Finale of the Nocturne, the Falsehood Buried in This Night

The moment the shattering sound came from my heart, I felt both falling and weightless.

In the narrow room, in front of the Forbidden Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City, a pitch-black figure fell weakly from the sky. He dragged his wide and broken clothes that were burning in the night. The noisy and intense momentum of the previous second was no longer there, and he fell straight down.

[Lun Card] is Fangran’s only Culuo card that can control space. However, interfering with space and spanning half the distance of the capital, connecting the space of the night game and sending Ye Sheng away, the cost is huge beyond Fangran’s. Random imagination,

But he had no choice.

If Yesheng is replaced by A-17, he really won't regain her confidence again.

And the price for doing this is that in just a moment,

The external load core made a cracking sound that was comparable to using the [violent card] tonight.

At the edge of the field of vision, a full 10% of the integrity disappeared in an instant.

The mana value that supported the Night Patrol's liberation and demonstrated the speed at which the mythical Night Crow patrolled the world was completely insufficient, causing him to lose control and fall towards the ground.

However, in the middle of his fall, the lock that originally changed the space was transferred to his body because the person in his arms was not there.

Fangran struggled slightly to see, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

He opened his boiling black eyes, raised his head slightly and quietly, and looked at the night sky that he was looking at just a few seconds ago.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony behind him was still burning in the raging flames cut off by the red flame sword marks.

At the edge of the field of vision, the external load core kept sending warnings, and there was only the last bit of damage left...

5%.

"It's incredible, you exceeded my expectations once again."

A-17, who had always had an exaggerated and wanton tone, suddenly sounded calm. He jumped down from the Taihe Gate, walked slowly, and looked at Fangran across the entire outer square.

At this moment, the shadow of the sword light flashes in the Chonglou. The figure of the swordsman holds the ancient sword and stands on the top of the building. The wings of the fallen angel flap and float in the sky on the other side of the Chonglou.

The Earth Dragon slowly took steps, stepping back to the position on the west side step by step. The arc light descended on the other side, and the fuselage containing powerful power stepped on the ground, causing a slight roar.

In the narrow Forbidden City, the number of people is equal at this moment, the battlefield is divided, and the two sides are facing each other.

Arakawa still had the same chuckle that he had not changed tonight, and Adrian seemed to have realized something at this moment. He stared at the temple in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a vigilant expression. He was wearing an elegant dress, and the broken hem was burning. A figure in the dark night.

After hearing A-17's words, Fangran finally came out of his trance and looked at the enemy on the opposite side of the battlefield with some hindsight.

He finally had time to look at tonight's enemy.

"Not only are you unparalleled in speed and defense, but you also have the ability to see through your mind. If you were alone, probably no one would be able to stop you tonight."

A-17 said these words calmly. It was precisely because he saw Night Patrol's abilities after liberation that he did not make any move to stop Fang Ran, but instead changed his target to his arms. Yesheng.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. This is the first time we meet. I am A-17. You can also call me Shiqi."

The man with crimson slit eyes introduced himself elegantly and politely, but his name made Fangran a little distracted.

A-17? Humanity?

The clothes as dark as the long night were still burning endlessly, but its owner suddenly felt tired and exhaled slowly. He slowly closed his boiling black eyes, with the crow-feathered corners of his eyes reflecting His weakness at the moment,

After patrolling the city all night, he finally rescued everyone.

Everyone was safe, and he, who hadn't stopped for a moment, seemed to finally be able to stop and take a good breath.

Peel off all disguises and masks,

He changed from the needed night crow back to that ordinary young man.

"Okay, okay, gentlemen, let's sort out the situation."

On the other side, A-17 returned to his smiling face like a banquet host in the upper class,

He clapped his hands and smiled to get everyone's attention.

The night watchman raised his head and glanced sideways. The Sword Immortal was alone on the roof of the Chonglou, and the Fallen Angel crossed his hands in the sky with a cold expression.

It seemed that everyone's eyes except Fangran were focused on him, wanting to see what he wanted to say.

