Under the night, two figures rushed into the alley quickly, followed by a series of metal collision sounds.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang..."
"Puff!"
Dinah stood there with a soft sword in her hand, her face cold and solemn, a trace of blood slowly slid down the blade to the ground.
She looked at the figure in front of her and said coldly:
"Are you the ones who are taking away the vitality of others, refining potions, and then selling them to the ladies in the city at a high price?"
During this period, she has been investigating the "Vampire Mummy Case". Although she did not get the support of her colleagues, she still found out through her tireless investigation that it was not one person who stole the vitality, but an organized and premeditated gang.
They disguised themselves as "vampires", killed people and stole vitality, and then refined them into pure potions that can make people look young and even rejuvenate.
Then they make huge profits.
Today, she finally got the news that someone was going to secretly trade potions here, and she almost lost the target because she didn't have tickets to the opera house.
Fortunately, in the end, she caught the other party without any danger.
"Hmm..." The figure covered his injured arm with his hand, his face pale: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
"You don't know?" Dinah snorted coldly: "You don't want to say it, right? I have plenty of ways to make you say it."
Before she finished speaking, she had already rushed forward with a sword.
Dinah, who has been tempering her body for many years, charged forward like a vigorous female leopard, and the soft sword in her hand was the fangs of hunting prey, and she was extremely fierce when she took action.
But seeing the flash of swords in the field, the opponent had to retreat and dodge frantically, but blood still spurted out of his body from time to time.
The two fought, and the strength was clear.
"Shua!"
Just as she was about to defeat the opponent, two arc-shaped light and shadows suddenly appeared and twisted towards Dinah's waist and abdomen.
"Ding..."
Dinah waved her sword to intercept, pulled back, and her face showed a look of surprise:
"What is this?"
"Hehe..." The figure lowered his head and laughed.
Then he pulled his hands suddenly, tearing his coat to pieces, and at the same time revealing the horrifying scene underneath.
But seeing the shadow on his back swaying, he actually had two more pairs of arms than an ordinary person, and the six arms stretched out, like a humanoid spider.
Six arms, each holding a dagger, not only weird but also dangerous.
"A Monster!"
Dinah's face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a step back. At the same time, an ancient rumor came to her mind:
"You are a believer of Iris!"
"Bold!" Hearing the name of 'Iris', the weird looking creature suddenly became furious, his eyes instantly red, and the rising anger directly destroyed his reasoning.
"You dare to blaspheme the gods, damn it!"
"Swish!"
With its angry roar, six cold rays stabbed at Dinah, as fast as a rainstorm.
But it came quickly and left quickly.
The power of a peak-level knight squire is comparable to that of a ferocious beast, and Dinah, who is at full strength, is even more terrifying.
The six-handed monster is weird and terrifying, but its power is only that of an ordinary knight squire. It's just that the extra two pairs of arms are more troublesome to deal with, but it is far from closing the gap between the two sides.
"That's all."
After defeating the opponent, Dinah felt relieved: "It seems that the Spider Goddess did not bless you."
The Spider Goddess Iris, the legendary evil god and monster, attempted to steal the power of the righteous gods but was cursed. It is said that she has a spider body and a human head.
Most of her followers are cruel and bloodthirsty, especially loving to take away the vitality of others.
"Hehe..."
The monster slowly propped up its body from the ground, looked up, and grinned.
"Of course I can't do it alone, but... what if I add them?"
As soon as his voice fell, Dinah's face changed suddenly.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Three figures fell from a high place one after another, surrounding Dinah.
They all had arms on their backs, and six hands pressed on the ground, hissing like spiders, and spraying spider silk as their abdomens rose and fell.
The spider silk intertwined into a web, instantly covering the entire alley.
Damn it!
Dinah's hand tightened.
…
"Make way!"
"Please make way!"
"…"
When he walked out of the opera house, there was still a crowded crowd in front of the door.
Karl paused with his cane, rushed forward, and walked out of a passage with brute force.
After leaving the crowd, he straightened his clothes, which were a bit sharp, and did not leave. Instead, he went straight to the back door of the theater.
"Squeak..."
Soon after, the back door opened, and Jenny, who had not yet removed her makeup and changed her singing clothes, walked out.
The two agreed to meet here after the concert.
"Karl."
Smiling sweetly at Karl, Jenny said crisply.
"I saw you on the stage."
"Good performance." Karl praised: "I think your voice is more beautiful than the lead singer. If I were to choose, I would definitely choose you as the lead singer."
"Don't joke." Jenny smiled and shook her head.
"You don't know, I was so scared that my legs could hardly stand at that time. I am satisfied that I can hold on."
"I am telling the truth." Karl invited: "Do you want to go back together?"
"This..." Jenny looked back and hesitated.
The singing group will have a party later, but if she can be alone with the baron, she can refuse.
Without waiting for Jenny to answer, Karl continued, "It's just right. I found a house today and will move in in the next few days."
"It's a relief to see you perform on a formal stage before you leave."
"You're leaving?" Jenny's face turned pale.
"Why?"
"Is there anything wrong with our place? Tell us and it can be changed, and the rent can be negotiated."
"No." Karl waved his hand: "I just want to change places."
"..." Jenny's expression was stiff and her lips trembled.
"Really?"
"I'm very happy to live with you. These days will be beautiful memories in my life." Karl smiled:
"But people always have to part, as the proverb says, the only unchanging thing in life is change. When I pack up the new house, you are welcome to visit anytime."
"...Okay." Jenny clenched her hands, lowered her head, and said in a dull voice.
"The singing group will have a party later, so I won't go with you. Be careful on the road..."
"Party?" Karl looked at her then nodded:
"Okay, I wish you a good party. I'm leaving first."
He bent down to gesture, then turned and left.
Watching Karl's back disappear into the darkness, until he could no longer be seen, Jenny collapsed to the ground, tears falling silently.
"Jenny."
Percy from the singing group appeared behind her at some point, and sighed:
"We will meet many people in our lives, but the only ones who can accompany us throughout our lives may be God and our loved ones. Even parents and children will leave us."
She added: "Separation is the norm, so you should get used to it."
"Woo..." Jenny sobbed softly.
She understood this truth, but as long as she thought that Karl would be far away from her life, or even probably never appear again, she couldn't help but feel sad, heartbroken and sad.
"Don't cry." Percy stepped forward and patted her shoulder:
"I have good news for you. Your performance today attracted a big shot. Maybe it will be a better opportunity."
…
How could Karl not understand Jenny's thoughts?
However, he did not intend to take their relationship further, so he simply broke up while it was still possible and put his mind at rest.
In addition to wanting a spacious place, this move also had this reason.
"Huh?"
Walking through an alley, Karl's expression moved slightly and he subconsciously stopped.
Then he turned around and walked towards the dark alley.
"Huh..."
"Forget it!"
Karl shook his head at the entrance of the alley and stopped.
Although Sino City is much safer than Black City, there are also terrorist organizations like the Fire Thieves in the dark, and absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.
Less trouble is better than more trouble.
Thinking about it, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Shua!"
Suddenly, a flash of cold light flashed.
Karl subconsciously lowered his head to avoid the dagger, and saw a black shadow rushing after him.
"What the hell is that?"
