The sheriff came to check on the man who was believed to be a thief, and he soon recognized the man as Marl, the town was not very large, and there were not many residents who settled in the town except for the travelers who came and went.

As the sheriff of the town, he naturally knew everything, and his past sheriff actually knew about Mal, a former pirate hunter, and his past experience gave Mal a wealth of savings.

So normally, Mal would never be a thief easily, and the sheriff felt that there might be some hidden secrets in this.

So he immediately called in many people who had seen Mar during the day, one of Mal's friends confirmed that Mal had put him at the entrance and exit of the town today to help him keep an eye on a person, and the apprentice at the tavern proved that Mar had taken leave of absence and did not come to work at the tavern today.

At this time, Akkad seemed to be sure of something, and he said: "I remembered this man, during the day I heard some unusual noises in the tavern, so I was going to go in and see if anyone needed help, but this gentleman came to me and sold me wines from the southern continent, but unfortunately I never drink, and when I saw that no one needed help, I left, but at that time this gentleman told me that such wine can be used to entertain some distinguished guests, so I thought for a while. ”

The apprentice of the tavern hurriedly said: "Well, the wine from Nanda Road is very expensive, and it is impossible for ordinary people to afford it. ”

"Maybe that's when this Mr. Marr thinks I must have some spare money in my hands!" Arcade said.

For some reason, the apprentice didn't come forward to explain that Marl had helped him pay for breaking the wine deposit.

If he had said so, the sheriff would have noticed that something was wrong, for why would Mal covet the money in the hands of Mr. Arcade when he had so much spare money to help the apprentice?

It's just that now all the evidence is against Mar, and the part where Mar was shot is completely critical, and by the time the sheriff arrived, Mar had fallen into a deep coma, and the doctor also determined that Mar could not survive at all.

In this case, the case can almost be qualified, and although the sheriff feels that there will be some details in this incident that he has not observed, it is a pity that he cannot find any clues that can refute his argument.

In the crowd of onlookers who no one noticed, there were two people out of place who were observing the direction of the situation at this time, and the most conspicuous one of them was a person with long silver-white hair, yes, they were Ulorius and Chu Li.

"Is this fate?" Chu Li saw this scene and said slowly.

"The fate I understand, fate is cold and cruel, fate will favor some people, fate will snub some people, fate will never be just, fate will not lead things in a good direction, or fate is fate, he has no life of his own, and he does not have his own preferences." Ulorius said.

Although Ulorius said it in a very general way, Chu Li also understood what the other party meant.

Fate is lifeless, and there is no humanity, fate keeps moving forward, will not change itself because of something, and fate will never change because of anything.

Therefore, Ulorius will never use the authority of fate to retain his humanity, after all, the archangels of the path of fate have the ability to restart themselves, and if they want to, they can completely reincarnate themselves into a young age and let themselves re-experience their childhood, and the experience of childhood is indeed the most stable human nature.

But in fact, Ulorius is one of the least human and most divine angels among all the angels.

"I don't think that's good." Chu Li said, and then Ulorius exerted his authority.

It was as if the whole town had been restarted, back to the early morning before.

Mal had gotten up early today, but his morning life was no different from before, and this time he still came to the tavern, unlike the last time, Mal came to the tavern a little earlier than the last time.

The apprentice had just picked up the wine barrel from the table, but his feet suddenly slipped, he subconsciously held the table with one hand, and then he reacted, but unfortunately it was too late, the wine barrel broke away from his hand and almost fell to the ground, fortunately at this time the other two hands grabbed the wine barrel.

As soon as Marr entered the tavern, he saw the apprentice beating the barrel, and he immediately stepped up to the apprentice's side, reached out and picked up the barrel.

Mal's previous experience as a pirate hunter gave him plenty of reaction speed and time.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Marr!" The apprentice reacted and hurriedly thanked him, if it wasn't for Mal just now, he might have been kicked out by the owner of the tavern, and even had a lot of debts, and he didn't know when he would be able to pay it off, and his life might be over.

"Be careful yourself, no one will be able to help you next time." Mar said indifferently, and at this time, Mar suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his back.

He realized that he had just sprained his lower back, and that he had actually injured this part before, just on the sea, and that there was also a reason why he had left the sea to settle in the town.

Marr hurriedly held himself on the back, and the apprentice came to help him.

But it wasn't before the sharp pain made Mal's face twist, and it took him a while to relieve.

Mar said, "No, I have to go home and rest today, you can help me ask the boss for leave!" ”

"Mr. Marr, I'll treat you to a drink next time!" The apprentice said that he was a little grateful, if it wasn't for Mal helping him, he would be absolutely finished, but the other party twisted his back because of this.

Marr nodded, he got up and walked a few steps, realizing that his sprain shouldn't be particularly bad, and that he could make it to the doctor's house in the small town.

Marr walked slowly out of the tavern with an awkward expression, just as he saw Arcade standing in front of the tavern.

The two men looked at each other instantly.

……

In the middle of the night, Mar came to Akkad's house, Akkad's house was brightly lit, and Akkadian had experienced too much darkness as a pirate, and after he got out of the darkness and had a stable life, he was afraid of the night, so at night, as long as he had not fallen asleep, the lights were always on.

During the day, because Mal sprained his lower back, he and Akkad looked at each other, and Akad didn't notice anything wrong with Mal's eyes, but thought that the other party's expression was a little distorted by low back pain.

