Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

Although it was only one day earlier, it caused a lot of changes in the plan. Hongxue and Arturo also had a lot of tasks to do, and Skadi and Ghost Shark on the other side were similar. However, their tasks were more special, and even two deep-sea hunters could not accomplish it, so they needed to talk to Tolan.

When he heard that the plan was advanced, Tolan, who always had a smirk on his face, couldn't help but look embarrassed, but since Roya did this, there must be a reason for it. This is an important lesson that Tolan has learned from getting along with Roya during this period.

"One day in advance? This is really embarrassing. After all, the things he wants are not something that can be taken away casually."

"It's okay. Luo Ya said he has a way to handle that part. You just need to make sure you can get the confidential information of those business association companies. As for this... leave it to us."

As he spoke, Skadi straightened his hat and glanced around. The crude mechanical device was operating slowly and gently. Although this was not the core part of the entire Grand Knight Territory, it was also a vital part, like an arm.

Of course it was impossible for the Chamber of Commerce and the Helmetless Alliance to find the Leithanians. After all, there were no such things as VIPs of Leithania. Tolan and his men had already started their infiltration work when they first entered the city, and had infiltrated the engineering team responsible for the maintenance of the underlying structure. The Helmetless Alliance was already very busy, and with the help of internal personnel from the Supervisory Commission to cover up, this was certainly not a problem.

"Well, let me see how he is going to steal this piece of fat meat from under the noses of the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Commission."

Since Skadi said so, all Tolan could do was to trust them. He had seen a small part of Skadi's power, so at least it would be no problem to demolish this place. And Tolan should fulfill his promise and get what he promised to give to Roya.

Ghost Shark did not participate in the conversation, but was curiously playing with her new weapon, a long-handled circular saw. She liked the sharp teeth and the weapon was also very smooth to use.

"It's just too light. Well, the materials made by the land people are quite acceptable."

Putting the circular saw aside, Ghost Shark looked at Skadi.

"When will we do it?"

"Eight o'clock. This is about the time that Roya plans to take action."

Skadi sat on the ground with a sword in her hand, quietly waiting for that moment to come with Ghost Shark. Tonight was destined to be unfair, and something big was about to happen.

Chapter 186 Let's burn this city to ashes!

The sun in Casimir's spring is always lazy. It gets up reluctantly in the morning and leaves in a hurry and lazily in the afternoon. It is always so fast from sunrise to sunset. When people react, it is already close to sunset and the night quietly covers the sky.

In the Marigold Opera House, the administrator in charge of the opera house looked at his companion in front of him.

"Are you sure?"

"We are 70% sure. According to information from the Supervisory Commission, the one who kidnapped the young lady seems to be another force from Leitania, and they are currently in the lower structure area."

After hearing the news, the opera house administrators thought for a while. They were the most anxious about Viviana's disappearance, not to mention that Viviana disappeared near the Marigold Opera House. It was really a dereliction of duty for the guards.

"Captain, if we act rashly like this, it will cause quite a stir."

This was something that had to be considered. Originally, the group had been tacitly allowed by Ioletta not to cause trouble, but if they acted rashly now, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Chamber of Commerce. In order not to implicate Viviana and Ioletta, or even worse, be targeted by the Supervisory Commission and the Chamber of Commerce and use this as an excuse to attack Leitania, then all the group could do was to quickly leave the Territory of the Grand Knights.

But if they don't go to rescue Viviana, then what's the point of keeping these guards? Are they worthy of the trust of Elector Shi Tongling?

"Miss Viviana must be rescued. Afterwards, we must leave Casimir as quickly as possible and not leave any evidence behind. If anyone is caught, the rest of the survivors will help take care of his family."

"Captain, what are you talking about? We all came here together, so of course we have to leave together. No one can be left behind. We still want to see your one-year-old daughter. The last time we went back for leave to visit our family, it was only three days. From now on, we can stay at home with peace of mind."

"That's right, don't say such unlucky words, Captain, let's do it."

Hearing what his brothers said, the theater manager clenched his fists and made up his mind.

"Everyone check your equipment. We will be moving at 7:50. After rescuing the young lady, leave as quickly as possible."

Seven fifty, or eight o'clock to be more precise. After spending more than ten years in Casimir, everyone knew that at eight o'clock the engineering teams of the underlying structures would basically finish their work, leaving only a small number of people to check whether there were any faults in the city's operating systems. That would be the best time to act.

On the other side, sitting by the window in a traditional Minoan restaurant, Dikaiopolis, who was eating and thinking that the taste was quite different from that in his hometown, suddenly caught a glimpse of a pink figure standing across the street with an ice cream in her hand. It was Hong Xue, and her appearance and the ice cream were both pre-arranged signals.

(Action tonight?)

Suppressing the doubts and surprise in his heart, Dikaiopolis adjusted his facial expression in an instant, as if he had eaten some traditional Victorian food, which surprised Charne who was sitting opposite him.

"What's wrong? It's not tasty?"

“It’s not bad, but it’s very different from what I remembered.”

