"A war of aggression without any cover."
Suddenly, Zhou Li's style changed and a kind expression appeared on his face. He looked at the calm-looking Magnum III and said in a normal tone: "So, what are you planning?"
Magnum III did not answer. He just looked at Zhou Li blankly, his expression a little confused. After a while, he regained his composure and looked at Zhou Li. Magnum III said with great interest: "Plan? I have many plans. Which one do you want to know?"
"What do you want to gain in the war?"
Zhou Li looked at the old man in front of him, and a deep aura filled the hall. This time, there were no intrigues or infighting. In this matter, Zhou Li chose to ask directly.
At least that's what it looks like on the surface.
"What to gain?"
Magnum III muttered to himself first, then he knocked on his scepter and said thoughtfully: "Wealth? Rights? Land? No, you won't believe these things."
"Then what do you believe?"
Magnum III's cloudy eyes reflected the shadow of Zhou Li. He looked at Zhou Li with a hoarse and heavy voice: "You know, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you had something to do with Emperor Chong. A lot of differences.”
"I've been thinking about it for a long time, what is the difference between you and him?"
"Emperor Chong is also very frivolous sometimes. Like you, he can also make people feel extremely frightened when he is angry. He is also wise, strategic, resourceful, and fair. He is not an easy hero to deal with. He is very close to you. Like, they really look alike, but every time I see you, I understand that you and he are not the same person."
A mocking smile appeared on Magnum III's lips. As if he had seen some big joke, he said slowly: "I understand now, what is the difference between you and him."
"You do not believe."
Three words came out of Magnum's mouth. Zhou Li's expression showed no emotion, he just stared at the old man silently. Magnum III responded to Zhou Li's explanation and said with a smile: "I just understand that you don't believe anything!"
"Not only do you not believe in imperial power, you do not believe in divine power, you do not believe in power, but these are not important! You brave men have the right not to believe in everything! But what I didn't expect is..."
Magnum III smiled and laughed, unable to suppress the joy in his heart and said with a smile:
"You don't even believe in justice!"
As if something great had happened to him, Magnum III, who was calm and unfazed by the past, was so happy. He laughed loudly, and the scepter in his hand kept tapping the ground. The thumping sound resounded in the hall, making people feel panicked.
"Here, I'll give it!" After laughing, the old man looked at Zhou Li and said loudly: "Twenty thousand is not enough, I'll give you forty thousand! After this is done, I will give you half of the property of the Muqi Republic! What do you want? What, what shall I give you!”
"Ah."
This time, Zhou Li's smile was very sincere, "How can you tell that I don't believe in justice?"
Magnum III looked at Zhou Li as if he were looking at a golden mountain, cherishing it very much, "What you just asked me."
"Oh?" Zhou Li raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "I ask you what do you want to gain from the war? This sentence?"
"Yes, that's it."
Magnum III nodded and said with a smile, a sincere smile: "When you asked me, there was no question or anger."
"You are just curious and curious about what I want. Just like an ordinary person asking another ordinary person what do you want to salvage when you go to sea this time. You are not angry or angry, and you have no desire to execute justice. You just want to get what you want, right?"
The old man's words made Zhou Li silent for a long time. After a while, he finally spoke:
"What do you think justice is?"
"I don't know what justice is, but I know what injustice is."
The old man grasped the scepter tightly and replied: "I know it is unjust to invade other countries. I know it is unjust to massacre the indigenous people and set up a festival to commemorate them. I know it is unjust to cause turmoil in other countries, and it is unjust to conceal it. Killing is unjust, destroying is unjust.”
"But, I don't care."
The old man's eyes were like colorless and odorless water, with no waves, no ups and downs, and no sense of existence. He looked at it quietly and said softly: "I only know that I have made my people live a good life, and that is enough."
Zhou Li didn't say anything. He just let out a long sigh and then asked, "Okay, I agree."
"But I have a request."
Facing Zhou Li, the old man nodded and agreed with him to continue.
"First, 40,000 gold coins, every penny will be sent to the Zisha Chamber of Commerce."
Zhou Li stretched out a second finger and continued: "Second, before the war, you will send someone to visit the Muqi Republic, right?"
Magnum III nodded and admitted this statement. Zhou Li looked at him for a few seconds and then continued:
"Send me and I'll go on a mission."
Magnum III was stunned for a moment, but he didn't look very surprised. He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, I agree."
"good."
Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the magnificent hall and asked curiously: "So, can you tell me this time what is the reason for this war?"
This time, Magnum III did not hide anything
"Starry sky."
Two words rang out in the hall.
Zhou Li was stunned. After hearing these two words, countless thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Star... sky..."
He raised his head in confusion, looked at Magnum III, and said these two words hesitantly.
Magnum III nodded and said to him: "What I want is the starry sky."
starry sky.
………
"Starry sky..."
Zhou Li lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking. Magnum III did not speak, but looked at Zhou Li quietly. After a while, Zhou Li suddenly made a sound.
"Ah."
A chuckle.
"Hahaha."
Some enlightened laughter.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
What followed was hysterical, disbelieving laughter.
Zhou Li leaned against the pillar and kept laughing. He laughed wildly and loudly, louder than Magnum III. But this time, Zhou Li did not laugh with joy like Magnum III. His smile was an unconcealable, sarcastic smile.
He seemed to be mocking the old man in the lobby, as if the old man had told a big joke. But his smile was still a little sad, the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox sad. Zhou Li pointed at the old man in the main hall, smiled and said tremblingly:
"Hahaha...I understand, I finally understand..."
"I see, that's it, I finally understand how you died!!!"
