In order to make sure that he would not suffer in close combat, he turned around and found his kitchen knife on the cabinet and carried it in his cloak, stepped forward to open the door, and as expected, a face appeared in front of him.

Luo Ning naturally placed one hand on his chest, although this place is not very suitable as a battlefield for war, but it is also necessary to take precautions to avoid being preempted by the other party in an unsuspecting situation.

Duke was dressed up and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your help before, it's basically packed up now."

Now that it has been decided to go to war, there is naturally no need to involve Tonina and leave a psychological shadow on the girl.

Luo Ning glanced back at the empty room.

"If you're here to bring Donina back, all I can say is sorry, she's asleep."

Duke smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't get me wrong, if Donina is asleep, let her stay here, I'm here to ask you to do me a favor, remember the cage in Donina's house, the dog has been dead for a long time, and it's useless to keep the cage, but it takes up space, so I decided to throw the cage away, but it's a bit heavy, I can't do it with Sophia, I have to ask you to help."

Is it really just a cage lift?

Duke's attitude changed a little too quickly, and it was doubtful that he had been so stubborn that he had to take the girl back without the slightest room for relaxation, and now he let the girl stay here.

The other party also thinks that this place is not suitable as a battlefield?

Exactly, since that's the case, let's go to war in another place.

Ronin smiled back.

"No problem."

The two walked down the dark street one after the other, the light snow fell on Duke's shoulders in front, and Ronin kept his right hand on his chest at all times.

Walking to the door and opening the door, Duke stood aside and made a gesture of please.

Luo Ning smiled, and then stepped into the room with one foot, and looked directly at the suitcase on the beam in the living room, if the suitcase changed position, the other party would definitely find that his important items were missing, which meant that there was no problem with the previous guess, and the purpose of shouting that he came was to do it.

As far as the eye can see, there is no sign that the suitcase has moved.

He was slightly stunned, could it be that the other party called him over to really just carry away the iron cage?

There was a sound of the door closing, and Duke took off his coat and hung it on a hanger in the doorway.

"Mr. Austin, forgive me for lying, I just have something to ask." The tall man who had taken off his coat bypassed the young man in front of him, walked straight to the sofa in the living room, and turned his hand to signal.

"Come and sit."

No matter!

Whether the other party finds out or not, you have to do it tonight anyway, just look for a suitable opportunity.

Luo Ning walked over and sat on the sofa opposite, there was a coffee table less than a meter wide in front of the two, and he adjusted a sitting posture that was easier to get up from, so as to avoid being nestled in the sofa and unable to react immediately in a sudden situation.

"What's the matter?"

Duke always had a smile on his face, but at this time he looked a little grim and spoke slowly.

"Did Donina tell you something?"

Luo Ning was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to ask like this, because he was too sudden to answer for a while.

"If you have heard something from Donina that makes you care so much about Tonina, then you don't have to worry, I admit that you don't pay enough attention and care to her, this kind of child will usually do quite outrageous things to get the attention of those around her, such as lying to you and making up things that never happened."

Duke spoke softly and looked at the young man.

"I think she said the cage was for her, and you made an excuse to come in and check the house to see the cage, right?"

After a pause, he continued to chatter.

"By the way, her eyes were a little bruised a few days ago, which she accidentally caused herself, and I asked her what was going on the next day, and I must have told you that it was domestic violence, right?"

He looked rather distressed, his head bowed, his hands crossed together.

"In any case, the cause of these misunderstandings is caused by me and Sophia's lack of care for her, from now on I will correct it, although you are more competent in caring about Tonina than me and Sophia, but children can't leave their parents after all, right?"

The other party has learned the previous lesson and wants to negotiate with him in a softer way.

"If it weren't for Benjamin and the rats who saw those facts, they would have almost believed your nonsense." Ronin thought to himself.

I believe you're a ghost, bad old man is bad!

However, the other party used lies to negotiate peace with himself, which means that the other party does not know anything at present.

At this time, Duke turned to Sophia, who had been standing at the bedroom door, and Sophia came over and sat down, bowing her head and sobbing.

"Donina is a good girl, I owe her."

