"Knock Knock ......"

There was a gentle knock on the door, and considering that the people inside might have rested, the people who came did not exert themselves.

"Here we are."

Lixia's voice came from the door, which was a little dull because it was through the door.

And then, the door opened. Rui's figure appeared in the doorway.

"It's time for a shift change......"

She lowered her head and whispered. Lixia nodded, making way for Rui to enter.

As a matter of conscience, Lixia didn't want her to take care of You.

Let such a weak girl stay up late, and her body will be unbearable.

Rui is different from Lixia, she is a "weak woman" in the true sense of the word.

But Lixia still didn't want to tarnish her resolve.

Even if she's trying to force herself.

And just like that, Lixia left quietly.

The room went from three people to two people, and the atmosphere was just as peaceful.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Makes you worried. ”

The face of the patient on the hospital bed was ruddy, and there was no sickness that a dying person should have.

He joked lightly, hoping to lighten up the atmosphere a little. After all, this time, it really worried Rui.

If possible, You doesn't want Rui to get involved in any danger, so it's good to spend your life peacefully.

In the face of Rui, Yu Tatsumi himself didn't know what kind of feelings he had.

Maybe it's because I feel that she is too similar to me, so I want to give her back what I didn't get? Or is it pity because she's too pitiful? No, no, maybe, I just fell in love with her beauty.

Just as You was thinking about it, Rui gently hugged his head.

Her hair smelled like lemon, the smell of the shampoo You had been buying.

"You Chen...... Great ......."

“…… Sorry to worry you. ”

The two of them hugged each other quietly, letting time pass in the peaceful moonlight.

"Master, sleep for a while...... Even if it's you, you can't go all night without sleeping, right? ”

Rui suggested easily. It is a sound reminiscent of a clear stream, and it is refreshing.

"If you go and sing, you're probably going to be a national ...... No, a world-class singer. ”

You casually said his thoughts, and Rui's face turned red all of a sudden. She shook her head vigorously, and her long black hair swept irregularly on You's face, tickling.

"Yes, for the owner, two hours of productive sleep is enough, right? I'll take care of you during that time, so please sleep in peace. ”

After living together for so long, just as You knows Rui very well, Rui also knows You very well. Including the details of how he slept only two hours a day while performing some special tasks.

"Well, that's right. Well, please. If anyone intrudes, wake me up right away. ”

You couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, plus he really needed to rest, so he agreed. He changed his head to a comfortable position and lay down, and closed his eyes.

Rui hummed an unknown tune softly, without lyrics, but it was more infectious than ordinary songs.

At the end of the song, Rui asked softly, "Are you asleep, master?" ”

No response.

In the pursuit of more productive work, rest is essential. However, many tasks have to undermine the integrity of the rest time. Therefore, there are ways to get yourself into high-intensity sleep quickly. The advantage is that it restores a lot of physical strength in a short time, and the disadvantage is that you are defenseless around you when you sleep.

If it weren't for Rui's absolute trust, You would not have been able to sleep in front of her.

Of course...... Rui also knows this.

So, the slave, who confirmed that his master was sleeping peacefully, did for the first time something that must not be done.

She secretly picked up the white sweatshirt upstream of the hanger and expertly inserted her fingers into the hidden pockets outside.

Sure enough, [that] was inside.

It's not a colloquial idea like "close pockets", but a small pocket that hides important items in the outer pockets. This is also a manifestation of your caution. If it weren't for people like Rui who knew Yu Tatsumi very well, he wouldn't know this.

Through the transparent bag, the blue powder glows with a crystalline sheen under the moon.

Joachim gave her a heart-opening test drug.

Since it is an experimental drug, it is possible to have any side effects.

However, there is only one thing that Rui is very sure of: his ability to predict appeared after taking the medicine. In other words, this medicine is what induces her ability to predict.

Without hesitation, Rui swallowed them and quickly destroyed the bag.

The way to destroy it was surprisingly simple, and Rui tucked it into her own clothes along the strap of the hoodie. That way, as long as you don't open the garment, he won't find the bag.

"I'm sorry...... Master. I—I also want to do something for my master...... All I can do is have this future premonition. Sorry ......"

In the faint sound of breathing, Rui apologized repeatedly.

For the first time, make up your mind to defy the master's decision.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

“…… How long did I sleep? ”

When he woke up, You only felt that his brain was groggy and somewhat like a fever. Presumably a side effect of an aphrodisiac.

Two hours of adequate sleep is based on the data of swimming or ordinary resilience, when his physical activity is accelerated several times, two hours of sleep is a little dizzy due to excessive physical strength.

It's like we normal people need 8 hours of sleep a day, and if you suddenly sleep for 24 hours in one go, you will wake up feeling dizzy.

"I don't know. I've been here for thirty minutes anyway. ”

In the darkness, Noelle's voice was unusually clear.

