There was a light in the infinite darkness, and José walked there in silence, he tried to walk in the opposite direction of the light, but no matter where he went, the distance between himself and the light did not change at all, the master of the space was inviting him there.

From the first moment he entered this darkness, José found himself being dragged into the illusion of the Lord of Crime and Punishment. The King of Crime and Punishment is not truly resurrected, and José can feel that the level of magic on Pavic's body is not even comparable to that of Hodon, but this is the real king, so his invitation, Jose can't refuse.

He was now empty-handed, with the Black Book and the White Emperor's Sword nowhere to be found, but it also showed that the Lord of Crime and Punishment was now weak, and he would not allow anything that threatened him to appear in his realm.

Standing in front of the white light, José stopped, this is a door, the door is carved with many intricate patterns, Jose has seen similar carvings in the great museum of the Elven River, it is the style of human carving from a period before the cataclysm, the center of the carving is a scale, and on one side of the scale is a feather, which means judgment.

José didn't react, he calmly pushed the door open, the darkness disappeared, and he stood under a night sky, which was a small village from the perspective of the surroundings, and within the Iron Curtain, judging by the three moons in the sky.

He observed his own attire, which was the standard attire for Valhalla's low-level agents.

"Jose, are you alright?" someone put a hand on his shoulder.

José turned around and it was Gurunk Koch, Valhalla Special Agent, his first partner after becoming an agent, and he remembered that he was on his first mission as an agent.

Two months ago, some rebels attacked a warehouse near Research Institute 2 that stored samples of plague weapons that were still being studied at Research Institute, and although the attackers were repulsed, the storage room where the viruses were stored caught fire, and the samples of the plague were leaked. By searching the crystal of the laboratory's video logs, they discovered that a little girl had been seen near the warehouse on the night of the incident.

It is a very dangerous plague weapon, although it is still being studied, but its power cannot be underestimated, this plague spreads in a different way than the traditional way of transmission, after being improved by magic, each carrier of the plague is a huge bomb, when the infected's emotions reach a certain value, he will explode, and at the same time as the infected person dies, the spores carrying the pathogen will cover the surrounding area for several kilometers, turning everyone in the area into a new infected. Moreover, the Second Research Institute has not yet developed a corresponding antidote.

Tracing the identity of the little girl, they found the small village not very far from the warehouse.

They knocked on the door of the little girl's house, and there was a small crack in the door, and a woman was standing behind the crack in the door, and she looked at José and Cocchi warily, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, ma'am, we have come to your daughter. "Kochi behaved very politely.

"What daughter, I don't have a daughter!" replied the woman in no uncertain terms, and tried to close the door, but José grabbed the doorknob and forcibly pulled it open before she could do so.

The woman also fell to the ground, "You bastards, you are trespassing!"

José ignored her and stepped over her, the woman was not wrong, although this was a mission given to them by Valhalla, but due to the impact of the incident, the Second Research Institute did not want this matter to be recorded on the file, so no search warrant was issued to them.

"José. Cocci picked the woman up and caught up with him, whispering in his ear, "Jose, she's a demon, watch your attitude." ”

"She's the logistics staff of the warehouse. José pointed to the badge on the coffee table and said to Cocci, "That's why that little girl is there." ”

"Oh no. The woman hurried to the work card, but José took it before she could and put it in Kochi's hand.

"Confirmed infection, the infected person is on the second floor. José said to Cocch after using the detection magic given by the Second Research Institute, and walked straight to the second floor.

The woman hurriedly got in front of José, and she knelt in front of José, hugged José's retreat, and cried, "Oh no, please, she's just a child, and in a few days it's her seventh birthday, please." ”

"The epidemic must be controlled. Jose gave a calm look at Kochi, who looked a little embarrassed, "That being said. ”

The squeaks at the end of the stairs were opened, and a little girl in pajamas with a bear pattern leaned out of it, rubbing her eyes, and asking in a daze, "Mom, what's wrong?" ”

The little girl had pale blonde hair and beautiful sky-blue eyes, and the woman immediately hugged her tighter when she saw her, and she turned to Kochi for help, "Please, she has done nothing wrong!"

"Mother, what's wrong with you, who are they?" the little girl cried when she saw her mother crying.

"José, we might be able to isolate her. Kochi was a little unbearable.

"She could have an outbreak at any time, and addressing the source of infection now is the best option. José reached out to the little girl.

