The ballistae of Twilight City are all heavy city defense equipment, and the crossbow arrows used are up to 4 meters long, as thick as a strong man's arm, and are specially designed to hunt super-large creatures.

In the entire Twilight City, I am afraid that only this kind of heavy ordnance can deal with the super-resilient Wolf.

The ballista was usually fixed on the city wall, and it was extremely cumbersome to dismantle, and one person could never remove it, so Paladin rushed to the city wall with a dozen soldiers, including Baisalugo.

On the way, Baixa asked, "Paladin, how are the civilians of the city?" Are you all hiding? ”

Paladin nodded: "Well, I have received the news and gone home, the streets are basically empty, and there are no casualties." ”

"It's good that there are no civilian casualties." Baixar breathed a sigh of relief.

Lugo scolded and said, "It's good that we didn't go to that banquet, we were all on duty outside, otherwise we would have been blown to ashes by visitors from all over the world." ”

Baiza's mouth opened and closed, and he quickly approached Paladin, looked a little hesitant, and lowered his voice and said, "Paladin..."

Paladin realized that Baiza had something to say, but was afraid of the large number of people around. After all, Lugo is an outsider, and the other soldiers are also the former Twilight forces, unlike the two of them, they are comrades-in-arms who have served together in Shilin Town for more than ten years.

Baixa winked at Baiza, and the two of them distanced themselves from the team.

Paladin walked ahead: "Say. ”

Baixa frowned and asked, "What do you think of this banquet explosion?" ”

Paladin shook his head: "What can you think?" I've never seen such a big explosion, this is definitely not the alchemy of our world, it must have been done by a visitor from outside the world. ”

Baiza's eyes were uncertain: "If the visitor wants to kill Chino, why is Chino fine, but the visitor with the black knife has burns on his body?" ”

Paladin didn't look back: "And then?" ”

"Don't you think that's weird? At the time of the explosion, Chino was not at the scene, but in a safe area of the square... Why is he there?! Baiza's body began to tremble unconsciously, as if remembering something terrible, "There is more than this strange thing. After the explosion, everyone and Chino went to the ruins to search for survivors, and all the people we found out died inexplicably, including Fick Troy, none of whom survived! ”

Paladin still didn't look back: "It's normal for such a big explosion to be seriously injured." ”

Baiza's face was so gloomy that it seemed to drip water: "No... I have examined the injuries of several people, and they are definitely not fatal, and there is absolutely room for rescue, so they will not die on the spot, but they just died suddenly! Do you see what I mean?! Someone killed them by some unseen method! And what are they talking about before they die... Death..."

Seeing that Paladin did not speak, Baixa continued: "I have noticed that when they say 'Death', their eyes are all looking at Chino, don't you think all this..."

"Shut up!" Paladin finally turned back and slammed into Baiza, and by the torch, he could clearly see that Paladin's face was pale, not even a trace of blood on his lips, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

Paladin grabbed Baiza's arm hard and pulled him farther away, his eyes looking terrified like hiding from the prey of a wild beast: "Do you think I'm a fool? I found out that something was wrong with Chino before all of you, and from the moment I found out that the salt crystal of the Mirlo caravan was very abnormal! ”

"That kind of cold and efficient thinking, the killing skills that can't be seen by the naked eye, the extremely deep way of speaking in the city, so many moon coins of unknown origin, and the extraordinary power that inexplicably appeared on him... There are also visitors from outside the sky, who have disappeared for 2,700 years, but suddenly appear frequently recently, and they all aim at Chino... You think I haven't thought about that?! ”

"I'll tell you straight, that man isn't Chino van Helsing at all! The scrap wood before has already been dropped! It's just that he keeps his original appearance, but it's actually another person in his body! ”

Baiza's face turned pale in an instant: "You mean, the explosion of the executive mansion was really planned by him, and those survivors were also killed by him, in order to cover up..."

Paladin violently covered Baiza's mouth to prevent him from continuing, and his voice was cold: "Listen, I don't care what you see, I don't care what you think in your heart, I want you to hide it in your stomach, as if you never noticed!" Never, ever tell anyone about this, never tell Lugo, don't tell me, and don't ask Chino questions! ”

Baixa subconsciously pushed Paladin's hand away, clenched his teeth tightly, and his voice trembled a little: "But so many innocent people are dead... They obviously didn't do anything wrong... For example, the maid named Bai Zhi, what did she do wrong? Why did you die so sadly when you didn't do anything wrong?! What's even more ridiculous is that she still protects what Chino likes to eat before she dies... I can't turn a blind eye to this cruelty! ”

"Brother, I know that you are a person with a great sense of justice, but you listen to my advice and live smarter. Your ideal is to punish evil and promote good, which is fine, but you can only do this when you are alive, and when you die, you have nothing, you know? Paladin subconsciously glanced in the direction of the mansion and asked in a deep voice, "Besides, is Chino bad for you?" ”

Baixa was silent for a moment, bowed his head and said, "He is very good to me... I am where I am today because of his grace..."

Paladin slapped Baiza on the head, as if to wake him up: "Isn't that right?!" Eat, drink, and don't worry about things you shouldn't care. I'd say the smartest of us was Lugo, his heartless, simple-minded loyal dog who was Chino's favorite type. ”

Baixa clenched his fists: "But those innocent who died..."

"What can you do?" Paladin interrupted him directly, "Are you stronger than Chino and can knock him over with one punch?" Or is the status higher than him, the power is greater than him? ”

Baixa was speechless.

Paladin looked at him solemnly: "Baiza, you must remember one thing, Chino brought us out of Shilin Town, this is an opportunity, but also a kind of imprisonment. He changed our humble origins, but at the same time, our destiny was tied to Him. ”

"He is supported by his superiors, and you and I will follow suit; If he falls, you and I, as his confidants, will definitely be implicated and liquidated! Therefore, we can only share glory and disgrace with him, advance and retreat together, and there is no second choice. ”

Baixa was silent, the complicated look in his eyes slowly disappearing... No, it's not so much disappearing as it is hiding, and whether it will reappear later is another unknown.

Paladin admonished, "Listen, that's the end of the conversation. If someone comes to investigate this matter in the future, no matter who asks you, you will bite it to death - the explosion of the banquet was done by a visitor from outside the world, and Chino has nothing to do with it, and we have tried our best to save anyone. ”

Baixa closed his eyes and nodded silently.

Suddenly, he realized something: "Wait... In Chino's plan, there could be no survivors of this banquet, so..."

"Hmm," Paladin's eyes became eerie, "that's why I'm using the ballista." ”
