the reason is simple.

Because... they are too weak.

Compared with the "Hunter" team, the entire Twintails team only has one upper-level awakener, and he has just been promoted not long ago and has not adapted to the new abilities and new powers. His combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of an ordinary seventh-level awakener.

The "Hunting" team consists of six experienced eighth-level awakeners, all of whom are elite warriors who have been on the battlefield for a long time.

Even if we ignore the traitor Frick, their strength is still far superior to that of the Twin Ponytails Team. They also have a secret burst technique and can confront Lina of level nine or above under certain circumstances. They are truly an elite team at the pinnacle of humanity.

Even if the directors took action directly, it would be difficult to kill all the members of the "Hunting" team silently.

In this situation, the "Company" and the "Fire Granter" need to carefully set up a killing plan to lure the "Hunting" team gradually into the abyss of sacrifice.

But what does the Twin-Tails Team have?

There are only a few fragile lives. There are countless teams like theirs in Victoria. For the "Company", destroying these bright flowers is just a piece of cake and can be done easily.

Their death and withering are just an insignificant part of the dust falling from the rolling wheels of history.

However, Luo Ling did not expect that the first person to be killed would be Eve, not her or Elsa.

In addition to killing her, the other party seemed to have other missions.

"team leader!"

"Sister Eve!"

The sudden change caused the team members to panic a little, but they were relatively calm and did not rush to approach Eve's body.

The training in the hatchery during this period of time has transformed everyone in the Twin Ponytails team, and they did not lose their composure even when faced with such a sudden crisis.

Cen Xiangyun and Elsa quickly walked to their respective positions, their nerves tense, alert to possible attacks from the surroundings at any time.

At the same time, Lu Manqing quickly approached Eve and tried to treat her.

Everyone present was so nervous that they were trembling slightly at this moment, but they all controlled their emotions, not looking at Eve's miserable condition, and not letting sadness control their actions.

Unknown enemies are still lurking in the dark. Even if Eve is really dead, they have no time to grieve for her death, because if they are not careful, the next life to be destroyed may be their own.

At this time, Lu Manqing didn't even care about her most beloved camera. The Polaroid camera, which she usually took good care of, fell to the ground and some cracks appeared on the shell.

A photo that was stuck halfway and had not yet been completely sent out of the camera showed the smiling faces of five people as they were about to set off.

The person who took this photo was restraining his trembling hands, carefully peeling off the girl's torn clothes, trying to treat and save her.

However, even Lu Manqing, a doctor, found it difficult to contain his fear of the horrific wound on Eve's chest. The flesh, blood, and internal organs were all mixed together and twisted into a sticky substance like mud. An ordinary person would probably never forget this scene.

How is it possible to survive this?

Even if you use...

Before Lu Manqing could think of anything, he heard Elsa's anxious voice.

"Sister Manqing——"

Even faster than Elsa's voice came another sharp sword light, which took away Lu Manqing's consciousness in an instant.

She only felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her consciousness became blurred. Her vision gradually fell into darkness, and the sounds in her ears became distant and long.

The doctor's figure slowly fell down, lying in a pool of blood with the maid.

But fortunately, her injuries seemed to have been deliberately avoided in a fatal position, which only caused her to lose too much blood and pass out, but she was still breathing.

Under the dark sky, the sword light that seemed to be everywhere was like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head, hanging in the balance, and could execute anyone present at any time.

However, even in this situation, fear still failed to spread to the faces of everyone present.

At the moment when Lu Manqing was attacked, Elsa had already caught the source of the sword light. She opened her mouth slightly and shouted a "mantra" softly, targeting a certain existence in the shadows.

At the same time, Cen Xiangyun's "elemental" ability was finally ready. She raised her ice staff and rolled up a thick blizzard from all around, whistling and surging.

However, the blizzard did not attack the target that Elsa pointed to, but instead spread out and enveloped the entire battlefield.

The pervasive snow and wind instantly blurred the vision of everyone present, and under the pitch-black sky, there was an even more obscuring effect. Those trapped in it might not even be able to tell east, west, south, or north.

Cen Xiangyun sadly realized that this enemy hiding in the dark was so powerful that they had never encountered before. He was at least equivalent to an awakened person above the ninth level... or even stronger.

