Leader Zai Fengping was killed

"I still chose to be the messenger bird."

Fyodor-kun sighed very lightly.

I'm not sure Gogol heard him.

Because Fyodor-kun's voice is really low.Mr. Fyodor and I are sitting very close to each other, only about sixty centimeters apart.Even so, with me being so close to Fyodor-kun, I almost didn't hear his words clearly.

From my guess, probably not.

In short, the expression on Gogol's face did not change.If you heard Fyodor-kun call him the "little bird of news", you should react somewhat.

"The answer to that question has already been guessed."

Fyodor stared at Gogol, and said in a normal voice: "Although I have thought about this possibility, I originally thought that Nikolai would not do this."

"Mmmm—there is no unexpected answer at all." Gogol spread his arms and raised them high, "As expected of Mr. Tuosi! I'm afraid he has seen me through!"

"But after all, I haven't fully understood it yet! I thought Tuo Sijun should know me best."

Gogol's voice suddenly sank: "Of course this is the choice I will make, and it is also my only choice."

"I do know that Zhi-kun has whispered something to you..." Fyodor-kun thought about it, "It's not appropriate."

He leaned on the sofa, looking very calm, as if everything was under control.

"However, I originally thought that Nikolai would not be easily bewitched by Zhijun. Now it seems that Zhijun is worthy of being Zhijun."

Mr. Fyodor turned his head to look at me, and said in an admiring tone: "Even Nikolai was controlled by Mr. Zhi without knowing it. Oh, it's really nerve-wracking to say it."

"Ah, ah, Mr. Fyodor, even if you say this now, it can't stop Nikolai from pursuing freedom."

I'm not at all surprised that "Fyodor-kun pointed the finger at me".

It's easy to understand!

Anyway, I guessed that Gogol might play a backstab in advance, and he had already prepared for it, and he would not suffer any damage from it, but Mr. Fyodor lost a useful tool after all. people.

And Nikolai—

He is not just a "useful tool man".

Leaving aside the uncontrollable part and the somewhat difficult personality, Nikolai is clearly easy to use plus in terms of supernatural powers and the degree of cooperation with the plan.

Among other things, if it becomes a "friend" relationship...Although it may be backstabbed for "breaking free from the shackles of friends", Nikolai is really good at talking to "friends".

When I was a temporary member of the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man", I asked Nikolai many times a day to use supernatural powers to help deliver items—including but not limited to crab meat dishes, tableware, cloaks, and so on.Every time, Nicholas agreed with a good temper, and never refused!

wow-

Thinking about it now, I still think Nikolai is very useful.

Super ~ convenient!No wonder Fyodor-kun likes him so much!

It is precisely because Nikolai is easy to use, and Mr. Fyodor uses it very smoothly. Therefore, Mr. Fyodor will feel a little dissatisfied with me when he loses such a useful tool because of me. No wonder.

"I'm just feeling sorry for Nikolai. What he thinks of as "freedom" is just another cage set by the ruler.Isn't it sad for Nikolai that even thoughts are controlled and manipulated? "

"Well, how do you say that?"

I'm a little puzzled by Fyodor-kun's current behavior.

This is what he does now—calling Gogol’s decision to backstab him “a result of my manipulation,” and trying to convince Gogol indirectly through a conversation with me.

What is the purpose of doing this?

"No matter how you say it, in order to gain true "freedom", Nikolai must get rid of the shackles from Mr. Fyodor.Maybe Nikolai will want to get rid of me later, but this will not affect the relationship between Nikolai and Fyodor-kun, will it? "

"Oh, is that how you bewitched Nikolai?"

Gogol has already decided to backstab, the part of the plan entrusted to him by Mr. Feodor has failed, and Mr. Feodor has to prepare for "being backstabbed".

If there is anything that can be redeemed now...

It's not about trying to save Gogol, is it?

"Ahaha, you can't talk about "bewitching" right?Mr. Fyodor seems to have mentioned it many times, bewitching, controlling, manipulating...as if Nikolai didn't have the ability to think for himself? "

"Nikolai, of course. But Zhijun, you are really good at manipulating people's hearts."

"You really flatter me too much, each other!"

Huh huh huh——

I feel really bad.

What about "watching Gogol and Mr. Fyodor turn against each other"?Ah, really, I had no intention of getting involved myself.

But it seems Mr. Fyodor doesn't want me to be just a spectator.Alas, too much enthusiasm can sometimes be bothersome.

"Ah, it seems to be a bit too dramatic." I tried to bring the topic back on track, "It should be Nikolai's stage. Speaking of which, what does Nikolai want to do with Fyodor-kun?"

