Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 196 [Don't Trust Me]

“The grieving spirits in the subway station are chasing Dr. Moore? Why is this happening?” The spare tire shouted: “Isn't he... an ordinary man? And he's a systemic lead.

Maybe because he touched the body of the deceased? The first one to touch? Appeared at the scene of the murder, hated by the spirits?

That doesn't make any fucking sense. ”

Spare tires screaming.

“I do have a guess.” The tire was not tight enough to say, while reaching out and pressing his brother's shoulder: "The point is not just why the grievance spirit in the subway station attacked Dr. Mu. Instead... why would that black Annie spirit in the apartment attack Dr. Moore as well? ”

The look on the tire was heavy: “If you think so… maybe our guess was wrong before. In the apartment, Grievance Spirit is attacking both the living room and the toilet, actually to distract everyone. Her target is actually Dr. Mu?

But why would Annie attack Dr. Moore? She was murdered somewhere else, not in any way related to Dr. Moore. ”

Chen Xiaoliang frowned: “Maybe this is just one of our speculations, maybe we were wrong...”

“Maybe he's Jack The Ripper! ”

It's a dagger!

And when that was said, everyone was caught in silence.

“Have you forgotten? Our analysis concludes that Jack the Ripper is a man familiar with medical surgery! This guy is a doctor! And he was the first person on the scene of the murder at the first subway station! He was right next to the body when we got there! Maybe he killed him! ”

“It's impossible.” Chen Xiaocai shook his head: “Because Dr. Mo wasn't there when Heini died, he was in the apartment! ”

“Yes, we can all testify that Dr. Moore never left the apartment.” Tires too.

“Maybe he can do magic, maybe he can do witchcraft, maybe he can split up, maybe he can do soul tricks!” Dagger Loud: “Isn't it obvious enough? This is a copy of the trick! The killer was always with us! ”

Saying, the dagger suddenly pulled out the knife and walked towards Dr. Mu with a murderous face.

Chen Xiaoliang immediately stopped in front of him. "What are you doing? ”

“Kill him!” The dagger frowned: "Maybe kill him and the mission is done! He's the killer! ”

“Are you sure?” Chen Xiaolian grinned.

“…” Dagger bites his teeth: “Out of the way! ”

“Idiot.” Tires sideways in the cold: “Forgot the instructions for the system? Dr. Moore is a clue! His survival must be protected! If he dies, it's like a mission failure! ”

“... if you don't kill him, beat him up first! Humph!" Dagger bites his teeth: “Scrap his hands and feet! Just let him die! Look what he did to the back without his hands and feet! ”

“If you touch him, I'll scrap your hands and feet first.” Chen Xiaocai pushed the dagger hard and pushed him back a few steps.

“Don't you fucking touch me!” The dagger's face appeared to kill him, stood forward, a prick, and the dagger drilled into Chen Xiaolian's throat!

Ding!

Chen Xiaolian has quickly summoned the Dauntless Battle Axe. The Axe Blade blocks the dagger, and then the smoothness is a vertical split!

The dagger quickly retracted and flew out a few steps, just about to screw itself back on...

“Enough! Everybody stop! ”

Phoenix's figure appeared behind the dagger, reaching out and pressing his shoulder, his fingers bent, grabbing the dagger and taking a few steps back: “Dagger, you are too impulsive! ”

“I...” The dagger looked at the phoenix obliquely: “Captain! Why do you always help outsiders talk? ”

Phoenix closed her eyes and looked at the dagger. "Are you accusing me of being unfair? ”

“... I didn't say that!” The dagger was always around his neck, but his face rose red: “Is my guess unreasonable? He's just an ordinary man. The system won't let him kill him, it'll leave his life behind. Get rid of him or die! As for our suspicions, as long as we get rid of him, at least he won't be a threat! Am I wrong? ”

Phoenix frowned, looked at the dagger and looked at Chen Xiaolei again.

Chen Xiaocao bluntly said: “He is ordinary to you, but I know him. He helped my friend, so I won't let you touch him! ”

In any case, Chen Xiaoliang believes that the Dr. Mu he knows is a good person and has dealt with himself - his philosophy does not allow him to look at such a good person, just because he guesses, is hurt.

Or in other words, he can't do it like a dagger… as an awakener, he can treat other ordinary people like lambs and kill them at will!

This attitude is currently unacceptable to Chen Xiaoliang.

