The scene of the crime can only be described as tragic. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

By the time Fried arrived at the scene, the battle was over. In the scarred park, more than a dozen staff members were standing, some holding testing equipment to check the ground for burning, while others had walked into a grove that had been burned to ashes, as if looking for something.

Among them, two staff members crouched next to a corpse, and the two staff members hurriedly made a military attack on their superiors after seeing Fried. After crouching down, Fried focused his gaze on the corpse in front of him.

"Tsk, it's really heavy."

The place where the zài was supposed to be stored in the right hand is now empty, and judging by the wound, it seems to have been burned. In addition, the neck has the same signs of burning.

I guess I burned my arm first, so that it lost the ability to resist. The fatal blow is the one in the head. After all, compared to a broken arm, if the whole head is gone, it basically means that it is over.

"What about this guy's hands and head?"

"I haven't found it yet."

One only has to look at the grove that has now been reduced to ashes to make such a judgment. It's just that I didn't expect that the guy who escaped during the escort before would actually see it here now, and it was the result of such a dead body.

"Besides, Captain, there's a strange thing to report."

"Huh?"

The man who had just been promoted to captain for his merits looked at his subordinates.

"I don't know why. No fluctuations in wing energy were detected at the scene. Although it was once suspected that there was a problem with the instrument......"

"Ahh You don't need to delve into this. ”

"Huh?"

"In addition, this matter has also been classified as Nika's second-level secret, and it will be notified later, and it is forbidden to leak relevant information."

"Uh, no!"

The subordinates' eyes widened in surprise, but they soon realized their gaffe, and after giving a military salute, they said "Obey!" Then he left to deliver the order.

(That's an exaggeration.) However, even this kind of martial artist who still can't figure out his strength has to be used, which means that the city has already endangered this kind of Cheng Dù? ）

Didn't look at the mutilated corpse again. The muscular man stood up and took out his communicator as he walked in the direction of the park's exit.

……………………

After finally regaining consciousness, Art found himself lying on the bed.

The blood-stained clothing had been changed during the coma, and several heavy bandages could be felt on the wound. However, to his surprise, the wound was not as bad as expected, and it seemed that he had been treated while he was in a coma.

Although reason tells me that this is reality, but there is no real feeling.

I remember that I was defeated and fell in a pool of blood, and then the Sakura-haired girl, whom I had just met, stepped forward to protect him and Theresa, and then ......

At this moment, a trace of movement came to the young man's ears.

The sound came from the side of the bed, and the girl who made the noise was lying on the hospital bed at this time, and it seemed that she had not slept well last night. Look at my sister's pretty sleeping face. Art breathed a sigh of relief, and then lay back on the hospital bed.

Looking around, it seems to be a single room. There was also a chair on the other side of the bed, but there was no one sitting on the chair right now, so I guess I was leaving for the time being.

The scene at that time is now all recalled.

It was obviously a murderer who easily pushed himself into a corner, but at that moment he was killed so simply, it was as simple as pinching an ant to death. The pale blue flame made him feel a strong sense of oppression. Although there is magic such as the "Red Lotus" in Roland, it is completely incomparable to the one I saw yesterday.

The grades are completely different. This was what Art really felt at the time.

I don't know how much it will cost, but the cash-strapped orphanage can't afford to pay the high cost of hospitalization in a single room.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work.

Even if he tried his best to cultivate, but now that he can't use magic, he can only rely on physical skills, he is simply a weak person.

"Art?"

The sound of the door opening was followed by the voice of a young girl. Art looked at the door and saw that the girl was looking at her.

Probably because there is no good rest. The girl was very depressed first. However, this feeling quickly faded after seeing Art wake up. Then the feet subconsciously took a step, and walking turned into running again, and continued to accelerate.

Before the boy lying on the bed had time to comfort the other party, the girl had already pounced on him.

"Wow——!"

"Uh, don't cry, look, didn't I wake up?"

Holding back the pain from the hug, Art said with a smile. Of course, the younger sister who was sleeping next to the bed woke up because of the commotion, and after seeing her brother wake up, she also rushed over and hugged her brother who was lying on the hospital bed.

