Main Text Volume Chapter 436 Cat and Mouse

On a cloudless night, the cold moon hangs alone.

Angel used the cleaning technique to completely wipe off the blood and smell on his body, and moved forward cautiously.

The woods were dark, and you could see the huge moon when you looked up. After walking a few steps, the woods in the distance somehow startled a flock of black crows.

This forest was not big and was on the downhill side. Angel quickly ran to the edge of the woods, and when he vaguely saw the desolate land outside the mountain, he suddenly stopped.

At some point, the sound of the wind stopped, and there was a dead silence around, and it seemed that no one was paying attention to him anymore. But Angel felt that something was wrong, and the inexplicable sense of threat made him stop and observe the situation in the dark.

After Angel hid, he turned on the supercomputer, and all kinds of data in his eyes began to be summarized one by one.

Until he entered the supercomputer state, he suddenly found all kinds of traces left along the way. The folds of leaves and dead branches on the ground where he stepped, and all kinds of things he touched unconsciously, all explained the direction he was moving in.

Angel could calculate all these new traces by himself, not to mention Isabella, whose computing ability might be far superior to his.

Regardless of whether there was danger ahead, Angel calmed down and decided to change direction.

If you want to avoid the eyes of the wizard, you must leave no trace. Otherwise, everything is out of the question. Angel turned on the supercomputing mode and circled slowly along the edge of the woods more carefully.

Angel thought that he should not leave any traces this time, but sometimes, the vision of a wizard is actually very different from that of an apprentice.

Not long after Angel walked, he suddenly heard a terrible cry from a certain direction in the woods.

His expression was gloomy. He was not unfamiliar with this voice. It was the shadow.

Along with the shadow's scream, a weird laugh and a rampant laugh came from a distance at the same time: "Dare to run in front of me, do you think you can really run away with your strength?"

If this double track exists at the same time, there is no doubt that it must be from Isabella. She seemed to be talking to Shadow, and seemed to be warning Angel with this sentence.

Not long after her voice fell, Shadow let out several more screams, and from the high-pitched sound at the beginning, it gradually weakened. At the end, Angel relied on the supercomputing state to catch a familiar vibration in the wind.

Shadow was discovered, which was an outcome that both Angel and Shadow could have expected. But Shadow still chose to fight. He released Naga to attract attention, hoping to take advantage of the time when Naga was dragged out to run back to the wizard tower where the mentor was.

As long as he stayed with the mentor, Shadow was sure that Isabella would never dare to act rashly.

But the two of them did not expect Isabella to solve Naga so quickly. Sure enough, the power of the second-level wizard was a level that they could not guess.

Angel's expression was a little sad. He didn't know what Shadow's current situation was, and he didn't dare to speculate too much. For Shadow's experience, in addition to the grief of the rabbit's death, he also felt deeply sorry.

Angel didn't dare to indulge in negative emotions for too long. He forced himself into a rational state and continued to walk along the edge of the woods.

He didn't leave the woods rashly because he calculated that the atmosphere outside the woods was not right in the supercomputing state. Combining various information, he believed that once he left the woods, there would inevitably be unpredictable follow-ups. And the danger was far greater than in the woods.

After a while, Angel heard obvious movement in the direction he came from. I think Isabella has found the place where he stayed before.

Angel glanced back and his eyes immediately fell. He vaguely saw Isabella hovering in the air, with a jade-like full moon as her background. She held a human head in one hand and a dilapidated figure in the other hand.

Angel took a deep breath and began to speed up.

On Isabella's side, every time she passed a place, a black crow was startled. She came to the place where Angel had stopped before. As Angel thought, even he could calculate the traces, how could Isabella not see it?

But when Isabella came here, the traces suddenly disappeared. She was a little surprised, but soon she smiled again.

"You deliberately made a trace for me to find, and then entered the real invisible invisible state, and then tried to escape. Diablo, look at you. Not only are you not as capable as a child, but he is much better than you in observation and calculation." Isabella smiled at the man who was pulling with her left hand.

Shadow was now covered with wounds, even more serious than Angel's previous injuries, but at least his limbs were intact and he still had a breath. Compared with the Naga on Isabella's right hand, which only had a head left, it was much better.

"Heh!" Shadow had just said a word, and blood and broken internal organs flowed out of his mouth: "Do you know who he is?"

"Oh, from your tone, does he have an extraordinary background?" In fact, from Angel's various performances, Isabella had roughly guessed that he was not an ordinary apprentice. Just the invisibility technique that can hide from wizards is not something that an ordinary apprentice can perform.

"You can try to kill him and you will know." Shadow actually didn't know who Angel's master was. He asked many times, but Angel always smiled and said nothing. He only knew that it was from the Savage Cave.

