Six Hundred and Sixtieth, the Snake Hidden in the Dark

This is one of the many unfinished buildings in the industrial area of ​​Misaki City.

The location is relatively remote.

Surrounded by shelter-like buildings.

Light cannot be projected into it.

The cold air continued to spread inside.

In such a building, in a dark space with only concrete, a figure was leaning against the wall, sitting there, seeming to be dozing off.

The sound of breathing sounded rhythmically.

However, it is not so much the breathing of human beings as it is the breathing of ferocious beasts.

Under the sound of frantic breathing that made the surrounding air keep getting colder, the man fell asleep with his head down.

In his hand, he was holding a knife like the fangs of a wild beast, with a ferocious blade.

"tick..."

Amidst the sound of dripping liquid, bright red blood flowed down from the hideous knife, staining the ground red.

Taking a closer look, there are dismembered corpses lying around the dozing man, completely turning the environment around him into a sea of ​​blood.

The pungent smell of blood filled the air like this.

Until a footstep sounded.

"Roar…"

"Roar…"

Some animal roars were rising and falling like an accompaniment.

Those voices all came from people who were gradually approaching.

The man had a tall physique and was wearing a pitch-black overcoat. His face was as firm as a rock without any expression, and his eyes were also mechanically ruthless.

If Fang Li and Alquette were here, they would definitely recognize them immediately.

This person was obviously Nero who was supposed to be dead.

The high-ranking dead disciple who ranked tenth among the twenty-seven patriarchs walked slowly,

Turning a blind eye to the mountain of blood and sea of ​​corpses at his feet, he stepped over dismembered corpses one after another, trampled on sticky blood everywhere, and walked towards the person leaning against the wall.

Staring at the person leaning against the wall, sitting on the ground, holding a hideous knife in his hand, and breathing wildly like a ferocious beast, Nero made a rather indifferent voice.

"Failed."

In a word, the figure that was breathing frantically raised his head gradually.

This is a man with messy long black hair, wearing only a shirt and a pair of trousers.

The man's appearance is not outstanding, but his pair of eyes are like snakes, and the pupils present a slender shape.

Such a man looked at Nero, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and gradually put on a cruel expression on his face.

"It doesn't matter if you fail." The man said: "It was just done on a whim. If only one of the princess and the agent is left in the fight, it is a good thing. If not, then it doesn't matter."

From the man's words, it can be seen that the reason why Alquite and Xier met suddenly was not accidental, but intentional.

Think about it too.

When Alquitt just fell into the torment of blood-sucking urges, Xier appeared at the right time. It is really unreasonable to say that it was a coincidence.

In fact, it was because the man was keenly aware of Alquite's state, so he asked Nero to drive several wild beasts to attack Xier, and then led Xier to Alquite's surroundings, causing Xier Discovered Alquite affected by blood-sucking urges.

After that, you don't need to worry about it.

For the agent of the burial institution who regards heresy as an absolute enemy and must be eradicated no matter what, a true ancestor who is being influenced by the blood-sucking impulse must not sit idly by.

In this way, the conflict between Alquitd and Shier was only inevitable.

"It's just, how did you find out that the princess's blood-sucking impulse has already started?" Nero said without the slightest curiosity, just asking questions: "Although the princess has indeed become very weak, the remaining strength should It is not enough to suppress the blood-sucking impulse, but the time of the attack is also uncertain, and you have been staying here, how can you know the condition of the princess?"

After all, unlike Alquite, who can act freely during the day, as the owner of the incomplete immortality, the Dead Apostle who is only active at night, neither Nero nor this man will go out during the day of.

Even if it was Nero, it was just driving a few wild animals to do business, and he didn't go out just now.

Since he didn't go out and stayed here all the time, how did the man find out that there was something wrong with Alquette's state?

"It's just a feeling." Like a cold snake, the man sneered and said, "You should know, right? My relationship with Bai Ji is not as simple as it appears on the surface, is it?"

Hearing this sentence, Nero seemed to understand something.

"It turns out that the princess was deceived by you because of her blood-sucking impulse, and she sucked your blood, which turned you into a dead man. You took away part of the princess's power, and you will have a wonderful connection with the princess, and Nothing strange."

"Am I right?"

"snake."

Hearing this, the expression on the face of the dead man known as the snake became more and more cold and cruel. He raised the knife in his hand and pointed it at Nero.

"The same thing can work on you as well." The man said pointedly: "I also took away your power, and the inherent enchantment in your body is now under my control. If you're going to do something bad, I'll feel it the first time."

Undoubtedly, that is a threat.

This threat also changed Nero's complexion.

became scary.

"Don't worry, I won't forget." Nero said extremely depressed: "I will never forget all the shame you caused me."

"That's good." The man smiled indifferently: "After all, we are old acquaintances, and when this matter is over, we will have nothing to do with each other. Now let me use you to my heart's content for the time being. "

Nero didn't speak, just kept looking at the man with a cold face.

There is only one piece of advice given.

"To be honest, what you did really made me wonder if you are crazy. Are you not afraid that all the church dogs will come here and execute you?"

The man's answer to this question is this.

"As long as you get the true ancestor's princess, the people from the church are nothing at all." The man narrowed his eyes and said, "I care more about those two people."

Saying so, the man's knife lightly tapped the pool of blood on the ground.

Suddenly, the pool of blood fluctuated, like a mirror, showing two faces.

"Seven nights."

"Tohno Shiki."

Looking at these two people, the dead man called a snake sneered.

"As users of this pair of eyes, let me see if you can use it better than me."
