Half past four in the morning, Red Square Street. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The terrible killer of the Brotherhood, the ghostly figure of Leyok appeared on the roof of a house, the next in a nearby alley, and the next into a wide avenue.

On the blood-stained ground, dozens of corpses lay on them, ranging from elite Brotherhood members wrapped in black cloth to members of the Blood Bottle Gang with red turbans.

Lejok roared again, his figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, it was already on the sign of the opposite shop.

It's like- like he's trying to get rid of, something that comes after him.

The sound of fighting in the distance continued.

Suddenly, Lejoke's originally anxious face suddenly appeared with a look of calm and fierceness.

In the next moment, Lejok's scimitar pierced his left armpit at a strange angle, stabbing at his left rear like a Mamba snake prey!

It was empty, but—

"Tear up!"

There was a sound of clothes tearing!

"A stab hit. ”

"'Ghost with the wind,' Rolf. ”

Leyok raised his scimitar and wiped the blood from the tip of the knife, the anxiety and anger on his face were gone, replaced by a cold blood that concealed madness.

"'Silent Killer' Leyok, are you too lucky, or do you really feel my place?" a strange feminine voice floated from all directions.

Leyok just quietly maintained his original position, not saying a word.

"It's a shame to be a killer like you in the Brotherhood. ”

As the sound fell. A figure appeared on the road in front of Lejok.

A blue-haired man in a gray straitjacket with tattoos on his face smirked and touched his left collarbone, where blood was slowly pouring from a wound.

Lejok's pupils shrank suddenly, and his blow should have been perfectly stabbed into the opponent's heart, and then pulled out in a split second after piercing the blood vessels in the atrium, and as a result, his own knife actually only grazed the opponent's collarbone?

Lejok was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and silently prepared for the next blow.

A killer must always have the confidence that he will kill his next blow.

If Rick were here, he would have disliked Leyoke's nickname of "Quiet Killer", that annoying killer, who used to caricature him the most nonsense, didn't he?

Even Tyles, the traverser, would nod his head: Lejok, who staged a goblin fight with Belicia, was not too "quiet".

But at this time, Lejoke's eyes were gloomy, motionless, standing on the signboard like a statue, and it was indeed full of "quiet" horror.

But the next moment, Rolf, known as the "Ghost of the Wind", changed his face.

"Forget it," Rolf snorted, "I didn't expect that guy in Karka to be killed by Maurice, should I say, Dead Fat is worthy of being one of the six giants of the Brotherhood?"

"I'll hide. But don't get me wrong, we're not done yet, Silent Killer. ”

The next moment, Rolf disappeared.

At the same time, Morris, one of the six giants of the Black Street Brotherhood and the man at the head of the human business, appeared around the corner with a team of elites with fierce faces.

"Boss!" Leyoke instantly floated off the sign, saluting Morris.

"It's Rolf the 'Ghost of the Wind'. ”

The fat Maurice nodded, throwing a corpse on the ground in his hand.

This is a stout man, but he seems to be in great pain before he dies, and if the Brotherhood's exclusive black doctor, Doctor Ramon, is here, he will soon find out that the stout man died with purple lips, bloodshot eyes, and pink nails.

From the Kisery steppe of the Eastern Continent, a nomadic tribe of alien warriors, "Wolf Warrior" Karka, died of suffocation.

"Did you find anyone else?" asked Morris with a solemn face, not in the slightest of his joy at getting rid of a formidable foe, especially if he was a Warrior of Abilities.

Lejok shook his head with a heavy face: "No." But I've encountered what appears to be a 'wall of air' in several places, and based on the descriptions I've heard in the past," the killer paused for a moment, and said with great solemnity and concern, "I suspect that it may be the 'Qi Magician' who has made a move. ”

"Air Magician, Air Wall, Grass!"

Morris spat hatefully, no matter which person with the ability was, he would not be too happy to hear that the enemy he was facing was a magician, and he happened to be a magician who restrained his ability.

