Volume 5: The Cold-Blooded Princess and the Dark Paradise Chapter 85: Serial
.
Time slowed down, the world was silent, and Julius couldn't hear anything but the sound of Nancy sucking her fingers. There was no more movement outside the door, no more sounds of people and things tossing, just like the hallucinations that had been filling his ears before, a fact that was not difficult to guess, Nancy had already solved all his men.
As for how it was solved, to what extent, and what they had become, it was not something that Julius could imagine and care about. He had something else to care about now, but he knew it wasn't easy to talk about.
"Did you kill them all?" He asked with his eyes on the girl and a slight gasp. He seemed to be a little lacking in strength.
"Killed?" Nancy looked at Julius in surprise, then smiled and waved her hand, "Of course not, how is it possible?" We're all friends—friends, right? How can friends kill each other? ”
“……”
Julius was noncommittal about Nancy's words, and Nancy had no intention of hearing anything from him. She stepped forward slowly, snatched a chair from the side, and sat down on it with a big thorn. She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, she sat comfortably and comfortably, leaned over her hands and crossed her fingers on her abdomen, squinted her eyes and looked at Julius "willfully", looking at the inhuman front desk brother next to her who was tortured by herself, as if at this moment there was only her and the old man sitting on the ground in front of her, and this wonderful, quiet moment would never flow, stay forever.
"Now I think we can have a good talk." Nancy said, speaking at a noticeably faster pace, as if she was performing some kind of funny ventriloquist show, nodding to herself as she thought, "I think you might have something to say, and I think you're very funny - I always like to give you a chance to speak, and it would be nice if what you say really makes me happy, in fact I've won many awards, but more often than not, I'm inevitably disappointed, like-" She tilted her head, Frightened, he gestured to the front desk guy next to him, and then grinned, "I also gave him a chance to speak, but what did you hear...... But it was extremely disappointing. So I didn't listen to him. ”
"So you shut him up and you said it to him."
“…… What's the solution? Nancy shrugged her shoulders and smiled helplessly, "I just can't control my mouth, I just want to talk more." ”
"I've heard about you...... There are some interesting rumors about another one. ”
Julius nodded, his tired voice calming down a lot. He leaned back, leaning against the sharp corner of the wall, no matter how awkward it was, looking at Nancy with half-open eyes in the same position.
"Do I need to worry about it...... What about the little ones out there? ”
"Relax – relax." Nancy waved her hand dissatisfiedly, "If I say they are fine, they must be fine." They won't die. ”
"I'm not going to die." Julius smiled and glanced at the eldest brother in the chair next to him, "Is this level of 'not going to die'?" ”
"I slept much more soundly than he did." Nancy smiled naturally.
"So he's a special case?"
"Sort of."
"I'm curious what you said to him." Julius tucked his chin and raised his eyes, his circles a little red, "I heard him muttering something all the time while he was unconscious...... A few names were muttered. ”
"Ah, he heard it!" Nancy turned her head in surprise and joy, looked at the front desk brother on the chair, and reached out in pain and pity to hug the head that had been held for a long time, and hugged it deeply into her chest, and the three balls touched together, "Am I too him...... He's actually a good listener? ”
Of course, the little brother will not answer her question anymore. At this time, he couldn't make any sound, he couldn't react at all, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a little breath and his heart was still beating, he was no different from a corpse that had died miserably. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but after Nancy reappeared, his constant moaning came to an abrupt end.
Julius was more inclined to deny.
"I think he'll thank you for affirming him at this point." "Even though I'm not sure if he can hear it now," he said slowly. ”
"Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure he'll hear you, I'm sure he'll be alive to report to you in person afterwards - if that's what you want to ask." Nancy said casually and briskly, letting go of the little brother's head and sitting back down, "He won't die, he will come back to life, they will always come back to life." Countless examples from the past can prove it. ”
“…… Tell me what those names mean. Trying not to think about the meaning behind what Nancy had just said, Julius tentatively pulled the conversation on the right track.
