The afterglow of the setting sun finally dissipated completely, and Wellington Hospital, which had been bustling with people, finally fell silent.

In the hallway of the third floor, the sentinels struggled to keep their eyelids from falling asleep, but after a day's guard, their mental tension had reached its extreme, and the tiredness that could not be dissipated lingered in their brains.

In front of the lobby of the hospital, a taxi stopped quickly, and a man in a black robe stepped out of the car and took out a stack of bills from his pocket with a gloved hand: "These are all yours, don't tell anyone else to see them." ”

The driver was busy and grateful, and happily took the banknote from the man's hand. The man turned away, a subtle smile on his lips, and the driver, who had just taken the bill, choked his throat in pain, and blood poured out of his mouth.

"I still don't quite believe you. The man paused before walking up the stairs down the hall, "So I'll have to keep you and the truth buried in the darkness forever." ”

The driver rolled in pain and tried to open the door, only to find that his fingers had completely lost strength. His eyes were wide open, blood was running down the corners of his eyes, and after the last round of struggle, he finally died quietly.

"Sure enough, this poison is really toxic. The man turned his head to look at the corpse, "Although I have no grievances with you, I also have a last resort, please ask your soul to rest in heaven." ”

The man pushed the door in, startling the nurses who were already lying on their stomachs at the front desk and were about to fall asleep. "Sir, only the emergency room is still working right now. The nurse grumbled but smiled politely, "If you have other diseases, you may have to wait until tomorrow morning." ”

"I'm not here to see a doctor. The man leaned on the table with one hand and said, "I'm here to find someone." ”

"Looking for someone?" replied the nurse, "who are you looking for?"

"Find a critically ill patient. The man gestured nonchalantly to his fingers, "It's called Shore Robert, and I'm looking for him in a hurry." ”

"Shore Robert, please wait a moment for me to inquire. The nurse looked down at the computer screen as she spoke, and after a moment she frowned slightly, "I'm sorry, sir." The person you are looking for is not in our hospital and there is no indication of him on the profile. ”

"I think that's how it should be. The man seemed to be talking to himself, "Then I'll have to go find it myself, and I'll trouble you." ”

"Please wait a minute, sir. The nurse stretched out her hand to stop him, "You can't go to someone without permission, and you should at least show your information before you can decide whether or not to allow a visit." ”

"It's annoying!" the man looked unhappy, but still grunted and reached for his waist. "Then I'll sign up, after all, you have to be in order. He said so.

Although the nurse had infinite disgust for this man in her heart, she tried to keep her smile down. The man jerked something out from behind, and then just a slight stroke in front of her, and in an instant she felt a chill on her neck, and when he reached out to touch her neck, he found that his hands were covered with sticky blood.

"Everything was in order. The man watched as the nurse in front of him slowly went limp, "Everything is in accordance with the rules of the dark." ”

In his hand was a blood-stained dagger that looked unremarkable, but the silver-white sheen on the blade proved to be a dangerous and deadly tool of killing.

"I don't want to kill anyone. The man looked at the corpse, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes. "It's unpleasant that I have to be involved in the lives of innocent people. ”

As he spoke, the man pulled out another short sword from behind his waist that was identical to his hand, and the hilt of the sword spun around in his hand a few times before he readjusted himself to a parry. "It's been a long time since I've moved my muscles. He twisted his neck, his bones grinding against each other and making a gurgling sound. "Let me get some exercise today. ”

The man walked up the stairs, and the hard military boots made a "click" sound on the stairs, but it was already late at night, and everyone in the hospital had fallen asleep, and this small noise was simply not enough to attract attention.

But Rex Field was the only one who hadn't fallen asleep, and from the moment the man entered the hall, he felt an unimaginable sense of oppression that almost made him unable to breathe.

"What the hell is going on?" Rex wandered down the hallway, "Is there something coming, what is this unimaginably massive force?"

He felt as if his chest was being pressed by a boulder, and he could only rush to the bathroom to relieve his mental tension with cold water.

Drops of water flowed down his face, but the cold temperature of the water did not ease his symptoms, and he could feel a powerful force mixed with serious killing intent approaching him.

"Click, click. The sound of the man's boots finally sounded at the top of the staircase, but the sentry, who was already sleepy, still managed to hold up his spirit to stop him. "You can't go in here. The young man who had stopped Raven during the day yawned and said, "If you want to enter, you must have a special order." ”

"What more orders?" the sentry asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes and not seeing the man's double-wielding dagger in his hand.

"That's it. The Sentinel, too, was impatient, and he stepped forward to inquire further, but felt a sudden tingling sensation in his chest.

