Regardless, No. 2 is also No. 2 of Roses.

Despite preferring head-to-head confrontation to fusing the abilities that Gift brings, he is Rossos' No. 2, so he is responsible for Roses' interests. He had already let Rheines go because of his personal preferences before, and this time he must not be stubborn and inflexible, especially now that his men have shown obvious defeat, and he cannot let himself go recklessly.

Therefore, when the weapons met again, he suddenly increased the strength of his long knife, and after knocking Reins back a few meters away, he quickly retreated some distance and gathered back his men.

"No. 2 also uses his brain, it seems that Roseos still attaches great importance to education in this area, right?"

Number 2's one-off burst didn't hurt Reins, and she had to take a few steps back to soften herself in place. Pat and Filly found themselves out of their target and returned to Rhine's side.

Number 2 didn't manage to hide his sneering anger at Reins, and despite his efforts, his hands shook violently.

"Is that how you escaped from Roses, Number 4?"

Reines raised an eyebrow, slightly dissatisfied with what he had said.

"Escape? I don't think the word is appropriate, number 2. You know, after I wiped out all the lifeforms of that branch, I walked out of there with my Filis. And unfortunately, I wasn't good at words at the time, so I couldn't say anything goodbye to Mayvotos before he died for the first time - though he didn't need to. ”

Number 2 looked even angrier, his hand reaching for the mask on his face, and Reins lunging forward with his scythe raised, interrupting him with force and a malicious grin.

"By the way, I almost forgot, you ...... It seems that he really treats Roseos as his own home. ”

Let her think about it, what was the situation of No. 2 at that time?

It seems to be - some kind of deep hatred, and then he was rescued by Rossos before he was killed, and Roseos also eliminated his enemies, right?

Then because of this incident, No. 2 became desperate for Rossos, and even if he fused the "gift" he hated the most, he never had any resentment towards Rossos.

In the eyes of No. 2, a person like her who was picked up and raised by Roses, but ungrateful betrayed Roses, is not even as good as a scumbag, right?

However, does what Number 2 thinks of her have anything to do with her?

Of course not.

"If you don't have enough intelligence, it's really distressing, are you right, No. 2."

The scythe and the long knife collided violently again, and Number 2 glared at Reins with a hideous face, but the latter had no fear at all, and even spoke to him lightly.

"After all...... If you don't have an excellent thinking ability, you can't even tell who your real enemy is, so you can only be like fool No. 2, who has recognized the thief as his father for so many years, and has helped his enemies kill people everywhere. ”

Reins's tone grew more and more fierce with the words, and gradually increased the force she had put on the scythe, and she could clearly see the gray eyes of Number 2 shrink violently at her words.

"Don't talk nonsense there, Number 4!"

Although he retorted, No. 2 was already affected by the words, and at the moment when he shook his mind and the pressure on the weapon was slightly reduced, Reins suddenly withdrew the strength on the scythe, and before No. 2 could react when he fell forward due to inertia, he stabbed No. 2 in the abdomen with the tail of the scythe.

Oh, didn't she mention it before? Her scythe tail is not just a sharp blade, it also has a bit of toxin on it that can destroy the body's recovery function, which is useless for a person like Mayvotos whose body is not alive in the first place, but it is very useful for No. 2, who is rotten to the bone but still belongs to the category of living beings.

This time, no matter how sharp No. 2's reaction was, there was no way to dodge this stab. He clutched his wound and jumped backwards for some distance, the expression on his face cloudy. Reins hung the sickle to the ground with a good moment, and even reached behind her neck with considerable ease, brushing her hair.

"Let me guess what you're thinking right now, Number 2? You must be thinking......"

Reines was smiling much more than Smofa at the moment, and the malice in that smile made Number 2 want to smash it hard, but unfortunately he couldn't.

"'Number 4 is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, and in order to shake me up about Roses, she must be telling lies.' Reins deliberately lowered her voice, mimicking the hoarse and unpleasant voice of Number 2, "'But I am also very aware of what I have done for Rossos over the years, and that it is entirely possible and willing for Rossos to deliberately create a false enemy in order to win over a person. ’”

"—right?"

The silver-haired mercenary finally regained her pleasant, crisp voice, but it sounded more terrifying to 2 than a demon.

