honor me as god

Chapter 276 The Mysterious Shadow
Nicole suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar, she hurriedly looked back, and quickly saw the other person's face clearly with the torch, she exclaimed: "Roman?!"

The person who came was none other than the comrade-in-arms that Nicole met when she was training in the palace.

Roman is 22 years old this year, 6 years older than Nicole, with heroic eyebrows, a height of 182, and a standard inverted triangle figure. Boys who tease her for being short and want to be friendly with her.

Meeting her old friend at this moment, Nicole ran up to Roman in surprise and looked at his armor: "You went to Prince Bolton's personal guards?!"

Roman Han smiled and rubbed the back of his head: "Yes, after the New Year's feast this year, I graduated from the reserve force, was honored to be appreciated by Prince Bolton, was selected into the Guard Corps, and directly participated in the "Blood Sand Battle". Just came back from the desert. "

Nicole patted his strong arm in a friendly way: "I heard that the bloody sand battle was very tragic. It's great to see that you're fine."

"Yes, many comrades-in-arms have died. Thanks to the wise command of Prince Bolton, we have completed the reversal of the situation in the later stage of the battle." Roman asked with concern, "How about you? How are you doing recently? After the New Year's feast, You were taken out of the reserves, and I was still thinking about when I could come to see you, but I never expected to meet in this way."

"I'm fine. I'm honored to be the personal bodyguard of Administrator Chino, and I have inherited his family name. My name is now Nicole Helsing." Nicole glanced out subconsciously, and asked quickly, "Okay, Let's talk about the small talk later, what's going on here? Why did you arrest the people in the government mansion?"

Due to military regulations, Roman should not have disclosed the details of the operation to Neeko, but the two have been good friends during the training period and often talked about everything.

Coupled with the fact that Roman had just transferred to the Guards Corps not long ago, he hadn't been tempered mentally, and he couldn't do "denial of relatives" like a senior soldier. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't continue to hide: "I tell you some very bad news, Bo Prince Dun was assassinated in Thunder Cloud City yesterday, but luckily he didn’t get hurt. Administrator Chino is now the number one suspect and is still absconding. We were ordered to go to Twilight City to capture all those involved with him.”

"This is impossible!" Nicole lost her voice at first, she quickly covered her mouth, and finally lowered her voice, "This is impossible!"

Roman peeked out the window to make sure that the other companions were not disturbed, so he walked back quickly, put his hand on Nicole's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "It's useless for you to refute me. Since you are the administrator of Chino bodyguard, and you live in the government residence, so theoretically you are also on the arrest list!"

"Nicole, you go out with me now, don't hide any more, go back to Thunder Cloud City to accept the investigation together, say what you have, don't hide anything, His Royal Highness will definitely see clearly."

Without the slightest hesitation, Nicole shook off Roman's hand: "I won't go back with you! There must be something strange about this, it happened so suddenly!"

Roman said helplessly: "We have already obtained enough evidence, each of which points to Administrator Chino, and a complete chain of evidence has been formed."

Nicole retorted: "His Royal Highness was assassinated yesterday. Isn't it abnormal for you to grasp the chain of evidence so quickly? The more perfect this kind of thing looks, the more flawless it is, and the deeper the water will be!" "

Roman shook his head: "Then let me ask you, if Administrator Chino was really wronged, why did he escape? Honestly go to His Royal Highness, cooperate with the investigation, and explain the ins and outs clearly?"

This made Nicole speechless and unable to refute.

According to common sense, it should indeed be like what Roman said - you didn't do it, so why are you running?
Although Prince Bolton has a violent personality, he is also rough and subtle. He is not an unreasonable person. It is the best policy to cooperate with him in the investigation.

Roman said in a comforting tone: "Nicole, I know you are very grateful to Administrator Chino for taking you away from the royal city, and you always want to repay your kindness, but when it comes to big issues of right and wrong, you should."

"Wait, wait." Nicole seemed to have thought of something, and interrupted Roman directly, pacing back and forth, muttering, "I thought of a question, is there an extraterrestrial visitor involved in the assassination of Prince Bolton?" ?”

