Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

The wolf component Texas on the side seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation, and just maintained a mysterious look in the dark fog.

But in his heart, he always felt a little uneasy, perhaps because of the sneeze just now, or maybe something in his heart was telling him that something was wrong.

Or is it like danger is approaching? However, this thought flashed through the minds of the wolves. They are the beast masters, and there are not many things in this land that can really threaten them.

And no matter how good his relationship with the emperor is, he would never use those things, because once those things are used, a lot of chain reactions will occur.

The emperor certainly doesn't understand why he went to war with him just for one person.

Therefore, the Wolf Lord simply pushed his anxiety to the back of his mind and looked forward to the start of their new game with great anticipation.

Chapter 220: Syracuse

——————Longmen·Penguin Logistics·Garage——————

"So they are going to play a game?" Xiyue listened to the emperor's description and touched his chin. "It feels ridiculous, but also a little indifferent."

It is said that as a person who skipped the show in the past, Xiyue actually doesn’t know most of the previous plots of Arknights, including the so-called plot of the Syracuse people.

Xiyue knew that Texas had welcomed its own unique character here, bringing the game Arknights into an era of double happiness.

But what kind of plot is it about... Xiyue said to skip, skip, skip it all, I just know that I want to go on a killing spree.

And because of the serious problem of eating the well when drawing cards, Xiyue didn't even care about the plot at that time and didn't even read any analysis.

But today, after hearing the emperor's description of the so-called game of the Wolf Lord and his men, Xiyue felt a sneer in her heart for some reason.

I just don’t understand how the rules and order established by humans, or in other words, laws and society, can become a game. Aren’t they necessities that need to exist just to restrict something?

It is a so-called rule that can be changed if necessary, and even its version needs to be updated all the time, every minute and every second.

This has nothing to do with games. Games require strict and rigorous rules, which at least cannot be changed at any time.

Even though many games have so-called village rules, they are still within a general framework.

What is even more laughable is the Wolf Lord. Shouldn't he be a being that is independent of the world and outside the civilized order? Is it really necessary for him to follow the so-called rules of the human world to complete a game?

Especially in the world of Terra, beyond the mobile cities and some towns, is a world of savagery and wilderness.

In other words, one of the rules of all Terran civilizations is that victory or defeat is determined by fists, but the Wolf Lord does not use his own power as the Lord of Beasts, but instead condescends to participate in the power struggle of humans?

How should I put it, I always feel like something is weird.

"Everyone has their own way of killing boredom." The emperor held his cigar in his mouth, "But I also know what you are thinking. This is indeed a bit strange."

"Well, I have a question after that." Sora thought for a moment and raised his hand, "So we just talked so much, can anyone tell me where Texas is going?"

"I don't know." The emperor lit up his cigar. "Do you think I wouldn't let Xiyue open a portal and drop us all to our destination?"

"Is the distance between Iberia and Longmen closer than the distance between Longmen and Syracuse?"

"How is that possible?" Croissant waved his hands. "The distance between Iberia and Longmen is much longer."

"That's it." The emperor rolled his eyes. "Xiyue can go from Longmen to Iberia freely. If I knew where he got it, wouldn't I let him just throw us all over there?"

"First of all, let me correct you. My freedom of coming and going is limited to myself." Xiyue opened the car door. "My teleportation is due to the omnipresence of my water source. If I want to bring others, I still have to use props. If I have never been to that place, then I can't bring you with me."

"It's all the same, all the same." The emperor waved his hand, "So let's go to Syracuse first, then I will find out where they went."

——————Syracuse·The Wasteland——————

【Bang bang bang!!!】

Suddenly, several gunshots were heard in the quiet wilderness. Following the sound of the gunshots, one could see a penguin holding a heavy gun, facing a ferocious-looking wolf.

A little further away from the penguin confronting the wolf, four people stood in the distance and watched the scene in front of them quietly. It looked like the wolf was trying to kill the penguin, but was killed in return.

"By the way, what is that layer of black fog covering this place?" Croissant poked Xiyue, who was smiling beside him, and finally pointed at the layer of black fog in front of him, "Is it something, uh, power? Just like in novels, there are things that cover up reality."

"It's either power or special effects." Xiyue shook her head. "I don't feel anything special. Maybe it's something to maintain the mystery."

"Hmm." Kong stroked his chin and looked at the black fog that obscured everything in front of him, "By the way, what will the boss be talking about in there?

, will the wolf lord keep silent in order to protect his companions? "

Xiyue shrugged. The black fog that blocked Sora and Croissant's vision was useless to her. "From what I can see, the situation is developing well."

"Emperor, we didn't provoke you, did we?" A wolf dragged its body that was shot through and walked to the front of Dadi. The bullet holes all over its body showed how inhumane the emperor had just done to it.

However, the Wolf Lord did not care about this body, and it was just something he could repair easily. What made him a little strange was how could the land far away in Longmen suddenly come to him and even point a gun at him?

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm here to cause trouble for you." Dadi shook his hand, and the Peace in his hand was shot. Although this gun is usually only used to fire erasers, it does not mean that this thing really has no power.

