Chapter 969 Mental collapse
Okay, the way of waving the folding fan and singing the opening poem is indeed incompatible with the overall style of this universe, but other than that, it seems that this is really an ordinary lady. .
She was wearing an ordinary travel windbreaker, simple and even slightly shabby overalls, and thick outdoor boots. She looked like a traveler who had traveled a lot.
However, such an ordinary dress is wrapped very closely on her tall and fit body like a female leopard. The clear soup noodles without any makeup on her face make it even harder to conceal her beauty. This pair is only around thirty years old, and is in the most attractive stage of a human woman. Her facial features are dignified and majestic, with a very three-dimensional sense of sculpture, and her pair of deep black eyes are like the night sky containing starlight. Her silvery lavender hair was tied into a simple ponytail on the back of her head, but it somehow had a luxurious feel like the elaborately designed palace makeup and hair of a noble lady.
...Wait a minute, why do I think such a woman is ordinary? For a lady with such a figure, such looks, and such manners, it is much more difficult to make herself ordinary than to have her aura eight meters away, right?
What's more important is that not only is her sense of existence as weak as a passerby, but she can't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations on her body, and even her vitality is not as strong as those of ordinary fitness enthusiasts who live a regular diet, nutrition, and exercise moderately.
Only then did Yu Lian realize that the reason why he observed the other party so carefully was simply because he was sure that someone else was here, and she also wrote a concluding poem that was difficult to describe.
But if he passed her by on the road, he would never notice her presence.
When he thought of this, Yu Lian really felt a bit chilly on the back of his neck, and his heart also felt cold.
This is the legendary "Now" lady, one of the three highest-ranking leaders of the World Serpent.
I heard that King Slein, the commander of the Imperial Army at the Gate of Glory, was killed because of the work of the World Serpent. Indeed, if this lady takes action herself, the success rate is indeed extremely high.
...No, the "now" lady thing doesn't matter at all. Importantly, where is Brother Krell? Where has my old brother, Claire Belmont, gone? Why did he suddenly disappear from the world?
...Well, that’s not right. Even if Brother Krell was really wiped out on the spot, it wasn’t really that important. The important thing is that a living alliance leader, one of the top demons in the universe, has just appeared. Compared with the real Lord of Snakes, the original Thorn Witch was kind, loving, gentle and harmless.
Don’t talk about martial ethics! Yu Lian stared at Miss "Great Prophet" fiercely, deeply despising this style of swaying others even if they can't beat them, and even the boss. Of course, he immediately noticed that this energetic six-ring psychic, who was obviously an auxiliary but could not be killed by the snake head, could restore his potential blood from hemiplegia by taking a few small pills. Niu, his breath is now as weak as an old man who has been ill for a long time.
It seems that the so-called "replacement" just now consumes not only spiritual energy, but also blood, physical strength, and even so-called vitality. This should be the last life-saving trump card of "Prophet" and "Hunter".
Krell fell under such means, but it was not unjust. I just hope that his spirit in heaven can bring us good luck. Yu Lian silently prayed for Brother Krel to rest in peace.
However, the Tilik woman's eyes were full of sorrow and pleading, but her whole aura had relaxed, like a cub that had seen its mother.
"Ma'am, please save me. Please..."
"It's so ugly! Little Goddess." The lady known as "Now" reached out and touched the head of the "prophet": "Our plan failed, didn't it? Little Tommy Terry's wings of dreams will soon be It's going to die young, right? But isn't it the result of your 'psychohistory' prediction ability to increase cooperation with Little Tommy Terry's empire and support them to become the third pole of the universe?"
"Yes, but the premise is that... the Great Khan and her empire can survive the initial storm." Ms. Twi'lek finally cried: "I failed you, I failed her, I failed the great Mentor.”
"You just failed yourself. But, little goddess, this is not the end of the world."
The Snake Lord patted the shoulder of his subordinate who was crying on the ground comfortingly, but did not see any movement from her. The latter's weak state immediately eased a lot.
The sense of crisis in Yu Lian's heart became even worse. The other party must have used some very profound healing psychic technique. With just one flick, even Miss Prophet's life that was about to be cut off seemed to be restored. However, he still couldn't feel even a little bit of psychic energy fluctuations.
