For them, I believe in superior firepower

Chapter 5 Trying to Escape
Same day, midnight.

Because of the imminent arrival of the rebels, there was a lot of noise in the visitor corridor that should have been quiet.

And Xia En was discussing how to leave with the man in the next room.

According to the previous procedure, the saint should call him to the second floor around nine o'clock in the evening to drain his spiritual energy.

But until now, she hasn't made any moves.

This made Xia En both terrified and a little excited.

Because this meant that he could try to sneak into the team when he was in good condition, and leave with the rebel army.

"I remember you said you had to wear a black cloak when you left, right? Where did those clothes come from?" Leaning against the wall, Xia En asked the man next door in a low voice.

"It should be prepared in the monastery, and the servants will distribute it later." The man's voice hesitated, "But brother, if you are not on the list to go, then you can't get an extra black cloak, right? "

"I..." Xia En was about to answer when he heard a knock on his door.

The voice of the interrogating knight came from outside the door, "Xia En, Your Lady has summoned you."

Xia En's face turned ugly all of a sudden.

The interrogation knight stuck at this time, which undoubtedly completely disrupted his plan.

"Brother, why are you going to the saintess' room now, why are you walking with us?" The voice of the man next door came from the small hole in the wall, "The transfusion will take half an hour to finish, right? It's almost midnight You're going to lose time!"

"If I don't leave now, the interrogation knight will directly escort me there, and the situation will get worse by then."

The man stopped talking.

Xia En sighed, didn't delay any longer, but pushed the door open and walked out.

The interrogation knight saw him and made a "please" gesture.

Facing this watchful action, Xia En felt bitter in his heart.

Obviously, the interrogating knight was wary of him, and it was almost impossible to shake him off and sneak into the team.

However, when passing by the hall of the monastery, Xia En saw a man in black push the door and entered, and cast his gaze on the interrogating knight behind him, "Merich, it's almost midnight, where is the handover team?"

"Wait a minute, I have ordered the servants to distribute the cloaks." The interrogation knight Meric pointed to Shane, and said seriously, "I will go back to prepare the team after I send him to the lady saint."

"Okay, please hurry up, time is precious." The black-robed man nodded, without too much urging, just found a slightly dark place to stop, and waited quietly.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xia En suddenly felt that he seemed to have a chance—if he could end the spirit infusion earlier and slip out with an excuse, would he be able to get in before Meric finished preparing the team?

With this in mind, he entered the saintess' room and saw the saintess sitting at the table as yesterday, obviously waiting for him.

"Master Saint, shall we start now?" After thinking for a while, Xia En pretended to be hesitant.

"Do you have any questions?" The saint asked calmly.

"No, just..."

"do not waste time.

"Yes, it's just the food for this morning?" Xia En showed a confused look just right, "That seems...not an ordinary ingredient, right?"

"That's right." The saint nodded lightly, "This is to ensure that you will not be in danger due to the characteristics of the 'sick person' when your spiritual power is insufficient."

Is it fishing for sustainable depletion...

Xia En slandered in his heart, but still bowed his head slightly on his face, and saluted, "Thank you, Lady Saint, for your kindness."

The saint was silent for a moment, then nodded, without speaking.

For some reason, Xia En always felt that the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked when looking at the saint's expression.

But the light at midnight was dim, and his condition was really bad, so he only thought it was his own illusion.

Shaking his head slightly, Xia En came to the table and sat down, stretched out his hand, and clasped the right hand of the saint again.

With the activation of "transfusion" and the loss of psychic energy, Xia En intentionally increased the amount of psychic energy delivered, but stopped it from time to time, creating an illusion of "unstable psychic energy delivery".

As a Sequence Six ability user, although the saint was aware of it from the beginning, she didn't seem to care too much.

But as this situation continued, she finally raised her head slightly and looked directly at Xia En.

"Your infusion, your psionic energy, what's going on?"

Her sky blue pupils looked at Xia En, as if she could see right through him.

"Maybe it was you, the Holy Maiden, when you drew the spiritual energy too fast, which caused some damage to the channel of spiritual transfer..." Xia En panted, pretending to be unbearable.

The saint stared at him for a while, "So you mean, if you continue like this, there will be further problems with your spiritual transfusion channel?"

"I can't guarantee it. I can only say that something might go wrong." Xia En carefully considered his words, as if he was only worried about his own safety.

"So, what do you mean... If I continue to insist on you transfusion, I will harm you?" The saint withdrew her right hand, stood up, and turned her back to Xia En, so that he could not see his expression at all.

"...don't dare."

"Okay." The saint sighed softly, "Since your current physical condition is not good, let's call it a day. I will send you some food to restore your body later."

"You should also know that medicines are useless for 'sick people'."

"Thank you Saintess." Xia En lowered his head very low, and his voice sounded extremely terrified.

"Go back..." The saint just wanted to speak, but suddenly seemed to think of something, "You wait here for a while, and then go back to your room."

Xia En originally thought that his deception plan would be successful, but the words of the saint directly ruined his plan.

However, he didn't speak either, just pretending to obey orders.

After all, it was already a bit suspicious for the saint to call him into the room at this time today.

If he is not obedient at this time and wants to stand up, then don't even think about running away.

With this in mind, after waiting quietly for a few minutes, Xia En clutched his stomach and bent down with a painful expression.

"What's wrong?" The saint's voice seemed a little anxious.

She stood up and walked to Xia En, as if she was about to raise her hand to touch Xia En.

"No, Lady Saint, I'm just, just..." Xia En blushed just right, "I'm just a little anxious, I want to go to the bathroom..."

The saint's hand froze in mid-air.

And Xia En turned his head slightly, looking at the lower half of her expressionless face, feeling a little apprehensive for a moment.

The saint took a breath, as if she was enduring something.