Hugging with all his might, it's like I'm afraid he'll disappear if I let go.

"Stupid, Yat, why did you rush over like that. It's obviously not strong at all, don't be reckless and run away soon, okay? ”

There was anger in the words, but it wasn't directed at Art.

Along with anger comes self-blame.

Deep self-reproach.

"Why do you always have to mess around like this! It's just a mere art, it's too self-righteous! What are you going to do if Brother Yue doesn't arrive in the end? Are you going to die like this? ”

Theresa stopped suddenly, her little shoulders trembling, biting her lip, her body motionless.

Only tears kept falling, wetting Art's shirt.

Probably, I really scared her out.

is obviously so weak, and the hero stands in front of her. It was simply defeated. Well now. Now that she is lying on the hospital bed, what words can you use to comfort her?

So, Art didn't know what to say.

"Art?"

"Anyway, can you let me go first?"

"Wow! Right...... I'm sorry! ”

If you hold it any longer, the wound will probably burst open. So Theresa and May hurriedly let go of their hands, freeing Art from the situation of hugging left and right.

Fortunately, the wound still feels painful. I remember that the teacher once said that in this case, the wound is different and the injury is more serious, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Although I don't know the specific treatment, the wound under the bandage, which was originally deep to the bone, is indeed healing quickly. So it seems. I guess I'll be able to get out of bed and move in a day or two.

"By the way, Theresa, what happened after that?"

“……”

"Theresa?"

A feeling of uneasiness welled up in my heart.

"After Art fainted, the men of the army arrived. And then he put Art in this hospital......"

"So. Brother Yue, he ......"

Even though he had already anticipated what would happen next, Art asked in a low voice.

“…… Taken away by the people of the army. ”

This is also a natural result.

It caused such a commotion in the city, and it was impossible to just leave the city in a low-key manner. And from another point of view, if the army hadn't arrived at that time, then he would have died like this.

Maybe he can survive until now, thanks to the intervention of the army.

That being said.

But he didn't want to accept this result like this, because it was because of his intervention that there would be a result that was not bad now.

"No...... It's going to be fine, didn't the adults in the army still want to invite Brother Yue to join? So...... So ......"

Although even Theresa, who said these words, did not have much faith in herself. But it does make sense.

Definitely, it won't be handled like a normal homicide.

Because he wants to win over Brother Yue, he shouldn't have to worry about the death penalty.

It's just that, as the price of taking his life-

As if the timing had been right, Art heard footsteps coming from the hallway outside the door. I don't know the exact time, but it's quiet. Therefore, the sound of approaching footsteps is also particularly noticeable.

Then, the door was opened.

Standing there was a cherry blossom-haired girl holding a basket.

"Well, I brought lunch."

The girl known as Haruka walks into the hospital room. Then he smiled and said to the three people who were in the ward.

“……”

His face couldn't help but turn red.

Obviously, there should be something else to say now, but there is no way to form a good discourse. It always felt like the angelic smile had already dispelled it before he could say it.

Unaware of Art's unusual appearance, Haruka closed the door after putting down the basket. Theresa, who was sitting next to her, muttered "idiot, stupid......" while showing a puffed out expression.

Are older brother and Theresa dating?

"Huh? Why all of a sudden? ”

Art gave a surprised expression, thinking of what Theresa had said to herself.

Although the two of them are not dating. However, it is precisely because they are not dating......

Heard at that time. But is it a confession?

"Thing...... What are you still talking about? ”

Theresa, who was also blushing, turned around and said.

"That's just casual talk."

"Huh? Is that so? ”

"Yes, that's it. Speaking of which, how could I possibly like this guy who blushes at the sight of a beautiful girl? ”

"Well, I'm sorry, I was mistaken before."

“……”

Turning to look at Art, who had answered like this, Theresa's shoulders trembled slightly.

It's different from the trembling that I wanted to hold back from crying just now.

By the way, the girl's pink fist hit the boy's head hard about half a minute later. (To be continued......)
