Civilization Guardian Front

"Why why why why why..."

Among the text messages every day, only the first three or four messages are normal. Once the next ten or so messages are clicked, they basically fill the entire screen with "why" and "it hurts"...

Although it is an ordinary text in a mobile phone text message, but there are only two endless loops of words, but it can make people clearly feel the monstrous resentment of the sender.

Tifa seemed to see a thick black resentment breaking through the solid earl's special mobile phone and directly piercing into the heart of the holder.

Just passing through a text message can make you breathless, and even feel heart palpitations.

Worse than a curse...

Taking a deep breath to calm down, the girl said with a little worry:

"Chios, what are you going to do?"

When she thought about it, the young people around her would show distress or helplessness, but...

"Ah..."

With a gentle smile that was consistent with usual, Chios first kissed the phone screen lightly, and then pressed the standby button to restore the screen to darkness.

"I have made Baixue wait for ten years, and she has indeed kept the promise..."

The youthful amethyst-colored eyes looked softly towards the dark ocean ahead.

"Now, it's my turn to fulfill my promise."

Tifa stared blankly at the man in front of her, and suddenly realized...

Even after nearly a month of getting along, she never really understood her companion.

Xingjia Baixue's large number of text messages full of abnormal paranoid emotions, witnessing the moment of shocking emotions conveyed between the lines, no matter who it is, it will feel scalp numb.

but...

Chios endured it calmly, and even showed a little gentleness naturally.

What kind of psychology made him accept and even tolerate all this?

Compared with Bai Xue's overtly sick and delicate, this man's certain characteristics hidden under the bright light may be much darker and deeper.

"Don't look at me with that kind of eyes..." Feeling the curiosity in Tifa's eyes, Chios spread his hands and responded naturally:

"Bai Xue is sick and delicate, we have long understood that, although compared with the understanding through novels and other works, witnessing with my own eyes may be more stressful. But... since I changed her fate, I have to bear the corresponding burden responsibility, isn't it?"

"Take responsibility for changing destiny..."

After thinking about what the young man said, the girl nodded.

Maybe this is the difference between me and Chios...

She may be passively tolerant, respectful, considerate of others, and understand their difficulties or difficulties.

But he can't take the initiative to change the fate of others like Chios, and calmly bear everything that follows.

Tifa seems to understand why the other party can reach the threshold for promotion to Rank?D in one trial task...

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, Chios' voice came next:

"Besides, a girl with Bai Xue's personality must be very interesting to get along with..." Saying this, the young man pointed to Tifa, and gestured to his mobile phone.

Facing the girl's puzzled eyes, Chios continued in a teasing tone:

"I'm curious, what will Bai Xue do after knowing that you may become my fiancee?"

"..." Hearing this, Tifa was slightly stunned for a while.

Then, she could only thump the young man's chest lightly, and sighed helplessly but relieved.

"Back to the agreed time point, and at the same time there is the main task 4, to prevent Riko from being adopted by Vlad..."

Back to the topic, an ancient compass appeared out of nowhere in the girl's hand, and she handed it to Chios.

"Let's go."

"Although the work is busy at the moment, we can relax for a while after dealing with these tasks."

Chios said so, reached out to take the destiny compass, took out the directional pointer from the coat of arms and embedded it.

"Search for the fate time and place related to the main mission 4..."

"Set the arrival time two days in advance of the plot, choose the town closest to the mission target, and locate it in a dark place with no one."

On the compass, the pointer rotated nearly seven times counterclockwise, and then moved slightly for two scales before stopping.

""Executor Chios Pesheim (Tifa Lockhart) requests permission to use the calendar. ""

[The application of the executor team has been accepted, the calendar will be opened soon, and the countdown will start: 10, 9, 8...]

[3, 2, 1... calendar unfolds]

hum...

Chapter 190? Strange Rock City

西元2001年1月30日11：00

Seine, Normandy, Northern France, Le Havre, Etretat...

The resident population is only about 1500, and the main industries are tourism and agriculture.The coastal scenery is beautiful, and the urban area is relatively clean and tidy. Many wealthy French people buy properties here and come here for vacation in summer.

But if it is not the peak tourist season in summer, few people will be seen walking on the streets of Étretat.

The season is in late winter, and the average temperature in this small town famous for its beautiful coastal scenery is below 10°C. Thick clouds cover the sun, and the whole world is covered with a gray and gloomy color.

In the shadow of the Etretat beach and under the rock wall, a transparent mirror surface with a length of two meters and a width suddenly appeared in the void.

As soon as he walked out of the calendar mirror, Chios felt a chill that was different from that in spring and summer.

However, a dress is not too thin, and he has a physique beyond ordinary people, so it is not difficult for him to adapt.

Tifa, who was a step behind him, also set foot on the winter beach, pulled the skirt reflexively in the face of the sudden drop in temperature, and let go after realizing that his body was not as cold as he had imagined.

"It's not the city of Paris, nor Chivina, which is [-] kilometers away from the capital, but the coast..." Looking at the surrounding scenery, a hint of surprise flashed in the girl's black eyes.

"It turns out that the descendants of Arsen Robin lived in Etretta, where the strange rock city is located. It really cannot be speculated."

The black high boots walked a few steps forward on the gravel beach, and Chios, who put his hands in the pockets of his dress, took the words of his companion:

"Not only that, I don't even need to use the compass of fate to find the location of this family mansion..."

Turning around to face the west, pointing to the Avalle cliff that I am facing at the moment, the cliff is almost vertical, on the gray-white rock wall, there are distinct layers of erosion joints over the years, and the trunk-like arch rock connects the sea erosion gate of the rock pillar , which is exactly where the hollow rock pillar was discovered by Yasen Luoping.

