I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

"It seems that you still don't enjoy the pleasant feeling I brought you enough. The expression suddenly becomes so bad. Are you looking down on me? Ah!?"

Ferlangen threw the silver needle in his hand aside, and took out a strange device from his pocket, like a starfish with three legs.

"My little cutie, have you seen this?" He pressed the switch on the device, and the countless tiny needle-like ratchets on it began to rotate slowly, and the thing like a suction cup in the center wriggled continuously .

"Even the instrument I've been using for the longest time couldn't stand this thing and passed out in 15 minutes. I don't know how long you can last?"

"Oh, by the way, this thing is placed here!"

Isabella looked down at the squirming mechanical body in the hands of the blond man, which was slowly approaching her abdomen, her eyes gradually filled with fear, she held her breath, pursed her lips tightly, and kept lightly Shaking his head lightly, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Snapped!

A document was thrown on the table by Jane who jumped directly into the hall through the wall, and then she said a name: "Dispal!"

Klaus stared at the document in front of him. It was marked with the name of an organization, which was the name Jane said.

"They are a secret organization that engages in a series of illegal activities such as fraud, human trafficking, and hiring murders. They have only been active in other worlds for a long time. They have only been involved in HL's underground black market in the past six months." Jane said: "Inside The members only have code names and never use names to match each other. There are many troublesome people, and the identity of the leader is even more of a mystery, but according to rumors, their leader may be an elder-level or above-elder-level Blood Realm dependent."

"Oh?" Cheng Rang was a little surprised by this, and asked, "What rumor?"

"It is said that their leader has not changed for hundreds of years."

"Did they kidnap Miss Campbell's sister?" asked Klaus.

"To be precise, it is one of their countless branches." Jane turned to one of the pages of the file, pointed at a blurred figure in the photo with her finger and said: "Heiyin, the characteristics are invisible no matter what. With a face and a tall body completely wrapped in a black windbreaker, its combat strength is unknown."

"At around 3 o'clock yesterday morning, he entered Miss Campbell's apartment building and walked out three minutes later carrying a human girl with short blond hair in a white dress." KK stood in front of Ellerbella's apartment door. , an alien is stepping under his feet, it is the neighbor across from Ellerbella, and at this moment, KK is pointing a gun at his head.

He lay on the ground trembling and begging for mercy.

"Don't kill me, I've told you everything I know! Their lives have nothing to do with me, why should I care!"

"Tsk." KK held up the phone and spat disdainfully: "Are you clear?"

"The dregs on the road have heard that Dispal seems to have received a huge order here recently, which is related to human trafficking." Zhabu lit the lighter and lit the cigar in his mouth.

Fighting Blood, Vulcan, Seven Prisons.

Along with it was a large mass of colorful corpses that had been hacked up, and a huge abandoned warehouse.

"Where's the buyer?" Cheng Rang asked.

"The King of Desire—Furlangen." Jane finally took out a piece of paper from her chest and patted it in Cheng Rang's palm.

Looking down at the address on the piece of paper, Cheng Rang squeezed it into a ball, held the long knife at his waist, and said, "Mr. Gilbert, would you mind giving me a ride?"

"Of course no problem, Mr. Cheng."

"Don't we need to go together?" Stephen asked at the end.

Cheng Rang turned his head and looked at Elebela who was sitting on the sofa and clenched his fists, and said, "No, I'm very grateful that you can help me find out everything so quickly, and the next step is my own." It's a private matter, so don't bother you any more."

"Cheng, are you really okay by yourself?" Klaus said in a very serious tone.

Cheng Rang stared at Klaus' eyes, which were full of concern for himself.

He smiled, turned around and walked into the elevator, followed by the old butler Gilbert who was going to drive the chariot for him.

"No problem, no problem, I have never met anyone who can take my second knife!"

"Ah, I didn't mean that, I mean, can you know the road in the building by yourself? The terrain there is very complicated." Klaus stood up and added.

"Eh? Is that right? I thought it would be over if I went in and cut people down. I'm not very good at navigating mazes. Wait... hello?"

The door of any elevator closed, and Cheng Rang's shout disappeared into the hall of Labra.

The originally serious atmosphere seemed a little awkward because of Cheng Rang's words just now. Stephen raised his hand to cover his mouth and pretended to cough twice, and said to the smiling Jane beside him, "Well, you should go and help him. .”

Jane then shrugged her shoulders and curled her lips to look a little displeased, but then she still faded away and disappeared in place, apparently to follow Cheng Rang's footsteps.

Chapter No.16 The Angel Entangled in Thorns ([-])

Outside the window was the scenery that passed by quickly. Gilbert was driving the car steadily, and Cheng Rang sat quietly in the back row, holding the long white knife tightly in his left hand, and gently pondering with his thumb on the smooth outer wall of the scabbard. The middle is the memory of Stephen talking to himself alone a few days ago.

"Cheng, come here." Stephen's voice woke up Cheng Rang who was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"En." Cheng Rang got up and followed Stephen to his office.

"Sit." Stephen smiled gently, motioning for Cheng Rang to sit on the chair opposite his desk.

Flipping the sign at the door, Stephen gently closed the door:

do not disturb.

Cheng Rang looked at Stephen who loosened his tie and sat bowed in front of him, and asked, "Mr. Stephen called me over suddenly today, what's the matter?"

"What is your purpose for joining Labra?" Stephen's tone was calm, as if he was asking a question.

Cheng Rang smiled: "Of course it is to get the salary."

"is it?"

"..."

Cheng Rang was silent.

