Chapter 178: A Successful One Who Plans for a Rainy Day? (Final)
Leaving the cafeteria, the duo walked through the deserted streets, a surreal picture of the ruins, burned vehicles, and crumbling roads.
Everything in front of you is like a scene that will only exist after the end of the world, and in addition to those abandoned and destroyed things on the ground, you can also see human corpses from time to time.
Some of them may have been caught by the mob while fleeing for their lives, and finally tortured for no reason, and their skinned flesh was hanging on the street lamp and swaying in the wind.
Of course, there are those who are lucky, who have avoided the initial chaos, escaped the ghoul infection, and then survived the bombardment, and are now hiding in rooms near convenience stores, supermarkets, and shopping malls; Only in those specific areas can there be a chance to find food, but only if 'it does not collapse and burn'.
As they began to move to the left, Hiiragi Hiiragi, who was a little ahead of them, could feel the gaze of those people, and the refugees must have been curious and scared at the same time.
It's late at night, and it must be abnormal for someone who dares to wander the streets at this point in time.
In response to these speculative glances, Anasta on the other side asked the seven or seven Hiiragi who were traveling with him.
"Do you care about the refugees?"
"Why do you say that......?"
"Because you're staring at them all the time, if you're just observing, you don't focus on a specific area, do you? If you only focus on a specific area, it will increase your blind spots, and the chance of being attacked will skyrocket. ”
"I do care a little...... I don't think I've done anything wrong so far, but 'not wrong' doesn't mean 'right', after all, the world is not simply black and white. ”
The world is not black and white, Anasta smiled as she heard this, and she slapped her cheek with her hand.
"So it's true that doing the right thing turns out to be wrong, and doing the wrong thing and then realizing that it is wrong, and the 'right' and 'wrong' as the premise becomes an uncertain factor in the later stage."
The reason for this is naturally because during the plan, the impact of the actions will change with the development of events, and if you are not careful, you may deviate from the original plan and make the plot develop in a direction that you can't imagine, which is a very bad situation.
Anasta followed suit, looking around, the streets looked dilapidated and cluttered, but there were faint figures hidden in the dark floors.
"I've investigated in previous missions, and all the mission participants have an extraordinary past, and it's because of that past that they're selected by the system, so ...... Seven-seven Hiiragi, can I ask what your past was like? ”
"My past...... It doesn't have much to do with it now, does it...... If you really want to know......"
"What to do?"
In response to Anasta's questioning, Hiiragi lifted his hooded head, the moonlight shadows obscuring his eyes, and even then he could see his current expression.
Qiqi Hiiragi, who has always been very bland, smiled at this moment, and the corners of his mouth were not raised high, but he was indeed smiling.
"What's so funny?"
"In the past...... Someone once said something like that to me......"
Hiiragi quickly returned to his usual appearance and continued
"And then none of them lived to the future......"
"I see, do you think that anyone who knows your past will die? Like a video tape in a horror movie that will be put on your body after watching it, your past can't have a cursed effect, right? ”
"I can't deny your opinion either...... Maybe my past is really cursed, that's why I let those people die. ”
"Because of the constant occurrence of such accidents, you take your past as a curse? You, that kind of thought is like a stinky little ghost who is arrogant. ”
Anasta spoke very directly, and had no idea of beating around the bush at all.
Hearing the other party's evaluation, Qiqi Hiiragi made a negative statement.
"That's not accidental, I'm the only one who knows my past."
What does this statement prove?
Qiqi Hiiragi can be said to be alone at the moment, with no family and no friends, if you want to say that the guy he deals with most often, I'm afraid it's the enemy.
"Sure enough, there is really everyone in this world...... Should you say that the system is too powerful to find people, or are you yourself very prominent? ”
"I'm not interested in any of that...... Just want to get things done...... Anasta, you should know why I am willing to cooperate with you, and if I continue like this, I will not need to continue to ally with you. ”
"What a heartless fellow, but you're not wrong with that intention, even I, myself, agree with your idea."
This time, Anasta walked up to Hiiragi, facing the moonlight, her hair shining as if it had been coated with a silver veil.
Then the woman who spoke freely promised
"I'm going to cut their threat and I'm going to get the world to do what we want to do, so that we can fish in troubled waters and find opportunities to 'make a big profit' until we win."
"Won...... won?"
"That's right, isn't it all we want to win?!"
“……”
Silence.
Hiiragi was silent, and Anasta was once again confused.
"What do you want to do with the attribute that people who know their past will die, and who have doubts about victory? Seven Seven Hiiragi...... Are you really human? ”
Engage in battle, but not like it's for the ultimate victory.