"Then I should know why you are here." The Wolf Lord didn't care about the seemingly fatal gunshot wounds on his body. "Our game is indeed about to begin. I guess Zaro should be looking for his chess piece?"

[Bang!]

The emperor calmly shot the wolf lord in the head and said, "Since you know everything, why don't you be honest and tell the truth as soon as possible."

"Well, to be honest, I don't really want to tell you..." The Wolf Lord thought for a moment and shook his head, "After all, you will definitely support the pawn that Zha Luo found, and for me, it seems a bit too..."

Just as the Wolf Lord was about to continue speaking, he saw a woman, whom he originally thought was a follower, suddenly and silently appear behind the emperor.

Just when the Wolf Lord was about to say something, he suddenly fell down. But that was not what he thought. At that moment, he felt the gravity like the abyss pressing on him.

"To be honest, I'm not in such a good mood." Xiyue looked at the Wolf Lord, "So you'd better surrender quickly, do you understand what I mean?"

"You, you, how is it possible?!" The Wolf Lord lay on the ground, looking at Xiyue with a kind face, "Wait, I know you, you are the one before..."

Before the Wolf Lord could finish, the gravity on his body increased, and Xiyue's smile disappeared from his face: "Tell me what I want to know. I am not in a good mood."

"I remember the aura of that group of people." Xiyue waved towards the distance, "You and I have some relationship."

Following Xiyue's wave, Hong also passed through the black fog, came to Xiyue's side, and looked at the wolf king in front of him.

"You..." The Wolf Lord turned his eyes with difficulty and looked at Hong who appeared next to Xiyue. He also remembered Hong, but in a sense, he was still the one who facilitated the relationship between Hong and Xiyue.

"Looking at you, you should still remember?" Xiyue looked at the wolf lord who was pinned down by her water pressure, "So I said so much just to let you know one thing, don't let me turn the illusory water pressure on you into reality."

Xiyue looked at the silent Wolf Lord and smiled: "I know it's hard for you to die, and you are just a clone, but it's the same to me. For example, I guess being sealed is something you can't accept, right?"

"Zaro doesn't deserve this, does he? You're just playing a game."

"I see……"

——————Syracuse Volsine——————

At the entrance of an alley, Texas, wearing a mafia-style suit, was holding a pocky in his mouth, leaning against the wall, watching everything in front of him.

Nothing has changed. The scenery is still so familiar. Even though this is also a new mobile city, nothing has changed at all.

The family is still doing their "business", and the order in Syracuse is still maintained by guns. After all, nothing has changed here.

The weather today doesn't seem to be very good. It is drizzling and cold, and Texas has no intention of finding a place to shelter from the rain.

"..." Texas felt the wetness of his clothes and suddenly said, "It's wet everywhere."

"It's going to rain today. This is something I didn't expect." A well-dressed man walked over from the street. "That's why I've been waiting for a long time."

"…" Texas glanced at the person who came, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm just taking a look."

"Really?" Lertuso raised an eyebrow. "Well, Miss Texas, do you have any comments on the changes in your hometown?"

"Nothing has changed." Texas stood up. "Or are you referring to the new streets? Those aren't really new changes."

"They are something that has to appear, not a new change, and this outfit, I don't think it's a good idea."

Hearing Texas' words, Lertuso smiled and said, "This is the first gift the Bellone family gave you. I hope our tailor has not tarnished the former glory of the Texas family. You can accept it with peace of mind."

Texas looked at Lertuso: "If I'm not at ease, can I not have it?"

Leon Tuso smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I'm afraid not."

"Then I have to rest assured." Texas sighed. To be honest, if it weren't for the rainy day now, he would have quit smoking long ago. Now Texas really wants to take out a cigarette and have a smoke.

Finally, Texas' eyes regained their composure and looked at Leartuso: "What is my mission?"

Leontuso smiled and said, "It's very simple. Follow me into today's banquet, and then I will proudly announce to everyone that the eldest son of the Bellone family now has a guard who will inherit the name of Texas."

"Then you kill all the ambitious fools present, and the mission is over."

Texas flashed the sword under his cloak like Leartuso: "I don't mind doing it."

Lertuso shook his head with some regret: "If possible, I also hope to solve all problems so easily, and it would be better than a massacre like you."

"I'm more concerned about another thing. In fact, I've been preparing myself mentally since you came. But no matter how I try to convince myself, I understand one thing: the help that Texas can bring is probably much less than the trouble he causes."

"But like you just said, I can only take this dangerous card with peace of mind."

On a tall building not far away, a figure covered in black mist stared at everything happening below. He could hear their conversation.

But he didn't care, because their game had already begun, and he could feel that his expected friends had also entered the game.

Including that annoying penguin and those Penguin Logistics employees who are familiar with Texas. Although they are not under his control and may do many unexpected things, they will choose to help Texas, which is enough for Zaro.

However, he only sensed that Sakota, Kaster and Fengti had entered the city, but did not detect the figure of the emperor.

