Darkening Guardian Knight

"Brainwashing? Is that why you brought me here?" Kate sighed speechlessly when she heard the words, "Although I fell into the trap you set up, I have already seen through the magic arrangement here. But I think you can There must be someone behind me to stop me from escaping..."

"Hehe." The mysterious man was noncommittal, but his tone seemed to acquiesce in Kate's conjecture, "You can try it, and I really want to see if you can escape from here, Miss Kate Darkroy. "

"Since you say so, let me try."

Kate looked around, the dark light was too strong.If she hadn't received special training, she might be blinded here.

The light, as if urging her to die, shone more and more, and finally drowned the black-haired girl.

However, after Kate's figure was engulfed by the pitch-black light, she seemed to have disappeared and could not be found.This was not caused by the dark light, it was Kate herself who was using combat skills and wanted to escape.

The mysterious man sensed this, but he just laughed it off: "A master-level combat skill of agility, shadow clone. It's really troublesome to deal with it if you are not prepared. Unfortunately, I have already expected you to do this, and have already formulated countermeasures for this."

After speaking, the high platform suddenly flashed, and all exits were blocked.

Then the inside of the high platform became a real cage, no matter which corner of the high platform Kate hid in, sooner or later she would be affected by the brainwashing black magic.

"Give up! I won't be controlled by you!" Kate struggled and roared, "Brainwashing or something - it's useless to me, you should understand!"

"That's not necessarily true." The voice of the mysterious man was full of confidence, "Different brainwashing methods have different effects. You have to believe that I use the most advanced one for you, and you will definitely not be immune."

"Tsk... you bastard..."

Kate smiled wryly. She knew that she could not escape the calculation of the mysterious man in the end. The other party's plan was really too meticulous.

Moreover, hundreds of seventh-level powerhouses were used as actors for this purpose. With such energy and courage, he would never allow himself to find a way out.

She tried to attack the door of this high platform, trying to break through it with the piercing attack that the assassin was proud of.

But the mysterious man obviously also considered this point. The inner wall of the high platform was made of some kind of magic material, which was unbelievably hard. Kate's short knife could not cause too much damage to the wall at all.

In desperation, Kate could only hide in the corner of the high platform farthest from the black magic circle.

Although sooner or later this place will be eroded by the black magic of brainwashing, but it can be slowed down more or less.

The black light still shines, getting closer as time goes by.

Collapsing against the wall, Kate felt more exhausted than ever.

What happened in this mission was so shocking that she was caught off guard.

And when she thought that it was Uncle Jue Ying, who was the kindest to her, who betrayed her, Kate felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although he felt something was wrong in the family a few days ago, he still didn't expect him to sell himself so simply.

"Ah, I couldn't escape this time..." The black-haired girl was really exhausted. Two days of continuous lurking drained a lot of energy, and then she heard a big event that made people lament , her heart was almost broken.

Originally, assassins shouldn't be so emotional, but at this time Kate no longer regards herself as an assassin.

Now she is just an ordinary girl in a desperate situation.

The young girl Kate Darkroy looked at the dark light in front of her eyes, and closed her eyes unwillingly.

"It's... like this again."

"In the face of such a big event, I always want to do something, but in the end I can't do anything, and I can't save anyone. But this time, it seems that I can't even protect myself..."

"I... once again, feel powerless, and... helpless..."

"This is really a... super annoying feeling."

When was the last time this happened?The black-haired girl's consciousness became more and more blurred. She thought about it slightly, but the light in her eyes became weaker and weaker.

In the end, no ray of light could pass through her eyelids, and only darkness remained in her world.

The beginning and end of No.13

The small town of Glick is located on the border of Guimeral City.

Although the land here is barren and farming is underdeveloped, the commodity economy is thriving because of the close proximity to Jimeral City, a giant commercial city, and all the villagers live happily.

And in this small town of Glick, there is a special place, which is an unnamed orphanage.

It is special because its business model is different from ordinary orphanages. It does not rely on donations from others, but relies on itself.

The children in this orphanage go out to work to earn money by themselves, and use this to raise their younger children.

The reason for this is that the old director of this orphanage passed away a few months ago, but no one is willing to accept this troublesome errand——

The director of the orphanage, what a thankless job, has no personal benefits at all.

The old dean is a capable person. He can always get in touch with some rich people and persuade them to donate some money and clothes to maintain the normal operation of the orphanage.

But after his death, those wealthy businessmen never appeared again, and the unnamed orphanage began to have financial problems. The money left by the old director was not enough to support their daily life, and there was also a serious shortage of food. Dozens of children in the orphanage were starving to death, and the orphanage was on the verge of disbandment and collapse!

But the older children in the orphanage did not give up. After discussing together, they finally decided to support the orphanage with their own strength.

