Chapter 22: The Far East
Zhou Gongzi slowly unlocked the cockpit door, and the LCL Divine Sense Connection firing pin behind his neck was quickly retracted, and the strong smell of blood that had been permeating his nasal cavity faded a lot for a while. The front chest deck of the mech opened slightly, the metal mask flipped up, and the cockpit was finally exposed to the air.
Climbing out of the cockpit with difficulty, Zhou Gongzi sat on the shoulder of the mecha panting. He stretched out his slender fingers and gently rubbed the words engraved on the armor plate on the shoulder of the mecha - Immortal Black Gold, indestructible black gold. The unique metallic texture made him relax, and there was a warmth in the cold, and this steel creation had always been his most trusted reliance.
Soon, his expression returned to his original silence, and he slowly raised his head to look at the two steam mechs that he had pressed into the wall, and the red blood flowed down the copper bars side by side on the metal mask, extending to the iron hand of the immortal black gold, which was even darker because it was stained with the blood of the two invaders.
The pilots of the two steam mechs were killed by a steam burst of headshots, and the steam repeater that shot them was still emitting snow-white smoke and was held in the hands of a girl with short pink hair.
"You two killed you?" Zhou Gongzi looked curiously at the two young men standing behind him. The blond-haired young man didn't say a word from beginning to end, but Zhou Gongzi could still feel an inexplicable coercion from him, and that pressure made him dare not look directly into the young man's eyes.
"It's the power of witchcraft, magic!" Rita threw the steam repeater in her hand back to the ground, and looked at Zhou Gongzi who was sitting on the shoulder of the mecha with her waist in her waist, "I'm Rita Snoff, a clerk at the Snoff Machinery Repair Shop, and I'm honored to know you, Zhou Gongzi." ”
"Heh, it seems that I'm still a little famous." Zhou Gongzi smiled, but he still had that unruly expression on his face, he propped one hand on his bent knee and sat on the shoulders of the immortal black gold, like a king sitting on a throne intertwined with black and gold.
"But the two of them are dead, and it's hard to find out who they are." Zhou Gongzi swept the two invading steam mechs with his eyes, these two steam mechs were handled very carefully, leaving no traces at all, and like those dead intruders, they couldn't find out the history at all, and they couldn't know who was behind the scenes.
"It's the Orton chaebol." The blonde boy, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
"Oh? How do you know? Witchcraft? Zhou Gongzi smiled and tilted his head to look at him.
"I've seen the dreams of three people in total, they are related to the Orton chaebol, and they should be here for the planetary mecha." Komette said lightly.
"Planetary mechs? How is it possible, they directly pretend to be the rich of ordinary forces, and just take pictures of a planetary mecha. Rita pouted in disagreement, and after saying that, she added: "Anyway, the Orton chaebol is not short of money. ”
"Their target is not a planetary mech, it's it." Zhou Gongzi said, patting the immortal black gold under him, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Mr. Z's secrets are all in this mecha, and it can't fall into the hands of those big chaebols." Zhou Gongzi supported it with one hand and flipped it off the indestructible black gold. Then he looked into Rita and Corgate's eyes and asked, "What about Miss Nan?" ”
"She's fine, she's just fainted, and she's lying in the warehouse now." Rita said with a wink.
"That's good, thank you very much." Zhou Gongzi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked in the direction of the warehouse.
"Her name is Gong Nan, right?" As soon as Zhou Gongzi took two steps out, he heard a calm voice behind him, he froze instantly, turned his head suddenly, and looked at the blonde boy in a daze. Only then did he realize that the boy had only one eye, his left eye was hidden under a black blindfold, and his right eye was shining with a dark red light, which made people shudder.
"I saw it in her dreams, I'm sorry, I know it was something painful." Komette said slowly, his voice a little hoarse.
"What's your name?" Zhou Gongzi's expression was stiff, and he was stunned like a statue.
"Komat." The blonde boy replied.
"Corgate Artio?" Zhou Gongzi's eyes suddenly lit up.
This time it was Cordant's turn to be stunned, the reason why he didn't tell the other party his surname was because he didn't want to reveal his identity as a prince in the old era, but he didn't expect the other party to say everything about him in just a second. Koment had a feeling that he had been subjected to a witch song, and his heart was nakedly displayed in front of Zhou Gongzi.
"You're the only descendant of Her Majesty Tess Artio, aren't you?" Zhou Gongzi said, took a step forward, and looked down at Koment, who was slightly shorter than himself.
"Yes." Coment was a little surprised that the other party would ask such a question. As the last prince of the old era, he had the blood of the Atio family in his veins, and in the old days, he was proud of his bloodline, until that night, everything was ruined.
"You know...... Boundary-Breaker? Zhou Gongzi was silent for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
"Boundary-Breaker?" Komette shook his head softly as he read the obscure word, which he had never heard before, neither from the mouth of his mother, His Majesty Daria, nor from the classroom at the Wang Li Mechanical Academy.
"Haha, it's nothing, it's all gone, even if you know, it's useless! It's been six years! They're all dead......" Zhou Gongzi suddenly laughed, his voice became smaller and smaller, more and more hoarse, and he even choked a little at the end, like something was stuck in his throat.
Looking at the strange mood swings of the man in front of him, Komette had an urge to take off his blindfold and use Wu Song to spy on his inner world, but he quickly restrained this impulse, he looked into Zhou Gongzi's eyes and saw something gray and painful, he was afraid to see something as heart-rending in his dream as Miss Nan's dream.
Wu Song can peer into other people's nightmares, but the user is ultimately involved, and the user will tremble with him in the nightmare before the dreamer wakes up, and the fear and cold send chills down Coment's spine.
The cloud of steam finally dispersed, and the entrance to the black cavern appeared at the end of the display stand, where a pale woman stood, her face covered with tears, like scars, that made her and those who saw her feel a dull pain in her chest.
"Thorough! Careful! Help me! Help me! I don't want to die! Don't want to die! Miss Nan cried out in tears, and she fell to her knees, her knees sinking into a pool of blood, red blood soaking her straight legs.
"Gong Nan, don't be afraid, even if they all die, you and I will continue to live." Zhou Gongzi said, rushed over and helped her up.
Miss Nan lay on Zhou Gongzi's shoulder and wept, new tears washing her poor cheeks.
"Don't be afraid, although it's been nine years, there is still a long way to go."
