"I knew ten years ago that you killed Chen Jinnian and his wife, robbed them of their research results, and made Chen Wei an orphan. But at that time, I was too cowardly to accept the fact that you betrayed me. I deluded myself and thought,As long as you don't investigate, you may not be the murderer."

The setting sun suddenly sank to the horizon, the faint light finally disappeared completely, and the night swallowed everything in sight.Rosie leaned against the instrument, staring at Victor's direction, "It was I who favored you, and I will always be sorry to Chen Wei. Because of my favoritism, you abused the imitation of the Brain Lock to harm other members of the 'shu', it's all my fault."

"How...how did you find the instrument behind the wall?" In the darkness, Victor asked incredulously, "I obviously..."

"You obviously came here a few hours ago, arranged the electromagnetic wave generator in advance, covered it with a false wall, and even carefully removed the traces on the snow, right?" Rosie said lightly, "I shouldn't have found out, but the paint that was used to paint that false wall smelled too strong."

In the darkness out of sight, Victor's face instantly turned pale.He made a fatal mistake, forgetting that Rosie's five senses were several times sharper than ordinary people, and she could easily detect abnormalities around her.

There is no fresh paint smell in an old church, and Rosie can trace the source of the smell to find that the problem is the wall behind the Madonna.

Rosie looked as usual: "In the battle of God's Residence, I saw Piper who was manipulated by the instrument. I guessed that you would use the same method to deal with me. You agreed to the invitation to meet so quickly, which further confirms myconjecture."

"Since you have seen through my mind, why did you come to meet me?" Victor said in a deep voice, his blue eyes were particularly dark and prey, "The device will take effect soon. Although it can only control you for a while, it is enough."

Rosie laughed softly and shook her head: "Unfortunately, your instrument won't work. Cecina Gezel buried a metaphor in the Lost City. If the lock of the brain is compared to a lock, thenThe black ring is the key to open the lock. In other words, it matches the function of the lock of the brain."

He twirled the black ring between his fingers, and the magnetic field changed invisibly around him, "The principle of the black ring is to change the flow of air by means of a strong magnetic field, while the lock of the brain uses regular electromagnetic waves to affect brain waves. The two are in the same line.", so letting Cesina and Dashawn exchange rings is the final answer to the lost city puzzle."

"The imitation product developed by Chen Jinnian and his wife has the same principle as the brain lock itself. As long as the black ring is used to accurately generate a shielding magnetic field, it will not be affected." Rosie slightly curled her lips, "Victor, I am probably the only one in the world.The person who knows you best, I know all the tricks you play in front of me."

Victor gritted his teeth, his handsome face shrouded in haze.Seeing that the plan was about to fail, he made up his mind and reached behind his back through the dark night to get the pistol hidden in his waist.

A thin wind blade swung over, whistling and cutting off the gun body, "—For example, you are planning to draw the gun and kill me now."

The barrel of the gun fell to the ground with a clatter, and Victor held the half-cut pistol in horror, his fingers trembling.In such a dark environment, how can Rosie see?Is this person... a monster?

"Even if you see through the trap I set up, so what?" Victor suppressed his fear, and said sternly, "The peace talks will eventually fail, and I will not agree to your conditions. Civil war in the second district is inevitable! The strength of the West is not inferiorIn the east, once the war starts, Robert will help the west, and then you won't even be able to keep East 1!"

"But I'm not here to make peace with you." Rosie said lightly and delicately, "I'm just like you, I'm not interested in drinking, and I'm also here to delay time."

Victor was startled suddenly, and looked at Rosie leaning against the wall.The moon rose at this moment, and the bright light shined through the flower window, and the colorful shadows of light and dark set off the church in a gorgeous and solemn way. Rosie turned her head to look at him, and there was a sly light in her eyes, as if she had succeeded in a prankchildren.

It was a completely unfamiliar expression. The Rosie that Victor knew was always cold to outsiders, but gentle to him like a teacher. No matter what, she was solemn and reserved, and she didn't bother to use any tricks.It never occurred to him that Rosie had already been taken over by another person, and she had a rogue style all over her body.

Rosie fumbled in her pocket and tossed a metal ball.It was a portable projector. The ball rolled a few times on the ground, layers of parts unfolded automatically, and a holographic projection image appeared in the void.

"When I'm talking with you, my earphones are full of reports from frontline officers." Rosie looked at the projection, and the picture showed the partition door of West 1 in the middle of the war.City, "Just now, good news came from the front line, West 1 has fallen."

Victor stared fixedly at the picture, the flickering firelight cast on his face, as if reflecting a lifeless puppet.His eyes lost their luster, his monotony was terribly monotonous, and his voice was dry and hoarse: "You have long... planned it? So you, invite me to meet on the ground, so that the eastern army can move underground."

"Rosie...you liar! You once said that you hate war, and you don't want innocent people to die in war!" The broken words gradually strung together into sentences, and Victor's speed of speaking became faster and faster, and the shock made him lose his sanityHowever, the anger made him regain his voice, "Your ideals, your dignity, and your arguments in front of the adjudicator time and time again are to prevent the spread of the war, have you forgotten!"

