Chapter 33 'Stage Play'!

The 20-meter-long lightsaber swept across the front.

The [Sword of Dawn], which has been upgraded twice in a row, already has a slashing power above the level of a chariot at this time.

When facing the dozen or so people in front of him, the lightsaber swept past without any stagnation.

Or to be more precise...

Destruction!

More than a dozen people filled with greed and malicious expressions directly solidified on their faces.

Jason continued to move forward.

Step, step.

Jason walked through the circle of more than ten people in front of him. When he walked out of the gate of Jiexin Park, behind him, a red line appeared on the bodies of the more than ten people.

Then, this red line expanded involuntarily.

Then--

Puff puff!

More than a dozen blood-red liquids rose into the sky and fell down as little raindrops.

The first rays of dawn shone on these raindrops.

Their colors are getting brighter and brighter, like fireworks that bloom in a strange way, welcoming Jason's departure.

The tall figure did not stop there.

Only when moving forward, firm footsteps.

Step, step.

The dense sound of 'raindrops' could not stop accompanied by such footsteps. At this time, Kuya came back to his senses.

what just happened?

Is that... a sword?

Kuya looked down at the corpse that had just exuded malice on the ground, but now it turned cold. She stared blankly at the figure that was drifting away. The blood red filled her field of vision, but the deep black seemed to Eternal and unchanged, it is like a whole black painting that has been splashed with red paint. Those paints slowly flow down the canvas, but they cannot hide the original black at all.

Bask in the first rays of sunlight in the morning.

Wearing blood-red black, it's the same... radiant!

Kuya couldn't help but be attracted by this strange beauty.

She was immersed in this cruel beauty.

It wasn't until Jason's figure was about to disappear that she regained her senses.

"and many more……"

The subconscious Kuya is about to catch up.

But when she rushed to the gate of Jiexin Park, a clear slashing pattern appeared on the concrete walls on both sides of the street that had no gate.

It's like cutting tofu with a knife.

Boom!

The walls on both sides collapsed straight down, and the dust was flying.

When the dust settled, Kuya had long since lost sight of Jason.

Kuya looked at the direction Jason had left in a loss, and after a while, she recovered, took out the communicator and dialed a number.

About 3 minutes later, a mobile team belonging to the ‘Holy Snake Society’ appeared here.

They cleaned up the mess in silence, and began to trace the origin of the corpses as ordered.

An hour later, a clue appeared in the secret stronghold of the ‘Holy Snake Society’.

Kuya, who had been waiting for a long time, directly picked up the report slip.

"Hephaestus bar?"

Kuya whispered softly, and then showed the note in his hand to Sickert and Rasius.

The two C-level personnel of the "Holy Snake Society" had already learned from Kuya's mouth what had just happened, and they became serious at this time.

Because, they found, things seem to be far more complicated than they thought.

However, some things cannot be changed.

Example: The Habits of Rathius and Seacott.

"I haven't heard, you know,

My free time is to play games at home. "

Rasius gave up after one look.

As for the new games released this year, he is very familiar with it, but the bar... He really never went to the bar, where is the game fun when drinking and dancing.

"I don't know either, you know, I go to clubs a lot."

The white-haired Seacott smiled shyly.

Men, we must do it from the beginning to the end!

When I was a teenager, I liked the twenty-year-old, then...the same life!

Kuya looked at the two of them, and his breathing became rapid again.

She really wanted to ask how these two colleagues got into the 'Holy Snake Society' and became C-level personnel!

If the 'Holy Snake Society' are all such people, how could the 'Holy Snake Society' not end?

right!

There must be members who are as dedicated as she is to have the glory of the "Holy Snake Society".

"Has the director come back yet?"

Kuya glanced at the note again, wrote down the address, and asked directly.

The previous meeting made her smell dangerous.

She needs a temporary partner.

And the director of the 'Holy Snake Society' in Angcheng is naturally the best choice.

"There are too many forces and individuals in Angcheng, and the supervisor is responsible for monitoring all of this. It is impossible for them to appear in a short period of time."

