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He thought in his heart.

There seemed to be a voice in him.

There's no need to quibble, don't daoqian, do you really apologize? If you had to do it again, you'd do it again! You're a villain! Do you think Daoqian can make your sins less than half a point? No kidding, scoundrel!

Yes, I am a villain, I made this decision of my own volition, and I still do not regret it. I don't quibble for myself, I'll be a villain in the future. I am a villain who disguises his evil deeds and evil desires in the name of haode's ideals.

Ignoring the firelight and the chaotic crowd around him, the young man walked forward with a determined step, and he did not look back at the devastation he had caused. Maybe it's because you don't dare, maybe it's because you don't want to, maybe it's because you can't.

=================================

By the time Charles returned home, it was already night.

Fran was startled when she saw her brother's pale face and embarrassed dress, "Brother, what's wrong with you!" Something is wrong! ”

"Nothing." Charles barely managed to squeeze out a smile, but his tone was full of exhaustion.

"What's nothing? Look at the way you look now! Fran walked up, "What the hell is going on!" ”

However, she received no answer, only a hug. "Fran, let my brother hug me."

Fran's eyes widened, and she let her brother embrace her.

After a long time, Charles still didn't speak, just kept hugging his sister.

"Those who don't love anyone in their hearts and don't believe in anyone can only become bloodthirsty scum", his ears echoed what his grandfather had said before.

Yes, I'm a villain, but I also have a sister, so I can't be a scum yet, I have to take care of her.

Fran quietly felt her brother's hug, and then, she slowly reached out and stroked his hair. Faintly, tears gathered in her eyes, but unfortunately her brother couldn't see them.

Is it up to you to take care of everything?