Phoenix drowned her eyes and took a deep breath without looking into Chen Xiaolian's eyes: “Then let's make a compromise. ”

“What do you mean? ”

Dr. Mu... may not hurt him, but he must be kept under strict supervision. ”The phoenix sighed:“ Although the dagger was a little impulsive, his assumptions, I think, made some sense.

Captain Chen Xiaolei, maybe this Dr. Mo is your friend.

But you have to understand… he is not our friend.

This is a task that we all do together, and if something goes wrong, you may be willing to bear the consequences. But we have no obligation to accompany you to bear the consequences. ”

“I understand.” Chen Xiaoliang sighed and sighed slightly: “Tire spare tire, find a way to wake Dr. Mu... then, the next time, you two are responsible for protecting him closely! Do you understand?”

Tires are the finest and immediately understand what Chen Xiaolian means.

Close protection means two layers: first, there is nothing unusual about surveillance of Dr. Moore. Secondly, naturally, to prevent someone from trying to hurt him.

“Okay, leave it to us. ”

Phoenix glanced at Chen Xiaocai and smiled. “So good... let's do this first. ”

The dagger stepped back, and he stood at the door, glancing coldly at Chen Xiaocai, then suddenly lifted his hand and made a throat cutting motion on his neck with one finger.

Chen Xiaoliang glared back without fear. The dagger turned around and walked out the door of the lounge.

“Can I talk to you alone? Commander Chen Xiaolei.” Phoenix looked at Chen Xiaolian.

“… Yes. ”

……

On the roof of the warehouse, Chen Xiaoliang and Phoenix found a clean place to sit down.

Phoenix actually pulled out a bottle of wine from the storage belt, swayed it, and handed it to Chen Xiaolian: “Have a sip? ”

Chen Xiaocai glanced at it and took a big sip at the mouth of the bottle.

“Aren't you afraid I'll poison you or do something?” Phoenix looked at Chen Xiaolian with a smile.

“Captain Phoenix, I have great respect for you.” Chen Xiaocao looked at her: “Past experiences have proven your sincerity in cooperating, so I believe you. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Xiaoliang smiled deliberately, pointing to the position under the roof: “Just some of your team members, they don't seem very friendly to us. ”

The phoenix gently sighed, and she picked up the bottle from Chen Xiaocai's hand, gently wiped the bottle's mouth, and then poured a little wine into the bottle.

The wine went down her throat, the phoenix gasped, swallowed it and frowned bitterly: “I really don't understand why you men like to drink such spicy things. ”

“It's not just men who like to drink.” Chen Xiaocai glanced at her: “Didn't you say you were a good girl not to drink? ”

“Sometimes good girls want to drink.” The phoenix shrugged her shoulders.

She looked at the distance… it was morning and the sun had come out and hung up in the sky.

“It's so rare to see such a beautiful day in London.” The phoenix stared at the distant sky and suddenly said: “The dagger... is not meant for you. ”

Eh?

“He's targeting me.” Phoenix calmly said: “In a previous copy, my team went through some things. ”

Chen Xiaocai didn't say a word... he felt he was not fit to ask others about their internal affairs.

But the phoenix didn't seem to stop, and she still looked at the distant sky and said in a calm and slow tone:

“In a previous copy, our team lost three companions. Two of them were intimate with the dagger, one was his brother and one was his… woman.” Phoenix grinned bitterly: “And the last one to die was our captain… well, to be precise, the former captain. ”

Chen Xiaocao was stuck.

“So my captain is new.” Phoenix smiled slightly: “I guess that's the same as your situation. You didn't take over the team long after Autumn Meteor died. ”

Chen Xiaocao did not speak.

“Perhaps it was because my friend and woman died, and the dagger blamed me… because of that copy, he thought it was some of my command and tactical mistakes that caused the sacrifice… although I didn't think so myself. But… I have no excuse. Human emotions can often not be measured by reason.” Phoenix calmly said, "Perhaps another reason is that after the death of the old chief, he was not comfortable with me becoming the new chief. Of course, his qualifications are very old. Perhaps there's a factor in that. ”

Chen Xiaocao still didn't speak.

Phoenix suddenly asked, "Have you ever died in your team... I mean, after you became the leader of the regiment? ”

“…” Chen Xiaocai hesitated for a moment.

Nicole? She's just a temporary teammate, but... sort of.