But it doesn’t matter, whether the emperor comes or not, this game is destined to be his victory.

"Are you happy?" Just when Zaro was secretly proud of himself, a hand was suddenly placed on Jiaro's neck, and at the same time a gentle female voice sounded.

"What?!" Zaro wanted to run immediately, but the hand grabbed his neck tightly. Then, the whole wolf was pulled backwards by the force transmitted by the hand, as if he fell into the drum of a running washing machine.

When Zaro came to his senses, the hand on his neck had disappeared, but Zaro did not dare to move, because he saw the person standing in front of him, but more importantly, Zaro heard the sound of waves gradually rising around him.

But the original noise in the waves gradually became calm, but this was more like the brief tranquility on the sea before the storm.

"Sir, I don't think our Wolf Lord has angered you, or are you still looking for trouble with us because of the wolf hunter you saved that year?"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zaro." Xiyue looked at Zaro with a smile, "Thanks to you for taking care of my Texas these days."

"Fuck!" With Xiyue's words, Zaro immediately understood what was going on. He had learned a little about his uncontrollable friends when he was in Longmen.

One of them was ignored by Zaro because he had not appeared in Longmen for a long time, but now it seems that this was a huge mistake.

"Mr. Zaro, really, you came all the way to Longmen without even saying hello. We didn't even have the chance to enjoy our meal..."

Before Xiyue could finish her talk, Zaro jumped over from behind. He dared to pull Texas over directly because he knew the emperor inside and out.

Neither of them had any way to do anything to the other. The most he could do was to help Texas find a place to fight, so he came and beat him up, and at most he could kill him or cripple him.

This doesn't matter to the beast masters. At most they can just find a place to resurrect.

But it's different on the other side. This emperor has obviously dragged a big daddy over to overturn the table, and he even runs away after making a fart. And the tone of the other party clearly shows that he is here to protect his child.

Chapter 221: Surrender, is it too quick?

Running is Zaro's only thought now. Their game has just begun and he doesn't want to be killed or sealed at this moment.

Or he might be suppressed at the bottom of the sea. The ocean is definitely capable of doing that, and then he won't have any fun for a very long time. As for how long, maybe it will be until the other party calms down?

Zaro looked back, only to find that Xiyue seemed to have been standing there, not caring about his escape or something else. It was not clear, but at least now...

Just when Zaro was still thinking, he suddenly seemed to have bumped into something, and the whole wolf fell on a glass curtain wall?

"What?" While Zaro was still confused, a big hand suddenly slapped the glass curtain wall outside, and then he saw a huge human face appear in his field of vision.

"Did I tell you to leave?" Xiyue was tossing the glass ball in her hand. "How could I let you go if I didn't have a backup plan?"

Afterwards, Zaro saw Xiyue pinching the crystal ball where he was. As Xiyue exerted force, the surrounding earth collapsed, and the sky or the crystal ball also shattered. With a sound of breaking glass, the world in front of Zaro completely shattered, and he temporarily lost consciousness.

When Zaro regained consciousness, he found himself still in the center of the glass ball: "Wait, sir, today we..."

"Hey, look what I saw?" Just when Zaro was about to beg for mercy, he heard the emperor's somewhat mean voice, "A wolf trapped in a glass ball?"

"It suits your temperament, Zaro. Being a wolf trapped in a fragile glass ball called society really suits your temperament."

"By the way, Xiyue, this is quite interesting." The emperor came over and looked at the glass landscape ball in Xiyue's hand. "Have you completely reproduced the surrounding landforms?"

"It's not complete, it's just something I made casually." Xiyue threw the glass ball to the emperor, "And this is just his spiritual body."

There was a soul chain wrapped around one of Xiyue's hands. The wolf lord in the glass ball was just a soul that she pulled out directly. But what was interesting was that this action was easier than Xiyue had imagined.

"Ha, that's exactly what I meant." The glass ball that Xiyue threw over from Dadi Street was finally played with by him with a hint of interest, shaking it a few times from time to time, looking at Zaro who was lying on his back due to the vibration.

"Emperor..." Zaro, who was inside the glass ball, looked at the emperor's big face outside, "What on earth are you..."

"So I found a good employee, right?" The emperor held the glass ball in his hand. "Oh, I never thought I could play with you like a ball."

And Zaro, who was inside the ball, looked at the penguin face of the emperor outside. He felt that the other person's face was very mean and he felt a little itchy.

[This is not a matter between the two of us, why do you want to...] Zaro used the beast masters' spiritual channel to accuse him. Why did they drag someone to overturn the table when they were just having a good game?

[You are not going to give me face, so why should I give you face? ] The emperor spitted at Zaro without hesitation. The face between them was just a joke. The degree of familiarity between them was very limited.

Not to mention the beginning of this matter, it was because Zha Luo directly kidnapped his good employee without even saying hello to him. Since Zha Luo was not going to give him face, then there was no need for him to give Zha Luo face.

Originally, if Zaroken came over and had a conversation with him in a nice tone, that would not be a problem. After all, it was Texas that reached a contract with the other party first.
