"Is this the reason why you, who came to intercept me in your busy schedule, sent people to chase me for a whole day?"
The biting wind suddenly erupted in front of Duan Qing, knocking the silhouette of Ninglan who had just appeared out of the air. The blue and white clothes made a sound of breaking through the air, and then a big hand hit him. With a drag, the following sword energy was moved into the parallel air: "You have brought so many... um, do you want to introduce it to everyone first?"
"We are all old friends. I guess no introduction is needed."
It seemed that he had no intention of continuing the pursuit. The scar-faced man waved his hand to the side, pretending to be a peacemaker: "But... maybe they are the only ones who know you, and you 'maybe' don't know them, so I’d better bring them all over so it’s good for everyone to meet.”
"Some people from the province... left without saying goodbye again."
"...Am I as unbearable as you say?"
After rubbing his nose and being silent for a while, Duan Qingcai smiled helplessly as the pursuers gradually gathered behind him: "When I was negotiating with you before, I think I should have expressed my position..."
"That's your self-righteous idea." The scar-faced man once again let out a deep laughter unique to middle-aged people: "Your performance is seen by others as...very arrogant and arrogant."
"It fits your past style very well."
The smiling and solemn expressions of the two people formed a sharp contrast in the wide waterway. As the footsteps gradually began to fill the passage, it was Duan Fenglei who lowered his head first: "However, now is not the time to discuss this issue... …”
"Come on, don't be afraid." He took a step back and gestured to a few people in the team behind him: "I am now... your backing."
"Then...Moshang Qingshan!"
Among the crowd behind the scar-faced man, a man carrying a big sword stood up first: "Do you still remember me! You finally have today!"
"...How could I not remember you? After all, we have had a grudge for so long."
Looking at the man codenamed Aqiang, Duan Qing covered his forehead helplessly: "Are you actually a witness? I object. He has a personal grudge against me. He must have come here to frame me..."
"invalid objection."
The hunched Duan Fenglei waved his hand, signaling the other party to continue, and the latter grinned for a while, and then described what he saw and heard that night in Taran Village again: "...So that He is definitely Xue Ling Huan Bing! I have seen him so many times in the competition, and I can recognize him even without looking at his name and ID! Duan Shanyue was also present at the time, and he can also testify!"
"Yes, yes, there's me too!" Among the crowd behind the waterway, a mage's strangled voice suddenly rang out: "I just felt something was wrong. Now that I think about it...it's like a capture scene! Ah— —They were convinced by me! They want to silence them!"
"Who is this idiot who has been chasing us all this way?"
Xu Yu Liushang, who put away his sword, shook his long blue hair, turned around and asked Duan Fenglei in the distance: "Can you send him back first?"
"...Even if it's to give Grayson some face."
Hanging his head in embarrassment, Duan Fenglei focused his attention on Duan Qing again: "How? This matter... what do you have to say?"
"...This is indeed true."
Duan Qing was silent for a while, and then nodded frankly: "But... we have long established a relationship that is not humane to outsiders, and it is normal for us to meet in the principality... Oops!"
Rubbing his ribs where he was bumped by a blue-haired female swordsman, Duan Qing's originally indifferent expression became distorted: "Anyway, in short, our relationship is a normal friendship, nothing like your so-called collaboration with the enemy. It’s not even remotely related... Don’t laugh at that fantasy! You are one of the examples! He is also an Imperial member who often appears here, don’t you have any doubts about him?”
"You said there wasn't any?" Amidst the laughter of the bystanders, the codename Aqiang shouted again: "Then what were you doing sneakily that night? The time of appearance was so suspicious, and now you don't dare to tell the truth... …”
"Are you referring to the time at that time? Sorry, that was already her first... uh, fifth time in the principality." Duan Qing replied with a smile: "I shouldn't tell you this kind of thing, but I said it. It shouldn’t matter, anyway, with the game over...she probably won’t appear again.”
