Take me away.

It's a simple three words.

At this moment, Higashinohara's focus is not that this woman, who is as cold and lonely as a black swan when they meet tonight, will open her mouth to go with him.

For this sentence, the focus of Higashinohara's attention is actually the word "belt", and the information revealed in it is very intriguing.

Does this mean...

The woman in front of her who was standing in place like a black swan was not because she didn't want to leave, but because she couldn't move at all at the moment.

Almost subconsciously, Higashinohara's mind recalled the thick white fog tent [Body Devouring Snake] that had just fallen into the thick white fog tent [Snake of the Body] of the Southern Army of the Dawn Revolutionary Army.

One thing that the mother doubts is that

If it weren't for the fact that the woman in front of him had just made a timely move, even if Higashinohara wanted to kill a ninth-order god-level powerhouse who was upright "in the year of fighting" even if he only paid such a small price under an abnormal state, I am afraid it would not be so easy.

From this, it can be inferred that the woman who had just been fighting with her from beginning to end with the same talent [Desolate Ruins] Fog Ghost had probably paid a considerable price.

But here's the problem...

Why did this woman let him take her away?

At this moment, even if the people of the Dawn Revolutionary Army lost their main bones and drew their swords in anger, the black-robed execution team of the Judgment Division around the courtyard also "resisted death" to protect each other.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that such an incident occurred in the residence of a councillor in a country so close to the city of Kyoto, and the personnel of the Adjudication Division Branch stationed in Meji Province were probably on their way as soon as the situation of the inquisitor Misius was beheaded out of control.

And even in the night rain mixed with the sound of chaotic fighting, Higashinohara, who was extremely sensitive, seemed to be able to hear the long whistle coming from the road outside this private mansion where the powerful gathered.

Those are the ones who are about to come to help.

Why is she leaving?

Couldn't these black-robed people from the execution team reassure her?

Thinking of this woman's somewhat unusual "guilt value" in the adjudication department, Higashinohara's face couldn't help but show a little thoughtfulness.

Time

The problem is back to square one.

Do you want to take her away?

Higashinohara stood still and muttered for a moment.

Under the night rain, the woman wearing the black veil is like a gently swaying evening lotus under the moonlight of the pond.

From start to finish,

The other party just said something in a cold voice, and there was no longer any repetition or urging.

In fact, if it weren't for the keen senses of Higashinohara, who was sure that he had heard correctly.

Just looking at the cold and desolate appearance of the woman in the night rain at the moment, I am afraid that another person will think it is an auditory hallucination.

Higashinohara even had a faint premonition.

If he pretends not to hear what the other person is saying right now, or takes what he just said as an auditory hallucination.

Even if he walked away now, this woman would definitely not speak again...

So, after hesitating for three-quarters of a second,

Chaotic courtyard rain at night...

Almost no one noticed that the two men and women who were supposed to be at the center of these people's fights,

But he quietly disappeared into the courtyard...

......

King District, Mae Chai Province, western suburbs.

In this private mansion where the powerful parliamentarians lived, Councilor Kenneth died tonight, the inquisitor Misius who was airborne in Beijing was also killed, and the Dawn rebels appeared in large numbers...

In less than ten minutes. A large number of police detectives and agents of the Condor Bureau, as well as the black robes of the Judgment Division, which was full of cold and murderous aura in the night rain, poured into this private mansion like a tidal wave.

For a while, the lights on the second floors of many other mansions in the vicinity were lit, and the figures behind the curtains swayed and watched.

At the door of the courtyard, servants stretched out their heads curiously, whispering to each other.

"Tut, I don't know which big man has fallen again."

"It looks like I'm going to Senator Kenneth's house."

"I heard that Councilor Kenneth's family held a birthday party tonight, and a few servants were transferred from us, so it couldn't be that someone was arrested at the dinner."

"What's so strange, wasn't there an adult in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was arrested a while ago? It's in our residential area. ”

"I really don't know what these big people are doing with power and money?"

