Ark, they don't revolve around you

Roy spread his hands, "As for you, the doctor doesn't even know you've returned to Casimir, right?"

He looked down from above, "Little Platinum, don't move."

"You want to take me hostage?" Sintela continued to struggle.

"He's too strong. How can we target him without taking hostages?" Roy sighed.

"You are stupid. The Doctor is not afraid of hostages."

"Let's try it, too." Roy pressed the headset. "Monica, how about you?"

"Catch the gravel."

A struggling voice could be heard faintly from the other end of the headset. "But she's not very honest. I'm telling you, after doing this, can she really retire?"

"You're still retiring? You're lucky to be alive." Roy sighed. As a Qingjin, he was quite self-aware.

"What a hassle." Monica exclaimed.

"You caught the gravel?" Xinteleya's voice was a little higher.

"We should have attacked Lin Guang, but... we can't beat him, and neither can Xuan Tie." Roy sneered, "I can only let you suffer.

"You can only blame yourself, Little Platinum. You finally managed to escape from the quagmire, but you fell into it again."

At this moment, Xinteleya laughed.

With mockery, she said coldly: "Roy, you are still the same as before."

"Ok?"

"The methods used by the Chamber of Commerce are too common. He must know them." Xinteleya stretched out her hand and pulled out the arrow in her right hand.

Blood gushed out immediately. Bai Jin endured the pain and drew the bow again.

"You want him to save you?" Roy mocked. "No matter how powerful he is, the devil is only one person. He is not omniscient and omnipotent. He doesn't even know that you are trapped."

“So, you don’t understand.”

Xintelaiya lowered her head, "Just like Li and I don't understand him."

Lapis Lazuli wanted to taunt further, but he felt annoyed.

Reality is not a cartoon. A person who has lost his fighting ability cannot kill. The gap between Platinum and Reef and the Blue Gold combination is also a world of difference.

But why? As a killer, he was terrified.

——It’s like being stared at by a group of eyes.

His intuition kicked in, and Roy quickly looked back, drew his bow and shot. It was the most perfect arrow he had ever shot, and there would never have been a better shot in his career.

But it was crushed at the extreme position!

A streak of black flowed in the darkness, and the tyrannical eyes slowly opened.

As if it were a joke, a shadow walked out, broke the lapis lazuli bow, and shattered his hand.

As a killer, Roy retreated again and again. He no longer had the smug look on his face and became extremely panicked: "Impossible! You, why? Where's Xuantie? Damn it, they said they could stop you!"

In front of him, Zhuang Ning smiled slowly.

"Roy, what's wrong?!"

An anxious voice came from the other end of the headset, "The devil appeared at your place?"

"Monica, hurry—"

Roy stopped talking abruptly and put a finger on the corner of his mouth, gesturing for silence.

"Shhh."

The devil somehow got closer, stretched out his hand, and swept across Roy's earphones.

Facing Qing Jin who was on the other side, he seemed to have remembered something and said softly:

"You're another Lapis, Monica, right?"

"I don't like such despicable actions, so your death may be more painful."

His tone was so compassionate, "I should probably apologize for this."

then.

There was a low roar from the other end of the headphones.

It was as if an invisible beast bared its fangs and claws and made a hissing movement.

"Blood?"

"Damn it, it's eating me?!!!"

"Help! No! Damn it!"

Roy's pupils dilated and his heart pounded.

They participated in the hostage-taking out of helplessness. Roy didn't care about his partner Monica, but the two were colleagues after all.

Zhuang Ning only took away one of his combat earphones. The other earphone was still echoing with his comrade's horrible howling, mixed with sounds like eating.

It reminds us of a beast that eats people from the feet.

"How unbecoming." Zhuang Ning mocked, "Aren't you assassins? You must have done this kind of torture many times, right? Why are you so unbecoming when it comes to you?"

Roy pursed his lips, becoming more and more frightened.

The Helmets originated from a rebellion against the tyranny of the knights, but in the final analysis, they are just assassins who are paid to do the job.

Monica and Roy share the same consensus: they have no ideals, no beliefs, and just want to make enough money and leave.

Their will is not strong at all. Killing is fine, but being killed is too much.

"But where does such a good thing come from?"

Zhuang Ning stretched out one hand to Roy's shoulder and raised it, "When you kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed."

