Arknights is too real, right?

On the ring, the broken body was unrecognizable, and the only thing that could be identified was the complete head.

Light green liquid flowed between the stumps and broken arms. From the beginning of the ear-piercing scream to the end, the audience seemed not to understand what happened.

It wasn't until they woke up from their trance and saw the tragic corpses on the ring that they understood.

"Kill people"

"That person is dead"

"vomit!"

There was gradually a commotion in the audience, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air from the ring.

The referee was too frightened to speak. At this time, Mullenleg immediately rushed to the ring, grabbed the referee's microphone and said seriously.

"Everyone, calm down and don't riot. Listen to me. Now a death has occurred during the game. According to the rules, Miss Skati will be disqualified from the game. The scene will be handled by the Royal Knights. Now listen to my instructions. All spectators please leave the audience in turn. The time of the last game will be notified later.”

As soon as Malenleg finished speaking, a man who looked like an officer rushed to the ring with soldiers and quickly covered Hela's body with a black cloth. At the same time, the soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the arena began to drive away the audience.

Xia Feng stood on the edge of the auditorium, still holding the Shenyue Sword in his hand.

Looking at the series of official reactions, his expression became more and more solemn.

Something is wrong, this is very wrong.

According to the regulations of the sword competition, if a death occurs during the competition, the contestant will be disqualified, which is understandable.

However, Hela's death today is definitely not the first death in this swordsmanship competition. In previous competitions, including the group stage, there have been accidental deaths of players, but the official handling at that time was not so sensitive.

There has never been a time when the death of a player has affected the progress of the subsequent game, and this time the audience was asked to leave the venue, which was too strange.

Of course, it's not surprising from his own perspective, because Hela is not an ordinary person, but a "servant of the deep sea."

However, the official perspective should not be consistent with his.

Putting aside the military boss, just talking about Mullenleg, he should not have made such a decisive judgment in the first place.

This competition has a great impact, and it was terminated unexpectedly during the process. Isn't this a slap in the face? Even if Marenleg felt that Hela was abnormal, he should not have directly gone on stage to terminate the competition without consulting anyone.

Unless, he already knew that Hela was not a "human" and he wanted to cover up something.

Not only Malenleg, Xia Feng guessed that some of the official officials of this competition may know Hela's true identity, and maybe even the royal family knows.

In other words, this was simply arranged by the royal family!

Due to the interference of the Yuan Council, the royal family wants someone to obtain a noble title through a sword competition?

At this moment, Xia Feng's previous guesses in his mind were connected with the current situation.

Winning the championship will give you a title of nobility. He had previously suspected that this was a wedding dress specially made by the royal family for others, and they just wanted to provide someone with an opportunity to become a noble.

Of course, this person was definitely not him, but at the time he couldn't figure out who this person was.

But now, although he can't be 100% sure, all the circumstances lead to his guess.

There are only 8 people in the top 8.

Peter has been eliminated, he is from the Central Army.

Dong Zang was also eliminated, he was just a martial artist.

As for Mr. Xiao, himself, and Skadi, the three of them are outsiders who have nothing to do with the royal family.

Then only the last three people were left.

Tailin, Hela, and his opponent in the fourth game, one of these three people is the royal family's designated candidate.

According to the current official reaction, the probability of HeLa is undoubtedly very high.

While thinking, the spectators were forcibly expelled from the arena by soldiers.

A soldier pushed Xia Feng.

"Didn't you hear the order just now? Why are you still standing? Let's go."

Xia Feng came to his senses.

"Well... I am a player, and it will be my game soon."

"No, the players have to leave too. The last game has been postponed. We will notify you in advance when it is determined. Now everyone has to leave the venue."

Xia Feng put the Shenyue Sword back into its sheath and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, let me ask you, if you accidentally kill your opponent during the game, how will the military handle it?"

The soldier pushed Xia Feng again impatiently.

"Why are you asking? This is not your concern. Leave immediately."

Seeing Xia Feng being pushed, A Guang, who had just rushed over, kicked the soldier in the butt.

Then he shouted loudly.

"Who are you pushing? You're tired of living, aren't you?"

"Ouch, you dare to kick me?"

After being kicked, the soldier instinctively wanted to draw his saber. Upon seeing this, Xia Feng immediately pulled A Guang away and moved closer to the soldier.

"Hey, I'm sorry, this is my brother, there was a misunderstanding."

After saying that, Xia Feng took out his wallet, took out a stack of banknotes, and quietly stuffed it into the soldier's hand.

"Brother, take it."

The soldier was confused by the operation of giving a sweet date a slap in the face. The half-drawn saber could not be raised or lowered, and he did not know what to do.

"you."

Xia Feng winked and rolled his eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay. Take it quickly. No one will see it. Pick it up quickly."

"oh."

After seeing the man collect the money, Xia Feng hooked his shoulder and continued to ask.

"Brother, please tell me, what will the military do to players who kill people during the game? Will they be imprisoned?"

After getting the money, the man's attitude improved. He thought about it.

"According to the rules of the game, En will not be held criminally responsible, but the military needs to investigate his identity and rule out the possibility of deliberate murder. If nothing happens, he will be released soon."

Xia Feng immediately became nervous.

"What if it is determined that murder was intentional?"

The soldier looked troubled.

"Well, I don't know about this. I'm just an ordinary soldier, but I guess it won't be a big deal. As long as the impact is not bad, I won't go to jail."

"Okay, thanks brother."

Afterwards, Xia Feng and everyone in Black Feather left the auditorium obediently.

During the process, he looked in the direction of the ring. Surrounded by more than a dozen officers of the Royal Knights, Skadi walked off the ring, not knowing where he was being taken.

The entire afternoon after that, the arena was blocked off, and Xia Feng didn't receive any notice of the game until the evening.

To be honest, he was a little worried about Skadi.

He knew better than anyone whether Skadi had intended to commit murder, and it didn't require any thought.

Just like the police catch the thief, the eagle catches the chicken, and the cat catches the mouse, Skadi definitely wanted to kill Hela directly from the beginning.

Of course, he didn't understand why the deep-sea hunters carried out this kind of "hunting." He only knew that as long as Hela was a kind of deep-sea servant, Skadi would definitely kill him.

As for the reason for hunting, this is not something he can figure out now, nor is it something he should think about now. He must first ensure that Skadi can get out of this trouble.

In fact, now that I calm down and think about it carefully, Skadi also has her reasons for her actions.

This is not the sea, nor is it a primeval forest. This is the civilized Victoria Empire, and here is the order and law of this country.

In this case, if Hela maintains a certain relationship with certain people, hunting will be difficult to achieve. Even if the hunt is successful, subsequent troubles will be inevitable.

But if it is in the arena of a swordsmanship competition, and the rules of the competition are followed, and the guy is hacked to death openly, the price paid will only be disqualification from the competition.

The rules of the game are known to all spectators, and the process is witnessed by countless people. Moreover, the officials intend to let the whole world know about this game.

In this case, the price of killing will be bound by all parties.

Perhaps, this is why Skadi chose to hunt in the sword competition ring.