At this time, she turned to look at the Dragon Inspector, who was so frightened that his breathing almost stopped, and nodded with a dignified attitude: "Oh, Mr. Shi Xin, you are an extraordinary law enforcer with a strong sense of responsibility. I I admire your sense of responsibility.”
Then, she looked at Yu Lian who could not hide his curious expression: "Huh? It's you."
"You know me?" Yu Lian asked.
"You should have had an understanding of your fame a long time ago, little hero. If you don't know much about it, then you might as well make yourself a prelude poem first. You are also an Earthling, and you are also a traditional East Asian. Asians should be able to appreciate these three flavors, right?" She persuaded very sincerely.
"I don't think that thing should be called a setting poem... Wait, you are from Earth too."
"Of course I am an Earthling." The lady smiled and patted her chest: "I am an Earthling of the Blue Flag."
Yu Lian looked at the other party's pair of black eyes filled with starlight and long lavender hair that was full of mystery. He thought to himself that I really believed him, so he gave him an awkward yet polite smile.
"Now the woman" laughed indifferently, turned around and looked at the body of the Razakai who seemed to have turned into charcoal, and sighed: "It's useless even after treatment. This should also be your handiwork. ?”
Yu Lian proudly raised his chest, and then said in a deep voice: "Where is my friend?"
"Don't worry, he is intact. I still have some connections with the 'ordinary families' in the alliance." She made the ordinary family more serious, so everyone understood what she meant instantly.
For some reason, Yu Lian felt that what this lady said should be correct, so he couldn't help but said: "Would you like to elaborate on this origin? At least a thousand words?"
Inspector Shi Xin glanced at Yu Lian and thought to himself, you are too nervous, right? He is a first-level inspector of the Extraordinary Management Bureau, and despite all his efforts, he can barely stand upright in front of this snake lord with infinite majesty. But if you look like this, wouldn't it be a foil? Am I particularly incompetent? Even so, he never dared to relax at all. It is precisely because he is a confrontation expert of the Snake Organization that he knows what the power of an alliance leader means.
In comparison, Yu Lian is indeed much more relaxed than the inspector. He has never felt any spirituality from this lady, and naturally there is no trace of murderous intent or hostility. Even the other party's stance and movements appear to be full of flaws.
What's the saying? When your whole body is full of flaws, there will be no flaws at all.
Yu Lian felt this way now, so he simply assumed a non-nervous posture, and even chatted with "Now" with great interest.
"Haha, what's there to say about this kind of thing? It's just that where there is light, there are shadows. If there are no demons, there is no need for gods and the like. However, those who have a little knowledge of this social law should know that most Most of the great people who are grand and genuine cannot actually stand up to the scrutiny of a country built on ideals. , as long as the operation reaches a certain stage, carnivores will naturally appear, and someone will need to be a gray glove, and someone will need to do the wet work." As the lady spoke, she glanced at the two people's faces and said with a smile: "That's right. The experienced Mr. Shi Xin didn’t realize it, but did the young Mr. Yu Lian realize it?”
"I see, the World Serpent is actually the Gray Glove of the 14th Alliance family?"
The lady shook her head and said: "The style of Gray Gloves is really too low. The organization and their personality are equal, so let's just call them the Gray Gloves agency of the Fourteenth Company."
Oh, isn’t it high-end to be a wet broker?
She looked at Yu Lian's expression of wanting to complain but didn't, and couldn't stop laughing. Then she looked at the dragon inspector's pale face and said warmly: "Do you find it difficult to understand? The ruler of the alliance, you serve The object of your life is colluding with the life-and-death enemy you have been pursuing all your life?”
Yu Lian said loudly: "Inspector, tell her! The Alliance has no ruler, it is a democratic republic where all people are equal! What you serve is not a wealthy family, but hundreds of millions of Alliance people."
However, the Nedian dragon inspector still faced everything in front of him with an almost blank expression. His expression was still ferocious and even ferocious, but his aura began to weaken. The long bow full of technology was still tightly clasped in his hand, but it seemed that even the back of the bow, which was made of zero-element mixed memory alloy, had lost its strength.