"A visitor from space?" Roman froze for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't received such news, I only know that Bloodthorn will be involved in this matter."

Nicole kept biting her index finger, frowning and thinking: "If... I said that if the aliens are secretly involved in this matter, the situation is far more complicated than what you see. No. No, it's not if! Things are so strange , there must be some aliens inside! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the administrator was implicated?"

Roman patiently advised: "Even if there is something wrong, you should go back with us for investigation, tell us everything you know, and then let us deal with it."

Nicole shook her head heavily: "No. The visitors from outside these days are scheming and extremely cunning. During the Seven Plagues incident a few months ago, the Administrator of Chino almost fell into their hands. You are now arresting all the people in the government mansion. I am afraid that you have hit the sky. I can't go back with you because of the visitor's plan."

Roman asked back: "Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to stay outside and be his helper!" Nicole clenched her fists tightly, her eyes seemed to be lost in memory, "I clearly saw through the clues of the last seven plagues incident, but I couldn't help him, all because of my wife's fault." Weak. This time I have to make up for my mistakes! If he has an extra helper who can be called outside, he will have a better chance of winning!"

Roman's complexion was ugly, and his voice became hasty: "Nicole, you can't be so stubborn! You are committing the following crimes, directly opposing Prince Bolton's military orders! If Administrator Chino is really an assassin, you will be guilty of adding another crime if you do so." Wait!"

"My name is Nicole Helsing now, and I only listen to the orders of the administrator of Chino, and I don't recognize the military orders of the prince!" Do it, then just come, I will rush out from here even if I try my best."

Roman and Nicole have spent a long time together in the palace, and they have already figured out her temper. This little girl is usually introverted and quiet, like a little rabbit, but her unyielding energy is no less than anyone else.

During the reserve training that year, in order to make up for the gap between herself and others, Nicole not only worked hard in daily training, but also was extremely self-disciplined in her free time.

In terms of work and rest, other reserves start at 6 in the morning, but she starts at 4, and sleeps 2 hours less than others every day. According to her, after a year, she will be equivalent to one month longer than others.

After the training, when the reservists went out to drink, she practiced on her own in the back mountain, swinging swords at the dummies tirelessly, reviewing the skills learned during the day, and delving into her own swordsmanship, rain or shine.

Kung fu does not necessarily pay off, because of the height problem, Nicole's swordsmanship is severely limited, no matter how hard she tries, she can't beat any tall guards, and her grades are always at the bottom.

But every time she was knocked down in the trial, she would get up again and again. During the training, she never conceded a single defeat. Apart from knocking her out, there was no way to make her succumb.

I haven't seen her for half a year, and this little girl is still the same, she hasn't changed at all.

Just as the two were confronting each other in the darkroom, the door outside was suddenly opened, and a soldier's voice came: "Roman, why haven't you come out yet? Is there anyone inside?"

Roman was standing at the secret door, and Nicole was standing inside. The soldier who broke in was blocked from seeing Nicole.

Whether Nicole will be arrested now depends on Roman's answer, as long as he nods, Nicole will be unable to fly.

Nicole's expression was tense, cold sweat covered her forehead, her two big eyes were wide open, she just stared at the expressionless Roman, holding her breath.

Roman looked at Nicole, and after a moment of silence, he turned back and said, "There is no one, I just found a darkroom here, I went in and searched around just now, and it was empty."

"Oh, let's go quickly, we've finished catching everyone, we have to rush back to Thunder Cloud City overnight." The soldiers left, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "Thank you."

Roman sighed and looked at her deeply: "I only have one request, don't lose your life. I don't have many friends in this world."

"No." Nicole stretched out her small hand and clasped Roman's palms, and they bumped shoulders hard to say goodbye.

Soon, Roman caught up with his companions and left.

Nicole waited until all the guards had withdrawn from the government residence before leaving the room and running to the street outside.

The streets at night are very quiet, only the cold and bright moon hangs high above the head, the surroundings are empty and lonely, only a petite figure is running.

Although Nicole was not arrested, she had no specific plan in mind because of the sudden incident.

