As night fell, Crossbell looked particularly quiet tonight.

Leaning against the window, Li Cao lay on the balcony of the black moon without any image, and the cold night breeze blew in from the wide open window.

"Loss...... It's a tragedy. ”

Li Cao couldn't help muttering.

Indeed, the current situation is developing according to Li Cao's expectations. First of all, he deliberately withdrew the main force from Crossbell, so as to break the balance and let [Shady] replenish his manpower. Then he attacked when he saw that Lubacher was empty. This is also to force [Shady] to help Rubacher in order to further reduce the power of Shady. Li Cao also had no scruples about sending the Rose Slave Fighter who had signed a contract with him to the front line, deliberately fighting a war of attrition.

Everything was as Li Cao expected......

However, there are still things that make Li Cao feel incredible.

Rubacher became very strong.

Strong is unreasonable.

Li Cao heard reports more than once that they were able to operate heavy machine guns with one hand, and that their strength was far greater than that of ordinary people, and that they became silent and looked dangerous. And so on.

Sure enough, I still felt that something was wrong.

Li Cao began to wonder if there was something wrong with his plan. He began to scrutinize his analysis.

From Karumen's attitude and the griffin that appeared inexplicably before, it is not difficult to conclude that there is a fourth force in Crossbell and Carrumun is contained, there is no doubt about it.

According to his own experiments, Black Moon took the initiative to withdraw from Crossbell's conflict, and in order to maintain the balance of the four parties, Black Moon replenished himself with new troops. This also shows that the shady curtain does not want to see this balance upset, at least for now.

So the question is, why is the Black Moon suppressed everywhere now?

The first answer that comes to mind is that the shady curtain doesn't need to be balanced now.

This is also Li Cao's first negative answer. If there is no need for balance, there is no need to support Lubacher at all, and directly let the Rose Slave Fighters withdraw from the Black Moon, then this balance will be broken immediately. And the devastated Black Moon and Lubacher both had to choose to surrender. It can also kill two uncertainties by the way, so it is very inefficient to support Rubacher because he doesn't need balance.

Li Cao didn't feel that shady people were such stupid people.

The second answer that came to mind was that the purpose of supporting Rubacher was to keep Rubacher and Black Moon in balance.

This answer is reasonable, but it is not in line with the status quo.

Li Cao couldn't help but return to the table and picked up the casualty report. Sixty percent of the Rose Slave Fighters were wounded, two percent were seriously wounded, and the death toll was thirteen. For Black Moon, this is already a "big injury to vitality".

Therefore, the current situation is not to maintain the balance, but to comprehensively suppress the Black Moon. As a result, this answer was overturned.

Then, there is only one last possibility: the person who supports Rubacher and the person who supports the Black Moon are not the same person.

This answer is still relatively reliable.

Supporting the Black Moon is because the Black Curtain wants to maintain balance.

It was someone else who supported Rubacher, and since it was something else, it didn't necessarily have to be balanced. Maybe it's someone who doesn't like the black moon...... Wrong. If that's the case, there's no need to target me as a pawn. It should be someone who doesn't like me Li Cao, or a new force that craves chaos.

Thinking about it this way, tell Black Moon that the mysterious force that hides the [Bomb] in Lubacher may also have a leg with the forces that support Lubacher, or it is simply the same organization.

On the one hand, they were hit hard by selling Rubacher, and on the other hand, they were supported and brought back to strength. Tsk, a slap and a date? What a calculation.

"Whew...... Heheha

Li Cao suddenly laughed, this wanton and arrogant smile was almost like his usual calm and rational face. If it weren't for Liu knowing Li Cao's personality very well, I am afraid that he would feel that he was reported crazy.

"It never makes me feel bored! Cross Bell! That's great! When was the last time such a careful calculation was made! Hahaha. ”

Liu quietly watched Li Cao waving his limbs like crazy.

Li Cao, who is both a martial arts faction and a resourceful faction, is difficult to find opponents both outside and inside the Black Moon. I guess I've finally met a guy who can think about scheming with all his might.

After laughing wildly, Li Cao exhaled in a very good mood and replied to the appearance of the smiling fox.

"So, what do I do?"

Generally speaking, if the Black Moon is suppressed, [Shady] should come to help. But this time, Li Cao still didn't receive help from the shady scene. That is to say, [shady] may not need to be balanced too much...... It's unlikely, though. The fact that the Rose Slave Fighters did not rebel is the best proof of this.

That is to say......

"Hehehe, Liu, let's prepare tea. If nothing else, the people of the Karuman consortium should be coming soon. ”

"Report!"

Before Li Cao's words fell, he saw a black moon martial artist rush in, and he didn't even have time to wait for Li Cao to say "please come in", which showed how hurried he was.

"Don't worry. Did Karuman bring the guy to the pitch? ”

"Nope! It's Rubach! Lubacher called! We are understaffed! It's almost here! ”

"What?!"

The unexpected answer made Li Cao stand on the spot, and before he could reply, a dense gunfire immediately rang out, and it was getting closer and closer.

In order to lure out the help of the shady scene, Li Cao asked most of the Black Moon's martial artists stationed in Crossbell to go back, and only then did he obtain the Rose Slave Fighter Regiment, a subordinate who was not distressed to consume. But ah! The Black Moon's warriors are stationed in the Black Moon, while the Rose Slave Fighters are stationed in their own houses in the Old Town......

Rushed to help, is it too late?

