Gascoigne and Brand in conversation.

Destined to be impossible for Du Wei to know, their exchange soon ended.

And if.

Du Wei knew the words.

That's probably it.

Think about how miserable Gaiscoigne ended up last time he said something similar.

……

Next.

All the people of the Vanity Sect stepped out of the huge square building.

Alfaria as a leader.

He looked at everyone, and his voice couldn't hear any emotion: "Everyone, the next time we get together again, if nothing else, it should be April in two years." ”

"During this period, the tasks that were originally set for them had to be carried out smoothly."

"No matter what method you use, the next time I come to the island in the middle of the lake, I hope to see more things related to the demon god."

"If it goes well, the sacrificial ceremony will also take place at that time."

The rest nodded coldly.

Then, Alfaria looked at Du Wei again.

"Your Excellency, your situation is quite special, and now the outside world is paying a lot of attention to you, I hope that after you and Brand bring that mask back, you can stay on the high seas for a while, because as far as I know, there is a gate of hell on the high seas."

"That door is where Matthew used to enter."

"First, it will allow you to show your abilities, and second, it will also make the world gradually forget your name."

Hear this.

Du Wei said calmly: "I will go." ”

In fact, he was already planning to retire.

It's impossible to go to a hellish place like the high seas.

Seeing this, Alfaria didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked out.

Every step falls.

His figure was much more distorted.

Gradually, it fades and fades, and then disappears.

The others seemed to be used to this scene and left in all sorts of weird ways.

Someone sank into the ground like a shadow.

Others disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Others, as if playing a trick, fell their clothes violently, and out of them flew out of them, flapping their wings and flying high into the air.

Time.

On the entire island in the middle of the lake, only Brand, Dewey, and Gascoigne and Mercer remained.

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Mercer looked at the three people and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and the whole person felt bad.

He said tentatively: "Gascoigne, Your Excellency the Duke and Brand are going to retrieve the mask, or let's go together, I just want to pass by the area you are responsible for, and we can communicate for a while." ”

Gascoigne glanced at him and said emotionlessly, "No, I want to go alone." ”

Hear the words.

Mercer was even more embarrassed, and he said, "Okay, then I'll leave first, and I'll see you next time." ”

With that, he walked to the edge of the island in the middle of the lake, and rowed away in the most unpretentious way......

There were only three people left in place.

Brand looked at Gascoigne, and Gascoigne looked at Dewey.

And Dewey.

He pretended to be surprised and asked, "You seem to have something to say to me?" ”

Gascoigne frowned.

He didn't really want to say anything.

But since the other party asked so, it's not good to pretend to be silent.

So, he said: "Your Excellency, I actually have a question for you, and in some sources, it seems that you did not exist long in the Victorian era. ”

"But you're better than anyone else in your time."

"Many of your ideas, as well as your abilities, are all a mystery, of course I don't want to explore your secrets, I just want to ask you, as a strong person who has transcended the times, have you ever had any regrets?"

The words he asked were nothing more than casual nonsense.

In fact, he was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this Duke.

Or, rather, as rivals.

He was unwilling.

Du Wei glanced at him and said calmly: "My only regret is probably that I didn't solve the demon gods, so that until now, I have always been in a deep whirlpool. ”

"What I'm looking for is an answer, and it's also a result."

Gascoigne nodded and said in a casual tone, "It's you." ”

Du Wei said lightly: "I can't say that, in fact, I also have some regrets, because I forgot a woman who is very important to me." ”

"She has done so much for me, but I have forgotten her name, her appearance."

"In addition to trying to deal with the demon gods now, I also want to get her back."

These words were deliberately said to Gascoigne.

And after that.

Du Wei didn't look at him again, but said to Brand with complicated eyes: "Let's go, it's time for us to go." ”

Brand replied, "Yes, Your Excellency. ”

……

Soon, Dewey and Brand left the island in the middle of the lake.

the whole island.

Gaiscoigne was the only one left.

He was dressed in a black robe and stood silently in place.

Suddenly......

Gascoigne clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "It makes me sick that you have forgotten her name, and even what she looks like. ”

"Why does she love you so much?"

"She didn't look at me until she died."

"Where am I not as good as you?"

"And you don't even know Alex is Minette, what do you think you're doing?"

"She has lost all her memories, she has lost consciousness, and she can meet you in the sea of people, I want to say why?"

"I can give my life for her, you didn't do anything, but she is willing to give up everything to let you return to this world."

"You don't deserve it at all."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became.

He took off his mask directly and glared at the gloomy sky, and the air around him seemed to have dropped to freezing, which was terrifyingly cold.

"Fate, look at my face."

His face exposed to the air was crawling with black veins, his complexion was pale as paper, and his eyes were wide open, not like a person at all, but like some kind of monster.

"I have more to lose than you, and for more than two hundred years, I have been looking for a way forward."

"In terms of strength, I don't think I'm worse than you."

"In terms of experience, the pain I have experienced is something you have never felt."

"I'm stronger than you."

……

The other side.

After Dewey and Brand left.

There was a special driver, driving a black car, to the nearest airport.

When on the road.

Brand's tone was slightly respectful: "Your Excellency, the location of that mask, I have already completed the investigation last night, and we will take a plane to New York next." ”

"If nothing else, we should be at our destination at 4 p.m."

"I'll take action when the time comes, and if something uncontrollable happens, please take control of the situation."

Du Wei leaned back on the leather seat and asked lightly, "That mask is in New York?" ”

Brand replied, "Yes, at Hill Psychiatric Hospital in the suburbs of New York, you seem to have been there, but it's now in ruins." ”