"If this sentence came from the mouth of a living Sophia, it would be quite touching, but at the moment it is just a cold corpse in front of me."

Luo Ning looked at Duke, who was manipulating the corpse puppet to play the emotional card, and scolded him.

"Just take advantage of the topic that the other party said to continue to paralyze the other party, make the other party careless, and look for an opportunity to hit the target."

At this thought, he rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed.

"Well, Mr. Duke, as you expected, Donina did tell me something, I always believed it to be true, so I did my best to take the girl away from you, I'm sorry, but just like you said, the girl lied to get your attention and concern, there is nothing wrong with the starting point, you have to promise that you can't hold her accountable when the girl is sent back, otherwise the girl will have to stay with me."

Duke's face flushed, smiled sincerely, and stood up and held out his hand.

"I promise, never, if Donina comes back and complains to you, you can keep Tonina with you forever."

Luo Ning got up and stretched out his hand to hold the other party's palm, thinking with a sneer in his heart.

"Of course Donina won't be complaining to me when she returns, because she will become a corpse puppet like your wife."

Letting go of his hand, Duke was enthusiastic.

"I'll send you back, and bring Dong Nina back by the way, I don't think she has rested yet."

Ronin shrugged and smiled.

"As you say, that's just an excuse she doesn't want to come back."

Duke walked in front, Luo Ning followed closely behind, the lie had completely paralyzed the other party, and the moment the other party's finger touched the doorknob, it was the best time to make a move, and the other party's vigilance would be minimized.

Three......

Two......

One......

Ronin looked at the hand that touched the doorknob and wanted to open the door, and instantly pulled out a slender and somewhat blunt kitchen knife from his arms and stabbed Duke in the neck from behind.

"Poof"

The next second, there was a muffled sound, and the kitchen knife completely penetrated the opponent's neck.

Blood slowly flowed from the cuts on either side of the blade and down the neck into the collar of the linen shirt.

He let go of his hand and took two steps back, and Duke's body fell straight down.

Luo Ning's lips were dry, and his chest turned upside down.

Although the last time he killed Rensad, it was in a darker environment, and Rensad was a monster, but this time he killed people like himself by candlelight, and it was difficult to adapt for a while.

He was standing still trying to adapt, when a loud bang sounded behind him.

Luo Ning, who was awakened, quickly turned around, turned around and instantly pulled out the pistol from his arms and was ready to pull the trigger.

I was relieved to see Sophia who had also lost her movement on the ground, the atmosphere was so tense that the tension was a little dizzying.

The pale skin exposed on Sophia's neck began to lose its original luster at this time, and slowly turned black and purple.

This is a precursor to the corpse golem regaining its essence and decomposing after losing the control of the Awakened Ability.

Withdrawing his gaze from the corpse, he turned back and walked over to the fallen Duke and leaned down to look at it.

The inevitable event of his own is to protect Donina, and now that he has done so, he should get the combination card, and by the way, Duke's own original destiny card.

Pulling the kitchen knife out of the corpse, he grabbed Duke's arm, which had a black vein like a plant root, and the kitchen knife slashed through it, and the blood slowly oozed out.

A moment later, the pattern appeared in the blood stains that flowed on the ground......

"Duke, the Awakened, Second Career Physician."

In the upper left corner of the blood pattern, two imperceptible horizontal bars can indeed be seen.

Luo Ning stared at the pattern and suddenly thought of something.

"Where's the combo card?"

Now that the inevitable event has been completed, this is the time when the combo card pattern should appear.

"Isn't that how you get the pattern for the combination cards?"

He stood there and muttered in a low voice.

"Or is it inevitable that Tonina is not over yet, and there are other things that need to be done?"

When I was thinking about it, I caught a glimpse of surprise out of the corner of my eye.

Duke, who was lying quietly on the ground and was already dead, suddenly raised his hand quickly, and there was an extra gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the young man's left arm at this moment.

"Bang"

The moment the loud bang appeared, Luo Ning jumped sideways, drew a parabola and flew to the sofa on the side.

Fall on the sofa and roll down to the side of the sofa.

Duke didn't even die, how could this be possible, his kitchen knife had obviously pierced his neck, and the major artery in his neck had been destroyed, and no one could live in this situation.

