Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

What exactly happened?

Bai Xi and Chaos stared at each other in astonishment. At that moment, Bai Xi clearly understood the situation, but he was speechless with emotion.

Then, he turned around and looked at Alice behind him.

At that moment, all the pain from before seemed to have vanished from Alice's body. No more black blood flowed, and no more pain appeared on her face.

She simply went back to being that ordinary little girl.

Chaos also looked at Alice, his gaze shifting many times in that instant, until finally he sighed deeply and lowered his head.

Alice.

He spoke in a somewhat hoarse and tired voice:

"I have some things to take care of today, so I might have to leave early."

Upon hearing this, Alice pursed her lips slightly, but still obediently nodded. Seeing this, Bai Xi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ultimately, he was a child who lacked love.

He subconsciously reached out to touch Alice's head, but Alice deftly avoided his touch, making Bai Xi a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Bai, would you like to come with me?"

Then, Chaos turned to Bai Xi and asked quickly. Bai Xi thought for a moment, then nodded.

Goodbye, dear girl.

He turned to Alice, waved, and said:

"I'll teach you what friends are when I have the chance next time."

Alice nodded slightly, one hand behind her back. Then, Bai Xi and Chaos exchanged a glance and hurriedly ran out of the basement.

Even Bai Xi wanted to know what had happened during the short time she was gone.

The two quickly left the basement. Behind the tightly closed basement door, Alice's face rapidly turned pale.

She couldn't cough; she could only watch the black blood congealing on her fingertips and feel the intense pain coursing through her entire body, which once again distorted her lovely face.

That was a pain powerful enough to shatter a person's reason in an instant.

The pain had never left her since just now. All Alice had done was hide it from Bai Xi and Chaos.

It was difficult, but she did it, didn't she?

A pale smile forced a smile onto her lips as she murmured in a low voice:

"Thank goodness, I didn't worry them..."

So the young girl slowly collapsed in the basement, silently licking her wounds and enduring the pain.

In the solitude and silence.

........................

Earlier, while Bai Xi was confronting Chaos, Natis was walking through Mansfield Manor.

She looked around the manor, strolling around casually, with no indication of whether she had any particular destination in mind.

As she walked past each flowerbed, she would stop and linger, picking up a flower bud with great interest, as if admiring its beauty.

She was, at this moment, the most insignificant and idle person in the entire manor. No one came looking for her because she was irrelevant to everyone.

She seemed pleased with this, as if she were simply waiting for something.

Just like waiting for the flower bud in front of me to mature, it's like waiting for the thing I've been hoping for to happen.

"Miss Natis."

Suddenly, a soft call sounded behind Netis.

When Natis turned around, he saw Jiang Lingyi, a friend with whom he had rarely communicated.

"Ah, it's Bai's assistant. What's up?"

So Natis nodded happily, opened his arms to her, and asked.

"It's nothing, I just happened to run into you while I was taking a walk, so I just said hello."

Jiang Lingyi shook her head, answering the question calmly. Natis glanced at her, then looked away.

"Would you like to enjoy the flowers together?"

She suddenly extended an invitation out of the blue, and Jiang Lingyi was taken aback for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

"OK."

So she hurried after Natis. Natis led the way, and the two of them strolled through the flowerbeds.

"I really like the flowers here, Jiang."

As Natis looked at the flower buds and the few blooming flowers, she said without turning her head:

"Immature things always give us hope, don't you think, Jiang?"

"Me?"

Behind Natis, Jiang Lingyi's voice came. She seemed to be thinking. However, after a moment, Jiang Lingyi sighed softly.

"Unfortunately, I can't appreciate that kind of beauty. I prefer fallen petals to buds. But of course, fully bloomed flowers are the best."

"It is meant to be admired from afar, but not to be touched. I like it very much."

As Jiang Lingyi spoke, she seemed to remember someone and fell silent.

"That's a very agonizing thing. After all, just being able to admire flowers but not being able to bring them into your own garden can drive people crazy with envy."

Natis joked.

Behind her, Jiang Lingyi nodded in deep agreement, and then completely pulled out the sword that had already been drawn three inches from its tip, plunging it into Natis's back.

So suddenly.

Her voice was as cold as frost in March:

"So, don't touch my flowerpot!"

In that instant, the steel sword spun!

[Automatic hit! Critical hits deal an additional 1d4 damage!]

【伤害检定=1d6+1d4+1d4+2=4444242=12点】

Natis paused for a moment, feeling a piercing pain in his back, but a smile appeared on his lips. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Jiang Lingyi sigh.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

She murmured, then paused and added, "Fortunately, there are still some other remedies."

In that instant, Natis heard a soft click. Then, her eyes widened.

A destructive force erupted behind her at that moment, sweeping across everything with a dazzling golden light, roaring wildly and venting its fury!

It was as if destruction had come!

At that moment, Natis's eyes widened, and he looked up in disbelief, but instead of looking in the direction of Jiang Lingyi behind him, he looked towards a certain place on the horizon.

"Why...?"

She uttered her dying words in confusion, but there was no more to it.

Why is it that her power can travel such a long distance to reach this place?

In that instant, the doubts vanished with the eternal slumber of destruction, and Netis slowly collapsed to the ground. But in the end, she instinctively uttered a single sentence:

"Don't think this is the end..."

"Our journey is far from over; let us meet at the end of time..."

As the words faded into the air, Netis's body fell face down, with a huge hole behind him, and black, congealed blood flowed down the hole onto the ground.

Jiang Lingyi watched this scene, sighed softly, put away the blood-stained sword, and took out a pack of women's cigarettes from her waist.

Then, he lit the fire, sat quietly beside Natis's corpse, and slowly and calmly edited a message for Bai Xi and sent it on a set time.

When the butler, on his daily rounds, arrived and saw Natis's corpse, he paused for a moment, dropped the kettle, and scrambled towards the manor screaming, shouting shameful things like "Murder! Master! Come quick, Master!" while tears streamed down his face.

Jiang Lingyi finally exhaled the first puff of cigarette smoke, looked at the burning cigarette butt, and shook her head helplessly.

After a long while, she put down her cigarette, stood up, and calmly accepted the handcuffs handed to her by Layton, who had a gloomy face.

He couldn't help but smile.

He waved and smiled at Bai Xi, who was hurrying towards him from afar.

Bai Xi saw her lip movements clearly:

"Come find me later. After I explain everything, the rest is up to you."

He stopped in his tracks. In the sunlight, the cigarette butt at Jiang Lingyi's feet emitted its last wisp of smoke before going out.

And the smile on her face, under the bright sunlight, was so peaceful and beautiful.