In addition to her voice, the occasional clicking, crackling metal sound can be heard. You narrowed his eyes, trying to make his vision clearer, only to see that in the dark, Noelle had disassembled his guide machine gun and was carefully maintaining it.

"It's worthy of an active-duty soldier, and you can maintain your firearms so precisely in the dark. I'm familiar with my weapons. ”

"It's worthy of being an active killer, it's a hundred times more messy than I thought...... Is there anything you'd like to tell me? ”

Noelle said, clicking on the shell of the gun, aiming it in his hand, and trying to feel it.

It also contains the threat of "dare to joke and I'll kill you".

"Well, I want to think about it...... Oh, it's the famous scene. Noelle, actually, I like you......"

Bang......

The orange-red guided bullet hit the side of You's pillow with precision, and You could almost feel the heat of the bullet grazing against his cheek. Because it was a guided bullet, there was nothing like hitting the pillow after it hit.

"I—I see. Sorry, I shouldn't have been. ”

You decisively chose to give in.

"No, there's something else to say besides an apology. It's so late, what are you doing outside? Who, for what reason, sniped? ”

Noelle walked up to him with a cold solemn expression. Under the pink-brown hair, the pupils shine with an oppressive light.

You smiled bitterly and continued to defend himself half-truthfully: "I was called out by that guy." After all, it's a peer. It's just a matter of learning skills. ”

"Oh? So, could you please elaborate on that? Assassination plan. ”

"Actually, I'm not going to assassinate anyone, but I'm stopping his assassination plan."

"So, are you stopping his assassination plan?"

Noelle squinted, and the meticulousness of the military was well reflected at this moment. Today's matter, no matter what, she has to figure it out.

"Ah, probably."

"Why, then, did you stop his assassination?"

"I don't know."

“……”

In the face of You's gag, Noelle was rarely angry. On weekdays, she often gets angry at You, but that's just the level of "anger", and she really doesn't get "angry" once.

This time is different.

Noelle is really on fire.

"Believe it or not, I'm really going to pry your mouth open with torture."

It was as if justice could be put aside for the time being, and Noelle threatened him so much.

"Believe it or not, no amount of torture can get me to speak, and I'm quite resistant to confessions."

Although You felt that as a rigid and law-abiding soldier, Noelle's claim that lynching was a great realization, he still stubbornly chose to keep silent.

It's not the machismo of [because I like Noelle, so I don't want her to risk her life]. Rather, Noelle didn't tell her [because he knew it wouldn't solve the problem, and it would only make it worse].

Not telling Lloyd that they are also the reason.

Everyone has their own specialty.

For example, Ellie, she is the best at political science and copywriting among the people, and when it comes to dealing with copywriting, 3 Yuu Tatsumi are not 1 Ellie's opponents.

For example, Theo and Hexu are the best at conduction, and if they want to do some conduction-related work, the rest of the support department simply can't start.

For example, Noelle, who has mastered the use of a variety of weapons, can stand up for vehicles, and if it is on the battlefield, You will not dare to clash with her head-on.

Therefore, being able to put people in the right position is what the planner should do.

Whether it's [Silver] or [Moon], they are excellent assassins.

If you want to stop the assassin, you don't need a leader, you don't need politics, you don't need a frontal battlefield, you can stop the assassin only the assassin who is higher than him, and the assassin knows the assassin's thinking and working mode best. Even if Noelle knew that Mayor McDowell was being targeted by [Moon], it would be useless, and the most they could do was to set up a lot of defenses around the mayor.

But what's the use of that?

Pushing Yu Tatsumi into a hurry, a [Collapse Guided Force Jump] triggered by Anigema can bring them all back to Qiyao. What's more, if there are only a large number of people, You himself is sure to sneak in and assassinate the mayor with the chain box and then come out.

And according to the extraordinary power displayed by [Moon], especially the ability to hide in the shadows, the more people who protect the mayor, the more dangerous the mayor becomes. Infiltrate the shadows of the crowd, then assassinate the mayor and flee. It is irreversible to develop like this. You don't know if the specific ability of [Moon] can sneak into the shadow of others, but it is the basic thinking mode of the killer to prepare for the worst beforehand.

Instead of telling Lloyd to make it worse, it's better to take matters into your own hands. If you don't have defense, you won't stimulate the other party, and the other party won't choose to burn the jade in a desperate way.

Therefore, Yu was even more determined in his thoughts: no matter what, no one from the Support Division would be involved in this assassin showdown.

The threat letter from Silver could be handed over to them - it had been ascertained, and it was not Silver's doing, and half of my interest was lost. I didn't think the shady things that were hiding behind could be so easily caught by Lloyd.

But Osiris of the Moon, I must stop him with my own hands. Otherwise, he could do anything crazy - if ...... If he's really aiming for me......
