Chapter 43: Parallel Lines and Horizons
The so-called idiots
The so-called death
Matching points (clumsy negotiation method)
When different species in the universe begin to connect and influence each other, culture and knowledge also spread, and the Earth is one of the largest tourist planets where this information is intertwined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is true that war is one of the driving forces for the development of science and technology, but the advancement of tourism has provided many convenient platforms for information exchange in this era, and it can also allow different races to live together peacefully to some extent.
The establishment of special zones such as mermaid special zones, orc special zones, rock special zones, vampire special zones, werewolf special zones, etc., has led to the integration of various cultural styles on the earth, and the colorful, strange and magnificent scenery on the streets is the most direct expression.
Statues carved out of transparent crystals, sun-flowering flowers that can record songs, houses floating in mid-air, and areas that are always covered with dark clouds are all surprising phenomena created by alien races.
At present, Ahui was sitting at the back of the ship belonging to the Galactic Monastery near the window, and Ariel's hands were still tightly cuffed by chains; In order to make her have no possibility of breaking free, she was specially injected with drugs used to suppress strength.
Various buildings could be seen outside the ship, and Ahui's gaze was on the outside with Ariel's, and the rapid retreat made the two of them keep their eyes rolling.
The city of aliens and humans has always woken up too soon. The vehicles and ships turned into a stream, and I thought that the dust of last night had not yet had time to calm down, but I saw that the street lamps still seemed to have a dim yellow light to shine through, and then I found that it was the refraction of the morning light, and the sky had already lit up.
However, pedestrians on the streets and overpasses do not always pay attention to these scenes. Office workers and young and unrestrained men and women waited for the bus at the station, and even though some of them were well-dressed, they still couldn't hide the heavy tiredness on their faces.
Private ships whizzed by, mostly manned by slightly accomplished merchants and alien nobles of some rank.
As for those who have the power and power, they generally do not appear at this time, and those who have a plan will act according to the plan, even if it is a plan that is reversed day and night.
The whole society and city are composed of a large number of transportation lines, and ships, subways, light rails, buses, and taxis load and unload batches of people like goods, and Yahui is also one of them.
Everything is part of the cogs of the huge machinery of society, and the little cogs are 'working' in their place to keep the world going, and they are busy with the hard life.
To stand out from the crowd, it takes neither courage nor resourcefulness to stand out, but the opportunity to change everything.
To put it in a ridiculous sentence, it must be more convenient to buy a lottery ticket by luck and win the lottery than to make money by working, right?
Ah Hui thinks he must seize the opportunity now, after all, he and Ariel are both in a rather bad situation, and the slightest mistake will make things worse.
Hearing someone talking in the cockpit of the ship, Yahui didn't know the monk sitting with Father Bebo, maybe they were the troops hiding in the dark.
Yahui, who had made a strange guess, looked at Ariel, her eyes always falling on the city below the ship, as if she had never looked down on the landscape.
"Ariel, the next thing is the real trouble, let me negotiate alone when the time comes, Bishop Ito is still very reasonable."
"Really...... For me, as long as I can achieve the goal...... I thought I could see the Tander Orphanage from here~ It is impossible in the current situation. ”
Because she was injected with debilitating drugs, she spoke lazily and Ariel withdrew her gaze from the window.
"You Galactic Monastery are all trying to get information for your own benefit...... So I'll tell you beforehand...... The betrayal of my teammates is not a reason for me to betray the entire organization......"
Stubborn guys are always stubborn, and Ariel probably thinks she's going to be interrogated next, and of course asks her about the assassination organization she belongs to.
So why is she reluctant to betray? Do you think that revenge is your responsibility? Or is there something else?
Yahui vaguely guessed Ariel's thoughts, he didn't think about changing Ariel's thoughts, after all, Yahui has his own way of doing things, and he knows very well that stubborn guys are difficult to change.
The next thing to do is to meet Bishop Ito, and Yahui has only one purpose, to get the two of them a chance to redeem their merits.