Hearing Seacott's answer, Kuya frowned.

But helpless.

The behavior of the 'Holy Snake Society' destined them to be impossible to be as open and upright as the 'Asylum'. Each of them has a hidden identity, which is naturally a good protection in normal times, but at this time it changes. It has to be extra restrictive, and it takes more effort to achieve the same effect as the 'shelter'.

This is also because there are many D-class personnel to help.

Otherwise...it would be an impossible task at all.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Kuya's eyes turned to the two colleagues in front of him.

She was going to pick one as her partner.

But before she could speak, she saw Seacott staggeringly stood up.

"I'm old, the world is already your young people's!"

With that, Seacott turned and walked out.

And Rethes followed.

"I need to complete my record of 3,062 overnight stays."

Leaving such words, Retheus disappeared in a blink of an eye.

And the wobbly Seacott also disappeared.

Looking at the empty stronghold, Kuya couldn't help gnashing his teeth, and the angry voice was almost squeezed out of his teeth——

"asshole!"

"Two bastards!"

Sicott and Lexius, who had already walked out of the hidden stronghold, stood outside the door but looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

"Oh, dodged again."

"Kuya probably called us bastards again."

Rasius sighed.

"Yeah, it's not easy."

"Originally, I was optimistic about D1314. When he is promoted, I will be able to relax a little bit, but unfortunately he has directly become the contact person of the 'abnormal', alas."

Seacott also sighed.

And the same sigh, then narrowed the distance between the two.

"Going for a drink?"

"I know a pub that's open 24 hours a day."

Seacott suggested.

"No, I'm going to finish my 3,062-day overnight record."

Rethes refused.

"Isn't what you said an excuse?"

The gray-haired Seacott was surprised.

"no."

"It can only be said that it is half truth and half falsehood."

"Who knows if it's true or not?"

Rethes said with a smile.

"yes."

"Who knows if it's true or not."

"We're just trying to mess around, a comfortable day is a day."

Seacott nodded in agreement.

Then, after staring at each other for a moment, the two cherished each other.

"Hope to see you next time."

"You too, be careful."

"Well, take care."

The two parted at the door.

Retheus comes home liver game.

Seacott went to the club to feel the warmth.

They choose the way that suits them best for their final relaxation.

Because they have already felt the pressure before the war.

Kuya has a similar feeling, but it is far less clear than Rathius and Seacott, because most of her energy is attracted by the so-called 'Claw 13'.

For 'Claw 13', Kuya doesn't have any clues.

So, she had to start with the 'Hephaestus Bar'.

She has confirmed that those who showed up in the center of the street were there to find out the news.

In the same way, she can be sure that D1314 has not leaked information, and there is no problem with any aspect of her.

Then there's only one possibility left...

What's wrong with 'Claw 13'.

Or is there something wrong with the Masked Man.

But no matter which one it is, it is her chance to find 'Sharp Claw 13'.

Thinking of being able to see that deep, tall figure again, Kuya couldn't help but quicken his steps.

There is no other meaning.

She was just curious.

Curious where 'Claw 13' came from.

Curious about the relationship between 'Claw 13' and 'Masked Man'.

Also curious... what happened to that dazzling sword.

Is it with the help of 'abnormal objects'?

Or are you just an 'abnormal'?

With a lot of questions, Kuya appeared in front of the 'Hephaestus Bar' bar.

This bar is located indoors near the sewer area. Unlike the tidy city center, it has become barren and dilapidated, and the buildings are extremely old. In layman's terms, this is a slum.

The 'Hephaestus Bar' is located at the intersection of the civilian area and the slum area. It is an independent building. From the outside, it looks like a building with a period of time, but the inside is relatively clean.

"Sorry, our business hours are over."

"If you want something to drink, please go tonight."

Facing Kuya who pushed in the door, the bartender said expressionlessly.

Kuya ignored this, and strode closer to the bar.

"Street Park."

"'Mask Man'."

"'Claw 13'."

Kuya reported these words.

The bartender in front of him was still expressionless.

