Chapter 27: Determination (1)

The result of the discussion was that the three of them changed shifts, and while Lixia took care of You, Rui rested in Lixia's room, and Noelle rested in his room. The number of shifts is in the order of Lixia, Rui, and Noelle.

At the time of parting, Noelle repeatedly told Lixia to pay attention to safety, and after Rui Bangyou changed his clothes, You was wrapped into a sushi roll by Noelle with a bed sheet, and tied it with a rope. More like a prisoner than a patient.

After all, You asked for an aphrodisiac, and it wouldn't be good if he had the guts to do something beastly.

Noelle said that he has no guilt and that this is a necessary safety measure.

You had just taken the medicine, her face was as red as a fever, and Lixia did not have You's keen breath perception, but she could still sense that You's life activities were much faster than usual. If the toxin is a toxin that the body's immune system can excrete, then the solution is quite effective.

"This Crossbell is really dangerous."

As if trying to open up the topic, Lixia said nonchalantly.

"Hmm. Laugh if you want. obviously said that level of big words, but it turned out to be a big heel. ”

You's tone is still as gentle and casual as usual, perhaps, mixed with some bitter feelings.

After all, he had just said such a confident thing to Lixia before, and now that he immediately fell, anyone would feel that their face was dull.

As if comforting You, Lixia smiled with relief.

"Can Senior You lose like this, is he a master?"

"Ah, super master. Killer's NO.2. However, looking at that skill, even if it is NO.1, it is not an exaggeration. ”

"Really......"

"Seeing me like this, aren't you ready to stop?"

Lixia paused, her lilac eyes turned to the window, and the swim on the bed couldn't see her expression.

"Why not ask for help? Lloyd, Randy, or ...... Me. ”

Lixia's voice sounded natural. Moonlight shone on her through the window, emitting a faint purple glow.

"Lloyd can't. He's the overzealous type. Maybe not, but I know that if I told him, then he would be bent on going against the association and making trouble for them. The truth is always in the hands of powerful people. Lloyd was too naΓ―ve, too good, and too weak. Therefore, I will never tell him this kind of thing, and I will never mention it. ”

"Randy was too impulsive. Although he is very combative, he is only limited to the battlefield where frontal conflict is the mainstay. The real battle involves complex forms such as intelligence warfare, assassination, infiltration, strategy, and so on. Randy is too easy to be taken advantage of, I'm no match for Randy, but if I'm really determined to kill him, then Randy won't be able to resist. He is like a sharp sword, if he doesn't use it well, he will be snatched by the other party and kill himself. ”

"Noelle is too righteous, Ellie, and Tio aren't strong enough, as for you......"

Lobbying said this, did not continue, just smiled slightly, and plunged his head into the pillow as if giving up.

"Because you want me to get out of the killer, why don't you contact me?"

Lixia still tilted her head sideways to prevent You from seeing her expression. You hummed lightly in reply.

"Really, you're a bad guy too."

"Hehe, I'm actually a rotten scumbag. Tacticians can ruthlessly exploit everything around them. Including the attitude towards you, I hope that you will not go against the support department. ”

"It was better to do that."

Lixia turned her head, her brow furrowed wrinkled, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, and she looked at You with a complicated expression as if she was looking at her mischievous son.

"Now, You-kun, can I leave for a while? About 10 minutes. ”

"Well, please."

You's body moved, as if he wanted to do something subconsciously, but due to the restraint of anesthesia and quilt, he still failed in the end.

"Well, I'll be back in a minute." Lixia stepped on one leg of the window, followed the example of the previous swim, and tumbled into the night sky.

――――――――――――――――――――

Somewhere in the underground space of Crossbell.

The gloomy room was littered with boxes of takeaway pizzas, and on the table on one side there were a few uneaten pizzas, the cheese was cold and slimy.

The guide light in the space is not bright, emitting a somewhat dim white light, and the inside of the lampshade of the guide light is black, it seems to be dusty, or there may be small flying insects and the like flying in.

A blonde boy sat cross-legged in a chair with great interest, in front of him was a huge guiding terminal, the screen was emitting a faint blue light, and the white letters were densely composed of all kinds of information for people to read.

"Hmph, Crossbell, that's amazing! Guiding Network, it's amazing! It's a pleasure to be able to get any kind of information. ”

The boy was talking to himself excitedly as he grabbed a piece of cold pizza and put it in his mouth, and his expression, which was full of interest before, suddenly changed to a bitter gourd face.

"It's so unpalatable......"

The boy stuck out his tongue and swept all the cold pizzas to the ground as if he were angry, as if he was not the one who bought the pizza and then harmed the pizza to be cold.

"Hehe, I don't agree with wasting food."

At some point, a neutral voice came from the darkness, and the blonde boy was startled, and Gollum rolled out of his chair at once, screaming and retreating.

"Ghosts, ghosts!"

"It's really a biased statement, I'm just a phantom sneaking on a moonlit night."

Speaking an archaic sentence, a figure dressed in black came out of the space. It was as if he had been hiding in fluid space, and when he decided to show up, the space around him rippled like water.

Dressed in a black coat with strange cuffs and a strange cloak reminiscent of a crow, a black hood, a blue-purple scarf, and a silver mask all combine to create a mysterious face, and in his hand, a huge sword larger than his whole person, with a tree behind him, is not angry.

"You, you, who are you......"

"Silver."

The man in black unabashedly reported his name. When he heard the name, the blonde boy breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, it turned out to be Big Brother Yin, don't scare me......"

