I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Noretti, who was awakened by the system prompt, opened her eyes, looked at the message from the other party, and typed a reply.

"Yes, that's right, the aboriginal people who need protection for the main mission are also here with me."

"Let's meet."

The two parties agreed to meet at the entrance of the power plant. Cheng Rang and others walked into the building in the dust and saw an iron sign that read "The 72nd Above-ground Power Station".

The three men repaired here and set up tents and bonfires. While Chisaki Mori and Christian were busy, footsteps came from deep inside.

Several people turned around to check, and Noretti appeared in their field of vision, dressed in gray and white.

Chisaki Mori couldn't help but swallowed her saliva and murmured: "It's a beauty..."

"Hello everyone, I am the target player of branch A of this main mission, number 3702, Kampf Noretti. Qianhu and Yuli are still resting behind, it won't be too late for you to meet them later, at least There needs to be a proper reason.”

With gray hair, silver eyes, a beautiful face and a tall figure, she has the temperament of an iceberg beauty.

As soon as Noretti appeared, Chisaki Mori's eyes seemed to be firmly fixed on her and he couldn't turn away.

But Cheng Rang and Christian were obviously much more calm. As the captain, Cheng Rang took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand at the signal from Christian's eyes.

"This is Cheng Rang's team. I am the captain Cheng Rang, numbered Test 01. The two here are my team members, Christian and the boy with chuunibyou."

"I don't even deserve a name?!" Mori Chisaki didn't want to lose a good first impression in front of the beautiful woman. He raised his hands in protest and introduced himself: "Hello, Miss Noretti, my name is Mori Chisaki! I am single now. Your profession is Dark Flame Master, nice to meet you!"

Noretti shook hands with Cheng Rang first, and then took half a step back without leaving a trace in the face of the enthusiastic Mori Chisaki. Although the expression on her face did not change, it was obvious that she disliked this guy.

"I remember I told you that there are people resting behind you... Could you please keep your voice down?" Noretti's polite and distant tone made Chisaki Mori's face suddenly darken.

"Ah, yes...I'm sorry."

"Forgive this guy for being an idiot. He can't help it. The special nature of his profession means that he has to suffer from chuunibyou from time to time, otherwise he will become a cripple." Cheng Rang shrugged and took the initiative to explain to Noretti. Chisaki Mori’s difficulties.

"That's it." Noretti nodded in understanding, then shook hands with Mori Chisaki and said in a sympathetic tone: "Thank you for your hard work."

"...Mom, I met an angel today."

Regardless of Chisaki Mori, who was bewildered at the side, he seemed to be swearing in a low voice that he would never wash his hand or anything in this life. He even exaggerated to the point of bursting into tears. But thinking about it, this may be the first time he has held such a beautiful girl. The other party took the initiative, so it can be understood.

Cheng Rang said: "I'd like to apologize first. We seem to have gone in the wrong direction and arrived a lot late. The battle that just happened was..."

"The other group of players are brother and sister, very powerful."

"Did you win?"

"yes……"

Noretti took a gentle breath, her tone was a little heavy, and there was no sense of relief at escaping death or joy of victory.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Cheng Rang was a little confused about Noretti's reaction, but he still smiled and said: "Fortunately, you are strong enough and survived. Congratulations."

"There is nothing to congratulate." Noretti shook her head gently

head.

Afterwards, several people discussed the reasons for meeting Qianhu and Yuli, the aborigines here, and the advice they received was that it was best to protect them in the dark.

The two of them seemed to have gone through a long journey with only each other. It was hard to explain the sudden appearance of so many people. After all, the three of them would get lost even here, not to mention that they might get lost in front of the more vigilant Yuri and the others. Things will get exposed.

It’s best to find a suitable time and meet by chance “on the road”.

It was uncertain whether the other party wanted Cheng Rang and the three of them to accompany him, and whether he could accept them. According to Noretti's words, there is a high probability that it won't work.

"Especially that person." She raised her hand and pointed at Chisaki Mori, who was looking away from her and thinking casually.

"Eh? What's wrong with me?" The young man suddenly turned around.

"You will scare them." Noretti said seriously.

Chisaki Mori covered her chest as if she was hurt.

"...It's too much."

Chapter 1207 Chapter 18 Sunny Day

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it." Cheng Rang smiled helplessly, "Then we will protect you and your group from the surrounding area and look for clues about Branch C. That's it."

"This is the best." Noretti nodded.

"Now that we have reunited and are friendly forces, for the sake of safety, why don't you join our team first?" Cheng Rang suggested to her, "This will be much more convenient, and we can keep track of each other's positions and status at any time."

Noretti shook her head and refused: "Forget it, since I have added friends, that's enough... I prefer to be alone."

"Uh, is that so?" Cheng Rang retracted the hand he wanted to extend again and touched his hair, "Actually, I am recruiting teammates for the team conquest mode later, and I think you are very strong, so I made such an invitation. , since I don’t want to join for the time being, I respect your choice. If you are interested in joining at any time in the future, we will welcome you.”

Noretti nodded and said: "Thank you, I will consider it."

This is the first time Noretti has refused someone else's invitation to form a team.

She didn't like to act alone, because that way she wouldn't even be able to sleep well, her spirit would always be in a state of tension, and she would have no place to rely on.

But she had joined many teams, but no matter how strong those teams seemed, they would all be destroyed in the end without exception.

Only myself is left alive.

It's as if he is like a curse hanging over everyone's head. As long as he appears, there will inevitably be tragic sacrifices.

The more teams Noretti joins, the more people she kills around her, at least that's what she thinks.

Carrying the curse of being destined to be alone, the more teammates he dies, the stronger he becomes, inheriting all their strengths.

