The Devil Inside

He jumped down.

Rachel walked to the window and watched Han Solo walk towards the stables, wondering, "Han...why does he know the content of the deal between me and Commissioner Beckett?"

I don't understand.

After a moment, she shook her head and thought, "It's not that hard to know. As long as you know that Leila is a hero and have a quick mind, you can guess it. Han seems to have a sharp mind, so it's not surprising that he can guess it."

Click!

She rolled down the window and, for some unknown reason, smiled.

She looked at the direction Han Solo left and whispered, "What do you mean by 'no one will sympathize with me, they wish I were dead'... Aren't you helping me, Mr. Han?"

Uncertain future.

But the warmth from Han Solo cheered Rachel up.

She drew strength from it.

Chapter 15 #015 The Murderer

There is a high hill outside Xiaoye Village, where shoulder-high wild grass grows wildly.

A group of four people squatted in the grass. The one in front was holding a navigator's monocular telescope, paying attention to every move of the Xiaoye Village Hotel.

The four of them were the executors of this kidnapping operation and the people Adrian trusted the most.

I can't be assured if I let outsiders do this kind of thing.

The leader of the team is a muscular man over two meters tall, a third-level engraver, whose skills are much higher than those of the others. He can be called a man of "copper and iron". When he stands still, he is like a wall.

His name is Garrick Stone.

"Garrick, someone's riding away on horseback, alone, heading towards the Little Leaf Forest!"

The observer said.

"One person? Just like Master Adrian said, they chose to split up. Who is that person? Is it the brave Leila?"

"He's a black-haired adventurer who entered the base with the hero yesterday."

he?

Garrick frowned, thinking that something was unusual: "Continue to observe."

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no other movement in front of the hotel.

Someone asked, "The black-haired adventurer... is he the ignorant kid in the lumberyard?"

The night before, Han Solo threw a gold coin in Adrian's face, which really pissed him off.

Afterwards, the seven or eight close associates following Adrian were silent as a mouse, not daring to even breathe, which shows how bad the atmosphere was and how serious the situation was.

Garrick and his team were not there.

But they still knew about it. The messenger described Han Solo's appearance and added: Master Adrian would be very happy if Han Solo's head could be cut off.

Garrick shook his head. "I don't know. Most likely."

The man who spoke rolled his eyes.

Another turn.

His name is Renault Fox, he is in his early thirties and joined the gang...

It hasn’t been long since I joined the team.

When he was a child, his family had a big business. Although he was not a lord or nobleman, he was still considered a rich young man.

When he was twenty-three or twenty-four, his family fell into poverty and became homeless. His father was in debt and committed suicide by jumping into a lake. His stepmother and the housekeeper got together and drove him out.

Fox went to Arendelle to make a living. With his accounting skills, he was recruited by Adrian and was highly valued.

Compared with the other three people present, he has the least experience and his fighting ability is at the bottom, so he is not very popular.

"Got it, got it! The hero and that bitch are out, they're heading to the core of the Death Zone!"

The observer saw the movement and made a loud noise.

Garrick's heart finally died, and he said, "It's unbelievable... As a hero, Leila didn't go to rescue the hostages? In my estimation, the probability that she went to Xiaoyelin alone to rescue the hostages is more than 98%!"

He didn't know how Adrian came up with the 98% figure.

Maybe the brave man is kind-hearted and can't bear to see the villagers suffer.

The ideal situation is that Leila goes to Little Leaf Grove alone. Garrick Stone will execute the hostages in front of Leila and claim that it is all Rachel's fault.

Who told her not to come? Did she call the police?

This is so scary. We are panicking and when we panic we kill people.

just now……

Garrick ordered, "Go chop off the head of the chief of Xiaoye Village! Brothers, it's time to call it a day!"

"Got it."

One man stood up, drew his knife, and walked towards the sack not far away.

at the same time.

Fox suddenly said, "Brother Garrick, you guys go back first. I'm going to the Little Leaf Forest Cabin."

Garak glanced at him with a look of disdain: "Why go there? There's no need. Kill him and our mission will be accomplished."

Fox pointed in the direction of Xiao Yelin and said, "That adventurer, I think his name is Han Solo or something... He really deserves to die! I'm going to kill him and let him know the price of offending Master Adrian!"

"..."

Garak is weighing the pros and cons.

