At the end of the unfinished causeway, Gu Chen sipped a can of black coffee. Opposite him was a blond man holding a long knife and kneeling on the ground, taking a deep breath.

Lancelot gasped for breath, his forehead covered with a layer of sweat. When he looked at the leisurely figure opposite, his eyes were filled with frustration and helplessness.

He failed, so easily.

--A few minutes ago, after they got off the helicopter, he followed the man carrying the 'Seven Deadly Sins' on his back. As if there was some kind of tacit understanding, the man came to the deserted causeway, and he followed step by step.

There is no need to say anything. They are not familiar with each other, so there is no need to exchange greetings. One just draws his sword and attacks, while the other only leaves his back.

Then, Lancelot was defeated and couldn't even touch the hem of Gu Chen's clothes.

His word spirit is the "Chi" with extremely strong explosive power, and he is holding a weapon that can kill the Dragon King, but it still cannot change the tragic ending. Even if there is no audience, he feels that he is completely injured.

Gu Chen shook the can and the coffee made a clinking sound.

"Will you abide by the agreement?" he said casually.

Behind him, Lancelot wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I really want to say no."

Gu Chen said: "Aren't you very chivalrous?"

Lancelot shook his head, and finally sat down on the long embankment that was beaten green by the wind and rain, "Okay, you are right. According to the agreement, if I lose, the 'Seven Deadly Sins' will be yours."

Gu Chen turned around and said with a smile: "Is it really okay? How will I explain it to the college when I go back?"

"My skills are not as good as others, what can they say? Even if I put my life on the line with my team members, it will not help." Lancelot looked at him. It was already dawn, the wind and waves were lessened, and people could be seen everywhere on the sea.

On the ship, the man on the opposite side had his back to the sea and sky as the sun rose. The sea breeze blew his long clothes and he realized that this man smiled so peacefully.

"Then I'll trouble you." Gu Chen nodded.

Lancelot reluctantly took off the long box from his back. The value of this thing is self-evident. As a dragon-slaying secret party, he wants to give such a weapon away, and the person to whom it is given has just been decided.

Suspected to be the target of the Dragon King, he felt that he was crazy no matter how much he thought about it.

But if he doesn't give it, he won't be able to do anything if the other party takes it hard, so why does he have to force everyone to that level.

If it were other people in the academy, would they choose to die together? There must be people like that, but Lancelot is not alone. He also has a girlfriend and commissioners who trust him. He has to do it for

They are responsible.

After Gu Chen caused that level of elemental turbulence at sea and killed all the corpse guards with one blow, Lancelot knew that they alone would not be able to defeat them, even with the Philosopher's Stone.

Special bullets and the 'Seven Deadly Sins'.

Dragons can never be guessed, whether it is their character or their strength.

"But I hope you will not forget your promise." Lancelot held the long box and stared into Gu Chen's eyes. The other person's black and white eyes seemed to separate the world, as clear as an abyss.

Gu Chen lowered her eyelids and said after a moment of silence, "She will be safe only with you."

"I didn't expect you to trust the academy so much." Lancelot was a little surprised. This is probably the first dragon to show kindness to the secret party, right?

Gu Chen said: "It's not about trusting the college, but trusting those professors."

"Professor Manstein?" Lancelot thought thoughtfully.

"There are also von Schneider, Guderian, Masashi Toyama and Lao Niba." Gu Chen added.

This time it was Lancelot's turn to be silent. After a long time, he asked: "Why do you want her to go back to the academy? You have gone through so much trouble to transform her from a bride-to-be back to the violent witch she once was. Besides, don't you

Can't you protect her? Or are you worried that you will go crazy?"

At the end of the sentence, he made no secret of the aggressiveness in his tone and the sharpness in his eyes.

And who they are talking about is already very clear. Nono will be taken back to Kassel College by Lancelot and Susie to end this illusory and uncertain escape journey.

"Because the road ahead is unknown, I can't guarantee anything." Cirrus lowered his head, and Gu Chen looked at the ships passing by on the sea. "She also has her own life, and she has people who like and admire her. There is no need to follow us around.

