Chapter 181: Rejected by the World
"I'll give you that card, in exchange for not interfering with me and Mei Changqing's actions before I die."
"What are you kidding," Estes laughed angrily, was this woman playing with herself, and who in this world had killed her. "How could you die for no reason?"
"I will, I'm going to die in the last few days, I have this hunch... It's the world that's going to kill me. ”
"What?!" Estes said incredulously that she knew what Joan of Arc meant, who had received systematic knowledge inheritance, but it was almost impossible.
Being killed by the world means that the world in which a person is located begins to reject his existence, and will make that person die by accident in various unbelievable ways, similar to the Grim Reaper coming or the world of the Gate of the Destiny Stone, where people will be killed by various accidents or coincidences, such as choking to death while eating, tripping and falling to death while walking, even if someone wants to stop it, no matter how many times anyone does it, they can't save that person's life.
"I don't have much time left, if you don't believe me, take this card away." Joan of Arc took out the detachment card that Mei Changqing gave herself, if she died, Mei Changqing could only rely on the woman in front of her if she wanted to complete the task, she was stronger than herself and could protect the teenager.
"......" Joan of Arc dies, Mei Changqing's mission cannot be completed, and that is something that Estes absolutely does not want to happen.
Estes looked at Joan of Arc in silence, without the-for-tat of the past, Joan of Arc looked like an old man talking about a will, he had never seen her so fragile and sad in all these years. The detachment card can resist the influence of the world and the inertia of the plot to a certain extent, and with that card, Joan of Arc can live a little longer, at least give more time for Mei Changqing to complete the task.
"I'll trust you one more time, and then you hurry up and let him help you make your wish come true."
Estes didn't take the card that he had dreamed of for more than ten years and turned away, his brother's life is the most important thing, the key person in Mei Changqing's mission, if he dies, Mei Changqing will be exiled because of the failure of the mission. Even if there was only a 1 in 1,000 chance, Estes didn't want to risk Mei Changqing's life.
…… I'll let you go this time.
"Thank you."
Estes didn't want to continue his contact with Joan of Arc and left quickly.
Mei Changqing didn't know that so many things happened when he was unconscious, and after fighting with Estes with all his might, Mei Changqing fell into a coma because his body couldn't stand the load on his body from the light gun that judged the crime.
During this time, Leonay took advantage of Estes's absence to sneak into Mei Changqing's house, and today's informant of the army reported that there was a battle between Estes and Mei Changqing in the suburbs of the imperial capital, because the two were locked in Estes's ice room in the later part of the battle, so I don't know what the result was, but it is certain that Estes was not seriously injured.
After hearing the news, Leonai was worried about Mei Changqing's situation and volunteered to sneak into the imperial capital to investigate the situation, although it was said to be an investigation, but in fact it was to see what happened to Mei Changqing, although the two did not have a deep relationship, but Mei Changqing was the man who took away his first time, and it was impossible to say that he didn't care.
Leonai came to Mei Changqing's bedside, looked at Mei Changqing with a pale face on the bed, and leaned his head on Mei Changqing's heart to check his heartbeat with some worry.
"What~I thought I was dead~" After hearing the regular heartbeat, Leonai knew that Mei Changqing should be fine, and patted his elastic chest. The ministry breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you want me to die like that?" Mei Changqing was woken up by Leonay, and complained weakly after hearing her words.
"Alas~ Little brother, you're awake."
"You woke me up."
"Little brother, your attitude will make you suffer, I'll tell you." Looking at Mei Changqing, who was lying on the bed weakly, Leona entered the half-orc mode and looked at Mei Changqing with a smug face.
"I heard that you did half a night attack alone a few days ago~"
"It's not half, it's more than half. To be precise, I defeated all of them, except for your boss and red pupils. Mei Changqing seriously corrected Leonai's mistakes.
"So you are so powerful, but you are listed as a target that must be killed~" Leonai flashed his sharp claws and gestured a few times on Mei Changqing's body.
"You're not going to kill me, if you want to, you'll do it just now." Mei Changqing said weakly, "And I still have an effect on you, if you guess correctly, you should wait until the minister dies to kill me, right?" ”
Seeing Mei Changqing's fearless appearance, Leonai pursed his lips angrily and withdrew from the semi-beast state.
