Chapter 45: A Heart with Angels
Chapter 45: A Heart with an Angel
"If you're going to get something you've never got, you're going to have to do something you've never got." This sentence was said by Wang Yanqing to Su Yu.
When Su Yu returned to Tongtian City with Wang Yanqing, he somehow talked about steel.
Su Yu asked: "How can we obtain a large amount of steel resources?" ”
"A lot?" Wang Yanqing frowned and said, "If the amount is quite huge, there is one of the simplest, direct, fast and convenient ways to do it!" ”
"What?" Su Yu asked curiously, and his figure also paused in the air for a moment.
"Kill people and set fires, rob money to buy iron, or organize an army, kill directly to the steel city, kill everyone who stands in your way, and take the resources you need by yourself!" Wang Yanqing's tone was solemn, "Anyway, with your current strength, if you want to do this, it's very simple!" ”
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't think about it that way, but if he really wanted to discuss and implement it on the bright side, it was psychologically difficult to accept.
So, Wang Yanqing said something that made Su Yu feel very reasonable-"If you plan to get something that you have never gotten, then you have to do something that you have never done before." ”
However, Su Yu didn't want to do it for the time being, as for killing people and setting fires and plundering resources. When it was possible, Su Yu was still unwilling to rely on his powerful strength to do things that bullied the weak.
However, Wang Yanqing's sneer directly hit Su Yu's appreciation: "Who do you think the steel of Steel City belongs to?" Is it those ordinary miners? You're wrong!
The steel resources of Steel City are all in the hands of those big families and big forces, and their own fortunes are only plundered by relying on more powerful strength than ordinary people.
Their palms hold the blood and sweat of a large number of workers, and behind their huge interests are countless unjustly killed, exhausted, and beaten to death.
Your strength is stronger than theirs, and if you rob them, you are not doing evil, but repaying them one after another. Their assets are already huge enough, and if you go and grab a few steel mines, they won't starve to death.
Now that's it, whoever is strong can have the richest resources. You can rob those who are weaker than you, and those who are stronger than you can also rob you.
Right and wrong, why do you know what to do so clearly? Did it work? ”
Su Yu understood that what Wang Yanqing was talking about was the essence hidden in this húnluàn apocalypse. Even in the old days, in those peaceful times, it was the powerful and high-ranking people who held the vast majority of resources.
Just as truth is always in the hands of a few, the best resources are always in the hands of a few.
Perhaps, since ancient times, this has been the case.
Wang Yanqing looked at Su Yu and said, "If you don't want to plunder so red, there is another way to compare Sven!"
"What's the method?" Su Yu was immediately interested when he heard this.
"Build a vast personal empire, erect a fixed order, and the whole nation revolves around you, so that all the resources are mined and transported from below to your side. For you to enjoy! You can choose to eat the big head yourself, and the people below eat xiǎo head. You can also swallow it all by yourself, and let the people below starve to death and die of exhaustion.
As long as you have the strength, as long as you want to, you can do whatever you want.
But before everything is in order, your personal empire must be baptized with blood and fire. You'll need a lot of war, siege cities, grab land, and grab resources. This resource includes not only a variety of property and minerals, but also a large number of talents.
Only after having a large number of talents and having their own mainstay in all walks of life, can you be a hands-off shopkeeper and enjoy it! ”
"Well, that sounds interesting! The Sleepless Emperor of the Galaxy Alliance seems to have won this idea! Su Yu nodded.
"That's true!" Wang Yanqing stared at Su Yu's eyes and said, "How is it, are you interested?" ”
Su Yu thought for a while and said, "But some of these problems come from myself!" ”
"Well, it's all built on the extreme strength of your personal force! If you are defeated, or killed, your personal empire is taken from you! Wang Yanqing agreed.
"No, I didn't mean that!" Su Yu shook his head, "I mean, over this period of time, there have been some changes in my body, some changes that I don't want to see!" ”
"How?"
"I found that I had become a little, how to put it, and began to like the thrill of killing!" Su Yu said slowly, "So, I'm worried that one day, I will kill for the sake of killing." Later, maybe there will be a war for the sake of war. Experience the thrill of killing and conquering! ”,
Wang Yanqing frowned and said, "Well, this is a bit difficult. In the old days, I met a murderer who first took pleasure in slaughtering animals, and then killed people for pleasure. ”
"What's going on?" Su Yu asked, because of the troubles he encountered, Su Yu paid special attention to this information and cases.
