It's a bodyguard, not a cowherd

Opening a corner of the curtain, looking downstairs, there are more than a dozen fully armed bodyguards standing in this small field of vision, and the most conspicuous of them is Noshsuke.

"This must be Ye Shekong's idea, Ye Shesuke really dotes on him."

Eartha handed the reloaded gun to Dick by the window, "Our people are already in place, should we go first or wait?"

After playing with it for a while, Dick handed it back, "I can't use it well, the recoil hurts my hand."

Eartha didn't force it, she accepted it and carried it behind her back.

Dick moved his eyes from the two daggers tied to Eartha's calf, to the two daggers pinned to her waist, and then to the dagger on her back, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"You don't need to be so complete. Although they are aggressive, they are still in the territory of country C. It is illegal to use guns on a large scale. The main thing is to force us to surrender, so that we can gain an advantage during the negotiation."

"Be prepared." Eartha thought for a while and asked Dick, "What about Sakurai Tsubasa?"

If Eartha doesn't mention it, Dick will forget about it.

"He..." Dick hesitated.

Indeed, the moment Sakurai Tsubasa was abandoned by the Noshe brothers, he became a "chicken rib". It was tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to discard it.

"Just let it go, wouldn't I be too embarrassing." Dick grabbed the curtain unconsciously, thought for a while, and finally sighed with determination, "Forget it, just let it go and wait for him to fend for himself, deal with it first Let's do our own business."

Eartha nodded, "Was that attack or defense."

"No hurry." Dick waved his hand, "The slate hasn't been played yet, the fixed lines at this time will definitely be coming soon..."

Before Dick could finish speaking, the loudspeaker sounded from downstairs——

"Dick-Bruce, you are surrounded, put down your weapon quickly, I can spare you!"

Hearing Ye Shekong's arrogant and noisy voice, Eartha's dead fish eyes became even more "dead fish" as if she had been whipped.

"He... is so childish."

The good upbringing prevented Eartha from saying the word "stupid", so she considered the words she used, and finally chose the more neutral word "childish" as her evaluation.

Dick shrugged, he didn't have so many scruples, and he just blurted out the word "stupid", with a strong disdain and contempt in his demeanor and tone.

"What about the order now?" Eartha asked.

"right now……"

As Dick said, he opened the curtains, and the sunlight burst in instantly, occupying the entire space.

He snatched the gun from Eartha's waist, and pointed a magazine of bullets downstairs, "Of course it's the first move!" Dick laughed flamboyantly.

A screeching blare of loudspeakers pierced the sky, revealing just how turbulent the mood of its bearer was.

"Call me back!"

Ye Shekong's roar made the bodyguards he accepted raised their guns in unison.

"Squat down!"

Slapping the back of Dick's head with a slap, Eartha made a beautiful thrust forward, and then pressed his head, and the two hid together at the base of the wall under the window.

Banging bullets flew through the window and hit the desk, coffee table and sofa, and then the lamp on the table was scrapped, the cup on the coffee table was scrapped, and the sofa also exploded cotton wool one after another.

This situation made Dick feel sad——

"Ah! I quite like that crystal table lamp, that ceramic tea set and that leather sofa!"

Eartha turned her head to look at Dick quietly, "It seems that you don't like your head, and it happens that I don't like it either, or..."

Feeling the strength of Eartha pulling him up, Dick hurriedly begged for mercy: "Wrong, wrong! I was wrong! Thank you, thank you very much, how could I have survived without you, my beautiful goddess of battle, Eartha Miss."

Eartha was noncommittal to Dick's ariad praise, only to let go of the pull.

Dick let out a long sigh of relief, and stroked his chest secretly—sure enough, he shouldn't be acting stupid in front of Eartha, she never cheats!

The barrage attack lasted for 1 minute, and then stopped abruptly. Dick guessed that it was the other two allies who made the noise.

that's the truth.

Huai Baizhou gave Huang Bin a sneaky look, and Huang Bin immediately took the loudspeaker from Ye Shekong's hand without any trace.

After Huang Bin retired, Huai Baizhou stepped forward, "Mr. Onoshe, can you tell us your real plan now?"

"Hmph!" Ye Shekong glared at Huai Baizhou and Huang Bin who was behind him, who was pretending to be transparent, and then angrily manipulated the wheelchair to "roll" away.

Huai Baizhou raised his eyebrows unsurprisingly, and turned to look at Noshesuke, who has been the grass protector, "What about you? Mr. Ohnoshe."

"I'll go in directly, you can do whatever you want."

Huai Baizhou turned sideways, allowing Noshsuke to lead his men into the building, and then he looked at August, "Go in?"

August nodded, unlike Noshsuke, he was only followed by his secretary Roger.

Huai Baizhou looked back at Si Zhi.

Si Zhi shrugged and waved his hands to tell the team members to stay outside and wait for orders, obviously he wanted to go in with Huai Baizhou alone.

So, Huai Baizhou took Huang Bin, plus a Si Zhi, and followed August into the building.

Looking at the figure who seemed to be a little taller than himself, Si Zhi leaned into Huai Baizhou's ear and said, "Is he the reincarnation of Ares?"

