best villain

The night sky is rendered by the grand fire of the red lotus, and the death banquet is endlessly staged on the ground.

The first sensation was heat, followed by the smell of burning human fat.Ling Yi opened his eyes and looked around, the raging flames in front of him seemed to be scorching the sky.

"This is it?"

Answer: The hell of the red lotus.

Immediately afterwards, the screams that came into his ears with the wind caught his attention.

The ruined school building was surrounded by a sea of ​​flames. Looking in from the big hole in the wall, there were three figures in the room where the flames danced, all young and beautiful girls.

The blond girl guarded her petite figure like a younger sister behind her, holding a phantom spear that did not exist in reality, ready to go, pointing the spear point at the No.3 girl.

The girl had long black and beautiful hair, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but Ling Yi knew her name.

It should be said that the first time I saw her, a name popped up in my mind.

——Qi Li Stel Muspelheim

Why, would she appear here?

Ling Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, his confusion was evident on the surface, he always felt that he had forgotten something, and his heart was empty, this feeling made him extremely disgusted.

Just as he was investigating the reason, the situation changed again.

The black-haired girl—Qi Li snapped her fingers lightly.

The next moment, the impact of the close-range explosion was like an invisible giant beast, knocking the blond girl into the air mercilessly, and fell heavily on the ground. There were scratches and burns all over her body, and the blood on her forehead stained her bangs red.

What a vibrant colour.

Qi Li seemed to be rejoicing at this, and stretched out her hand to the girl who was lying on the ground and struggling to move.

That was not for saving, but for pushing her into the abyss called 'death'.

--boom!

There were explosions in my ears, and my vision was all white.

See nothing, hear nothing.

The only thing that is certain is.The girl died.

Yes, dead, absolutely dead, no miracles possible.

Ling Yi stared at this scene quietly.

Why can I be so calm?He couldn't help but wonder and feel uneasy.

It can't go on like this, something deep in his heart is telling him so.

but.Why?yes why?Why exactly?Reason, he needs a reason, a reason to convince himself.People are dull and ignorant, but they cannot be irrational.

"It seems that I am indeed very close to [the first method], and its 'breath' is gradually invading the existence of 'me'. That's it, I can't wait any longer."

Ling Yi fiddled with his hair, his brain was running uncontrollably.Inexplicably talking to himself.

must.

The wild horse must be secured with the 'rein' as soon as possible, otherwise, it will fall off the horse's back and die without a place to bury it.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom... !

The ground made a huge and deep rumble, no less than the beginning of a magnitude [-] or [-] earthquake.

Ling Yi suddenly opened his eyes. Even though he just woke up from sleep, his consciousness is extremely clear, like a bright mirror.Get out of bed quickly.Take out a rectangular box about one meter long and half an arm's width from the closet, and clamp it under your armpit.Don't forget to put away the pieces of paper engraved with the Rubik's Square placed side by side on the table.

At the same time, in the forest behind the dormitory, very close to the school building, a huge monster appeared, at least three to four hundred meters high, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it went straight into the sky.

The 'dragon' named Hekatoncris by [Asgard] (Note: Hekatoncris is the collective name for some giants with fifty heads and one hundred arms in Greek mythology) is covered in blue Covered with colored scales.With hands and feet, it looks like a giant human being.Every time it moves, a pattern of geometric patterns flashes.On the head of the curious, without eyes, nose and mouth, only huge horns towered towards the sky.

beep----! !

The clock tower alarm finally sounded.

This means Midgar is only now finally figuring out what's going on.

"Why on earth...why didn't anyone notice?"

How can one enter this [Midgar], which is protected by a ring-shaped multiple defense mechanism, without anyone noticing it?No matter how everyone thinks, they can't find the reason at all.

The clock tower was gradually contained in the underground storage while the alarm was sounding.

But Hekaton Chris seemed to hate the siren, and perhaps saw through its intentions, and bent down.Waving his arms like swat a fly.

Boom! !

A huge breaking sound came.

The clock tower was instantly smashed to pieces.

The sound of the siren was interrupted just like that, and the unexplained impact indirectly affected the lifting project of the building, making the school building stand alone in front of Hekatoncris.

