Lorraine was taken aback.

Mars's eyes widened visibly, too.

The impact of this sentence was even greater than any sentence that the Duke had said before.

Even Lorraine looked at the Duke in disbelief, and she, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly became a participant in the center of the whirlpool.

She blinked, unable to react for a moment.

“…… What do you say? I'm your half-sister?! ”

As if remembering some unpleasant past, the duke's expression became a little more indifferent.

She looked at Lorraine: "Yes, more than ten years ago, I, my father, and my mother were a happy family of three, and I also had a happy childhood, but later, a woman appeared, this despicable junior intervened in my parents' marriage, took away my father's love for my mother, and she shamefully conceived a child and used the child to force the palace." My mother was very sad and disappointed when she found out, so she divorced my father and took me to remarry another man. And at that time, the child in the belly of the junior was you, Lorraine. ”

(This...... ）

Lorraine took a step back, pupils shook.

She didn't know anything about her past, and suddenly she was told that she was born on the basis of destroying another family, and that she was the daughter of a third party.

She was a little hard to accept.

"Liar...... You're a liar......" Lorraine muttered, "why don't I remember that?" You're a liar...... It's not really ......"

"Of course you don't remember, heh, that slut secretly gave birth to you, raised you until you were four or five years old, and brought you to my house to force my father to admit all this. I will never forget your appearance, even if you have grown up, those eyes are my most painful eyes! ”

"No...... You lie! ”

Lorraine took a step back, like a beast cornered.

The aggressive Duke took a step forward, his eyes sharp.

"Am I lying? You look in the mirror and see what you look like, and that's an indisputable fact. From the first time I saw you at the Belvoir Hotel, I thought you were very familiar, and later I realized that this inexplicable familiarity came from my forehead. Because we are half-siblings, your appearance is five points similar to me before plastic surgery, and every time I look in the mirror, I think of your face, and remember that you are the daughter of that damn vixen back then! ”

The Duke's eyes flickered with anger.

She took a step forward, as if to push the overwhelmed Lorraine into a corner, into a corner.

The resentment and pain that had been hidden deep in her heart were finally revealed.

The painful memories that were originally covered up by the [Minghe System] also resurfaced in my mind as the memories were restored again.

She didn't want to open her wounds.

But now that tattoos have already been mentioned, it is inevitable that the matter will be involved.

In this case, she simply had a complete showdown.

"Lorraine, you know, every time I see you, I want to stab you in the eye with a dagger! Because your eyes look too similar to that slut's eyes, you are both good at deceiving men with their pitiful eyes and capturing men's hearts. ”

"I ......"

"You have that slut's blood in you, you are the product of my father's affair with a slut! If it weren't for you and that woman, my parents wouldn't have divorced, my mother wouldn't have remarried Joseph, and I wouldn't have experienced the things that made me miserable for the rest of my life! ”

"You're a liar! I don't believe it! ”

"Am I lying? Mars, take your top off and show her your tattoos. The Duke glanced back at Mars.

Mars looked at Lorraine, whose eyes were glistening with tears, and hesitated.

But the Duke also saw his hesitation.

This is exactly what she hates - this junior's daughter, who thinks that a few tears can make all the men stand on her side, protect her, and defend her?

"Mars, are you going to disobey my orders?!"

Mars was stunned.

Wait a minute.

It was a harsh scolding that he had heard before.

……

[Are you going to disobey my orders?!] 】

[Listen up]

[Now I am your teacher, and the Pope has handed you over to me to make you completely obey my orders. 】

Whatever I ask you to do, you must do it unconditionally. 】

[Even if I ask you to slit your own throat, you must do it immediately]

[Got it?! 】

……

Mars looked up, and the Duke's thunderous and angry expression in front of him coincided with a vague face in his memory.

It seemed that when he first followed her, she often said to him who disobeyed him.

And after this sentence, it will be a combination of a beating or strict discipline.

“……”

His memory told him that he had to admit that the Duke was right.

His past really has something to do with her.

As she says in Mirror Connection, his outlook on life. The worldview, values, and even the training about the killer were all arranged and taught by her.

He remembered, remembered the first dictionary she had given him, remembered the look on her face when she taught him harshly, remembered her harshness every time he didn't do as well as he wanted.

