Dressed in a silver mask, a black cloak, and a golden claw, the man silently appeared in a corner of the cemetery in the middle of the night, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

He stared straight ahead and took a steady step.

In the afternoon, there are many people here to confirm the status of the tombstones of relatives and friends. What's more, Camelot and Oberisk are left with multiple eyeliners watching.

It was only in the dead of night that he could act, and he had only one purpose, and that was to recover the Seven Killing Stones. Originally, I didn't mean to do that, but since no one picked it up, it would be a pity if I left it alone, and this interesting prop was buried.

It was with this whim in mind that the man stopped in front of the crystal with seven purple ghost fires that was lying quietly on the lawn.

He slowly bent down and slowly stretched out his right hand towards the crystal. However, just before his fingers were about to touch the crystal, a mutation suddenly occurred.

A cold light flashed, and a flying knife was stuck between his fingertips and the crystal.

So, the man changed his goal. He drew his flying knife and straightened up as he looked at it. The knives have no patterns or logos, and they are clearly store-bought.

After coming to the conclusion, the throwing knife also happened to shatter into light chips.

Immediately, the man turned to look in the direction where the knife was fired. At some distance, he saw two figures. A boy in a fiery red coat and a girl in light blue armor - Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain.

They used invisibility magic to stay motionless here for quite some time, and finally met the mastermind.

All the victims in this "murder in the city", as well as a series of riots, are all because of this man who used a silver mask to cover his true face.

Thinking like this, Li Mengxi showed sharp eyes, and the man in the silver mask did not dodge, and the two of them met and rubbed sparks when they looked at each other.

Looking at the other party like this, Li Mengxi also pulled out a red sword from his waist, revealing obvious hostility.

"The men of Camelot and Oberisk are coming, and you have nowhere to run. ”

Hearing this, the man in the silver mask did not panic, but smiled with the corners of his mouth curled.

"Why, you know of my existence?"

"Since you don't understand, then I might as well tell you. ”

Saying that, Li Mengxi also added a sentence in his heart: You can delay time anyway.

"First of all, the letterhead and the list left behind by Seijn Bach, the handwriting on these two things is messy and neat. Earlier, I thought it was because Seysin Bach was in a different state of mind when he wrote. However, this is not the case, the handwriting on the letter paper is indeed sloppy, but if you look closely at it a few times, it is not difficult to see that the angle of inclination of each word is the same. This kind of accuracy is not something that can be written in a momentary state of mind, but it takes years of habit to accumulate. Therefore, the handwriting on the letter paper is the real handwriting of Seys-Bach. The words in the notebook, although similar in the length of the strokes and the subtle details, are actually the handwriting of another person. Imitating a person's handwriting to the point of vividness is not something that Adele Thomas and Landon Alain can do. Therefore, I judge that there is a person who deliberately induces us to investigate the direction of existence. ”

"Uh......-huh," he groaned, and the silver-masked man nodded, "I didn't expect that guy's handwriting to be very poor in the first place, but it was really my mistake." ”

"Secondly......" Li Mengxi continued, "I shot a flying sword at Langdon Alan at the end of my fight with him, but it missed. This was impossible, not to mention that distance, even if it was two hundred meters longer, I would never have missed! ”

This statement sounds a bit arrogant at first glance, and the man in the silver mask can't help but be surprised, but if the inference from this is correct, it is a different matter.

"Pushback based on self-confidence. It's not pride but self-knowledge, and I'm really impressed!"

"In the end, ......" Li Mengxi ignored the other party's praise, and his voice was still cold, "It's too coincidental." Adele and the others have a total of eight people, which just meets the requirements of the Seven Killing Stones, and they also have the reason and determination to use the Seven Killing Stones. With a total of about 10,000 players, it is a small probability that the Seven Killing Stones will fall into the hands of Adele. Unless, unless, someone deliberately chooses them. These are the reasons why I suspect that you are the number one person behind it. That's why I'm betting that leaving the Seven Killing Stones here can lead you to show up!"