"Cut, you're smart. I'm here today to tell you that we're willing to work with you, and if you want to continue, we'll be talking to the boss in person at HQ about killing the Minister in a week. ”
"Okay, I got it."
"By the way, you're not allowed to bring troops!" As if something suddenly came to mind, Leona said with a grin at Mei Changqing.
"Don't worry, I'll only take my sister."
"Neither can Estes!" Leonai glared at Mei Changqing, this guy is purely looking for fault, it is better to bring Estes with tens of thousands of troops.
"I'm too dangerous to be alone." Mei Changqing said with some grievances, what if you go to the night attack alone, what if you are directly killed by them?
"What are you afraid of with me?" Leona said with the appearance of an eldest sister.
"Just you? What can you do if you can't even beat me? Mei Changqing rolled her eyes and said.
"You don't believe in my strength?" Leonai grinned and pounced on Mei Changqing with a fierce expression.
"Ahem, let go, let go, I'm going to die!" Mei Changqing, who was still in a state of serious injury, was pressed by Leonay, and suddenly felt a pain all over her body, and cried out in pain.
Leonai heard Mei Changqing's cry, hurriedly stood up, and checked Mei Changqing's body a little overwhelmed. But as soon as I touched it, I was interrupted by Mei Changqing's screams,
"Don't move, it hurts."
"Uh, you're so badly injured?" Leona asked with some incredulity, she knows Mei Changqing's combat power, that Estes can actually beat him like this, so how strong is Estes?
"Nonsense, that's my sister, the strongest in the empire, do you understand? As for your night attack on that group of guys, my sister can solve it with a wave of her hand, I advise you to give up resistance, I will see our feelings... Ahh~ Wait, I was wrong, stop it! ”
As soon as Mei Changqing wanted to pretend to be forced to force him, he was slapped on the chest by Leonay with a palm, and suddenly screamed in pain.
"Humph! Look at how dare you talk nonsense. Leonai glanced at Mei Changqing angrily and said, "You must come in seven days." ”
"Okay, okay. Don't worry, you'll wait on the bed for me at that time~" Mei Changqing saw that Leona was leaving, how could she let go of the opportunity to take advantage of her mouth.
After Leonai heard Mei Changqing's words, her beautiful face turned slightly red, and she glared at Mei Changqing and left quickly.
On the night of the seventh day, Mei Changqing put on a sleek black coat and prepared to go to the night raid to discuss with their boss, Na Jiexitan, about the assassination of the minister. Although Leonai has repeatedly said that he is just going to discuss the policy tonight and will definitely not harm Mei Changqing's life, Mei Changqing still feels a little empty.
The one that attacked at night was one of the best assassination organizations in the world, and he happened to be the object they regarded as the one who had to be killed, and he entered the local lair alone, Mei Changqing asked himself if he had such a good opportunity to kill himself, and he would never let it go.
When I came to the small room outside the imperial capital, I found that Leonai had been waiting there for a long time, and in the hut in addition to Leonay, there was also a Chinese lady Xi'er wearing a white cheongsam, at this time she had fallen asleep on Leonay's shoulder, and the corners of her mouth were drooling.
"Yo~ Little brother, you are really a good person who keeps his promises~" Leonai raised his hand boldly after seeing Mei Changqing and said hello, waking up Xi'er who was sleeping because of too much movement on the way.
"Ah, hello, Mei Changqing." Xi'er rubbed her eyes in a bit of confusion and said hello to Mei Changqing, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
"The two of you are good~" Looking at the two old acquaintances in the night attack, Mei Changqing showed a gentle smile, it seems that they are still quite good at choosing people in the night attack, if it is replaced by other people, Mei Changqing is really reluctant to go with them, after all, people are creatures who like their familiar environment.
