Chapter 417 I will protect you
Nicole said: "I have this ability after I wake up from a long sleep. It feels like this ability has become a part of me."
It sounds unbelievable, but now is not the time to dwell on it.
Luffy proposed: "Tell me about the incident in the Middle East 50 years ago."
"Oh, 50 years ago," Nicole recalls, "I remember that was the last time we acted together.
At that time, we almost wiped out several large sales and trading networks and breeding bases of bone erosion butterflies all over the world.
It's ridiculous that the United Nations actually thinks it's their credit.With their puppet methods, what can they do? Nicole said sarcastically, "Finally, we decided to get rid of the source of all evil."For a long time, the people in that village lived on the bone erosion butterfly, and they made huge profits from it, and they didn't mind the misfortune they brought to this world at all.
So we burned that village and killed all of them. "Nicole's eyes sparkled when she said this, without any mercy.
Lu Fei actually knew it in his heart. When Shen Yan talked about the bone erosion butterfly, he guessed that his village probably made a living by selling the bone erosion butterfly.
After going through so many things, Luffy became more and more disgusted with such things that caused so many tragedies in the world.He even felt in his heart that Nicole and the others did a good job.
"After slaughtering the village? What did you do? Why did you become Nicole?"
"After Tucun, we decided to separate. On the day we parted, one of us gave each of us a new identity, telling us that we could live with this identity and start our new life. And I, from that day on, I It became NicoVerna. I was a schoolgirl from middle class Poland who came to America to study design. I still use this identity to this day. Until…”
"Until five years ago, bone erosion butterflies appeared on the market again."
"Yes. I was very surprised by the reappearance of the bone erosion butterfly. My companion from back then found me and told me about it. But we have already started a new life, so we decided not to interfere. Instead, we will send the news to Go out and carry out the suppression through official channels."
That's why I went to the Middle East for the first time, Luffy thought, now the timeline is finally clear.
"I have a question, if you don't tell me, I will struggle in my heart for a long time..." Luffy always had a question in his mind.
Nicole said with a smile, "If you are asking about age, I can tell you very accurately, I should be 84 this year."
In fact, Lu Fei was not that surprised. As early as Shen Yan, he saw this trace of agelessness, and he was guessing at that time, what caused it.
"Bone Corrosion Butterfly..." Luffy said, "It seems that it is not only the strongest psychedelic drug in the world, but also has the effect of immortality. It is no wonder that people have been flocking to her for so many years gone."
"It can't be regarded as longevity. We will still die if we are seriously injured, and we will also grow old, but the change in age is later than that of ordinary people." Nicole said: "Live too long may not be a good thing."
"A few others, do you still have contact now?"
"A few, not many, and a few other people believe that you have also investigated. We occasionally have some business dealings in private. I mean, regular business."
Luffy expressed reservations about what Nicole said, "What about the other NicoVerna?"
"I don't know anything about her," Nicole replied.
"You never thought about your fake identity for so many years. Who is this person?"
"No." Nicole said absolutely, "If you stand in my position, you will know that some questions are not allowed to be asked."
"In that case, why did you tell me this?" Luffy asked, "To be honest, I never thought that I would find anything from you today."
Nicole looked at Luffy and said, "Why? I think maybe it's because I've lived in this world as NicoVerna for too long. So..." Nicole looked up at the ceiling, "At least, before I die , I hope that no matter who it is, at least one person can remember my name, I mean, my real name."
Luffy also vaguely felt Nicole's unspeakable concealment, and she seemed to have made up her mind to die when she said these words just now.
What is she afraid of? Luffy will never say anything about today's conversation.
Or was she being watched all along?
Even if the two of them were talking about normal topics today, as long as Nicole had direct contact with her, would she be in danger?
No, I can't let anyone die from this case.
Thinking of this, Luffy held Nicole's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."
Nicole shook her head and said, "No, it's useless. Mr. Lu, I can feel the strength in you. However, the others are different from me." Nicole looked at Luffy worriedly and said, "They don't I'm so easy to deal with. They hate this world much more than I do."
After finishing speaking, she took out the hand that Luffy was holding, and continued, "Mr. Lu, I am very grateful to you. This secret has been lingering in my heart for many years. Tonight, it can finally be over."
Luffy was shocked by the realization in her eyes, he said firmly: "No, Nicole, I'm serious. I can really protect you. I still have a lot of things that I haven't figured out, please believe me, and please don't give up."
"Hegara, my real name is Hegara." Nicole, no, Hegara looked at Luffy and said, "I have said everything I can say. I can't say the rest, There is no way to say it. Mr. Lu, I can see that you are a good person, and what you just said was sincere. It's just..."
Hegara looked up at Lu Fei and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you very much. But it's already late today, I'm going back."
As she stood up to leave, Luffy held her arm and said, "Don't go, Hegara, stay. I promise you won't get hurt a little bit."
With tears in her eyes, Hegara stepped forward, gave Luffy a hug, then kissed him lightly on the cheek, and whispered in his ear: "VH, he is the key. "
After speaking, she took her arm out of Luffy's hand, and walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
Lu Fei stared blankly at her receding back, feeling his heart tighten and it was difficult to breathe.He seemed to be able to see the feeling of Nicole's vivid life slipping from his hands.
