-- If you continue like this, you won't lose.

As the sense of reassurance spreads through my heart, a thought of disgust at the feeling of relief comes to me.

Xia Jing, who was in a complicated mood, pursed his lips and suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing.

“…… Hey? ”

It didn't seem to be Xia Jing's auditory hallucinations, and the two warring sides on the field stopped fighting together.

Further, it was the twins who stopped attacking Ye Ya and retreated to the window.

The ringtone is the same as before – in other words......

"Yes~ I'm Xiangxiang."

One of the twins pulled out his mobile phone from his arms to answer.

"Uh......h No kidding! ”

The enemy's behavior of not taking the battle situation into account as if there was no one in his eyes made Lin Yu angry and scolded. It's just that according to the character of this child, it is likely that the anger is due to the sudden interruption of the battle that was in the heat of fighting.

「…… Slow down, Lin Yu."

Ye Ya did not change his serious expression and stopped the excited Lin Yu.

"Something isn't right." Xia Jing also felt the same way, and always felt a kind of indescribable strangeness. When the twins' cell phone rang – no, from the moment the twins showed up – there was an unnatural atmosphere in the air.

What exactly is that unnatural place? While Xia Jing was thinking, the telephone conversation was also going on.

"Well, our side has failed. Huh? Good...... Got it."

The conversation was brief, and one of the twins, Kaka, quickly ended the conversation without mentioning anything to infer the content. I saw her say "see you later" and then hung up the phone and took the phone back into her arms.

「…… It's a pity."

She turned to Ye Ya and the others again, a smile on her face.

"That's right, I'm sorry, Xiangxiang."

Sasha, who hadn't spoken of the phone, echoed as if she had known the call.

"What's the ...... What a pity?"

"Retreated."

"Retreat."

After the twins replied to Lin Yu, who was stunned, they smashed the window of the examination room with their weapons. Along with the shutters, they were broken to pieces. The deafening sound made everyone's faces tense.

"It's fun, but I don't think it's very enjoyable. Isn't that right, Sasha?"

"yes, Xiangxiang. I really hope that next time I can use my real skills to kill you to the death."

The two of them stepped on the window frame and said, as if they were saying that the fight just now was just a casual play.

The unnatural feeling erupted at this moment.

「…… Hey, wait a minute."

It's weird.

Bottom line – what is the purpose of these guys?

sent a haohu to attack the hospital, so as to lure Xia Jing and others. But in fact, he set a trap and tried to assassinate Ya through Shinoda. So far, it's been fine. There is nothing unnatural.

However, why did the twins appear here after the failed assassination of Dr. Tian Zhi? If Tian Zhi is just an abandoned son who can be thrown away if they lose their use value to Nangong and them, then why invade the hospital early and hide? It's okay to leave him alone, success is earned, and failure is not lost. Even if he sent people to monitor because of Tian Zhi's defection, there was no point in showing up to start a war.

Of course, if their plan was to defeat Ye Ya with the hands of the twins, and then use Tian Zhi's scalpel to make up for the fatal blow, the situation would be different. But looking at the situation of their fight just now, it seems that half of the entertainment component is the component. Previously affected by the preconceived notion that "this is the way the twins have personalities", they didn't take it seriously, but now they plan to retreat without any attachment, saying that things are not as simple as they originally thought. They had other purposes

「……！」

-- Do you think so?

Xia Jing's face changed drastically. He thought of it.

After seeing Xia Jing's reaction, Xiangxiang said mischievously, "Break it, big brother."

"Wait......!"

Xia Jing didn't have time to stop it.

The twins jumped out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"To ...... What the hell is going on? Where are they going?"

Lin Yu was stunned, but Xia Jing had no intention of paying attention to the question of the twins.

If your prediction is correct, now is the time to ......

"Hey! Blanket Doctor!"

Xia Jing hurriedly turned his head to look for his figure, I don't know if he found out about this fact, and wanted to use the deer clan to no avail, but the result was ...... No, it turned out just as he expected – he became a pawn to be used.

"...... right now"

Xia Jing was stunned before he could speak.

Ye Ya and Lin Yu also looked around in amazement.

When did he disappear?

Tian Zhi was nowhere to be seen in the treatment room.