On the top of the cliff, a 19th and 20th century neoclassical-style independent annex stands here. This building does not exist in the world where Chios was born, and its owner is not difficult to imagine...

"It is said that the treasures of the French kings of the past are hidden in the hollow rock pillars discovered by the strange thief Arsen Robin. Since Arsen Robin in this world is a real person, it seems reasonable to choose to build a home here."

Hearing this, Tifa asked a little puzzled:

"But didn't he hand over the hollow pillars to the French government?"

"Who knows, as a fictional character, Arthur Robin is a hero of the French, but as a real person, he might just be a somewhat patriotic phantom thief..."

Looking at the building above the cliff, Chios shrugged and explained to his companions:

"After all, we don't know who Yasen Luoping in Scarlet Bullet World is. If there are no accidents, he is already dead. The most important thing is to accept the facts in front of us."

After speaking, he didn't say any more, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

From August 1997, 8 to the present, the messages sent by Xingjia Baixue to himself have been transmitted in one breath, and the number of unread messages in his mobile phone has continued to increase.

Thanks to the cooperative relationship with MI[-], no matter whether it is a domestic or international call, as long as the call is made by him, the Earl of Pembroke will pay for it, and the address and identity of the caller will not be traced.

Click on the text message sent by Bai Xue, press the call button in the upper right corner, and then stick the phone to your ear.

beep... beep...

After dialing the call, it only rang twice, and the other end of the phone was picked up.

A timid and childish voice came to my ears:

"Hello? It's odd...is that sir?"

He could hear a little wind and noise in his ears, and Chios knew that Bai Xue, who was supposed to be in the shrine at the moment, was probably running to find a place to hide and talk on the phone.

Hearing the girl's expectant and somewhat unbelievable tone, the young man couldn't help showing a wicked smile in his eyes.

"Sorry, typo..."

With a tone that he misdialed, the voice faded away, as if he would hang up the phone at any time.

"Hey ah ah ah ah!?" Bai Xue, who had long remembered Chios' voice deeply in her heart, suddenly became flustered.

"This is clearly the voice of Mr., you are not mistaken! I am Baixue! Baixue!"

However, the young man with a bad temper still pretends to be hesitant.

"Sorry, Snow White...do I know you?"

"..."

The girl on the other end of the call fell silent for a moment.

Not long after, a burst of suppressed sniffling and sobbing followed.

Even Tifa next to Chios couldn't bear to bully a girl just over eight years old like this, and stared at her companion with reproachful eyes.

"I'm just kidding..." The young man knew that not only Snow White would cry, but even Tifa would attack brazenly if he continued to play a prank, so he had no choice but to give up further teasing the girl's mind.

"Hang yourself on a hook, you can't change it for 100 years, and a liar will swallow a thousand needles. How could I forget that cute girl who watched Asamushi's fireworks with me?"

Whether it's facial expressions, eyes, or voice, everything is transformed from strange to gentle in the blink of an eye.

"It has been three years since the day of the fireworks display, and I am very happy that you still abide by our agreement, Shirayuki."

"Yes... yes!" The joy of being recognized by Chios completely overwhelmed the sadness of being teased before, and for a moment, the girl's voice could not help but raise a few notes in reply.

"For the day when I see you again, Baixue will always... keep working hard."

"Well, Baixue is a child who can do whatever she wants..."

He had just praised the eight-year-old Bai Xue, and the young man could already hear the voices of several adult women calling Bai Xue from the other end of the phone.

It seems that it is time to draw an end to this call.

"As long as we persist for seven more years, we will meet again. I know you will not let me down. I am looking forward to the day when Bai Xue wears her high school uniform."

"Yes, sir..."

Although he lacked experience in life, Bai Xue could hear a hint of parting from Chios' tone, and his mood quickly sank.

"Don't be so disappointed, little witch..." Chios couldn't hear the girl's obvious disappointment.

"I'm finally free for the last five days, and I'll take the initiative to call you as soon as time permits... So, don't be self-willed now. The witches should be looking for you very urgently. The Snow White I know is obedient good boy, isn't he?."

"Yes, yes, I will be obedient!"

Bai Xue, who thought that the reward for three years of persistence, only had such a short few minutes of talking, suddenly cheered up again.

Chapter 190: The Lost Phantom Thief

"Okay..." After hanging up the phone, the gentle smile on Chios' face froze like a switch, and he turned his face to the black-haired girl beside him and said:

"Let me get down to business."

Witnessing the rapid change in the young man's expression when he ended the call, Tifa didn't know what tone he should use to comment.

"It's really efficient..."

Considering that although they are companions, they are also independent executors at the same time, and they have no position to make irresponsible remarks on the means of completing tasks by others, so she just sighed a little and then focused her mind on the current task.

"Based on the information we prepared earlier, Riko's parents should have passed away at this point in time, and there should be no one in Luo Ping's house now. Do you plan to visit directly, or do you want to collect more information in the town?"

"There is plenty of time. Naturally, the more information you can get from the residents of the town, the better, and..." The words paused for a while, and then Chios walked along the beach towards the town of Etretta behind.

"Asamushi Fireworks Festival was busy with tasks that day, and I couldn't eat a proper meal after noon. I think you should be the same as me, and you are a little hungry, right?"

After he said this, Tifa realized that she hadn't eaten for almost eight hours.

Once she realized this, the hunger she had neglected before came to her heart as if it had accumulated.

"Yeah" nodded, and the girl quickly followed the young man's footsteps.

Looking across the storefronts in the town, most of the storefronts still have "Closing" signs.
