Late at night, the hazy and cold moonlight covered the desolate Sioux City gardens like frost.

When the fierce battle in the evening heavy rain ended, the ancient desolation and silence returned to the ruins of the garden, leaving only large areas of blood stained red floor tiles silently telling something...

..

"Now,

Do you believe what I said?"

A corner of the garden,

After returning to normal, Higashinohara's face looked a little pale under the moonlight, but with a smile on his face, he took a bite of an energy bar from the supplies he had just seized in the evening.

Lactobacillus flavored.

After not eating for almost two days and encountering such a terrifying fierce battle in the evening, Higashinohara was already empty in his stomach. At this time, even chewing an energy bar was extremely energetic.

After hearing Higashinohara's words, Empress Dorothy Alita, who had just eaten a strawberry-flavored energy bar, put down the purified water she was sipping and lowered her forehead slightly.

Obviously, she also recalled the palm knife that passed through the rain curtain behind the rockery in the evening.

If you say you will fight, then fight.

Haven't knocked anyone unconscious yet!

It doesn't matter if he didn't knock anyone unconscious.

The key person jumped up to save you again.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Higashinohara looked at the slightly drooped cheeks of Empress Dorothy Alita.

Although you can't see the other person's face clearly through the black gauze, you can still imagine how shy that beautiful face that is usually cold and indifferent would look at this moment.

Higashinohara once heard the unscrupulous uncle in the apartment, Aragaki Satoru, say that some women are so shy that they are like little birds of prey, and some women are so shy that they become angry when they are embarrassed.

He secretly glanced at the Empress Dorothy Alita. He couldn't guarantee that the other party was the former, so he coughed and took the initiative to clear up the matter.

——After all, if the other party was really serious and asked why his body recovered so quickly, Higashinohara would not be able to answer easily.

It's just that due to Dorothy Alita's character, she only waits until the clouds clear to see the moonlight, and never takes the initiative to ask anything.

Higashinohara picked up the [Candlestick Cutting Light], one of the twelve skills of the supreme sword that he had just seized, and pulled out the hilt of the sword inch by inch.

A clear and sharp breath filled the night air in an instant.

"Were you sure of winning at that time?"

Suddenly, Empress Dorothy Alita glanced at the [Candlestick Cutting Light] in Higashinohara's hand, and handed the kettle in Higashinohara's hand to Higashinohara.

Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other person was talking about the incident this evening. He took the kettle with a smile and looked at the red lip marks remaining on the mouth of the kettle. He raised his head and took a sip of water with a slight feeling of strangeness in his heart.

He wiped his mouth, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The aura exuded by that woman is very strong. If I really make a move, I can only guarantee that I won't lose so miserably."

Hearing the word "breath", Empress Dorothy Alita couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Higashinohara, but the thoughts in her mind were inexplicably elsewhere.

This boy is very strange.

That's right,

Even today,

The identity of the young man has been revealed.

But in the heart of Empress Dorothy Alita, there is still a layer of mist that makes it hard to see the truth.

For example, that night at the residence of Congressman Kenneth in Metz Mansion, United Tagos Republic, the young man in front of him had obviously burst out with amazing momentum at the night banquet, but then quickly dissipated in a very short period of time.

It was cold in the forest that night, and when the two of them had a fierce hand-to-hand fight, Empress Dorothy Alita also noticed that her opponent's aura seemed to be no longer as strong as before.

At that time, she thought that the other party was seriously injured, and deep down she even vaguely felt that the other party was holding back. As for why, she thought it was a bit complicated and shy.

But today...

Recalling the tall, demon-like body of Gu'ao that I saw in the evening, and then comparing it to the young man in front of me who looked slightly pale under the moonlight,

Even if you see it with your own eyes, the huge contrast in momentum makes it difficult for people to believe that they are the same person.

The young man in front of her felt like an ordinary boy.

Gentle and humble,

There is no connection with the violent and manic figure of the devil in the evening.

This is not just a kind of hiding of strength.

Even if the ability user's strength is well concealed, it will always be traceable in the eyes of a ninth-level ability user like her, and it can be seen at a glance in a crowd.

But the young man in front of him didn't feel like he stood out at all among the crowd.

Of course, the premise is that your face is covered.

This seems to be different from any kind of aura concealment. It feels like the terrifying strength "disappears out of thin air" and does not exist in this young man.

This method of concealing aura and strength...

almost subconsciously,

Empress Dorothy Alita thought of the old man who had sat in the tribunal for decades.

——The old man always gave people the impression of being so gentle and kind, without any fluctuations in strength.

But it just so happens,

No one in the Adjudication Department or even in the entire Upper Kyoto had dared to look down upon this gentle old man for decades.

Respect him like a god!

Thinking of this, Empress Dorothy Alita's eyes fell on the young man in front of her again, shook her head and said, "You shouldn't have forced her like that at that time. It's not that easy for a second-generation descendant from the Nine Families.

Bowed."

Higashinohara smiled when he heard this, and suddenly said, "But she still lowered her head, didn't she?"

Dorothy Alita was slightly surprised when she heard this. She met Higashinohara's gaze and asked hesitantly, "Have you guessed it a long time ago?"

"I can't say I guessed it."

Higashinohara shook his head, his pale face turned a bit rosy after such a short meal, and he said with a smile, "This time the fourth level purple epic border gate appeared in White Swan Harbor in Barton County.

We were forced to go through that door in desperation, but these latecomers went through that door on their own initiative, so that woman naturally had her own agenda."

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Higashinohara's meaning is obvious.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

If we really get into a fight with that woman from the Tianlong tribe in the evening, both sides will be hurt.

Higashinohara could only hug Dorothy and Alita find a place to relax a little longer.

But that woman wanted to delay her and the plan of the Nine Heavenly Dragon Clan that she represented behind her to venture into the hell world.

Empress Dorothy Alita couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. She raised her head and glanced at Higashinohara. She didn't expect that this young man could maintain such a clear mind in such a fierce and fierce battle.

mind.

"certainly..."

Higashinohara suddenly smiled again and said, "The woman from the Tianlong clan dared to agree to my conditions tonight and even left the supplies she carried. This can only mean two things."

Dorothy Alita looked up at him, blinking her eyes under the black veil, as if she had no intention of following him.

Seeing this, Higashinohara couldn't help coughing dryly.

Continued:

"The first thing is that that woman must have a way to regain supplies, including but not limited to robbing them from other outsiders;

The second thing is..."

Speaking of this, his tone was slightly low, "That woman is confident enough to be strong enough to take back this sharp knife from me in a very short period of time."

Has he become so powerful in such a short period of time?

This didn't seem possible in the past.

No matter how talented she is,

But strength is something that takes time and effort and is never something that can be achieved overnight.

But in this hell world.

Everything is possible.

Subconsciously, the secrets about the purple demon and the tide emerged in Empress Dorothy Alita's mind.

She immediately turned her head and looked deep into the ruins of the garden, frowning slightly and said, "You mean...that woman will come here again tonight?"

"Um."

Higashinohara nodded and looked into the depths of the garden, "It's either tonight or tomorrow night. Not everyone can bear to let a duck fly away if it reaches its beak."