After just one encounter, Eve, the strongest captain of the team, was killed directly. Because of another carelessness, even the doctor Lu Manqing who was treating patients on the battlefield fell down.

And they don't even know where the other party is, who the other party is, which weird person the other party is, or... which person.

This is beyond the ability of the Twin-Ponytail Team to handle. Insisting on continuing the battle will only result in more casualties. The most urgent task is to immediately leave the hatchery and seek help from the "Company".

While Elsa's "mantra" was taking effect, Cen Xiangyun wanted to use the cover of the blizzard to take Eve and Lu Manqing, who were soaked in a pool of blood, away.

She endured the grief and confusion, and maintained her most severe blizzard capabilities in normal times to buy time for her teammates to evacuate.

However, how could the existence in the dark not know Cen Xiangyun’s plan? It seemed that the other party did not intend to let her get her wish.

Even a shadow-filled snowstorm could not block the opponent's vision and sword gleam.

Cen Xiangyun had just raised her ice staff for a short while, and the blizzard had not yet fully formed, when the incoming sword light directly cut off her ice staff. At the same time, the sword light was accompanied by a powerful force of thought, which backfired on Cen Xiangyun, who was almost overdrawn when casting the spell.

The broken ice stick fell to the ground, and the scattered snowflakes only formed a thin layer on the ground, which soon melted away without leaving any trace.

Another failure.

The third fallen figure from the Twin Ponytails team appeared. Cen Xiangyun spat out a large mouthful of blood, and even her eyes were filled with hideous bloodshot.

She tried to struggle, but was helpless. In the end, she closed her eyes helplessly and fainted completely.

All this happened in a flash. From the appearance of the first sword beam to the time when Cen Xiangyun lost his combat effectiveness, it was only a few short breaths.

Under the cover of the pitch-black sky, the members of the Twin Ponytails team fell one after another, and now only two people are left standing.

——Elsa and Luo Ling.

"Sisters..."

Elsa bit her lip lightly, her beautiful Beatrice eyes filled with tears as she stared straight in a certain direction. She had already locked onto the other person's position.

No matter what, now... we must find this bad guy!

When the opponent attacked Eve for the first time, Elsa had already sensed the slight fluctuations and ripples of inspiration in the hatchery. When Lu Manqing fell for the second time, Elsa determined the approximate location.

Until now, Elsa's mind had already outlined a capable and thin figure, hidden in the dark hatchery with the help of some kind of object.

There was a hint of enchanting bright red in her eyes, looking through the dark surroundings.

A few more "maxims" sounded, and the thin figure had obviously suffered from the "maxims" last time. He dodged a little too much and finally managed to fall out of the object.

"Now!" Elsa shouted, and then threw out a crystal bottle, "Little Bella, go!"

The crystal bottle was opened, and a petite figure like an elf appeared instantly. A psychedelic mist enveloped her body, and there seemed to be a light, pleasant and seductive smile flashing frequently.

"Dream, open!"

Little Bella, who can only appear in the outside world briefly, tries her best to use the strange "nightmare" ability of "beautiful dreams" to influence the slightly embarrassed figure, inducing him to indulge in a gentle and terrifying dream.

Unfortunately, the effect of the dream could only last for a short moment, and the opponent had already forced himself to break free with his will. The gentle dream could not make the opponent drown, but at most it only delayed him for half a breath.

However, half a breath in the battle... is already long enough.

While Elsa was casting the spell, Luo Ling had already started moving.

When the figure in the shadow was forced to show up, the cold light was already approaching, and when he tried his best to break free from his sinking dream, a sacrificial vessel carrying the meaning of death fell directly on his heart.

The sacrificial weapon "Absolute Blade" has the ability to kill all existence.

Even the "high-risk and weird" puppet rumor cannot escape the death it brings.

"......"

The extreme danger finally made the man who had been hiding in the shadows reveal himself. He held a three-foot-long sword in his backhand and blocked the "Absolute Blade" straightly.

The "Absolute Blade" which had always been invincible and could completely cut even inanimate objects was blocked by another weapon for the first time and stopped in front of a man in a gray short coat.

The handsome boy had a calm expression on his face, except for a little regret at this moment, "I didn't want to reveal my identity, I didn't expect..."

It is really embarrassing to be forced to emerge from "time".

What's more, they are two juniors who are not even upper-level awakeners... No, that's not right. The red-haired foreign girl next to them should be more than just a middle-level awakener. There seems to be something wrong with the company's files.

