old dream

Chapter 404 Your Weapon
He freed an important death row prisoner, thus delaying a crucial operation.

Will the people from the investigation department come directly to arrest him?
Then he will be sent to the secret court in Building No. [-]?
Or in fact, nothing will happen, and the commander will still forgive himself as usual, saying: "I hope you can do so next time."

... It's better not to think about it, Emile laughed at himself.

Now that you have done it, let's face the result honestly.

After completing the most outrageous adventure of his life, Emile found that he was not as happy as he thought.

Perhaps it was because Vera's expression when she regained her freedom was completely different from what she had expected.

Talking to himself, he gave her the most important thing, but is that really what Vera needs?
Of course it is, Emil said to himself.

Because living is the premise of everything.

Not knowing whether it was a dream or waking up, Emil spent the night in a daze.

But he was surprisingly not sleepy. On the contrary, after getting up, his shoulders seemed to be much lighter, and his body stood extraordinarily straight.

After idling around the room for a few times, Emil walked into the bathroom and began to clean his hair and face seriously.

When I was forcibly taken away by someone, I would definitely look very embarrassed.But Emil felt that compared to being commended by the Intelligence Department in the past, this was something that really deserved his chest.

So he wanted to take advantage of the present to tidy up himself more energetically, preferably more neatly and decently than ever.Emir has decided not to make any resistance for a while, but instead will take the initiative to walk into the car that escorted him.In this way, he declares to everyone that he is not only a prisoner, but also a winner.

By the time the packing was done, it was already 7:[-] am.But the door remained silent.Emil sat on the edge of the bed and waited for a while, then simply got up and started packing his luggage.He has never experienced prison life, so he still needs to bring some personal items with him, even if he is on the road?Unknowingly, there are more and more things in the suitcase, but the arrest still hasn't come.

He was thankful at first, because the later the Investigation Department found out, the more hope Vera would have of escaping Danalo.But gradually, he realized that something was wrong.Grand Duke Qiuhun's team is scheduled to start at nine o'clock, so at eight o'clock at the latest the commander will find that she did not show up as agreed.But now, it's already ten o'clock.

Emil tied up the suitcase and placed it in the middle of the empty room.

In fact, he has already noticed a possibility in his heart, but he is unwilling to continue thinking about it.Emil looked at his luggage, watching its shadow slant a little bit, faded, and finally merged with the reappearing darkness.It was night, he hadn't had a drop of water, and he was still waiting for his arrest warrant.

At this time, he heard some noises outside from a distance, as if hundreds of people were making noise.That's an unusual situation for this secluded abode.

Emil came to the window, opened the shutter a little, and saw a mess of fires a few hundred meters away.It was a long line of people and luxurious carriages, like a procession.It just seemed a little flustered, obviously not caring about the orderliness of the queue, and there was no band guard of honor, just rushing towards the inner city regardless.

If you look carefully, you can find that the coat of arms of the Edmund family is still engraved on the carriage doors. This is the returning team of the Garden Palace's autumn hunting.They should have walked around the city flamboyantly in front of the crowd, or had to parade on the most bustling street in the inner city before going back. In any case, they should never sneak along such a secluded path in the middle of the night.

What's more, this autumn hunting has a whole five-day process, so how could it be possible to return at night on the day of departure?Something must have happened, something must have happened... Emil's thinking seemed to stop for a moment, but his body rushed out of the residence involuntarily.

Although it was midnight, many onlookers gathered on the side of the road, but they were quickly dispersed by police detectives on horseback with whips.Amidst the chaotic whistle and hoofbeats, Emil kept pushing towards the autumn hunting team, regardless of how conspicuous he was in formal attire, or that there was a high probability that there were informants among the noble women in the team. , now he doesn't care about anything.Because he couldn't get close to the team, Emil even wanted to grab the whip whipped by a police detective with his hand, even if it would make his hand bloody immediately, and then asked the other party loudly what happened, was the Grand Duke assassinated?What about that assassin now?

But before he could do so, a withered but extremely powerful hand grabbed Emil's wrist, and with a slow but irresistible firmness, he forcibly led him away from the crowd.It was the commander's hand. Emil wanted to break free, but found that he was unable to resist as always, and was taken away from the scene like a walking dead.

He looked at the commander's back with a pleading look, wishing that what awaited him was an unbearable reprimand, or even an extremely cold arrest order.

But it turns out, there's nothing there.

"You did a good job." The old man praised calmly:

"Vera executed it very well... It's a pity that we couldn't save her body in the end."

Emil felt a little sticky on his wrist, he raised it to look, and found that the place held by the commander was already blood red.He knew that it should be the commander's blood, and he pulled himself out of the crowd just now, maybe the bandaged wound on the old man's body had opened again.But in a trance, Emil felt that it was Vera's blood, which evenly covered the old man's hands.

Obviously she had already untied the hint, but Vera still carried out the suicide order.

Is it implying that it has not been cleaned up?
"Now I can say that she definitely did not die in vain." The commander said to Emil, apologetic in his voice, but the excitement in it also could not be concealed:

"Vera's exchange for things tonight, even if it takes hundreds or thousands of lives, it can't be measured... Don't worry, we won't let her die in vain."

It will not let her die in vain, but will squeeze the last trace of residual heat from the corpse.Emile thought indifferently.

The good news is, she really likes you.

The bad news is that she died because she really liked you.

Vera's feelings for you eventually became the rope to hang her.

That being the case, what's the point of his last "feat"?The beautiful bubble has been punctured, but the unbearable facts have not changed.

Might as well end in a sweet dream.

Miraculously, Emil didn't feel any heartache at the moment.

He just felt withdrawn, watching all the emotions in his heart at the moment, like watching another person suffering alone.

It turns out that as long as you want to, you can feel no pain at all.

The Commander is right, for a language magician, all words and emotions are just weapons.

Emotions are easy to be manipulated, and they will only torment people in vain... If you are not sure whether the person in pain is yourself, then it is more reassuring to obey the orders of the machine.

"It seems that this time, you have managed them well?"

"Yes."

"Then think about how to use these weapons to complete the order." The commander said.

"I will," Emil said.
