Number one is dead!
When Su Mei received the notification of comic update, she had already returned to the hotel.
He took out the food he had bought in advance and said to Xiaoman, "I was chatting with someone for a while. I came back late. Sorry." - It was the truth, but there was no need to elaborate on who he was chatting with.
Xiaoman didn't suspect anything and made preparations to leave Bronze City tomorrow as usual.
After she fell asleep, Su Mei gently sent her back to bed, left a prepared farewell letter on her pillow, and left quietly, clicking the buy button as she walked.
He felt guilty for the trust that he had gained and the fact that she could sleep peacefully beside him, but he knew that "Su Mei" could only last until this moment at most. This was destined from the moment the character was established.
The young boy Sumei looks innocent, but he is a bereaved dog full of hatred, stumbling and running in the darkness with the blood of his relatives in his mouth. Xiaoman, on the other hand, is still the light and free wind. She has an endless future, and she still wants to see the distant mountains and sea.
So in fact, from the beginning, they were not compatible with each other.
For the sake of plot and emotional continuity, he must kill Mansa before leaving the Bronze City.
When the news of Mansa's death spreads, the whole city will be investigated, so he must leave as soon as possible and rush to the Sixth City in advance to complete the remaining half of his "revenge" on Elretna Flora, pushing Su Mei's story to the final climax, thereby gaining chips for establishing the next character.
Although there was not a single unawakened Golden Blood among the group of Abandoned Ones who were crushed into dust by the siblings during their casual play, they still deserved to die.
The snow-white giant beast was running in the wilderness close to the road, and Yuan Qian took the opportunity to read the update.
The cover page of the sixth chapter of the comic "The Incomplete" shows a pink-haired brother and sister sitting opposite each other in a sunny garden. They are wearing gorgeous and beautiful clothes, and are facing the screen with their sides in a very symmetrical manner. The nearby flowers just completely cover their faces, and the corners of the light-colored tablecloth hanging from the edge of the small round table are faintly stained with blood.
The content of this episode was pretty much what he had expected, with Winchester appearing in a tightly wrapped image at the beginning. Since it only confirmed the information about the human trafficking business and did not give any other attention-grabbing features, the barrage was relatively sparse, and it just lamented for those children who had brought disaster and torture upon themselves because of their appearance.
When they set out for the Mercenary Guild, some readers commented "Fishing law enforcement is OK" and "Free wallpaper", and they were very happy.
When Elly Ratna, who commissioned the two to help find her brother, appeared, the comics actually gave a very beautiful large picture, which made the pink-haired woman look somewhat holy and beautiful despite her ordinary clothes. This was probably to set off the reversal that followed.
But the readers were unaware of this at the moment, and they all looked at the beautiful new lady.
[Oh, this is the indispensable saint village girl of the brave crew! The taste is right! ]
[Village girl? City girl! ]
[She is a commoner lady (correction)]
[This looks just like a heroine...]
What about the little wolf cub?
[Our wolf cub is the male protagonist! Confirm and show the narrow waist and long legs Su Li bursting screenshots ABCDE]
[I understand. I support the monogamy of the little wolf cubs with both hands and feet.]
...That's not possible. Flowers are beautiful but they are poisonous. Yuan Qian shook his head in his heart.
Perhaps they were worried that reversing the painting too late would cause readers to form a wrong first impression of Elliott, so just half a page after they accepted the commission, there was her meeting with Winchester.
The confrontation takes place in a friendly manner, with the narrator considerately noting Winchester's true identity when he says Elliott's name.
[…Mom]
[No wonder you have the same pink hair as the guy in front, it turns out his sister is you]
[The lord of the city next door came here to do this? What's the purpose? Do you like to watch the show? ]
[Come and follow the plan to sell my brother in real time (tea), the situation is under our control]
[I've made enough money, and the weather is getting cold. It's time to let my younger brother, who has used up all his value, be the scapegoat——]
[This is putting an angel face but a devil heart on the face]
[Little wolf cub, run away! If the pink-haired girl doesn't act like a little angel, she must be a bad person! ]
Yuan Qian said that the readers were right.
