At night, Luo Jie returned to the castle tower after finishing his inspection for the day.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs of the bedroom floor, "Sifangchuan Changpu" came up with his maid, knelt in front of him and bowed to say hello.
"Calamus, I've said it many times, this is my home, there is no need to make it so formal."
"Sifangchuan Changpu" stood up after insisting on the full ceremony, and said with a gentle smile: "I know your husband doesn't like such red tape, but I can't help but not understand the etiquette... Well, I asked someone to prepare the food and bath water.
Now, husband, do you want to eat first? Or take a bath first?"
Just as Luo Jie was about to speak, his eyes suddenly fell on the maid next to "Sifangchuan Changpu".
"Huh? If I remember correctly, "Tamako" should be on duty today, right?"
"Tamako" is the little girl who "started in the third grade" who stayed outside on the first night of the wedding. Although she always has a resentful face, she is still quite capable as a maid.
"Oh, "Tamako" seems to be sick. This is her maid temporarily..."
Luo Jie looked up and down at this new maid who seemed to be several years older than "Sifangchuan Changpu". The latter seemed a little nervous and lowered her head and did not dare to touch Luo Jie's eyes.
"I still have some official business to deal with today. Please ask someone to carry the meal to the study for me."
"Sifangchuan Changpu" didn't know why Luo Jie was so diligent today, but her good upbringing made her ask more questions and obeyed: "Okay, I will send it to my husband personally later."
"You are the wife of the city lord, you can just let the servants do this kind of errands." Luo Jie waved his hand, pointed at the maid next to "Sifangchuan Changpu" and said: "Just you, go and give me dinner now.
I'll send it to the study."
"Sifangchuan Changpu" was stunned, looking thoughtfully at the back of Fengyun, the new maid, as she hurried away, lowered her head and smiled bitterly, but said nothing more.
...
Castle tower, study room.
The heavy wooden door was opened, and the tall maid entered the room carrying a gorgeously decorated food box, placed it on the floor, turned around and closed the door.
"Lord City Lord, dinner has been delivered. Do you want to eat now?"
"Not urgent."
Luo Jie stood up from behind the desk, walked straight in front of the maid, and gently hooked her small chin with her index finger.
"Sir..." The maid's fengyun body was extremely tense, and her breathing began to become a little disordered. "What... are you going to do?"
"May I have your name?"
"Put out... put out the fire."
"understand?"
Zheng——!
A cold light unique to sharp weapons shone in the dark study. A sharp short blade came out of the maid's cuff and suddenly stabbed Luo Jie's throat.
A disdainful sneer hung from the corner of Luo Jie's mouth, and he just stretched out two fingers and held the life-threatening sword firmly between his fingertips.
When the maid saw that the assassination was revealed, she pulled away without hesitation. However, Luo Jie was faster than her, and suddenly appeared in front of her like a teleport, grabbed her slender neck and pushed her against the wall.
The huge force made the whole room make a loud thunder-like sound, and the dust on the ceiling and beams fell.
The maid struggled desperately, and the fake bun on her head fell off, revealing a rare golden ear-length short hair.
In fact, Luo Jie had already recognized the identity of this fake maid from the beginning.
This woman is called "Fire". She is one of the artificial "Kabaneri" cultivated by "Tori Meima". She is also an admirer and die-hard subordinate of "Tori Meima". In the later part of the original work, she was injected with a high concentration of Kappa.
The endovirus "Black Plasma" transformed into a huge Kabane aggregation group and destroyed "Iwato Station" at the cost of life.
"I have given you a chance so clearly, but you don't even know how to take advantage of your body as a woman... As an assassin, you are completely unqualified."
"You...bastard! I won't...let you taint my...body..."
"Extinguish the Fire"'s face turned red, and his breathing became increasingly difficult. He clasped Luo Jie's fingers tightly with both hands, but remained motionless as if he had grasped a hard vise.
"I'm afraid that's not the main reason, right?"
Luo Jie stretched out his hand and tore off half of "Extinguish the Fire"'s clothes. On the left side below the collarbone and above the northern hemisphere, a shimmering orange scar flickered brightly and dimly.
"Once you take off your clothes, the unique luminous core of "Kabane" cannot be hidden, so you are eager to take action... Well, if I guessed correctly, your original plan should be to put it in the food box
Is there poison in the food and wine?"
"Extinguish the Fire" remained silent, but the desperate look in his eyes showed that Luo Jie had guessed everything.
"Speaking of which, 'Kabaneri's' physique is really interesting." Luo Jie smiled, picking up the ribbon around "Fire Extinguishing"'s neck with his fingers, "Tie this ribbon on, and you can suppress your physical fitness to the level of ordinary people.
, thereby reducing your bloodthirsty desire... It's a pity that if you don't unlock this seal, you won't even have the strength to resist now."
The pupils of "Extinguishing Fire"'s eyes suddenly shrank, looking at Luo Jie in disbelief.
"You...who are you? Why do you know the secret of "Kabaneri"?"
Luo Jie smiled and said nothing. Villains die because they talk too much. Most people who try their best to explain their intentions to the enemy have nothing to do.
"Although I won, but... don't think you will definitely win! Wuming!"
At the same time that "Fire Fire" called out this familiar name, Luo Jie's [Supersensory Intuition] instantly sounded the alarm. He dropped "Fire Fire" without hesitation and rolled on the spot. A hot bullet flew past his ear and penetrated it one after another.
It went through several doors and windows, and finally got stuck deeply in the cracks of the stone wall.
"Jet bomb?"
Luo Jie looked around and saw a short-haired girl lying on the eaves of the castle tower, with a faint white steam floating from the muzzle of a long gun.
Finally, the first heroine of "Iron Castle" appears - "Unknown".
Luo Jie flew straight to the window, but a short knife was thrust at him diagonally. The "Extinguishing Fire" escaped from the trap and immediately untied the ribbon around his neck. The sudden increase in speed and strength forced Luo Jie to turn around and defend himself.
"I thought you were the only one, but I didn't expect "Wu Ming" to come as well. "Tian Bird Mei Ma" really thinks highly of me."
"Yes, you are an obstacle to Master Mei Ma's plan, so you must die here today!"
The bright orange markings on "Fire Extinguishing"'s body continue to increase, and a large amount of pitch-black material overflows from the body. The surface of the skin quickly condenses into pieces of protective layer as hard as steel, and the hands turn into beast-like pitch-black claws and wings.
The flying knife scraped and sparks flew everywhere.
Luo Jie suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar. Just as he was about to think about it, the "nameless" bullet on the other side was flying again.
"Two versus one is too unfair, do you mind if I add one more person?" Luo Jie's horizontal sword blocked the fatal bullets fired from a distance, and he waved his hand to open the extra-dimensional exit of [Dracula's Cloak].
