What is trust?

Trust comes at a price.

Most trust is built on secrecy - the other person can only see the side of you that shines, but not the side of you that you don't want others to see.

If your secret is exposed to others without reservation, the trust once built on the secret will quietly collapse, and you will become a complete stranger in the eyes of the other person.

Now, Jack has revealed a secret that must not be known to outsiders, but Kino can't do anything. He can't attack Jack, otherwise it will only be understood as angry. He can only stand there silently, being surrounded by all kinds of people.

Looking around, the power of language seemed so pale to him, as if he had lost all meaning of existence.

At this moment, in the soul cage surging with black fire, Jack's "prophecy" was performed.

Starting from his legs and feet, Jack's body began to burn. It was different from the previous aliens who "burned up in sparks". This was another way... It could even be said to be burning in the true sense.

Jack seemed to have turned into a ignited painting. The burning parts of his body no longer turned into light particles and disappeared into the sky, but turned into some kind of black evil substance. Every time a bit of it was burned, thousands of pieces would float.

In the air, it was swept and rolled by strong winds, forming an impenetrable black curtain that swallowed up all light.

This is the price of being obliterated. The individual existence will disappear forever. It will not even be engraved on the "Monument for the Dead" like the reincarnations who died in the war. Except for the memories in other people's minds, there will no longer be anything in this world.

traces of its existence.

But for Jack, this kind of obliteration is not despair. Her previous life has already carved a profound mark in history, whether it is hundreds of years or thousands of years... When the world talks about the foggy city in the 19th century,

The name "Jack the Ripper" will be unavoidable, and the fear she brings will appear in the pens of literati, engraved in printed books, and forever rooted in the minds of the world.

The same is true in this world. So what if you fail to complete the invasion mission? So what if you are wiped out by the cube? She spreads terror into the world, collapses the relationship between people, and creates a world worse than death for her prey.

Horrible situation - no one can be trusted.

A life with foreseeable results and no surprises ends like a game.

Death is just a return to the starting point.

The black fire of evil and filth burned ragingly, and the ashes burned from Jack's body covered the sky and covered the moon. They were everywhere, making people wonder if a few pieces of ashes were inadvertently breathed in, whether they would stay forever like parasitic poisonous insects.

in the body...

Jack's wild laughter was just like her body, which was already dying in the flames. When the last remaining part of her head was turned into ashes, her last farewell words rang in the air: "I wish you a good time, future generations~"

The moment Jack was burned out, the evil black fire was extinguished instantly, and all the ashes that filled the surrounding area disappeared together, as if they had never appeared, and the sunlight from the dome fell on everyone again.

The hot sunshine in the red lotus season is as cold as the cold...

Kino remained silent, doing nothing and being unable to do anything.

Originally, he still had a slim chance of making a comeback and could rely on words to break Jack's disclosure.

But when Jack is really wiped out, just like her "prophecy", the words become meaningless, and the last hope disappears.

The power of language is sometimes so pale.

People will subjectively identify with what is happening in front of them, rather than believe and listen.

What you see is the truth.

For some reason, the first thing Kino thinks about now is not how to break the "truth" told by Jack, nor how to defend himself, but to see Solandel's reaction.

The reason? I can’t tell. There seems to be no definite reason. Just like when he was slandered as the murderer of Bolton before, he did not run away, but went to Solandelle’s room in the middle of the night to see her reaction.

As unstoppable as the most instinctive impulse.

So, Kino looked over.

Solandel stood there blankly, covering her mouth so hard that she didn't even know that her nails had scratched her face. Her eyes were full of panic, helplessness, and despair... The look in Kino's eyes was like...

Look at the incomprehensible horrors.

When Kino cast his gaze, Solandel stepped back in horror as if faced with something evil, and distanced herself from him. Tears flowed out like broken pearls, flowing down the back of her palms to her wrists, wetting her wrists.

The "thread" given to her by Chino...

Kino was still looking at her silently, and for some reason, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Solandel was in shock. She saw Kino smiling, her vision was a little erratic for a moment, and then she suddenly caught a glimpse of the red string on her wrist.

At this moment, memories of the past rushed to her face, and the young princess suddenly recalled many scenes...

The feeling of falling in love at first sight when we first met appeared in front of my eyes, and the tender "To the Little Princess" echoed in my ears. The red rope symbolized protection, the vast moonlight was as gentle as water, and the letter said——

No matter where you are, Solandel will always be under the moon; no matter where you want to go, Doguland is still home.

The memories of the past were like fireworks changing before her eyes. Solandel suddenly woke up from a dream and looked at Kino in confusion...

However, her gaze was not responded to because it was blocked.

Seeing Kino staring at Solandel, Resakhar used his body to protect her behind him and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please step back."

At the same time, a figure came behind Kino.

Kino didn't need to look back. Just from the irresistible oppressive momentum, he knew he was Edward Troy in the sixth sequence of "The Bound One".

Edward put his hand on Kino's shoulder. He didn't use any force, but still revealed his unshakable strength: "Don't make any moves. Don't move. This is for your own good."

At the same time, the soul master who originally cast a spell to trap Jack also quietly changed direction. Amidst the increasingly shrill screams of the soul slaves, the dark and mysterious soul magic energy began to wrap around Kino, like vomiting.

The poisonous snake holding the letter.

The extraordinary beings of the Troy family have all turned into beasts, with ferocious red light emitting from their beastly pupils, surrounding Kino in layers like they are hunting prey.

All the personal guards present also lit up their divine seals, ignited golden fire all over their bodies, and stood side by side with the plague beasts, watching eagerly.

With just this breath, Kino fell from his previous status and became a public enemy of the kingdom...

...

On the 22nd of Red Lotus in the year 513 of the Fire Moon Calendar, the fifth batch of extraterrestrial visitors died, but a shocking incident was also involved - the administrator of Twilight City in the Beacon Province, Kino Van Helsing, turned out to be an extraterrestrial visitor.

.

In the 513th year after the founding of the country, a huge haze descended silently over Doguland, shrouding this ancient country. Undercurrents of forces from all sides surged, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood rain.

Crazy ambitions that have been hidden for a long time, deep and desolate lamentations, and the darkness that has been dormant for thousands of years... When the torrent of the times advances, it will bring everything with it and push history forward.
