World Bank Building.

The 67th floor of the spa spa floor.

Doroshi in a dark blue hospital gown. Alita's face was pale and her body trembled slightly, and her whole body was weak, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

The sudden slash just now seemed to be extremely simple, but in fact, it completely squeezed out her last bit of strength for her, who was constantly injected with special anesthetic drugs.

If it weren't for her ability to freeze and slow down the spread of some of the medicinal effects, and she had been secretly accumulating her physical strength day and night, she might not even be able to get out of bed if she was replaced by another person.

However, the strength of the day and night was suddenly exhausted, and looking at the corpse of the old man lying in a pool of blood, Doroshi. Alita's face was a little complicated, and she suddenly slipped down as if she had collapsed with her back against the wall.

She tried to get up with her hands on the ground, and after several attempts, she found that she couldn't lift even a finger.

But in the next second,

Dolohi. Alita only felt a slight lightness in her body, and a pair of slender but powerful arms passed under her armpits and hugged her sideways.

Such a princess hug may be liked by other girls, but for Dorohi, who has always had a strong personality. Alita, however, couldn't help but struggle subconsciously.

Then she found that she didn't have any strength at all, so she gave up silently, but when Higashinohara picked her up, her cheek pressed against Higashinohara's blood-stained chest, and her eyelashes were slightly closed.

"Don't be embarrassed."

Higashinohara glanced down at the curled up woman in his arms, smiled and said, "In that world, you also hugged me like this. ”

Dolohi. Alita didn't answer Higashinohara's teasing, but her eyes fell on another body not far away that was killed by Higashinohara. On Bart's body.

Suddenly,

Her curled up slender and cold body trembled slightly, and then regained her composure.

Higashinohara noticed her gaze, and seemed to feel something in his heart, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Don't blame yourself, they want to kill you, this is what they deserve." ”

Dolohi. Alita didn't answer for a long time.

A moment later, when Higashino thought she wouldn't answer again, Doroshi came from his arms. Alita's voice was a little sad and sad, "I don't blame myself, but. Why did they kill me? ”

That's right

Why kill me?

Why did you kill my father?

Aren't we family?

I'm their relative.

Why do these relatives want to kill me?

Why can't I have an elders and family who care for me like ordinary people?

Higashinohara from Doroshi. Alita's stunned words were heard in this series of sentimental and dazed words hidden under the water.

He opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to say that it was because there were no so-called "relatives" in these high-ranking celestial families, but when the words came out, they softened.

"It's okay,

From now on, I will be your relative. ”

"I'll protect you."

He suddenly said with some seriousness.

Dolohi. Alita shuddered when she heard this, her dull light blue eyes suddenly had a little more brilliance, and her cheek leaned against Higashinohara's chest and she didn't speak.

Once in the hell world, Higashinohara told her that the next time they met, they might not have to be afraid of the so-called second adjudicator, and they could still live in this world that had offended the Nine Masters and the World Government and the Ruling Division.

At the time she thought he was just reassuring her.

But this time, Doroshi. Alita really believed that the words of the other party, whether they were serious or not, were not comforting him.

Because once upon a time,

This young man is only very potential in front of her, and if she cultivates it well, it may be a great help for her to reorganize the adjudication department.

But unconsciously, this young man, who was much younger than her, grew up at a speed that she couldn't imagine or even understand, and finally fully showed his amazing "talent".

If you continue to grow at this rate

Will there come a day?

This young man will be like the old man who sat in the Judgment Division.

Relying only on the supreme power of one person,

It will become an existence that can talk to a thousand-year-old family like the Nine Great Families on an equal footing?

At this moment, only the whimper of the wind poured in from all around, and the chaotic thoughts gradually dissipated in the wind.

Higashinohara took a few steps and looked down, only to find that she had fallen asleep in her arms.

After almost squeezing out all the abilities in her body, the special anesthetic of the ability that was frozen in her body for a day and a night hit like a tide, and after leaning on Higashinohara's arms and feeling a little safe, she finally couldn't resist anymore

Sleep, sleep, sleep

A slight smile tugged at the corner of Higashinohara's mouth.

