Foreword:
Emperors are slaves of history.
Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy | "War and Peace"
[Part①·The storm is coming]
"Listen up, Marley Perrault - the situation is very bad now." Pellerini shouted to the puppet through the eye of the storm, "I have been exposed, there is nothing we can do about it, maybe other soldiers can delay them Marching steps, in this era, the more you do, the easier it is to get involved in a complex whirlpool of struggle. You cannot stay out of it. The two unknown evil stars are already on the way - I want you to take action immediately!"
Boy Marley is sitting by the indoor swimming pool in his suite. He has regained his life——
——Relieved from the unbearable feeling of hunger.
The female companion in the swimming pool was the cheerleader with whom he had an affair before. This bitch kept pestering Marley and finally fell into his belly.
Lying on the tiles of the pool was a pair of broken white bones. It had no skull, only a pelvis and lower jaw that were difficult to chew, floating cleanly in the pool water.
"What do you want me to do?"
Marley Perrault's eyes became excited and he clenched his fists.
Oh no, maybe it should be called [it] more appropriately. It can feel the power in the body rushing with the blood, flowing to every part of the body.
It is full of destructive power. With just a tap of your fingers on the water surface, the magical power of the eye of the storm creates a fierce whirlpool of water. Two fingers twist the bones of the female companion. With a slight exertion, these bones crack in response. It turns into bone meal when rubbed with fingers.
"Kill Shao Jinghao and Daniel. These two targets are the favorites of the gunsmith and the crying general."
"Why should I listen to you?" Mari Perot weighed more than 150 kilograms and had a 200 kilogram belly: "Mr. Pellerini, why? Now that I have tasted human flesh, I feel that my soul is also Become free.”
"Then why should I follow your instructions and do such a dangerous thing?"
"Killing these two people will only make the Nameless Doe chase me to the ends of the earth, but you will stay out of it without taking any risks."
"I want to live and live happily and peacefully."
"If I continue to participate in the Luna Cup, I can gain wealth and fame, power and status."
"I can destroy these evidences of cannibalism, continue to eat the food supplements of hybrid disaster beasts, hide in human society, and become an immortal just like you."
"Mr. Pellerini, I will not go to the gaming table without a satisfactory stake."
The eyes and mouth in his palms became ferocious and fierce. Pellelinivan did not expect that this chess piece actually wanted to turn over and become the master! ?
Pellerini has done countless human flesh business, and there are also many blind young men who want to escape from his control——
——Marley Perrault was not the first. He also had a specific response plan, but when he said these words, he was really angry.
"Aren't you afraid that I will immediately take back the power of the eye of the storm?! Aren't you afraid of death? Have you always been so brave?!"
Marley Perrault retorted: "The arrival of Anonymous did make you lose your mind. Mr. Pellerini, the panic in your words is the confidence for me to raise my bet. As for whether I am afraid of death, the goddess of fate favors the brave." .”
The rookie walked out of the swimming pool slowly. The bones in the pool had completely turned into powder and washed into the sewer.
"If you can really take back the power of the eye of the storm, then give it a try! It was you who brought this unfortunate life to me, took away Yukiko's life, and turned me into neither a human nor a ghost. "
"It was you who transformed me into a man-eating demon both mentally and physically."
"It seems that you really don't have many available people at hand. If you want to take the eye of the storm away from me, who else can help you complete this task? Who will help you kill people?"
Pellerini cursed: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill Groba?! Kill your brother?! Kill your whole family?!"
"There is a crack in my heart." Marley Perrault joked as he put on his clothes; "Killing Yukiko with my own hands, disembowelling her and eating her alive, I can even do such a thing, Just let the cracks get bigger and throw away all the useless things.”
"I am your slave, Tolstoy said - the emperor is the slave of history."
"Everyone is like this, being dragged and imprisoned by various chains, with iron ropes and copper hooks biting our bones."
"To tear off the chains, you have to break the muscles and bones, peel off the skin and cut off the flesh."
"I originally thought that the brotherhood with Groba Perrault was the most important thing in the world. But these days, Mr. Pellerini, you have given me a taste of wealth and beauty, and made me understand the world. There are so many good things.”
"When you have a new love, you must forget about the old love, right?"
"I am a selfish person. When I woke up from my muddled life, I realized that I actually don't care about Groba at all. I only care about myself. What I care about is my own feelings. I want to make myself an excellent brother. I have to go against my father! I have to go against the powerful patriarchy! As for what happens to Groba, I don’t care at all.”
