Chapter 068 Chapter 68
A horn sounded in the distance.
Humming and humming softly.
It was as if the earth woke up in a tremor.
The restaurant's windows were blown open by the loud noise just now.
The wind blew in from the window, causing the white gauze to flutter in the room.
Xia Meng saw bloodthirsty murderous intent in Herman's eyes.
The intention to kill Li Zhou.
Hermann slowly stood up and ordered the guards who ran in, "Prepare for battle."
Having said that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Xia Meng raised her hand and grabbed his sleeve, staring at him in surprise: "Do you know what you are doing!?"
She said quickly, "You two S-rank Sentinels fighting in someone else's mental image? Are you crazy!?"
"Don't risk your life, and don't risk others' lives!"
At this time, I don’t know how many people are trapped in Cui Yang’s mental picture.
The spiritual power of countless people is integrated with this place.
Then further mutations occur.
This spiritual landscape was already shaky and in imminent danger.
These two S-class people are fighting each other now. Don’t they think this place is dangerous enough?
When the spiritual picture collapses, everyone will be buried with it.
Xia Meng: "Are you two planning to bury everyone?"
Hermann pursed his lips, his expression full of displeasure at being offended by Li Zhou.
There was fire in his eyes: "He started it."
It was Li Zhou who was coveting his queen!
wishful thinking!
Xia Meng frowned: "What are you crazy about?"
She really didn't like the tone of him treating her as his property.
However, after scolding Hermann, she fell into deep thought.
Why did Li Zhou choose to attack at this time?
They should all know that making such a big scene here would be bad for them, Cui Yang, and even for other people involved.
Didn’t Su Fangxiao already go to Spade Castle?
Then Li Zhou should have known that she came here to kill Hermann, so why did he deliberately start a war?
Do you think she can't kill Hermann?
Or are you just too concerned and want to rush over to save her?
Or maybe he wanted to cooperate with her from a distance and make a feint to the east and attack in the west?
Xia Meng couldn't guess what Li Zhou's tricks were for a moment, so she could only try her best to stop Herman and prevent the war.
She grabbed Hermann with one hand and quietly picked up the dagger again with the other.
She had been hesitant before.
Because she was not sure what the success rate of her stabbing was.
She remembered that Li Zhou had said before that Hermann had several special abilities.
One of them is physical strengthening.
The physical fitness is highly enhanced and invulnerable to swords and guns.
But once she used her mental power, he could easily detect it at the first moment.
Within the scope of his absolute domain, her mental strength would be suppressed to the lowest level at any time.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed very difficult to kill the King of Hearts.
but--
Xia Meng pursed her lips and decided to take a gamble.
She held onto Herman tightly, looked up at him, and softened her tone: "Don't go."
Her sudden change of attitude made Herman subconsciously stunned.
He paused and turned sideways to look at his wrist.
Xia Meng's hand was tightly clasped there.
The warm body temperature was transmitted to him through the skin touching each other.
With a trace of her almost invisible spiritual power.
He slowly raised his eyes and looked at her.
Her proactive action seemed to successfully calm his anger, which had been raging just seconds ago.
He asked softly, "You don't want me to go?"
Xia Meng looked at him without blinking: "Yes. We haven't finished talking yet, have we?"
She asked softly, her tone coaxing, "You haven't told me yet why you are so sure that I am your engraving guide?"
Hermann seemed bewitched by her eyes and voice.
He truly believed that she desperately wanted to know the answer to this question.
Yes, he thought, compared with their engraving, what was the war that was about to break out outside?
Didn't he fly all the way from England just to tell her this?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn around and face her.
He dropped his eyes and said, "I don't know how to explain it."
He took her left hand in his, lifted her palm, and placed it against his chest. "This engraved totem has been with me since the day I awakened. I knew there must be a guide waiting for me in this world. I have been searching for you for a long time. Until the moment I saw you, this engraving on my body told me that the person I have been looking for is you."
Xia Meng looked into his eyes quietly.
This sounds so familiar.
Li Zhou also said this.
But his version is a little different.
From the moment he awakened, he knew he was destined to kill his own engraved guide.
What about Hermann?
After determining that she was his engraving guide, was he also planning to kill her?
"Okay." Xia Meng said calmly, "I'll believe what you say for now. What then?"
Herman was startled: "What?"
Xia Meng: "I said, I am your engraving guide, then what?"
Herman paused, obviously not having thought too deeply about this.
However, the subsequent development was a natural progression.
Herman: "...I will take you to headquarters, take you back to the Dreiser family, and let you stay by my side with a clear reason."
Xia Meng blinked: "Are you proposing to me?"
