Nirvana 1198, August 20.

The Apocalypse Dragoon Academy is holding a grand gala.

The theme of the evening was naturally to celebrate the victory of the battle, as well as to welcome those returning contestants.

The evening was scheduled for the fiftieth day after the competition.

Because most of the contestants who returned at the beginning suffered very serious injuries and psychological shocks.

Some have suffered severe internal injuries and need to recuperate, while others have broken bones that need to be repaired. Others have lost part of their limbs and become disabled.

Among them are Zhang Zisheng and Lawrence.

The two people who came back recuperated at home for more than a month before gradually coming out of the house.

Zhang Zisheng lost his entire right arm. Lawrence lost his right eye and right hand.

At the party, which was brightly lit and staggered, the surviving students ate and drank to their heart's content, celebrating their own life and their graduation at the same time.

The evening was held in the open air on the huge playground of the Apocalypse Dragoon.

It wasn't just the surviving contestants who were in attendance. There are also some members of the Seven Kills Division and the Broken Army Division who participated in the battle, and some are relatives of the contestants. Of course, all are some rich and powerful relatives.

Zhang Zisheng and Lawrence sat leisurely at a dining table, their only remaining left hand holding a wine glass.

Turning his head to look at the crowd of revelers in the distance, Lawrence scoffed, "A bunch of mediocre people. ”

Zhang Zisheng sighed and said, "Don't say that. Those who can come back are not really mediocre. ”

"If it weren't for the last gathering of the Blades," Lawrence said halfway, pausing and taking a sip of his wine, not speaking.

"Torture blade? I've heard the name more than once. Although I have seen it once, I don't know much about it. A male voice came.

Zhang Zisheng turned his head and said, "Brother, you're late." ”

The person who came was Zhang Yuanshan, Zhang Zisheng's brother.

Zhang Yuanshan sat casually and said, "When we first met, it was very inconspicuous. But when he made a move, it was so terrifying and deadly. ”

Zhang Zisheng sighed, "That's nothing, really." ”

"Anyway, why didn't he come? I heard that he finally got the Apocalypse Psionic Crystal, and the Apocalypse Sanctuary plans to reward him. Zhang Yuanshan looked around and asked.

Lawrence turned his glass and said, "I heard that the injury is very bad, almost paralyzed. I'm still in the hospital. ”

Zhang Yuanshan said with a smile: "If you have a chance, you must meet you well." ”

"Of course you have a chance." Frani's voice came.

The three of them turned their heads to look, just in time to see the two siblings, Frankie and Yue, coming over. Beside them, followed by an expressionless, indifferent man.

"Oh! Frannie, long time no see. Zhang Yuanshan stepped forward enthusiastically.

While Zhang Yuanshan was talking to Frannie, Torture Blade tugged at the tie around his neck.

This feeling of restraint made him very uncomfortable.

"Looks like you're recovering well." Lawrence stepped forward and asked.

Tortureblade nodded silently, picked up a chocolate chip and chewed it in his mouth.

"Thank you for saving my brother." Zhang Yuanshan walked over at this time, stretched out his hand to look at the torture blade and said.

Torture Blade turned his head to look at Lannie, then reached out to hold Zhang Yuanshan's hand and said, "Although your brother is not strong, he is much stronger than those earth dogs, such as Sam." ”

Hearing such a straightforward metaphor of the torture blade, Zhang Yuanshan smiled faintly and said, "It's similar to the rumors, what you think, what you say, it's very straightforward." ”

"Okay, don't stand and talk, sit down and talk while eating." Zhang Zisheng took the lead in sitting down and said.

Tortureblade sat down and turned his head to look around at the bright lights, listening to the noisy conversation, and whispered, "Not bad." ”

"What's not bad?" Yuexia, who was sitting next to him, asked unexpectedly.

"This kind of environment is not bad, at least after killing people quietly, it is easy to leave."

When Yuexia heard this, he sighed helplessly. Everyone looked at each other and smiled faintly.

As soon as Frannie and Zhang Yuanshan said a few words, they were asked to leave and entered their circle.

At the huge table, the five of them sat together, eating and drinking, and talking about their future.

"The eldest brother said that his company was a little too busy, and it just so happened that I was also crippled and not suitable for fighting. It's not bad to help him. Zhang Yuanshan drank wine and indifferently announced that he was about to quit the ranks of soldiers and go to do business with Zhang Yuanshan.

Lawrence also nodded and said, "I'm about the same!" The direct place of the battlefield is not suitable for people like me, and I still like to calculate others in the shadows. ”

Yuexia and Yuelan were not surprised by the decision of the two. Yue Lan stood up and walked between the two, stretched out her hands and patted them on the shoulders and said, "If you two think this choice is the right one, I fully support you." ”

Yuexia also nodded and said, "It's okay, if you are on this kind of battlefield for a long time, people will not become abnormal." It's not bad to have one more way out. ”

Tortureblade showed little interest in their topic, bowing his head and eating the exquisite meat on the table, and did not speak.

"You two are definitely going to serve in the Seven Killings Division next. What about the Torture Blade? Lawrence asked.

