Chapter 71: Dilemma and Crisis

The surface is quite harmonious, but behind the scenes, there is a distorted daily life that lasts for more than ten days.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of December has passed.

Varina kept going to the Brave Bar once every three to five days, and the rest of the time was spent on Qili in addition to improving herself.

Because of sticking to the bottom line, his willpower has been fully honed.

But other than that, he has become accustomed to the feeling of having one more person in his life.

Sometimes he even thinks that if Qi Li is not a witch and life is not an illusion, such a life seems to be not bad?

It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.

Qi Li used various methods to break his excuse and invade his domain, which made the relationship between the two "heat up" rapidly.

There is less and less room for Varina to turn around.

Her methods are fancy and cunning, and she is impossible to prevent.

There are a lot of simple ones, such as the reward-style "do a good job, give you a small reward ......", or the punitive "If you do wrong, you have to admit punishment, I want you to give me ......".

Of course, there are also some traps that are clearly elaborate.

In the most recent one, for example, when she was teaching Giants, she quoted a phrase that concealed a request that Varina didn't notice and read out the answer as a trap.

So he agreed to Qili and allowed her to sleep on his arm.

Of course, this is the version after the misinterpretation.

But it's obvious that after having a reason, Varina can't resist the witch Qili.

Since then, Varina has slept in the same bed with the witch.

He felt like he wasn't far from a rollover.

Monday, December 25th.

As soon as the sky lit up, Varina scrambled to her feet and left the warm bed, as if there was a man-eating beast inside.

The witch who woke up looked up from the bed, did not complain anything, just winked at him, and said:

"You got up so early, I didn't sleep well, and I have to make up for a beauty sleep in the afternoon, don't forget."

Varina escaped the door and waited outside for a long cool breeze before packing up and heading to the shooting club.

He's been in distress for three days, and he hasn't come up with a solution yet.

Walking on the road, he completely figured out that the root cause of his resistance to Qili was the fear of "extreme pleasure".

He knew that the "Assassin" and the "Hunter" were adjacent paths, and that the main symbols were calamities, which meant that "ultimate pleasure" was also a calamity.

Just by looking at the red-haired Elaine in the original book who broke away from the witch's compulsion, there will be a feeling of resistance and nostalgia, and you can imagine the horror of this disaster.

It can change people's hearts!

According to Varina, this is the most terrible form of power, with results worse than death.

He can set limits on himself, but he will never accept those imposed on him.

Varina decided that if he couldn't find a solution today, he would probably have to choose an extreme solution with unpredictable consequences.

……

Shure Shooting Club, reception at the door.

Varina was surprised to see Hugh and Furth here.

And it seems that they have been waiting for them here for a long time, and their expressions are a little uneasy and flustered, what is going on?

Counting the days, because of various things, he hadn't seen them for almost a month.

Since club members could only bring one guest in, Varina had to talk to them at the reception desk at the door to inquire about the situation.

It took him a while to get the general picture from the accounts of the two men.

Here's the thing.

Last night, Hugh went to a party of the Extraordinary in the North District, where he was supposed to be targeted and followed to his residence.

In the second half of the night, the enemy launched a surprise attack.

Fortunately, Foirth had been in bed all day, undetected by the enemy, so he could find an opportunity to "open the door" and flee with Hugh.

They hid until dawn, not daring to go back, and thought of asking him for help, so they tried to come here and wait.

Hearing this, Varina's first reaction was surprise.

Because of the plot of the original book, he also thought that the two sisters would not be in great danger before the appearance of Ziringers.

During the previous contact, he had consciously observed that there were only three dark cyan rough stones left on the silver bracelet that Furth had hidden under the cuffs.

This was the most important reason for him to be sure that they would not encounter great danger, and he made a mistake when he did not expect it.

Could it be the change he brought about?

He quickly gave up on exploring the pointless question, because he would choose to help as much as he could, whether it was or not.

Varina turned to inquire about the capabilities of the enemy, assessing the degree of danger.

Hugh had more say in this regard, and she barely managed to make a few moves with the enemy.

The exact words she described were: "The enemy is strong and agile, wields a two-handed broadsword, is good at fighting, and has a certain foundation in swordsmanship." ”

Firth added to Hugh: "The enemy can find their dwelling, and they should be very good at tracking them." ”

According to Hugh's description, Varina believed that the enemy was most likely a "warrior".

But the key point that "The Warrior" is not good at tracking, and "The Hunter" is a good tracker and has excellent fighting ability.

Varina asked the enemy if he had spoken, verbally attacked and provoked, and received a negative answer.

In this way, either way, the enemy should still only be Sequence 9.

Varina felt that if he had been the first to assassinate, he would have an advantage against an extraordinary person of the same level, even if he could not kill it with one blow...... Moreover, the enemy may not remain in their dwellings.

It is more likely that the enemy has already left, and he only needs to accompany Hugh and Foirth back to take important items and move them.

And judging from the original plot, the danger of the two this time is probably a false alarm......

In short, after careful consideration, Varina agreed to help, but on the terms.

He will provide protection in the shadows, and he will not show his face if there is no danger; If there is danger, they need to fend off the first round of attacks on their own.

While Furth was still hesitating, Hugh agreed, and she agreed.

After the discussion was settled, the three of them left the club together.

Forth and Hugh led the way, while Varina was not far behind them, pretending to be passers-by in the same direction.

After walking three blocks, they came to a relatively remote street.

Seeing that there were no passers-by nearby, Furth couldn't help but ask softly, "Varina, are you there?" ”

"Yes."

An answer came from a corner, but when Furth looked over, all he could see was a pitch-black shadow.

Firth reassured, and Hugh also took out a severed three-edged thorn and covered it with his left hand.

Then, they looked at each other, gained confidence and strength from each other, and entered the apartment building next to them.
