Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

Ginny endured the pain in her chest and felt a little desperate about the situation.

Lucy cut a large hole in the armor on her body from her left chest to her right hip.

In the middle part, the sword blade even embedded into the flesh, and some blood mixed with coagulant even flowed out of the gaps in the armor.

"Sister Jini!"

"Idiot, hurry up and leave while I can still drag them away!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Alma was about to escape, Anne stood up with difficulty and pointed the gun at her.

"I was quite confident in my marksmanship, but even if I hit the target, it didn't make any difference."

Although she was hit by several bullets, Alma was only slightly injured.

"Sister Annie, you'd better take a rest."

"Sorry, ahaha..."

"Ah, I've already said it..."

Lucy hugged Anne, who was unconscious due to excessive blood loss, silently glanced at Alma who was walking away, and then returned to the inside of the hotel.

Because she was worried about the others, she decided not to pursue.

Chapter 129 The Riddler's Girl

"Ah, I didn't expect Akatsuki's companions to be so powerful."

Morpheus watched the battle near the hotel from afar, playing with the purple crystal in his hand that had recorded the video.

"Major, you are..."

Next to Morpheus, a woman wearing armor similar to that of Gini and the others looked somewhat dissatisfied.

Morpheus's playful attitude clearly showed that she didn't care about the sacrifices made by her soldiers.

"Is there a problem? Although there's no way to get Yuliana and Crystal directly, I already got what I wanted."

"Yes…"

Morpheus had never thought that his men could successfully capture those two targets.

That's why he used the crystal to record the video of the battle between the two sides, intending to hand it over to the image processing department afterwards.

Morpheus believed that if he gave this thing to Montgomery, something interesting would happen.

"Could it be that all of Ruth Angel's 'wise generals' are now these kind of cunning guys?"

Under the moonlight, a black-haired girl suddenly appeared behind Morpheus and others.

A mocking expression appeared on her delicate and lovely face. She lightly gathered the hem of her gorgeous dress, sat on the high platform beside her, and glared at Morpheus.

"Miss, who are you?"

Morpheus signaled his men not to act rashly and tried to negotiate with the girl.

"Even if I tell you my name, you wouldn't know it, right? After all, my name is top secret to you."

"Are you kidding me? Who the hell are you?!"

"Shut up! Miss, please forgive my men's disrespect."

Although he was very dissatisfied with Morpheus's harsh rebuke, the adjutant still honestly stepped aside.

"You really value etiquette, but judging by your methods, you're clearly a hypocrite."

"Miss, you're joking. People only care about the results, not the process of getting to the desired results. Isn't the winner the king and the loser the bandit a cliché?"

"That's true. It's clear that Brother-sama also likes to play tricks, but I just can't hate him. Maybe I just simply hate you?"

The girl smiled and raised her right hand.

A ray of silver light burst out from the tip of the index finger that looked like it was carved from white jade, brushed past Morpheus's helmet, and directly penetrated his deputy who was trying to make a small move behind him.

"I'm very sorry. I didn't discipline my subordinates well enough."

"You, don't even want to discipline her, do you? You're quite smart to let me solve the problem."

The girl held up a purple crystal and admired it in the moonlight.

"when?!"

"Although it would be interesting to see how Brother-sama fights back against you, it would interfere with my business."

"Miss, it's not a good habit to take other people's things casually."

"That being said... Oh, you're here so soon."

"By the way, why is it so lively here?"

Xiao just looked at the black-haired girl very warily, without showing much hostility.

Although there was also the factor of her and Morpheus having a very tense confrontation.

But the main reason was that Xiao had an inexplicable sense of closeness to this girl.

"I just wanted to help my brother deal with the mischievous little devil, but I didn't expect to make things worse."

"Brother? You're not talking about me, are you?"

Xiao took the crystal thrown by the girl with a puzzled look on his face and briefly examined it.

However, his mind was not too much on the crystal, but on the girl's strange attitude towards him.

[This is troublesome. Why is there another girl calling me brother? This makes me look like some kind of sister collector...]

(Hey! Hina, you little bitch, stop yelling! You're messing with our generations!)

"I didn't expect it to be Sister Yiwen Jielin. I thought you died a long time ago. Oh, no, you have indeed died once."

The girl smiled gently, as if she could hear Yuwen Jielin's complaints in Xiao's heart.

(Who did you learn that way of talking from? Could it be that sharp-tongued Chloe?)

“Although it’s indeed Chloe’s fault, it’s a bit too miserable for her to be said like this.

