……

Elandi leaned against the wall across from the infirmary with her arms folded, occasionally glancing at the red light on the door with uneasy eyes.

"How's Rey?" Gaia trotted over.

"Rescue." Elandi is off the hook.

"What's going on?" Gaia was a little agitated.

"I don't know what's going on!" Elandi looked more irritable than he was, tiptoeing on the ground.

"No, let's both calm down." Gaia sat on a bench in the hallway.

Elandi walked over and sat next to him and took a deep breath, "In the morning, Rey said he was too tired to sleep a little longer, so I'll go get some food for Rey." When he returned, he was already on the ground, with a knife stuck in his back, which belonged to Blake. Blood all over the ground. "The question now is what Blake has in mind...... If you hurt Essence Rey, it's over! ”

"Rey and Blake had a quarrel the other day...... "Gaia thought about it, "Blake is going to do this?" ”

"Who knows if it's revenge." Elandi was indignant.

The red light turned green, and Rey slowly walked out against the wall, and Elandi stood up to help.

"Jingyuan, is your heart okay?" Ellandi looked at him.

"No, it's just a bit of blood loss. It didn't hurt the vital point. Rey frowned, "I can't remember how I fell......"

"Did you fight him?" Elandi recalls the messy room full of furnishings.

"No...... I mean, I can't remember. Rey closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment, "I don't remember anything......

"What's the last thing you can remember?" Gaia asked.

"Recent ...... It was Elendi who turned off the lights before going to bed last night. Rey opened his eyes, "I don't remember anything about this morning. ”

"You said you were tired and wanted to sleep a little longer, and then I'll go get you something to eat," Ellandi prompted, "You said you could eat whatever you wanted, without too much trouble......

Rey shook his head.

……

The captain came to have a discussion with everyone wrapped in bandages, which really made the teammates worried, and everyone prepared a medical kit, first-aid medicine, or something, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Rey waved his hand to signal that he was okay.

"I think Blake should ...... I wouldn't do that. Anyway, there must be a relationship with the captain. Neuer pinched his chin.

"That......" Cassius propped his head, "how do you explain the knife?" ”

"So it's a contradiction," Elandi pushed the purple-handled knife into the middle of the table, "and what everyone thinks of Black, and what was left behind in the scene, is contradictory. ”

"Isn't Blake's knife for Xue Meng?" Isenger frowned.

"It can't be Xue Meng's doing!" Greo immediately objected.

"Didn't the knife end up in Yumina's hand?" Kay Xi looked at Yumina.

Yumina shook her head, "I'll give it back to Xuemeng." ”

"It can't be Xue Meng." An Liang supported her cheek with one hand, "She's so small......"

"That's between Yukimo, Yumina, and Blake......" "No! No way! "Then how do you explain this knife?" "In case it's stolen!" "How could it be stolen!" "Why can't it!" Mirith and Gaia quarreled.

"Hey," Stao advised, "re-analyze." ”

"Fingerprints." An Liang made a plausible suggestion.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

……

The analyzer quickly sifts through the owner of what is on the knife.

Soon, the results of the analysis were available on the screen.

Fingerprints: Blake, Yummena, Yumina, Cassius

Blood stains: Cassius, Rey, Luo Tianlin, Xue Meng

Duration of use (approximately): 20 years

Dr. Pat looked away, "That's how it turned out. ”

"During the Battle of Boulder, give me the bullet, and Blake used that knife," Cassius recalled, "and there was a blood stain on the knife that was mine. I've touched that knife too. ”

"My bloodstains are from this morning...... Rey lowered his eyelids.

"Xue Meng is using her own blood to heal the wounds of other elves." Yumina blinked.

"Can this fingerprint distinguish a robot?" Neuer was skeptical.

"Yes." Dr. Pat nodded, picked up a screwdriver and placed it on the analyzer.

