Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Chapter 421: The Elegy of the Ming Whale (8)

The sea breeze was blowing, and the golden sunlight was shining evenly on every corner of the island.

The most critical and important moment is approaching.

Apart from Karasuma Soshin who seems to be doing nothing, he is either staying on the top floor reading and drawing, or wandering around the island.

Everyone is doing their own thing in an orderly manner.

When the Duke and Karasuma Soshin, who had just met at night, met again in the daytime, their words and actions showed that they were just casual colleagues who were not familiar with each other.

There was none of the tension and weirdness of last night.

Whether it was his outward appearance or the way he reported the preparations to Karasuma Renya, the Duke, with a serious face, was as normal as could be throughout the whole process.

As for Karasuma Soshin, who was standing in an inconspicuous position, with a cold face that showed no emotion, he didn't even glance at the Duke.

Apart from the beginning, the only time he glanced at him condescendingly was when the Duke finished his report and turned to leave.

As for conversation, that is even more non-existent.

Karasuma Renya was used to this.

Everyone knows who is under his command.

Among the few people, only Brandy talked more except at necessary times.

As for the rest, each one spoke less than the other.

What's more, if you look into it in detail, there was a grudge between Karasuma Soshin and the Duke, one of them was an enemy and the other had a grudge.

If I talk about it casually, I can't find a single good word in a hundred sentences.

After finishing his report, the Duke, along with a group of people following him, soon disappeared behind the mechanical door on the top floor.

In the space with only three people left, after watching the Duke and his party leave, Karasuma Renye turned and walked towards the private area on the other side.

Butler Karasuma walked in another direction.

Karasuma Soshin, who was standing in the corner, glanced in the direction where Karasuma Butler was going, then followed behind Karasuma Renya.

"sit."

After entering the lounge, Karasuma Renya walked to the window and sat down on a sofa by the window.

Upon hearing this, Karasuma Soshin, who followed in, lowered his eyes and sat down on the sofa opposite Karasuma Renya.

"You saw the person from last night, didn't you?"

Karasuma Soshin raised his eyes and met Karasuma Renya's gaze, and responded in a calm tone:

"If you want to use this as bait, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive the Duke."

No matter what means the Karasuma Renya used last night, his appearance and figure were exactly the same as the one appearing in front of him now.

But just like there are no two leaves in this world that are exactly the same.

Even if they grow up in the same environment and their genes are like copy and paste, their future paths and life trajectories will not be exactly the same.

Not to mention the obvious gap in memory and experience, which is enough for anyone who is somewhat familiar with Karasuma Renya to clearly distinguish which one is real.

Which one is just a replica with only a body.

He could tell at a glance that the Duke, who was in some ways more trusted than them, would not be able to tell the difference even if he went blind immediately.

Unless, by instilling the corresponding memories into the replica, it can be temporarily disguised.

However, how could the person in front of him tolerate a low-quality copy having his memories?

Keeping this sarcasm deep in his heart, Karasuma Soshin pointed out what Karasuma Renya was most worried about at the moment.

"At other times, this wouldn't be a big deal, but the Duke now will be the biggest obstacle to this plan."

If the Duke had turned around and revealed a word to Elias, then this so-called plan of replacing one thing with another and catching a turtle in a jar would have been a complete joke.

It was confirmed that the Duke's series of crazy actions last night were due to the moment when the intentionally planted thoughts in his heart were deliberately magnified.

Karasuma Soshin's happiness came from the heart.

However, what made him happy and appreciated was not the Duke's crazy words and deeds, which were bound to leave a knot in Karasuma Renya's heart.

Instead, it was Elias who avenged his daughter and took the Duke as a pawn.

From the first moment he saw Elias, he knew that Elias had been able to keep his composure and stay in the organization for so many years, enduring until today.

There must be a trump card in hand.

Under the broad and bony skin, the fire of revenge born of love, rooted deep in the soul, was so dazzling that he locked onto him at first sight among the researchers.

Then came the familiar bone structure that brought back memories.

After that, there was that seemingly accidental encounter and temptation at dusk.

Through this test, Karasuma Soshin confirmed that the other party knew that he was Whiskey and knew clearly that he was the mastermind behind the murder of his daughter.

And the cards this person has in his hand will only be more, not less, than he originally expected.

Only if you have enough trump cards, a firm belief in revenge, and the determination to succeed.

Only when she faces his temptation that is like tearing open an unscabbed wound, and faces this enemy whom she has probably gritted her teeth against thousands of times and has engraved in her bones.

Be able to hold your breath.

However, the moment he discovered that the person who had entered the top-floor experimental area without permission was the Duke.

He was still unexpectedly amazed.

then,

The rare feeling of freshness coupled with the more important information obtained from that meeting allowed the Duke to see a pure and happy smile on Karasuma Soshin's face.

The words that added fuel to the fire were said very calmly by Karasuma Soshin, and Karasuma Renya, who heard the words, was also very calm in his heart.

This problem sounds difficult, but there are actually many ways to solve it.