Although Ariel made a big mistake by attacking the multimedia conference room of the monastery before, that does not mean that there is no chance of 'redemption'.
In the end, the trouble also comes to the point of 'redeeming the merits', because the only people who can profit from the evidence of the Jurmgünt Chamber of Commerce and use it are Yahui and Ariel (most of them also have competing organizations).
All in all, all the questions can only be discussed in detail when meeting with Bishop Ito, and they are just speculation at the moment.
"Bishop Ito in your mouth...... Why didn't he hand us over directly to the top...... This? ”
"I don't know, Bishop Ito's ideas are always unpredictable. Of course, one thing I can be sure of. ”
"A little?"
"As a lucky person who was 'blessed' by the gods, I may have been one of the reasons why I was not sent to the judgment hall as a sinner."
Ariel gave her a disdainful look on the side, she didn't believe that Yahui was a person who had been 'blessed' by the gods, thinking that he had been delusional all along.
Yahui, who was regarded as a fool, did not explain much, after all, he had no evidence enough to convince others.
However, if they attract their attention in a square full of aliens, then it is likely to prove that the 'blessing' of the gods on Yahui's body is true or false, provided that Yahui persists until that time.
It is said that a woman in love can do anything, so a woman who is aroused by the 'blessing' of the Yahui god is doing everything, which is simply terrifying.
"Anyway, I think it's hard for us to understand, so to speak, it's like a parallel line. For example, we who advocate going south cannot be understood by those who advocate going north, but they are fundamentally different. ”
"That's bad...... I can't fail here yet......"
There seemed to be a flame burning in Ariel's heterochromatic eyes, and it seemed that she had not lost her fighting spirit until now.
"You two don't talk there, we're already there."
Father Bebo looked at the two men from the cockpit window and slowly brought the ship to a halt.
――――
It's a quiet alley.
Father Bebo, who led the way, pointed to the nearby wall
"Originally, we were going to build a playground, but because of an accident here that happened to the aliens, the plan was shelved; It has now been bought by our monastery to build a new church. ”
"That's ......"
"I heard that the alien originally hid the little yellow book here, and when he heard that it was going to be rebuilt, he ran over at night, but fell into the pit and was seriously injured."
“……”
The world is so big that there are no surprises.
Ahui and Ariel shrugged together, leading Father Bebo to a hut.
Construction tools are piled up around the hut, and there is a sign next to the "Attention" warning sign that says "Outsiders are not allowed to bury personal belongings on the construction site".
Mentally prepared, Ahui concentrated, pushed open the door and walked in with Ariel at the urging of Father Bebo.
Bishop Ito was drinking tea, and with a displeased expression on his face, he motioned for the two to sit down.
"Tell me about the stinky little ghost, the reason why you and the little girl over there are getting into trouble everywhere."
"Hmm......"
How to say that? Yahui pondered.
First of all, it would be better to tell Bishop Ito about the shortcomings of the Julmgun Chamber of Commerce, maybe this will make him understand.
"Bishop Ito, the Julmgünt Chamber of Commerce is supposed to be one of the biggest sponsors of our monastery, which should be a good thing, but the people of the Julmgünt Chamber of Commerce are involved in the drug trafficking industry. Think about it, wouldn't it be a shame for the monastery to be found out by people from the outside that we are being sponsored by a drug trafficking organization? Credibility and credibility will be greatly reduced, so I want to change that. ”
"Oh? Change? That's their own business, don't you know? ”
Bishop Ito put down his teacup and glanced at the two of them.
"Although the monastery occasionally plays a role in keeping the peace, it has no idea of becoming a partner in justice at all, and it is time for you to change your mindset of running a family, things are not as simple as you think."
"Ariel! This is Ariel, and the orphanage where she used to live is being used as a reselling point for drugs, should she also ignore it? ”
"I see, but what was the real reason for her attack on the convent room? For the sake of companions? For the orphanage? For the sake of organization? These are the things that should be investigated at this time. ”
It is a parallel line, Yahui is standing above individual interests, and Bishop Ito is on the side of group interests.
