……

Imperial capital, imperial city, welcome hall.

A grand feast was taking place here, and many of the nobles of the empire were all dressed in fine costumes.

According to common sense, now that the empire is in constant civil strife and the people are struggling to make a living, the new minister will never allow such a blatant extravagance and extravagance banquet.

But today was different, a distinguished guest visited the imperial capital, and the new minister personally held this grand welcoming ceremony.

So, who will be the guest of honor?

Different from the previous relaxed and extravagant banquets, the nobles present were all military attaches wearing weapons, and even the attendants who entertained the guests were disguised by powerful royal guards, not so much a welcoming ceremony as a murderous Hongmen banquet.

Directly above the guild hall, a blonde woman with half-white hair held her cheeks high and sat on the chief seat, wearing a bright red minister's robe that made countless people shudder, even in a colorful banquet, the supreme presence of the chief was enough to overshadow everything around her.

Needless to say, the only person who can wear the minister's uniform is the powerful new minister, who is now Xia Lan.

During the day, Xia Lan received a letter of challenge, signed by Su Shu, which made her ecstatic.

For more than a year, in addition to unremittingly implementing the method of change, she has been sending people to find the whereabouts of Su Shu and Zhang Hao all the time, but since cooperating with Su Shu to deal with the underground black market, Lan and Estes teamed up to sabotage the cooperation and seriously injured Su Shu, Su Shu has completely lost her news, no matter what kind of tentative moves she makes, Su Shu has not come forward, as if she has disappeared from the world, so she can't help but wonder if Su Shu will be seriously injured and die...... Dead in a corner?

It turned out that this possibility did not exist, and Su Shu was finally willing to take the initiative to show up.

As for Zhang Hao, since the last battle to annihilate the revolutionary army, Zhang Hao has disappeared since then, probably because he realized that he could not confront the empire head-on, and turned to secretly accumulate strength to prepare for another rebellion.

Su Shu ......

Even if you're willing to take the initiative to take on the challenge, what's the point?

It's not that she's confident, but that she holds an anti-imperialist trump card like Ereston, and no one in the world is her opponent for a long time, so Su Shu's challenge is naturally meaningless.

At this moment, a heavy footstep interrupted Xia Lan's thoughts.

A young man dressed in a white mourning dress walked into the hall.

Looking at the young man's mature face, Xia Lan felt a little familiar, but for a while she couldn't remember who it was, obviously this was not the person she was expecting to see.

"Are you ......" As the young man stepped in, Iyeas on the side suddenly trembled violently, and couldn't help but come out and carefully look at the young man's face, "Tower...... Tazmi?! You're alive?! ”

Tazmi?

Seeing Iyeas's violent reaction, Xia Lan was stunned for a moment, and then returned to indifference, Tazmi was undoubtedly the helper Su Shu found, but what was the point?

Nope-

Make sense.

Of course, it is not a practical meaning, but pure malice, Su Shu intends to carry out despair to the end and not let anyone go, just like Iyeas and Tazmi, who used to play with each other from childhood to adulthood, are now relatively close to each other, isn't this desperate enough?

Su Shu, your bad taste should be enough.

Xia Lan frowned, she wanted to get up to stop it, but seeing that her body was getting worse and worse, and her time was running out, she suddenly couldn't bear it, what could she change by preventing the tragedy from happening?

The entanglement between Iyeas and Tazmi is best resolved by themselves.

Perhaps, Su Shu also thought so, so he made the so-called challenge book to end everything.

Xia Lan put down the hand supporting his cheek, straightened his posture, and watched the changes.

"You're Iyeas?" Tazmi stared indifferently at his former companion, Iyeas, who was tortured by drugs and was almost inhuman, and he couldn't connect with the imaginary sunny boy, which made his heart hate this evil empire that destroyed the world even more.

"I heard...... You joined the rebels? Iyeas lifted his vain steps and walked up to Tazmi's with difficulty, barely squeezing a smile out of his pale face, "Turn back...... Tazmi, the eldest lady is a wise minister, and she will tolerate all your mistakes, so ...... Come back, my friend. ”

"I refuse." A flaming sword was aimed at Iyeas, and it was the weapon that Tazmi had drawn, which not only made Iyeas's face change drastically, but also shocked Xia Lan in the chief position.

Fallen Fire!

This sword is a weapon belonging to Zhang Hao, how could it fall into the hands of Tazmi? What about Zhang Hao?!

Tazmi clenched the fire sword, his eyes full of sorrow, and said in a desolate voice, "Dead." Enlightened me to realize what it means to be a righteous benefactor. He was killed by the sinners you call wise. ”

"This sword—this sword—" At the moment of witnessing the falling fire, Iyeas couldn't help but show deep resentment and fear on his face, and for a moment the girl's voice and smile flashed through his mind, and finally the picture was frozen in the moment when the girl was gone.

Sayo ——!

It was this sword that burned to death!!

And now the person who holds this sword of sin is Tazmi——?!

Iyeas didn't believe it, he couldn't believe that his companion would raise such a sword and aim it at himself......

"Dead?!" Xia Lan stood up, his cold gaze pierced Tazmi, and asked in a deep voice, "Who did you say died?" What about the owner of this sword?! ”

Glancing at the unbelievably beautiful red-robed beauty, a surging anger suddenly rushed to the top of Tazmi's head, and he gritted his teeth with great hatred: "General Zhang Hao was forced to death by you!" Even if I can't fully exert the power of this sword like General Zhang Hao, who sacrificed his life for the revolutionary righteousness, I don't plan to leave alive when I come today, I just die! I'm going to burn my life to light the light of righteousness! ”

Such righteous and awe-inspiring words......

is very similar to Su Shu's hypocritical tone, and it is obvious that Su Shu is brainwashing Tazmi behind his back.

And Zhang Hao's death, there is no doubt, it is absolutely impossible to be forced to death by her, she has never given such an order, but has repeatedly emphasized that Zhang Hao will be captured alive, according to Bude's report, due to the desperate resistance of the revolutionary army, Bude also deliberately let Zhang Hao go a way, how could he kill Zhang Hao? After all, as a general, Bude has never done anything that goes back on his word and loses his identity.

Su Shu –

Xia Lan only felt her head buzzing, and her body slowly sat down again, her hands tightly clenched the armrests on the seat, and the only conclusion she could draw was that Su Shu took the opportunity to kill Zhang Hao.

No wonder Su Shu dared to come to challenge her confidently, after all, if she thought about it, she knew that if she didn't have a certain amount of bargaining chips, how could Su Shu show up rashly.

However, Zhang Hao's cute spell didn't even know how to activate it by Zhang Hao himself, so what was the point of Su Shu taking it away? Killing Zhang Hao, a real companion, is not much good for Su Shu, and Su Shu should understand this.

The deep grief and indignation expressed by Tazmi is not a fake, and it is obvious that Zhang Hao is really no longer alive.

Boom.

Xia Lan's hands almost crushed the hard handrails, she didn't understand, Su Shu, who was so determined, what else did he want to do next? Next, do you want to kill her Xia Lan as well?

No, I'm afraid not, if I die, the trial will be over, this shouldn't be what Su Shu wants, after all, Su Shu said that he would stay in this trial world forever, as long as only himself and Su Shu are left in the world, the trial will never stop, and the world will also fall into endless darkness, is such a sick ending what Su Shu wants?

There is no way out of the trial, except to kill and be killed, only to give in.

Either I am willing to give up and surrender to Su Shu and become his slave again, or I will kill Su Shu at all costs and return to reality, is this the choice you have in front of me?

- Su Shu!
