- Frankly, it's hard for me to talk about this kind of thing.

Next, I will say it with some uncomfortable feelings:

“…… That's me. ”

After speaking, everyone's eyes were on the shelves.

After a pause, Xia Jing continued:

"They can't do it, because that's what they want is me. Even if there is a war, in order to avoid killing me by mistake, their actions will inevitably be tied hand and foot. From there, you can find out what you can take advantage of. ”

So it's certain that they shouldn't go all out to kill the killer.

Again......

"In the worst-case scenario, I can also be a hostage."

"Xia Jing, this trick is too ......"

Xia Jing smiled at Ye Ya, who was frowning.

"Why do you think so much." If you dare to kill me, I will kill Xia Jing first.'...... If this sentence is more or less intimidating to the other party, then it should be used more. Otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible for me to say, 'If you dare to kill Yaya, I'll kill myself to show you.'" Whether he is despicable or not, this is the way human beings fight. ”

Now I don't care about the question of whether it is beautiful or not.

If we can't brainstorm and come up with the best countermeasures to meet the battle, we are bound to be defeated.

After all, the enemy doesn't plan to leave anything alive except Xia Jing.

"Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Our current hiding place has not been exposed, and the other party can't directly attack Huanglong like us. But they are the ones who want a quick solution. In that case, it's not a bad idea for all of us to hide overseas for ten years...... You probably won't accept it, though."

"Needless to say, how can you run away with your tail between your legs?"

Lin Yu pursed his mouth as if he was angry.

"Still, I think it's a good last resort. Whether there is a way back or not, the mood is much worse."

Anno and Natsujing's memories.

「…… I'm really convinced."

Ye Ya also seemed to be a little dumbfounded and smiled bitterly, and sighed.

"I'm sorry you have the means to come up with those ideas one after another. It's very much your style."

"You don't sound like you're praising me......

"What nonsense, I'm complimenting you."

Although Ye Ya's tone seemed to be teasing, his eyes were very sincere.

"You can offer me a different way of thinking every time. As if telling me that I don't need to bluff, that I don't need to push myself to be aggressive, it's too late for me to be happy."

"No, that's not fun."

Strictly speaking, I'm thinking about it quite seriously. But listening to her say this, she and herself, who has always played cards according to common sense, may be normal for her to have such a chicken and duck talk.

- In other words, this guy has a good personality, but he also has a nonsensical side.

I'm really curious about which side is Ye Ya and which side is Fang Yuan. The two of them probably had a serious and nonchalant side at the same time, right? Although there is no evidence to prove it, Xia Jing still thinks so.

Being able to spare energy to think about such inconsequential issues also means that Xia Jing is now fully mentally prepared.

"So...... Shall we continue to stand still, or shall we take the initiative?"

The sand looked around everyone present in turn.

"With the nature of our deer clan, I hope to start acting as quickly as possible."

"I think so. But from my point of view as a human being, I'd rather wait and see what happens."

Wait for Ye Chun's camp to rush to attack

It's a good way to do it, and it's a good strategy for the current situation of waiting for work.

"Look at it and see what happens, or try to lure the enemy. You can also send someone to be bait, but there will be risks."

"Set a trap and wait for the enemy to fall into the trap......

Ye Ya's fingers held the pointed chin in contemplation.

"I don't really appreciate it. However, since you came up with it, it feels like it should be a feasible solution."

"I said Ya...... Although it is not appropriate to mention such words on this occasion, you are too happy with Xia Jing's wishes."

Yasuno spat at her with a wry smile on his face.

"Uh...... Anno, what do you mean by that?"

"But I can understand your feelings, although Xia Jing's ideas are not above board, they will make people feel like naughty children."

"That's right. Watching Brother Xia Jing use despicable tricks, I feel very happy."

"How about you put it mildly......

Seeing everyone's bright smiles, Xia Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that optimism necessarily helps, but in a situation where the situation is already dire – being too pessimistic is not a good sign. At the very least, there is room to fight with each other occasionally.

Our goal is not to win. It's about being invincible and saving your life.