Arcade was unguarded this time, and before the pistol was held against his lower back, Arcade didn't know that his identity was revealed.

Marr took the telescope and held it in his hand, seeing the model of the telescope and the bullet embedded in it.

"You used to be a pirate, weren't you?" Akkad! I can't be wrong with this telescope. ”

When Akkad heard this, his brain was racing, and soon he said directly: "Yes, I am a pirate, but you should not believe the rumors that a pirate will hide his treasure somewhere on the sea and leave a treasure map, right?"

For most pirates, money is not kept for the future, and even if I am the special one, I will not bury it in the ground and hide it on an island, but will use it to buy some property and wait for retirement in old age.

So in fact, I don't have much money, but if you say a number, I'll find a way to get it for you, how about it, anyway, you have the handle of my identity, and you don't have to worry about me going to the police. ”

Marr didn't answer Akkadian's words, he took the telescope and said slowly, "This telescope? ”

Arcade hurriedly responded, "You should be able to see my identity through this telescope, right?"

I used to be called the lucky pirate on the sea, because once I was almost shot by a man with a short gun during an operation, and a bullet was embedded in this telescope, and if it was a little off, it would hit me in the heart, so that I would die, but that time I was not even injured at all.

So people called me the lucky pirate, thinking that I was protected by the god of pirates, and I wore this telescope all the time as my amulet, but it was nothing special. ”

Akadian's words completely confirmed the identity of the other party, and Ma responded, "Remember the man who shot you?" It's a shame his bullet hit your telescope, but this telescope won't protect you forever!

At the same place where you killed the man, there was a tree hole next to it, and there was a child in the hole who watched you murder his parents, and now he wants revenge! ”

As he spoke, he shot without hesitation.

When Arcade heard the other party's last words, he was already in a hurry to turn around and attack Mar.

It's a pity that he still has a chance to succeed in this method if he faces ordinary people who have not undergone special training, but he is now old, and he is facing a former pirate hunter.

Akkad didn't have the slightest chance, and he proved an argument with his own life, that the gun was fast at seven paces, and the gun was accurate and fast within seven steps.

The bullet passed sideways through his chest, and Akkad fell to the ground.

It didn't take long for the town's sheriff to arrive.

Seeing that the sheriff did not resist, Marr chose to lower his pistol, because he had killed a once vicious pirate who had even murdered his parents, and he had a reason to kill him directly after determining the identity of the other party.

At the same time, many of Mal's friends also came out to testify to him, and Mal once went around tracking down a telescope that had been hit by a bullet.

The sheriff announced that if it was determined to be true, then Mar would be acquitted on the spot.

The story seems to be moving in a good direction.

Chu Li and Ulorius watched this scene not far away, Chu Li said: "Fate is constantly weaving, many details are combined together to form a river, this torrent of fate continues to move forward, wrapping everything in it, I can control these details and build a dam to determine the direction of the torrent." ”

"But such a fate is only in your hands! Is the fate of being controlled still fate? Is a mastered life still a life? Even if it is the of fate, one point will burst. Ulorius's words made Chu Li fall into deep thought.

Chu Li didn't expect that Ulorius, the most divine angel, would have such an understanding and idea of fate.

Fate is by no means as simple as simple control, his previous thoughts were a little too off, he only felt that he had to use his own strength to control fate, so that he could break fate, but fate cannot be completely mastered by manpower alone.

Chu Li asked Ulorius to restart the town again, and the time returned to early morning.

Mar came to the tavern again, and this time Mar's movements were basically no different from the first time he acted, because Chu Li did not interfere with the fate of Mar, or anyone in this town, and Ulorius did not interfere either.

Soon, time came for Mal to emerge from the pitch-black, Akkad house.

The pistol was stealthily aimed at Mal's back.

Finally, as Mal walked in the direction of the docks, the pistol fired.

Marl fell to the ground again.

"Mr. Marl, no way, who told you to hold me like this?

Although I used to be a pirate, I have changed and now I have a peaceful life, and I live comfortably every day.

If you pretend not to see me, or don't chase me, then I will live in another city after today, in fact, I don't want to kill you, after all, those fights and killings have long been gone from me.

It's a pity that you ended up on the wrong path. "Akkad is very confident, he just shot Marr in the back, the position of the back of the heart, the other party will not live long.

However, just as he approached Mar, Mal, who was lying on the ground, suddenly pulled out his pistol and shot Arcade five times in the chest.

Suddenly, Akkad fell directly to the ground.

He felt his strength slowly losing ground, his vision slowly darkening, and he knew he was dying.

Before dying, out of the corner of his eye, Arcade saw Mal remove a telescope from his back.

On that telescope, there were two bullets embedded in it.

One of them was old and rusty, and the other was new and hot.

His bullet hit Marl, but it hit the telescope that Marl had taken.

This, as if, is the arrangement of fate.

Seeing this scene, Ulorius's expression did not change in the slightest, but he turned his head to look at Chu Li, and he said: "According to the choice of normal fate, it is impossible for Mar to survive, if the bullet wants to be embedded in the monocular, it must be at exactly the right angle, even if it is only a little off, it will graz into Mar's body."

And this single-way telescope has already helped its owner block such a projectile twice in a row. ”

"I haven't changed my fate, all of this is a choice of fate." When Chu Li saw this scene, he said slowly.