Chewing and swallowing the contents of his mouth, Torture Blade said flatly, "Go to the Seven Kills." ”

"You're going too?" The two of them looked obviously surprised when they heard this.

Torture Blade nodded, and said lightly, "The hunt is not over yet. ”

"By the way, Torture Blade, do you have time tomorrow?" The four of them were already accustomed to this kind of speech of the torture blade, and Yuexia suddenly asked.

"Repair broken hunting weapons."

Yuexia was happy to hear it and said, "That's right, you go to the Astral Research Institute with me!" ”

"Astral Institute?" Tortureblade had heard of this place, but didn't know why he wanted to go.

Yue Lan explained on the side, "It's because of that flesh evolution potion. ”

Tortureblade didn't speak, looking at the two of them.

Tsukishita explained, "The physical evolution was a project that started 700 years ago, but it was put on hold due to the rapid development of the Reishu later. The potion you used was a product of the Astral Research Institute's "Divine Soldier" program twenty years ago. ”

"What is the Divine Soldier Project?"

"A project to advance the evolution of the human body. The ultimate goal is to make one's body as strong as one's soul. But then due to the conditions under which the human body evolved were too harsh and dangerous. It was aborted after fifty consecutive test soldiers exploded and died. ”

"When you were unconscious, Frannie approached the Astral Research Institute to treat you. And when the Astral Research Institute learned about the actual situation of your body, it suddenly thought of the remnants of the Divine Soldier Project. ”

Hearing this, Torture Blade stared sharply at the moon and said, "In other words, they tested me?" ”

Yuexia was uncomfortable when he was looked at by the torture blade, and he looked at him and said, "It's almost." But most of the time I can't think of any other way. Half of the muscles in your body have been gnawed off, and some places have even been completely necrotic. If you want to avoid amputation, medicine is your only hope. ”

Torture Blade lowered his head and squeezed his palm, saying, "I feel that my body is much stronger than before. ”

Yue Lan looked at the torture blade with envy and said, "Your body is too terrifying. I've heard Quest say that you can tear apart a soul statue with your body. This is unprecedented. ”

"Keep exercising, you can too."

Yue Lan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Forget it, my swordsmanship hasn't arrived home yet, so I don't have time to exercise." ”

Torture Blade turned his head and asked Yuexia, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"The medicine for you to inject is a semi-finished product, and in the original plan, it was to inject three potions." Under the moon said truthfully.

Tortureblade said with a blank face, "Do they want me to help them complete the experiment?" ”

Yuexia nodded, and then hurriedly added, "It's not gratuitous. The Astral Research Institute represents the highest level of technology in the Alliance. They've heard that you have special needs for some special weapons. If you promise them. They will customize the best weapons for you. ”

Tortureblade fell silent when he heard this.

Lawrence said calmly, "If you feel the danger, you can refuse, Sister Yue will not embarrass you." ”

"Yes! Sister Yue had already rejected them before, if it weren't for her father..." Zhang Zisheng was about to say, but was glared back by Yuexia.

Torture Blade didn't care about these things, and after thinking about it, he rattled the bones of a corbel and said flatly, "Yes." ”

Yuexia listened to the surprise on her face, and hurriedly asked carefully, "What do you need?" ”

"Your father wanted me like this, didn't he?" Torture Blade asked suddenly.

Yuexia nodded in embarrassment.

Torture Blade said bluntly, "Will he come tomorrow?" ”

"I think so, my grandfather originally proposed this plan."

"Well, I'll tell your father." After Torture Blade finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to eat.

The party went on and on, and it was getting more and more lively.

This party, almost all the nobles of the entire Apocalypse City were involved.

Everyone clearly knows that it is not the Apocalypse Dragoon Courtyard that is really holding this party, but the Apocalypse Sanctuary.

Of course, one didn't come.

The Baluca family, a family cemetery located in the west of the city.

In the dimly lit tomb, the primordial candlelight illuminated Sharu's face.

Beside him, there were Sparky and Hans with grief-stricken faces.

In front of the tombstone in the burial chamber is a beautiful woman who is crying.

Outside the cemetery, there is a large group of collateral relatives of the Baluca family.

These people all looked heavy, their heads bowed, and their eyes stared blankly at the gray ground.

Sharu's whole body trembled slightly, and the face under his beard was one of a twisted face that would give people nightmares when he saw it.

"Any clues?" Sharu struggled to keep his voice calm, and asked in a low voice.

Sparker wiped the tears from his eyes and replied, "I investigated all the people who came back, and also went to Apocalypse City to conduct a detailed investigation. A person who survived at that time said that there was indeed a man in a terrifying mask who killed all the younger brother's entourage, forcing the younger brother to be angry. When the younger brother was about to be killed, he was saved by Sui Mao and Harry. ”

"Who is that?" Sharu asked in a cold voice.

Hans continued, "This little brother has mentioned it before. He said he was targeted by hunters in the wilderness. I thought it would be safe to return to Apocalypse City, but I didn't expect..."

"Hunter!!" When Sharu heard this, he immediately clenched his fists, and his face was furious.

"Those damn lunatics haven't died yet!!"