Looking at No. 2's anger mixed with imperceptible wavering, and the wound in her abdomen that made her unable to move for a moment, Reine's eyes became colder and colder, although she was smiling on her face.

Number 2 wanted to take off his mask just now, and as the former "Number 4", she naturally knew what would happen after the mask was removed.

That mask has the ability to suppress the "gifts" on No. 2's body, and if the mask is peeled off, the disease and calamity will spread uncontrollably, and the threat that can emanate from No. 2's body is far stronger than that of his "crows".

In order to interrupt his behavior, she had to say some specious words to guide him to waver. It wasn't very difficult, as she repeatedly emphasized, Number 2 wasn't always very good at thinking about these curved things, and compared to Lillian, who was also not good at thinking, he was obviously much less loyal than the more straightforward woman.

At least Lilian, when she didn't know anything, would first eliminate the enemy in front of her for Fili, and then go home and pull her by the collar to ask if the words the enemy used to confuse her were true or false.

No. 2 was co-opted by Rossos because of his family's hatred, but he was never overwhelmed by the ability of Roses' organization itself, and once he thought that Roses was the real enemy, he turned all the grievances he had received for Roses over the years into his anger and turned his guns on Roses.

However, she didn't want to do anything to convert No. 2 into her companion, not to mention that his abilities were too dangerous, and with this kind of mind and loyalty, she would rather face the whole of Rossos herself than let No. 2 become a comrade-in-arms.

The purpose of saying those words was to shake Two, so that he would not take off the mask so easily—that unrestrained release of power would also be extremely harmful to Two himself, he would be corrupted by the disease, and he would be shaken when he realized that Roses was not so worthy of his dedication.

The consequences of being eroded by disease will be the same as those of his "crows", which is why they all wear wide black robes. The Ravens do not have the same excellent ability to control the diseases caused by the Gift as 2, resulting in their short lifespan.

As for whether Roses is No. 2's enemy or not, how could she possibly know about this?

Even if she could check the events of the year through the time-going spell, first, that thing was more than ten years ago, and it would consume her magic power, and secondly, it would be ...... No. 2 has never had a good relationship with her, so why did she bother to help No. 2 find out the truth?

“…… So what, number 4? ”

Number 2's roar sounded with some difficulty, and the wound in his abdomen seemed to affect him a little more than he thought, but he still insisted on showing his dignity.

"Regardless of Rossos for now - now that you've injured me and cost me my men, it has nothing to do with anyone else, right?!"

Reins raised an eyebrow and whistled lightly, seemingly unconcerned if she could make No. 2's anger even bigger.

"That's good, No. 2, my brain is spinning pretty fast." Reins even smiled and narrowed her eyes, "But, the first half of the reason is okay, and the second half is okay, right?" If you really think of your 'crows' as your subordinates, you won't co-opt them for your own use in the way that you can spread the disease directly to them. ”

Without waiting for No. 2 to answer, Reins appeared in front of No. 2 at a speed that was too fast to be seen by the naked eye, her right hand holding the scythe high, and the cold killing intent in her eyes even made No. 2 subconsciously clench his fists.

"Someone like you...... No matter how tragic the past is, it is completely unworthy of sympathy. ”

The wound in No. 2's abdomen seemed to slow his movements, and despite his best efforts to leap backwards, the scythe still left a long wound on his body that ran from his shoulder to his leg.

The blood, which was so dark red that it was even a little blackened, was left behind his body, and Pat alertly brought the cup that Smoker had brought to their vicinity, and the black gas, which had almost stopped growing, came alive again, and grew in volume at a much faster rate than before.

"What a pitiful little one, No. 2. Although you have always done your best for Roseos...... But your body has been eroded by the disease and the blood is about to coagulate. ”

Number 2 has been reluctant to use that ability, and he has always restrained the agitation of the disease even though he has a mask, so his body should not have been eroded.

The only explanation is that Rossos did not believe in his loyalty, so he forcibly implanted the disease in his body.

No. 2 staggered back a few steps before finally falling to his knees in reluctance. No matter how difficult it was for his mind to turn, he could still figure it out.

"Roses ......"

Number 2's tone was filled with deep hatred, a nostalgia that perhaps even he couldn't tell.
