3. Even if Heaven Falls (2)
hours ago.
"I'm going to Toulon. ”
In the face of Roland's statement that he was neither salty nor light, and fully explained what "calm" was, the three Arachnid members were speechless.
They are members of the Stasi Enforcement Force and are not high enough to know the Order's top secrets. But the rumors about the "Institute" are too "famous", and they themselves are the product of the subordinate institutions of the "Institute". After learning about the events that happened in the village of Tails, combined with Roland's too sudden decision and that destination, it was clear where and what to do on this trip.
After hesitating for a moment, the flower mantis opened its mouth timidly.
"This ...... Do you want to report ......?"
"No, you don't. ”
The voice was still calm, but a little more categorical.
"Officials and consortia are not contacted, especially the president and Stasi. ”
"It's against the rules. ”
The flower mantis with a stiff expression replied, and in order to highlight the strict nature of the question, he added:
"That lord wouldn't allow that. ”
"Is the human body actually permissible?"
“......”
Bearing the stern gaze, the flower mantis shrank back.
There was no change in his tone or expression, but there was a fierce anger in the depths of the purple pupils, and depending on the situation, Roland might even beat the flower mantis all over the ground to find its teeth - such a sinister atmosphere was constantly emanating from Roland.
The means are not a qiē, and the political activities and the political activities have moral principles that are different from ordinary people.
Li Lin taught him so, and his experience over the years has also proved the correctness of this sentence.
If you want to participate in the political game, in addition to your family background, qualifications, funds, and abilities, the most important premise is to make yourself as evil and insidious as other game participants - preferably more evil and insidious than them. Anyone who wants to "clean himself" and "cherish his feathers" often ends up in a dismal end. Roland had already met several of them, and for a while he wanted to use the pseudonym "Mark" to write a satirical novel in honor of those who had fallen from heaven to hell.
Compared with the political zhì, everything in the world is bright and beautiful.
But that doesn't mean there can be no bottom line!
The secrecy measures of that piece of Tianjing are very thorough. Even after cutting off the supply of biomass energy to keep the operation alive at the last minute, thanks to the built-in emergency treatment components, most of them were successfully deleted, leaving only a few fragments of fragments.
If it was an ordinary magician, he could only shake his head and sigh at this time. Roland, on the other hand, has long surpassed human or orc magicians in his cognition and understanding of the principles of phenomena. In some ways, he surpassed the elf's senior technician, coupled with his persistence and perseverance in the truth of this incident, he restored the magic circuit in the heavenly crystal little by little.
Magic is the use of Mana's ability to show "phenomena", and after being cast, it will inevitably produce various "distortions" and "discords", just as the kneaded and twisted cloth cannot be smoothed immediately, and the traces of the use of the magic will remain on the scene for a period of time. In a solid medium like Tianjing, the traces will be clearer and the residual time will be longer. Just investigate in detail, no matter who it is. You can find out what kind of technique you used and what kind of technique you used.
The results of the investigation confirmed his conjecture.
This man, or the creature that used to be a man, is a synthetic creature that has undergone modification and adjustment, Chimera. To put it more thoroughly, it is a prototype biological weapon made from the human body.
With such technical strength, except for Alfheim, he does not think about it. As for the reason, it is not difficult to imagine. In this incident. De Kiel et al.'s table xiàn is even more illustrative.
The moment he guessed the answer, Roland's heart burned with anger.
There is no shame in thirsting for strength. Whether it is an individual or an organization, in order to survive and realize ideals, strength is necessary. He understood this truth at a very young age, and he has followed it to this day.
But.
In the name of righteousness. The unscrupulous pursuit of power, and even the blasphemy of life without care, is the way of the devil.
"I'm going to see for myself what's going on. ”
The only readable information left within the Celestial Crystal is the action log, which may be of low importance. Or in order to make a backup of records in the event of an emergency such as mutual interference, the movement route of the alien has been preserved. Despite only sporadic fragments, Roland was able to get a rough grasp of the area where the research facility was located after the restoration.
On the coast of the Great Green Sea, the capital of the province of Charlemagnemanwar, near the port city of Toulon.
"I know that it is your duty to inform me of my every move, but I have my purpose, and although this purpose is not yet fully formed, I must go to Toulon for this purpose. To do this, I must force you to make a decision. ”
"This ...... This ......"
