Gaiden: The Agent of the Machine Country Chapter 2 The Oath Under the Moon
"It's time. ”
Tonight's moonlight is like ice jade, warm, but with a hint of chill,
But the figure under this pure white moon has no time to admire the moon,
No matter how desperately he tried to escape, no matter how much he searched, the ghostly boy would still appear behind him, trying to snatch the pendant from his chest.
"It's better to give up now than to lose your life. ”
A blue beam of light struck from the right side, and before the figure could see clearly, the powerful projectile destroyed both legs,
But even so, the figure still guarded the pendant.
"Noisy... Dead Noise!Mod Activation: Arashi's Strange Beast!
Like a desperate blow from a trapped beast, a cyan storm burst out from the figure, blowing away the weeds on the plain.
Roaring and chirping, the monster known as the Arashi Beast will mercilessly take the life of its user, but in exchange for unparalleled destruction and near-perfect defense.
But unfortunately, once the user dies, the beast will also die, dissipating into the air like a light mist.
"I've already said that it's better to give up, it's a pity. ”
The sword was drawn from the figure's head, and with the sound of glass shattering, the shadow that blinded the vision also dispersed under the moon.
"Have people like you also become that person's lackey? ”
The name of the dead body is [your Clinstown], a certain young master in the country of Heping,
Growing up in an environment that was doted on by parents, whether it was money or status, it belonged to people, successful in school, surrounded by beautiful women, and it won't be long before you could inherit the family property.
But such a person was toyed with by [that person], and ended up in the wilderness with a fallen grass.
"Did you flee into the arms of your master? ”
[Mod: Chaos Devouring Beast], which consumes the user's life to summon powerful monsters, which are used to smooth out all obstacles in front of it, but will also disappear after the user's death.
All in all, it's the kind of mod that has drastic side effects, but it's also as powerful as a storm, except that this beast won't die because of it.
As long as the owner asks someone else to use the beast again, it can be summoned again.
"Christina Auduhain. ”
If I'm not mistaken, this is the eldest lady who owns the mod, and the mod was also bought by her parents from the black market at a great expense.
However, the mod itself has no hypnotic effect, and it is impossible for the user to hide under a black curtain that cannot be seen, so sure enough, other methods are used.
"This is the third confirmed victim, and there are a few more to come......
Put the mutilated body in the body bag, fortunately, his parents did not have the idea of seeing their young son alive from the beginning, or else they would have made up a lot of unso-called lies.
The black-clothed young man raised his head, looked at the bright moon that was gradually covered by dark clouds, and subconsciously threw out a question:
"Already... It's been almost a year? ”
Since that step, 10 months and 06 days have passed, and even a teenager who can't use the mod has stepped into the country of Helang in the south step by step.
But so far, this journey is just useless, the people I want to find are not in front of my eyes, and the people I don't want to see are as many as stars.
"When will my mission end? ”
Knowing that no one can answer his own questions, he still spits out his own questions.
Perhaps, it was because no one could answer that it was thrown on this plain where fireflies would not even light up.
Do you regret it? Of course,
Five years ago, if the boy had rejected the words of that figure, he would not have ended up now.
If the boy really had the courage to refuse it at that time, maybe he was just an ordinary human now, sitting at the computer desk and thinking about how to pay the next month's rent.
"It's just believing in others and throwing your fate like garbage to others. ”
What I couldn't choose at the time, what I looked forward to the glory of the future, in the final analysis, I just felt that my fate didn't matter, so I agreed to that person's conditions, came to this planet, came to this world that did not belong to me.
doesn't have the qualifications to be a hero, and there is no natural strength,
The boy is just a stranger who can't even use mods, and can't catch up with others physically or intellectually.
In this world, the most important thing is only the talent to use the mod, and the luck to get the mod, no matter how hard you try, how hard you fight, you can't do it with the strength of one person.
From the moment of the massacre in the city of Promeso, the boy understood,
He's just an ordinary person, whether it's the Alpha, or the Watchman's Center, or everyone who lives in Wandering Phildulo, he has chosen the wrong person.
"Thank you, Mr. Zero. ”
"Huh?"
I don't know when, the young man immersed in self-loathing has already braved the torrential rain and returned to the city gate of Heping, and the middle-aged man with white hair has been waiting behind the city gate for a long time.
“... I'm sorry, Mr. Clinston, but I didn't make it back alive. ”
The loss of a child he loves is too cruel for a father, but the fact is the truth, no matter how much you deny it, the deceased will not come back to life.
"No, you've tried hard enough, Mr. Zero, you're the best bounty hunter I've ever met. ”
It is precisely because of this that the father who has been white-headed overnight will stand here and personally take the body of his son from the hands of the bounty hunter.
"Madame, she ......"
"I'll take responsibility, Mr. Zero, I'm the only Edward in the Clinstown family, so it's up to me to tell her the truth. ”
It's just pretending to be strong, but I can't cry in front of the boy,
If it's in an empty alley, if it's on a balcony in a downpouring rain,
How much they will cry and cry, even a guy like a teenager can imagine it.
"You're going to catch me, right?"
It is precisely because of this that he will make additional requirements for the teenager, so he will subconsciously rely on others,
"I promise you, Mr. Edward Clinston, that either I will bring it to you or its corpse before you, and there will be only two futures. ”
Therefore, the boy made a promise, and he was not good at making promises, so he could only comfort the other party by boasting about Haikou, but it was still unknown whether he could do it.
But if you don't do it, you can't do anything.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't care where you come from, but I'll search you, find you, and then, kill you. ”
In the pendant, there is only one photo of a person, a girl with black hair and red eyes,
If it's this person, maybe it can explain everything that's happening now, if it's this person, maybe it can solve everything now, and her name is-
"I'll find you, Christina... No, stranger, I'm coming. ”