The following plots are all centered on Xiaoman, from the conversation under the sunset to his singing to put Xiaoman to sleep, and even Winchester's arrival to deliver clues and the rescue that night that escalated the situation. All of them were drawn out leisurely with ample space, which made Yuan Qian curious about how many people there are in the Fanxing Studio in the comic author column to maintain such a frequency and quality of painting at a weekly pace.
After Su Mei deliberately said something suggestive, Xiao Man remembered that he had never mentioned where his next stop would be, so he asked.
[Ahhh, this peaceful yet sad smile, I want to touch his head and let them be carefree and happy children...]
[The FLAG smell is getting stronger again, is it too late to start crying in advance now?]
[He is so nice! He can even sing to the little wolf cub who dreamed of his mother! Don’t kill him!]
[Pink Star, I’m warning you, don’t do it again, don’t take away the little wolf cub’s sense of security——]
[Winchester's nonsense in person doesn't even trigger a judgment? Is he immune to Xiaoman's talent? ]
【Just a joke, weak businessman】
[Xiaoman jumps out of the car and unlocks these few compartments. He looks so cool! My son is a super cool baby! ]
[Ah? The mastermind is that pink-haired guy? Is my sister innocent after all? ]
[After watching the conversation in the previous episode, it is true that even if it was eavesdropped, it can only be said that she was shielding and condoning...]
[It is common for people to find out their relatives have made mistakes but choose not to report them. We cannot convict her based on these facts.]
[It's even more suspicious because it's flawless...]
All the discussions in the bullet screen ended with the last scene where Mansa was killed.
This plot unfolds entirely from Mansa's perspective. The pale figure who comes for revenge is unfamiliar to Mansa, but the reader has seen this face from many angles, so even if there is only a vague outline immersed in the darkness, he can recognize it at a glance.
When Su Mei explained the reason for her visit, the barrage was as quiet as Mansa himself. Yuan Qian waited for a long time before the number slowly increased.
[Oh my god, another explosion unfolds]
[…So he came to Bronze City to seek revenge.]
[If you are tortured, you should torture in return...]
[He just described it in one word without describing how deep his hatred was towards the murderer, because he knew it was useless? ]
[I want to say don't get your hands dirty, but if my family was treated like that I would have gone crazy]
[My sister is only four years old, she is super cute and adorable. I have turned into a girl-showing maniac. If anyone dares to hurt her, I will kill them even if I have to risk my life! ]
If Yuan Qian were to give an objective evaluation, this section of Su Mei, portrayed from Mansa's perspective, is actually quite creepy, and it feels like a ghost story. He really performed exceptionally well.
However, this atmosphere did not make the readers have negative emotions about retreating from him, but only discussed his actions. This also proves that the character of Su Mei is stable in the readers' hearts.
This update ended after Su Mei said "only one left". Seeing the increasing number of readers' comments shifting the focus to the fact that Su Mei's gentle personality was overturned, and that there would probably not be more reference discussions in the short term, he closed the virtual window that was invisible to others.
In the readers' timeline, "The Incomplete" may still be a comic that is updated regularly every week, with enough buffer between the next update for them to digest and break down the plot, but Yuan Qian is now in another world, his time is continuous, and he has to rely on this kind of acting to survive. Now that the play has begun, it must be pushed to the end in one go.
I really want to go to the forum built by readers. There must be a lot of useful and detailed analysis there. Yuan Qian confirmed that the price required to unlock the browsing rights of the comic forum was a full 100,000 emotional points, and could only sigh sadly.
As there was only one enemy left, he ran at full speed without any worries and arrived at the sixth city before daybreak.
Fortunately, he had already found out that the last three cities named Jinuo, Flora and Ivy were built and planned by the same person in the same era, and the layout is still almost exactly the same. Su Mei sneaked into the city lord's mansion quickly while the night was still thick, bypassed the guards, and successfully kidnapped Ellyretna's butler.
Ellyretna used benefits and hidden threats to control the servants, but the boy's cold and crazy tone mixed with the fire of revenge made the butler believe that if his plan was hindered, he would kill all his relatives without stopping.
So the butler made a choice quickly and told the whereabouts of the Lord of Flora.
