The night was already dark, and sleepiness came over Bologna's heart, like transporting goods. Bologg picked up Palmer and dragged the drunken man out of the Undead Club.
This kind of thing has happened many times. Bologg was very skilled. There was a humming sound on his shoulder. Bologg adjusted his position to prevent him from spitting out Palmer. On the one hand, Bologg felt that this was the case.
It's disgusting, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to affect the appearance of the city.
What Boluogo didn't notice was that in the darkness not far away, a pair of cold eyes were staring at him. When he saw the two people's figures drifting away on the lonely street and disappearing completely, he moved away.
His eyes turned to the heavy door that sealed the Undead Club.
"I haven't been here for a while."
He sighed softly, as if some memories were recalled, and he smiled inexplicably.
Just as he was about to continue walking, there was some strange movement in the alley, like a group of rats hurriedly crawling past. He turned his head and looked at the shadow. The next moment, the astronauts squirmed and collapsed, turning into countless dark fish schools and blending into the shadow.
, Silent Submarine.
Suddenly, an icy coldness invaded reality with the arrival of the fish. The rats screamed in terror. They fled in all directions, making a splashing sound. Venomous insects and snakes also escaped from their caves, driven by their instincts.
, I just want to leave this weird place as soon as possible.
Schools of fish swarmed towards him. In his field of vision, a scarlet figure gradually became clearer. At this time, the other party also noticed his approach. The scarlet figure disintegrated and turned into a dark red light spot, which dissipated with the wind.
surge.
The school of fish hovered where the scarlet shadow disappeared. They gathered together and formed an abrupt shadow on the ground. Then the shadow began to squirm and boil. Amidst the screams of countless bubbles bursting, a tall and bloated figure slowly appeared.
Emerging slowly from the shadows.
No...it was no longer a shadow, but a ball of boiling tar.
He stood up straight with all his strength. His gray space suit was covered with tar. They slowly flowed and fell, and countless dark spider threads were hung on his body.
The astronaut pulled his body hard, breaking all the lines. The crawling tar under his feet gradually subsided, the ground became hard again, and the shadows were just shadows.
"I see you." The astronaut's voice was filled with joy.
The darkness did not respond.
There was an unsettling atmosphere in the dark alley, so silent that it seemed as if time had frozen here. Although no one appeared, the shadows cast by the light on the wall seemed strange and unusual.
The moment the astronaut turned around, a scarlet shadow leaped out from the wall, slender and twisted, like a ghost trapped in the shadow.
The scarlet shadow clung to the wall and rushed towards the other end of the alley, like a target that could never be pursued. It changed its shape, sometimes like a black cloud hanging in the sky, sometimes like a stretched out
The wolf claws coming, and the strange lines in the dancing shadows filled the entire alley with a profound illusion.
The astronaut gently raised his hand, and the surrounding shadows seemed to have taken on physical form. Amidst the boiling screams, the filthy tar turned into a swarm of pitch-black fish, chasing the scarlet shadow.
Two shadows, one after another, crossed the street and passed through the alley. They rushed at high speed under the shadow of the street lamp. The school of fish quickly collapsed at the fork in the road. Small schools of fish surrounded and suppressed from all directions. The hunting net quickly retracted.
Finally, the Scarlet Shadow was blocked in a corner.
The scarlet shadow squirmed violently, like a ball of floating blood. The blood collapsed, and a tired face appeared.
"who!"
Olivia stood up tiredly and raised the dagger in her hand. Her hair fell messily, covering most of her face.
The fish swam around her silently, as if they were teasing her, clearly keeping a safe distance, but rushing in from time to time, violating Olivia's fragile sense of security.
Olivia tried her best to stay calm and restrained, and held the dagger vigilantly, the cold edge flowing with the glow of ether.
"I'm not your enemy, Olivia."
The murky sound of Mo Lake came from the fish school, and then the fish speeded up their swimming. They surrounded Olivia like a phantom, and their sharp whistles echoed in her ears.
