Congratulations, You've Become an NPC

"..."

Arno stood in front of the service desk and turned to look outside.

Chaotic and noisy sounds reached his ears from time to time through the loose glass door.

The staff at the service desk has disappeared.

When Arno came down from upstairs, there was only Sophia waiting for him.

"What happened outside?"

Sophia grabbed Arno's sleeve and asked timidly.

It's normal for her to be afraid.

Just a minute ago, there was a madman outside who wanted to rush in, knocked down the glass door and fell down.

It's still lying on the ground in front of the glass door.

"It's fine."

"No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Arno patted Sophia's hand gently and said softly.

The wind is howling outside,

Arno came in through the small gap in the glass door.

The chill of the wind was blocked by the glass door, but it brought a scream.

It's like God is crying, and it's like the sound of scissors cutting the famous iron plate, which makes people feel horrified.

Arno looked at Sophia,

Sure enough, her body had shrunk.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the surrounding corridor.

Sophia quickly moved her body into Arno's arms.

Arno smiled helplessly, hugged her, and turned to look at the corridor.

A group of armored Guardsmen trotted up to her.

"Fortunately, I found you. Are you okay?"

Arno shook his head and asked in a deep voice.

"What happened outside?"

Because there was a rain shield outside the glass door, which blocked Arno's view, he did not see the hole in the sky.

But you can roughly guess that this is because the server is about to be launched.

"Don't you know? There's a big hole in the sky outside."

"Now heretics and terrorists are causing chaos in the royal capital. Your Excellency asked us to protect you."

That person is probably Evie.

Her identity is special and she does not have a code name. She is usually called vaguely.

"terrorist?"

Arno frowned.

"Yeah, it's pretty chaotic out there right now."

"I suggest you take him to the hospital so that we can better protect you."

"If you need it, you can-"

The soldier wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Arno waving his hand.

"Don't talk about this yet. Where are the defense and security forces of the royal capital?"

"Well... they didn't go out. I don't know why. You also know that our intelligence network..."

The Guardsman smiled awkwardly when he said this.

Except for the Correcter intelligence network that Arno had personally captured, there was no difference between the old aristocratic forces and the blind men in the royal capital.

"I asked an idiot question."

Arno said speechlessly.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

The hospital seemed to be shaking.

Arno narrowed his eyes and looked out the door.

However, I didn't see anything. The scenery outside was still the same as before.

"What's going on!? What happened?"

The Guards soldier looked solemn and called someone from the headquarters through the earpiece to ask.

"What? The building collapsed?"

"..."

"Yeah...I know."

He hung up the phone and looked at Arno.

"Sir, good news. It seems that the Military Commission has taken action. The current situation should be stabilized soon."

Military commission?

Mother took action? Or someone else?

Arno thought for a moment.

"What happened with the explosion just now?"

"It seems that terrorists detonated explosives in the building and wanted to carry out a terrorist act by blowing up the building."

Do terrorists have enough explosives to blow up buildings?

The empire's control over gunpowder is relatively strict, let alone a large amount of gunpowder. Unless you are blind, it is impossible for the empire's departments to fail to detect it.

The direction of gunpowder has always been under strict control.

After thinking for a while, Arno asked.

"Are there any civilian casualties?"

The soldier was stunned, asked a few questions through the earphone, and then replied to Arno.

"No, it seems that the surrounding civilians have escaped because of the alarm robot."

Sounds reasonable.

But the doubts cannot be ignored.

However, this has nothing to do with Arnold. He just asked casually and did not intend to go into details.

[There is one minute left before the server starts. 】

[The countdown begins now. 】

【59...】

【58......】

Arno listened to the machine sound in his ears and turned his head to look out the door again.

In his sight, the sky suddenly turned black.

There was no warning, no unusual movement.

Just suddenly, like someone pressing a light switch, the whole world plunged into darkness.

"what happened?!"

The soldiers were so anxious that they quickly surrounded Arno and Sophia.

"What? The sky cracked? Are you kidding me?"

Listening to the nonsense in the earphones, the soldier's face turned red with anger.

Although the Guards had never been of much use, the fact that they were missing at this time still made him angry.

"Sir, I'm really sorry. Please stay where you are. We will definitely protect your safety."

The soldier said apologetically to Arno.

"No……"

"Open the door and let me out."

When Arno finished speaking, he could clearly feel that Sophia held his hand tightly.

However, Arno was as unfazed as if he didn't notice.

This was the moment when the server opened, and he had to witness it with his own eyes.

"Let me see the true face of this world."

Ya Nuo whispered in his heart.

"Sir, you must not do this."

The soldiers tried their best to dissuade Arno.

This is making their job difficult.

If it were another person, he would have tortured the other party away long ago. How could he tolerate the other party being so presumptuous?

But facing Arno, they had no other choice but to dissuade him.

"There will be no danger."

Arno glanced at the soldier and said calmly.

"If you can't protect others from danger and can only live in a safe place, then how can I prove your ability?"

"...The Guards, are you a little behind?"

Arno said the last sentence in a low voice.

However, the soldiers heard it clearly.

What does it mean to be out of date?

This is already clear.

Either reorganize or disband.

With Arno's current influence among the old aristocracy, he could do this kind of thing.

"...Yes, I will open the door right now."

The soldier swallowed, braced himself, and asked the men around him to open the door.

In an instant, a strong wind blew in, so strong that the soldiers were unable to stand firmly.

Only Arno's body stood upright.

"you……"

Sophia looked at Arno's face through the faint light and was stunned for a moment.

That was the indifference that never appeared on Alexander's face.

For a moment, she felt that this man was not the husband she had been with day and night.

But just when she wanted to ask, strong wind poured into her mouth, making it impossible for her to speak.

"Protect your lady."

Arno glanced coldly at the staggering soldiers and let go of Sophia's hand.

The warmth she brought to Arno was fleeting, and then turned into coldness.

Then,

Arno walked out the door.
