Chapter 21: The Overture is about to end, and Miss II gave me a surprise
The days are so muddy, every day I see the eldest lady working hard, and the second lady studying hard, as if admiring a pair of diligent and diligent carry on the field line. That infinitely beautiful, evil killing supergod tomorrow is just around the corner.
But in the blink of an eye, the hometown has already been pushed by the three roads, and the super soldiers on one screen are swarming in front of the frozen throne, and the blood bar is like the big aunt. Suddenly it feels like the backs of the two carry are so bleak.
I'm right to watch a play, although these days are getting more and more boring, but there is finally a means to relieve boredom, isn't it?
However, the good times did not last long, and after only two days, I was forcibly deprived of my fun.
On the third day, the eldest lady told me after lunch that she was going to leave for a while.
When asked why, she said that no matter how hard she tries, it is impossible to stay at home and dispose of all her official duties, and there is always a time to go out. It's not hard to see why.
But out of work ethic, I had to remind her.
"I suppose you should understand the possible consequences before making this choice, right? From my point of view, the biggest threat to you today is not a noble force, but a raven, the threat of ravens is in front of you, very simple and direct, the maid Fang Ning's incident happened not long ago, although she is fortunate not to die, but I heard that her baby girl was used as an inflatable doll and turned into a cripple. And if you are captured by them, I will not save you. β
The eldest lady stood still, hesitated and said, "...... I remember you said that they are killers of reason, and they are not going to waste their chances on people who are not targeted, right?"
"Convince yourself with that. It's up to you how to decide, just remember not to cry and yell for me to save you when you're. β
The mocking tone didn't change her decision, and the eldest lady eventually left, and I watched her ride the light wheel two thousand and sail down the floating platform with a hint of hesitation. My gut told me that this trip was going to end in tragedy.
"Why don't you stop her?"
Behind her, the second lady sighed faintly, before Wen Yun left, the sisters had a brief dispute, and the result was obvious.
Wen Yin was in a hurry, and even aimed a scissor at her throat to threaten death, but the eldest lady just looked at me with a sad face. Indeed, my mission is to protect the safety of Miss Er, and no one, including Miss Second herself, has the right to harm her.
So I kneaded the scissors into an iron ball in 0.01 seconds. The second lady's struggle ended in failure. Stayed in the room as if she was angry, and didn't even go out to see off her sister. She didn't walk out of the room until the eldest lady was far away, but asked me why I didn't stop the eldest lady.
What's strange, what can I do if I can't do it? What's even stranger, am I obligated to do these superfluous things?
"That's right...... It's me who is confused. β
The second lady smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, I remember that you like my piano very much?"
A few days ago, the sound of the second lady's piano made me think beyond the world, and my spiritual cultivation made great progress, and I almost broke through the level and upgraded, but unfortunately it fell short, this kind of thing can't be forced, I just joked casually, I didn't think she remembered.
"Would you like to come to the study and listen to my practice?"
There is no reason to refuse, although if you listen to it again now, you may not be in the mood at that time. Although Miss Two's performance will most likely not be free. But even if the chance of upgrading is only 1 in 10,000, it is worth the gamble.
Idle is idle anyway.
ββββ
The sound of the piano is more beautiful than a few days ago, a few days ago the second lady was just practicing, but today she is playing with all her strength, I can't tell the depth of her skills, maybe she really has a professional level, but the sound of the piano that plays under full tension is not what I want. The special wavelengths that resonate with me are not in her technique, otherwise I would have gone to catch a few piano masters to accumulate experience for me. The second lady can't get back the feeling she felt a few days ago, and I can't get it back either.
After two hours, the second lady finally slowed down, and it was a great drain to play with full attention, and if she continued to play, she would not be able to make a tune.
"It doesn't seem to work...... I'm sorry. β
The second lady sighed softly and smiled wryly.
Expected, there's not much to say. However, perhaps it was really God's blindness, and it was my turn to be lucky, and when both of them gave up, a miracle happened.
The sound of the piano became slower and slower, and Wen Yin no longer looked at the score, and tapped the keyboard casually with her feelings, but the few syllables when the second lady finally closed her fingers were like a clear spring pouring down on my head, making my mind extremely clear in an instant.
Then, the perception exploded, far beyond the floating platform, over the criss-crossing roads of Tenkyo City, and over the verdant countryside outside the city, until it broke through all limits and arrived at a beautiful land that haunted the soul.
I saw a green hill, the mountain spring murmuring in my ears, in the mist, my vision from the foot of the mountain gradually up to the top of the branch, when the last layer of fog burst in front of my eyes, I saw a pair of bottomless eyes......
When I regained my senses, only an insignificant second had passed, but my impression seemed as if a hundred years had passed, and the contradictions of perception were dizzying, and in a trance, I felt as if I had forgotten something very important, and that thing was waiting for me in a vision.
...... onepieceοΌοΌ
My instincts have always been credible, but this time it was ridiculous, and if there was any treasure, I would not forget it...... I hesitated for a moment, and finally put aside a trace of distraction in my mind and returned to reality.
