call.....

There was a faint breath, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, but what they saw was of little value. It could be described as nothing.Everyone looked at the empty position and waited.

The old man also stood up and pounced in the direction of the sound, but to no avail. What she pounced on was just a piece of air, but the slightly curved straw under her body told the old man that there had indeed been someone here.

call.....

The black blade in his hand was swung in the direction of the sound, but it was still just a piece of air.

The voice could be said to be very close to the old man, but the figure never appeared in her eyes. Where was the person who made the voice?The old man bit it, trying to calm the irritability in his heart and let his breathing gradually calm down.

Being able to hear breathing means that this person is very close to him, but what is very strange is that even though he is so close, he still cannot be seen. What method was used to make himself disappear from his eyes? It does not count as disappearing. , at least the sound of breathing can confirm that he is around.

Where, exactly where!

The old man started to move, and the speed was still so slow. It should be said that it was even slower. She had to pause for a long time every step she took. She was so focused, but she still couldn't find the non-existent person.But there was an extremely evil smile on her lips.

There is no one around, but the voice tells you that there is someone beside you, so should you believe your eyes or your ears?Do you believe that there is no one around or do you believe that there are people around?

No, no, judging from the overwhelming wheat stalks, there are definitely people here. There is nothing wrong with the ears, so it’s the eyes. My own eyes deceived me?How can it be!what is going on?

call......

call.....

The sound of breathing sounded in the ears again, and just when the old man was about to pounce again, there was another sound of breathing behind him, and the old man stopped. Two people?

wrong!These are not two people. There cannot be two people with exactly the same breathing sound.In other words, it's impossible for anyone to have exactly the same breathing sound.

The old man walked to the place where the sound came from, squatted down, and looked for something.Not long after, she seemed to have found what she was looking for. She opened up the soil buried on the surface of the wheat field and took out a special small device with a transparent silk thread on it. She pulled it gently.

Huh...huh...huh...

Breathing sounds from all directions rushed towards the old man like a tide, one sound drowned out the other, and she was submerged in the endless tide of breathing sounds.

Ding!

The old man crushed the small thing in his hand with a little force, and those annoying sounds finally stopped.

"It's a very interesting gadget, don't you think so?" The old man raised his head and spoke to the empty wheat in front of him.

"Why do you still think that you have really succeeded in deceiving me with this toy? Although your little toy is indeed quite interesting, you are looking down on the soldiers and the hidden stream!"

The silver dagger in the old man's hand drew a beautiful arc in the air and stabbed with a fierce and fierce momentum, towards... towards... the air?

Ding!

Incredibly, the silver dagger suddenly stopped in the air, as if something had blocked it, but what was even more incredible was that the mass of air in front of the dagger gradually became denser, and finally Sylfenfurt appeared holding the hidden sword. figure.

The old man smiled cruelly, jumped up, and kicked away Sylfenfurt's hidden sword. When he turned around, the short black awl in his hand pierced Sylfenfurt's shoulder.

Hilfenfurt, whose shoulder was injured, tried to push the old man away, but the old man hugged her arm without retreating, spread his legs and clamped the girl's neck, and pulled hard.The girl's body spun several times in the air before falling to the ground, and then a silver-white dagger pierced her abdomen.

puff!

Blood spattered on the old man's face, clothes, and even hair. The old man covered in blood gave a victor's smile, like a demon in hell who fully enjoyed the pleasure of killing, evil and crazy.

"Where is the legendary Duke?" The old man put the dagger on Hilfenfurt's neck.

"Ahem... Haha... Until now... what do you think this threat... is of any use? I'm already... dead... This won't scare you at all. I cough..."

"But... don't worry..."

"...cough cough...cough cough..."

"There is nothing wrong with her, but... I don't really want to tell you... unless... you tell me... how you... found me..."

The girl fell in the wheat field, and the large emerald-green straw beneath her body became a temporary warm bed for the girl. The wind blew on her face, but it was as cold as frost, and the wounds seemed to have countless blades cutting them without knowing the hard work.

The strong wind messed up her hair, and the ears of wheat in the wheat field swayed with the wind, making a swishing whine.The rain washed her body, trying to remove the stains on her body, but no matter how many times the rain washed away, blood still poured out on the girl's belly and shoulders, and nothing could stop it.Her breathing was vague, and it could be seen that she would leave this world soon.

The old man was next to the girl, bent down and half squatting, holding the short black awl in his hand, close to the girl's throat.

"Where is the legendary Duke!"

The emotionless question came out of the old man's mouth again, cold and cruel.

"You are not dead yet. You still have a chance to live. Tell me where the legendary Duke is, and I will give you a chance to live. If you don't say a word, I will kill you now."

The cold touch restored some energy to the almost unconscious Hilfenford. She slowly raised her head and looked at the old man with tired eyes. Her vision was blurred, but she could barely see a vague figure. , my ears were also filled with messy noises, and I needed to concentrate all my energy to be able to hear what the old man said clearly.But even so, she still smiled...

"......you...."

"...How...how did you find me..."

Hilfenfurt's lips, stained red by blood, split open and he smiled.A lonely bolt of lightning flashed across the sky at just the right time, and for a moment the dark night was as bright as day. The old man saw the girl's pale face, and also saw the girl's bright and sad smile.There was no resentment, no anger, and no desire to survive. There was only tranquility. Staring into her eyes seemed to be staring at the calm sea, and the tranquility did not cause any waves.

