Chapter 160: Truly interesting, what, do you want...?

Truly interesting, what, do you want...?

At the same time, on the other side.

Among the remnants of the city guard knight troop of over a hundred people, Ji Yue was half-leaning against a broken wall, resting.

She was the player with the highest score among the six, and the one who finally took over control of the squad after one captain and three vice-captains had died.

And all of this was achieved step by step as she led this group of remnants.

From the fall of the outer city wall to street fighting, and then to the failed attempt to reinforce the inner city, for four whole days, she had lost count of how many people she had killed and how many battles, large and small, she had experienced.

The distance between the inner and outer cities, which should have been covered in a day, had taken four days to walk, and just from this, one could tell how tragic the battle had been along the way.

Gasimaila, which was originally surrounded by mountains and water, was now covered in ruins, with countless 【Chaos】 believers running rampant, making this land, which should have echoed with the sounds of truth, sing with tragic wails.

"When the funeral bell tolls, wail loudly."

The wailing had already begun, and now Ji Yue only hoped that the one to continue this sound would not be herself.

Just a moment ago, the squad had encountered another wave of frenzied funeral bell knights.

Although they were few in number, they were all fierce in battle, making the already struggling remnants even more exhausted.

Except for the sentries scattered out, everyone was sprawled in the ruins, doing their best to recover their strength, greedily "enjoying" this rare moment of truce.

Not long after, a warrior with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a face full of stubble crawled quietly along the broken wall. He looked at Ji Yue, who was resting with her eyes closed, and pulled out from his bosom...

A dagger.

And light-footedly, he sent the blade tip toward Ji Yue's chest.

However, the moment that sharp dagger flashing with cold light was about to pierce her flesh, this Scholar of Knowledge, who was about to reach 2600 points, suddenly opened her eyes.

She merely lifted her right hand slightly, and the dagger that should have stabbed into her chest was shifted into an unknown void!

The void, the void again!

Scholars of the Void Quality-Energy Department are the scholars in the entire Tower of Reason who understand the void best, so most of their various talents are related to the void.

The warrior holding the dagger was not startled; he neither retreated nor explained, but stood quietly in place, his eyes, filled with deep meaning, slowly looking at Ji Yue.

Ji Yue glanced at him coldly and mocked:

"Gelfis, the prerequisite for healing others without causing misunderstandings is to notify them beforehand.

Sneakily using a dagger is not a good plan for a Battle Supervisor.

If you weren't the only priest in the squad, I would be more inclined to think that your actions were intended to send me away so you could take my place.

Speak, did you kill Captain Grif, and when did you become one of His people?"

The "He" here naturally refers to the 【Chaos】 that caused all of this.

That's right, this thick-eyebrowed, large-eyed strong man was Gelfis, the squad's quartermaster just mentioned by Fang Shiqing, and also one of the rare comrades who had fought side-by-side with them for four days and nights and had not yet died.

A self-deprecating smile broke out on Gelfis's face, and he said in a low voice:

"I have never wanted to become His believer as much as I do today.

But 【Truth】 tells me that 【Chaos】 is not 【Civilization】."

Ji Yue pushed his arm away and sneered:

"You are merely a captive of 【Truth】; He wouldn't look favorably upon you.

Besides, since when have believers of 【War】 become so sentimental?

What are you here for? Speak your mind."

"You are too exhausted; you need healing." Gelfis stared into Ji Yue's eyes and said word by word.

"There are plenty of people who need healing more than I do. Akade is still lying on a stretcher; if your mental power is abundant, you can go and care for him.

Having a fighting expert return to the front line is far more useful than relieving my fatigue."

"Yue, he is far less important than you." Gelfis grabbed Ji Yue's hand, his expression also becoming affectionate. "My energy is limited; besides you, I cannot care for anyone else."

Looking at Gelfis's reckless behavior and such direct signaling, this beautiful player, dressed in tight mage robes with long silver-gray hair, smiled.

This smile was like painting a touch of wine red on a black-and-white drawing.

But this wine red on her lips did not come from lip gloss, but from the blood of enemies.

"You snuck up to me just to say these things?

Mr. Quartermaster, is your remaining energy used for picking up girls?

Truly interesting, what, do you want to sleep with me?"

"..."

Gelfis was stunned.

