What happened?
Everyone desperately pressed closer to the screen, striving to see what was happening inside.
...
"Why did you do this?"
In the light that had not yet dimmed, Liya watched, puzzled, as the old man who had come out and shot that man had just given the man a gun.
"I am here to atone for my sins."
The elderly man held a pale gold spear, its densely packed mechanisms retracting, while layers upon layers of runes were being restructured, and a faint wisp of smoke rose from the muzzle.
"Who are you?" Liya asked.
She didn't lower her guard just because the old man had attacked that man.
Could it be an attempt to relax her vigilance before launching a surprise attack?
The terror of the gunshot just now was such that even she wouldn't have been able to block it head-on.
The fact that the man's fate was still unknown at this moment was proof enough.