This abnormal situation gradually made Anasta unable to read the person in front of her, only that he was a strange fellow.
His companion's questioning slowed Hiiragi down, and he took a deep breath with a lot of force that Anasta could hear clearly.
"My silence was not because I didn't want to win, but because I was thinking about what to do after victory...... This can be seen from this mission...... Our opponents are people who are strong enough to do their best. ”
"So what?"
"The end, ......"
"The end? Is there an end to the task? ”
"Yes, just as there will be a powerful boss at the end of the game, and the enemies we face in this mission are also very powerful, if we defeat them...... What should I do after that......? I don't want to fight this high intensity forever......"
What happens to those who are chosen by the system?
Choosing the right future with victory and glory? Or will they usher in their own end in defeat......
"I can't believe you're thinking about those things."
"Anasta ...... You haven't thought about ......? ”
"I'm not a battle maniac, so I thought about ending it all by something other than 'death', and then I realized that I hadn't found the right way to do it."
"Why? Haven't you tried ......? ”
"That's right."
Anasta affirmed, then continued
"But even if there is such a method, the system that summons you and I will not agree with it, right? In my opinion, the system that guides us to become stronger and give us tasks on the surface is like a distributor who relies on lies and clever words to gain trust, and then quietly discards them. ”
Therefore......
Anasta sighed with some regret.
"Whether it's you or me, for the system, it's mostly just part of the plan, not the focus."
“……”
Seven Hiiragi can't agree, but he can't deny it either.
"Let's talk about what we need to do next."
"Do you want to continue with your previous plan......?"
"That's right, and it will use the power of my subordinates, and I believe they are also the reason for you to join my camp."
"En......"
Hiiragi Hiiragi affirmed, believing that those seemingly inconspicuous mission participants would be extremely powerful once combined.
Because there is no 'absolute power' among the traversers participating in this mission, there is a possibility of being defeated.
Not only that, but Hiiragi thinks that those people will ignore Anasta's men, and this idea is undoubtedly digging a hole for himself.
"As I said before, once they are separated, they are very weak existences, and they do not have the ability to defeat other mission participants, but if they join forces, ......"
"Will double ......"
"One double, two times is not enough, but five times, ten times."
With that, Anasta stared into the distance
"When they were caught by the enemy, they didn't run away, but they didn't run away, otherwise their 'single teleportation' plus 'skill target increase' plus 'effect double' and 'speed increase' still have a high probability of escaping, so they chose to wait, that is, wait and see."
At this, Anasta smiled
"The enemy fled when he killed them, and he observed them without killing them, and then, as it stands, they were not killed, but handed over to the people of the combined army, and it was clear that they gave us a good chance; Even if he is anesthetized and frozen asleep, there are people among those people who can solve that problem, for example, a person who can reverse his physical state once a day, and today just happens, his ability will most likely be refreshed. ”
"What if he's not there......?"
"In his absence, it's our turn to act in person, and according to the previous reports from the ninja subordinates, the person who could use the out-of-body for a certain period of time survived, and that could also be used as a means of calling us over to help."
There are many subordinates with special abilities, and even if only some of them survive, it is difficult to shake its diversity.
"In the past, when I asked my subordinates to exchange skills, I would remind them to choose the right person to match, and I had to focus on compatibility so that they could help each other at all times."
The conversation came to this point, and Anasta, who had paused, continued
"I'll be notified when the time is right, and it's time to take action."
"I see."
"That's good."
At this moment, a ninja dressed in dark blue clothes fell from above.
"Eldest sister, I can't observe the enemy's movements at the moment, only that they are operating in the underground facility."
"Don't worry about those details, let the rest of the people gather, last night is over, today we will start the action from the early hours of the morning."
"Got it!"
The ninja left the scene, and the speed disappeared into the night.
These ninjas are not very combative, but they are very good at detecting intelligence and concealing their whereabouts, which is why Anasta considers them to be one of her core companions.
"So let's get as close to the airfield as possible now, after all, after those guys have transported a group of people, they will definitely send planes back again for investigation and auxiliary operations."
"Maybe it's a fighter ...... then"
"That's no problem, Qiqi Hiiragi, take a good look."
Next up———
"The performance of the weak counterattack, and at that time, we will exchange positions with the enemy!!"
————
The other party is the prey, and we are the hunters.
Gu Wu, who had a few glasses of wine, thought so, he didn't think so because of the stimulation of alcohol, because his amount of alcohol was not bad in itself, and drinking such a little was not a problem at all.
"It's not going to go on like this......"
The first person to speak was the more serious Gascol.
