The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

Looking at the girl who was still on guard in front of her, Abrana chuckled softly:

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, and I don't want to explore where your Origin Stone skills come from...but I think that in this time of crisis, we should join forces to help those compatriots who are still suffering."

The girl's eyes began to look a little hesitant... After all, the words spoken by the two-horned girl in front of her and the power she showed seemed to be enough to prove the other party's goodwill.

Seeing that the girl was still hesitating, Abrana struck a chord while the iron was hot:

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if you don't want to tell your name... Well, I want to call you by your code name, okay?"

The girl remained silent.

Abrana, on the other hand, interpreted the girl's silence as acquiescence.

"You can call me Abrana, that's my name...and I'll call you Mandela, okay?"

"……it is good."

The girl took Abrana's outstretched hand.

Abrana couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Why did the girl who was cold to him before suddenly become enthusiastic towards him?

Abrana saw it clearly. When she finished saying the code name Mandela, the girl's eyes, which were originally tired, suddenly became energetic again.

It was as if...she suddenly found hope.

……

Time goes back to the present.

Late at night, Mandela was suddenly awakened from his sleep in the temporary base established in the deep pond of the agricultural land in Xiaoqiu County.

She dreamed again of the time when she first met Capt.

"...will we meet again eventually?"

Mandela murmured, then buried her head again in the worn pillow with sudden annoyance.

"Reunion is a piece of shit!"

Mandela still couldn't forget that when she went to see Capt for the first time, she was stopped outside the company by the security guard because she didn't have an appointment.

Obviously Capt's Origin Stone skills should be able to see her!

Capt must have done it on purpose!

Chapter 2 Capt: It was not fate that chose me, but I chose fate

"Damian, my cousin, you are still alive! I thought I would never see you again..."

"All this is thanks to a leader in Shenchi. If she hadn't taken action, I would have died in the hands of those Victoria lackeys... Saoirse, don't worry, the good days of us Tara people are coming soon! "

"..."

"With the arrival of the Deep Pool, good days will come for us Tara people!"

"...You are still planning those dangerous things."

"That's not a dangerous thing. If damn Victoria hadn't forced us to this point... Saoirse, my dearest cousin, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?"

"I don't want my friend to get hurt, and she is my best friend... She is still a good person. I am also a good person, right? My mom, dad, and my cousin... aren't they all good people? ?”

"That honor guard of Victoria? That Vaifan named Jane... Saoirse, you have to figure it out, you are a Tara, and she is Victoria's lackey!"

"..."

"Those Victoria soldiers are evil. Aren't the things they have done to us over the years proof enough?! They just want to drive us out of this city, which originally belongs to us Tara people." City!"

"...I have already told my friend about tonight's party."

"...What?! Saoirse, how dare you?!"

"I just don't want to see my relatives and friends being 'sacrificed' one by one by Shenchi! I just want a peaceful life, and I don't want to see important people die again!"

"...Saoirse!"

"I used to think this was to make everyone safer...I didn't know you were planning such a terrible thing until I just heard the editor-in-chief's communication..."

"Saoirse, you will kill us!"

"But Damian! Tell me, what kind of life did we live before the deep pool appeared!"

"...a life worse than death."

"But although the life we ​​lived before was bitter, at least we didn't have to worry about our lives... But all this changed after the soldiers in the deep pool appeared and they wreaked havoc in various places in Victoria in the name of Tara. You are now "Look outside and there's fighting everywhere, the city is like a powder keg ready to explode, and the deep pools will bring death and war to our home."

"Shut up! Saoirse... I don't have a weak cousin like you! You have deeply hurt the trust that our compatriots have in you!"

"Trust... From beginning to end, I was just responsible for delivering some messages. A few notes stuck in a book, one or two secret codes hidden in the miscellaneous column of Xiaoqiu Evening News... And I originally thought that everything I did was It’s for our safety! But Shenchi wants my relatives to bleed!”

"..."

"Tell me, are you prepared to shed the blood of those innocent Victorians whom we have never met, or who sympathize with what we have suffered?"

"No Victorian is innocent and they are all in the same boat when they stand by and watch what happened to Tara while they enjoy the wealth we have created with our blood and sweat... Huh! Saoirse Carey, run away, I don't have time Deal with it you weak surrenderer, but I have to tell the leader about this.”

"..."

"And the leader will not let any traitor go...so hurry up and get out! There is no place for traitors in this city!"

……

At noon the next day, Baron Bolton paced back and forth nervously in a room in his property at the junction of the [-]th and [-]th arrondissements in Hill County.

Xiaoqiu County is divided into many areas. Nobles and wealthy businessmen have always been unwilling to live in the same area with common people...the dirty and messy living environment is undoubtedly not in line with their status.

Even though most Tara people are regarded as low-class people, scoundrels, illiterate people, and cheap labor, there are still nobles and merchants among them.

Even though these merchants and nobles from Tara were also inferior to other Victorian merchants and nobles, it did not prevent them from looking down on their compatriots who had no wealth and power.

……

Baron Bolton was also a nobleman born in Tara, but a mere baron would not dare to plan such a big thing.

But Baron Bolton happened to know some details about the people he was working with.

The leader of the Deep Pool is a guest of Victoria's Iron Duke, the Duke of Wellington.

Since Shenchi came to represent the Duke's will at this time, then as a little baron, he naturally needed to stand in line.

