But Chloe hesitated and still didn't touch the key first.
Although I don’t know if this key has any warning function... but it’s better to take it away just in case.
The closer to victory, the more Chloe calmed down. She began to think about various possibilities and her own omissions and mistakes.
After a quiet review, it was confirmed that there were no loopholes.
Aiwass was really drunk, and there was nothing unusual about his various behaviors in his sleep.
So she boldly stepped forward, took out a dark red lipstick from her arms, and applied it lightly on herself.
The basic ability to adapt to the road is the resistance to poison and disease. The higher the level, the stronger it is. Because of this, they can swallow a large number of herbs without worrying about side effects, or eat anything visible in the wild.
creatures to replenish energy and nutrients. Many poisons are useless to themselves, but are useful to others. Through this cognitive difference, the ability to adapt to the path of assassination is very strong.
As a member of the "Eagle Eye" organization, she can know how to make various secret poisons and cursed poisons from the organization. In addition to applying this paste-like poison to the "Eagle Feather" flying knife, she also makes them.
It has become a lipstick that is easy to carry and hide, and can be triggered with a fatal kiss.
Of course, this actually doesn't have any special meaning. It's just a bad taste of hers... If I have to say it, a kiss is lighter than putting lipstick on the other person. But in fact, what she really wants to do is,
It's just a "kiss".
The kiss that steals another person's life quietly gives people a romantic and charming feeling. It's as if they are a legendary succubus or banshee. It has a very ritualistic feel.
But looking back now, Chloe thinks about it... maybe she has been leaning towards the path of love from the very beginning. The habits along the way have actually been strengthening her affinity for the path of love, but she has never noticed it.
It was only now that she truly realized how strong her desire was.
It's like she always dresses herself beautifully in clothes that are too revealing and conspicuous for Avalonians. This seems a bit too high-profile for an assassin.
She has always disguised herself as a believer in the path of beauty, but she may be more suitable for the path of love. Unfortunately, Iris' path of love is completely controlled by the Son of the Moon, and she may be able to leave the organization, but it is absolutely impossible
Become a child of the moon - otherwise you will be found and killed by your colleagues.
——But that’s okay.
Once I get this sacred weapon, I will have the confidence to negotiate with the organization.
After putting lipstick on herself, Chloe looked at Aiwass, who was sleeping and smelling of alcohol, and smiled.
...Looking carefully, although he looked quite irritating before, this young man still looks quite handsome now.
Then it wouldn't hurt me to kiss him.
She leaned forward and kissed Aiwass gently - but for some reason, her waist could only bend halfway.
She could already smell the faint smell of alcohol exhaled from the sleeping Aiwass's mouth, as well as the smell of the opposite sex exuding from his body. But her waist seemed to be anesthetized, maintaining this laborious movement, unable to move at all.
.
"Have you had enough trouble?"
A cold female voice sounded in her mind.
Judging from her voice and tone, she looks like a strong and proud mature woman.
——Not Aiwass’ personal maid.
Damn it, is there someone else ambushing me in this room?!
Chloe woke up in an instant, and subconsciously melted into the shadow, breaking free from the shackles of unknown origin, and sneaked into Aiwass's shadow.
But it’s different from every previous shadow sneak—
Or, it could be said that it was just like the last time she sneaked into Aiwass's shadow. A huge, extremely strong sense of fear seized her heart.
——But she had no time to escape.
The shadow that used to move freely was now like frozen ice, cold and solid.
It was as if she had thrown herself into a cage and frozen herself in ice.
And that cold voice mocked in her ear: "You, the little thief who stole the power of shadow, do trust this power..."
At this moment, Chloe only felt dizzy.
When she regained her sight, she saw Aiwass lying on the bed far away.
And my own perspective...
——It’s like being sealed into a mirror!
And the "other self" who looks almost exactly like him, except that his hair and eyes are pure black, is standing where he was just now, looking at Chloe in the mirror with a sneer.
She slowly "approached" the mirror and came closer - her "walking" was just a movement, but in fact she was floating over. When she walked, half of her feet would blend into the ground. And her
The body did not rise and fall due to walking, but exuded a faint black smoke.
In the mirror, Chloe's body was completely out of control. She was forced to make exactly the same movements as herself outside the mirror, getting closer to the "other self" that terrified her so much.
After her "other self" got closer, Chloe noticed that... her pupils and hair were not black, but nothingness that was constantly flowing. It was not the kind of black that could reflect light and make the hair visible, but "not black".
exist".
Her skin is so fair that it looks like a ghost, with an almost translucent texture... Only the clothes on her body are solid.
--Who are you?
Chloe wanted to speak, but couldn't even open her mouth. It was as if she had really turned into a reflection.
But the self outside the mirror seemed to hear his own voice, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile.
But at this time, the self who was sealed in the mirror did not make the same movements simultaneously.
Chloe in the mirror still had short caramel-colored curly hair. Visible fear appeared on her face, and her beautiful face was distorted.
"The followers of the Lord of Scales and Feathers, thieves who steal fish scales and bird feathers... At this point, no one even remembers the source of his power?"
She mocked, stretched out her slender white fingers, and gently slid them on Chloe's cheek.
