Undercurrent of misfortune
A state of affairs that is on the verge of triggering
Those who don't know......
Matching Points (Sin)
At some point, the weather outside the window became gloomy, the scorching sun that should have been shining was hidden deep by thick clouds, and the once dazzling blue sky changed like dirty rag-soaked sewage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cloudy days always muddy the air, and the oppressive sultry wind was not cool, and the smell of the gray wind lingered among the trees and bushes in the sidewalk outside, heralding the coming storm.
The darkness approaching the evening finally began to eat away at the world, and time died.
Standing on the balcony, Jasmine sighed, and after declining the invitation of others to taste the wine, she walked towards the exit, the business was almost done, and the rest was Jasmine's free time.
The second meeting was just a refinement of the details of the established plan, and even if some different opinions were raised, Jasmine did not think that she could influence their final decision, and it would be better to watch the replay of the meeting after that if necessary.
In fact, before Jasmine left, people like Bingcheng Chestnut had already bid farewell to this meeting in advance, and for them, the next time was for the powerful to express their opinions; Rather than spend their time here in a mess, they prefer to spend their time in useful places.
It's true that people will always care about what they have at the moment, but they will not be so great as to pay attention to the lives of others every day, especially a group of powerful people who are centered on profit.
This is not an indictment of them, nor is it a mockery of their lack of mercy, which is ironic because what they are doing is too right for the world; What is true cooperation, true understanding? If you are different in race, you can't trust each other for the rest of your life?
Thinking back to what Ahui had done for herself, Jasmine thought she had the ability to make the impossible happen, but she had to find a way to solve the current problem before then.
But when she reached the exit on the first floor, Jasmine, who lifted her skirt and quickened her pace, saw the person standing there, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and the county wine she was carrying had already become empty.
"Your Royal Highness Queen Maurice, I have always wanted to talk to you alone but I didn't find the opportunity, I wonder if I have this free time now? If there's something urgent, it's okay to talk about it later. β
The bishop named Ito Hibertel asked for a conversation, and Jasmine certainly had no reason to refuse, as she tacitly assumed that the conversation was related to Ahui.
Jasmine knows very well that the relationship between the bishop in front of her and Yahui may be regarded as father and son, or as a master and apprentice with a good relationship, but in short, he is not an outsider to Yahui.
Since he is not an outsider of Yahui, Jasmine, who is Yahui's fiancΓ©e, will not treat him as an outsider, and there is no harm in talking about it.
For this reason, Jasmine sent a message to the outgoing Sabas on the terminal in advance, and then followed Bishop Ito towards the secret place of the hotel.
It is also a bit inappropriate to say that it is a secret place, because there are staff who cut flowers and plants in the small garden on the edge of the edge, and several waiters have specially prepared a little appetizer for the two of them, which Jasmine thinks was ordered by Bishop Ito.
Since he had already eaten a lot of it, and he didn't want to overabsorb calories, Jasmine didn't taste the seemingly delicious confectionery, but Bishop Ito tasted it frequently.
"It's rude, Lord Jasmine, I'm afraid you came here not just to trade, but unfortunately that stinky boy is not on Earth now, otherwise I would have to tie him up to meet you."
"There's no need to do that, I don't want to force Yahui-sama to do something she doesn't want to do; Bishop Ito, what are you looking for me for? Is Yahui-sama in danger? β
"Don't worry, that kid is doing well now, but judging from the timing, he is probably going to land on one of the two artificial planets closest to the large space station [Zous] to carry out his reconnaissance mission."
"Reconnaissance mission? Sure enough, the thugs who surrounded the [Zous] space station will replenish supplies in the nearest place, but is it really good to go directly to investigate? In the unlikely event that the enemy discovers and discovers his identity...... Being close to Zous means being close to apostate and space pirates, and there is always a risk associated with it. β
Jasmine didn't want Ahui to be in danger, which is why she was here.