"I don't remember much of what I said." Nancy innocently glanced to the side and puffed out her cheeks and muttered, "It's just a bunch of random nonsense out of boredom to distract the new friend from making too much of a mess for me." As always, this trick turned out to be ineffective. ”
"If you just gossip around...... So, what you're talking about is something you've been keeping in your head lately, and you've been spinning around, right? ”
“……”
"'Big Miss' ...... 'Little Salon'?"
"Is that all you want to say to me?" Nancy looked at Julius in disappointment, "I thought it would be more fun...... Don't you have anything else to say? ”
"I just want to talk to you about this."
"Okay then." Nancy shrugged, "Then we don't have much to talk about." ”
"I know Salen." Just as Nancy wanted to get up and put her hand on Julius, Julius suddenly opened his mouth and said, his eyes looked at Nancy without blinking, and the redness on the edge became more obvious, "I know their story...... He and your 'eldest lady'. ”
“……”
Nancy's movements paused. She stopped, her eyes on Julius, the smile on her face slowly reined. Then she sat back in her chair.
"Slightly interested?" Julius grinned, this time it was finally his turn to take the initiative, "You're not the only one who finds it interesting. ”
"Tell me about it." Nancy said softly, with an eerie serenity.
"I knew you weren't what you seem." Julius smiled, lowered his head and raised his eyes to meet Nancy's eyes, "Not many people know about that hidden history, after all, both sides have made very strict confidentiality measures for the sake of children and face. I know because I was there at the time, and I was one of the witnesses. ”
"Oh." Nancy let out a groan of pain, slapped her head on the door, and closed her eyes in frustration.
"But even if I knew that, I didn't relate it to what happened today...... It wasn't until I had just heard our friend's dream that I was suddenly struck by lightning. Julius's voice fell, "Miss Efatina—she's just amazing, isn't she?" She asked you to come here with Mr. Gotttie, she knew that something would happen here, and she had expected that Master Saren would deliberately disrupt her; She could have negotiated with the family hierarchy early to rent another boat, but she didn't; The matter between her and Young Master Saren was originally a secret that only a few people present at the time were strictly controlled, but you put together the names of Young Master Saren and Miss Safatina in this place and at this time and 'casually gossiped' to your new friends - this may be a coincidence? But it's a pity that there is no coincidence in our world—you must know about the two of them, and you certainly don't know about the two of them out of thin air, Miss Safatina must have told you. So the question is, why is she doing this, why is she telling you this kind of thing? If she had asked you to come with her just to help Mr. Gauti, to convince Master Saleen to settle the trouble he had caused, then there would be no need for her to let you know about this, and there would be no need for you to know about the matter between Master Salen and her—unless, in the first place, her purpose was more than just for you to help Mr. Gauti make the charter plan go smoothly. ”
“……”
The corners of Nancy's mouth twitched, tilting her head to look at Julius, and then slowly laughed again.
Her goal ...... One of her purposes was to include Young Master Saren from the very beginning! Julius's breathing grew heavier, and his red eyes worsened, "I'm not wrong to say that, right?" From the very beginning, your mission appeared to be to support Mr. Gottí, but in fact there was another arrangement, and this arrangement was made at the sole behest of Miss Safatina, right? ”
“…… Wonderful. After a brief pause, Nancy slapped her face seriously, "But it's a bit self-conscious. ”
"What?"
"Nothing." Shaking her head, Nancy stood up from her chair, "You already know enough...... I talk my word and it makes me happy to talk to you, so I won't hurt you next. But you're still going to cooperate with me until the end of the game. ”
"What game?"
"You should be in a high position here, right? It should be important, right? Nancy grinned again, "If all the people who came didn't go back, sooner or later he would come in person." According to what the eldest lady said, he is such a person...... It's fun to think about. ”
“…… Then you'd be wrong. ”
"What?"
"You're right, if it's Young Master Salen, according to your play, he will indeed come over soon." The corners of Julius' mouth twitched, "—if he had the final say." ”
