Luther, the chief of the Royal Guard, is a serious and silent man.

It is said that he was a sentry promoted from a border post by the Queen herself. He was a real strong man who was only responsible to the royal family and loyal to Her Majesty the Queen alone. If it weren't for his sudden arrival, no one would have even discovered that the Earl had died tragically in his bedroom.

Luther stood in the luxurious bedroom covered with blood, yellow and white objects, kicked an energy stone rolling at his feet, and showed a look of contempt, "Idiot, you are an A-class sentry after all. You were killed before you could even trigger the alarm."

The subordinate sergeant came in, stood at attention and saluted, and reported the results of the investigation to him.

"He's an old hand. He used the Count's personal terminal to wipe out all the video records and disable most of the security systems. He did it very skillfully, and the data is basically irrecoverable. I'm afraid we won't be able to find any information. We don't know who he is or where he came from."

"I know a little bit about everything, I can have invitations, I'm familiar with the terrain here. I can also kill the A-level sentries without alerting the guards." Luther squatted down and twirled the traces on the floor with his fingers. " He also knows how to destroy the brain to prevent us from tracing the memory of the deceased."

He stood up and pointed at a collapsed sofa in the bedroom. The sturdy sofa was completely deformed, and there was a terrible dent on the floor, but there was not a trace of blood.

"There are traces of a mental and physical battle here. The killer is most likely a Sentinel. He wouldn't be unscathed at this banquet. James isn't that incompetent."

He took off his gloves, strode out, and gave instructions.

"Let all the sentries gather at the banquet hall, including the security office and the palace guards."

"Tell them to take off their clothes and check for fresh wounds. Immediately. Don't let anyone be left behind."

The soft music in the hall stopped and the lights came on brightly.

The guests gathered in different corners according to their status, whispering to each other. The countess looked very bad, sitting at the top of the table, covering her face with a feather fan, and no one knew what she was thinking.

All the sentries were summoned to the center of the hall and stood in unison. They were asked to take off their coats and check for any injuries.

Although the sentries were swearing, both men and women calmly took off their outer clothes and trousers one by one, leaving only their vests or undershirts.

The sentries were calm about taking off their clothes, and were even keen on showing off their muscular bodies in front of so many guides.

On the contrary, most of the guides who retreated to the corner, regardless of gender, blushed and avoided looking. Only a few were brave enough to take a peek.

It is a consensus in this world that sentinels can regard the body as beautiful, but guides need to be gentle, loyal, and have a sense of shame.

Ni Ji unbuttoned his coat and shirt. There was no other clothing inside.

His black vest and headscarf were stained with blood during the operation, and he had already secretly cut them into pieces and flushed them into the sewer while Tan Shu was still sleeping.

At this time, he took off his outer clothes, revealing his naked upper body and firm muscles, which attracted a lot of attention.

Ni Ji looked thin, but he looked very attractive after taking off his clothes. Broad shoulders, strong waist, tight abdominal muscles, old and new scars brought back from the battlefield are staggered all over the body.

Many people were looking at him, but he stood there calmly, but his eyes several times silently fell to the corner where the guides were.

The guides were driven to a corner of the banquet hall. As they were weak, they were considered the least likely to be the murderer, so they were the last to be identified.

Lin Yuan blended in with the crowd and quietly poked her head out. She wanted to take advantage of the moment when all the sentries were there to find the person who had just hidden in the pipe.

The Count was murdered, the sentinels were hiding in the pipes, and there were those blood feuds that I had seen in my memories.

Lin Yuan felt vaguely that he had guessed something.

Is that sentry also looking for her? He wouldn’t want to kill her to silence her, right?

She felt that, according to normal human logic, when doing such a secretive and dangerous thing, they would not let go of an outsider who had discovered the truth.

But it's hard to say.

That person is just like me, a gambler with abnormal thinking.

Lin Yuan didn't recognize him the first time. She had only seen Ni Ji many years ago, and a few days ago, Ni Ji was tied to a rack, with blood all over his face.

She simply didn't equate the sentry in the crowd with his handsome features and neatly combed hair with the ferocious prisoner from a few days ago.

The tentacles pointed it out to her.

They all bent their tips in the same direction.

[That one, that one. ]

[It's that big fish, that's the one. 】

[There, there he is. 】

[He was also looking at us, and I noticed it. ]

Lin Yuan saw him. He was tall and thin with an upright figure. For a sentinel, his appearance was even prettier than many guides.

Noticing Lin Yuan's gaze, the handsome, shirtless sentry gave her an angry and shy look.

Angry and ashamed?

Why was there such an emotion? Lin Yuan once doubted whether her perception was wrong.

Not murderous intent, not threats, and not anger?

But it is a very complicated thing, with a bit of shame in the resentment, and also a little gratitude and kindness.

Lin Yuan knew that he often couldn't understand the emotions of people around him. It had been like this before, and this time he didn't understand it at all.

It's all your fault. What rude things did you do to others?

She blamed her mental body.

[No, I touched my head.]

【Step on the bottom of your feet. It's me. 】

[I touched my fingers.]

[The collar got in, just a little bit.]

[I like the moon-shaped ankle, you know. 】

[I didn't do anything, I promise. Ah, he's so sweet.]

Finally, they all swore solemnly, "No, it's none of our business. We didn't do anything rude to him."

Lin Yuan covered his head with his hands.

