X smiled, and she stepped forward and opened her arms to give IV a hug.

"You're still living up to expectations......"

X's lips were immediately stopped by a stabbing pain in his abdomen, and his chest cavity seemed to be deflated, exhaling all the remaining gas-

X notices that his abdomen is pierced by golden light.

"Repent."

IV said indifferently, and X saw a hint of an end in IV's cold blue pupils at the same time.

At this point,

Around the corner, a red alert swept to a third person behind IV, the Doctor from the Institute.

X didn't understand why, she felt a chill in her body, and finally lost her gravity, stumbled backwards uncontrollably, and barely stood up with her hands on the wall after a struggle.

"You ......"

IV waved his golden sword and said sharply:

"I'm not being threatened! This is my original intention, don't be obsessed, your recklessness will make everyone die here. ”

X was a little incredulous, he looked at the doctor behind IV and sneered:

"He's lying to ......"

"He didn't dare!"

X looked at everything around him in a trance, opened his mouth but didn't make any sound.

The wound in the abdomen did not heal due to the subject's special constitution, the pain spread throughout his body like a flame, and the high concentration of radiation created by the will to die on the wound section was eroding him at a somatosensory speed, and X felt his vision become more blurred and his heartbeat became more and more slow......

X opened his mouth again and asked with all his might:

"What about III?"

She was greeted only by an indifferent response:

"Dead, killed by the mechanical troops, I saw her with my own eyes, you stop now, the doctor will give you a new body."

X and IV look at each other, and she is amazed that IV can kill her former partner.

X held back his scream:

"How do you ...... How can you be like this, she trusts you so much! ”

Ignoring the pain, X ran over like crazy.

IV mercilessly wields the will to die, severing X's legs.

"Give up, those stories that don't feed you will hurt you."

X ignored the sarcasm, and just crawled forward with his hands, deliberately bypassing IV's legs,

Behind IV,

Crawl towards the Doctor.

Not far away,

The sound of hurried footsteps around the corner became clearer and clearer.

THE DOCTOR LOOKED AT X IN HORROR, AND EVEN THOUGH X WAS QUITE FAR AWAY FROM HIM, HE CONTINUED TO SHRINK HIS LEGS BACK, EVENTUALLY HIDING IN THE DREEMURR EMERGENCY MECHANIZED UNIT.

X sighed and looked back at IV, her back to her, as if she didn't want to see her own death.

"Two riot test subjects have been found, and they are about to be cleared!"

X's eyes were stunned, and he turned himself over with all his might, and pounced on IV, who turned around at the same time, his eyes were stunned, and the blade of the sword in his hand was still facing him.

X felt her stomach being penetrated again, and she leaned into IV's ear and whispered:

"Accept my hug, this is the last time."

Before the Doctor could stop, the mechanized troops' bullets were all poured down on X......

X's tenacious vitality does not allow her to die in this scene, as if there is a kind of unwillingness, even with a hoarse throat, X smiles and tries to speak:

"You...... Finally, willing to accept ......"

In the end, willpower lost to the laws of nature.

IV stood with the golden sword, looking at X who was dying in his arms, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

In the mechanized troops, the doctor's voice trembled and asked:

“I…… IV？ ”

IV didn't respond, she closed her eyes, her body fell to the ground limp, and X's body pressed against herself.

"It's so quiet." IV couldn't help but sigh inwardly......

When Zosha'er woke up again, she was lying on the hospital bed again, holding Elsa's hand in her sweaty palm.

Elsa was asleep on her arm pillow, her tired eyelids were enough to tell how many nights she had kept watch for herself.

Zoshar looked around the room and saw Cyberas standing beside her, her eyes telling that she was talking in her sleep while unconscious.

Zoshar gently pulled her hand out of Elsa's hand and stumbled out of bed, beckoning Cerberas to the hospital hallway.

Zoshar stood by the window, and when she saw Cerberas walking after her, she smiled bitterly:

"Only I am the unpardonable sin in the end."

Cerberas reached out and patted Zoshar on the shoulder:

"It's been almost 50 years, don't get along with yourself."

Zosha'er wiped her face: "If we don't stop X, maybe you and II will be the only ones who will survive?" Even if you are hunted down by the guild, there is a chance to live. ”

Seberas was silent, and as if he had expected it, he took a few pieces of candy out of his pocket, turned his back, hid them in his hand, and stretched them out to Zosal:

"Here, pick one, and guess which hand has the candy."

Zoshar smiled helplessly, and although she felt very new in her heart, she still pushed away Seberas's hand:

"We're already past the age of eating sugar."

"Pick one."

Cerberas stubbornly placed his hand in front of Zoshar again.

Zoshar then got serious as well, re-enacting what Cerberas had just done, and pointing to her left hand.

Cerberas let go of his left hand—

A piece of fruit candy.

Zoshale smiled lightly, peeled off the candy wrapper and put the fruit candy in her mouth.

"How does it feel?"

"The breath of victory." Zoshar looked out the window and replied.

"But did you really win?"

Zoshar turned around, and Cerberas released her right hand at the same time, and in the palm of her hand were two fruit candies.

Cerberas laughed:

"And now?"

Zoshaer was silent for a long time, as if she understood something.

Cerberas put away the sugar:

"I learned it from anime, I hope it can answer some of your doubts."

suddenly

There was a shout in the room, and Elsa rushed out of the room in a panic.

"The eldest lady is fine." Seberas replied for Zozor.

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the wind and snow outside the window and couldn't help but sigh: "It's another blizzard." ”

This sentence seems to inspire Zoshar to something.

Zosha'er hurriedly walked up to Elsa's side in a panic:

"Quick! Prepare the car! ”

Elsa didn't care to ask anything, and hurriedly went back to the house and took out a key to the snowmobile from a drawer.

……

An hour later,

Inside a Chongqing hot pot restaurant on Financial Street in Rantimo's Old Town.

Elsa sat down in her seat and took off her winter suit, she looked around: "I thought it was something important......

Zosha'er held the chopsticks with a serious face, and shook the membership card and coupon in front of Elsa with her fingers between her fingers:

"It's overdue tomorrow! With this coupon, we can also order another plate of duck blood. ”

Elsa stared at the bubbling fiery red soup in front of her and fell into deep thought:

"If I eat this, I'm afraid my stomach won't burn through directly."

"Huh? It turns out that you don't eat spicy food. ”

Zosha'er seemed to see something in her worried expression, and beckoned the waiter to come over and change them into a "mandarin duck pot".

Zoshar sucked the oil and water on the chopsticks:

"The specialty of this house is spicy, it would be a pity if you avoided it."

Suddenly, Zosha'er seemed to remember something again, which couldn't help but make Elsa subconsciously touch her car keys.

"Rydal recently gave us a mission, and I haven't really paid much attention to it."

Zoshar said as she took her phone out of her pocket and rummaged through it on the table.

"Rydal? But he didn't mean you ......."

"Well, Rydal is not me, and I know very well what my own state is."

Zoshar showed her phone to Elsa, which showed a man in his thirties with short black hair and blue eyes.

"This man's name is Uriel, a strategic analyst at Oslandon, and the guild has recently discovered that he probably knows a little bit more."

After finishing speaking, Zoshaer stretched out her index finger and gently swiped it across her neck from left to right.

Elsa understood what Zosha'er meant, and nodded:

"What time is it?"

Zosha'er hesitated:

"Rydal told me before that it was today, at 23:00, to look for him at his house, at No. 598, Villa Town, Xincheng District."