She was his first and only mentor.

He remembered the look of surprise in the Pope's eyes as he followed her and was brought to her.

He also remembered what the Pope had said when he asked him to study with her—

[Child, from today onwards, you will follow Ophelia]

[She will reshape your soul]

【Temper Your Will】

[You're a natural killer]

[Should be loyal to the organization]

……

Mars lowered his head and put his hands at his sides.

"No, Mentor, I am completely obedient to your orders."

【Instructor】

He remembered what he had called her, and he remembered his obedience to her.

He had said this many times before.

It was also on similar occasions that every time he chose to obey, unconditionally obey, and this time, it was no exception.

Mars took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.

And at this moment, Lorraine saw his tattoo for the first time, on his left chest, there was indeed a tattoo of a woman's head, that woman had the same hairstyle as the duke, but between the eyebrows was somewhat similar to herself, but if you looked closely, the bone was more similar to the duke.

The Duke stared at Lorraine and said coldly-

"Little slut, see, that's me from the past, half of our genes come from the same man, that's why you look a little similar to me before, and Mars also mistook you for me, and he protected you only based on the order I gave him in the past - it was I who let him enter the [Minghe System] to find me and protect me. Because I knew that once I was arrested by the police, I would have only one fate - to be sent to the [Minghe System], and I could not guarantee that I would be able to get out of the [Minghe System] smoothly, so before I was arrested, I left a letter and a photo, asking this child to follow my instructions and bring the information related to me into the system in the form of tattoos, maybe so that he can remember the memories in reality. ”

The duke was stunned and sneered.

"It's just that I didn't expect that when the police rounded me up, there was a big explosion at the scene, I was disfigured, and when I was dying, the police activated the protection plan, arranged for the hospital to operate on me, and only after I was convicted did they send me to the system 'unrecognizable'. And I didn't expect that you would also be sent to the [Minghe System]...... It's really a creation and a trick, maybe it's destined in the dark, and the two of us are destined to be enemies for life. ”

Lorraine listened to the duke's words, lowered her eyes, and clenched her hands.

The Duke looked at Mars: "Son, I'm glad you still remember something, even if it's just a vague fragment, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to get out of here." ”

Mars nodded silently.

He had always been cold and haughty, and for the first time he was obedient like a slave.

But Lorraine, who was on the side, was still immersed in the shock of being hit by the truth.

She didn't expect her past to be like this.

When she lost her memory, she also fantasized about what her original family would be like, especially the appearance of her father and mother, their recent situation, if they knew that they were in the [Minghe System], would they be worried, etc., but she didn't expect that it would be such a family background. She is the daughter of a junior, and her happiness is built on destroying the happiness of another family, and she is even the product of an affair, a woman uses to compete for her lover's favor and use it as a bargaining chip for her position.

She is an existence that should be morally criticized a thousand times, and her life seems to have been a mistake from the beginning.

"Impossible......"

Lorraine lowered her head and muttered, this time, she seemed so powerless, as if she was still dying in the face of the truth.

"Mars, I'm going to give you a mission." The Duke looked at Lorraine, "Kill this woman for me." ”

Mars and Lorraine were taken aback by the explanation.

"Mentor ......"

"The mistake made by her little mother, I want to get it back on her little slut." The Duke's voice was cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

It seemed like something she had always wanted to do.

Unexpectedly.

The [Minghe System] actually fulfilled her wish.

In a way.

She should be grateful to those who sent her into the [Minghe System].

Because of this, she can finally kill this little slut she has hated for many years.

She snatched her father, the family that belonged to her, all the warmth and happiness that belonged to her, and pushed her into the abyss of endless pain.

It's not fair.

She must die!

Hearing the murderous intent and anger in the duke's words, Mars hesitated a little.

"But ......"

"Mars, you're the top player in his food chain, it's up to you, it makes sense."

The Duke said categorically.

Mars looked up at the determination in the duke's eyes, knowing that she had made up her mind that there would be no room for reversal.

“……”

Mars pursed her lower lip and didn't speak, but leaned sideways, as if resisting something.

Mars ...... Are you disobeying me? ”

"I'm sorry, mentor, I don't want to kill her, but if you want to kill her, I won't stop you."