On the other hand, a little earlier.

When Ye Ya, Lin Yu and the twin sisters were in full swing

Separated from the weapon, he collapsed to the ground, and the battle between him and Anno was decided.

Anno hung the headphones around his neck, put the magic harp at his feet, and pursed his lips.

The fact that Dr. Tian Zhi and the defection to join Ye Chun's camp hit her hard.

When she thought of Tian Zhi's feelings of knowing that it was a trap packaged with rhetoric, but still accepting it with all her heart, she was so sad that she couldn't help herself.

However, the most important thing now is to find a way to deal with the two injured people, who were seriously injured.

Although Lan Yang was covered in bruises, she still retained consciousness, and the injuries should not be life-threatening. Like other deer tribes, as long as you go back to replenish your nutrition through food supplements or drips, and then get enough sleep and rest, you can recover your health.

The problem is on the other hand. She lost both hands and her right foot, her limbs scattered throughout the hallway, and she lost consciousness. She was already suffering from lung disease, and the injuries caused by the use of weapons must have eaten away at her body and lifespan.

──Why...... Want to do that?

Through the eavesdropping device installed on Xia Jing's body, Tian Zhi's words also reached Anye's ears, but Anno couldn't accept his statement at all. Tian Zhi said that he joined Ye Chun's camp in order to cure his illness. However, in response to her husband's mood, why did she do this? Betraying his people, putting his life at risk, and ruining his heart and body. In this case, it is not a means to achieve the right end at all.

Forcing oneself in a way that suppresses feelings, and stubbornly believing that this is doing it is paying for the other person, isn't this the same as the previous all-nighters?

"Senior Sister Lanyang."

Anno, distraught, turned his head to ask behind his back.

"Is your body okay?"

"Well, it doesn't matter."

"I'm sorry, I'll go and see my sister's situation first."

In short, bring her to Tian Zhi's side first. This miserable appearance should have the effect of giving that stupid adult a slap in the face. Rugao is still obsessed, saying that the guy is not qualified to be the husband of the dead.

Anno disarmed his weapons and took a step towards the death.

「…… Woo."

She was in slight pain, and consciousness seemed to be slowly returning.

It seems that the consumption of the body is smaller than expected. That's great.

Anno, who thought about it like this, breathed a sigh of relief with relief, but

As if he had been waiting for this moment to come, he saw the door of one of the wards in the corridor slowly open.

"Giggle...... It's a pity."

With a singular sneer that was sinister and sneering

"What...... Will ......."

Emerging from the door was a girl in uniform with long hair tied into two ponytails, and ......

"Good work. I commend you, Anye, Lanyang."

The whole body exudes a majesty that does not match the childish face, and the girl who looks very similar to Ye Ya.

"How could it ......?"

Anno stopped.

Nangong and Ye Chun.

Why are they here?--Thinking of this, Anno was shocked......

Since the twins had been hiding in the hospital from the beginning, it also means that the two of them were also likely to be ambushed in the hospital in advance. You should have been aware of this possibility beforehand and be wary.

"Woo......!"

Anno immediately put on a stance. Take out the weapon from your bosom.

However, the location where the two appeared was very bad, right in front of the place where they fell to the ground. On the other hand, Anno and Yao are about four or five meters apart.

Nangong held the wheels in both hands and entered the preparation posture early. Ye Chun also walked out of the ward at the same time, and without hesitation, he took out the unsheathed treasure knife and put it against Yao's neck.

Their actions were carried out in one go, and Anno was completely caught off guard.

No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning.

The distance between the two sides is close enough, and it is not impossible to get closer in an instant. It's just that there is Lan Yang behind him, who is covered in bruises.

"I'd better not act rashly, Anno."

Perhaps sensing An Ye's calculations, Nangong pursed the corners of his mouth and teased, "However, for us, it doesn't matter if you want to act rashly. Because whoever dies depends on what you do. Cluck...... What do you want to do? Do you want to sacrifice Lan Yang to save the dead? Or stay there to protect Lan Yang, and then not save yourself from dying? Whatever you choose, we don't mind."

Nangong was not wrong at all, and because of this, listening to Anye's ears was like a cruel declaration.