"The point of conflict is that the lady is no longer here. Although it is a pity, it seems that my plan to eliminate an A-level participant tonight has also failed."

"It's obviously a rare opportunity..."

A-17 sighed with a rather regretful look, and then he cheered up in the next second and smiled:

"Mr. Arakawa has been unable to achieve the last step of his goal. The cooperation with Mr. Executive Officer has come to an end. Mr. Technician, who came to rescue people over there, has no reason to continue. And the Night Watchman probably also prevented Mr. Arakawa from arresting him. Capture rather than kill, so I have no reason to continue.”

The earth dragon moved slightly, causing the earth to roar. Yongtu raised his eyes indifferently, his gown swaying slightly. However, as soon as he made a move, A-17 immediately spoke exaggeratedly:

"Oh, of course, of course, I know Lord Night Watch, you must take this opportunity to kill me, but this time you are the only one here at midnight, are you really sure to kill me?"

The eye sockets were cracked with small red marks, and the crimson eyes were open. A-17 lowered the brim of his hat and smiled mysteriously. When he heard his words, Yongtu, who controlled the thousand-meter earth dragon, also stopped.

"So, although it is a pity, it seems that tonight's banquet will come to an end, gentlemen."

"Haha, this really doesn't sound like the words of a guy like you who just wanted us to fight to the end."

Within the arc, Ling Feng's cold laughter came. A-17 showed no panic at all, waving a cane that he had conjured from nowhere, and saluted politely:

"After all, the number of people is equal, and there is one person on your side who no one can stop. He can see through the existence of thoughts. Even if there is a fight, there will be no results, and..."

The words paused, and he spread his hands with a smile and continued:

"The key point of the conflict is no longer there. I also have to worry about the possibility of you humans uniting to deal with an alien like me. There are now five A-level participants."

Tsk, this cunning monster!

At the moment when Ye Sheng was sent away, Ling Feng also considered temporarily uniting everyone to deal with this guy. After all, even if there was hatred, the interests of eliminating an A-level top 20 person were common.

There is no other way. If this monster wants to leave, there is really nothing they can do to keep him since their hearts are not yet unified.

It seems that things will come to an end tonight. The rest...

Within the arc, Ling Feng glanced at Yongtu on the side of the Earth Dragon and Arakawa on the Chonglou on the other side, and for some reason, a smile with unknown meaning but not kindness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Is it really the negotiation between Midnight and Nishui regarding the destruction of the Night Bureau?

Ridiculous, so boring.

Ling Feng showed a look of waning interest. Adrian on the other side also knew all this. His expression was cold and unhappy but he was also ready to leave. A-17 smiled and prepared to open the passage to the dark world. Yongtu raised his head and looked at the Chonglou. Arakawa,

But at this moment...

Just when everyone thought everything was over tonight!

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the young man whose whole body was covered with the burning light of the night parade slowly, slowly, and somewhat tiredly opened his boiling black eyes.

With his eyes lowered, he suddenly spoke in a soft and low voice, with no emotion audible:

"So, you are the leader of Nishui, Arakawa?"

There seemed to be a night wind blowing, and everyone stopped moving. Ling Feng stopped operating the mecha that wanted to leave, and looked at the most mysterious figure tonight.

Yongtu's eyes flickered slightly, and the scholar's figure in long gown looked at Fangran, who had been silent just now.

On top of the Chonglou, facing Fang Ran's sudden question, Arakawa looked slightly surprised. He lowered his head and smiled gently, then nodded and admitted, repeating his words simply.

"Well, I am the leader of Nishui, Arakawa."

【reality】

"Is it...."

Looking at the reality emerging in front of him, Fangran took a deep breath and whispered to himself.

It's really ridiculous, Fangran, even though you agreed to that girl, you were obviously ready to give up on that plan just now.

The A-level in front of you is completely different from what you originally expected. It is far more powerful than you expected.

So, even so, you still want to do that kind of crazy plan?

The night wind was blowing, and the long and broken clothes of the night patrol were constantly burning out and regenerating. Desire grew from the heart, anger exploded from the mind, and a hot emotion suddenly burned from the exhaustion of his overdraft tonight,

Let the young man at this moment quietly raise his head and answer his own question hoarsely in his heart.

