Chapter 123: The Tiger in the Cage
"I thought these little guys would eventually rely on the guidance given by gold coins to go to the Vatican, but I didn't expect..." In the main control room, Xia Ya shook her head in a silence.
"No matter whether it is strength or speed, humans can never compare to the beasts fighting in the wild, but humans can still defeat these beasts and stand at the top of the food chain and rule the planet. And what they rely on is the wisdom that far exceeds the rest of the beasts." The golden photoelectric condensed behind Xia Ya and soon turned into Kuro's appearance. As he said that, he shook his head in a silence.
"But this wisdom... sometimes it really caught me off guard."
Yuko lay lazily on the easy chair, "Why don't you reveal more information about Akado to them?"
"If you spoil it, you won't feel the joy of discovering the secret." Charitykulo replied.
His eyes passed through the atmosphere of the blue star and through the clouds, he looked at a military vehicle driving on the street in Dororo City. He raised the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen the future in his eyes...
"If the necrotic flesh is not cut off, it will only gradually corrode the entire body. Go and discover it! Discover his unbearable past, and discover the real reason for his fall into darkness..."
...
After the meeting, Mark did not rush to take a plane to the Vatican, but took an iron box from District 11 to a residential building at the end of Lancomora Avenue.
Dingdong~
As the rhythmic doorbell rang, the door opened from the inside. A young woman who looked thirty or forty years old opened the door. Her long hair was tied into a braid and put it on one shoulder. She looked very virtuous, but the loose bags under her eyes looked a little tired. She was a little surprised to see the person coming.
"Mark, why are you here?"
"Sister-in-law, I'll take a look at Instructor Elon." Mark said in a deep voice.
"Come in. He is in a bad mood recently. He should be very happy to see you." The young woman said with a gentle smile, but the dark circles of her eyes became more obvious and she looked more tired.
Mark entered the door with an iron box. It was not big, about 100 square meters, with three bedrooms and one living room. The decoration was warm and looked quite warm.
"Hurry up! Nina, keep the firepower covered at nine o'clock, I'll support you right away!"
"I can't hold on anymore, Dad, come quickly!"
"Here you come, the enemy's firepower network is broken, hurry up, rush!!"
With the words of clearance appearing on the 4K TV screen in front of them, Elon, sitting in a wheelchair, and the little girl sitting on the sofa on one side each took off her VR helmets.
Elon looked very excited, and he looked at the little girl and stretched out his hands.
"Great! Nina, we won!"
"So amazing Dad!" Nina also jumped up from the sofa with joy, staring at the boss with big watery eyes, looking very cute. He jumped off the sofa and tried to throw himself into Elon's arms. But, she seemed to have smelled something, paused, thrust her nose, and then covered her nose.
"Dad, you've pulled Xiaoxiao on your body again, it's so smelly."
Elon's hand that stretched out froze suddenly, his eyes darkened, "Sorry."
"It's okay dad." Nina encouraged: "This is because dad is injured. Now he's like a baby. You wait. I'll ask mom to change his dad's diapers."
As she said that, Nina turned her head and tried to call her mother, but when she turned around, she saw Mark standing there, and her eyes lit up.
"Uncle Mark!"
Nina seemed very happy, and she trotted and threw herself into Mark's arms.
Mark naturally picked up Nina with one hand and let him sit on his arm that was thicker than the girl's waist. He smiled.
"Did Little Nina listen to her parents carefully today~"
"Of course there is!" Nina looked up as if she was about to praise me, "It took Nina only half an hour to finish a lot of homework assigned by the teacher."
When I said it was too big, I even lengthened it to indicate that there was a lot of homework.
"We Nina are awesome." Mark shaved Nina's nose and then placed her on the ground.
"Okay, go find your mom, Uncle Mark wants to tell your dad something."
"It turns out that Uncle Mark was not here to play with Nina." Nina pouted and said unhappily.
Mark smiled and touched Nina's hair, "Be good at Nina, when you come next time, Uncle Mark will give you a game helmet for the Immortal Bird, and it will be launched in Britania the day after tomorrow."
"Really!" Nina said excitedly with her eyes lit up.
Don’t look at the little guy, you can understand more in some aspects than adults.
Due to the influence of her parents, the little guy is a real military fan. However, when he is at that age, it is impossible for her to get guns and cannons. So Elon bought a lot of military-related AR games for her to play to satisfy her military dream, but she always felt a little bad.
The Immortal Bird recently launched a mecha game, perfectly imitating the modern battlefield, and it plays it in TV commercials every day, and the little guy is almost crying.
"Of course it's true. Our military has reached a cooperation with the Immortal Birds. The helmet will be available immediately as soon as it arrives." Mark smiled.
