After a whistle, a cruise ship slowly left the port, accompanied by the loud roar of the engine, the cruise ship's speed slowly increased, and as it sailed out of the Elven River, the billowing steam from the huge chimney also left a gray line in the sky.

Standing on the deck and looking at the giant tree that stood up to the sky, there were few people who could not be shocked by the gray-white trunk that reached into the sky when they saw the pale tree, and for the first time Shigego was so far away from home, he was even more shocked and speechless, and he couldn't even see the whole picture of the big tree from this position on the deck.

The shock was followed by sadness and confusion, sadness because Ling couldn't enjoy the magnificent scenery together, and confusion because he hadn't figured out how to explain to them when he saw them.

Emilio took him out of Jiangcheng and came to the Elven River, bought a ticket for him, and left after sending him on the boat, Shigego is not very good at communicating with people, and Emilio is not a person who likes to talk, so the two of them didn't talk except for necessary conversations along the way, so in the end, Shigego didn't figure out anything except knowing that Emilio didn't plan to go to the capital, and it would be a little difficult to see her again in the future.

Thinking of this, Chonggo was a little annoyed, he should at least ask for her contact information, obviously she helped him with so many things, but there is no regret medicine in this world, Chonggo had to pray that he would thank her again when he met Dr. Emilio again in the future, if he could still meet her.

A salty, icy sea breeze came over his face, and Shigego tightened his clothes, but he still felt a little cold, and was about to go back to the cabin, but at that moment something hit him the head, and he stumbled, and almost fell.

Jugo turned his head and found the culprit from the ground that almost caused him to fall, it was a green fruit, he put it in his hand and pinched it, and found that its skin was so hard that he couldn't even put it in with his fingernails. He even put it under his teeth and bit it, but there were no tooth marks, and Shigego, helpless against the fruit, raised his hand and prepared to throw it into the sea.

"Many people will see the fruit of the Pale Tree as a sign of good luck. "A Moro man stood behind Shigego, well-dressed, his thinning hair waxed and shiny, his skin seemed to be very pale because he had not seen light for a long time, and the most striking thing was his left eye, which wore a black blindfold.

Shigego put down his hand holding the fruit and took two steps back, his back hitting the iron guardrail, and the sudden appearance of the Moro man behind him made him a little uncomfortable.

The Moro man didn't care so much, he walked to Jugo's side, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the giant tree beyond the railing, "You're lucky, the pale tree often drops fruit this season, and from that height falls, people are smashed every year, and you're really lucky that you weren't smashed." ”

"Uh. Shigego didn't know what to say, he picked up the fruit in his hand, and looked up at the huge branch above his head, so the fruit that fell high should really be fast, so why was he okay?

Shigego touched the back of his head, and it was fine except for some pain.

"You seem to have something on your mind. The Moro stopped looking at the tree and walked up to Jugo, who was about the same height as Shigego as a Moro man, "You can talk to me. ”

"Do we know each other?" asked Shigego hesitantly, would the average person ask someone he met for the first time to confide in him? Although Shigego didn't know much about the Moro people, he had seen quite a few Moro people in Shiva before, and it seemed that ordinary people would not make such a request.

"I didn't know each other before, but now I do, my name is Snef. Sneve held out his right hand to Shigego.

Although Shigego didn't want to shake hands with him, it wasn't good to leave Sneve there like that, so he had to shake it up, but when he wanted to pull his hand back, Sneve didn't let go, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Your name?"

Shigego was uncomfortable with being grabbed by him like this, but Sneff's four fingers clamped his hand tightly like iron claws, so he had to answer Sneff's question with great reluctance, "My name is Shigego." ”

Sniff let go of his hand with satisfaction, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Shigego. ”

But I'm not happy to see you, said Shigego in his heart, but on the surface he replied, "Me too, Mr. Sniff." ”

There were so many people on the deck, Shigego didn't know why Sneef came to his side, was it just because he was hit on the head by the fruit, Shigego looked at the fruit in his hand, and thought, this is a lucky fruit, it's purely a ** annoyance.

"Well, Mr. Sniff, if it's all right, can I go first?" Shigego cautiously took two steps back, keeping a proper distance from Sniff, he wanted to get out of the weirdo as soon as possible.

"What if I say no?" Sniff looked at him with interest, waiting for his answer.

"Forehead......" Shigego felt very entangled, he attributed all this to that unlucky fruit, why did he find me, and how should he get out now?

"There's still a long way to the capital, and you're going to be bored in the seats in the cabin?" said Sniff, sitting on the iron railing of the deck, and looking at Jugo with his own eyes.

He's not going to fall like this, isn't it, Shigego looked at Sneve sitting on the iron railing, feeling that things were getting troublesome, he really wanted to walk away, but if Sneve fell like this, would it be counted on his head, he turned around and wanted someone else to stop Sneve from continuing his dangerous behavior, but the people on the deck ignored it as if they couldn't see him.

As he was thinking about it, he saw Sneef suddenly lying backwards, and he was about to fall into the sea, so he hurriedly took two steps forward, but saw Sneef hooking the iron fence with his foot and hanging upside down on it, and Shigego was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out.

"Look, it's a magnificent view, isn't it?" Snef, who hung upside down on the guardrail, squinted at the pale tree behind him, his expression as if he were admiring a masterpiece of excellence.

The cruise ship had completely sailed out of the Elven River, and from this angle, Shigego could see the whole picture of the giant tree in the sky, and the pale branches were like a sharp sword piercing the sky from the sea, spreading branches and leaves in the sky, and he must admit that it was a very beautiful and magnificent picture, if you didn't have a madman hanging upside down on the guardrail.