"Haha, after all, once dishes leave their place of origin, they become all kinds of different. A few days ago, tourists from Dayan complained about a restaurant, thinking that the strawberry mapo tofu dumplings they were selling were a provocation to them."

As Charne spoke, he glanced out the window, but Hongxue had already blended into the crowd, so he didn't see anything. He could only conclude that he was overthinking. However, he never expected that Dikaiopolis could actually advance to the official competition under Luoya. Most likely, it was the Chamber of Commerce that gave a nod, but this time it could ensure that Dikaiopolis's championship status would be unshakable.

"The Casimirs probably wouldn't accept eating pickles and coriander together."

"This is indeed..."

The two people in the restaurant were chatting casually. Hongxue, who was in the crowd, saw Dikaiopolis make a gesture with his hand under the table to show that he understood, and then she left while eating ice cream. Arturo was still tuning her cello, and she just responded to those curious eyes with a smile. She was only listening to Roya now.

Hong Xue ate ice cream and sat next to Arturo, pounding her legs. She was also very tired today.

"Hiss... I've been taking them for a walk for several hours, and my feet are a little sore."

"Then you can take a taxi to Lin Guang's house and wait there. I'll go pick up Luo Ya first."

"No way." Hong Xue stood up. "I did escape for a few days and nights at the beginning. This is nothing."

"Let's go then, the time is almost here."

Looking at the setting sun, Hongxue and Arturo have completed their mission, and the next step is to go to Roya to help.

In the room of Lin Guang's house, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Cyril's face, making his complexion look a little rosy. Although he could no longer see anything, at least he could still feel the light of the setting sun, Cyril said in a hoarse voice.

"It's sunset...Maria, are you there?"

"I'm here Grandpa, is there anything I can do?"

Maria has always been by her grandfather's side. Except for asking Viviana to take her place during meals, she never leaves his side. Who would have thought that this mature and sensible girl is not even an adult yet.

"Go, call your uncle, and...ah, Ioletta."

Cyril's words were light, but they were as heavy as a huge rock hitting Maria's heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She understood what it meant, but could only hold back her sadness and tears.

"Mr. Luo Ya...don't you need it?"

"He will come."

Cyril closed his eyes gently, believing it so firmly. Then he heard the countdown in his mind, and his slow brain remembered the most important thing.

"Child, come here, I have something to ask of you."

"Grandfather, please tell me."

Maria had anticipated the arrival of this day. She found herself stronger than expected, or not as sad as she had imagined, and walked to Cyril's bedside.

"This is for you. Pass it on to... Teacher Luo Ya."

Cyril's dry left hand slowly moved out from the quilt, then spread out his hand. A crystal coin lay quietly in the palm of his hand. The golden coin was engraved with the symbol of Casimir. Maria picked it up carefully and found the emblem of the Linguang family on the back.

"This book belongs to him... You must get it in your own hands... Don't tell anyone else..."

"I will definitely pass it on to Mr. Luo Ya. Grandfather, please stop talking. I'll call my uncle to come back!"

Maria quickly put away the coin and left Cyril's room in a panic. Cyril finally could no longer hear the cold countdown of his death, because he was already dead, but because he held the coin tightly when he died, he was able to continue his life for a while.

[This is for you. What is it for? Who knows? I just want to see what it can become. I also hope to see you again in the future.]

Thinking about this now, Cyril gradually understood what Roya meant by that. He could feel that his body was aging at an accelerated rate and death had already embraced him, but relying on the power accumulated from the coin, he could still hold on for a while, and a while was enough.

..............................

In the Ferris wheel cabin of the World Amusement Park, Luo Ya, who had just sat down, felt the temperature drop and subconsciously calculated the time.

"Is the sun going down?"

"It has already set. How strange. Just now it seemed like there was still a while before sunset. Hmm...it's already half past seven?"

Bai Jin leaned comfortably beside Luo Ya. She had eaten her fill today and really didn't want to move. She glanced at the time and felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Seven thirty... shouldn't it be seven?"

"No, it's half past seven."

Seeing that Bai Jin answered confidently, Luo Ya frowned instead. He couldn't see the clock, so his timer was the countdown of his life in his mind. However, according to his reverse calculation using the timer, it should only be seven o'clock now, but Bai Jin said half an hour more. Why?

There was no time to think too much. If it was really 7:30, then there wouldn't be much time left according to the plan. At this time, the workers in the bottom structure area had basically left one after another. As for the remaining workers, there was no need to worry about them being accidentally injured unless they were as blind as me.

"Maybe I remembered it wrongly."

Luo Ya leaned gently on the seat, put the sword beside him, and felt the Ferris wheel slowly turning.

"I heard that it is a very happy thing to sit on the Ferris wheel and enjoy the night view at night. Is it beautiful?"

"We have to wait until it rises to a certain height. This is also my first time sitting here to watch the night view. I am looking forward to it."

As a sniper killer, Platinum often stood on high places, and he had stood at a place higher than this Ferris wheel before, but the feeling then was completely different from that now. Luo Ya heard another meaning.

"Haven't been here before?"

