The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Wow--Wow--"

Two night crows hung on the bare branches, making crude hissing sounds.

A gust of evening wind blew, the branches swayed, the night crows fluttered their wings in fear, and attracted the attention of the two men in black standing at the door of the villa across the street.

In an instant, whether it was the night crows, the men in black, or the evening wind and the swaying branches, they all stopped.

After a breath, the two night crows fluttered up, circled, and landed back on the branches.

"I was scared to death... I thought someone was coming..."

"Hey, why did I feel that time was a little slow just now?"

"Imagination, right? Although I also feel a little..."

"What are you two arguing about!"

The tall and short men in black took off their headsets to avoid the deafening roar.

"Oh... Really! What are the team leaders doing in there! They have been looking for two days, and they haven't found it yet?"

The tall man rubbed his hands and stamped his feet to warm up his body.

"Oh, several boxes of stuff were moved out here yesterday. Did you forget? Aren't those the things that Master Lichtenstein wanted?"

"What are they still looking for now... woo!"

The tall man's voice unconsciously rose, and the short man quickly covered his mouth and said:

"Shh... It is said that there is still a letter that has not been found. That letter was a handwritten letter written by the young master to him some time ago. This guy is really, he didn't tell the family that he had the Honkai disease. For an old man like him, the young master would probably give him a tube of medicine, right? As a result, he died on the day the letter arrived."

"It's just a letter. Is it so hard to find? And why write a letter, e -mail is not easy to use? "

"How should I know? Anyway, the team leader and his team didn't get anything for the day. But I also heard that... it's hard to delete the traces on the Internet if it's e-mail, so this kind of important communication is usually done by letter, right? Well... this family has an adopted daughter who is still alive, and she ran away from home just before we came. According to the team leader's idea, they should be waiting for her these two days, right? If she doesn't come back tomorrow, we have to start looking for her actively! Maybe the girl really knows? "

"Wow-wow-"

A gust of evening wind blew, the branches shook, the night crows fluttered their wings in fear, and the man in black was instantly alert.

"Who-"

The tail tone was dragged out, and it was close to stagnation along with the night crow's flapping wings.

After another breath, the night crow was surprised, circled a circle, and fell back to the branch again, but was quickly scared away by the man in black who came with a flashlight.

"Eh... No one? Are we really overthinking?"

"Is it?"

"But this bird has been startled twice, it can't be a coincidence, right?"

"Why bother! We just need to guard the door! Maybe it's just a cat! Even if you really catch someone, will the master give you a raise?"

"No...right..."

"That's it!"

"Play it down!"

On the roof of a tall building not far away, Mikael leaned on the railing boredly.

Su's posture was similar to his, the only difference was that he picked up the telescope from time to time and looked a little anxious.

In response, Mikael just chuckled, sipped the hot wolfberry tea in the thermos, and then said slowly:

"What's wrong, are you so anxious? I thought you doctors were all that kind of calm and frightening."

"It's not so exaggerated normally..."

Mikael's fingers tapped twice on the railing, making a crisp and distant echo, "Come to think of it, Kevin was much more excited than you when he first went to the battlefield."

"Huh? Kevin's first time on the battlefield...was it in Luluye? I remember he boasted to me about it."

"What did he say?"

"He said he was on an armed helicopter, and used machine guns and a single-soldier electromagnetic cannon to seriously injure a super-powerful Honkai beast, and then you rushed over to pick up the leak..."

"This guy... Heh, I could see him yelling and screaming clearly from the sea a few hundred meters away. As for the single-soldier electromagnetic cannon? It seems that the machine gun bullets were all used up at that time, and Mei in the cabin was in a hurry to pick up whatever she could and stuffed it into his hands."

"Hahaha!"

Su finally laughed heartily twice, but after a while, his face sank again.

He glanced at the dark clouds above his head that blocked the moonlight, and cast his eyes again at the villa in the distance.

"By the way, do you really believe that girl? Ah... I don't mean anything else, but this feeling of not being able to know the first-line intelligence immediately makes me very panic, and I am afraid that something has happened."