"We want to be cut off where no one is, no matter where it is, even if it's buried underground. As if grasping the last straw, the woman grabbed José's arm firmly, "Please!"

"We can't take any chances. ”

"If we call in reinforcements to set up teleportation, we'll be able to catch up. Coczy hoped to convince José, but he was unmoved, "José, I'm your commander, I order you to ......."

Syllable!

Before he could finish his sentence, the little girl exploded like a balloon, and blood splattered all over the room, and José slowly lowered his hand.

The woman was bloodied, and after a while she reacted, she trembled and said, "My daughter, my daughter!" She rushed up the stairs, trying to hug her daughter's body, but she could only see the fragments of her limbs on the ground, she trembled and pointed at José, with an extremely resentful expression on her face, "You butcher, I curse you, you will go to hell, you will not die well!"

José didn't feel any magic fluctuations in the woman's body, but he saw a looming black line floating from the woman's body after the woman cursed herself, José frowned, and lit it before the black line wrapped around him, and the invisible black line was unexpectedly flammable, and suddenly turned into a line of fire and rushed back to the woman, turning her into a pillar of fire at once.

"Jose, are you crazy?" Couch shouted.

José didn't pay much attention to his words, his mind was still immersed in the black line, the appearance of the black line was very unreasonable, in the face of Kochi's reprimand, he casually explained, "Valhalla Agent Code stipulates that in the event of an attack, the agent has the right to use a self-defense counterattack, and I will voluntarily accept the punishment for my excessive counterattack." ”

The unreasonableness of the black line finally made José realize something, he didn't pay attention to what Coch said, he turned around and pushed open the door and walked out, with his actions, countless cracks appeared in this world, the world began to crumble, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he returned to the ruins of the town.

The Black Book and the White Emperor's Sword were by his side, José looked around, the members of the pursuit team fell to the ground, and Pasarian fell beside him, clutching his severed right arm with a pained expression on his face, José tried to wake him up, but to no avail.

"It's useless, you can't wake him up like this. ”

Jose raised his head, clenched the White Emperor's sword, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, it was Pavic, he pinched a wooden stick he picked up from the ruins and carved a huge magic array on the ground, the center of the magic array was Hedong, he knelt there, staring at his hands blankly, his face was full of tears, it seemed that he was also in a hallucination.

Pavic was portraying the magic circle while talking to Jose like a family, "He killed me years ago, and now the blood of his heir will bring me back to life, it's interesting, isn't it." ”

"I don't understand. José stared at him.

"Don't understand what?" Pavic was still doing his job, and Jose couldn't understand the effect of the magic circle.

"Why doesn't it make sense that the Lord of Sword and Blood just sealed you and didn't kill you?"

"Who knows?" Pavic seemed to have finally finished his work, tossed the stick aside in his hand, and looked at José, "Everyone has their own regrets, I wonder if you don't feel guilty about the little girl you killed?"

"I didn't do anything wrong, that's the most reasonable judgment. José kind of gave his own answer.

"Haha. Pavic laughed, "I kind of understand why this body hates you so much, they all say I'm a monster, but you're the real monster, don't you even have any feelings?"

Jose didn't say a word, he carried the White Emperor Sword, jumped lightly, came to Pavic, and stabbed with a sword, Pavic dodged the sword very easily, but patted his chest and kept muttering, "It's so dangerous." ”

Jose lifted the sword and stabbed it again, but he suddenly grabbed the White Emperor Sword with his fingers, and the sound of the white emperor accompanied by green smoke came from the fingers he pinched the White Emperor Sword, but he didn't seem to feel it, and put his face in front of Jose, "There is a price to pay for holding the power that does not belong to you, you wasted at least more than twenty years of your life by fighting that kid just now, even if the life span of the demon spirit is as long as two or three hundred years, how many more years can you waste?"

José ignored it, and the light on the White Emperor's sword suddenly brightened, and he actually burned Pavic's two fingers at once, and the latter suddenly distanced himself from Jose and stood beside Hedong, who was crying bitterly.

"Hey, are you sure you want to spend your time with me?" Pavic put his hand on Hedong and looked at Hedong with a smile, "They don't have much time, huh?"

Several black portals rose from the ruins, and Jose's eyes were attracted by one of the portals, and the person lying under that door was Ye Duyu.

"Their lives are in your hands!"
