Chapter 228 Look at me, I'm still alive!
Reading Settings
"It's here!"
A ghostly, chilling voice, yet carrying a strange, lighthearted chuckle, suddenly appeared in my ear.
To the man, the voice sounded like a death announcement from a demon from hell.
"Your marksmanship isn't very good. Look at me, I'm still alive! Surprised? Unexpected!"
A smiling face suddenly appeared beside him. The little girl stood behind the man, tilting her head and peeking out half of her body. Her dark eyes looked at the person in front of her, and her originally black eyes seemed to be tinged with a dark green. However, the sky was too dark to see clearly.
"That's impossible!"
The tall man suddenly turned sideways and took a few steps back, looking at Bai Nuo in horror, his eyes filled with confusion and despair.
"Now I'll ask you a question. Answer me honestly, and I might let you die a little more comfortably!" Bai Nuo smiled at the man in front of him, put his hands behind his back, and asked softly, "What country are you from, and which unit do you belong to?"
The tall man's breath caught in his throat. The eerie girl and the increasingly terrifying atmosphere of the forest finally made this man from a country that believed in God and feared demons feel afraid.
In a panic, he raised his pistol and fired several shots, then turned and ran at his fastest speed.
Unfortunately, after running only a hundred meters or so, his foot was suddenly tripped by something, followed by a huge impact from behind.
"ah!"
A terrified scream rang out as the man was sent flying forward, covering a distance of more than five meters, before crashing heavily into a large tree with a loud bang.
Before the man could get up, a hand suddenly grabbed him by the back of his collar, pulled him up, and flung him backward.
His life was threatened like never before, but as a mercenary who had undergone years of rigorous training, he stomped his foot hard and threw a punch at the ghostly figure rushing towards him.
The sharp blade sliced through the air, creating a fleeting whistling sound. The petite figure moved with lightning speed, bending down to dodge the punch thrown at her opponent. She gripped the dagger tightly in her backhand, turned sideways, and with a "thud," mercilessly plunged it into her opponent's abdomen.
Without giving the other party even the slightest chance to react, Bai Nuo drew her dagger, flipped around, and came behind the man. Without even turning her head, she slashed the man's back again.
The black dagger's thrusts appeared haphazard, yet each strike avoided fatal blows, its movements swift and ruthless, leaving trails of blood that flashed in the moonlight.
"Bang!"
The man finally collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed as he looked at the girl standing beside him.
He couldn't imagine how the Dragon Kingdom had trained this cold-blooded, ruthless, yet deadly and powerful little girl.
Despite his young age, and even though he was not as tall or strong as his thirteen-year-old sister, his movements were unpredictable and his attacks were ruthless and merciless. In the eyes of this little girl, he, a living person, was like a fleshless punching bag.
His cold, gloomy gaze and the murderous aura he inadvertently exuded made even this blood-stained mercenary feel terrified.
He couldn't even count how many times he had been stabbed in such a short time. The loss of blood made his body grow cold, and the fear in his heart grew stronger.
He originally thought this was a task that wouldn't be too troublesome. Before he came, he even thought he could make it back to his family and have the holiday gathering that had been arranged long ago.
Bai Nuo slowly squatted down beside the man, still smiling as she looked at the person lying on the ground. Her voice was gentle and elegant, yet carried a hint of eerie depth: "So now, Mr. Waste, can you tell me which country you are from and which unit you belong to?"
The man couldn't help but shudder, his face turning pale as he stared at the terrifying Chinese girl in front of him, who was like a devil.
He remembered an old man who had visited the Dragon Kingdom a long time ago saying that the Dragon Kingdom was very mysterious and that the people there were very skilled in Dragon Kingdom kung fu. Those kung fu skills could make people fly over rooftops and be impervious to swords and spears, as terrifying and powerful as demons.
He never believed these nonsensees; in his view, the resurrection of Jesus was more credible than these words.
The Dragon Kingdom he knew was an extremely poor and backward country, where the people were timid, cowardly, greedy, and selfish. He didn't even need to use his brain too much to get them to do things for him.
For example, the good-for-nothing who helped him set the fire tonight only needed two Aimu coins to exchange for Dragon Kingdom coins to make him happily help him kill people from his own country.
For someone as powerful as him, coming to such a country just to kill a few ordinary people who have no fighting ability is an easy task; he doesn't even need to show his face.
But everything that happened tonight completely shattered his will.
However, even so, as a retired soldier of the Aimu Kingdom and a mercenary currently ranked on the mercenary leaderboard, he would never allow himself to betray his country.
“Little girl, you might as well just kill me. Otherwise, when my companion arrives, he will not only rescue me, but he will also kill you and everyone here. None of you will survive.”
"Heh, is that so!"
The little girl squatted on the ground, her hands supporting her cheeks, holding a blood-stained black dagger in her hand. Her eyes and brows held an innocent look, but the coldness deep in them was eerie and sinister. Her clear voice sounded particularly strange in the night.
"But I don't believe it!" Bai Nuo lowered her hand, placing one hand on the man's body while the other hand slid the dagger across his body. The look in her eyes grew increasingly eerie, as if she possessed a madness that no normal person should have.
The voice, though languid, was still trying to sound like a normal person, asking questions slowly and deliberately.
"Are you really not going to tell me? If you don't, I'm going to..." Bai Nuo took a deep breath, as if she was really trying to suppress some kind of emotion that was about to burst out. Even her voice was trembling slightly and breathy: "I really can't control myself."
For some reason, the man couldn't help but shudder when he heard the girl's last words. He gritted his teeth and said in a fierce and determined tone, "I won't tell you a single word. Give up, little girl from the Dragon Kingdom. I swore an oath before Jesus that I would never betray my country and my faith."
"Alright then, if you insist on it that way!"
Bai Nuo smiled and nodded, but the madness in her eyes could no longer be suppressed. She suddenly grabbed the man's clothes, and with a "rip," the man's black combat uniform was instantly torn apart.