For this foolproof surprise attack, the Brotherhood gathered almost all the elites of the Eternal Star City headquarters and arranged them into groups to take them by surprise and kill them with one blow. However, at the beginning of the attack, the elites of the Brotherhood were scattered by several huge forces and strong winds, and some places on Hongfang Street were no longer even passable, and the originally powerful elite troops were instantly split into a multi-headed snake that could not take care of each other.

In the psalms sung by the Bards, the monster hydra Kirica, who is eventually killed by the hero Nekajou, head after head.

Now it seems that it is the "Qi Demon Master" who disperses them.

That horrible fellow, I hope I don't run into him head-on. Maurice listened to the constant sounds of fighting in his ears and made out his bearings.

"It was supposed to be us gathering the elite to attack the Blood Vial Gang branch on Red Square Street, but in the end, it turned out to be them ambushing us, mother, and it was a shame that we were thrown into the Night God Kingdom. ”

"The only two magicians on the other side have dispatched one, and we are stupidly sending forward to die!

Morris cursed with blasphemous words, but his mind kept spinning.

"There must be a mole! I'm going to squeeze Lancer's lungs out when I get back!

Leyoke lowered his head, wisely not following his boss, who was the "Big Six", to curse another "Big Six" of the Brotherhood.

Morris took a deep breath and quickly made a clear judgment:

"Since the enemy is a magician, and we don't have a master above the extreme realm - the attack on Hongfang Street has been a complete failure. You disperse and give orders to all your own people: give up your goal, go back to the original path, and break through with all your might!"

"Let's go back to the Black Street!"

―――――――――――――――――――

Yala looked at Tails, the expression on her face fading.

It seems like a long time has passed.

But Tails just stared at her motionlessly.

Until the other person exhales and lowers his head slightly.

"Stinky little ghost. ”

Yara was expressionless, just looking at the dim floor of the cellar.

It hurt Tails not to even dare to take a breath.

But then, the young bartender quickly said silently:

"You-you--did anyone tell you-"

Tails listened intently.

"- You're precocious?"

This time it was Tails' turn to be stunned for a moment.

Precocity?

This-traverser-haha.

Hurry up and think about it, how did the seniors of the traverser get mixed up when they were suspected by the locals?

Then, the traverser touched his head, blushed, and said embarrassedly:

"Hehe-hey-am I precocious?Haha, that, Yara, I know what you mean, but I'm still enjoying my current single life, and I don't want to-"

"Ding!"

Yala, whose expression was distorted instantly, poked a finger hard at Tails's forehead!

"Little ghost, you give me a little moderation!"

"Also, call me Sister Yara!"

Tails rubbed his forehead in pain, but a memory faded in front of his eyes.

It was a warm sunny afternoon.

"Wu Yuren!Dota 2 is not without you, you can't operate!

"Why have you been saying the same thing lately? ”

"Hey, hey, this is a famous quote in the second dimension, of course you have to- why are you still lining up for the next one, hey!"

"Oh, my friend pulled me to black, I'm embarrassed not to go!"

"Just your Dota level?

"It's the same phrase again - hey, my gaming mouse!"

Tails rubbed his head and buried the memory deep in his brain.

What's going on lately? Memory flashbacks are getting more and more.

Although it is a good thing, you can get back a lot of knowledge and wisdom that you only had in your previous life, but you can't always flash back at a critical moment, right?

He shook his head, looked at Yara, whose face was no longer the same, and said clearly and clearly:

"I don't ask for much, we just need to cross Red Square Street to escape to the Bloodbottle Gang's territory, and from then on, we'll take care of ourselves. No one will know about you, you won't get in trouble! It's a pre-dawn night, and it's darkest of all, and from Downtown to Red Square, hiding from the Brotherhood shouldn't be a problem for you. ”

"Elsewhere, I dare not say, even, as soon as we appear, we will be noticed by the Brotherhood. But Hongfang Street, Hongfang Street is the junction between the Brotherhood and the Blood Bottle Gang, and there, it is the only chance for a few of us to escape! The Brotherhood will definitely spend time catching the scattered beggars, and when they react, it will be impossible to chase after Hongfang Street!"

At this moment, the confident and determined Tails curled his lips slightly.

"Whew!"

Yala sighed and closed her eyes.

