【Jie Mai】Rose and Sword

"Huchi...huchi..." A figure in a gray cloak ran forward vigorously. Nabu frowned and looked at the red light dangling around him, feeling agitated in his heart: Why can't I shake it off!

He pressed his beating heart, which was getting more and more violent, upset but not afraid or flustered. This kind of danger and excitement that accompanied him was the reason why he was willing to come here after receiving that inexplicable letter.

Looking back at the tall, thin figure who was looming, he was walking at a seemingly unhurried pace, but it happened to be extremely fast.He was still humming an elegant ditty in his deep and charming voice.Looking at the pale smiling mask, Naibu frowned even tighter. Turning his head, he quickened his pace and ran towards the pile of debris in front of him. As long as he reached the pile of debris in front, he could use steel Sprint tossed him off.

While running, Naib recalled a series of experiences after he came here.

It was a heavy rainy night, he drove an old off-road vehicle through the dense and gloomy jungle, and arrived at this gorgeous but weird manor in darkness and haze.

Carrying his luggage, Naib pushed open the dark iron gate, and cautiously walked through the overgrown garden. He was puzzled. A rich and noble manor, a manor that looked magnificent from the outside, had A garden that is clearly barren and poorly tended does not make sense.How can a person in that position not care about something that is almost a facade like a garden.Naib began to doubt: whether the manor owner can really fulfill his promise.

Walking through the garden, Naib came to the door of the villa. After confirming that there was no problem, he slowly pushed open the red-painted door in front of him.

What surprised him was that there were quite a few people in the house. Many candles were lit in the room, and the candles were flickering. Under the flickering light, he vaguely saw faces with different expressions in the room.

Some people were obviously taken aback by him, and looked at him cautiously and fearfully, while others sat without raising their heads, showing a numbness all over their bodies.It seems that these people have experienced some bad things.

Naibu's sharp gaze swept over the people in the house little by little, causing some people to tremble again. After sizing up almost everyone in the house, and making sure there was no threat, Naibu walked into the hall slowly, The door of the house slowly closed behind him.

Naib was not startled by the movement of the door, he took off the hood that he had buckled up to keep out the rain, revealing a handsome face and silver-gray mid-length hair, his black pearl-like eyes carefully watched Among the people in the house with different expressions, he said indifferently and calmly:

"Neb Sabeda, a retired mercenary. He came to this manor in order to regain his passion on the battlefield because he received a strange letter. Please give me your advice in the future."

After Naib's voice fell, the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and it took a while.

Finally, a girl with straw-blond hair wearing a straw hat and a green gardener's suit came over.He is also the only one who can be regarded as okay since Naibu entered the door.

She stood in front of Neb, looked into the eyes that were as black as the night here, and stretched out her hand: "I am Emma Woods, as you can see, I am a gardener. I came to find an old friend , from now on, all of us present will probably be your companions."

Naibu was a little surprised, his black eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at those green eyes. It seems that not all of these people are cowards.He reached out his hand and shook Emma quickly: "Hello, Miss Woods, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Sabeda." Emma withdrew her hand, let's come and do it.Then she took Naibu to the sofa in the middle of the hall and sat down.

Thinking about what the gardener said, Neb asked curiously: "Excuse me, may I ask if Miss Woods has found the person she was looking for?" He wanted to make sure that this place could give him what he wanted.

Emma blinked and showed a slightly sarcastic smile: "I found it, so I guess I found it."

Naibu frowned, it seemed that it was not that simple here, and he tapped his suitcase lightly with his fingers.

On the other side of him, sat a doctor. Because of her timidity at first, Nabu didn't give her any attention until she suddenly greeted him: "You, hello, Mr. Sabeda .I am Amy Riddell, yes, I am a doctor." She paused, "If you are attacked by regulators in the game, I, I can heal you!" In the following sentence, she was like It took a lot of courage.

Only then did Naib turn his head, and began to look at this lady doctor seriously. She was wearing a doctor's uniform with the logo, her hair was meticulously arranged, revealing an obvious upper-class temperament, and, upper-class weakness.But under Naibu's scrutiny, she remained calm, with a strong gentleness.

Nebu was kinder to her, and responded to her overtures: "Hello, miss." But he also grasped the point, "What is the game? What is the regulator?"

"I, I came here for money." Amy began to confuse Naibu, "The owner of the manor lures people to come here with various reasons, and they can only leave after completing the game he set. Game In this game, we need to crack five cipher machines and open the door to escape to end the game."

"Of course, if two or more cipher machines are turned on, and all teammates are sent back to the manor by the regulators, you can escape through the cellar, which is considered to be the completion of the game." In front of Naibu, a gaze flickered, leading The man in the shabby hat took Amy's words, and he kept grinding the flashlight in his hand, "I'm Kreacher Pearson, yes, I'm a philanthropist, and I'm here to raise money for charity."

A cringeworthy, dodgy-eyed philanthropist, funny. "Thank you." Naib nodded to him, "Then what is a supervisor?"

Hearing Naib's question, "The Philanthropist" trembled involuntarily, and stopped answering Naib's question.Except for the Miss Gardener who had spoken to Naibu at the beginning, she finally spoke again: "The one who prevented you from completing the game." It seems that no one wants to talk about this topic, "When you enter the game, everything will be clear Already." Nabu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

An uncle with a beard on his face tapped his cane lightly, and said to Naibu seriously: "Here, you must, must keep writing a diary, otherwise terrible things will happen, you understand?"

