Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

"General, you shouldn't have come."

A calm voice sounded, seemingly not surprised at all by Levi's astonishing way of breaking the door.

The broken door and scattered gravel raised a puff of smoke and dust on the ground, blocking the sight of people inside and outside the room, but in fact, no matter whether it was The person who spoke was Levi, who was holding a knife and smashing the door. His eyes went straight through the smoke barrier and towards his target. The androgynous figure, the coexistence of masculine and feminine features, made Levi's eyes clear. His eyes were dazed for a moment.

I haven't seen this face for many years.……

"Alandis, you are indeed alive."

There was no feeling of reunion after a long absence, or even a hint of politeness. Levi just stood, watched, and then spoke mechanically, as if he was not facing his former subordinates, but a piece of wood.

"I once made a bet with the Pardoner."

Xuehu did not rush to say hello to Levi, his former superior, but said calmly:"……He thinks that if he wants to lead you into a trap, I am the best choice, but I - don't believe it"

"……"

Levi was silent for a moment.

Geyamagala himself didn’t know how to reply to the person in front of him. If it were purely based on the bet, there was no doubt that the Sin Absolver would beat Xue Hu.

"Whether the bait thrown out for the fish to bite the hook or swallowed by the fish is not a concern of the fisherman."

Seeing that Levi didn't speak, Xuehu shook his head without the slightest concern:"I originally thought that you wouldn't be so stupid as to step into this obvious trap."

"……"

Levi didn't speak, but still looked at Xue Hu sitting not far away.

"Well, it seems that a mere verbal confrontation is really hard to sway you."

With a long sigh, Xuehu stood up from his seat - as a prisoner, he had no restraints on his body, and this freedom, which he couldn't tell whether it was limited or unrestricted, finally made Levi raise his eyebrows.

"You know me well, Alandis... so it's hard for me to believe that you wouldn't guess my actions."

The rare answer made Xuehu surprised for a moment, and then he gave a wry smile.

"Of course... I believe you will definitely come, even if it is just to confirm whether my status is alive or dead."

Speaking of this, the male and female face became a little tangled, as if he was hesitating whether to say what he said next, and this attitude also made Levi frown slightly.

"……But it doesn't matter"

"Well, you are still so sharp."

Shaking his head slightly, Xuehu stretched out his hand to hold the seat next to him, and then took a deep breath.

"……In fact, earlier, Lord Traces and I advised him that he has another chip in his hand that you must not refuse."

Xue Hu's voice was calm, as if what he said was not to plot and anger the former commander, but to greet him after a long separation.

Just as he expected, even if he said it like this, Sakaz in front of him didn't show any signs of anger. Shaking, as if the person who was being calculated in the words just now was someone who had nothing to do with him.

If he hadn't seen the light in the other person's eyes flash away, Xuehu would have even thought that he didn't hear these words.

"To be honest, if you were to use me as the bait, there is no 100% guarantee that you will actually come... Compared to me, Sir Traces seems to be very sure of your arrival."

Levi closed his eyes slightly

"……You call him"adult" now"

"He was supposed to be 'my lord'’"

Facing Levi's seemingly indifferent question, the snow-colored haired man smiled bitterly:"……General, don't forget that even you should be controlled by the Military Commission in name only."

"……Yeah?"

The still noncommittal attitude made Xuehu's eyes even darker - what he expected did not happen. Although he had expected such a result, when it actually happened in front of him, he still felt a sense of loss.

He hoped to see Levi was disgusted with Tracy, hoping to see the legion commander who was furious because of his appearance, and even hoped that the man in front of him would curse or even draw a sword because of his betrayal.

However, Levi did not.

This It was not a disguised, suppressed anger attitude - the man in front of him was not angry, or even irritated by his own words.

"I thought... you would accuse me as a 'traitor'"

"From a purely personal grudge point of view, you cannot be considered as betraying me. Levi shook his head:"In other words, I would have made the same choice, or at least...actively survive.""

The snow-colored haired Sakaz's eyes were even darker. He would rather let Levi curse at him and vent his anger than face such a calm posture of the person in front of him.

His eyes were dull to the point of dazzling, making Xuehu feel on pins and needles..

He once swore allegiance to the Sakaz in front of him, but in the end he was helplessly used as a pawn to serve as the vanguard against the God of War.

"I'm stalling for your time, General."

"——I know."

Xuehu closed his eyes and opened his arms

"Then, just kill me. Because I have long been one——"

Halfway through the words, Xuehu suddenly froze, and at the same time there was a trace of struggle on his face, but he soon became calm again.

Immediately, the snow-haired Sakaz showed an unpleasant smile and stared closely at Sakaz in front of him.

"This guy talks a lot...so I think it's better for me to talk to you - Regulus Harvey."