However, in the blood prison of the Black Castle, Graya warned Felicia that Angel's master was extraordinary.

So Shadow actually had a few targets in mind. After all, even a true wizard like Graya admitted that Angel's mentor could not afford to offend, so his mentor must also be a first-class true wizard. There were only a few true wizards in the Savage Cave, and Shadow directly locked his target on the top wizard giants.

Silencer, Master of Illusion, Whisper of the World, Thunder Wolf... Shadow was more inclined to Master of Illusion, after all, Angel and Illusion Sanders were both illusionists. But he couldn't really confirm it.

Isabella pulled Shadow in front of her and laughed crazily: "Your physiological state tells me that you are being mysterious. However, I don't really care who is behind him. For example, even if Bogula is in Silent Hill, I want to kill you, and he can't stop it."

Shadow was silent. At present, his only hope of survival is that Bogula shows up.

Although Bogula's personality is a bit extreme, Shadow actually knows very well that Bogula is actually a very simple person among wizards... and judging from his past performance, he is also very protective.

However, Shadow had never offended a formal wizard before, so he didn't know whether Bogula would stand up for him this time.

Shadow wanted to say to Isabella: "Try to kill me."

But he didn't dare to bet whether the mentor would appear, so he could only remain silent.

At this time, Angel had walked around the edge of the woods and came to the main road. In other words, he was back on the main road where Isabella had stopped him before.

At the end of the main road, Angel could vaguely see the figure of the two-faced stone spirit Taros.

If he continued to walk around the edge, he would enter the woods on the other side. Would it be safer to leave by the main road?

Angel began to calculate the possibility of leaving by the main road from various details and auxiliary information.

After a while, Angel came to a conclusion: leaving by the main road is indeed safer than crossing the edge of the forest directly.

This conclusion made Angel a little unbelievable, but this was the answer Angel came up with after combining various information and some unknown status feedback.

Do you really have to take the main road?

Now, Angel's brain has begun to fatigue. His body is already in a broken state, and he has turned on the supercomputer that is extremely taxing on his brain. If he continues this double load, he believes that he will not be able to hold on for long.

In other words, under such circumstances, he can no longer turn on the supercomputer to enter the forest on the other side to find a possible safe exit.

Angel thought of this and made a decision in his heart.

...

Back to Isabella's perspective, she is not worried about Angel running away.

If Angel had hidden his figure and parted ways with the shadow since the escape from the mobile market, she might still miss. But now she has seen Angel, and his pheromones have been firmly remembered by her.

Even if Angel escapes to the ends of the earth, she can rely on pheromones to calculate and lock Angel's position. She can even directly collect Angel's blood and curse Angel from a distance through secret methods.

In such a situation, Isabella doesn't care about Angel's actions at all. She even has the interest of cat catching mouse, leisurely letting the "little mouse" run around.

"Cough, cough, cough——"

The Naga head that Isabella was holding with her left hand suddenly woke up and began to cough up blood.

Naga is a puppet, the body is a vehicle, and only the brain is the core. So Isabella cut off her head, but it was not really killing her.

"Master, I failed." Naga's slightly depressed voice came into Shadow's ears.

Shadow actually didn't dare to look at Naga, because Naga's condition was actually caused by him. He didn't know whether it was a brain fever or a heart attack at the most critical moment, and he chose Angel.

Now, Naga woke up and talked to him. Shadow had to look at Naga at this time...

He understood Naga's tragic condition.

Even if there was only one head left, it was not absolutely complete. Naga's eyeball fell off, and half of her face was almost destroyed.

But Shadow didn't feel the slightest bit of fear, instead he felt even more pity and guilt in his heart: "Yes... I'm sorry for you."

Naga: "This is my... cough cough... responsibility."

"I didn't expect that Diablo you've grown up and learned from your mentor to have a relationship with a puppet." Isabella sneered, "I'm not interested in watching you kiss and moan."

As she spoke, a bloody ball appeared in Isabella's hand, wrapping Naga's head inside, and finally slowly solidified.

In the blood ball, there was a blonde woman with wide eyes, with surprise and farewell.

It was like a wax artwork.

However, this artwork had a bloody shell.

"Look, what a beautiful expression." Isabella smiled and said, "It's probably the most interesting piece of my recent collection."

"You!" Shadow witnessed this scene with resentment, closed his eyes and suppressed his anger.

But Shadow was still young after all. Although his experience made his personality tend to the mainstream values ​​of the wizarding world, time has not yet smoothed out the edges of his heart.

Hot-blooded impulses have not become synonymous with the past, and sometimes reason can hardly overcome emotion.

Shadow suppressed it again and again, and even blood-stained tears fell from his eyes. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, and a hoarse voice came out from between his teeth: "Old, witch!"