This shouldn't be the look a dying person should have, or in other words, it's not the look a human being should have.As a human being, it is impossible to have no desire to survive. Humans are also living creatures, and survival is the instinct of living creatures.

"Aren't you... afraid of death?"

"...Then...can I survive? Your lie is obvious. How can I survive with such an injury? Besides, what can I do if I survive? The mission has failed. My brother and Huili are both If he dies, Holy Sakura will disappear soon. I have nothing, why should I live in a world with nothing...continue to live, the mission has failed...the ending of death may be for me Saying it is far better than...living...better..."

The girl raised her head with difficulty and looked at the old man. The latter did not put down the weapon in his hand because the life breath of the girl in front of him became gradually weaker.The rainwater exploded on the short cone, part of it fell on the girl's face and part of it fell on the old man's face.The sharp black blade shone with a chilling light in the darkness.

"Don't everyone have nothing when they are born? Isn't it natural for each of us to want to live a safer and better life? There is nothing better than being alive. If so, it must be that I still live a superior life, a superior and happy life."

Tears rolled down the girl's pale and haggard face, mixed with the rain, and dripped on the ground under her feet.The girl closed her eyes, but tears couldn't stop overflowing from her eyes. All the past events began to linger in her mind, including the scenes of her acting coquettishly with her father since childhood, and playing with the legendary Duke. Noisy scene...

Scenes of skipping classes at school and playing carefree and lawless with classmates......

I read about the scene where the prince and the girl broke through all kinds of obstacles and fell in love with each other...

And...remembering every bit of life with my brother who always protected and cared for me...

"...I...really don't want to die..."

Tears continued to overflow from these closed eyes.

"but......"

She kept crying and sobbing...

"I don't even want to live alone..."

"I was an abandoned baby. I grew up in an orphanage. The orphanage disappeared a few years ago."

Not wanting to live alone, the old man began to repeat a sentence in her heart. A green figure appeared in her mind, and a boyish nun also appeared.

"I have been alone since I was born, and I grew up alone. I am not an excellent person. I know very well how inferior I am. Maybe I will never be able to truly understand what a companion is in my life, and I will never be able to understand it. Why is it so lonely without a companion that you have no motivation to live?"

"As a despicable person, all I can do is try my best to survive, and carefully survive in various desperate situations. Kind people make me feel dirty. All I can do is survive, and what I want to do is It is to live a happy and superior life. And what I will do is to try my best to live."

Hilfenfurt stopped sobbing, or maybe she didn't have the strength to cry anymore. The fact that she hasn't died or fainted yet shows that her survival ability is very tenacious. Her weak eyes are already half-closed, and she doesn't know when. She would close her mouth completely. She looked at the old man with difficulty, organized her speech with difficulty, and spat out these words from her mouth one by one.

"...I...will tell you where the legendary Duke is...but can you...please...can you tell me...where did I fail to do a good job...and was discovered by you? Found a flaw..."

Under the pitch-black sky, the lightless wheat field was so dark that one could hardly see anything. The only thing that could see through everything was the old man's golden eyes, looking down at Hilfenford on the ground.

One second....

Two seconds....

Three seconds...

Ten seconds passed quickly, but neither of them continued to speak. After a long silence, the old man finally broke the silence and opened his mouth.

"I don't know how you can hide yourself in front of others, but this is really amazing. Even if you stand next to me, I can't find you. Yes, this is really amazing. Ability, but it is precisely because of this that you were discovered by me."

"After you found out, you didn't choose to run away. Instead, you set up these little toys." The old man took out the little toys that had just confused her.

"These small toys are equipped with silk threads. By pulling the silk threads to operate these toys, these toys make sounds similar to human breathing, which attracts my attention. There is no mistake in this point, these small toys do a good job. Trick me around."

"But human breathing sounds can vary from light to heavy. Different people will have slightly different breathing sounds at different times, not to mention there are multiple people. However, the sound emitted by your small device is exactly the same. This is completely No way. Just throw away for a moment the idea that it was a real person, it could have been something small."

The old man took out a small thing that Sylfen had placed and gently pulled the silk thread connecting the car to the small thing.

A faint breathing sound came from the little thing.

"Sure enough, everything is as I thought. It is really just some little things that can make sounds. There are many wires connected to the little things, but there is only one line that can control the sound of these little things. You deliberately made a lot of extra threads. Even after being discovered, I was fooled into thinking that it was my actions that touched these threads and triggered the switch."

"But if it was my actions that triggered the mechanism, I touched so many threads, but only two small devices rang. But after discovering it, I lightly touched those threads, and they all rang again. This This means that it is not me who is operating at all, but someone around me who is deliberately acting in order to coordinate with my movements."

"And as long as you know that there are other people around you who control these threads, you can easily find the person who controls the threads through these threads. Naturally, you can also find your location."

"Do you think that if no one can see you, you will be safe? That you can stand beside the enemy calmly?"

"I have seen ninjutsu, although it is just some low-level ninjutsu, but it can make hard stones, water and fire appear out of thin air, and it can make people invisible. Although I have not heard of it, since ninjutsu is like this It’s incredible, and it’s not impossible to be able to make people invisible or other hidden ninjutsu.”

"Once you figure out your tricks, finding your spot is pretty easy."

After the girl got the answer she wanted, she raised a finger and pointed at a place in the wheat field.The old man followed the direction she pointed and found the legendary Duke, while she completely collapsed in the rain and closed her eyes with a smile on her face.
