Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Looking at Roland looking down at her, Franda was stunned.

Pure oxygen.

As an excellent student who can make bombs by herself, Franda certainly knows this word.

Oxygen, a substance that humans rely on for survival, will become a deadly poison when the concentration is higher than 40%.

After inhaling a large amount of pure oxygen, the initial symptoms are numbness of the body and even loss of the ability to stand.

As Roland said, he gave a fairly equal punishment.

His plan was to suffocate the other party, and in return, he filled the room with pure oxygen.

"No..."

Franda wanted to wail, but suddenly closed her mouth and began to hold her breath.

But this act of drinking poison to quench thirst could not help her at all.

Although she still had some miniature bombs in her hands, in this room filled with a lot of pure oxygen, a slight fire would turn her directly into a pile of residue.

The girl stretched out her hands, grabbed the ground and crawled forward, but in this confined space created by her own hands, for her now, the distance of dozens of meters was like a natural moat.

There was no time to think about the irony of becoming an accomplice in killing herself. Blood flowed out of her eyes due to the rupture of capillaries, but before she completely lost her eyesight, Flanda turned to the only person in the room who could save her.

"Please, save me, I don't want to die here..."

"Are you sure? When I punish you, I will still treat you as a more equal enemy, so I will make a promise."

Looking at Flanda crawling over, Roland chuckled, squatted down, and stroked the girl's head.

"But if you beg for my help here, then you will lose this identity and become completely mine. Is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Thinking of her sister who was still waiting for her return at home, Flanda's emotions completely collapsed.

"I still have a younger sister, she's still waiting for me at home, I can't just die here!"

"Sister?"

Roland blinked and took out his phone to check.

"Fremea Severon, right? I saw that you didn't have much contact with her in the information, I didn't expect you to think so highly of her."

While waiting for ITEM to fall into his trap, Roland also took a rough look at their information.

But compared with the research target, Kinuhata Zuiai, who had a simple experience, or Mai Ye Shenli, who had a traceable history, Flanda's information was much more mysterious.

It's not that her traces were untraceable, on the contrary, it was because Flanda's interpersonal relationships were too complicated.

There were thousands of acquaintances alone, and the degree of contact with her sister, who was her only relative, was probably only at this level, making it impossible for people to understand why she wanted to join the Anbu.

"That's right, after all, this child is only eight years old, and she has lost her support in this city, which does make people worry about her future."

Roland sneered and looked at Flanda thoughtfully.

"So, Flanda, you are still a good sister. For this reason, if you unfortunately die here, I will reluctantly help you comfort this child."

"No, I don't want to die here!"

The pale-faced girl grabbed Roland's legs tightly and cried non-stop.

After Fremea, her weak spot, was easily opened by Roland, the last line of defense in Flanda's heart was also broken.

"Whatever you want me to do, whether it is to serve you with this body or anything else, as long as I can live, it's up to you!"

"Even if the price of living is to let you betray ITEM?"

"Even if you have to betray ITEM!"

"Even if I want you to kill Mai Ye Shenli?"

This statement made Flanda's crying pause for a moment.

It can be said that considering the things she has blown up and the lives she has taken so far, there is no reason to justify the fact that Flanda is an 'evil' girl.

But even such a Flanda has something she cherishes.

The existence of Mai Ye Shen Li is one of them.

Although she is often scolded or even beaten by the other party, she really regards Mai Ye Shen Li as her idol.

On weekdays, it is common for her to act cute or ask for praise from the other party.

Logically speaking, there is no need to hesitate about this choice.

Compared with her own life and her sister's future, this kind of cherishment is nothing.

But that is the best choice under rationality.

Even if she betrays her companions and confidential information, she must desperately beg for mercy from the other party, which is different from having feelings for her companions.

Making such a decision means that she will completely give up her dignity and become Roland's true property.

Under the silent urging of the increasingly dim vision, Flanda's eyes gradually became desperate.

"Even if... even if you have to kill Mai Ye, I will live!"

"What a pleasing statement."

Roland's expression became dangerous, and the smile on his face deepened a little.