The master of the City of Games and Flowers is not sleeping in a bedroom in the City Lord's Mansion at this moment, but is entertaining a distinguished guest from afar on the tallest and most symbolic building in the city - the Triumphal Tower, which overlooks the entire city's streets.
Su Mei quickly headed towards the building.
The process of climbing the Tower of Triumph did not take too much time. His inherent fighting instinct helped him to overcome most of the obstacles. As for the remaining obstacles that he could not escape immediately, he used his appearance and the token he stole from Mansa Kino to lie that the gentleman had asked him to bring a message and got away with it.
But... it was too smooth, Yuan Qian thought.
But his original plan was just to "kill Mansa and then assassinate Eleritna", and even failure would be more in line with the story. The city lord's protection could not be weak, and the possibility of a Golden Blood who was not the strongest to succeed in assassination could not be said to be absolutely zero, but when it comes to personal heroism, it is still reasonable for him to fail.
After all, the one who can escape certain death and defeat impossible and powerful enemies is the [protagonist].
And he is just a supporting role. He is here to earn some emotional points to make a living, and he cannot bear the heavy mission that is equal to such good fortune.
In the reception room used by the city lord, there were indeed two people chatting. The man sitting opposite the pink-haired woman had two long, beautifully forked pale golden horns and long, light blue hair that fell softly on his magic robe.
He has a delicate face whose age is hard to tell, and he seems very young, but his deep blue eyes are shrouded in a faint mysterious mist, making him look like a wise old man. The characteristics of the city lord's guest as a mithril blood are as obvious as his identity as a person from the magic city.
And the city lord, Su Mei, saw her appearance.
That face was actually that of the pink-haired girl named "Effie" whom he had seen up close before.
He should have taken action immediately, but he was stunned for a moment by this unexpected fact and was immediately hit by an ice arrow over a foot long shot by the guest. Fortunately, he dodged in time and only scratched his arm.
Blood splattered everywhere, and Ellyretna, who was much smarter than her brother, stood up and prepared to evacuate.
If there were subordinates or other officials and nobles present at this moment, she might have sat there calmly and launched a verbal attack. Fortunately, the only witness was the spellcaster. They did not care about these superficial etiquette and manners, nor would they lower their evaluation of Elerytna because of this. Of course, preserving their own noble lives was the most important thing.
This is Su Mei's last chance for revenge, and she will not let her escape so easily. The young man in white chases her relentlessly, as if he knows no pain, his white hair fluttering, and he no longer gives the impression of being as soft as a cloud, but rather a shadow that follows the dancing of an evil spirit.
The speed at which the golden blood erupted should not be underestimated. In just two breaths of time, Elerytna was close to the exit and was forced to retreat. In the narrow space, even the spellcaster was almost injured, and a real fear appeared on his face.
But the other guards nearby would arrive soon, and as long as he couldn't kill his enemy immediately, he would be besieged and killed sooner.
——So before that, the boy grabbed Elerytna, broke through the high window of the Triumph Tower, and jumped out.
The snow-white, slender shadow transformed into a beast in mid-air, and its sharp teeth crushed the enemy's body in one bite.
The caster's ice arrow was a step late after all, and even if it pierced the white fox right after, it would be of no use.
The blood rain, the remains and the assassin's transformed body fell simultaneously onto the streets of Flora City. Later, the blue-haired spellcaster slowly landed on the ground.
He used magic to float the city lord's pink-haired head and said calmly: "Your clothes are very special. They can actually interfere with spells - even without the Mithril Blood, they can still play this role on you. It took me some time to correct it."
"Cough... cough. It's just a small thing that person made casually." Su Mei lay on the ground, coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood foam. She was in great pain but was smiling.
"Who is that person?"
"I have no idea."
Su Mei ignored him. The boy, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, tilted his head to look at the night sky and the moon that were gradually fading, and raised his hand as if he wanted to touch it.
But he was injured too badly, and the hand soon fell down weakly.
The life force completely drained from those beautiful golden eyes.
In another city, the girl suddenly woke up. She jumped out of bed and opened her usually calm blue eyes in panic.
The room was empty except for herself.
——It’s like home after burying my mother.
