Ren stood at the door of Enid's house, looking at the closed door, speechless.
The two of them discussed it until the evening. Wren thought that he hadn't decided where to stay for the night yet, so he might as well spend one night here, or even have dinner, but Enid kicked him out.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ren sighed: Come on, let's find a place to eat first.
He randomly found a roadside shop and sat down. Before waiting for the boss to serve the food, Renn thought about Enid.
Anyone who is not too obtuse can see that Enid is hiding a secret from him, and even uses a lame excuse that will be revealed at the first glance. Wren suspects that she may know that she will not ask questions, so she is too lazy to bother.
Edited. In fact, Renn really didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. He was curious, but the two sides had the same position, and there was no need to know everything about the other party.
What he is actually thinking about right now is whether the person in the basement is Enid...
While he was lost in thought, Ren suddenly caught a glimpse of a stream of light flashing from the ground under his feet from the corner of his eye. It was a blue light, and it flashed away. When Ren lowered his head and took a closer look, there was nothing there.
.
Although it was only for a moment, and he was thinking about something at the time, Renn didn't think it was his hallucination.
That light is amazing.
Ren bowed down and looked under the dining table, but he could only see the white floor of the restaurant.
"Sir, your...Sir, did you drop something?"
At this moment, the restaurant owner came over with a plate. Seeing Ren bending down to get under the table, he thought he had dropped something.
Ren sat up straight, shook his head and smiled: "Oh, it's nothing, I accidentally dropped my phone."
Although the boss was surprised that this guest had an "I'm just lying to you" expression on his face, he didn't hesitate to ask more questions and put the dishes ordered by Ren on the table: "What you asked for is here."
"Okay, thank you."
While Ren brought the plate to him absentmindedly, he looked above his head and around him. There was no similar blue light source in the restaurant. Could it be reflected light from outside?
After all, it's getting dark, and some shops have already lit up their colorful lights.
He turned his head and looked outside the glass window, but unfortunately he found nothing. There was no such blue light nearby.
Maybe it's a passing light source...
Ren thought to himself, withdrew his gaze and prepared to focus on the food on the table.
Next to me, the boss finished serving the food, and when he turned to leave, he couldn't help but look at Renn twice: This guy got under the table again, and looked around in my store. What on earth is he doing? Eh-heh.
Hey, he's looking outside again. The food has obviously been served. What is he looking at?
Thinking this in his heart, the boss glanced out the window from time to time on the way back to the kitchen. He was about to enter the kitchen. He also looked back in the direction of Ren. This glance didn't matter. He was so frightened that he staggered and fell to the ground.
, in a panic, the arm trying to hold things up knocked over a dining table next to him, and the food was scattered all over the floor.
"what are you doing!"
Before the guests at that table could get angry, they saw the boss sitting on the ground with his eyes blank, pointing a trembling arm in the direction of Ren: "Executioner... Executioner!!"
As the boss screamed, Ren, who was biting his spoon, found everyone looking in his direction with a confused look on his face. Fear spread on their faces, and screams came one after another in an instant.
When there was also a commotion outside the window, Ren realized that the problem might not be with him. He looked out the window and his pupils suddenly froze.
Across the street, a hooded executioner rolled up a black cloth bag with one hand and dragged a person with the other, slowly walking past the restaurant where Ren was. The pedestrians around him were in chaos, but he was unhurried, as if
A walk after dinner.
Renn never expected that just after he and Enid had discussed how to find another way to capture the executioner from the intelligence provider, the other party would appear in front of him.
The executioner was carrying his torture bag and a person. Needless to say, he must be preparing to execute him again.
Ren didn't dare to delay, so he broke out of the window and chased after him. This was the perfect opportunity to catch the executioner, and maybe the previous plan wouldn't be necessary.
The executioner did not go far, as he usually does, appearing strangely near the place of execution he chose. The process of walking slowly towards the place of execution was not only like a ritual, but also to attract the audience and attract more attention.
This time he chose a place outside a large restaurant. There were a few small tables at the door with some snacks and packaging boxes, which looked like they were used to provide tastings.
Some people in the restaurant originally escaped when the executioner approached, and the rest were hiding under the table in the restaurant, shivering. No one expected that the executioner would choose the execution place here, and they inevitably became
Spectators.
