NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

"?"

Hearing a prisoner's nonsensical words, the man in the suit stared blankly into the other's bloodshot eyes, his confusion deepening.

Who, who wants to kill him?

"I……"

boom! ! !

Before the long-haired man lying on the ground could defend himself, a solid iron fist landed squarely on his cheek, sending him into a sweet dream.

……

……

"You failed to fulfill your duty of protecting the target 24 hours a day. As required by the boss, you must accept the punishment."

Backstage at the book signing, a Missilis field agent with a buzz cut and sunglasses stood in the middle of the hall, looking down indifferently at Eunice in front of him.

"Make Missillis lose face during the three major company meetings. As per the boss's request, the punishment you receive will be more severe."

"……Yes."

The twin-tailed loli lowered her head dejectedly, her expression timid.

"It's Yuni's fault."

Snapped! ! !

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, an iron whip lashed across her fair thigh. Although it failed to break through the high-strength bionic skin, the pain sensor simulated the corresponding pain, directly affecting her brain.

"and many more!"

Seeing this, Mihara, who was standing to the side, felt sorry for her and stepped forward to protect the pitiful Yuni behind her.

“I’m willing to take the punishment for her, even if the punishment is escalated.”

"Whoever the boss designates, that's who." The crew-cut man's previously indifferent lips finally revealed a long-hidden look of disgust. "Get out of my way, you slut who likes to get beaten up."

Mihara: "..."

Snapped! ! !

Another iron whip was lashed out.

Unlike when he whipped Yuni, this time the iron whip, under the control of the crew-cut man, revealed its true form, covered in barbs, just like the corners of his mouth.

moment!

The snow-white trench coat that Mihara was wearing was torn open by extremely sharp barbs, and a catalyst that simulated blood seeped out from the broken skin, and its smell and color were no different from fresh blood.

"..."

However, this pain was nothing to Mihara, who was often shot in the abdomen by Shun to vent her anger. Compared to the physical pain, the undisguised malice of the other party made her feel real pain.

on purpose……

He knew she would stand in front of Yuni, so he was prepared to use the whip to lash himself.

"Are you sure you don't want to leave?"

The crew-cut man seemed to have already accepted the answer; he had only asked a token question before raising the barbed iron whip in his hand…

boom!

at this time……

The iron gate connecting the backstage area to the main stage was suddenly flung open. Warren's new agent stumbled backward, pointing panickedly at the exit and shouting in a terrified voice:

"Murder, someone wants to kill me, it's someone wearing..."

The man spoke with utter terror, then turned to look into the hall, where he met the eyes of the crew-cut man.

"Black, black suit...you're going to kill me too?!"

"?"

Who wants to kill him?

The crew-cut man, still confused about what was going on, stood there dumbfounded.

In that brief moment of distraction, the man just a few steps away seemed to be provoked and suddenly pulled a cell phone out of his pocket, hurling it at his face with astonishing force.

Boom! ! !

His sunglasses shattered, and the corner of his phone smashed into his eye socket, turning his eyeball into a muddy mess like a cannonball.

The next second, a fist carrying immense force slammed into the crew-cut man's crotch, the fist, the size of a sandbag, sinking completely into his trousers.

Gudong!

The injured man collapsed unconscious, causing the male staff members around him to instinctively clench their legs together.

The violent man in the center of the hall, now acting like a madman, looked around and roared:

"Who else wants to kill me?"

come out!

Who else wants to kill me?!

Chapter Thirty-Nine: It Doesn't Seem Like Acting

Faced with Phoenix's frenzied entrance and violent behavior.

The backstage staff, who were completely unprepared, were dumbfounded.

Even Mihara, who was bracing himself for the whipping, was stunned.

Only Yuni, hiding behind Mihara, peeked at the crew-cut man on the ground before looking up at the commander who was still looking around.

Then, she happily stuck out her tongue and whispered to Mihara:

Yuni thinks the Commander is a good person~

"..."

Mihara did not answer, but looked at the commander with a complicated expression, unsure whether he was faking madness or truly going insane.

Her body was frequently damaged by Shuen without her knowledge. As a result, she was also an old acquaintance of Pepper and Merri from Ark Hospital, and had heard from them about the terrifying deeds of Commander Phoenix.

Pepper, in particular, would have her beautiful cherry blossom-colored eyes sparkle whenever she talked about the commander.

……

……

"Pepper! Slow down! The ambulance isn't downstairs yet!"

At Ark Hospital, Mei Li, carrying various medical kits in both hands, helplessly ran out of the first-floor service hall under the curious and puzzled gazes of patients, nurses, and staff.

“The commander only requested an ambulance, not that he needs medical attention himself, Pepper! Calm down a bit.”

"Senior Merri!"

Carrying large and small bags, Pepper, who had been waiting at the hospital entrance for a long time, excitedly pointed to the road.

"Hurry, hurry! There's a vehicle that just returned with a patient! We can ask our superiors for permission to go directly in this ambulance!"

Clang!

At the girl's rather excited suggestion, the ambulance door opened quickly under the driver's operation, and several medical staff pushed a stretcher from inside the vehicle and steadily moved the injured person to the ground.

Lying on the stretcher was a male patient with a broken leg. Pepper could tell at a glance that the man was not in mortal danger.

"You're Dr. Pepper!"

The injured patient looked up with a mixture of surprise and delight, then admiration, only to have his head pushed back down by the nurse's hand in displeasure.

He never imagined that simply breaking his leg while skateboarding would earn him a visit from Dr. Pepper…

"Senior Merri! Let's get in the car quickly, the Commander is waiting for us!"

After speaking, the girl gave the injured patient a professional smile in response, and then climbed into the ambulance on her own.

“Dr. Pepper…”

Seeing this, the man with the broken leg was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something to start a conversation, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a pretty figure flashing past him.

"plum……"

Clang!

A sharp sound followed immediately, and the moment Merri rushed into the ambulance, Pepper manually closed the rear door.

With the engine roaring to life, the ambulance, which had stopped for less than seven seconds, sped off into the distance once more.

Along with it, the gleam in the eyes of the man with the broken leg also faded away.

……

"Excuse me! Please make way!"
