On the Ark

……

To the west of Chernobog, on the wilderness trail fifty kilometers away, the autumn leaves paved the road.

A riot vehicle suddenly blocked the middle of the road, and people in riot gear fell in disorder, blood staining the withered yellow leaves.

Leaning on a cane, Mephisto stepped over one of the corpses and walked towards W who was standing next to the riot vehicle.

"I've always felt that such an action is meaningless." Mephisto said, "How much money can be loaded in a cash truck? People are killed, money is taken, and energy is spent, but it can't solve the fundamental problem. .”

W opened the back door of the carriage and looked at the lockboxes piled together in the carriage. Some lockboxes had been damaged in the previous collision, and banknotes were scattered all over the floor.

"You shouldn't tell me this kind of thing." W said lightly, "This is Tallulah's order."

"I've never doubted Big Sister, but I think this kind of efficiency is too low." Mephistopheles stood beside W, "We need money, a lot of money. A cash transport truck won't work, Two vans won't do, not ten. And it's going to alarm Ursus eventually, but we're not at war with Ursus yet."

W turned to look at Mephisto: "What do you want to say?"

"You should know what I want to say." Mephisto said with a smile, "We may be able to find a more stable withdrawal channel, such as... Karan Trading, you should have heard of this name before. Rather than It is a consortium, rather a country, which holds all the wealth of Kjerag. As long as we can get this money, then we will never have to rob the cash truck again. This money is enough to support the eldest sister to complete her ultimate dream."

"The idea is very good." W said, "But I heard that Karan Trade has a very special leader, and the big sister doesn't think he will support us."

Mephisto poked the ground with his crutches, and said with a slight smile: "He is not willing to support us, so find a leader who is willing to support us. The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ant nests, and the ant nests in the Karan trade are not just Oh one."

W glanced at Mephisto: "It seems that you have not only an idea, but also a plan. Then why did you tell me instead of Tallulah?"

"Actually, I have already discussed it with my elder sister." Mephistopheles said, "Elder sister agreed to my plan."

W looked at Mephisto with some surprise: "How is it possible? Tallulah said that the focus now should be..."

"There is no need to change the center of gravity." Mephisto slowly raised his hand, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "We only need to use a very small force, and we can achieve the effect of four or two."

"That's Karan Trade." W stared at Mephistopheles, "As you said, there is a country standing behind it."

"I also said that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests, and I have already contacted ant nests, and there are still several of them."

"...It seems that your actions last time made Tallulah trust you even more."

"No, not just last time." Mephisto smiled, "I have proven countless times that as long as it is what I want, I can get it no matter what."

"Like that little girl named Ifrit?"

Mephisto's expression froze.

Observing the change in Mephisto's expression, a faint smile slowly appeared on W's face: "Mephisto, I advise you not to treat everyone but you as idiots."

"I never regard people as idiots." Mephisto's expression quickly recovered, "But I do think they are not as good as me, and I will prove it to you this time, W. Let you see How I subverted a group... no, a country with a few people."

W turned and left, then waved his hands: "Then I hope you can succeed."

Mephisto looked at W's back and was about to say something when he suddenly felt that the temperature around him was much lower.

He lowered his head and found that the fallen leaves under his feet were covered with a thin layer of frost. He immediately thought of something, turned around, and saw a "snow-white" woman walking slowly towards him.

"Frost Star." Mephisto said slowly, "Could it be, do you still want to go to Chernobog to find your 'benefactor'?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

This is a woman who came out of the wind and snow.

Mephisto narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other party.

He was well aware of how powerful this woman code-named "Frost Star" was in front of him. Even though she had joined the integration movement for less than two years, her promotion speed was like a rocket going up into the sky.It can be said that he became a cadre in the shortest time in the integration movement, and looking at the entire integration movement, Mephisto can't think of anyone who can stabilize the opponent's strength in terms of strength.Because he has never seen anything like this, even if he does nothing, it is as daunting as a walking natural disaster.

But he is not afraid of the other party, or rather, he is not afraid of anyone.While being stared at by the other party with cold eyes, he leaned on his cane and took two steps forward.

The cane poked against the frozen leaves, making a piercing and crisp sound.

"Look at your expression." Mephisto smiled slightly, "I guessed right?"

Frost Star stared at Mephisto, and then slowly said: "Who told you?"

As she spoke, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a bit lower.

"It shouldn't be a secret, right? Or rather, it's not a secret you deliberately want to hide." Mephisto let out a sigh of relief. Although it was only autumn, he felt as if he was in the midst of winter. Most of the people's pasts, most of them have similar stories of being abandoned, hated, and hated. Of course, that's what brought us together."

Shuang Xing said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that your story belongs to the more interesting category in my opinion." Mephistopheles smiled and took two steps towards Frost Star, "The elder sister once said that our group of people I will never betray, and I will not be afraid of death. Because we are all hugged together when there is no hope, it is like grasping the last straw. But you are different , before you entered the organization, you encountered a straw, that is, your benefactor?"

Froststar didn't speak, just looked at Mephisto.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me with that look." Mephisto shrugged, "We're companions, aren't we?"

Frost Star said: "I don't have a companion like you."

"Really? Then think of me as self-indulgent." Mephisto said, "After all, I regard all members of the organization as my companions."

The corners of Shuang Xing's mouth raised slightly, but he didn't speak, as if mocking.

Mephisto pretended not to see it: "Actually, as a companion, I need your help."

Frost Star glanced at Mephisto and shook his head: "It is impossible for me to help you, even if it is Tallulah's order."

After all, Frost Star was about to walk past Mephisto.

Mephisto chuckled and said, "What if I say I can help you a little?"

Frost Star walked past Mephisto without looking back, and there was a "click" sound of a series of frozen dead leaves being crushed.
