Taking the steam train, Xu Le visited Zion's nightclub again. This time he was alone. Xu Le took a deep breath through his nose.
"Ah, even the air is pink! Although there is a smell of urine in the alley, these mercenaries who defecate everywhere are really unhygienic."
Xu Le sighed with emotion and went to the city that never sleeps again.
During these days, the pony-tailed girl has always been lingering in Xu Le's mind. The tone here is so right.
Xu Le felt that if he were here, he would be able to test the efficacy of the anima shielding device very well.
"I'm doing business, right."
Entering the city that never sleeps, Xu Le glanced around.
"What a pity, the ponytail girl is not here...but it doesn't matter, today it's the bunny girl!"
A girl carrying a drink, wearing a formal dress on her upper body and only a rabbit tail on her lower body, slowly walked towards Xu Le.
Although it's not the same one as last time, it has a different style.
"Do you like it, sir?"
"Yeah, not bad."
"How about a drink?"
"Forehead."
Xu Le hesitated for a moment. First of all, he doesn't drink. Then the juice here seems to be spiked, so it must not be drinkable, so...
"Is there any boiled water?"
Bunny Girl:?
Is this person sick? Even if he doesn’t drink here, he doesn’t even want to order a drink? He actually wants to drink boiled water?
"Sorry sir, I don't have boiled water here."
When Xu Le heard what she said, he smiled and waved his hands.
"It's okay, it's okay. I brought it myself. I was too embarrassed to take it out to drink. I wanted to buy it from you. Since you don't have it here, I can only drink my own."
As he spoke, Xu Le took out his big teacup, found a seat and sat down.
The bunny girl's mouth twitched, she ignored Xu Le and turned around to leave.
Xu Le was a little dissatisfied with her attitude. Although I didn't spend money, how could I spend money if you didn't flirt with me?
Even if he doesn't drink, he can still buy some fruit platters and play games or something?
She didn't even rub her rabbit's tail. Her service attitude was really bad.
"If another customer with a bad temper comes here, they will most likely complain against you."
"You seem quite dissatisfied. Do you want me to bring you another young lady?"
Xu Le was slightly startled by the sudden sound. He turned his head and looked over, only to find that Ai Li had already sat down next to him.
"What a coincidence, Ms. Alley."
At this time, Alley was wearing a black skirt and ripped black stockings. This outfit was obviously more in line with the environment here.
Especially her long legs wearing ripped stockings. They were thin, long, and had holes. They were really good, and Xu Le also took a few more glances.
Ai Li ignored Xu Le's gaze, picked up a glass of wine, took a sip and asked:
"I asked you several times before about deciphering the tomb, but you always declined. Are you very busy recently?"
"I'm currently doing a research project with Warlock Levi, and I'm really too busy."
Is Xu Le busy? He is busy with a hammer, and the main part of the research was done by Levis.
During this time, he only did a few things, including giving money, practicing, and petting cats.
But at this time, you have to say you are busy even if you are not busy, otherwise, Alley will most likely make him busy.
"But the research work on Joshua's Tomb has now reached a bottleneck period. Except for you, the scholars sent there have not made any obvious gains.
Director Zhang Nuoan is about to lose his patience, you have to give me an accurate message when you go there again, right?"
Ai Li's tone was very calm and he did not bring any personal emotions into what he said. Xu Le also nodded after hearing this.
Xu Le pondered for a moment, he had indeed spent almost all his money.
It's time to go to the tomb mission to make another fortune. After all, the money comes so easily.
"Let's do it, five days. I will definitely go to Joshua's Tomb with you in five days."
"good."
After Xu Le gave a definite answer, Alley stood up and seemed to be leaving.
This made Xu Le feel a little strange. Didn't this woman come here just to follow him?
"Why is Ms. Alley here?"
"I have other tasks."
Alley took out a box-like device, looked around, and left his seat.
