"It's going to be us in the lower bracket."

The ice-colored sword qi exploded in the middle of the two people who were facing each other, and a large expanse of air was puffed up in the hot barren valley, and the hideous face in the center of the flashpoint also disappeared in front of the eyes of all the spectators with the flight of this aura, and separated to the sides with their shocked eyes. also looked at the other party with shocked eyes, Lou Tingyu, who was at the end of the ice blue bone sword, covered the injury on his chest and kept retreating, and finally staggered to the ground in a state of serious injury and bleeding: "You, you ......"

“…… I don't mean to disrespect you. Slowly putting away his long sword, the snow spirit phantom ice standing in the middle of the mountain stream projected a cold look from under the silver mask on his face: "I'm just...... There are some personal grievances that need to be settled. ”

"What, what do you mean?"

"This time it was our Wings of Liberty victory...... Do you have any objections to this? ”

Taking two steps forward with the clear sound of iron boots, Xue Lingphantasm Ice came to Lou Tingyu again: "Although I really want to cut off your head like this, but this will send you to the loser's group, if you are unlucky, you may be killed from hell again, and then become our opponent again......"

"I have no interest in seeing you again, but...... That dawn glory or something, it seems to be a little weaker than you. At this point, she had a dead look in her eyes: "In order to prevent that guy from deliberately losing to you and thus avoiding my challenge again, I decided to deal with him now." ”

"You, do you want to ......"

"Looks like you get it."

A cold smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, and Xue Lingphantom Ice put the long sword in front of his arrogant neck: "Now that you have understood, then ......"

"This time, I'll lend you the place for the time being."

Splashes of blood appeared in front of Lou Tingyu with the decisive movement of the long sword across his neck, and at the same time appeared with the ruthless prompt of the system announcing victory, and the exclamations of the audience from outside the arena then broke his sluggish expression, sending him to the arena outside the game map with the entire arena. The figures belonging to a large group of fans, spectators and reporters then quickly surrounded the positions where the two sides of the game had withdrawn, wrapping up the teams of Freedom Wings and Tingyulou, but the questions they raised one after another were far less questioning than Freedom Wings' own teammates: "Sister Xue, what are you doing?" ”

"Sister Xue, why did you commit suicide?"

"Although there is no possibility of burying the qualification, but if you surrender and admit defeat......"

"You're ...... Will surrender? ”

In the eyes of countless onlookers watching the play, the figures belonging to the two people of Free Flying and Yan Dong gradually drilled out of the gap in the crowd: "Don't you want the position of your head of the family?" ”

“……”

It seems that he didn't want to pay attention to the other party's intentions, and the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, which was surrounded by everyone, still maintained the appearance of an iceberg, and the smile that was originally hanging on his face after receiving the ignorance of the free flight gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a warning with an iron-like face: "Hmph, no matter what you are thinking now, I must warn you ......"

"Don't try to challenge our intelligence." He let out an irrepressible sneer: "Otherwise...... You're going to be the last fool. ”

"When the is over, hurry away."

Slightly blocking in front of the woman, the berserker named Phantom Sea Madness then separated his gaze from the free fly: "At this point, do you still want to continue to dictate the game of our Freedom Snow Team?" ”

"Ha, I'm afraid it's not my turn to say anything, you've already been eliminated, right?"

Looking back at the left and right of this arena, Freedom Flying let out a wild laugh: "Re-examine you guys who dare to commit crimes as victors...... I'm looking forward to that moment, hahahaha! ”

As the laughter gradually faded away, the figures belonging to Freedom Flying and the others gradually walked back towards the road they had come, leaving only the echoes of the demonstration that had not disappeared yet, and the excited expressions of the reporters around him who could not hide after smelling the new big news. Filtering out the countless gossips around him again, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who took the lead, then took the lead in breaking through the encirclement of the on-site reporters and onlookers, and then after a period of progress, he led the team to the outside of the arena: "Are you already gone?" Damn ......"

"Why are you ......?"

Slowly made her own voice, and Liangchen Miyu, who had not spoken since just now, finally raised her head: "Why are you ......?"

"No why, I just like it."

Without looking back, he cut off the other party's words, and Xue Ling, who was stroking his mask, replied coldly in advance: "Anyway, as long as you win all the next games, right?" Is this difficult for you guys? ”

"You know that's not what I mean." Liangchen Meiyu's voice became deeper and deeper: "Why are you ...... Why do you ......?"

"Why did you kill me?"

In the increasingly surprised eyes of several team members around him, he looked at the face of the ice-colored woman with a grim face: "You actually dare to kill me?" ”

“……”

The footsteps ahead paused slightly, and the cold voice of the snow spirit walking in front became much softened: "Reason...... As I said before, if something else happens, I won't have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity again. ”

"I know you'll have other whispers, but there were accidents in this competition...... You're all seeing it. Her eyes gradually moved from Liangchen Miyu's gaze staring at her, and flickered on the others: "Complete the challenge I made to that man, and then defeat all the remaining enemies......"

"Wouldn't this ending be a more perfect ending?"

In the silent atmosphere where no one responded, she stood quietly for a while, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the teleportation array outside the arena when Liangchen Miyu no longer questioned herself. The helpless sigh from the Phantom Sea Crazy Star and Fengqiao before listening to the rain before leaving, then also echoed on the side of the road covered by the sea breeze, followed by Nan Xiaowu's uneasy eyes looking at Liangchen Meiyu, who just waved his hand in the direction where the thief was, and then smashed his fist on the ground after the other party left: "She dared to ......"

How dare she make a move on me?

Right...... As the master, I take a shot?

Just for such a strange reason?