"Hehe, you know, you won't be driving people here."

“......”

Working in this place as servants, they saw more big people in a day than in decades, and encountered just as many things, and by now they were all numb to the point of being somewhat calm, without the slightest fuss between their words.

Of course, if they really knew what was going on in that mansion tonight and the storm that was about to rise, they would probably be in a shock for a long time.

.....

But none of this is important to Higashinohara.

To the north of this private homestead of the magnates, there is a dark brown woodland with a wide variety of vegetation, but the most visible is the large expanse of silver fir trees.

Under the blue dome overhead, the raindrops gently beat the green leaves of the silver fir trees.

This was originally a place for morning exercise in a private homestead, but in the middle of the night, two uninvited guests broke in, one went into the grove, and stepped on the ground with rotten leaves and dead branches to make a rustling "creaking" sound.

Not surprisingly, these two people were Higashinohara and the "empress" Doroshi, who had just disappeared in the eye of the storm in the courtyard of Councilor Kenneth's mansion. Alita too.

Higashinohara's face was still wearing a miserable white clown mask. Alita was still wearing the light black veil on her face, and she didn't know what material it was made of, but it didn't wrinkle at all after being wet in the night rain.

However, the black slender evening dress on her body was washed by the rain to become more "slim", almost clinging to the surface of the skin, and the black openwork shawls on both sides were stained with slightly wet rain and dew, and the posture seemed a little strange when walking.

Higashinohara was vigilant in his heart,

It was deliberately half a position behind.

After a slight glance,

He realized what was weird.

It turned out that the other party's walking posture was a little uncoordinated.,Only the slender waist and the pair of long legs below the natural walk.,The upper body looks completely stiff like a puppet.,It belongs to the kind of person who can scare a person to death when walking alone in the woods at night.。

- It seems that the injury caused to her by the fog ghost Charles just now is still affecting her, after all, not everyone has such a [Doomsday Apocalypse] physique.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but relax slightly, and unconsciously glanced at it again.

But Higashinohara quickly retracted his gaze,

This time the heart is not weird,

It's something different.

Tonight in the courtyard in the music flow and the crowd is noisy, even if the two of them have danced together.

But at that time, Higashinohara was always in a state of vigilance, and his eyes almost didn't fall on the woman in front of him.

Until this moment,

In this uninhabited rainy night woods, Higashinohara, who was relaxed, just glanced at it, but found that this woman was almost as tall as herself who was almost 1.9 meters tall, and she stood out from the crowd at tonight's dinner party, no wonder she was called "Empress".

And the evening dress that he hadn't paid much attention to at the dinner party showed the magnificent movement of that slender curve after being wet by the night rain.

However, what was really strange in Higashinohara's heart at the moment was the long black hair on the top of the other party's head that was covered by a veil.

I didn't think too much about it before, but at this moment, I accidentally noticed that the top of the other party's head was slightly bulging on both sides under the veil, and it looked like a little girl's bun.

can look at the other party's height and cold momentum, if there is such a cute hairstyle like a little girl under the black veil, it will inevitably be a little too disobedient...

That's why you wear a black veil?

Higashinohara thought about these things in his heart.

Finally, as they went deeper into the woods on this rainy night, the atmosphere between the two of them became more and more strange during the aimless walk.

He opened his mouth,

I resisted the idea of taking the initiative to speak.

Although tonight, although the other party first helped him get out of the fog ghost Charles's [Body Devouring Snake], and the [Eight Cold Extreme Hell] with all his strength froze Charles's order power.

But later, when Higashinohara brazenly killed the fog ghost Charles, the "common enemy" of the two in that situation, it also brought their battle to an end, even if the empress took the initiative to help him get out of trouble, some kindness had already been repaid.

Now the two of them will appear in this dense forest.

After all, it's the Empress Dorohi. Alita offered to ask him for help.