So the half-aged children started to work, and according to their own strengths, they began to haunt every corner of Guimeral City, doing various jobs.For a long time, they could be seen everywhere in Guimeral City.

Their approach finally achieved remarkable results, even though it was a child of about ten years old.But in Jimeral City, a place where money is paramount, you can earn a living if you have the strength. Orphans ask for a lower price than ordinary workers, but their work is no worse than those of adults in those professions. Naturally, many people are willing to hire them.

Of course, not everyone has the strength to do the work that adults do, especially girls, it is impossible to engage in a career that sells their strength.

Some outsiders suggested that some older and beautiful orphans should work in brothels in Guimeral City, and this proposal was later approved.

Because the wages of the brothels in the city are really high, the money for a day's work is enough to be worth the effort of the boys for a week.

However, there are also people who do not agree with this, mainly boys. They feel that it is too disrespectful to the girls in the courtyard, and they do not want their purity to be tarnished.

In fact, the boys and girls in the same orphanage are familiar with each other and have been in love for a long time. Naturally, there is some feeling of love mixed in this relationship.

Girls don't want boys working so hard for an orphanage.

And the teenagers don't want the girl to sell the purity of the body in exchange for the life of the orphanage.

However, in the end, due to the pressure of reality, most girls still chose this path.Because its income is high enough, it is more than enough to support the orphanage, and it can even scrape together the money to buy beautiful jewelry for them.

The girls who did not choose to sell their bodies are in a lot of embarrassment. They can't do much, and things like needlework can't bring much profit in this commercially developed city, but they have nothing else to do. The very outstanding skills, can only struggle to survive.They cannot give much subsidy to the orphanage, and sometimes even have to live on the charity of others.

Kate Christian is one of the girls who chose the latter.

But she is not as weak as the girls who usually make this choice. She is a strong girl who goes out to work and earn money every day like boys.

But everyone didn't know what kind of work she was doing. They only saw that she could afford to support the orphanage's expenses every month, and she seemed to have a good balance.

In the eyes of everyone in the orphanage, she has always been a mysterious girl. Although she is only eight years old, she is very sensible.

Originally, she could have enjoyed the welfare benefits of a young child and relied on other people's labor funds to live, but she didn't want to do that and had to be self-reliant.

But when the people in the orphanage found that Christian went out for longer and longer every day, and sometimes even didn't come back, they couldn't bear the curiosity in their hearts.

They wanted to know what kind of work Kate had done to earn, as an eight-year-old, what a boy could earn by working hard.

"There must be something wrong behind this!" In the orphanage, a very popular young man among the older boys preached, "What strength can an eight-year-old girl have? She earns so much money, it is definitely through irregular means! Maybe it is the same as those girls who go to work in brothels, but they just don't want to say it."

"But she is only eight years old, how can she do...that kind of thing?" Some people questioned that it was a bit outrageous, age is a hurdle after all.

"Maybe there are people who like that kind of body type?" A girl working in a brothel supported the leader's point of view and booed, "In a place like Guimeral City, there are all kinds of people. It's not surprising that there are rich businessmen who like sex."

"Ah, that's right." After hanging out in Jimeral City for so long, these boys and girls also deeply understand that there are all kinds of people here, and it is not surprising that anything happens.

So after they heard this point of view, they all agreed.

After all, that's the most reasonable way to explain Kate's situation.

"Anyway, let's get someone to follow Christian first. We need to know if she is really using ulterior methods to make money." The popular young man finally came to a decision, "Alpid, you go."

The boy who was named stood up resolutely, and respectfully said to his leader: "I understand, Nova. I will figure everything out."

"Well, we believe you." The leader named Nova nodded and watched his supporters leave.

And so began the boys' pursuit of Kate Christian.They were determined to reveal the girl's true colors and how she made a lot of money.

However, the task was stymied at the outset.No one thought that an eight-year-old girl could walk so fast. Whenever the girl went out, the ordered Alpid would never see her, let alone follow her.

"It's...too exaggerated." Alpid ran back panting and reported to everyone, "This Christian, she is definitely not an ordinary girl, she...she runs faster than me! And I don't know how fast How much, I think she has a martial arts cultivation base!"

"You mean, she is already a martial artist at the age of eight? And according to what you said, her martial arts cultivation is not low?"

Nova sneered, and didn't believe what Alpid said, "Don't be kidding, we are all in our teens and have not reached the peak of the first level of martial arts. How can she be stronger than us as a little girl? Could it be that you fell in love with that little girl halfway through, and were fascinated?"

"Not really! Nova!" Alpid was a little annoyed, and he put down his words, "Anyway, go and follow up yourself, and then you will know that what I said is true."

