César estimated the length of the comic and unbuttoned his uniform in front of the dressing mirror in the room.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next chapter of the comics should be updated right after he takes McCann away.

The black-haired boy smiled at himself in the mirror.

After all, he had promised the comics that, at least for now, he would follow the rules. So he would not rush to prove some conjectures, but would guide readers step by step.

But this also requires skills.

This is a question of talent. If there is only a general direction, the probability of failure will be very high.

——But if he "publicly announces" the specific operating methods, ability limitations, etc. to the readers, showing an extremely precise illusion, then the probability of success will be almost 100%.

Now all that was left was to quietly wait for the limit of Macon's patience to be reached.

…

As expected, Xia Zuo saw McKen returning to the cell that night.

The man was not as strong as he had imagined, but the muscles hidden in his prison uniform undoubtedly showed explosive power. His hair was cut very short, and his pair of reddish-brown eyes looked like blood in the dark.

Xia Zuo felt vaguely uncomfortable.

There seemed to be a lot of blood on this man's hands.

Macken stared at him gloomily, stroking the steel ring on his left thumb with his right hand: "Xia Zuo Kaili... Humph. You are very good to be able to injure the cheetah."

"He was the one who started the fight with me." Xia Zuo retorted, and said cautiously: "If you want to do something to me, I will beat you up like I beat him up. I promise."

McKen narrowed his eyes, glanced at him from top to bottom, sneered, and suddenly pressed down with his right hand. Suddenly, a sharp spike appeared under Xia Zuo's feet and pierced his abdomen at lightning speed.

The brown-haired boy's pupils shrank.

Still Life Manipulation.

He quickly retreated to avoid the attack, but the spikes quickly changed direction and continued to chase him.

Xia Zuo's eyes darkened, he flipped backwards and jumped up, contracting his body and pressing it against the wall, then he exerted force on the muscles in his legs, kicked off with his feet, and rushed towards McKen like lightning.

His golden eyes were filled with the ferocity of a wild animal. He raised his right fist.

——Once a person dies, nothing can be controlled.

The brown-haired boy's speed was so fast that people could hardly react in time. However, at this moment, McKen, who instinctively sensed the danger, immediately activated his ability and used the steel ring on his thumb to form an umbrella-shaped defense wall in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"boom!!"

The steel wall did not block Xia Zuo's attack for long, and a hole was directly pierced through it. It seemed that Xia Zuo was slightly better.

Xia Zuo secretly thought that something was wrong. His combat instinct suddenly kicked in, urging him to leave quickly.

But it was too late.

Mikan raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

The steel wall just now was not for defense at all. As long as they could hold Xia Zuo back for a moment, they would win, because -

"laugh."

The sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh rang out without giving people any time to react.

——The gap created by Xia Zuo instantly gathered towards the middle, and the jagged edge deeply penetrated into his arm.

Blood gushed out instantly, dyeing the iron-black steel wall red.

Just a little bit more and the brown-haired boy's entire arm would be cut off.

However, neither the severe pain nor the failure affected his fighting instinct.

The moment he realized something was wrong, Xia Zuo did not try to pull his arm free. Instead, he decisively pushed the edge again and used his left hand to cooperate. Despite the consequences of worsening injuries, he tore the steel wall in half.

——If he had hesitated for one more second, his injury would not be so deep that the bone could be seen, but he would have lost an arm directly.

Xia Zuo took a few steps back, sweat breaking out on his forehead from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound. He didn't even treat himself because of the pain. He just stared at McKen warily like a wolf cub.

McKen felt a little regretful when he saw that his arm was not removed, but at the same time he was secretly surprised by the opponent's strength.

You have to know that the boy in front of him is not yet an adult, while he is already over 40 years old. There is a gap of almost 30 years of experience between them, but Xia Zuo's combat instinct and mentality are actually catching up with him.

McCann felt a strong sense of crisis.

However, he has always been a cautious person. He felt that the other party seemed to have not used his talent yet, and his own talent had also been consumed to a certain extent. It was not cost-effective to risk everything to kill him here.

It would be better to wait a few more days, test out Xia Zuo's talent, and then inflict more injuries on him. When I finally kill him, I will feel much more relaxed.

Mikan put away the steel wall and fell asleep without saying a word.

Xia Zuo also slowly leaned against the wall and sat on his bed.

...Cesare was right, he was no match for Mikan, but Mikan would not kill him immediately.

Feeling the chill from the back of his neck, Xia Zuo quickly cleared his mind and tried to comfort Ursula, who could read his mind, with his inner voice: "Don't worry, I can heal my arm if it's not broken. Besides, didn't Caesar say that he won't kill me now?"

Ursula had a blank expression on her face, but her invisible tentacles were twisting wildly as if they were anxious. Where McKen couldn't see, the dim vertical pupils on those squirming limbs stared at him intently without blinking.