He lowered his head, and looked at Flanda, who had already gone blind due to inhaling a large amount of pure oxygen, but still helplessly stretched out her hand to him. He leaned down beside her ear and whispered in her ear.

"In that case, in return for your eternal service to me, let me give you eternal peace of mind."

Then, Roland softly issued the final verdict in a gentle and kind tone.

"——Frenda, come and be my dog."

————

"Takitsubo..."

Kinuhata opened her hazy eyes, and with Takitsubo's hand stretched out from behind, she barely stood up.

During this process, she could clearly hear the "crackling" sound of her bones breaking inside her body.

Even if it would further aggravate her injuries, it was better than lying on the ground before.

"Where's that guy?"

"He went after Frenda who ran away because of fear."

"Really..."

The girl, who had long known Frenda's character, nodded as if she was used to it, and silently mourned for her.

Kinuhata looked around and soon locked her sight on Maiyano Shenli, who was still twitching but whose voice was getting weaker and weaker.

"What should we do next? Run away before that guy comes back?"

Kinuhata was in a dilemma.

Although Takitsubo Riko's ability does not have the conventional combat power, but unlike her lazy appearance, the girl's physical fitness is quite good, and even if she drags herself, it will not affect her actions.

But the question now is not whether to run or not, but... can she run away?

In front of Roland's strange ability, even if she calls for support, how much effect it can have is still unclear.

What's more, the opponent seems to be an existence outside the unified council data. Once exposed, in order to capture Roland who can easily defeat the fourth place, it is possible that ITEM will be directly turned into a victim used to delay time by the upper level.

And whether to bring the immobile Mai Ye Shenli, these are the dilemmas they face.

As if she saw Kinuhata Zui's distress, Takitsubo Riko grabbed a corner of her clothes with her lower hand and pulled it hard.

"What's wrong, Takitsubo?"

"Let's... surrender."

Takitsubo Riko, with a tired and pale face, stared at Kinuhata Zui'ai, who was a head shorter than her.

Her eyes were as calm as the surface of an ancient well, without any hint of joking.

"Huh?"

Although they knew that Takitsubo Riko was always drowsy, at the critical moment, her decisiveness even exceeded her companions' expectations.

But... this was too much, wasn't it?

This was no longer a matter of lack of motivation, but a clear betrayal of the Anbu.

Under Kinuhata's completely confused gaze, after her breathing stabilized a little, Takitsubo Riko said softly.

"After I woke up just now, I found that I could hardly sense the AIM force field."

"But after using the body crystal again, I confirmed that my ability was not invalid."

"It's just that the force field I felt before was too huge and obscured my perception."

Although Takitsubo Riko's words were light, it did not prevent Kinuhata's favorite from understanding this terrifying fact.

When Roland's AIM stance spread, it even exceeded the perception range of Takitsubo Riko, who was a powerful ability user and could open a full map perspective within the range of Academy City.

Even if the area where his ability radiates will weaken with the range, it is still more than enough to cover their movement distance.

"In other words, when he said that he surrounded us, it was not a metaphor, but a statement of fact?"

Kinakihata's favorite scratched her hair in annoyance and sighed deeply.

"This can't be a trap for ITEM from the beginning, right? There is no possibility of victory at all."

Takitsubo Riko pursed her lips slightly and looked at the passage next to her.

"And even if he doesn't act personally, we can't run away. I can confirm that Roland is not in control of the mind."

"Huh?"

Kinakihata's favorite widened her eyes after realizing it belatedly and looked over.

As a result, she knew the answer in the next moment.

Why did Takitsubo Riko decide to give up the mission and resistance and surrender seriously after helping her up?

"It's bad."

Kinakihata's favorite muttered in a low voice.

Because too many things happened, she completely forgot that the original enemy of the mission was not Roland, but another superpower.

"In the final analysis, this is your own fault."

Not far away, the girl with honey-colored hair gathered her hair around her ears and smiled slyly.

"But it really saves me a lot of trouble to cooperate like this. Sit down."

Are you training a dog?

After kneeling on the ground in sync with Takitsubo Riko, Kinuhata finally managed to hold back her desire to complain.

The situation is stronger than people, especially in front of someone who has already controlled her and can read her mind, she must think more carefully.

