This villain, please exercise some restraint.

"Why do you have to be sneaky? As long as the 'bug' is there, all the secrets and all the shackles will be opened for you."

"Mian" followed the guidance of the foreign girl's fingers and looked at the restraint hidden in the cloak.

He stood there quietly. If he had not spoken, he would have left quietly after witnessing all this.

"Mian" knows that temperance will do this.

Temperance brought it here, to the Central Plains. If the Gu refiner is the "mother" who gave it life, then Temperance is its "father".

But this "father" seems not to be responsible at all. Not only is he unwilling to communicate with his "child", he is also unable to devote half of his love to himself.

Judging from the knowledge it now understands, the "child" should have been cared for and cared for by his father.

Why can't moderation do it?

He seems to just regard himself as a tool, and he has no doubt that, with his temperate temperament, when he has no value, he will choose to... abandon it without hesitation.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you...have always been valuable to "father"...that's all.

So...it can't give "Father" everything, so...it has to hold back.

Just to keep myself from losing value.

Regarding what Mian said, Temperance simply chose to ignore it.

This insect only needs to do what he is told, and there is no need to say any unnecessary words to show his loyalty.

He didn't want to hear it either.

"The issuance of access tokens for the Tower Climbing Trial can be stopped. These are enough for now."

"According to the news from the magician, the woman is not dead yet, and the other two members of the protagonist group are treating her. Maybe it won't be long before this 'chess piece' that took the magician and I a lot of experience to break into the protagonist group. will be reactivated."

"When the time comes, the Tower Climbing Trial will be your home court. The woman and the magician planted slave Gu for them respectively. Plus A Qiao and a powerful foreign aid I found... can ensure that everything is foolproof."

Temperance elaborates its plan to "Sleep".

"Do you understand?"

He raised his head slightly and looked at Mian, who had walked in front of him at some point.

The eyebrows hidden under the cloak frowned.

The next moment, a slender hand gently and quickly lifted up his exaggerated black cloak hat.

Control's dark eyes looked straight into Mian's pair of narrow phoenix eyes.

The phoenix eyes were slightly curved, and the clear voice unique to the young man reached Temperance's ears.

"Father, you are even more... beautiful than I imagined."

The next moment, "Mian" felt the cold tip of the knife touching his neck.

Temperance was not just showing off, he was using all his strength to try to cut through the seemingly thin layer of skin, but the short blade that came casually in his hand could not break through that layer of skin anyway.

how so......

"...It's so cute. With your strength, how could you possibly hurt me? I'm...your child——"

"enough!"

Temperature cooling is interrupted.

In the dark pupils, there was a flash of indifference and a flash of anger, but there was nothing that Mian wanted to see.

"I remember telling you that I was Temperance."

He threw away the dagger like trash, stretched out his hand, and grasped the collar of the smiling boy in front of him, "Remember what I said, and don't make me say it a third time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Temperance pulled on his hood, turned around, and disappeared.

He really didn't have a good way to deal with this "bug". He couldn't beat it again and again. There wouldn't be any refutation from the other side, but - it was already trying to break through his bottom line again and again.

Well-behaved and yet...evil.

This is all Temperance's current impression of the bug.

However, this situation is only temporary. After he finishes using the bug to complete the task... he will definitely give this disgusting "bug" an ending that makes it worse than death.

"Mian" stood in the empty hall, looking steadily at the dagger abandoned not far away.

Just now, Temperance used that dagger to try to end it. It knew that Temperance had this determination, and if he could do it, he... would definitely do it.

However, today's trial let him know that this was far from reaching the limit of temperance and endurance.

"It's so beautiful...temperance."

"Mian" squinted his eyes, as if thinking about it.

The beautiful yet cruel...father...is so attractive to him.

"Ah Qiao."

"Mian" cried softly.

The girl came to him mechanically.

The boy in red caressed the girl's soft head, as if touching his own pet.

"I'll give you a change of taste today... Have you seen those seven people lying on the ground? That's your ration... You must have suffered a lot of injuries following your father in the past few days, and you have lost weight. There should be more Make up for it.”

The foreign girl responded to him with silence.

"Mian" is already used to this, "Go ahead."

After receiving the order, the girl pounced on Jian San who was lying on the ground, took off his clothes, revealed the hidden sharp mouthparts, and began to feast on the large pieces.

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with the smell of blood.

......

On the other side, there is a remote place in the Star Dou Forest.

The magician fiddled with the magic wand in his hand that was now as short as his index finger, and his eyes covered by black cloth were facing the direction of Temperance.

"Temperance, I feel that my strength will be exhausted in the near future."

"With every spying, every disguise, every concealment of information, my power will be consumed. Maybe... maybe at some point, I will disappear quietly."

"The existing power no longer allows my eyes to pry, so - in order to prevent unnecessary loss of power, I chose to close my eyes."

The wind blew through the white strands of hair on Temperance's forehead, and the slender hem of his clothes also blew along with it.

Temperance blinked, hearing the words, with a little reluctance on his face.

"Magician, your disappearance is the same as that of the protagonist group. It is not a real death... right?"

he asks.

"For you, my existence is probably the real death... When my power is exhausted and I disappear from this world, I will never appear again."

"But don't be sad, maybe I'll be...happy somewhere else."

"I really was...what was I thinking, how could you feel...sad?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the magician chuckled and denied.

At least in his memory, he would not feel sad because of someone's passing.

I'm a little bit - self-indulgent.

Is it because the trust and understanding shown by Temperance in the past made the originally vicious existence in his mind somewhat shaken?

The magician cannot explain clearly. Sometimes, the more he understands, the more unclear he feels.

"Why wouldn't I feel sad? Magician... We are partners who have worked closely together. If my success is destined to come at the expense of your death... sadness seems inevitable."

Temperance turned around and looked at the eyes covered by black cloth with his dark eyes.

His words were emotional, but his face was quite cold.

He thought that the magician had stopped using his eyes because his power was nearly exhausted as he said, but what he didn't know was——

Through the black cloth, the magician saw the familiar expression of restraint, indifference and cold-bloodedness.

This also made his thoughts that were a little shaken due to some changes in restraint disappear in an instant.