She just instinctively believed that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface—just like the last attack by aliens, the seven disasters from heaven were just appearances, and the so-called "assassination of Prince Bolton" may also be appearances now.

From the communication with Roman, Nicole learned that Kino was not captured and should be hiding somewhere.

Currently, there are only two things she can do.

One is to secretly investigate the assassination of Prince Bolton and find clues from it.

The second is to find a way to contact Chino and provide help within his ability to help him get out of the predicament.

Although I have a preliminary direction in my mind, where do I start?
Whether it's investigating Bolton's assassination or finding a way to contact Chino, I have no clue now, I don't know where to start
Just when Nicole was frowning, her pupils suddenly dilated, she stopped in place, and stared at her surroundings vigilantly.

when did it appear
Blood fog!
Just now, Nicole felt that her visibility was getting lower, but because it was late at night, she thought it was just dark clouds covering the moonlight.

Until now, she passed a kerosene lamp lit on the street, and after careful observation, she found that the surrounding area was covered with a layer of fog
Fog in the middle of the night is a very common phenomenon, but normally, the fog formed by any weather reason should be pale white.

But at this time, the mist that filled the surroundings showed a strange scarlet color.

The scarlet blood fog filled the surroundings, getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility was declining rapidly. The moon in the sky was still faintly visible at first, but soon it could not be seen clearly. Nicole seemed to be stripped from the world, lost in another strange world. world.

The only good news is that this blood mist does not seem to be lethal or toxic. Although it looks like blood coughed up by a patient with terminal tuberculosis, Nicole does not smell anything when she breathes, and her body does not feel strange.

Nicole's light sword in her left hand is chilling, her right hand's epee is weeping, a divine seal appears between her brows, and the golden sun burns all over her body, and she has entered a fighting state. Her small ears vibrate slightly, capturing every movement around her.

In this blood mist, apart from the occasional whistling evening wind, there are not many special sounds
Until the sound of cold footsteps came.

"Tat-tat-tat."

Nicole activated the seal of God, and the sun and golden fire covering her body became more violent. According to the method taught by Kino, she activated the central device of the Chilling Crying Fire. The Chilling Cicadas cooled down, and the Weeping Fire heated up, and the two swords were driven to the fighting temperature. .

The water mist in the air was continuously condensed into falling frost flowers, but was quickly evaporated into water vapor by the magma-like hot temperature, just like midsummer and severe winter alternating.

"Tap, tap, tap --" With the regular taps of the high-heeled boots and the ground, a dancing figure slowly emerged from the blood mist. If Nicole and Kino belonged to the same world, You will suddenly realize that this is a very popular ballroom dance in Wudu at the end of the 19th century.

The dancing figure became clearer and clearer, and the blood mist seemed to be endowed with some kind of vitality, flowing between the graceful and delicate body, like a touching touch.

Tapping, spinning, swinging forward and backward. The figure stretched out his hands to "push" the blood mist in front of him, and appeared on the stage in a dramatic way. At the same time, the high-heeled boots settled on the ground, announcing the final chapter of the dance music.

This is a woman with a hot body that cannot be accurately described by stunners. Her blond curly hair cascades down her shoulders, her slender legs are wrapped in black high-heeled boots, and the high-grade leather shines brightly in the twilight. She just stands there , there is a natural queen aura that makes people want to kneel down in front of her and kiss the toe of the shoe.

The only regret is that the woman wears a mask without any patterns on her face, covering her true face, but this regret is like a half-covered lute, leaving a wonderful room for imagination, which makes people unable to help What a beautiful face lies beneath the mask of fantasy.

After the woman came on stage, the "dogs" also crawled out together. These collared men lay beside the woman, clinging to her boots, staring at Nicole vigilantly, as if they were afraid that the owner would find a new dog , I will lose my favor.

If you observe carefully, you will find that there are 8 ropes around the woman's waist, but now there are only 7 dogs, and the other one is gone.

The woman took out a Victorian steam-style pocket watch from her bosom, opened it and showed it to Nicole, the eyes behind the mask were filled with smiles, and a seductive voice came: "It's past 1:[-] in the morning, good boy should go to bed sleep~"