Wang Yanqing seemed to be recalling and sorting out his thoughts, and said slowly: "According to his own words, at the beginning, he killed a dog purely for revenge, and the blood of the animal felt disgusting when it flowed on his body. But later, after killing too much, I felt that the red sè of the blood was particularly fresh and beautiful.
Later, it developed to the point that killing animals was no longer enough to satisfy its psychology of pursuing pleasure, so he began to kill people. At first, too, when I disemboweled, I was shocked to see the intestines flowing out like a very féi snake. Later, when I got used to it, I became addicted! ”
Su Yu frowned slightly after hearing this, and said, "What did you do before the end, would you meet this kind of person?" ”
"Jīng Psychologist & Psychoanalyst & Hypnotist!" Wang Yanqing said.
"Well, I really haven't seen it yet," Su Yu said, "Did the case of that murderous demon have any adverse effects on you?" On the jīng god? ”。
"Yes," Wang Yanqing nodded, "For a long time after that, when I saw people who reported on animal abuse, they would subconsciously think: 'If one day, these people are not satisfied with animal abuse, or the pleasure of animal abuse is no longer enough to satisfy these people; Will they start abusing the people around them? ’
Because of this idea, I think that people who abuse animals are very dangerous. If you have such a person around, you must be more vigilant! ”
"I also don't think it's a big deal to kill someone now. Do you think I'm in the same state as these people right now? Well, is there any potential to develop towards these people? Su Yu asked, his tone and expression were very serious.
Wang Yanqing stared at Su Yu seriously and said, "It's different, you don't have this potential." You are a very pure person at heart, although you have now been stained gray by the world on the surface. But your essence is very stubborn, and you are deeply ingrained in your insistence on an insistence that seems to me to be insignificant.
However, it is precisely because you have your own persistence in your heart that you will not be changed too much by the outside world. So, you won't be lost in the killing. You don't have to worry about that either!
And, to be honest, intellectually I don't agree with your ideas of compassion and compassion for the weak. But emotionally, I'm glad you're a human man. ”
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!" ”
"Hey, have you thought about building a personal empire when I said about it?" Wang Yanqing asked.
"Not long after the end times began, there was also an NV kid who told me something similar." Su Yu said, remembering what Coconut said a long time ago, and said lightly, "If I want to set up a personal empire, you must hang it in my name!" ”
"Yes, I have indeed meant to protect you by encouraging you in this way. But you have to understand that with this empire, not only do you have the resources you need to solve them, but those you care about also have a relatively safe haven. In your empire, as long as you don't fall, they're safe. ”
"Okay," Su Yu said, "I need 100 million tons plus 10 million tons of steel, and if you can help me with it, I think you are valuable, and I will try my best to keep you alive." Got it? ”
"100 million tons?" Wang Yanqing exclaimed, "Okay, first of all, what do you want so much steel for? You have to face the fact that the steel mills on the entire planet don't produce so much steel a year, right? ”
"I don't care about this," Su Yu shook his head and said, "The emperor is to issue orders, and subordinates are to complete orders." Isn't it? ”
"Well, iron ore can be the same. Then it's a lot simpler! If you have an army, we can go to the wilderness and dig down a lot of ore veins.
However, there are too many variables in the wilderness, and it is not easy to find out where the iron ore is, and even the Galactic Alliance does not occupy the wilderness. So, if you want nòng to 100 million tons of steel, there is still a long way to go. ”
Su Yu rolled his eyes, landed directly in front of Tongtian City, and said, "Let's go into the city!" ”
"You're not afraid of being discovered by the Purple Night King?" Wang Yanqing asked.
Su Yu said: "I wish he was sending someone to kill me, so that I could kill a few more of his people." But now, in order not to burden you and Jiang Wenting, I will still make some changes! ”,
"Change, what change?"
Su Yu didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face.
Just under Wang Yanqing's surprised gaze, Su Yu's figure suddenly became ten centimeters shorter, his head was thicker, and his body became bloated, and the facial features on Su Yu's face were no longer the original facial features, they began to crowd together, and they looked very clumsy.
