Golden Darkness's Own Opinion

"Miss Eve, please try to save her life, I have something to ask her."

"can."

Replying briefly, Golden Darkness shook the black robe on her body, her raised hair unfolded and deformed in mid-air, and together with the fluttering hem of the clothes, the petite detective was completely hidden behind her.

She worries there are other assassins lurking in the shadows.

Before the assassin in front of him made his move, Golden Darkness didn't even see the slightest sign that she was an assassin. This was because she was controlled by someone with a special method until a certain behavior of Mellie just now triggered the change. medium?Or is it just pure acting skills?The golden darkness is not clear, the current killer only knows that the sensory ability she relies on for survival is no longer worth relying on in this situation, and every human being scanned by her pan-sensing may be hidden. enemy.

"Five seconds, can you protect yourself?"

"Although it's not like Miss Eve and you, if it's just for self-protection, I still have it."

Mellie smiled and took out an old-fashioned rifle from under the wheelchair. The length of the gun was more than one meter, so people couldn't help wondering how she could hide the rifle in such a limited space under the wheelchair without any trace.

"Ah."

Five sentences was enough time for the assassin in front of him to make a few more rounds of shooting, but after the golden darkness blocked Merleite behind him, the assassin who lost his target just looked forward dumbly, as if he was lost. Like a puppet without a soul—no, it was a puppet that had lost its soul. Now, perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as a puppet without a string.

Taking this scene into his eyes, the golden darkness narrowed his eyes dangerously.The information conveyed by the assassin's current state has given her enough confidence to try to take some targeted measures to resolve the current situation.

Lean forward, lean over.Just in an instant - not the kind of generalized concept that abstractly describes the extremely short time, but a real, quantified unit of time.Just within 0.12 seconds or even less in the blink of an eye, the golden darkness has already completed the acceleration movement, and launched a sprinting posture in the sudden strong wind.

This kind of extreme speed, maybe someone in this world can react before she approaches, but this should not be something that this little-known female Butei can do.

It shouldn't be.

The robes and hair were bound into a line by the powerful inertia, and the puppet-like assassin's sluggish pupils turned stiffly, and then unfolded and tore his own body in a movement that completely violated the structure of the human body and exceeded the limits of human beings. The hand speed that ordinary people can't achieve pulls the trigger of the firearm in his hand.

Her bullets sneaked through the openings exposed by the golden darkness, skimmed over the rushing killer, and still hit Mellie who was protected behind her.

"Is it just a one-time consumable?"

The physical laws of people on earth have never been applicable to killers from the universe, and the inertia that any person or thing on earth must obey cannot constrain her actions at all.The hair at the back of the golden dark head was like a whip whip, and the back hair lashed the passing bullets first.

The moment the hair came into contact with the bullet, the bullet, which had acquired strong kinetic energy under the action of the gunpowder, was whipped by the soft hair so that even the shuttle-shaped casing was deformed, and after a while, it returned to the opposite direction.

The gun in the assassin's hand was shattered by the counterattack bullets, and the disintegrating metal fragments flew and cut off her fingers and pierced into her arms. The blood dripping from the cut skin looked extremely tragic.Even so, the assassin used his intact left hand to take out a dagger from under his skirt as if he didn't realize it, and after aiming for a short time, he was about to throw it at Meluette.

Before that, the golden darkness that finally arrived in front of her sent a heavy hand knife to her side neck and knocked her down neatly.

"solved."

Without any mercy, the seriously injured girl was allowed to collapse on the ground, the golden darkness turned her head indifferently, and the detective in the wheelchair seemed to have not recovered from the quick fight in seconds Come on.

"After she regains consciousness, you can get the information you want from her."

"...is she still alive?"

Meruite looked at the fainted Butei in fear, the blood all over the ground made her feel a little dizzy.

"Is it really okay to not bandage this amount of bleeding?"

The human body is not capable of performing normal physiological functions to such an extent.

Shaking her head lightly, the bloody killer who had seen far more cruelty than this on the battlefield of the Milky Way was about to speak, when some sudden condensed energy made her body stiff, and the killer raised her head and followed the breath. Looking in the direction of her, in the corner of her eyes, in the dense shade of trees outside the window of the corridor, a bit of cold light quietly bloomed.

It was too late to talk to Mellie in detail, the golden darkness who didn't know the specific situation of the enemy outside the window grabbed Mellie's waist and rolled to a blind spot outside the shooting range.

"……what happened?"

Ignoring the question of the girl in his arms, he felt the golden darkness outside which was gradually fading away, and slowly got up. After seeing the situation in the aisle clearly, a tinge of annoyance appeared in the bloody eyes that were originally indifferent.

"...Miss Eve?"

"I'm sorry, Merliet Holmes."

The golden darkness put the girl down.

"Mission failed."

The detective who heard what she said was slightly taken aback, and followed her gaze, only to see a cold arrow stuck in the heart of the chest of the girl who was knocked to the ground by the golden darkness earlier.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the first victim finally appeared under the rice flag of the empire on which the sun never sets.