Bishop Ito rubbed his temples and sighed heavily, mostly feeling helpless and tired from Ahui's words.
"You know Yahui, this shouldn't have been said to a kid like you, but...... The Julmgun Chamber of Commerce accounts for nearly half of the city's trading volume, and there are many organizations and unions with them; Including the alien nobles and even royal families who immigrated to Earth, if the Julmgun Chamber of Commerce is brought down, everything will change drastically, and all the "guests" sitting on the luxury "cruise ship" of the [Julmgaunt Chamber of Commerce] will fall into the sea. ”
One ring after another, once one of the rings collapses, the entire structure will collapse, and Yahui knows what Bishop Ito means.
Damn it...... There is simply no room for negotiation in terms of interests, and Yahui is at a disadvantage.
Just as the situation was at an impasse, Ariel, who was on the side, bumped Ahui with her shoulder.
Bishop Ito didn't forbid the two to interact, and he would ask the blonde girl in front of him anyway.
"Put your ears together."
Ariel has recovered a lot and seems to be refreshed, most likely because the effect of the medicine has passed.
Facing the doubts, Yahui came to Ariel's side, and she spit out a warm breath and landed on Yahui's ears, and with those gases, there was a message that the defeat was victorious!
No, Yahui just hopes for this, but the content gives Yahui a lot of confidence.
It is a parallel line, but there is a possibility that a parallel line will become a boundary line in the distant future.
"I don't know what you two are up to, and I didn't plan to forgive you, especially the little girl over there. Maintenance costs, labor costs, renovation costs, and casualty compensation, all of which have to be borne by the guys behind you, the Galactic Monastery is not unjust. ”
"Bishop Ito! The reason why Ariel and I intend to investigate the Julmgun Chamber of Commerce is ......"
"Don't say it, aren't you just trying to get ahead, isn't she just here to complete the task? And say save that orphanage? ”
"No, it's not."
Yahui's denial made Bishop Ito frown, and he couldn't figure out why the little imp in front of him had denied his own speech.
To be honest, Bishop Ito has high hopes for Yahui, not because he has been blessed by the gods, but because Yahui has a lot of potential, the potential to change everything.
However, the reality is quite distressing for Bishop Ito, and young people have always been so radical.
"There's a reason why I think Bishop Ito agrees with us."
"Tell me about it."
"To a certain extent, replace the Jurmgünt Chamber of Commerce and transfer all their interests to the monastery."
"It's not a funny joke."
"Ariel knows where the Jurmgon Chamber of Commerce headquarters keeps its information."
"No way, that's the other party's secret."
Hearing this, Ariel spoke to Bishop Ito for the first time.
"The next goal of the organization I belong to is to steal those materials, and I was one of them, so of course I knew where it was placed."
"That organization of yours has a larger intelligence network than the Abbey? I see, not many people know about the meeting with the Julmgunt Chamber of Commerce that you attacked. ”
Bishop Ito was lost in thought, then turned back to ask Ariel
"It's called Ariel, right? Do you want to steal that information and pass it on to us? ”
"Then you can do it, if you have that, you can easily deal with the Yurmgaunt Chamber of Commerce."
"That's an interesting proposition, but a person caught by us is qualified to say something like that? Are you planning to infiltrate the headquarters of the Julmgun Chamber of Commerce to steal information? ”
"I wasn't caught."
Ariel's handcuffs, which she had been wearing, fell to the ground with a glimmer of light, and she rushed straight to Bishop Ito in front of her.
"Ariel!!"
Ahui yelled to stop Ariel, but Ariel had already stopped.
Bishop Ito, whose face changed slightly, did not panic, and nodded while touching his chin.
"It's surprising, you're not human...... I wasn't attracted by Yahui, so it's worth looking forward to a little bit. ”
Bishop Ito smiled a sly smile that looked a bit like that of a profiteer.
"It's not impossible to give you a chance."
At this moment, the parallel lines become horizons intersecting.