"You" Pellerini was shocked. He originally wanted to raise a useful dog, but he didn't expect that the dog that grew out would be a white-eyed wolf, "Hahahahaha"
Instead of getting angry, he smiled, thinking that Marley Perrault was really a talent!
If it were placed six years ago, this kid would definitely have become a hero. His selfish heart alone would have surpassed many leaders of the Crazy Butterfly Cult with fragile minds.
"What's the matter? Pellerini?" Marley Perot buttoned up his collar, still looking meticulous, just like the two gunsmith students and Foego.
They all admire gunsmiths very much. The way they do things and the small details of their lives all have the shadow of the gunsmith's seriousness.
Pellerini asked the price: "What do you want?"
Marley Perrault: "Give me my brother back and give me my books."
Pellerini: "That's it?"
Marley Perrault: "Can't do it?"
Pellerini immediately said: "When it is done, I will tell you where Groba Pero is hiding."
"I don't accept the idea of working first and being paid later." Marley Perrault threatened: "You might as well tell me directly that my brother is dead."
"Why do you think so?! Why?" Pellerini's tone was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
Marley continued: "Because Groba and I both regard the gunsmith as the savior in our lives."
He raised his right hand and pointed his index upward——
"——When I was beaten by my parents, when these legal criminals inflicted legal torture on me, no one could save me."
"The civil affairs commissioner who came to mediate would only tell me - live a good life. There is no way Guangling will arrest these two scumbags and put them in jail!"
"Only the gunsmith, only the gunsmith in the videotape, he told me again and again!"
Marley Perrault's other hand grasped the hem of his clothes tightly, trying to touch the hot heart of flesh.
"Fight back!"
"So Mr. Pellerini, Groba, who is younger and more ignorant than me, should have died in your hands."
"My parents, who worship money and power, should have fallen at your feet a long time ago. You worked together to kill him - just because this fool believed in the fairy tale of the anonymous person and wanted to fight you to the end."
"Just treat him as dead! Mr. Pellerini, now you have one less bargaining chip. How are you going to convince me?"
The mouth on the palm was silent for a moment.
Pellerini really couldn't figure out what this kid wanted to express——
——The unknown represents fear, and fear makes him shrink back.
Marley Perrault's position is wavering. He has indeed swallowed human flesh and there is no turning back. In the wrestling match between the Eternals and the Anonymous, this kind of young man will definitely be the one who will die the worst!
What does he want? Groba is dead, and he wants a book besides that?
Book? What book? ! What is it that makes him so persistent? !
Pellerini suddenly woke up——
——There is indeed a book at the date scene between Yukiko and Marley Perrault.
In addition to the lunch box, there was also a copy of Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" - this book was used as a thermal pad for the lunch box. Together with the evidence at the scene, it was cleaned up by employees and destroyed nearby, at the thermal power station. The place where the garbage was burned turned into a ball of black dust!
"The book you want cannot be..."
Marley Perrault: "That's the book you're thinking of. It was given to me by Yukiko. It's the only relic she left to me."
"How can I get it back for you!" Pellerini felt unreasonable and exclaimed: "It has been burned to ashes!"
"I appreciate your honesty." Marley Perrault said with a smile: "You no longer treat me as a child, Mr. Pellerini, you finally understand that lies that coax children are of no use to me. - If you said, this matter needs to be slowed down and you go look for it, maybe we won’t have to talk about it.”
At this moment, Pellerini couldn't look into the heart of Marley boy through the eye of the storm! There is a thick psychic barrier between them, and this kid has completed his transformation. "What exactly do you want?"
"As a proof of friendship, Yukiko carefully selected the book in the bookstore and sent it a batch of books with the edition number FS10401. Its title is "Farewell to Arms" - it is Hemingway's work. I like it very much. I love it so much. "It's there." Marley Perrault said slowly and leisurely; "Go find it. Yukiko used it to express her love to me. It's easy to find, and there's a slogan on the title page saying that it's helpful to open the book."
"Yukiko told me this slogan in a serious manner, pointed at the book and said it seriously."
"Without you, I'm like a soldier who has lost his armor and weapons and doesn't know how to survive."
"This is the original text in the book. Can you understand this kind of love? Mr. Pellerini?"
"Go and find it, and give it to me."
"This is stronger than all contracts, all contracts, and all human flesh businesses in the world."
"As long as you can find it, it sells for one hundred and twelve pyroxene currency. The bookstore occasionally holds events. Now you can buy it for only seventy yuan."
"Give it to me as an unreasonable act of a child like me."
Pellerini replied immediately without thinking: "You act immediately."
"You also have to act immediately." Marley Perrault responded: "Don't try to deceive me with clumsy lies."