Yes, I originally planned to take Sister Yesheng away just like that, but...

Who asked me to be left behind...

Everyone else was slightly surprised. No one expected that this supernova that suddenly broke into the battlefield tonight would suddenly interrupt the conversation between Yongtu and Arakawa to solve the problem.

Even A-17 stopped leaving and listened with interest.

The broken clothes burned quietly behind him. Fangran, who had been silent all this time, breathed out softly, as if to release all the fatigue he had tonight, and spoke softly and calmly:

He raised his boiling black eyes and looked at the Chonglou!

"Did you arrange the attack on the Los Angeles restaurant?"

The calm words were met with a gentle reply from Arakawa and a smile, and the swordsman nodded and acknowledged with a chuckle.

"Well, it's me."

【reality】

"Did you send the man who could control zombies and the woman who used demonic wind at that concert?"

"Well, it's Yin Kui and Xin Ya who I sent."

【reality】

"The attack in Linfu neighborhood was caused by the demon dwarf potion you gave to those mercenaries?"

"Well, that's right, although they happened to run into Night Watch and Zero Rider."

【reality】

A simple conversation took place in the dark night of the narrow Forbidden City. It was obvious that one of the two people spoke calmly and the other chuckled gently, but everyone felt that something was heating up in the conversation between the two.

Yong Tu was silent, and Ling Feng looked at him through the arc light with a careless sneer.

Listening to Arakawa's answer which did not try to deny or cover up, in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the dark and silent young man was silent for a second and whispered to himself:

"That's it..."

In the previous confrontation, unlike the foreigner with the wings of a fallen angel, the figure who answered his words attacked fiercely and mercilessly.

But he didn't let himself feel that malice.

So he even thought that he had made a mistake, that he had mistaken the target of venting, but at this moment he looked at the answer given to him by the scale.

As if the answer is finally determined, or the root cause is finally known,

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Suppressing the urge to clench his hands tightly, he still looked at the elegant figure holding the fairy sword above the Chonglou. His boiling black eyes suppressed all his emotions tonight, slowly opened his eyes wide, and faced Arakawa finally asked the final question:

"Then everything tonight was your plan?"

On top of the Chonglou, the figure holding the fairy sword fell silent for a moment, then laughed, nodded with a chuckle, and spoke with unknown meaning.

"Well, it's me."

【reality】

Really? So, is it really you?

The dark young man digested this fact in silence.

"Why did you do this? Is it to control the night situation, or because of midnight..."

Fangran raised his boiling black eyes and suddenly said words that surprised everyone present.

"Ever resented that you were not chosen?"

Yongtu's eyes fluctuated for a moment, and Ling Feng, who once belonged to the Night Bureau, sneered. Even Adrian raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised that Fangran suddenly said this.

At nightfall, what Ye Sheng had said to him in the car rang in Fangran's mind.

-'Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, during the Qing Dynasty...'-

-'The night game was not called the night game, and at that time, there was no going against the trend. ’-

He is Fangran, and he is still the Fangran who is smart enough to think about many things clearly.

Even though Ye Sheng didn't tell the whole story, he, who had just come out of the garden and was smart and calm but hadn't put on his mask yet, couldn't help but think that Ni Shui and Ye Ju were actually one.

Even though this 'smartness and calmness' is the so-called 'growth' he gained at the expense of innocence and simplicity.

And hearing Fangran suddenly mention this, Arakawa also smiled faintly. Standing on the Chonglou, he smiled and said in the night:

"Well, that's right. I have always felt that it was a wrong choice for the elders in the night club to hand over China's affairs to Brother Jiang Ran. I am the one who can control stronger power, so I established Nishui in order to regain the It’s my everything.”

Fangran raised his boiling black eyes and looked at him. He originally thought that he would get this answer as a matter of course, but to his surprise, Fangran looked at the scale and gave him an unexpected answer.

【false】

Is it a lie...?