As Shazi said, the deer clan naturally likes to take the initiative to attack, and it is better to defend passively, and Ye Chun Nangong should be no exception. With both factions of people and centaurs being deer clans, Xia Jing hopes that his human ideas can play a key role.

"I'm still in favor of holding the line for now."

After Xia Jing took turns looking at everyone's faces, he once again proposed: "Observe the enemy's movements first, and by the way, wear down their patience. If the other side shows signs of taking action, if they still hold their ground, we can also resort to luring the enemy. Presumably, the enemy should not be able to hold it back soon, and the possibility of taking the bait is very high...... I think that's the best we can do."

No one spoke out against it.

Of course, the last person to make the decision was Ye Ya.

Xia Jing was silent after speaking, waiting for her decision.

Just then, an electronic voice broke the silence.

The mechanical sound of "bell bell bell" made everyone raise their necks.

It's the ringtone of your phone.

The sound source came from the Blue Sun Bag, which had been silent and listened to the discussion.

After taking out her phone and checking the LCD screen, she picked it up and showed it to everyone.

The timing is ironic.

The name displayed at the top of the screen is "Nangong".

「…… Hey, hey, hey."

Just said that he wanted to force the opponent with static braking, and the opponent immediately came to this move, but it was out of the ordinary.

- She probably called because she knew I was here, right?

"What should I do?"

Lan Yang frowned slightly.

"Take it. But remember to switch to megaphone mode."

After Xia Jing expressed his opinion, everyone nodded in agreement.

After Lanyang finished operating the phone, he put it on the desktop.

"Hey?"

The voice that came from the phone was the one that sounded gloomy and sarcastic: "Yo, Lan Yang, it's great that you're still alive, it's so hateful that it makes me so unpleasant."

「…… Nangong."

Probably because of hearing Ye Ya's whispering, the confessor on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little disappointed.

"Yaya?"

The tone was disdainful.

"I think you're in good spirits, good. I hate it so much that I almost threw up.'"

Of course, there was a nameless fire in Xia Jing's stomach, and having no choice but to open his mouth would only make the situation difficult to manage, so he could only swallow his anger.

Xia Jingren is here, and he has already made the consciousness of fighting side by side with Ye Ya and others, does Nangong know about it? Unless you clarify this doubt, you should not disclose your whereabouts on your own.

It is necessary to verify whether she chose to call after this time by accident or deliberately.

After Xia Jing's fingers tapped on the table to attract everyone's attention, he pointed at himself, and then made a × gesture.

Lin Yu glanced at Xia Jing's gesture.

"Sister Nangong, is there something wrong with calling?"

Then while nodding his head, he asked Nangong in a provocative tone, "I think you shouldn't be able to find us, but now you're in a hurry, right?"

"Gluck, cluck."

Nangong replied with a smile that made people not know whether they were calm or brutal - there was no deep meaning.

"I've given you half a month. I thought you should be ready to obey the orders of the patriarch...... It seems that the opposite is true, and such a stupid act is so ridiculous that I can't stand it."

"Even if it were the order of the patriarch, we would not be able to die obediently!"

Lin Yu drank heavily, but Nangong was still indifferent.

"Ugh. The guardian of the family refused to die for the patriarch? Giggle...... It seems that the Lin family has also lost face. Is the inability to accomplish the mission inherited from the mother?'

「…… Woo!"

Hearing the insult of his mother, who had died for failing to protect the previous patriarch, Lin Yu's face instantly turned red.

I saw that she was so angry that she lost her mind, as if she was going to pounce on her mobile phone to seek justice, showing her bared teeth and grinning.

"That's sophistry, Nangong."

Shazi stopped her behavior and interrupted in a calm tone: "If the mission of the Lin family is to protect the family, then the mission of the family is to protect the safety of their compatriots. It is the responsibility of the patriarch to unite the clansmen and lead them to develop in the right direction. If you can't meet this standard, and you're still trying to wipe out the Clan, why should you be protected? If you want to lie, you'd better make a draft."

Even in the silence, the sand still exuded a bitter coldness.

"If Ye Chun is next to you, help me tell her. Our patriarch is Yea...... Tell her that we will be like those who resisted Ah Le's predecessors...... She also resisted betraying the deer clan......

『…… What?'

