Chapter 334: The Bloody Collection X(1/2)
Chapter 334: Bloody Closure
Upper Kyoto Metropolitan Area, Adjudication Division Headquarters.
In the square black building, an old man wearing a custom-made black formal suit with silver hair looked very energetic. His face without much emotion was full of the kindness and gentleness of an elderly man. He stood facing the bright sunshine and outdoor garden.
In front of the conference room window.
In this boxy, coffin-like black building, this conference room may be one of the few that can enjoy such light.
Gru Wiseman.
He sat as the first adjudicator of the Beijing Adjudication Department.
He has never personally taken action in decades, but he is known to everyone as the real person in charge of the Judgment Division. Even the mere mention of his name is enough to make the hearts of prominent dignitaries in countless countries tremble.
At this moment, the old man stood in front of the blinds in the conference room and raised his hand to pull the rope. As the angle of the blades changed, a large area of sunlight was blocked out of the window, leaving only a ray of light refracted through the gap.
There was a soft squeaking sound.
The office door was pushed open from the outside.
There was no knock on the door.
Because in the black building of the Adjudication Division, those who can enter this office do not need to knock on the door, and those who do not have the right to enter this office naturally have no chance to knock on the door.
Ta-ta-ta-!
The sound of high heels hitting the floor slowly came, and a tall and slim figure walked in. The woman's long black hair swelled back, and there was a distant coldness in her dark blue and slender almond-shaped eyes.
"I heard that you are looking for me." The Third Judgment made 'Empress' Dorothy Alita look at the old man's back.
"That's right." The old man turned around with a gentle smile on his face, "If I remember correctly, our meeting in the afternoon should be an hour later. Haha, ladies should enjoy more privileges.
You don’t need to be so early or on time next time.”
"It was my mistake. If it disturbed your thoughts, I can go out and wait for another hour."
Dorothy Alita did not have any emotional ups and downs because of the old man's friendly attitude. She just lowered her eyelids slightly, bent down and was about to retreat.
"That's not necessary."
The old man smiled and waved his hands, turned around and walked back to the sofa to sit down. He reached for the tea set on the table in front of him and said, "What would you like to drink?"
"Just clear water."
"Try the tea you brought back from the lady at Lion Rock last time."
"Thanks."
The old man picked up the exquisite silver tea set, and first made a cup for the cold woman sitting in front of him in the dense water vapor, and then poured another cup for himself.
The light refracted through the gap in the blinds fell on the tea, like a small white snake meandering around.
The two of them picked up the teacups almost at the same time, took a sip gently, and immediately put down the teacups. The dimly lit conference room fell into a brief silence.
"There are still two months until the World Conference."
The old man broke the brief silence, smiled and said softly, "At this time, there will always be some interesting undercurrents under the calm water. But this year, perhaps there have been too many changes in our Adjudication Department.
The undercurrent seems to have become a little more turbulent.”
In the dark conference room, opposite the small square table, Empress Dorothy Alita gently put down the tea set in her hand, lowered her gaze slightly and said:
"Recently, the 'rebel' forces active in Shangjing and the Grand Duchy of Tagos on the northern border of Bama River are indeed somewhat restless. I heard that there are also some politicians and businessmen involved in them. Do they worry you?"
Hearing the words of Empress Dorothy Alita, the smile on the old man's lips couldn't help but grow stronger, "I will never look down on any human being, whether it is the 'revolutionary army' among humans or the powerful people in the country.
No matter how much trouble they've gotten over the years, it's never really worried me about it, do you know why?"
Dorothy Alita pondered for a moment, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said in an unhurried voice, "Probably because no matter how they play their cards or what cards they hold, when everyone has to bet, all the cards are pushed
When you are at the table, you always have the ability to take all the chips.”
Hearing the woman's words, the old man smiled noncommittally, "Haha. But I haven't done anything with anyone for many years."
"The lion will not lose its due deterrence just because it takes a nap." Dorothy Alita said calmly.
The smile on the old man's face slowly bloomed, and he suddenly shook his head and said, "He is a smart boy. The old fox from Tianhu Bart's family chose to give up on you. It should be the choice he regretted most in his investment career."
Having said this, the old man paused and continued, "But there is another reason that you have overlooked. Whether it is the revolutionary army among humans or the controllers of national power, they all possess quite outstanding 'foresight'.
