Chapter 748 Todo Kaishiro’s Persuasion
“Hmm~” Chiba woke up while lying on the bed in the secret prison, trying to recall the previous memories and observing the surrounding environment, “What happened... here Yes..."
"Chiba, you're awake."
Hearing a familiar voice, Chiba looked up and found that he was locked in a transparent glass room. In the middle, and outside the glass room are three identical glass rooms, each of which houses Senbo, Bubu and Asahina respectively.
"Senpa! Bubu! Asahina! Why are you here too? Where is this place? What happened to us?" Chiba asked excitedly.
"We were defeated, by that man." Xianbo said calmly to Chiba.
"That man... Lord Todo!" With Senbo's reminder, Chiba recalled the memories before coma. The four of them prepared to join forces to assassinate Yang Hui, but were blocked by Todo Kaishiro, and then defeated them one by one. In his hands.
"Oh, sir..." Asahina said in a hoarse voice, sitting in the corner with a decadent look on her face.
"Asahina..."
"But...why?" Chiba asked, if Todo Kaishiro was really loyal to Yang Hui, and they assassinated Yang Hui, Todo As Yang Hui's bodyguard, Jing Zhilang should kill them on the spot instead of arresting them.
"I don't know." Xianbo shook his head. He was the first one among the four to wake up. "After I woke up, I found that except for the three of you, no one else existed, not even guards, and he didn't Appeared before."
"In that case..."
"Save it." Bubu, who saw what Chiba was thinking, immediately interrupted her and stood up to knock on the glass wall. Knocked, "Alchemist glass is a transparent ceramic composed of aluminum, nitrogen, and oxygen. Its hardness is equivalent to steel, and its strength and impact resistance are very high. It is mostly used in the military and security fields, such as bulletproof glass, missile windows, etc. "No, bullets can't penetrate it."
"How do you know?" Chiba asked Bubu blankly, he was not someone who knew much about these things.
"Here, there is an instruction manual." Bu Bu raised his chin and motioned Chiba to look for the bedside.
"Huh?" Chiba picked up the pillow and saw the thick instruction manual under the pillow, "What... does this mean?"
"Let's not be stupid." Bubu shrugged, There is a copy of this manual under everyone's pillow. It not only introduces the material of the glass wall, but also introduces the entire prison.
Although he didn't know whether what was said in the manual was true, but...as long as any one of them was true, then there was no possibility of them escaping from prison.
"This..."
"So don't even think about escaping." Bubu lay down on the bed again, while carefully introducing the contents of the manual to Chiba, "There are no guards around. Because there is no need to guard, there are hundreds of cameras on the surrounding walls, both covert and covert, and our every move is under their observation. Even if we break the glass wall, there will be countless automatic defense machine guns hidden in those walls. We sieve it.”
"Um..."
"Also, even if we can break through the machine gun fire alive, look at page 42 of the manual. The only passages are poisonous gas nozzles, flamethrowers, spike traps, and falling walls... "Tsk, the person who designed this prison is simply a lunatic, crazy!"
After Chiba read the manual, she lost her color and did not dare to mention the idea of escape. This manual was very considerate, and it contained There is a complete and detailed map introduction of this prison, even the hidden traps are introduced in great detail, and even the methods of cracking and strategies for clearing the level are thoughtfully marked.
But... it is precisely because of this that people cannot afford any idea of jailbreaking. It is simply a pig-hearted thing.
"What should we... do?" Chiba asked blankly.
"Wait." Xianbo, who had been silent all this time, said.
“Wait?”
“Since he didn’t kill us and deliberately locked us together, he definitely wouldn’t just lock us up like this.” Xianbo analyzed.
"Haha, what else could it be?" the decadent Asahina said, "His new master likes to appreciate the ugliness of losers? Likes to look at our decadent, lost, desperate expressions?"
< br>"Asahina..." Senba, Bubu and Chiba knew that Asahina was just talking nonsense. He was already unconscious. Based on their understanding of Toudo Kaishiro, even if he was loyal to Yang Hui, human nature would not change. .
If Yang Hui is really such a cruel or even disgusting person, Todo Kaishiro will not be loyal to Yang Hui even if he dies.
At this time, the door to the only passage opened, and they saw that familiar figure, the same Bunitalia uniform, the same mask, the only difference was that in his hand The knight's sword was replaced by a suitcase.
"Toudou..."
Asahina just glanced at him and sneered, then looked away and continued to sit dejectedly in the corner, with his back to Toudou Kaishiro who was walking towards him. , and the other three looked at him step by step with complicated expressions.
Todo Kaishiro walked to the open space between the four glass rooms and put down his suitcase. After opening it, he took out several dishes to go with wine, a bottle of wine and five wine glasses. After placing them, he sat down directly On the ground, he raised his head and nodded in the direction of the camera.
Then, the passage door closed and the doors of the four glass rooms opened.
"This! What do you mean?" Bu Bu asked.
"I never had the chance before, but now I want to have a drink with you." Kaishiro Todo said as he took off his mask and put it aside.