"When the other beggars are scattering and fleeing, you go straight to Hongfang Street, good plan. With my skills and experience, it is not without opportunity to open the eyes and ears of the Brotherhood. ”

When she opened her eyes again, her eyes suddenly became sharp and shrewd, sharp and terrifying, as if she had turned back into the female killer she had been in an instant.

Even Tails rarely saw Yara like this.

"But you're safe when you get to the Bloodvials' territory, and you're not going to be able to overstretch the Brotherhood in the streets, but only temporarily. ”

"The Brotherhood has countless capable people and superior combat power, and even the Blood Vial Gang who fought against them is also inferior, and it is only a matter of time before the real culprit is found. ”

"And after that, where else can you go? As long as you're in Eternal Star City, the Brotherhood of the Black Street will always find you. ”

"Even if you leave Yongxing City, how do you know that the power of the Brotherhood will not be more terrifying and unscrupulous than in Yongxing City?"

Yara's words seemed to hit Tails' soft underbelly in an instant.

Tails shook palely.

Yes, his plan has not yet reached that far, his ability is limited, his wisdom is poor, and he has no way to guess what will happen after Hongfang Street.

But they have no way out, don't they?

Only go to Hongfang Street.

"That's our business. Thinking of this, he said stiffly.

Yara, the shrewd and ruthless-looking killer Yara (instead of the lazy and aloofed bartender Yara before), shook her head.

"But that's not possible—"

Seeing that Yala was still shaking her head, Tails was anxious.

In order to win Yala's help, he did everything he could, from fighting feelings to pulling relationships, and even the mouth cannon of justice was launched, and he could still fail?

It's not playing Football Manager again!

There's no way, as a calf, at the critical moment of team battle, you can't be stingy with the opportunity to enlarge because of greed, greed, and greed for money!

Shake the earth and jump big!

"I know that such a request is excessive, compared to providing me with food, compared to giving me a dagger. But, look at the three kids over there, their hopes are in this bar!Yara, please help me! and—"

Tails said with difficulty.

Yara raised an eyebrow.

The traverser was very reluctant to say the following words, because in his opinion, it was completely naked persecution and torture.

"And- you owe me a favor, don't you!"

Tails said in a resolute tone.

"Huh?"

Yara's eyes were full of confusion and surprise, but then, she smiled.

The bartender placed a wolf's leg knife in her lap in front of Tails.

"Favors, you mean, you once suggested that I change my weapons to look like this, and you thought it was a favor? Okay, that's fine, but you're taking advantage of this favor. ”

Tails saw the wolf-leg knife.

My mind suddenly remembered the memories of Yara.

That was a long time ago.

"Yara, Yara, I've figured out a way to make up for the strength and speed of your sword!"

"How many times have you said it, you want to call me Sister Yara! Go, go, a little devil who doesn't know how to fight, no abilities, no magic skills, and no magic powers, don't bother me to exercise. ”

"Yala! This is it! Look at this picture!"

"Huh! The style and arc of this knife -- where did you get it, little ghost? ”

"It's called a dog-leg-knife! Believe it or not, but it's a weapon from another world!"

"Phew, what kind of dog-leg, even if you want to use it, can you change it to a more pleasant and majestic name! Also, call me Sister Yala! Also, what another world, don't go to the Temple of the Night to watch dramas, people there are nervous!"

Thinking of this, Tails shook his head and chased away the memories.

Firmly, he slowly uttered the following words, word by word:

"No, it's not this favor, it's the favor that you provoked Quaid into such a way that he lost his mind and went mad, causing heavy casualties to the beggars, and causing us to flee. ”

Tails finished the sentence heavily.

The voice fell.

Yara's eyes widened in disbelief, her beautiful eyelashes fluttering.

"Y-how-you-"

Tails was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but looking at Yara's expression, he finally made a judgment in his heart.

"Yes. ”

Tails nodded, his heart a little heavy.

"You cut Quaid's hand before, right?" he cursed and called your name. Also, when Quaid's greatest shame is mentioned, he may be angry, but more ashamed, how can he be so mad as to torture and kill beggars? I don't know how, but Quaid must have come to the Sunset Bar to drink and provoke you, and then, somehow, he went mad and went into the abandoned house, and slaughtered - half of the beggars. ”

"That's right. ”

"Half of the beggar's life is actually related to you. ”

At this moment, Tails really saw the trembling in Yara's eyes.