The situation about the screwdriver is displayed on the screen:

Fingerprints: Pat, Sean

Duration of use: three days

"This was bought with Captain Roger's recent salary, and it's very useful......"

Rey interrupted Dr. Pat, "Is there surveillance in the house?" ”

"There is no privacy issue in the bedroom." Pat replied.

"But I still don't believe it's Blake...... "Rey muttered and walked out.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

……

The sun is setting.

"Blake left, returned, left, returned, I can't count how many times this is!" Elandi was inexplicably agitated, "Don't you really feel annoyed Rey?!" ”

“…… I do not know. Rey shook his head, "Trust this thing......"

"He's done this kind of thing this time, you still ......" "He won't do it."

"See for ......yourself," Ellandi handed him a newspaper.

The headline is striking: Blake Re-enters the Black Souls?

Rey tossed the newspaper away, "I don't believe this. ”

"Then why did he leave?" Elendi looked at Rey.

Rey didn't look at him, "Maybe he has something to worry about." ”

"Is he in trouble? Don't you have a hard time? Elendi's expression became complicated.

"I don't care." Rey laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Why are you torturing yourself so much......" Elendi sighed and hung her head.

"I know you care about me too." Rey patted him on the shoulder, "I...... Still believe in Blake. ”

"What if you're disappointed?" Ellandi looked at him.

Rey looked at the complicated feelings in his red eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "When that happens, you can laugh at me again." ”

"I think I'll comfort you anyway." Elandi's eyes were half-closed.

"Thank you." Rey hugged him.

"I guess I'll have to disturb the cozy atmosphere." Neuer smiled an awkward but polite smile.

Rey let go of Elandi, "What's wrong?" ”

Neuer frowned, "Cassius just told me that he felt uncomfortable. I think it's a lot like a precursor to a runaway curse, and you'd better check it out. ”

Rey was startled, "Where is he?" ”

"Near my house...... Slow down and be careful of the wound! Neuer and Elandi watched as Rey ran out as fast as he could.

"Cassius!" Rey stood on his feet and looked at the black smoke that swirled around him, "You ......"

"Let them ...... Evacuate! Cassius' blood-colored eyes stared straight at Rey.

"It wasn't that serious...... "Neuer arrived.

"Quick! Tell your comrades to evacuate all the elves and robots on this level of the Cell! Rey shouted at Neuer.

He nodded, moving quickly, "Gaia Muse Mirius!" Isinger Kaixi! Captain! Unika Yumina São! ……”

"Cassius, calm down," Rey approached him, "you're still conscious. Don't be afraid, the innocents on this level have already been evacuated. Now it's just the two of us. ”

"Don't come near me!" Cassius' crimson eyes stared at Rey, for fear that he would suddenly lose control and pounce on him, "Don't come here!" He held his head in his hands and shivered, and the black smoke swirled around him.

"Cassius!" Rey raised his hands to try to calm him down, while cautiously approaching him, "...... Cassius, look at me. He raised his guard a little and then lowered his tone and whispered comfortingly, "Calm down, don't let that curse take over you completely." ”

"Don't come here!" Cassius took a step back, his heel against the corner, "I...... I can't control myself! A blinding red glow flashed in his eyes, and black smoke slowly rose. He slowly raised a hand to Rey, and his palm quickly condensed black energy.

Rey still took a few steps forward towards the black energy condensed in his palm, and at the same time secretly prepared, he could dodge at any time in an emergency: "Cassius, calm down, I won't hurt you." Think Blake...... Don't be easily controlled by the curse! ”

Cassius threw his arms together, and a light black disc appeared in front of him.

It's Netherworld.

His hands charged towards it, and energy erupted from the center of the disc in a cylindrical shape.