Besides, Sister Yiwen Jielin was also raised by her brother since she was a child, right? You have no right to complain about me calling Taylor brother, right?

(You damn girl, our situation is different!)

Xiao felt a little embarrassed listening to Yiwen Jielin and the girl called Hina arguing in his mind.

"how come?!"

After failing to escape using a space item, black liquid flowed out of Morpheus's armor, and as if with consciousness, it condensed in his right hand and turned into a long whip.

"You don't think I'll really let you escape, do you, little Morpheus?"

Hina smiled as she caught the whip swung by Morpheus and turned her face towards Akatsuki again.

"Onii-sama, let this be a gift for our reunion. Don't tell me you can't deal with him."

"Even though you say you respect me so much, why do I always feel like you're looking down on me?"

Akatsuki draws his sword and launches a surprise attack on Morpheus.

"Damn it! What the hell are you doing!"

Morpheus lost his previous elegance and composure and started to curse at Xiao.

The black whip that he used to be so proud of would dissipate uncontrollably and turn into black liquid again whenever it came into contact with Xiao.

"You were the one who put this stuff in Marianne's body, weren't you?"

Morpheus tried to use a liquid shield to block Akatsuki's attack, but the same situation happened again.

Although Xiao directly hit Morpheus's body, he didn't feel anything.

"You're not covered in this disgusting stuff, are you?"

Xiao suddenly had an idea in his mind: this sword wasn't expensive, so he could just throw it away after using it.

"W-Who the hell are you?! W-Why…"

Morpheus rolled and crawled, and the embarrassed Xiao distanced himself from him.

“Although you use the word ‘curse’ quite well, have you ever considered where this ‘curse’ came from?

If you encounter a "cursed" master, what will you do? "

"Miss Hina, huh? Could you please explain it in simple terms? I'm really confused."

Akatsuki looked at Morpheus's face, which was twisted with fear, and he obviously understood what Hina meant.

Because there were already two riddlers, Evelyn and Annie, around him, he was a little impatient.

"Miss Hina is too unfamiliar, please call me Hina-chan like before!"

"Don't change the subject... Is this guy dead just like that? That's too..."

Xiao pushed away Hina who was flying towards him and looked helplessly at Morpheus who had become a corpse.

He seemed to be frightened to death.

Originally, Xiao was worried that the battle with Morpheus would be a fierce one, so he made a lot of preparations.

Honestly, I felt more pressured when I was confronting Marian...

"Do you have any expectations for this guy, Brother? Pfft, he's just a favored jester who, through a bit of bad luck, has a high adaptability to the 'Curse'."

Hina knew what Akatsuki was thinking and couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, I'll accept this 'gift' as you asked. Who are you? And what is this 'curse' you're talking about?"

Chapter 130 Xiao's Anxiety

Xiao knew that the girl could see her inner thoughts, so she followed Yuliana's way of dealing with it and didn't think about anything in her mind.

But it doesn't seem to have much effect.

"This little trick won't work on me. Although I can understand that Brother is very anxious because of the relationship between Evan Jielin and little Annie..."

Looking at Akatsuki's expression, Hina smiled with a look of successful prank.

"But teasing Brother like this is indeed very fun."

"You damn girl."

"Woo~woo! Stop pinching me! If I get deformed, you'll have to take responsibility and marry me!"

Hina didn't resist when Xiao pinched her cheeks hard, but instead joked leisurely.

"I won't get involved with that kind of thing with a dead girl of unknown origin."

"So as long as it's not of unknown origin, there's no problem, right?"

"Stop talking so much."

"It hurts, it hurts. Explaining what Onii-sama wants to know is too complicated! I can't explain it clearly right away. However, the Ouroboros contains the answers Onii-sama wants."

"Are you seducing me?"

Xiao took a big step back to increase the distance between himself and Hina, staring at the girl in front of him with great vigilance.

He clearly felt that the girl was using some means to try to guide his mind.

This feeling is different from the control of mental magic. It is more delicate and natural, making it difficult to detect.

It's also more terrifying.

"Ah, I didn't expect it to be exposed before I even did anything. But it doesn't matter, Onii-sama will go there anyway, right?"

"What exactly is your purpose? Why do you want me to go there?"

"As for the purpose, that's a secret for now. But as for the reason you want Onii-sama to go somewhere..."

Hina took a step forward and made a sweet sound from a distance that was almost right next to Akatsuki's face.

"I just don't want you to forget mom and the others..."

As soon as the voice fell, Hina disappeared under the scattered cherry blossom petals.