In Yu Lian's sight, this tall and burly dragon warrior even began to stoop.
"Actually, you should look at this problem dialectically." "Now" the lady explained seriously: "We and the alliance actually have a dialectical relationship of cooperation and confrontation. You are fulfilling your duties by pursuing our members, and you are also the ruler of your country. What we want to see. As I said, I admire your sense of responsibility. However, if you also know more about your sense of responsibility. That would be better. Haven't you ever thought about it? Didn't the timing of the appearance of the space lord in the Galactic Empire fifty years ago fit perfectly with everything in the alliance? Strategic needs. However, if the alliance is really responsible for such a large-scale mystical operation, how can the empire know nothing about it? ”
The inspector remained silent, looking at "now", then at the "prophet" who was still wiping away tears, and finally at the charred body of the Razakai whose life and death were unknown.
Mr. Shi Xin actually looked at people this way before. Their eyesight and breadth of vision are actually better than those of ordinary humans, so they have mastered the ability of "wide-area vision". When you look at people this way, you actually need to grasp all the other person's movements and changes in the surrounding environment. But now, he still looks at people like this, but it feels more like he is looking around without focus. It felt like if he didn't watch something, he would collapse.
"They need us, but they also hate us. So we need people like you. You see, this young man is not surprised at all. Inspector, you still need to learn and embrace the reality of the world! ”
"Now" the "young man" in the lady's mouth, that is, Yu Lian couldn't help but marvel.
He really didn't expect that the dignified Ms. "Now" would actually shoot one down with her mouth before she took action. In comparison, the "lawyer" who claims to be good at manipulating the human form, as well as my dear friend and relative, Master Wanda, are all clumsy-tongued, simple and generous.
Seeing that this burly dragon warrior was about to lie down on the ground and fuck himself like a salty lizard, Yu Lian hurriedly said loudly: "Think about what you are doing? Are you really the so-called ten who rule the alliance?" Four families? Are you really the commander-in-chief, or the director of the administration? Isn’t your original intention to seek justice for the innocent citizens of Kaican City?”
"It's meaningless, young man." The beautiful Snake Lord finally stopped hiding his aura and showed a charming and elegant smile: "It's hard for people to imagine things they haven't seen before, and it's easy to be fooled by adults. The previous ideological seal controls the whole life. Inspector Shixin is very clear about the true nature of the alliance. To put it bluntly, the republic's system is a disguised version of slavery. The alliance is still dominated by those people, in a sense. , even worse than the empire..."
Yu Lian had to agree with this point: "Indeed, at least under the imperial system, being a slave will not be regarded as a negative asset."
"Now" the lady laughed: "So, I understand why you want to open up another new system. If Mr. Shi Xin had been to Lumina, or even the current Xin Yumen, he would Maybe it won’t be so easy today.”
Yu Lian's intuition told him that there should be some hints in the other party's words, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.
At this time, Ms. "Now" said to Inspector Shi Xin: "Of course, little crocodile, you are different from this young man. You don't think there is anything wrong with this system, even in such a smoothly running society. Find your own ideals and self-realization of life value..."
"This is a good thing!" Yu Lian interrupted the other party loudly.
"Of course this is excellent. But since you have chosen loyalty, it is not good if it is not pure." The lady tilted her head and looked at the dumbfounded Argonian in front of her. She spread her fan to cover half of her face and nodded. There was a hint of regret in Mo's starry eyes, but there was also a hint of evil spirit flashing through.
Yu Lian's eye sockets shrank slightly. At this time, Ms. "Now"'s folding fan has been replaced by a row of elegant proverbs in cursive script of Tirillo's sacred text. When turned over, it reads "Life is the source of all troubles."
"Being depressed in the morning, singing happily every night. Everything in the world is like this. If just knowing is not enough, you have to learn to accept and adapt, and even go in both directions. If you can't do it, it will only be more painful in the future. It's better for me to give you a ride." She sighed quietly and slowly raised her wrist.
Before she finished speaking, she just raised her hand gently. The action seemed to be casual and arbitrary, but it seemed that the barrier between herself and Shi Xin was completely erased in an instant, and the wind drawn out of her palm floated so strangely. Got out. Before the inspector could react, it had penetrated into his heart.