"You should know the consequences of that. ”
Instead of the dazed flower mantis, the bug said:
"Admittedly, we are powerless to stop your actions. Even the three of us, plus all of the Stacy troops in the city, are no match for you. But you should also know that any anomaly that happens here will alert the headquarters, and that the Lord will not be silent about it, even if it is you-"
"Of course I know that, so I want to know, what do I have to give you, what do I have to give to gain your loyalty? ”
"Uh...... Even if you ask, ......"
The flower mantis was still in a deep panic and couldn't extricate itself.
Roland's question was not only sudden, but seemed to be answered by the members of Arachnid, who had long been educated in loyalty and had given the highest priority to the organization......
"Master Roland. ”
The spider, who had been silent, asked:
"You mean, can we ask you for a reward?"
"That's right, as long as I can get it out, even if I can't it now, I will do my best to pay for it in the future. ”
"That being the case. ”
The spider nodded, a seductive smile on her face.
"I want your essence, young master. ”
“......”
Both the flower mantis and the worm were aware of the spider's open-mindedness, but when she heard this request, which was too natural for her, she was still too frightened to speak.
It is the instinct of living beings to reproduce offspring. The more high-ranking the Arachnid members are, the closer they are to the prototype of the modified imitation. Even the part of biological instinct is the same, but it is really ...... to make such a request as the price of betrayal at this moment
Either she's insincere, or she's a fool who thinks only with her lower body, and there's no explanation beyond that.
"Yes, I promise you. ”
Roland nodded.
"Young Master Luo!"
The flower mantis howled almost mournfully, and the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the floor and the screams of the girls could be heard outside the door.
Everyone knows that under Li Lin's calculations, Roland still adheres to his chastity. Roland, who values discipline and chastity as more important than his life, would be so light-hearted...... There was a sense of unreality inside and outside the house, and even the bugs showed surprised expressions.
"I said it was okay as long as it could be paid. ”
“......”
“......”
The bugs and flower mantis in the house, the girls eavesdropping outside the house, are either confused, or wolf, or anxious. They all fell into silence.
Ordinary peripheral staff are just that, spies are not a profession that can be talked about discipline, and betrayal and job hopping are commonplace. But special units such as the Arachnid, who specialize in "wet work", are different, not only by their knowledge of the size of the organization and the means of doing things, but also by their knowledge of the power of the supreme chief. It's hard to get them to make a decision now. Even the three people who were the easiest to communicate with and had a good impression of Roland might have the judgment that "it is more realistic to immediately report Roland's rebellion to the higher-ups". After all, good feelings are good feelings. No matter how beautifully the words are, the huge gap in strength is also there-those who want to fight against the divine will agent and transcend the species. It's just a human teenager.
In the face of this general gap between heaven and earth, how to judge seems to be very clear......
"It's not enough to be alone, I need more people, even if it's just one more partner. ”
After a pause, the boy said word for word:
"I need you. ”
Even the watchers around him couldn't win them over. And if they provide cooperation, Roland is just this kind of process. There is no way to disobey Li Lin's will, let alone achieve his goal.
If you really want to change something and get something back, you can't even do this little thing. Roland could not make any progress on the path destined to be full of thorns.
"I understand what you mean, but—"
Bug sighed.
"Assuming that I just pretend to obey the little young master, and still swear loyalty to that adult behind my back, the little young master can't judge, right?"
"That's right. ”
Roland nodded honestly.
"But I can only trust what you say. ”
"Will you trust me?"
The sneer on the worm's face was no different from a wry smile, trusting this kind of thing was cheap and expensive, especially for someone like her.
Betrayal and betrayal are commonplace for the inhabitants of the Hidden World, and the only one who can be relied upon and trusted is themselves. Believing in others means entrusting the most vulnerable behind to others, and there is nothing more dangerous than that.
"I have no other way, after all, I can't kill you just to keep your mouth shut. ”
“......”
Worm was silent again.
This is undoubtedly a threat.
It is also a threat that has a high chance of becoming a reality.
Among the Arachnid, the so-called "strongest" bug, the flower mantis that is the best hunter in the mimic system, and the few spiders that have advanced to LV4 - the above three people swarmed up and attacked Roland at the same time, and the chances of victory were also slim. If he really wanted to keep his mouth shut, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
Is it because they are innocent or because they are worried about arousing the alarm of "that one"?
Silence weighed on the heads of the group.
Minutes and seconds passed.
"-I see. ”
Once again, it was the spider that broke the deadlock.
"Not as a spy, but in my personal capacity I swear allegiance to Master Roland Dark. ”
"You ......"