"Aren't you curious about why Xuantie didn't stop me?"

"Now, come."

He handed over the telescope, and at one end of the lens, there was a body nailed to death on the city wall.

What nailed him to death was a huge black iron arrow as thick as a gun barrel!

“This is the result.”

"You are indeed very stupid. Do you think that I won't be able to find my location even if you snipe me from hundreds of kilometers away? Do you think that even if you can't defeat me, at least you can run away?"

"That's not right." Zhuang Ning sneered, "You can't get away."

In the headphones, Monica's screaming voice gradually became quieter.

Roy, who witnessed Xuantie's death, also saw what Monica saw before she died.

It was a claw beast covered in blood, usually used to train underground gladiators.

It seemed to be controlled by the blood. It walked slowly towards Roy, and its huge pincers clamped Roy's legs.

The mouthparts opened and began to eat slowly.

"No!!!" Roy's face was distorted, and he began to curse, beg for mercy and apologize like Monica.

His voice was even more desperate, even more shrill, as if there had been countless knights begging to be spared.

Zhuang Ning no longer cared about all this. He walked in front of Bai Jin in silence. The girl was a little afraid to look at his face.

"Doctor." She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But before he knew it, his words turned into sobs and became unclear.

Zhuang Ning looked helpless: "You are here?"

"I didn't know you were here, Doc."

"You're not good at lying, Xinteleya." Zhuang Ning squatted down and stroked her head gently, "especially not good at lying to me."

"Really? After all, I didn't notice any changes in you for such a long time." Xinteleya looked gloomy, "Instead, you have always been accommodating us."

"Are you feeling guilty?" Zhuang Ning shook his head. "That's unnecessary."

"You really just don't understand me. You all are like this... Rhodes Island has too many operators like this."

Bai Jin saw that the man's face became increasingly majestic, and his pupils showed a sense of oppression.

Even so, his tone was so gentle, as if he was communicating with someone close.

"Hintlea, do you know what I'm going to do?"

"……do not know."

"So, will you follow me?"

"I can."

Zhuang Ning smiled: "Even if it's a very bad thing?"

Xinteleya lowered her voice: "But I have been a killer since the beginning."

"Doctor," she swore like a knight, "I will obey you."

PS: It’s late again today, and I’m having a serious problem with Cardinal…

Update time adjustment

Apparently I've been updating more and more lately.

Originally, it could be updated between 11 and 12 o'clock, but recently it has been updated after 12 o'clock or even 1:30.

So considering the quality issue, I decided to adjust the update time and will update around 5 pm from now on.

This will leave me relatively ample time to revise the article.

Under normal circumstances, the number of words will not change and will be 8,000.

Let's start from this afternoon.

Chapter 10: Brilliant Knight, what are you afraid of?

"Grandmaster, the Wuzhou League was completely destroyed. The corpse of the Black Iron Master of the Wuzhou League was suspected to be nailed to death on a tall building."

In the quiet building, under the dim lights, the knight reported in a dry voice, "This was all done by the Demon King alone."

Grand Knight Ioletta Russell was not surprised. As she had said before, the Chamber of Commerce was seeking its own destruction.

He is the devil, how can he be defiled by mere assassins and killers?

But this is not a good thing, instead it means further destruction.

"Why would the Helmetless Alliance listen to them and wait for their death, Lime?"

"Master, they are just a group of assassins with no moral integrity. They must have some evidence..."

Margaret Lingguang seemed not to have heard the conversation between the two. She cast her gaze on the Wall of Champions and looked at her own portrait with her head held high.

The Wall of Champions is the most sacred building in the Great Knight Territory. It is open only one day each year and hung with the names of all the champions of the special championships.

That was the highest honor for a jousting knight, but she would not be happy about it.

The Grandmaster's words still linger in my ears.

You are Casimir's only savior.

She didn't like the tone of the sentence, how arrogant it was to put everything under one person.

"Margaret?"

When she came to her senses, she and the Grand Knight were the only ones left on the Wall of Champions.

Ioletta Russell said quietly, "You still don't want to see the devil?"

"He is not a demon king, but a doctor from Rhodes Island."

"It's all the same, Knight Yao. At this moment, he is the devil who can subvert our order at any time." Ioletta whispered in an unquestionable voice.