The Duke narrowed her eyes, her gaze crossed Mars's shoulder, and looked at Lorraine, who was standing behind Mars, with an innocent and pitiful expression, and the disgust in her eyes deepened a little.

“…… Hmph, your face is exactly the same as your mother's crying. ”

"You...... Ever seen her cry? Lorraine looked at the Duke in surprise.

"Yes, when she took you to my house to cry, she had such an aggrieved expression." The duke said, and took out his knife, "At that time, I hid behind the curtain, and when I looked at her, I especially wanted to use a dagger to cut off her face with a knife, and see what kind of face was behind that pear blossom with rain." ”

As he spoke, the Duke turned the dagger in an arc, holding the blade of the dagger himself, and pointing the hilt towards Mars.

"Mars, as you are the player at the top of the food chain, I order you to kill Lorraine."

“…… Are you my top player? ”

The Duke took out two cards with his other hand and handed them to Mars, who was about to reach out and take them, but the Duke let go, and the two cards were thrown lightly on the white stone steps. Mars looked up at the Duke, her expression did not change, but her slightly narrowed eyes were cold, he knew that her action had a derogatory meaning, but he still squatted down obediently and picked up the two cards.

On the card of [Upper Player in the Food Chain], it reads: Blonde Haired Player.

On the card of the [Lower Player in the Food Chain], it reads: A man with a scar on his face.

The inferior person is obviously his Mars.

Mars looked up and faced the knife in the duke's hand.

"Mars, you choose, do you kill Lorraine, or do you want me to kill you first and then kill her?"

“……”

"Mind you, if you die at my hands now, you'll barely score any points in this game, but if you've killed Lorraine, the points on the blood list will be a different story. Mars, she's not the one you want to protect, and now that you know the truth, it's your best bet to follow the rules of the game and kill her. ”

The duke calmly analyzed the pros and cons for Mars, word by word.

She said it so well that it was hard to argue with.

Indeed, now, it seems that there is no second way to go.

Mars looked at the knife handed by the duke, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He raised his hand, took the knife, and turned to look at Lorraine.

"You—don't come here......"

Lorraine took a few steps back, and she stumbled and nearly fell down the white stone steps.

Now, she is at the bottom of this food chain. Duke Mars Lorraine, the upper player can kill her at any time, she can't resist, she can't fight back, she can only defend or escape, and the current opponent is the always ruthless Mars.

"Hmph, Lorraine, didn't you just say that you would admit it even if you were killed by Mars? Why are you starting to be scared now? The duke crossed his hands in front of his chest, with a playful expression, but there was a mockery in his eyes that was difficult to hide, "You are the same as your lowly third mother, you will only use the compassion of men to seek the best interests for yourself." You were convinced that Mars would not hurt you, so you dared to appear in front of Mars, and directed and acted in a play of 'Innocent White Lotus to win favor'. But now it's different, you don't have any position to Mars to protect you, I'm his mentor, I want him to do it to whoever he wants, he has to do it to whom, plus he's your superior player, killing you makes sense. So, you're starting to get scared too, because this time, you could really die. ”

"Me. I didn't have ......"

Lorraine took another step back, her clear eyes tinged with a hint of despair, reflecting the approaching Mars and the coldness in his eyes.

She admitted.

Indeed, as the Duke said, the reason why he helped Mars just now was based on the belief that he would not harm himself.

But she didn't expect that the reason why he didn't hurt himself was that he mistakenly thought of himself as a duke!

Now that all the misunderstandings had been explained, she was not the person Mars was determined to protect, or even the one the Duke hated very much.

Now, she really put herself in a trap......

Mars ...... Please don't kill me......"

"It's the rules of the game."

Mars said, and the dagger spun around and threw it at Lorraine! Lorraine subconsciously lowered her head, pressed the dagger to wipe her hair, and plunged it into the tombstone behind her.

Lorraine turned and fled to the nearby mountain trail, Mars drew his pistol from his waist and was about to chase after him.

"Wait."

The Duke's voice came from behind him, and Mars looked back at the Duke.

The Duke threw him the shirt he had just taken off on the ground.

"Put on your clothes and go."

"Yes."

Mars grabbed the clothes, grabbed them and chased them in the direction that Lorraine had run away.