Upon hearing this, Hermann swore without hesitation: "Of course, only you are qualified to be my, Hermann Dreiser's, wife."
Xia Meng curled her lips.
She extended her index finger, hooked it under his chin, and studied his face with interest. "It's indeed a very tempting proposal. Whether it's your identity or your face, it's enough to drive women crazy for you."
Herman was visibly delighted by her words: "You too?"
Xia Meng is already Li Zhou's girlfriend.
He knew this clearly before coming to China.
But he didn't care.
As long as they haven't imprinted it yet, there's still time.
Moreover, he has enough confidence.
Anyone would choose him without hesitation between him and Li Zhou.
Whether it is appearance, family background, or power and status, there is no comparison between the two of them.
Li Zhou, that kid with no background, only has an S-level status. Apart from that, what else does he have?
It's like being in this world.
The kingdom is his, and the queen is his too.
Li Zhou is just a clown who covets him.
Xia Meng smiled: "Not crazy, but if I have to say, I am a little moved."
Heart-beating!
Hermann looked surprised.
This is undoubtedly the best encouragement for him.
He knew that Chinese people have always been reserved.
This kind of just-in-time testing can be considered as an explicit statement.
She chose him!
He was filled with ecstasy and couldn't help lowering his head to get closer to her.
I want to kiss her on the lips.
It seems that only in this way can we truly feel the reality of the moment.
Xia Meng did not retreat.
But the moment he came in front of her, she quickly turned her head and raised her hands to hug him.
Hermann thought she was shy.
Just as he was about to raise his arms to hug her, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his back.
He froze instantly.
He turned to look at her in disbelief.
Xia Meng's expression was still smiling.
She loosened her grip on the dagger and took a half step back from his arms.
"I forgot to tell you," she said, "all those advantages you think you have are worthless in my eyes."
Hermann stared at her with his eyes wide open, his face blank and caught off guard.
Xia Meng lowered her eyes and glanced at her hands.
Her fingertips were bloody.
It looked like the dagger had indeed pierced his back.
Did this kill him?
Why does he still seem to be standing straight?
Could it be that the dagger was inserted crookedly?
No, it's impossible.
She carefully measured the position of his heart before taking action.
After five years of medical school, if she can't even measure this accurately, she might as well find a rope and hang herself.
Is it because it’s not inserted deep enough?
It shouldn't be possible.
The force she used was enough to rip him open.
She was even afraid that the dagger was not sharp enough, so she used a little mental power on it.
Her mental power can change in a thousand ways.
Can become anything she wants.
So she simply followed the example in martial arts novels and wrapped her mental power around the dagger, and then her mental power became her "sword energy", which could cut hair and slice iron like mud.
She lowered her eyes and rubbed her fingers.
She must have succeeded.
The next second, Hermann suddenly grabbed her fingers.
Xia Meng looked up.
Herman looked her in the eye and asked, "You want to kill me?"
Xia Meng blinked: "Can't you see?"
She had come here to kill him.
At this moment, she was just an emotionless killer.
Anyway, now it is in the mental picture.
If she can do this to herself, why can't she do this to others?
She wanted to pull her hand out of Hermann's.
But she found that he held her hand very tightly.
He stared into her eyes and said, "Xia Meng, don't you understand what engraving means?"
A trace of blood oozed from the corner of Herman's mouth. He said slowly, "The mark means that we are bound together forever. If you die, I will die too. If I die, you will not be able to live."
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Against his cold pale skin, it looked even more shocking.
He raised his hand and squeezed her shoulder, as if trying to steady his body with this action.
At the same time, he held her bloody hand and placed it on her left chest: "Here, don't you feel pain?"
Xia Meng lowered her eyes following his movements.
What?
She stabbed him, so did he think she had to feel the pain too?
Xia Meng looked up at him and said calmly, "So, don't use tattoos to cheat people."
How could she not know whether it was engraved or not?
Herman's face turned pale: "..."
After saying that, Xia Meng raised her hand and pushed him.
Herman's body was pushed back by her.
His body fell backwards and fell straight to the ground.
Her knife struck him right in the heart.
The moment Hermann fell, the dagger was completely embedded in his body, and the tip of the knife pierced out of his chest.
Blood flowed out of the wound and spread all over the ground.
Then, a light appeared from his "corpse".
There was also light under her feet.
Outside the door, Ou Xu pushed the door open in surprise: "Xia Meng, why is the door——"
What came into view was Xia Meng with blood on her hands and Hermann lying on the ground, dead.
Ou Xu's jaw dropped.
Ou Xu: "Oh my god! You really killed him!? Is this even possible??"
Xia Meng herself was a little bit unbelievable.
The moment she made her move, she was even mentally prepared to be killed by Herman.
