Opening the wooden box that "Taeko" brought, a complete set of human bones were piled up and stacked in it.
It was the other skeleton "Cornelia" that was brought back from the burial place of "Taeko" on the northeastern border.
This girl was a companion of "Red Eyes" during her lifetime. She was one of the elite seven members of the former empire's assassination force. Ranked No. 3, she was good at physical close combat and used the gauntlet-type weapon "Smash King".
Once, by mistake, she and "Taeko" hit it off and became good friends, but due to different camps, they fought to the death on the battlefield. In the end, she was killed by "Taeko" by a single move.
At present, the newly born Oberg Killer Association is seriously lacking in combat power, and Luo Jie is unable to find more suitable candidates for a while, so he can only think of these members of the enemy's former empire's assassination force.
The resurrection process no longer wastes space in recounting it.
"Cornelia"'s eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes. After the brief chaos brought about by the resurrection, a black dragon column flipped up, and its slender legs swirled into a ball of dazzling white light.
Just when she wanted to hold the strange man in front of her and ask him what was going on, a blood-red long knife was pressed against her throat first.
"Cornelia" had to slowly raise her hands, frowned and looked around, and said in a cold tone: "Where is this? Who are you?"
This barrage of questioning is very consistent with a person's stress reaction after the film is broken.
Luo Jie slowly withdrew the [Netherworld Flower Burial] that was pressing against "Cornelia's" throat, showing with practical actions that he was not an enemy. Then he threw the clothes he had prepared in advance to her and said with a smile: "My name is Night Dire.
This is the imperial capital."
"What? The Imperial City? I was clearly on Utoxi Street in the White Wolf River before..." "Cornelia" covered her forehead, as if she wanted to remember but couldn't. "Could it be that I was too injured?"
Zhong, dad and Chitong sent me back to the imperial capital for treatment?"
She raised her head sharply and said urgently: "Where are dad and Chitong? I have something very important to tell them! Taeko, the old woman and another girl who live in the same hot spring hotel as us are from the rebel faction.
Here comes the killer!"
The "dad" in "Cornelia's mouth" is the former commander of the elite group of the Empire's assassination force, and the former imperial weapon user "Gozzi" of [One Kill Murasame], because he is training the seven members of the elite group.
He put a lot of effort into it, and was respected as a biological father by the seven children who had been brainwashed by the empire since childhood and lacked family love and care.
"No need to inform, they are no longer here."
Luo Jie's calm answer made "Cornelia" who was not mentally prepared at all feel as if she was struck by lightning. It took her a while to recover, grabbed Luo Jie's arm and asked impatiently: "What do you mean they are gone? They are gone."
Were they all killed by rebel members? How long have I been unconscious?!"
"It's not coma, it's death. Lord Nightmare resurrected you."
A familiar girl's voice floated from behind.
When "Cornelia" heard this voice, her face suddenly changed. She quickly turned around and took a stance to meet the enemy. Only when she clenched her fists did she suddenly realize that her vassal [King of Shatter] had been destroyed.
"Cornelia, the Empire Assassination Force that you belong to no longer exists, and the employment contract between the Oberg Assassin Society and the Dove Life Army that I belong to has long expired. Although I don't know if I, who killed you with my own hands, can still be with you.
You are friends again, but we are no longer enemies."
"Taeko" walked out of the shadows in the corner of the room and looked at "Cornelia" quietly, with mixed emotions on her face that clearly had the characteristics of a foreigner from an oriental island country.
"What? Kill?...How is that possible?"
"You should still remember that I cut your carotid artery in the end. You are also a killer. You should know that it is impossible to save that kind of injury."
"Cornelia" subconsciously covered her neck, and her face instantly turned pale.
She finally remembered the scene before her death. She was struggling on the ground, crying and begging "Taeko" to stop, but she was pierced through the throat by the other party with no expression on her face.
"Then... why am I still alive?"
"I said, it was Lord Nightmare who resurrected you."
Mentioning Luo Jie's name, "Taeko"'s tone was full of reverence. Although the expression on her face was not like "Maillard"'s, which always showed a strange kind of fanaticism, there seemed to be something in the clear eyes of the girl.
The stars are twinkling.
"Lord Night Dire is the incarnation of God Oberg and is the only master served by all members of our association."
"Cornelia" only felt that her mind was extremely confused. She sat down on the bed and held her forehead, subconsciously making the last resistance: "No, I don't believe it. Resurrection is too ridiculous..."
"Taeko" wanted to say something, but Luo Jie raised his hand to stop him.
He threw several newspapers on the table to "Cornelia" and said, "This is the latest newspaper from the Imperial Capital today. You can look at the date on it."
"Cornelia" looked for the date on the front page of the newspaper like a madman, and then her whole body froze as if she was petrified.
"It's actually...more than a year has passed..."
She had suspected that the newspaper was a forgery, but for a lie like this that could be exposed by just asking a passerby, relying on a fake newspaper alone had no meaning at all.
"Taeko, please go out first, I think Cornelia needs to calm down."
"Taeko" saluted Luo Jie and stepped out of the door. Before leaving, she turned her head and took a deep look at "Cornelia" beside the bed.
The firewood in the fireplace made a crackling sound, and the flickering firelight illuminated the confused face of the blonde girl.
"Are you...really a god?"
Obviously, being able to ask this question shows that the heart of this former imperial elite killer has begun to waver.
"It depends on how you understand the concept of "gods". In the eyes of monkeys, humans are gods; in the eyes of ordinary people, the Teigu users are gods; in your eyes, I am probably a god."
Luo Jie sat on the sofa by the fireplace with his back to "Cornelia", using [Netherworld Flower Burial] to repeatedly cut and resurrect the [Fire Insect] that had long given up treatment as usual.
Although he has not succeeded in awakening the [Andra's Explosive Flame] that has a three-in-10,000 chance so far, he has found that this action itself is very stress-relieving.
"Then why did you resurrect me?"
"For some reasons, I need your power." Luo Jie put away [Fire Insects] and [Netherworld Flower Burial], stood up and came to "Cornelia", and said with emotion: "Of course, there are still some
The reason is because of Taeko, when she was forced to kill you, she prayed to the gods that it would be great if she could be a companion when we meet again."
"Cornelia" was slightly moved. As a killer, she could understand "Taeko"'s position and helplessness, so she actually never hated "Taeko" who killed her.
"But I am a member of the Imperial Assassination Force."
"He is a former member of the Imperial Assassination Force." Luo Jie said with a heavy emphasis on the word "former" and said with a slight smile: "The Empire no longer has this establishment, and besides, your personal information was also killed in battle, so you can go back rashly without fear of being regarded as forgery.
Is he an enemy spy?"
"Cornelia" looked dim. As a secret killer trained by the empire, she knew very well that everything would develop in the direction mentioned by the man who claimed to be a god.
Everyone who can prove her identity is gone, and now she is just a dead person who theoretically does not exist in this world.
