When it came to one o'clock in the morning, the air at sea was a little humid and cold, but due to the summer season, the cold air did not penetrate into the bone marrow and was still within the acceptable range.

Standing at the front of the deck, Gu Wu looked at the sea from afar, and occasionally saw the scattered late-returning fishing boats and cargo merchant ships that bypassed this area, their lights were like ghost fires floating in the night, flickering and bright, and finally sailing to Roanapura in the distance in the sound of the waves.

People are still alive as always, and Gu Wu, who is a part of it, feels like a flat boat, floating on the vast sea, and it is not clear if he will encounter a storm that swallows everything tomorrow.

The vision was withdrawn from the sea, and the gas Gu Wu breathed with a hint of burnt smell, and beyond that, the smell of the sea tide, cheered up, and he began to think and plan for future actions.

Gu Wu's mission is to protect Locke, but in his opinion, this mission is not just a simple protection, after all, with Altaïr joining, he has more things to do in an instant.

There are not many events caused by one person, but after two people reach three people, the various events formed by overlapping will multiply.

Conservation is indeed a task that Gu Wu must complete, and in addition to this, Altaïr's ideas are also very important in Gu Wu's opinion.

Such an idea does not come from any sense of justice, and at the same time, it has nothing to do with heroic style, but for Gu Wu, the practice of helping others still depends on the situation.

Some people deserve help, and some people don't.

Fortunately, everyone now has some information about the incident, and Gu Wu has made a simple summary and sorting in his mind.

"The night at sea feels no different from the night on land, but I hate the feeling of floating."

At this time, Altair, who walked to Gu Wu's side, took the lead in opening a topic, and Gu Wu, who heard her say this, couldn't help but look at his feet.

The steel deck was very hard, and with the exception of the bridge, which was destroyed by Altair first, the other functions of the ship were relatively complete, but it was impossible to use it again.

"The feeling of floating is uncertain, in fact, I don't like it very much, but this kind of situation, such an encounter is also a norm, right?"

For some reason, Gu Wu has always liked the word 'normal' recently, probably because of the previous conversation......

The direction of progress and the gains you will get are all uncertain, and even if you have a detailed plan, you still have to feel that the status quo has changed in the end.

Unless a person has the title of truly 'strongest', everything he does must be changed according to the status quo and some degree of compromise must be made.

"But now there is a feeling of 'another village', which in my country means 'suddenly enlightened', knowing that the kidnapped little girl was not the focus of their attention, and the commander above the rescuers really wanted to deal with the city of Roanapura."

"So it's a little strange, why are the kidnappers so attached to that little girl?"

Altaïr made his own analysis of the current situation.

"They should be angry, even ...... when they are rejected. Tearing up the ticket, as a result, they have no choice on either side, and they want to continue to catch the little girl, that is, 'Moira Rodney', no matter how you think about it, it is not cost-effective. ”

"The rejected kidnappers may think that the other party is just trying to be strong, right? Then again, who attacked those kidnappers? ”

Thinking of this question, Gu Wu set his eyes on the people of the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce.

Levy and Locke were the first to rescue Moira Rodney, and they must have discovered something when they were at the scene.

Of course, these are all Gu Wu's guesses, and the real situation can only be clarified after talking.

"Asked once before...... Altair: Is the reason you care about that girl because she was betrayed? ”

I saw someone similar to Shimazaki Satana, so I wanted to lend a hand......

This was just one of Gu Wu's guesses, and he wouldn't impose all of this idea on Altair

"Whether it's or not, it doesn't make sense for the status quo, and your doubts have no value in this conversation."

Altaïr, who avoided it, seemed to want to end the conversation.

Looking at the girl's side face, Gu Wu was quite supportive of her approach.

There are a little more than six days left in this world, and there is really no point in staying in one place and doing nothing.

Gu Wu wanted to rest, but since Altaïr had said so, it was a little unreasonable to continue to insist on his previous thoughts.

Thinking of the time when he had an argument with someone before, Gu Wu felt that the reason for the conflict came from the sense of disagreement between each other, and if he accepted each other's ideas, the cooperation could still become very smooth.

In the final analysis, Gu Wu wanted to see what Altaïr planned to do and what he could do.

Just like the job of 'agent', Gu Wu only provides an opportunity, as for whether he can grasp the opportunity, it depends on the ability of these people.

However, Altaïr seemed to have misinterpreted Gu Wu's statement just now, and she frowned slightly, showing a not very happy expression.

All in all, Gu Wu immediately explained.

"Anyway, that's what it seems to me, you have such a delicate side."

"Are you making fun of me?"

"No, absolutely not."

Well, it seems that it has been misinterpreted......

"Hey, we're leaving!"

Benny shouted from the side of the deck, he had no intention of staying in such a dangerous place.

Still holding two guns in her hands, Levy pointed her guns at Second Lieutenant Wiblen and his men, who were imprisoned on the ground with their arms tied.

The soldiers looked horrified, and Second Lieutenant Wiblen let out a lament, he also knew that their actions were obviously aimed at destroying the lair of others, destroying the city where others lived, and it was not impossible to be easily forgiven.

However, Levy did not pull the trigger.

"You guys, don't come here again! If you're here, don't let people be disappointed! ”

Levi's roar confused the soldiers, and Locke and Dutch, who were on either side of her, each raised their hands and pressed down on the muzzle of her gun.

"We should go back too, they don't have combat strength anyway, so it's impossible to swim over."

Dutsy pressed the muzzle of his gun and left, and Locke nodded.