She even had a backup plan.
The trace of mental power applied to the dagger had already penetrated into his body.
Always ready to leave a mark.
Who would have thought that it would actually succeed.
This S-class sentinel is as weak as paper.
Xia Meng saw light shining under Ou Xu's feet.
The door opened.
The sound of horns in the distance also stopped.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the wise man did not lie.
Kill one of the kings and everyone can leave here safely.
The light under my feet became brighter and brighter.
Xia Meng turned around without hesitation and stepped out of the door.
…
A familiar mist spread.
The sound of bagpipes drifted from afar.
Xia Meng opened her eyes.
The scene before him returned to the ward.
When she raised her eyes, she saw Hermann suddenly stand up across the bed.
There was still a hint of betrayal in his eyes, and a little lightning flashed in his hand, until the next second his entire arm was wrapped in lightning.
He flew toward her.
Oh wow.
Did he plan to kill her because his proposal failed?!
From the moment Xia Meng made up her mind to take action against him, she had already prepared herself mentally.
The moment she came out, she would have to fight him again sooner or later.
The first time he took advantage of her surprise attack, but this time it might not be so easy.
Fortunately, Xia Meng was not in vain either.
She quickly shrank behind Li Zhou: "Honey, protect me!"
Li Zhou's reaction was actually faster.
As soon as he realized that Hermann was going to rush over, he had already protected her behind him.
Hearing Xia Meng's words out of the blue, Li Zhou fell silent.
Hermann also fell silent.
He didn't understand why Xia Meng was like this.
Cunning, fickle, and cold-blooded.
And he turned against me without mercy.
She was completely different from what he had imagined her to be.
The two sides were in a stalemate. Li Zhou turned his head to look at her: "What happened?"
Xia Meng didn't answer, but glanced at him: "Why are you so eager to start a war?"
Li Zhou frowned. "Su Fangxiao told me everything. If you have to choose between the two, why don't you just kill me? Why do you have to choose him?"
Dying in the mental picture is not really dying.
At most, you'll be trapped there forever.
Besides, as long as the door is opened, they can go out.
Why did she have to pick on Hermann?
It's easy to tell that the choice is much more difficult.
It’s also much more dangerous.
Xia Meng smiled.
It’s a long story.
It involves Luo Xunfei's bet and also her clearly defined identity card.
Since she made the bet, she didn't want to lose.
Moreover, with the Queen of Hearts' identity card, she could not go to the King of Spades' territory.
More importantly.
She likes to cut the Gordian knot.
If he killed Hermann once, he would probably understand that she had no feelings for him.
They will give up when they realize the difficulty.
However, Li Zhou's reaction still touched her a little.
He was worried about her safety and chose to let her point the knife at him without hesitation.
She raised her hands to hold his face, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
Sure enough, Li Zhou was more to her liking.
After the kiss, she tilted her head and glanced at Herman.
Hermann continued to stare at her silently.
Also watched her kiss Li Zhou.
After a long while, he suddenly said, "Do you think I'm lying?"
Xia Meng looked at him indifferently: "Yes, I don't believe it."
Hermann pursed his lips.
He looked at her deeply, then finally withdrew his gaze without saying a word, turned around, opened the door and left.
He walked quickly through the winding corridor.
After passing more than a dozen wards, he suddenly stopped at the door of one of the wards.
The three words "Luo Xunfei" were written on the nameplate on the door.
The next second, he pushed the door open without hesitation.
There was only one bed in the room.
The person on the hospital bed has woken up at this moment.
Lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
When the door opened, Luo Xunfei subconsciously turned his head to look.
He thought the first person to rush over would be Xia Meng.
I didn't expect it to be Hermann.
Herman had fire in his eyes and lightning in his hands.
As soon as he came in, he grabbed Luo Xunfei's neck with an imposing manner.
He asked bluntly, "Is the totem you gave me fake?"
Luo Xunfei was pinched by him and had to raise his chin.
The lightning in Herman's hand pierced into his body mercilessly like a needle.
Luo Xunfei blinked slowly.
He could guess everything from this one sentence.
Xia Meng didn't believe in that totem.
It turned out that she had killed Hermann.
Luo Xunfei sighed secretly.
Sure enough, he was not mistaken in the mushroom forest.
The eager madness in her eyes was not fake.
The lightning penetrated the skin of the neck densely.
Luo Xunfei felt that his breathing was becoming increasingly difficult.
Herman really wanted to kill him!
Luo Xunfei could only struggle to explain, "It's true. I didn't lie to you... The totem I saw through my foresight... looked like this..."
Herman was about to ask more questions when he turned his head and heard footsteps coming from the far corridor.
Xia Meng seemed to be heading in this direction as well.