"Actually, I don't mind waiting a little longer! Watching Tuo Si Jun and Zhi Jun communicate is also very interesting!"

Thank you for your compliment, but it’s unnecessary, I’d rather see your exchange with Fyodor-kun.

"Although I said that, but..."

Before I finished speaking, I was so shocked by the accident in front of me that I stopped speaking.

What came into sight was Gogol's raised cloak.The angle of the swing was so clever that it completely blocked my sight for a second, and when my sight was finally restored——

The entire glass room and all the items in the glass room, sofas, small round tables, burning scented candles, neatly arranged snack towers... disappeared from my eyes at that moment.

Except for the sofa I was sitting on and the teacup in my hand, the rooftop was empty, and neither Fyodor nor Gogol was there.

It was the moment when the cloak was raised——

I subconsciously stood up, walked to the edge of the roof and looked down.Objects such as the glass house and the sofa crashed and fell, breaking into small pieces in the air.The shards of glass reflected the neon light at night, which was extremely dazzling.

The moment he jumped off the roof, he activated his supernatural ability, connecting the entire glass house, including everything in the house as a whole, with the cloak, so when he fell, he also dragged the entire glass house down.

Except for the sofa under me and the teacup in my hand, it was still on the roof because of the reason of "disqualification in the world".Other than that, there is nothing to be seen on the rooftop...

"It seems that Nikolai and Zhijun lack some communication."

It was Fyodor-kun's voice.

I turned around and was a little surprised—well, not so surprised—to see Mr. Fyodor, fully dressed and intact.

Gogol's series of actions were so fast that it almost caught people off guard.It can be said that under normal circumstances, the possibility of taking the opponent away in a wave is very high.

But if Fyodor-kun has been prepared, no matter how high the success rate is, it will suddenly drop to "zero" in the face of a well-prepared Fyodor-kun.

"Mr. Fyodor?" I feigned surprise, "Why do you..."

"At this time, there is no need to play dumb anymore, Zhijun." Mr. Fyodor walked towards me, "It is thanks to Zhijun that I can stand here intact."

"Eh? Thanks to me? I don't remember doing anything to save Fyodor-kun from falling."

"Because neither I nor Zhijun can leave the rooftop until the end of the game." Fyodor-kun stopped half a meter away from me, "Under the restriction of the "book", I don't May be taken off the rooftop by Nikolai. "

"Ahaha—is that so?"

Alas, who is the one who is still pretending to be stupid at this time.

"I remember that the rules I wrote down didn't seem to be like this. Well, let me think... there should be a premise? "Unless you go to death", you can't leave. "

I stared at Mr. Fyodor: "So Mr. Fyodor who almost died in love with Nikolai just now, it is impossible to survive because of this."

"Huh—" Mr. Fyodor shook his head, and he let out a slightly exaggerated sigh of relief, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhi to add additional conditions. It's really thrilling. I almost fell down." gone."

"It's better to act more realistically, Fyodor-kun." I sighed, feeling very helpless, "Should I say "I didn't expect it" after I really fell? "

Fyodor-kun laughed: "If you really fall, you won't be able to talk to Zhi-kun anymore."

That's true.

If you can talk to me again after falling...it will become a ghost story.

"It's so durable. There is only one page, but it has been used for a long time unexpectedly."

After going through several plans and writing several scripts, there are still some leftovers, tsk, this is really unexpected.

"Oh, it's just the last bit of space. Because Zhijun has been trying to confuse Nikolai, so I took some protective measures just in case, but I didn't expect it to be really useful."

"Nikolai is no longer here, so you don't need to say nice words." I asked, "I'm more curious about what Mr. Fyodor said before, "I still chose to be the bird of the messenger." This is Fyodor Is the second role you plan for Nikolai? "

"It should be called an 'alternative option'. "

Fyodor-kun answered my question very simply, without being tricky.

"Of course I don't want Nikolai to choose this role, but I can't completely control Nikolai. In order to avoid too much influence on the plan because of Nikolai's free will, it is necessary to make him out of control. Sex is also taken into consideration.”

"But to be honest, although there have been similar protection measures in the past, it is the first time that it is actually used today."

"So——" I couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is the 'telling bird'? "

Is that what I mean?

"Until the results of the competition come out, neither Zhijun nor I can leave the rooftop."

"But if Nikolai really takes action and implements his plan, it means that Nikolai has confirmed my victory."

Fyodor-kun smiled.

"Even if Nikolai chooses to turn his back on me, he will eventually sing the carol of victory for me."