Xu Le was a little surprised by this rhetoric.
Her position must be quite high-level, right? What mission brought her here dressed like this?
Xu Le didn't think it through, but after he opened Gu Yin Duo's vision and felt the violent fluctuations of lust energy here, he had a vague guess in his heart.
"Is it a succubus? There is no succubus now, and there is no time indication.
But if her purpose is really to be a succubus, then it seems that the succubus thing here has not made a big fuss before, which seems to be a clear explanation.
But how does she know that succubi will be refreshed here, and is the appearance of succubi cyclical?"
Xu Le calculated the time and found that it had been three weeks since he last came here, which was 21 days.
Xu Le memorized this number and confirmed that it was actually very simple. Just do it again in 21 days.
He really wasn't looking for an excuse to come to the red light district, he was just looking to see if there were any succubi and see if he could become a good citizen for the second time.
When Xu Le was drinking water from the tea cup, the bunny girl came over, touched Alley's cup and left.
Xu Le saw clearly that she drugged Alley's wine in front of her.
Although her technique is fast, Xu Le's eyes are also very good.
Is this place so blatant?
At this moment, Xu Le received the prompt:
[The anima energy concentration in this area is extremely high, and the sum of desire anima energy exceeds level 2 alert. Anima energy is sublimating, and a level 3 succubus will be generated in 10 minutes. 】
"Sure enough, it's here!"
Not long after, Ai Li walked around and came back, sat next to Xu Le again, picked up his own glass and was about to drink.
Xu Le quickly raised his hand to stop him. No matter what, he couldn't ignore the matter of drugging.
"Hey, Ms. Alley, in a place like a nightclub, it's best not to drink the drinks that are out of your sight."
Ai Li paused and nodded to Xu Le.
"Thanks for reminding."
Then she drank anyway, Xu Le frowned, is this person so stubborn?
"Your drink..."
"I know that this glass of wine has been drugged many times."
"You know? Why do you drink now that you know?"
"Yes, it's okay."
"Is it okay that this wine was drugged? It might be contraband or something like spring yao."
"It really doesn't matter. I have a high resistance to poison. Unless it is a warlock-level poison, it will be difficult to harm me."
"Okay." Xu Le was speechless. Since others have ways to deal with it, there is no need for him to be sentimental.
Seemingly sensing that Xu Le was reminding him with good intentions, Ai Li felt that he should explain it to Xu Le in more detail.
After thinking about the situation and tasks here, she slowly said:
"The situation here is more complicated than you think. It is also one of my jobs to quickly detect whether there are any excessive ingredients in these drinks.
We need to maintain order here and not let people here go too crazy and have some bad consequences."
Ai Li's words made Xu Le frown slightly. He was not familiar enough with other fields.
But isn't Alley's rhetoric about controlling the generation of mental energy? This is indeed an area subject to some special control.
"You are deliberately releasing the anima here, and then keeping the anima here at a more controllable stage. Is that so?"
Ai Li also didn't expect that Xu Le could guess the core of this with just two sentences.
After she pondered for a moment, she nodded.
"Overall, there is nothing wrong with it."
Bang bang bang!
Xu Le slowly clapped his hands and praised:
"You indulged the emergence of anima and produced special anima weirdness. It should be necessary to conduct some kind of taboo research, right?
Find the rules and prepare in advance, so that even if something weird happens, you will be there as soon as possible.
The brave and fearless law enforcer pleads for the people's orders and kills the weird without fear of danger, and is cheered by the people. After all, it is these people who indulge in their own desires to produce the weird.
After cleaning up the anima weirdness, you obtained research materials, won the applause and support of the people, and were able to reconcile many of the disobedient mercenaries of Tianrui Lifeng.
Eat one fish and eat three, you'll win, it's wonderful!"
Xu Le's words were extremely ironic, and Ai Li also knew this was true, so she did not defend herself.
"You're right, that's why I'm here. If I show up in time, I can avoid casualties."
