Chapter 243 A Drift

“Yeah!”

Controlling the vines and throwing himself to the top of the tower, Lightly landed in front of Torreya. After handing the exquisitely packaged lunch box to Torreya, Xiao Ke sat beside her and happily opened the same lunch box in her hand.

The exquisite rice is sprinkled with ground beef and cheese, and the strong aroma diffuses all around. This is what Xiao Ke came from the Mu Qi embassy. As Mu Qi’s active “Great Sage”, Xiao Ke still has this little right. After eating two mouthfuls of hot beef rice, Xiao Ke glanced at Torea who was in a daze beside him.

“Yaya, why don’t you eat it?”

After getting along for a few days, the relationship between Xiao Ke and Torreya has improved a lot. After hearing Xiao Ke’s question, Torreya shook her hair lightly and replied softly:

“I’m thinking about something.”

“I have to eat then.”

After taking Torreya’s lunch box, Xiao Ke sprinkled mayonnaise on the beef, and then handed it to Torreya, “A friend of mine once said that no matter what troubles people, You have to eat well. Because only when you are full can you have the strength to solve those problems.”

Hearing this, Torreya took the exquisite lunch box, picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it in into the mouth. When the rich meat flavor and the taste of mayonnaise that complement each other bloomed in her mouth, Torreya narrowed her eyes, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

“Hehe, is that right?”

Looking at Torreya, who was eating beef rice quickly, Xiao Ke seemed to be infected, and a look on his face appeared. With a happy smile, her calf wrapped in stockings swayed in midair, swaying gently.

After getting in touch during these days, Xiao Ke cherishes the days with this bright moon-like girl more and more. Xiao Ke was keenly aware of the confusion and entanglement hidden in this girl who always used coldness to cover up her heart.

On the first night in Yingnan, when Xiao Ke left the clock tower to return to the embassy, she inexplicably turned her head and looked at the top of the clock tower. At that moment, Xiao Ke saw Torreya standing above the tall building. She is like a waning moon in the stars, surrounded by stars, but only lonely.

Over time, Xiao Ke began to feel pity for this girl who was equally talented in strength and intelligence. She has also worked hard in the City of Silver by herself, and she knows the taste of loneliness. So during these days, Xiao Ke came to the clock tower in the name of delivering meals. Sometimes she would talk to Torreya, but more often, she just sat quietly beside Torreya, Looking at the same landscape with her.

“Ms. Liya, I want to ask you something…”

“It’s all said to call me Xiao Ke.” Xiao Ke waved his hand and corrected it reluctantly Torreya’s name, “Tell me, I’m listening.”

After hesitating for a moment, Torreya put down the clean lunch box and asked Xiao Ke softly, “What do you think is justice? ?”

“A good person?”

This question made Xiao Ke ask a stunned question, she scratched her cheek, and replied hesitantly: “I think…helping others is a kind of Justice.”

“Are you helping others…”

Looking at Torea, who was in deep thought in front of her, Xiao Ke waved her hand in front of her and asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Why did you ask this all of a sudden?”

“I just think that Mr. Zhou Li may be right.”

Opened his palm and looked at the lines on the palm , Torreya’s eyes flashed with confusion, “If one group of people’s lives are used to save the lives of another group of people, is this really right?”

“This…”

In the face of the classic magic car problem, Xiao Ke also made a difficult problem. Right here, a thick, familiar voice suddenly came to mind.

“If you have a psychological burden, just drift and kill both of these people. There is no hard choice.”

As expected, Xiao Ke felt helpless. The smile turned back, Zhou Li with a free and easy face leaned against the door, folded his arms and looked very dedicated a beating.

“Zhou Li, do you always appear and disappear unpredictably like this?”

Having broken her own defense system twice in a row, Xiao Ke is also helpless and angry. Funny again. Of course, she was angry that she was so careless, and laughed that Zhou Li could always give different answers.

“Hello, Mr. Zhou Li.”

Torea stood up immediately when she saw Zhou Li and greeted her very politely.

“Let’s go back to your question.”