Apparently communicating with the legendary assassin known as the Majin in the East, the blonde boy seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. I have to say that it has something to do with his work.

Informants.

It's very similar to the information dealers under Yuki Tatsumi.

However, there are some differences.

Yu's intelligence dealer was commissioned by Yu, and then went to investigate. Moreover, he only obeyed the commission of Yuki Tatsumi alone. In other words, if you don't consider that every piece of information costs money, then Yu's intelligence dealer is his exclusive intelligence agent.

Tipsters, on the other hand, buy all kinds of information and then sell it to others. Neither will they work for one or the other, nor will they risk their lives for a certain job. Like the previous intelligence dealers, the intelligence agent would never consider anything like risking his life to investigate the snake that eats the body for the sake of Yuki Tatsumi's commission.

Since he is a neutral intelligence broker, he naturally has a good friendship with Black Moon. For this black moon's trump card, the informant still knows.

"Mr. Jonah Secreed. I have heard your skills for a long time, I don't know, can I listen to my commission in detail? ”

The black demon man obviously just spoke politely, but it made the young intelligence dealer Jonah feel a nameless sense of oppression, and it is often said that he will instinctively feel awe in the face of the big man, and the breath on the silver body is also a kind of coercion of the big man.

"Ahaha, I don't know what work Brother Yin wants to entrust? I'm still a little confident in my intelligence. ”

It wasn't clear why Silver had deigned to his hideout, but Jonah tried to act as harmless as he could. If it's a guide communication or a guide email, it's another matter, such a face-to-face chat, no matter how polite Silver is, it's still a legendary figure who deters the party!

"Easy commission. All you need to do is send a request email - to Cross Bell's Star of Hope, Special Assignment Support Section. ”

Silver explained the process in detail, and Jonah swallowed and nodded. The job is not difficult. He cares more about the pay than that.

"The remuneration is equal to the labor of the work, and these are the deposits. If I can effectively complete my entrustment, the remuneration will be negotiated. ”

Silver said, pulling out a stack of mira from her clothes and placing it on the table. Then it disappeared like smoke.

Jonah, a young intelligence agent, got up at this point, and his legs were shaking because he was scared. There is no doubt about the identity of the person who came, it is the trump card of the Black Moon, Silver. Even if Jonah had never studied martial arts and did not have special perception ability, he could clearly perceive the coercion on Silver's body.

There is no need for an informant to play with his life, and offending a client is not what a mature tipster should do - especially since this commission is not too difficult for him.

Roughly counted, it seems to be about 15,000 kilometers pulled. For the task of "sending emails", it is already considered a very generous reward, and there seems to be an additional reward for completing the task? It's a good job, don't look at the small amount of money you make - compared to the intelligence of the performance report of the new armored vehicle, this commission really doesn't make much money - but it is for nothing.

And...... If I don't do it, Silver will really do it, right?

Jonah shuddered again as he remembered the cold smile on the corner of Silver's mouth.

――――――――――――

On the other side, the residential area of Crossbell.

The door to the entrance to the underground passage opened belatedly, and the black figure flashed out quickly, and then locked the door.

The key was stolen. For Silver, this kind of thing couldn't be easier.

After confirming that there was no one around, Silver ripped off his hood, revealing his light purple hair, and then removed the silver mask, exposing a delicate, beautiful female face to the moonlight.

If anyone sees it, then he won't miss it.

After all, this person ...... It's a comet-like newcomer to the Rainbow Theatre, Lixia Mao!

Although the preview has not yet begun, various reports have already begun to announce that the Rainbow Theatre will be using new and special performers this time. Lixia has also become the object of attention of the fanatical fans of the Rainbow Theater Company. This is still before the rehearsal, and if you see Lixia's dancing skills, your popularity will at least triple.

The "rookie killer" who has always been regarded as a junior by Yu Tatsumi, his real identity is actually the person he respects the most, "Silver...... I have to say, this joke is a bit big.

In fact, Lixia had the intention of telling him her identity before, but during that night talk, Lixia had just mustered up her courage when she was interrupted by You.

Completely different from "Silver", "Lixia" is just an ordinary girl who is easily shy...... Once the courage that was once mustered up is frightened, it is not so easy to gather.

Moreover, Lixia only inherited the silver recently, and she had not seen You when she was a child, and the silver at that time was still Lixia's father. Lixia was also afraid that the difference between the silver in You's heart and the real silver would be too big, causing him to get angry.

The essence of the problem is still Lixia's timidity.

It's just that today, seeing You lying on the platform with all her body weak, Lixia finally made up her mind, at least this matter can't go on like this.

Though...... Paying the payment made Lixia a little painful......

When Black Moon was still active, Lixia could still say that it was necessary to receive money from Black Moon, but during the period of Black Moon's overall contraction, even Silver was embarrassed to ask Black Moon for payment. These Mira were all exchanged for the crystal flare dropped by killing the demonic beast when Lixia was training herself outside the city. I wanted to save it......

Because he didn't want to be ruined by someone to ruin the performance of the Rainbow Theater, because he didn't want the name of "Silver" to be humiliated, and because of his selfishness, he caused Yuki Tatsumi, who had nothing to do with him, to fall into a dangerous death situation. His abilities are limited, but he is much more experienced than Lixia, and even he has no power to resist the opponent, and Lixia realizes that the name "Demon Capital" is far more suitable for Crossbell than she imagined.

"Swimming...... I'm not going to leave you alone. ”

Lixia's voice was full of determination.

"Once in a while, let's borrow the power of your teammates. If you can't, I'll help you this time. ”