"what--"

A stunned voice leaked from Yuu Monobe's throat, but it sounded like it had nothing to do with him.

The clock tower is the central part of the entire [Midgar], not only the office, but also important equipment such as the combat command room are all concentrated there.

The part that was blown away seems to be the principal's office.

"—Please answer immediately! Commander's office! Mr. Shinomiya! Please answer!"

Shenyue called desperately, but there was no response.

Finally, he turned off the communicator without any hope, and looked at everyone with a frown.

It happened to attack [Midgar] at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and there was no way to get caught without paying attention.

Fortunately, all the members of Brunhild's classroom were ready to go immediately after the emergency and gathered at the door of the dormitory. As long as the planning is effective, there may be some turning points.

"Everyone—as you can see, there is an extraordinary situation. The headquarters is broken, and we can't expect support from the rear. Therefore, we will deal with it centered on us. Are you okay?"

"Of course! Student Shenyue, please order as soon as possible."

Lisa first responded to Shenyue's words.The others nodded with tense expressions.

Several people who are members of the official dragon-hunting team installed small communicators on their heads.

"Then please ask Aliera to go to the girls' dormitory and conduct on-site command. Please confirm whether there are any dragon-marked discolorers, then gather the dragon-hunting team, and let ordinary students take refuge underground. If you find a dragon-marked discolorer, isolate her as soon as possible. In the shelter, contact me."

"Understood, go now."

Elliera generated an overhead weapon and flew into the night sky.

"Ask Filier and Koi to stand by on the roof of the school building. Act according to my instructions."

"……learn."

"Ah."

Filier and Ren also flew away with aerial weapons.

"Brother and classmate Elise, please come with me. Approach Heka and Chris from the ground."

"learn."

"Yeah. I get it!"

Monobe Yuu and Elise nodded.Tia and Lisa, whose names were not called, couldn't help but speak out.

"Yu... are you leaving here?"

"Wait, classmate Shenyue! Have you forgotten me?"

Tia looked at Monobe Yu uneasily, and Liza asked.

"Student Lisa, please protect Tia here. My brother's strength is necessary to fight Heka and Chris, but I can't bring Tia to the front line. So I hope Liza, whom Tia trusts Students can stay with her.

"But, but..."

"Although it is Basilisk who is eyeing Tia, it cannot be completely denied that Heka and Chris are not targeting Tia. If something happens, there needs to be someone who can respond accordingly. So please .Liza."

"...I see. Then I will accept this task."

"Speaking of which, Lieutenant Zieg didn't come with you?"

Shenyue looked around while talking, but she didn't see that person.

Because of what happened last time, she and Ling Yi didn't quite get along with each other, and they were addressed with honorifics, but right now is not the time to care about so much.Although she didn't have a good impression of Ling Yi, she had witnessed the scene where Ling Yi killed Leviathan, if he had helped her.Maybe he can successfully kill Heka Tongcris.

"I looked for him when I went out. How could such a big movement be hidden from his night owl, but I knocked on the door but no one answered, and I couldn't contact him with my personal terminal, and I don't know where he went."

Speaking of this, Lisa had a depressed face, full of resentment in her heart, and he was not there when she needed him most.I really don't know what to say.

"In that case, let's act as we said before."

Deep Moon said in a deep voice.

that's all.In order to solve the attack of Heka and Kris—the unprecedented crisis since the founding of [Midgar], the defense battle on the island kicked off.

********************

The underground shelter of the dormitory, the room where we dealt with Leviathan last time came in handy again this time.

You can observe the outside battle situation through the large screen embedded in the wall, but this will only aggravate Tia's uneasiness. Lisa wisely did not turn it on, and gently hugged Tia's delicate body.Gently stroking her hair to relieve her inner anxiety.

"It's okay, with me by your side, I will never hand you over to 'Dragon', nor will I leave you alone."

"You and the others. Can you win?"

"It is also part of a woman's duty to believe and wait for a man's return."

Lisa softly comforted the girl in her arms, a trace of confusion flashed imperceptibly in her eyes.

It is true to say so, but where is the man who is worthy of her trust and waiting for?