Since the death of Victoria's old King Aslan, the dukes who are ready to move no longer have much time and patience to wait for other nobles to take sides.

The vacillating outsiders will only be eliminated by the Dukes tacitly before the war officially begins.

"... Phew, but this time even the [boss] of the Capte Group chose to side with the Iron Duke, so it seems that I am on the right side this time."

Baron Bolton looked out the window anxiously.

There were less than a few hours until the dinner party started.

……

In the street, the Rhode Island elite operator Outcast, who had just noticed something was wrong from the suspicious Victoria garrison, pressed his cowboy hat with his right hand and whispered softly with his back to the seemingly deserted alley.

"...Come out, miss, it's not a ladylike thing to follow others secretly~"

"..."

No one responded.

But outcast is very sure that someone is following him behind his back.

Not the previous group of poor-acting locals, nor the suspicious Victoria garrison, but another existence.

outcast once noticed that faint aura when Capt visited the Rhode Island office in Xiaoqiu County.

She finished the donut on her left hand in three bites, then turned around to face the alley that still seemed empty.

"I think there should be nothing wrong with that batch of drugs, but why does the Captor Group still send you to track me? Could it be that the shipment from Rhode Island made you, the Captor Group, feel that it was not worth the money? ?”

As outcast's words became more and more obviously specific, Manticore, who had been hiding all this time, finally revealed his figure.

Although Manticore's Origin Stone skills usually operate automatically, so her presence is not too high, but once she concentrates on controlling it, she can make herself more difficult to detect.

Manticore was surprised that the Rutland man wearing a cowboy hat opposite him could actually see him.

Manticore has assassinated many targets of the Capte Group. There are many strong people with keen observation around them, but there are very few people among them who can directly see Manticore.

And even if they do, they will end up hating why they have to be so observant.

Manticore is not as bloodthirsty as some of the thorny ones in the Capte Group [Debt Collectors]. She often only takes the life of her target.

But if it is discovered and becomes an obstacle to completing the task, Leo will never show mercy.

After all, she couldn't let Capt down.

……

As a former Cardinal of Rutland, Outcast's observation skills are second to none in the entire land.

At that time, she was at the Rhode Island Consulate in Xiaoqiu County. Her attention was entirely focused on the young boss with squinted eyes, so she didn't notice the manticore at that time.

But once no one is holding most of her attention, it's still possible to notice Manticore.

Manticore's Origin Stone skills can only be considered excellent after all.

Outcast looked curiously at the Manticore woman wearing a black veil in front of him.

"Did [Boss] send you here? Are you an armed member of the [Good Man Lives Safely] security company, a [debt collector] not affiliated with any subsidiary of Capte Group, or a [market research team] Spy, or..."

Outcast's hand touched his waist, where he found the guardian gun that looked like a revolver.

"Those employees who only exist in rumors and do not exist in Capte Group - [Nodes]?"

Hearing the word [node], Manticore's pupils shrank.

"...Who are you?"

Manticore, who originally only followed Capt's instructions and planned to change from sneaky tracking to honest tracking, felt a trace of murderous intent towards the Rutlan man in front of him who seemed to be difficult to deal with.

Capte Group has always paid attention to protecting its own privacy. After all, in today's business, whoever has more information will make more money.

Even if there are actually countless spies within the Capt Group, either from hostile companies, or from violent organizations from various countries... there is no way, after all, the Capt Group is still a business group at its core.

Its screening mechanism cannot weed out those with evil intentions.

But even so, due to the unique operating mechanism of the Capte Group, it is difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture.

The [Secretary] who is responsible for the operation of the Capte Group in Colombia is unable to know the specific revenue of a convenience store owned by the Capte Group in Sargon.

[Secretaries] can communicate with each other, but they must have sufficient reasons to convince [Boss].

……

But even so, the information about [Node] should also be one of the secrets of the Capte Group that should not be discovered by the outside world.

At least, the other party knows this name, which means that the other party is by no means an ordinary person.

Because [Node] is the boss’s tool to [control destiny].

Just like [Sarkaz] is to [Sarkaz Prophecy].

……

"Don't be so nervous, this unknown Miss Mantico... As a behemoth that can spread all over the country, the Captor Group will certainly attract a lot of people's attention."

Seeing Manticore's alert behavior, Outcast's hand still didn't leave the gun.

"Since even one of the members of the Capte Group [Invisible Hand], known as [Node], has arrived in Xiaoqiu County, it seems that the city is really about to be in trouble... Friends, why can’t we sit down and have a good talk at the dessert shop on the street? Your boss won’t go to war over a Rutland man who is about to retire, right?”

Outcast still had one hand on the gun, and the other hand pointed at the dessert shop on the street.

She was unwilling to conflict with the Captor Group, and she also wanted to know the purpose of the young film boss in sending the Mantico killer.

Manticore hesitated, then finally nodded.

Since the other party seems to have misunderstood something, and his understanding of [Node] is also full of loopholes, then there is no need for him to take action.

[Boss] asked her not to conflict with the other party or hinder the other party's actions, just to observe the other party.

If discovered, decide whether you need to retreat based on the situation.

Since the other party invites her to sit in the dessert shop, Leo can just follow the other party... Anyway, she is confident enough to get out of it.

Although the opponent seemed to be able to do it with ease, the years would eventually leave their mark on the Rutland man.