"Smack, smack, smack, smack......"

After hearing this, the man in the silver mask applauded.

"The flaws I think have revealed are already very weak, and it is beautiful that you can deduce the existence of my character from such trivial things. As a tribute, I'm telling you something you don't know. ”

Looking at the disgusting smile of the other party, Li Mengxi asked cautiously, "What?"

"When you visited Timon Roentgen for the second time, did you ever think that he had done something to leave home for three days without returning? ”

Hearing this, Li Mengxi showed a look of surprise, and then became angry.

"Could it be that that's a good thing you did?"

"Not bad. It was I who stopped him for three days. As for the reason, you should understand it by now. ”

"If I had seen Tymon Röntgen right away at that time, I would have stopped Adèle in time! there would have been no more victims, and there would have been no more commotion today!"

"It's a good thing, but it's not what I wanted. ”

"You bastard!" Hearing the current Hinata Nayin quietly on the side, she finally shouted angrily at this time, and she drew her thin sword and pointed it at the man in the silver mask. "Why! Why do you do this!"

"Because I want to see, the good and the evil in human nature, those shining points of human beings. The silver-masked man said in a deep voice, "Have you ever been to the Middle East?"

After asking, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Of course I haven't been, and even if I go there now, I won't be able to see what I once saw. ”

This man is probably talking about the war in the Middle East. Thinking like this, Li Mengxi asked tentatively, "What did you see, what?"

"The hell of blood and fire, the hell after the annihilation of humanity. Where there is no humanity, both good and evil are so distinct, and they are more and more beautiful! The essence of human beings, the answers to those questions that have not been solved until now, are all in it!"

As he spoke, the silver-masked man's expression became excited, but it cooled down suddenly.

"However, with the expansion of the information world, this theater of human nature came to an abrupt end before I could see enough. So, I had to look for a replacement. But the real world is just too tepid. People have been away from the real fight for too long, and no matter how much they provoke and design, they always don't achieve the effect I want. As a last resort, I had to set my sights on somatosensory games, which, although virtual, at least had similarly intimate combat. But in the end, there is still no 'fighting'. And here, it's different. ”

"Game of Death. ”

"Yes! This is the world I've been seeking! When I realize that this place is becoming more and more real, how can you tell me to suppress the restlessness in my heart!"

"So you designed this 'Murder in the City'!" Li Mengxi yelled.

"No! It's a bit too much to say I'm designing. I've never been in charge of this, and at best it's just fueling the fire. There's only one thing I'm really involved in...... Just talk to the girl and give her the Seven Killing Stones. The culprit, in the final analysis, is Adele Thomas. If she could resist the temptation, nothing would have happened, and that's what makes humans so interesting. ”

At this time, this statement of the man with the silver mask couldn't help but make Hinata's body tremble slightly with anger.

This silver mask speaks of itself as if it were dispensable. How can this man say that! How can he be qualified to say this!

None of this guy would have happened without this guy, no one would have died, and there would have been no riots.

Gritting her teeth, Hinata Nain let out an angry roar: "Do you think that this way you can shirk the sins!"

As she spoke, she raised her sword with a force under her feet and charged at the man in the silver mask.

Seeing this, Li Mengxi also hurriedly followed her, completely forgetting the fact that this is also an absolutely safe zone.

Facing the cold-glowing blade that stabbed at the door of his face at a second speed, the silver-masked man waved his right hand with a smirk.

This action made Hinata Naine surprised for a moment, but she didn't see anything, so she didn't stop.

But at the same moment, Li Mengxi, who was following alongside, suddenly accelerated, and instantly crossed Hinata Nayin and made a 360-degree maneuver towards her. The sword-wielding right hand held her into his arms with his arm, and his left hand pinched straight ahead.

"That's what you missed my sword that day. Speaking in a cold voice, Li Mengxi pulled his left hand, revealing his thumb, index finger, ring finger, and what he was pinching in his three fingers.

At a very close distance, it seemed that she didn't see anything at first glance, and when she looked closely again, she was shocked to find that Li Mengxi was indeed holding something in her hand.

