Volume 5: The Cold-Blooded Princess and the Dark Paradise Chapter 54: The Children of the Nether

.

If there's one characteristic that has given Ed the most impact of the power shown by picking a rabbit since it appeared, it's undoubtedly her speed. That kind of explosive short-distance rapid movement that is almost teleportation can no longer be regarded as a human being, it is already beyond the limit of normal human functions - of course, it cannot be said to exceed the limit of living beings, some of the biological weapons that Ed has seen in the past when he was in the interstellar world are above the current rabbit in terms of speed and strength, but of course those things cannot be regarded as human beings, and they cannot even be counted as real creatures in the strict sense, and the one in front of him now is undoubtedly a human ...... It should be, right?

I don't know what I don't know for the time being, but what Ed can be sure of is that Rabbit is not an ordinary person, not an ordinary person like him, and he has not undergone the same training as him that belongs to ordinary people. Ed didn't know the specifics of the content, but he did hear that there are many methods and technologies in the interstellar world that can train ordinary people to be superhuman, but those are all anti-humanitarian experiments that are prohibited by the orders of the governments of various planets, and I heard that each of them is extremely cruel and has a very low survival rate, and even in the dark world, few organizations will run this kind of business, because the cost is too high, and there is no way to promote it on a large scale - unless one day, someone can invent a new improved technology, Dramatically increase the tricks and success rate, and it will really attract the attention of those big players who are high on the top.

And if that happens, there is no doubt that the entire universe will inevitably be turned upside down because of this.

Ed didn't know if the rabbit was the product of similar anti-humane training or experimentation, but one thing was for sure, and her strength was indeed at a superhuman level. Of all the people Ed knew and knew, there were only a handful of monsters that could rival it, and he himself was not one of them.

For the time being, he's a real normal human, at least biologically. And Ed's attitude towards that overly powerful and twisted power has always been only one - sick.

For a long time, in Ed's eyes, power is the same as money, as long as it is enough, it is just a numerical number, and if it is too large, it is just a numerical number, and there is no end to greed, which will consume your life's time, so that you don't have any energy to do what you really want to do. And if what a person really wants to do in his life is to keep increasing his strength, then this kind of guy is no different from a miser in Ed's eyes, and he is purely sick.

Power is only a tool, and what you want to do through power is the end. Ed's own powers and skills are nothing compared to today's interstellar, but they are enough for himself - at least, they were enough before.

For now, he felt that he should consider having a good talk with Albert after buying a few insurances, and finally get a painless result. As for the name of the beneficiary, maybe you can talk to Marcy and ask her to transfer it to an orphanage or something later. Anonymous transfer.

I thought about it far, but I couldn't help it. That was all he thought of at the moment when the folding knife, which had been stained with an unknown amount of human blood, spun and flew in front of his eyes, only a millimeter away from his eyeball, and the moment he watched the sharp tip of the little knife about to plunge into his head. He scolded the perverts in this world who pursue warped power, and then considered whether he should give up some of his human part for the sake of great power, and then considered what to do if he failed and died - although he thought of a result, but I have to say that buying insurance is really not a good idea, it is undeniable.

Then, just after the cranky thoughts stopped, Ed suddenly realized that he was still alive and not dead. The knife in front of his eyeball stopped before piercing his skull, and a small white hand grabbed the handle at the end of it at the last moment, saving Eddard's life to the limit. But before Ed could catch his breath, he was kicked out.

The rabbit was put on one by old Carl, and then another. Normally, people like her don't make a lot of mistakes, but today she is a little out of shape, a little funny, and after the rhythm has just been messed up a little, she is like a mouse that has been kicked and takes a wrong step, and she is dizzy.

In general, she underestimated Carl and the buttonman soldiers of the Donfried family. Maybe it's because she herself is a little too ignorant of the dark group of button people, because she always fights alone, at most she only teams up with Nancy, even with the button people under her own family, so she underestimates the huge role that these guys can play in some specific situations.

Ants say weak, nothing weaker than them, ants say strong...... Nothing is stronger than them. As long as the trend is right, even tigers, leopards and jackals can only flee in the face of ants, and in that infinitely small body, what can be exerted is infinite power.