Damn imps.

Yala cursed in her heart, but the wolf-legged knife in her hand kept trembling, betraying her mood at the moment.

It's a little too smart.

Isn't it just dozens of beggars, Yala trembled in her heart, and I didn't kill it myself, it has nothing to do with me.

It's all that Rick, the damn bookkeeper.

It has nothing to do with me.

Isn't it irrelevant?

In front of Yala's eyes, a baby covered in blood suddenly appeared, wrapped in a precious blanket, and then raised the knife in her hand.

At that moment, her heart seemed to be a little heavy enough to bleed.

"So, please help the four remaining beggars, for this is you—this is the debt you owe us. ”

Tails felt extremely uncomfortable, but he said it in pain.

Yala closed her eyes tightly and thrust the wolf's leg knife back into her boot.

"Of course, if the version of the wolf's leg knife is also considered a favor, then it is good. Don't worry about a lot of debt. ”

Tails seemed to find the atmosphere too oppressive and laughed again.

It's just, very reluctantly.

It was a long time before Yara opened her eyes.

She lifted her head slightly.

"Tails, you're such a special child. ”

"Always be able to hit someone else's vital point with one hit. ”

"Quaid probably died like this, killed by your blow. ”

Her tone was a little weak, which made Tails feel uneasy.

But her next words made Tails's mood feel like falling straight into an ice cave.

"But, to no avail, even if I am willing to help you, sacrifice my life to protect you, you will not be able to cross the Red Square. ”

Yala was word-by-word.

Every pause was like asking for Tails' life.

"Because, tonight, the Brotherhood is going to attack Red Square Street. ”

"It's already begun, and Red Square Street will become the most terrifying battlefield in Yongxing City tonight. ”

Time around me seemed to cramp, and it took a long time to return to normal time and space.

"What are you talking about—" Tails asked, his lips trembling, and he looked pale.

"So, give up, you also know that since Hongfang Street is already a battlefield, no matter how powerful I am, even if I have the strength of 'Kingdom Fury', it is impossible to take four scarred children through the battlefield of the two gangster giants. “

Yala said gloomily.

Tails looked at Yara in shock, then at the three children in the distance who had almost wiped out the bread. Coria waved happily when she saw him look at him, a four-year-old girl is always easy to forget her pain.

"Don't worry," Sinti licked the crumbs off her hands and patted Ryan, who was still terrified, "Tails will take us away." ”

"Well, Tails is the smartest, he can do anything!" Colia added happily, holding up a small half of the bread.

But on the other side of the cellar, in front of Yara, the traverser who pinned the confidence and hope of the beggars in despair buried his face in his hands.

"How can this be ......"

"How could the Brotherhood attack Red Square Street today......"

"Why ...... tonight"

"It shouldn't be......"

"Haha, accident, accident....... ”

"Haha......"

"We can't go anywhere else......"

"In addition to Hung Fang Street and later the West Ring District, the fraternity has eyes and ears......"

"Unless we go straight to Downtown 1, and from there we go to the sewers, to the tricks, which is the territory of the Iron Bat Society......"

"No, the Iron Bat Society has long since surrendered to the Black Street Brotherhood......"

"Go back to the ruined house, destroy Quaid's body......"

"No way, other children already knew......"

"Our ...... will always be found"

"What to do ......"

"What to do!"

Tails' face was pale, his lips were pale, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.

Yala couldn't bear it, but she could only shake her head and pat him on the shoulder.

"Stay with me," Yala sighed, "I have someone I trust to hide you for at least a month." ”

"I can go to the old fellow," Arra said after a pause, embarrassed, "The Brotherhood values the old fellow's face, and you—at least you won't die." ”

But surely life is better than death, added the hopeless Tails from the bottom of his heart.

"Sometimes," Yala said, looking at Tails' decadent appearance, lamenting that this clever boy was about to reach a corner, "we have to accept our fate." ”

Tails' eyes were suddenly blurry again.

