Apocalypse Magician

one two three four……

Li Xingkong was hiding in a dark corner, counting the time second by second.

A previous miscalculation triggered the alarm, and the Killer King organization has begun an all-out search.

Just now, a man with the strength of a great swordsman appeared in the passage ahead. Li Xingkong estimated that it would take him seven seconds to pass completely, and he could only leave for the next place where he could temporarily hide when there was no one in the passage.

Now that they have alerted the enemy, the Killer King organization will immediately block all exits from the underground palace. Trying to escape at this moment is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap.

So Li Xingkong planned to hide the account books in a safe and hidden place, then return to his room and pretend to know nothing.

Therefore, the current task is to complete all this as quickly as possible while avoiding everyone, and rush back before the Killer King organization searches the room.

Feeling that the patrolling swordsman had left the passage, Li Xingkong stood up and headed to the next intersection.

With the fastest speed of a swordsman and the assistance of levitation magic, Li Xingkong estimated that it would take ten seconds to cross the passage. And during these ten seconds, no one must appear in this passage with nowhere to hide, otherwise once discovered, there will be no chance of escape.

Ten seconds passed by one by one, like Li Xingkong's throbbing heartbeat.

After successfully arriving at a hiding place, Li Xingkong's forehead was covered with sweat and his breathing became more rapid. Sure enough, lurking in the Killer King organization, he was walking on thin ice at all times. He accidentally triggered the alarm before. Li Xingkong had already made one mistake and could not make another one.

After a cursory observation of the surrounding environment, Li Xingkong decided to temporarily hide the account books here. After all, if the matter is revealed, no one can escape the search. It is too dangerous to carry this kind of thing with you.

After passing through several passages again in the same way, Li Xingkong finally returned to his room. The moment he closed the door, Li Xingkong dared to relax for a moment. His body seemed to be exhausted and he leaned against the door with his back, breathing heavily. His clothes had already been soaked with sweat.

Along the way, Li Xingkong believed that he had left no traces and was safe at least for now. Next, you only need to find the right time to retrieve the account book within two days, and then escape from the underground palace intact, and the trip will be completed successfully.

From this point of view, the so-called Killer King organization is nothing more than that, and it is not necessarily difficult to sneak in. Li Xingkong couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart.

However, at the next moment, the closed door was suddenly kicked open with such force that Li Xingkong, who was leaning against the door, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Where were you just now?" Among the several people who appeared at the door, the first person asked Li Xingkong's whereabouts directly.

"I have been in the room and have never gone out." Li Xingkong pretended to be surprised, but his heart was already at peace. The other person asked this question, so naturally he didn't realize that he had just gone out.

"Who can prove it?" The leader's face was expressionless, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

"I am the only one in the room, so naturally no one can prove it." It is strange that someone can prove it in a room alone. Li Xingkong's answer is quite satisfactory, "I dare to ask you, what happened?"

"Take it away!" The man did not answer Li Xingkong's knowing question. Instead, he waved his arms, and several people behind him immediately stepped forward and grabbed Li Xingkong's arms.

"What is this going to do?" Li Xingkong couldn't resist, and he didn't have the ability to resist. He could only show a look of confusion and injustice, "I was wronged!"

However, no one paid attention to Li Xingkong and just escorted Li Xingkong out of the room.

On the way to the prison, Li Xingkong reviewed all the details from his infiltration to this moment again and again. Except for accidentally triggering the alarm, he believed that he had left no trace.

Even if the account book is found, the burial place is still some distance away from the room, so he should not be directly suspected of it.

Li Xingkong really couldn't figure out where the flaw was exposed?

……

Imperial Magic School.

After bidding farewell to Mo Xianwu, Luo Yingxue wandered alone on the forest path.

The breeze carried the fragrance of plum blossoms, along with the unique fragrance of the morning. Taking a deep breath, I immediately felt refreshed. It seemed that the cold winter in the twelfth lunar month was not so cold after all.

After the final assessment, the school ushered in the winter vacation, and the new year is about to arrive.

Looking in the distance in the direction of the Holy Mountain Church, Luo Yingxue smiled. On the road to pursuing her original dream, she was able to get to where she is today step by step. In fact, she could not do without the help of many people.

Especially after the death of his family, in the last year of his magic high school career, the relative who always mailed him money on time. During that almost helpless time, this material support was also the only spiritual pillar, which made me feel the love and warmth, and that I was not destitute.

Now, his future is clear, and the Imperial Magic School is a place that countless people in the Fantasy Continent dream of. In the future, he is likely to become a noble magician in the Holy Mountain Church. Although it is not yet a glorious return to his hometown, it is enough to make him shine.

Why not pay a visit as New Year's Day is approaching? After all, if you receive kindness from others, you should repay it with springs.

As for the specific identity of the other party, even though there was never a signature in the letter, in Luo Yingxue's memory, it seems that only her father Ren Feng and a sibling brother are still alive, so it is not difficult to confirm .

However, when making this decision, Luo Yingxue thought of Li Xingkong's three-day appointment.

There was a moment of hesitation in my heart, but I couldn't shake the decision I had made. After all, he didn't agree at the time, and he didn't insist on it, so the three-day agreement was not actually finalized.

In the cherry blossom forest on the outskirts of the city, cherry blossoms bloom all year round. There will always be opportunities to appreciate them in the future. Luo Yingxue thought in her heart.

……

The underground palace of the Killer King organization branch.

The cold and dark prison was filled with the smell of blood and death.

Li Xingkong was firmly tied to the torture rack, surrounded by rattan irons and many blood-stained instruments of unknown purpose.

Along the way, Li Xingkong thought a lot and finally figured it out.

In fact, this seemingly seamless infiltration plan had unintentionally dug a trap for himself from the very beginning.

If the matter had not been exposed, then everything would be easy to say. However, in the current situation of alerting the enemy, the shortcomings of the plan were revealed.

I thought that since I had forged my identity for two months, the other party would not be able to find out the flaw the next day. Even if the account books were found, the other party would not do anything to me without real evidence.

It's a pity that this is not a government court, nor is it the Holy Mountain Church. There is no need for evidence to kill someone here, only that you have enough suspicion!

In the early morning of the second day after Li Xingkong entered the organization, the ledger was stolen. The timing was so coincidental that he was naturally the number one suspect.

Li Xingkong could even imagine that if the cause of this matter could not be found out in the end, in order to report to the superiors at the headquarters, he would most likely be treated as a scapegoat.

Perhaps, now is the moment of real crisis, and at such times, the past will always flash before people's eyes.

Li Xingkong thought of the time he spent with Luo Yingxue, practicing magic with her, and imagining the future with her. Even if they separated later, he would mail all the income from the mission to her in the name of "a certain relative". Even if he could not meet her, it was gratifying to think that she could still live a peaceful and peaceful life.

Speaking of which, if his life ended here, Li Xingkong would actually have many regrets.

It's a pity that I can't clear up the misunderstanding with Luo Yingxue, I regret that I can't see her realize her original dream with my own eyes, I regret that I can't accompany her to the end of her life...

However, Li Xingkong has never regretted, neither did he regret meeting Luo Yingxue, nor did he regret everything he had done for her. If he could live his life over again, Li Xingkong would still make the same choice...