[Part②·Fight back]
Buy a book?
Pellerini only felt that Marley Perrault's request was unreasonable!
Really? All it takes is a book to make this kid behave? is this real?
His rich life experience told him that there are many warriors with strong personalities who really have this kind of quirk!
They only need one or two tokens to inspire their inner courage, which is where their faith lies and their lives depend.
The relics left by Yukiko were so important to the boy. This weird ritual made Pellerini shaken in his heart——
——If he really does it and kills the gunsmith's student, but I can't send the reward to him, things will get very bad.
It only takes seventy pyroxene currency and a little bit of labor to gain Marley Perot's trust and his friendship! This deal sounds really cost-effective and affordable!
It's just a matter of asking a subordinate to find a few bookstores nearby. Buying a book only takes a few dozen minutes' drive at most.
If he can't do this well, Marley Perrault will completely turn his back on him!
The fact that he can kill the gunsmith's students means that he is extremely talented and is an outstanding warrior!
He is fighting desperately on the front line, but I, Pellerini, can't even do such a simple thing - this kid will become an enemy of the Eternal Alliance, and he is one of the most powerful enemies!
"FS10401! The title of the book is "Farewell to Arms"! - Boys, cheer up!" Pellerini shouted loudly, calling to the armed men around him: "Go find this book! Quick!" Find it! You go!"
In the RV, the other men of the Eternal One all looked at him with puzzled looks.
"Boss, what do you mean? Do you want to go to the city?"
Pellerini did not stay at the stronghold and wait for death. As Jason Megan speculated, the temporary Eagle's Nest was not safe. It could only be used as a deployment location for soldiers to change equipment, leaving some scapegoats for Delaying the arrival of the Nameless One into the city.
He replaced it with another RV, pretending to be a mobile stall spanning the 41st and 40th arrondissements. It was a food truck that had been modified internally and covered with armor and bulletproof glass.
This car has been traveling on the intercity highways around District 41, and occasionally does some business at the logistics distribution center, selling hamburgers, French fries, chicken nuggets, and hot dogs. Occasionally when passing by Cang Yue Lake Resort, this immortal would hand ice cream to the children with a smile on his face.
The commander needs to maintain a smooth network, occasionally communicate with soldiers on the front line, and often return to the public communication range of District 41 - at this moment, they are twenty kilometers away from the nearest county town, and they are still Not sure if Hemingway’s writings can be found in this cultural desert.
Two groups of people rushed in two directions to buy books, in order to get Mary Perot's favorite things as soon as possible. Pellerini decided to sit still and park the food truck on the side of the highway to wait for the team to return.
Pellelini felt very excited, and Marley Perrault's performance impressed him——
——This young man has a firm mind. If he can devote himself wholeheartedly to the cause of the Eternal Alliance and grow up over time, he will definitely be a useful and sharp knife.
"How's it going? Marley Perrault! I've already left for the bookstore to pick out a gift for you myself!"
Pellerini is still lying, just like your boss who always gets a thumbs-down.
Marley Perrault sneered: "Really? Mr. Pellerini, do you still treat me like a child? Would you really take the initiative to go to the city if you are so precious about your life? Your joke is so annoying."
"Oh! Oh! I'm too excited!" Pellerini quickly changed his words: "In short, I have asked someone to find the things. You have to take action immediately."
Marley Perrault walked into the bathroom, faced the mirror, tidied up his appearance, and went to the gym on the same floor on the 24th floor to have a life-or-death fight with Daniel and Brother Hao.
"Keep your eyes open and watch."
He opened his palm, and Pellerini's eyes stared blankly at him.
"The Eye of the Storm you gave me will make it easy to kill these Homo sapiens without soul power."
"Hehehe, yes! Yes! Yes, yes!" The bloody mouth left in the palm laughed out loud.
Marley Perrault was motionless, his face was ashen, no one knew what he was thinking, but there were strange psychic remnants lingering around him——
——These days, supernatural events and strange dreams kept him awake at night and heartbroken.
The eyes on the fleshy palm could only see the cold face of Marley Perrault.
In the mirror, little Groba, covered in blood, was lying on his brother's shoulders, his soul gradually dissipating and turning into pure spirit energy.
His frail spirit stretched out his hand and wrote crooked words on Marley Perrault's vest.
"elder brother."
"Revenge! Brother!"
"Sister Yukiko is in your body, she was eaten by you, and she will never be born again!"
"You can hear me!"
"She's crying! There's another one, the big sister you just ate! They're both crying!"
"Stop being a slave! For freedom!"
"Fight back! Fight back!"
