What is Trust?

Trust comes at a price.

Most trust is built on secrecy – the other person only sees the shining side of you, not the side you don't want to be seen.

If your secret is unreservedly exposed to others, the trust that was once built on the secret will also quietly collapse, and you will become another complete stranger in the eyes of the other person.

Now, Jack has revealed a secret that must not be known to outsiders, but Chino can't do anything, he can't attack Jack, otherwise he will only be understood as annoyed and angry, he can only stand silently in place, surrounded by all kinds of eyes, the power of words seems so pale in him, as if he has lost all the meaning of existence.

At this moment, in the soul cage of the black fire, Jack's "prophecy" was staged.

Starting from the legs and feet, Jack's body began to burn, which is different from the previous "burning out of the sparks" of visitors from the sky, this is another way... It can even be said to be burning in the true sense of the word.

Jack seemed to have become a picture scroll that had been set on fire, and the burning place on his body no longer disappeared into the sky as light particles, but into some kind of black evil substance, and every time it burned, thousands of pieces floated in the air, swept and rolled by the wind, forming an impenetrable black curtain that swallowed up all the light.

This is the price of being obliterated, and the individual existence will disappear forever, and will not even be engraved in the "Memorial Monument for the Dead" like the reincarnation who died in battle, and there will be no trace of any existence in this world except for the memories in the minds of others.

But for Jack, this erasure is not despairing, her past life has already carved a strong mark on history, whether it is hundreds or thousands of years... When the world mentions the foggy capital of the 19th century, the name "Jack the Ripper" will be indispensable, and the fear she brings will appear in the pen of the literati, engraved in the printed book, and forever rooted in the minds of the world.

The same is true in this world, what if you don't complete the invasion mission? And what about being obliterated by the cube? She spreads terror into the world, shattering relationships and creating a situation for her prey that is even more terrible than death - no one can be trusted.

A life that foresees the outcome and has no surprises ends like a game.

Death is nothing more than a return to square one.

The evil and filthy black fire burned brightly, and the ashes burned from Jack's body covered the sky and the moon, and everywhere, one can't help but wonder if if a few pieces of ash were inhaled between breaths, they would remain in the body forever like parasitic poisonous insects...

Jack's wild laughter, like her body, was already withering in the flames, and when the last remnants of her head also turned to ashes, her final farewell words sounded in the air: "Have a good time, future life~"

The moment Jack was burned, the evil black fire was extinguished in an instant, and all the ashes that permeated the surroundings disappeared as if they had never appeared, and the sunlight of the dome fell on everyone again.

The scorching sunshine of the red lotus season is as cold as a cold snap...

Chino remained silent, doing nothing, and not being able to do anything.

Originally, he still had a slim chance of turning the tables, and he could rely on words to break Jack's disclosure.

But when Jack is really erased, as she had "prophesied", the words become meaningless, and the last hope is gone.

The power of words, sometimes pale.

People subjectively identify with what is happening in front of them and do not want to believe in listening.

What you see is the truth.

For some reason, the first thing Chino thinks about now is not how to break the "truth" that Jack said, nor is it to justify himself, but to see how Solandelle reacts.

Reason? No, there seems to be no definite reason, just like he was slandered as the assassin of Burton, and instead of running away, he went to Solandelle's room in the middle of the night to see her reaction.

It is as irrepressible as the most instinctive impulse.

So, Chino looked over.

Solandelle stood there, covering her mouth so hard that she didn't even know that her nails had scratched her face, her eyes filled with panic, helplessness, despair... Looking at Chino's eyes, it's like looking at something horrible that can't be understood.

When Chino cast his gaze, Solandelle stepped back in horror as if facing evil, and distanced herself from him, tears flowing out like pearls of broken threads, flowing down the back of her palms to her wrists, wetting the "thread" that Chino had given her...

Chino was still silently watching her, and for some reason, a blank smile appeared on his face.

Solandelle was stunned, she saw Chino smiling, her vision wandered for a moment, and then she suddenly caught a glimpse of the red string on her wrist.

At this moment, memories of the past came to her face, and the young princess suddenly remembered a lot of pictures...

The first sight of the first encounter appeared in front of me, and the ears echoed with tenderness "To the Little Princess", the red rope symbolizes protection, the vast moonlight is as gentle as water, and the letter reads-

No matter where you are, Solandel is forever under the moon; No matter where you want to go, Doguland is still home.

The memories of the past were like fireworks in front of her eyes, and Solandelle suddenly woke up like a dream, looking at Chino in confusion...

However, her gaze was not answered because it was blocked.

Seeing Chino staring at Solandale, Ray Sakhar shielded her behind him with his body and said in a deep voice, "Your Royal Highness Princess, please stand back." ”

At the same time, a figure came up behind Chino.

Chino didn't need to look back, just by the irresistible oppressive momentum, he knew that it was Edward Troy in the realm of the 6th sequence "Curser".

Edward stretched out his hand to put his hand on Chino's shoulder, but he didn't use any force, but he still revealed unshakable strength: "Don't make any moves, don't move, it's for your good." ”

At the same time, the soul magician who had trapped Jack with the spell did not move and changed direction, and in the increasingly terrible screams of the soul slaves, the dark and treacherous soul energy began to wrap around Chino's body, like a poisonous snake spitting letters.

The transcendents of the Trojan family have all been beastified, and the beast's pupils emit a fierce red light, which surrounds Chino in layers like hunting prey.

The guards present also lit up the Divine Seal, and the golden fire was lit around them, serving side by side with the plague beasts, eyeing them closely.

With just one breath, Chino fell from his former status to a public enemy of the kingdom...

...

On the 22nd day of the Red Lotus in the year 513 of the Huoyao calendar, the fifth group of visitors from outside the sky died, but it also involved a terrifying thing - the administrator of Twilight City in the Beacon Province, Chino Van Helsing, turned out to be a visitor from outside the sky.

In the 513th year after the founding of the country, a huge haze quietly descended on Dogulander, enveloping this ancient country, and the undercurrents of various forces surged, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood and rain.

The long-hidden mad ambition, the deep and desolate tragedy, the thousand-year-old darkness that has been dormant in antiquity... When the torrent of the times advances, it will bring everything up and push history forward.

And when the tide swells and falls, no one will be spared from all those who are coerced.
