Rocot: Reborn

"Mirror? What mirror?" Evelyn's eyes flickered, as if she was deliberately avoiding Roccod's question. "You just had a nightmare, don't let your imagination run wild."

Roccod's brows knitted together. Evelyn's reaction was obviously wrong. He was sure that the mirror and the evil figure in the mirror were not just a dream. The fear and despair that penetrated his bones, the crazy desire to control everything, were all terrifyingly real.

"Evelyn, look at me." Roccod said in a hoarse voice, but with unquestionable authority. "Tell me, where is the mirror?"

Evelin bit her lip, her eyes flickered, and she seemed to be struggling with something. Seeing this, Roccod became more certain of his guess.

"Evelyn, you know the consequences of hiding things." Roccod's hand slowly tightened, his tone cold, "I don't want to use those methods on you."

Evelyn's body trembled slightly. Roccod's eyes frightened her. It was a sense of oppression from a superior, cold, ruthless, and chilling.

"Lockold, you've changed." Evelyn's voice was a little tearful, "You never spoke to me like this before."

Roccod felt a pain in his heart. Evelyn's words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart. He knew that he had changed. Since that betrayal, he was no longer the high-spirited King of the Night. After his rebirth, his heart was full of hatred and ambition. He longed for power and revenge, and was willing to pay any price for it.

"Evelyn, I have no choice." Roccod loosened his hand, his tone a little tired, "Tell me, what is that mirror? Where is it now?"

Evelyn took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision. "That mirror..." She paused and looked at Roccod with complicated eyes, "It connects to another world, a world full of darkness and chaos. That voice is the evil will from that world. It wants to invade our world and turn it into its paradise."

Rocot remained silent. Evelyn's words confirmed his guess. He knew that the world was far more complicated than it seemed. The combination of technology and magic created infinite possibilities, but also opened Pandora's box.

"Where is the mirror now?" Rocot asked again, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"I have destroyed it." Evelyn's voice was soft but firm. "I will not let anyone or anything hurt you or the world."

Roccod looked at Evelyn, her eyes were clear and firm, without a trace of hesitation. He knew that what Evelyn said was true, she really destroyed the mirror and the passage connecting the two worlds.

"You did the right thing, Evelyn." Roccod's tone softened down. He gently stroked Evelyn's cheek, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "Thank you for protecting me and the world."

Evelyn shook her head. She snuggled in Rocot's arms, feeling his body temperature, but her heart was filled with uneasiness. She knew that although the mirror was destroyed, the evil will had not disappeared. It was still lurking in a corner, peeking at the world, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

What worries her even more is the change of Rocot. The nightmare experience has left an indelible shadow in Rocot's heart. He has become more cruel and ruthless, and even began to do whatever it takes. Evelyn is afraid that one day Rocot will lose himself in the abyss of revenge and become a stranger she doesn't know at all.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the entire laboratory shook violently. The alarm sounded shrilly, red lights flashed, and the entire base fell into chaos.

"What's going on?" Rocot stood up suddenly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Someone is invading!" Evelyn's face turned pale, "and their target is you!"

Before he could finish his words, the door of the laboratory was slammed open by a powerful force, and a group of fully armed men in black combat uniforms rushed in, their weapons flashing a cold light, and they approached Rocot and Evelyn with murderous intent.

The leading man was tall and wore a hideous metal mask, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. He looked at Rokod with a cruel sneer on his face: "Rokod, long time no see."

Rocot narrowed his eyes, and a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

"You are... Kuroyoru?"

"Obsidian?" Roccod repeated the name, with a hint of doubt and disbelief in his tone, "Impossible, haven't you already..."

"Dead?" Hei Yao asked, his voice as cold as hell. "Thanks to you, I was able to be reborn and stand before you in a more powerful posture." He took a step forward, and the flames of hatred flashed in his eyes under the metal mask. "Today, I will make you pay with blood!"

Obsidian's words were like thunder, exploding in Roccod's heart. The fragments of his memory were like puzzle pieces blown away by the wind, and he pieced them together frantically. Obsidian was his confidant in his previous life, the captain of the Shadow Guard he promoted, loyal and devoted, and even willing to sacrifice his life for him. But in the end, the sharp blade that pierced his heart was also from Obsidian's hand.

"How does it feel to be betrayed, my master?" Obsidian's voice was full of sarcasm.

Roccod took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and stared at Hei Yao coldly: "Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

"Who am I?" Hei Yao laughed loudly, his laughter was full of madness and hatred, "I am a monster created by you, and you pushed me into the abyss with your own hands!" He pulled off the mask, revealing a face covered with horrible scars, as hideous as a demon, "Look at me, this is the 'glory' you gave me!"

Roccod's pupils shrank suddenly. The crisscrossing scars on Hei Yao's face were left by him. During that mission, Hei Yao was seriously injured in order to protect him. In order to save his life, he had to heal him in the most cruel way, but this also destroyed Hei Yao's appearance.

"How many people have you sacrificed for your ambition and revenge? Have you ever thought about what those of us who work for you really want?!" Hei Yao roared, his voice full of pain and despair.

"I..." Rocot opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.

"Of course you don't understand!" Hei Yao roared, "You only care about yourself. You are always the king who is high above everyone else, and we are just pawns in your hands that you can abandon at any time!"

"That's enough!" Evelyn suddenly stood up, blocking Roccod and glaring at Hei Yao. "If you have anything to say, come to me. Don't hurt him!"

Obsidian looked at Evelynn with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "It seems that our King of the Night is really kind to women. But do you think you can protect him like this? You are too naive!"

"Evelyn, step back." Rocco grabbed Evelyn's arm and gently pulled her behind him, staring at Hei Yao with cold eyes, "This is between you and me, and has nothing to do with her."

"Locked..." Evelyn looked at Locked worriedly. She could feel the cold murderous intent emanating from him, which was the terrifying aura from the depths of hell.

"Hahaha, that's really touching!" Hei Yao laughed wildly, "Then let me see how you protect your woman!"

Before he finished speaking, Hei Yao flashed and turned into a black lightning, rushing towards Rokod. The sharp blade in his hand flashed with a cold light, and went straight for Rokod's throat.

Rokod's eyes were stern, and he dodged sideways like a ghost, while his right hand stretched out like lightning and grabbed Hei Yao's wrist. Hei Yao turned his wrist, and the sharp blade turned around and stabbed towards Rokod's heart.

"when!"

With a crisp sound, Evelyn stood in front of Roccod, blocking Obsidian's sharp blade with a short knife. Sparks flew, and Evelyn's petite body was knocked back by the huge force, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Evelyn!" Roccod exclaimed, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes. He never expected that Evelyn would actually block this fatal blow for him.

Hei Yao looked at this scene with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then he laughed wildly: "Hahaha, how touching! It seems that I really did a good thing today! It's a pity..."

Before he could finish his words, the lights in the laboratory suddenly went out, plunging the entire base into darkness.

"what happened?"

"Damn, is there a power outage?"

Hei Yao's men suddenly panicked and groped around, trying to restart the backup power supply.

In the darkness, Roccod felt a powerful force awakening. It was the dark power coming from the depths of his soul. It was the power of the King of Darkness!

"Obsidian, you are courting death!" Rocot's voice sounded in the darkness like the whisper of a demon from hell, cold and terrifying.

"Hahaha, Rocot, so what even if you recover your strength? Do you think you can still escape from my palm?" Obsidian laughed wildly, but there was a hint of imperceptible fear in his voice.

In the darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened, like two burning flames, illuminating the entire laboratory.
