Start with the Readers Chapter 43: Meaning

"July 1st...is there anything special?" Xio asked a little puzzled. She didn't think it referred to the present, but thought it happened in a certain year in history.

Abner shook his head and didn't explain. He didn't know how to explain. He just turned around and said to Mr. Gaston who was still guarding the rear passage: "I know what the source of the internal strife here is. I'll come!"

"You know again? Do you want it so fast? I have no idea at all! Compared with you, I always think I am mentally handicapped!" Mr. Gaston wailed for his IQ in his heart while his face changed again and again. Then he nodded numbly, he was also somewhat used to the other party's 'suddenly knowing' style now.

Finally, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, pretending to be calm and asked: "Where do we need to go?"

"Go to the lowest cabin, the person we are looking for is there." Abner replied with certainty. Through the previous clues, he has already determined that this scene is the "Battle Royale at Sea" incident instigated by Litris in the original book!

Seeing Abner and Gaston walking towards the stairwell one after the other, Xio hesitated for a moment, turned around and told the lady who lost her love: "You hide yourself first, we will soon This will restore order on the ship." After speaking, she trotted a few steps to catch up with Abner.

The lady glanced at Xio's back gratefully, and then suddenly asked, "My name is Cherie! Miss, may I know your name?"

Xio didn't look back this time, but simply replied: "Hugh!"

"Hugh..." The lady secretly remembered the name, then picked up the dagger on the ground again, turned around and hid in a nearby cabin. No matter how cruel she is to those murderers, she still knows that she has no ability to deal with them, so she can only protect herself first, and not waste the life given to her by her benefactor and lover.

Gaston, who was walking in the front left, smiled and said to Xio, "It's really meaningless for you to do this. When this scene is over, she will no longer exist."

Xio shook his head, and said with some stubbornness: "She lives strong because of my words, even if it is only a few minutes or a few hours, it is meaningful to me!"

"It's up to you! What a little girl." Gaston shook his head and smiled. In fact, he didn't have bad intentions, he just felt that this kind of innocence was not suitable for the world of extraordinary people.

Xio pursed his lips, looked at Abner in front of him, and after struggling for a moment, he asked, "Abner, what do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Abner said seriously: "Everyone has their own insistence, if they think it should, just do it! Don't worry about other people's opinions." This kind of persistence is human nature of brilliance.

After hearing these words, the corners of Xio's mouth finally curled up slightly, obviously happy because he was understood.

Most of the thugs on this ship were besieging the lowest cabin, so the further down the three of Abner went, the more enemies there would be.

Fortunately, Mr. Gaston seemed to have anticipated similar situations long ago, prepared a lot of explosives with a range of damage, coupled with the master-level combat qualities of Abner and Hugh, and the opponents were just a group of ordinary people, this Only then did he reach the lowest cabin without any risk.

This cabin was originally used to store food and fresh water on board, and relying on these supplies, the people who stayed inside were able to survive until now.

Seeing the three of Abner storming in from the outside, the men who were guarding the door of the cabin on the ground floor were all pleasantly surprised. Contrary to their expectations, if there is malicious intent, they will definitely not be able to deal with it.

"Stop... you... who are you?" Seeing that the three of them were getting closer, a blond young man in black formal attire asked at the door of the cabin, raising the dagger in his hand.

Abner stopped and did not answer the other party's question, but asked directly: "Who is in charge here?"

The people on the opposite side looked at each other, but they didn't reply.

Xio frowned when she saw it. She let out the majesty of an 'arbitrator', and repeated Abner's words in a low voice: "Who is in charge here?"

This time, none of those people hesitated, but pointed to a middle-aged man dressed as a captain and a boy with a round, kind face.

"We all listen to the captain and Tris!"

"Tris?" Abner looked at the shy boy in the corner who looked like a little girl.

"It's me, sir. What's the matter with you?" Triss seemed a little frightened and looked very disturbed, but his eyes were flicking around, apparently the sudden change made him sprout Back off.

"It was you who instigated the internal strife between the crew and the passengers and let them kill each other! Am I right, Mr. Triss, the 'instigator' of the Gnosis Society?" Abner directly pointed out the cause of this internal strife. Source, then pulled out the revolver before everyone could react, and shot six consecutive shots at Tris.

Because the scene is coming to an end, Abner is afraid that he will not have a second chance to shoot, so he has already opened the pure white eye before shooting. With the assistance of the team, the six bullets almost blocked all the dodging directions of Tris.

Although such an attack is meaningless, it will not affect Tris in reality at all. But as Abner said before, with some persistence, you can do what you want. Having witnessed the misfortune of the people on this ship with his own eyes, it is impossible for him not to kill the culprit here.

But Tris was an 'Assassin' before he became an 'Instigator'. This sequence is the most proficient in dodging and hiding. Before he was shot, he had already figured out a countermeasure, and his body would melt into the shadow of the cabin as soon as he retreated .

At this moment, the revolver in Xio's hand roared, and the position it hit was the shadow behind Triss!

As early as when Abner pointed out that Triss was the 'instigator' of the Gnosis Society, Xio had already guessed what her friend would do next, because that was what she wanted to do: Under the circumstances, avenge the innocent victims on this ship!

Even if this is just a fictitious scene, she feels uneasy and wants to do it.

Xio had contacted another instigator before, and knew the ability of this sequence long ago. Therefore, the last way of life for Tris in this scene was blocked, and his head was instantly pierced by a bullet, shattering the ground...

At the same time, the surrounding scenes shattered, and everything ceased to exist. Only three figures were left, wrapped in the fog of the dream, and entered the reward room.

……

The real world~IndoMTL.com~ At the corner of a deck and the cabin on the Clover, facing two murderers who had already torn most of her clothes, Cherie wept desperately.

But at this moment, the actions of the murderers suddenly stopped, and their expressions seemed to be a little dazed. At this moment, Cherry didn't know where the courage came from. across the neck!

The two corpses fell to the ground one after another. She, who was splashed with blood, was stunned for a while, and stumbled to the side of her lover who was nailed to the wall. She cried and caressed his cheek, and then said to herself : "Honey, I thought that I would not be able to live without you... But at that moment, I suddenly had courage and strength in my heart... Maybe this is the blessing you gave me in the kingdom of gods!"

Having said that, she wiped away her tears and said firmly:

"I will live! I will live no matter what! Take your share with me!"

……

At the bottom of the cabin, Tris, who was hiding in the corner, woke up suddenly. He first looked around vigilantly, then wiped off his cold sweat, and thought suspiciously: "I seem to have had a nightmare, but the content of the dream I can't remember, I just know that I was killed... Maybe this is a spiritual warning in mysticism?"

Thinking of this, Tris was shocked, thinking that something unexpected would happen, and thought to himself: "Anyway, this internal strife is almost over, let's end it early, so as not to really change... Although the number of dead is still Unexpected..."

At this moment, seeing his unnatural expression, the captain beside him asked with concern: "Mr. Triss, what's the matter with you?"

Tris immediately showed a shy smile when he heard the words...

……

What Abner and Hugh did was not meaningless!
