"Colin, if I were you, I wouldn't do this."

A deep voice sounded behind him, and Colin paused, and he looked back to see Blackblade standing next to a spruce, pistol raised, pointed at him.

"Black, black blade?!" Colin shook his hand, and the black blade shot the iron rod in his hand, and he let go of the iron rod at once, and the iron rod fell at his feet and smashed against a stone.

"Uncle Blackblade!" Ogar breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the black blade that suddenly appeared, as if he saw a rescuer falling from the sky.

No, he is indeed a rescuer.

"Colin, do you know why I dare to shoot?" Blackblade lowered his pistol, lifted his leg over the trunk of a fallen tree on the ground, stepped over a moss, and walked a few steps away from Colin.

“…… Because you're my top player. Colin pushed his eyes, his face visibly paler.

Blackblade snorted coldly and took out two cards.

"The broken system gave me two cards, one of which said my next player, the player with glasses. Obviously, you are my prey. Blackblade looked at Colin, his gas mask covering most of his face, making it impossible to read his expression, but it could be inferred from his tone that he didn't seem to hesitate to take out Colin.

Colin swallowed silently, he was speechless.

Indeed, out of 12 players, he is the only one who wears glasses.

The direction of this game's clues is too strong, so that he has nothing to hide and cannot distinguish.

However, he was not willing to be caught like this.

Thinking so, Colin grabbed Ogar's arm beside him, pulled her over, clamped her neck with his backhand, and pulled out a dagger and pointed it at Ogar's fragile neck.

“…… Blackblade, if you're going to kill me, I'll kill her first. ”

"Brother Colin ......"

"Shut up!" Colin glared at Ogar in his arms, "If you move, I can't guarantee that the dagger won't stab you." ”

Ogar looked at the cruelty that flashed in Colin's eyes, and his heart was cold.

It's hard to imagine that this little brother fled with her in the last game and studied the virtual model of [Mirror Connection] together. And just a few minutes ago, he saved her from the mountain ghosts.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the person who wanted to hurt her was actually him.

And her expression, demeanor, and tone changed so quickly that she was dumbfounded.

What's wrong with everyone in this world?

Why do you have to be like this to live?

There is only one relationship left between people to use each other, and this relationship is so fragile that it can be overthrown at any time, betrayed at any time, and even the last bit of trust will be cut by the dagger of desire to survive.

But the black blade a few steps away is not threatened by this.

He also drew his dagger and held the blade with the hilt facing outward.

This is his usual gesture before throwing the dagger.

Colin was startled and hurriedly grabbed Ogar in front of him, but Ogar was only seven years old, how could the child's body completely block his body? He could only crouch down and choke Ogar's neck, popping half of his head from behind Ogar's shoulder, and looking at the black blade vigilantly.

"Black, black, I advise you to calm down!"

“……”

"If you dare to act rashly, I will kill Ogar!"

"Little ghost, you don't think that if you control that little thing, you can threaten me." Blackblade narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke, and raised his hand, his eagle-like eyes staring at Colin's head poking out from behind Ogar.

It's a fun game.

There was a moving live target in front of him, and he was asked to practice his knife.

He couldn't ask for it.

"Black Blade, he can't threaten you, what about me?"

When they looked back, they saw Icarus standing on the path among the fir trees, looking coldly at the farce.

"Icarus?" Blackblade turned sideways and looked at the man warily.

"Black Blade, watch out for the knife in your hand, don't throw it at me." He smiled faintly, with a calm and calm look in his golden eyes, "After all, I'm your superior player." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people present were shocked.

"You're my top player?" Blackblade didn't believe it, but instead clenched the dagger.

"What is written on your upper circle card?" Icarus asked softly.

“…… Players with heterochromic pupils. ”

"In this game, Caesar's eyes are dark red, my glasses are golden, and the eyes of other players are dark brown or black of normal humans, who do you think the player with heterochromic pupils will be?"

"How can you guarantee that it's you and not Caesar?"

Icarus chuckled, and he opened his arms: "It's very simple, because Caesar is my superior player." ”

Icarus said, taking out two cards and turning them upside down so that the others could see the blood on the front of the cards.

The first card reads Icarus's superior player: a girl under the age of 16.

The second card says Icarus' next player: a man in a gas mask.

"Originally, I was still guessing whether my superior player was Caesar or Ogar, but let me overhear your conversation, I know that Ogar's subordinate is the Duke, then things are much simpler, my superior, is Caesar, my subordinate, it's you, Black Blade." Icarus smiled slightly, his smile was a little chilly, like the excited expression of a predator before seeing his prey, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I can hunt the second player on the blood list, and I can make a lot of money this time." ”

"Hmph, are you here to protect that newcomer, or are you trying to get points?" Blackblade glanced at Colin, "If it was to score points, you should have snuck up on me just now." ”

"For both reasons." Icarus took a few steps forward, walked in front of the black blade, raised his eyes and looked directly into the black eyes of the black blade, "The usefulness of this spectacle boy is too great, I have to keep him." ”

“……”

The four people present formed a food chain.

Icarus - Blackblade - Colin Ogar.

One ring after another, in addition to Icarus and Ogar, Blackblade and Colin have both natural enemies and targets that can be attacked.

Colin kidnaps Ogar and threatens Blackblade, who is about to kill Colin, and Icarus, who arrives at the end of the chain, becomes the controller at the top of the food chain.

Wheels within wheels.

"Make a deal, Black Blade, you let the glasses go, I can let you escape for five minutes, and then chase and kill you."

"Do you think I'm a wagging tail and begging for mercy?"

As soon as the black blade finished speaking, he threw the dagger in his hand at Colin with his backhand, and he rushed towards Icarus, and Icarus noticed his movements, and also drew his dagger and stabbed it!

The dagger thrown by the black blade grazed Ogar's shoulder, stabbing Colin in the shoulder, Colin wailed, fell back in pain, and let go of Ogar's hand, but Ogar was carried by his strength, fell to the side, and rolled down the hill.

Here, the black blade held Icarus's dagger with one hand, the sharp blade pierced his palm, and the warm blood stained the sleeves red, Icarus turned his hand and pulled out the dagger, stabbing towards the neck of the black blade, but the black blade raised his hand to block Icarus's dagger, Icarus raised his foot to hook the black blade's leg and knocked him to the ground, but the well-trained black blade shifted his focus to the left foot that was attacked by Icarus, held Icarus's wrist with his backhand, twisted his wrist, held the blade and took away the dagger, Icarus was about to draw his pistol, but the black blade held his wrist, and the two men scuffled and rolled down the hill.

Colin gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger thrown by the black blade on his shoulder, and saw the black blade and Icarus rolling down the hill, he was about to chase in the direction of Ogar, but after thinking about it, Icarus wanted to keep himself, if he could help Icarus kill the black blade, then his superior player would become Icarus who would not kill him, and then he would have no enemies.

With that in mind, Colin turned his head and chased in the direction that Blackblade and Icarus had rolled down the hill.