"Look, look! You are indeed related!" Codename Aqiang immediately shouted: "Everyone knows that the Wings of Freedom used the game time to divert our manpower and easily attack the principality. You showed up to each other. The time is so consistent..."
"Oh, the five times I said refer to all the times we met."
As if waiting for the other party's words, Duan Qing immediately spread his hands and explained: "Including the one in Falling Star Mountain before, and...the one in Jade Forest before that."
He looked towards the back, in the direction of a bearded man: "We knew each other at that time. This Mr. Broken Mountain can prove it... right?"
"this……"
Looking up at Duan Fenglei beside him, Duan Shanyue, stroking his beard, replied hesitantly: "Yes, yes, we also met at that time, hahahaha..."
"So... our friendship has existed for a long time. It is not surprising that we exchange feelings with each other on the border where the two countries are at war." Duan Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then replied to the codename Aqiang: "Just because When the two of us met, they accused me of betraying the camp...is that a little too much?"
"you you……"
"What? Do you even know the conversation between us? Or are you envious of my relationship with the Ice and Snow Goddess?"
The man carrying the big sword had veins popping out on his forehead. He didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, under the attention of all the players, he retracted his intention to slash Duan Qing with his sword. The proud Duan Qing bared his teeth at the opponent, and finally withdrew his teasing eyes, and then looked at the next person walking out of the team as Duan Fenglei waved expressionlessly: "So...this Who is this?"
"My identity... you don't need to know." The player named Guipai laughed hoarsely twice, and his eyes when looking at Duan Qing were full of inexplicable malice: "You just need to know..."
"I'm just a person who was almost expelled from the guild for some reasons."
As if feeling the evil spirit of the other party, the smile on Duan Qing's face slowly disappeared. He was silent for a while, and then adjusted his expression: "So... what do you want to accuse me of?"
"I witnessed what you did in Valletta Hospital." Guipai replied loudly: "You... participated in the attack on the Speaker that night."
The storm... has arrived.
As if aware of the emergence of some kind of black tide that turned into reality, Duan Qing suddenly turned his head and looked at the scar-faced man who still did not make any movement. The latter still had no words to say and reacted blankly. The man standing next to Duan Qing However, Ciyu Ninglan stepped forward first: "This gentleman... Where did you see it?"
"My position... you don't need to know so clearly." The man in ordinary equipment and a nondescript appearance laughed a few times and covered his face with his hands: "You just need to know... look It’s enough that I’m not the only one who sees those scenes.”
"Oh?" Duan Qing's face became even more surprised: "Is there any other dear friend who can come out and meet me?"
"Of course it's Brother Yu Chen from the Red Soul Guild."
The man turned his head and looked around him, and then under the eyes of the codename Aqiang, he pulled out the figure of a certain thief: "He was also at the scene at the time and heard your voice. At that time, you tried to explain what you had done. ...Putting the blame on Chihun, right?"
"...Hey, you know all the details like this. It seems that you are all at the scene."
In the increasingly surprised eyes of the onlookers, Duan Qing admitted again in a low voice: "But...if my judgment at the time was correct, except for a certain former professional player and president, the remaining players in that place are The only living person below should be a member of a certain Wings of Freedom...is that person you?"
"..."
"What, now you...do you want to pull off this piece of your own skin, and then pull me down?"
"...Hidden cross-examination is wonderful, but useless."
The man in the center of the line of sight let out two deep laughs again, and then pushed Yu Chen's back: "You, and this lovely brother thief, only need to answer one question."
"Is what I just said true? Yes, or no?"
"Yes, yes, but I didn't see the situation clearly at the time, so..."
"A lot of the situation at that time was indeed beyond my control."
Feeling the pressure brought by the wordless silence, Yu Chen, shaking his hands, hurriedly spoke out his subconscious thoughts, but before he could finish speaking, Duan Qing interrupted him: "Including the subsequent collision. When it came to the red souls who wanted to trouble me, it was something I didn't expect. Sorry, I was a little uneasy that night, so I can't remember the specific details, but the attack in Valletta that night, And a series of subsequent battles, I was indeed present.”