If it weren't for Wang Yanqing standing by Su Yu's side all the time, she wouldn't have believed that this was Su Yu at all. Even if she has been standing by Su Yu's side, Wang Yanqing has a hard time believing that this is Su Yu.
Su Yu smiled slightly and said, "How about it, let's go in!" Su Yu's smile was originally very moving, but this smile at this moment was a little hideous.
Wang Yanqing suddenly had a terrible thought in her heart, and asked, "Could this be your true face?" ”
Su Yu shook his head, looked at the bustling city in front of him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Yanqing.
Wang Yanqing was startled, and before she could react, she only felt that her body was light, and she was already standing in Tongtian City.
"Oh my God, how did you do that?" Wang Yanqing exclaimed, "This city is protected by the energy shield of the Galaxy Alliance, and any behavior that does not take the underground passage will trigger the alarm system in the city. How did you go on a rampage? ”
Su Yu shook his head and said, "Nothing is perfect, and nothing is absolutely safe. Everything that is absolute is relative. Okay, let's go find Jiang Wenting now! ”
At Su Yu's suggestion, Wang Yanqing dialed Jiang Wenting's mobile phone and agreed on a meeting place.
When she saw Wang Yanqing, Jiang Wenting was very happy. However, she looked at Wang Yanqing's right arm, and her expression was quite sad, so she hurriedly took out the regenerative gene yào agent from the space ring and injected it into Wang Yanqing.
From beginning to end, Jiang Wenting didn't ask Wang Yanqing what happened, as if she already knew something.
The potency of the gene yào agent soon took effect, and Wang Yanqing's right arm grew back at a speed visible to her eyes. Wang Yanqing's face finally showed joy from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, Jiang Wenting set her eyes on Su Yu, and at the same time cast an inquiring glance at Wang Yanqing.
Wang Yanqing smiled very proudly and said, "This person, but is he an amazing person?" Guess who he is, and give you two very important hints: you've seen this guy before! ”
"It's not possible!" Jiang Wenting said, "It's impossible that the people I've seen won't remember. Unless he's hiding his true colors. However, if I hide my true colors, there is no reason why I can't see it! ”
Suddenly, Jiang Wenting thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said to Su Yu: "I know who you are, the person I can't see through, in Tongtian City, there is only you, brother!" ”
Just in the blink of an eye, Jiang Wenting had already recognized Su Yu's identity: "By the way, I heard Yanqing say, didn't the Purple Night King send someone to hunt you down?" How did you get out! ”
Su Yu didn't say much about the pursuit, but said directly: "Sister Jiang, how is the steel I told you?" ”
"I'll get in touch with you, and in a month, 100,000 tons will be able to be shipped. Half a year later, there are still a million tons. No more."
"100,000 tons, so little?" Su Yu frowned and said, "Moreover, it's been a bit long!" ”
"There is no way," Jiang Wenting said, "and there is a shortage of steel resources now." The iron ore in the wilderness cannot be used, and among the cities of the Galaxy Alliance, the only ones that can produce iron ore are Steel City and Tel City. The city of Tel is located on the old American continent, too far away from us, separated by the ocean, and transportation alone is a big problem.
Therefore, the steel you want can only be ordered from Steel City, and the steel in the last three years has been booked. If anyone wants to get the goods again, they can only wait until the fourth year! ”
"Steel City?" When Su Yu heard this, he suddenly remembered the Zheng Qiang he met at the training base, the Zheng Qiang who was molesting Shangguan Wan but was beaten into ròu sauce by Zhao Xiang with a stick. said, "Is there a Zheng family in Steel City?" ”
"Yes, now the Steel City is in the hands of the Zheng family. And most of the steel of the Galaxy Alliance is produced in Steel City. Jiang Wenting explained.
"It's strange, such an important strategic base, the Galaxy Alliance would be willing to let a Zheng family monopolize it?" Su Yu asked.
"Of course not, I estimate that the main head of the Zheng family has now been controlled by the Purple Night King by secret means!"
"I see," Su Yu nodded, "Then I have nothing to worry about." ”
"What?" Jiang Wenting didn't react at once. ,
"He's going to Iron City to rob steel!" Wang Yanqing added.