Suddenly, an ethereal mechanical voice sounded in his mind almost at the same time.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the clearance task]

[Main quest attribute point reward: 9] (can be added freely)

[Main quest ability drop reward: Rare race talent "Whisperer" - read the target's thoughts by looking at them and interfering to guide them to modify the opponent's thoughts invisibly.] 】

[Side quest skill drop reward: Talent Sequence 28 Secondary Mutation Ability "King's Landing" - You can turn your body into a container in a special way, visualize some of the strange spiritual abilities that have passed away, and request to be demoted, and the degree of improvement depends on the degree of ability development]

A series of mechanical prompts came and went in his head, and Higashinohara's face couldn't help but smile, and he felt in his heart that this unexpected adventure could be regarded as a rich reward.

Not only did he successfully save Doroshi before the other party transferred it to the adjudication division. Alita, too, was rewarded with such a large amount of attribute points.

As for the two abilities dropped by the other party, to be honest, they don't fit the route he is currently taking, and the branch expansion ability of the Nine Eyes and Six Paths can almost replace them.

Especially at this juncture, Higashinohara doesn't have so much energy and extra source power points to specialize in developing these weird abilities and transforming them into abilities that truly belong to him.

So just a moment of hesitation,

Without hesitation, Higashinohara decomposed all of them into source power points, and in turn to make up for the emptiness of consuming 30 source power points at one time today.

[Source Power Point: 0.3+3→3.3]

Immediately after, Higashinohara focused his attention on the 9 attribute points that were the most harvested today.

Without thinking about it for too long, he decisively divided it into two parts, one added to [Constitution], and the other chose to add to [Perception].

Now look at your own properties panel.

[power: 69.9 (weak)]

[Dexterity: 90 (Medium)]

[Constitution: 85.4+5→90.4 (Medium)] +0.1 Blood Embrace

[Perception: 37.7+4→41.7 (Weak)]

[will: 49 (weak)]

All of a sudden,

In addition to the power stuck in the bottleneck,

Higashinohara's [Agility] and [Physique] both broke through the 90-point mark, and the [Sin Manual] in his mind also gave a "medium" rating.

Belch. Compared to the "extremely weak" at the beginning.

The current "medium" is indeed a very good praise for Higashinohara.

However, after quickly completing the processing of attributes and distribution and drop rewards, Higashinohara was not thinking about what kind of changes such attribute bonuses had brought to his body and actual combat power.

The sound of sirens and clamor under the building has become a chorus, drifting into your ears with the wind, and the sound of a helicopter propeller can still be faintly heard in the distance.

He looked down at Dorohi, who was sleeping in his arms. Alita glanced at it, and it was completely possible to imagine what kind of anger and encirclement he would face next if something of the level of the Tianhu Bart family had an accident in Shangjing.

It's different from every time you've done it before!

Therefore, it is imperative for Higashinohara to think about how to get her out of the surrounded mansion unharmed.

Just when his mind was tense, his mind was racing fast, and he continued to rule out plans that seemed to have a little hope but were actually a dead end.

In the direction of the safe passage he had previously gone upstairs, there was a sudden sound of footsteps that were not too concealed.

Higashinohara's face turned pale, and he put one hand around Doroshi in his arms. Alita, with her other hand, pulled out the [Three Days and Moon Sect] that she had inserted into the old man's back.

However, the next moment,

The door was pushed open.

It wasn't the security of the World Bank Building, nor the secret armament of the Sky Fox Bart family, nor the black-clad enforcement team of the Adjudication Division.

What appeared there at the moment was just on the tenth floor when it was taken by Higashinohara from Francis. The hunter Shura who was rescued by Bart and had a relationship with him

Shura pushed open the door, looked at the messy hot spring recuperation floor, and then looked at the faces of the two corpses lying on the ground, and his blood-stained face couldn't help but have a look mixed with incomparably strong consternation, shock, and amazement.

A moment later,

Shura suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.

He raised his head and stared deeply at the clown mask on Higashinohara's face, and suddenly spoke, "If you trust me, please come with me." ”

With that, he turned around and limped ahead, covering his wounds.

I woke up with a groggy head, and slept from 4 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and my physical discomfort intensified

Slightly less today,

Everyone is also paying attention to protection.