Fox continued, "The day before yesterday at the lumberyard, Master Adrian's words might have been a little rude, but those three Elzlia gold coins must have been real, right? What kind of commission is worth three 'golden goats'? If I were him, I would have been so happy, but what was the result? Haha."

"..."

Garak thinks Fox's judgment makes sense and that Han Solo should indeed be taught the ways of the world, but he always feels something is wrong.

"Now, this guy is alone. Don't worry about this matter. I'll take care of it. I'm going to Xiaoyelin to kill him!"

Fox didn't wait for Garak's nod.

He walked towards the horse, climbed on it, and said to the other three people: "You don't have to wait for me! We'll meet outside the Death Realm!"

"Fuck it."

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

We have all struggled and fought our way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Everyone knows who knows whom.

You say nice things, but aren't you just trying to get some attention?

One person said, "Garrick, are we really going to let him go alone?"

Garrick finally realized where his uneasiness came from.

He stood up suddenly and shouted at Fox in a loud voice: "Fox! Come back!"

Upon hearing this, Fox galloped faster and faster.

“Fuck…”

Gary said to the remaining two people, "Don't do anything! Don't do anything yet. Wait until I come back and kill the village chief. Don't act rashly before that!"

"?"

"?"

The remaining two looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

They saw Garrick mount his horse and try to catch up with Fox.

……

……

Different from the small-leaf forest and the old forest in the deep mountains, this place is quiet and deep with beautiful environment. A loess road runs through the forest, connecting the two places.

There is a tree house in the center of the woods, but it is unknown who built it.

Before the outbreak of the dead zone, a small market was built around the tree house as a place for merchants and passers-by to rest.

It is called a market, but in fact it is just a commercial street.

The bluestone-paved street stretched straight, with dozens of wooden shops on both sides. All the shops were two-story, with wooden lattice windows and covered with dark gray tiles. Some of the shops were open, while others had wooden boards nailed to their doors.

At this moment, the market was naturally empty.

“Nyaa ...

A black cat the size of a local dog crushed the mud and tiles and bared its teeth at Han Solo.

It swooped down, and inch-long claws popped out from its paws, cutting towards Han Solo's throat.

"…After riding for half a day, this is the welcome I get?"

A bright red beam flashes!

The black cat broke into two pieces and was still flopping on the ground. Han Solo was a little surprised: "I am better at using a sword than I thought... The Chrono Demon Lord seems to be good at many things."

He retracted the Blood-Ringing Sword and looked up at the tree house in front of him. The sound of horse hooves rang out at the right time.

He turned around and saw a man with a mustache riding a black horse coming from behind.

"Hello, friend!"

The man had a standard business smile on his face and seemed very enthusiastic.

He rode towards me and said with a smile, "Are you an adventurer too? Which group are you from? I'm from the Iron Wave Adventure Group—"

"Do I look naive?"

Han Solo interrupted.

"…Excuse me, what did you say?"

Mustache.

Or rather, Fox stopped smiling.

Han Solo was helpless and continued, "Do I look like a retard? Using such superficial words to deceive and attack really confuses me... Are you here to kill me or to insult my intelligence?"

So that's it, he has a lot of experience.

No.

This is not simply about experience, it is about being confident.

No doubt, no luck.

As resolute as an unstoppable blade, this black-haired adventurer knew clearly at the first sight that he was "one of the kidnappers"!

Fox was annoyed, and before he could say anything else, Han Solo's attack had already arrived -

A ball of bone-white spider silk bound Fox's arms, and with a burst of tremendous force, he was torn off the horse!

Chapter 16 #016 You don't know how strong I am

Han Solo held the spider silk in one hand and swung the whip with the other.

The horse under him neighed and galloped, dragging Fox along as he charged forward on the bluestone pavement of the market place!

Fox's family has fallen on hard times, but after all, they had been rich before, so he usually pays great attention to his appearance.

His shirt and vest were not top-quality handmade products, but they were branded goods and worth a lot of money. After being dragged around like that, they soon became a pile of rags.

My back and arms were burning with pain, and the spider silk tied around my wrists had cut into my flesh, causing blood to flow!

The physical pain was nothing; the mental humiliation made him extremely angry.

He is going crazy!

"Ah, beast, beast!"

Fox drew the sword from his waist and cut the spider silk.
