The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

"You, you guy! You actually want to...!" Chitong's expression was stiff with excessive anger and shock.

In fact, Heitong didn't know. It wasn't that she didn't want to take him with him, but she was chased when she was escaping from the assassination team. She was knocked off the cliff and was unable to take Heitong away.

But just when her blood pressure couldn't be suppressed, and she couldn't help but want to fight him to the death, An Yan changed the subject again: "Okay, okay, calm down~ I was joking just now, tell me, you are What are you here for?"

"...I'm here to support Didao Village."

"Empire? Rebels?"

"——Both sides! I am the revolutionary army that cuts through the darkness! Returns the people's well-being!"

"What, you ended up joining the rebels? But... cut through the darkness... Poof! Haha! You are still in the second grade at this age? Why are you the same as Lani? But even Lani can't If you believe this kind of nonsense, it’s just that you like being in the second grade of middle school. Is this really a half-baked thing brought about by growing up?”

He wasn't too surprised by the answer, but he couldn't help laughing and shaking his head in the middle of the sentence.

But Chitong had a gloomy face and clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand: "Although I felt before that you, the guy who deceived Heitong, was not a good person, but I only thought that you were Heitong's suitor, but I didn't expect that you were Heitong's suitor. You are so completely bad!"

"...What topic are you talking about?" An Yan asked blankly, and looked around for a while, then found a stone on the roadside to sit down, put his hands on his knees and looked up again without relaxing for a moment. The girl said helplessly: "By the way, this is a reunion of old friends. Why can't we talk about something happy?"

"Baima Town...did you do it?"

"Baima Town? Ah~ the leader of the rebels just now seemed to have said something about the blood feud in Baima Town?"

"You did it!"

"Hmm~~ Let me think about it." He put his hand on his forehead and thought for a long time, but at the end he showed an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, but give me a hint. Is that the south, the north or the west? The empire is similar There are so many place names that I can’t even remember them clearly.”

"You...you scumbag!!" Chitong's eyes widened instantly, and he almost bit his teeth in anger.

She thought that he might deny, defend, or even apologize, repent, ridicule, or be disdainful, but she never thought that he would actually give such a response.

....Don't mention regret or apology, he didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

It was as if she had accidentally stepped on an ant, and her attitude, which had no impression at all, was extremely bad. It was completely beyond her imagination. She almost lost control and waved the demon knife in her hand on the spot.

But facing such an angry girl, An Yan looked very innocent, as if the person involved was really not her, and said in confusion: "Why are you angry? It's not my fault, right? Why don't you tell me clearly where it is?" , what happened again, how could I remember? I am very busy every day, okay? I have to study, preach, exercise, train the army, send troops to defeat the rebels, and deal with the troublesome Esdeath , I have to compete with Daidas for heads, how can I have as much free time as you?"

"——That's the town you burned down after being massacred for no reason!!"

"No, no, no, don't just frame good people, okay? I've never done that kind of thing. If I have to say it, they must be supporting the rebels or bandits, so I will use force. Bar?"

"They did support the bandits in Baima Mountain, but ah! That doesn't mean the whole town will be burned down!"

"...Huh? Wait? You said that, but I remembered it!"

Although there were indeed too many things going on during this period, and there were many similar things, An Yan quickly thought of something and suddenly realized: "Is the Baima Town you mentioned nearby here?"

"Correct!"

"That's right~ But I remember that the bandits in White Horse Mountain were solved by your assassination team? At that time, I also heard that you were among them and killed the bandit leader? I even regretted that I never met you."

"Woo-?!"

These words seemed to pierce the heart, causing Chi Tong to lose his voice for an instant and his expression became painful.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"...Those who were burned to death by you are the ones who really want to be happy, and those who were killed by me are the ones who really want to make the people happy."

"Oh...is that so?"

Chitong's words after being silent for a long time only made him nod perfunctorily.

But Chitong didn't care, and continued: "At that time, I thought about it... I killed so many people and was hated by so many people. What on earth did I do? What on earth am I? for what?"

"For the people, right? Children are so awesome and so easy to fool!"

The empire is not a good thing, and neither are the rebels. Knowing this too well, he couldn't help laughing after hearing Chitong's words, and even mocked her.

This made Chitong seem to be insulted and asked angrily: "Since you think my ideal is not worth mentioning! Then you should tell me what your ideal is! You keep killing like this! You keep helping others do evil, and finally you can get something What? He’s just a killer standing on endless corpses!!”

"Yeah, everything you said is right." He nodded nonchalantly: "But you should first tell me about yourself, why did you choose to betray?"

"I decided to leave the empire because I wanted to live for the people! We will kill for the happiness of the people... This is the education we received since childhood, but today's empire is contrary to this behavior! So I chose another A path!”

"...I see, the empire's education is too positive, but it ignores its own problems too much, which leads to assassins like you being dumbfounded." After he finished speaking, he frowned and felt a serious headache. Said: "But in this case..."

"--what?!"

"Do you think I should lament that you have been made stupid, or should I lament that the people in the empire are so stupid that they don't even consider their own situation? What should I do to save you silly children?"