"I rode the Ferris wheel once with my parents when I was a kid, but I haven't ridden it since I grew up. After all, other people were either friends or couples. I felt so embarrassed riding the Ferris wheel alone."

As an ordinary girl in life, Bai Jin also cares a lot about what others think of her. It is impossible for her to do something like riding a Ferris wheel alone.

"Then what is our relationship like, the observer and the observed?"

“We are indeed rare.”

Bai Jin thought about it and realized that when he and Luo Ya were queuing, the people around them looked at him with envy. Most of them thought Luo Ya was her boyfriend. Although he was not the kind of handsome guy who would attract attention at first glance, Luo Ya's temperament was really impeccable and he was also very good-looking. If you look at him for a long time, you might even become addicted to him. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a feast for the eyes.

"Are we a couple?"

Subconsciously speaking these words, Bai Jin immediately wanted to slap himself in the face and withdraw the message. Is this something he can say? Fortunately, Luo Ya did not take Bai Jin's casual words seriously, but just smiled and shook his head.

"Not really. We haven't known each other for long, and there hasn't been anything that actually strengthened our relationship. It's just that you and I get along well, so we can be considered friends."

The calmer Luo Ya was, the more uneasy Bai Jin felt. It wasn't that she liked Luo Ya, but she felt too relaxed with him. She accidentally said everything she was thinking. Fortunately, Luo Ya didn't care.

"I was just talking nonsense, don't mind it."

"I know. How long does it take for this Ferris wheel to go around once?"

"Yeah, about half an hour."

Bai Jin looked outside. Compared to the lazy sun that was in a hurry to go off work, the diligent stars and moon had already made the night of the whole city very rich. The neon colors of the city were so dreamy, but Luo Ya could not see it.

Thinking of this, Bai Jin was actually a little touched. Even though Luo Ya couldn't see anything, he still smiled and nodded in agreement when she suggested riding the Ferris wheel, as if he didn't care about his feelings at all.

"Half an hour... is very slow, but it's better to slow down a bit. If you are too anxious, you won't be able to accomplish anything. If you live too fast, you will always feel tired. It's time to slow down and relax."

Listening to Luo Ya's words, Bai Jin had an indescribable strange feeling. He thought it was not good for him to be the only one who could see the scenery.

"Want me to tell you what it's like out there?"

"Emm... Tell me about today's starry sky. I remember the weather seems to be pretty good today."

The weather today was really good. Bai Jin raised her head and saw the brilliant stars and moon through the skylight on the top of the cockpit. Suddenly, she realized a problem. How many years had it been since she looked up at the stars like this?

It seemed that since she came to this city, she had never noticed that the starry sky above her head was actually more brilliant than this city.

"How about it?"

"It's beautiful, but the city lights are too bright, which affects the viewing experience. Do you like looking at the stars?"

Bai Jin sat beside Luo Ya and gazed at the starry sky. He felt that the city night view that he had long been accustomed to was so unremarkable. He thought about finding a chance to take a vacation and find a place to look at the stars.

"I guess I like it. Even though the starry sky of Terra is full of unreasonable things, it is one of the few places that is similar to my hometown."

"unreasonable?"

Facing Platinum's doubts, Roya just shook his head casually to indicate that there was nothing to say. From the moment he opened his eyes in the alley of Chernobyl, he knew that he could not go back. He had observed the starry sky of Terra and subconsciously felt that the distribution of these stars was unreasonable, as if they were randomly arranged to please people.

However, for the Terrans who don’t even know that there is a planet beneath their feet, most people cannot understand the concept of the starry sky.

"I still remember when I was very young, I made a living by clearing factory chimneys. One time, when I climbed out of the chimney pipe and stood on the top of the chimney and looked up, I felt that I was the person closest to the stars in the world... From that time on, I fell in love with the starry sky."

"…Did you do these as a kid?"

Bai Jin didn't quite believe what Roya said. Although Roya looked very young, he was Cyril's mentor, a real old man. She couldn't imagine that Roya would have such an experience. It must have been many years ago.

"I did a lot of things when I was a kid, many of which were wrong. Now I can't see anything, which is also a punishment... By the way, Platinum, as an archer, your eyesight should be pretty good, right?"

"Of course. My ancestors are also descendants of the Pegasus Gods. Our family is known for its archery skills, so I can naturally see very far..."

As if he had thought of something, Bai Jin sat down beside Luo Ya with a look of disappointment, completely lacking the joy he had just shown.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, but my parents once told me that I have a pair of Pegasus eyes. But if they knew that their daughter became a member of the No-Head Alliance... they might cut off all ties with me."

"Don't want to stay in the Wuzhou League anymore?"

Luo Ya pointed out Platinum's thoughts very bluntly. She chose to remain silent, but silence itself was the best answer. Although being the Platinum Lord could bring many benefits, Platinum already hated this kind of life. As the Platinum Lord, she was just a chess piece that could be sacrificed at any time. The tasks assigned by her superiors had gradually begun to make her feel unhappy. When her master was around, at least she would not be allowed to kill innocent people. But now...from the incident with Viviana this time, it can be seen that she, a Platinum Lord, might die at the hands of her own people at any time.
