The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

The exquisitely shaped silver fork was manipulated by slender jade fingers to elegantly cut a small piece from the cake in front of her and was placed into the mouth of the blue-haired girl who was sitting upright.

After careful tasting, the pressure accumulated during this period was diluted by the sweetness spreading from the tip of the tongue. Toyokawa Shoko's brows relaxed slightly, and she even squinted her eyes with some pleasure.

"As expected of a top-notch pastry chef from the French Pastry Association, his craftsmanship is truly amazing."

Smiling and giving a very high evaluation, Toyokawa Shoko reopened her eyes and looked at Huang Lian who seemed to be very pleased with her praise.

"It's my pleasure to make you happy."

The latter's mouth corners slightly raised, but soon returned to calm, and there was even a hint of caution in his bright eyes.

As a pastry chef, he was naturally willing to serve this elegant lady, but the method she used to contact him a few minutes ago inevitably made him feel a little dissatisfied.

It was because the World Tree Financial Group was using the mercenary account that he had abandoned long ago.

Such behavior was undoubtedly announcing to Huang Lian that this group of well-connected guys had already investigated her past.

"But your company contacted me through a non-official channel, so I guess it's not just to order takeout, right?"

"Haha, there's no need to be so hostile, Mr. Huanglian."

Naturally hearing the dissatisfaction in the other party's words, Toyokawa Shoko wiped the corners of her mouth with the tissue at hand, and the smile on her face showed no sign of fading.

"The reason why we contacted you in that way is not because we have any ill will towards you, but because we are not looking for you as a pastry chef, but you as a battle-hardened mercenary.

To put it more simply and directly, we have a job that we would like to entrust to you, Sergeant Huanglian Pierre Alfonso."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not a mercenary anymore."

When Huang Lian heard Toyokawa Shoko reveal her past identity, she did not comment but just shook her head calmly.

In the past, he became a mercenary in order to accumulate the necessary funds and connections for his dream. Now that he has become a first-class pastry chef, he has no reason to do dirty work for others.

Although Huang Lian often transformed into an armored knight and fought with children recently, he thought it was just a spice of life and a game to relax his body and mind. As proof of this, he had never used heavy hands on the children in previous battles, and would become very tolerant when he met an armored knight he admired.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. The job we want to entrust to you is not the dirty job you imagine. Considering your background, it is just a trivial matter."

As if she had already anticipated Huanglian's attitude, Toyokawa Shoko opened the laptop computer next to the table and showed the contents to the other party.

Huang Lian came forward curiously, and as he read, he couldn't help but frown again. 】

Fruit King: Uncle Huanglian really didn’t recognize her. The Toyokawa Shoko in front of him was the Melon-kun he had been thinking about.

One-Armed Skyfire Man: With the height-increasing technique and voice-changing device, it wouldn’t be easy to recognize him.

Lamp God: Yes, if I hadn’t watched the video, I wouldn’t have thought that Xiaoxiang is so good at fighting.

RiNG The God of Pressure: I'm kind of glad that Xiangzi didn't care about me pulling her collar on the day the team disbanded, otherwise I might have to leave lying down.

Long-term vegetarian: Yes.

Guitar Hero: Wow, you are so brave.

Customer service Xiaoxiang:?

At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko in front of the screen suddenly felt complicated.

——Why do I feel like the image of me in their minds has become strange?

[The perspective switches to the quiet Helheim Forest.

At this moment, a thin figure was staggering in this deserted forest.

Step by step, green veins traveled under the bloodless body, and the mumblings echoing in the brain destroyed his thinking, making him unable to move his legs back and forth mechanically.

My consciousness gradually became dull, and everything in my field of vision was always covered with an indelible blurry filter. Everything I saw seemed so distorted and weird.

The strong feeling of nausea and the tingling pain all over the body tried hard to squeeze out of the dry throat, and then turned into meaningless whimpering, but the sound sounded no different from the hoarse and shrill roar of an animal.

It formed a strong contrast with the thin figure. 】

In front of the screen, even though the audience had not yet seen the true appearance of this figure, a strong sense of uneasiness had already surged into their hearts.

They sensed that something big was coming.

Even the Suqing group, who had been laughing and making a lot of noise, became quiet at this moment.

Aqua's eyes gradually widened, and like her companions around her, she gradually began to realize who this "figure" was.

"No way?"

[“Her” thinking is unimaginably slow, and her fragile spirit is like a lone boat drifting in a storm, on the brink of silence and in danger of getting lost at any time.

In that dark rainstorm, memories of the past hit her body as densely as raindrops.

the appearance of his companions;

Fighting with lances;

The excitement of arriving in a new city;

The confusion of wandering alone in the forest;

Even the touch of your belly gently caressing when you’re hungry.

