Chapter 94. 93. Collapse

"Military doctor!" A soldier suddenly rushed out from a building not far away, grabbed Ke Qie's arm, and said excitedly, "Military doctor!! Go and see, Jason's devilish energy has exploded again! We only need to As soon as you get close to him, you will be contaminated by demon energy, what should you do?!"

The demonic energy of the demons is often aggressive to a certain extent. If you enter the range of the magical energy without being recognized, you may be injured.

"I'll go and have a look with you." Valentine continued, "I smell his devilish energy on you, it should belong to the same kind as mine, at least more than half of the similarity. Let me see if I can Help you suppress him."

"Okay." Ke didn't say much, and ran into the building with the medical kit on his back.Valentine followed closely, but he was a little absent-minded and didn't know what he was thinking.

The room where the wounded lived was being invaded by a force. Jason was sitting on the hospital bed with his eyes blurred. The patient in the room with him had already begun to lose consciousness, kneeling on the ground and crying indiscriminately.

"This is... spiritual magic." Ke Qi speculated, and he called out, "Valentine."

In the next second, the black cage completely covered the room. The military doctor snapped his fingers, and with the point he was standing as the center, a circular area with a radius of two meters was formed. The air-tainted people all stand in the circle.

The soldier was shocked, "Are you... partners?"

"Yes." Valentine smiled indifferently, but his movements were not slow, and Jason's demonic energy was quickly suppressed firmly.The white light on the soles of the feet expanded rapidly until it merged with the sunlight outside the window, and the messy magic energy in the whole room was cleaned away.

Jason's gaze finally had focus. He mumbled to himself while covering his head, and suddenly passed out.

"This is a purifying demon-like energy?!" The soldier excitedly held Keqie's hand, "Thank you! Thank you for saving Jason, and... I've never seen a purifying demon-like energy, it's so unique. "

Ke Qie nodded slightly, and immediately began to treat the wounded.

Valentine seemed to be awakened, because the demons and the bright nature repel each other, so there are not many demons who purify the demon-like energy, Ke Qi is one, and the demons he met in the human world that day is one.

"I can't help with the treatment of the wounded, so let's go out first." Valentine greeted and led the soldiers out of the building.

So he didn't see that the moment he walked out of the room, Jason, who had been drowsy, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear.Ke Qi stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

After waiting outside, Valentine asked, "I heard there was a mutiny here, what's going on?"

"Hey, didn't the military pay be paid a few days ago, but it still hasn't arrived after two or three days. I heard that my god took away some of the resources of the demon world, and some people are in a hurry." The soldier said angrily, "This is not a trivial matter. Ah, if the military salary is missed, we will not give an explanation, we are soldiers to earn our lives, and we are not coolies for nothing."

"Where does the military salary come from?"

The soldier thought for a while, "Tinta."

It is the territory of Lilith.

Valentine knew in his heart that the earl was dissatisfied with the rule of the God of Darkness, and probably wanted to establish himself.But in the current situation, launching a revolution rashly will only arouse the resentment of the people, and we can only use some means to test it out.

Military pay is like rice. When a person doesn't get his due, he only blames the person in charge of the meal, not the cook.

After thinking about this, Valentine chatted with him a few more words.The soldier didn't know that the person he was talking to had the rank of major, and he didn't know that the other party could decide his fate with just a flick of a finger.He only thought that this person was a small captain of another army, because he knew that low-ranking soldiers valued their pay more than their lives, and they had a slippery personality like a soldier who had been in the army for several years.

Valentine will always only wear gray and black junior military uniforms. Because of his identity as the adopted son of the leader of the Black Queen, Franz, he will always be absent from his ordination ceremony, and then he will mix in the crowd and yell about the guy named "V". What ability, why have you won so many medals.Ordinary soldiers only know that he is a squad leader who has made a meritorious service once and has a good relationship with the instructor.