Noretti didn't think it was a gift, but felt panicked. She thought it was her curse that killed her friends, and in the end she despicably took all their abilities like a thief.

Even if no one ever blamed her for it, she would always blame herself for it.

She blames herself so much that she can't sleep peacefully. The scenes of death are like a never-ending nightmare that haunts her heart, tearing her spirit into pieces.

It would be nice if there was no war, then no one would die...

So Noretti hates war, and she will never choose to use Irene's power to defeat the enemy unless she has to.

Of course she also thought that death would be the best relief from carrying all these things, but her conscience did not allow her to die easily.

Hatred and expectation are like shackles, tightly strangling one's neck. Without exception, those teammates who died were people who tried their best to survive in this cruel world.

If she, who was burdened with their expectations of survival, gave up and died easily, then Noretti would never be able to forgive this happening.

Her legacy, expectations and hatred are intertwined, making it impossible for her to escape from this involuntary sea of ​​suffering.

If you live, you will meet, and when you meet, you will face war, and war will lead to death... But the lonely self will continue to live, and meet the encounter that she resists but looks forward to.

Noretti once said of herself: "I am a despicable witch who will do whatever it takes to survive."

And now, another powerful team has sent an invitation to him.

This time, she finally chose to refuse.

She thought that losing something after gaining it would always hurt more than never gaining it at all. In fact, she was tempted, but she was in a hurry, so she didn't say anything.

Build up the walls around you brick by brick and shut yourself in.

Noretti accepted her fate.

Since she was destined to be alone, she chose not to meet again.

One person is good, one person is enough...because I am strong enough now.

——————————————

The storm subsided and the sky finally cleared.

After Qianhu and Yuli rested for a night, their mental state was obviously much better. Thanks to the sumptuous meal provided by Noretti, Yuli rolled up her sleeves and boasted that she could even drive hundreds of miles today.

The bright blue sky casts bright sunlight, reflecting the entire snow-white world as far as the eye can see.

Due to the thick snow, Noretti and Yuri pushed the car aside while Qianhu slowly pressed the accelerator.

The tracks pushed aside the snow in front of them and moved forward slowly.

Noretti said: "I noticed that you didn't have much fuel, so I went to find some while you were sleeping. Although it is not much, it is enough to support us to move forward to the next refueling point."

"Oh, really..." Qianhu wiped the snow on the dashboard and saw that the oil level, which was almost reaching the red line, had increased by half.

"Thanks."

Yuli's voice sounded: "You didn't add anything weird to it, right?"

"especially……!"

Facing Xiaoqian's gaze, Yuli stuck out her tongue, "I was just joking."

Noretti responded: "Because if it breaks down halfway because there is no fuel, it will be very troublesome to be trapped in the snow together."

"So you were just looking for fuel when you were wandering around?"

"Yeah, almost."

"It's really thoughtful."

After almost exiting the deep snow area and reaching an open area where they could travel smoothly, Qianhu greeted the two of them to get on the bus.

The back seat, which was originally very spacious for Yuli to sit alone, became a bit cramped after Noretti also sat down side by side.

"It's so crowded."

"Just be patient and it'll be fine. Don't fight, you two." Qianhu casually warned.

Yuli chuckled: "No way."

The three of them were driving in the open snow, and at the top of the tall chimney in the distance, Cheng Rang was sitting on the protruding barbed wire platform and watching the car in the distance with his god's prosthetic eyes.

"No wonder they didn't let us go with them... They have a car. If there are three more people, they obviously won't be able to ride."

"Car, can we also take the car, captain~!" Chisaki Mori sat cross-legged next to Cheng Rang and swayed, causing the barbed wire underneath him to creak.

"If you move it erratically, it might fall, and the sound will be very noisy, so stop shaking it." Christian warned from the side, like an old father who cares about his naughty child.

Chisaki Mori half-opened her eyes and looked at Christian, who was standing vertically on the chimney wall, with his feet hanging horizontally like a bat.

"I said...even if you fall from this height, you won't die. Why do you have to hang on it? Don't you think the perspective is wrong when you talk like this?"

"This is for safety reasons."

Chisaki Mori held up her chin and let out a sigh. As if she wanted to go against Christian's words, she shook her body, causing the barbed wire platform to creak louder.

However, soon, the old and rusty platform could not bear the movements of Mori Chisaki and collapsed.

Mori Chisaki, who was sitting cross-legged on it, suddenly lost his balance and screamed, and his whole body turned outwards. Cheng Rang had already nailed his original intention to the chimney. He squatted on the handle of the knife and watched Chisaki Mori, who was extremely happy and sad, falling from the high chimney platform, and sighed helplessly.

Following the screams from near to far, a sheet of snow mist suddenly rose from the snow below, and a human-shaped silhouette spread out.

"Although if we fall, we will definitely not die based on our body data, but it will hurt... and it will be embarrassing." Cheng Rang added in a low voice, hoping that Chisaki Mori below could hear it.

"It hurts!"

His screams pierced the slightly cold air.

"right……"

"...Be swallowed up by the pitch-black flames! The pillar of pitch-black flames!"

As purple-black flames soared into the sky, Cheng Rang and Christian looked at each other and saw a little smile in each other's eyes.

"You young people are so energetic." Christian couldn't help but sigh.

Cheng Rang shrugged and smiled: "Isn't this good? At least it won't be boring on the road."

There was a ding, and a system message came.

Noretti: "Can you please be quieter over there?"

Cheng Rang raised his head and looked into the distance. Noretti, who was sitting in the car, collided with his eyes.

He didn't care whether Noretti could really see him, so he waved as a greeting and replied:

"Yes, we will keep an eye on the middle school boy."