The pitch gradually increased, and the speed of the fish schools became faster and faster, until the darkness was connected together, like a black storm that completely enveloped Olivia, leaving no light.
Olivia only felt that countless ghosts were howling towards her, and her hearing was about to be crushed. In severe pain, she stretched out her hand with difficulty, trying to break away from the darkness.
The dagger stabbed hard, like a slash on a high-speed rotating surface. The high-frequency vibrations made Olivia's arms numb. During the tremor, the dagger's edge began to burn red, and countless dazzling sparks burst out.
.
A strange sense of distortion descended as darkness enveloped her, and Olivia felt as if her body was being pulled away from another dimension, as if traveling through a winding path.
Just when Olivia was about to lose her hold and was completely swept away by the fish, there was a soft bang, the stirring fish collapsed, the darkness also dispersed one after another, and the precious light shone again, stinging Olivia
Via almost couldn't open her eyes.
"Ha ha……"
Olivia gasped in pain, her body lost strength and she half-knelt on the ground.
Sweat fell in large drops, and after the panic dissipated, she immediately became nervous and raised her dagger again to watch her surroundings, but there was nothing in this empty fork in the road.
She is the only one.
Olivia was a little confused for a moment. If it weren't for the chill that still lingered in her heart, she even felt that everything just now was just an illusion.
Just when she was confused, a rapid barking came from the corner of the street. Olivia knew that she had no time. Dark red lines crawled on her skin, and then the figure collapsed and disappeared into a scarlet shadow.
In the darkness, when the footsteps approached, there was nothing here.
The barking of the approaching dogs became clearer, and a slightly ferocious hound rushed out first. Its body was several times larger than that of a normal hound. It was like a giant wolf, with red hair like iron needles sticking up, and it was terrifying.
The breath spreads everywhere.
It sniffed the position where Olivia was just now, gasped in its throat, opened its mouth and was filled with fangs.
"Quiet, Xiaohong."
The sound came from behind the hound. It immediately stopped panting, raised its ears, and sat down obediently.
Ona came over, rubbed the hound's head vigorously, and praised, "Xiaohong is so good."
The ferocious hound immediately became stunned, stuck out its tongue, and rubbed Ona's hand.
Ona walked in front of the hound, squatted down and examined the ground carefully, when another voice sounded.
"What did it find?"
Kemp wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained from the bottom of his heart. This hound could really run. He had rushed so far in one breath. If he wasn't a Sublime Master, he might not be able to catch up with it.
"What else can be found? It's naturally the traces of the Night Clan."
After checking around, Ona scratched the hound's chin, with a glint in her eyes, "Xiaohong said she smelled the scent of the Night Clan here, and the smell was very fresh. She was here just now, but she suddenly disappeared again.
.”
"Like this again?"
Kemp complained in a low voice. This was almost always the case during this period of hunting, with the hounds finding traces but not gaining anything.
Ona analyzed, "As a hunter, don't be anxious. At least we can infer that the Night Clan has some kind of displacement ability, and this displacement may be close to the power of the winding path, otherwise her movement will at least leave behind
Smell trails, rather than individual locations scattered in the city.”
"Alright alright."
Kemp waved his hand, feeling helpless, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the other party was an expert in tracking.
"What should we do next?" Kemp asked.
"What else can we do? Keep chasing her," Ona said rationally. "Sooner or later she will be unable to run."
Ona suddenly straightened up, whistled loudly, and shouted.
"Come on, dogs!"
The next moment, the hounds rushed out of the street, like a red phantom, searching for breath like a carpet. More complex footsteps sounded, and one after another hounds rushed out of the alley corners. They formed a group, and then suddenly dispersed.
, the barking of dogs sounded one after another under the night, and deeper into the night, falcons flew silently past the buildings.
"Those in the sixth group, move faster." Ona urged.
"I know I know."
