Chapter t.4 The Grand Design·Great Design

[Part①·The bet with the devil]

After Marquis Gloria Sebastian finished her harsh words, she ordered the butler Mr. Sirius to entertain the guests well.

Bu Liuxing was convinced in his heart that if he didn't use other powerful psychic props and couldn't find an outside move to break the game, and only relied on the soul power of [Wham Rap·Mr. Wham], there would be no way to protect the Homesickness. crew.

He has been deeply involved in this bet. He signed the deed of sale and took away the bottle of blood, and the contract was officially established.

To put it in a more humorous way, at least Meteor is still a contractor. Although there is only a verbal agreement, judging from Dame Gloria's behavior, this arrogant and enthusiastic devil will still be elegant before the bet is officially decided. Sitting at the head of the church, she will not persecute anyone else except for the human chips in every gambling game.

This is what Brother Ming said - the easiest and most difficult enemy to deal with.

This kind of leader-type character has a logic of thinking that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, has extraordinary demeanor and charisma, has many minions and is loyal, has strong cohesion in the team, and has a strong will to fight - if he wants to say something nice and say something driving, The cunning and cunning scheme of a tiger devouring a wolf is absolutely fantastic.

Unlike other interest groups led by the Wings of Light, Meteor had already been convinced in his heart during the short half-hour of contact with Gloria that the demons and monsters under this woman's hands would never have evil thoughts towards his master. This baroness The halo of her is so dazzling, even if we don’t talk about the weird ability of [Sing for me·Sing for me], she doesn’t need dice to win people’s hearts, this witch has a mouth full of martial arts, and a good body blessed by the holy blood. With these alone, she They can all become omnipotent gods in the eyes of the blood-granting unit.

Demons and ghosts may persecute the devil and try to ascend the throne of the devil, but when they see the dazzling light of the god, they will only kneel down and beg for mercy and try to support the evil god. Moreover, with the help of [Sing for me·Sing for me], These minions of the devil can also have the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil to predict fate. In this way, Gloria can indeed call herself the God of Wine, an incarnation of the goddess of fertility, and the afterimage left by the sun of Shambhala when it walks on the earth. .

She's nothing like gang leader Laurence Madison - she doesn't talk about family matters, but behind the scenes it's all about business. Family ties are not used to solidify gang rule.

She is not like Johnny, the god of love. She does not follow the high-pressure management of the Puritans, and does not make the religious group as panic-stricken as the company. She also wants to establish a religious leader who is the compassionate love god.

She is just the same on the surface, her arrogance is very similar to other members of the Eternal Alliance, she is a little less greasy than George Joshua, and her soul power far exceeds that of Pellelini.

Why is it the easiest to deal with?

Because Dame Gloria has already sent the challenge to Bu Liuxing——

——Other than that, there are no reservations. As long as you can defeat the special psychic power of [Sing for me·Sing for me] and control the dice of destiny, everything will become clear.

Why is it the most difficult to deal with?

Because there are no shortcuts on this road, and the enemy's soul power is very powerful. Any emergency situation will lead to a narrow escape, and it requires all the effort and effort to fight an arduous and tough battle.

How do we do this? How to overcome the dice rules of [Sing for me·Sing for me]? Kill this immortal?

Meteor had basically no gossip in his mind. He followed Butler Parker all the way back to the guest room and talked about the matter privately with his two friends from the Fairy Tale Kingdom.

There were many books on the bookshelf in the guest room. Duran rummaged through the room, checking cameras, circuit switches and other eavesdropping and filming devices one by one. In the enemy's territory, her heart was always hanging in the air.

In the past, Duran was also so clever when she was helping Lawrence in the drug business in the Little Brotherhood. No matter whether it was psychic powers or modern electronic monitoring equipment, she could not escape her detection. This sense of counter-detection allowed her to survive until the day when the Anonymous Doe arrived. .

After thoroughly checking, she finally made sure that the guest room was clean and no one else was peeping or eavesdropping.

"[Timelines·Timeline]!—Bite him!"

The spirit body of the white snake sprang out from Dulan's shoulder, and a python as thick as a wrist stood up.

