"Allen, what plans do you have after you get back?"
The bar was so noisy that even if Ron roared at the top of his lungs, Allen could barely hear him. As he fought against the alcohol, he said tongue-tied, "Learn, improve, enter the clan, form a hunting squad, and go on an expedition to the Outer Realm. That's all I can think of for the time being … "
"It's not bad not to listen." Ron hooked his shoulder and said, "Babylon is a good place, and Bescot is even more so. You have to seize this opportunity. Trust me, if you're a man, you have to go on an expedition to the Outer Realm. There's no future for someone like me on the surface. The Outer Realm battlefield is a gold mine. Of course, without strength, not only will you not be able to dig for gold, you will also become a pile of smelly bones in the gold mine. "
Allen nodded his head shakily. In fact, he only knew a little about the battlefield in the Outer Realm. As for what kind of place it would be, it was still completely unfamiliar to him. He only knew that it was a means of colonial expansion, and behind every great clan, there were several foreign battlefields that had been opened up at the same time. It could be seen that conquering the Outer Realm was almost the only way to strength and power.
"By the way, Second Lieutenant." Allen hiccuped and said, "Can I ask you about someone?"
"Who? As long as it's in District 13, I can find it even if it's a mouse. Of course, that mouse has to have a name, ha. "Ron was also a little drunk, and his voice began to drift.
"Archimedes, I only know one name. Everything else is unknown."
Ron made a few meaningless gestures with his fingers, "Archimedes? The Archimedes who said he could pry up the entire earth if he gave me a fulcrum? "
Allen shook his head and said, "I'm sure it's not. It's probably just the same name. Anyway, that person's name is Archimedes. "
"Alright, whether he wants to pry up the earth or something else. As long as he's in District 13, I'll find him for you. At that time, I'll inform you through Bescot. "
At this moment, a blind voice sounded from the bar stage. Then, a girl sang in a loud and presumptuous voice, "Hey, old men. Look at my life, I'm so similar to you … "
Allen barely raised his head. On the stage, the drunken Adele sang a slow song in a slightly nasal voice. She swayed, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a microphone in the other. She did not look like a young lady at all. Regis also climbed onto the stage. Adele hooked her arm around his shoulder and the two of them sang, "… There's still a long way to go, but we're living in a lonely paradise …"
More and more people joined in the chorus, and Jason and Deeman jumped onto the stage, laughing and singing behind them with glasses in their hands.
Ron narrowed his eyes and said, "It sounds like it was sung for me, you know? Seeing them was like seeing me when I was younger. Time really flies, and I still haven't accomplished anything. Allen, seize every opportunity in life. Don't be like me, only regretting now. "
"Come, let's have another drink." He grabbed the glass and looked at Allen, only to find that the youth had finally fallen asleep on the table.
When the door was kicked open and Second Lieutenant Ron shouted, "Get up, lazy bums." Allen thought he was back to the days of training camp. He opened his eyes and propped himself up, only to find that it was just a dream.
Allen shook his head. The influence of alcohol was minimal. But for Regis and Adele, the alcohol didn't seem to have passed. As a result, the two of them were in a trance from washing up to eating breakfast. Ron drove them to the official airport in District 13, and the bumpy ride almost made Adele vomit bile. But Adele seemed to be in much better spirits, but her face was pitifully pale.
"Then, I won't send you in."
Ron bit his cigar, waved goodbye, and jumped into the armored car and left.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to Babylon. When the airship arrived at the apron, Allen noticed that Adele, who was sitting beside him, was still pale, and Regis, who was not far away, was already alive and kicking. Allen couldn't help but smile. Adele, this little witch, was not afraid of the heavens or the earth. She had a troublemaker's pattern, but she didn't want to get airsick. This was probably something that many people hadn't expected.
Seeing Allen staring at her, Adele gritted her teeth and said, "Don't tell anyone about it."
Allen knew she was referring to his airsickness. He shrugged and said, "It's just a small matter."
"A small matter?" Adele sneered and shook her head. "You didn't grow up in the family, so you don't understand. Any small matter, as long as it's not good for you, can damage your image, will be used by people with intentions. By the time you react, the so-called small matter will often become a fatal blade! "
Allen really didn't understand this. Looking at Adele again, her eyes became lifeless for a moment, like a misty and misty valley, carrying an indescribable sadness. It was like a completely different person from her usual self.