"Huff..."

Shokuhou Misaki walked over with brisk steps.

Although she was a little curious about why the always arrogant Maiyano Shenli would become foaming at the mouth now, out of the girl's intuition, she gave up the idea of ​​reading her mind.

Shokuhou Misaki was a little unwilling to lose the battle with Maiyano Shenli.

But playing the role of a princess protected by a hero is also one of her favorite romances.

So, after completing the duties of an accomplice and dealing with the aftermath of the spoils,

With an excited smile, Shokuhou raised her head somewhat proudly, looking at the shadow that was gradually lengthening in front of her, ready to receive Roland's praise.

Then, her expression froze.

Because it wasn't just Roland who came over. There was also the blonde girl who was hanging in his arms like a koala.

But in terms of shock, the kneeling Kinuhata was definitely no less shocked than her.

Under the current circumstances, she didn't expect Flanda to escape unscathed, but as a captive, the difference in treatment was too great!

Did Flanda betray herself?

Being stared at by a gaze full of complex emotions, even Flanda, who had already betrayed her ownership from another perspective, felt a little embarrassed and uneasy.

Even though all her injuries had been healed by cell recombination, the painful lesson that was still vivid in her mind made the girl shrink back and move to Roland's arms.

"Um, Mr. Roland, this child is..."

Shokuhou Misaki asked Roland with gritted teeth but cautiously.

"Hmm..."

Roland's expression was also a little subtle, but he decided to tell the truth.

"In terms of relationship, she can be considered my new dog."

"Eh?"

Shokuhou Misaki's eyes were dazed.

"Don't you believe it? Frenda, bark."

"Woof!"

"Eh heh heh heh heh?!"

The girl had long been prepared for Roland to be a scumbag.

But seeing Frenda's transformation into what she is now, Shokuhou Misaki was still a little shocked.

Looking at the serious Roland, Miss Shokuhou sighed helplessly.

After all, Roland had never concealed his true nature from the beginning, and this shock was just the contrast caused by his heroic debut for the first time.

For an enemy who actively invaded and had murderous intentions, no punishment would be excessive.

Moreover, even in terms of identity, she had no right to say anything to Roland.

A close accomplice is just an accomplice.

However, under the subtle emotions in her heart, Miss Shokuhou still pouted slightly.

"Forget it... Now is not the time to discuss it. Next, are we going to interrogate them?"

Hearing this question, Takitsubo Riko, who had been staring at Roland quietly, or rather staring at his pair of true red eyes, also raised her head slightly.

"Don't worry."

She seemed to be in a trance, but she did not forget to pay attention to everything around her.

"ITEM is just a prop for the Anbu. Since it has been captured, leaking the client's information is nothing."

"Ah, this kind of thing doesn't matter. I have already obtained the information about the client. I will deal with him and his forces later."

Roland moved his body slightly, put down Flanda who was clinging to him, and looked at Takitsubo Riko quietly.

"Compared to this, I want to know more, if I want to get ITEM legitimately, what do I need to do?"

Takitsubo Riko was silent for a while, and looked at Kinuhata Sukai at each other.

"The first condition is the recognition of a director or chairman,"

"The second condition is to get the obedience of the current leader of ITEM, or... to change a new leader."

Kinaki loved to answer word by word carefully.

Hearing this answer, Flanda, who was kneeling on the ground and holding Roland's legs, also trembled subconsciously.

"That's too troublesome, let's go with the first method, working with a familiar companion, which is easier for you to accept."

Roland said affirmatively.

"Don't you need to think about it again?"

Looking at Mugino Shenli lying on the ground not far away, Shokuhou Misaki frowned slightly.

"Although Mugino Shenli can't move now, her personality is too unstable and her ability is too dangerous. If she loses control..."

"It doesn't matter, the training has reached the final stage anyway."

"I understand."

Shokuhou Misaki nodded slightly.

With Flanda's precedent, she didn't doubt Roland's methods in this regard.

"Do you need me to do anything?"

Hearing this question, Roland shrugged and said with a smile.

"A secret room is enough."

"Secret room?"

"Yes, a secret room that no detector can find."