"I'm not worried about you."

Xia Zuo curved his eyes and smiled: "I know, I know, hiss... it hurts QAQ."

Ursula: “…”

She ran away to play without being bothered.

Xia Zuo resisted the urge to use his talent, tore off the bed sheet to bandage himself simply, then lay down on the bed and hypnotized himself to sleep.

Mikan must have wanted to wait until he was seriously injured - so seriously that his combat power was greatly reduced before he would really take action. The rest of the time he would definitely focus on other parts of his body. If he healed himself, what would happen if Mikan's appointment with him for a solo kill was delayed?

If we delay, something unexpected will happen. Keeping such a powerful enemy will be a disaster. Xia Zuo understands this simple truth.

Caesar's plan cannot be affected just because he can't bear the pain.

Xia Zuo closed his eyes and gradually fell into an uneasily deep sleep.

After he fell asleep, Ursula, who had been running around in and outside the cell, came back and stood beside Xia Zuo's bed, looking at him silently, especially his injured arm.

“…”

After a few seconds, she placed her hands on her other shoulder, closed her eyes, and made a resting gesture.

Sleep peacefully.

This way it won’t hurt.

For the next few nights, McKen would suddenly attack Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo also tried to strike first, but McKen had many years of combat experience after all, and he would activate his ability the moment he sensed danger. Especially since he had a ring on his hand, he didn't need to find a carrier for his ability elsewhere.

They fought for several nights, and Xia Zuo was abused for several nights.

However, the more seriously Xia Zuo was injured, the harder he fought. Even McKen was surprised by him. In the last attack, Xia Zuo was so ruthless that he almost broke his arm.

“…”

Mikan's eyes grew darker.

We can't wait any longer.

This is just an evolving mad dog, right?

He didn't dare to let the other party grow any further, and sneered and said: "I will have someone notify you of the location at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, do you dare to come?"

Xia Zuo recovered his strength and said nothing.

Mikan narrowed his eyes. “If I don’t see you tomorrow, your friends will…”

"I will go."

The brown-haired boy gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.

…

"Xia Zuo was abused again yesterday. The injury was on his right calf, which was pierced by a steel spike with a diameter of more than ten centimeters."

Ursula's voice without fluctuations came from the earring.

But people who know her well can hear the evil thoughts surging in her that she doesn't know how to express.

"McCann will start today, at nine o'clock. He will have someone bring the location to Xia Zuo later."

"I see."

Cesar said calmly.

Every morning in the past few days, Ursula would "report" to him about Xia Zuo's miserable condition with an expressionless face.

Her tone sounded like a complaint about Xia Zuo's ability, but in reality it was no different from complaining to a trusted parent.

"Ursula, can you remember what injuries Xia Zuo suffered in the past few days?"

Cesar said.

"I have a good memory," Ursula said affirmatively, remembering something.

Hearing this, the black-haired boy smiled and said, "That's great."

"We can let Mikan taste these injuries himself."

…

In the dark warehouse, McCann sat on boxes of sundries, nonchalantly fiddling with the ring on his thumb, but in fact he was secretly alert.

But...what if Xia Zuo went to call for help?

There aren't many gifted people in this prison.

As the whistle sounded for the exercise time, it was nine o'clock.

Mikan stretched his muscles, stared at the door, and lowered his hands to touch the ground.

His attack range is twenty meters in radius with him as the radius.

The distance from here to the warehouse gate is just right.

“Squeak—”

The door of the warehouse was pushed open, and light from the outside suddenly poured in. The young man stood at the door, and because of the backlight, people could only see a silhouette.

This silhouette also looks like a teenager, but his hair seems to be tied back behind his head, so the length is not clear.

In order to seize the initiative, McKen didn't think too much and instantly activated his ability, trying to control the ground under the boy's feet to attack.

However, things did not go as he imagined.

Mikan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at his men, only to see that the ground he was supposed to touch was not the ground at all, but a huge open yellow eye.

"!!"

Before he could react, he felt a long, thin, flexible tentacle roll his ring out and throw it in the corner of the warehouse with a "ding-dong" sound.

Immediately afterwards, countless tentacles with the same touch but thicker wrapped around him and lifted him directly into the air.

The whole process takes less than three seconds.

Mikan, unable to use his abilities, was unable to fight back.

"The role of a team is to supplement the deficiencies of teammates and to be able to use the simplest and most effective means to restrain any enemy we encounter."

"What do you think of this level of restraint, Mikan?"

The young man who had been standing quietly at the door and watching everything happen finally walked in slowly. After getting away from the backlight environment, McKen was shocked to find that he was not Xia Zuo Carey as he thought.

——It was the supervisor who looked like he could kill someone with just one hand, César.

"You plotted against me...!" he said hatefully.