"Then... Uncle Mark, you have to keep your word!" As if he was a little worried, the girl reminded again.
"Of course, Uncle Mark never lies. Okay, go find your mom."
Nina nodded, then ran to the woman who was standing at the door with expectation.
Mark watched the woman walk out of the room with Nina in her arms, and turned her head to meet Elon's murderous look. The part-time look was like watching a trafficker who was kidnapped.
Mark touched his head awkwardly, as if it was because of Nina's unique hobby that she liked things with a sense of power very much.
So Mark's body had a perfect striking touch to Nina's good football area. She liked Mark very much, but this made her old father Elon a little chewy...
"I heard that Britania has not been peaceful recently. Shouldn't you be so busy now?"
"I'm going to the Vatican." Mark said straight to the point.
"Why are you going to that place? A group of gods are talking nonsense. Just telling their God is nothing, it's like killing their whole family." Elon curled his lips and said, as if he hated the believers of God very much.
"There is a very important task. I am afraid that Britania will not resist after I leave, so I will ask you for help." Mark didn't mean to explain much.
"Me?" Elon seemed to hear the funny thing. He smiled and shook his head and laughed and said to himself, "You have seen it too. What can I do? I am just a useless person now. I can't hold back my shit and urine. After leaving the diapers, I am a baby who wets the bed every day."
Mark handed Elon the box in his hand, "This is the bloodline fusion potion exchanged from those magicians with the first batch of mitral mined in Britania.
I asked Master Kuro, this potion is an improved version, and it will not be life-threatening like the one I used before. In theory, powerful magic can treat any trauma or even soul damage, but whether it can assimilate bloodlines still depends on your own magic adaptability. This thing should be able to heal your injuries."
Elon's pupils suddenly contracted into a point. He looked at the box, like a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert, saw the oasis, his eyes full of fanatical desire.
He wanted to take the box, but he stopped halfway through his hand. His eyes trembled and closed his eyes to prevent himself from looking at the box.
"You should be illegal to bring this thing out, right? Britania cannot use such a precious thing for me, a useless man. This is going to the military court!"
"But as long as you successfully merge your bloodline and become a reserve magician, my mistakes can be ignored, and even considered as achievements." Mark said calmly, "And even if you can't integrate, it's okay. As the second supernatural weapon that Britania can master, I will be demoted at most and will not be able to go to the military court."
"Instructor!" Seeing Elon hesitating, Mark finally couldn't help but increase his tone, "Can you endure sitting in a wheelchair every day and becoming a useless person who can't even control his shit and urine, and spend the second half of your life tragically and painfully!?"
...Eron was silent, and after a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Mark.
"You are so confident that I will come back? Now I have a wife and children, a house and a car, a retirement fee plus a disability allowance and a lot of subsidies, which are enough for me and my family to use, and I don't have to worry about food and drink. I am very happy. Why do I still have to live a life of licking blood from the knife?"
"That's why I have to send my sister-in-law and Nina away." Mark's eyes were inexplicably clear, "You told me that you are a tiger, a wild tiger, born in the forest, dead in the forest, and living a comfortable life without dignity!"
Mark looked at Elon sincerely, "This is not the place you should stay."
"If Lisa (Elon's wife) heard what you said, she would probably kill you with a knife." Elon teased, his eyes deep: "I always remember her expression when I was carried back: liberation and peace of mind. She no longer has to be afraid every day, worrying about one day I will be beaten to death by a terrorist, no longer worrying about losing her husband, and Nina will lose her father. For her, disability is the best result."
After a pause, he looked deep: "But... you are right, Mark. I'm not willing to let it go! Those damn monsters have killed so many of our comrades and so many of our subordinates. The messes wandering in Britania are even more killing people under our noses, unscrupulous! I don't know how many people have lost their families because of this. I'm angry and angry, but I can only sit here, helpless."
His eyelids trembled at Mark, and his expression looked like an addict who had been addicted: "Do you know? Mark, I dreamed of holding the handle again, I dreamed of standing with you again, twisting those messy heads and stuffing them into their ass! Let them know! What is the mistake of attacking us Britanians!"
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes in pain: "But I can't."
"In more than a month, the abyss will officially invade." Mark spoke in a low voice. "We have no idea how they will attack humans. At that time, I may not be able to take care of you. Only by holding a gun can I protect Lisa and Nina."
Mark placed the box in front of Elon, "I will put this thing here first, and the decision is in your own hands."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lisa standing behind the door with Nina in her arms, with tears in her eyes. When she saw Mark, she seemed a little panicked and turned her back and didn't dare to look at him.
