Between life and death [unlimited]

As the Golden Knight of the Divine Blessed Knights, Lanchester is another high-level existence second only to the head of the knights and the paladins.

If Lanchester just died because he didn't complete the system task, it would be a very common thing for the players in the living space--the player who didn't join the high-level organization and had to worry about the task every time is the one. Most of the living space;

But yesterday, after James and Shire returned to the Knights, they found that Lanchester and Jiang Shui had not returned. This was not a big deal, but later, there were patrolling knights in the city Reported that Lanchester was found dead on a small road in the city, and according to the traces at the scene, it was obvious that someone had intentionally murdered him.

After the sudden departure of Feb last year from the Divine Blessed Knights, only Lanchester, the Golden Knight, remained.Therefore, this incident can be regarded as a very big accident for the Divine Bless Knights, which has always been well-organized and disciplined.

You must know that Lanchester usually has a good interpersonal relationship. He basically talks and laughs with everyone, and can say a few words no matter what the topic is.Although Jiang Lai has not known him for a long time, he can also feel that Lanchester has a very easy-going and cheerful personality.

So, who will kill such an easy-going golden knight?

"...Although Lanchester has a flaw in his height, his skill is no worse than ours."

Charles finally calmed down at this moment, and he seriously analyzed with the others: "I saw Lanchester's body just now with a fatal wound on his chest, so I guess the perpetrator must have shot very quickly. To prevent Lanchester from resisting in time, it must be because he is very familiar with Lanchester—because the only one who can prevent him from making any defensive moves must be an acquaintance."

However, Shire has always insisted on the possibility of his "acquaintance committing the crime".

After James felt Shire's stubbornness again, he felt that it was an extremely stupid decision for him to bring Shire up today.

"God, why are you here again..." James whispered in pain.He was really just looking for trouble, he found a "big trouble" for himself.

But he did not directly veto Charles' conjecture, but turned around and said to Jiang Ke: "Captain, I don't object to Charles' conjecture, but I think Lanchester was killed by someone other than the Knights." harm."

"Oh?" Jiang Ke raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and seemed very interested in what James said.

"Let's talk about what you think, James."

"Yes." James replied respectfully: "First of all, Lanchester is a relatively high-ranking knight in our regiment. As Charles said, his skills are no worse than ours. Therefore, now in the Knights There shouldn’t be many people who can beat Lanchester—and those who can beat him, most of them are standing in this room now;”

Jiang Lai also agrees with this point.Although he didn't see Lanchester's body, but after hearing the description from Charles and the others, he felt that Lanchester's attack should have happened only in a flash, and it must have been done by experts other than acquaintances.

Soon, James gave his second reason: "Besides, on the way back to the Knights that day, I saw Lanchester rushing towards Yunhailin, but at the time I thought he I have a job, so I didn't go up to ask him where he was going." However, not long after James returned to the Knights, he heard the news that Lanchester had been killed.

"But looking back now, there are a lot of doubts. For example, the place Lanchester is in charge of is not in Yunhai Forest, and he is not usually so eager to act—so I guess he should have gone there to meet someone's invitation. , or in a hurry to meet someone." James made his own guess: "And later, the place where Lanchester was discovered was not far from Yunhailin."

When Charles heard that James had actually seen Lanchester, he immediately interrupted and asked anxiously, "Master James, when did you see Lanchester yesterday?"

"I think, it was almost dark at that time." James tried to recall the details of the time, and said uncertainly: "The sunset in the living space is usually at six o'clock in the evening, so I think it should be six o'clock in the evening." Let's go around."

At this moment, Jiang Xun also recalled that at six o'clock yesterday evening, he should have been following that enchanting woman and hadn't left the city yet.From this point of view, it is even less likely that he was the murderer of Lanchester.

"Then do you also support my point of view?" Charles tried to win James into his camp, and he asked Jiang Ke again: "Boss, Mr. James and I believe that an acquaintance committed the crime! I request You thoroughly investigate the insiders of the regiment, find out who really killed Lanchester and avenge Lanchester!"

James suddenly interrupted Charles' speech, saying: "Charles, I agree with your point of view, but not completely. I don't think it was our knights who killed Lanchester."

This was obviously only halfway through. James suddenly looked at the man in casual clothes standing across from him, not in a hurry to fully express his point of view.

After seeing this scene, Jiang Ke changed his mind and apparently understood what James meant.So she said to James: "If you have any ideas, just say it directly." It seems that Jiang Ke's meaning should be to stop treating the mysterious guest opposite as an outsider.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ke suddenly had a rare smile on his face.She said to the mysterious guest: "I'm sorry, but suddenly such a tricky thing happened to the Knights. But we've known each other for a long time, so we'll just talk about it openly and honestly. Don't you mind?"

The mysterious guest immediately showed a smile when he heard the words, and looked at Jiang Ke as if thinking carefully, obviously he was also a fine person.He smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Master Apate originally sent me here to discuss cooperation with everyone. Now it's just in time. You don't mind me listening in."

Jiang Ke smiled at him politely again.

When the two of them were exchanging words, Jiang Shi also immediately realized that the person who could make Jiang Ke treat him like this was probably not low in status.I just don't know what level of existence the Apate in the mouth of the mysterious guest would be?

He had never heard of the name before.

And here, after hearing Jiang Ke's promise, James quickly confessed his thoughts: "The people who are familiar with Lanchester are not the only people who are currently in the Gods Bless Knights."