Is this the so-called feeling of shame? Now she seems to have some understanding of this feeling.

Anyway, I'm leaving here right away and I won't see this person again.

Can't see it, can't see it.

No matter him, no matter him,

It's okay. It's okay.

After she completed the psychological suggestion, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It relieves the rare psychological fluctuations.

In the sentry team, Jiang Yangshuo was assigned next to Ni Ji.

The man standing next to Jiang Yangshuo stood with his legs apart, his hands behind his back, motionless as a clock. His body was covered with frightening scars. He had a completely different aura from theirs, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a sentry from the border.

Jiang Yangshuo stretched out his hand to him, "Ni Ji, I've heard of you. The hero of the Northern Outpost, the Ice Blade. When did you come back?"

Ni Ji heard the sound of his voice and glanced over. He immediately recognized the man by his voice.

Just now, he was lying in a dark and closed pipe and heard the entire conversation between this man and her.

Ni Ji smiled calmly and shook hands with Jiang Yangshuo neither too cold nor too hot.

But an inexplicable complex emotion rose in his heart. This emotion came without any reason, like a thorn stuck in his heart, which could not be pulled out or touched, stuck there, making him uncomfortable, and making him inexplicably angry.

This man is so lucky to be matched with that person.

He actually doesn't want her.

You can't bear it, right? Incompetent idiot.

The sergeant in charge of the inspection looked around but did not find any injured sentry at the scene.

"That's the spiritual body." Luther listened to his report and looked around the room.

"The only traces of a fight left at the crime scene were caused by the spirits. James' spirit is a giant crocodile. It would be difficult for the murderer to break through it and kill James in an instant without paying a price. Either the original body or the spirit will definitely have obvious scars from being bitten by a crocodile."

He took a quick look and felt that all the sentinels at the banquet, including the Jiang family's rookie who had been quite high-profile in recent years, were mostly good-for-nothings.

If this murder had not provoked the Queen's dignity and he happened to be at the scene, he would not even be bothered to "turn on his perception" and take a look at these people.

Among so many people, only a few were worth looking at. Among them, a tall and thin young man attracted his attention the most.

Luther narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the scarred young man.

The man quickly noticed his gaze and looked back at him calmly, frankly and at ease, not at all afraid of his pressure.

An interesting guy.

I hope he is not the murderer.

The spiritual bodies of the sentinels appeared one by one.

Everyone was competing to change their spirit bodies to show their most ferocious and majestic appearance. At one time, eagles, coyotes, brown bears, and giant crocodiles took turns to show their bodies. The roars of tigers and wolves echoed in the spacious banquet hall.

It's a rare opportunity like this, finally we can compete on strength instead of wealth or appearance.

The high-level sentinels' spirit bodies deliberately released pressure, causing the low-level sentinels' spirit bodies to tremble in fear, crawl on the ground, and be unable to raise their heads.

As a result, some people are proud, while others are ashamed.

Jiang Yangshuo's spiritual form is a majestic cheetah.

A beast with golden pupils stepped out of the void. It was huge, several times the size of a normal cheetah. It even reached the size of an African elephant, and almost occupied a small corner of the banquet hall.

The majestic giant cheetah looked around the crowd, bared its teeth and growled, causing a burst of exclamations from the surrounding people.

The more powerful the Sentinel is, the more capable he is of making his spiritual body larger.

Jiang Yangshuo didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly pleased. He humbly made a gesture to Ni Ji, indicating that it was his turn. However, he looked towards the guide group, wanting to see if Lin Yuan was looking at him.

Among so many sentinels, his spirit and body stood out. Did Xiaoyuan see it? Did he regret it in his heart?

Just as he was daydreaming in his mind, the arrogant patrolling cheetah shook its body, and its huge body shrank back visibly, even tucked its tail and hid behind Jiang Yangshuo.

Almost everyone at the scene felt a chill at the same time. It was as if the cold sea water came with waves, sweeping across the entire banquet hall, and the cold water surface flooded everyone's ankles.

A unique and clear cry sounded, as if coming from the underworld, from the deep sea, passing through everyone's eardrums and lingering in their minds.

The high, high dome turned into the starry sky, the nine underworlds were connected, and the void descended.

A huge, mountainous whale poked its black and white head out of the dome.

Along with the mysterious ancient cry of whales, the head of the giant fish slowly appeared in the air, pressing down on everyone's heads.

Everyone looked up in a daze, staring in amazement at the huge body that was slowly emerging. There, the killer whale's head almost occupied the entire roof, revealing those beautiful patterns outlined by smooth lines.

The upper body was intact, and the spirit was strong and powerful. It was impossible for it to be a traumatized spirit.

Besides, it was too big and could hardly fit into the room. There was no point in looking at it any further.

"Alright, alright, take it back." Luther waved his hand, not letting the killer whale continue to show off its huge body. He understood the sentinel's little thoughts in front of the guides. "One or two peacocks spread their tails, why make such a big fuss? If this whole fish squeezes in, won't it tear down the house?"

Ni Ji calmly recovered his spiritual body, as if he still had some regrets.

No one knew that if they waited a little longer, the tail fin bitten by the crocodile and exposed with bones would be exposed in front of everyone.

But he won the bet, didn’t he?

He smiled and glanced at Jiang Yangshuo beside him.

He also quietly and calmly turned his gaze towards where the guides were.

That person, did she see it?
