"Hmm~" In the secret prison, Chiba woke up while lying on the bed, trying to recall the previous memories and observing the surrounding environment, "What happened...here is..."
"Qianye, you're awake."
Hearing the familiar voice, Chiba looked up and found that he was locked in a glass room surrounded by transparent glass. Outside the glass room were three identical glass rooms. Each glass room contained Senbo and Bubu respectively.
and Asahina.
"Senha! Bubu! Asahina! Why are you here? Where is this place? What happened to us?" Chiba asked excitedly.
"We were defeated, by that man." Xianbo said calmly to Chiba.
"That man... Todo-sama!" With Senbo's reminder, Chiba recalled the memories before coma. The four of them prepared to join forces to assassinate Yang Hui, but were blocked by Todo Kaishiro, and were defeated one by one in his hands.
.
"Heh, sir..." Asahina said in a hoarse voice, sitting in the corner with a dejected look on her face.
"Asahina..."
"But... why?" Chiba asked. If Toudo Keishirou was really loyal to Yang Hui and they assassinated Yang Hui, Toudo Keishirou, as Yang Hui's bodyguard, should have killed them on the spot instead of arresting them.
That's right.
"I don't know." Xianbo shook his head. He was the first one among the four to wake up. "After I woke up, I found that except you three, no one else existed, not even guards, and he didn't
Appeared."
"In that case..."
"Save it." Bubu, who saw through what Chiba was thinking, immediately interrupted her, stood up and knocked on the glass wall, "Alchemist glass, a transparent ceramic composed of aluminum, nitrogen, and oxygen.
The hardness is equivalent to steel, and the strength and impact resistance are very high. It is mostly used in the military and security fields, such as bulletproof glass, missile windows, etc. Bullets cannot penetrate it."
"How do you know?" Qianye asked Bubu blankly. He was not someone who knew much about these things.
"Here, there is an instruction manual." Bu Bu raised his chin and motioned Qianye to look for the bedside.
"Huh?" Qianye picked up the pillow and saw the thick instruction manual under the pillow, "What... does this mean?"
"Let's not be stupid." Bu Bu shrugged. There was a copy of this manual under everyone's pillow. It not only introduced the material of the glass wall, but also introduced the entire prison.
Although he didn't know whether what was said in the manual was true, but...as long as any one of them was true, then there was no possibility of them escaping from jail.
"this……"
"So don't even think about escaping." Bubu lay down on the bed again and carefully introduced the contents of the manual to Chiba, "There are no guards around because there is no need for guards. There are hundreds of cameras on the surrounding walls, both covert and covert.
Every move we make is under their observation. Even if we break the glass wall, there are countless automatic defense machine guns hidden in those walls, and they will sieve us."
"Forehead……"
"Also, even if we can survive the machine gun fire, look at page 42 of the manual. The only passages are poisonous gas vents, flamethrowers, spike traps, falling walls... Tsk, the person who designed this prison is simply a lunatic.
,frenzied!"
After Chiba read the manual, she lost her color and did not dare to mention the idea of escape. This manual was very considerate. It contained a complete and detailed map introduction of the prison, and even the hidden traps were introduced very well.
It's detailed and even thoughtfully marked with methods of cracking and strategies for clearing levels.
But... it is precisely because of this that people cannot afford any idea of jailbreaking. It is simply a scumbag.
"What should we... do?" Qianye asked blankly.
"Wait." Xianbo, who had been silent all this time, said.
"wait?"
"Since he didn't kill us and deliberately locked us together, he definitely wouldn't just lock us up like this." Xianbo analyzed.
"Haha, what else could it be?" the decadent Asahina said, "His new master likes to appreciate the ugliness of losers? Likes to look at our decadent, lost, and desperate expressions?"
"Asahina..." Senba, Bubu and Chiba knew that Asahina was just talking nonsense. He was already unconscious. Based on their understanding of Toudo Kaishiro, even if he was loyal to Yang Hui, human nature would not change.
If Yang Hui is really such a cruel or even disgusting person, Todo Kaishiro will not be loyal to Yang Hui even if he dies.
At this time, the door to the only passage opened, and they saw that familiar figure, the same Bunitalia uniform, the same mask, the only difference was that the knight sword in his hand was replaced by
A suitcase.
"Tengtang..."
Asahina just glanced at him and sneered, then looked away and continued to sit dejectedly in the corner, with her back to Todo Kaishiro who was walking towards him. The other three people looked at him step by step with complicated faces.
.
Todo Kaishiro walked to the open space between the four glass rooms and put down his suitcase. After opening it, he took out several dishes to go with wine, a bottle of wine and five wine glasses. After placing them, he sat directly on the ground and raised his head to
The direction of the camera nodded.
Then, the passage door closed and the doors of the four glass rooms opened.
"This! What do you mean?" Bu Bu asked.
"I never had the chance before, but now I want to have a drink with you." Kaishiro Todo said as he took off his mask and put it aside.
"..." Senba, Bubu and Chiba didn't know what Kaishiro Toudou was going to do, but they looked at each other and nodded. They walked out of the glass room and came to Kaishiro Toudou and sat down on the spot. As for Asahina...
