Chapter 45: The Strife and the Honkai Beast
The door was violently opened, and a loud noise was made as it hit the wall.
"Roar!"
As if startled by the sudden loud noise, the Honkai Beast in the depths of the dungeon let out a roar.
They roared, scratching the iron prison with their sharp nails, and the cacophony gave goosebumps to their ears.
"Again, I'm not going to just follow you. Wouldn't that be like admitting my guilt? β
In a firm tone, Karen's conviction was unshakable.
"Innocent! Immature! Unreasonable! You always have this unrealistic fantasy. β
Covering half of his face, Otto leaned against the cell door. The exposed left eye shimmered with a faint green light
"Listen, no one will defend you. All the evidence was fabricated, whether it was a lawyer or a judge, everyone had colluded in advance. β
Looking at Kalian, who gradually lowered her head and fell into deep thought, Otto's tone became softer.
"So, come with me, Karin. Huh? β
Smiling, Otto reached out to help Karen up.
"Even so, I won't run away, if that's my fate......"
The twinkle in her eyes was stubborn, and Karen still didn't change her beliefs.
The organs of his face were huddled together in anger, and Otto couldn't help but raise the decibels.
"Do you fantasize that your death can change your destiny? Do you think the world wouldn't turn without you? Wake up, Karen, and give up your naΓ―ve thoughts. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Enough, I'm not going to convince you anymore."
Rising from the leaning door, Otto drew the knife he held in his hand at all times.
"Do you want to use force? You should know the gap with me. β
"That kind of thing, how do you know if you don't try it?"
Grabbing the hilt of the knife with both hands, Otto stabbed Karen in the chest.
"Get out of the way, Miss Karin."
The shivering guard who had been hiding in the corner shouted, and although he tried to stand in front of Karen to block the knife, his legs trembled unobediently.
Karen's gaze was calm and terrifying at the moment, she didn't make any moves, just stood quietly.
"Why don't you hide! Why don't you hide! β
The blade stopped less than a centimeter in front of Kalian, and Otto said in a hoarse voice.
"Why hide without the slightest murderous intent."
As if to tell the truth, Karen's tone was extremely calm.
"I've had enough, I'll go to rob the Dharma Farm tomorrow. When the time comes, I won't care what you think. β
Slowly tucking the sword into the sheath, Otto seemed to have compromised.
Turning, Otto staggered back......
"Hehehehehehe."
With a slight laugh, Otto hung his head.
"Why do I always think about you......"
There seemed to be droplets of water falling to the ground, and Otto's back looked depressed.
"I'm always so gentle, I'm sorry."
Sitting on the ground, Karene buried her head deep in her knees.
"Well, I'll leave first."
The guard, who had been acting as a background wall, spoke awkwardly, but he didn't get a reply from Kalian.
The cell door was closed again, and the guards left in a huff.
As he turned around, a flame called "jealousy" flashed in his eyes.
(Ah, I always feel like I can't grasp the key point.) The psychology of the characters is so difficult to describe. οΌ

The noisy conversation around woke Karen up, and Kalian, who had maintained her original posture consistently, raised her head in a daze.
The slightly numb feet quickly brought her to her senses.
The door opened again, and the guards in the bird-pecking mask dragged her up from the ground.
"Don't be sluggish, hurry up!"
Her thighs were still numb, and Karen stumbled and almost fell.
The soldier behind him seemed to be very dissatisfied, and he kept pushing Karen in front of him.
Walking down the stairs out of the dark dungeon, the glare of the sunlight made people squint.
Accustomed to the stinging of her eyes, she staggered to the gallows.
Squatting on the roof of a nearby building, Otto was doing his final gear checks.
Forced to kneel, Karen lowered her head without the slightest expression.
Driven by curiosity, there are many people gathered around.
I opened my eyes again, and my eyes shone with a faint blue light.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The barrage of thuds was particularly piercing in the silence, and several of the soldiers around Karen fell straight to the ground.
Leaning over again, Otto was going to observe the situation first.
Raising his finger to the far corner of the alley, the cloaked man alone standing motioned for Karen to flee.
"Are you, Grandpa Arthur?"
In a slightly excited tone, Karen revealed the identity of the person who came.
Just as Karen hesitated, the roar of the beast not far away surprised everyone.
"It's a monster, run!"
The villagers shouted, and they let out a piercing scream.
Some of the slower ones were ruthlessly shredded by Honkaimon, and the blood sprayed made Honkaimon even more excited.
"What's going on?"
With Arthur's help freeing herself from her chains, Karen rushed to the crowd.
"Hey, what's going on with this sense of dΓ©jΓ vu?"
The uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious, and Otto desperately carried himself down from the roof.
Tumbling forward to unload the force of the fall, Otto turned against the crowd to find Kalian.
"Roar!"
There was a howling strong wind blowing in front of him, and the neatly tied golden hair was ruthlessly blown up.
The crowd in front of him was mercilessly slapped into the air, crashing into the building at a rapid speed.
"Help, help me"
There were quite a few ordinary people who were caught, and they opened their voices to call for help from the low-handed Otto.
"Save me, I'm willing to give you anything......"
With all their worth, they turned to Otto for help.
Opening its foul-smelling mouth, the lizard-looking Honkaimon threw the snack in its mouth.
In the last moments, Otto saw the eyes of the people that were intertwined with fear and hatred.
"I really saw a good thing, but goodbye!"
Despite his strong heart, Otto's face couldn't help but turn a little pale.
Raising the ghost horn in his hand, Otto aimed at the Honkai Beast that pounced on him.
With a burst of purple electricity, the Honkaimon's head was blasted into ashes.
There was a trace of charred black on the bloody neck, and the faint smell of flesh wafted through the air.
"Get out of the way!"
Cleaning up the Honkai beasts that were constantly lunging towards him, Otto searched the crowd for Karen.
This kind of Honkai beast, which has been imprisoned in the dungeon for months or even years, is already weak, and often only needs to pull the trigger to take away a large area of life.
But Karen is completely different, and without a weapon, she can only deal with Honkai with her bare hands. Even an S-class Valkyrie is very dangerous in this environment.
"Don't let me know who you are!"
Hoarse voice, Otto's words were filled with hatred.