This was the first time Meteor saw it. It came up and bit the crying general's neck without saying a word!

"What are you doing!" Meteor was caught off guard, and the armored warrior protector was eager to pinch the weak white snake's seven-inch vitals with both hands.

For a moment, there were finger marks on Du Lan's neck. Her face turned livid, and she hit Bu Liuxing's head hard several times, screaming in her throat: "I want to talk to you!"

"Oh" Ah Xing woke up from a dream, and then he remembered the wonderful use of the spirit body.

When a psychic wants to convey a message, sometimes he or she does not need to speak or write or leave a message.

As long as the spirit body and the spirit body open their hearts and interact with each other, they can understand their thoughts.

This voice exists in the moment of life and death, and also in the moment where flesh and blood meet.

White Snake's previous psychic skills with FE2048elines·Timeline] also used this technique. As long as the spirit body bites FE204863's neck, it can hear the other party's voice and share the power of [Timelines·Timeline].

The sharp snake fangs penetrated Ah Xing's carotid artery, almost reaching the center of the spine.

At this moment, Flavia's expression became strange. This was the first time that assistant Duran had behaved so intimately with another member of the opposite sex in front of her. She couldn't say it, but she could obviously tell that she was a little angry.

A cold and smelly inspiration pressure slowly seeped into Meteor's throat and neck, and the landscape in the room became distorted and blurred. It seemed that the spiritual tide of [Timelines·Timeline] was affecting his bioelectrical system, causing The brain made a wrong judgment.

He felt dizzy, and Duran's voice came to his mind.

"Why did you agree to this bet? General Cry, I don't understand."

Bu Liuxing didn't speak, but the soul had already answered: "I can't escape. Dame Gloria's target has been me from beginning to end - and maybe you and Flavia, the three of us are psykers."

"You know? For people like me, the biggest weakness is not dying on the battlefield, and the saddest thing is not losing to the enemy."

"My biggest fear and most powerful inner demon is to see an innocent and helpless victim die in front of me, but I can't do anything about it, fearing that it will hate it and get trapped in it."

"To use a wonderful metaphor to describe it - a man is like a lion, with weapons all over his body. Only his life is at stake, and the king of beasts can only flee."

"Unlike Brother Ming, he may retreat temporarily to regroup and prepare to come back for revenge."

"If I escape and cannot get past this level, then the inner demon that I defeated when I faced the Apostle Hound and the Incarnate Butterfly in Eureka Volcano City will come back to me."

"This is my personality, an element that I cannot get rid of, and an important factor that makes up who I am."

“Captain Guagua is very nice and so are the crew.”

"Whether it's you or Flavia, you are both fine."

"I think you took such a long detour and finally found a new home."

"But the devil Gloria has turned you into human chips. In front of the dice, Flavia has almost no ability to resist. Maybe you are the same, Dulan, you are the same - you can't get out of Dongma Port at all. , can’t even leave this church.”

"Gloria Sebastian is the maker of the rules. She has a set of dice laws. If I don't take this cup of blood and refuse this appointment, my fate will probably be no better than Old Bones - we have no choice. Violent resistance to the law does not have the ability to reverse fate."

"Maybe in a few words, I will be persuaded by this devil, deceived by her, intimidated by her - and then become an obedient puppet on strings."

"You should be able to feel that [Timelines·Timeline]'s investigative capabilities are very good. In your eyes, that extraordinary existence and that incredible soul power should be able to evolve into many different tragic endings - —I’m afraid I’ve lost many times?”

Dulan's expression became extremely ugly, because Meteor was right.

The ability of [Timelines·Timeline] is to speculate on future changes through existing information. Although her soul power is limited and many changes will occur, during the time when Meteor and Gloria faced off, she has already I saw twelve different endings.

No matter how Meteor struggles and resists, whether he uses force to talk directly, or uses his mind and will to fight against the soul power dice of [Sing For Me·Sing For Me].

The results that Duran saw, without exception, all led to failure, either death, or being completely transformed into a blood-giving monster by Gloria. The crying general was as fragile as a baby in front of the baroness.