"It's quite glorious."
"I am a soldier, and it is my duty to obey orders. You yourself said that the intensity of the black tide is getting stronger and stronger, and we have no choice."
If Ai Li had a few words of quarrel with Xu Le, Xu Le might feel better, but this kind of non-arrogant tone was the most frustrating.
Even he himself felt that this kind of behavior...not to mention correct, there was really no way to avoid it.
"Yes, if there are no taboos in research, how can we fight against weirdness?"
Ai Li stood up again, preparing for a new round of patrol, but at this time Xu Le stood up and said:
"I'll go with you."
"You? I don't have time to protect you during the battle."
"I'll show you the way."
Under Ai Li's doubtful eyes, Xu Le took her to an alley.
This is where the anima can break through level 2. He doesn't know if succubi always like to appear in such dark and dirty places, but he is still very curious about how succubi appear.
"How did you know you were here?"
Xu Le drew an ancient Yinduo card and said:
"I am a Red Moon Warlock, and divination is my ability."
Seeing the Guyinduo card, Ai Li nodded. She still knew the abilities of the Red Moon Warlock.
"Since you figured out that your appearance is here, you should keep your distance. Warlocks should pay attention to their own safety. Please step back."
Ai Li has good intentions, but Xu Le still wants to be the succubus!
I don’t know how long it will take for such a good opportunity to come again.
"Since I dare to come over here, I naturally have a way to protect myself. Besides persuading me to go back, you actually have another option."
"What choice?"
"Just like in the tomb, choose to believe me."
Ai Li's mouth moved, but in the end he did not continue to dissuade Xu Le.
She had always wanted to know how Xu Le killed the succubus alone, but now she didn't seem to think so anymore.
"There are many plainclothes agents here, and they are all outside the alley. It is best for a warlock not to expose too many of his abilities in public."
Xu Le was stunned for a moment after hearing Ai Li's words, but this time he nodded:
"That makes sense, I'll just take a look and won't do anything."
"OK."
The two of them walked towards the alley one behind the other.
When I entered the alley, I was actually followed by a few people in strange clothes and with tattoos and paint on their faces.
Xu Le hesitated:
"these people?"
"They are my colleagues."
Xu Le glanced at Ai Li's ripped stockings and nodded seriously:
"Your professionalism has been recognized by me."
"..."
Ai Li ignored Xu Le's teasing, her eyes were already focused on the front.
The men and women deep in the alley are doing things that everyone knows.
At this distance, they should have been aware of Xu Le's arrival, but they looked completely indifferent and continued to do pleasant things.
Of course, Xu Le was also very happy to see it.
I used to watch movies, but this time I was actually doing it live, so of course it was different.
For a theoretical emperor like him, practical experience is of course the most important.
[The anima energy concentration in this area is extremely high, and the sum of the desire anima energy exceeds the level 2 alert. The anima energy is sublimating, and a level 3 succubus will be generated in 15 seconds. 】
I can only watch it for 15 seconds, hey!
Ai Li, who was scanning the surroundings to confirm the surrounding environment, saw Xu Le staring at the man and woman, and finally couldn't help it:
"Look at it very carefully!"
"coming soon."
"What?"
Beside a man and a woman, the air fluctuated, just like when Yi Xiaoya opened the portal.
But it's more rounded than Yi Xiaoya's door. If you want to describe it in terms of feel, it's probably like polished or unpolished wood.
One is sharp and prickly, the other is smooth.
Stripes like spider webs appeared in the air, and a half-human, half-spider monster crawled out of this layer of spider webs.
The whole body is covered with cobwebs and mucus. Apart from the very tempting smell, there is really no beauty at all.
[Happy Witch, Level 3 Succubus, Ancient Sound Defiler, Rose.]
She... should be used to describe it at this time, it is not as beautiful as Xu Le saw the succubus before.
