There are four members of the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce, plus Gu Wu, Altair, Moira, and Barney, the number has increased to eight, but fortunately, the room is relatively large, with enough sofas and chairs.

Gu Wu, who looked around, glanced at the pendulum clock hanging on the wall, the time had come to two o'clock in the morning, he ran to the window and looked out, it was almost dark in his field of vision, only scattered lights flickered.

The brightest of all is the tallest lighthouse, which serves to guide the late returning fishing boats and early departures, and the flickering lights are like the sun at night, shining on the sea outside the city.

Although Gu Wu knew the value of the lighthouse, he considered himself adventurous and cautious, and he did not like to rely on others to guide him forward.

Just like every task released by the system, Gu Wu hates the feeling of being manipulated in his life, although the way forward under the light is clearly visible, but at the same time, it will also make people forget the darkness around them because of that light, maybe there is still the hope he needs most hidden in those darkness.

Of course, the 'lighthouse' has a number of benefits, at least its alerts allow people to spot disturbing traps before they occur, so that they can be destroyed or bypassed.

But in the final analysis, although Gu Wu wants a smooth sailing life, he can't accept the established fact that he has been arranged by others, because he wants to control his own life, not to move forward on the road of establishing a good one.

Such an idea is indeed very contradictory, but Gu Wu thinks that such a contradiction is normal and within the scope of common sense.

There are even prejudiced people in this world who regard heroes as stupid people, so what is impossible?

Gu Wu, who had moved his gaze, looked at the area near the lighthouse, the people who lived here had now entered a rest time, even if they would turn their guns on the enemy during the day, they would still run to the beds at night to rest.

Gu Wu thinks that rest is very important, and it is not a smart thing to keep it tense all the time, after all, only by relaxing can you do the next thing.

As for the current Gu Wu, he thinks that the current life is neither very dangerous nor tricky, but he just lacks some information.

Besides, this is also something that Gu Wu has to do by the way, and no matter whether he succeeds or fails, it will not have any impact on him.

The little girl named 'Moira' was abandoned by her own father, but now it seems that she is extremely strong, and Gu Wu does not think that Moira is a weakling.

Everyone is desperate for the future, Gu Wu will not treat others as special objects, whether they fail or not, Gu Wu first cares about his own task.

Before Balalaika arrived, Altaïr had come to the window like Gu Wu, dressed in civilian clothes and looking like an ordinary girl, but her inner thoughts were completely unusual.

"That little girl has her own purpose, but it seems to me that her purpose will most likely end in failure, after all, she is not capable enough and does not have enough hole cards."

Hearing Altaïr say this, Gu Wu felt that the little girl was like a fisherman in the town, taking risks to act, and could never defeat the sea as the greatest enemy.

It is better to say that the life of fishermen is better, they do not go out to fish in the morning and rest in the afternoon.

It's just that Moira is different, his risk is continuous, and even if she is allowed to return to her own home, the misfortune for her will not go away.

"So what? I'm not trying to emphasize anything, but one thing I can affirm. ”

Gu Wu did not oppose Altaïr's approach from the previous to the present, nor did he agree with it.

Looking at Altaïr's pair of eyes, Gu Wu continued

"It seems to me that your help to her is also very normal, after all, there is always someone who will lend a helping hand to the weak."

The noble knight will wield a spear to drive away thieves and trample through the enemy camp with his iron horse, even if Altair is not a righteous companion, what she has done so far is enough to call it justice.

But......

"But we don't have enough intelligence, and if all we know so far is true, then we will not face a group of enemies, a ship, but an army."

The reason why good can triumph over evil is not because evil dies on its own, but the only simple reason it has is that 'good is many times more powerful than evil'.

Unlike the crusaders in Europe who held high the papal banner in the past, because they fought only for the believers, true justice fought for the 'absolute majority'.

Of course, some people will say that the police protect a person is also justice, but the premise is that the justice of protecting that person is in line with the law and the ideas of the majority, so isn't it indirectly safeguarding the justice of the majority?

"To put it bluntly, we are not righteous people, if we want to fight an army on the premise of protecting the target, no matter how powerful we are, it is impossible to be foolproof."

Altaïr is very powerful, and Gu Wu admits that her 'Senluo Viential' is very aggressive no matter what world she is placed in, and can put her owner in the forefront.

However, the use of the ability will not be ejected by the world, but will be weakened by the world, in case such a weakening suddenly increases......

Gu Wu would explore the darkness beyond the lighthouse, but that didn't mean he would like to trigger traps while crawling, he wasn't that stupid.

"It's not about justice, I don't need to get into those completely unrelated topics, I just want to make those who don't like it pay the price."

"It's like an unscrupulous girl when she was a student......"

"If you find it troublesome, just take the target away, and I'll take care of the rest, what do you think?"

Boats are useless and useless without waterways.

Gu Wu's dependence on Altai is naturally not as close as the boat and the water, after all, he was also a man who came slowly in the past, and Gu Wu who has lived to the present is not weak.

"That's fine, but I'm not afraid to let you do it alone."

The current Gu Wu is indeed not as powerful as Altaïr, and even then he has no intention of acting separately.

This is not just Gu Wu's own thoughts, there is another reason......

When staying in the world created by the system, Gu Wu was asked by Shimazaki instantly, hoping that he could take good care of Altair.

You must know that having great power does not mean that there is no risk, and the emperors from ancient times to the present day have also been dragged down from the throne by others?

