The accustomed warm sunlight poured down from the sky, Gu Wu, who was standing on the dock, opened a can of beer with his hand, and Locke, who was next to him, continued to smoke out the remaining half of the cigarette.

"If you hurry up, you can get there in the evening, but I can only come in handy if I get to Roanapura within today."

After taking a sip of beer, the slightly pungent smell of wine spread out in his mouth, and Gu Wu, who was dominated by the coldness, let out a long sigh, leaning against the corridor of the dock and looking at the ships that were gradually approaching.

Locke, who took a puff of cigarette and threw the cigarette butt into the sea, stretched out, remembering his previous experience and answering by comparing it.

"It's probably no problem, not long ago we delayed arriving here because it took too long to prepare, and now if we rush over with all our might, we should be able to get to the scene before the incident."

"Actually, it just needs to be in the right direction, and I didn't think about taking the boat all the way back to Roanapura."

"If you don't take a boat...... What kind of transportation will you use? ”

"When that opportunity comes, you'll know for sure."

In fact, Gu Wu wanted to fly by himself halfway.

Even if he doesn't have a good grasp of flying ability, even if the world will weaken his flying skills, if he uses it wholeheartedly to hurry, I believe it won't be greatly weakened.

To put it simply, Gu Wu planned to move in the air in the second half of the journey through the ability of the 'Senluo Vientiane', after all, compared to taking a boat and being strong, flying was obviously the fastest way to get there.

Of course, these all have to be judged according to the situation on the scene, if there is enough time, Gu Wu will naturally not risk using his flying ability to soar in the sky with Locke.

As mentioned before, this world has a weakening effect on supernatural abilities such as 'Senluo'.

The system did keep Gu Wu and Altaïr from ejecting Gu Wu and Altaïr from this world, but only when they lived here and didn't do anything.

If Gu Wu and Altair used that kind of ability that was too powerful at the same time, they would definitely be greatly weakened by the world, which was not the result Gu Wu wanted.

"Yo! Good morning, both of you! I'm here to pick you up! ”

The pilot on the ship greeted the two men, who were the middlemen who had sent everyone over last time.

"I'm going to trouble you again this time."

"It's okay, after all, that's what my job is, and what about the people who travel with you? Really going to act separately? ”

"After all, this event is a bit special."

"That...... I also know, I have to say that it is quite a bad thing, and I hope the captain will be safe; But you have to remember to keep in touch often, when I used to participate in the operation with my companions, it was a big negligence due to lack of communication, which became the reason why I came here to be a driver. ”

The driver's tone sounded a little helpless, and the horror of his past memories was not good for him at all.

Everyone in this world has their own story, Gu Wu doesn't think they are just simple NPCs, and has a lot of respect for them who are seriously alive.

Serious guys deserve admiration, and non-serious guys should be punished.

That being said, there are times when reality is completely different from what you think, and compromise is the best option.

However, Gu Wu never thought of compromising with this world, compromising with his own world.

Even if you can't change the world, you must change the plot that is attached to the world and live in the world.

"Gu Wu, don't be stunned there, I'm afraid there will be a lot of problems to deal with after I go back."

Locke, who got on the boat first, reminded Gu Wu to stand in place, so he ran up quickly.

Fortunately, Gu Wu did not have the attribute of seasickness, which he himself was very glad about, after all, seasickness and motion sickness were a very uncomfortable thing.

"I'll take a shortcut this time, after all, the captain also asked me to get you to your destination quickly, but there will be some tricky problems in that sea."

"Referring to the patrolling maritime police and individual seas?"

"That's right, as Mr. Locke said, that area of the sea, even though it is under the control of the Navy, still does not prevent crime, just as Roanapura, as it is known as the 'Paradise for Criminals', has existed to this day."

Gu Wu listened to their conversation and knew very well that he might run into trouble, but his copying skills had already cooled down, and he had also copied Altair's 'Senluo Vientiane'.

To put it bluntly, as long as he is not an opponent as strong as Altair, Gu Wu has nothing to worry about.

So is there that kind of invincible character in "Black Reef"?

The answer is yes, but the invincibility of Black Reef is only for 'humans', such as the maid named Robert.

But no matter how powerful it is, human beings have limits, so Gu Wucai, who has superpowers at this moment, didn't worry about the troubles that might arise next.

If there is one problem he cares about now, it must be Altaïr's side.

"Mr. Ducky, they asked you to go back immediately, no doubt to confront the military forces at sea, I don't know how strong you are, but there are risks."

Locke, who said this, interrupted Gu Wu's thoughts, and then he continued what he had just said

"So what do you think? Gu Wu. ”

"Before answering this question, I would like to ask Mr. Locke the reasons for his offer to go with me, and to be honest...... You can't help now. ”

"It's a bit of a stretch, I'm a ...... But ah, I'm not the kind of family that likes to sit still, and I've given up my old self, so I'm going to do something about it now that I'm believing in Levy and Altair. ”

Locke's idea is not to 'come in handy', but to 'find a way to come in handy', one is the result, the other is the process, and has a completely different meaning.

"It's worthy of the protagonist......"

"The hero? Do you mean the most important character in the work? If only I were that kind of character, after all, then I could take care of everything. ”

Locke said this in a somewhat self-deprecating tone.

However, Gu Wu's speech just now was not meant to be mocking, so he immediately made additions.

"I just think Mr. Locke is very good. As for the reason I did this, it was mostly for myself......"

Gu Wu said that he was not the kind of character who saved the common people, but a selfish guy, so most of his actions were for himself.

"For yourself? Strange statement, because you don't need to be involved in it at all. ”

"Not really."

Gu Wu, who answered immediately, added again

"It's just that it's not good to see the world."

So move forward, so those guys.