But to her surprise, Bu Liuxing took the holy blood and walked out of the terrifying restaurant.

This is a future that [Timelines·Timeline] cannot understand. Dulan's soul is not tough enough. Even if her brain is overclocked, she still cannot figure out the true thoughts of these big shots before she becomes a [Modern Siren].

If the optimal solution is followed, Duran will remind Meteor, drink the holy blood and escape from the church, find a panacea to cure the holy blood in his body, and call the anonymous partners to carry out the task.

But if she did this, she and Flavia might not survive the next day, or they might have to compromise and return to the embrace of the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult.

She didn't dare to speak, didn't dare to make a choice, didn't dare to speak out. This was the "optimal solution" for Bu Liuxing, and it was also the time when Duran and Flavia were in danger.

The moment Old Bones appeared, the story told by [Timelines·Timeline] took on new changes.

This powerful space-time disturbance phenomenon gave Duran a splitting headache. The overbearing spiritual energy tide almost compressed a few minutes into a short moment, like turning a wet towel back into a high-pressure form, and stuffed it into her vagina. Hippocampus and cerebral cortex, she no longer dared to use the ability of [Timelines·Timeline] at will until the end of Step Meteor's turn.

"I understand, I will fully support you. Although my soul power is not good at fighting, it can more or less help you point out several possibilities in the future."

[Part②·The tailor and the singer]

After listening to Meteor's voice, Du Lan still looked complicated. She first expressed her attitude and then asked Meteor's plan.

"What are you going to do? Will you go to your appointment tomorrow morning?"

Meteor shook his head and sat cross-legged on the bed with an innocent smile on his face——

"——What do you think? If you were me? What would you do?"

Duran put himself in the general's shoes and thought about it. What would he do if he cried?

Since Gloria Sebastian's ability is limited to communication and communication, she has not been beaten by the Baroness and knows very little about the enemy's combat capabilities. [Timelines·Timeline] naturally cannot speculate on how to proceed. The result of the battle between Ryusei and Gloria.

Putting aside these complicated factors, let's just talk about Bu Liuxing's personality.

Dulan's expression immediately changed, and he even seemed a little bit dumbfounded.

"You have to go to the cloakroom."

Bu Liuxing: "That's right."

Duran: "Just tonight, right now?"

Bu Liuxing: "Yes."

Duran: "If you find Belloberg, you'd better find a gun."

Bu Liuxing: "That's right."

Duran: "Talk to Butler Parker and ask which room Gloria sleeps in, what her sleeping habits are like, and what her sleep quality is like."

Bu Liuxing: "Don't you understand me very well?"

"Then you kick open her door and fight for her?" After Dulan said this, he started laughing for no reason.

Bu Liuxing corrected him: "It's not a desperate attempt, it's a sneak attack. If the plan succeeds, there won't be any inexplicable thirteenth bet. I only need to drink a glass of blood wine and play dice with her alone to compare the points. Use Bello Berg performed a craniotomy on her.”

"But..." Du Lan opened his mouth wide in surprise and said, "You know, you only have a 27% success rate."

"So we have to sneak attack." Ah Xing explained this "night attack first with great success" plan in a serious manner, just like all his previous "rampage, kicking the door and then talking about the plan", his eyes were still full of innocence, and he had not been The stupidity of wisdom pollution, "She would never have imagined that I would not sleep at night. I know this kind of people best! They regard agreements and promises as more important than life! All they dream about is tomorrow's gamble!"

Dulan started scratching his head, feeling like a new brain was growing in his head.

She thought of many ways, and Hunwei had been silently coming up with ideas, such as setting fire to the house, poisoning with a panacea, or getting some explosives to cheat. If nothing else worked, she could discuss it with Old Bones. Let's see. Can you pry the arbiter's mouth?

But what the crying general said seems to be feasible - because any conspiracy and conspiracy will seem so ridiculous in the face of the absolute power gap.

Even after these thirteen games, Bu Liuxing really came to Gloria, wouldn't he still have to go through a round of dice battle and bet his life with the devil?

