Why it never ends

Chapter 999 My Clan

The first attack started from Mercury Needle standing in front of Rico on the left. Rico realized that there was an ambush behind her before she dodged, so she just dodged backwards and stepped on the wall of the corridor to get around to the side of the enemy in front.

She stretched out her long arms in the air and pulled out the garlic clove from the other person's waist.

"Everyone calm down!" Pascal rushed between the two groups of people, "Isis! We are not dealing with barbarians now, why are you being so violent? Rico took a huge risk to send Sahame back tonight, are we going to repay her like this?"

"She's from over there!"

"What do you mean this side or that side? She didn't even say which side she was on. If everyone goes crazy like you, the people who were originally on our side will be pushed to that side!"

"Then ask her what she meant by that sentence just now!"

"What she meant was that she didn't want to get involved in these complicated matters. Her friend got into trouble tonight, so she was willing to rescue him at all costs. But if anyone wanted to take the opportunity to detain her or recruit her into the gang, that would be impossible!" Pascal turned around and looked at Rico, "Is that what you meant?"

"Yeah." Rico nodded repeatedly, "That's what I mean."

"No matter how nice the words are, she can't leave here tonight." Isis, whose weapon was robbed, said solemnly, "The coordinates here cannot be exposed - don't say that you brought an outsider in here without permission. When Sahame wakes up, I will still hold her responsible for revealing the address of the shelter!"

"…Is it really necessary to do this? She has already taken off her chip, so AHgAs can't track her here through positioning. Besides, it's so late today, and she is so anxious to follow the directions given by Sahame, she may not remember where we are."

All the mercury needles looked at Rico at the same time.

Isis: "Really? Do you remember the way from Emmanria to here?"

Li Ge was speechless for a moment. She always had a good sense of direction, not to mention that the moon was so bright tonight...

“…Ah, I don’t remember.”

"She remembers!" Isis became even more excited. "Don't say anything more. Today she must--"

In an instant, Eugene and Xiaosike rushed towards Isis at the same time, and they lifted Isis's left and right shoulders respectively, and threw her towards the other two mercury needles behind them at an amazing synchronization rate.

"Rico! Over there!"

Rico was stunned for a moment, and Pascal had already grabbed her hand and started running.

As she ran, Rico heard extremely angry quarrels and fighting sounds coming from behind her, while she held her friend's hand and quickly moved through the maze-like underground base.

"Isis and the others will definitely close all the entrances and exits. I'll take you another way!" Pascal's voice sounded very anxious. "But listen, the door will open soon, and we only have ten seconds to get back to the ground!"

Li Ge suddenly felt very motivated: "Okay!"

Pascal took Rico to a transmission tower. The vast underground space was full of neatly integrated pipes, which were neatly inlaid on the walls. Some huge tracks of unknown function ran through the entire field of vision. Rico's eyes swept over and found that there were a total of seven branch brackets on this track, but all of them were empty. She couldn't see what these things were used for.

"Rico, it's time!" Pascal quickly shook the shutter lock rod beside him, and a heavy metal door slowly rose up, revealing a narrow gap, "...Now!"

The two of them took a running start and sped up, passing through the area just before the iron gate fell.

Rico heard the sound of gears meshing and turning above her head. She did not slack off and followed Pascal closely. There were two rows of black metal handrails on the wall, leading from the ground to the ground. The two climbed up with their hands and feet. Pascal kept shouting a series of countdowns. When he counted to "two", she and Rico jumped out of the ground together. The cold moonlight sprinkled on them, and the night wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness. When they landed, the crack in the ground that they had just jumped over had closed tightly again.

"Let's go. I'll give you a ride." Pascal ran forward a few steps and waved to Rico, "Come on!"

Rico quickly followed.

"That's great!" Rico said with a smile, "When I came here just now, another friend of mine told me that someone placed chelates in Emanlia tonight, and said that Sahame was also involved. I don't believe you would do such a thing-"

Pascal's pace suddenly slowed down.

"We are Mercury Needle. How can Mercury Needle put chelate in a habitable area?" Rico said without noticing. "Not to mention you and Sahame. When we were on a mission before-"

"It's true, Rico."

Rico also stopped.

"I want to talk to you about this as well," Pascal said. "Maybe we don't have time to talk about it tonight, but I believe we can always find a chance to sit down and talk it over."

Li Ge's pupils suddenly shrank: "...Is it really you?"

"We can't coexist with the barbarians," Pascal looked into Rico's eyes. "If it weren't for the AHgAs forcing us to control us, we would have been free long ago... How could we have fallen to this point today?"

"Barbarians..." Li Ge's expression was a little confused. "Are you talking about the nobles in the habitable area?"

"It means all people who are not of my race, those who are susceptible to chelation disease."

"...Aren't they just ordinary people?" Rico murmured in a low voice, "They are barbaric, then what are we? Civilized?"

"We are Milsotis," Pascal corrected with a smile.

"Rice...Rice what?"

"Mirsotis," Pascal said softly, "I have long been wondering why humans are the only human race in the genus Homo of the family Hominidae. There have been so many human races in the world - Homo rudolfensis, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo sibranos... but all of them have become extinct, leaving only the barbaric species hanging alone in the classification table of the genus Homo."

A cold and contemptuous expression appeared on Pascal's face.

"Because barbarians don't know how to share, respect, or be grateful... they only know how to conquer, and 'conquer' is the only language they understand. These people are best at destruction, so any civilization that reveals its weaknesses to them will inevitably be destroyed. When they are in an advantageous position, they preach that the strong will survive; when they are in an inferior position, they are obsessed with defeating the strong with the weak. There is nothing else in their civilization except victory and defeat... This civilization has lasted for four thousand years, and it is time for someone to take its place."

Rico stared at Pascal's face in amazement.

A few minutes ago, she was still touched by the warmth from the other's palm, but at this moment Pascal looked so strange.

At this moment, Rico felt as if he was back on Anna's cruise ship, with Pascal's face overlapping with Sister Agnes's - she could hear every word the person in front of her said clearly, but she couldn't understand it.
