Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

(When? How?!)

The regicide suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Ever since he learned to use his Origin Stone skills, his assassinations have become almost invincible. Even on the rare occasions when he was discovered in advance or was crushed by excessive force, he could easily escape with his elusive pace.

Now, this is the first time that he was countered in an instant, and was even at such an absolute disadvantage that he couldn't even use Origin Stone skills to escape!

【Speaking of which, my patience is limited. 】

The gun on the back of his head was thrust forward hard, and the sound of the gun safety being turned on came from behind.

【Lyudmila... Lyudmila, my name is Lyudmila. 】

The situation was stronger than others, even she had to give in, and reported the name that she had almost forgotten.

【So, what is the purpose of taking Misha away?】

【I don't know...this is what Broken Bones and Chief mean.……】Although he gritted his teeth with hatred, the regicide couldn't find a way to reverse the current situation, so he had to answer honestly

【Broken bones? And the leader? who are they? What does it have to do with Misha?】

【She... I don't know the relationship between them. I only know that this little girl should be a very important person to Broken Bones. As for the leader - it seems that he also values ​​her very much.】

【…………】

Levi frowned and looked at Lyudmila's armband. The organization represented by the peculiar"x" symbol suddenly reminded him of an important piece of information he had handled before, an piece of information that also came from the crisis contract.

A glimmer of understanding suddenly appeared in his mind, as if something was vaguely connected, but it was not enough. The messy messages and the current situation prevented Levi from calming down and thinking carefully.

The woman in front of him is controlled by him, and her strength is average, so she will not become a threat to him, but he is afraid that she has other companions, and when he is multitasking, he cannot guarantee Misha's safety.

Killing is out of the question, at least not now. Now that he has not left Ursus, a corpse will definitely bring unnecessary trouble to himself and Misha.

【……I have no choice but to ask you to"stay with us for a while"】

（？——!! )

Before the King Slayer could realize the meaning of this sentence, a sharp pain in the back of her head made her vision go dark and she fainted.

————Dividing line————

【what happened? Who is she?……】

Seeing Levi knocking out the woman who just blocked the road and bringing her back to the car, Misha instinctively wanted to ask something.

【Don't ask, just tie him up first. ]

He threw the Kingslayer in his arms onto the back seat with his backhand. Levi held the steering wheel with one hand and pressed the ignition with the other hand. However, before the car started, his movement was interrupted by the untimely ringing of the phone.

【……Something's wrong? 】

Although there is no high-tech caller ID, Levi has almost guessed the identity of the other party.

【Oh haha, I guess Misha should be safe now, right? ]

The annoying voice, even when he had to plead with him to assist in the task, the old man's attitude did not make Levi feel comfortable at all.

【People are alive, at least for now - but I haven't seen the pick-up person you promised. 】

Levi's rude words did not make the old man feel dissatisfied at all. As a crisis contract coordinator for a long time, how could he not read the alienation and dissatisfaction in Levi's tone?

【I'm sorry, little brother... I'm calling you to give you some bad news. ]

After considering his tone, the old man still smiled bitterly and said: [The operator who responded to you lost contact two days ago, and the last news conveyed should be that he was attacked by a skilled assassin. 】

Levi glanced sideways at the woman in the back seat who had been tightly tied by Misha, and said nothing.

【I would have loved to send out another team of relievers if I could, but it was too late. Your affairs in Gracchus have been exposed, and Siberia is under martial law - it is impossible to bring in a fully armed team with vehicles, so——】

【We agreed at the beginning that I would take care of things here in Siberia, and you would be in charge after we leave - what do you mean now? Do you want me to send her all the way to Longmen?! 】

Levi's tone was bad, and his voice even had a bit of a growl - the crisis contract was broken twice in a row, which made him feel extremely irritable.

Moreover, the symbol on the regicide and the power behind it also gave him a strong sense of uneasiness.

Besides... I also promised to rush back as soon as possible……

【……I'm sorry, so sorry. 】

The old man did not give any more explanation. In fact, both he and Levi knew that due to the losses caused by the failure of the elite team's first rescue, the only operators the old man could send out were two or three kittens. After all, he is not the general person in charge of the crisis contract. He is a small local person in charge, and he does not have the ability to do anything in a short while.

Closing his eyes slightly, Levi sighed with a headache.

【Your sincerity cannot move me, but I will not let an innocent girl die in front of me. ]

It was almost a disguised compromise that made the old man on the other side of the communicator purse his lips. Of course, Levi couldn't see all this: [Tell me the geographical location of those people before they disappeared, and I will try to find a solution for the rest.】

【But remember... this time I not only paid off the favor owed to the crisis contract, but now you owe me a big favor. 】
