Foreword:
You don't grow up when no one says "no" to you.
Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy | "War and Peace"
[Part①·Similarities]
"A Farewell to Arms" tells the story of Frederick Henry who volunteered for the Red Cross and went to the northern Italian front to save lives in the late World War I.
This young man was injured by a shell during a mission. He met and fell in love with a nurse named Catherine in a hospital in Milan. He decided to leave the army, escape the cruel battlefield, and go to Switzerland to stay together.
But Catherine died in childbirth, and the story had only a sad ending.
By describing the love between the two, Hemingway also narrated the author's personal experience in World War I.
All of Marley Perrault's thoughts and actions were true intentions.
At first, his ruthless finishing attack on Foyego Sebastian came from the deep hatred in his heart.
After becoming a blood-giving monster, he became moody and controlled by various hormones in his body.
In this regional qualifier, there are a total of four admirers and followers of Anonymous——
——They all possess some of the characteristics of gunsmiths. The memes of heroes influence these teenagers, leaving an indelible spiritual imprint on them as they grow up.
The four bullets that hit Foego Sebastian were the jealousy of Marley Perrault.
He doesn't have the same good luck as Ah Hao. He is firmly locked in the 40th arrondissement by his parents. Does he have to fill in Galahad in his college application? That’s whimsical!
He does not have a wealthy family like Daniel Fragelak. Children from wealthy families can always stand at the finish line and watch their competitors at the starting line walk the single-plank bridge.
There is not even Coach Toussaint in his life, and there is no Bole to take care of his fierce horse.
He is a very selfish child because his parents taught him the same way.
Be as graceful as a noble, be as philanthropic as a moral saint, and at the same time be selfish and make money by any means necessary.
You must behave politely and do not use violence. However, you must not talk back when faced with parents’ stick education, let alone fight back.
You must know that this world is full of good intentions, but at the same time you must remain malicious, because there are always a few winners, and only the strong can come forward.
These contradictory ideas almost tore Marley Perrault into pieces——
——If there were no Anonymous, no gunsmith instructional videos, and free online courses, maybe Marley Perrault would have gone crazy.
To him, everything Ah Hao and Daniel had was innate. He couldn't get jealous, he could only watch and envy them from a distance.
When fighting against Foego Sebastian, he could finally muster up the courage to use the hormone level of the blood-giving monster to release the malice in his heart, completely turning his jealousy into four vicious bullets, and beat him into the eyes of this lucky man.
All this is so natural and beautiful in Pellerini's eyes.
This kid has become cruel, has no regard for life, and is capable of killing Homo sapiens.
But what the angels of the Alliance of Eternals didn’t expect was——
——Marley Perrault’s metamorphic configuration is so complex.
The gunsmith's students, as well as Foego Sebastian, can reproduce the knight's combat skills and pass down the nameless combat style, but Mari Pero has something they don't have.
That is a concentration far beyond ordinary people, a cold mind and tenacious patience.
Marley Perrault was closer to a gunsmith than the other three boys because they grew up in a similar environment. A close relative is also in jail, burdened with heavy burdens, and the pressure of life has forged him into a piece of steel.
He is more mature than Ahao and more decisive than Daniel.
Foyego values the knight's jousting as more important than life, but life is not a competitive game——
——Marley Perrault’s desire to win is not weak at all, but the word victory is too far, too far, too difficult for him.
"Without you, I'm like a soldier who has lost his armor and weapons and doesn't know how to survive."
This is the excuse Yukiko uses to express her love for Marley Perrault in a roundabout way, adhering to the awkward thoughts of Sakura Girl. It is also a line of dialogue in "A Farewell to Arms".
Money and beauty were both things that Marley Perrault loved deeply and were his pursuits in life.
He did not reject the dressing room socialite who came to his door, nor did he reject the power of Pellelini.
There were only two things that bothered him -
——Groba's death is a foregone conclusion. The dead cannot be resurrected. This revenge must be avenged.
Pellelini told Marley Perrault about the justice of the blood-giving monster again and again, and again and again asked the young man to treat Yukiko as his mother. Talk about Marley Perrault getting a new lease of life! Yukiko's essence is the mother who gives birth to new life!
But can this set of fallacies really allow him to live with peace of mind?
