Does she know 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.

"Is there something wrong with Sister Nangong calling?"

Then while nodding his head, he asked Nangong in a provocative tone: "I think you can't find us, are you anxious now?" ”

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 is the order of the patriarch, we will not be able to die obediently!"

Lin Yu drank heavily, but Nangong was still indifferent.

"Phew. 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."

Xia Jing was halfway through his words, and his voice became hoarse.

Was it because of the silence that had previously been silent, or was it because I was nervous?

"Did they know about me here?"

"I don't think so."

Sandzi shook his head.

"Nangong didn't mention you at all just now. According to that guy's personality, if he knew you were here, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to taunt you a word or two."

"However, it is not ruled out that she knew that I was here, but she deliberately did not pierce it...... In short, let's plan tomorrow's battle on the premise that the other party knows that I will also fight."

Thinking about it from another angle, this development is not a bad thing.

Even if the other party took the lead, he knew more clearly what to do next. Fortunately, the other party announced his own actions, so there is no need to worry about our possible sneak attack.

However, a feeling that something was wrong swept through Xia Jing's mind. Something seems to be weird. He couldn't say why, it felt like a little spike in his throat. But that suspicion only lasted for a moment—and Xia Jing blamed himself for being too careful. -It must be because of too much tension in the relationship that I am so nervous.

"Anyway, let's get in touch with Sister Yao first."

Although Nangong and the others should not use the forecast as a smoke bomb and then attack early, they still have to let the hospital be vigilant and aware in advance.

"The manpower stationed in Tian Yijing also needs to be increased."

Sands got up, pulled out his phone and walked towards the corner of the room.

Lin Yu, An Ye, and Lan Yang all showed uneasy glances and looked at the back of the sand.

After seeing everyone's reactions, Xia Jing spoke to Ye Ya, who was sitting beside him, "Are you okay?"

Ye Ya looked calm, and a peaceful smile appeared on her face.

"Don't worry. I'm strong-willed...... Because I'm with you."

"Ahh

Xia Jing gently put his hand on the golden branch that had not been on his waist for a long time.

He thought as he took a deep breath.

Can I become a usable soldier?

Will I be able to exert my full strength?

I've got to get rid of that muddy fear.

In order to let the heart be firmly tied to Ye Ya and Fang Yuan.

- In order to no longer be under the control of Aki Yin.

The next day, Xia Jing took leave and did not go to school.

Because he needed time to hold combat meetings, and he didn't have the heart to chat and laugh leisurely with his classmates. However, it may make Li Mu worry again. Although his emotional side has stabilized a lot after reuniting with Ye Ya and others, it has only been a few days.

In this way, I haven't apologized to my classmates. Although she conveyed her concern to Anye, Anno should not have contacted that classmate yet. Yasuno only said that he would contact him again when the dust settled. It's no wonder, after all, when you are in danger of being killed, following your scalp and telling your friends "I'm doing well" is tantamount to opening your eyes and telling nonsense.

Of course, Xia Jing was not happy to see An Ye sacrifice his life and die in battle.

After the combat meeting, it was decided that Xia Jing, Ye Ya, and Lan Yang would enter the Tian Hospital to prepare for the attack.

Yasuno and Lin Yu stayed outside and waited, smashing in halfway depending on the situation—in the same way as when they first attacked Qiu Yin's hideout. The difference is that this time there is sand and expensive logistical support.

In the meeting, some people also suggested that Xia Jing should be placed in the standby team than dumplings. However, Xia Jing thought that it was safest for him to stay in the hospital from the beginning. This alone will have the effect of pinning down the enemy.

The group set off from Shazi's house after noon and arrived at the hospital at 2 p.m. Of course, the drive from home to halfway through is still required to wear a blindfold. Not only Xia Jing, but Ye Ya and others are no exception. Is this really a sign of vigilance?

The only car that drove into the underground parking lot of Tianqiyuan was the car carrying Xia Jing and others.

As soon as the car stopped, I received a call from Sand. "Let's make a final confirmation."

In the first sentence, she said to Xia Jing lightly:

"Yasuno and Lin Yu are on standby in car No. 2. Their car was parked in a spot where it could be assaulted...... I have deployed manpower around the hospital to monitor the hospital. If you find out where they are, they will notify you immediately.'"

"Understood."

『…… It's just that, in such a heavily guarded situation, how are those people going to attack?"

"I don't know. But...... The people in charge of monitoring are only ordinary humans, and the deer clan can force a breakthrough. There's no way they're going to have to machine shoot them, right?"

Xia Jingban said jokingly, but Shazi's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"Don't underestimate the Deer Clan. Guns alone can't deter the deer."

"Well, that's not the real point to complain about......

"I'm telling the truth."

Sand said lightly:

"At least in terms of the range of weapons I can get my hands on in this country. I don't know any big guys, and what I can get my hands on at the moment is a pistol or something like that, but if I have the ability to shoot myself in the head, the result is a different story...... But you wouldn't be happy about that happening, would you?'

「…… That's right."

Xia Jing was a little surprised, and Shazi actually had a way to transfer the gun.

"Unless the brain is damaged, the deer can keep moving. As long as you survive the first shot and close the distance before the second shot is fired, the opponent is finished. Firearms aren't too threatening weapons for the deer."

Xia Jing thought to himself, in the face of such a messy opponent, I can survive until now.

"Anyway, the security part is bothering you."

"Understood. Take heed to yourselves.'"

The phone hangs up. Xia Jing got out of the car and looked at Ye Ya and Lan Yang in order.

"Alright."

The only weapons I can get now are the ones I brought with me that night. In contrast, the enemy has a tomb. I don't know what kind of weapons they will use to fight.

In fact, Xia Jing felt a strong uneasiness.

Even so

"I hope I can catch at least one or two of them."

"What kind of discouragement, Xia Jing."

Ye Ya smiled bravely at him.

"We're going to beat them to the ground. We are going to bring Li Qi back, and we will ensure that his life is safe."

"Hmm."

Lan Yang also rarely opened up to express his opinion: "Xia Jing. We...... Bring Sister Ya back."

"Okay." Xia Jing nodded, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared, and his mood stabilized.

"Let's go on then. I'm ready to fight back."

From the hospital's underground parking lot, take the elevator for employees all the way to the fourth floor.

Dr. Tian and Yao, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, had a great contrast in their expressions.

Dr. Tian still goes his own way, looking like someone is carrying it when the sky falls, and it is difficult to hide the uneasiness in his heart.

"You're giving me a lot of headaches like this."

Dr. Tian looked at Xia Jing and the others while scratching his head, and replaced greeting with a complaint.

Even though he complained verbally, he couldn't see that he was troubled at all.