In the blink of an eye

"What deer? What family? Less boring. It's boring.' Nangong's tone plummeted and became even lower.

It wasn't a mockery, it was a resentful voice.

"It's the deer clan, it's the patriarch, it's the protector of the compatriots, and it's all about superficial nonsense. Doesn't the history of our race begin with the extermination of our compatriots?"

It's as if he's spurning the entire Deer Clan.

"If Ye Chun is a traitor, then the Ancestor himself is even more of a traitor. Back then, she took the life of her fellow who was eaten by the sword as a dowry to marry a human. Each of us has her bloodline in us, and we all have the prosperity that comes from killing our kindred...... Cursed and unclean bloodlines.'

It's like denying your own birth.

"So I don't understand, what do you have to be indignant? The daughter of her own family, who has inherited the strongest of the traitor bloodlines, just wants to bring out the dirty things that the first ancestor did - over and over again - but that's all. Or are you going to use some ethics to deny the killing that our ancestors did, and to deny our origin?'

It's like a curse—everything.

"It's ridiculous. It's so wrong! That's the values of human beings, so why do we monsters learn from human beings? That's why we've been cornered by humans! That's why it's like that...... Ordinary mortals play with the palms of their hands!'

Xia Jing suddenly had an idea.

This guy ...... Could Nangong actually not want to be born as a deer clan? Did she wish she was just a person who didn't have to carry a mission and didn't have a cursed bloodline on her body?

Or, her real hope is that Ye Chun can be born as an ordinary person in the first place

Indeed, if Ye Chun was a human being, if Xia Jing could have met her normally, things would not have evolved into such a field. There will be no tragedy, and no one will suffer because of it.

But it doesn't help to make these assumptions now.

Reality is not as good as imagined.

Ye Chunsheng is a deer clan, and his body is eroded by the pain that stops growing. This fused with her childhood feelings for Xia Jing, and became even more distorted, becoming the fuse for her murderous acts. These are realities, and things happen without a doubt.

Even if you resist reality and resent it, things will not get better. What we need to do is to face the reality and move forward into the future.

Fang Yuan had always had such an attitude all the way in the past, and Ye Ya now tried hard to learn and emulate.

Xia Jing couldn't help but want to break the scolding "What are you kidding".

And what about the bloodline of betrayal? The history of humanity itself is an endless betrayal. Whether it is his own flesh and blood or siblings, there are countless examples of stabbing in the back, pretending to be companions and waiting for the opportunity to murder.

There is no reason why just because our ancestors have done bad things should make the same mistakes ourselves

But Xia Jing still swallowed back the words that he couldn't help but rush to say.

Maybe he knew what Xia Jing was thinking, and at this time, Ye Ya looked at him and smiled slightly. Then she turned her gaze back to her mobile phone and glared fiercely, and asked Nangong, "Hurry up and tell your purpose, you won't call just to scold us, right?"

『…… Hmph.'"

Nangong let out a muffled snort as if he felt disappointed.

"I'm glad you had the means to be so calm. Or have you given up? Forget it, it doesn't matter......

After a pause, Nangong finally cut to the chase.

And what she said also shocked Xia Jing and the others.

"We're tired of wasting time like this. Since I can't find you, I can't find you, so I have no choice but to ...... We've decided to attack Tian Hospital.'"

"What......?"

Everyone in the room gasped. I had expected the prosperity faction to take action sooner or later, but I chose it while we were still thinking about countermeasures

"Was the other party preemptive?" ──

Such an atmosphere dominated the audience.

"It's tomorrow evening, if you want to stop us, let the horses come. Cluck...... We'll welcome it with open arms.'"

Nangong specially called to announce it, in other words, this was obviously a lure tactic that intended to take the opportunity to wipe out Ye Ya and the others. Moreover, even if they knew that this was a trap, Ye Ya and the others could only bite the bullet and moth to put out the fire. If you stand by and watch, you will inevitably die.

"That's all."

As soon as he finished explaining the important matter, Nangong immediately hung up the phone coldly. The sound of broken wires resounded in the guest room, making the already tense atmosphere even more tense.

「…… In this case, the trick of waiting for the rabbit will not be used."
