Volume 5: The Cold-Blooded Princess and the Dark Paradise Chapter 99: The Uninvited Guest
.
"Do you want to have a poetic life here?" Adele tilted her rabbit head and looked at the side of Little Git's face, "Please tell me you're not that boring." β
"Is it boring?"
"What do you say?" Adele sneered, looked at the direction of Manju Sawa and the others who had left as little Git had seen before, and put her hands into her jacket pockets casually, "Earth era, black hole era, star age - do you know how many people in the universe have expressed similar feelings in these countless years, at what time?" But what about the end result? She tilted her head back to look back at little Geet, "The only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that mankind has learned nothing from history - all those moving speeches, those transcendent insights of life, those wake-up proverbs that return to the basics, are ultimately like huge waves on the sea, no matter how high they swing, they will eventually fall back to the surface of the sea, and then accumulate enough momentum and energy at the next time to soar into the sky again - and then fall back again." Everything in this world, whether it is compassion, hatred, or righteousness, is ultimately just such a repetitive process, over and over again, with no end, and our intellectual lives spiral up in this cycle until we reach the end of some distant ignorance. β
At this point, Adele sighed.
"And at that time," she said with a little sadness, "the progress and evolution of human civilization...... It is time for all the pace of progress to stop, and it is about to usher in a complete end. And whether it is ascension or destruction, it will be the end of a great reincarnation, and at the same time the beginning of another great reincarnation, where everything that has ever happened will be repeated again in another form, and finally reach a new, and possibly completely different end. However, whatever that end may be, it is not something that we who have been annihilated in the previous cycle can know. β
ββ¦β¦β
Little Git rubbed his nose and frowned seriously, feeling a little dumbfounded. He never imagined that Adele would have such thoughts in her heart, such thoughts in her mind. In this way, it seemed as if all his previous considerations seemed childish and superfluous, and this seemingly young girl didn't need him to worry at all, in whatever sense.
However, at the same time, he also felt that something was wrong, and he had a vague guess.
"These words," asked Jrit, tentatively after a moment's deliberation, "did you come up with them yourself?" β
"Of course not," Adele shook her head without hesitation, "it was the eldest lady who told me." β
"Sure enough."
Little Git rolled his eyes, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He said what was the feeling just now, the familiar feeling of oppression was exactly the same as that of the eldest lady, and he thought that his girlfriend had been partially assimilated after staying with the eldest lady for a long time, in that case, he couldn't stand it, and the most important thing was that even if he couldn't stand it, he still had to bear it, because it wasn't his intention to be with Adele from the beginning, and it wasn't something he could say whether to break up or not.
As long as Adele doesn't look like a person for a dayβnot a normal person, the two of them have to be tied together all the time, and there is no way to separate. It was his next task, and he had to complete even if he broke a mouth full of teeth.
And in the middle of his cranky thoughts, Adele had already circled around him like a puppy to the other side, and took a closer look at the suitcase he carried in his hand, which startled him when he found out.
"What the hell is this?"
Adele asked, looking up at little Git.
"I don't know," Little Jit shrugged his shoulders and lifted his suitcase to look at it, "the eldest lady only said that we should send it directly to the El Dorado after we receive the goods, and contact her when we arrive, and she will give instructions on the next step." β
"Uh-huh......"
Adele put her hands in her pockets, and her upper body shook slightly. Little Kitt could already imagine her thoughtful expression as she pouted.
"El Dorado...... El Dorado. The big ship. β
"It's the big ship." Little Jit nodded, "According to what the eldest lady said, it should be temporarily under the control of Dark Heaven by now. β
"It's on the other side of the city, and if we want to get there, we'll have to go through the whole city, and it will take a lot of time. Why did the eldest lady agree to set the place of the transaction with Manju Sawa here? Adele thought a little strangely.
Although according to Manju Sawa's usual temperament, it is the buyer who goes to the place they arrange to "pick up the goods", but if the other party is a big customer of the level of Dark Paradise Shafatina, some unimportant issues can be negotiated and compromised, and it will not have a big impact on the transaction itself. But it was clear that Safatina hadn't done that, and Manju Sawa seemed to have happened to have the deal a little further away from where their next leg of the mission was today.
"Probably...... Miss has other arrangements? Little Jit thought about it, and according to the consistent impression that the eldest lady gave herself, she cautiously made a more conservative judgment. Then, suddenly remembering something, he reached out and looked at the time.
"It's time for us to go."