Things were simpler now. Meteor took off his pajamas sent from the church cloakroom, changed back into travel clothes, and was about to rush out the door. The spiritual communication between White Snake and the Crying General was also broken.

Dulan froze on the spot and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She was shocked by this strong spiritual power and shocked by the so-called "sneak attack plan".

She didn't follow him because Meteor emphasized to her before leaving.

"Protect yourself, protect Flavia."

"I'm a hero! Heroes can't run away from battle! Duran!"

This kid seems to have never grown up. Whether it is the lines he speaks or the proud and proud posture, there is no difference from ten years ago.

the other side--

——A new customer came to the cloakroom.

Just after eleven o'clock, a tailor from Dongma Port Industrial Park brought his daughter to ask to see Dame Gloria.

The young butler Parker looked through his schedule and saw a new visit request added by the Baroness.

"Hello Mr. Derek!"

The old tailor looked strong and strong, with thick black hair and thick beard, and a pair of piercing blue eyes. He was also one of the first immigrants to come to Daxia from the Western Continent with Baroness Gloria. He makes clothes in Hujiawan, Dongma Port, and most of the clothes used to entertain guests in the cloakroom of the Dionysus Church are his works.

His full name is Derek Jokic, and the red-haired girl following him is named Christina Tang - according to the tailor himself, this daughter takes her mother's surname.

"Lord Gloria has entered a meditative state. She does not see visitors at this time." Sirius Parker looked embarrassed: "The visit was originally scheduled for tomorrow morning, why did you come here at night?"

When Mr. Derek spoke Chabon Chinese, his voice was low, with a hint of secret joy.

"I brought a full set of tools, all hard goods packed in the bottom of the box. When I received the call from the Baroness, I immediately put down what I was doing and rushed over."

Boy Parker's face was full of doubts: "Isn't this appointment for tomorrow morning?"

"It's true that the appointment is tomorrow morning." Derek then responded: "But the bet didn't say that I can't come early, right?"

"That's true," Parker murmured.

Derek showed off his cutting knife and scissors, opened his coat, and saw rows of sharp textile shuttles hanging from the inner pockets. Tailor-made clothes were his specialty. Gambling, fighting, and fighting could only be considered hobbies, but what he loved was his. Life, this is also the first opponent Gloria prepares for General Crying.

The old tailor continued.

"My [The Grand Design·Great Design] can be used again. It has always been an honor for me to work for the Baroness. If I can receive her call, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

At this point, the tailor lowered his voice and started talking in a low voice.

"And the bet doesn't say that I can't slit someone's throat while they're sleeping. Are you right, Mr. Parker?"

Boy Parker finally understood: "Oh! You want to carry out a sneak attack? Are you going to make a fool of yourself?"

"Shhh" Derek explained: "This is a surprise, it won't work if you tell it."

People were coming and going in the cloakroom, and the maids heard the conversation between the butler and the guests. They listened in one ear and out the other, pretending not to hear them at all.

Bu Liuxing was sitting next to him, holding Belloberg's sword pouch. He hadn't had time to take out the gun to test the ammunition. Hearing these words, he had no time to take out the shotgun, and was too embarrassed to hold the firearm in front of others. He just stared at it. Wearing the iron tool in his coat, he took the opportunity to look at the girl behind Derek.

The girl's face was lifeless, as pale as a dead person, her eye sockets were sunken, as if she had lost moisture, and her pupils were dilated. Paired with the bright red and green singer's costume and the leather collar around her neck, it all looks so weird.

Derek, the old tailor, felt a strange gaze. Following the direction of his gaze, he happened to see Bu Liuxing behind Butler Parker——

——This delicate atmosphere will continue, he looked at Butler Parker.

Meteor also looked at Butler Parker. Boy Parker was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say, so he smiled back at them one after another.

The three of them exchanged glances with each other, then stopped moving.

Until Old Bones came out of the closet cabinet, passed through the wall, floated to Parker's side, leaned on the young butler's shoulder, blue fire came out of his empty eyes, even if he couldn't make an expression, he could still see it. The expression on this skull——

——It was a micro-expression full of playfulness.

"Do I have to wait forever? Parker? Your turn isn't over yet?"
