girl knight zero

Chapter 174 Fetters
On this day, Cang Ling was carrying equipment with other knights, and Simon came over.

Seeing him, Cang Ling immediately became nervous.

Simon didn't speak to Cang Ling, but walked past her directly.

Just when Cang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly found a box of chocolates on the shelf in front of him.

Cang Ling hurriedly turned his head, and met Simon's gaze.

Simon smiled at her, and then gestured with his eyes, meaning it was for her.

Cang Ling immediately put down the equipment, turned around and ran away, and of course he didn't take the chocolate.

Simon sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Over the next few days, Simon repeated these little tricks.

For a while, he put roses in the report, and for a while, he stuffed love letters under the crack of her dormitory door, and kicked her feet under the table during the meeting.

Cang Ling was almost mentally broken by Simon, living in fear every day, unable to sleep all night.

She wanted to write to Phoebe and Carrie, but she found it hard to tell, and what was the use of telling them?It will only distract them.

Telling them about Leon's sacrifice before had already dealt a blow to them, and talking about it now would undoubtedly increase their mental burden.

Asking Connie for help is not enough. Connie already hates Simon extremely. If she finds out, she will definitely go to fight with Simon, which will drag her down and be punished.

It's even worse to ask Hume and Duran for help. They are all men, and they can't say such things at all.

Simon probably also knew that Cang Ling was isolated and helpless, so he acted more and more boldly, and even squeezed her hand a few times when she was not prepared.

Cang Ling felt that if this continued, he would not be able to hold on anymore.

When will this tormented day end?

While she was suffering from psychological torture, another bad news came.

Diego wrote to her and told her: Clive was badly wounded in the battle and was dying!
After seeing the letter, Cang Ling felt like a thunderbolt, and immediately asked for leave to go to Clark.

Along the way, she was very anxious, hoping that Clive would not have an accident and survive the dangerous period.

As soon as he ran to the camp of Clark's unit out of breath, he saw a group of people driving out in a carriage with urns and garlands on them.

Seeing this scene, Cang Ling's mind buzzed instantly.

"Zero!" At this moment, Diego in front of the funeral procession saw her and hurried over.

"Is that... Clive?" Cang Ling looked at the urn and asked tremblingly.

"Yes." Diego's face was full of tears, "He passed away the night before, the doctor tried his best, but he still couldn't save him..."

Hearing this, Cang Ling sat down on the ground.

At the funeral, Clark's squad leader Evan read Clive's eulogy, and Cang Ling learned of Clive's sacrifice.

Not long ago, Clark's unit experienced a major battle against the half-humans. After the battle, Clive and Diego's team was ordered to clean up the battlefield.

I thought that all the enemies had been cleared, but I didn't expect that there were still pretenders lurking in the cave!
Clive and the others were caught off guard and fell into a predicament of being besieged.

The number of people in the group was too small to be against the opponent at all, so Diego and Clive took turns to open the physical shields, desperately resisting the attack of the pretender, and waiting for the support of others.

The pretenders who besieged them had two B-levels and four C-levels, and their attacks were extremely ferocious.

Diego soon reached his limit, but Clive kept going.

When the team managed to find them in the dark cave, Clive had been holding on for nearly four hours.

After the battle, everyone found that Clive was bleeding from all seven orifices, his body was stiff, and he remained motionless while standing on the ground. Evan couldn't break his arms and legs with all his efforts.

So everyone rushed Clive to the hospital, but it was too late. Clive passed away two days and two nights later due to ineffective rescue.

"The doctor said that when Clive arrived, he had no vital signs. His body was already rigor." Diego said to Cang Ling with tears in his eyes, "but if he had died long ago, How did it last for nearly four hours?"

"Four hours... Clive could survive that long in that situation..." Cang Ling was deeply shocked.

With a high-strength physical shield, even a powerful old knight like Dulan can only last for about half an hour, but Clive actually lasted for four hours.

The physical shield is equivalent to lifting a heavy rock just because of physical exertion, not to mention that all attacks received by the shield will be reflected on Clive.

Let alone a human being, even a body made of iron cannot withstand such a strong continuous impact.

Clive's thin figure appeared in Cang Ling's mind, and such a huge energy and such a strong willpower were hidden in that thin body.

"Zero, I've changed my mind." Diego wiped away his tears, with a hateful expression on his face, "I want to apply for the Hurricane Knights, and I want to inherit Clive's legacy!"

"Isn't it? You really want to apply for Hurricane?" Cang Ling asked in surprise.

"What you said at the beginning was right, and I understand now. The shield of Alifons can't protect us at all. If we want to survive, we must take the initiative to attack. Humans and night devils cannot coexist. To avoid fighting is actually to give up survival Opportunity!"

Speaking of this, Diego clenched his fists: "From now on, I will give up all illusions and swear to wipe out night demons from this continent!"

Seeing Diego's resentful expression, Cang Ling didn't know what to say for a while.

"By the way, where's Clive's family? I'll go over and say hello to them." Cang Ling suddenly remembered.

"He has no family." Diego lowered his head, "Clive is an orphan."

"Orphan, orphan?"

"Well. I only found out not long ago. He lived in an orphanage since he was a child, and he has no other relatives except the dean. We sent a telegram to the dean and asked if he would like to come to the funeral, but he refused because he had no time. gone."

Hearing this, Cang Ling once again felt deep sorrow in his heart.

Born alone, grown up alone, died alone.

After many years, will anyone still remember him?
Do you remember that there was a boy named "Clive" in this world?
"I want to have a bond with the world. I want to be needed."

When watching the sunrise on the cliff that year, what Clive said surfaced again, but unfortunately this wish can no longer be fulfilled!
"Clive, watch from the sky! I will definitely become a Hurricane Knight. After many, many years, I will meet you with victory and glory." Diego squatted down, stroking Clive's tombstone said.

"No, no, Clive's wish has been fulfilled. Now he has a deep bond with this world, and this bond is called "inheritance of will."" Cang Ling thought to himself silently.

　Clive's role ended, and 13 people from class 5 left.
