The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

And when we say we are rescuing people, it doesn’t mean that we just need to pull them out and bring them to the camp and that’s it.

The problem of food and water is not that serious because of the advance preparations. Given the current situation, it will not be a problem to last for two months.

In fact, the really difficult part is medical care - the most professional people in the entire Bronze Tree are probably Nishio Nishiki and Nishino Takami.

But with their abilities, they can only handle minor injuries, but if the injuries are a little more serious, they are helpless - if they are not sent to the hospital, the patient will die!

However, it is precisely because of this that Bronze Tree has formed a certain tacit understanding with certain search and rescue groups during this period.

The former is responsible for rescuing people from dangerous areas that are difficult to reach by human power, and the latter is responsible for treating the wounded.

However, having said that, there are still many injured people that Bronze Tree is responsible for, and many of them even have great resistance.

After all, now both hospitals and various shelters are operating at full capacity... If it weren't for the last resort, who would come to the rescue camp run by the ghouls?

Of course, if the other party wants to leave, he won't stop him.

As for whether the camp would be exposed... forget it, there was no way such a thing could be hidden from the beginning.

Unless the rescued people are kept in the camp, it is only a matter of time before they are exposed...

But if that really happens, it will cause big problems.

Since I can't hide it, I might as well make it public.

While everyone was concerned about the situation in Tokyo, he simply had someone film the situation inside the camp into a video, then edited it in a sophisticated way and posted it online.

But besides this, there is a bigger trouble coming.

——Arima Takashi!

Shortly after Long appeared, the CCG's Grim Reaper came with his Zero Squad... in an extremely miserable manner.

There were several wounds on his body that were deep enough to see the bones. The most serious one was a knife wound on his abdomen, which had pierced him directly.

Not only that, even the members of Squad Zero who were following him were almost all injured, obviously having experienced a fierce battle.

——In addition to being hunted by V, another reason was that he brought people back to rob Akihiro Kano's research materials on dragons.

Even though the relationship between Bronze Tree and CCG has eased somewhat, when the ghouls of Bronze Tree saw that the person coming was the White Grim Reaper, they almost fought with them.

——There are too many ghouls who have grudges against Arima Kishou.

So much so that whenever the name "Arima Takamasa" was mentioned, the only emotions that were felt were fear and hatred.

The most intuitive example is the Four-Direction Lotus Technique, which once taught Lin Qiao combat skills.

His sister, who was also the mother of Touka and Ayato, was killed by him, and even his kagune was made into the Quinque named "Narakamiya".

Even if he later explained everything that the other party and Et had planned, hatred is something that cannot be erased with just a few words.

Even the current dissatisfaction was suppressed by Ett with his position as leader.

But to be honest, if the matter of Arima Takamasa is not handled properly, the Bronze Tree may really split this time.

crunch--

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.

At walked in silently from outside, still wearing the vacuum bandage outfit that he would rather die in.

The bandage covering her face and the low-hanging hood made it difficult to see her face.

After walking in, he went straight to Lin Qiao, pulled out an empty stool and sat down.

"I'm giving you a rare day off, but you're coming back so soon? Or are you really worried about me?"

"..."

Et, who was sitting opposite him, maintained the posture of Commander Ikari and did not answer. He gave off a cold and indifferent aura that kept strangers away.

Anyone could see that she was in a bad mood...well, very bad.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Arima... still wants to die."

"What?"

Is there such a good thing?

Lin Qiao's mouth twitched, and she took a deep breath before she resisted the urge to blurt out the answer.

"Didn't you try to persuade him? Like, keep him useful or something?"

"If I were really useful, I wouldn't have come to you."

"So you don't want me to help you persuade it?"

"No, to be exact, I don't intend to stop him."

"Then what do you want from me?"

At shook his head, then took Lin Qiao's hand and walked out the door: "Let's go, he wants to see you."

Chapter 154: White Death and Red Pass

Soon, Lin Qiao arrived in front of Arima Takashi's "ward".

It is called a ward, but in fact it is just a rest room. The conditions at Bronze Tree are not so luxurious.

Outside the door, four members of Squad Zero in white uniforms were guarding the door.

Although for various reasons, Et has already issued an order to temporarily spare the other party's life.

However, there are quite a few people who have grudges against Arima Takasho, so it is normal for someone to disobey orders and take risks in this situation.

Therefore, in order to prevent the extremely weak Arima Takashi from being ambushed and killed, the Zero Squad that arrived with him naturally acted as his guards.

They work in groups of four, guarding the door all day long.

Naturally, after hearing the approaching footsteps, Lin Qiao was immediately subjected to the hostile gazes of the four people opposite, but this hostility only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

For them, apart from Et, Lin Qiao is one of the few people in the entire Bronze Tree who can be trusted.