"..." Senba, Bubu and Chiba didn't know what Kaishiro Todo was going to do, but they looked at each other and nodded, walked out of the glass room and came to Kaishiro Todo, and sat down on the spot. Next, as for Asahina... they know they can't persuade her.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Senbo asked looking at Todo Kaishiro who was pouring them wine. "...A year ago, I was sentenced to death in front of the whole country." Kaishiro Toudo did not answer Senbo, but told his story to the three of them, "Although I don't know what method was used. , but His Highness saved me and gave me a second life.”
"So you betrayed?" Bu Bu asked with a sneer, his tone full of disdain.
"...I met Darlene and Xiaozhi in the mansion in the concession." Todo Kaishiro paused, but continued, "Although they were taken away by His Highness, they lived a happy life. Well, His Highness did not feel sorry for them, and then..."
The three of them listened with disdain, thinking that Todo Kaishiro was whitewashing himself, but as they listened, they became silent. .
“...for a whole year, Chisong made countless promises to me, but none of them were fulfilled. Instead, His Highness gave me opportunities again and again, but I failed to seize them. His Highness said so. Yes, I was just a wallflower at the time, working as an undercover agent for Chisong for the sake of the country and my compatriots, and at the same time using His Highness to help Darlene and Xiaozhi live a stable and comfortable life.
But in the end, Chisong did not intend to fulfill his promise, nor did he care about my life or death, nor the life or death of Darlene and Xiaozhi. Instead, His Highness fulfilled all his promises to me and gave me the highest trust. It also gave me one last chance. "
"..."
Senba, Bubu, and Chiba listened silently, drinking a glass of wine from time to time, and then filling it up themselves. Even Asahina's lifeless eyes were filled with emotion. There was a slight fluctuation.
They understood that Todo Kaishiro had betrayed, but everything he was loyal to betrayed him first, and again and again. Without Yang Hui, he would have been meaningless. Sacrifice, and his family will become sinners for the ages, being bullied by the compatriots and the country that Toudo Keishirou is loyal to, and in the end... they should also follow Toudo Keishirou's footsteps, right?
"I said this? , I’m not asking for your forgiveness, I just want to tell you that this is my choice, but it is also a choice that everyone forced me to make. ”
"...Todo, have you ever thought that Yang Hui...is the next Akasatsu?" Xianbo hesitated for a moment and decided to ask Todo.
“No.”
“Why?”
“His Highness is a very complicated person, but he is also a very simple person.”
< br>"What do you mean?" The three of them were stunned and asked.
"His Royal Highness is different from the Bunitalia people in everyone's impression. He is an extremely proud person, but his pride only lies in himself and his opponents. It is different from the common Bunitalia attitude towards everyone. Arrogant."
Hearing this, Xianbo, Bubu and Chiba all nodded in agreement. They had been following Yang Hui in the dark before he was caught, including the owner of the takoyaki stall in front of the Governor's Palace.
Along the way, Yang Hui acted very friendly and easy-going. He was not the prince of Bunitalia at all, but just a sunny young man.
“The complexity of His Highness is that from him, you can see gentleness and coldness, gentleness and cruelty, pride and humility... You can see many contradictory and conflicting characteristics in the world in him, So he is complicated."
"...What about simplicity?" Chiba asked.
"To put it simply... when dealing with his companions and family, he will show his brightest side. To the people around him, he is like an angel, but when dealing with his enemies, he will become the cruelest Shura."
"..."
Still silent, it is indeed contradictory, but it does make sense, complex and simple.
“Furthermore, based on what I have observed all along, His Highness is a person with a bottom line. Countless people have died at his hands, but... none of them are innocent civilians.”
"..."
"Also, His Highness has formulated a series of policies for the people of the Sakura Country in the occupied areas. It is impossible to compare with the treatment of the Bunitalia people, but... it is definitely better than the Sakura Country under the control of the Six Families of Kyoto."< br>
"So, your purpose is to recruit us, right?" After hearing so much, they also got a lot of answers, and they all knew the purpose of Toudo Kaishiro.
"Yes." Todo Kaishiro nodded unabashedly.
"..." Senba, Bubu, Chiba, and even Asahina, who had been sitting in the glass room without coming out, all had complicated expressions. If Yang Hui is really like what Kaishiro Toudo said, That was indeed a master worthy of Toudo Kaishiro and worthy of their following.
But... this person invaded their country.
"I don't need you to give an answer now. The surrender ceremony will be held in three days. You have two days to think about it."
"...What if we refuse?" The person who asked the question was not Xianbo or Bubu. and Chiba, but Asahina who suddenly stood up, "Kill us if you don't accept it, right?"
"...This is my duty." Todo Kaishiro was silent for a while, and said to the four people He said, when the four people sneered, he added, "But His Highness said, you are my trophies, and I have the right to deal with you as I please, so if you don't agree, I will let you leave, go back , leave the army, leave the battle, and return to ordinary life."
After that, Todo Kaishiro finished the wine in the glass, picked up the mask, stood up and left.
“You can move freely here these two days, and you will not be locked in the glass room forever. I will come again in two days, but... the next time you point the blade at His Highness, you will face It is no longer Todo Kaishiro, but X, and I will kill you without hesitation.”
