December 3, 2219, dusk.

Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

"I hate boats." As he said this, Sakaki was standing on the side of a small yacht, listlessly gazing at the undulating sea.

Although the sunset over the sea was very beautiful, he was not in the mood to appreciate it at all.

Because...... He's "running away".

There were two other people who ran away with him, one was Masako, our queen of the gambling world, Prince Masanai Morimiya who always looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old; And the other...... It's the "veteran", Tholid Wilson.

"Why?" Hearing Sakaki's complaints, Masako, who was leisurely drinking juice on the deck chair on the second floor of the yacht, smiled and said sarcastically, "I heard that you are very good at swimming." ”

Obviously, it is impossible for a character like Masako to be ignorant of the original "Clover Cruise Incident", and she even knows what lines Sakaki said at that time when she got rid of Ashu and Hanazuka's pursuit.

"Isn't it because if you continue to stay on the boat that you will die?" Sakaki replied, "That just shows why I hate boating, okay?" ”

"Indeed...... Looks like something bad is going to happen to you as soon as you get on the boat. The next second, Solid, who was also standing on the side of the boat smoking a cigar, suddenly opened his mouth to answer.

Although Sollid spoke in the same calm tone most of the time, because of the long time of contact, Sakaki and Masako could hear the subtle changes; At this moment, for example, they all heard that Solid had entered a state of alert and had something to say.

So, when Solid finished speaking, Masako had pushed the sunglasses on her face to her forehead, got up and went to the side of the boat to look out, and Sakaki also turned her head to look in the direction that Solid was looking.

In that bright sunset, they saw three people - three people "walking" on the sea.

One is a skinny white man, the other is a strong man who is described as a ghost, and the other is a slender white middle-aged man.

"Hey...... We've all slipped out to sea in advance, so can we all be found? "Sakaki said this to Solid.

Solid shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Generally speaking, the information given by Zhang San will not be flawed; I also exchanged messages with him just now, confirming that Yan Wuxian has returned to the reverse cross, and Ah Xiu has also been dealt with. He paused, "But...... He didn't say a word about the existence of this 'other group of people'. ”

"So?" Sakaki had roughly understood what Sollid meant, but he still wanted the other party to make it clear.

"So......" said Solid, "this should be a 'parting gift' from Zilin." ”

As for the "parting" in his mouth, I have to go back......

…………

Yesterday, December 2nd, Zilin promised Sakaki, Masako, and Solid to resign from all their positions in the Sixth Reich and set them free.

The reason for letting Masako go is very simple, first of all, Masako didn't want to continue to be involved with the Sixth Reich for a long time, she was not very interested in the high-ranking officials in the system, and she only continued to stay because "it is safer to stay on the side of the victor"; Recently, after seeing what Zilin did to the leaders of other organizations, Masako has become more and more afraid, afraid that if she disobeys the emperor's wishes one day, she will also end up in the same fate, so her intention to go has become stronger and stronger.

Secondly, after the success of the operation on December 3, Masako's father, Takamiya Ryohito, will get Axiu's body through a brain transplant, and once he gets Axiu's body, he can come back to lead the "Shenwu Society" by himself, and he no longer needs Masako to do it for him. Further, Ah Xiu's body is still very young and has sound fertility, and after adapting to the new body, Chonggong Lianren can have several healthy and "obedient" children, and cultivate and select one of them as his new heir.

In this case, Masako, the current heir who is neither obedient nor physiologically impossible to have a future, naturally becomes a useless existence, even to the obstruction of Takanomiya Ryohito; Although there is also a father-daughter relationship between them, a person like Chonggong Lianren, who has a strong feudal emperor complex, will not be entangled too much in such a matter as "severing relations with some useless children".

To sum up, letting Masako go is undoubtedly a result that both parties are happy to see.

And then there's Solid......

At the moment when he decided to help Jack, Sollid actually had the consciousness of death; He is not afraid of death, and it is the veteran's long-cherished wish to die before he dies, and to do what he feels right before he dies.

However, surprisingly, after the incident on November 1, instead of killing Solid, Zilin did not even mention it.

Of course, he certainly didn't mention it because he didn't know, and this ...... On the contrary, it makes people feel more numb.

In the end, Solid couldn't help it, and went to talk to Zilin about it, and asked Zilin why he was indifferent; As a result, Zilin replied to him: "As far as you are concerned, what you have done with Jack and them is not out of personal vendetta, but out of martyrdom for your conscience, this point...... We have different views, I can't convince you with my mouth, and I can't make you submit by force, so there's nothing to say.