Seeing that the other party didn't mean to make a joke at all, Naibu knew that this was necessary: ​​"Understood, thank you for letting me know." Strange rule, he thought.

Then it was time to rest. Everyone in the hall returned to their rooms. Looking at their backs, Naibu finally chose an empty room at random, put down the suitcase, washed up briefly, and slept until dawn.

After Nabu spent two days peacefully in the manor, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Mr. Nabu Sabeda, please get ready, your first game is about to begin."

Do you want to start?A trace of anticipation flashed in Naib's eyes. God knows how peaceful and boring the two days he spent here were. He came here to get back the excitement of being on the battlefield in the past.

Of course, Naib will not go directly to the game blindly. In the past two days, through intentional or unintentional temptations, he has already understood most of the game.All in all, this is an exciting game.

It's meal time now, Nebu saw the hands of three people on the table paused, and the cowardly lawyer Freddy was so scared that he dropped his fork, holding his head and trembling, it seems that these three people are going to fight He is no longer a teammate in the game, Nebu frowned, he doesn't like this timid and weak lawyer.Seeing this scene, the others breathed a sigh of relief silently in their hearts.

In the end, those who want to participate in the game have to finish their meal. After all, only when they are full can they have the strength to fight against the regulators, right?

After eating, Naib returned to his room, and took out a set of overall brown cloak with red edges from the suitcase, with a long slanted drape hanging down from the right shoulder.To show his importance, Neb put on this cloak that accompanied him through countless battles—the Assassin's cloak.

After putting on the cloak, he pulled up the hood, hiding his handsome face in the shadows, the only thing he could see clearly were those falcon-like black eyes.Putting on the best steel wristband, Nabu's fingers continued to scrub the pattern on it, feeling the sudden dizziness, he slowly brought up a smile, really looking forward to this game.

Soon, Nebu appeared on a long table. Besides him and the lawyer, there were also Amy the doctor and Emma the gardener. They only had a simple exchange, and their vision changed again. The "scenery" in their eyes changed It became a pile of weeds, and the light of the cipher machine was looming in the mist. It seemed that this was a long-abandoned arsenal.

Naib chose a direction at random and walked over there, where there was a cipher machine. Fortunately, Miss Gardener was deciphering it.

Naib walked to her side, guarded her in a proper position, and did not go up to add to the chaos.Miss Gardener's deciphering ability is already very proficient, and she quickly deciphered most of it. At this time, Naib's heart suddenly beat extremely fast, and he knew—the regulator is coming!

Naib immediately approached the gardener and asked her to hide in the cabinet next to her. The gardener didn't delay, and immediately hid in. Naib took over her work and continued to decipher.

The sound of the cipher machine disturbed him. Whenever he heard the sound of the cipher machine, he would think of some very bad things, such as the blood dripping from his teammates on the battlefield. His speed slowed down uncontrollably.Fortunately, he didn't want to decipher it, he just wanted to attract the attention of the regulators.

Naib kept looking around, but he didn't see the supervisor.Suddenly, all the fine hair on his body was sculpted, and his battle-tested instincts screamed danger.

Naibu turned around and ran, and at the same time a crash sounded where he was before, a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead, feeling a burst of fear and joy in his heart, he accelerated his pace.

A tall and thin figure emerged from the mist, and he looked at his sharp hands grabbing the air, showing a smile full of interest.

Naib knew the identity of the supervisor of this game - Jack the Ripper!He was the last opponent he wanted to meet in the first game!

During the two days of getting along, Nebu also got a preliminary understanding of some information about the supervisor. Jack is not the strongest one in terms of individual strength.But he was able to become the one with the most victories because he was cunning enough.An opponent with nothing but force is not difficult to deal with, and an opponent with qualified force and IQ is absolutely not to be underestimated.

Neb started to take Jack to a distance, and Jack followed unhurriedly, as gracefully as a nobleman walking in his back garden.But his speed can follow him like a shadow, making it impossible for Naibu to get rid of him.There was still nothing around that Neb could rely on. Several times he felt Jack's infinitely approaching breath, and his sense of danger was rising.Now Naibu finally felt the long-lost passion and drive he had on the battlefield.

Withdrawing his endless thoughts, Neb had already run to the pile of debris, and Jack almost caught up with him, but Neb did not act rashly, but first set the direction.

At this time, Jack also came to Nebu, and Nebu didn't run away in a panic immediately. He first took Jack's knife abruptly to avoid the effect of a knife slash, and then took advantage of Jack's limited movement for a few seconds after an attack. Use Iron Dash to get away from here.

After the speed slowed down, Naibu ran further away, and did not slow down until his heartbeat slowed down a little bit.

At this time, the pain spread all over the body. "Damn it..." Nabu cursed, Jack's knife just now touched his old wound, cold sweat rolled down his cheeks, Nebu's footsteps gradually became unstable under the stimulation of pain, and his forward movement began to stagger.

On the other side, Jack looked at the back of the mercenary who quickly disappeared, ah, he ran away, very smart, this new kid.

Jack stretched out his hand to look at the claw blade that injured the mercenary just now. It was stained with the blood of the mercenary. On the face under the mask, a smile with some interest emerged little by little, as if the hunter had discovered something interesting. prey.

Thinking of the slanted cloak that was blown by the wind when the mercenary ran away just now, Jack stroked the grimace cloak on his left shoulder with his hand without a knife, and a wicked light flashed in his eyes.

In the end, he hummed his favorite song, and instead of chasing the running mercenaries along the bloodstains, he turned around leisurely and gracefully walked in another direction.There, there was just the sound of a cipher machine getting an electric shock.