Zhou Li seemed to want to say hello to Torea, and directly abducted the topic: “You asked to sacrifice a group of people to save Is the other group of people justice, right?”

“en.”

Torreya didn’t care that Zhou Li made the topic kidnapped, nodded.

“Hehe, what’s the comparison.”

However, to the surprise of the two ladies present, Zhou Li unceremoniously uttered vulgar words, said with a cold laugh: “I shouldn’t expect your brain to turn around.”

“There is never justice in the transaction of human life, only the question of whether you want it or not.”

Zhou Li looked at Torreya with a stunned expression, and coldly said: “If you want to keep those people alive, don’t use excuses called justice to prevaricate yourself, kill if you need to, do what you need to do, and obediently and repent if you want. Honestly repent at their graves.”

Torea was silent, she lowered her head and looked at the cracks in the old clock tower, her dazed expression a little less. After a long time, she raised her head and said to Zhou Li gratefully: “Although I don’t understand very much, I have gained a lot, thank you.”

“I really want to beat you fiercely if you can answer truthfully. A meal.”

Zhou Li’s expression was a little complicated when facing such an upright Torreya, he looked at Xiao Ke and said to her, “We are going to have a banquet at home, see you…”

Looking at the clean lunch box in Xiaoke’s hand, Zhou Li was silent for a moment, then said firmly: “See if you are not full, let’s come together.”

Faced with such a Zhou Li, who shamelessly opened his eyes to talk nonsense, Xiao Ke hissed, then pretended to be disgusted, and said to Zhou Li: “Aojiao has retired from the environment, this is what you said.”

“Tsk, come or not!”

“Come, come, can’t we go, so fierce.”

Extroverted Xiaoke never stings to joke with friends, She grabbed the bewildered Torreya’s hand and said to Zhou Li, “Do you mind if I bring one more?”

“Let’s go quickly, there are so many words.”

Zhou Li turned around and walked straight down the clock tower. Xiao Ke hehe laughed, looked towards Toreia, who was bewildered, said with a smile: “Let’s go, he wants to invite you to the party, but sorry said directly, he wants me to do it for you.”

“Is that so?”

Thinking that she had angered Zhou Li, Torreya sighed in relief, she glanced at Zhou Li downstairs, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly unconsciously.

“Come on~~”

Elma took off her gloves, hummed a brisk song and trotted towards the door, her high ponytail hopping with her steps. One hop.

“Oh, welcome~”

After seeing Torreya next to Zhou Li, a look of surprise flashed on Elma’s face, and she took Zhou Li’s hand. Said with a smile to Torreya after giving her a drink: “I just made butter biscuits, it will be ready soon, you come in.” Toreia was a little stunned by her enthusiasm for Elma, the mother who had just finished cooking. She opened her mouth to say something, but when she got to her mouth, it became.

“Thank you.”

“Hey, thank you.”

Elma waved her hand and controlled the Water Element to put the slippers in front of Elma, “I always wanted to thank you in person, but I couldn’t find you.”

“I prefer to see the scenery, so I usually stay in a bell tower.”

Torea As if restrained by Elma, he couldn’t let go of his hands and feet in front of Elma for some reason. Elma noticed this, too, and didn’t ask, just moved out of the way. Then he asked Zhou Li curiously, “Where’s Xiao Ke? Why didn’t you see her?”

tone barely fell, Xiao Ke, who was hiding beside him, suddenly appeared and hugged Elma with a smile.

“I’m here~~”

Elma, who was startled, patted Xiao Ke’s hair lightly in embarrassment, and then a happy expression appeared on her face: ” Everyone is here today.”

“Yeah.”

Zhou Li stepped forward, extended the hand and wiped a smear of flour from Elma’s nose, “Ivy and the others are back. Have you?”

“We’re all back, studying the seasoning of skewers in the backyard.”

“Have fun today.”

Zhou Li Stretching out, he said with emotion: “This is the first day of my resignation, which is quite memorable.”

“Of course.”

Elma patted Zhou On Li’s shoulders, he said brightly, “It’s a good day, of course we have to celebrate.”