"For me, the bond of family affection, the thrill of revenge...... I've never been. All I know is that you have succeeded, and you have succeeded in destroying my original plan; If I kill you, Ziqi will not come back, and if I kill you, my original plan will no longer be realized...... Besides, you have already realized death...... I won't be happy to kill you, I won't win, it's completely pointless. ”

The above is what Zi Lin said to Solid on his face.

Enough, but ...... And not all.

There is one more thing that he didn't tell Solid, and there is no need to say it, that is-the true meaning of Solid being pulled into the reverse cross was originally to deal with Ziqi.

In Zilin's original plan, if Ziqi did not act as king for him according to Zilin's wishes, or even had a conflict with Zilin, Solid's "mortal bones" were an insurance left by Zilin to deal with his younger brother.

The "mortal bones" that have reached the fierce level can eliminate some of Ziqi's abilities for a long period of time, and on this basis, the wanderer's "unprecepted words" will have the opportunity to take advantage of the void.

In order to achieve this situation, Zilin also prepared a series of layouts that "let Solid rise to the fierce level in the battle that reaches the limit", however...... Since Ziqi expressed his willingness to cooperate with Zilin at an earlier point in time, this plan did not actually unfold.

Because of this, as early as April, Solid was assigned to Masako's side along with Sakaki and became two big idlers.

Now, Ziqi is also dead, without Zilin's help, Solid will never reach the murder level on his own, so he has also become a useless person, plus he has a good relationship with Sakaki, killing him may offend Sakaki, so let's let it go.

Speaking of which, some people may wonder, is Zilin still afraid of offending people? And is it afraid of offending Sakaki?

The answer is, yes...... And he should be afraid.

The ability of "Sakaki" is actually a kind of "god system", and its godhead corresponds to a nameless god, because this god symbolizes calamity and trouble, so much so that even the name of it is taboo.

Only a few people such as Tianyi, Zilin, and Krause know that Sakaki's ability can't actually be measured by the standards of "paper, and, strong, fierce, mad, and god", of course, it is okay to use this set of standards, after all, his physical destructive power and energy control can always find the corresponding level.

However, in terms of the characteristics of the ability itself, Sakaki's ability makes no difference between the paper level and the god level, that is, it will transfer the "misfortune" that should have befallen him to the people around him in a relatively reasonable form.

In most cases, this ability takes effect immediately, but delayed and chronic metastases are not impossible; Moreover, the more extreme the situation, the more irrational the form and power of the "scourge" become, and there is "no limit".

This self-protection ability, which at first glance seems to be only passively triggered, is actually an incredibly strong anti-heaven divine power......

For example, in "In front of the Gate of the Underworld", the time when Cha Wuchen shot Sakaki: When Sakaki was injured and could die in the formation, the Butterfly of the Underworld suddenly appeared and solved the soul of Qiu Zhengyi, which was an instant trigger.

But that time...... Is it really only Akishoichi who was transferred to "misfortune"?

Indeed, Aki Shoichi was the one who subjectively wanted to kill Sakaki at that time, and it was normal to die, but at that time, he originally wanted to save Sakaki, but in essence, he shot Sakaki's Che Wuchen? Is he really okay?

Obviously, the "delay" effect of the god of calamity did not let him go, and what happened to Che Wuchen later...... Not by chance.

Going a step further, what about instructing Cha Wuchen to attack Sakaki before the action? Was it also a chance that his plans were broken?

Is Sakaki's master "Sakusu Tachikawa", his tragic ending really just "a gambler loses his luck"?

Ah Xiu, who deceived Sakaki for a long time and commanded Hanazuka to kill him, what happened now?

Perhaps, Sakaki's ability is the real answer to Zilin's sentence "Each of us is guilty, no one can hide from the world, no one can escape judgment" - the power in the dark will not let anyone go in the end.

In addition, there is also a situation where "unfortunity" occurs when Sakaki has no one around him.

At that time, his ability will not fail, on the contrary, it will be the most dangerous situation...... For example, when he escaped from the Clover and was almost drowned in the sea, the "misfortune" that happened to him was still accumulated, and evolved into the form of "lightning strike", which finally befell Kaijiu.

