Chapter 43: Significance
"July 1...... Is there anything special? Hugh asked, somewhat puzzled. She didn't think it was referring to the present, she just thought it was something that happened in a certain year in history.
Abner shook his head and didn't explain, he didn't know how to explain, he just turned around and said to Mr. Gaston, who was still guarding the passage behind: "I know what the source of the infighting here is, come with me!" ”
"You know again? Do you want it so fast? I have no clue! Compared to you, I always think I'm a retarded mind! Mr. Gaston's face changed and changed as he wailed about his intelligence, and then nodded numbly, he was now a little accustomed to the other man's 'suddenly known' style.
Finally, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, pretending to be calm and asked, "Where do we need to go?" ”
"Go to the bottom cabin, the person we're looking for is there." Abner replied in the affirmative. Through the previous clues, he has determined that this scene is the 'Battle Royale' incident instigated by Retris in the original book!
Seeing Abner and Gaston walking towards the stairwell, Hugh hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the lady who had lost his beloved, and said, "Hide yourselves, and we will soon restore order to the ship." With that, she trotted a few steps to keep up with Abner.
The lady glanced at Hugh's back gratefully, then suddenly asked, "My name is Cheley!" Miss, may I know your name? ”
Hugh didn't look back this time, but simply replied succinctly: "Hugh! ”
"Hugh ......," the lady secretly memorized the name, then picked up the dagger from the ground again, turned and hid in a nearby cabin. No matter how ruthless she is in her heart, she knows that she has no ability to deal with them, so she can only protect herself first, and not waste the life given to her by her benefactor and lover.
Gasstone, who was walking in front of him, smiled and said to Hugh: "There is no point in you doing this, and when this scene is over, she will no longer exist." ”
Hugh shook his head and said a little stubbornly: "She lives strong because of my words, even if it is only for a few minutes or hours, it is meaningful to me!" ”
"Whatever you want! What a little girl. Gaston shook his head and smiled. He actually didn't have bad intentions, he just felt that this kind of naivety was not suitable for the world of the extraordinary.
Hugh pursed his lips, looked at Abner in front of him, and after struggling for a moment, he still asked, "Abner, what do you think?" ”
Abner thought for a while before he said seriously: "Everyone has their own insistence, if you feel that you should, do it!" Don't care what other people think. This kind of persistence is the brilliance of human nature.
Hugh listened to this, and the corners of his mouth finally curled slightly, obviously happy because he was understood.
Most of the thugs on this ship were besieging the lowest compartment, so the more the three of Abner went down, the more enemies numbered.
Fortunately, Mr. Gaston seemed to have anticipated a similar situation, prepared a lot of explosives with a range of damage, coupled with the master-level combat qualities of Abner and Hugh, and the opponent was just a group of ordinary people, so he made it all the way to the bottom of the cabin.
This cabin was originally used to store the ship's food and fresh water, and it is thanks to these supplies that the people who have stayed inside have been able to survive until now.
Seeing the three of Abner storming in from the outside, the few men who were originally guarding the door of the cabin on the ground floor were all surprised, happy to naturally wait for help, and surprised that the combat effectiveness of these three people was really beyond their expectations, if there were evil intentions, they would definitely not be able to deal with it.
"Stop...... You...... Who are you? Seeing that the three of them were getting closer and closer, a blonde young man in a black suit raised the short sword in his hand at the door of the cabin and asked.
Abner stopped and did not answer the other party's question, but asked directly, "Who of you are in charge here?" ”
The people on the other side looked at each other and didn't reply.
Hugh frowned, and she let out the majesty of the 'arbiter', and repeated Abner's words in a low voice: "Who of you is in charge here?" ”
This time, the men did not hesitate any longer, but trembled and pointed to a middle-aged man dressed as a captain in the rear, and a boy with a round, kind face.
"We all listen to Captain and Tris!"
"Tris?" Abner looked at the shy boy in the corner, who looked like a little girl.
"It's me, sir. Is there anything wrong with you? Triss seemed a little frightened and looked uneasy, but his eyes were wandering, and it was clear that the sudden change had made him retreat.
"You are the one who instigated the infighting between the crew and the passengers, and made them kill each other! Am I right, Mr. Triss, the 'instigator' of the Gnostic? Abner pointed out the source of the infighting, then pulled out his revolver and fired six shots at Triss before everyone could react.
Because the scene was about to end, Abner was afraid that he would not have a second chance to strike, so he had already opened the Pure White Eye before he fired, and with the assistance of the 'Keeper of Knowledge' weapon master ability that he had experienced in advance in this state, these six bullets blocked almost all of Tris's dodge directions.
Although such an attack is pointless, it will not affect Triss in reality at all. But as Abner said before, there is some persistence, and he does what he wants. Having witnessed the misfortune of this boatload of people, he couldn't think of it if he didn't kill the culprit here.
But Triss was an 'Assassin' before he became the 'Instigator', and he was the most proficient at dodging and hiding in this sequence, and he had already thought of a countermeasure before he was shot, and his body was about to melt into the shadows of the cabin as soon as he retreated.
At this moment, the revolver in Hugh's hand also let out an angry roar, and the location of its impact was the shadow behind Tris!
As early as Abner pointed out that Tris was the 'instigator of the Gnostic', Hugh had already guessed what his friend would do next, because that was what she wanted to do: avenge the innocent victims of the ship as far as she could!
Even if it's just a fictional scene, she is upset and has to do it.
Hugh had been in contact with another instigator before, and had long known the abilities of this sequence. As a result, Tris's last chance of life in this scene is sealed, and his head is instantly pierced by bullets and shattered to the ground......
At the same time, the surrounding scene shattered, and everything was gone, except for the three figures wrapped in the fog of the dream and entered the reward.
……
In the real world, at the corner of the deck and the cabin on the Alfalfa, Cherie wept in despair in the face of two thugs who had already torn most of her clothes apart.
But at this moment, the movements of the murderers suddenly stopped, and their expressions seemed to be in a trance, Cherie didn't know where the courage came from at this moment, picked up the dagger that fell from the ground, and quickly slashed between the necks of the two people!
The two bodies fell to the ground one after another, and she was stunned for a long time by the blood splash, and stumbled to her lover who was nailed to the wall, she cried and stroked her lover's cheek, and then said to herself: "Honey, I thought I wouldn't be able to live without you...... But at that moment, I suddenly had courage and strength in my heart...... Maybe it's your blessing to me in the kingdom of the gods! ”
Speaking of this, she wiped away her tears and said in a firm tone:
"I'll live! Will live no matter what! Take your share with you! ”
……
At the bottom of the cabin, Tris, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly woke up, he first looked left and right vigilantly, then wiped his cold sweat, and thought suspiciously: "I seem to have had a nightmare, but I can't remember the content of the dream, only that I know that I have been killed...... In the occult, this may be a spiritual warning? ”
Thinking like this, Tris was shocked, thinking that something unexpected would happen, and thought to himself: "Anyway, this infighting is almost over, so let's end it early, so as not to really have an accident...... Although the number of deaths is still less than expected......"
At this time, the captain beside him saw that his expression was unnatural, and asked with concern, "Mr. Triss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Terry immediately smiled shyly......
……
What Abner and Hugh did was not for nothing!