The worst part was that Rabbit didn't know about the Button People, but she thought she knew about them, and the reason was that she'd slaughtered a fair number of them. However, this time the situation was a bit special, she had never encountered a large number of buttonmen under the command of a leader like Carl, and she had never imagined how much trouble these weedy buttonmen could cause her with a leader like Carl under the command.

As bad as it was, she had to say "I got it." Originally, even in the face of Carl and his little minions at the same time, the rabbit was confident that he could kill them all, but she didn't expect that in the presence of Carl, those waste-like buttons would be able to burst out with such a huge cohesion, and completely obey Carl's command, and forcibly used her life to drag her pace, stop her steps, so that she had no way to get out in a short time, and could only watch Carl's figure disappear, Follow the shortcut on the giant machine to the fleeing Ed and Duroc Sr.

Although this time it also completely angered the rabbit, so that she completely let go of her hands and feet and tore all the buttons in front of her into pieces of flesh and blood, and followed Carl who was one step ahead with a head in her hand, and arrived in time to join the battle on the other side of the situation that was obviously not good, but it also made her own rhythm a little more chaotic.

She descended from the sky, entered like a meteorite, suppressed the army of buttoners with one move, and immediately attacked Carl, drawing his attention away from the old Duroc under him and Ed on the other side, attracting him to her side, and hiding behind the phantom hand while the other party reacted-

However, this was all resolved by Carl. This old monster who has experienced many battles over the past few decades, the biggest difference between him and the rabbit is that he was not "made", he grew up like this naturally. So he is different from a rabbit, fundamentally different, lacking in some places and incomparable in others!

He threw the two buttonmen from the rabbit to the left and right and struck them in both directions, and unsurprisingly, he saw the sharp flash of the knife and slashed at his neck like lightning. He had already been prepared, grabbed the seemingly tender knife-holding wrist of the petite girl with his backhand, took advantage of the gap in the opponent's body that had nowhere to borrow his strength, turned around and spun around in a circle, and unloaded the folding knife directly from the rabbit's hand with a sophisticated and strange technique, and then slammed the rabbit's body to the ground behind him while shaking the wrist of the other hand, and the knife flew towards the Ed face door that had not yet reacted to this scene.

It was too late, and the rabbit who was thrown to the ground caught Carl's movements out of the corner of his eye, and the blood on his body stopped flowing at this moment, and then boiled explosively. Carl's move was a killer move, a very deadly move, and if she couldn't do anything, then Ed would definitely die. And if Ed dies, then her mission will undoubtedly fail.

She's never failed - after officially joining the Dark Paradise, becoming the eldest lady's hound, and starting to work for the family, she hasn't once disappointed the eldest lady and the master. In the back of her mind, it was something that could never be forgiven.

“……!!”

At the moment when he unswiped the knife, Karl's expression was very strange, as if he was silent, as if he was nervous, as if he was crazy, and under the calm stagnant water was a raging and rolling undercurrent. He kept that motion—in fact, he couldn't do anything else in that short time—and the only thing he did was squint his eyes at the rabbit that had been thrown to the ground.

Then, as he expected, things turned out.

Without warning, a strange, suffocating, fiery and rich smell of blood as if from the hell of death suddenly awakened from a deep slumber at the bottom of the sea. A volcano erupted. This time, even with Karl's vision, he only saw a vague phantom, and after touching - and back - touching the ground, it immediately disappeared in a dull crash, like a distorted light that escaped the gravity of a black hole, flashed in front of Ed, and grasped the hilt of the knife before the sharp knife light flew into his head, saving Ed's life and kicking his feet on Ed's chest in order to prevent him from colliding with Ed, kicking him backwards completely.

Turning over and falling to the ground, the rabbit returned to the knife in his hand and spun it for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked at Carl.

"Really...... Hehe, there's nothing surprising about it. I should have thought a long time ago that you things really couldn't disappear so simply with the end of the war. Rubbing the blood on the corner of his mouth, Carl smiled and sighed, his eyes were dangerous and bright like never before, "It's just that I didn't expect to see one in this small place of Bablore—'Children of the Netherworld'!" ”