Whenever Pellelini mentioned this, asking Marley Perrault to accept the ogre's outlook on life was like the source of all tragedy in "A Farewell to Arms" - the child in Catherine's belly, which caused her to die from dystocia. die.
Maybe even Pellelini couldn't figure it out. This statement was dancing repeatedly in Mari Perrault's minefield, bouncing on Yukiko's grave, and pushing Mari Perrault further again and again.
Just because of this book, just because of this book.
Marley Perreault was about to open the gym door, and at this moment, he thought it was all over.
Use sweet words and four bullets to hide this [eye in the palm] of Pellerini.
Use the life of an innocent woman to deceive Pellerini's [palm-in-mouth].
Even if he really turned into an ogre and had swallowed human flesh, he would still make the angel pay the price.
"Everyone is here."
In the empty gym, there were only Ahao, Daniel and Foego.
The Roman Holiday Hotel was not open to ordinary people during the competition, so the only ones who practiced hard during the break were these three naive young men.
Ahao is still waiting for Little Shark's ice cream and doing bench presses with Daniel.
Foego had yet to recover from an old injury and had to readjust to this new eye, resting next to the pool table.
Marley Perrault appeared at the gate, and the three men stood up.
Ahao: "What do you want to do?"
"Maybe he's here for fitness." Daniel's eyes held strong hostility. The teacher had said before that Marley Perot had most likely turned into a blood-giving monster.
Foyego didn't say anything. His enemy was extremely jealous when he saw each other. He picked up the white ball from the pool table and threw it hard!
Marley easily grabbed the thrown object and crushed the white ball.
At the same time, Meteor had just cured Little Shark, and was about to return to the Roman Holiday Hotel after crossing the 700-meter block with the unconscious Shark Chili in his arms.
"You have to contact Ahao and the others quickly!" Little Shark regained consciousness and asked Meteor to immediately call the students: "Pellelini's target is your students!"
The two of them had already entered the elevator. There was no cell phone signal, and it took less than a minute to reach the twenty-fourth floor.
Meteor looked at the main control panel of the elevator and explained to Xiaoshasha: "This matter can't be rushed!"
The hot wind blows back and forth from the Avenue of the Lions, and it echoes between the tall buildings.
Pedestrians on the street stopped one after another, because the sudden falling object caused them to fall into a brief panic.
It started with a fat lady walking her dog, crossing the porch of the Roman Holiday Hotel with her beloved giant poodle, and the fat lady immediately became enamored of posters of Luna Cup players.
"Yohahahahaha!"
"Isn't this my cute little Daniel!~"
"His serious look looks so much like Mr. Victor!"
"Baby, let mommy give you a kiss! Hee hee hee hee!~"
When the lipstick mark was left on the poster page, the fat lady turned around and pulled the rope, but she pulled back a bloody dog head!
"ah!!!------"
Her pupils were trembling, and she was trembling with sudden fear, almost peeing in fear.
A piece of soundproof glass fell from a high altitude and decapitated her pet dog. The giant poodle's body was still standing stiffly and did not fall down.
Pedestrians raised their heads and saw thick broken glass fragments in the air, like hailstones that were about to fall down!
For a moment, Lion King Avenue became chaotic. The awnings of the shops facing the street were smashed to pieces. One of the arms of the unlucky guy was cut off on the spot with these sharp knives!
[Part②·The end of the road]
"Eye Of The Storm·Eye of the Storm!"
The roar of Marley Perrault carried with it the fierce wind.
In the gym, the three little guys were no match for him and were almost completely defeated in the first round without any defense.
Foego Sebastian asked the strong spirit to beat him until his flesh and bones were broken, and he stuck them to the mirror of the yoga room. Ahao and Daniel suffered bleeding from their mouths and noses, and severe brain injuries.
"Well done! Mari Perrot!" Pellerini's eyes watched all this silently.
Marley held Ah Hao in one hand and Daniel in the other, avoiding the iron blocks and steel rods scattered in the gym.
Eye Of The Storm·The power of the Eye of the Storm was so strong that the wire rope of the Bird Equipment broke under this huge force, leaving a shocking crack on the floor.
The wind from the high-rise building rushed in through the holes in the floor-to-ceiling windows. The 42-degree air flow blew his blood-red hair, and the neon lights between the buildings illuminated his eyes.
"Let me have a taste first!" Pellerini couldn't wait to taste the soft meat on the back of Shao Jinghao's neck.