Mikael naturally would not tell him that he had helped Ying hide her tracks twice at a distance of thousands of meters.

"Speaking of which, Pado is more suitable for this kind of infiltration and intelligence acquisition mission... Ying's stealth training is completely a prelude to assassination..."

So the two negligences just now cannot be regarded as Ying's level is not enough. If she was allowed to let go, the two men in black would have been killed long before the two night crows flew up.

But Pado is an ordinary person after all. If something happens, she can't protect herself, and Ying...

Of course, he would not tell Su about these considerations in his heart, but said lightly:

"If the person who is carrying out the mission now is not Ying, but Kevin, you will feel more relaxed, right? For me, Ying is completely worthy... Oh? Back?"

"Yeah."

It wasn't until that cold female voice sounded behind him, and an inexplicable biting chill blew across the back of his neck, making the hairs there stand on end, that Su realized she was back.

"cherry……"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not very good at controlling my power right now."

The chill faded away like a tide, as if time had gone back, and returned to the girl's body again.

Su let out a long breath and turned around. Even though he had seen her before, it was still difficult to focus on anything other than the pair of slender pink ears on the girl's head at first glance.

Sakura was looking at Mikael, as if waiting for her next instruction.

But except for the first sentence of "Oh? Are you back?", Mikael never spoke again.

After a while, he said in an even colder tone than before: "I'm sorry, Sakura."

sorry? What's the meaning? Su's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.

He didn't know what happened between the two of them, but he had studied psychology at least, and he realized almost immediately that Mikael really felt extremely guilty in some sense towards the girl in front of him. So much so that I had to make my tone colder than the temperature in the late winter. He was just showing off some of his strength in this way, or he didn't want the other party to see the fragility in his heart.

But does the girl really understand?

She shook her head slightly, as if she was afraid that her movements would be too big, causing her slender ears to sway, and she said:

"You don't need to say that. I don't think you made any decision that requires me to apologize. Mikael...brother, you should know that if I don't want to accept it, Mebius can't force me."

"But it's not because of Mebius that you..."

Forget it, he didn't say the sentimental words. Besides...he had thought of this day when he proposed the concept of fusion warriors to Mebius a year ago.

This is also the inevitable path of destiny, which cannot be violated or changed.

If you feel a little nauseous, you can comfort yourself by saying: As long as you defeat Honkai in the future, it will all be worth it.

But Mikael couldn't tell.

Not that it's not disgusting enough.

But he didn't even think that there would be a... good ending in the end.

"Let's not talk about that. How is the situation inside?"

"There are not many people, and not all of them are soldiers. The overt sentry is very lax, but the secret sentry is very dedicated. Their target seems to be the letters between Xier's parents and the Lichtenstein family? One of them is 'Young Master' ''s handwritten letter has never been found. It sounds like they want to take action against Xie'er."

"Huh...it's okay! Fortunately, Xi'er ran away from home!"

Su took two deep breaths quickly, but then became nervous again:

"Nah Xi'er..."

"Don't worry, we will protect her. But...the Lichtenstein family? Why are they everywhere? That 'young master', can't it be Lezlen?"

Mikael and Sakura looked at each other. The moment they mentioned the Lichtenstein family, they thought of Honkai Disease...

Both of them saw the understanding look in each other's pupils.

"Su..."

"What's wrong, Mr. Mikael?"

Mikael and Sakura both turned their heads and looked at him with pity.

"The truth you want...maybe a little cruel..."

"?"

Su's eyes were a little frightened, but also filled with uncontrollable expectation.

Mikael touched his nose. Do you want to tell him directly?

Forget it, that kind of truth is really unacceptable to a doctor who tried every means but could only watch his patients die one after another helplessly in front of him.

So he suddenly turned his attention to Sakura: "Did you find anything else?"

"Well……"

Sakura obviously hesitated for a moment, then frowned and took out two framed photos from her pocket.

"This is?"

There were obvious signs of disassembly on the photo frame. It seemed that the group of people had already inspected it. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any evidence on it.

But when Mikael looked at these two photos in the dim light of the neon lights...

His expression changed from casual to stunned, and then to complicated and sad.