“Died.” Chen Xiaocao slowly said: “In a previous copy, we lost an outstanding team member, and it can be said that she saved all of us with her life and killed strong enemies. ”

“Has your team… not questioned your leadership?” Phoenix looked at Chen Xiaolian. "You're lucky. We are equally young, and we are also new leaders... and your team has never doubted you? By contrast, you're in a much better position than I am. ”

“Everyone has their situation.” Chen Xiaoliang was vague.

“Our old captain has always been very kind to me.” Phoenix said softly: “So other members of the team, perhaps all along, have some opinions about me, but some have chosen to show up, such as daggers. Some people choose not to show...

The old chief was an elder I knew, and a few years ago, I was involved with him in a copy, becoming an awakener. I keep calling his uncle, in fact he is one of my division chiefs... I am an art scholar, he is quite a famous painter.

I was only fifteen when I worshipped him as a teacher. Later, he followed him in his paintings.

When he became an awakener, he took care of me, and that care, in the eyes of the rest of the team, was perhaps an injustice. ”

“I think it's fair… everyone has close relatives…” Chen Xiaocai tried to comfort each other.

“... hahahahahahahahahahaha!!” The phoenix suddenly laughed, laughing as bright as the sun, but only in her eyes, as if a strange light had appeared.

“What are you laughing at? Are you kidding me?” Chen Xiaolian frowned.

“You're so naive.” The phoenix suddenly picked up the bottle and drank another large sip, presumably because it was too intense, she choked, coughed hard a few times, coughing a delicate face all red.

Suddenly, the phoenix threw the bottle hard off the roof, smashing it to pieces.

“Chen Xiaolian! You're so naive, you're not as kind as a man alive in this game! ”

Phoenix's eyes suddenly turned cold!

“Let me tell you something! My old captain, my teacher... the reason he looked at me differently is because he's actually been hitting on me!

I was 15 years old, and he was older than my father!

Many times, he tried to take advantage of me! At first, I could only resist, flee... and I was scared, he was strong, I knew that if I forcibly resisted, I would not be his opponent at all, I would only provoke him and make him mad.

I can only pretend to be simple, pretend to be very young, don't understand his hints... I use this way to circle, hide, resist, protect myself in this way!

Luckily, he also seems to enjoy the pleasure of this game hunting! So I had to protect myself for a long period of time without letting him succeed.

You know, I even hide a knife under my pillow every night when I sleep!

Though he seemed to take care of me brightly, he actually kept me under constant pressure and didn't give me a chance to improve my strength... he took care of me just as if I were a private forbidden, pet!

Oh, no, actually, he's been suppressing everyone else on the team! To ensure that his own strength has an overwhelming authority!

I could do nothing but quietly, exhaust everything, and find ways to grow my strength under his eyes, secretly.

I've always lived like a scared rat!! In the face of a cat who has always wanted to eat herself, she can only carefully preserve herself and improve her strength with a little quiet build-up...

Later, as he gradually lost patience, my resistance and rejection became more and more annoying.

Do you know how he ended up? ”

Chen Xiaoliang stunned.

Phoenix took a deep breath and her eyes became colder and colder!

“He finally ran out of patience. Just in a previous copy, resting, after a hint that I had rejected him, he was finally angry, and he tried to... rape me! ”

“...” Chen Xiaocai stayed and looked at the phoenix.

The phoenix suddenly turned from its palm into a dagger, an almost translucent dagger.

“I pretended to be scared, pretended not to resist, paralyzed his restraint... then I used this dagger to stab him in the neck and cut his throat while he was undressing himself!! ”

When Phoenix said this, she smiled. “That guy didn't get me until he died! I forged an illusion that everyone thought he was dead in the hands of a monster in a copy.

After that copy, my strength became one of the strongest in the team!

You know, when I got home after the copy, the first thing I did was lock myself up in the shower and shower myself a dozen times! It finally cleansed my mind of years of fear!

Chen Xiaoliang can't say a word!

But the phoenix stuck the dagger between them!

“What are you... telling me about this?” Chen Xiaolian stared into the girl's eyes.

“I'm telling you, don't be so naive and kind.” Phoenix chuckles: “Don't trust anyone too lightly - if you want to live a long life in this game. ”

……

[Let's put it this way, I know this chapter came out and some old readers might not like it.

Because it may have damaged the good image of the Phoenix character in the minds of some old readers.

I can only say that this image may not correspond to the Phoenix in King of Heaven.

Because the phoenix here is the Phoenix of the Gate of Revelation.

Well, that's it.