Among them, the simplest and most effective way to avoid alerting the enemy is to instill the original owner's memory into the clone.

As long as the memory is instilled enough, not to mention the Duke, even rum and champagne may not be able to tell which is real and which is fake at a glance.

But... I have to say that Karasuma Soshin knows Karasuma Renya far better than anyone else in this world.

It was precisely because Karasuma Renya had no such intention at all that what Karasuma Soshin saw last night was a "Karasuma Renya" who only had an outer shell and did not even have the ability to speak.

That is why they tolerate such an empty shell replica to survive to this day.

Apart from this, the most reliable way is to make anyone who might find out keep their mouth shut forever.

only…

"The Duke cannot die for the time being."

Karasuma Renya finished the adjective in a flat tone.

It’s not that the Duke is so valuable in his heart that he is reluctant to deal with him, but the Duke is now more than just a chess piece thrown by the other party.

Still a bait.

Putting the Duke on the table at this time can only mean that the other party has more powerful cards hidden beneath the table.

If we don't eradicate it completely now, even if we deal with the Duke, the organization will be streamlined and deepened in the future, which will inevitably leave endless troubles.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

What Karasuma Renya values the most, and what he cannot afford to make any mistakes with, is the upcoming rebirth experiment.

Before the other party's cards are revealed, no matter how foolproof the preparations are, he will not be able to welcome the baptism of new life with peace of mind.

If the last trump card in the opponent's hand is aimed at the new life that he has been striving for day and night and is about to realize,

Then all his efforts in the past would have been in vain.

In this regard, Karasuma Soshin's advice is:

"Would you mind having another blind henchman?"

Karasuma Renya looked at Karasuma Soshin, who had a calm expression and seemed to be speaking casually, and asked him:

"Like Bosio and Rum?"

Karasuma Soshin nodded slightly and said without hiding anything.

"Since they have been planning for so many years just to wait for a good opportunity for revenge, I will give them a chance as they wish.

"The Duke and I have had a feud for many years. And with what happened last night, it makes perfect sense for me to strike first."

If your eyes are injured, you naturally won’t have the extra attention to other things.

Correspondingly, if someone attacks the person in charge of the experiment at such a critical moment, even he will not escape punishment.

At that time, facing him who had made a mistake and was punished and had his movements restricted, no matter how clear-headed and rational Elias was, there was no way he would let go of such a great opportunity.

After all, that was the enemy who killed his daughter and was in a rare and weak position.

If it were him, he would probably find it hard to hold back.

not to mention,

It was for the sake of his family that Elias was willing to hide his identity, cut off all his past, and no longer easily use his terrifying ability to subtly change people's cognition.

If you think carefully, there is more than just a blood feud of one life between them.

Karasuma Soshin stopped there and did not elaborate.

However, the unfinished meaning in his words was clearly seen by Karasuma Renya.

Behind this plot, Whiskey was not only targeting the Duke.

And the Duke’s life.

"it is good."

Karasuma Renya's words made the final decision.

So in the afternoon, the researchers in the laboratory suddenly heard two gunshots.

When the armed guards rushed in following the sound, they saw the door opened a crack and the Duke, who was making final preparations for tomorrow's final experiment, fell to the floor with his hands covering his bleeding eyes.

Gun smoke drifted out from the muzzle of the gun, and Karasuma Soshin, who had shot the Duke once in the left leg and once in the right eye, walked up to the Duke who was lying on the ground wailing.

He raised his foot and stepped heavily on his injured leg that was constantly oozing blood, then bent over and chuckled:

"Duke, it seems that your ability to predict the future is limited to this. Otherwise, how could you not even predict the bloody disaster today?"

"But I think you should know that some things are only suitable to be swallowed in the stomach, not to be spoken out.

It is even more inappropriate, tell me so. "

The Duke, whose mind was filled with pain, couldn't help but tremble all over when he heard this. He didn't know whether it was because of the pain or because of Karasuma Soshin's two words.

The surviving eye was filled with tears that oozed out involuntarily.

"Master Whiskey, please put down your gun."

The leading guard raised his gun, and before he could finish his words, another gunshot rang out.

This time, a bloody hole appeared on the Duke's right leg.

Seeing that Karasuma Soshin completely ignored him and didn't even give him a glance, the leading guard gritted his teeth, took out his communicator and called Karasuma butler.

"Master, please stop immediately."

As the voice of Karasuma Butler was broadcast, Karasuma Soshin paused and reluctantly moved the gun that was pointing at the Duke's other eye away.

The Duke, whose eyes were surrounded by a red circle caused by the heat from the muzzle of the gun, felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Enduring the pain and holding on to his spirit, he cried out in a mournful voice:

"Butler Karasuma, Whiskey...he wants to kill me. He hates you and wants to tamper with this experiment to kill you—"

Wuhuan Cangxin "gently" rubbed the wound on the Duke's leg a few times, looked at the Duke who fainted from the pain, and raised his foot calmly.

Then he handed the gun he had obtained from somewhere to the leading guard who was on high alert.

He spoke into the communicator in the guard's hand:
