Chapter 5 Bite or strangle

Hogg House, hallway.

A few steps behind them, Arthas and Angelina were arguing fiercely. Even though Emilia kept dissuading her, Angelina was still in a posture of never giving up until she reached her goal.

Edward wanted to leave the battlefield that did not belong to him and go outside to move his muscles, maybe to make his frozen body better, but instead, he fell into another unexpected abyss.

"Great, I've finally found you. The girl lifted her hood and said with a smile, "I'm Shira." ”

"Shera, Holy Pope?" Edward gasped.

Shera's name, which he didn't know how many times he had heard from Arthas. Perhaps, Shera can borrow the power of the gods to perform miracles but cannot perform powerful magic, at least, she is by no means an enemy that Edward can face now.

Ordinary humans cannot recognize Edward's true identity from the outside, but the spirit masters and knights who represent justice and divinity can see through the evil hidden within Edward's body at a glance.

Spirits and knights can do what they can, Pope, there's no reason why they can't.

“......”

For a moment, Edward's mind flashed through a myriad of possible strategies.

What should I do? Run away? No!

When you come to the door from the other side, you must be fully prepared. Not to mention whether there was a deadly ambush hiding at the other end of the corridor, even if he wanted to run, where could he run?

Looking around, Edward didn't even have a single ally he could trust, all the people in Central City were his enemies, and he had no way to escape.

What's more, he also has another important mission on his shoulders. In order to protect that person, he couldn't afford to retreat.

So what to do? Kill her? Or, make up a lie and find a way to fool her?

"Hehe, I don't want to run away in disgrace, and I don't want to rush to kill the killer. It turns out that you are a greedy guy. ”

Seeming to see through all of Edward's thoughts, the girl who called herself Sheila said with a smile.

"......" Edward's forehead oozed cold sweat.

"Why don't you choose to kill me? Looks like I'm a spirit master. The spirit master's combat ability is almost zero, and if he is approached by a warrior, there is no room for resistance at all, not to mention, I am still an unarmed child. Sheila blew herself up and helped Edward analyze the information.

“......”

"Why don't you speak? I guess I didn't say anything wrong. The half-lifted hood hid the side of Shera's face, revealing a smiling eye, "It's you, it's easy to strangle me to death, and besides, there's not even a guy in the hallway in the way, perfect plan, even if I die here, no one will find out...... I, am I right?"

If a person can calmly face the murderer who is about to kill him, smile at him, and even talk about life and death, then does she have the power to control miracles for granted?

“......”

Edward agreed.

The human heart is the most complex and impermanent existence in the world. Those who can control people's hearts can naturally create miracles.

In front of Sheila, Edward has a kind of naked fear. Sheila's words were exactly what he had in mind, and they were exactly what he wanted.

The girl seemed to be able to read his heart. When he was scolded as a "greedy guy", he did have the idea of taking the opportunity to strangle this strange little girl.

But......

"But you can't do it. Why?" asked Shira.

"......" Edward was silent.

Once again, his mind is stolen by Sheila.

The reason why he couldn't do it was because ......

"Because, although you are a pervert, you think you are a good person. Good people, you will never kill people indiscriminately, and you will never bear to kill a cute little girl like me, that's why you haven't done it for a long time. Am I right, Edward?"

"Tsk......" Edward subconsciously took two steps back, widening the distance between him and Sherra.

All-in!

"What a problem......? If you want to escape, you can't escape, you can't lie to me, and both roads are blocked, so that there is only one last way left, kill me. ”

Shira said unhurriedly as she took off the large hood that was still on her head.

Hidden under the big hood is a long hair as white as snow. Her silky hair clinged to Sherra's white face, and she gently raised her hand to brush away the silver hair that was in the way, staring at Edward curiously with a pair of large blood-red eyes.

"Edward, do you want to kill me?" said Sheila's smile was pure.

"No......," Edward shook his head with difficulty.

"No, I warn you, don't lie to me. Sheila fiddled with her long hair and stared at Edward earnestly, as if trying to see through his soul, "Huh, you're not lying, you really don't want to kill me! Why?

"You can choose that kind of thing, you can want as much as you want. Edward frowned.

"Tsk...... I'm still a child, but it's not your turn to teach me a lesson. Don't forget, I can see through your heart. There was a chill in Sherra's smile.

"You're thinking too much about people's hearts. ”

"So, what are you going to do?" Shira raised an eyebrow.

"You already know what I want to do, don't you?" asked Edward rhetorically.

"How do I know? I didn't secretly read your mind, you are so annoying......" Shera quickly looked away, clumsily defending herself.

"Tsk...... Come with me!"

Edward suddenly threw away the thick dumpling skin that was draped over him, grabbed Sherra's little hand, and ran away without saying a word.

"Hey, hey...... Don't, don't pull me, it hurts!" Edward's rough hand, Sheila almost fell, leaning in mid-air, and was dragged up again.

"Tsk...... Small children are such a nuisance. ”

"Let me go, bastard, pervert!"

In desperation, Shera closed her eyes and bit Edward's wrist, saying that she would not let go.

"Take your mouth away!"

"Hmm...... Nope!"

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, are you a dog, how do you bite people!" This time, the person who screamed the pain became Edward.

"Biting is ...... Hmph, hmph......"

With an eerie sound in her throat, Sheila made up her mind and bit down hard.

"Okay, okay, I won't hold you anymore, and you won't bite me, okay?" Edward was forced to let go of Sheila's little hand.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it, you pervert...... Eh, what do you want to do?"

Before Shera could finish speaking, Edward quickly pulled his arm out of her mouth, grabbed her two slender calves, and wrapped the other arm around her thin body, holding her firmly in his arms in the position of a princess.

"I'll bite you to death!"

"Do you still want me? Shhh

Shouting out no terrible threats, Edward dodged Shera's fatal bite, picked her up and ran away.

Inside the room, someone sensed an argument outside the door.

"Edward?"

An ominous premonition crept in, and Emilia walked out the door worriedly, looking left and right, looking for the familiar person.

"Where's the ......?"

Emilia shook her head and closed the door helplessly, stunned.

He's going to have an accident, right......