I had seen the Blood World Battlefront many times in my previous life, and Cheng Rang knew very well that Stephen in front of him had completely seen through his heart, but he didn't really reveal it.

Stephen is a very thoughtful person with a lot of eyes and can easily see through other people's next moves, but he always treats others gently and does not reveal his true feelings.That's why Sister KK has always been dissatisfied with acting as a partner with Stephen.

"This shady man actually has a terrible personality! But he always pretends to be a good guy in front of you. It's really annoying and not frank at all." This is what Sister KK said to herself when she was drinking with her one day. of.

"But, he is really good at reading people, Cheng." KK shook the wine glass in his hand gently and said, "Being able to successfully join Lebra does not mean that you only need to be strong enough."

"You still need to have enough desire. As for what is the desire..."

After pouring the last sip of wine into his mouth, KK slapped the glass on the bar, turned around and left:

"You need to figure it out for yourself."

Cheng Rang looked into Stephen's eyes silently, and said, "I don't know."

"yes."

Stephen straightened up, leaned back on the chair, paused for a while, and said, "Do you know why I haven't assigned you any more tasks?"

"The main body is fragile, is the shot serious?"

Stephen laughed: "That's just an excuse."

"That....."

"Pull out your knife."

"what?"

Stephen stood up from his seat and repeated: "Pull out your knife."

Cheng Rang was startled, put his right hand on the handle of the knife, and listened to Stephen's words

.

The long knife was out of its sheath, and the blade hummed softly. The mirror-like smooth and flat blade reflected intoxicating brilliance under the sunlight.

"Attack me."

Cheng Rang's eyes widened in disbelief: "But!"

"Attack me." Stephen put his hands in his pockets, and his expression was loose, making people think he was joking at first.

But Cheng Rang, who stared into Stephen's eyes, knew that the man in front of him was serious.

"You will die." Cheng Rang said.

"Then don't kill me."

"what?"

Stephen looked at the bewildered black-haired boy in front of him, sighed silently, and said, "Cheng, you are really strong."

"I think that even if I am ten times stronger, I will not be able to survive a second under your knife, but."

"I can't see your determination to kill the target with one blow every time you use the knife, but no one can survive under your knife. What is the reason for your knife to swing? where?"

Stephen walked up to Cheng Rang, pinched the long knife in his hand with his fingers, and slowly raised it to his eyes.

"Or, what exactly are you wielding the knife for?"

Cheng Rang subconsciously let go of the hand holding the knife, and Stephen easily held the long knife in his hand.

A few seconds later, the long knife in Stephen's hand suddenly disappeared, Cheng Rang's waist sank, and the knife that was still in Stephen's hand just now reappeared in the scabbard around his waist.

"I don't know." Cheng Rang said.

Yes, he doesn't know.

I don't know how long I stayed in the novice space. I was alone in maxing out my skill proficiency. Then I walked out of there and came to Helsalem Zlot, where I slashed the first blood I met. The Jie family members joined Lebra.

But what is all this for?Did you join in just because you watched the anime and liked the organization and characters in it?

If he just had such an idea, could he fool Stephen in front of him?

He knows, can't.

"You are human, but you don't belong to this world, right?" The words Stephen said caused Cheng Rang's heart to set off a storm.

Stephen didn't care about Cheng Rang who suddenly looked shocked in front of him, but went on to say to himself: "I asked Jane to check your details, and found that there is no one named Cheng Rang in this world, I mean, Someone who fits your profile."

"And your special and powerful sword skills are even more unheard of by us. Without your real name, you can directly kill an elder-level blood family member with a single knife. This kind of sword skill that can be called a 'miracle' is impossible to suddenly appeared in this world."

"That's why I can conclude that you are not a human being in this world."

"Then why did Mr. Stephen let me join Labrali?" Cheng Rang asked.

At this moment, Stephen smiled helplessly, and said, "It's not that guy Klaus, he pledged his life to me that you won't be a bad person."

"Although this guy is a bit messy, I have to admit that he is also very accurate at seeing people." Stephen continued: "He said, he can see your inner desire."

"Mr. Claus?"

"Yes." Stephen nodded: "He told me that you are eager to find a sense of reality, a sense of reality for this world..."

Cheng Rang suddenly realized.

Yes, this is it!realism.

I don't have the slightest sense of reality about this world.

In this world, with the help of this system, he does not have a real sense of being a human being, but is like a player playing games in a fantasy world, drinking will not get drunk, killing monsters with a single knife, without blood Splash, the body pieces shattered, but turned into colorful light spots like data fragments, dissipating in mid-air.

The system describes itself as a player rather than anything else, using skills, killing monsters, gaining experience, and completing tasks.

It's not that I have motivation in my heart, but I follow the guidance of the system like playing a game, or take actions as I want.

The so-called friendship is not real friendship, but just a proof that I want to get even a little more sense of reality that actually exists in this world.

As if separated by an invisible barrier, I have always been the person sitting behind the screen.

One, very lonely man.

"Cheng." Stephen called his name, and then asked, "What do you really want to pursue?"

yourself, what you really want to pursue.

Cheng Rang opened his eyes wide in a daze, and asked his own heart.

What is this lonely self that really wants to pursue and possess in this world... what is it?

The faces of every member I knew in Labra appeared in my mind one by one, which I knew and was familiar with in the anime called Blood World Front.

And not familiar in this city called Hershalymzlot.

They already consider me a friend, but I...

Cheng Rang slowly raised his head, looked at Stephen who was smiling at him, and said:

"I want to have a reason to fight with my life, that's all."
