Sinmonger Chapter 2: Arrived
The second chapter arrives
The afternoon of July 10, Europe, Crown County.
The Da Vinci airport was heavily guarded, with hundreds of knights under the command of the Steel Commandment standing by. The cannons in their sleeves were filled with live ammunition, and ten strong knight captains and a flag officer were in charge. It is completely to welcome the visit of the members of the Reverse Cross in a state of preparation.
They were supposed to arrive three days ago, but it was delayed until the last call yesterday when the consultant said that their plane would land here at noon today.
As a result, it is now 1:30 in the afternoon, there are not even birds in the sky, and there are no signs of UFOs entering on the radars of the Steel Commandments.
Just as the flag-bearer Suyside was about to report to the top that the other party had put pigeons again, someone saw a strange dark shadow in the sky with the naked eye.
But seeing an antique biplane slowly coming from the air, when approaching the runway, people found that the plane didn't even have wheels under it. The structure is like a luge. It is obviously impossible to land smoothly by the friction between these two boards and the ground. It is estimated that the plane will fall apart within five seconds of landing.
Of course the people on the plane understood this, so they didn't plan to land at all, and when they flew over the airport, they chose to skydive. Three figures jumped out of the plane, and then they miraculously detonated the abandoned plane behind them, which showed that they had installed explosives on their vehicles in advance...
As the saying goes, pure men never look back at the explosion scene, and neither did the three of them, because the explosion happened overhead and couldn't be seen through the parachute.
The falling speed of the parachute is slow, and the people waiting below have enough time to surround the three people.
Advisors, gunsmiths, and Darkwater were captured like prisoners, but they didn't handcuff them, just that there were many guns aimed at their heads at close range at all times.
The three were "invited" into three cars and drove to the headquarters of the Steel Commandment.
Arriving at their destination, they were taken together to a dedicated room for their reception - an interrogation room with net alloy walls on all sides. This is the government building of the Empire, and it is not surprising to have such a room.
After locking them in, Agostino Lodovico, the Santa-like inspector of the Holy Land of Steel Commandments, and his secretary, Mr. Dascher, an ardent admirer of Mexican culture, walked in together. In the next room, one side of the wall was opened, revealing a bulletproof, explosion-proof, radiation-proof, tempered glass. Across this thing, they finally said hello to this "cooperation" object.
"Mr. Advisor," Lodovico said, looking at the three men across the glass.
The one on the left is a consultant. Lodovico has seen his video materials and has spoken a few times. The real person looks very young, in his early twenties at most, with a clean and gentle birth. At this moment, his shirt and trousers, including his face and His hair was all dirty, as if he had rolled in a mound of dirt.
The young man in the middle was a few years older than the consultant, his expression was a little unhappy, and he was sitting cross-legged on the ground. This man Lodovico also knew. The gunsmith, who used to be the empire's weapons consultant, forged a relationship a few years ago because of the "Blue Gift" project and the Steel Commandments. Craftsman experimented with his new invention at the time, the "Blueberry Bomb", which caused the Steel Commandment to suffer heavy losses, so the account was placed on his head.
The man on the right is the oldest, looking in his thirties, but he is a little bald and unshaven. At this moment, he is staring at the glass without saying a word. Like the other two, he is sloppy. Quite embarrassed. The man Lodovico did not know.
The consultant replied, "What's the matter with you?"
"I have a few questions for you to answer," said Lodovico.
"Can we talk in a different environment, for example, as we said on the phone, have a big meal first, then we will each live in a luxury suite, take a hot shower, and then find a decent place where to sit down and talk to you," the consultant replied.
"Mr. Consultant, do you understand your current situation?" Dasher said aside.
The consultant said: "50% of our current situation is caused by your unilateral hostility and bad faith, and the other 50% is caused by your ignorance."
Lodovico said: "Then, I want to ask, why do you think that the excavation work that cannot be completed by our side, if you three outsiders intervene, will some kind of breakthrough be achieved?"
The consultant walked over to the glass and rolled his eyes in a pretentious manner, as if he was really thinking about something, "Let me think about it... First, take my IQ by a fraction, and then divide it by two to get you Thinking on the same level. And you actually pulled me and you guys to the same level as soon as you opened your mouth to speculate on the results we would have when we did the same thing, and you asked me this in a rhetorical tone problem.
Secondly, if you insist on some reason, I can also tell you that the gunsmiths have successfully explored and walked out of a ruin that is more dangerous than this one you are exploring.