No, now is not the time to think about that.

She quickly chased away distracting thoughts and calmed down to chat with Tia.

At this moment, there was a sudden 'boom' behind him, and an explosion occurred!

The power supply equipment in the room was damaged, and it suddenly fell into darkness.

Lisa suddenly got up and looked, only to see a figure pass through the big hole in the wall, stepping on the flames and appearing in front of her.

Then she saw the man's appearance clearly in the light of the fire. He was slender and wearing a black cloak.

"who?!"

Lisa kept Tia behind her and asked loudly.

The other party ignored her questioning, and took off her hood, revealing a beautiful face. She was a girl about the same age as Lisa, but the coldness in her eyes was something that students like Lisa didn't have. The indifference of life.

"I'm here to pick you up, Tia."

The high-pitched and beautiful voice, just like her declaration, gives people an extraordinary sense of oppression.

"Qi Li..."

There was an unconcealable complex look on Tia's face.

"Qi Li?"

Lisa frowned, the name was so strange, she had never heard of it, but from the current situation, she could be sure that this person was definitely not an ordinary intruder.

Her target must be Tia.

In any case, it must not be succeeded by it.

At this moment, Qi Lian asked with a calm smile, "Can you give that child to me?"

"Is your target really Tia?"

Lisa's expression was cold and serious, and her tone revealed a sense of determination.

"It seems that we can only do it."

Seeing Lisa's face as if she was facing a big enemy, Qi Li knew that she would not shed tears when she saw the coffin. A sneer of disdain was drawn at the corner of her mouth, and she gently raised her right hand, rubbing her fingers together, and it seemed that she was about to snap her fingers. For a moment, the action froze.

The reason is--

"do not move."

The low and stern words suddenly sounded.

Qi Li's pupils shrank slightly, his expression remained unchanged, and he still maintained that movement.

"Huh? Chigurh? Why are you here?"

Although Qi Li stood in front of her, Lisa couldn't mistake her voice. It sounded cold and deep, but she always liked to make small jokes, like a piece of ice under the sun.

"Of course it's for this woman."

Ling Yi answered truthfully.

"Oh? You guessed that my target was Tia, so you waited for me to throw yourself into the trap? It's really your style, an upright conspiracy. But is this really good? If it fails, it will be a big loss."

Qi Li spoke slowly, his voice full of laughter.

It seems that he is not afraid of the dagger on the back of his waist at all.

"The first half of the sentence is correct. I am actively waiting for you to take the bait, but there is one thing I don't agree with."

As Ling Yi spoke, he moved the dagger upwards, slowly from the waist to the back of her head, the tip of the knife touched her hair, and the coldness was transmitted to the cerebral cortex through the tip of the hair, Qi Li's expression changed slightly.

"There is only one thing in my tactical thinking that will not change, and that is: think about defeat before winning. If you know the outcome in advance, then it is not very difficult to change, right?"

"...Then what are you going to do with me? Kill me, or imprison me?"

Qi Li's tone was surprisingly calm. It seemed that she really belonged to the kind of ruthless person who put life and death aside.

"I need you. It's as simple as that."

However, Ling Yi's answer not only surprised her, but also surprised Lisa. She felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and looked at Qi Li more and more unkindly.

"Hehehe, don't you have a crush on me?"

Qi Li smiled sweetly, teasing Ling Yi intentionally or unintentionally.

"Okay, if you let me go, I can think about it."

"Zig! Who is this woman?"

Lisa couldn't help but speak out, and if they let them go on, it is estimated that these two dogs and men are really going to elope.

"She is the leader of [Sons of Musbel], a 'd' recognized by the disaster, and [Nifer] snatched Tia from her."

Ling Yi replied casually, and then continued to ask:

"Qi Li, there are only two paths in front of you now, the first is to obey me, and the second is to try to use your ability to blow me up, but I suggest you don't do this, because I don't Danger is more sensitive, if a hand trembles and your head is pierced, even your mother can't do anything."

(It’s hopeless, as soon as I write about the sound problem, I will automatically fill in my brain 13, I’m really not gay!) (To be continued...)