Huai Baizhou raised his eyebrows and cast a puzzled look.

"It's very good at fighting, the kind where one man is the key and the other is not open, otherwise why don't you bring a bodyguard."

Huai Baizhou gave Si Zhi a sideways glance, and moved a little distance away from him quietly, but he was also strange in his heart, but the strangeness was not about reincarnation, but why August didn't bring anyone with him in the first place—passive sabotage?Unhappy with Wild Ford?

Maybe it was because August heard Si Zhi's "children's words", or maybe it was because Huai Baizhou's eyes were too hot, he who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and then turned back under the guilty gaze of Huai Baizhou and Si Zhilue .

"Ah, sorry, I didn't teach my staff well."

Si Zhi suddenly turned his eyebrows coldly at his immediate superior - don't blame me just because I have a big head, I would rather use it to keep out the rain than take the blame!

August's expression was as usual, without any emotion, "It's just unnecessary." His tone was also calm and unwavering.

"It's not necessary..." Huai Baizhou lowered his eyes, chewing August's words softly.

Si Zhi's big head is not easy to use for thinking, he directly asked, "Why is it not necessary?"

August first looked at Si Zhi silently for two seconds, and then explained patiently: "Because Dick thinks it's unnecessary."

Ok?

Forgive Si Zhi for having a big head, but shallow wrinkles on the surface—he was even more puzzled.

Regardless of whether Si Zhiming understands it or not, August did become Dick's "confidant" once.

"You don't want the broken pages?" Eartha's voice lost its usual steadiness because of surprise, "Then why do you still resist?"

Dick leaned on the edge of the table, turning his head nonchalantly, "My job is still in the hands of the M Military Research Institute, even if I don't want to, I have to make a show."

Eartha's eyes fluttered as she unconsciously backed away, bumping into the back of the couch and bouncing back with force.

"Why, what's the matter? Why did he react so suddenly, I, I didn't say anything strange..." Dick curled his mouth, trying to put on his usual laughing appearance, but it was too stiff to be real.

"You, didn't you want to..." Eartha lowered her head and murmured to herself.

Dick walked cautiously towards Eartha with his hands stiff in the air, "Yeah, yeah? So what's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

"Heh!" Eartha sneered at herself, "It turns out that I am the one who is immersed in it, and I am the fan of the authorities."

"Ah? What kind of fascination with the authorities?" Dick had already walked in front of Eartha, and he, who was a little taller than Eartha, bent his knees and kept her eye level, "Eartha, if you are too tired, you can just wait here."

Although her straight eyes showed that she hadn't recovered yet, Eartha shook her head habitually.

"I'll be fine, as long as I give them the torn pages, before that, I'll disgust them a little bit anyway, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Dick's voice has never been so gentle, this is his more than 30 years of life for the first time.

"You don't have any." Eartha pushed away Dick who had crossed a safe distance, closed her eyes, and then opened them again. The emotion just now was completely intact in her eyes, "Don't mess with what's left, take out the broken pages, and I'll give them to you." They will do."

"But……"

Eartha didn't speak, just clenched her left hand and spread her right hand in front of Dick with a clear attitude.

"Okay, the one with the higher force value has the final say." Dick raised his hand in surrender, and obediently turned around to get the broken page.

Grabbing the broken page casually, Eartha took out the urn, and before walking out the door, she looked at Dick with warning eyes and said, "I hope to see you staying here obediently when I come back."

Dick took advantage of the situation and raised his still raised hands higher, "Understood, Goddess Eartha!"

Another warning look at Dick before Eartha walked out the door.

Ding--

The elevator stopped on the first floor, and then the elevator door slowly opened.

The people inside and outside the door paused at the same time.

It was Si Zhi who glanced at the torn page in Eartha's hand, "Hey! The torn page!" After speaking, he was eager to go in and grab it.

"The remaining pages are for you." As soon as Eartha finished speaking, the remaining pages were thrown at Noshsuke, "But there is still some interest to be collected."

Si Zhi and Roger enlarged their eyes at the same time, took a neat step, and stepped in front of their respective bosses.

Bang!

The elevator door closed slowly, closing the mouth of the gun and the smile on Eartha's mouth.

"Boss!"

The deputy behind Noshsuke hurried forward, reaching out to grab his bleeding left hand.

"Um, I'm sorry!" But Noshsuke glared back.

His right hand gradually tightened, and the broken pages inside were crumpled into a ball. Noshsuke stared at the elevator door with a fierce look in his eyes, "Go up!"

Naturally, Noshsuke's subordinates would not let go of such a good opportunity to make amends, so they immediately divided into two groups, one group continued to wait for the elevator, and the other group went straight to the safe passage.

August remained expressionless the whole time, like a spectator who was completely uninterested, "Let's go."

Roger blinked, but followed August's footsteps in silence.

Si Zhi looked at the elevator, then at August's back, scratched his head, "What should we do now, Mr. Huai?"

Huai Baizhou watched the elevator door close in front of him, turned around, "Let's go too."