Hermann suddenly withdrew his hand.
…
Xia Meng stayed to check on Cui Yang's condition.
Having so many people in his mental picture seemed to put a great burden on his body.
Xia Meng took his temperature and found that he had developed a high fever at some point.
She raised her hand and pressed the nurse bell, and at the same time opened the drawer and quickly added medicine to Cui Yang's IV bottle.
Only after doing all this did she have time to pay attention to other things.
The other people in the room also woke up one after another.
Many of them were still confused.
In the mental picture, everyone's progress is different and the situations they encounter are also different.
They were overwhelmed by those absurd and weird fairy tales.
Xia Meng and the others followed the little rabbit into the mushroom forest and successfully found the territory of the Red and Black King.
Without the little rabbit to lead the way, the other sentinels were all trapped in their own fairy tales, wandering around like headless flies.
Xia Meng paused for a moment, then suddenly slapped her head: "Oops, I forgot someone!"
Li Zhou was confused: "Who?"
Xia Meng quickly grabbed Li Zhou's hand and said, "Let's go find Luo Xunfei!"
Li Zhou: "Who is he?"
It’s a long story, and Xia Meng didn’t have time to explain it in detail.
She must find Luo Xunfei as soon as possible.
She had many questions for him.
She wanted to ask him what exactly he saw through Cui Yang?
I want to ask him if the totem on Hermann’s chest was given to him by him?
This guess flashed through her mind when Hermann showed her the totem in the mental image.
There are very few people in this world who have seen her engraved totem with their own eyes.
If I have to say, there are only two.
One is Li Zhou and the other is Wang Xiangyi.
Wang Xiangyi saw it when she was practicing with the two sentries.
Li Zhou was in their common dream.
She believed in Lao Wang and also believed in Li Zhou.
At that moment, in a flash, she thought of Luo Xunfei——
A psychotherapist who can control Cui Yang.
Luo Xunfei can achieve his goals at any time by controlling Cui Yang.
She felt no hostility from Luo Xunfei.
Even... when she was talking to him, she could even feel the kindness in his eyes and words.
It does not come from the professional skills of a psychologist.
But it was the gentle kindness that came from his true feelings.
He seemed to want to remind her of something through this mental picture.
At the time she hadn't figured out what he meant.
Of course, not now.
Since you don't understand, of course you have to ask in person.
Xia Meng pulled Li Zhou and quickly crossed the corridor.
Rushed to the room where Luo Xunfei was.
I found the corresponding room and knocked on the door.
Then he pushed the door open and went in.
As soon as she entered, Xia Meng was stunned.
The only bed in the room was empty at this moment.
Luo Xunfei seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and his whereabouts were unknown.
Xia Meng took a few steps forward and put the back of her hand on the messy bed.
The sheets were still warm.
In other words, a few minutes ago, Luo Xunfei was still here.
He had just left not long ago.
Xia Meng quickly turned her head to look at Li Zhou.
Li Zhou also reacted quickly.
He nodded at her: "I'll go find it."
As he said that, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Xia Meng took a deep breath.
She turned her head and looked at Luo Xunfei's bed and the surroundings again.
His shoes were still lying there, and it didn't look like he had walked there on his own.
There seemed to be a few charred marks on the pillow, as if it had been burned by fire.
The quilt was also messy.
There were even marks on one corner of the quilt from being tightly gripped by hands.
Xia Meng narrowed her eyes.
A name popped up in her mind.
——Hermann.
If there was anyone in this world who could kidnap someone from the Black Tower without anyone noticing, Xia Meng felt that the most likely suspect must be Hermann.
She pursed her lips.
This is ridiculous.
What on earth does that Herman want to do!?
At this moment, Xia Meng felt as if her throat was being strangled by a deep sense of powerlessness and fear.
She was strangled so hard that she couldn't breathe and couldn't move.
There is fog all around.
She couldn't see anything clearly and couldn't tell what was true or false.
Luo Xunfei, Herman, and many more people she didn't know were standing behind the fog and looking at her.
Staring at her hungrily.
Xia Meng's hands were covered in cold sweat.
Hermann could deceive her today with this seemingly plausible totem, but what about the future?
How many more lies will there be?
She felt as if she was facing a huge conspiracy.
She was trapped in the center of the vortex and could not save herself.
The huge waves rolled over her, trying to swallow her up, trying to pull her into the abyss -
"Xiao Xia!"
Xia Meng suddenly came back to her senses.
She turned her head.
What I saw was Wang Xiangyi standing at the door.
He looked at her worriedly.
"How are you?"
Xia Meng stared at him intently.
Is this Lao Wang?
Or was it just another lie to try and deceive her?