Important, ordinary, familiar, unfamiliar... memories big and small flow on the body surface with the rain, washing away the little willpower that is left bit by bit.

Finally, all the rain gathered into a pool of water under the feet of the boat owner, and the red fruit that "she" held in her hand when she was hungry was reflected on the surface of the water.

The flame-like surface of the fruit really began to burn at this moment. The dark green flames burned up the sea in an instant, engulfing the lonely boat and the girl on it.

"She" even lost the strength to struggle in the raging fire and turned into a fireman in an instant.

Then, a heart-wrenching scream attracted "her" attention.

His gaze moved, and even though there was little left after being burned, his scarlet eyes still stared blankly in the direction where the sound came from.

……

beyond the cracks.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Sato Kazuma, who was pinned to the ground by five or six dark shadows and unable to move, could only let out meaningless cries like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Even when he saw this large number of black shadows with his own eyes, Sato Kazuma's crisis management awareness had already begun to sound the alarm for himself, but this group of professional troops trained by the World Tree Foundation was obviously not a pushover.

Even though they were also surprised at the sudden appearance of an armored knight at the blockade site, their professional qualities allowed them to rush up at the first moment and control Sato Kazuma who was about to run away.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?!"

No one responded to Sato Kazuma's questioning. They just silently increased the force to suppress Sato Kazuma, waiting for the leading black shadow captain to contact the higher-ups to ask what to do next.

Suddenly, a strong murderous aura locked onto everyone present.

This forced all the shadows to look up at the source of the murderous aura - a crack deep in the alley.

Sato Kazuma naturally did as he was told, and his brown pupils suddenly widened, and a familiar color was reflected behind the crack.

"Who are you!?"

It was a water-like blue, but the eyes only opened and closed for a second, and as if it was an optical illusion, the blue disappeared in the next second, replaced by a deep green that made people feel ominous.

Water Goddess:! ?

Fruit King:! ?

Visible Yin-Yang Eyes:! ?

……

The moment that fleeting aqua blue disappeared, all the audience were shocked. The strongest shock since the broadcast of "Gimmick" swept through their hearts, making them feel a little chilly.

Many younger viewers even suffered psychological trauma from the incident. Even adults were not much better and almost developed PTSD.

Emperor: This is truly a long-lost sense of horror since "Koudou".

Emperor's Dance: Monsters are transformed from humans. No wonder Ms. Junchuan came back to make a cameo appearance. The atmosphere of this picture really gives me a feeling of returning to "Koudou".

Perfumer: In other words, those aliens might be other creatures that transformed by eating the fruits of that forest?

Miss Pink Fairy: Stop it! I don't want to see these teeth!

Customer service Xiaoxiang: It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t damaged Ms. Aqua’s driver in the video…

Long-term vegetarian: No one could have imagined that something like this would happen. It’s not your fault, Xiaoxiang.

Guo Huang: Yes, if we have to say it, we who organized this game also have some responsibility.

Super high school level despair: Hehe, is that all? Don’t you think this is very exciting? Everyone’s seemingly inadvertent choices come together and eventually push a person into despair. I feel that the first unfortunate domino has fallen~

Group Joy: Give you a thumbs up.jpg

Father Mapo: I want to see a river of blood.jpg

Guichu Kazuma: This is really, it makes me laugh...

Goddess of Water: No! Kazuma, please think of a solution! I don’t want to become a monster!!!

……

Looking at Aqua, who was so scared that her eyes were filled with tears and was being comforted by Huihui and Darkness, Sato Kazuma, who usually thought this girl was very noisy, was rarely angry this time, and his expression was very ugly.

Watching the scene in the video where the alien transformed by Aqua rushed into the group of shadows and made a big fuss, he felt mixed emotions at the moment.

Aqua is the person with whom Sato Kazuma has spent the longest time since he came to the other world. Before he knew it, he and she had become best friends.

Even though Aqua always made him angry and it was common for them to hold each other back, Sato Kazuma believed in her deep down in his heart and thought that she was an important partner and a friend who was worthy of his support in times of real crisis.

Therefore, he couldn't help but start praying in his heart, hoping that Aqua could get through this difficult time safely.

——It should be possible, right? After all, there are fools, right?

795: Unexpected reinforcements

[Inside the World Tree Tower, I listened to the entire conversation between Toyokawa Shoko and Huang Lian.

When Nagasaki Suyo, who was hiding behind the wall, heard the former personally entrusting the latter to defeat the Armored Knight and recover all the drivers, his eyes widened slightly and he covered his mouth in disbelief.

But she had no time to be surprised. Just as the two of them reached a deal, new developments followed.

"Hello, it's me, what's wrong?"

Toyokawa Shoko's cell phone suddenly rang. Her face changed immediately after she answered the call. After saying "excuse me" to Huanglian, she walked out of the meeting room without even taking the laptop on the table with her.