The second lady wiped the beads of sweat from her face and threw me an apologetic smile. The upgrade of spiritual ability is only in an instant, there is no vision of purple qi coming from the east, the first bloom of the sun, etc., she can't see it at all, she just thinks that her hard work is in vain.
However, to be kind, the second lady was engrossed in two hours, and it was definitely not that she couldn't play the piano, obviously, she had a request for me, but it was not easy to speak.
Guess what, what does she want?
"You're worried about Miss?"
Wen Yin nodded: "Fang Ning's matter, as long as it is enough...... I don't want to put the people around me in danger because of myself. I can't stop my sister's decision, so I can only trouble you. β
You want me to chase the eldest lady back?
"No, that won't solve the problem, even if my sister is safe, I still have my parents and three brothers, and their cherished relatives and friends. They ......"
They knew they were being targeted by the killers, but they only hired me to stay at home with one bodyguard, and then ran out of the house as if they were not dying, and this kind of sacrifice and dedication is very entertaining to the public.
"They just don't know how terrible the killer is...... Mr. Wang, can I trouble you with something?"
...... Seeing those serious eyes, I suddenly guessed her thoughts, which were precious and ridiculous.
She said, "Don't worry about my safety for a while, take the initiative to kill the raven." β
Haha, as expected, the aristocratic lady who is ignorant of the world thinks as simple as paramecium, if it is so simple to solve the problem, I would have taken action a long time ago, not to mention anything else, I will ask you a question first.
β...... And then, if I kill the raven and you survive, what are you going to do?"
The second lady obviously didn't expect me to ask such a question, and her surprised look indicated that she hadn't thought about it at all.
"Heh, do you think it's still the Red Age, as long as the protagonist blows himself up, the forces of justice will be able to win a big victory? Haha, a capitalist like you has always been the villain in the Red Age, and only the ...... is to be blown up by others."
Moreover, don't you still understand that the existence of ravens is a good thing for today's scholars. Your unsuccessful father provoked the anger of the public, but the Yang family hired a killer to retaliate, which also violated the law of the aristocratic circle, if the Wen family died two or three people because of this...... Perhaps the turmoil will subside a little.
The second lady was silent for a long time, and said softly, "I...... I didn't know it had turned out like this. Father, brother, sister...... Never told me, I always thought that as long as there were no ravens, everything would be fine. β
You've been playing too many RPGs, right?
"Yes, compared to you, my thinking is really naΓ―ve and not worth mentioning, but I also have my insistence, and I will never tolerate the people around me being hurt...... Mr. Wang, I remember that in the Free Lancer Association, there is a provision on bodyguard duties that employers have the right to directly dismiss mercenaries without the permission of others on the premise of paying liquidated damages. Isn't it?"
...... What do you mean?
"Mr. Wang, I beg you personally, take the initiative to kill the raven. Otherwise, I'd rather give up my life. β
Okay, girl, you really commanded my army, a few days ago you worked hard to study the intelligence information of the Free Lancers, I thought you were curious, I couldn't think of such an idea.
Indeed, as long as she wants, she can let me get out of the Wen family now, and that amount of liquidated damages is just a drop in the bucket for the second lady of the Wen family.
Since you want to sacrifice yourself so much, then what's the harm if I fulfill you once? After staying in this house for so many days, arguing with the eldest lady, and admiring the brain-dead demeanor of a generation of family leaders, to be honest......
I'm tired.
ββββ
As I stepped down from the floating platform, I suddenly remembered a movie from the Earth Age. The Shawshank Redemption.
I stood in the shadows and looked up at the sky, the cold floating platform was like a layer of clouds shrouded in the sky over Tianjing, ridiculous and lamentable, how could such a building be allowed to be built in the dignified capital of China?
It doesn't matter, this huge piece of metal will one day fall with a bang, and the superior aristocratic families will also ...... Eat the and go.
That day will not be far away.
And for now, my task is to kill four people, which I like very much, and it is much more fun than protecting a noble lady. Ravens are quite powerful opponents, and they are used to sacrifice swords.
Before leaving, I asked Shichiro for information on the Raven, and the second-rate merchant told me that the whereabouts of the Raven were still uncertain, and the only thing I could confirm was that they were not in Tenkyo City. This is just nonsense, if I were replaced, I would not have run to Tianjing City to stay in Tianjing City at this time, and before me, there were not a few mutants who fell into the hands of the Special Operations Group of the Tianjing Public Security Bureau. It is said that many of them have been sent to secret laboratories to be made into specimens - not ** specimens, but organ specimens.
It's disgusting.
The second-rate merchant doesn't know anything, but it doesn't matter, I don't need to know where the raven is, I only have one person, and it would be too much trouble to take the initiative to find the location of the foursome...... Now that I'm not with the second lady, as long as Raven knows the news, with the style of the mastermind Tannis, I won't let go of such an opportunity.
Neither will I.
