The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Although half-humans are stronger than ordinary humans in terms of regenerative ability, their strength is limited. At most, their healing speed is faster.

Don't even think about regenerating a severed limb.

He was already seriously injured due to the siege by V and the Joker, and then he forced himself to lead people to steal Kano's information, which made the injuries even worse.

Even though Lin Qiao had repaired his body, the repair method was extremely simple and crude.

Once it comes to something as delicate as the spinal nerves, it becomes very helpless... Although in his own opinion, being able to survive is already a blessing from God.

"I am now a useless person. Not to mention fighting, I can't even take care of myself."

"Compared to living this way, perhaps death is easier. I only have two years left anyway."

And in this way, the conflict and crisis within the Bronze Tree caused by him will also be resolved.

Even because he personally killed this undefeated god of death, Lin Qiao's prestige among the ghouls would instantly reach its peak... Of course, only within Tokyo.

"Also, if you want to use my identity to do something, go find your husband."

"I've told him everything. Even if it's about changing my appearance, my husband will cooperate with you. He also knows me well enough that outsiders won't easily see my flaws."

"Compared to Arima Takashi who has become a useless man, the White Death is more useful to you, right?"

"......"

A statement that cannot be denied.

Whether it is to take advantage of the other party's deified status within CCG, or simply to stabilize the internal situation, this is the best option.

There is no need to stop it, and there is no need to stop it.

He met Arima Takamasa by chance, and the other party was determined to die, so he naturally would not do anything unnecessary.

And even if he wanted to do something, he didn't have the tools to restore Arima Kisho to normal... He had already clearly rejected the half-ghoul transformation surgery and Amazonization.

As for the rest...

"From what I heard from Eit, you seem to have the ability to transform people into robots and then extract their components, right?"

"Smasher...?"

Lin Qiao raised her eyebrows. That green-haired pigeon really dared to tell anyone anything!

"I'll state in advance that this ability has no healing effect, and it requires a lot of people. In your current condition, not to mention whether you can stay sane after the transformation, once the ingredients are extracted, you will die... Forget it, there's no point in telling you this."

"If you can, use that on me... I wanted to fight you since we were in Kuquelia."

After hearing the other party's reply, Lin Qiao was speechless for a moment: "Is this considered the honor of a soldier? Would you rather die on the battlefield than die in a hospital bed?"

"It's okay if you want to understand it that way."

“…I really don’t want to understand at all.”

He really doesn't understand things like Warrior's Glory, nor does he want to understand them.

Even if you hate yourself for years of killing, wouldn't it be nice to change your face and live on to create new things in the future?

But when he saw Arima Takamasa's relieved look, he shut up instead.

Take out all the full bottles except the Evolution Bottle and the Knight Bottle, and lay them out in front of the opponent.

"Is this actually a thing like this... It unexpectedly looks like a toy."

I pinched one of them in my palm and shook it, and I could vaguely feel some kind of extra power in my body.

"Aren't there other types?"

"Yes, but it's hard to say what type it will become."

"Then just be random...I'd rather try something new than a fixed type."

To give a more vivid example, at this moment Arima Takamasa is choosing the style of coffin for himself.

It's just that open-minded attitude that really makes others admire him sincerely.

"Honestly, I really envy you."

"If that Strawberry Daifuku heard you say that, he would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep all night."

"Strawberry Daifuku.....it's a cute name that really fits the child's personality."

Recalling Ibeiryu's soft and slightly confused personality, Arima Takamasa laughed in silence, then shook his head.

"Unlike me, who was also born in the Bai Ri Court but could only be a puppet of the He Xiu family from beginning to end, she met someone worthy of her trust and also had a goal she wanted to pursue."

"I am sincerely happy for the child to see that she has escaped from He Xiu's birdcage."

Just like many elderly people who are waiting for their lives to pass away, they like to tell their stories to others.

Even though he was ready to face his own death, Arima Takamasa still couldn't help but talk to Lin Qiao about some things about his past.

"And Eite, ten years have passed without me noticing. It's been a long road... It seems like it was just yesterday when that child, covered in wounds, invited me to change the world with his stubbornness."

"It's just that perhaps from the very beginning, we were heading in the wrong direction. The cornerstone of peace... If possible, I still hope you can make her give up this idea."

"Unlike me, whose life span is about to end, since the One-Eyed King can no longer be born, there is no need for her to share the same fate as me."

.......

Under the watchful eyes of the four members of Squad Zero, Lin Qiao walked out of the ward.

I came here just to respond to Et's request and to satisfy my curiosity.

The result inexplicably developed into this kind of plot of entrusting an orphan to the care of another child, and I really don't know what to say about it.

Thinking back to Arima Takamasa's eyes that entrusted him with an important task, I felt inexplicably depressed.

He turned back to take a look and shook his head.

"So, why can one or two people make people worry less..."