"Yuren, alas, she is gone, you, you, you have to mourn... Woo woo woo ... ”

"I... I'm fine, don't worry... Don't worry, aunt, I'm fine... It's really fine. ”

"I know, Urren. Hehe, sometimes, we have to resign ourselves to fate. Now that she's gone, this is a hurdle we have to overcome, and no one is an exception, hehe. ”

"Auntie... You... She... ”

"Accept your fate ... Whining... Accept your fate... Woo... ”

Reconciled.

What is my life?

Crossing into this world and being slaughtered?

Do I deserve it?

Amusing.

Read so many books.

So much research has been done.

Wrote so many papers.

How could I accept my fate!

How can you believe in the so-called fate!

Tails jerked his head up, startling Yara.

His eyes were full of determination and anger at this time.

"Kid, are you—are you alright?" asked Yara tentatively, somehow she was a little afraid of the seven-year-old boy.

"They stay with you. ”

Tails suddenly spat out a word.

"All three of them, stay, and you have to stay to protect them. You say, you just say you caught these three beggars. ”

Tails said emotionlessly, as if everything in front of him had lost its color.

"What?" Yara was a little surprised, but Tails ignored her.

"I'm going to make a confession with my three children, I'm the one who killed Quaid alone. ”

Tails continued to say with a blank face, emphasizing the word "alone," "The Brotherhood is coming, and you tell them so." ”

Yala frowned, "Then what are you going to do?

"I'm walking alone. “

Somehow, Yala suddenly realized that this child had already made up her mind.

And no one can disobey his determination, let alone stop it.

But she couldn't let him die like that.

After all, he ...

"You can't even get out of the city, little ghost. As soon as the morning dawns, the Brotherhood will surely find out, and their eyeliner will catch you back. When the time comes, you will only regret why I didn't ask me to kill you now. ”

Yala said with a complicated expression.

Tails turned his head, his eyes frighteningly cold.

"Yes," Tails said coldly, having spent a year in the Brotherhood's outskirts and four years in the Downtown, and he knew the Brotherhood's methods and abilities, "I probably can't escape." ”

"But they can survive and not suffer the pain that Quaid has left behind. ”

No, Quaid, has left them with an eternal and unforgettable pain, he said silently.

Ya stretched out her hands and put them on his shoulders, but turned her face to the side.

Tails felt Yara's hands, the killer's hands, known for their stability and precision, trembling slightly.

No, I still have a place to go.

The only place.

And I already knew, didn't I?

Tails burst out laughing.

Fate, that's actually what happened.

It's toying with you.

You can also play around with it.

He looked at the three children who had just finished eating bread and looked wistfully at the three children who were no longer beggars.

The traverser turned his head and looked at Yara firmly but calmly.

Looking at Yara, whose face was gloomy and her eyes were red, Tails spoke softly.

"It's half past four, it'll be dawn in a while, and there is still some distance to Hongfang Street, you tell me all the eyeliner locations that you should pay attention to"

"It's time for me to go. ”

"Heading towards Hongfang Street, set off. ”

――――――

Concentrate:

1. Football Manager - i.e. the team management game of the "football_manager" series, players often have the feeling that I have done everything I can whether it is tactics, psychology, lineup or public opinion - but no matter how many times I save and restart, I can't beat the opponent!

In the face of Yara's refusal, Tails felt the same sense of powerlessness.

2. Maverick - i.e. "Earthshaker" or "Earthshaker", an optional hero in the Dota 2 game, whose ultimate is a pure damage skill, the more enemies in a certain area, the higher the ultimate damage. Amplifying in a sufficient number of people can even turn around a must-lose teamfight, so the timing of the Maverick's cut into the battlefield to amplify is important. Waiting carefully for the crowd to gather because you want to maximize the amount of damage, and if you hesitate or amplify too late, you may miss the opportunity for a team fight, and if you are in a hurry, you can amplify too early in a sparse crowd and it can be a waste.

In the face of Yara's refusal, as with the calf in a dilemma, between hesitation/caution, and risk-taking/decisiveness, Tails chose the latter.