After a while, she nodded, "Go."

Xia En was overjoyed, and with an eager expression, he rushed out like an arrow leaving the string.

Is it normal to be in a hurry, to act in a hurry, to hurry up?

Urine escape is really easy to use.

Only then did Xia En sigh in his heart, when he heard the voice of the saint from behind him, "It will be quite chaotic in the monastery today. You are not in good health and your spiritual power is not enough. I will go with you."

Shane nearly fell over.

What does this say?
Which saintess will escort a Sequence Nine "sick" to the bathroom?
Wouldn't it be enough to find a handyman, or a knight to watch over?

But the saint in front of her, from her appearance and expression, was actually serious!

Where did it come from!

Sean almost scolded.

But since he opened his mouth, he could only swallow the bitter fruit himself, while putting on a sad face and pretending to be anxious, he buried his head and ran wildly.

I thought the saint would pay attention to posture, but when Xia En looked back, he only saw the saint leap from the second floor to the first floor in one leap, and surpassed him in another leap.

hiss……

Could it be that I am really dead?

Bah bah, can't give up!
Throwing away his slumped thoughts, Xia En ran into the bathroom on the first floor as fast as he could.

The saintess stood outside, and even had time to pull down the curtain, close the door, and stand outside.

"My lord saint, why are you here?" Meric, the interrogation knight who was yelling in the corridor to gather the team, saw the voice of the saint and hurried over to greet her.

"Continue with your business." The saint waved her hand indifferently, "Today's situation is special, and I need to be present in person."

Meric glanced across the closed door of the bathroom, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Could it be that the patient named Xia En was blocked in the bathroom by the saint?
Although he could see that the Saintess is determined to win Xia En, it is really impressive that she, who has always been indifferent, can do this...

As soon as he thought of this, Meric noticed the saint's clear eyes looking at him.

It was as if he could see through all the thoughts in his mind.

With a shudder in his heart, he threw away redundant thoughts, saluted, and strode back to purge the team.

The saint turned sideways slightly, and when no one could see her expression, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Although when Xia En was still in Sequence Nine, she had seen him burnt out by strange beasts because of his too weak combat power, even in a state of embarrassment.

But today, it was the first time she saw this appearance of going to the bathroom in order to escape, pretending to be spiritually unstable, or even having a stomachache.

Could it be that he can be allowed to act in an opera in the future?

His acting skills are pretty good!

Suppressing her smile, the saint turned her body slightly, stayed in this slightly remote corner, and watched the team gradually gathering in the hall.

After failing to fight against the Flame Lord, Xia En suddenly disappeared, and there was no trace of him in the world.

She and the other two annoying women have not given up searching, but still haven't heard any news from him.

In desperation, they could only make an agreement to separate, stand in one place, and collect any information related to Xia En.

The saint, on the other hand, decided to use her own identity to settle at the junction of the Holy Kingdom and the northern border.

While keeping in touch with another person from the Rebel Army in the North, it can also take into account the collection of news in the Holy Kingdom.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. One year after Xia En left, the Holy Kingdom suddenly began to crowd out, persecute, and even arrest other ability users who were not affiliated with the holy religion.

And as Xia En's companion, although she can't understand such behavior, she can't stand alone. She can only use this cold winter monastery as a transfer station to send batch after batch of capable people to the northern rebels. .

This is something that the Holy Church failed to do after persuading Xia En to help them.

And for these things, she can only do her best to make up for it.

Without Shane, there is no way for them to unite.

She never felt that she had really done anything.

At some point, the saint's expression gradually became lonely.

"Although you have become weaker, I am already very happy when you come back, Xia En." She murmured softly, "So this time, I will never let you go away..."

Thinking of this, she walked a little to the outside, but was bumped into by a man rushing out of the visitor's corridor.

A black mass fell out of the man's arms, landed on the ground, and scattered.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry..." The man got up in a hurry, trying to pick up the things, but he was directly pressed to the ground by a coercion, unable to move.

He raised his head anxiously, just in time to see the saintess bent down and picked up the black thing from the ground.

At that moment, the man felt that his soul was dying, and he almost forgot what he was holding this ball for.

"If I remember correctly...you are in the room next to Shane, Levi Colette?" The saint's voice was soft.

Slowly she unfolded the black mass and stared at it for a moment.

It was a black cloak, and it was also the batch of black cloaks that the servants had just distributed to those who were about to leave with the rebel army.

And the man next door to Xia En... that is, Li Wei, he was already wearing a black cloak.

In other words, he had an extra cloak in his hand.

"Merich." The saint called softly.

"My lord saint!" Although the hall was still a bit messy, Meric came to the saint immediately.

"This cloak is in his hand, it's extra." The saint looked at Li Wei, her voice became softer, "I remember that the number of cloaks distributed by the handyman should be just right, right?"

"Miss Saint, you specifically said that you want to send an extra message to this Li Wei..." Meric reminded boldly.

"Oh, I almost forgot." The saint "suddenly realized" and nodded, "Well, Li Wei, since you and Xia En have such a good relationship, and you are willing to provide him with this extra black cloak, you may wish to share with him Do you want to stay here for a while longer?"

Li Wei lay on the ground, not daring to vent his anger.

He had known for a long time that the saintess acted strictly, and he also knew that the rules in Winter Abbey were said to be strict, but he still felt that it was okay to take the cloak out by taking advantage of the loophole.

But he really didn't expect that this was actually a trap set by the saint herself!
This made him tremble all over.

"Okay, Meric, take him back to the room, and you continue to form the team." The saint ordered softly, without any intention of moving away.

"Yes!" Meric responded immediately.

He pulled Li Wei up from the ground with one hand, then called two handymen, and carried the limp Li Wei into the room.

"Ah!" The saint turned around and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard a scream from inside.
