This villain, please exercise some restraint.

Could it be that... the one who just escaped... wasn't Temperance?

Thinking of this possibility, Qi Dasheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the place where the black clothes once existed.

A slightly shorter figure slowly walked out from behind the tree.

It was a guy who looked like Shota in a light brown suit. It seemed that he was aware of his gaze. Shota's brown eyes blinked and then he twitched the corners of his mouth.

The looming sharp tiger teeth make his seemingly harmless appearance seem a little more threatening.

"Ah, you discovered me."

Shota spoke with emotion, but his voice did not rise or fall at all.

His eyes stayed on the advanced locator on Qi Dasheng's wrist for a moment, and then wandered to Qi Dasheng's mask.

"If a person wears a mask, there is a 99% chance that the face hidden under the mask will be difficult to see."

"There's a one percent chance that it's... so beautiful."

"The provocateur, I think, you are the former."

When Qi Dasheng heard this, the confusion on his face because of the identity of the visitor disappeared immediately. His fingers unconsciously clenched into fists, and he was about to launch an offensive against "Temperance".

But what Shota said next gave him pause.

"Don't be so angry. It's not that I'm biased against you, but - I've already seen the one percent, so... using the elimination method, you can only belong to the former."

"But judging by your reaction - I guessed it, right?"

As if he said something funny, Shota narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed, inexplicably wild.

But the next moment, a yellow figure struck towards him like lightning.

But this sudden attack was destined to fail.

The shot boy grinned, and the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared, and then, like a ghost, moved behind the masked young man.

He stretched out his not too big hand and patted Qi Dasheng on the shoulder.

"It's not good to be so irritable. What an old guy did just now has already made me on the verge of anger. Why, do you want to add more fuel to the fire?"

The red light on his wrist became more dazzling due to the closeness of the restraint. Almost as soon as the boy finished speaking, Qi Dasheng felt a pain in his shoulder.

With a "click" sound, cold sweat dripped from Great Sage Qi's forehead, and at the same time, his right arm hung down feebly.

This guy, this "Temperance" is not the Temperance in his memory, but... this NPC also named Temperance is not a bit stronger than the Temperance in his memory.

Qi Dasheng understood that he had hit a brick wall.

One hand easily broke the bones of his body that had been strengthened several times. It was hard for him to imagine how powerful it was.

"You're not Temperance at all...who are you? Where's the original Temperance?"

As soon as the boy let go of his hand on the young man in front of him, he saw the masked young man duck away and cautiously distance himself from him.

Are you scared...?

This realization made his mouth grin again.

Just know how to be afraid.

"Who am I...Obviously, in your opinion, am I not just temperate?"

He spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, but the next moment, the smile on his lips turned evil.

"But you can also call me...Xi."

"Little Ant, tell the truth, did you know the former Temperance?"

He asked, with interest in his brown eyes.

Qi Dasheng held his powerless and drooping right arm with one hand. Shota's gaze across from him followed him like a shadow, with a strong sense of aggression. He had no doubt that as long as he had the idea of ​​​​escape, the next moment, this guy could easily catch up.

This brand new... moderation is so powerful that it feels a bit like cheating.

He rarely encounters beings who can absolutely crush him in terms of strength. The opponent's "temperance" is one of them.

In desperation, he nodded bravely.

Now it seems that the NPC Temperance has been replaced, and even the organization's locator can only locate the location of the new Temperance.

Is this still something the employer expects to be taught a lesson?

Maybe he should talk to his employer about this issue.

If the employer wants to continue this mission, then, I am afraid that no one of the thugs can take on this "S" level mission alone, whose combat power has been expanded many times.

Xi's eyes lit up, "Great, I was worried about not being able to find control. Since you recognize him, then——"

As he spoke, Xi had already arrived in front of Qi Dasheng. He raised his head slightly and pulled the masked young man's still intact left arm without refusal. Light purple spots of light fell from his palm, and eventually turned into paper cranes in the young man's palm. texture.

"This...is this?"

Qi Dasheng stared at the lavender paper crane pattern on his palm with surprise on his face.

"It's just a little trick."

Xi smiled and then let go of his hand.

"You should be glad that you met Qian Qian, otherwise... based on the offense you just committed against me, I would have broken off your hands and feet, and then sent you to the beast's lair in the Star Dou Forest."

"I know, maybe you are not afraid of death, maybe you will be resurrected again, but... the pain of being bitten by wild beasts and dying, believe me, you don't want to experience it."

"Little ant wearing a mask, I just lost one of your arms today. I'm in a good mood and won't argue with you. If someone suspected of being a former temperance guy appears, remember to call me in your heart."

"Xi" glanced at the purple paper crane pattern on Qi Dasheng's palm, stretched out a hand, and patted Qi Dasheng's other intact shoulder. Because of his height, this action seemed a bit inconsistent.

But if coupled with the strong sense of oppression around him and the understatement of his words, this kind of momentum can almost wash away those slight feelings of disobedience.

Qi Dasheng nodded immediately and cooperated very smoothly.

He is not stupid. The power of the new temperance npc in front of him is a bit unbelievable. Since he can't be tough, he can only let it go and avoid its edge.

Everything needs to be agreed in advance, although...he has never really seen the face of the former temperance.

The guy was nowhere to be seen all day long, and he had a hard time looking for him.

He may not have a clear understanding of former abstinence.

But he would never say this at this moment, because from the words of Xin Jie in front of him, he knew that recognizing Jie was the biggest reason why he chose to "let go" himself.

"Ah hahaha, Mr. Xi, it just so happens that I also want to settle a score with Temperance! This guy has offended so many people. When I think of him, I feel so hateful that I want to cut him into pieces!!"

"It was just a coincidence and a mistake in judgment that almost hurt you by mistake."

Great Sage Qi considered the words and then continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the little face of Shota in front of him seemed to soften a lot.

Even the whole person doesn't seem so aggressive anymore.

Xi curled his lips, put a hand on his chin, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that my predecessor can't do anything serious, but... he has made a lot of enemies."

"In the end... I did something like that again... No wonder, it gave me a chance to rise to the top."
