Chapter 89: Great Love Fills the Space Between People
"Little brother, want to hear a joke?"
After a few seconds, Shamil finally accepted the reality, but inexplicably started telling jokes. "In such a background, after the Great Disaster, the炎黄 people were the first to revive, and their military, economy, and culture are all more advanced than ours here, so they were the first to establish a unified bank that circulates throughout the eastern continent..."
Ye Huan nodded, after the Great Calamity, it's said that the Yan Huang people only took three hundred years to recover their vitality, so being able to establish a bank isn't anything to be surprised about.
"Did this joke happen in a bank?"
"Right, the Third Empire of Yanhuang, the Flowing Wind Family Bank!" Shamir smiled wryly: "That was one day, a man went to the bank to withdraw money, behind him was a beauty looking at him with a silly face, shrinking and timid like an old farmer from the countryside, so she deliberately joked with him saying: Sir, are you here to deposit money? What a coincidence, I'm here to withdraw money!
Ah, you're saving money, what do you want to do?
Nothing much, I just wanted to discuss with you, look, anyway you want to save money and I want to withdraw money, so can't you just give me the money directly? This way we both will be convenient!
The man thought for a moment and felt it was very reasonable, so he immediately gave the woman a bag of gold coins.
Shamil spread his hands out, indicating that the joke was over.
"What? Ah! Haha!"
What a cold joke, Ye Huan didn't hear any humor in it, but the old man was telling jokes, he had to cooperate and flatter him, "What an interesting joke, this guy is really stupid, he was actually cheated out of a bag of gold coins!"
"Alright, don't laugh if you don't want to!" Shamir also knew the joke wasn't funny, but he kept a straight face and said: "But I'm telling you, this is true. The idiot in your mouth is Bond!"
"Is Bond stupid?" Ye Huan pointed at her own head.
"It's not just that he's stupid, Bond's brain can't even compare to a ten-year-old child!" Shamil said with discontent: "But it's such an idiot, a madman who talks nonsense all day, so stupid that even a new prison guard dares to knock him to the ground, and yet he escaped! I, who have hundreds of brothers and wasn't a bad White Priest in my day, couldn't escape, but this moron managed to escape from over a thousand people surrounding him, and was only discovered half an hour later!"
"Damn it!" In the end, Shamir couldn't help but blurt out a dirty word.
"Boss, I wonder if it's that 'sworn brother' Bond was talking about?" A prisoner thoughtfully furrowed his brow.
"Sworn brother?"
"That's an old joke over a hundred years ago!" Seeing that Ye Huan didn't understand, the prisoner explained: "Bond is very old, 120 years ago someone saw him in prison, at that time he often said something to the small birds outside the window, he was disabled by others, but he still had a sworn brother. This sworn brother looks unorthodox, often talks nonsense, but is absolutely loyal and has the ability to control the life and death of gods, and can destroy all the evil spirits in hell. One day, this sworn brother will rescue him!"
"This joke I've also heard!" Another prisoner took over and said: "Bond also said that after he gets out of prison, he wants to join forces with this sworn brother to do something big and earth-shaking. He said they would fight against the gods in heaven and trample the underworld, staking their entire lives on it, to recreate the three realms and make the world a bright and clean place again! Haha, that's why the judge intentionally gave him the number 250!"
Everyone burst out laughing at this point, apparently they had all heard the joke about Bond before, but Ye Huan's face was a bit unnatural.
Out of tune, with a mouthful of nonsense, but still somewhat righteous, doesn't this sound like a self-description?
Cut!
A nonsense spoken by a fool, how can it have anything to do with me!?
……
Does it really not matter at all?!
"I am justice!"
"I am the truth!"
"I am James Bond!"
Just as Ye Huan and the others were telling jokes, no one noticed that on a watchtower outside the dungeon, a slightly thinner figure than Principal Giggs appeared, looking sneaky.
This is an old man with white hair, not wearing a shirt, his skin covered in scars from whips and thorns, looking quite pitiful. However, he's wearing a ridiculous grass skirt on his lower body, and as he lies on the top of the pagoda, his buttocks involuntarily twitching back and forth, just like a little clown who escaped from a circus.
Due to the angle, he couldn't see several people in the cell, but across a distance of hundreds of meters, he still heard the voices coming from inside.
"The whole world laughs at me, I'm crazy!"
"The whole world insults me, I'm mad!"
"But in this vast world, how many people understand me? Ah, great love! It's all among humans!"
Upon hearing the jeers, the old man shed two lines of turbid tears, but soon he slowly stood up like a performing artist, proudly stretched out one hand, pointing in the direction of the dungeon, and loudly declared: "Laugh, scold, humiliate me to your heart's content! I won't blame you, because you are all ordinary people, you will never be able to understand the great love for humanity that I have upheld for 1,200 years!"
"I am the Knight of Love, James Lovemore Bond!!!!!!"
"Look, 250 is on the pagoda!"
After roaring continuously for over a dozen times, the guards below had been startled and hundreds of people rushed out from the dungeon at the same time.
"Ah, the path of spreading love and justice is indeed arduous! For love, I'll temporarily retreat!" The pursuers had already arrived at his heels, but this old man remained calm and composed. With a flick of his grass skirt, he rolled down from the tower and disappeared into the depths of the distant forest with a swift turn of his body.
Witnessing this scene, the pursuing guards were all stunned, "Er Bai Wu still has such skills!?"
"How is this possible? He's been imprisoned for over a hundred years and has never shown such strength before!"
Hundreds of prisoners broke out together, and the powerful heroes in the army were all beheaded, leaving only this fat old man, who miraculously escaped, and under the eyes of hundreds of guards!
No!
He hasn't escaped thoroughly yet!
Just as the guards were momentarily stunned, he jumped out of the dense forest again, shouting: "Do you know why I escaped from prison? Do you know why I chose to shock the mainland again after 1,200 years of silence?! Tell you, my dream has finally appeared!"
"Sworn brother!"
"This old man, crying and wailing to someone, shouted loudly, 'One thousand two hundred years have passed, I, with great love for all humanity, you, with glory saving the world, our combination of love and glory has finally welcomed the day when we will join forces!!! Ah, wait for me, big brother, I'll make some preparations and then come to meet you!'"
It doesn't make sense at all!
Utterly unreasonable!
If Ye Huan were here, she would definitely be rubbing her forehead in extreme pain and thinking that there are many people with eccentric personalities, but no matter how eccentric the personality is, they will not have this kind of behavior - this old man is clearly a genuine neurotic!