He exhaled. Although the eldest lady did not stipulate how long they had to deliver the goods, the sooner the better.
Adele nodded the rabbit head, turned around and opened the door and got into the driver's seat, while Little Git entered the co-pilot from the other side. He grabbed the small suitcase and put it in his arms, which looked like a treasure, but he knew very well that if anyone shot him, he would use it as a shield if he couldn't keep it.
Adele twisted her rearview mirror, turned her head with skill, and drove towards the other end of the road in the opposite direction of Manju Sahua. The building lanes in this kind of parking building extend in all directions, like an overpass, and you can get out from anywhere with a few more turns, not to mention that the road they take is actually shorter, but they reach another exit.
A red-eyed rabbit head drives - if you encounter a traffic police officer on the road, you have to force someone to have superpowers. But even if they have superpowers, little Git won't worry about anything, there is a reason why he and Adele have such a division of labor, don't look at her wearing a rabbit mask on her face, the police can't catch her even if they get up a ton of cars. And as long as they don't get caught on the spot, then they have a way to eliminate this little trouble afterwards.
ββ¦β¦ Adele. β
"Huh?"
"There's something I've been concerned about before, and I've just met with the guy who used to sell you, and I'm even more eager to ask - do you remember your old life before you were sold to Stuttgar and joined the Dark Paradise? Do you still have memories of that time? Or has it been cleared? β
"How did you come up with the idea of asking this?" Adele, who was driving, turned her head to look at Little Kitt and asked in surprise, "It doesn't matter how it is, even the eldest lady hasn't asked us this." β
ββ¦β¦ I think it's important to ask. Little Kitt shrugged, "If I had to tell you, I think I would want to know a little bit more about you." β
"Wow." Adele deliberately shivered with a chill, "It feels so disgusting." β
"Did I say something strange?" Little Jit raised an eyebrow, "I feel pretty normal, right?" β
"If it's for you, it's normal." Adele snorted and tapped her fingers on the steering wheel twice, "If you want to talk about my past...... There's really not much to talk about. Although I didn't do anything extra to erase my memories when I left the Outlands and came here, I didn't have much of my own memories in the Outlands, because all of us ...... The product, when we wake up in the facility where we are made, the memories are all from scratch, in the words of the people in the facility, it is 'the new life after death', and the day we successfully become what we are is is our new life, which can be counted as our birthday. For as long as I can remember, I've only been in the Outlands for less than a year after 'new birth' before I was bought out of the facility, sold here, and into the eldest lady's house. β
Listening to Adele's natural words, little Jit felt awkward how to listen to it. Maybe Adele herself didn't care anymore - or maybe she was too tired of some thoughts for so long that she didn't bother to think about it anymore, and she still had the thoughts of the eldest lady as a powerful weapon to arm her heart - but for little Git, this is still not the case.
It feels ...... It's weird. It's not normal to really treat yourself as a commodity. But this is also right, because he was arranged by the eldest lady to Adele for this reason, little by little, slowly evoking Adele's humanity and transforming her from something "something" to a human again. And this process is not easy, of course, and it takes a variety of constant experiments.
That's what he's doing now, anytime, anywhere, at the opportunity, and not letting go of any possibility.
"Then you ......"
Little Git, who had thought about it clearly, was about to say something more, when suddenly Adele slammed on the brakes without warning, forgetting to fasten her seat belt - or rather, Little Git, who had never had the concept of seat belts, leaned forward without any suspense, and almost hit his head on the windshield.
With a painful gasp, Little Geet's eyes widened and his face was distorted. It wasn't that it was because of the crash, but because of the fact that his suitcase, which was a treasure and a spare shield, was sandwiched between him and the front of the saddle like an airbag just now, but it was not the same as the airbag itself, and it was harder than Getit could have imagined, and it almost broke his sternum!
He held his breath and sat back in his seat in pain, blinking his eyes and trying to open his mouth to catch his breath, but his clenched teeth never let go. It was at this moment that he finally knew what was going on and what the hell Adele was up to.
They hadn't yet exited the parking garageβa few floors away, thanks to Manju Sahuaβand they were about to turn into the next floor, when another car appeared at the crossing, and the other car was facing the strange sports car that had been waiting for a long time.
The pitch-black and shiny front of the car is not easy to hit at first glance.
ββ¦β¦ Adele? Little Git staggered his teeth from side to side and grinned, "Don't tell you things are the way I think they are, do you?" β
"It might really be what you think."