"Hmm......" Rey gritted his teeth and barely dodged a backflip, inadvertently pulling the knife edge behind his back, frowning lightly as the stinging pain came, "I can't keep consuming it like this...... "He took half a step back and mobilized the energy of his whole body, and while condensing the energy in his palm, a golden current also jumped around his body, and his feet suddenly rushed up, "I'm sorry Cassius!" ”

Cassius flipped his wrist, the color of the light black disc deepened, and the energy of the ground system quickly fused into it, and the shield was formed. Due to restraint, the energy of the electric system did not have a great effect. Cassius summoned his energy and blasted the shield open.

Rey's electric energy collided with the shield of Cassius's shadow and increased the energy output at the same time, and the fire light reflected Rey's eyes brightly, and before he could react in the next second, Cassius mobilized his energy to blast the shield open, because it was too close, the huge impact force lifted Rey all away, and after hitting the mechanical wall of the Cell, he barely stabilized his body and stood firm to temporarily defend himself, and the explosion and the scattered pieces of rubble scratched his skin and left blood marks. Rey gritted his teeth and swallowed the ** in his throat, and the electric current lit up again in his palm, and then he slammed the energy in his palm into the ground.

Electro-based abilities are ineffective against ground-based skills.

Cassius also crouched down and slammed his hands on the ground, causing several black stone pillars to rise from the ground and force Rey away; At the same time, the black smoke wrapped around his body quickly condensed and formed in front of him, forming a cloud of black fire wrapped around the stone pillar and rushing out together.

"It's really troublesome to hiss...... restraint" Rey muttered to himself, quickly taking off to dodge the approaching stone pillar, until his back touched the cold wall of the Cell, he reacted that there was no way back, looking at the stone pillar that still had no intention of stopping, he gritted his teeth, once again mobilized all the energy in his body and slammed into the stone pillar that was approaching him, and at the same time secretly adjusted the energy output to the maximum before barely blasting the stone pillar open. As the huge stone pillar gradually disintegrated, he once again turned his attention to the hostile Cassius on the other side, and his nerves tensed.

Cassius kept his hands on the ground in his position, his head down and shivering. He didn't make the next move, the thick black smoke and drooping head made it impossible for Rey to see his face.

He fell to the ground with a limp in his hands, and his forehead hit the ground with a muffled thud.

“……！ Cassius! Rey didn't react for a long time, but the next second he fell straight down, panicked all of a sudden, and rushed up to help him up, "Hey Cassius!" Wake up! ”

The black smoke on Cassius's body gradually dissipated, "Don't ...... Don't shake ......," he snorted as he leaned against the captain.

"Whew, it's okay." Seeing that he had a little reaction, Rey let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed, letting him lean against him, "...... Then take a good rest. ”

"Woo...... I'm sorry, Captain. Cassius opened his eyes and looked at him, "It hurts...... he slowly raised his hand and gently wiped the blood from Rey's face, afraid of hurting him.

"It's fine." Rey let him raise his hand to wipe the blood from his face, tilted his head and chuckled, "...... I'm your Thunder Team. ”

Cassius slowly sat up on his shoulder, looking at his loving eyes, and his heart couldn't help but feel sad. As he lowered his head, two tears snapped down on Rey's lap.

“…… What's wrong? Sensing that something had landed on his lap, Rey reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "...... It's okay Cassius, you don't need to blame yourself too much. ”

"......" Cassius didn't say anything and threw himself into Rey's arms.

Rey let him throw himself into his arms, sighed slightly and reached out to hug him back, "You have to be strong when you're so old, even if Blake is gone, you still have us." ”

Cassius nodded, sobbed, and sat quietly in the captain's arms, waiting for his fast-beating heart to settle down.

Looking at this scene in the surveillance, the hearts of the comrades-in-arms slowly sank.

Inas crossed his legs, holding a newspaper with the Cell.

"It's all about exploring, discovering new elves, using energy, and ......fighting with Obi," she flipped through the paper, headline prominent: Blake re-enters the Dark Souls?

"I don't carry this pot, I can't find Blake if I want to," Inais crumpled the newspaper and threw it out, "who spreads rumors every day." ”