"Don't worry!" Marley Perrault immediately controlled his arm and transferred the prisoner to the same hand: "Now that I have captured him, how can I deliver him to you?"
Pellerini did not hesitate: "Kill! And then eat it! If you don't kill it, you can just hold it alive and chew it!"
"Have you changed your mind?" Marley Perrault scolded: "I hate scum who go back on their word, and I also hate leaders who temporarily change their battle plans - they agreed to capture them alive, but there is no way to capture them alive and then kill them."
"The nights are long and the dreams are many! Why not put them all in your belly!" Pellerini said excitedly: "I am very optimistic about you! Young man! These two qualities are a reward for you! Their dead lives are far less valuable than yours. ! As long as you can return to me safely without bringing any strange little tail, I will be satisfied."
"Tell me the evacuation route." Marley Perrault stood by the window and looked at the streets on both sides of Lion King Avenue. Guangling Zhixi patrol security personnel were stationed at both intersections, and the soldiers were evacuating the crowd.
Pellerini immediately said: "Are you really not going to try?"
"If you say one more word, I will have less hope of survival." Marley Perrault scolded: "Before you kill me, you bastard, tell me the correct evacuation route, I have no time to eat! And it’s hard to catch the prey! If you guys are not reliable, I can still use them as hostages to find a way out!"
Pellerini reminded: "It's so good! It's so good, you are so good! Look at the glass on the exterior wall of the hotel building, raise your hand, expose my eyes, I want to observe the terrain."
Marley Perrault left the two prisoners behind and followed the instructions of the Eternal One step by step.
"Boy Marley, the southwest and northeast corners of the building are the central air-conditioning ducts, as well as the kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts. They are very spacious, very, very spacious - with the help of my soul, you can bring two Float a prisoner over, use it to create a wind channel, and slide along the big roller of the tornado like a slide! At the gap between the 21st and 20th floors, you can follow it directly into the kitchen on the first floor. .”
"Eye Of The Storm·Eye of the Storm!"
Marley Perrault called out Hunwei's true name, grabbed Ahao and Daniel, the brothers in distress, and plunged into the strong wind.
Meteor ran all the way to the gym, but he was still a step too slow. The students were defeated too quickly.
He only saw three figures disappearing out of the window, leaving behind pieces of iron and rubber scattered on the floor, as well as the dying Foyego Sebastian in the yoga room.
Marley's right hand has been pressed against the outer glass of the building. He was restless in the weightless environment, trying to find something to hold on to - [Eye Of The Storm·Eye of the Storm] was also hurting this right arm, and the strong wind It carried shards of glass and cut open his skin and flesh.
"It's very safe!" Pellerini reminded: "Don't be afraid, kid, my soul power is protecting you! General Crying can't hurt you! His soul power has a limited range!"
Marley Perrault didn't reply--
——He concentrated on tensing up his body to protect his two unconscious compatriots.
Yes, they are all students of the gunsmith and compatriots.
The thought of the gunsmith filled Marley's heart with strength.
"Pellerini, is there anyone important in your life?"
Pellerini didn't understand, what was going on with this kid at this juncture?
"Ah! Of course! Of course!"
The incarnation of the god shattered the soundproof window in the southwest corner. Next to the yellowed iron sheet of the flue, there was a large aluminum door.
Marley opened it and poured the power of the eye of the storm into it. In the small space, hot air flowed into the sky, like a pair of warm hands, supporting their bodies.
"Is it your teacher? Or is it your lover? Is it your child?"
Pellerini became suspicious: "Why do you ask that?"
Marley: "We're going to be colleagues soon, and I want to get to know you."
Pellerini: "Hehe. Hehehe. None of it! None of it! Young man!"
Marley: "You say it yourself? Or do you want me to guess?"
Pellerini: "The first one I ate."
Marley: "How did you become immortal?"
"There was once a philosophical sage who took me as a slave as his apprentice." Pellerini told a simple story: "He did not dislike my humble origins and believed that all human beings should be equal and receive fair treatment. He taught me mathematics, told me the secrets of astronomy, taught me how to draw, and took me out to sea."
"Until I was too old to look good, he still had that young and handsome face."
"I finally understood that he was a liar and that all living beings were never equal."
