Chapter 573
At this time, Saifeier also came over. Her steps were a little heavy, and her eyes revealed a hint of regret and worry.
She first looked at the mayor, and seeing that he was fine, a look of relief appeared on her face.
Then, her eyes fell on the weapon in her hand that had been transformed by the dark energy. She frowned and thought about this tricky situation in her heart.
"It's a good thing that the mayor has woken up, but what should we do with the weapon?" Saifeier muttered softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
She gently stroked the hilt of the weapon, but the familiar touch now became strange and cold, as if she was holding a bomb that could explode at any time.
"Who told you to use it indiscriminately..." Aglaya shook his head helplessly and sighed slightly.
There was both reproach and concern in her eyes.
Aglaya knew that Safir sometimes acted too impulsively, but she also understood that Safir's starting point was good, but the situation this time was really dangerous.
"I don't know either, meow..." Saifei'er's voice trembled slightly like a frightened kitten, "Who would have thought that this energy would have a corrosive effect..." She raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes, and looked at Aglaya, as if seeking a little comfort and understanding.
"Although it is stored inside, as Feng Jin said, if it is not purified, there is a high possibility of problems..." Aglaya said earnestly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
The danger of this dark energy, once it gets out of control, will not only endanger Saifeier herself, but may also bring disaster to the entire team.
"But all along... no matter what kind of energy I absorb, there is no problem..." Saifei lowered his head, his hands nervously tugging at the corners of his clothes, like a child who had made a mistake.
She recalled her past experiences. After being absorbed by her weapons, those ordinary energies could be well controlled and utilized. There had never been an unexpected situation like this one.
This made her feel confused and guilty, and she didn't understand why this time was so different.
"What do you think will happen if I use this energy and release it into the human body during an assassination? Will it be the same situation as these residents?" Saifeier asked puzzledly.
"Sai Fei'er, how could you have such an idea?" Feng Jin's eyes widened, with a tone of blame and surprise, "This dark energy is so dangerous, we don't know how to control it, let alone use it for assassination."
At that moment, Xia also frowned and said seriously, "Saifier, don't do anything rash. This dark energy has corroded the residents and put them in pain and danger. Our goal is to eliminate its harm, not to use it to do bad things."
"No, no, you misunderstood. The assassination I mentioned is just to complete some tasks, and those mission targets are actually assigned to me by the boss." Saifeier waved her hands hastily and explained quickly. There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, and she wanted to make everyone understand what she meant quickly. "Those targets are actually heinous people." Her tone became a little indignant, and her mind emerged with all the evil deeds committed by the targets she had been tasked to deal with. Those pictures made her sense of justice even stronger.
"And I'm not actually talking about humans." Saifeier continued, clenching her fists as she spoke, "For example, gods." When she mentioned the gods, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
"I think my speed and strength are top-notch, meow~" She straightened her chest with a hint of pride on her face. After all, in countless previous operations, she had made a name for herself with her speed and strength and completed many seemingly impossible tasks. "But with my strength, even if I attack the fatal parts of gods, they will not die." Having said that, she sighed helplessly again, remembering that when she faced the God of Life, even though she tried her best and found the so-called vital points to attack, she still couldn't kill the opponent. That feeling of powerlessness still lingers in her heart.
"You all know about the God of Life. It is extremely difficult to kill it. Fortunately, we succeeded in the end." Saifeier looked at everyone, her eyes full of emotion, recalling the thrilling battle against the God of Life. Everyone worked together and won the victory after going through untold hardships. The difficulties in the process are still vivid in her mind. "And this guy just now, we clearly attacked his neck, and the toxins and energy penetrated into his body, but he was able to fight back." She frowned, her face full of confusion and annoyance, still in shock about the unexpected situation that occurred in the battle just now.
"This makes me think that my strength has regressed a lot." Saifei lowered her head in frustration and began to doubt her own abilities. The skills that she once took pride in seemed to become vulnerable when facing these powerful and difficult opponents.
"I have never failed in previous missions." Saifei raised her head, a hint of stubbornness rekindled in her eyes. She did not want to admit that she was incapable, and still hoped to find a way to break through the status quo and deal with those powerful and almost invincible beings.
"That's why I thought, if I can use this dark energy, maybe I can have a better chance of winning when facing those gods or difficult guys like that guy just now."
"But I also know this is very dangerous. It's just a casual thought and talk." She scratched her head, trying to make her idea sound less reckless. At the same time, she secretly warned herself in her heart that she should not easily try this dangerous and uncertain approach.
Saifei knew very well that if her boss heard what she said, it would be a disaster.
The boss is always extremely concerned about her safety and takes care of her almost like his own sister. Although he looks a little serious on weekdays, his concern is real.
If the boss knew that he had such a dangerous thought, he would have hit him on the head with a knife. The force of the knife would not be too strong, but it was enough to alert him. Then, a serious and worried warning sounded in his ears, telling him not to have such dangerous thoughts.
Before each mission, the boss would repeatedly remind her to put her own safety first and not to act rashly.
Saifeier recalled a time when, in order to complete a task faster, she planned to take a shortcut alone. Although the shortcut saved time, it was fraught with many unknown dangers.
But before she could take action, her boss saw through her thoughts. The boss did that at that time. He raised his hand and tapped her head gently, and said in a serious tone, "Saifei, don't always think about taking those crooked ways. Safety first, okay?" The scene seemed to be right in front of her eyes, vividly.
Therefore, Saifeier knew very well that she could not think about the dark energy casually anymore. Even if it was for the purpose of completing the mission better and dealing with those powerful and difficult enemies, she would never risk her own safety.
She secretly made up her mind that if she had any ideas in the future, she would discuss them with her friends first and not be so reckless anymore. After all, everyone had experienced so much together, all for the purpose of protecting this continent and the people around them.
Feng Jin walked forward, patted Sai Fei'er's shoulder gently, and said softly, "Sai Fei'er, we understand your feelings. It's right to want to defeat those evil gods and powerful enemies and make them pay for their evil deeds, but this dark energy is too evil. We haven't figured it out yet. If it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous. Let's think of other ways to improve our strength together."
"Well, let's think about how to purify the dark energy in this weapon. This is the most urgent task." Aglaya said.
Saifei stuck out her tongue and responded, "Yeah, I know. Let's find a solution right away."
"But then again, who is this man? Why did he attack the town? Is his target this town? Or is he trying to avenge the God of Life?" Saifeier frowned and muttered to herself in confusion. Her eyes were full of doubts. In her mind, she kept recalling the various scenes when the mysterious man appeared, trying to find some clues to answer the questions in her heart.
"In that case, why attack ordinary people in the town?" Saifeier continued to wonder. She really couldn't understand. Even if he had ulterior motives, those ordinary residents were unarmed and had nothing to do with the so-called disputes. Attacking them seemed to have no practical significance other than creating panic and innocent casualties.