Jiang Wenting looked at Su Yu for a long time, then looked at Wang Yanqing, and said, "You crazy NV person, such a crazy idea must have been instigated by you, right?" ”
"Yes!" Wang Yanqing did not shy away from confirming at all.
"Listen to me, you can't do that?" Jiang Wenting suddenly said, "If you rob the Steel City, you will tear your face with the Galaxy Alliance, and you will be completely angry with the Purple Night King and the Nightless Emperor." Although he narrowly escaped death this time, don't think that you have the ability to be the enemy of the Nightless Emperor! ”
"They've already made me angry, so I don't care if they're angry or not." Su Yu said lightly.
Since Tongtian City didn't have what Su Yu needed for the time being, he wouldn't delay any longer. After asking Jiang Wenting for a map, despite her persuasion, Su Yu marked the location of the Steel City on it. But then he went out of the city.
Su Yu didn't fly towards the Steel City as frantically as he did to Garuna City with all his might. After a battle with the red-clothed NV, Su Yu has calmed down. He skillfully concealed his aura, like an inconspicuous goshawk, silently gliding high in the air, slowly approaching the direction of the Iron City.
During the flight, Su Yu's mind was playing the battle scene between the red-clothed NV and him like a movie. Some of these scenes are constantly paused, and then chōu is released separately and replayed over and over again. This includes the scene when the red-clothed NV wields the Lancet.
Although during the battle, the movements of the red-clothed NV are so fast that you can't see anything clearly. However, it was faithfully recorded for Su Yu to observe and learn the art of fighting, and to improve Su Yu's combat skills.
Su Yu's current strength is already a level higher than that on the battlefield, and he can already see that everything the red-clothed NV does on the battlefield is not only fast enough and the trajectory of his movements is weird enough, but also the instantaneous explosiveness of the red-clothed NV when he hits the target is also incredibly powerful.
All this, combined with the stealth method, caused Su Yu at that time to be unable to avoid the end at all.
If it were an ordinary person, he might have hated it on the spot. However, Su Yu's vitality is extremely strong, and there are unimaginable serious injuries in his body, and every moment, the red-clothed nv has a feeling that Su Yu is going to hang up in the next second. But Su Yu didn't die. At that time, although the red-clothed nv had a sharp voice and sneered, he was already depressed and wanted to vomit blood to death.
Until the last moment, the red-clothed nv couldn't understand why Su Yu hadn't died yet, and finally died unjustly.
Now when she was on the same level as the red-clothed nv, Su Yu had at least dozens of plans to kill her.
When Su Yu was thinking about the success or failure of his battle with the red-clothed nv, he suddenly thought of the Blood Devouring Sword. The Blood-Devouring Sword and the Imperial Heavenly Shield are collectively known as the two strongest artifacts, however, the effect of Su Yu is not good when they are used, and it is even said to be very poor.
At the beginning, the Heavenly Shield was in the hands of the white-clothed Ao Xuehou, and it could easily cut off the powerful heart-piercing lock. But in the hands of Su Yu, he couldn't kill an emperor-level ability.
According to Mandihei, it was not that the Imperial Heavenly Shield was not strong enough, but that Su Yu was too weak and could not exert the strength that the Imperial Heavenly Shield should have. Moreover, after the Heavenly Shield carried that mysterious temple, all the energy was restricted, and it could not help Su Yu to fight beyond the level.
Therefore, when facing an enemy of the same level as Su Yu, the Heavenly Shield can easily slash the opponent. But once the enemy's level is higher than Su Yu's, the role of the Heavenly Shield becomes very small.
The situation of the Bloodthirsty Sword is also broadly similar, but it is more spooky. Like the Celestial Shield, which is known for its defense, the Blooddevouring Sword itself is made of extremely hard material, and there is little in the world that can destroy either of these two pieces of equipment.
This is also the origin of the names of the two strongest artifacts.
According to Montihe, it is a weapon capable of destroying these two things, which has not been in this world for a long time.
However, in contrast to the almost anti-heaven sharpness of the Heavenly Shield, the Blooddevouring Sword itself is not sharp. Its blade is very blunt, and even if you cut a piece of tofu, the section will not be flat.
The reason why the Blood Devouring Sword is powerful is its ability to devour blood and life. As long as the defense is broken, the Blood Devouring Sword can devour a person's life in almost the shortest time in the most incredible way.
