Demon Sage

v2 Chapter 164: Everyone has friends, good or bad

.., Demon Sage

The man was standing in front of the chair, and the wooden chair behind him was the best one that could be found here. It was obviously deliberately wiped when it was delivered, or it has been kept clean in some way so as not to have any traces of it. Dust contamination.

However, the man still didn't even touch it. I don't know if it was because he was not tired, or because he didn't bother to sit on the chair that had been sitting in the whale house for a long time.

In fact, the person who brought the chair was next to him, three steps to his left, the woman in a long dress.

Hmph, in this weather, at three in the morning, I was wearing a summer skirt, for fear that my chest and legs would not be exposed enough?

The person who was still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to make any rash moves glanced at the side, which happened to be opposite to her, and the latter's eyes were full of disgust.

This bitch, dare to despise me?

The whole face is swollen like a pig's head. The only advantage of this state is that when he is thinking about something bad, other people can't see the expression on his face.

"Back then, the first person I recruited was you, the first one who took refuge in me was you, the one who betrayed the thunderstorm without leaving any trace of affection, and the one who did those things was also you..., so I gave you three chances, I gave you the talent of liquid fire, I let you be the leader of the current thunderstorm, this is the last chance, get up, and next time, what will happen to the whales below, you too what."

Standing on the side of the overseer's house, looking at the whale that was disemboweled below, the bare bones, the fat in the viscera flowing everywhere, the workers walked back and forth on the whale, and gradually dismembered it along some cracks.. ....

"The next plan, you have to participate, and obey the order of the lady of pain. What she said is my order, unconditional implementation, go on... Forget it, you stay here, I will go out."

Too lazy to talk to these people, he waved his hand casually and left the whale house in big strides.

Holding up a black umbrella, he walked alone on the streets of Whale Island, looking at the large machinery factory in the surrounding snow. He had been here many times, but every time he left the government island with complete greening, he came here. There is always a weird feeling of stepping into another world.

This is the home of steel and machinery.

As a somewhat old-fashioned person, he doesn't like this environment very much. Those businessmen seem to like it. They say that it represents efficiency, and efficiency represents profit.

And enough interest often brings power.

He likes the last one.

Squinting his eyes, he quickly locked the location of the person he wanted to see.

Turn to the southeast and move your feet.

The night wind blew, and at first, his head became blurred in the wind, and some grit-like things separated from his body. Then the neck, and then down.

In less than a minute, he lost his figure on this long street, and only a black umbrella rolled around the street along the wind and snow.

The highest building on Whale Island, Demingham Machinery Research Institute, has a small platform with an area of ​​only a few square meters in the obelisk on the roof. There is a wooden table, two rattan chairs, and a small platform inside. The stove was burning with charcoal, and above it was a metal pot that was overflowing with the aroma of chocolate.

Usually no one will come up here, let alone at this time and in this environment.

But at this time, someone was sitting here, wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, leaning on a rattan chair, with a cup of steaming chocolate drink beside him.

Looking outside the obelisk, Whale Island in the snow.

Gravel floated in from the side window and landed on the reclining chair beside him, and soon someone appeared.

"Can you stop using this method every time?"

Reaching for the iron pot on the charcoal stove, the position of the handle was a little red at the moment due to the roasting, but he didn't take any rags or anything.

Because there is no need, the right hand that stretches out the cotton-padded jacket is a mechanical palm, let alone grasping the metal pot, even if it is to take the charcoal below, there is no problem.

"This is the easiest way, all the way up the stairs, the relationship between us is not fully exposed, and it is troublesome...I don't like trouble."

Leaning on the rattan chair, he also looked at the heavy snow outside, and the person beside him poured him a cup of hot chocolate, something very sweet.

"You still don't like trouble? What you have done in the past two years is not looking for trouble for yourself... You seem to have changed a bit."

The physical disability caused him to suffer a lot of unfriendly treatment at a certain time in the past. That kind of environment taught him to learn to watch words, and he does have some talent in this area...not ability Talent, I just have some experience in this aspect.

"Changed? For the better or for the worse?"

He turned sideways, and the hot drink that was about to be put to his mouth stopped.