The executioner dragged his prisoner to the small tasting tables, put the prisoner and the bags aside, and slowly wrapped the snacks on the table. When he bent down and wanted to put them on the ground, he suddenly stopped and took the
Dim Sum walked to the door of the restaurant and knocked on the door.
There was a scream in the restaurant, and everyone buried their heads under the table and shivered.
The executioner opened the door and gently placed the wrapped snacks on the table near the door. He chuckled and said, "It's better not to waste food."
The room was completely silent, and no one responded to this god of death.
The executioner was not affected. He pushed out the door, grabbed the "prisoner" on the ground and pressed it on the small table. He then took out an ax from the bag next to him and stood next to the "prisoner".
"Herb Guzman, stole antiquities, killed his companions, drank alcohol and hurt others..."
When Ren caught up, he saw the executioner who was reading out the crime of the prisoner.
"just......."
Fortunately for the executioner's sense of ritual, Renn rushed over without hesitation. However, as soon as he raised his leg, he felt a jerk under his feet, forcing him to stay where he was.
He lowered his head and saw that it was the same blue stream of light he had seen before, but now there were multiple streams intertwined into a network, locking his legs firmly to the ground.
Ren tried to pull hard, but it didn't move.
"...The evil deeds are repeated and the sins cannot be forgiven..."
At this time, the executioner has finished reading out the "prisoner's" charges and has entered the summary stage. If the delay continues, the "prisoner" will probably die.
In desperation, Renn began to use his hands and feet to try to break away from the light under his feet, but it was still useless. Just when he saw that the executioner had raised his axe, and was considering whether to put on the Allenville armor, he suddenly heard a cry from his chest.
Here comes a cry: "Use the bane star!"
It's Oates's voice!
Renn quickly summoned the bane star. Miraculously, when he raised his leg again, the blue light broke when it touched it. But at this time Renn didn't have time to think too much and rushed towards the executioner who chopped off the guillotine.
"boom!"
The ax blade struck the disaster star.
Renn broke through the light blocking the road like a torrent, blocking the executioner's ax at the last moment, and at the same time grabbed the executioner with his other hand.
The executioner raised his hand to resist, but immediately retracted his hand and quickly backed away. He seemed to be very taboo about Ren. He didn't even say a word, and he quickly evacuated without even having time to take away his torture kit.
Although Ren didn't know the reason, he had no reason to give up this great opportunity and quickly chased after him. The executioner was always hard to find. Every time he committed a crime in a brazen way, the security team had not surrounded him, but they always let him go.
No one knows how he escaped while being chased and intercepted by the security team.
"Is it by these blue lights?"
Ren thought as he chased, watching the light that tried to block him shatter under the power of the disaster star.
The two chased each other and fled, and soon they broke into an alleyway.
There was no one else around, and the executioner finally stopped and looked back at Ren. He stretched out a hand, as if he had touched something in the void, and began to disappear bit by bit from between his fingers.
No, it was not out of thin air. Ren opened his eyes wide. The scene in front of him changed. A grid torrent composed of the blue light he had seen before was running beside the executioner. The executioner's arm was stretched out.
In this torrent, the whole person is turning into the same light, and wants to go along with the torrent.
No wonder the security team has never been able to catch him!
Renn quickly laid it out, but in the end he missed it.
"Sooner or later it will be your turn."
Before disappearing, the executioner stared at Ren and said.
Looking at the empty alleyway again, Ren muttered to himself: "What the hell is this..."
Oates, who had just given the reminder, spoke again: "I'm afraid this city is scarier than we imagined. Renn, take a good look around you."
After hearing this, Ren looked around and couldn't see anything but the walls at first. But when he gradually focused his attention, he saw something that horrified him. Those blue lights covered him in all directions.
Ren rushed out of the alleyway. What he couldn't imagine was that the whole city was filled with such lights. They were either dense or sparse, trapping the entire Brica.
Even in the sky.
Ren followed those rays of light and looked into the sky. It was already dark and the moon was climbing into the sky.
"!!!"
Ren looked at the moon and suddenly shuddered. He had the feeling of being stared at during the day again. The difference was that the sun during the day felt like everything was being illuminated and seen through. But now the silver-white moon in the night sky was like
It's like the eyes of a poisonous snake staring coldly at its prey.
