Help, I've become a paper man

The rest of the journey was very quiet. Jasmine didn't speak again, and there was no need for her to speak. Song Yi knew clearly that appearance was not a criterion for measuring age, but even though the peaceful times in his memory had become blurred, it was still difficult to let go of the education he had received in the past. Killing humanoid monsters was different from killing humans.

Besides, he had other ideas...

They came to the garden without encountering any obstacles along the way and they did not communicate with each other. Song Yi could feel that as they walked closer to the garden, the murderous aura emanating from Jasmine became heavier, gradually getting rid of her childishness, further deepening the setting that "appearance is just an appearance".

Song Yi knew that her momentum was not directed at him, and when he stopped at the entrance, he couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose. He didn't have strong strength, and he was indecisive, but instead threw the burden to the people who protected him. But what he saw confirmed part of his expectations.

The garden was filled with fog, and it seemed that a rainstorm was falling just one step away from them. The sound of the rain was mixed with other sounds, which could not be heard clearly from their position. Song Yi took a step forward and walked in with Jasmine.

The rapid raindrops hit my body, soaking my clothes instantly. What I saw in front of me became even more blurry. Following the image in my memory, I slowly walked on the road. There was no attack in front of me, and I couldn't see the person I was looking for for a while.

Song Yi asked: "If we don't help you, do you have the authority to take action against the 'hostages'?"

Even in the rain, Jasmine's hearing could catch it. She shook her ears, looked at Song Yi, and hesitated for a second between "this guy is crazy" and "he told others", and briefly thought that it would be better if he was crazy.

Because the familiar voice came clearly through the rain.

"Now I have three hostages, don't I?"

It was the Duke's voice. Jasmine shook her head and felt that the tension in her heart had finally settled. Now she could go straight into combat mode.

This time, the two did not try to communicate. Song Yi's brain unexpectedly matched her frequency. Although he nodded, it did not mean "affirmation". Instead, he was also expressing that he "knew" this matter.

It is a combat copy after all.

"Only when we catch them can they be considered hostages." Song Yi sighed casually, which did not affect his turning sideways to avoid the stabbing knife.

The Duke was also very understanding, knowing that he had the boy in his hands, and the newcomer was not considered a hostage. Since he had been lured here as bait, she would naturally not let him go.

The light of the sharp blade blurred in the rain. Song Yi moved faster, and the knife rushing towards him was not slow either, but his body was more agile than before. Even with the interference of the rain, the smoothness of his movements and his perception of the surroundings were not affected at all, and perhaps even better.

Even when he took out the dagger, he was still thinking about estimating the number of enemies by the direction and strength of the attack. After all, the rain was so heavy and the attacks were so dense. No matter how high-tech the gun provided by Yan Changyue was, it was not as useful as cold weapons here.

At least that's the case with his current skills with guns.

But as he counted, Song Yi couldn't help but sigh. His wrist felt numb from holding the sword to block, and his head felt like it should be lightly restrained. There seemed to be seven more enemies on his side. Could it be that the seven maids accompanying them had all gone into battle?

The Duke also knows how to pick on the weak.

Song Yi sighed in his heart and stopped thinking like that. He fought back with more strength and no longer held back tentatively. After all, he soon realized one thing: the maid was with him, and Jasmine was gradually distancing herself from him during the fight. However, there were sounds of more intense fighting, and Song Yi was almost certain who was fighting over there.

He wanted to deal with this situation faster and help Jasmine, but the maids also noticed it and attacked at a faster pace. Even at the risk of getting injured, they used their bodies to delay Song Yi's actions.

When the dagger cut his flesh for the first time, Song Yi's hand trembled. There was a sudden fear and a hint of "surprise" in him. What made him pause was not the "hurting" but the shocking discovery that the feeling was no different from the previous battle against the "twin brothers".

Before he realized it, he was already killing his fellow nemesis.

A strong heartbeat sounded, he heard the rain and the wind, his own breathing and heartbeat, and the slightly cold rain fell on his hot skin and continued to wet his clothes.

It's just that the fog around him was heavier, and the water vapor was evaporated by his high body temperature. Compared with a human, in the heavy rain and mist, he was more like an angry machine. With the sound of metal collision and blood splashing from time to time, his body trembled, his straight back gradually arched, and sharp nails were emerging.

Song Yi was in a trance for a moment, and a picture appeared in his mind. In the next collision, the dagger escaped from his control, and he stretched out his hand. In that second, he couldn't tell whether he was experiencing it, preparing to do it, or some kind of need.

He let go of the dagger and scratched the nearest maid with his sharp nails, leaving a palm-length mark on her shoulder.

Song Yi exhaled and felt his body temperature rise higher. His brain felt dizzy again, but he moved even faster. He did not hesitate to chase after the other maids to avoid their attacks.

He didn't know when it started, but the ground was soaked with rainwater, mixed with the blood of the maids, or perhaps his blood. The rain falling from the sky slowed down, and the sporadic sounds became clearer. At this moment, it came into his ears as if countless people were shouting "God of War" and "Fight".

Not for him, but for the Duke. While he was concentrating on counterattacking, the victory of the battle on the other side was coming to an end faster than his. The huge wolf was fighting with the woman in armor. The broken armor was repairing in the passionate drumbeats. When Song Yi realized that something was wrong, even the soft cloth on the maid's body changed, with a layer of metal attached, so his claws could not penetrate it.

Song Yi's consciousness quickly returned with the cheers. At the moment of the collision, he reacted first, using the force to jump back, and at the same time activated unlimited firepower, and fished out a gun. His body had already turned into half beast, and it was difficult for him to hold the gun handle. The pistol was buried in the flesh pads. He pushed and groped, and finally got to a suitable angle so that he could barely fire.

"Wait."

A voice broke into the battle. He looked where it came from and saw the young man who had an expression of "it's none of my business" just now walking towards them on the wet stone road.

Song Yi suddenly had an idea. His next step was to move to the side, hide behind a tree, and stop at the shooting point he had chosen. But the moment the idea came to his mind, he stepped towards the boy, turned his wrist slightly, and put the muzzle of the gun against the boy's temple.

The scene froze for a moment, and only his voice echoed in the air, saying, "Okay, let's exchange the hostages."

In fact, the moment the sound left his tongue, Song Yi became the most nervous person in the room. He had never thought of actually shooting, he just wanted to trick the Duke, but if his claws shook, he would accidentally... Hold on! Don't panic!