"Huh? But they..."

"The goal of our cooperation is only to help him get the broken pages. The rest are not within the scope of the contract. I won't do it in vain." After Huai Baizhou finished speaking, he walked away without a pause.

Si Zhi thought about it and nodded, "Yes, and there is no commission, why should I work so hard. Hey! Wait for me!"

As soon as Huai Baizhou walked outside, Si Zhi's team members all ran over, and all of them had weird expressions.

"What's the matter?" Si Zhi asked.

Huai Baizhou looked at August who was holding the earphones connected to the radio equipment and was still frowning when he heard it, and walked towards him suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" Huai Baizhou asked.

August handed over the headphones, "Listen to yourself."

Huai Baizhou took it and listened quietly for half a minute, then his brows became more and more wrinkled, and finally they were almost mixed together.

August looked up and looked at the broken window, the curtains inside were dancing wildly with the wind, "Together is really coming to an end."

The curtain kept sweeping across Dick's back, but he didn't care because the TV that suddenly lit up on the wall, the people in it and what he was saying, had completely taken over his mind.

"Accordingly, we are already old acquaintances, but I think it is necessary for me to re-introduce myself." The man on the screen saluted gracefully, stood up, and smiled, "It's the first time we meet, I am the psychologist Gracme -Hilgard, fellow test subjects."

No one in the room moved.

Gracme, on the other hand, seemed to be in the room, and said with a smile, "Mr. Noshura, why don't you bandage your left hand first? It's not good to go on like this."

Noshsuke hadn't spoken yet, but Dick looked around the room vigilantly, "Where are you?"

"Hahaha!" Gracme laughed happily, waved his hands and said, "I'm not with you, as for where I am, you should know, Mr. Dick, after all, I still have someone from you."

"What did you do to him?"

Gracme's eyes widened in surprise, "It's me who is being threatened, why do you think I will do something to him?"

Dick frowned and said in a bad tone, "It's best if you didn't do anything."

"Not really." Gracme shrugged.

"What do you mean by the first words?" Noshsuke interrupted Dick's meaningless conversation, and asked Gracme directly with burning eyes.

The corners of the mouth lowered slightly, and the smile on Gracme's face became extremely shallow, "It's literally."

"What kind of experiment are you doing?" Noshsuke's expression became more gloomy.

"Don't be nervous, what I'm doing is not a human experiment." Gracme raised his hand to signal Noshsuke to relax, "It's just a psychological experiment."

"What psychological experiment?"

Gracme smiled, "You really like to get to the bottom of it."

"What experiment?" Noshsuke emphasized.

"Of course..." Gracme's smile didn't reach his eyes, "Look at the temptation of the absolute throne, what kind of choices people will make."

Gracme's words made the breathing in the room seem to become rapid for a moment.

Lowering his head and slowly looking at the broken page on his right hand, Noshsuke's body suddenly began to tremble, "You mean, all this is just a hoax!"

"Not at all, although the weapon is indeed." Gracme tilted his head and chuckled, "But the choice you made is not, and neither is the mental activity of making the choice."

"Gracme!"

"I'm here." Gracme replied with a smile.

"you wanna die!"

"I know."

Gracme was still smiling, and he glanced casually at Eartha who had been leaning silently on the back of the sofa.

Eartha shuddered, lowered her head abruptly, then glanced cautiously in Dick's direction twice, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure his attention was on the TV.

Withdrawing his gaze, one corner of Gracme's mouth slightly raised, and then disappeared instantly like a cloud of smoke.

Looking at Noshsuke who was like a bison before going mad, Gracme smiled nonchalantly, "I know I deserve to die, just like my father."

"Dr. Bonasen was, was involved?" Dick asked.

"It's not so much about participation as it is about being the main person in charge and the initiator of the experiment," Gracme said.

Dick opened his mouth, but swallowed back what he wanted to say, and finally just sighed softly: "As expected of Bonasen-Hilgard."

"Who says it's not? A genius can be lonely too." Gracme shrugged, and then he let out a long sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll say what I need to say, and it's time for me to call the curtain. Finally..."

Gracme looked at Dick, "Finally, thank you to the man you sent to me, he was excellent, and of course thank you for the gun he brought, used it without authorization, sorry."

"What? Wait..."

bang——

The crisp gunshots echoed in the room, in every earphone, and in the ears and—hearts—of everyone who enjoyed the curtain call.

Take a deep breath——

"It's really over."

After sighing with emotion - feel lost.

The author has something to say:

In fact, the plot is all over at this point, but I am still debating whether to add another chapter and explain the aftermath, but... I am lazy, let me think about it again, if there is no tomorrow or two days, then it is gone.

Finally, thank you for being able to see the last reader, and thank you for the only one who bookmarked (shouldn’t have canceled it), who cares!

When I first wrote this, I had a premonition that it would be cold, but I didn’t expect it to be so cold. I was a little bit shocked. Some of them thought about deleting the article and giving up. I kept cheering myself up in the middle, and finally I persisted!I am very proud, for myself, and for my friends who can continue to watch - thank you and goodbye.
