Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 848 Then Don’t Win!
New Glass Island, Red Queen District, inside the Supervisory Bureau.

The middle-aged man, who was stripped down to shorts and a vest but still had a resolute look on his face, now looked a little confused.

He sat alone in the middle of a glass cell with transparent sides.

Those solid glass layers are filled with complex silvery-white patterns, making them look like some extremely expensive luxury item.

Under the suppression of these lights, the extraordinary power in his body could hardly be mobilized.

His hands were bound in front of him, with a silver-white hollow triangle locking his wrists together. From his back hung four or five tentacle-like vines, which connected to the back of his head and spine in a row, completely paralyzing his movements from the elbow down.

Opposite him were several Avalonians in uniform with serious expressions.

"——I'll ask you again, why did you kill him!"

The other party's voice was extremely high, reverberating in the glass cell. The roar, like a dragon's roar, made the middle-aged man's scalp numb and his heart tremble. The strong sense of fear made him tremble uncontrollably.

But unlike the sudden fear in his heart, the middle-aged man was not too panicked.

He remained silent and did not reply.

There is a reason why he is so confident.

Because he could clearly sense that... these people looked ferocious, but they had no killing intent at all. This was completely different from the situation on the Black Hawk side.

When faced with such situations, the Black Hawks were usually accustomed to using torture.

Generally speaking, there are two methods - for those suspects whose limbs need to be kept intact, they will be fixed in a completely immobile metal cage and then placed in a dark place or exposed to the sun.

For prisoners who have solid evidence and can be convicted of guilt, blunt saws are used to cut off limbs, or a torture device called a "knee separator" is used to slowly crush the opponent's knees. This is a form of forced confession, and also a form of "early punishment".

When the man was arrested, he was even mentally prepared to be tortured.

But he soon discovered that... these people were too weak. Not to mention severe punishment or torture, they didn't even dare to beat themselves - fists wrapped in animal skins or whips were good tools and would not cause any serious injuries.

Injuries of this degree can be healed with just a bottle of the cheapest potion for treating minor injuries, and will not leave any traces.

——Then the man immediately felt relieved.

Since they are so particular about "rules", there's no harm in playing with them.

The place where he is should be the interrogation room of this country.

Although it was indeed difficult for him to escape... on the other hand, this place was safe enough. If other promoted people wanted to kill him, they would at least have to rush in and kill him by force - and that meant they would have to confront this country similar to Avalon head-on.

This was far too risky for a promotion ceremony.

——Even if they have to kill people, they must give priority to killing those who are easier to kill.

And if that happens, he might be arrested like them... He might even be killed on the spot for resisting arrest!
...That couldn't be better.

Because he had missed three chances to answer questions because he was caught here, his score was the lowest among all the people, and it was difficult for him to complete the painting.

Since he couldn't win, he might as well stay here and see how others lost. Anyway, surrender was allowed in this promotion ceremony...

If he was lucky enough to survive until the last three people were left, and the remaining two people triggered the special victory conditions and had to come over to kill him, he might be killed by the guards here.

If he surrenders at this time, it would be pure profit!
I disgusted my opponent and then left safely. Although I still had to accept the penalty for failure, it was better than dying here or becoming disabled...

Seeing that the soldier remained silent, the other party slammed the table and said, "Name!"

"Grey Falcon, you've asked this three times."

"Where's your real name?"

"forget."

"Bullshit!"

The other party was furious.

Gray Falcon was somewhat helpless: "Then what can I say? This is a promotion ceremony, and you are just a group of fabricated souls?"

As expected, the other party didn't hear this sentence at all.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from... the Black Hawk Principality."

"How did you enter the country?"

"I'm here to attend the promotion ceremony," Gray Falcon said sincerely, "I've said this twice."

"Speak!" When he told the truth, the other party couldn't hear him again. "...I came here illegally."

Gray Falcon sighed, feeling very tired, and smoothly said what the other party wanted to hear.

If he had known that these people were so troublesome, he would never have taken the initiative to attack "Sour Wine".

After making the first choice, which was the question "Do you think this world is real?", he encountered sour wine.

That guy is a law mage - he wants to sign a covenant with Gray Falcon, not to attack each other, not to persecute each other, to help each other, to protect each other, and to form a temporary alliance. The law mage of the authoritarian path can indeed do this after the fourth energy level. Write a temporary contract to restrict the behavior of both parties...

