In the color photo, a large number of antiques occupy the main area, in the edge corner of the picture. A silver pocket watch is lying on the table, a little old, but still well preserved. There is a large relief on the open watch cover.
Acanthus leaves.
There are also two vague letters engraved on the surface: NZ.
This pocket watch is Natsu's relic. The reason why Lisha gave this pocket watch to Cardiff was because she hoped that he could become a brave, powerful person like senior brother Natsu.
This watch has a very special meaning to Lisha.
On that rainy night during the battle of annihilation, Lisha left her last words when she was about to die. The last words were not to throw away her pocket watch.
This is something that symbolizes inheritance...
"I didn't expect to be here."
Ka Xiu frowned tightly, this gave him another reason to cut off the goods. Originally, the Sand Dust Organization wanted to transport so many antiques to Shirakawa City, Ka Xiu was a little excited, maybe he could absorb the energy of obsession in them.
.Now among this batch of antiques is Uncle Natsu's pocket watch, something that must be obtained.
"July 5th, tomorrow night, Beka Street..."
Card Xiu whispered softly, hoping that the disappearance of these people from the Black Fire Gang would not affect the actions of the Sand Dust Organization tomorrow. Otherwise, he might have to kill a lot in the Black Fire Gang to find what he wanted.
"I hope you don't seek death on your own."
Card Xiu stuffed the notebook into his arms, picked up the big red box next to him, and walked toward the city in the thick of night.
The scattered white and gray buildings with lattice lines perfectly reflect the endless black sky. A few scattered stars are shining brightly, and the half-covered sickle moon is blocked by the clouds. Only a thin layer of pale white frost is spread on the sky.
ground.
Black street lights were neatly arranged on both sides, and there were only a few drunken men staggering on the road. One or two wild cats were looking for food next to the trash can, and broken newspapers were blown away by the wind.
Cardiff took a deep breath of the cool evening breeze and walked towards No. 25 Citi Street, where he lived in Jessica's apartment.
"Um!?"
Card Xiu turned his head fiercely. He had just broken through at this moment, and his perception was very sharp. There seemed to be someone running in the alleyway on the right.
"Ding-deng-deng-deng-deng..."
The figure was revealed. He was a man wearing a jacket and an unconventional metal chain. He seemed to be a gangster?
"Are you coming for me?" Card Xiu could feel that the other party's attention seemed to be on him. He lowered his head and glanced at the heavy wooden suitcase in his right hand, which contained 150,000 federal coins.
"You..." The man just rushed to Ka Xiu.
"Bang!"
The man was kicked out, his butt rubbed rapidly against the tiles in the alleyway, and he rolled several times on the ground.
"Damn, it's close to Wright Street and gangsters dare to rob. The security situation in Shirakawa City has become worse and worse recently." Kashu spat, picked up the heavy suitcase and left quickly.
He doesn't want to kill people here, it's too close to the city. And he's been too murderous recently, killing too many people, so he needs to slow down.
The moonlight is dim, and it's quiet and dark in the gray-white alley.
A man curled up on the ground and coughed. He lay like that for a while and then stood up shakily, holding on to the wall.
"Damn it, why the hell didn't you listen to what I had to say!"
The man's appearance is not handsome, and can even be called a bit vulgar. He has thick hair, and the hair at the temples circles his ears. A string of shiny metal chains hangs around his neck.
He stretched out his hand to wipe away the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"He won't think of me as a gangster, right?" The man took one look at his clothes and immediately felt that there was a high probability that one day he would be mistaken for a gangster because of his taste in clothing!
This is simply a huge insult to Ugo the wolfdog!
He walked a few steps forward and came to the intersection, and found that no one was already on the avenue: "Damn!", so he had to go back the way he came.
In a certain house in the residential area of Wright Street.
"Ugo...you were kicked away by someone else?!"
A beautiful woman wearing a tight black dress looked over, not only with a teasing smile but also with strong surprise.
Ugo is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary gangster.
He is an elite member of their shadowless people organization and one of the best among the parasitized people. The wolf dog Ugo has defeated the shadow three times, and his body is more than twice that of an ordinary person. He is also proficient in various boxing and Sanda fighting techniques, and is a member of the combat team.
the backbone of.
As a result, he was kicked away like this? Although it was probably due to carelessness, the opponent was obviously also a master of fighting.
Such a master must be absorbed into the organization to prevent him from being chased and brutally killed by the minions of the Demon Shadow.
"You don't want to open a pot and pick up a pot." Ugo said with an annoyed look on his face: "Well... he is indeed very strong."
"Although it was a surprise attack, I'm afraid he is also a good fighter who has practiced fighting. He may not be as good as me in frontal combat, but he should still have 70% to 80% of my strength." Ugo said.
They come from an organization called the Shadowless People. In this era, technology is developing rapidly, everything is changing at a rapid pace, the economy is booming, and metropolises are gradually rising. But in every glamorous place, there are dirty and dark sewers.
The monsters in the sewers will look greedily at the bustling city through the gaps. Humans and fragile humans are their prey.
The Shadowless Man organization is a dark derivative between monsters and humans. All the members of the Shadowless Man organization are people who have been parasitized by demonic shadows. They live in an ignoble existence amidst the manifestations of demonic shadows again and again, looking for the unknown.
method of assimilation.
It is this desire to survive that brings them together.
All members of the Shadowless Man organization are shadow hosts. Not only do they have to face the threat from the shadow, but they also have to resist the minions of the shadow that smell the scent. So they set up an organization to help each other, resist the shadow and find ways to win over new companions.
.
The reason why they came to Shirakawa City this time was to follow the gathering of shadow minions. The Shadowless Man organization has special detection tools that can find the same partners in the crowd.
But unfortunately, when Ugo found Kaxiu and wanted to explain the situation, Kaxiu was kicked away by Kaxiu as a money-grabbing gangster.
In the room, Ugo sighed slowly: "I won't worry too much about this kick. I'll go find him again in a few days. I hope his degree of assimilation will not exceed 70%."
Yes, assimilation, a word that Cardiff had never heard before.
In Ugo's understanding, there is a huge difference between the rules of the shadow and Card Xiu's. First of all, the basic rules of the shadow have not changed, and it will still copy a person exactly like you.
What happens next is completely different.
Ugo understood that if he failed in the battle with the demon shadow, he would not be directly replaced, but would be assimilated to a part. The first time he lost to the demon shadow, he was assimilated by about 5%, and the amount of assimilation would increase every time he defeated the demon shadow.
It has increased. It takes about nine times for the demon shadow to completely assimilate and replace the host to defeat the host.
That is, there are a total of nine chances of failure.
Ka Xiu:???
1×9=9.
I can pass the game in one life and be awesome!
The difference between nine lives and one life seems to be hundreds of millions of points...