Imagine if Sakaki jumped into magma, or into outer space, into the sun or into a black hole...... Then spend days, months, or even years in environments where you can be lethal in an instant...... What will happen?

The "misfortune" accumulated by it may befall a certain being in any unthinkable form, transcending all realms of time, space, reality, and even consciousness and nothingness.

Anyone, even Shi Sanwen, could be defeated by this ability.

Therefore, the reason why Sakaki Muxian was recruited to the Reverse Cross is also obvious - he can stay on the side of the Reverse Cross and do nothing, but he must not be used by any other force, otherwise, no one is safe except for Tianyi.

Today, since Sakaki, like Masako and Solid, has been allowed to "leave" by Zilin, it can only mean one thing...... Zilin has almost cleaned up all the opponents who should be cleaned up, and the only one left who can still set off a little storm is already a flower of tomorrow and his life is on the verge of death.

…………

"What do you mean...... Zilin knew that there was still a group of people coming to hunt us down, but he deliberately asked Zhang San not to tell us, right? Masako heard the conversation between Solid and Sakaki, so she answered at the right time.

"Yes......" Sollid said, "Isn't it a double win to use our three outcasts to weaken the fighting power of Juzun's side?" ”

From the perspective of the three of them, it seems to be the case, after all, they are ...... Even Sakaki himself, he doesn't know the value of "Sakaki".

But from Zilin's point of view, it doesn't actually mean that: he doesn't need to use these three people to weaken Juezun's strength, the plan to deal with Juezun has been set half a month ago, and the combat power in his hands is fully capable of executing this plan.

The reason for Zilin's concealment of information is simply that he has confirmed through the Book of the Heart that Sakaki, Masako, and Sollid are all determined to go into hiding, and that it is impossible for them to join any of the forces again, let alone be "coerced" to join any of them.

And the syndicate's trip is a meritorious and ambitious achievement...... Because of the failure of the last operation, he has been holding his breath to prove himself again, and today he is going to bring Sakaki Mushu back no matter what.

Therefore, this contact between the two sides will inevitably evolve into a confrontational situation in the end, and resort to force, which will further cut off the possibility of Sakaki being recruited by Sakaki.

Of course, Zilin also took into account the development of "Masako and Sollid were killed, so that Sakaki had the idea of revenge, and after killing Juezun, he came back to find himself who was partly responsible", so, for the sake of safety, he still kept a hand and let the dark water lurk in the small boat that Sakaki and they were on in advance, just in case.

If they can figure it out on their own, that's all it would be better; can't solve it, Dark Water comes out to help, Zilin can be regarded as selling personal favors to them, and he won't lose anything.

"Don't get me wrong!" As the syndicate walked on a "blood blanket" and approached the boat, he said to Sakaki, "We just wanted to talk to Sakaki-kun." ”

"I don't think there's anything to talk about between us." Sakaki was also nervous at this time, because he felt that the only one we could fight was Solid, and the three on the other side were undoubtedly all masters, and he was afraid that he would suffer if he really moved, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only give Masako and Solid a look, while trying to delay time with words, "And if you really want to talk, you can just come over alone, right?" The three of us came together and made me a little nervous......"

"What does Lord Juzun mean ......," the syndicate continued, as if he hadn't heard him, "I want Sakaki-kun to go back and talk to us slowly." As he said this, he and the two people behind him did not slow down, but even walked faster and faster.

"Cut ......" Sakaki snorted secretly, he had already seen that the other party had no intention of compromise, so he simply replied in a very unceremonious tone, "I didn't accept Ah Xiu's invitation on the Clover at the beginning, and now I can't ...... it."

"For a moment! At that moment! The syndicate interrupted Sakaki in a loud voice, "Aren't you leaving the Reverse Cross now...... Or the Sixth Reich? Presumably you don't agree with Zilin's approach, so you will leave, right? ”

"It doesn't matter who I identify with or who I don't identify with." Sakaki said, "The three of us just want to live the life of ordinary people now, and we don't want to get involved in the struggle between you big people anymore, and we don't want to ...... for a second Shall I beg you to let us go? ”

Hearing this, the syndicate's expression changed slightly, and after two seconds, he shook his head, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The breath he exhaled turned into a sigh.

Hugh and Hanazuka, who were standing beside him, understood what he meant, and in an instant, but when he saw Hanazuka's figure flashing and had jumped into the air, he couldn't help but say anything, and went straight to Sakaki on the ship.