In Gu Wu's view, strength is only an integral part of life, important is important, but not everything.

Moira and Barney, who sat on the sofa in the corner, could find something beyond their strength, which was one of the reasons why they lived until now.

So the negotiation between the two ended and a common goal was determined, that is, while protecting Locke, they would take action to solve the troubles that could be solved.

The starting point for this is not a sense of justice or compassion, but a dislike for those who do things.

If you don't accept it, you will do it, and you will look down on life and death, which does seem to be a rather stupid sentence, but sometimes people can't bear those things.

Whether weak or strong, there are decisions to turn the status quo around.

————

It took ten minutes for Balalaika to appear at the door, and when she entered, she was followed by two bodyguards, and then she chose a sofa specially left for her and sat down.

Dressed in the coat of the Russian Airborne Forces and with a half-smoked cigar in her mouth, Balalaika could be seen to have war scars on the right side of her face, neck and chest, but this had no effect on her, undisguised.

Her personality is cold-blooded, but not entirely unsympathetic.

Faced with this decisive and ferocious woman, Moira and Barney naturally hid in the corner, and Ducky sat in front of her.

"A few more new faces, are you still recruiting troops during this period?"

Balalaika looked around, and finally focused on Ducky in front of him.

"How is it possible, the collaborator they met on the way, the little girl over there...... Did you know that she was the target of the kidnappers? ”

"I know, this is also the reason for entrusting you Black Reef, in addition to believing in your abilities, you also need a chance, right?"

"Of course we need a chance, the headquarters has been blown up by those hateful guys, and now we have to watch out for the remaining kidnappers, the upcoming supporters, and the troops who rescue the hostages in the name of 'justice', they all see us as enemies or disruptors."

The Black Reef Chamber of Commerce is currently in an awkward position, which can be said to be a dilemma.

The first is to face the kidnappers here, who are considered hostile because of their relationship with Moira;

The second is the government army that intends to use the opportunity to save Moira to strike at Roanapura, and they will naturally not let go of the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce that transports contraband.

"Miss Balalaika, can you tell us what you know?"

"It's the enemy's trick."

Balalaika looked at Ducky in front of her and said the above lines.

"The enemy's tricks? It can't be the trouble caused by those opponents of the eldest sister, right? ”

Hearing Levi say this, Balalaika shook her head.

"It's not my opponent, it's just that they care more about the 'Moscow Hotel', and the real purpose is the city, Roanapura."

"Wait......"

Locke, who had been silent and gathering information, scratched his hair.

"As troublesome as it sounds, you said that your opponent's target was Roanapura, and the information we found in the intelligence provided proves that the men on board were trying to attack Roanapura, if you want to put it simply...... Is the city the real focus? ”

"Locke is right, the value of Roanapura is not simply for you to enjoy wine and find work."

"Well...... Its real role lies in 'safekeeping' and 'transfer'. ”

There are words in Locke's words, which are actually very easy to understand.

"Most of the goods of the surrounding forces will transit through here, and if you get into trouble, you can hide it, and if you think of the sea as a dangerous highway, then Roanapura is a motel on the way, if not as safe as you think, at least you don't have to worry about pirates and storms."

Balalaika, who took a puff of her cigarette, affirmed, and then turned her gaze to Moira.

Moira, who became the center of attention, tensed up, which made Barney, a young man who had been hanging out in Roanapura for many years, also nervous.

The two underage children looked at Balalaika, whose right side of her face was covered with burn marks, and they wanted to say something, but in the end, Balalaika snatched the conversation.

"Moira Rodney, I originally thought you still had some value, but the reality is different from what I imagined, as the fuse, you have completed your mission, so find a way to try to live."

"You, are you saying that I'm useless?"

"That's right, in fact, whether it's the kidnappers or the rescuers who plan to come, their real purpose is not you."

Balalaika looked at the crowd.

"Your information is that the helpers are planning to attack Roalapura, and what we know is that the gang to which the kidnappers belong is trying to use the hands of the government to attack us and replace the forces here; Although the Moscow Hotel is not a rescue organization, it is also our territory, and you Black Reef also need to communicate with other organizations. ”

"I see."

Dutsy flicked his wrist, knowing that what was going to happen was going to be even more troublesome.

At this time, Moira in the corner mustered up his courage, and he walked to the table between Balalaika and Daqi under the gaze of everyone.

"I can ......"

"Say you're worth."

Balalaika interrupted Moira.

"I'm afraid you're just going to be a tool for them to continue to provoke others."

Hearing this, Moira didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Locke looked at Moira.

"How about we make announcements directly to outsiders via video or livestream? Tell them that Moira Rodney, who they are looking for, is safe. ”

"That's a way."

Balalaika said yes, and Levi on one side also nodded repeatedly, but Balalaika quickly said no

"What do you think would be the effect of releasing a video like this during this period? If you show up, you'll be considered a criminal, and if you don't, you'll threaten her, and it's not the right thing to do. ”

Balalaika, who had experienced the war, didn't think the world was so tender, all she wanted to do was to win.

"Then go find them."

Altaïr picked up on what Balalaika had just said.

Altaïr then turned his gaze to Moira.

"You have the consciousness to fight."

"Yes!"

Got an affirmative answer.

"Then go and do it."

Although the consultation did not reach a real conclusion, everyone had a way forward......
