old dream

Chapter 25 Ambition
Before walking out of the factory, Giovanni turned his head as if he had suddenly remembered something, and asked Mr. No. [-] from a distance:

"Are you going to choose that monster as your fangs?"

Mr. One did not answer.

"As another fang, I give you a good piece of advice." Giovanni said to himself:
"You saw what he looked like just now. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Because as soon as he stopped thinking, those empty eyes with no temperature emerged from Giovanni's heart again, as well as the madness that he did not hesitate to bury himself and the enemy in the ruins of the aisle.

He couldn't tell whether he was really thinking about who he said to the lightkeeper, or because he felt some kind of threat.

If that monster was just fighting with instinct, what would happen if it became a fang?

Is it really a good thing for the five hands and the hometown who are in delicate checks and balances?

……

Colin's leather bag was stocked with first aid items, in addition to bandages, iodine, sutures, and morphine dressings.

Luca silently wrapped a bandage on his hand, watching Colin skillfully deal with his own and Ricardo's wounds.After observing for a while, he opened his mouth and asked:

"Have you ever stayed on the battlefield?"

"Didn't we all escape from there?"

At that time, the entire Sinal was considered a battlefield, and Colin wondered why Luca asked this.

"I mean the military or something," Luca said.

He may have seen some clues from the way he handled the wound.

"No." Colin denied with a smile, "You're kidding me, how old was I then."

"Yes." Luca was surprised by his unreasonable thoughts.

Although Colin felt weaker and weaker, the wounds on his body had already healed halfway.The body is overdrawing its own life as if it does not know it is tired.

He and Luca looked at the potion on the ground, which was dark brown liquid, only about two milliliters in total.

"You use it first." Luca said, Colin's situation was more critical.

At this time, he could only choose to believe Giovanni.If it's fake, they'll never try to find Julio's place again.

Colin picked up the syringe, which has no disposable substitute, and most of it needs to be recycled.The glass tube body is marked with scales, and the upper and lower ends are wrapped in brass.The double jaw and pusher part are quite delicate annular structures.The plunger is threaded for precise dose injection.

Fortunately, the craftsmanship of making the needles is good enough, not too thick or distorted.

Finding the vein, Colin pierced the needle, and the piston slowly rotated and rose with the thrust, sending the inhibitor into the body.Then wipe the needle with alcohol and hand it to Luca.

At this time, there are not too many hygiene issues to consider, and Luca's wound has long been covered with Colin's blood.

Seeing Luca injecting himself into his arm, Colin didn't know what to say for a while.

"I didn't expect you to take such a risk." He said after a long time.

"It's the clue on my side that there is a problem, I can't say it at all." Luca said lightly.

The two did a simple examination for Ricardo, at least there was no damage to the bones, but they didn't know the inside of the skull.

Colin didn't remember that his head fell to the ground, so it shouldn't be a big problem.Even in prison, Ricardo insisted on exercising, and his strong muscles protected his body well.

When the two put the unconscious Ricardo into Luca's car together, it was already afternoon.Originally adapted to the smell of oil in the factory, it is particularly refreshing to smell the rural atmosphere of the southern suburbs.

To get out of that old factory building alive.Colin had a feeling of being out of the world.

At this time, Luca said seemingly casually:

"How about doing things for me in the future, Colin."

"I've been doing things for you all the time."

"I don't want this kind of vassal, whether in name or in substance. Or a piece of loose sand gathered by rake and dues."

"What I'm going to build is an organization that's better suited to this era. Bosses and employees, for example."

Or, the prime minister and his government; the commander and the modern army.

"It's so big that I need to think about it," Colin said.

Maybe Luka will be a good leader, but Colin won't hand over his autonomy easily either.

"I promise you will get more than now, and in some places you can even live like the mayor." Luca's voice was low:

"Those old relationships that belonged to hundreds of years ago are long overdue for the curtain call."

Maybe, Luca has bigger ambitions and a sharper sense of smell than he imagined.

"Think about it, but as long as I can get the potion, I will have your share." Luca said: "One yard is one yard, this is compensation for the problem of the news."

Colin wasn't interested in ruling the underworld, just wanted to grab enough money from the coming age of bootlegging to achieve some way to restore memory and safely enter the transcendent.

So there is no conflict of interest with Luka. If he can seize more power, it will even be a help to himself.What's more, he just saved his life.

Regardless of the motives behind it, if it's Luka who is at the top, it's at least a lot better than everyone else.

Please help as much as necessary.Colin thought.

……

After changing out of the blood-stained clothes in Luca's car, Luca's driver started the redstone engine and sent them back to the river port area.

When the car was halfway through, Colin felt his breathing gradually calm down.The inhibitor worked.

After that, Colin deliberately picked a place far away from Ji Lian's house to get off.

He has been hiding Ji Lian's existence from Luca.

Since Giovanni left the inhibitor in the factory building, Mr. No. [-] didn't say anything from beginning to end, didn't help with treatment or lift people, and just sat quietly in the back row of the car.

But Colin knew that at some unexpected moment, he would suddenly appear in front of his eyes again.

Seeing Colin supporting Ricardo, Luca lit a cigarette and said, "It's better to find someone to take a look. If the problem is serious, then contact me."

He was referring to the unconscious Ricardo.Colin nodded.

Entered a hotel in front of Luca.After watching his car leave on the second floor, he went out directly through the back door.Go around to another road and stop the carriage, and come to the slums deep in the river port area.

As soon as Ji Li'an's door was opened, an ethereal and distorted opera girl's voice came out, and the melody was also mixed with subtle beeps.

Colin froze for a moment, then saw a small record player playing vinyl.The copper trumpet spreads and blooms like a flower.The craftsmanship is actually very simple, but it is also very beautiful.

Colin took a few glances and said, "I didn't expect you to still have this interest."

"The people downstairs bought it." Ji Li'an said, "I don't want to suffocate myself here."

The so-called people downstairs are mostly prostitutes.Ji Lian has a good relationship with them, and sometimes the prostitutes will help her with things when it is inconvenient to go out.

Colin helped Ricardo to lay flat on the armless seat and said:

"Check it out for him?"

Because of some kind of coincidence, Ji Lian and Ricardo have known each other for a long time.Because Ricardo's parents put all their efforts into sending him to a mission school, he actually used to be a classmate with Ji Lian.Of course, this was before Ji Lian entered a special training group.

And Ji Lian herself doesn't seem to be impressed by this.After all, Ricardo was not very impressive at that time.

"Have you seen it?" Ji Lian asked.

"There doesn't seem to be a problem with the bones, it's just that I don't know what to do here." Colin pointed to his head.

Ji Lian poked Ricardo's upper body with tweezers, always feeling that she didn't want to touch Ricardo.

"The problem with the head, I don't know what to think..."