"This guy is an immortal person. He maintains his arrogant posture of compassion for the world. He watches me getting older and weaker day by day, and then laments the impermanence of the world."
"I don't know how he did it, just like all medical experiments in ancient times."
"I found a way to poison him and eat him, so I also got this grace."
"My heart is broken. After all, he is my teacher, the one who taught me this beast."
"He is the light of my soul and the angel sent by God to save me."
"He told me-"
"——You won't grow up when no one says 'no' to you."
"This has benefited me a lot. I have grown from setbacks, absorbed the experience of failure, and then become stronger."
"I treat him as a lover, a love that transcends the love between men and women and the friendship between brothers."
"When I ate him, I suddenly became enlightened! My originally narrow-minded mind suddenly became kind and loving, and my heart became clear!"
"It turns out that all feelings and all bonds are worthless in the face of time."
"As long as you can get this grace, the sky is high, the sea is vast, and the stars in the universe are all at your disposal."
“You meet a lot of people, experience a lot of things, and everything is new.”
Marley Perrault followed the flue into the comprehensive kitchen, and then carried the two comrades to the sewer system. He saw the capital's luxurious drainage and sewage system - the ditch was connected to the geyser man-made river in District 41. A speedboat had been prepared early, and this was the way out that Pellerini had arranged for Marley Perrault.
Marley Perrault asked: "Did you get the book?"
Pellelini Tuon paused, tilted his head, turned the radio communication channel to the combat team, and asked his subordinates who were out buying books.
"Mr. Marley has grown up. We are all men of our word. Have you bought the book he asked for?"
"Not yet! Boss!"
"I visited four bookstores, but the clerks all said they didn't have it. The manager of this one is still browsing in the warehouse!"
"I have a clue! Boss! I have a clue! The clerk told me that batch FS10401 has just been out of stock, and the printing factory is very close to me! I'll ride a motorcycle over there! I'll get it back for you right away! It's such a big detour It’s better to go directly to the manufacturer!”
Pellerini hesitated for a moment when he heard these words——
——Is it a coincidence? Is it really a coincidence?
Printing plants cannot be built in urban areas. For District 41, water resources are very precious. Not only the printing industry, but also other chemical industries and hardware products factories are all arranged in the suburbs.
Outside Cang Yue Lake Resort, several logistics distribution centers on the intercity highway are connected to industrial parks in the suburbs. After all, in the underground world, if there are no roads, there will be no trucks. Without this system, there is no door-to-door delivery.
The food truck where Pellerini works has been driving around the printing plant. In order to evacuate the soldiers from the city as quickly as possible and to better meet Marley Perot, the place he chose to stop was the downstream area of the Cangyue Lake waterway.
"It seems that luck is on our side! Boy Marley!" Pellerini said with a happy face and did not take this matter to heart. In just ten minutes, he was about to leave here - with fruitful results. , returned to the Alliance of Eternals to show off their power.
In such a short time, unless Wuming Doe grows wings, there is no way he can catch up with him.
"You are right, the goddess of luck favors the brave."
Fifteen minutes later, the boy who went to the factory to buy books came back. He looked safe and in good spirits. He was wearing a delivery rider's helmet and his body was covered in dust.
"Boss! Boss! Boss Pellerini! Look at this book?!"
"Here it comes! Here it comes! You bastard! Didn't I say it! You are not allowed to call me by my real name when performing tasks?!" Pellerini licked his lips excitedly, moved his body, and squeezed towards the door of the RV. .
The cover of the book has the scent of ink, so it is indeed factory brand new.
Open the first page——
——He saw a familiar pattern.
It was the streets of Lion King Avenue, and the photos taken from the perspective of a drone have been firmly imprinted on the catalog.
A scene where Marley Perrault is using the power of the eye of the storm and escaping in a panic.
The kid's right arm got into the storm, and the blood stains left on the glass turned into a sentence.
"Go to the printing shop and you will definitely find him."
Pellelini opened the book. He didn't understand the inner meaning of the picture for a while. He was completely absorbed in it, chatting with Marley about the past and the future——
——He never paid attention to such a small matter as buying a book.
Behind the page, a pair of bright cat eyes stood up in the dark helmet.
Getting closer, Pellerini finally smelled the gunsmith's scent and the terrifying spiritual pressure.
"You just said yes, your name is Pellerini, right?"