"Adele" Allen looked at her and said, "I don't understand what you're saying, but if you encounter anything troubling in the future and want to talk to someone, you can come to me. Just like ordinary friends, you can complain, complain, anything. "
"Friends?" The misty rain in Adele's eyes quietly dissipated, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes. "You know, when others bump into me, they want to leave immediately, because I'm not as easy to grasp as other girls, and you never know if I'm using you behind your back. So you see, you actually want to make friends with me. You have quite the guts. "
"That's probably because they don't know you, or rather, they don't know the real you. Of course, I don't know either. But if you're willing to let me know, I'd be happy to have a friend like you. " Allen seemed to have remembered something and turned his face away. "I once lived with Snow Wolf for a period of time, not a short period of time," he said.
"Although they treat me as a member of the pack. So do I. But I'm still a human. Staying alone in the pack of wolves, I know what it's like to have no one to talk to … "
"That feeling is too lonely."
The soft place in Adele's heart suddenly trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her head to conceal her loss of composure. At this moment, the announcement of getting off the plane sounded in the cabin. Allen, who was beside her, had already left his seat, and Adele dared to raise her head. Allen had already taken a few steps forward, but he stopped and turned to Adele with a grin. "What I said just now is valid forever."
Only then did he really leave.
A smile gradually spread on his face. Adele stood up and regained her high spirits. "You're the one who jumped into the pit of fire. Don't regret it in the future!"
Of course, Allen wouldn't hear this.
Walking off the traffic airship, the afternoon sun was just right, and the tarmac was bathed in a golden light, as if time had frozen in the most beautiful dusk. Allen picked up his armor box, and Regis was shouting for him to follow. Barney and a few other guards walked in front of them, chatting and laughing. For them, there was no difference between a mission on the surface and a vacation.
Returning to Babylon, Allen did not feel particularly relaxed, because an even greater challenge awaited him. The hunt for the Black Widow had already made him see the huge gap between an individual and a group. If he hadn't joined Bescot, not to mention hiring excellent guards like Barney and the others, he would also have the support of Ron's accurate intelligence. It was very difficult for him to find Andy and the others on the vast surface, let alone control the battle between the Black Widow and Fullen Town and steer the situation in his favor.
Behind the seemingly easy hunt of the Black Widow was the figure of Bescot, who was like a giant beast hidden behind the mountain mist. Of course, he could also use the power of his family to find the predators who had attacked the town back then and even find out about his father, Archimedes. But as Horn said, he had to become one of the leaders of the family in order to have the right to use the family's resources to do what he wanted.
There was still a long way to go. Allen knew this very well. He picked up his armor box and walked towards Regis and the others.
However, no matter how long the road was, as long as he walked step by step, there would always be a time when he would finish it.
He also firmly believed this.
The future was still full of hope!
"Well, be careful when you walk!" Jason suddenly shouted in front of him. A passenger who seemed to have left something on the airship ran back in a hurry and even bumped into Jason. He hurriedly apologized and ran in Allen's direction.
Of course, Jason didn't mind, but when he turned around, he said, "Eh, where's my dagger?"
"Don't tell me it fell on the cabin?" Arnold, who was next to him, said.
Hearing their conversation, Allen suddenly looked at the passenger. The sun shone behind him, leaving Allen with a silhouette against the light. In that silhouette, something flashed.
Jason's dagger!
The attack suddenly appeared at this moment.
First, Arnold suddenly tilted his head and exploded into a mist of blood, drenching Jason, who was beside him, into a bloody man. Then, Diman was shot in the chest, and his entire body was sent flying by the powerful sniper bullet. When he fell to the ground, he was already dead. The sudden attack caused screams to ring out on the tarmac, and the running people caused Barney and the others to disperse.
At this time, the passenger with Jason's dagger had already approached.
Allen grasped that this was a killing trap aimed at him.
At this moment, Regis and the others let the chaotic crowd disperse. Behind him, Adele, who was closest to him, was also a hundred meters away.
A hundred meters away, this time is enough for a lot of things to happen.
As a result, Allen faced a killer alone.