...but it doesn't matter, it won't make much difference anyway, it just takes a little more effort.

Just kill them all.

"It's been a while since we last met, Mr. Lin Jianming." Luo Ling said slowly, with a hint of coldness in his voice, "Or, I should call you... "Justice"."

"It's all right." Lin Jianming nodded slightly and said calmly, "Please believe me, I have no intention of fighting you, but you are already doomed. If I don't do it, someone else will.

"Just because... you came back from that place."

Ever since Luo Ling returned from the "Realm of Nothingness" and brought back valuable information, Lin Jianming had already marked the death of this poor black-haired girl in his heart.

Even after Luo Ling was invited by the director and was given the power to enter and leave the board of directors freely, he did not change his mind, simply because Lin Jianming knew too well the three shadows standing in the firelight.

Compared to Lin Jianming himself, the directors of the "company" are the ones who will do whatever it takes, regardless of sacrifice, just to achieve their ultimate goal.

In their words, sacrifice is inevitable, and it is all for the sake of doing everything possible to save the future, even if it is already irretrievable.

This kind of person is the most terrifying.

Later, the reason why Lin Jianming sent high-level elixirs to Luo Ling, in addition to informing Luo Ling, was more importantly to show his, Lin Jianming's, attitude as the "Fire Envoy" to the "company".

It was for this reason that Lin Jianming personally visited the office of the "company", and even if Luo Ling was not there, he would leave the sent letter in the "company".

"At your age, you shouldn't be involved in these things. It's your own fault." Lin Jianming sighed in his heart, and the next moment, his sword moved again.

But he did not go directly to the black-haired girl standing in front of him, but turned to the red-haired little girl further away.

The superiors instructed that Luo Ling's soul must be preserved and there must be no loss.

To achieve this situation, it would be more difficult and time-consuming to kill, and the only variable that might be threatening was the "Dream Wandering" path awakener named "Elsa".

A seventh-level awakener could already cause trauma to Lin Jianming if he was not careful.

Therefore, Lin Jianming's idea was very simple.

First kill Elsa who is in the way, and then slowly deal with the key matters assigned by the "Company".

As the "Justice" of the "Fire Envoy", Lin Jianming has always been responsible for making decisions for the organization. Some people say he is cold-blooded, and some say he is cruel.

Lin Jianming felt that these were all correct, but not entirely correct.

He is a sword.

Held in the hands of the Firebender or the Company, this sword removes all impurities.

This was just a very ordinary task. Lin Jianming had completed it many times before. Today would be no exception and he would continue to do so in the future. This was the destiny of a sword.

As a pure sword, the only thing Lin Jianming possesses... is unparalleled powerful combat power.

Previously, it was only because he needed to hide in "time" and did not want to reveal his identity that his strength was restricted a lot, and he was successfully attacked by Elsa several times.

And now... facing a fully unsheathed sword, Elsa, who is only a seventh-level awakener, has no room to resist at all.

Soon, this sword would easily tear apart this lovely red-haired little girl, adding another source of blood to the pool of blood on the ground, and insignificantly dropping another grain of dust of the times.

But at the moment when the sharp blade was unsheathed, the sword was stopped before it could be completely cut out.

"Tick, tick..."

It is the sound of water drops falling on the water.

It was the sound of blood dripping into a pool of blood.

Under the quiet, dark sky, it was extremely harsh.

"Well..."

Cen Xiangyun slowly woke up from the backlash, her delicate but pale face full of pain and tears. She heard the terrible ticking sound, slowly raised her head, and her face instantly turned paler.

Lu Manqing also woke up with her. Her lips had lost their color, and her trembling pupils revealed shock and sadness.

"Do not..."

Another blood-red rose slowly bloomed.

The gloomy black-haired girl blocked the sword's edge the moment it was unsheathed.

Her fragile body was completely torn apart by the terrifying sword light that was so close, as easily as tearing off paper. With the residual power of the sword, even her flesh and blood were completely minced into pieces.

Cen Xiangyun and Lu Manqing, who witnessed this scene with their own eyes, were unable to utter a word. Their throats were already choked with sobs, and only their hearts of grief and anger could not flow out, because at this moment, it was extremely difficult for them to even move a finger.

Nothing can be done.