, to find a possibly pessimistic ending.”

"It is true, but you should also know how stubborn she is, and she will never change things she has decided easily." Lancelot said: "And from what you said, it seems that you are not optimistic about the outcome of this trip.

?”

He added: "Without the immortals and the 'Seven Deadly Sins', the academy will not be able to do anything to you for a moment."

Gu Chen just said: "Those corpse guards did not come out of thin air."

Lancelot sighed, "The conversation between us is over. It's up to you whether you can convince her or not."

Not far away, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang stood side by side, looking together.

Tokyo Bay is one of the busiest ports in the world. Even if a vicious incident occurs, the sea will not be closed easily. There are just more coast guard ships patrolling. But the coast guard ships have to control the passing ships and will not come to interfere.

People sitting on the long embankment.

"Why don't you bring your sister with you?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Because that is where men should go, so I won't take girls with me." Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

…

Nuonuo stood in the cold sea breeze in the early morning, on the long embankment, waiting for the person in the distance to get closer and closer.

Susie stood beside her, but because she knew her best friend so well, she knew that it was useless to persuade her, because she couldn't be persuaded at all. So all she could do was wait with Nono.

Conversations between men are sometimes very long-winded. When Gu Chen came over, Nono's lips were already a little purple from the cold.

She held her chin up as if to show off her strength, without saying a word, staring straight into Gu Chen's eyes. Her long rose-red hair was fluttering in the wind, and it touched the corners of her lips, and strands brushed past her eyes.

She hated the feeling of being left behind, as if she was abandoned because she was too useless. Like a fool, she followed these bastards all over the world when her head got hot, and then was dismissed lightly?

Nono's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes seemed to have a childish light.

There was a lump in Gu Chen's throat. He just didn't want the other party to continue running around. Now the further north he went, the more he could feel the heaviness. Lu Mingfei had Lu Mingze, and Chu Zihang had Loki's mark.

, Nono... Just like Lu Mingze said, she should not and cannot go there. She is far more 'coveted' than she imagined.

And after experiencing the feeling of almost losing, he was also afraid of losing the few friends he wanted to cherish because of certain uncertainties.

At this moment, facing Noonuo's eyes, Gu Chen wanted to say sorry, but the words came out like a thinly veiled explanation.

"You guy." Unexpectedly, it was Nono who spoke first, "You actually think that Lu Mingfei and that immature child can give you advice?"

Susie blinked, it looked like a stubborn best friend looking for a way out.

"You think that if you deliberately ask me to go back to the academy, I will want to follow you even more?" Nuonuo snorted, "I'm about to get married anyway, and there are so many people waiting for me anyway, don't think so.

Such a small scene scared me. Your provoking methods are of no use to me. Am I, Chen Motong, scared?"

"Sorry." Gu Chen suddenly said.

Nuonuo moved her lips. She still had a lot to say. The grievances deep in her heart could always be expressed in countless tactful words. But why did he insist on apologizing?

In this way, it seems that I am ignorant and aggressive.

"Suddenly she said something strange." Her voice was a little hoarse.

"I didn't think carefully, but now some things are beyond my expectation." Gu Chen said.

"Then you're not afraid that we will be attacked on the way back to the academy?" Nuonuo curled her lips.

She was completely quarrelsome in tone, but in Gu Chen's heart, she was really thinking about this possibility.

Susie whispered: "The academy will send a new team to pick us up soon, and EVA will soon break through Kaguya's firewall."

Gu Chen exhaled softly and said to Nono: "I'm really sorry for so many things."

"Who cares about your apology?" Nono pulled the hair around her ears and looked away.

Gu Chen looked at her and slowly walked over to leave. However, just as they passed each other, Nuonuo, who had been biting her lower lip, finally couldn't help but look back.

"Hey!" She sniffed and stretched out her hand, "It's the same as before."

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and under the lingering gaze of the child, he gave her a high-five and said, "My hair is as old as new."

The sea breeze blew the girl's long hair, and all the myriad emotions were lost in the smile. Maybe only by picking up the conch on the shore one day can you hear the pure and flawless voice of her heart.