You're going to call for that...... Is it a sword that goes off the rails and kills with one blow? Still is......

Pushing his glasses, the smile on Li Cao's face gradually turned cold.

Or is it ...... Simply crazy, desperate to get rid of us?

"Li Cao! You go quickly, here ......"

The loyal Liu subconsciously blocked in front of Li Cao, set up his fists, and was ready for a bloody battle.

"Hey, Liu. What are you talking about? ”

His glasses glowed, and Liu couldn't see his eyes clearly.

"Black Moon's credo is...... 'Kill when you see the enemy'. It's all here, how can you not let them experience it, the creed of the Black Moon? ”

Li Cao smiled, pushed open the bulletproof door made of alloy, and walked out generously.

Tonight, it is the ferocious moonlit night of the "White Blue Dragon" going out to hunt......

――――――――

Noelle Shika was driving with several members of the garrison to the Medical University of St. Ullsla.

The mission was to say that they would be able to strengthen the security of the hospital.

However, to be honest, this kind of task is no different from a holiday.

It's a little boring......

Noelle was on the window with one hand, propping his head on, looking bored.

As everyone knows, the team members behind him have already whispered about it.

"I feel like the sergeant is a little different......"

"Yes. You don't look like this on weekdays......"

"Hmph, so you don't understand, the so-called love ......"

"Death side, no one wants to listen to your delusions of love brain, you say, is it too tiring to work in the support department?"

"It's possible, but it's a big news to break the news to you, when I was helping Deputy Commander Sonia before, I heard the phone call between Deputy Commander Sonia and Sergeant Noelle!"

"Oh-oh?! What was said, what was said? ”

"The point is that the deputy commander said, 'So how about him,' and he was talking about the male 'he'!"

"Hey, is it really a boyfriend? I thought it was a rumor. ”

"Tsk, it's said to be the elite of the Support Division."

"Speaking of which, what are you talking about in the Support Division?"

"It's the one that's been formed recently."

"Oooh, the one who solved the assassination of the mayor?"

"It seems that they were the ones who helped us solve the military dog incident before."

"Well, that's right."

"You probably met at that time, right?"

……

Noelle is very entangled right now.

Should they be told that the garrison's armored vehicles are "bulletproof" rather than "soundproof......

All your gossip has been spread!

Noelle sighed depressedly, although he thought that he would be talked about when he came back, but he still felt depressed when he actually met it.

The conversation continues.

"Hey, let me tell you, the sergeant before he left on duty...... I even prepared a special gift! ”

"Gifts?!"

"En. After the sergeant came back, I saw her, in a daze at a package! ”

"Oops~"

"But since it's a package, it's possible to be sent by someone, right?"

"You're stupid! If someone sends you a package, will you be a nymphomaniac at the package! I must take it apart first! ”

"That's right."

"So~~ that must be ......"

"It must have been a gift I bought myself, so I know what's in it to be a nymphomaniac, isn't it......?"

As a last resort, Noelle took a sentence in a weak tone, and there was no sound in the carriage at that time.

So...... You guys really are.

There's no need to care so much about other people's affairs, right?

"Wait, Sergeant! There! ”

Suddenly, the passenger in the passenger seat pointed to the forest next to it, where an unrecognizable person or something else was staggering through the forest.

Because he was talking back to the back just now, Noelle subconsciously ignored him. However, when the co-pilot said it, she also felt a little curious, could it be the person who was attacked? Noelle immediately braked, and everyone's bodies fell forward after receiving the inertia, and with the momentum of this dumping, everyone picked up their weapons and quickly got out of the car to form a small propulsion formation.

Noelle cautiously drove his portable searchlight into the forest. It was a dazzling pillar of light, but the creature was not driven to close its eyes.

His clothes were tattered from the hooks of the forest, his bare skin was covered with abrasions, his clothes were almost rags and barely recognizable as a hospital gown, his hair was black, he wore a silver prom mask, and strangely enough, some strange golden necklace seemed to be hanging around his neck.

This person...... It's familiar......

Noelle thought.

"Hey! Who are you? ”

Apparently, in response to the voice, the visitor raised his head in the direction of the deserted, his unfocused eyes staring vacantly at the almost black forest.

"Bye...... Tell...... Luo ......"

Unable to utter a complete sentence, the man collapsed from weariness.

"Hey!"

Noelle hurriedly took two steps forward and hugged his body.

Very light.

It's not like the weight of an adult man.

Perhaps it was touching the wound on his left rib, and the man's body subconsciously twitched.

This reaction...... Noelle suddenly had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

When he lifted the mask, he revealed the face that appeared in his mind from time to time.

"Hey! Yu Tatsumi! Wake up?! Who's going to help me get the first aid kit! ”

――――――――――

Near the hospital, the two watched as You Tatsumi and Noelle converged.

"Now, Lancet, are you really not going to help?"

"Hehe, don't worry. That guy is much more powerful than you think. ”

"Yes. If you think that's good, I don't have any objection. ”

"Well, don't worry, Dior. If that guy dies here, it means that he is only a weak person of this level. ”

"It's not so much that you're not worried, though...... Actually, you've seen it. ”

“…… Cut, I can't hide it from you. Well, got it. [Fate]. ”

"He's, won't die here. Right. ”

"Who knows, Sa. You know, I'm just a joke. ”

"Hehe, I can't argue with that. Lanster. ”

"Hey, you're retorting to me! We're friends! It's a close friend! ”

"Who knows."