They know they can't be persuaded.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Senba asked, looking at Todo Kaishiro who was pouring them drinks.
"...A year ago, I was sentenced to death in front of the whole country." Kaishiro Toudo did not answer Senba, but told his story to the three of them, "Although I don't know what method was used.
, but His Highness saved me and gave me a second life."
"So you betrayed?" Bu Bu asked with a sneer, his tone full of disdain.
"...I met Darlene and Xiaozhi in the mansion in the concession." Todo Kaishiro paused for a moment, but continued, "Although they were taken away by His Highness, they lived well, and His Highness did not feel sorry for them.
They, then..."
The three of them listened with disdain, thinking that Todo Kaishiro was whitewashing himself, but as they listened, they fell silent.
"...for a whole year, Chisong made countless promises to me, but none of them were fulfilled. Instead, His Highness gave me opportunities again and again, but I failed to seize them. Your Highness was right, I was the wall at that time.
On the one hand, he helped Chisong as an undercover agent for the sake of the country and compatriots, and on the other hand, he used His Highness to help Darlene and Xiaozhi live a stable and comfortable life.
But in the end, Chisong did not intend to fulfill his promise, nor did he care about my life or death, nor the life or death of Darlene and Xiaozhi. Instead, His Highness fulfilled all his promises to me and gave me the highest trust.
It also gave me one last chance."
"..."
Senba, Bubu, and Chiba listened silently, drinking a glass of wine from time to time, and then drinking it themselves. Even Asahina's lifeless eyes showed a trace of fluctuation.
They understood that Todo Kaishiro betrayed, but everything he was loyal to betrayed him first, and again and again. Without Yang Hui, he would have sacrificed meaninglessly, and his family would have become an eternity.
The sinner, who was bullied by the compatriots and the country who were loyal to Toudo Keishiro, would eventually...should follow in the footsteps of Toudo Keishiro, right?
"I am not asking for your forgiveness when I say this. I just want to tell you that this is my choice, but it is also a choice that everyone forced me to make."
"...Todo, have you ever thought that Yang Hui...is the next Akamatsu?" Xianbo hesitated for a moment and decided to ask Todo.
"Won't."
"Why?"
"His Highness is a very complicated person, but he is also a very simple person."
"What do you mean?" The three of them were stunned and asked.
"His Highness is different from the Bunitalia people in everyone's impression. He is an extremely proud person, but his pride lies only in himself and his opponents. It is different from the common Bunitalia attitude towards everyone.
arrogant."
Hearing this, Xianbo, Bubu and Chiba all nodded in agreement. They had been following Yang Hui in the dark before he was caught, including the conversation with the owner of the takoyaki stall in front of the Governor's Palace.
Along the way, Yang Hui acted very friendly and easy-going. He was not the prince of Bunitalia at all, but just a sunny young man.
"The complexity of His Highness lies in the fact that from him, you can see gentleness and coldness, gentleness and cruelty, pride and humility... You can see many contradictory and conflicting characteristics in the world, so he is very complicated."
"...How about simple?" Qianye asked.
"To put it simply... when dealing with his companions and family, he will show his brightest side. To the people around him, he is like an angel, but when dealing with his enemies, he will turn into the cruelest Shura."
"..."
Still silent, it is indeed contradictory, but it does make sense, complex and simple at the same time.
"Furthermore, based on what I have observed all along, His Highness is a person with a bottom line. Countless people have died at his hands, but... none of them were innocent civilians."
"..."
"Also, His Highness has formulated a series of policies for the Sakura Country people in the occupied areas. It is impossible to compare with the treatment of the Bunitalia people, but... it is definitely better than the Sakura Country under the control of the Six Families of Kyoto."
"So, your purpose is to recruit us, right?" After listening so much, they got a lot of answers, and they all knew the purpose of Kaishiro Toudou.
"Yes." Todo Kaishiro nodded unabashedly.
"..." Senbo, Bubu, Chiba, and even Asahina, who had been sitting in the glass room without coming out, all had complicated expressions. If Yang Hui is really like Todo Kaishiro said, then it is indeed worth it.
Zhiro, a wise master worthy of their following.
But... this is the man who invaded their country.
"I don't need you to give an answer now. The surrender ceremony will be held in three days. You have two days to think about it."
"...What if we refuse?" The person who asked the question was not Senba, Bubu and Chiba, but Asahina who suddenly stood up. "If we don't accept, we will be killed, right?"
"...This is my duty." Todo Kaishiro was silent for a while and said to the four people. Just as the four people sneered, he added, "But His Highness said, you are my trophies. I have
Dispose of your rights at will, so if you don't agree, I will let you leave, go back, leave the army, leave the battle, and return to ordinary life."
After saying that, Todo Kaishiro finished the wine in the glass, picked up the mask, stood up and left.
"You can move around freely here these two days, and you will not be locked in the glass room forever. I will come again in two days, but... the next time you point the blade at His Highness, you will no longer face Todo Mirror.
Zhiro, but X, I will kill you without hesitation."
