"It's getting late, almost time. I guess our commander is already dead."
The leader chuckled, fiddling with the gun in his hand.
To save his own life, and to save his team's lives.
And for greater power...
Then this was the only way: eliminate Urla Silver Wolf, one of their former commander's most useful blades.
Let that person ascend to power, and elevate their status.
These were necessary sacrifices.
"Silver Wolf, rest in peace."
Chapter 10: Lin Nai: This is a Gamble!
Suddenly, someone sized up Lin Nai and Kiana, lost in thought for a few seconds.
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
There was a portrait on it.
He compared them carefully...
"Boss, it's not these two." The person shook his head. "These two aren't on the mission's list of names or portraits."
The group looked at each other in dismay.
Lin Nai and Kiana also looked at Bronya.
"They only told Bronya which floor it was, they didn't tell Bronya the specific location or the target's appearance."
Bronya said honestly, "Bronya's mission is to annihilate everyone on this floor."
They were all going to die anyway, so it didn't matter if she said anything or not.
Everyone on this floor was pretty much the same.
Just when she thought it was over, she suddenly saw someone walking out of another room.
That's why Bronya disguised herself as room service to attack Lin Nai.
Lin Nai: "..."
So they just barged in?
"Lin Nai, next time, shouldn't we just pick a normal room?"
"Makes sense."
Lin Nai agreed.
Who knew they'd run into something like this.
"What about these two?"
"Shoot them."
The leader's voice, devoid of emotion, rang out from under his helmet without hesitation.
"It doesn't matter if these two are on the list or not."
The leader had no idea he had just dug his own grave.
The last person who made a move was still hanging from a lamppost.
"Bronya, do you want to live?"
Lin Nai crossed his legs, completely ignoring the group, even disregarding them.
After a year of traveling.
And growing through constant battles with Honkai Beasts.
Lin Nai was no longer the child who would surrender if threatened by a Gatling gun.
What a joke.
He didn't travel for a year relying on Kiana fighting over there.
Kiana didn't kill as many Honkai Beasts as he did.
"..."
Bronya didn't speak, looking down at her hands.
Death...
She lived on the edge of a knife every day.
She had been trained into what was called a killing machine.
"This world is vast, do you really want to die like this? Die at the hands of a bunch of executioners?"
Lin Nai played with an apple. "Don't you want to change things? You don't like living on the edge of a knife, do you?"
"The world is big, how about going to see it?"
[Skill · Eloquence: 10% chance the target will be persuaded by you]
Speaking of which, this 10% is actually useless, right?
But…
Lin Nai: This is a gamble!
Lin Nai didn't know if they could persuade Bronya, so they could only pray for that 10% chance to trigger.
Ten percent.
That's a higher chance than pulling a gold item on the first try.
Of course, no one likes living on the edge.
Some people are numb.
Some people have no way out.
Some people are forced.
And Bronya was one of those who were forced.
Her mind wasn't completely set in stone yet, she hadn't been completely turned into a so-called killing machine, a death warrior.
If she were to die… Bronya actually didn't know.
There didn't seem to be anything in this world worth her lingering for.
But when Lin Nai asked, she suddenly felt… she didn't want to die like this.
To die for such a ridiculous reason…
That would be too absurd.
If she could change things… she also wished to change the current situation.
Lin Nai looked at Bronya's wavering gaze and smiled, "That's right, that's the look."
It triggered, the 10%.
Lin Nai didn't think they had persuaded the other party; they just felt the passive skill had been triggered.
They knew their own persuasive abilities well enough.
They could only say, they bet right.
"Hm?"
Bronya looked at them in confusion.
"Although there's no longing for the future in your eyes yet, it's much better than that numb look you had just now."
At least she seemed a little more normal.
Over there, perhaps there wasn't any brainwashing, they were simply teaching them to kill and obey orders.
So Bronya still had a chance to think for herself.
She was just numb.
"Kiana, are you ready?"
"Yeah, I've been ready for a long time!"
"Attack!!"
The two suddenly lunged, black and white blurs erupting in an instant.
The two closest to them were sent flying backward.
"Shoot! Shoot!!!"
The leader saw this and never expected their combat power to be so outrageous.
He immediately shouted.
Bullets flew out.
But they all stopped in mid-air.
Lin Nai extended a hand, and a blue flash froze all the flying bullets.
[Note: Gauss Stasis: Can be used to stop the attacks of missiles and bullets]
All the enemies were stunned on the spot.
Bronya seemed to understand why she hadn't killed the opponent back then.
That kind of power…
What was it?
Lin Nai: Gauss Power, kid!
The first to snap out of their daze was Urla Silver Wolf.
Bronya was certainly no pushover.
Anyone who could earn the title of Urla Silver Wolf in such a short time was clearly no weakling.
Coupled with her will to survive.
So Bronya casually picked up the fruit knife on the table and took one down with a flying knife.
Her attacks were ruthless and sharp.
Without a hint of hesitation.
People die when they are killed.
If you don't fight, you can't survive!
This was a truth she had understood in the concentration camp, in the training camp.
Or rather, she had been forced to understand it.
And now, they harbored hostility towards her, so she would kill them all.
That training camp.
It was even a nightmare, a terrifying existence for her.
And now.
Having witnessed Lin Nai's power.
Bronya knew she might have a chance to escape.
With everything clarified, Bronya's eyes flickered.
Her attacks became even more ferocious.
Every move was lethal.