Chapter 7 The idea of ​​the Kallia Empire·How can a man live in depression for a long time?

Compared to the girl who was brimming with anger, An Yan was holding his head in his hands and was sincerely wondering which one was more stupid.

This actually made the girl in front of me angry for the first time tonight: "No! This is not the result of brainwashing!"

"It's not anyone's influence! It's my heart! Because my heart tells me that is the right way!" Chitong refuted his speculation with stern words, and lightly knocked his fist on his chest: "I I’m just following the path I believe in!”

"Oh, that's really... pitiful."

"What! What is your look like? Are you sympathizing with me!"

"No, it's just pity." An Yan looked at the girl in front of him with pitiful eyes and shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect that you don't even understand what brainwashing means. You will naturally think that it is what you are thinking. ."

"....You bastard....!"

Chitong, who only felt insulted, couldn't help but go up to fight with him.

However, he reached out and pointed his palm at her, motioning her to stop for a moment and said: "Let me change the question. Do you think black pupils are more important or your people?"

“Everything matters!!”

"Your answer is simply a lie. How about I change the question." An Yan thought for a while and simply raised the question of death in the 21st century: "If Heitong fell into the water with an unknown people, They don't know how to swim yet, who do you want to save first? Please answer me honestly."

"...Black eyes."

Although she felt a little defeated when she told this answer, she still didn't lie - the most important person to her was undoubtedly Heitong, the sister who had been dependent on her since she was wandering. This was true from beginning to end. Nothing has changed.

This also made An Yan nod to himself, then spread his hands and said: "Then why did you abandon Heitong for some strangers?"

"That's not the case! I want to bring Black Eyes here! I tried my best! But...!"

"Stop making excuses. If you didn't bring it, you didn't bring it. You have already caused irreparable trauma to Heitong! Now you are still pointing your sword at me to kill her benefactor? Do you want to force your sister to death? "

"I, this, this..."

Chitong was speechless for a moment, and even he couldn't help but became confused, and even put down the knife in his hand unconsciously.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, An Yan finally stood up and walked over, grabbed Chitong's hand, stared into her eyes, and said as if she truly felt unworthy of her: "Please, Chitong, you are a talented person." , now you just have no other choice and have joined the rebel army. They only value your ability and Teigu. In the revolutionary army, you will only become their executioner! But I am different!"

"What's different about you?" The face of the girl who subconsciously withdrew her hand was full of suspicion. However, An Yan, regardless of the risk of being chopped, with a gentle smile like the big brother next door, reached out and patted her shoulder:

"Although you may have some misunderstandings about me, I can promise that I will not use you as a tool. Ever since I was at the assassination force's base a long time ago, I have regarded Heitong as my biological sister, and I have always wanted to love her and hope that she is happy. , so I just hope that you two sisters can be reunited, and you also want to reunite with your sister, right?"

"This..." Chitong was about to say something, but a reminder came from behind her:

"Don't be deceived! Chitong! You are right in choosing the path. No matter how nice this guy's words are! He is just a cold-blooded butcher! Now he just wants to trick you back!"

"Who are you...?" An Yan subconsciously followed the voice, but only saw an unfamiliar blond man with animal ears. He was dressed very coolly. His hands were similar to those of a lion, and he had a tail like a lion's, and his chest was It is a woman who is exaggerated.

"Leone! Today we are here to take your life!!" The woman said her name without hesitation, clenching her fists and staring at him with a murderous look, as if she would give him a hard time in the next second.

However, An Yan just looked her up and down, looked her up and down for a while, then chuckled and shook his head: "No, I don't think you can do it."

"Then add me!" As soon as he finished speaking, a man wrapped in armor appeared.

And he also recognized that iconic armor, which was the Teigu "demon-haunted operating armor". If its user had not been replaced, then this must be Brand, a former imperial soldier, who was also once a subordinate of Levi.

I heard Leva say that Brand is only weaker than Esdeath and the General.

Its strength is quite strong, and the three beast warriors together cannot be an opponent. Unless a group of hostages are added to the sea and Brand is allowed to withstand all the attacks, there is basically no chance of winning.

This made An Yan understand that his chances of winning were very low, and the two Teigu users were probably going to attack the street, but... he still had a smile on his face, and he didn't even regard them as a threat at all, he just waved his hand and said : "It doesn't matter if you don't have to be so murderous. In the final analysis... Even if I stand here and let you kill me, you don't dare to kill me."

"What do you mean? Do you think that because you are an imperial general, we won't dare to take action?" Brand suddenly pointed the spear at him, exuding murderous aura, and it didn't look like he was just trying to scare people.

"I just want to say that in order to avoid being assassinated, I got myself some safety devices in advance."

"Safety device?"

"Yes~ If there is news of my death, or if I lose contact for more than ten days, then my Dark Moon Army will immediately launch an indiscriminate massacre of nearby cities."

Although he had never said such a thing, what he learned from Liwa and his previous judgment from Chitong's words convinced him that these people did not dare to take action, and even raised their heads and stretched out their arms with a smile. neck:

"Of course, if you don't care about the deaths of those civilians, then there's nothing I can do about it, right? So you're welcome, just come, I won't resist!"