At least he had no animosity towards Arima Takamasa.

She pushed open the door with a relaxed look, looked at the man who had woken up from his coma, and shrugged: "Long time no see, this should be our third... Never mind, let's just consider it our second meeting."

After all, when he saw the other person before, he was already on the verge of death and completely unconscious.

If Lin Qiao had not used his own abilities to repair his and several others' injuries in time, they would have had to prepare for the seventh day of mourning by now.

But even now, he has not recovered, and his face is almost the same color as his hair.

Although from the current situation, it would have been better if he had died at that time.

"I never thought that we would meet again in this situation."

"I also didn't expect that you would join the Bronze Tree after leaving Kuquelia, and seize the leadership of Owl in such a short time."

He shook his head, and even with that indifferent tone, he couldn't hide the helplessness in his heart.

Too many unexpected events have happened during this period of time, whether it was the usurpation of power by Et, or the dragon created by Furuta Jiro after his father's death, they have far exceeded the original expectations.

There is no doubt that the plan to cultivate the next generation of One-Eyed King can almost be declared bankrupt - not only is there no suitable candidate, there is not even time for growth.

The room was surprisingly quiet, and Lin Qiao found a suitable spot to sit down.

He glanced at Arima Takashi, who was looking outside, and asked calmly, "And then, are you still planning to commit suicide?"

"Well, most ghouls dislike my existence. If I continue to live, I will probably cause trouble for you."

"...If you knew that, you shouldn't have come here in the first place."

"Because I didn't expect that I could survive after suffering such an injury." There was a sense of surprise in the plain words.

At least when he stole Kano Akihiro's information and asked Squad Zero to take him to the Bronze Tree before he fell into a coma, he really didn't think he could survive.

From his point of view, after Furuta Jifu cut into his household registration book, his next step would most likely be to completely control CCG.

Then whether he goes to the hospital or returns to CCG, he will be walking into a trap.

Since I'm going to die anyway, why not use my own death to eliminate the hatred of the ghouls, pave the way for peace between humans and ghouls, and by the way, give the information about dragons to Et.

"So, you actually came back to give yourself up?"

"That statement... Never mind. It should be about the same according to your understanding."

He suddenly stopped talking, as if he didn't want to argue with Lin Qiao about this matter. Then he pushed his glasses and said helplessly, "But unfortunately, I survived. This is why you and Et are facing such a situation."

"So I saved you and you made a mistake?"

"It is true to a certain extent. It was the best outcome for me to die there."

Lin Qiao's mouth twitched: "If that person, Aite, hadn't come to me, would you have thought I was happy?"

"So this is your mistake as a leader - the suggestions of your subordinates are just suggestions after all. When they go against the collective interests, you must make a choice."

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

"Because what you did was unreasonable."

"......I really want to kick you to death now."

"Please."

Lin Qiao was really speechless, but to a certain extent he could understand Arima Takashi's choice.

.....However, someone had better flesh-mending skills and managed to pull him back from the brink of death.

Not dying when he should have died was probably his biggest mistake.

Although she understood it, Lin Qiao still didn't understand why someone would commit suicide because of it.

"If that's all, there's no need for you to want to die, right? After all, Et should have mentioned my abilities to you..."

"Change your appearance and fake your death? She did advise me to do so."

"But you still refused."

"Yeah, the feeling is really complicated... It was she who suggested that I become the cornerstone and sacrifice myself, and now it is also she who persuades me to live..."

He smiled silently. When At came to him to tell him about this, he was really shocked.

"She's a dove, that's normal."

Recalling the almost lost look on Et's face, Lin Qiao shrugged.

"As long as there is green hills, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. Only by living can we create more value..."

"Although I really want to talk about these great principles, Eiter should have already told you these things, so I won't waste any more words."

Lin Qiao did not regret his decision to save Arima Takashi, but if the other party insisted on committing suicide, he would not stop him.

"But I'm still curious as to why you made such a decision."

".....The reason......"

He repeated it in a low voice, his gaze once again directed towards the cloudy sky outside the window.

Seeing him like this, Lin Qiao did not urge him. She just picked up a pear that someone had sent over as a gift of consolation and took a bite.

After a long silence, he sighed in frustration.

"I can't stand up anymore. To put it bluntly, my lower body is paralyzed."

"Hey, are you serious about this?"

"Is it hard to believe? But unfortunately it is true. I stabbed my left leg with a knife and didn't feel anything until it bled."

He pushed his glasses and said something without any emotion that greatly surprised Lin Qiao.

He had said this to Et once before, and the two had similar reactions.

Chapter 155 They are left to you

Human beings have limits.

Same thing with half-humans.

As long as he has an advantageous Kuink in hand, Arima Kisho can definitely beat everyone in the Bronze Tree except Lin Qiao, but his semi-human physique holds him back.
