"So...... Mr. Roland, the third line of defense of the Association is entrusted to you. ”

"Don't worry, I'll do my best. ”

After saying goodbye to the rock, Roland walked out of the town guard office and exhaled softly.

Things didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped, and Prism City's tracking of the Fallen Demon came to a standstill, and he couldn't get any more information on the whereabouts of the other party.

The town guard notified him to come, mainly to arrange the garrison of the martial arts conference.

As mentioned before, after the tracking operation was frustrated, it became one of the main options to fight back against the enemy - since the Fallen Demon is so deeply hidden, it is better to wait for the rabbit in the assembly. In order to prevent internal attrition, the senior management of the association simply set a competition schedule and asked the star martial artists to follow the content of the table.

In other words, this martial arts tournament will completely turn into an elaborate trap.

Although there is a suspicion of match-fixing, in the face of an existential crisis, everyone knows which is more important. In addition, the high-level attaches great importance to this, and they are pulled into the office one by one to talk secretly, which can be regarded as saving everyone's face. When Roland came, he saw many celebrities in the hall, but no one showed dissatisfaction.

According to the plan, the entire defense circle is divided into four levels, with the government guard and guild members disguised as spectators as the first level, whose main task is to screen enemies and deal with those who have fallen behind, the second layer is the star martial artists on and off the stage, the third layer is the old-school experts who hide their identities, and the last layer is the town guard itself.

Such a complex arrangement is to make the martial arts tournament seem to go smoothly before the demon defilements on a large scale, and secondly, considering that someone in the opponent can control the martial artist in an instant, it is difficult to be foolproof only by screening the entrances and exits.

And as the holder of the hunting license, he was naturally put into the third line of defense - in fact, he was responsible for monitoring not only the suspicious characters in the arena, but also the martial artists who participated.

Although Roland was a little sorry for not being able to get a new clue about the Fallen Demon's hiding place, he didn't have a better way for a while. Setting up a trap and waiting for the other party to crash in is already the most feasible method at present.

After all, he knows a little better than the association.

The Fallen are not simply attracted to the "forces of nature".

What drives them is the will of the gods. Their ultimate goal is to destroy the dream world and return all magic to the realm of consciousness.

Therefore, if you have the opportunity to get so many cores at once, the enemy should not let it go easily.

As he reached the corner of the hallway, a woman's figure suddenly appeared in front of Roland.

He suddenly felt his scalp tighten, who the other party was, but the person he didn't want to bump into at the moment.

The genius martial artist of the association, Fei Yuhan.

"Ah...... It's you. She seemed to notice Roland as well, and looked up.

There were only the two of them in the empty hallway, and it would be too blunt to pretend not to see them at this time, so he cleared his throat and squeezed out a smile and replied, "Ahem, hello." ”

However, the other party's next sentence made his smile freeze on his face.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you properly for the last time. She took the initiative to reach out and said casually, "Thank you for taking out that weird monster and saving everyone from the crisis." ”

"Uh-" Roland didn't know what to reply for a while, and after a moment he reluctantly answered, "No, you're welcome......"

"It's a pity that the association has put all the credit on my head......" Fei Yuhan sighed lightly.

"No, no, no, that's fine," he quickly waved his hand, "actually...... I had to hide my identity for some special reasons, and the less people noticed me, the better. ”

"Alright then," the other party surprisingly didn't delve into it, but responded cheerfully, "Since you say so, then I'll take it as a gift." ”

Roland's heart swelled with surprise, why would Fei Yuhan accept this statement so calmly? If she still remembered everything that happened before she fell unconscious, then she would definitely not forget the voice of the spirit. can look at her attitude, it is clear that she wants to skip this matter.

Judging from the previous contacts and the comments he had heard, the other party was not a very arrogant person, and it could even be said that it was the complete opposite-like like all young geniuses, Fei Yu was arrogant and critical, and had extremely high requirements for himself and others, and his words were often filled with the chill of rejection thousands of miles away, and he was by no means a good-looking martial artist.

But now, the other party's performance is diametrically opposed to the image in his mind.

"By the way," Fei Yuhan asked casually, as if suddenly remembering something, "what types of encyclopedia do you think a history buff would like?"

Roland was stunned, "Why are you asking this?"

"Remember the last time we visited the survivor from the Kagard Peninsula?" she explained, "Miss Vakiris, she's now part of my team. Originally, I was worried that she would be too bored during her recuperation, but I didn't expect her interest to be reading—in the past month, she had almost flipped through the history books in the library. ”

You still worry about others? Roland twitched the corners of his mouth secretly, and was about to speak, when suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, causing the cold hairs behind his back to stand up! Wait, isn't the Vakiris, she said, the devil who seems to be familiar in the memory fragments?

In the past month, the other party has been reading books non-stop, and they are all history books?

“...... From start to finish?"

"Sort of, especially the history of war. Funny fetish, isn't it?"

Don't...... Is this just a coincidence? Roland's mind turned sharply, and the words that came to his lips were temporarily changed, "Indeed...... I think it's an encyclopedia of humanities and society. I'm sorry, but I still have the task assigned by the town guard, and I have to go now. ”

Although the topic was interrupted a little hastily, Fei Yuhan did not show any dissatisfaction.

"Me too. She nodded, "Goodbye, Mr. Roland." ”

"Ah...... Good bye. ”

After the other party turned to leave, Roland strode downstairs with his face sunk into the water.

......

The pace has become faster.

Fei Yuhan stopped and quietly listened to the footsteps that were gradually moving away.

This "solitary encounter" was not a coincidence, but the result of her deliberate timing.

To be honest, Roland had always been the most difficult of her speculations to be sure, he was different from Vakiris, and if it weren't for His Majesty, she wouldn't have found any flaws in the other party at all - for example, the last time he visited, he pulled out his phone three times a minute, his eyes would stay on beautiful women for an extra second or two, and he preferred Coke when choosing a drink...... Everything is no different from ordinary people in this era.

This also makes the idea of "another world" an inexplicable contradiction - since Vakiriss knew Roland, it means that they came from the same world, but why is there such a big difference between the two?

Therefore, this encounter is not only a goodwill to repay the other party, but also an attempt by Fei Yuhan.

The results were a big surprise.

Roland seems to be aware of the peculiarities of Vakiriss through her reminder, but the reaction is very different from what she expected. As a "partner" who is also from another world, if he wants to keep this matter hidden, he should quietly cover the past for Vakiris.

But the first thing the other party showed was strong vigilance, even more than when she mentioned the joint eradication operation.

Although Roland tried her best to disguise it, the beating of the muscles in the corners of her eyes was still clearly captured by her.

When it comes to controlling his expressions, he is clearly much worse than Vakiris.

It seems that this attempt is enough to be called very beneficial.

Since she decided to maintain this tacit understanding and continue to observe, the next interaction between the two will undoubtedly allow her to get more clues.

Fei Yuhan raised the corners of his mouth and knocked on the door of the town guard's office.

......

Roland returned to the Tube Building community and found Phyllis and Tong En as soon as possible.

"I need you to spy on a devil who could come from the memory fragments of the building's residents!"
