Chapter 279 Maintaining the Status Quo

"There is no need to tell others that the status quo is enough."

The gray-haired boy named 01 said this firmly.

"It is estimated that except for me, everyone else is ignorant about the issue of life and death. In this case, it is better to let them leave safely without knowing anything, isn't it?"

"If that's your decision, are you qualified to represent others?"

Annan didn't mean to be so sharp, he was simply curious about the gray-haired boy's thoughts.

"I am their leader, and I am qualified to represent them. Unless, during this period, someone begins to understand the issue of life and death. At that time, I will make it clear to that person."

The boy acted very mature and steady, and Annan said there was no problem.

"I said, don't you want to continue living?"

In fact, Annan felt that it was almost done here, but he did not leave just like that. He wanted to find out what these children with super powers really thought.

For no other reason than to know.

"Can we really survive?"

The gray-haired boy snorted coldly.

"If what you say is true, if the research plan for superpowers wants to make further breakthroughs, it will not be possible for decades, and it may even take hundreds of years to make progress. The technology used to create us is too far ahead of its time. , there is no way we can wait so long.”

The boy didn't look away so much as he completely understood the reality.

Not giving up, just accepting.

"The man with gold-rimmed glasses you mentioned, I have some impressions. He should be the leader of the superpower project. His disgusting behavior is just to make us panic, so we can't As he wishes, since he wants us to be exposed to the public, we should do the opposite!”

"What a coincidence, I thought so too."

Annan even thought about whether to simply kill all the superpowers. This would also be able to get revenge on the King of the Ring to some extent.

Of course, he just thought about it. This was always unrealistic and too cruel. It felt like just venting his anger.

"So now you understand, let us live here quietly. Anyway, it won't be long before things will be over."

"Is it because you know that you are not going to die soon, so you continue to call yourself by your number?"

Annan heard that many other children had given themselves a name. Under Veronica's care and encouragement, many children became much livelier, except for the boy in front of him who was a little too mature.

"It's all the same. We people have forgotten the past. We don't know our own life experience. Since we can remember, we have lived in that cold research institute and been studied by others. The so-called number cannot be Is it a kind of name?"

The boy named 01 probably really has his own opinions and ideas.

"Okay, then I don't have anything to ask. Anyway, I wish you well."

If Annan had his way, he wouldn't mind helping a group of children with super powers.

In fact, he really has a way.

However, the condition of using black magic to extend the lives of all children is the lives of other people.

Annan was not very close to these children, and he did not think that they would have a bright future if they continued to live. It was better to let their pace end here naturally.

"Annan...if it were you..."

When she walked out of the house where nine children with super powers were hidden, Veronica, who was following behind, couldn't help but ask questions in a low voice.

"With your black magic, can you..."

"Even if you don't use my black magic, there are still a lot of black magic in the world that can extend the lives of those children. But, what's the price?"

Annan didn't need to turn his head to observe the lady's expression, and he knew what she was thinking.

If he was right, it might be empathy.

After all, not too long ago, an orphanage run by this beautiful woman was destroyed by an out-of-control black magic incident.

Veronica can't help but use her brain, which is understandable to a certain extent.

But even so, Annan couldn't agree to this.

"Veronica, don't act rashly, don't forget our identities, just do what the child said and let them spend their last days quietly."

In the end, Veronica could only sigh.

"Long time no see, Annan."

The next day, Annan came to Roderick's home in the city center as promised.

Roderick, whom he hadn't seen for a while, felt no different to Annan. To be honest, he probably started to carry an invisible majesty about him.

"Let's stop chatting. Now that you're back, it's time to start preparing for the next step."

The two didn't chat for long, and then got into the real topic.

That is, about how to deal with Eero of the Coulier Gang.

"During your absence, that bastard Eero is about to take over the entire Coulier Gang. It won't take long for this gang to become a big local gang again. It will be very difficult to deal with him then. It’s extremely difficult.”

"Roderick, have you met the person I introduced you to?"

"Yes, I have met with Mr. Bayonet several times and talked a lot... If it hadn't been confirmed that we have an elite white knight here, we might have assassinated that bastard before you came back."

Annan would introduce the bayonet to Roderick, not only to arrange a place for people to rest, but also to enhance their combat effectiveness against the enemy.

So far, they have learned that Eero of the Coulier Gang is actually a subordinate of a certain Lord of the Rings. Some of the targeted bad behaviors committed by the other party in the past should have been instructed by the Lord of the Rings behind them.

Whether it is to weaken the King of the Ring's control over the city, or to fish out the other party behind the scenes through Erro, they all have a common goal and can cooperate.

Erro may not know where his boss is now. He may be just a controlled puppet, but maybe he can find some clues and find the real target.

Bayonet was previously besieged in the capital and lost a lot of strength. Even if he has not fully recovered, he is still a powerful King of the Ring. If he wants to assassinate or kidnap Eero, he can still do it when the target is unprepared. Arrived.

However, after the bayonet was slightly settled and he was about to take action, he found that there was a familiar elite white knight here, which made it difficult for him to take action.

After observing for a while, Bayonet finally decided that there was no problem. As long as they solved the problem as quickly as possible and everything was resolved quickly, it should not arouse the suspicion of the white knight and attract the elite white knight. look.

Now that Annan is back in the capital, it's time to take action.

"I'll listen to you. I feel like I can't help much."

Annan didn't think he was very powerful in combat. To deal with him, he only needed a few men and a few automatic rifles.

"Rodrick, anyway, tell me your current plan first."

I've been sick for a few days and I'm finally feeling much better today...

You should also take care of your health.