Kemp responded helplessly and quickly followed Ona into the street. He hated working overtime late at night, and even more hated working with a group of unfamiliar people.
"The fifth group, Heart Hunting Bow."
Kemp was muttering in his heart, this is the action group that Ona belongs to. Like the eighth group, the disaster warning team, the fifth group also has little sense of presence in the Bureau of Order, but this thin sense of presence is not because of their functions.
Special, but everyone in this action team is a little... different.
"Just like the hunters of the old days, responsible for tracking and hunting..."
Kemp continued to recall the information related to the fifth group, which is about their functions. It can be said that the fifth group is a bounty hunter per capita, wandering outside the Bureau of Order, hunting those wanted enemies.
If that's all, the fifth group looks pretty normal. Other action groups will also accept some hunting missions when necessary. It's no big deal.
What really makes the fifth group look very different is that they have little interest in strengthening their own alchemical matrix. More often, they will cultivate and raise alchemical creatures to fight for them.
A group of hunters and animal trainers.
Just as Kemp was thinking this, there was a flapping sound of wings, and he felt his shoulders sink, and he turned his head and a green parrot landed on it.
"Hello!"
The parrot made a fuss at Kemp, but fortunately Kemp was used to it and didn't get rid of this guy immediately.
"Hello, Little Green." Ona turned around and greeted the parrot.
Kemp couldn't help but ask, "Xiaolu, are your names so casual?"
"I think it's fine. It's concise and clear. Are there any problems?" Ona said again, "Sometimes names that are too long can be troublesome."
"for example?"
"For example, if you ask it to bite the enemy, the enemy may have run away before you even finished calling your name."
Ona continued, "There is indeed such a case. One of our team members named his hound Respidios Reminiano..."
The voice paused, and Ona said again, "No, it seems to be called Corey..."
"Okay, stop reading!" Kemp interrupted quickly.
"Anyway, during an operation, the enemy ran away when he called out his name as 'Rimi'. Since then, our action team has had a rule that when naming our partners, the name cannot exceed a certain length."
Kemp complained, "That's crazy!"
…
The scarlet shadow quickly disappeared from his field of vision. The school of fish returned from the shadow and once again lurked in the shadow under the astronaut. The astronaut sighed helplessly. He is a focused person and does not like to be distracted when doing things.
People interrupt.
The astronaut slowly lowered his arms and turned to look at the person who interrupted him.
"Leviathan."
He directly called the astronaut's real name, "You shouldn't be here."
A weird laughter came from under the golden mask, and the mirror reflected the ridiculous posture of the visitor, a complete set of doll cats.
The astronaut asked directly, "Did you just get off work from the amusement park? Sai Zong."
"What are you doing here?" Sai Zong's words were full of vigilance and threats.
"I……"
The astronaut was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm here for you."
The school of fish reappeared, and they swam rapidly around the astronauts and Sai Zong until they formed a dark storm that blocked all light.
Collapse.
When the school of fish dispersed and the light returned, the astronaut returned to the gate of the Undead Club again, only this time there was a Sai Zong beside him.
"To be precise, I'm here for Samuel."
The astronaut looked at the isolated door, his tone full of nostalgia, as if he was missing his blood brother.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
This time, Sai Zong's voice was extremely cold. It seemed that if the astronauts could not give him a satisfactory answer, Sai Zong would not mind fighting here.
The astronaut said, "Compared to this, aren't you going to invite me in for a sit-down?"
"Are you sure?" Sai Zong thought he heard a joke, "That's my...our land."
"How about just taking it as a sign of friendly negotiation?"
The astronaut said, raising his hands as if surrendering.
"I want to talk to you and Samuel about the upcoming dispute..."
"We are not interested in strife!"
Sai Zong angrily interrupted the astronaut's words. In an instant, his body seemed to be on fire, and the doll costume on his body turned into ashes and dispersed, revealing the horrific body covered with scars and burns.
"Since fighting doesn't work, how about another one?"