"Don't worry, Ninglan." He stretched out his hand to block the maid who wanted to explain again: "If I don't admit it... there will definitely be more witnesses who will come forward."
"The members of the royal guild have moved away from Tania, so we didn't find them." Duan Fenglei's voice sounded at the right time, seeming to answer Duan Qing's question: "But... Chihun's brothers also came later. By the time they got there, they seemed confident that they could prove... everything that happened at that intersection that night."
"You...have anything else to say?"
"If...I mean if..." Duan Qing replied with a smile: "If I said that my appearance there that night was a coincidence, and I went to save people...do you believe it?"
Duan Fenglei, who had his arms folded, raised his eyebrows, but made no other response. He seemed to be waiting for Duan Qing's next performance with the other onlookers. Duan Qing, who was becoming more and more helpless, let out a long sigh. He seemed to have no intention of continuing the confrontation. After taking a deep look at the ghost sign for a few times, he once again turned his attention to the crowd behind the scarred man: " I am becoming more and more curious..."
"Where did you find these witnesses?"
"It's all a coincidence." Duan Fenglei raised his eyelids and used Duan Qing's previous words to answer his question: "Even if it weren't for the presidents who you looked down upon once, I can't let go of this great opportunity. Opportunity, right? Of course, there is one thing I must remind you..."
"Those people from the guild...they are all waiting for you down there."
Without looking back, he pointed to the bottom of the waterway behind him, where the sound of surging water resounded. A smile appeared on Duan Fenglei's face again, and he continued rather gloatingly: "There is also Valletta Hospital, Kan." The Tower Hospital, the temporary field hospitals at the gates of major cities, the various taverns and hotels in the city... are all our people. For the sake of your physical and mental health and game experience, you'd better..."
"Take advantage of the last opportunity to answer."
As he spoke, he moved slightly out of the way, and then, under the gaze of others, he grabbed a player at the back of the team and said, "Next."
"Well……"
It seems that he did not expect to be taken out of the team by the opponent. The player who was taken out of the team was slightly stunned: "There are many brothers in front of me, should I let them speak first..."
"It doesn't matter, we have to confront each other anyway." The scar-faced man smiled at him and seemed to be encouraging him: "With so many brothers in the world, what else do you have to be afraid of... Tell me. .”
"Well……"
The player's expression became more awkward, and his eyes began to wander around. Finally, under the gaze of all the players present, he looked at another person next to him: "Bald brother, you should say a few words. ah……"
"Don't worry, your testimony will be very effective." The person he mentioned smiled slightly, and then returned to his usual stern expression: "Also, I am not bald."
"Uh, hehehehe..."
Rubbing his hands uneasily, the player named Wutian Luohan's eyes wandered for a while, and finally he slowly stretched out his finger in the direction of Duan Qing: "I saw it, I saw it..."
"Um?"
"I saw... that guy once sneaked into the mansion of the city guard captain Tasker, trying to steal Tania's city defense map..."
boom!
A loud roar suddenly appeared in front of the player who had not yet finished speaking, then passed over the team composed of Duan Fenglei and others, and fell towards the small river below the waterway exit. The scar-faced man who looked back at the sky unexpectedly received a look back at Duan Qing with a smile. His eyes sank as he fell, and finally, amidst the loud shouts of Chenyu Canyue behind him, he let out a silent sound. sigh.
"He ran away! Catch him!"
"Fleeing in fear of crime! This is simply lawless!"
"Quick! Seal this area and seize his accomplices...ah!"
"I want to remind you... If you want to catch us, you are looking for the wrong person!"
The noise was accompanied by a fierce battle, and then appeared over the river extending out of the sewer. Duan Qing, who poked his head out of the water, took a long breath, and then looked at the surrounding scene as expected. He showed an inexplicable smile towards the player who was knocked down by him.
"What a coincidence." He said.
"brother."