However, when the defense is not broken and comes into contact with the blood, the blood-devouring sword is just a little more sturdy, and it will not bring much cheapness to the user. ,
Such a sword is actually more suitable to be defined and used as a short club. This is also where Su Yu has a headache.
Originally, Su Yu could use the Heavenly Shield to break through the defense and kill people with the Blood-Devouring Sword. However, after the Heavenly Shield was taken into that temple and the strange world, both defense and attack had shrunk significantly.
Su Yu had complained more than once, but whenever this time came, the black man would look at Su Yu with the same eyes as an idiot, and sighed: "Alas, ignorant humans are really one of the most terrifying animals in this universe!" ”
Su Yu was greatly annoyed when he heard this, but he couldn't attack clearly. Although it is a dog on the outside, the dog's heart is an old demon who has lived for 10,000 years, and neither experience nor knowledge content can be compared to a Xiǎo baby that Su Yucai learned to walk. This sentence was also uttered by the black man all over the ground.
Mandihei said that the temple is a prerequisite for obtaining the Heavenly Sword. However, as for the details, Man Di Hei refused to spit out in detail, but said lightly: "I am like an ignorant human being who does not know the blessing in the blessing, and I can't flow on some issues involving high intelligence!" ”
It was the first time that Su Yu had let a dog despise. However, Su Yu admitted it, in order to see the legendary Doomsday Heavenly Knife.
Thinking of the three people who were all over the ground, Su Yu's heart was indeed filled with some warmth. It's like the feeling that he has spent twenty years in the wilderness.
That time was the most difficult time in Su Yu's life. The degradation of the six senses separated Su Yu from the whole world, and in his heart, many times, it was filled with only black and white.
When there were more of them, all that was reflected in Su Yu's pupils was an endless gray sè. What supported Su Yu all the way was that in addition to the perfect fighting instinct and the almost immortal strong and immortal body brought to him by the gold eater, there was also a xiǎoxiǎo figure.
Instantaneous, that is, eternal. A little, it can also reflect the sunshine of the whole world.
Wang Yanqing is right, Su Yu has his own insistence in his heart.
Wen Yù is also right, Su Yu does have an angel that belongs to him in his heart!
……
In the Zheng family of the steel city, the old man Zheng sat precariously and looked at the row of people sitting around the oval conference table arguing.
The seven people who are qualified to sit here today are all the core of the Zheng family and the members of the Jīng Ying. Four of them are of the rank of general and two are of the rank of colonel.
Except for Old Man Zheng himself, who is old, the other six people don't look very old.
In fact, Old Man Zheng is indeed one of the few elderly general-level abilities in the Galaxy Alliance. After all, when the end comes, the death rate of the elderly will be much higher than that of the prime of life due to their congenital weakness in physical strength.
However, at the age of seventy, Mr. Zheng not only survived the apocalypse, but also became more and more energetic. Even in the later period, he inexplicably became a general-level ability, and used blood to occupy the iron ore resources of the Iron City, and took the Zheng family on the road to prosperity.
Some time ago, Mr. Zheng just celebrated his ninetieth birthday. However, the old man is in very good health, and judging from the old man's physique, it will not be a problem to live another hundred and eighty years.
This is also the benefit of the end times, the more advanced the ability, the longer the lifespan. What made the old man even happier was that on the eve of the old man's birthday, three general-level abilities appeared in the Zheng family in a flash of lightning.
Everyone knows that in this era, strength is the foundation of everything. With three more general-level abilities, the Zheng family, which was still in turmoil because of Old Man Zheng's age, will finally begin to become indestructible in Steel City.
Although the Zheng family's means of making a fortune are indeed some people who are not very visible, but what does it matter? There are so many people dying in the apocalypse, it doesn't matter if there are so many deaths.
Succeed in the king's defeat, now in the entire steel city, who dares to say that the Zheng family is not?
Therefore, Old Man Zheng was happy and drank several more glasses! This is a rare thing, you must know that since the end of the world, Old Man Zheng, who used to be a heavy drinker, has not drunk much anymore. Saying yes, wine jīng tends to make people let their guard down and is a catalyst for death.
It can be seen that Mr. Zheng is happy from the bottom of his heart. The only fly in the ointment that Old Man Zheng felt was that his favorite Xiǎo grandson, Zheng Qiang, did not appear on his ninetieth birthday.