The flower mantis moaned. Glancing at the flower mantis, the spider continued:
"It may be that the loyalty education is not up to par, or it may be that there is a problem with the modulation process, and I am a so-called off-specification product. He is not as loyal to the organization and that one as he says he is. than loyalty. Instinct comes more precedent. Ah, speaking of which, you're the only one who swears allegiance to the organization, the Flower Mantis. ”
"Are you serious?"
"After all, we are not in a position that we think is as stable as we think, and it is almost time to take a stand. ”
"Thank you, you've done me a great favor. ”
Hearing the spider's very personal opinion, Roland nodded with a wry smile.
"So- what are you going to do?"
The spider waved his hand. Keep an eye on the two companions.
###########
"At that time, it was very easy to say, but when I really faced it, it was really unbearable. ”
Swallowing a whole glass of cold water, with the afterglow of oppression, the spider said.
Superiors always have some unfathomable feelings, and some people pretend to be advanced because of their own limited abilities. The other part is that they are born with extraordinary powers, and just being close can be stressful. Li Lin can be regarded as the latter, and it is a very good one.
Whether it's a subordinate or an enemy. Anyone who wants to go against him has to think carefully about the consequences - such pressures.
"Right now, nearly eighty percent of the eyeliner in the mansion is under your control, the whereabouts of Jerus and De Kir are unknown, and the rest are scorpions and giant needle ants......"
The spider paused and said in a stern tone:
"Young Master. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Beware of those two. ”
The spider said word for word.
"Not only are those two LV4-level killers like me, but they're also bloodthirsty, and the means to entrap us won't work for them. ”
The vast majority of Arachnid members are people with personality defects, and after the modification of the operation, they are further stimulated to kill, and it can be said that bloodlust is a common phenomenon. But even in such a unit. Scorpions and giant needle ants are also extremely unusual battle freaks.
They can only live in hell full of blood and fire, and they only want to live in hell covered in corpses. Through guò killing, to seek the value of one's own existence. As the other members of the group privately called, these two men were out-and-out "frontline pigs".
It is a waste of effort to know such people and reason with emotion.
"It's easy for you to beat them, but those two are regular one-line contacts with the president, as long as the communication is cut off, or several reports are compared with each other and find inconsistencies. The president will immediately notice that something is wrong with the Governor's Palace. ”
Never trust information from a single source. This is the basis of intelligence agencies, and the same is true when it comes to spying on others. Although it is a little troublesome, it can prevent the danger caused by the defection of spies or being captured to the greatest extent, even if it is detected as it is now, it is not easy to deal with the eyeliner without alarming Li Lin. Only take your time to schedule......
"We don't have much time. ”
Roland shook his head. It's like looking through the window and looking to the north.
According to Roland's observations of Lilin and Alfheim so far, with the character of these guys who can even use tractor cannons for demolition, it is not inconceivable to destroy a village in order to annihilate the evidence of human reality.
The problem is that this operation not only mobilized powerful combat units such as De Keel and Jerles, which are strong enough to match the size of a divisional army, but also used weapons of mass destruction...... This kind of behavior, which almost violates the principle of confidentiality, can no longer be explained simply by "strong character". The only reason for this is that "they are in a hurry and have to do it in order to finish it before a certain point in time".
A certain point in time - a point in time when such combat power can be mobilized at the risk of exposure. Roland couldn't think of any other reason than to "go to war".
All of Yalfheim's actions revolve around the "creation of an independent elven state", and there are two routes to achieve this goal: political and economic means and military means. Although the former is difficult, if there is intention and patience, it may not be impossible to achieve a poor hundred years. The latter is a naked gamble on the fortunes of the country, but Yalfheim also has a lot of gambling books, and he may not have the opportunity to fight his way out of the encirclement with a small amount of money. Now that the building of the defense force has reached a considerable height, all that is needed is a suitable time.
Although Roland still can't see where this "right time" is, it can be seen from the anxiety that comes out of this incident that it is probably just recently.
We must do our best to act.
But even if he had such thoughts, he was now suppressed by the surveillance network of Li Lin's subordinates, and if he acted rashly, it would lead to an unpredictable situation. The only way to do this is to leave the District and go to Toulon without knowing it. It's difficult, but it has to be done.
"Help me find a few reliable doctors, preferably specialists in treating incurable diseases. ”
"Specialist in Male Diseases, Urology, Infertility?"
"This ...... It depends. ”
Roland nodded with a wry smile and handed the spider a note.
"Also go to this place and get in touch with the owners there and ask them to prepare the boat as much as possible. ”
"You're going to ......"
"Act deliberately, really, and quickly. Please. ”
Feeling the sincerity in the young man's eyes, the girl nodded silently. (To be continued......)