The sentry looked down to see a dagger in his chest, and he opened his mouth wide to say something, but he fell on his back like a felled tree.

The sound of him falling woke up the other sentries who were napping, and when they saw their comrades fall, they subconsciously raised their weapons, but it was too late.

The man's light steps are like a waltz, and they are as graceful and deadly as Mozart's Requiem. The short sword swung lightly, like a cold wind blowing, and in an instant all the enemies fell to the ground.

"Kung Fu can't get home. The man glanced back at the corpses all over the ground, "The guards are so relaxed, it's like dereliction of duty, don't blame me for not showing mercy." ”

"I see. Rex stepped out of the bathroom at the end of the hallway, his eyes fixed on the man. "This unimaginably huge force is something that only a man like you can have. ”

"Do you still have a memory of Mephistopheles?" the man wasn't too surprised to be recognized, "It seems that Mephistopheles is also obsessed with me, otherwise how would I have always had a memory of me." ”

Of course he can't forget it. Rex wiped the water from his face, "The only man who can fight to a tie with him, and he is still a human being, how could he forget such a strong enemy?"

"Then you should also know how strong my strength is, if he has full power, he can only tie with me, so what can a guy like you do?"

"Don't underestimate me. Rex laughed and said, "I'm not like him, but when it comes to it, I'm interested in why you're the way you are." ”

"My past doesn't matter, what matters is the present and the future, even if my identity changes, it won't affect the battle between me and you. ”

"What should I call you, your former name, or your current number one?"

"It doesn't matter what it's called, if you want to call me number one, after all, it's more convenient for you to call it. ”

"But I don't think it's convenient here. Rex looked around, "The space is too small for me to fight with someone like you, I have a good place, do you think it's okay?"

The man nodded slightly: "It's really not suitable for us to exert our strength, where is the place you are talking about?"

"Just follow me. Rex turned and walked up the stairs, the man following him in silence.

They walked through corridor after corridor, ascending staircase after staircase, neither of them saying a word to each other in the process. Finally, Rex stopped in front of a door, reached out and unscrewed the doorknob, and a cool breeze blew in from behind the door.

"It's the rooftop. Rex walked out the door briskly and took a deep breath of cold air, "This place is wide enough for me to fight alone with you." ”

"It's a great place indeed. The man said. Located on the rooftop of the 30th floor of Wellington College Hospital, you can see the high-rise buildings with colorful lights, and if you look down from the stone platform, you can only see all the colorful streets of London.

"Shall we start then?" Rex raised his right hand, and the dark purple word was shining on his arm and quickly spreading throughout his body. "It's a fun game to play against a man like you!"

"Treating combat as child's play can cost you your life. The dagger spun at high speed in the man's hand, "Let me see what you're capable of." ”

"As you wish. As soon as Rex finished speaking, he disappeared from where he was standing, and by the time the man came back to his senses, Rex had already appeared in front of him.

"Die!" Rex slammed a punch into the man's face, but just as the fist was about to touch the man, the man disappeared from under his nose.

"How so?" Rex missed, but quickly adjusted his stance and got on the defensive. He could feel sweat oozing from his forehead: "This guy is far faster than me." ”

"Do you understand now?" the man's voice sounded from behind him, and Rex subconsciously turned his head, but the man's foot had already hit him in the abdomen solidly, kicking him directly out of the distance of nearly ten meters.

A mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth, but Rex got up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "It's not just the speed, it's the strength that is above me." "The man just had just an ordinary blow, but it had already caused the rupture of his internal organs in an instant.

"It doesn't seem like it's a good thing to underestimate you too much. Rex gasped, "And what about this move?" His body quickly turned into a fog, and then the black mist rolled towards the man.

"Mephistopheles' fogging. The man saw the mystery of this trick at a glance, "It seems that this black mist is as corrosive as Mephistopheles's." ”

"If you know, why don't you run away?" The black mist that rolled and struck devoured everything like a beast with its mouth wide open, but the man stood still and did not move.

"If I lose just because of this move. The man stepped away and ran towards the black mist, "Then how do you think Mephistopheles was cornered by me?"

The man jumped up, the short swords in both hands shining with golden brilliance, "Holy Word, Annihilation Photon!" The man's body turned into a dazzling light that pierced through the black mist, and then the scattered light gathered into the man's body again.

"Ahhh "Impossible, you can actually hurt me in the fog, what are you?"

"It seems that Mephistopheles didn't inherit the memories of the battle at that time. The man turned and replied, "I'm the one who can cut everything, how can a little mist stop me!?"
