"Broker?"

In the kitchen of the holiday house, the figure standing near the refrigerator on the left side said in a puzzled tone.

Her silver hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and the outfit on her body was changed into a combat suit that was easy to move, and under her slender eyelashes were eyes with suspicious eyes.

"Well, that's my previous 'job', not to make myself successful, but to let others achieve their goals, of course, from the perspective of both parties, it is essentially a win-win way, so the identity of 'agent' is not very important, anyway, in the end, it is all for myself."

"I'm sure you still have some different ideas when you play the so-called 'agent'."

"Can't deny it, Miss Altair...... When you have the status of 'agent', you will appear more objective and rational, just like ordinary people watching news reports, even if other countries are still at war, it is just 'an unrelated event' for news viewers, and it is not as important as the question of 'what to eat for dinner'. ”

"However, you are not the 'simple ordinary person' mentioned in your mouth, after all, as an agent, you will also participate in the incident when you are more objective and rational, right?"

Altai added with a rhetorical question, and Gu Wu, who had heard this, lowered his head and looked at his hands clenched into fists.

"Quite right! People will always say, 'The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear', and if you become a 'broker', you can change that sentence and make it 'the authorities clear'. ”

The simple identity of a 'broker' actually has a special side.

Both a participant and an observer of the event.

However, after completing the task, going through the trial, and investigating the past, it is difficult for Gu Wu to look at his problems from an objective perspective as before.

"So I'm thinking about whether to change my position, not to be a simple participant, but to become an objective person who participates; That's right, I'm talking about the identity of 'broker'. ”

Help the target complete the task while not having any confusion and mistakes.

If that fails...... There are many facts that can prove the bad results after failure.

If the agent and the contractor make a mistake together, sooner or later, they will lose sight of the right path and get lost in the woods called Mistakes, covered in barbed thorns.

"But when you get involved, even as an 'agent', you can't look at the problem objectively."

"That's not right, Miss Altair, because the interests of the 'agent' can be independent while being linked to the contractor, so there will be an objective view to help the contractor make the right choice."

"Sounds incredible."

"Actually, it's like a second personality, such as 'Altair in the past' and 'Altair in the present', the former is full of anger, but the latter is calm, isn't this change also achieved by Miss Altaïr alone?"

Gu Wu sighed lightly

"'Sensibility' and 'rationality', 'subjectivity' and 'objectivity' have always existed in our hearts, but the identity of 'agent' makes them more concrete."

"Ordinary people also have two opinions, but the identity of 'broker' can mobilize them? This explanation reminds me of 'psychological suggestion'. ”

Hearing Altaïr say this, Gu Wu responded affirmatively

"Yes, the so-called 'career' is all psychological suggestion, because I have studied the corresponding subject, so I have to take responsibility and bear all the pressures that come with my career."

Therefore, the 'agent' is also similar to the profession of teacher, player, singer, driver, etc., those professions require professional knowledge and level, and the 'agent' must also add 'sufficient calm and objective judgment ability'.

Gu Wu didn't think he had done it perfectly, but he wasn't too bad either.

Finishing thinking, Gu Wu, who was staying on the right, took a deep breath, and reached for the packaging bag of chocolate bread that had been opened not long ago.

In addition to food, Gu Wu also glanced at the various drinks placed in the refrigerator that was opened, and then looked at Altair

"Miss Altair, bring some drinks too."

"As long as they are willing to cooperate, you can spare their lives, so that they can have a chance to drink."

With that, Altair pulled out fruit, beer, and energy drink from the fridge.

The two of them walked to the door of the holiday house, and Gu Wu was immediately asked by the girl next to him

"You just mentioned the topic of 'brokers', what exactly is ......it for?"

"I guess I'm going to show myself to Miss Altair, because I want to be objective when it comes to problems, so that I can think of more situations."

"When you're involved in an event, you can't be objective; Even according to what you just explained, when your interests are independent, do you guarantee that you can calmly look at the problems of others? ”

"This ......"

Gu Wu came to the porch outside the door, and he responded as he stepped into the stairs

"'Objective' also means 'restraint' in my opinion, that is, not to let one's thoughts be swayed by negative emotions, and to look at problems from a reasonable perspective."

Speaking of this, Gu Wu couldn't help but stop

"Miss Altair, I don't want to be a 'mighty monster' right now."

Gu Wu promised that he would not repeat the mistakes of the past, but the future is not an established fact and may change.

"I don't think you'll ever be like that."

Altaïr continued in a calm tone

"Because you're too gentle."

"Gentleness is a necessary element to erect a FLAG and improve favorability, Miss Altaïr will understand it after playing the gal game!"

"I'm not interested in your hobbies, but I'm not going to give up spying on you."

"Seriously watched by Miss Altair!"

"Shut up."

Listening to the cold answer, Gu Wu caught up with Altair, who had surpassed him, and walked towards the distant beach area together.

————

Gu Wu and Altair threw the bread and drinks they had obtained in the kitchen to the two traversers.

One of them had been badly taught by Altaïr in the previous battle, his clothes were in tatters, and he had many wounds on his body, but fortunately he was not fatally wounded;

The other traverser was very cooperative and did not choose to resist Gu Wu, so on the whole, there was no big problem, but he was a little nervous and hungry.

After catching the food thrown into his arms, the two traversers who did not dare to flee immediately devoured it.

Use their abilities to create a beach chair, and after fixing it, Gu Wu and Altair, who are sitting on it, stare at the two hungry traversers.

"Answer my questions when you're done eating, and give you three minutes."

It was late at night.