Ito, who was drinking, agreed with Jasmine's analysis, and said slowly as he put his chopsticks aside
"A risk-free security mission can't change the situation, if I were young, I would definitely set off with him to the front line, but now it's impossible......"
Bishop Ito looked at Jasmine, his eyes becoming a little helpless.
"I ran into a little trouble before, and my movement became inconvenient, and I was forced to give this task to Yahui; Even more important...... The people above think that Yahui has a great effect, and even if I keep him around, sooner or later he will be dispatched, so ......"
"So you gave Yahui-sama a mission in advance?"
"That's right, as long as that kid has a mission, he doesn't have to follow the arrangements from above, and he can still act under my command, the problem is that his status as a 'son of God' will invite disaster sooner or later."
Jasmine hears that an aid ship from the Galactic Monastery has recently set off for space, and she thinks Ahui is among them.
"Queen Maurice, you are the ruler of a country and a planet, if you can take good action and use real means to sanction the apostates, I believe that everyone else will really move."
"I understand that too......"
I understand it very well, but Jasmine, as a leader, also has a lot of constraints on her.
The consequences of declaring war are serious, troops, expenditures, treaties, hidden dangers, enemies, everything needs to be thought about and detected slowly; The Maurice are not a race that talks about glory and faith all day long, they are tough but sensitive, and they don't get into trouble for no reason.
And many people know about Jasmine's marriage contract with Yahui, if she makes a direct move, she will definitely be opposed.
"I'm sorry, but I'm powerless right now; It may sound ridiculous, but the name of righteousness is especially important at this time......"
Jasmine wasn't going to reveal more of her own thoughts, even the bishop in front of her, who cared about Yahui.
Using her own means and not beating around the bush to solve the crisis encountered by Yahui is Jasmine's ultimate goal, as for the method......
"I'm delaying you, contact me if you need to. Also, don't take the subway recently, there was an attack on the subway a few days ago, and the bomb destroyed part of the ground track, which is still being rebuilt. β
"Thanks for the reminder."
Jasmine asked
"May I ask what is the current situation of Lord Yahui? His signal terminal was encrypted, making it impossible for me to reach him. β
"As I said earlier, I'm about to land on an artificial planet, and I'll tell you if something goes wrong, as a stupid guy who cares about that stinky boy."
"Thank you...... By the way, I'm not stupid, and I'll find a way to help Yahui-sama. β
"Look at what I said, it's rude."
Jasmine poured Bishop Ito a glass of wine before leaving, and said with a smile
"But I ...... It's a bit of a fool indeed. β
ββββ
Jasmine joins Sabas after her conversation with Bishop Ito.
"Let's get in the car first, we're going to get out of here, if Lord Jasmine needs to change clothes......"
"No need, tell me what's going on."
Sappas, who was waiting in the parking lot, nodded, one of the four guards was in charge of driving, and the group of six left the hotel run by the Galactic Monastery.
With a snap, Sabas placed a small, spherical object in front of Jasmine, which was pried open to reveal delicate electronic circuits and mechanical parts.
"This is a signal tracker, and it has eavesdropping and stealth functions, but fortunately, this thing has a lot of power consumption, and if it weren't for the fact that it automatically reduces the stealth efficiency, they wouldn't have been able to find out, after all, it was made by Brandt."
"Does that mean the rioters and rebels have already infiltrated here?"
"Maybe it's an undercover agent, or maybe it's some chamber of commerce, or maybe it's the Galactic Monastery as the organizer, no matter what the outcome is, the other party wants to find out what we're doing."
"If you want to spy on us, it looks like you have to plan ahead."
The vehicle pulled into the avenue and began to pick up speed, trying to get away from this place of right and wrong, and perhaps the enemy hiding in the shadows was still watching.
Jasmine suddenly thought that it could be done by the Galactic Abbey, but if they wanted to cooperate with them, they should not take such a misunderstood method.
"Other people have trackers of the same size on their vehicles, and I've sent this information to them anonymously, so it's better not to be alarmed."
"yes, if you act rashly, it's likely to irritate those guys."