His honor is only recorded in the files, and some high-ranking officers know it, but they never mention it.

Valentine put his hands in his pockets, walked around the place where the legion was stationed, almost familiarized himself with the terrain, and then found a secluded grove to stay.

He took off the ring in his hand and rubbed it repeatedly.

"We love lies, but we will never lie to those we are loyal to; we are born in darkness, but we will never die in the shadow of lingering days; we bless with sharp knives, but we will never wave them to those we love and respect."

He recited the "Dark Code" silently, thinking back to the whole process of fighting against the masked man. He was only similar to Ke Qie in his demonic energy. The demonic energy on Keqie's body was acquired when he healed Jason, and it was by no means left over when he fought against himself. of.

So it's all just... coincidence?

No.Valentine heard a voice inside himself saying, no.

A person who is always on the verge of life and death has an instinctive insight into danger. This insight has saved him three times, one of which was decisively betraying the Black Queen's Party and taking the initiative to act as an internal response to Caesar, which made the Black Queen's Party fall so quickly thorough.

Because Valentine quickly noticed the change in Caesar, which was fundamental. He changed from a somewhat impetuous young ruler with unfamiliar means to a sophisticated politician. A guy in his 20s.

He was right, the God of Darkness descended, and members of the Black Queen's Party were either imprisoned or dismissed, and some even paid the price in blood.

Now, he began to doubt his lover.

Valentine did not tell Camus that he had encountered other demons in the Holy Academy, and the moment he opened his mouth, he hurriedly changed the subject.

For what reason, even he himself didn't know.

Valentine was staring at the ring intently, when a slight sound came to his ears, he raised his head alertly.

It's Keqi.

The young military doctor put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with you?"

Valentine put on a cynical smile, "Oh, I didn't know until I went to the human world, and it's really comfortable to stay in the demon world."

Ke Qie stared at him, "Don't laugh if you don't want to."

Valentine approached, put his arms around the back of Keqie's neck, and whispered suggestively, "How long have we not been together?"

Ke Qie's body tensed up suddenly, and his face was stained with rosy color.His hands trembled a little, and he touched Valentine's waist lightly, as if in response.

"Tsk." The collar of the military uniform was pulled from the back, and Valentine laughed, "You rarely take the initiative..."

The hand touching the waist trembled, unknowingly deviated from the direction.

Valentin bit Ke Qie's neck with a bit of force, and the tooth marks were embedded in the skin.Just as he was about to continue, an extremely ominous premonition suddenly screamed in his mind, it roared hysterically, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! ! !

where is there—

The hand deviated from the waist firmly and steadily removed his military spine, and then the small syringe hidden between the fingers quickly peeled off the glue, and pressed against the place where Valentine's bone wings meet the spine.

All this happened in just two seconds, and the drug should have been injected successfully, provided that Valentine was not on guard.

The moment his back was restrained, he spread his bone wings.

Ke Qi was caught off guard by the tough film and swept aside. He reacted very quickly and used "chant" almost at the same moment Valentine activated his magic energy.

The huge black cage was poured into this virtual space, and the white bird and the fragmented light flowed past Ke Qie. He coughed and stood up slowly, "Originally... when the human world was forced to activate the magic energy, I already guessed You will doubt me..."

Valentine's eyes were cold, and he pursed his lips in silence.He wanted to question the other party a lot, but he couldn't say a single word.

"Why do you want to ask?!" Ke Qie shed his usual jerky shell and said with a sad smile, "I can't take it anymore, Valentine. The Demon World cannot be destroyed by Caesar. Your life-and-death opponent, do you really think... this is a way out, rather than pushing the demon world to a dead end?"

"So you can betray the Demon Realm?"

"I didn't!!!" Ke Qi said fiercely, "The person who is most suitable to rule the devil world is definitely not Caesar!!"

