Chapter 1695 Enlightenment on the Island of God's Root
The ruins of Kageshima Island.
(Illustrative diagram)
"This deserted island actually hides something like this?"
At He Ming's invitation, Clovis followed him all the way until he saw with his own eyes the door standing deep inside the ruins of Shenneng Island, only then realizing that this invitation was probably unusual.
Moreover, the witch whose subordinates were always disguised as "biological weapons" also followed He Ming.
"How is it, Your Highness Clovis?"
He Ming glanced at CC, whose expression was calm but whose heart was beginning to tremble, then turned to Clovis and asked.
"Colonel Ming, I really can't describe how I feel at this moment. What... is this?"
Clovis gave a wry smile and returned the question to He Ming.
"The world of C. Behind this door lies the world of C. And also what your father, King Charles DI Britannia, sought."
CC answered the question.
Clovis looked at CC in surprise.
He had expected the woman to remain silent.
Unexpectedly, he revealed the truth about the door right away.
"It seems you've thought it through."
He Ming nodded, satisfied with CC's statement.
"Whether I've thought it through or not is irrelevant to the present situation. You brought me here simply so I could prove this poor fellow's ignorance, or expose Charles's plans to him. Right?"
CC said calmly.
"It is indeed something that can improve our relationship if you think this way."
He Ming smiled.
"Then, please give me your sidearm."
CC's gaze fell on the pistol hanging at He Ming's waist.
"presumptuous!"
Murasame gave a cold shout and stood directly in front of He Ming.
Other Earth Federation soldiers stationed nearby raised their guns and pointed them at CC.
"Put down your guns! Feng, don't be nervous! Miss CC can't hurt me."
When He Ming raised his hand to signal the Earth Federation soldiers around him to lower their guns, he also had Murasame Feng return to his side.
"Yes, Colonel!"
Murasame responded and returned to He Ming's side, but her gaze remained fixed on CC's side.
"Heh. It seems you have quite a few trustworthy subordinates around you."
CC ignored Murasame's oppressive gaze and looked at He Ming with a half-smile.
"It's just that everyone agrees with my path!"
He casually unholstered his gun and tossed it to CC.
CC instinctively opened her arms to take it, and was momentarily stunned.
She had expected He Ming to make things difficult for her, or even refuse to hand over his pistol, but to her surprise, He Ming was so straightforward that he didn't even draw his pistol and simply tossed her the holster.
"What? Are you thinking about how to kill me?"
Seeing CC holding the gun holster in both hands, seemingly lost in thought, He Ming spoke up.
"No. It's just that I haven't handled something like this in a long time."
CC glanced at He Ming and said, feigning composure.
After a moment's hesitation, she successfully drew her pistol and released the safety.
"Boy."
As CC adjusted the grip on the gun with her right hand, she also looked at Clovis, who was watching her and He Ming's conversation with a bewildered expression.
"Please speak, madam."
Seeing He Ming unhesitatingly throw his pistol to CC, Clovis understood that as fellow prisoners, CC's status and even level of trust were higher than his own, so he couldn't help but lower his stance.
"Heh. This ability to change sides is somewhat similar to Charles's when he was a child." CC gave a nostalgic smile before her eyes gradually turned cold.
"Kid, don't get scared to death later."
"what?"
While Clovis was still stunned, CC suddenly pointed the gun at his own head, and then...
"Bang!!"
Apart from He Ming, Murasame Feng, Clovis, and the other Earth Federation soldiers were all startled and shocked to see CC's body lying in a pool of blood.
"Colonel..."
Cun Yufeng snapped out of her daze and looked at He Ming.
"Don't panic! Also, this matter must not be leaked! Understand?"
These words were spoken to Murasame, as well as to Clovis and the Earth Federation soldiers present.
"Yes! Colonel!"
Murasame and the Earth Federation soldiers responded in unison.
However, Clovis's expression grew increasingly complicated, and he became even more uneasy.
"Could it be that, even in this state, there's still a chance to bring him back to life?"
Clovis felt that his own idea was somewhat absurd.
But reality is far more absurd than his wild imagination.
CC, who was lying in a pool of blood, suddenly opened her eyes, rubbed her temples, and slowly sat up.
Apart from the bloodstains on his face, his skull, which should have been blown off by a bullet, was completely intact.
"you!!!"
Clovis was so shocked that he took several steps back, staring in horror at CC, who was sitting on the ground rubbing her head.
"Oh? Kid, you do have some guts."
CC took a breath, stood up, dusted off his clothes, and returned the pistol to He Ming.
"Keep it, Miss CC."
He Ming did not take it back.
"Hmm? Are you disgusted that this pistol is stained with my blood? Or are you not afraid that I'll use this pistol to shoot you?"
CC raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised, picked up the holster, carefully put his pistol away, and said sarcastically.
"You can try it. But you'll have to bear the consequences."
He Ming's voice seemed to carry a hint of expectation, which made CC gradually frown.
"Tsk! What a boring man."
CC turned its attention back to Clovis.
"Young man, do you now understand what your father, King Charles, is plotting?"
Clovis placed his hand on his chest, took several deep breaths, and tried to calm his wildly beating heart before revealing a wry smile.
“Ms. CC, this is a truth that could shatter the worldview of ordinary people.”
"But look at this colonel, he's acting like nothing's wrong."
CC glanced at He Ming and said coldly.
“Colonel Ming is different. After all, he is the hero who saved the city from otherworldly monsters.”
Clovis let out a long sigh and looked at He Ming with a serious expression.
"Colonel Ming, I understand what you mean! If there is anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask. I only ask that I be able to live a peaceful and wealthy life after this is all over."
"A wealthy man? Your Highness Clovis, aren't you underestimating yourself a bit?"
Seeing Clovis lower himself to beg for the future of a wealthy man, He Ming reciprocated.
"The Earth Federation Forces Headquarters has been awaiting Prince Clovis's reply for a long time. If Prince Clovis is willing to participate in the battle to defeat the evil Emperor Charles DI Britannia and restore justice to the world, I can use the authority of the Punishment Commander to recommend you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Expeditionary Force against the Empire."
Clovis's expression changed slightly, and he finally lowered his head and spoke.
"Then, I'll trouble you, Colonel Ming."