As for that one, Mr. John DeSoto, is a famous explorer, you can go directly to the public network to search his name, and even find a few of his books.
Finally, I also want to ask, why do you think that what you fools can't do, others can't do? "
"You can speak well, young man." Lodovico did not get angry, and said instead: "But even if you have no problem with your ability to handle affairs, what about your position? The reverse cross has invaded the apostolic system, and it is very important to our organization in Asia. The profits have had a huge impact, causing unanticipated losses, and... I don't know how to know about this excavation. Now you are asking to intervene and help us, isn't it suspicious?"
"Ha!" The consultant sneered: "It's very suspicious, then I want to ask, with your wisdom, what is the worst case that can be imagined?"
Before Lodovico could answer, the advisor said, "Sabotage within you? Assassination of important people? Looting of resources in the ruins? That's about all three.
As to why I'm here to help you, I've talked about it in the newsletter before, and I can't comment. Until this moment, the initiative to answer or not is still in our hands. Because objectively, you need our help. If we want what's in the ruins, we have to involve us in the excavation work, it's that simple.
You can pretty much assume that we both want to wreak havoc within you, assassinate someone important, and, by the way, try to loot the resources in the ruins. But even so, the Steel Commandment still needs us.
Therefore, you can keep an eye out for our every move anytime, anywhere, but you must offer up the three of us like the Lord until your goal is achieved. After that, you can turn your back, and then, you can interrogate or threaten us like you do now, but it doesn't make sense to do it now, it's just a waste of each other's time.
I analyzed it like this, do you understand? "
Lodovico thought about it for a long time, indeed, the other party is worth using, and he has clearly stated his words, what's the point of imprisoning them? Each of these three people is useful, and it is impossible to shut down only one to threaten the other two.
The top priority is the excavation of the ruins, not the interrogation of their intentions. Even if the interrogation is done, it will be a no-brainer. There are three possible situations. The other party has already admitted them.
"Dascher."
"At."
"Prepare to wash the dust for the three guests." After Lodovico said, he said to the consultant: "Young man, you are very arrogant, maybe you also have arrogant capital, but you shouldn't use such an insult to the elders. tone."
The consultant replied: "Respect is earned through hard work, not through inheritance or purchase with money, and it's not something that can be obtained by relying on the old and selling the old." His eyes were more contemptuous and disdainful than before. : "If you speak to me in such a lesson-like tone again, you will be insulting yourself."
Lodovico was quite annoyed, but he still didn't have a seizure, snorted coldly, and left without saying a word.
When the other party left, the gunsmith raised his head and said to the consultant: "You just let him say something, he has already done what you said, and he just wanted to find a way to go down the stairs. He was so embarrassed by you that he didn't care about excavating the ruins, and he really locked us up and served us under severe punishment, so what should we do?"
"Only by being aggressive can you see the other party's capabilities and bottom line." The consultant replied nonchalantly: "Furthermore, since it is impossible for the two of us to establish any trust, there is no need to save face for the other party."
The gunsmith said: "If there is a deadlock, I am afraid that apart from the dark water, both of us may be captured or even killed."
"There is no need to worry about such a thing at all." The consultant said, "Don't forget, we stand under the banner of the reverse cross. I dare say that there is no rebel group in the world today that dares to go to war with us, or Take the initiative to fight against us.
They don't know us ~IndoMTL.com~ nor can they ignore or despise us. Other organizations, including the Empire, have the same attitude towards the inverse cross as you are worried about your own situation at the moment. They don't know what the consequences will be if they provoke us. It may not be a big problem, or it may be It's a catastrophe. "
"The strength is unknown, the purpose is unknown, the members are unknown... The only thing that is shown to the world is the escape from the prison and the rumors of killing Tianwei." The gunsmith continued: "Sure enough, powerful and unpredictable, Is it the most effective deterrent..."
The consultant replied: "That's right, so no matter what we do, as long as it's not suicidal, at least our lives are safe. People with the Steel Commandment will also wonder what the Reverse Cross can do after killing us. Come."
"There may be no response, or it may release biochemical weapons or something... Hehe, put yourself in your shoes and think about it, I don't know how to deal with people who are inverse cross." The gunsmith said: "It's really an agnostic that fits you. organization.”
They chatted for five minutes, someone opened the door of the cell, and a knight said to them with a blank face: "Please come with me."