Hasn't she yet reached the level of control that those people mentioned?

The body involuntarily let out a slight tremble, and the face covered by Liangchen Meiyu, who was standing alone in place, became more and more distorted, and the heavy wheezing sound slowly echoed around this area with the appearance of a tearing expression: "It seems that I need to increase the dose a little, hum hehehe......"

"What is a person delusional here?"

An even deeper voice interrupted his thoughts, accompanied by a approaching figure of a player with a black cloak covering his body: "Are you still sad about what happened before, little friend?" ”

“…… Don't meddle in my business. Still covering his face with his right hand, Liangchen Meiyu turned sideways and looked back at the position where the other party appeared: "I'm not in a good mood right now." ”

"I'm not interested in your business either." The black-robed player replied in a low voice, "It's just ...... You probably don't have time to mind your own business right now. ”

"The new order has arrived, you'd better take it offline and check it out now."

He left one last word, and then left the place as silently as he came, leaving only the sluggish movements of Yoshitsumi Miyu standing in place, and her face becoming cloudy again. Hesitant footsteps then followed the guidance of the road to the teleportation array leaving the game uniform, and in a thrilled mood, he finally clicked the button to go offline, and then teleported himself back to the professional player hall of Tianxiang Company with a sense of rage: "...... Hello, sir. ”

“…… Yes, we're in the lower bracket for now, but that's okay, it won't affect your plans...... Well? ”

"Plan...... Ahead of schedule? Why? ”

"But, but we haven't—wait a minute! That woman is still under my control! I can guarantee ...... Hey, hey? ”

“…… Damn it. ”

The light screen in front of him was slapped into fragments, Liangchen Meiyu jumped out of his game cabin angrily, and only after a while did he gradually put away his angry look in the surprised gaze of several staff members around him: "Since that's the case......"

"Then I'll have to prepare for the second hand first."

Forcing himself to calm down, he stood there and pondered for a while, and finally after glancing at the game pod in a corner on the other side of the hall, he slowly walked towards the door: "...... Hey, honey, where are you? I have a few little things I'd like to discuss with you. ”

"Can you help me find a folder?"

His footsteps lingered for a moment in front of the game pod in that corner, and his gaze finally became decisive, and then he walked towards the Tianxiang company building outside the door while holding his communication ball.

****************************

“…… Are you awake? ”

After a period of time, in the underground prison of Zalaha City in the free world, the voice of inquiry then appeared in front of Duan Qing, who had just woken up, and gradually awakened his consciousness that was still hazy after going online: "No matter how you screamed just now, I couldn't wake you up, I even thought you were dead." ”

“…… Ah, right. ”

As if remembering his situation in the free world, Duan Qing's scarred face gradually showed a helpless wry smile: "Yes...... General Bernard? Now it's up to you to interrogate me personally? ”

"Now standing in front of you is not an Imperial general, but an ordinary Imperial person."

With his hands still behind his back, Bernard in his neat uniform gestured to the empty prison around him; "It's not an interrogation, it's a ...... Ordinary Q&A, adventurers. ”

"Ordinary Q&A?" What answered him was Duan Qing's puzzled expression: "You? I? In this kind of place? In this case? ”

When.

A loud metal crash then appeared behind Duan Qing, smashing the chain he had originally tied to the pillar, and Bernard, who looked calm, then put away one of his hands that he suddenly raised from behind his back, and looked down at Duan Qing who fell to the ground because he loosened the binding: "Okay, can we talk openly and honestly now?" ”

"Letting me go so easily...... Aren't you afraid that I will run away? ”

"From the moment you started going against our empire, I admired your guts, so...... You can try it now. ”

“…… All right. ”

Bernard, whose eyes vaguely revealed a majestic momentum, looked around, and Duan Qing finally sat on the bloodstained prison floor: "Please first, General." ”

“…… I know you know some of the city's secrets. ”

Bending down slightly, Bernard's downward gaze slowly fell on the top of Duan Qing's head, who was rubbing his wrists: "I also understand your current situation...... In order to escape some unknown danger, you have to throw yourself into the trap of the empire in that situation, right? ”

“…… That's right. Duan Qing replied casually, "Now...... How long has it been? ”

"It's been two days." Bernard said in a deep voice, "You have another day. ”

"After a day, all the problems will be solved...... so Duan Qing raised his head: "You plan to do this, right?" ”

"It is impossible for the Empire not to discover the shadows lurking in this city, after all, we are the ones who have even expelled the Shadow Society."

Standing up straight, Bernard turned to look at the entrance to the prison, "Can you still create this threat in this situation...... Aside from the fact that they are stronger than the Empire, there is only one explanation for the rest. ”

"We have their men in our ranks." He took two steps forward, then turned around and looked at Duan Qing's face: "Isn't it?" ”

"Or maybe it's your own delusion." Duan Qing replied nonchalantly, "Of course it's possible...... Both. ”

"I still have a little understanding of the identity and strength of you, the child of destiny." Bernard said with a blank face: "Look at what you are doing now...... The latter should be more likely, right? ”

“…… What, scared? So Duan Qing grinned and showed a hint of a smile: "General Bernard, the dignified commander of the Imperial Goshawk Army, actually began to worry about himself?" ”

"Of course I don't fear for my own safety, but I fear that the interests of the empire will be harmed." Bernard shook his head and said, "On the verge of triggering...... There is also a great possibility that the Imperial side will suffer in the end, adventurers. ”

"So...... You're going to condemn me for such reasons? ”

"We're not talking about devouring or killing now."

In the dim cell of the setting sun, the voices of two people were reflected in turn, and the smile that gradually appeared on Bernard's face: "We are talking about ...... now"

"Cooperation."