At this time, if he spoke first and did not speak, the momentum would have weakened by three points.

Whatever...

Higashinohara thought to himself.

Anyway, they've all come here,

might as well take a few steps,

Let's see what kind of medicine this woman sells in her gourd.

But at this moment, the woman walking diagonally in front suddenly stopped.

She gently felt the raindrops in the blue night sky falling on her black veil of unknown material through the dense leaves of the branches, and felt the cold touch of the rain sliding across her face through the veil, and suddenly said, "The rain tonight seems to be colder than ever." ”

Hearing the woman's words, the corners of Higashinohara's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart When you just released the last move [Eight Cold Extreme Hell] in the courtyard, even I almost froze.

Are you still afraid of the cold?

But he knows that such a classic "no words to find" means that the next thing is often the text.

So he was silent without saying a word.

However, in the next second, the woman's next words made Higashinohara Tongkong shrink slightly.

"At that time,

The one you want to kill is me,

Is that right? ”

The slender and slender woman in front of her did not turn around, and her voice still sounded so clear and calm, without the slightest fluctuation.

It seems to be saying something inconsequential.

She didn't name when "then" was, but Higashinohara clearly understood when "then" was.

That was when he was first preparing to eliminate the "dark thunder" that threatened him the most.

In the gloomy silver fir forest,

The rain kept falling,

The atmosphere was silent and somewhat solemn.

A moment later, not far behind the empress, from under the mask of a miserable white clown, Higashinohara's equally flat voice came from behind.

"That's right."

"Why?" The Empress asked.

"Why did I want to kill you?" Higashinohara asked.

"No..."The empress seemed to want to shake her head, but she couldn't shake her head after all, her upper body hadn't recovered yet.

She only paused slightly before she said, "Why did you choose to help me later?" ”

"As you can see."

Higashinohara said in a calm tone:

"Charles, the fog ghost, suddenly tried to kill me, so I had no choice but to turn against me."

As the words fell, the dark woods seemed to fall silent again, leaving only the sound of rain rustling against the delicate green of the silver fir trees overhead.

"I won't despise you."

Suddenly, Empress Dorohi. Alita suddenly said something thoughtlessly, and then said in a surging voice:

"What's more, your strength is far beyond my expectations, if at that time, you were really determined to kill me, with your strength, it would be completely easy to do."

Speaking of which, the "Empress" Doroshi. Alita paused and continued, "But you didn't do that. ”

At this time, most of Higashinohara's attention was focused on the second half of the empress's words.

The whole person fell silent.

This is actually the question he was subconsciously avoiding in his mind tonight.

After all, from a purely rational and objective point of view, Higashinohara and the Adjudication Division have long been in a state of endless hostility, and the empress in front of her, who only has a "1 star", is undoubtedly the biggest hidden danger for Higashino, who is burdened with the [Crime Handbook].

The most calm and rational way tonight is to take advantage of the defeat of the other party and the fog ghost Charles, and take precautions to kill the "dark thunder" in this adjudication division.

Higashinohara is a sane and calm person.

From last year to the present, in the battles again and again, he has shown his decisiveness in this point.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have sensibility.

The woman in front of him is a "dark thunder" and a "hidden danger" for him.

But if Higashinohara really killed a woman whose crime value was only twice as hateful as Xia Li's in order to open up possible security risks for himself, what difference would this have with the Judgment Division and the people of the Dawn Revolutionary Army?

Perhaps it was because of this that he even thought that he only existed subconsciously at the time.

So, after the fog ghost Charles came in coldly, Higashinohara would turn against him so naturally.

So much so that in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Dongye was originally the empress's person, and he came up to help the empress, and he had to go against the emperor without the slightest sense of disobedience.....

After pondering so far, Higashinohara saw that the other party hit the nail on the head and found out what he was thinking at the time.

