"Heard about it? That rumored fellow seems to be coming to our side…"
"That guy's a butcher, can Lungn even be a place to stay anymore?"
"No matter what, he wouldn't kill his own people, right?"
"But I heard that guy laughs maniacally when killing people, doesn't even spare a single survivor, truly terrifying…"
"…"
Listening to the discussions of the people beside her, Hoshiguma, who initially didn't think much of it, sat on the chair and thought carefully, feeling this thing was indeed a bit terrifying.
It had been almost half a year; everyone wasn't so civilian rumor-monger . As a relatively special independent ard force separate from all factions in Lungn, their information, to so extent, might be more sensitive than the official side. They were very clear about who was coming next. And Hoshiguma was clearly slow to realize.
This place was said to be a civilian ard organization, but in reality, it was a gathering place for rcenaries and freelance individual rcenaries, funded and provided land by Lungn officials. Most inside were lone wolves and unruly strong individuals. Building it into a fortress was actually most importantly not for dealing with external enemies, but rather for letting the troublemakers inside fight freely. And clearly, although these people were useful and capable, they needed a strong person to suppress their personalities.
Ch'en obviously couldn't do it; although strong, she was just ordinarily strong. So they tentatively searched for a hidden boss concealed among the civilians of Lungn.
And then just directly invited him over.
Hoshiguma, who had always been insensitive to intelligence, only now knew who the man chatting and laughing with Ch'en that day was.
"The Butcher of Kazimierz…"
Looking at the harmless smile on the docunt, the sa as yesterday, Hoshiguma felt her green hair was about to glow.
That legendary figure, who single-handedly founded Eden, and at the sa ti used imnse violence and strong iron-fisted politics to suppress the entire Lungn, making them not dare to even squeak . In the Knightly Nation, he fought one against a thousand, establishing his reputation as the Heavenly Butcher , then, on the grounds of injury, demanded the entire world's dical system to modify his supposedly frail body. He had even laid out plans in Lungn early on, successfully bringing a considerable part of Lungn under his control; Eden was the vanguard.
Even the tallest building in the city had beco the Eden White Tower, its iconic cold light manifesting an extre form of hegemonism. Although Hoshiguma had seen that person several tis, and often heard Ch'en say he was just soone with inexplicably good luck. But this matter wasn't groundless ; although there were definitely embellished or even confused materials inside, undoubtedly, the fact that he cruelly massacred all rebellious knights in an alley was true. His layout in Lungn was certainly also true. Although confident in her own strength, Hoshiguma still felt a long-lost unease thinking about this upcoming colleague.
She was very formidable, and not easily scared. But that was only when facing Lungn's gangs and thugs. But the colleague coming now was the terrifying butcher who broke and crushed the Flower of Knighthood, destroyed the entire prestige of Kazimierz, and forced those stubborn knights to undergo modernization.
Single-handedly slaughtering nearly a quarter of a sovereign nation's main forces; Hoshiguma felt if it were her, even a dozen of herself would probably be just fodder.
Thinking this way, how did Old Ch'en get involved with him? How was he driven out of Lungn back then? Is Lungn that aweso?
Perhaps Wei Yenwu is not past his pri and can still create such aweso news?
Hoshiguma looked at the varied materials, scrutinizing the countless self-contradictory yet seemingly plausible clues, feeling her head was about to explode. Only now did she understand why so many people looked ** (starred out in original) when the recruitnt of Li Lin was announced so ti ago.
Anyone would get a headache from this. Soone who single-handedly created a massacre, yet on the surface looked harmless and gentle to a fault; even if he beca a teammate, it would only intensify the fear, right? If this was a tough man eight chi ( chǐ, ancient unit of length) tall with an eight chi waist circumference, everyone might feel a bit secure. But such a white-haired, red-eyed man, looking short and particularly gentle, at a casual glance like a quiet young girl; everyone would only think this perverted serial killer might turn on his own people.
It can't be that the civilian supervision team gets killed by its own people on the first day of its establishnt, right?
Hoshiguma let her thoughts run wild looking at the intelligence; others with their own information channels also discussed animatedly, feeling their future might be sowhat worriso.
Being with such a fierce person, even if not dead, one would be crippled.
"Should we run now?"
"Then our rcenary group in the future—"
'Bang bang bang bang bang'
A dull sound of door-pounding ca from the entrance. Ch'en walked in from outside with a gloomy face, holding a baton, looking grimly at the noisy crowd.
"Treating Lungn like an amusent park, huh? Love playing so much, I'll play with you? Run a hundred laps around headquarters, then do five hundred frog jumps. Finish within two hours, go."
"Oh!"
"…Co back. Let introduce the newcor to you first."
Looking at the crowd, who looked as if granted amnesty and were about to run out joyfully, Ch'en called them back with one sentence. Then, under the resentful gazes of nurous police officers, she took a deep breath and clapped her hands towards the entrance.
"Li Lin, you can co in. These are all your future colleagues, say hello to everyone. Let introduce you."
"Mm."
Accompanied by a soft sound of agreent, a man who looked slightly petite and walked sowhat uncoordinatedly erged from behind the door. His handso face carried a kind smile as he waved at the tearful-looking operators inside the door, revealing a smile with maxed-out affinity.
"My na is Li Lin, I guess I'm an external civilian staff mber of this departnt. Mainly responsible for data review, complex terrain assault command, and assistance in so complex situations. Due to the excessively bloody and terrifying nature of the front-line battlefield, it's difficult for to fight side-by-side with everyone, please understand. After all, I am a pacifist. In the future, I will learn more from the judgnts and decisions of all seniors, striving to return Lungn to stability and harmony as soon as possible. Thank you, everyone."
"Pacifist…"
"Senior…"
"Stability and harmony…"
Are you sure you're not kidding?
Do these words have half a cent's connection with soone like you, a blood-handed butcher, the nesis of humanitarianism?
Although all the staff didn't say it out loud, they still looked at the sincerely smiling Li Lin before them with deep suspicion.