When these people come together, their first consideration will never be how to overthrow us and overthrow the world government."
The old man's words are still unfulfilled.
Empress Dorothy Alita had a thoughtful look on her face when she heard this, and slowly continued:
"The first thing they think about is the 'profit cake' when everything is over, and how delicious the portion of the profit cake they have been able to get is."
"That's right."
The old man nodded approvingly:
"The history of mankind is one of repeated internal strife and disputes. If the profit cake after the war is not as delicious as imagined, then I think many powerful people do not mind continuing to be dogs."
The old man smiled gently and said in a relaxed tone, "So, no matter how turbulent the situation at the World Conference has been over the years, I have never worried about any big problems. Haha, what the powerful people of mankind have"
Their foresight is destined to make them unable to go far."
"That's a pretty good joke, isn't it?"
Empress Dorothy Alita did not smile, but lowered her eyebrows and fell into deep thought. Then she raised her head for the first time, with some doubts in her slender dark blue eyes and said, "If those surging undercurrents are not worthy of your
If you are worried, then the reason for your appointment with me today is..."
Suddenly, the smile on the old man's face faded slightly. After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, he put it down and said softly, "I may not care about their faults, but you have to pay the price for making mistakes, right?"
"Some people in Tagos, north of the Bama Canal, are trying to make a move recently and meet privately with the leaders of the 'Revolutionary Army'. I need you to go to the north of the Bama Canal," the old man said.
"Do you think the humans in Tagos will take the opportunity to unite with the revolutionary army active in Shangjing during the World Conference and start a rebellion?" Empress Dorothy Alita asked with a frown.
The old man was silent for a moment, chuckled, shook his head and said, "No, I'm not worried. They don't have the guts."
"Then what is the purpose of my trip?" Dorothy Alita asked puzzledly.
The old man looked at Dorothy Alita and said in a leisurely tone, "Human beings are very strange creatures. When they get together, they will start fighting among themselves, but if they suddenly appear, it will threaten them."
When faced with external pressure in life, they will surprisingly unite."
"Like a thousand years ago?"
"Just like it was a thousand years ago."
The old man nodded slightly and continued, "I need you to go there and act as an 'external pressure' for those who are ready to take action, so that they have the courage to unite and the fish that surfaced will be better able to close the net. You
Don’t you think so?”
Dorothy Alita remained silent.
She did not ask "who is responsible for closing the net".
There is no doubt that in the current situation of the Judgment Division, the only person responsible for closing up the bloody giant web is the man who is ranked above her among the adjudicators, with the corner of his mouth always mixed with madness and murderous intent.
The second judge.
The Demon Sword, Puso Wiseman.
Haha, so I am only qualified to be a fuse?
"You don't have to be disappointed."
The old man seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking. He chuckled, shook his head and said:
"I have always had the same expectations for you, but Pusuo's child's style is more suitable for handling this matter."
"The events in Wano have made some people's ambitions begin to expand. The Adjudication Division needs an iron-handed "bloody closing" to re-assert our voice to the world, so that those who are ready to take action can be frightened and returned to their homes."
Bloody closing?
Thinking of that man's past, all those "prey" he played with to the point of despair, even death was a luxury. Dorothy Alita couldn't help but feel a hint of instinctive disgust in her heart.
However, at this point in the conversation this afternoon, she knew it was time to end, so she stood up and bowed slightly:
"I see."
But when she was about to reach the door of the conference room, the old man behind her suddenly said, "Child, I appreciate your kindness in the past, but this time, please remember not to walk into that darkness too gently."
"As assistance, Inquisitor Michus under the command of the Second Judgment Envoy Pusuo will go with you to Tagos in the north of the Bama Canal."
Empress Dorothy Alita couldn't help but stiffen slightly when she heard this. She paused and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
Low eyebrow walked out of the conference room.
The northern boundary of the Bama Canal.
Metziya International Airport, United States of Tagos.
An hour passed in a blink of an eye. Night fell, and through the glass curtain wall of the airport, you could vaguely see the lights of the city in the distance gradually lighting up.
Outside the international arrivals hall.
Carrying large and small bags of luggage, the exchange student team of Takehara Minami looked around like aimless geese looking for the airport pick-up staff from Stafford Private Sword Academy. The expressions on their faces gradually became dull.
"Mr. Kikuchi, are we being ignored?" A student in the exchange team couldn't help but ask.
To be continued...
