old dream

Chapter 177 After the Mask
The identity of "Lieutenant" has been impeccably managed.Even if it was as strong as the Ninth Branch, it couldn't take off this mask.

It's a pity, just like a glass Rupert's tear, even if the front of the teardrop is strong enough to resist bullets, it only needs to apply a few grams of pressure to its tail to make the whole glass teardrop explode instantly and turn into powder.

It may be difficult to find out who is behind the mask.

But it is very easy to find out what mask a person may be wearing.

Because of his uncle, Marizio gave himself extra attention.Maybe from that moment on, I have already lost half of it.

Colin didn't say a word, and looked at Marizio under the statue with a gloomy expression.

And Julie couldn't help standing up:

"Uncle Marizio, do you mean to say..."

"sit down."

The big boss with five hands sat still and said in a deep voice.

Julie was at a loss for a moment, and then, she suddenly realized something.

In this small church, even if he is the patriarch of Capello, he is no longer qualified to speak.

Because, if Marizio's speculation is true, then tonight will be the first meeting between the two giants of the Old Town and South Stadt.

Marizio, is the actual ruler of the Sindhi area.

And Colin is the owner of the Stade Institute.

Despite the huge age difference between the two, even a few minutes ago, Colin was only a small "assistant".But now, their identities are equal.

This conversation is not public, but it is actually higher than the five-handed patriarchal meeting.

And full of murderous intent.

Marizio deliberately kept a distance, and gunmen began to probe the room on the second floor of the chapel.Hearing footsteps, some people gathered outside the side door.

The faint sound of loading was like raindrops falling, forming a continuous piece.

Marizio probably didn't want the content of the conversation to flow out, so the gunman was not arranged nearby.But as long as he sends out a certain signal, he and Colin will be shot through by countless bullets.

Julieo hesitated for a while, then slowly sat back in her seat.

Colin also let go of the restrictions on intentions, and the hearth in his deep consciousness began to operate quietly.

His hand brushed the handle of the dagger inadvertently, and the vajra technique had been activated.

"How did Alessio die?" Marizio asked in a deep voice.

"That person? He's going to take Julieo away."

Colin looked away from Marizio, "Big Boss" was just an ordinary person, not a threat tactically.He looked back to the end of the last row of seats, where the curtains were drawn into an inconspicuous shadow:

"I don't think anyone wants to see that kind of outcome."

"Because of you, you still want her to be the successor of Lantern Girl."

When speaking of the second half of the sentence, Colin deliberately raised his volume.In order to tell the fourth person present, he noticed the other party.

People who come from afar from "home".

"..."

Colin didn't hide anymore, so the fourth person also raised his lowered head. "His" eyes were empty, but in the deepest part of his pupils, there seemed to be two faint flames.

Colin frowned, the feeling of inhumanity from "him" was stronger than that of Mr. No. [-] before.

The reason for using "he" is that there is no way to determine the gender of the person.But no matter by any standard, "he" is extremely beautiful, with a bright red mouth that is deeply sunken, and there is an indescribable and uncapturable abundance in his facial features.

"...a person who is willing to breed devils."

"He" seemed to be able to see the depths of Ke Lin's heart shell, and said in a half-male, half-female voice that didn't look weird: "Obviously there is Cincily's blood, but he has fallen into the inhuman realm."

This is the first time that someone has seen through Colin's cover-up for the Transcendent other than using a detection device.

As a light keeper, I'm afraid "he" is stronger than Mr. One.But most Lantern Keepers are not good at fighting, especially if the Lantern Maiden strays from her position.

"His" strength should also be weakening, but during the time when his ability was slowly draining, he found his own identity.

Both of them are deliberately keeping a distance from themselves, which means that they are also afraid.

Colin felt a little strange.

First of all, they may not be sure to kill themselves, and secondly, even if they can do this, they will not get any benefits.

If the Caruso family cannot be restored, then the death of "Lieutenant" will only become the wedding dress of other patriarchs.

The words of the lampkeeper only represent the will of his hometown, not Marizio.The big boss is actually not interested in that kind of morality.

"And you need Julio to become Capello's patriarch to do the initial cover for you."

Marizio put his fingers together and nodded slightly. After adding this detail, the context of the whole story has been outlined.

At the beginning, Julio suggested that Capello should become a "police detective" with five hands to clean himself up. He thought it was just to protect the family and break up with the corrupt department.But I didn't expect that there was a deeper intention behind this surface.

But regardless of whether Colin D'Allozzo is behind the scenes or not, the fact that Julieo dares to agree to such a cooperation proves that she has amazing courage and wisdom.

Nevio, an old friend of mine, indeed had a wonderful daughter.

pity.

I don't know what Marizio thought of, he shook his head and laughed, the laughter was a bit dry and desolate, like dead branches rubbing against each other.

Colin didn't ask him why he was laughing, but continued to look at the old man, waiting for him to restrain himself.

"Excuse me, excuse me. Cough, cough cough..."

After a while, Marizio's laughter subsided, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from his laughter, because he was coughing continuously due to laryngitis.

"I just thought of those Ankh soldiers, if they saw that their lieutenant had a Sindhi face... what a funny expression they would make..."

He couldn't help laughing again:
"...and the extent of the anger."

"Dallozzo's boy." Marizio said with a sigh, "Actually, you can't be a real 'Lieutenant'."

Unless you let "Colin" die forever, and don't take off that mask to anyone.

"Maybe you'll get some money in the end, and that's the best ending. Everything 'The Lieutenant' builds will have nothing to do with you in the end."

Because it is impossible for them to allow a Sincilian to become their leader.

"But you completely released a monster from its cage." Marizio said.

Lieutenant Heinrich, a symbol representing anger and revenge.

"Remember the lady holding the box just now?"

His voice softened, and he continued:
"In that box are the ashes of her son. They are Sincilians living in the old city. A week ago, her son was hanged to death in an alley."

"There were dozens of wounds on the body, six fingers were missing from both hands, and the left leg was roasted. Those people drained his blood like an animal."

"The people who do it are the so-called 'Ankh supremacists'. Some unemployed soldiers formed such a group a few years ago. Now, they have finally found their true spiritual idol."

Colin stood up abruptly:

"What did you say?!"

"They wore burn masks, got guns from somewhere, and vowed to take back what was lost from the migrants," Marizio said:

"In the past week, forty migrants have been massacred in the Old City."

"I've never heard of such a thing!" said Colin:

"Nor have I ever provoked their wrath against the Sincilians..."

Colin was hoarse because he realized that how others interpret the information represented by a mask has nothing to do with the person behind the mask.

"You have people who are funding them, or are directly involved," Marizio said. "Riots that are left unattended in the dark of night ... are still spreading to South Stade."

Thinking of the fanatical and respectful eyes of his subordinates, Ke Lin suddenly shuddered.Ironically, he himself, along with all his family and friends, will be targeted by those fanatical hunters.

"Stade has [-] soldiers who came back from Nale." Colin muttered to himself.

Here are some of the numbers he looked up when building the organization.Of the 5000 people, perhaps more than half have lost their jobs because of immigration.

And the "Lieutenant" not only dropped the first ray of sparks, but also handed them guns and money.

Colin calmed down a little and said:
"If things really got out of hand, I could always kill the lieutenant."

Abandoning this layer of identity, but immediately, he realized how powerless this approach was.

"Heinrich has become a ghost." Marizio said softly:

"A horribly xenophobic specter of 5000 people."

And Ke Lin's "true body" is just one of thousands of actors.Because no one knows the lieutenant's true face, so...

Anyone can be a lieutenant.