"Who would believe you?!" Brand didn't believe it at all and stabbed him in the throat.

However...it only scratched a little, and the spear suddenly stopped.

Because of this complete lack of evasion, Brand was really unsure whether what he said was true or false.

But just by looking so confident, it doesn't look like a lie. It makes people really worried. So how should we deal with it if it is reality?

Even if there was only one percent chance of it being real, they would have no way to gamble or make such a huge bet.

In addition to staying in other areas, the number of scattered Dark Moon troops is not large, only more than 5.

For an empire that can dispatch 12 troops to wipe out [-] foreign ethnic troops, it can only be regarded as an ordinary army.

But that legion, with a total number of more than 5 people, and they are all fanatical believers, might really do those things.

And once it is done, how many casualties those more than 5 well-equipped, fearless fanatic believers will cause to civilians...just thinking about them makes their scalp numb.

An Yan also understood what they were thinking, and understood that people like them had too many worries and would not dare to attack him, so he casually pushed the spear away from his neck with his fingertips, then turned around slowly, Without looking back he said:

"Anyway, we will meet again if we have the opportunity, but I hope that when we meet next time, you can choose to be on my side. I believe that we will have a friendly and pleasant cooperation. After all... In fact, I am not that good. Love the Empire.”

He just left a meaningful sentence and left here leisurely.

But the three of them could only watch him leave, missing the opportunity to kill the enemy general.

Until An Yan was far away, Leonai punched the stone where An Yan was sitting before, breaking the stone into pieces, but she still couldn't help but said angrily: "Let this guy do it like this Are you leaving! This guy is Esdeath's right-hand man and has done more than the three beast warriors! The threat to the revolutionary army is also second only to Esdeath, and he has no idea how much blood is stained on his hands! Now let's Once he’s gone, I don’t know how many revolutionary soldiers and innocent people will die in his hands!”

"...But our hands are also stained with countless blood, even the blood of the revolutionary army." Chitong could only smile bitterly when he heard this.

"...Maybe he can really win over?" Brand also had some hesitation in his heart: "Although he is from the Esdeath faction and has a close relationship with the minister, but...well , can such a person really be won over?"

He tried to convince himself, but thinking that An Yan had perfectly blended in with his ultimate goal, Esdeath, and the minister, without showing any signs of discomfort, made him feel unsure in the end.

This made Chi Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, but it was difficult to say anything.

At the same time, even if they are really in a hostile state, they don't know how to defeat someone like An Yan.

Facing a religious leader leading a large group of armed believers, it felt more difficult for them than Esdeath to some extent.

Unless his followers can be eliminated first, there is no way to attack him.

Because Esdeath, Bude, and others are all proud of being strong...or they may not have thought of this method, so they would not make such a threat. Esdeath even wished that others would fight her with all their strength. fighting.

Of course... they don't have the conditions to make such a threat, because their army basically has no cohesion and mobility after the death of their generals.

.........................

.........................

On the way back, despite being almost assassinated, An Yan was still in a relaxed mood and didn't take the killers seriously at all.

After all, those with overloaded minds...or those with too much conscience cannot pose a threat to him and cannot be called opponents.

No matter how high the force is, you can still deal with them however you want... because their weaknesses are too obvious.

They care so much about civilians even more than their own lives, so with such a simple threat, wouldn't everything fall into place?

"When the time comes, I'll spread the word more. If I capture the cities one by one, as well as the religious doves occupying the magpie's nest on Anning Road, and turn them all into followers of Lani, won't I be invincible? Maybe I can also usurp the throne and create a political and religious system. empire?"

On the way back to the camp, An Yan was thinking about it, and suddenly he thought of forming a super religion. By then, those in the revolutionary army who were fooled into joining would probably be able to find ways to instigate rebellion and come to him.

"But speaking of it, now that there are more believers, Lani shouldn't be able to hear my thoughts. In that case... Well! If it really succeeds, then it will be called the Kallia Empire! It sounds like It is even better than the Kingdom of Kallia. Lani is the princess of Kallia, and I am the emperor of Kallia. Thinking about it this way, she is my god, and I can also be hers - great~! It’s great to think about it! Just do it!”

Even though it was just a subtle advantage in name, it was quite exciting to think about it, and it made his steps on the way back become much more brisk.

However, when he returned to the military tent, he saw Lani, who liked to sit taller than him as before, sitting on the beam of the tent, looking at him with a half-smile.

"....What's wrong? Looking at me like this?"

The cute little doll has a strange smile, which makes him feel inexplicably eerie, making him instinctively want to have his feet oiled.

But just when he turned around, he suddenly felt an irresistible gravity pulling his back feet. With his magic power exhausted and his body weak, he fell to the ground with a plop.

Then... there was a cold touch on my neck.

Lani, who was only a little over 20 centimeters tall, flew down and sat on his neck. She grabbed his ears with a smile and whispered softly:

"An Yan, do you have anything to say to me?"