Click——
Chloe seemed to hear a phantom sound. As if her soul was cut, unspeakable pain came - her mirror image was cut with a crack, but she couldn't shout a word.
Her mind went blank due to pain, but soon the word came to her heart——
——Who does your strength come from?
It's Shadow Demon!
...There is a shadow demon in Aiwass's shadow?!
How can it be!
But...if this is true...
In that moment, she understood everything.
Why can Aiwass see himself, why is he not afraid of himself at all, and why does he feel great fear when he enters Aiwass's shadow...
And she also understood that what Aiwass said at the banquet was just a trap and disguise to lure her in!
——What a priest, what a hero! They are all fake!
He is not a good person at all - there is absolutely no way that a demonologist who can make a contract with a high-level demon is so young!
This must be some extremely powerful demonologist who worked part-time on the Dusk Path, reincarnated into Aiwass’ body, and stole his identity and body!
At that moment, regret hit her heart.
If she had another chance, she would never provoke Aiwass!
But it's too late.
There is absolutely no way she can escape from the Shadow Demon!
The power to adapt to the path comes from imitating others. Whether it is poison, precognition, invisibility, regeneration or other abilities, they all come from imitating other life in nature. And her shadow sneaking skills are the predecessors of the Hawkeye organization, through
An ability built after imitating a demon like "Shadow Demon".
However, it was a pirated copy after all. After all, they could not really capture a shadow demon and copy its talent. This was just a weakened version of the ability built through observation and imagination.
Only now did she know that the Shadow Demon's control of the "shadow" actually included mirror images!
Rather than saying that this is how to catch her, it is better to say that the Shadow Demon has already caught her, and then specially showed her how the real Shadow Demon hunts...
"I don't mind if you copy its talent from one of my kind. But the way you use it is too ugly. It's like a toad is singing and a donkey is dancing. I feel like there is an elephant running thumping above my head.
Went over...it was so noisy."
Shadow Demon's voice was full of malice, and Chloe realized more and more clearly that Shadow Demon's voice was gradually getting closer to her own - from the arrogant and mature female voice to her honey-like voice.
Charming voice.
"And, more importantly - the master's shadow, that is my territory."
Her voice was soft but cold, and her slender fingers passed through the mirror and held the neck of the person in the mirror: "You have crossed the line, little thief.
"If it weren't for the kindness of the master, I would have torn you into pieces at that time. Fortunately, Father Snake protected you and you still dared to come back.
"You are even stupid enough to want to kill my master - who do you think you are? So weak, yet so confident..."
Chloe was in agony in the mirror, her whole body was being corroded by shadows. Blood gradually seeped out from the edge of the floor-length mirror, as if it was not a solid mirror, but an iron maiden that was gradually closing.
Before Chloe lost consciousness, Shadow Demon's voice sounded in her heart: "If you copy mine, then I will copy yours. It just so happens that I still lack a set of skins suitable for human aesthetics.
"Since you tried to steal the shadow...then your throat and face belong to me now.
"In human terms, this should be called debt settlement."
As he spoke, Shadow Demon touched the mirror with his finger and gave her a big cross: "You are insolvent now, Miss."
In an instant, Chloe's soul, which was already full of cracks, was completely torn apart by Shadow Demon's nails.
Until the next day, when Aiwass woke up in a daze, he was not awakened by the Shadow Demon.
This was what he had agreed with Shadow Demon before, to kill the assassin quietly. There was no need to wake him up unless there was anything special.
This also shows his trust in Shadow Demon.
"How was it last night?"
The first time he woke up, he asked in his heart: "What were her last words?"
Aiwass wasn't worried about Shadow Demon letting her go.
Because when he woke up, the pop-up window had already appeared in front of him:
[Kill the fourth-level transcendent and gain 120 free experience]
It's about a hundred lower than the Demon with Abnormal Limbs, but the experience he brought to the door is enough. Counting the experience that Aiwass didn't use before, he already has 364 free experience points. In this way, he can advance to the Demon at the beginning of the month.
After becoming a scholar, Aiwass can continue to advance at the beginning of next month—it only takes two months to climb directly to the third level!
Now what restricts Aiwass is the cooldown time of the ritual. Of course, in order to prevent the experience from overflowing, it is better to read the book normally and use free experience to replenish the level in the end.
Save whatever you can!
Aiwass was just a little worried - the Shadow Demon wouldn't tear everything on her body to pieces and corrode it, right?
"I remember I told you to keep all the equipment she could have on her... Where did you put them?"
He asked: "Also, the floor is not dirty, right?"
"She had no last words, and she didn't say a word until her death. She just regretted offending you."
And Shadow Demon was different from yesterday. His voice was more human than yesterday. He heard in his heart: "The spoils are on the sofa next to me. They are all there. Master... As for her blood, I also ate it."
.It won’t leave any trace.”
Aiwass looked over - it was true.
The clothes were folded neatly, orderly, and placed in categories. It was as if they had taken them off and put them there. They were very complete and not damaged at all.
"...Lily has been here?"
Aiwass's first reaction was, had Lily come over to set it up?
But he soon realized that he had reminded Lily last night not to call him today. She would not enter his room without permission.
This shadow demon...is quite organized?