"Alright, then come with me now." Leonai took out a black cloth to cover Mei Changqing's eyes and then took her hand and walked outside the house, "Don't worry, we will guarantee your safety before you arrive at the base." ”
Mei Changqing had used a dangerous species to track Leonai before, of course, he already knew where the headquarters of the night attack was, but since Leonai was willing to pull him, Mei Changqing did not resist, and was blindfolded, he simply leaned on Leonay's body, held the roundness of Leonay's chest with both hands, and began to eat tofu hairily.
"Someone's here, don't mess around." Feeling that Mei Changqing's unruly hands were becoming more and more reckless in invading his own European faction, Leonai blushed and whispered to Mei Changqing.
"Afraid of what? You are all my people~" Mei Changqing said loudly deliberately.
Xi'er, who was walking in front, turned her head suspiciously after hearing Mei Changqing's words: "That Mei Changqing, did you say anything just now?" ”
"No, no~ It's your delusion~" Leona was so frightened that she waved her hand and laughed.
"I see, then you should be careful, we are going to walk the mountain road, and the road in that section is very difficult." Ciel smiled blankly when she heard Leonay's explanation, and reminded kindly.
"Thank you, Ciel. You're such a good girl~" Mei Changqing showed a touching smile and kneaded her hands more vigorously.
'Smack! Leonay, who couldn't bear it, slapped Mei Changqing's hand with a palm, "Be careful, there are many mosquitoes at night." ”
“… Thanks for the reminder. Mei Changqing was silent for a moment and replied, this woman is really 。。。。。。
After walking for dozens of minutes, the originally rugged mountain road became smooth, and through the black cloth, you could feel the bright light around you.
"Brush." The blindfolded black cloth is unwrapped, revealing an empty conference room, where the Night Raid boss Najehitan sits at the top of a rectangular table with a large Night Raid logo on her head.
"You're finally here." Na Jiexitan showed a cool smile when she saw Mei Changqing, "I haven't seen each other for several years, Mr. Mei Changqing?" ”
"yes, we haven't seen each other in a while, Najeshitan." Mei Changqing, who saw his old acquaintance again, found a seat and did it, and looked at Na Jiexitan with a tired face, "Hey~ It's a killer organization in the famous imperial capital, why don't you have guests who come and don't serve some tea and snacks?" ”
“… Ciel and Leonay went to get some snacks, and I had something to talk about with this gentleman. After a moment of silence, Na Jiexitan took advantage of Mei Changqing's steps to separate Leonai and Xi'er, planning to talk to Mei Changqing alone.
"Okay, let's go, Ci'er." Leonai pulled Xi'er out of the conference room, leaving Mei Changqing and Na Jiexitan alone inside.
“… You're still the same~" Staring at Mei Changqing for a while, Najiehitan said with some emotion, Najiehitan knew Mei Changqing when she was with Estes before, and although the relationship between the two was not good, it was still passable, but I didn't expect to become enemies a few years later.
"It's okay, it's okay~ But you actually changed a mechanical leg and a robotic arm, it seems that my sister was really merciful at that time~"
"It wasn't her subordinates who showed mercy, it was the army's reinforcements who saved me." Najeshitan said with a serious face.
"Poof~hahahahaha..."Mei Changqing laughed as if he had heard some funny joke, "You, you don't really think that you could escape back then, right?" ”
"And so it is." Na Jiexitan's face gradually sank, and that past incident was the last thing she wanted to mention, but Mei Changqing actually used that incident to mock herself unscrupulously.
"Do you think it's any different for my sister to break your arms and thighs with one blow than to break your neck with a single blow?" Mei Changqing asked with some sarcasm, "Or do you think that those second-rate troops can stop my sister's attack?" ”
Hearing Mei Changqing's words, Na Jiexi was speechless, indeed as Mei Changqing said, Estes at that time did let himself live until now with the idea of letting himself go.
"I don't want to mention the past, but today I'm here to talk to you about the assassination of the minister."
"What's there to talk about? Follow my plan, I will support the guards in the imperial capital, and you will take action. Mei Changqing raised Erlang's legs and said.