The thing was extremely slender, and a cold glow flashed faintly in the moonlight, and it was actually a silver needle that was not much thicker than a hair.

"You can get it all in this environment!"

The man in the silver mask exclaimed in surprise, and then laughed as if he had seen something interesting.

"Hahaha! No. 1 in all players, it really deserves its name. In terms of wisdom and courage, you are a good opponent. And I need an opponent. As a reward, I promise that in the future, I will never touch anyone who is related to you, how about it?"

"Hmph!" Li Mengxi laughed contemptuously, "Do I need your guarantee?"

"Hmph!" the man in the silver mask also laughed contemptuously, "There are more than 10,000 players who are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, don't think that you alone can defeat a hundred." ”

As if in response, a teleportation light flickered beside the silver-masked man.

Immediately, a tall and thin young man with long blond hair, a face as pale as a dead man, and eyes as sharp as knives appeared. He wears a tight-fitting combat suit dominated by a black coat and holds an unusually long knife in his left hand.

At first glance, the blade is nearly one meter long and the handle is half a meter long, and at first glance it looks like a Japanese sword, but the tip of the knife does not rise upwards, but hangs downward, and the blade is also wider, making it a horse chopping knife.

"Tell me about it. Just as Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain's eyes converged on the young man with the long knife, the voice of the man in the silver mask also sounded just right. "This is my subordinate, you can call him 'Jack the Ripper'. ”

The most notorious serial killer in London, England at the end of the 19th century. This is definitely not the real name of the young man with the long knife, but the person who uses this nickname is definitely not a good person either.

Thinking like this, Li Mengxi couldn't help but worry about Fujitang and the other helpers who were called. The fact that it was this person who appeared at the appointed time, not Fujido, already explains the problem to a certain extent.

"How are they?" So, Li Mengxi asked in a murderous voice.

"Don't worry, I just let Jack hurt them, and I didn't let him kill, that would be boring. Without further ado, do you still think I'm not qualified to assure you?"

Listening to the other party's words, Li Mengxi looked at "Jack the Ripper" and the man in the silver mask. Immediately, he let go of his right hand holding Naine Hinata and took a few steps forward to block her behind.

"Do you think one more of him will be able to beat me?"

"Well...... the man in the silver mask opened his mouth as if to answer, but suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I haven't declared my name yet." That's rude......"

As he spoke, he bowed.

"My real name is not worth mentioning, you can call me 'Moriarty'. ”

A bad premonition suddenly came to mind.

Moriarty, the biggest villain in the famous detective novel Sherlock Holmes series, is known as the "Napoleon of the criminal world". What exactly does this silver mask mean by this name as a nickname?

The important thing is, why did he not report himself until now?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mengxi hurriedly kicked the ground and rushed straight towards Jack and Moriarty. Although I don't know what it is, the other party must have a way to get out.

"We can't beat you, but you can't. As he spoke, the light effect of a line of incantations flashed on Moriarty's silver mask, and in an instant he and Jack's figures disappeared from view.

"Bang!" Li Mengxi slashed his sword into the ground with a loud bang, and then he quickly swung his sword left and right, but there was no real sense of slashing.

"Damn!" Knowing that the other party had fled quietly, Li Mengxi shouted very unwillingly and threw the sword in his hand at his feet angrily.

"Dream Creek. At this moment, Hinata Naon walked over with a worried look.

"I'm sorry. Hearing this, Li Mengxi looked over apologetically.

Seeing this, Hinata Naon shook her head. "It's not your fault. Compared to that, that weirdo is let's call him Moriarty, right?"

"Hmm. It is the villain created by Conan Doyle and is known as the 'Napoleon of the Criminal World'. ”

"Adele, remind me to be careful of him before he dies. That person just said that he wanted you to be his opponent, shouldn't he ......?"

Li Mengxi understood what Hinata Naine was worried about, and although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it. He looked at the cold moon with a melancholy mood.

"The 'Murders in the City' may be just the beginning for him. ”
