"But it's impossible to plan to kill him just because he is a bad person, right?" Liang said, "He himself said that the assassination of the emperor seemed to be the one he led. You want to kill him because of this.
This reason?"
"Yes, and no." Joanna shook her head, "He tricked us into killing the old emperor, You Hong III, but he only made us realize his true nature as a human being - the danger he brings to this world."
Harmful...Leon remembered that Commissioner Marshall also described Wein in this way.
"Have you noticed his attitude towards the world? He is aloof and dismissive, as if everything in this world is just a chess piece for him to manipulate. But the arrogance of a person in power like him is also different from those of princes and nobles." Joanna
He glanced at Rosetta and said, "Vine Noyes, his attitude towards the world is like that of an... outsider."
"outsider?"
"That's right. I have some contact with your fellow villagers. Even you, their visitors from other worlds, have a greater sense of... belonging to this world than Vin Noyes." Joanna said, "Vin Noyes
The feeling of Yes to me is not like a real living person, but like an audience involved in the drama, a reader involved in the plot, a..."
Liang's eyes flashed: "Player?"
"...player?" Joanna didn't quite understand the word.
"It's, uh, a participant in a game..." Liang briefly explained the concept of "player". After all, there are not so many entertainment games in this world. The entertainment method in most people's minds is either playing cards.
It’s either watching dramas or playing sports. There is no real concept of “game” yet.
"Player..." Joanna chewed the word again, "I have to say that this is very appropriate. His attitude is indeed like a superior player, and the world we live in is just a game to him."
Therefore, he is aloof and disdainful of everything in the world, but he often participates in every incident with great interest. Perhaps those things that can determine the fate of other people's lives are just a fun game for Wein?
Joanna continued: "I think since you can use the word 'player' to describe Wayne Noyes, you should understand why we want to kill him."
"If Vin Noyes is just an arrogant and incompetent person, let alone a 'player', even if he compares himself to a god, we won't take a second look at him. But, this guy Vin, really
With the ability to influence and change the world, his momentary willfulness and momentary boredom may bring irreparable disaster to the world."
Leon couldn't refute for the moment. Even if he wanted to prove that Wein was a harmless guy with a bad personality, No. 7, Joanna, Barrage, and even Wein himself all admitted that he planned the attack.
The assassination of the old emperor was carried out successfully.
How could a person who could incite others to take the life of the supreme ruler of the United Empire be harmless?
"Well, although I can't completely agree with your idea of killing him, that guy Vin is indeed not a kind person." Leang sighed and followed Joanna's wishes and continued, "Then you are ready.
How to kill him? Last night, I saw with my own eyes that No. 7 shot a bullet into his throat, and then Wein took the bullet out of his throat as if nothing had happened. What he said...
Ordinary weapons can't kill him?"
"This is true. Whether it's the intelligence we collected about him or the personal practice on the 7th last night, it proves that the guy can't be killed by ordinary means." Joanna nodded, "But we can't kill him just because we haven't found him.
The right things.”
"The right thing...'key'?" This is the only thing that Leon can think of.
Joanna chuckled: "Of course it can't really be a key. No. 7 and I, as well as several of our friends, all tend to think that the so-called 'key' is a weapon, and one can kill Wei.
Yin Noyes’ special weapon.”
"And its exact name is recorded in ancient books as - 'Secret Key'."
"'Secret Key'?" Liang repeated the word and suddenly covered his head, "Hiss——"
"What's wrong?"
"Head, headache..."
I don't know what special meaning this "secret key" has, but it made Leon feel a strong needle-like pain just like the previous "Krebs Abbey".
But it was different from the last time. This time, no memory images appeared in Leon's mind, only pure pain.
Joanna took two steps forward but paused, her eyes lit up, and she slowly smiled: "You reacted to this word... maybe you are really connected to the 'Secret Key'... maybe you can really lead us
Find the 'Secret Key'!'
"Can, can you stop saying that word?" Every time he heard "Secret Key", Leon felt the pain getting a little worse.
"Sorry." Joanna helped Leon, who was about to lose his balance. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I don't know...let me, let me slow down first." Liang stumbled to the wall and sat down slowly.