"Mr. Sniff, are you going to come up?" Snef, who hung upside down on the guardrail as if he was about to fall at any moment, made Shigego look very worried.

"No, no, the view is great. "Sneve is immersed in his own world.

"Can I go, then?" Shigego didn't want to stay with this madman anymore, and it was really cold on deck.

"No, don't worry. Sneve wasn't going to let Shigego go go like that, he asked, "Have you ever heard of 'Newton'?"

"I haven't heard of it. Shigego shook his head, "Is this your acquaintance?"

"That's the latest research result of the University of Volquan, the prototype of a steam bullet train, with a top speed of 120 kilometers per hour and a carrying capacity of around 700 tons, she is an epoch-making steel beauty. Sneve lifted his upper body and proudly introduced it to Shigego as if he had made it.

"Uh, that's what you studied?"

"Of course not. Sneve replied with a strong sense of reason, and lowered his upper body again, "Do you know what happens if you get hit by Newton?"

Shigego shook his head.

"The nose of a locomotive at 120 km/h will carry a huge momentum and shatter the bones all over your body, and then your body will be run over by hundreds of wheels one by one, and finally it will turn into a pile of debris, I mean the very sparse kind, but don't worry, you won't feel pain, because you will be dead on the first impact. "Of course, if you're careful enough, this won't happen, Newton will only run on dedicated rails, and as long as you're far away from those tracks, you'll be safe." ”

Shigego was starting to be sure that Snef's brain was not normal, would a normal person study this kind of problem, and now he really wanted to just turn around and walk away.

"But the steam train is still a foreign thing to this world, and there are always people who ignore warnings of danger and run onto the tracks, especially disobedient children, believe me, they will forget to run away in the face of a train that is coming towards them at 120 kilometers per hour." ”

"So, imagine you're standing next to two parallel rails, with the lane changer at your hand, and it can make a roaring 'Newton' change lanes urgently, and on the track where Newton is running, there are nine children playing, and on the other track there is a child they have ostracized and pulling grass roots. ”

"None of them noticed 'Newton', you tried to warn them, but they were too far away from you, they couldn't hear you, you were the only one who could decide their life and death, pull down the lane changer, 'Newton' would crush that lonely child, if not, then those nine children would be crushed to death, Shigego, what are you going to do?"

Sniff's voice was magical, and Shigego felt as if he was really standing by the two parallel railroad tracks, and a steel beast was roaring in the sky, and a life-and-death lane changer was in his hand, and Sneef kept urging, "Oh, Shigego, you have to hurry, Newton's speed doesn't allow you to think for so long." ”

Shigego looked down at Sneve who was hanging on the railing and watching his joke, and shook his head, "Why me?" He didn't like the question, he felt a little pitiful for the little boy who stood alone on the railroad tracks and was ostracized, but there were nine children on the other side, so he didn't want to do this multiple-choice question.

"Oh, are you trying to escape?" Sneef stared at Shigego, "pretending not to see anything, not listening to the screams of the nine children as they were run over by Newton, as if everything had nothing to do with you, but it doesn't matter, running away is also an option." ”

"No!" Shigego hurriedly retorted.

"Where isn't?" Sneve stared at Shigego, the one-eyed eye looking inside him like a scale.

Chonggo was a little hairy by his staring, but he couldn't answer.

"Since you can't answer this question, let's change the multiple-choice question. Sneve took out a tin box-like object from his pocket and aimed it at Shigego, "I have an emerald bullet in my pistol, and under the impact of a silver firing pin, it will rush out of the barrel at a speed of more than 500 meters per second, at such a close distance, I can use it to easily blow off your head, don't try to run away, trust me, you won't run faster than my bullet." ”

Shigego swallowed, he was still a little skeptical of Sniff's words, but he was a madman, what if he really had something dangerous in his hands?

So he had to stay where he was and watch Sneve move, which made him more satisfied," It can be seen that you don't want to die, then I offer you another option, I am now hanging upside down on the railing, my health is not good, my feet have long been hanging for so long and my feet have long been out of strength, you just need to gently break my feet and let me fall from here, the propeller of the cruise ship is directly below us, it is rapidly stirring the seawater, pushing the cruise ship forward, I will soon be sucked by the current stirred up by the propeller, with my physical strength, it is impossible to get rid of it, in a few seconds I will be crushed by the propeller and become a pile of bait in the sea of small stars。 ”

Sneef said as he pulled out another pocket watch from his pocket, "Now start the timer, you have one minute to choose, whether you push me down and kill me or I'll shoot you when the countdown is over." ”

"Wait, wait, why are you doing this, I... You ......" Shigego was already incoherent.

"One of us died because of you, and that lady asked me to bring her greetings. Sneve stared at Shigego with a wicked smile on his face, "Attention, you're running out of time!"

"Wait a minute!" Shigego yelled, "who are you talking about, who is that lady?"

Instead of answering, Sneef threw away his pocket watch and pointed the muzzle of his pistol at Shigego's head, "Unfortunately, it's time!"

A burst of firelight accompanied by a loud bang obscured Shigego's vision.

"Ahh

Shigego lowered his head and found that his clothes were all wet with sweat, he was sitting in the cabin of the cruise ship, and the passengers next to him looked at him reproachfully, and Shigego hurriedly sat down in his place.

It turned out to be just a nightmare, he actually fell asleep on the chair after returning to the cabin, he must have been too tired, but why did he have such a nightmare?

Maybe it's because of these recent events, why did Rei become like that?Shigego casually put his hand in his pocket, and suddenly, his expression froze, and he took out a hard cyan fruit from his pocket, the fruit of the pale tree.
