My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

The sudden darkness did not frighten the jackal.

As a researcher who believes in science, and as a character who is already in the dark, Jackal is not afraid of the dark.

She did not panic, and even had the energy to remain vigilant, alert to the direction of the raven.

Raven took the little girl named Sora with him, apparently hoping to change his ways and make up for his past sins, or maybe he was just pretending. In any case, as a former accomplice, Jackal knew that he should be wary of Raven.

She held her breath and faced the direction the raven was in before, ensuring that she could react in time if the opponent launched an attack.

However, when he noticed the cold light drawn by the deadly steel behind him, the Jackal knew that his judgment was wrong.

The danger does not come from the raven, but from the unknown enemy in the darkness.

Boom!

The weapon that should have been a dagger was originally stabbed from the jackal's back to the heart, but a new situation suddenly occurred. There was a strange sound. The attacker seemed to have suffered some kind of impact. The dagger that had just broken part of the jackal's flesh and blood... Touch and leave.

The door to the manor was opened at some point, and through the faint moonlight, Jackal vaguely saw a figure fleeing in embarrassment.

Although he couldn't see the other person's face, the Jackal determined his identity - Gray Snake just by looking at his attire.

Tsk, I was only focusing on the raven and almost forgot about this guy.

The jackal bared his teeth.

There was a sharp pain in my back and an uncomfortable warmth.

It was the feeling of blood flowing.

The dagger failed to pierce his heart, but it still caused him serious injuries.

Jackal struggled to endure the powerlessness caused by the flow of blood and looked at the other person beside him.

It was this man who prevented Gray Snake from assassinating him.

The opponent's appearance was unexpected by Jackal. He did not expect that this guy who has the identities of a detective, a novelist and a doctor, and any of his identities should have nothing to do with his personal strength, would actually have the power to instantly repel the Gray Snake and save him. killed oneself

"Thanks."

Trying to express her gratitude to Hua Yi in the loudest tone for saving her life, Jackal accomplished her goal. She felt relaxed and fell into a coma due to her serious injuries.

Her purpose was not to simply thank you, but to express her gratitude through He thanked others in the hall and made it clear that it was not Hua Yi who attacked him, so as not to cause misunderstandings.

Even if he knows that he is not a good person, Jackal still has principles, at least he cannot let the guy who saved his life get into trouble.

Hua Yi When Yi heard this thank you, he suddenly felt a little guilty.

With his strength, he could have prevented the jackal from being injured.

It was just that he wanted to make the jackal suffer for some special reasons, so it became the current situation.

Otherwise , let alone the distance from the study room on the second floor of the manor to the hall, even if it is ten times longer, Hua Yi can still make the jackal unscathed.

With his powerful control over Honkai energy, he can reach it from a distance Being able to mobilize Honkai Impact can crush the"Grey Snake" to death.

Well, seeing as Jackal is so sincere, he will have the opportunity to make up for her a little later.

Hua Yi made a decision silently in his heart.

Originally, Ai Yin said it should be The backup power supply that came into effect immediately after the power outage belatedly began to operate after several minutes had passed since the beginning of the power outage. The dark hall was once again illuminated by lights.

Then, Raven and Sora looked at When we arrived at Hua Yi and the jackal whose back was covered with blood, he was supporting him.

"what happened?"

The raven hurried over, took out a bandage from his belongings, and applied a simple hemostatic bandage to the jackal, while asking Hua Yi. I don't know if it was the jackal's thank you just now that had an effect, or something else. For some reason, Raven had no doubt that Hua Yi was the one who attacked Jackal.

Previously, Jackal was located closer to the door, while Raven and Kong were deeper in the hall, with the darkness of the power outage. , at such a distance, the raven should not be able to see the specific situation. At most, it can feel the air flow when the manor door suddenly opens.

"Someone deliberately caused a power outage, and then wanted to kill the jackal in the dark, but I stopped him."

Hua Yi gave an explanation.

The explanation made the raven pause for a moment.

When he asked about the situation before, the raven found that he was actually suspected of attacking the jackal.

Unexpectedly, Hua Yi responded so simply, I have no intention of doubting myself at all

"You...don't you think it was me who attacked the jackal?"

"The attacker has escaped from the manor and should be the same person who attacked Nancy, called Gray Snake."

Hearing this, Raven clenched her fists involuntarily.

She thought of what happened five years ago, and of the secrecy methods that people who walk on the dark side most like to adopt. She thought of many, many things.

Even though she was not injured, Raven's expression But it suddenly became extremely ugly.

Ai Yin and Fu Hua also came to the hall.

Although it was a bit unhuman, Fu Hua's mood did become much lighter when he saw that it was Jackal who was injured instead of Hua Yi.

Love Yin took on the corresponding responsibility, called the medical staff, and sent the seriously injured and unconscious Jackal to the medical area.

"Made by Gray Snake?"

"Let's put it that way."

Hua Yi's wording was a bit weird, and Ai Yin didn't pay too much attention to it.

The quality of a scientist came into play at this moment, and Ai Yin maintained a calm and calm way of thinking.

"We cannot rule out the possibility that Gray Snake intentionally caused casualties to find Nancy's location, so I will arrange a separate ward for Jackal. Please understand this."

"Well, it should."

Hua Yi signaled Ai Yin to act according to her own ideas.

Watching the other party and the medical staff leave with Jackal, Hua Yi turned to look at Raven, who had an ugly face.

"Why, are you injured too?"

"……No."

Raven gave a negative answer in a stiff tone, pulling Kong to step aside, and then seemed to think of something, and asked Hua Yi

"Why do you want to save the jackal?"

"Um...because I'm a kind person?"

It's not a statement, it's a joke. This answer is really unconvincing.

Raven breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Hua Yi for a while, and then turned around and left with Kong without saying a word.

The night gradually faded. It was late, and Kong was in a weak state, so he had to rest early.

The manor was very large, and Tesla and Ai Yin had already arranged a residence for the raven.
