Russell ignored it and just drank, watching Zhou Jinru push the chess game into a very dangerous situation.
At this time, he slowly spoke: "Kesha is a good child. She has been very sensible since she was a child. Whether it is studying or anything else, it makes me worry-free."
Zhou Jinru stopped what he was doing, picked up the wine glass, and sniffed the aroma of the wine: "For any parents, such a child is simply a gift from God. In my hometown, there is a word to describe a caring and reliable daughter, called little cotton jacket." .”
"You are right, Kesha is indeed my little cotton jacket. I never imagined that one day she would leave me."
Zhou Jinru frowned slightly: "You said that you took her to St. Martin's for medical treatment and Mr. Lin received you. Didn't he provide help?"
Russell shook his head and made a move, looking at the critical situation on the chessboard: "Ivanov is a very humane person. If he were not from Ursus, I would have thought that he came from the Yan Kingdom. He gave us The biggest help, whether it's a medical condition or anything else, no one can do it better than him."
Zhou Jinru didn't speak, didn't play chess, and drank the wine in his glass silently.
"I couldn't keep her, but she left me anyway. I buried her in the public cemetery of St. Martin and left her in a civilized world."
Russell's words were inaudible. His pain was vented at this moment, and a line of tears slid down his wrinkled cheeks.
"If I had had the money and power I have now when she was born, neither she nor her mother would have left me. Poverty caused me to miss the best time for treatment, and it also consumed her life, just because we were Rust Belt people.”
Zhou Jinru drank all the wine in his glass and listened silently to this tragic scene. In his eyes, tragedies in the world were all the same. There was only one disease in the world, the disease of poverty.
"Money is a good thing."
Russell shook his head: "More than that, if you are a Rust Belt person, no matter how rich you are, in their eyes, your money must have been obtained through illegal means. They will try their best to freeze your assets and investigate thoroughly step by step. If there is, they will be severely punished and their property will be confiscated; if they are not, they will be created out of nothing, and their property will be severely punished and confiscated until the family is ruined.”
Zhou Jinru nodded, this is actually a dimensionality reduction attack. I want to destroy you, what does it have to do with you?
"This kind of malice has always existed, which is why the Integration Movement attacked Chernobog two years ago. The angry infected tore up everything in sight. Mr. Timos, your cooperation with the Integration Movement, don't you also see it?" Got into this?"
"Not entirely. Our ancestors gave up resistance, so our fate was so tragic. Not everyone has the courage to face the bloody reality, so I gave them a second way."
Russell took the king one step further. This move completely brought the chess game to an end. Zhou Jinru only needed to move one more step to checkmate him.
"Checkmate."
Zhou Jinru will not miss the opportunity in front of him.
Russell turned a deaf ear and said to himself: "I know what you want to do, terminate the dream ritual, but I must remind you that the dream ritual is irreversible and cannot be terminated after it starts, unless you can kill all the dreamers and let them The dream collapses, which is obviously impossible.”
He took off the king's chess piece with his fingers, slapped it heavily on the table, folded half of it and gave it to Zhou Jinru, and put the other half back to the king's original position. Except for the chess pieces that had been eaten, the remaining chess pieces were also put back. to the original position.
"Mr. Timos, you are committing a foul."
"I didn't. You won, didn't you?"
Zhou Jinru looked at the half of the king chess piece in front of him, then looked at the half of the king on Russell's side, and vaguely understood something.
"But you didn't lose either."
Russell smiled and said: "Yes, because I am still sitting here."
Zhou Jinru placed the half of the king's chess piece on his side of the chessboard: "You will definitely lose."
"Why?" Yuyu
Click.
Zhou Jinru quickly pulled out his revolver and pointed the gun at Russell's eyebrows, as if he would pull the trigger in the next second.
Russell exclaimed: "As expected of you."
Zhou Jinru put away the revolver, Russell acted very calmly and did not show any restraint. He was still a human being, not a monster of the deep sea.
"Mr. Aguang, there is nothing here you want, and the favor I owe you has been repaid."
Russell paused and continued: "Be careful of those in the deep sea. You are their natural enemy. They will try every means to kill you. Remember, be careful of the people behind you."
He grabbed the black king that was broken into two parts and threw it in the middle of the chessboard, without distinguishing between each other or me.
Russell's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving Zhou Jinru alone sitting there looking at the two chess pieces in a daze.
For a long time, Zhou Jinru's mouth twitched a few times: "What's behind me? You told me that I drag everyone forward, and there are people behind me. Do I have to doubt everyone?"
boom!
The doctor from Rhode Island raised his leg and kicked over the chessboard, causing large and small black and white chess pieces to scatter on the floor.
…
…
Russell opened his eyes after returning to the real world. He was still sitting in his living room, but Zhou Jinru was no longer on the sofa opposite.
"Notify all the gangs on standby and ask them to move towards the Broken Avenue and prepare to meet our mobile city. If any outsiders attempt to approach the mobile city, we will attack with all our strength regardless of casualties."
The hero of Saint Aral suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with coldness. Now, he was about to go to the battlefield himself.
"This is our last fight. Every step we compromise becomes a shackle that oppresses us. Every step we take is a defeat. Now we only have life left."
His words were sonorous and powerful, like the sound of gold and stone, and the hands that had been arranged in advance began to move.
In an instant, a silent city came to life. Countless people came out of their hiding places, holding weapons in their hands and shouting slogans, and rushed towards the once glorious avenue.
"Russell, the world is stable. If there is more here, there will be less there. It is impossible to create an extra person or thing out of thin air. The person or thing you seek will have to pay the same price."
Russell clenched the pocket watch in his hand and recalled what someone once said. If it comes to price, he has paid enough. Even if it is a little more, it will be nothing. Everything he strives for will change within two hours. for truth.
"Father."
My daughter's voice came from behind.
"Kesha, why aren't you in the room?"
Russell turned his head and stroked his daughter's silky hair dotingly.
Kesha's voice trembled: "Father, will I lose you?"
"No, I will always be by your side."