However, it doesn't matter whether it's true or false.

Fangran pulled out the [Sword Card] and threw it into the air, then took out the [Fighting Card] from his heart and flicked it in the same way. Finally, he stretched out his hand, caught the silver-broken dragon tooth thrown by the phantom, and looked at the Arakawa above the Chonglou.

"You know, your plan in the outside world has failed. There are no casualties among the members of the Night Bureau."

Above the Chonglou, Arakawa's eyes froze for a second, and then he smiled to himself without much surprise:

"Yeah, that's right. I should have guessed it the moment I saw you appear."

After all, there was no way she didn't know what I was going to do.

With his black eyes boiling, Fangran looked at the two magic values ​​on the upper right side of his field of vision. At this moment, due to the 'infinite' power, the total value of the magic values ​​exceeded 10,000 points, which had reached the A-level level. It was just that Li Ze lent it to him. The external load core may no longer be able to support doubling the mana value several times.

Coupled with the fact that he liberated the Night Parade and the remaining magic energy in the Night Vessel,

This is all the strength Fangran has left at this moment.

Even if it might exceed the total energy value of anyone present, he has no confidence that he can defeat anyone. He just understood that there is a huge gap between himself and the real A-level participants who have actually increased their strength.

but....

Holding the long sword formed by the dragon-wing gauntlet in his hand, bitten by the silver dragon's spine, dragging the broken hem of his clothes that burned like tail feathers, he still spoke hoarsely and calmly,

He is no longer the Ye Ya who was asked by Ye Sheng to rescue his companions in the Night Bureau, but the young man in the Mo Shui Linlang Garden!

He stood on the battlefield of the Forbidden City, standing in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Under the power of the night device, there seemed to be another voice. He made a repeated voice that was even less human than A-17, low and hoarse!

The dark young man spoke calmly and lowly in front of everyone, but in his heart there seemed to be a child shouting out in anger and grievance, complaining about his sadness.

"I'm not interested in your past with Ziye,"

Obviously, as long as it's normal...As long as those ordinary and boring days continue, it'll be fine!

His boiling black eyes stared directly at the Arakawa above the Chonglou. A thousand meters away from the earth dragon, Yongtu remained silent and did not speak. Within the arc, Ling Feng looked at his figure and felt a wave of abandonment without any intention. Fighting quells the madness that ends.

"I don't want to know why you did such a thing tonight,"

I no longer want to be a saving hero, I've had enough of the drastic changes that suddenly change everything around me!

But why! Why! Why! ?

You have to interfere and destroy again and again, whether it's that restaurant, that concert, that night in Linfu Street, or tonight,

They all force me to use these powers that I don’t want to use! ?

"I don't even care whether you are colluding with a society or a numbered monster..."

Hidden in his fear that someone would die tonight, the anger and rage in the garden resurfaced, making his words calmer and colder. With the night crows on his shoulders, he stood tall and strong in the night.

But the child in my heart huddled innocently in the corner, hugging his knees, biting his lips to hold back the tears and said:

And then...little by little...ruining my routine...

"I don't care about any of this, and I don't want to care about it. What happens in the night battle world has nothing to do with me."

Then am I the only one to kill you? Don't miss this rare opportunity tonight! That won't happen again! ?

The anger that had been suppressed in my heart because I was rushing to save others finally broke out after saving everyone at this moment, and the aggrieved and innocent child in my heart let out fierce sobs.

I've killed three people tonight, and since the nightmare is going to last a long time,

Then I don't mind a longer one.

"but..."

The child's tearful anger in his heart seemed to dominate Fangran's thinking.

So the dark young man spoke:

"If your plan interferes with my life and affects the people I care about..."

Finally bursting out all the anger he had felt since entering that garden tonight, turning on 'infinity', squeezing the last bit of strength from his core, and liberating the night device, he dragged the wide and burning broken hem,

His black eyes were boiling. In front of the broken Hall of Supreme Harmony, he held the broken silver dragon tooth, and his hoarse overtone sounded coldly and ruthlessly!

"You are standing on the opposite side of me."