"They'll pay the price these days, Mr. Ensign, and your superiors won't attack right away, will they? Because you know very well what kind of city Roanapura is and what kind of people it has. ”

With that, the group left the ship and left it to float alone on the sea.

————

Back on the yacht, a relieved Benny wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands.

"To be honest, I was really shocked when the other party's bridge exploded, Gu Wuhe ...... Miss Altair, you're exaggerating, aren't you? ”

The yacht's engine was set to work, and Ducky laughed as he controlled the yacht's gradual turn.

"There are a lot of weird guys in this world! I'm more concerned about whether they're our allies than digging for detailed information, and of course they're partners now! ”

There is indeed a difference of interest in officialdom, but there is only a difference between friend and foe on the battlefield, and information is more important to a warrior than money, gender, height, appearance, whether it is a friendly army, and where to defeat the enemy.

Gu Wu naturally would not be an enemy of the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce, and Altaïr was also their ally, but there were more important things to talk about than this.

"You talk, I'll sleep first, and then call me when I get to the goal."

Levy is more willing to go into a dream and think about various problems than the summary meeting in reality.

"There are two enemies in total."

Lighting a cigarette, Locke, who was sitting on the top of his seat, spoke.

The Black Reef Chamber of Commerce involved in the incident does have two enemies, the kidnapper and the rescuer.

"Now we understand the intentions of the rescuers, the real purpose is to use an operation like 'rescue' to fight the forces of Roanapura, presumably above them is the parliamentarian of this country, and it may also be the father of the kidnapped girl's little girl, 'Moira Rodney'."

Locke's words were echoed by Benny.

"It's really tricky to be targeted by someone like that!"

"Mr. Benny, you're sure to find information about the Councillor."

"That's true, after all, many of the last names of the councillors are not repeated, and they have many different family environments, so it takes a little time to find out exactly what is going on, but most of it is public."

Benny spread his hands as he said that.

"Because my equipment is a little lacking, it's definitely not my lack of strength!"

The emphatic Benny said after a while that he also wanted to take a break, so he also withdrew from the chat.

"What are you going to do?"

Now that the ship was quiet, Altaïr looked at Locke after smoking, and she was still a little concerned about their actions.

"What's next...... Because Balalaika gave us this opportunity, and we will pay for it, so naturally we found her as soon as possible, you must know that in the city of Roanapura, there are not many guys who are willing to lend a hand to us, boss, don't you? ”

"That's undeniable, but Balalaika is not an idle person who has nothing to do, and the rewards she offers and the tasks she gives may only be the first step."

"Even then, we don't have many options."

"It's really not much, and instead of continuing to go it alone, finding a reasonable and trustworthy guy to work with is the real right thing to do."

"That's right, the actions on the Balalaika side will help us improve the situation."

Speaking of which, Locke took out a second cigarette, but after seeing Altair's expression, he chose to give up.

"One more point."

Locke, who put away his cigarette, looked at Roanapura, who was lit up in the distance, and continued

"That little girl does have the potential to be a pivotal point, and even if she loses a lot of value after a failed trade, it doesn't mean she can easily ignore it."

————

It's finally here!

Back in Roanapura, Benny touched the ground with his hand, feeling relieved that he hated the feeling of sailing on the sea.

Looking at Benny, who was almost lying on the ground, Levi kicked his ass with her foot, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

"How? Is it down-to-earth? ”

"Bastard! It's super painful! ”

Locking the boat, Ducky, who walked ahead, reminded the two of them not to mess around, after all, they had to meet with Balalaika now.

Because staying in the port was too conspicuous, everyone moved to a nearby place with a better view after discussion, and planned to take a break and rush to the meeting place.

Surprisingly, the men who were chasing them before weren't ambushed in the harbor, maybe those guys were just a whim, because it wasn't the responsibility of the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce in the first place.

"Gu Wu ......"

Hearing Altair beside him calling his name, Gu Wu looked over.

"What happened?"

"Someone is following us."

"That's a lot of fun."

At the same time, the reverse is also a bunch of self-deprecating guys.

————

In the early hours of the morning, the harbor was broughtled by the sea breeze, so Moira and Barney took refuge behind nearby houses, both to avoid the cold wind and to hide their figures.

"Can you really meet it?"

"Not necessarily accurate, but at least it's much better than running around like a headless fly, and that old lady with information is not a businessman who can deceive people casually."

"I don't believe ......"

Moira didn't believe in the old lady who was dressed for divination, but now she had only one choice, acting with Barney, after all, Barney knew how to live in this city, not like Moira, who had a lot of things in front of him, which was a bit confusing.

Soon a yacht appeared in the harbor in the early hours of the morning, and the people walking down it were the members of the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce that Moira had met!

When she saw a man being kicked to the ground by a woman, she was even more convinced that it was them.

"Wait."

Grabbing Moira who tried to run out, Barney pointed to the last two to come down.

It's a young man and a young girl, and Barney, who has an influence on them, doesn't know whether they're good or bad, and if they are rashly contacted, there is a certain risk.

"There are other people around, so I think it's better to be cautious."

"Yes, that makes sense."

Moira nodded, so she and Barney left where they were, making a circle before sneaking behind them.

There were six of them, Moira and Barney slowed down in order not to let them find out, the distance was relatively far, but fortunately, Barney knew the surrounding environment, as long as the other party did not deliberately enter the house to hide, Barney was able to easily bypass, which is also a skill he has learned many times in escape......

However, this skill is not applicable to the incident in front of you today, because in less than a minute, Barney with Moira was discovered by the two people who had met!