The Shadow of the End, Volume 147: Chapter 48 Chapter [-] Poison Bud

"We must send troops to rescue the trapped Royal Navy!"

"Rescue? If the remaining navy is also sent out, what should we do with the local defense? Have you thought about this issue, Your Royal Highness?"

"They are soldiers, and they are ready to dedicate themselves to the country before going out. The current battle damage is within an acceptable range."

"Well, yes. What's more, since a fleet has already fallen into the enemy's hands, the fleet sent to rescue may also fall into the same situation for the same reason. We haven't figured out [IoU] large-scale weather manipulation What exactly is the means, if there are other losses to the Royal Navy in the establishment, it will be a disaster for the United Kingdom, and we cannot take this risk."

"Furthermore, Your Royal Highness, can you be sure that the current situation is not a bait specially concocted by the counselors of [IoU] to seduce us?"

"You guys!" Lilith stared at the rational and almost indifferent monsters on the stage in disbelief. Their disregard for the lives of the soldiers under her command at this moment made the princess feel extremely angry, "That's right! They are soldiers, but They are also citizens of Britain! Our people we swore to protect! Yes, we swore! Before we sat where we are now, we swore before the queen! Now, are you going to break your vow !?"

"We haven't forgotten that oath." A staff officer on the stage shook his head calmly. "I don't know the situation of other people, but personally, I remember that oath in my heart and practice it personally."

"Then why-"

"It is precisely to protect more citizens that I will agree with the opinions of other staff officers and veto your proposal to send troops to support. The news of the loss of the joint fleet formed with the US Sixth Fleet will be spread to the outside world sooner or later. At that time , how chaotic the outside world is, can you imagine, Your Highness Princess?"

"I--"

"Enough, Lilith."

The Prince of Wales, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. His Excellency raised his head and glanced at the screen in the hall.The satellite captured the scene of that sea area, and the images it sent back made people wonder whether this sea area belonged to the Atlantic Ocean or the Arctic Ocean.

"Father……"

"It is indeed our duty to protect our people, but what the staff officers are worried about is not unreasonable. After all, the available information we currently have is too little, even the last request for help sent back by the United Fleet The authenticity of the telegram cannot be confirmed."

"Let's stop here for the discussion on rescue. We will wait for further actions when more definite news comes back. Now let's move on to the next topic——"

"Wait! You can't just go in like this—"

At this moment, a fierce dispute suddenly sounded outside the door of the conference hall, but it returned to calm after a while.The senior staff officers in the conference hall all frowned. Long before the meeting started, they had ordered all noises to be prohibited in the vicinity.The Prince of Wales rose to his feet, displeased by an unprompted accident in such a serious meeting.

"what happened?"

"Ah, it's good that you're all here."

The biting, icy, piercing cold air seeped into the meeting hall from the gap between the doors, and the flat and indifferent female voice sounded strangely in everyone's ears, although it was not loud.

"I, need an explanation."

The glaring white light filled the room with the bang opening of the door, and a huge shadow like a ghost was projected on the ground, and at the end of the shadow, the indifferent killer was aiming at the only loot from the fight quarter of an hour ago. This group of high-ranking leaders was thrown at their feet.

"【Medusa】……"

The faces of those present who knew something about the reputation of this seemingly harmless petite girl became quite ugly.

What the killer threw at their feet was a corpse covered in dried blood.

"Are you provoking Britain?"

"Everyone, please forgive Ms. Eve's rudeness." From behind the golden darkness, Meloette came into the eyes of everyone in a wheelchair, "After all, a few quarters of an hour ago, the corpse under your feet— —Well, this girl seems to have been a Butei who belonged to the Butei Office in London before she was alive—she wanted to kill me.”

"...Miss Holmes, is what you say true?"

In the corner of the hall, a middle-aged man got up slowly.The man exuding a calm demeanor from head to toe glanced at the corpse on the ground, and asked Melelle in a low voice.

"This is not something that can be dealt with in a joke."

"Detective Butcher, I'm not going to joke about things that concern my life."

Although the detective kept her usual elegant smile on her face, there was no smile in her eyes.

"This girl is being controlled. I don't know if it's some kind of superpower that interferes with the will of the mind, or some kind of drug that can control the heart. When I turned my back to her, she, who was a normal person just a moment ago, suddenly disappeared. Attacked me with a attitude that completely spared my body and life, even after Miss Eve crippled an arm."

Butler Detective went to the stage, half-kneeled in front of the corpse and stretched out his hand to turn the front of the corpse upwards. His gaze was fixed on the arrow on the chest of the corpse.

"this is?"

"Cause of death." Golden Darkness nodded lightly at the Chief Butler who turned his head and looked over, "After I stunned her, she was shot dead by a cold arrow from the window."

All possibilities and all truths end under this arrow.

"This child is indeed a Butei under my command. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened to her..." The Chief Butler clenched and loosened his fists. After a moment of silence, he stood up and walked towards the stage. The Prince of Wales bowed slightly, "Your Highness, the situation has changed. If what Merliet Holmes and [Medusa] said is true, I'm afraid..."