The weapon's enchantment can only cover a radius of two meters at most. In other words, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't protect Lan Yang and Yao at the same time.

She began to regret her unconscious actions.

If you don't put the magic qin on the ground and continue to wear headphones, you can attack Nangong and them, although it will also hurt Lan Yang and Yao, at least there is a chance to break through the predicament.

But it was too late. Ye Chun now only needed to blink an eye to pinch Duan Yao's throat.

What a foolish thing it is to throw down your weapon just because the battle is over.

If it were a mother, I would never have made such a naïve mistake

「…… Woo."

At this time

The fallen Xiao sighed again, and she regained consciousness.

I saw her slowly raise her head and open her eyes faintly.

"Sister!"

Yasuno couldn't help but shout, as if he was begging for something.

"Please, run away!"

"Anno ......?"

Blinked his misty eyes.

When she noticed a knife against her neck, she raised her gaze slightly.

"Lord Haharu......

Ye Chun only glanced at her, and then smiled like a king.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to kill you now."

It's like—like you're announcing the death sentence to your subordinates.

"Yes......

He has lost even the strength to resist.

"No! Please, stop!"

Anye pleaded bitterly.

She hated her own powerlessness, and on the other hand, she didn't know what to do, so she could only shout excitedly.

However, as if he was persuading Yasuno to dispel his thoughts, he smiled at her with a face that felt that he might lose consciousness again at any time.

"It's okay...... Anno."

"Sister ......?"

"I've ...... Die without regrets. Because I fought for that person, people like me...... Originally, I was just a burden...... In the end, I was able to fight with him."

That smile

It doesn't mean that she accepts her fate, it's not regret, it's not enlightenment.

Rather, it is serene with a quiet smile.

Her smile was contented.

「…… Why?"

Yasuno couldn't think through it, couldn't understand it.

Why did she have such an expression?

cooperated with her husband, hurt herself, became devastated and eventually died under the knife of others. But why did she seem so content?

Xiao looked like he was having trouble breathing, and turned his gaze to Ye Chun.

"Can you please...... Promise me? After killing me......

Then he turned his gaze to Anye and Lanyang in order.

- Is this person supposed to ......

When it comes to life and death, are you still worried about the lives of others?

"Okay."

As if paying tribute to her, Ye Chun showed a down-to-earth attitude.

"I promise you to spare them."

"Really...... of?"

"I swear by the dignity of the deer patriarch...... Only in this moment, of course."

"Really...... That's enough, thank you."

Close your eyes.

Yasuno screamed. Before she knew it, she opened her throat and screamed. Even she didn't know what she was shouting, she just wanted the scene in front of her to stop. It is unacceptable that such a fact is happening. Tears blurred her vision. There was an urge in my heart to rush forward. But the last shred of reason—the fact that a rash move would kill Lan Yang—made her step on the brakes.

"Do you have any last words?"

Ye Chun asked.

"Nope."

Answered.

Anno's wail did not reach the hearts of the two men.

The sword ruthlessly took her moribund life.

After killing Yao, Nangong and others quickly evacuated from the hospital.

Nangong summoned back the twin sisters who were responsible for containing Ye Ya and the others, and the four of them left from the entrance openly.

As if he had returned in triumph, he frightened the mercenaries hired by the Holy to watch around.

Ye Chun took the lead, Nangong followed him, and Sasha and Xiangxiang retreated three steps behind.

The guards were all strong men, but the young girls swaggered as if they were in a no-man's land, ignoring the distant surveillance.

At this moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of them.

「…… Oh."

Ye Chun is suffocating.

She didn't exude murder or hostility, just smiled with nostalgia.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, 'S.'"

"I didn't expect us to meet again in such a form, Ye Chun."

The sand who confronted her had resentment on her face.

Unlike Ye Chun, Shazi's tone was condemning with hostility and a hint of pity.

"Looks like you're getting your way."

"You know what's going on?"

Ye Chun didn't change the smile on his face.

"All I could hear was the sound of the doctor's room. But what happened, I can roughly imagine."

Sand snorted resentfully and continued, "I admit that we lost badly. It's up to you to come up with such a cunning scheme. It's just like a human being."

Even though he was ridiculed by the sand, Ye Chun's face still did not change.