Lying on the side of the sofa, Luo Ning was shocked, and took out a pistol full of bullets from his arms and loaded it, and his left arm hurt hotly.

Tilting his head to observe, although the bullet just now did not hit, it grazed his left arm and scratched his clothes and skin.

"It's dangerous, if you slow down, the bullet has completely penetrated the left arm and entered the body along the left rib."

There is not much space to take shelter on the side of the sofa, so you can only lie on the ground, which is obviously not the best place to hide, and you have to change places.

At this time, Duke's eerie laughter was heard.

"Mr. Austin, I have to thank you for the relief of a long-standing problem in my heart."

The voice came from the position behind the sofa, Luo Ning didn't have time to listen to the other party's nonsense, determined the other party's position through the sound, quickly got up and pulled the trigger continuously.

"Bang ......"

Taking advantage of the time gained by the three-shot suppression, an arrow stepped out of the couch, rolled over, and entered Tonina's bedroom, standing against one wall.

The series of actions just now was too physically demanding, Luo Ning looked down at his rapidly rising chest, and sighed secretly.

"I'll have to find a way to get fit after this fight."

The three shots fired in a row just now forced Duke to hide in the bedroom on the other side, and the doors of the two bedrooms happened to be in the same corner of the living room, which happened to be in a diagonal state.

Across the bedroom door, a slight footstep could be heard, Duke moving, and Duke's voice could be heard at the same time.

"It's been a long time since I've been in this town, and although the inevitable event that the dream suggests me has something to do with Donina, I don't know exactly what to do, who is the other awakened person in my inevitable event, I know that you and Rensad are members of the Order Church, only you can become an awakened person here, compared to you who are a teacher for children and a part-time doctor who always shows up, Rensad lives in seclusion, so I tend to be Rensad, until recently Rensad completely disappeared, I am more sure that it is him, Because the Awakened face many threats from other Awakened Ones, the best thing to do is to hide. ”

Luo Ning suddenly realized when he heard the voice.

"It turns out that Duke didn't do it for the same reason as himself, and now the other party's troubles are solved."

There was laughter from the next door, and the conversation continued.

"Taking care of children is always a headache, so I often use violence to solve it, but I didn't expect you to start meddling, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, so I decided to turn Donina into a puppet like her annoying mother, but it was disturbed by a fire, and now it seems that the fire was not accidental, it was you who deliberately set the fire to stop me, am I right?"

Ronin remained silent, avoiding the other party's voice from judging his position in the room.

There was another eerie laugh.

"No need to answer, the answer is obvious, now it seems that you are not out of the responsibility of the teacher to help Dong Nina, but the inevitable event as an awakened person is to help Dong Nina and solve me. As for my goal not to be Renzaard...... It's you. ”

After another moment, Duke was still chattering.

"I'm curious, how did you detect my every move, and set fire on time to stop me from harming Donina, I set a lot of curse magic around the room, if someone watches it, it will be attacked by curse magic."

Luo Ning still didn't answer, reached out and picked up the pillow from the bed, and threw it on the iron cage not far away, making a crisp sound.

When the crunch appeared, a loud bang followed.

"Bang"

The bedroom door was pierced, a hole appeared, and the iron cage was hit by bullets that pierced the bedroom door, sending out sparks.

The attack with the blessing of superpower was incredibly fast, and Luo Ning gasped and kicked a pair of shoes on the soles of his feet again, hitting a nearby wall.

"Bang"

Another bullet pierced the wooden door, leaving a hole in the nearby wall.

This time Ronin didn't just try, unlike the voice of the voice, to shoot a bullet from the opposite room at the door panel of Ronin's room, he needed to be close enough to the door, and the bullet would not bend.

The next second when the bullet penetrated the wooden door, he quickly dodged to the wooden door and fired two shots, and then quickly dodged back to the wall next to it, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the movement on the other side.

After about a few seconds, there was a cry of pain from the other side.

Ronin was rejoicing as the screams of pain were replaced by playful laughter.

"Good job, almost hit me, by the way, don't you want to know why the blade passed through my neck why I didn't die?"