Jasmine intends to carry out the plan quickly, and before that, she must do something to cause some contradictions and conflicts.
At this time, it was raining in the sky, and outside the window was the sky completely covered with dark clouds, and thunder continued to occur, as if roaring at the earth.
Whoa!! The sound of the rain disappeared as she entered the tunnel, and Jasmine looked at the wet glass, which was quickly shaken away by centrifugal force, leaving a small trace of water stains.
"Sa......
Jasmine, who was about to say the word 'Sabas', was about to ask him to investigate the recent attack, but was interrupted by a sudden collapse!
It's the ground that's crumbling! The vehicle located inside the tunnel is falling downward! Sorrowful screams rang out everywhere, and Jasmine was caught in an instant!
The guards and Sabbas surrounded Jasmine in the middle, and the vehicle in which it fell rolled in a circle, like an uncontrolled football, not heading towards the goal, but falling the ground!
Gravel continued to crash down on hard doors and windows, car sirens cried in the open underground space, and occasionally stones fell on the vehicle; The gap is like a black hole devouring the stars, and this accident continues.
No, is this really an accident?
A groggy Jasmine came to her senses, staggered out of Sabas's arms, and dragged him out of the car.
"Sabas! Sabas! You okay! β
The old cockroach species was still breathing, and it seemed that it had only fainted.
Thanks to the hardness of the vehicle and the protection of Sabas and the guards, Jasmine was only slightly injured, and the others were not so lucky.
The vehicles of unknown passers-by and merchants were so dilapidated by the heavy stones that some of them even caught fire, emitting a stench of burning.
The twisted crunch of steel rang out behind her, and Jasmine saw three guards crawl slowly out of the twisted rubble of the body, each with varying degrees of scratches on their heads and near their arms.
"You're fine, wait, there's another person?"
"Lord Jasmine, you and Lord Sabas must get out of here, as for him...... Not anymore. β
The space in the driver's seat was completely distorted, and I am afraid that the people inside had long since turned into broken, flattened corpses, with no signs of activity.
Jasmine thought for a moment.
"Let's go, go to the rescuers, we have to carry his body out, we must let him go back to his hometown for burial."
The guards looked at each other, nodded, and one of them carried Sabasa on his back, while the other two led the way, and Jasmine, who said she didn't need help, walked in the middle of the group.
Morris's thousand Royal Guards are now stationed near the flagship, and Jasmine intends to contact them, but the signal from the terminal is blocked.
It is already roughly known that this was an attack.
"Is this on the route of the subway?"
"Back to Lord Jasmine, this is a subway line that has been out of service recently, and there has been an explosion on the underground platform in front of it, so it should be under repair."
"Maybe that's what those attackers are for, to attack us underground."
Jasmine looked around warily, and the lack of an exit ahead meant that the blockade was still long.
After passing through the underground intersection, the guard in front stopped.
"Lord Jasmine, there's someone ahead."
"Huh?"
"It looks like someone else."
As soon as the guards said this, Jasmine ran over first.
It was a group of people, a group of people who had fallen around the tracks, covered in blood.
"Ahem........."
Still alive! Jasmine ran to the woman leaning against the wall, and when she picked her up, she realized that it was the human race Ice Castle Chestnut, who had communicated with her several times before.
What's going on? They certainly weren't killed in the tunnel......
Are there attacks elsewhere?! And these people ...... The one who left the meeting first?
"You...... Be...... Murray, S's ......"
"Don't talk."
Bingcheng has a big mouth in his abdomen, and he also has knife wounds on his arms and legs, so he doesn't know how long he can hold on.
"I'll save you."
Jasmine tore off her blood-stained dress and bandaged Bingcheng instead of a bandage, there was no way, she didn't have clean medical props at the moment.
"Go find someone!! Speed Point !! β
"Lord Jasmine, we must get out of here first, because it's too dangerous, and the attackers must be ......"
"It's an order!"
"I see!"
One of the guards ran alone towards the passage ahead, and the men, including Jasmine, began the rescue operation.