"But, you don't usually see Lanchester interacting with other people?" Charles asked doubtfully.

But James just glanced at Shire, and said, "You may have been in the living world for a short time, so you don't know much about the relationship in the previous regiment. Lanchester naturally only knows people in our knight order .” Speaking of this, James’ tone suddenly paused: “However, there is a person who used to belong to the Divine Blessed Knights, but I heard that he has joined other organizations now.”

Hearing this, Charles suddenly realized: "Feb! Lord James, are you talking about Feb?"

Because Charles joined the regiment a long time later than the other veterans, and I heard from Lanchester that Feb had always worn a mask before, so except for the regiment leader, everyone had never seen Feb's real face.But Shire had heard of many things about Feb before, and knew that Feb was no less than Lord James under the head of the regiment.

And here Jiang Lai heard what James meant, and couldn't help but think of his guess about Si Yufeng just now...Si Yufeng did tell that woman about what mission he was going to Yunhailin to perform .

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai felt a sudden pause in his heart—the matter of Lanchester really has nothing to do with Si Yufeng, right?

At this time, James nodded slowly and turned around, telling Jiang Ke what they found in this game: "And leader, at the end of the copy, Charles found that Feb was entering the living space The previous true identity."

James said so, and Charles, whose reaction ability was not much worse than theirs, immediately understood.He said in surprise: "Master James, you mean... Could it be that the 'magic stick' who deceived me before is Feb?!"

"Yes, that's right. You finally found that childhood photo in the mission, which is what Feb looks like." James gave Shire a very affirmative answer: "And according to our information, Feb just joined 'Sombre'."

"God..." This time it was Charles' turn to call out to the heavens. He obviously didn't expect that even after leaving the Knights, Feb, who still has influence and is no less than an idol, would actually be the abominable villain who deceived him. !

The originally lofty and glorious image of Feb in Shire's heart collapsed in an instant and ceased to exist.

But after he came to his senses, he became curious again: "But why did Feb suddenly kill Lanchester..." Charles couldn't think of the reason why Feb wanted to kill Lanchester.

At this time, the mysterious guest who hadn't spoken much all this time suddenly interjected, "May I interrupt for a moment?"

Jiang Ke agreed very happily: "Of course."

The mysterious guest seemed to think about it for a while, then looked at Jiang Ke and said, "Just now I heard Lord James mention the dark organization 'Sombre', in fact, our Alliance of Gods has also recently discovered a lot of them in the City of Survivors." Killed corpses—including you players, and NPCs like me."

Jiang Lai originally heard that person mentioning the cooperation with the Divine Blessing Knights, and thought that this person would be a player sent by other high-level organizations. He obviously did not expect that this mysterious guest would be an NPC from the living space!This is really scary news.

Unexpectedly, players would also interact with NPCs.And the "Alliance of the Gods" in this population sounds like it should be a high-level organization similar to the Divine Blessed Knights in the living space, but completely belonging to NPC?

The mysterious guest didn't notice the abnormality in Jiang Li's eyes.He only felt that he should understand the current situation, so he continued to talk to Jiang Ke: "Moreover, it's the same situation as the Gods Bless Knights. There are also victims in our League of Gods."

Hearing what the mysterious guest said, James seemed to have found an ally, and said in a firm tone: "In this case, it seems that 'Sombre' and the others must have done the right thing!"

Then James immediately turned around and asked Jiang Ke for instructions: "Commander, 'Sombre' has been particularly rampant recently. For the sake of Lanchester, who sacrificed innocently, and for the safety of the residents in the city, I implore the Divine Bless Knights to wipe out these black sheep. !"

After hearing James' request, Jiang Ke didn't make a statement immediately, but looked at the mysterious guest on the other side.She seemed to be concerned about the cooperation between the Gods Blessed Knights and the Alliance of Gods, as if she casually asked the envoy sent by Apate: "I don't know what your Master Aapte's plans are for this phenomenon?"

"Master Apate said—even as NPCs, we have a duty to maintain the order of the city of survivors and trample on other people's lives at will!"

After the envoy sent by Apate heard Jiang Ke's temptation, he said righteously: "As for the encirclement and suppression of 'Sombre' that your subordinates just proposed, if God's Blessed Knights agree, our Alliance of Gods Of course it is full of support!"

When Jiang Ke heard this, she seemed to be infected by this person's intense emotions, and her usually cold voice became a little higher: "Okay!"

"Then I would trouble you to go back and tell your lord that this afternoon, I will go to Apate on behalf of the Divine Blessed Knights to discuss the siege of Sombre in detail."

"Okay." The envoy of the Alliance of Gods readily agreed.

After he felt that he had completed today's mission, he didn't intend to stay with the Knights any longer.So he bid farewell to Jiang Ke: "I will go back to the leader today, and I will definitely convey the truth to our adults about the conversation we just had."

Jiang Ke didn't do much to keep her.She led the crowd, sent the messenger to the gate of the knight order, and said goodbye to him politely: "Thank you for your hard work."

"You are so polite, leader, this is what I should do."

But James noticed that although the captain was the same as usual, there was a flash of cruelty in her eyes.

After following Jiang Ke for many years, he also instantly understood what Jiang Ke really thought in his heart at this time.

—revenge for Lanchester is just a good excuse to rob Sombre.

Obviously, the team leader wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Feb, who had just joined Sombre!