"A person's change does not necessarily have to be divided into good and bad, just like the growth of human beings, from a child to a youth, it is always changing, who can say whether this change is good or bad, I just found that you seem to be more and more lately. It's just that I don't like talking anymore, why, I've been in a high position for a long time, and I look down on a little guy like me?"

"Haha~ why didn't I realize that you are so sarcastic before?"

He put down the hot drink in his hand and didn't drink a single sip.

"How are those people?"

"Which ones?"

"What else could it be? You should know better than me. You gave me a list at the time, and I didn't bother to look at their names."

If you don't even bother to read their names, they naturally don't care about the identities and pasts of these people.

"It's a little more mature and powerful than when I was just recruited. It's been a few years. If there's no improvement at all, it's not right. It can be used. This time, wash them, get rid of the waste, and absorb some fresh Blood can still be put on the table."

Talking about these people, his attitude is a little indifferent, as if he is discussing a household machine, so that it can be left alone, and when something goes wrong, it will not be soft when thrown.

"You don't look like you're missing someone."

He retracted his hand back to the quilt and raised his eyebrows.

"It's different, some things have to be done by someone... just like playing chess, the king and queen have to have powerful chariots and priests who can advise, but ah, those who say death Then there will be no shortage of dead janitors."

"Yo~ You are starting to compare yourself to the king? This is not a good phenomenon. If outsiders hear it, you might think that you want to challenge the authority of the empire."

A witty remark, but did not get a response from the other party, so the smile on his face was a little stiff, he took a big mouthful of hot chocolate, filled his somewhat bitter mouth with those sweet liquids, and then said,

"Is it necessary to go this far? You know better than anyone what will happen when you succeed and what will happen when you fail."

"I never feel like what I'm doing is right, it's just a means I'm using to achieve my goals."

"I have never said that I have to take this road, but if other roads don't work, or some people don't want me to go, I can't just stay where I am, right? If the right way doesn't work, then go the other way. , if the side path is not available, then I will step on all those who get in my way to the ground, and step on a path through their bodies or faces."

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to say that some external factors forced me to do this, that's too stupid, if a person does bad things, he has to find some excuses for himself to comfort himself, then he is just a pitiful idiot. .....no reason, just because my desire drives me to do these things, no matter if I succeed or fail, I just want to do it, I want to let those people know that what they don't want to give me, I will Get it yourself, and get more."

Working hard all the way from the bottom to where I am today, I have never relied on anyone's alms.

"Good momentum, I hope you can succeed."

After listening to his friend's words, he smiled and said.

"Will you help me?"

"Will you be successful? I like to make sure no losses."

He has always been a stable person, and his friends climbed from the bottom to the current position, so why is he not like this.

"I don't know. The real plan has just begun. Who can guarantee 100% success? Now my side has a chance of winning... 30%? They say it's 80%. , all aspects of the plan are progressing steadily, and the preparations that should be made are almost done. It stands to reason that it accounts for 80%, but I have a vague feeling that things will not be so easy. Some things are too coincidental. .....to be hypocritical”

The plan has been carried out until now, and there have been almost no disturbances. All things are proceeding step by step and succeeding step by step.

Every step was counted by them, and they took every step very steadily.

But precisely because of this step-by-step success, some people in the team think their success is unstoppable, and today's idiot is the best example.

This is a red flag.

"Have you been successful all the time?"

"Okay, of course, but this kind of success is real success~lightnovelpub.net~ not the success someone else gave you, I always feel like they are hiding something, you know, sitting in my place for a long time , I will inevitably come into contact with some things, and now I have met some strange people, and I have come into contact with some deeper secrets in Demingham. This may be a pattern that is far bigger than Demingham's belonging. How much do you know..."

Speaking of which, he inevitably fell into contemplation.

"Looks like you really need help."

"Aren't you seeking stability? Don't care about my thoughts. As a friend, you've helped a lot. If you want to be alone, no problem. I still have this basic morality. No matter what the outcome is, you won't suffer. implicated."

"The truth?"

"lie!"

"Haha~ I'll help you, but it's only for me, life and death don't count, some things are my beliefs, and I will do big things in the future, you can't move them no matter what."

Some things are better to say clearly in advance.
