Feast of villains

As the smoke filled the air, more and more thugs rushed out of the dungeon and gathered together. Soon there were nearly a hundred people in the crowd.

The familiar who rushed out glanced at them from a distance, saw that they were outnumbered, turned around, climbed over the wall, and quickly disappeared into the streets and alleys of Shin-Yokohama.

Many staff members from Section 9 rushed out, some mingled with the mob, and some waited in the distance with angry faces.

With sharp eyes, Apu saw a mole guard in the crowd who had just fought side by side. He subconsciously waved his hand: "Hey, brother, this way, let's leave together."

"Ah, it's you." The guard came over with an uncontrollable smile on his face, "Three years, I've been staying in this damn place for three years, and it's finally dawn..."

Having said this, the guard saw the man playing with the shield in the guard room, and raised his hand to say hello.

"Lao Liu, we..."

The earth suddenly trembled.

The guard's voice stopped abruptly.

Cold hairs suddenly stood up on his body. He felt the terrifying pressure and couldn't help but look up to the sky.

Nance, who had just rushed out of the dungeon, stopped suddenly.

An early warning came from the destroyed engine.

[Positron strike detected in transit]

[Calculate the amount of damage]

[The current load limit has been exceeded]

[Guardian engine is not activated]

【Unable to defend】

【Start data backup】

Nance's heart sank.

Two beams of light, one behind the other, fell into the middle of the crowd in the square in front of his eyes.

"brush--"

At this moment, a dazzling light illuminated the entire Shin-Yokohama.

There was no violent explosion, only hot white light emerged from it, turning countless soil into lava, and burning all the human bodies that had no time to cry into ashes.

The hot air rushed towards my face.

The dazzling white light stretched out a white and delicate palm and grasped Nance tightly.

The hot and dazzling light then swallowed up the entire ninth lesson.

The five senses are deprived.

Silent, breathless, and tasteless, in this ubiquitous hot light, all sense of touch, direction and thinking have lost their meaning, and everything in the world is being annihilated...

Nance, who briefly fell into blindness, was enveloped in a warm feeling and could clearly feel the beauty in it.

This is a powerful, majestic and noble atmosphere from ancient times.

And a little kind...

It's mom's... bah, it's the queen.

No need to think too much, the magic element in the body must have felt the queen's call, urging Nance to hurry up and find her.

After waiting for the bright light to disappear, he rubbed his eyes a few times and slowly opened them.

As his vision gradually became clearer, he saw that the ground had melted to create a large pit, and the soil was still steaming. Except for the two ladies following Nance, there was no one alive in the entire square, not even a single person.

No bodies were left behind.

It was desolate and lifeless.

It was like suddenly entering another parallel world.

"What should I do..." Tokisaki stared blankly at the ruins in front of him.

The emergence of extremely lethal weapons such as cation cannons shows that the mastermind behind this riot is definitely a force that is too powerful to shake. Even she, who has always been calm, feels a little helpless.

After a long silence, Nance walked towards the door.

"Professor..."

The adjutant's worried voice came from behind.

"I'll be back in a minute." Nance kept walking.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly felt a slight chill on his cheeks. He looked up at the gray sky and realized that it had been snowing.

Going down the steps of the gate, he saw a black umbrella on the seaside breakwater.

Hidden under the umbrella is that face that is always beautiful and noble.

Those extremely magnificent eyes seemed to be shining with countless stars, bright and dazzling.

The snowflakes were falling lightly, and the queen just stood quietly in the snow, making people feel unparalleled in beauty.

A siren sounded from far away.

Citizens watching the excitement gathered in front of the gate from far or near and talked about it.

Nance walked through the crowd and walked under the umbrella.

The Queen handed him the umbrella.

Nance didn't answer, he just stared into her eyes with his eyes as wide as possible, as if he wanted to see what she was thinking.

However, there was no meaning in these moving eyes, only a faint smile.

"Hold an umbrella!" the Queen said without refusal.

Nance had no choice but to take the umbrella and look silently at the gray sea.

After a few seconds, he turned his head again, looked into her eyes, and opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

Seeing his reserved look, Ximena couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, blinking her autumn eyes with a slightly cunning expression.

This was the first time for Nance to see her in such an approachable manner.

That still noble face is somewhat contradictory to her current affinity. It has temporarily lost the coldness and arrogance that makes all living beings feel ashamed, and instead looks very alluring.

The Queen stretched out her hand towards him: "Let's get to know Ximena Eveleth again. She is known as the Black Gold Pearl and calls herself the Queen."

Nance hesitated and held her hand: "Nance, there is no Adel."

The queen's hands are small and warm. The skin is smooth, delicate, soft, noble and elegant.

A long time passed.

A long, long time.

Ximena finally spoke and smiled slightly: "You have been holding it for a long time."

"Don't worry, I'm not tired!" Nance replied seriously.

The next second, he said "Ah" and took his hand back with a painful look on his face.

The palms of my hands were already blistered.

"Next time you offend me, I won't let you off so easily." Ximena looked at the sea calmly.

A few strands of pink and white hair were blown by the sea breeze and stuck to the corners of her slightly upturned mouth. Her innate coldness and arrogance was much reduced, and she became a little more friendly like the sister next door.

She continued: "If you have any questions, please hurry up. I am not in the mood to enjoy the snow with you."

"A lot of people died just now, ha..." Nance kept blowing cool air into his red palms and secretly glanced at the side of her face, "Not only the thugs, but also the staff of Section 9 almost died.

It’s gone. I don’t understand, why are they, people like the guard captain..."

"Can't bear it anymore?"

"A bit..."

"I don't hate kindness, but there is something you have to remember." Ximena looked sideways at him, her expression returned to a bit of coldness and arrogance, "as flies to wanton boys are

we to the gods.they kill us for their sport.”

(We are to the gods like flies to urchins, they find it amusement to kill us.)

Nance felt that these words sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where they came from.

The Queen continued.

"Why you? Why him? In fact, there is no reason. Whoever you step on is just inadvertent, everything is impermanent, that's all. When you are stepped on, you can only lament the insignificance and powerlessness of people.

So climb hard before you get stepped on."

Her voice is extremely moving.

But what she said was heartless and despairing.