Rosie was silent.The holographic projector broadcast the battle situation in real time, the loud noise of artillery fire rolled down in the silence, and the leader in white military uniform lowered his head with a sad expression.

"I'm not the Rosie you're familiar with. I have people I have to save and things I have to do." His tone was still firm, "For him, I am willing not to be the original me, but also to give up the power of the second district."Hold it in my hand. I can bear the crime caused by killing alone, as long as he is alive, no matter what."

Victor laughed angrily: "What is the difference between you and me like this? You still have the face to accuse me of being unworthy of being a leader, and keep saying that I don't care about the people, but in fact, you and I are just doing the same thing."thing!"

"It's no use talking, go back to the court martial in the East." Rosie said calmly, "It's a foregone conclusion, you can't wait for Robert's assistance, and Piper and the killer will take over West 1 in a few hours. IEleven-seat conference will be convened in the capacity of leader, those adjudicators in the west are useless, seeing you down, they will never resist again."

Victor didn't make a sound for a while, and he didn't try to contact the army of West 1 to take over the battle.He knows all the habits and details of Rosie's battle plan, and Rosie is also very aware of his dangers, so he is dismissed and lured into the church, just to prevent the possibility of Victor commanding the West 1st Army to fight.

There is nothing Rosie can't do that she wants to do.After so many years, he was still that naive boy in front of Rosie. If he tried to contact the officer of West 1, the other party would kill him.

Victor suddenly felt powerless, as if waking up from a dream that had lasted for ten years, and the grand event in the dream ended quietly.The ten years he spent in the Second District, but it was an illusion of limited time, gradually drained away like gravel.

"What you said just now is all false?" He asked dreamily, with infinite confusion in his tone, "You just said that you have never been my enemy."

Rosie was stunned for a while, eyes filled with the emotion of can't be understood or explained, and returned to calm again."Of course it's fake." He replied, subconsciously tangling his hair with his fingertips, "Victor, do you still believe this kind of words to coax children?"

"Is it a lie to say that you want to jointly govern the second district with me?" Victor asked stubbornly, his eyes seemed to have the shadow of the boy from before, "Is it a lie to shake hands with me?"

"It's all lies made up to delay time, and has no real meaning." Rosie said coldly, "Why, you sent people to hunt down Huailing and me so many times, and you still want to live in peace with me?"

Victor's face was pale, and his blue eyes looked at Rosie in bewilderment.After losing everything in a game with Rosie, he loses his fighting spirit and tries to gain a little mercy from his opponent.

He never cared about Rosie's kindness towards him, thinking that she was a nagging and troublesome nanny. It wasn't until the person stood in front of him with the posture of a king that he realized that the other party was not nagging and not much.Thing, Rosie is just... wary of people she values.

But now, he has been drawn out of that precious boundary, the king has prepared cold calculations for him, and there is no more tenderness to treat each other sincerely.

"You always say I'm ruthless, but the one who's really ruthless isn't you, Rosie?" Victor murmured.

Unmoved, Rosie reached out to him under the statue of the Virgin and sighed, "Come with me, Victor. You have already lost."

"Walk with you?" Victor smiled and looked up at the statue of the Madonna in pity. Rosie's expression was almost the same as that of the statue. "Will God forgive my sins?"

"God will not forgive your sins, but only judge your sins." Rosie said with downcast eyes.The clear moonlight moved on the ground, and the complex and gorgeous shadows of the flower window turned to his feet, and then climbed onto his body. The colorful bunches were like countless heavenly flowers blooming from a snow-white military uniform.

Victor wanted to say something, but he suddenly heard gunshots from the heights of the church, and turned his head slowly.This moment seemed to be stretched into countless seconds. Rosie watched in a daze as Victor turned his neck at the bottom of the steps, turned his head, showing a look of astonishment, a bullet flew from the side, smashed his forehead, and tore his skull into pieces.Thousands of blood beads trembled and floated in the air.

Plasma from the burst was everywhere, splattering Rosie and the face of the statue.A tear of blood rolled down the cheek of the Virgin who embraced the Son.

It seems that it is preordained that they will end where the wheel of life begins to turn.

* "Invite Tao"

Rosie froze in place for a long time, until Parisa on the second floor put away the accessories of the sniper rifle, went downstairs with the gun on her back, and walked in front of him.

The young man with blond hair and green eyes just glanced at Victor's bloody corpse with disgust, as if seeing some unappetizing scum, he turned his head away.

He took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket, handed it to Rosie, and said, "Your face is dirty."

Rosie was still standing there, not seeing him.Parisa didn't care, she folded the handkerchief and put it back in her pocket.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?" He looked at Rosie.

"You..." Rosie came back to her senses, her eyes were red, and she said stagnantly, "When did you come in?"

"When you were arguing, the sun had set and the moon hadn't risen yet." Parisa said warmly, "There is also an entrance behind this church, and I slipped from there to the second floor."

Rosie pressed her sore forehead, no, that wasn't what he wanted to ask.His thoughts were in turmoil, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence at all: "Why... kill Victor?"

"Because I hate him." Parisa smiled, with a trace of resentment in her elegant green eyes, "Ten years ago, after the bloody Christmas, I made up my mind to do this. Until today, I finally got what I wanted.”