However, the Gray Falcon does not trust sour wine.

Sour Wine was the last person to enter the ceremony. Not to mention that such an ally was too weak, even if the two of them formed an alliance, they would not be able to fight against any of the first three. Gray Falcon had a special ability and could keenly judge the threat level of the opponent. The first three people in this promotion ceremony were completely different in strength from the rest. Any one of them could kill all the others.

Fortunately, this ceremony was not a bloody battle to the death, so he had a chance.

But only two people can survive to the end and win this ceremony.

If he was tied to Sour Wine, it would mean that all the remaining people would be enemies. In that case, he would have no chance of surviving. On the contrary, if he went alone, he would be more likely to get a spot while the top three fought each other.

But if Sour Wine is released and he forms an alliance with any of the first three, he may overwhelm the remaining two. The Law Mage is too troublesome. As long as he is in a position where others cannot interfere immediately, he can control at least three people of the same level and make them unable to move.

In addition, the other party was a lawyer, and Gray Falcon could not understand those densely packed clauses. It was entirely possible that some inconspicuous treaty contained restrictions against him. Even for the sake of safety, he did not dare to sign a contract with a competitor.

——So when Gray Falcon pretended to look at the contract, he suddenly attacked and killed Sour Wine.

As a sword master... when he was already within three meters of the law mage, it was useless even if Sour Wine was still on guard against him.

Gray Falcon easily finished the sour wine with just two moves.

He didn't even use a sword - he put his fingers together to form a knife, and that was his sword.

The first "sword" tore Suanjiu's mouth, silencing him and making him lose his ability to speak; the second "sword" aimed directly at his throat, piercing through his right arm that he used to block, and directly cut off his head and half of his forearm!

He immediately searched for the other party's body, cleaned up the blood and left the scene.

But for some reason, no matter how he hid, he couldn't get rid of the pursuer behind him.

That feeling... was like being monitored by the extraordinary being of the Path of Beauty. However, he had confirmed repeatedly that there were no sculptures or paintings around him that could trigger the monitoring of the Path of Beauty. Any sculptures or paintings that could trigger the monitoring of the Path of Beauty had been completely destroyed by him.

As a result, in less than ten minutes, he was held down by more than sixty people.

There are more than sixty third-level supervisors and several fourth-level lawyers who are under heavy protection.

...There's no way, the equipment of this city's superhuman troops is too advanced.

They were able to fly at high speeds with the help of some kind of device—and they could also create a simple shield. That shield, which could withstand one attack, also caused him a lot of trouble.

Although the shield was too fragile for him, it could be broken with just one elbow strike...

But as long as he has a knife in his hand, he can try to break through!
Their guns did not fire fragile bullets that could be directly exempted by their bodies. The guns seemed to have integrated the power of the Tao, and could continuously shoot a silver light that weakened his strength; there was also a kind of net that would automatically eject a silver light tentacles that paralyzed the body when thrown out.

He didn't even see the Griffin Legion, and those law mages didn't take any action, yet he was caught by a group of third-level supervisors!
The guarding force for this promotion ceremony is too strong!
Moreover, he clearly killed the person in a deserted place, so how did he get discovered?

…but that’s okay.

After the gray falcon calmed down, it chose to admit defeat.

Put yourself in his shoes - if he can't beat him, then no one else can beat him either. He is a warrior, a profession that is best at fighting.

It was also because he was too arrogant... When he made his first choice, he actually had the opportunity to jump to the first two paintings.

But because the points for the third painting were too high, he wanted to try to complete this painting. Even if he died here, as long as he could complete this painting, the 6,000 points would be enough for him to be resurrected and win.

——If he didn’t escape at that time, he would have no chance later.

But after hearing what Gray Falcon said, the other party asked, "Do you have other accomplices?"

The gray falcon's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wait, could it be...

"Yes! Yes!"

He immediately asked, "If I give them up, can I get a reduced sentence?"

Gray Falcon felt that he had found the secret of this promotion ceremony——

Since the city’s guard force is so strong and the rules here are so strange... let the other promoted people who came to this painting come and give it a try!
——Since I can’t win, then no one else can win!