"Calculation?" The black-haired boy blinked. "Perhaps. But this is just an appetizer... Close the door, Ursula."

The door behind him slammed shut.

The whole room fell into dead silence and darkness again.

The black-haired boy took out a blade as thin as a cicada's wing from his sleeve without any hurry, and slowly put on the white gloves that matched the silk uniform. He smiled and said, "The materials are limited, and there are no black gloves. I can only make do with this."

"Although white gloves are more visible, they are better than nothing..."

His smile showed no emotion, and his eyes were calm as if he was looking at a pile of unrecyclable garbage.

"——Please don't despise me."

…

…

At the same time, reality.

【Here it comes, the update is finally here!!】

【Cesare Noodles】

【Xia Zuo Noodles】

【Ursula Noodles】

[…Your advanced barrages are disturbing my eyes ()]

【This time’s cover…】

[So damn handsome]

On the colorful cover, the brown-haired boy and the black-haired boy stand back to back, while Ursula is hidden in the shadows in the background.

Xia Zuo, who was facing the audience, was a battle-damaged version, with many bloodstains on his clothes, and a few traces of blood at the corners of his lips and eyes. However, his golden eyes were filled with burning fighting spirit. He stared straight ahead, with all the muscles in his body tensed, as if he could continue to attack at the next moment.

The black-haired boy behind him was wearing a black and blue uniform, with his long black hair tied into a high ponytail. He tilted his head slightly, lowered his eyes and looked nonchalantly outside the screen, and was slowly putting on snow-white gloves.

[I like putting on and taking off gloves the most.]

[Shashasha, my wife is so sweet! ! ]

[Battle-damaged Xia Bao (cover your saliva)]

[I feel like Xiao Xia was screwed, and then Xizel went to get back at him, hahahaha]

[This look, this action... Caesar has murderous intent (tactical retreat)]

[Holding high the banner of Ze Xia, Xi Ze must be wearing gloves because he wants to kill someone hehehe]

The very impactful cover picture immediately ignited the atmosphere, and the barrage of comments happily kept supporting the CP and guessing the plot, and they would only turn the page when they had seen enough.

[I am dying of laughter. Is Ursula having a fight with the mouse?]

[Correction: Xia Zuo and Lao Shu are at odds with each other ()]

[I really laughed so hard that I looked for my head all over the floor. Xia Zuo, just give in~]

[Xize, you are so evil, you actually threw the rat soup to Xia Zuo (pointing)]

[But my sick wife is so weak, I like her so much prprpr]

In the comics, the pleasant daily transition passed quickly, and Wilson took César to a separate room for communication.

At this point, César's identity for the next period of time was revealed, and he got the "Supervisory" identity card.

[I guessed it right! ! Yay! ! ]

[Wilson is really trying hard to get Cesar under supervision, it's hilarious]

【Cesare: I am so weak, innocent and pitiful.jpg】

[Wait! ! Look, Zexia girl! ! What did Xizel say! ! ]

[“You don’t know Xia Zuo well enough”, awsl]

[I am from the Civil Affairs Bureau, I am here to witness the marriage manually]

[So the subtext of this sentence is "I understand him", right?]

[This damn sweet royal friendship, kowtow, kowtow to me! ]

[There is no need to be obsessed with CP, friendship is good enough]

[Let me be frank, the three protagonists are simply a paradise for CP fans]

This harmonious atmosphere lasted until prison uniforms and supervision systems appeared.

There was a moment of silence in the barrage.

[I reasonably suspect that... Xizel picked the supervisor because of the color of his uniform ()]

[Xia Zuo, I love you]

[As expected of you, Caesar, you still have a dark heart.]

[I’m dying of laughter. Wilson’s eyes are so complicated hahahaha]

[Xia Bao, wake up! You look more like a fool! ]

[But this is a first-level prison, so it should be able to bring out César's talent, right? ]

The comic has been serialized for such a long time, it would be too much to continue hiding it!

[I also think that the talent will be revealed, because the dangers of the next step, whether it is the picket tower or Eastwood, are not comparable to the Federation. The plot of the central prison should be a transition.]

[Nishizawa’s acting is amazing, right? If I hadn’t read the comics, I would have believed him.]

[Driver: What a pity for such a good child, Wilson: What a pity for such a good prison]

[Are you trying to make me laugh to death, hahahaha]

[I just want to see if there are any other people who have misunderstood César. You know, those who had such misconceptions before were slapped in the face.]

[Can anyone see clearly what book César is holding? ]

[…Human anatomy? I think it’s this.]

【？ ？ ？】

【He is really, I cried to death ()】

[Central Level 1 Prison (x) Central Level 1 Knife Training Center (√)]

【Pertinent, correct】

Probably because the Level 1 Prison is a relatively important plot location, unlike the previous prisons, this time the comics give it plenty of shots, and the guards drawn in are all well-trained.