"Ah, I see."

The Prince of Wales nodded with a complex expression.

Whether it is the instigation of the Buteido under his command, or the silence after the assassination fails, both of them require the internal members of the Butouju to contact the people in [IoU]. Only with a certain understanding of the internal situation of the Butouwu, Only then could such a near-successful assassination be launched under the noses of the martial arts detectives.

"The Butcher Hall has been infiltrated by [IoU]."

There was an uproar in the conference hall, and the staff members looked at each other subconsciously. Smart people would think more, and this group of people with the top IQ and eyesight in England saw from the other party's eyes something that was the most unfavorable to them. The emotions that should be present.

"It's not necessarily that one of us betrayed the country—"

"But at least, there is a spy who has a connection with [IoU] lurking around us."

Although the Prince of Wales immediately realized the problem and responded, in any case, the worst and most deadly thing for an organization and a collective happened after all.

The poisonous weed called "doubt" spit out new shoots.

The Shadow of the End, Volume 148: Chapter 49 Chapter [-] The Traitor ([-])

Unsurprisingly, the news of the destruction of the United Fleet caused a shock in the entire British society. Uneasiness, fear, fear... All kinds of the darkest emotions that can be brewed in the hearts of the people are wantonly breeding in every corner of this country. The law and order situation in China is deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Theft, robbery, intentional wounding, intentional homicide... This is the fifth case in these days. Has the situation become so bad?"

Aria frowned and flipped through the case files on the table. The current chaos in the society makes girls who advocate order and justice very unhappy.

"Aside from dispatching military detectives and police to rectify social order, isn't the government planning to take any measures to fundamentally solve this problem?"

"How could it not? As early as the moment they learned that the battle report was leaked, representatives of the government stood up and wanted to explain the matter to prevent the situation from continuing to brew, but it was useless. This is not a false rumor, It’s a fact that has already happened, and even if it wants to explain it, the government doesn’t know where to start.”

Mellie let out a heavy sigh.

Originally, after [IoU], a superpower organization that is not bound by the morals and laws of the secular world, was exposed, the public's emotions were awakened from the illusion of "stability" and "tranquility" woven by the government's painstaking efforts It was already on the brink of collapse, and now, the news of the combined fleet's fall became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

If possible, the British military really wants to hide this defeat report, just like the Japanese military did during World War II, using the media controlled by the government to control information, using overwhelming military propaganda to guide public opinion towards their favorable direction.But this is just their wishful thinking. In this era of open information and reporters running faster than the police, the methods used by the Tojo cabinet cannot be copied.

"What's more, if it's just this one thing, we won't be as devastated as we are now."

Insider, traitor.

Although the attempted assassination a few days ago did not threaten Mellie's life, it completely destroyed the relationship of trust among all members of the London Martial Arts Office.Now the terrible atmosphere full of doubts in the Butei Office has made the leaders who understand the seriousness of the matter feel extremely headache. Under the situation of internal and external troubles, it is impossible for them to devote all their energy to solving the current social instability.

"Well, it's not that I don't understand the difficulty now." Aria put down the case file in his hand, "So at this time, you have to rely on your mind, right? As long as you catch the evil spirit lurking beside us Come out, basically all the problems can be easily solved, right?"

"You said it lightly..."

Mellie just smiled wryly.

"I can't help you with this matter. You know my situation. It's a 'defective product of the Sherlock Holmes family'." Shaking her head in self-deprecation, Aria muttered a few words unwillingly, but those negative The thought didn't linger in her mind for long, and Butei, who quickly sorted out his emotions, said seriously, "Then, I'm going to go on a routine inspection. Eve..."

Aria gently hugged the blond girl who heard the words and raised her head to look at her.

"I will leave my sister to you."

"Yeah." Golden Darkness didn't show any disgust at her sudden contact, "Please be careful and be safe."

"You too."

-

"Aren't you going to go on inspection with my sister?"

An hour after Aria left, Meruite asked the Golden Darkness out of the blue.

"With the current level of chaos, even an S-rank Butei doesn't necessarily mean it's safe?"

"Since Aria didn't ask me to accompany you, it means there is no need for it. I trust her judgment." Golden Darkness replied flatly, "Besides, I promised her to protect you."

"..."

Merleet was silent for a while, the Golden Darkness's obedient and submissive attitude towards Aria made her feel a feeling of unwillingness that came from nowhere.Mellie's eyeballs rolled around, as if thinking of some prank, she suddenly turned her head to the golden darkness and showed an extremely coquettish smile that was completely inconsistent with her usual quiet image.

"My sister said 'I will leave my sister to you', but there is actually another interpretation."

The girl flicked her beautiful blond hair hanging by her ear, obviously it hadn't fully grown out yet, and her body was still so young, but her actions at this moment revealed a charm that was not lost on an adult woman.

The golden darkness froze for a moment.
