Who made this administrative building have a lot of sniper spots?

I don't have nine lives, and I don't have the aura of the protagonist, and if I choose to leave at this time, I will definitely be killed by the dark arrow.

In order to save my life and continue to confirm the situation, I can only continue to go up.

There was no fear, and there was no fear.

I just went up step by step.

Silent staircase, spacious staircase.

The fifth floor, where the last high-ranking official is located.

Still empty.

This is the last place I can explore.

There was no one on the fifth floor, and it looked like Bern had tied up the high-ranking officials and went to the rooftop.

——

Rooftop.

My hands were on the doorknobs.

Before I pushed the door open, I couldn't help but think of a question.

Liability... The responsibility I have to bear this time will definitely not be small, and the person who caused this situation is me.

I don't want to shirk responsibility, but it's not something I'm good at.

Catch the ghost or something, next time I'll let me refuse.

Of course, there will be a next time.

With a messy idea, I pushed the door open.

At a glance, all the high-ranking officials in my field of vision were forced to kneel.

Sure enough, there are no miracles in this world... Although I have long since given up the possibility of this so-called miracle.

Not disappointed, I took a few steps forward.

"Bern, I thought you'd hide a little longer."

I looked at the front and looked out into the distance at Bern.

Now I don't have any strange feelings, um... Well, it seems to be a little helpless.

Bern, who heard my voice, smiled at me.

"I also thought I could lurk for a longer time, but the purpose of my lurking is for this, you gave me a chance, and I don't need to be polite."

"If it weren't for Emperor Yan reminding me, I guess I would still be kept in the dark by you."

"Thanks to you not finding out, I'm still going to be okay thanks to you."

"Thank me? You can almost tell me your purpose, right? With so many hostages taken, how could it be that there were no demands? If you can, you can talk to me first."

"Don't worry, although Emperor Yan cares about these people, but this care is based on the premise that it will not harm himself, you must know that these so-called high-ranking officials, it is very troublesome to lose them, but it is just trouble, for example, Emperor Yan is the top beam, they are the roof tiles, the tiles can be replaced at will, and the top beams and pillars... It's not easy for you to want to replace."

Is this intended to stall for time?

The purpose of procrastination... All the high-ranking officials in Daohua City are in the hands of this person.

This also means that the government agencies of Inawa Castle have lost control of the town.

Don't think that Kemp and Emperor Yan can control the town, they are the military, and military operations are certainly fine, but asking them to run a city is not something that a violent agency on behalf of the state would do.

Probably that's what Bern wants to see?

Next, as long as Heishui continues to attack, it will be a matter of time before there will be a riot in Daohua City.

This time Bern: their stuff is still very obvious.

"Are you planning to wait for a riot in Daohua City to force Emperor Yan to appear... And then attack him? Do you really think that after doing such a thing, Emperor Yan and they won't fight back?"

"Fight back? We have taken control of these people, and the entire town has fallen into our hands, and the Yan Emperor wants to fight back? Is he going to use his limited forces to attack San Sebastian?"

Just like Bern said, even if Emperor Yan wants to fight back, it is unlikely, the current initiative is all in their hands, Emperor Yan is fighting at home, and the stability of Daohua City must be considered.

It's not for himself, it's for the whole of Baratheon.

Daohua City is the choke point of Baratheon, if there is chaos here, then this chaos will be like the spread of the virus, and the possibility of eventually leading to chaos in the whole territory of Baratheon is not low, and what are the consequences of chaos?

Split, disintegration.

Just in case, I'll try to talk to Bern.

"Bern, I don't understand why you're doing this, you should know that we humans are facing the predicament right now, and if we don't stick together, there is no way to defeat the monsters."

"May, Major May, tell me, do you really think that the existence of this world is really that important?"

"Important, this is where I've worked and I don't want it to go away."

"Where have you struggled? You care, but I don't care, the world is just a stage for me, seven or eight years ago, I failed on the real stage, and now I want to do it all over again, this time without people in the way, the performance will be very successful, and it is not impossible to leave a name in history."

"Are you sure it's not a stench for 10,000 years?"

"What you said reminds me of a joke that someone used to say, "Do you want me to die so you don't want to scold so-and-so?" There's a very eye-catching comment below, do you know what it is?"

「．．．」

"Looks like you don't know what a stench is. How, isn't it a funny joke?"

"What are you trying to express?"

"What I'm trying to say is simple, do you have to die for something to prove it makes sense? Or does it have to be for someone to prove that this is true love?"

"We don't need to do it, we don't need to prove it to anyone, I just do it because I like it, not everything in this world needs to be proven."

"I'm just like you, I'm doing what I think is meaningful, so don't judge me with that righteousness, and haven't you criticized Khetia with the same words before? And more hostile to me than to me, I think the person you really should be hostile to is the one who caused all this."

"The man who caused all this... Toma！ Is the real inner ghost Toma?"

Now that I think about it, all my actions seem to have been designed by Toma.

Obviously I was asked to investigate Bern because of suspicion at first, but this investigation gave us a chance to get close to the administration building, and Toma couldn't have understood the dangers of this group of people approaching the building.

I think there is only one possibility that he can entrust me with such a task - he deliberately asked me to bring them to the administrative building.

Couldn't it all be in Toma's plans?

If that's the case, we've been deceived... And I should have noticed Toma's anomaly a long time ago, and I came here to verify Toma's information to be able to determine the authenticity.
