Chapter 9 Bodyguards
When he woke up, Danny Byrne found himself lying in a cabin.
Instinctively, he sat up quickly, pulled out his gun, but felt empty.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so nervous." A voice came from behind him.
Byrne turned his head to see Renault sitting on a couch with a bottle of wine in his hand.
Picking up a wine glass, Renault poured the bright red liquor into the glass, and then put it in the hand of the robot next to him, who came to Bourne with the wine glass in his hand: "It's with you, sir." ”
Bourne took it slowly.
"That's right." Renault laughs and says, "Learn to relax, nervous emotions don't help you make good judgments." ”
Byrne replied without hesitation: "I am a bodyguard, and my job is to find the enemy in a second, draw a gun and kill him, and at the same time push the employer away from the enemy's crosshairs." ”
Renaud smiled, "Sounds pretty busy, no wonder you were able to push Raul away at that time." But now that there are no enemies for you to look for, you can relax. ”
"There are no enemies...... "Byrne chewed lightly on the meaning of the words, and his originally wary eyes gradually softened.
He looked at his chest, where there used to be a hole, but it was no longer there, and there was not a single scar visible on the smooth skin.
"You saved me?" He said that although he already knew the answer, he couldn't help but ask.
"I almost couldn't get it back." Renault replied: "You were bleeding profusely, your heart and spleen were broken, and you had a large blood clot in your lungs...... In fact, it is not difficult to save, the problem is that time is urgent, and you may die in the next second at any time...... You've finally made it through. ”
"Why did you save me?"
"I just think you're not bad, you can do it, and you don't look like a bad person."
Danny Byrne had an incredible look on his face as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "Not like a bad guy?" You're saying that as a bunch of scoundrels wanted, the reason you saved me was because I didn't look like a bad guy? This is simply ridiculous. ”
"Behind every absurd thing is usually some powerless tragedy." Renault raised his glass to Byrne and drank it down. "We are wanted, but wanted people are not the same as villains," he said. On the contrary, the people you work for are the real villains. Check it out. ”
He clicked the button in his hand, and a large image appeared on the wall, which showed Brackham and Bert Raul being interrogated. These two men were obviously not backbone people, and they easily confessed that they had colluded with the BaZulu to sell arms.
Byrne was dumbfounded, and he looked at Renault: "God witness, I don't know about this, how can they do this!" ”
"I believe Elizabeth has told us." Renaud poured himself a glass of wine again: "You were not the one responsible for escorting her, it was the original bodyguard who suddenly fell ill and had to let you protect her." Originally, you just had to send her to the place to complete the mission, but I didn't expect to run into us. ”
Byrne looked frustrated: "This is the first time I've done such a big mission, and I didn't expect it to be messed up." ”
"You can't be blamed for that." Renault shrugged.
No one can resist the impact of Tycos, not even Renault, in the face of a group of monsters, Bourne's defeat is not a crime of war, it can only be said that the gap is too big.
"For a bodyguard, a failure is a failure, and there is no reason." Byrne drank the wine from his mouth in one gulp, and used the bitter wine to dilute the bitterness in his heart.
The ultimate bodyguard he had dreamed of becoming had been shattered by this defeat - no one would hire a bodyguard who failed on his first mission.
Then he looked at Renault, as if remembering something, and his eyes were full of surprise: "How did you do it?" I mean......"
He gestured with his hand as the gun flew up, then pointed to his face, apparently asking about Renault's telepathy and Nava's transformation.
Renault smiled.
"It's a long story, do you want to hear it?"
Byrne nodded desperately.
After confirming that Renault had no ill will towards him, Byrne opened his mind and curiosity began to take over.
Renault began to tell their story.
He spoke slowly, in a leisurely tone, but with power in every word.
He talked about their lives and deaths in order to complete their mission, about their battles with the gods, what happened when they returned, and the bizarre and incomprehensible until the final mystery was solved.
When he heard that the new Federation was experimenting with battle heroes for their own selfishness, Byrne was also furious.
He shook his head again and again: "How can they be like this, how can they be like this?" ”
It can be seen that this is a young, energetic young man with dreams at the same time.
"I used to think that only me and my comrades were being treated unfairly, but when I came here, I found that the situation was far worse than I thought. In terms of crime, the sale of arms to the enemy is by no means any less than what happens on Earth. The world is corrupting...... At a rate faster than we could have imagined. ”
After saying this, Renaud stood up: "Everything that should be said has been said, your injury is just right, and you still need to rest, just rest here for two days, there is food in the room." ”
Then he walked outside.
"Can I go out?" Byrne asked.
Renault looked back at him and said, "Sorry, not yet." ”
Renault walked out and locked the door.
Byrne looked at him, motionless.
Leaving the room and taking a few steps down the hallway, Renault pushed open another door.
Claire, Nora and the others were waiting in the room.
On the hologram opposite, Bourne was sitting like a rooster, as if thinking about something.
"He was hit hard today." Nava said with a laugh.
"I don't understand, sir." Tycos scratched his scalp and said, "Although this kid is okay, is it necessary to put so much effort into him?" I mean, I can take out ten of them with one person. He has no power and does not even belong to us. ”
"Martha was once not part of us, but now she's a member of the Free Heart." Renault replied: "If a force wants to develop and grow, it is not enough to rely on the strength of elites. It needs a system, and it needs a steady stream of new talents to join us. Resting on our laurels, because we have some ability to actively distinguish ourselves from other human beings, this is tantamount to isolating ourselves from the masses, which is the most stupid behavior. Don't let yourself be on top, don't be detached from the masses, only by putting yourself in the sea of the masses can you be invincible. Yes, the warriors of the Free Heart are elite, elites with special abilities, but because of this, we need the help of others even more. That's true for Parma, that's true for Sarah, so is Bourne, and there will be more talented people joining us in the future, understand? ”
Speaking of this, Renault glanced around at everyone around him.
This was said to Tycos, but it was also spoken to everyone.
Everyone replied at the same time: "Understood!" ”
Renault then turned to Martha: "How's it going?" ”
The Martha man made an OK gesture: "What you explained has been done." ”
"Well done."
Renault patted her, then turned to the virus: "Ike, is the identification code ready?" ”
The virus nodded: "I used Blackcam's identification code as a sample, and I copied a batch to ensure that it could pass the test." But be careful, that's not the only thing there. ”
The military's defense system is not all based on facial recognition, but also includes odors, fingerprints, retina, voiceprints, identification codes, and access codes.
Fortunately, there is a virus in the identification code, Nava in the identity, Martha in the access code, and Carmela, the basic problems can be solved.
"With me, there will be no trouble." Carmella said proudly.
"With me here, I'm not afraid of trouble." Wang Yile also added without showing weakness.
Tycos snorted: "I'm not afraid of trouble if I'm here." ”
"Come on, you're a professional troublemaker." Martha said disdainfully. She's only 14 years old, and that's not something she can say at her age, so usually this situation says just one thing: Martha is mind-reading again, and she's just saying someone's thoughts.
Tycos was furious: "Whose idea did you plagiarize? ”
"Everyone." Martha replied with a grin.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, get ready to act." As Renault's words fell, everyone opened the bags in their hands.
Inside is the military uniform of the Tianhe Fleet.
Picking up their military uniforms and changing into them, everyone walked out of the room, and in the open space outside, a shuttle was waiting quietly.