In the prisoner cells further away, all kinds of prisoners gathered here, and finally, the picture stopped at a pair of hands with rings on their thumbs.

The camera then cut back.

Xizel and Xia Zuo went in different directions. In the comics, only one empty cell was shown, indicating that the other person in the cell was not there at the moment.

There are more shots of the black-haired boy.

[“I hope your two sets of uniforms can last a few more days”… Is that what I thought it meant? ]

[So exciting]

[With Caesar's face, if he doesn't have enough strength, he will definitely be coveted]

[In fact, I think the most striking thing about Caesar is his temperament, which is the kind of thing that will completely overwhelm the surprise brought by his face after getting to know him in a close-to-real way.]

[Yes, yes, and it seems that Xizel has a unique trick to reduce his presence, hahaha]

【Maybe it’s a talent? 】

[Ursula is so obedient, woooo, I also want an Ursula quq]

[Hehe, Ursula, hug, hehe]

[How dare you! You actually put a surveillance camera in Xi Ze's room. I will report you! Unless you send me a copy of ovo]

【Add me one】

[Above, explosion handling warning.jpg]

[Is there no bitter tea in this world?]

Apart from the little surprise found on César's side, the first night ended peacefully.

[I have a feeling that the excitement level of this dungeon will continue to rise]

Sure enough, the next morning, Xia Zuo was stopped in the bathroom.

[Why does the person who stopped him make me feel a little bit weird? 】

And when Xizel, who rarely had his hair tied up, appeared and calmly called Xia Zuo's name, the barrage of comments instantly understood the subtlety.

[Wow, isn’t this just a low-profile version of my wife?]

[Don't mess with Xi Ze, what low-profile version, it's not even close]

[Indeed, the gap is too obvious]

[Xize makes me want to be his dog, this man just makes me want to beat him up ()]

[Hahahaha, this is so real]

[I just like the way my wife lets her hair down for meprprpr]

"Xia Ze, why are you here?" In the comics, Xia Zuo's eye color directly changed from dark to light.

【Xia Zuo·Face Changing Master·Kaili】

Then the barrage showed the art of Césaire’s language.

[The royal translator is here. Xia Zuo can kill all of you with just a wave of his hand. You are still looking for trouble. Please spare me the lives of you.]

["Please Raise Your Hand"]

【《A Beautiful Person with a Kind Heart》】

[1551 He is so crazy, I like him so much]

[I am Cesar's dog (violent words)]

And just after César finished saying this, the comic switched to the perspective of the low-profile criminal who was looking for trouble.

From his perspective, what was originally just a "harsh talk" suddenly changed its nature.

The black-haired boy's eyelashes drooped slightly, with a nonchalant smile on his lips, a bit cold and calm that didn't match his words.

However, those misty blue eyes covered by shadows gave people a sense of extreme danger for no reason.

That kind of nonchalance and carelessness is like a camouflage used to make the prey relax their vigilance before hunting.

The more he does this, the more terrifying he becomes.

[My favorite is the bystander perspective. Caesar looks twice as handsome from this perspective]

【I declare that my soul has been possessed by this man】

[I declare that my soul has passed away through Caesar’s cross earrings]

[I’m different. I directly wear Xi Ze’s underwear. Hehehe]

[Are you someone who doesn't care about you at all online? ]

The true side of the character was revealed for only a moment, and the comic's César soon returned to his usual self and walked out with Xia Zuo and Ursula.

[Just this short conversation during the journey... really made me love Xia Zuo very much ()]

[Indeed, it’s so stupid that it makes people feel distressed]

[It’s so funny, César is evil-hearted, Ursula is his assistant, and only the stupid Xia Zuo is left alone and helpless]

【Hahahahahahaha】

[There are eight buckets of wisdom in the world, Xizel alone has one bucket, Xia Zuo owes two buckets]

[No, no, no, it should be that César alone takes eight buckets, Xia Zuo and Ursula share two buckets, but Ursula takes three buckets]

[You are all so talented, hahahaha]

[Xia Zuo: Anyway, no matter what, you are just a fool]

Unfortunately, Xia Zuo couldn't hear the ridicule in the barrage, so naturally he didn't know that his image was heading in a strange direction.

The protagonists split up again. Ursula no longer protected César, but followed Xia Zuo to get the prisoners' thoughts.

The black-haired boy smiled at his worried friend, and the silver blade on his sleeve flashed.

"Don't worry," he said.

Barrage: [Don't worry, of course I am relieved]

[Let me be healthy, who will be harmed?]

[I don’t understand why these people are so depressed and want to die young]

[Is the cover scene about to appear? 】

[But this episode obviously has a lot more content]

[Maybe it's to give you experience, hehe]

[No matter what, Xizel will definitely win. I have never seen him lose.]

[Then I'll give a word to the friends in the meeting]

【I come: "Send"】