"Humph! To put it simply, you are going to assassinate the minister at night, do you think I don't know that the border defense of the imperial capital is lax during the day and strict at night, and the assassination of the minister must be dispatched by all members, but it is in the center of the imperial capital, in case you directly send someone to surround us at that time, we can't even escape. ”
"Hmm... You have a point, and I'm going to do that. Mei Changqing propped up his chin with his hand and made a thoughtful expression, "But you will never let go of this opportunity, will you?" ”
"But that doesn't mean we'll pay the blood of our own companions to complete this mission." Najehitan slapped the table and said angrily.
"I'm curious about what kind of guy who ran away with his tail between his legs a few years ago has the right to argue with me like this, and now the choice is in my hands, and if you don't want to, I'll do it myself." Mei Changqing didn't care about the anger of the former imperial general, and plucked out his ears and said.
"That's all I qualify." Najehitan picked up the cup on the table and slammed it on the ground. Hearing a click, a group of killers from the night attack rushed into the conference room, all of them holding weapons at Mei Changqing.
..... Isn't that the plot of the cup or something? This is the world of anime!
"Now can we have a good talk? Mr. Mei Changqing. ”
Assassinating the minister in the empire is a capital crime, if you don't join the army, you can only flee after assassinating the minister, this is a well-known thing in this world, and the group of people who attacked at night seemed to think that Mei Changqing came to greet them first so that they could join the army in the future, so they didn't set any precautions when Mei Changqing went back, so they left with Mei Changqing casually.
After returning to the imperial capital, Mei Changqing found Joan of Arc as soon as possible and went to explain to her about the assassination of the minister. Although the difficulty of assassinating the minister has been reduced a lot because of the addition of the night attack, the night attack they asked the last person to assassinate the candidate, the night attack and Mei Changqing each sent two people to complete the plan, which means that Mei Changqing must bring Joan of Arc to cooperate with the night attack.
At this time, Joan of Arc was walking alone on the path of a park in the imperial capital, which was usually occupied by almost no one because only high-ranking officials were allowed to enter, but the empire spent a lot of gold coins in this park every year.
Joan of Arc sat in her chair and looked at the sky boringly, the afternoon sun shining on her quiet and soft face that people couldn't help but want to kiss her. Joan of Arc issued the latest law a few mornings, and was not surprisingly met with great resistance, with almost half of the officials opposing her changes, but the minister seemed to think that it didn't matter, and that the laws of the empire did need to be changed.
"Why the hell is that guy like that? Obviously, that kind of law is not conducive to him to control the officials of the Empire..."Joan of Arc muttered to herself a little strangely, and the minister's attitude made her wonder if there was something wrong with her new law.
"Don't think too much about it, when that guy dies, it'll be over."
"How's it going?" Joan of Arc didn't have to look to know who was behind her, and only Mei Changqing would do this in the entire empire.
"They agreed, but only if you and I went together to give the minister the final blow." Mei Changqing said helplessly.
"Isn't that great? After the assassination of the minister, we will wander this world together, and then fulfill my wish and leave this world together. Joan of Arc said half-jokingly, a subtle hint of sadness flashing in her sun-bright eyes.
"Alas~ It turns out that Joan of Arc is still such a romantic person?" Mei Changqing said with some surprise, she had never heard Joan of Arc say such things before.
"Hee-hee, didn't you say you wanted to help me fulfill my wish?" Joan of Arc looked at Mei Changqing with eyes as blue as the ocean, and said with some expectation.
"yes, that's what I'm here for."
"Then stay with me for the past few days, maybe when my wish will come true."
"......" heard Joan of Arc say this kind of thing like a dumb riddle again, Mei Changqing didn't know what to do, Joan of Arc's favorite thing is to say this kind of confusing words.
"Come on~ You can already fulfill my wish, as long as you are with me for a few days~" Joan of Arc said with his arm around Mei Changqing.
"Alas~ I really can't help you." Mei Changqing learned Joan of Arc's tone and said her favorite mantra, "Then I'll ask for a lot of advice in the next few days." ”
Hearing Mei Changqing's words, Joan of Arc smiled happily and hugged Mei Changqing tightly.
Mei Changqing looked at Joan of Arc with a happy look on her face, and stretched out her hand to take away the headdress that Joan of Arc was wearing on her head.
"Alas... Joan of Arc let go of the hand holding Mei Changqing and wanted to snatch back his headdress, but was blocked by Mei Changqing with his hand.