————

When the warm sunlight turned into sunset, and then the setting sun was engulfed by the horizon, Gu Wu began to communicate with Altair.

The content of the connection is to say the current situation.

[This side has been confirmed, and is preparing to take action, it is estimated that all the problems will be solved by noon tomorrow, and you should remember to flee after twelve o'clock in the morning, I believe you yourself understand. 】

"Thanks for reminding me, if I really encounter such a situation, I will definitely flash people as soon as possible, after all, the practice of risking my life is an act that I hate a lot."

[It's good to know, contact when the time comes.] 】

After the communication with Altaïr ended, Gu Wu handed the communicator to Locke again, and he said that he wanted to warn Levi who stayed there.

Listening to the conversation between Locke and Levi, Gu Wu, who was enjoying the evening breeze at sea, asked the young man driving the ship.

"What is your reason for joining the Moscow Hotel?"

"Me? Actually, unlike the captains who had experience in war, I was originally just a guy who liked to cheat and cheat, because I had an accident with them. ”

Turning the rudder, the young man picked up on what he had just said, confirming the direction.

"It's not that I'm actively related to them, it's passive...... I guess it's fate or something. Yes! I learned the phrase 'fate' from my friend, who was a religious believer who muttered 'revelation' and 'destiny' every day. ”

Gu Wu is not a person of faith.

Whether it is a god or a god, Gu Wu does not have any good feelings about things that cannot be seen, touched, or heard.

There was no way, fake things didn't have much value in Gu Wu's eyes.

Of course, this is not talking about stocks and virtual currencies, those things have a certain foundation, so Gu Wu is more in the gods and Buddhas of the heavens.

Gu Wu thinks that he will come so far, and he is more inclined to the interpretation of 'his own choice' than the practice of 'arrangement of fate'.

"What about you? You seem to be valued by the captains, and you are obviously younger than me...... Are people already so good now? Obviously, I've tried my best. ”

"People with talent are working hard, so no matter how hard ordinary people try, they may not be able to reach that level; But don't get me wrong, I'm not calling myself a genius, because I'm also an ordinary person, but ......"

Gu Wu, who was lying on the seat, looked up at the starry sky.

"You don't have to compare yourself with others to do things, as long as you are better than your original self, that's enough."

Whether it is the self-comfort of being regarded as a weakling, or the self-hypnosis of being regarded as a loser, anyway, Gu Wu believes that progress is progress, and it does not necessarily have to surpass others.

"Yes, yes, your idea is good, but what you need now is to compare."

The young man, who was the driver, did not deny Gu Wu's statement, but only put forward the current requirements.

That's right......

Some guys just like to seek comfort by proving that they are superior to others, which is not wrong, but it is not necessarily the right one.

At the end of the day, it's all about yourself.

"Are we coming?"

Locke, who had finished the communication, accosted the pilot, and the young man standing there raised his left hand and pointed to the island in front of him while operating the rudder with his right hand.

"Just go around it, but fortunately I didn't have any problems this time, if it's time...... It's going to take about 30 minutes. ”

"Well, then I'll take a break."

Locke lay down like Gu Wu, but he looked much more tired than Gu Wu.

Gu Wu, who was the first to lie down, was actually not so calm on the surface, he knew the enemies he might face next, and he also understood the impact of the world on him.

However, if you become nervous before you act, the chance of making a mistake will increase.

Be quiet, calm down, don't panic, just think about the great abilities you have.

"It's not a good night tonight."

Gu Wu muttered and gradually closed his eyes.

————

The fast-sailing ship suddenly slowed down, but Gu Wu, who was lying on it, felt a violent shaking instead.

He opened his eyes and found that Locke was calling himself up.

I didn't expect to end up sleeping on my own......

"Hey, wake up, we're here."

"Mr. Locke...... Thirty minutes have passed. ”

"They've also arranged for a car to pick you up and get out of here before more people find out."

Nodding, Gu Wu followed Locke towards the docks.

"Thank you."

"It's okay! Hope to see you soon! ”

The young man who was thanked by Gu Wu smiled and waved his hand, and then drove the ship to another docking area, intending to rest there.

Gu Wu, who got into the car, saw that the driver was not the one before, but it didn't matter.

Before Gu Wu, who was about to ask, could speak, Locke said what he thought.

"How's it going?"

"Captain, they are discussing, and since other forces have also joined in, everyone has begun to think about 'negotiating peace', after all, if there is a direct conflict, there will be no benefit here."

The driver of the car was right, if he resisted, it would only make the whole thing darker.

The other party has the 'name of righteousness' and holds high the 'banner of justice', so all actions on this side will be regarded as 'counterattack by the wicked'.

"Peace...... I don't think those guys are going to let this end so easily. ”

Hearing Locke say this, Gu Wu, who lived in the back parking space, agreed.

It is the time of the election, and after the peace talks will be quickly over, as if the billowing smoke had finally dissipated into the sky; And with the preparations, arrangements, and plans for doing so, the group led by Moira's father, 'Molton Rodney', naturally did not let the plan be aborted.

"Didn't Mr. Locke say he was going to talk to them before?"

Gu Wu ...... You know what the premise of the conversation is, right? It's important to have something that both parties are interested in. ”

"So there's going to be war."

"That's the worst possible outcome."

Roanapura will fail, and that's the answer.

Gu Wu's purpose is only to protect Locke, and it will end tomorrow night after twelve o'clock, he can indeed escape now.

But if he really had to make that choice, Gu Wu wouldn't have appeared here.

"Time is ...... Eleven o'clock in the evening. ”

There was still an hour left for the ability duration, which was more than enough for Gu Wu.

"Let's get it done quickly."

Gu Wu emphasized to Locke, after all, his time is now 1S less than 1S.
