041. Pride

Caesar had a dream.

In his dream, he meets a strange woman who looks like a mirror image of himself, with knives and guns on both sides, and both sides are scythes, and both want to open the other side's skull.

And the woman almost succeeded.

At the moment when the sharp wind pressed on the neck, the dream woke up, and the woman's unbridled laughter was shattered, "See you next time, brother." The last of his voice was pulled away, and he leapt over the ruins of his subconscious, looking up to see a silver mirror as round as a full moon.

As if someone had punched him hard, the silver mirror started from the center of the circle, and the cracks spread outward, vaguely forming the shape of an eye.

is watching.

Caesar's hand reached for the holster, and the source of his gaze was not a mirror—a dead thing, of course—but another person in the room.

Ushu sat cross-legged, staring straight ahead with a blank expression, but his gaze was as sharp as a sword, able to pierce through all obstacles in front of him.

Caesar's other hand grasped the handle of the knife, and the stabbing pain in his lower back made his movements stagnate, but the movement of drawing the knife did not lose shape in the slightest.

He's not looking at himself.

There was the sound of soft, soothing breathing behind me.

You don't have to look back to Caesar to imagine Lu Mingfei's terrible sleep as he lay on the ground, humming and grinding his teeth.

[Are you a knight or an emperor?] ]

It was as if there were ghostly interrogations lingering in my ears, with laughter that flickered and flickered. Caesar shook his sword to cut through distracting thoughts, and faced the humanoid monster in front of him with a strong predator aura. Hell, didn't this guy say that he would swear to protect Lu Mingfei's safety?

Beasts are still beasts. Caesar sneered.

"Stand down." Caesar said.

With the pride of a knight, the harshness of an emperor.

"You're ordering me? Mankind. ”

Wu Shu withdrew his gaze, and he finally woke up from his stupor, and a flame condensed in his pupils.

"Back off." Caesar repeated.

His knife and spear were pointed diagonally at the ground, drawing an invisible line.

Ushu looked down at the ground, then rubbed his heel against the bronze bricks, as if checking their quality. Caesar pulled the trigger without hesitation, but all the bullet pinned was a mist of fire mixed with shattered metal.

The loud sound that pierced his ears was accompanied by the trembling of the ground, and the wind pressure was like a hammer blasting head-on, and the flaming monster once again broke free from the shackles of the human form, and turned into an iron cone that chiseled through the military formation in the posture of Shura.

Caesar's face remained unchanged, he stuck the back of the knife with the hilt of his gun, held the knife in both hands, and slashed at his back the moment the fire mist dispersed his vision.

"Huh?" Uyu was slightly surprised. The hunting knife embedded in the scale armor of his arm, digging deep into his muscles, locking him in the range of the opponent's wind attack. Caesar pulled the trigger, the primer fired, and the 0.44 caliber Magnum bullet was dug into Uzai's chest within 50 meters.

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward and slammed Caesar into the pillars of the room, and they roared and rolled in the bronze room, the flames surrounding them flickering and extinguishing.

Until they parted, Caesar's hunting knives had been blown off, the barrels of the Desert Eagle's guns were red, the blood of the Desert Eagles was burning in the air, and they gasped in the corner of the room, like two beasts trapped in a cage, each with a desperate frenzy.

"Why the back." U Huo said.

"You're so fond of sneak attacks, always attacking from the corner of your sight." Caesar sneered, "A beast is a beast after all." ”

"Beasts?" The word seemed to sting Uyu, "Humans, you were just a bunch of monkeys when we carved the code on the bronze pillars. While I swear allegiance, you are repeating the so-called political farce of betrayal and betrayal. Backward lower animals, mongrels, what do you think you are? ”

"I'm Caesar Gattuso."

The blonde young man stood up with a broken knife, with a sprain on his right wrist, maybe a little bone crack, painful breathing, and probably a few broken ribs...... But he still stood up straight, his blonde hair still shining like the sun.

"You can call me Caesar, I don't like the last name Gattuso."

Wu Yu's fingers clenched. "You...... Arrogant to the point of stupidity. ”

There was an inexplicable emotion in Caesar's eyes, "Man lives for pride." The beast doesn't understand it. ”

Proud?

Pride will ruin you.

Wu Shu looked at the young man, as if he saw the high-spirited self in the past. On the day of the fall of the White Emperor City, he received an order to guard, but for the sake of so-called pride, he went out of the palace and participated in the war.

The speed of the hot blade piercing through the breastplate became faster and faster, and while the blood was still in the air, a new neck was severed. So the blood rain did not stop, as if there was a strange mandala blooming in the air.

He was immersed in the joy of killing, until a high pole was erected in the middle of the city, and the child was hung on top of the high pole, and his eyes were closed, and the flames of the whole city were burning the child.

At the same time, it burned his pride.

Later, he took off his armor and volunteered to become a mausoleum keeper, even when the hills turned into rivers and the flames were extinguished in the biting cold wave.

He is the guardian of the mausoleum, the most loyal sword of Norton, the Grey King, and has no desire or pride.

His job is to get the job done, no matter how unreasonable it sounds.

Whether it's deception or framing, anything can be a means to an end.

Oh, yes...... Ucho sighed. There is no need for him to fight to the death with the guy in front of him for the sake of so-called pride.

It's weird, it's not like itself.
