Congratulations, You've Become an NPC

"Gugu~"

At the edge of the building without the next door,

Arno lowered his head and looked down at the scene below. White doves were flying around him like candles in the dark night.

"The night is so beautiful tonight."

Arno said softly.

What his eyes saw was darkness.

Only the spark-like debris fell slowly and disappeared into it.

Those are burning bricks with gunpowder attached to them,

Falling from the dark night sky, it is like paint sinking into ink.

This scenery is beautiful,

From the viewer's perspective, this is true in every aspect.

Even if it falls to the ground, it will burn out the surrounding weeds and burst into flames.

It is also extremely beautiful when viewed from a high place.

Of course, in the eyes of the people below, all they see is disaster.

People who stand at a high level cannot empathize with those who are low.

He doesn't even bother to pretend to be compassionate.

"Gugu~"

The white dove flapped its wings and called twice more.

Arno raised his head and touched its head.

"Really? Have you found it yet?"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Arno smiled softly.

The white dove hovered under his gaze for a while, then soared into the sky.

The dazzling white was gradually swallowed up by the pitch-black darkness.

Finally, there was no trace again.

"Report!"

"Residual biological reactions in other rooms have all been eliminated."

There were footsteps coming from behind, and they seemed to move very slowly for fear of disturbing Arno.

Likewise, the man's voice was as gentle as his steps.

However, even if the voice is deliberately soft, it is full of perseverance.

This means that the visitor is well-trained and physically strong.

"I see."

"Just in time, I also found the hiding place of the target."

Arno said softly without turning around.

"Yes, I feel deeply responsible for letting you search for it yourself."

"It doesn't matter."

Arno pointed forward and asked suddenly.

"What do you think of this scene?"

"It's dark, right?"

"But after dawn, it's different."

Arno kicked the burning stone in front of him over the edge.

With the sound of howling wind, the rocks fell suddenly.

"This darkness is huge, terrifying, and enough to swallow everything, what do you think?"

"Yes, my subordinates have the same idea as you."

"However, under this darkness, there are also people who want to bring dawn. Do you think they can do it?"

"... With all due respect, I don't need to go out for dawn, the sky will light up after all, right? By then this darkness will naturally be gone."

"Is that what you think?"

Arno smiled and turned around.

"I don't think so."

"There are always people who want the dawn, who want to see the dawn."

"But have they ever thought about a question?"

"The sun may go out before the sky lights up."

The man was stunned,

"How could the sun go out?"

"Will not."

Arno turned his head and walked forward. The sound he left behind was blown away by the wind and no one heard it.

"I will make the sun go out, at its most dazzling moment."

——

The deafening sound no longer sounds,

The shock caused by the explosion is no longer produced.

The building seemed to have returned to calm in this moment.

Only the sound of burning flames lingered in my ears for a long time.

"Is there nothing going on outside?"

The young man's body kept shaking.

Under repeated bombings, his defenses finally collapsed.

He thought of nothing but leaving.

What battle?

What a partner.

Everything was washed away by this fear.

Erin hugged the boy, feeling the trembling of the boy's body, with a wry smile on her face that was not seen by him.

Yes, the fighting outside is over.

The opponent no longer uses that terrifying weapon, and the air is so relaxed that it is as if there has never been a battle.

But that's the worst possible outcome.

This means that the other party has achieved its goal.

Unless a miracle happens and the partners annihilate each other.

But that possibility is too small.

Moreover, if it had been done, they would have come cheering to rescue themselves.

"It's okay, it's over outside, let's wait."

Erin hugged the boy tighter.

She couldn't be seen wavering.

Not just for myself, but for my partners, and for this boy.

She wanted to take the boy out alive.

As long as there are people alive, the flame of resistance will not be extinguished.

"..."

Time passed bit by bit.

There was never any movement outside the door.

"Can we go out?"

The young man seemed impatient.

"No, wait a moment."

Erin said.

She can only place her expectations on the fact that the other party has achieved his goal and left.

This possibility is also possible if the other party does not know that he is waiting for someone.

She can only hope so,

There was nothing she could do except look forward to it.

The gun in her hand could not bring her any sense of security at all.

After being discovered, there will be nothing but death.

"How long we have to wait."

"Wait until daybreak."

Erin said softly.

Of course, they don't know at all,

The outside has long been surrounded by water.

If it weren't for the sound of burning flames, the breathing sounds of a dozen people could be heard in the room.

Miracles won't happen,

In other words, miracles don’t happen around humble people.

Because miracles have a price.

The one who bids higher is more qualified to have the miracle.

Otherwise, miracles will appear cheap.

"spread."

Arno stood in front of the door and said calmly.

The people around looked at each other, walked lightly and walked away for a distance.

"Shoot at me, avoid the vital points."

"Not too many, just three shots is enough."

"Don't worry, I've let go of my defenses, your bullets can hit me."

Arno then said calmly.

There was no way he could get into the room unscathed.

Just like he couldn't reach the top of this building unharmed.

After passing through heavy gunfire, I was able to reach the door of this room without any injuries.

No fool will believe such a lie.

Although most people in this world are fools who are led by others.

But you always have to be careful to pretend that the other person isn't a fool.

This is a necessary condition to ensure that you don't overturn.

"But……"

The people around him were hesitant.

"I told you to shoot."

"Can't you hear me?"

Arno turned his head and looked at the people some distance away from him with cold eyes.

As soon as they caught Arno's gaze, they collectively shuddered.

"Put on the best muffler and don't leak any sound."

"shot."

"You can leave after that. You only need to leave one person to hide around the corner and rush into the room after a while."

Arno said again.

People looked at each other, and finally the person who had taken Arnold's money stood up.

He gritted his teeth and pointed the gun at Arno.

"Shoot, don't hesitate, don't move your hands."

Arno smiled at him and said softly.

boom,

Silent gunfire.

One sound,

Then two more sounds.