"You belong to Lilith." Valentine said blankly, "But I am loyal to Caesar, he is the main god of the demons, a race without the blessing of the main god, and is so weak that it is not worth mentioning in front of other races that have blessings. "

"We can't get together, Valentine." Keqie clenched his saber, showing a shallow smile that almost stabbed Valentine, "Will you expose me, Your Excellency the Major?"

A huge white bird swayed up from behind him, tearing and rolling in the dark space, followed by a flock of birds, which emerged from the end of the sky and gathered behind Ke Qie.

Valentine had never seen Cochon fight anyone, because no soldier was stupid enough to piss off a medic, but that didn't mean he wasn't aggressive.

In fact, there are no weak demons in the demon world, because those with poor physique cannot survive in this barren land.

"You want to fight with me?" Valentin looked at him, his eyes were stained with an unknown color.

"We love lies, but we will never lie to those we are loyal to; we are born in darkness, but we will never die in the shadow of lingering breath; we bless with sharp knives, but we will never wave them to those we love and respect." Ke Qie slowly recited , "Dark Codex Chapter 13. Let me go, Valentine."

"Impossible." The black nails grew a few inches in an instant, like sharp daggers, Valentine vetoed, "I will never betray the demons."

Ke Qi was enraged by his words, "I didn't betray!!" He took the lead to attack, and the military thorns collided with the nails, making a piercing sound.

Keqie's attack is not violent, but each of his blows hits the most vulnerable point, like a precise surgical operation, he knows exactly where to cut off to make people lose their mobility.

Valentine suddenly realized that he knew nothing about this man.

His ring is still on the opponent's hand, and the past is still in the memory, but the person is no longer what he was before.

"You are in a hurry to go out, is there something wrong?" Valentine said while resisting his attack, "Is it the human world?"

Ke Qi paused for a moment.

Valentine seized this opportunity, quickly clasped his wrist and twisted it, and the saber flew out, nailing into the darkness.

"You have military thorns, so you have the ability to pierce me." Valentine said hoarsely, "But you are reluctant, right?"

His answer was silence.

The white bird broke through the cage, splitting a ray of sunlight.Keqiu broke free from his shackles and left along the loophole.

Valentine stood where he was, he didn't stop, just stared at his hands.

The ring he had personally put on for the other party was lying quietly in the palm of his hand, which happened to be a pair with the one on his middle finger.

Love rots and dies in the soil before it blooms.

He stayed in this dark virtual space for a long time, until the close-fitting mirror flashed a light before waking him up.

"Valentine, Valentine? Are you there?" Camus' voice sounded, and he said urgently, "I have something important to ask you."

"……What's up?"

"When you were in the human world before, didn't you check the information of the holy apprentices? I want to check a person, Ola Verdina, a senior second-year student in the 14th class of knights in the Thorn Flower District."

The instant the name came out of his mouth, Valentine already knew who he was talking about.

Ke Qie had followed her, and now it seemed that they were probably in the same group.

Ke Qi...

"Valentine?" Camus was still urging, "What's wrong with you?"

"No problem." His voice was still a little hoarse, "Her background is very clean and has nothing to do with the heavens."

——Obviously the origin is not shallow.

"Are you sure?"

"I can."

—Sorry, I was lying.

"Okay, thank you."

Camus ended the conversation.Valentin clenched the ring in his hand, and the cage fell apart in an instant, turning into fly ash.

He saw the world outside the cage, the sky was graying the distant mountains, and the sunlight was flickering.The clouds are layered and overcast, and the giant bird walks through it, screaming like a signal, and the shrill voice resounds through the sky and the earth.

"The smoke bird is calling! The smoke bird is calling!" Someone shouted from the barracks not far away, "Put up the white crystal support quickly. When the smoke bird calls, the rainy season is coming."

boom -

Thunder rang, and the smoke bird disappeared into the sky.The first drop of rain hit this barren land, and then the big raindrops fell.The wind whizzed in with the raindrops, and the sky cracked pale.

The rainy season is coming.