******************** *****************

“Fuck, isn’t this taking me as a toy?!”

brightly at Zhou Li’s house lit, happy laughter and cheerful voices. At this time, the Jordanian government building was also brightly lit, but it was foul language.

He slapped the table hard, and faced with the document “Arrangements for Orphans During the Plague” that was leaking in his hands, Istar’s face was full of sorrow, “This is not simply for me to review, this is to inform me. .”

“Lord Ista, I saw it, it is indeed like this.” “There is nothing that can be changed. If you change it forcibly, the consequences will be disastrous.”

Thirty-two documents are approved in one day, and the main work is to discuss with his assistant whether he exists or not Meaning, Istar is about to collapse.

He hates this feeling of powerlessness very, very, very, very, very, very much. He clearly understands every word on it and understands the use of these laws and regulations, but he just can’t change it.

Ah, he can change it. Under the unremitting efforts of Istar and Ackerman for three hours, they researched the loopholes in the “treatment method of Jordanian feces during the plague”, and were pleasantly surprised to find that Istar could contract with only two modifications. The whole Plague Zone is dung.

That’s great news, haha, what a comparison.

Now, Istar has been made big by countless laws and regulations, and he doesn’t want to see any document again. Now Istaba can’t come and two assassins come in and assassinate himself, and cut himself seriously with one knife, so that he can be called sick to the outside world.

But…

Standing up, looking towards the army outside the window, which was suffocating the Jordan Building, Istar wanted to cry without tears. Although these soldiers gave him a great sense of security, they also made him feel powerless for a while. According to normal people’s thinking, these armies should be protection on the surface, and surveillance in the dark.

If that’s the case, Istar doesn’t really care. He was surprised not to set eyeliner.

And Zhou Li was the biggest accident.

Ista was stunned after learning that this group of troops was really just protecting themselves from the outside world and not monitoring any of their communication equipment.

Then he understood Zhou Li’s intentions.

You go to contact, you go to discuss with your nobles, it is useless anyway, you can just discuss if you want.

This is contempt, a defiant contempt. But it was this kind of contempt that left the Duke of Istar helpless. At this time, he was completely a toy who was angry on all sides. The nobles wanted him to open the back door, the civilians wanted him to die, the military and other forces were on the sidelines, and Zhou Li was a happy group.

Only the wounded world appeared.

Thinking of this, Ista was suffocated, and he felt a pain in his chest.

“Ackerman, what should I do?”

unfathomable mystery Istar, who became the consul, was very confused at this time, as a disdainful Istar, who was in the same black business as the nobles, but had to stand on the same side as the nobles, was completely lost. Now he found that the relationship between the nobles that he once thought was the strongest has now become his biggest burden.

“Do you really want me to say it?”

As Istar’s confidant, Ackerman did not shy away, bluntly said: “If I really say Now, it’s up to you whether you accept it or not, but don’t blame me for being too straight.”

“Speak.”

Ista reluctantly shook the head, said with a bitter smile: “Although I know what you want to say, I still want to hear your thoughts.”

“It’s simple.”

took a deep breath, Ah Kerman bluntly said: “Abandon the nobility completely and stand on Zhou Li’s side.”

“Ai, I knew it.”

sighed, Istar sat on the chair , closed his eyes and said solemnly: “I also thought about it, but if I did, what should I do if Zhou Li left Yingnan after this incident?”

“Then why? Why don’t you ask General Christine?”

Ackerman adjusted his glasses and replied calmly: “General Christine also defected to Zhou Li, he is a man just like you, Also in a high position.”

“I’m not the same as him.”

Waved his hand, Istar replied: “Kristin…don’t look at him for decades in politics , always looks like a perfect politician. But actually, this kid in the bones is still the blood of the soldiers.”

“And, Christine, he’s all alone, he’s in the grotesque disaster. He has been cursed in childhood and has no fertility. After his wife died of illness a few years ago, he has no relatives.”

“Where are his parents?”

Faced with the question from his subordinates, Ista thought for a while, and then said somewhat uncertainly: “Christine, it seems that she has no parents.”

“Christine is an orphan like his subordinate.”
