Ark, they don't revolve around you

"Yeah, we're all weaker." A whisper came from the alley, "After all, you went to Rhodes Island, and I was away from the No Helmet Alliance for a while."

"What's so good about being a killer? Once you've made enough money, the best thing to do is run away."

"But this is the identity of the Wuzhou League. You think you can escape, but the arrows of the Black Iron Throne are still aimed at you."

Another arrow.

Bai Jin caught the trajectory of the arrow and shot it backhand.

The two beams of light collided in the darkness, and a slight wail was heard, which was then suppressed back into the mouth.

The arrow had pierced the palm of his hand, and blood was flowing from his right hand where he drew the bow.

Bai Jin's hand was disabled and the outcome was decided.

Only then did the frivolous killer walk out of the darkness and look at Bai Jin with pity: "You shouldn't have gone back to Casimir, Hinterea."

"I want you to manage."

"As expected, people who resign will become tough." Lapis Lazuli smiled and drew the bow again, this time aiming at the legs.

The arrow pierced his leg, and Roy dared to approach: "Xintelaiya, long time no see."

"I'd rather never see you again, trash!"

"After all, I'm your former boss, so I should be more polite in my words." Roy said helplessly.

Platinum became suspicious:

"Are you really Roy?"

"Are you talking about this face? I told you, I had plastic surgery. I wanted to retire, but I was caught by the Business Federation." Roy's tone was slightly angry. "But you are lucky, Little Platinum. You are from Rhodes Island. You don't have to worry about the assassination of the No Helmet Alliance."

"Ah."

"No need, no one can come to save you. Except for me and Monica, all the members of the No Helmet Alliance have been sent to hold the doctor."

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."