At twelve o'clock the sea was as noisy as daytime.

The sound of waves crashing against the reef came from the wind, mixed with the smell of moisture.

[In response to the host, do I need the system to search the surrounding area?] 】

"If you can do it, you should do it sooner...... Forget it, just investigate it, I'm sure these two people can provide good information. ”

Gu Wu ended the conversation with the system, and the two traversers in his field of vision also ate up the food at an extremely fast speed.

"Thank you, big brother!"

"Don't call me big brother."

"Whatever you want to ask, just ask, as long as it is a question we know, we will answer it!"

After the traverser on the left finished speaking, he leaned his elbow against the other person on the right.

The traverser with a knife wound on his face reacted, and he nodded again and again as he carefully rubbed his hands.

That's right, and I'll answer as much as I can; It's just that I also want to make it clear that many of the problems in the hearts of the two of you are actually our problems as well. ”

The person with the knife wound had already guessed what Gu Wu wanted to ask.

Even so, it has to be carried out.

"Question one, why are you here?"

"What happened to us was the same...... It's not an active crossing, it's not a crossing because of a mission, but it's like having a long dream, waking up and coming to this place. ”

Yes!

The traverser who called Gu Wu 'big brother' pointed at himself

"My name is 'Greene', this guy's name...... Remember that it was 'Rhodes', please believe that we have no malicious intentions, otherwise it would not have been possible to deliberately delay until now when there was a chance to sneak attack. ”

Green's statement makes sense, but it can't be easily accepted.

They were Gu Wu's enemies in the past, and even if they finally survived the difficulties by means of cooperation, it didn't mean that Gu Wu would treat them as companions.

At the moment when the difference in strength was obvious, as long as the threat was not eliminated, Gu Wu would not give them any form of freedom.

So Gu Wu continued to ask

"Question two, is there anyone else here besides the two of you?"

Asking this, Rhodes, who had a knife wound on his body, shook his head

He explained as he played with the empty bottle

"My encounter with Green can also be said to be accidental, because he appeared in a cave connected by a reef, and I woke up in the woods; After encountering each other, they found the building where the two people were, so they chose to act cautiously and conducted their own investigations, and the results were ...... I chose to protect myself, and I was defeated by the lady over there. ”

It is not like Rhodes is lying, it is better to say that he does not have the courage to lie either.

Gu Wu could sense their breath and understand the inner activities of the two people without magic.

"Let me ask the third question......"

Altaïr fixed his eyes on the two traversers

"You who used to be Gu Wu's enemies assumed that you found more companions, would you attack again?"

This is not actually a problem, after all, it is impossible for these two people to answer with 'will attack'.

Therefore, Altair's real reason for asking questions is to observe their mental activity and details, and to rule out anything wrong if they find something wrong.

Hearing this, Rhodes shook his head repeatedly, while Green showed a serious expression

"This big sister's head."

"Don't call me that."

"This young lady, we have no intention of going against Brother Gu Wu, and even if there are really other people in this world, there is no reason for everyone to fight together after everyone gathers; In the past, we fought to stay alive, so we had to join forces, and now we ...... Assuming that the eldest brother didn't lie, and he didn't have to kill anyone, and he didn't have to do tasks to stay and rest, then the choice of 'resisting Gu Wu' would have disappeared fundamentally. ”

Not only that, but Green is also looking for new opportunities

"Since the two of you can live in this world, it proves that we, as time-travelers, can also stay here! What do I have to do to stay?! ”

"Don't get an inch."

"I just want ......"

"Your danger has not been eliminated, and you cannot be given any form of freedom, and this is the answer."

After Altaïr finished speaking, Rhodes let out a helpless sigh

"The 'whoever asserts the burden of proof' rule is not appropriate here, right...... You don't need to prove that we are not in danger, and we have to prove that we are harmless, but on the premise of not being trusted at all, isn't our statement just a 'lie'? It's the same as hunting witches in the past...... Fear of pain, fear of pain, sorrow, no sorrow, begging for mercy, no begging for mercy, no matter what choice you choose, you will be regarded as a lackey of the devil and an apostle of Satan. ”

Because of the premise of 'not being able to trust', they are not free.

Gu Wu also understood the meaning.

"I need information outside of you, and the two of you must not be the only traveler who has come to this world."

"Brother Gu Wu, I have the same thoughts, but we really don't know the location of other people."

"Then let's keep them in custody."

"We can't resist such a decision......

The result is obvious, the two traversers who are in a weak position have no bargaining chips and strength.

"Let's decide first, I'll make detailed arrangements, and I have to participate in a lot of activities tomorrow."

For this reason, Gu Wu contacted Richardson, and then asked the people in the soldier's base to also take action.

Not only that, but Gu Wu also cast a cursed spell on them, and without his lifting, the hearts of the two people would be torn apart three days later.

"That's it! End of the night talk!! ”

Gu Wu, who was tired, didn't want to waste any more time.

————

Back to the room.

Gu Wu, who had experienced a small episode, found that Xia Zhiqiu had fallen asleep.

You can see that there is a book on the bed, and I guess I am asleep.

Putting the books away, Gu Wu also lay on his bed.

This will be followed by a world conference and an investigation into the 'crossed' event.

It's a bit of a hassle......

Gu Wu sighed softly in his heart, and at the same time heard a voice from the side.

"I'm finally back, Mr. Gu Wu......"

"Kasumigaoka...... You haven't slept yet. ”

"No, I was asleep just now, but now...... Let's extend the stay up a little longer. ”

The girl's smile is full of deep meaning!?
