Chapter 6: The Secret Gaze
Emid. 009 Ailu.
The massive domed clock tower stands in the middle of the road, and passers-by are attracted by the building's appearance, but that was a long time ago.
However, with some recent rumors, more people are starting to pay attention here.
The sight of light and darkness made the members of the 'Guardians' feel impatient.
"These guys are really annoying!"
"They deserve a lesson!"
Ariquino, who was dressed in a robe, said in a low voice.
Several of the surrounding Guardian members nodded slightly, acquiescing to their companion's words.
After all, no one wants to be a shimmering monkey.
"I'll teach them a lesson!"
With the approval of his companion, Aricchino couldn't help but say, and walked out.
"Leader, let's assemble ......"
"Don't worry!"
"It's just some inconsequential roles, and it doesn't take much time."
Alikino waved his hand unconcernedly.
The member of the Guardian who spoke to dissuade thought for a moment and didn't say anything more.
You know, they're Guardians!
'Guardian' in the name of that adult!
Ordinary players?
It's really not in their eyes.
Feeling that the other people behind him did not change their breath in the same way, Arikino breathed a sigh of relief, and he began to speed up his pace.
Gotta get out of here!
Otherwise, it's too late!
As soon as Arikino thought of the man's words, his whole body became impatient.
Almost subconsciously, he thought of what his collaborator said not to provoke the other party.
But right away, Arikino shook his head.
He won't admit his defeat.
Because, in his opinion, he did not fail in the first place.
At best, it's just bad luck.
That's right, it's bad luck!
Wait!
Sooner or later, I'll make you regret it!
Thinking of the insult he had received before, the pain of being bitten all over his body seemed to reappear, and his breathing became rapid, but immediately, his breath was stagnant.
In the direction of the gate, a man wearing a black hood cloak with silver stripes painted on the corners and carrying a long sword was standing.
"Your Excellency, the Inspector."
After identifying the opponent's weapon and making sure that it was not the most difficult one, Arikino immediately saluted.
"What are you going to do, Arikino?"
The other party asked.
"I'm going to teach the peepers outside the door a lesson."
"They're just so annoying."
Arikino replied truthfully.
He didn't find any other reason, because he knew very well that since the other party appeared here, then his previous words would definitely be heard by the other party.
At this time, looking for other reasons is really no different from looking for death.
"Oh."
"Then you go and come back quickly."
"The chief is already gathering everyone."
The other party waved his hand absently.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
As soon as he bowed, he walked briskly out, as if he was really about to go back quickly, but when he passed through the gate of the Dome Clock Tower, he strode in one direction.
There are a few people who are working on the clock tower against the dome.
Without hesitation, Arikino rushed forward.
When they saw Arikino appear, they scattered and fled.
Arikino picked the fastest of them all and chased after him.
Runners are fast.
Almost to the point of advancement, this scene lit up the eyes of the Guardian members in the tower, but then they shook their heads.
Since someone has made a move, then this windfall is naturally impossible to snatch.
Guardians also have their own rules.
All they could do was watch as Arikino chased after the man, quickly disappearing into the street.
After confirming that all his sight was gone, Arikino did not stop, he followed the man in front of him, and crossed another street, only to stop at the same time.
"I need help."
As soon as he stopped, Arikino said directly.
"So, here I am."
"What's going on, tell me."
The other party said coldly.
Arikino immediately began to narrate, of course, it was a beautified and disguised narration, which highlighted Qin Ran's good luck and his bad luck the most.
It's not deliberate, it's what he thinks.
So, it seems very real.
But......
Syllable!
As soon as Arikino's words fell, the other party slapped Arikino in the face.
There was no reaction, and Arikino was fanned to the ground.
"I told you."
"Don't mess with 2567!"
"He's not something you can mess with!"
The other party's tone became more and more cold, and under the sound like a polar cold wind, it was impossible to hear whether it was anger or murderous intent, but it made Arikino's defense weigh in his throat.
He scrambled to his feet, his head bowed.
He needed to hide his resentful gaze.
He could not be exposed.
At least, not now.
He also needs the other side.
"Go to that place, I marked it in a private message, and you can get the best protection there."
"Now, leave."
The other party said.
Then, the cold-voiced man looked behind Arikino.
"Haven't you seen enough?"
"Of course not."
"I've been guessing who the person behind him is, but I didn't think it would be you, Iktor."
The Guardian Patrol of the Saber spun around the corner and said with a smile.
"I thought it would attract other guys, but I didn't expect it to be you, Lee."
The man's voice, known as Eckert, remained cold at all.
"Everyone else has more important things to do."
"I'm naturally the most suitable one."
The Inspector approached as he spoke, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
The sword was not unsheathed, and the sharp breath was already rushing to the face.
Sou!
The split air turned into a sword qi and shot straight at Eckert, but before it could get close, it was blown away and frozen by a cold wind.
But the next moment, the two breaths collided again.
Bang!
In the dull sound, Arikino seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure and retreated again and again, but under the cover of the system, the smile on his face could not be hidden.
Let's fight! Let's fight!
Only when you fight will I be able to get the most benefits!
With a dark thought in his heart, Arikino quickly sent a private message to his other collaborator, then turned around and ran.
However, Arikino did not go to the address given by Eckert.
After going around in a circle, he quietly returned.
He hid in the shadows, watching the battle in the field, waiting for another collaborator to send out his man, waiting for his impending harvest.
2567!
Wait!
I'm going to be even more powerful in front of you!
To make you understand what a mistake it is to be my enemy!
Arikino clenched his fists.
And in the shadows not far behind Yalikino, Qin Ran just looked at him silently.
The gaze is bland.
Seems to be looking at a dead man.