The hind legs and belly are covered with insect hair, the upper body is full of wrinkles, and the belly is flat.
Yue!
Ugliness and deformity are almost synonymous with this pleasure witch.
However, this ugly state did not last long. The succubus coming out of the spider silk portal soon began to change its form.
The mucus and spider silk on its body are quickly absorbed by the hole in its butt.
Then in a very short time, it became her.
He still had a breathtaking figure and appearance, but at this time Xu Le was no longer interested.
"Okay, I probably know what I want to know. I'll leave it to you."
At this time, the succubus, who had completed the transformation, also noticed something was wrong behind her, and she turned to look behind her.
Alley's high heels had penetrated the darkness and kicked her directly on the head.
Poof!
The sharp heel directly pierced the succubus' forehead. The succubus screamed and knelt on the ground, releasing a burst of smoke and suddenly distanced itself from Alley.
Although the succubus was very fast, Ai Li was even faster. She rushed directly towards Guimu and stretched out her hand to grab it. Downy hair gradually grew on her arms with clearly visible muscle fibers.
Xu Le was convinced that he had seen it correctly. It was indeed downy and white, and it should be some kind of animal.
And she has obvious ancient sound energy.
Is it a fruit?
White light appeared in Ai Li's palm, and she actually directly grabbed the succubus out of the ghost mist state.
"net!"
Following Alley's order, several plainclothes men in unique costumes took out a large-headed pistol.
The four of them fired in succession, and layers of black nets enveloped the succubus.
After the succubus was trapped by this layer of black net, she began to struggle wildly. Her body became atomized again, but she could not break free from these nets each time.
Soon, the barbs on the black web began to pierce the succubus' body, and the succubus kept making weird sounds.
The function of this kind of cry is very obvious, it is aphrodisiac.
For example, Xu Le is stiff at this moment!
But it doesn't matter. Although he didn't use the Soul Tree to absorb anima, he had already prepared an anima shielding device.
This time I came here just to test this, and it can be used now.
Desires and impulses were swept away, and Xu Le felt that the anima absorbed by the leaves was flowing into the tree of soul through some indescribable channel.
The loss was huge, and the loss rate of this thing in his hand was more than 50%. I wonder if the effect of anima absorption will continue to be weakened as the distance increases.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it is usable, even if it is only 10%, 5%, or even 1%, as long as his anima shielding device emits enough.
Then it's only a matter of time before he takes off.
Turning his eyes back to the battle, after the succubus fluttered for a while, Alley hit the succubus in the face with his knee.
Then he held down the succubus' head and knocked him to the ground.
She is a level 4 warrior, and she is blessed with the power of some kind of ancient Yinduo biological fruit. At this time, in a direct confrontation of power, she has suppressed the level 3 succubus.
This is naturally different from Xu Ting's previous performance.
After knocking down the succubus, Alley immediately gave the order.
"kill."
Four plainclothes men coldly took out a weapon similar to a steel fork and held the succubus's hands and legs.
Then, Alley's fingers moved to the succubus's spine.
Click!
Her fingertips actually penetrated the succubus' skin and detached a section of its spine.
Then he took out a knife, made a cut on the succubus's neck, and started bleeding.
The succubus's throat was broken and she could no longer make a sound. The continuous blood loss also gradually began to drain her strength.
The extent of her struggle became smaller and smaller. Finally, Alley added another finger and completely broke the succubus's neck bone, confirming its death.
"I thought... your purpose was to arrest."
Xu Le had seen that Alley had some reservations during the battle.
Especially the first wave of sneak attacks. Based on Alley's combat prowess, he should be able to kill the succubus instantly.
Then there was a net and a fork. He really thought he was being arrested, but he didn't expect to be killed in the end.
"Although living succubi are more valuable, they also bring extremely high risks. We cannot afford the consequences of secondary distortion."
"That is to say, you have caught live animals before, and then something happened, right?"