He did indeed have this thought; after all, as a believer of 【War】, one must always vent frustration and irritability.

But when he heard Ji Yue's words being even more direct than his own, he stammered and couldn't find a response.

At this moment, saying "yes" or "no" didn't seem quite right.

"Very good!

Thank you for still thinking about wanting to sleep with me in the midst of a chaotic battle."

Ji Yue stood up, concealing her figure in the shadow of a stone pillar that had not yet fallen, and looked down coldly at Gelfis, who was looking up at her. Her voice was like a gale blowing over a glacier, bone-chillingly cold.

"This is the last time, Gelfis.

Remember, it was your priest identity that saved you."

But at this moment, the time for the sentry rotation had arrived.

The Fire-Keepers, bringing Cheng Shi, carefully felt their way back along the trenches of the ruins. The first thing they said upon entering the camp was:

"We encountered a priest from a knight troop who had retreated from battle. Ji Yue, where are you?"

"?"

Just as she heard Fang Shiqing's voice, Ji Yue silently summoned back the dagger she had originally thrown into the void, and the dagger appeared right in front of Gelfis's chest, in the exact same position as when he had "assassinated" her just now.

Immediately after, before Gelfis could react at all, this Scholar of Knowledge used the simplest method, using her elbow as a hammer, to drive the blade tip directly into his chest.

"Ssh—"

His heart was broken.

Gelfis's face was full of terror!

He never expected Ji Yue to kill him, and even less did he expect her to kill him at this moment.

He lost his strength and knelt on the ground, his hands clutching Ji Yue's arm tightly, vomiting blood foam from his mouth. His face was filled with disbelief, but his eyes were full of regret and malice.

"You... are crazy, I am your... priest...

The only... priest!"

Ji Yue sneered, not even glancing at him.

"Not anymore."

Gelfis was startled. He used the last glimmer of his life to look in Cheng Shi's direction, and then struggled to turn his head back, cursing at Ji Yue:

"Bitch... stinking bitch...

You will... be buried with me sooner or later!

He... is coming, He has already seen..."

"Ssh—"

Before he could finish, the dagger was pulled out of his body.

The silver light, unstained by blood, swung back onto the ground of the ruins, but it pulled a perfect arc of blood from Gelfis's chest cavity.

With a "thud," the corpse fell to the ground.

This Battle Supervisor fell dead right in front of his prey, his eyes wide open in death.

Cheng Shi crawled all the way to the "acting captain" behind Fang Shiqing, and the moment they met, he saw this silver-haired mage send away a stubbled big man.

He looked at Fang Shiqing in confusion, only to see that Fang Shiqing's expression was also not good.

"You killed Gelfis... Ji Yue, he was the only priest in the squad!"

Ji Yue withdrew the coldness from her face and bloomed with a smile that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"I said, not anymore."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Cheng Shi and nodded in greeting.

"This one is the only priest in the squad.

Nice to meet you, I am Ji Yue, acting captain of the 41st Knight Squad of the Outer City Guard.

Which troop did you retreat from?"

Cheng Shi's gaze shifted between Ji Yue and Gelfis's corpse. He pondered slightly for a moment and suddenly felt that this acting captain did not seem easy to fool.

At least when it came to identifying internal traitors, her intuition was far sharper than the Fire-Keepers'.

"What, even forgotten your own serial number?"

Ji Yue smiled and walked up to Cheng Shi, sizing him up, her expression quite playful:

"Then your name, you remember your name, right?"

Not right!

This feeling is not quite right!

Cheng Shi's gaze narrowed slightly; he retreated half a step, adding a trace of wariness when looking at Ji Yue.

The beautiful woman opposite seemed to have seen through his identity, but the problem was, he hadn't even spoken yet; how did she figure out he wasn't a city guard knight?

【Truth】 has such means?

But His believers hadn't been fooled by him any less before.

Just as Cheng Shi was frantically thinking about what the situation was, Ji Yue spoke again.

And this time, what she said stunned everyone present.

"Can't even remember your name?

It doesn't matter, let me help you recall.

Your surname is Cheng, given name Shi, you are not some knight squad priest, but a...

Reason-Eater!

You are His believer!"

As soon as the words fell, the void above Cheng Shi's head opened!

Two black hands, as thick as sludge, rushed out from the void without warning and smashed fiercely toward Cheng Shi's head!