"This should be regarded as the price for me to accompany you for the past few days, you must know that my sister is very scary."
Hearing Mei Changqing's words, Joan of Arc stopped snatching, but smiled softly like a virtuous wife and helped Mei Changqing put it on her head.
"I'll give it to you if you like it."
Mei Changqing instinctively feels that today's Joan of Arc is a little different, the previous Joan of Arc gave people the feeling of being the kind of strong woman who was calm and meticulous in trouble, but today Joan of Arc made Mei Changqing feel a bit like a little woman in love, took the initiative to ask herself to accompany her, and gave herself the headdress that she didn't know how long she had been wearing, which was not too good to herself.
"Joan of Arc, how do you feel a little different today than usual?" Mei Changqing couldn't help but ask.
"It's different... Is there one?" Joan of Arc looked herself up and down and saw that she was dressed no different than usual.
"Ah, by the way~ Come with me to the store, I want to buy some clothes too." Joan of Arc looked at her unchanged dress for more than ten years, and suddenly thought that she was about to die or take advantage of the current dress to dress up more, she wanted to leave her most beautiful side to Mei Changqing.
After coming to the mall, Mei Changqing let Zhen drag around, always feeling that today's Joan of Arc seems to have let go of something, much more cheerful than before, and will actually take the initiative to ask to dress up, you must know that when Mei Changqing and Joan of Arc went to the mall in the past, Joan of Arc was always reluctant, and in her words, this kind of thing is a waste of time and an unnecessary activity.
Joan of Arc gave full play to a woman's talent for shopping, happily ran into every clothing store, as if tirelessly holding a piece of different clothes to try them on, and asked Mei Changqing's opinion from time to time, completely looking like a little girl.
A few hours later, Mei Changqing returned home with her tired body, it was incredible that Joan of Arc was still clinging to herself, you must know that Estes was also at home today, as long as Estes was at home, Joan of Arc would never come close to Mei Changqing's door to avoid a dispute with Estes.
But today Joan of Arc not only came into Mei Changqing's house, but also held Mei Changqing's arm in a bright light, and the two of them looked like a couple at this time.
"Are you back? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, I'll go out and do some errands later. Estes glanced at Joan of Arc as if he didn't see the intimacy of the two, and turned away after saying it lightly, looking out of sight and out of mind.
…… What's going on? Forget about Joan of Arc, why has even my sister become so strange, am I dreaming?
Mei Changqing watched Estes leave with a flat face in shock, this, is this still her sister? After seeing Joan of Arc, he didn't say sarcastic, didn't speak ill of each other, and seemed to admit his intimate relationship with Joan of Arc, what happened to the world?
Mei Changqing looked at Estes with a shocked face, but ignored the trace of gratitude in Joan of Arc's eyes when she looked at Estes.
…… Thank you, Estes.
As time passed, Joan of Arc's premonition of her own death grew stronger, and the feeling of being disgusted by the world unconsciously filled her heart. Joan of Arc, who was getting closer and closer to death, was suddenly a little grateful that she could have the power called revelation, at least that ability was saving the life of her sweetheart.
Since Joan of Arc and Estes abandoned their previous suspicions for some reason, Mei Changqing has lived a comfortable life, and the beautiful sister and the childhood sweetheart who seems to be a little ambiguous with herself can be together calmly, which is great~ Mei Changqing always thought that such days would continue until he and Joan of Arc left this world together.
Although I'm a little sorry for my sister Estes, but I believe that after solving a series of problems, Estes will live well in this world, Mei Changqing thought that since she couldn't take Estes out of this world, then leave Estes a gentler world, and it would not be impossible to take Estes away when he had the opportunity to come back.
It's just that Mei Changqing didn't expect that on the night he agreed to assassinate the minister, something that he couldn't think of no matter how happened happened between Estes and Joan of Arc.
"Are you sure it's tonight?" Estes leaned against a large tree and looked at Joan of Arc as she knelt on the ground praying.
"It can't be wrong, I can feel it, death is all around me." Joan of Arc's eyes flashed with reluctance and sadness, and said in a calm tone.
