Chapter 241 Heart Sudden——

Even though Annan did nothing, the two of them perished in the fierce battle.

Up to now, the sky has only been dark for less than an hour, and three people are either crazy or dead.

and……

"Ai Lei" raised her head slightly.

With pure emerald green eyes, she quietly stared at the dark night sky in the distance.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

After those three people died, the sky seemed to get darker.

The night sky that was already pitch-black was now even more like ink... The rich darkness was almost dripping down. The light emitted by the surrounding street lamps has become weak and weak.

[Will this have any new impact? 】

Alley said in Annan's heart.

She was a little worried about that.

"I don't know. No need to know."

Annan was manipulating Ailei's body, bouncing down the street, and responding lightly.

[But I'm a little worried. This is not ordinary by any means...]

"Of course it won't be ordinary. It will either accelerate madness, or some supernatural event will stop us, or it will be weakened or hallucinated by the group..."

Annan replied leisurely.

【That--? ! 】

Ellie's voice suddenly increased a lot.

The possibilities that Annan listed were far more terrifying than the ones that Alley came up with—she originally thought that this might make people's spirits nervous.

But listen to Annan...

Doesn't that mean things are getting more troublesome?

"That's true, but it's none of our business. Do I get distracted to worry and it'll be fine and not have any accidents?"

Annan chuckled and said, "In that case, I'll be squatting at home, worrying about the world every day, and praying for the blessings of all beings... What a merciful person."

【Then you—】

"What I can do and do has already been arranged."

Annan looked into the distance leisurely: "Indeed, this abnormality is of concern. But until it really works, any worries and speculations without evidence are meaningless...

"Compared to that, what I get from talking to him - that's what matters to me more."

"Ai Lei" said, and stopped.

The heel tapped lightly and moved closer, and the blonde girl in the white dress folded her hands in front of her, showing a gentle smile: "You said yes.

"Arthur... Chancellor?"

"You should call me Your Excellency the Justice, Ms. Alley."

The young man with splendid golden curly hair walked out of the shadows with his chest raised up.

He was wearing a sharp white suit and white leather shoes, without the slightest bit of dirt; inside was a full red shirt and a tie with silver and red diagonal stripes. This shows his fanatical love for "white and red".

And even the cross-age dress did not stumped Arthur. He did not know how to dress himself up quite appropriately.

The solemn demeanor he maintains at all times, and the meticulous attire he always maintains, is the self-confidence that is born when he regards himself as a very noble thing.

Don't allow yourself to be imperfect - Annan read this type of character in his small actions.

Those eyes that shone like flowing lava were so bright that even at night, his pale skin and pure white clothes seemed to glow.

Just staring at each other, or even seeing his presence, will feel dazzling and have to look away.

"...It seems that you are already prepared for my arrival."

"Ai Lei" smiled and whispered.

"That's natural. Who do you think I am."

Arthur made an extremely flat voice: "After I saw Lucia going mad... I spent half an hour trying to figure out the situation. What kind of difficulties are we facing now, what should I do? What to do, what are the rules of this nightmare... something like this, you can explain it to me without further ado.

"To save time, I'll just ask—what cycle is this? Have you seen the captain? How's she doing?"

"This is the third cycle in documented history."

"Ai Lei" replied calmly: "Celecia is dead - under Miss Lily's invocation spell."

"I see……"

Arthur thought about it and nodded slowly.

He stretched out his right hand forward and walked slowly at the same time, as if he was about to shake hands with "Alley".

But "Ai Lei" hid her hands behind her back instead. She moved backwards lithely, almost dance-like, with a mysterious and shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, watching Arthur quietly.

Arthur stopped suddenly.

"...So you are this type of person."

He was a little distressed, and put his outstretched right hand on his forehead.

"I thought I could kill you in an easier way."

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Arthur."

"Ai Lei" made a clear voice: "But I have a friend who told me... If it is not necessary, it is best not to have any physical contact with the wizard of destruction."

"That friend of yours is really superfluous."

Arthur stopped in place, showing a very standard business smile with eight teeth: "Otherwise you can die quietly."

"Can I ask questions?"

"Ai Lei" jumped back a lot faster, she asked loudly: "You don't seem to be crazy. Why do you suddenly attack me?"

"...Being able to ask such a question shows that I still overestimate you."

Arthur shook his head silently, and looked at "Ai Lei" with an almost sympathetic look: "Isn't it very simple logic?

"Since you know this is the third cycle and I don't know anything about it...and you have nothing to convince me, it means that the clues to memory retention are on your side - and your past In the two rounds, I failed to convince me to join you. This means that I can definitely grab this qualification.

"Any nightmare must have its exit. The only difference is whether the exit can be achieved manually."

Arthur said, put his left hand in his pocket, and walked slowly forward again.

That confident and calm pace, as if he was not walking in a deserted street, but on a fashion show.

The sound of leather shoes knocking on the street came leisurely with the evening breeze.

And "Ai Lei" has retreated to the end.

Arthur is still slowly narrating:

"You've repeated this three times, and you haven't been able to solve this nightmare...

"I guess the trigger for the madness in this nightmare is probably 'beginning to fear and deviate from your deepest desire', and I know the captain very well.

"There's no way the captain could betray her wishes. She wouldn't have gone mad first, then she must have been killed - that is, you've been trapped in this conundrum with no answer.

"Then step back and let me come."

Arthur said indifferently: "If so, when I save the captain and Lucia... I will try my best to try to save you together."

He said, taking his left hand out of his pocket.

At some point, his left hand had already put on a crimson silk glove, as red as if it had broken his heart—

Arthur stretched out his left hand and stretched out to "Ai Lei".

"Goodbye, Miss Alley."

He said elegantly: "Although you rejected the best [gift], I still have the second best gift for you..."

and squeezed it tightly.

"Heart attack—"

"'Cardiac arrest'...you meant to say that?"

"Ai Lei" stood at the end intact, tilted her head and smiled: "Unfortunately, you don't seem to have seen that scene."

"……what?"

Arthur was taken aback for a moment.

The next moment, unstoppable terror struck his heart instantly.

Completely irresistible... The invisible hand formed by the power of the curse crushed his heart instantly. The remaining magic power hit the rest of the organs along the bloodline, instantly paralyzing them.

Blood suddenly overflowed from his mouth, and his pupils suddenly shrank and then enlarged—everything in front of him was instantly engulfed by darkness, and his tall and straight body suddenly fell forward, deprived of all strength.

And the last afterimage that remained in his retina was the smiling Miss Alley.