He rubbed his temples and took a deep breath helplessly.

The next moment, he disappeared from the spot——

Seeing this scene, the little tail that had been following him since a while ago suddenly scratched its head in distress.

Then a hand grabbed the back of her neck.

"Don't look, the person is over here—"

"Wow!"

Startled by Lin Qiao appearing from behind, Yi Bingru retracted his neck, then looked at Lin Qiao with a rather resentful look on her face.

"Really? Don't scare me all of a sudden, Mr. Ishimori."

He spread his hands helplessly: "So, if you want to go in, why don't you just walk in openly? What's the point of hiding here and eavesdropping?"

"No, that's because..."

"So, you should have heard the conversation between me and him just now, right?"

Hearing Lin Qiao say this, she was stunned for a moment, then bit her lower lip lightly, and then nodded.

Even though they had fought against each other with swords before, she didn't want to see that happen.

"But you know what? Not only you, but even the Zero Squad outside heard what I said before, but they never stopped me."

"Well, it's probably Mr. Arima's order, so Mr. Zhang and the others are doing this."

"But since you have already defected from CCG, you don't need to listen to that guy, right?"

"Eh?"

That seems to be the case?

She was a little afraid to look directly at Lin Qiao, and after a pause, she spoke in a weak voice: "...Mr. Ishimori, do you want me to stop it? But I don't know how to face Mr. Arima..."

Because of the premature aging of half-humans and the dangerousness of the investigators themselves, many children in the White Day Court, including her, have never seen their biological parents.

It is for this reason that Arima Takashi, who serves as an instructor and treats people kindly, is regarded as a father by them.

But after so many things happened, Yi Bingru's attitude towards the former became somewhat complicated.

Although I no longer have the over-deified admiration of the past, I don’t have any hatred either. I just don’t know how to face it for a while.

"But unfortunately, you got the premise wrong. I didn't ask you to persuade him."

Under Yi Bingru's wide-eyed gaze, Lin Qiao shook her head.

"Whether you want to stop him or say goodbye to him, you are free to say whatever you want to him."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to start the conversation. Just slap him in the face. I think he will pretend to be serious and say something like 'You've grown up.'"

"So there's no need to worry too much. What you really need to overcome is not the prejudice of others, but your own immaturity."

Lin Qiao's words seemed like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day.

Although it is not strong and it is hard to say it is warm, it is enough to break through the haze in people's hearts.

"Now that you know, go quickly. Otherwise, I won't show any mercy..."

Just as he was saying this, the girl in front of him suddenly stretched out her arms and put her arms around his neck, and touched it with her lips like a dragonfly touching the water.

"Thank you, Mr. Ishimori." He hugged Lin Qiao tightly, buried his face in his chest, and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

After finishing everything, he ran away with a red face.

Chapter 156: Just Complaining

Heavy snow fell from the sky.

The flying snowflakes melt into water and merge into the earth instantly after landing.

Despite this, countless snowflakes continued to fall, and soon a thick layer of white accumulated.

In a park about three or four kilometers away from the Bronze Tree headquarters, stands a simple nameless tomb.

——Arima Takashi.

Although he was surprised at Yi Bingru's growth, the man did not change his determination to die.

After transforming into a Smasher and fighting one last time, he disappeared forever.

Hazard level 1.0

Even the body could not be left behind, so all that could be built was a cenotaph.

Even so, in order to avoid being destroyed by hateful ghouls, the members of Squad Zero had no choice but to erect this cenotaph in a deserted place.

There were no eulogies or elegies, and only a dozen or so people attended.

The members of Squad Zero took turns placing pure white paper flowers in front of the monument. Under such circumstances, they had to keep everything simple.

A sad atmosphere enveloped each of them...

Standing on the roof of a building nearby, with his hands on the railing, Lin Qiao looked down at the funeral below.

"That's rare. I thought you had already pinned that pink girl down and did whatever you wanted to her. We were in the same room last night~"

At's frivolous voice sounded from behind, giving Lin Qiao a headache.

"I didn't take advantage of anyone's misfortune. And when did you change from a dove to a crow?"

Obviously he just comforted Yi Bingru...she cried for half the night and finally coaxed her to sleep before dawn.

But Et obviously doesn't care much about the truth of the matter.

"But even so, it's a bit pitiful to stand here alone in the cold wind, young man~"

"But it's okay~ I, your sister, came here out of kindness to accompany you. How about it? Are you happy~"

Lin Qiao turned her head and glanced at Et who was walking towards her with a chuckle.

The sarcastic tone always makes people want to throw her down.

Even on a snowy day like this, she was still wearing the bandage outfit.

Sitting next to Lin Qiao, his legs stretched out over the edge of the roof, swinging casually in the air.

She just sat in this position for a while, and finally shivered in the cold wind blowing continuously from the roof.

"Oh my~ It's really cold today. As a gentleman, shouldn't I..."
