Who hid My Corpse!

...

"What in this world is more natural than a child seeing their parents for the last time?"

...

Ina's hand clenched for a moment, but she quickly let go.

"So that's what it is," she murmured softly.

"What did you say?" the Bone Knight failed to catch her words.

Ina shook her head, indicating no intention to explain, and continued on her way, ready to leave.

But just then, another Bone Knight hurried over and whispered something in the ear of the Bone Knight who was there before.

The voice was not loud, but Ina heard it quite clearly.

"She is Gerard's daughter!"

Hearing this, Ina slowed her steps.

Because she knew what was going to happen next.

As expected, the Bone Knight who had been exceedingly warm to her a minute ago now spoke with a chill in his tone, "Miss Ina, please wait."

Ina turned around, looking calmly at the Bone Knight who had changed his demeanor.

She wasn't surprised by this change, for such things had happened ten years ago already.

"Are you sure you have nothing to tell us?" the Bone Knight asked.

"I don't know what to say to you."

"Please, tell us, was the man you fought earlier your adoptive father, Gerard?" The Bone Knight looked straight into Ina's eyes. "Please, answer my question."

Ina spoke indifferently, "I have already answered that question before."

"Please answer one more time, Miss Ina, and before you do, take a look around you." The Bone Knight gestured with open hands, his voice growing louder, "Look at what has become of this factory, see how many people have died because of this. You should know this a grave crime! Do you wish to shield such a criminal? Do you dare?!"

Still... the same old rhetoric.

Ina looked around and saw that all the Bone Knights had stopped their work and were looking at her with an icy gaze.

Just as they had ten years ago.

...

"Your father killed everyone!"

"He is the main culprit!"

"You're an accomplice!"

...

Endless pressure rolled in.

Those words, those gazes felt as if they could kill.

Ina had thought that, after ten years, she wouldn't be afraid of such things, but at that moment, she still felt somewhat breathless.

Back then, it was because she couldn't bear this pressure and wanted to prove that it all wasn't true that she resolutely joined the Devil's Army, vowing to find out the truth.

However…

The image of Gerard once again came to her mind.

"Do you understand? Your father is dead."

"It was you, who killed him."

"You murdered him when he was all alone."

...

The Bone Knight slowly advanced towards Ina, "There's still a chance, Miss Ina. If you can step forward and identify your adoptive father, everything can be redeemed. You won't be implicated, and we can officially raise the warrant level to have him arrested... This is your last chance, Miss Ina."

These words struck Ina's ears as a different voice.

"I haven't yet fully claimed Gerard's life."

"But the next time, it will be all of it."

...

"Swoosh"!

A sword mark appeared on the ground.

The Bone Knight stopped in his tracks because the sword mark was right in front of his feet, nearly shaving off his toes.

"That's close enough, I don't like people coming too near."

Ina calmly sheathed the Blazing Fire Sword.

The Bone Knight looked up at Ina and asked, "Is that your answer?"

"Yes," Ina replied, "That is my answer."