"Hmph, don't you just want me to go out in person? No problem." Nova, while being popular, couldn't help being a little self-righteous, "I'll go and see what you call a girl with superb martial arts skills!"

As he said that, he made a promise in public that he would personally expose the shady behind Christian's large amount of money!

So Nova went to fulfill his promise, but when he experienced it for himself, he realized that what Alpid said was definitely not a lie, this little girl really had a speed that he couldn't match.

But Nova made a guarantee in front of everyone, so naturally he couldn't back down, he gritted his teeth, and speeded up to catch up.

This kind of forced acceleration will consume more physical strength, but Nova can't control so much, he only wants to catch up with the girl, and he is already reckless.

Jimeral City is very big, but it also has a limit, and no matter how far she runs, it is impossible to exceed this limit.Therefore, when Nova was so tired that he lost consciousness, Christian finally stopped his actions.

"Hoohoo, I didn't expect that girl to run so far and run so far." Nova saw that she had already reached the northern suburbs of Jimeral City.

Their small town of Glick is located in the southern outskirts of Jimeral City, and it is not impossible to walk from the southern suburbs to the northern suburbs in three hours. Now, in just one hour, Christian has passed through the center of Jimeral City and reached the other side of the big city.

But Nova didn't believe in evil, he swore in front of his supporters that he would catch the girl.So he can't be discouraged and tell himself that there must be something wrong with the girl.

Otherwise, why did she come to the northern suburbs, which is not much richer than the southern suburbs?

Seeing Christian walk into a hut in the southern suburbs, Nova guessed that this was the house of the boss she was serving, and he had seen rich men taking care of their mistresses in the suburbs.

So the boy who saw this scene strengthened his guess.

However, the next scene was a slap in the face. Christian came out of the room in just a few minutes, holding a stack of bright coins in his hand, and then the girl walked away, and the speed still made Nova amazed.

Nova did not catch up, and was unable to chase anymore.He was dumbfounded and bewildered as to what was going on, he couldn't see the pattern at all.

Christian must have had some shady deal with the people inside.

However, no one knew what kind of transaction it was, at least Nova didn't see it.

But his previous guess was probably wrong, Nova thought so reluctantly.

"Not necessarily." Nova comforted himself. "This doesn't explain anything. Just go in and ask about the facts. There must be an answer in there."

After thinking about it, he made up his mind and knocked on the door that Christian had entered before.

At the same time, he also knocked on the origin of all events.

The beginning and end of No.14

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Nova knocked on the door and asked. He knew there was someone inside, so he would definitely answer.

Sure enough, not long after, the door opened, revealing the face of an old man from the crack of the door.

The old man asked him coldly, "Young man, what's the matter?"

"Uh, that... I want to ask why that girl came here just now?" Nova was taken aback for a moment, and then hesitated to reveal her true intention.

When the old man heard it, he understood something, and an ugly smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

He kept this disgusting smile, and said to Nova sincerely: "She's here to sell things. She takes things from others and sells them to me."

"Ah, isn't this a thief?" Nova turned pale with shock. He had never thought of this possibility, so he was shocked at this moment, "So she actually engaged in such a deed! She really has no shame."

"Young man, you are wrong." The old man said slowly, "In this city of Jimeral, there has always been only profit but no shame. Or do you think that a fool who insists on justice can survive in this city?"

"This..." Nova had nothing to say, as the old man said, if he was still so naive in this city, he would not be able to survive.

"So, young man, what are you doing here?" The old man asked again, "If you have nothing to do, you might as well do something for me. It's not difficult, it's definitely within your ability."

"What's the matter?" Nova said vigilantly. He has been in Guimeral City for a long time, and he knows that the people in this city are very tricky, and there must be the old man's own purpose behind this.

"Young man, don't worry, I will give you a reward if I dare to make this suggestion. You don't need to know my purpose, this is the principle."

The old man replied calmly, "If you don't answer, I'll leave it to Little Kate to do it next time."

"..." Nova felt right after thinking about it, if he didn't do it, someone else would take over the job.

Since he can get paid, so what if he picks it up once?

"Okay, I'll do it." Nova finally figured it out, and he agreed to the old man's request, "Let's talk about the salary, how much?"

The old man smiled mysteriously, stretched out five fingers and said, "This number."

"Not enough." Nova frowned, dissatisfied with the asking price, he gestured an "eight" and said to the old man, "I want me and my brothers to work hard, at least this."

"Hey, the young man is quite greedy. Are you sure you know the amount I told you?" The old man shook his head and spread his palms and said, "That's 500 million Guangming coins, any more is comparable to inviting an A-level mercenary group to go on a mission. Or do you think you and your group of friends are comparable to an A-level mercenary group?"

"Five, 500 million?!" Nova was really shocked, he thought the old man said [-].