Originally, there was nothing either. Old Man Zheng knew that Zheng Qiang had gone to the training base and had been trained hard. At the beginning, Old Man Zheng was ruthless, so he sent Zheng Qiang, who was crying and begging, away.
Old Man Zheng knew that his grandson's nostalgia was not for him, a bad old man, but for the huā heaven and wine, warbler and swallow in the city. ,
And the reason why Old Man Zheng sent it out was also so that Zheng Qiang could have a stronger future after some training.
However, just a few days ago, Mr. Zheng got a very bad news from some secret channel: Zheng Qiang's identity card and bank card were broken, and the money in them was swept away.
In other words, Zheng Qiang's identity card and bank card are very likely to have been taken to the city of the Galaxy Alliance and invaded.
These identity cards and bank magnetic cards should have been carried by Zheng Qiang. And Zheng Qiang should have been in the training base at this time.
So why are these cards hacked and stolen? What happened to Zheng Qiang?
Now what Old Man Zheng cares about most is not those cards with huge amounts of money, but the safety of Zheng Qiang himself.
Old Man Zheng originally wanted to find the Galaxy Alliance or the training base first to confirm Zheng Qiang's location. However, the Galaxy Alliance has always shirked and delayed and never gave a positive answer. As for the training base, it is impossible to connect to it at all.
Old Man Zheng was in a hurry and immediately convened a family meeting. Six people sat in the conference room and discussed, what should I do?
Do you want to break into the training base to rescue your beloved grandchild?
Originally, Old Man Zheng pinned his hopes on the three nephews in the family who were newly promoted to the rank of general. Hopefully they will be able to have some good advice.
It's just that what makes Old Man Zheng angry is that these three people don't seem to pay much attention to Zheng Qiang's affairs. Old Man Zheng sent people to urge several times before inviting these three people over.
However, even if they came, what the three generals said was not a matter of urgency, and the topic of conversation was always to believe in the Galaxy Alliance, the Emperor of the Nightless Emperor would definitely have a comprehensive arrangement, Zheng Qiang would be fine, just let the old man rest assured.
And the other two school officer-level abilities, because of the difference in strength, they don't have the courage to talk in front of the three of them.
Old Man Zheng watched coldly for a while, and couldn't help but slap the table and roared: "Zheng Boda, Zheng Qiang is your son, is your turtle grandson really not worried at all?" ”
"Dad, how can you say that I am also your son, you scold my turtle grandson, don't you scold you for being your own turtle son?" Zheng Boda is one of the three newly promoted generals.
"You! You unfilial son, a beast who disobeys Lao Tzu, I will kill you! Old Man Zheng had a hot temper, and he came up all of a sudden. A hand was raised high and smashed at Zheng Boda.
Suddenly, Old Man Zheng's vest ached, followed by a pain in xiōng, causing him to stumble physically and mentally, and he took a few steps backwards.
Old Man Zheng endured the pain in his heart, turned his head to look back, and saw his other two sons, Zheng Botao and Zheng Boyong, each holding a war knife in their hands, and the blade of the war knife chā into his back heart, and the tip of the knife revealed from his front heart.
Originally, he was a person of the same level of ability, and Old Man Zheng would not have been defeated so badly. But he never thought that his son would kill him, so he was defenseless.
"You, you?" Old Man Zheng's eyes widened, he looked straight at his two sons, and slowly looked down at the two snow-bright knife tips in front of Xiōng, the anger on his face gradually turned into shock, incomprehension, sadness and sadness, and he muttered, "Why? Why? ”
Zheng Boda also had a war knife in his hand, and with a slight wave of his hand, he cut off the heads of two school officials, who were his two cousins.
"Old fellow, this is a punishment for your suspicion of the Nightless Emperor. I'll tell you the truth, your indisputable precious grandson has been killed.
The person who killed him was called Su Yu, and the Purple Night King had issued an order to hunt him down. Soon he will be able to avenge Zheng Qiang. You're old enough to live a long time, and now you can go with peace of mind.
As for that Su Yu, we'll peel off his ròu skin with our own hands......"
"A man-made monster who killed his father and brother deserves my name?" A sneer suddenly came from behind Zheng Boda, interrupting his words