He couldn't help but say frankly and slowly, "I think... You and the other rulings make... Something seems different. ”

In the dark, the empress Doroshi, who had her back to Higashinohara. Alita's body suddenly trembled slightly when she heard this, and then let out an inaudible sigh, "But in any social organization, being different is sometimes not a good thing. ”

"The strong have always been outliers." Higashinohara Road.

Empress Doroshi. Alita said noncommittally, "But such a strong person can never expose his weak side, even in front of those closest to him." ”

Higashinohara glanced at Empress Doroshi. Alita's sword-like back said thoughtfully:

"Like tonight?"

The empress was silent when she heard this.

At this time, she had just introduced Higashinohara into this topic, and suddenly asked very jumpingly, "What about you?" Why did you kill the Inquisitor of Mitheus. ”

Higashinohara still didn't answer passively, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think he shouldn't die?" ”

"I didn't think so."

Hearing this, the empress still said in a calm and clear voice, "It's just that even if he deserves to die, even if the humans in this world hate him again, they won't kill him like you." ”

Higashinohara understood the "facts" in the other party's words.

Not because of how strong Mitheus is.

Stafford's headmaster is better than Mitheus even if he is old and frail, but if Mitheus really kills people in Stafford, even if the old man is angry, at most he will arrest him and hand him over to the world government for trial.

And not to say kill him.

All this is naturally because of the black robe on the other party's body, which represents the gloomy and cold words "Adjudication Division".

Offended the adjudication division head-on,

It means that until the end of life, everyone around you will be implicated.

This is the consensus of almost all human beings.

Higashinohara didn't explain anything about this, but suddenly shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "So... Maybe I'm an outlier too. ”

The First Clan

The voice fell, and the gloomy woods fell silent again.

The two "outliers" were silent in response.

After a while, this time Higashinohara suddenly took the initiative to speak, "You asked me to take you out of the courtyard, I think this place should be about the same, no one should come here before tomorrow morning."

Of course, I don't guarantee that the people from the Adjudication Division won't search this wood, so you'd better recover as soon as possible..."

"You're leaving?"

The Empress interrupted him.

Higashinohara raised his hand and looked at the person on his right wrist who had just stunned the Condor Secret Service and took off the watch he was wearing, and the second hand just crossed the twelve squares.

Meaning another minute has passed.

"Time is running out." He said casually, 'truthfully'.

When the empress heard this, she was silent again, and she didn't say anything more, and her heart under the black veil may be thinking that the other party is unwilling to spend more time on her.

And Higashinohara did not say goodbye.

There is no need to say goodbye between the two.

Because I'll see you next time,

It is very likely that the enemy will meet each other.

However, just as Higashinohara turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly faintly felt that there was something wrong with the conversation just now, and he couldn't say anything wrong for a while.

When he turned back and took two steps, Higashinohara suddenly paused, and a flash of lightning crossed his mind!

came the end of the song of the dinner dance,

The Empress of the Adjudication Division in front of her said as she raised her hand and gently put it on her shoulder.

"You don't deserve to be looked down upon...

Isn't it? ”

And just half a minute ago, when the two began to exchange words, the first half of the woman's question to herself seemed to be, "I said I would not despise you." ”

At that time, his attention was focused on the second half of the other party's sentence.

After reacting at this moment, Higashinohara's eyes shrank with his back to him, and he suddenly stopped his figure.

That's exactly what happened.

Suddenly,

The wind was rising in the forest behind him.

Higashinohara Huo Ran looked back,

But seeing the empress behind her, who was almost the same height as herself, raised her slender and white long legs under the black evening dress without warning,

A thrilling arc swept through the dark night, sweeping the wind pressure straight towards the back of Higashinohara's head!

At this moment,

With the night dynamic vision of Higashinohara,

He could even clearly see the raindrops falling in the air, shattered and shattered into crystal splashes by the long white legs that were wrapped in the pressure of the wind, some of which even burst towards his cheeks.

Higashinohara suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart!

This woman...

.....。