"Ma'am I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Then why don't you let the gentleman hiding behind the wine rack talk to me?"

Kuya interrupted the bartender.

Her eyes looked directly at the wine cabinet full of various liquors.

Although the wine cabinet was airtight, she could clearly hear the breathing behind the wine cabinet.

Some heavy breathing!

"Ma'am, I don't know what you're talking about, please leave!"

The bartender's face sank and his tone became unpleasant.

Moreover, the palm has already touched the side of the bar.

There is a shotgun there.

"Okay, Taur."

"Let this lady come in."

"Also, you can get off work."

A hoarse voice came from behind the wine cabinet.

"Yes, sir."

The bartender bowed respectfully, the etiquette was a bit strange, and what was even more strange was that the bartender's lips moved slightly.

Kuya, who is not very proficient in lip language, can only roughly distinguish words such as "what long live".

click!

There was a sound of gears turning from under the floor.

A room appeared behind the wine cabinet.

A man dressed in brown sackcloth was sitting there, the floor was full of empty wine bottles, and the whole room was filled with an unpleasant smell of alcohol. Even in the bar, Kuya could feel the smell of alcohol coming to his face.

This made her immediately dismiss the idea of ​​wanting to approach, and just walked around the bar and stood in front of the wine cabinet and looked at each other.

The thick brown linen covered the other's face, but from the sitting posture, the other's height was not tall, the body should be a little rickety, and the voice was hoarse before, obviously it should be an old man.

But such an old man gave Kuya a sense of oppression.

Just sitting there still made Kuya feel like he saw a mountain.

The opponent must be in a high position!

Kuya, who has had a similar experience, is quite sure of this.

"Hello."

Kuya maintained her etiquette.

"Hello, Ms. Cuya."

The other party responded.

This surprised Kuya.

Although her identity will no longer be a secret when she becomes the person in charge of this follow-up 'contact' operation, being able to find out her information so quickly when she only shows up is enough to show that the old man in front of you In Angcheng, there is no less power than the 'Asylum' and the 'Holy Snake Society', but then Kuya came back to her senses, and she chuckled: "As expected, you are the one who found the whereabouts of the 'Masked Man', hiding everything. But you."

Clearly a compliment, who doesn't like a compliment?

Compliments are best used especially when you want to get more information.

It's a pity that the old man on the opposite side doesn't seem to eat this set at all.

Just staring at Kuya.

The shadow under the hood obscured his entire face, including his eyes.

But Kuya felt the gaze watching from the shadows.

She felt a flurry of hairs, and just as she was about to say something to relieve the pressure, the old man on the opposite side let out a hoarse laugh.

"I didn't find him."

"He found us."

said the old man.

us?

Kuya keenly grasped the key words.

Then, she didn't speak, because the old man in front of her said to herself: "We have long admired the 'masked people', just like they are in the legend."

"We have been unable to confirm their existence."

"But the appearance of 'masked people' allowed us to confirm them."

"They actually exist!"

"We want to touch the legends, because we don't want to live in their shadows - Ang Cheng, just need a voice, but..."

After speaking, the old man laughed again.

The hoarse laughter was filled with hoarseness.

"We miscalculated their power and the way they acted."

In the hoarse voice, there was a hint of crying.

Yes, cry!

Kuya never thought that the old man who was obviously in a high position in front of him would actually cry in front of a stranger like her.

And, the cries were filled with... fear!

Yes, fear!

Hear the trembling cry!

If it wasn't for fear, why would there be such a sound?

Unconsciously, Kuya, who was affected, swallowed.

"who are they?"

Kuya asked.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was startled.

Because at this moment her voice is no longer pleasant, but because of tension, it has become hoarse.

"In the legend, there is a group of dark walkers in the night of Ang, who control the city, and in this city, anyone who defies their will will be destroyed by their claws, even if you seem to be The same goes for the rulers of cities."

"Because, in this city, there is only one true ruler!"

"They ensure the operation of Ang City, and they maintain the balance of Ang City!"

"Thousands of years ago."

"A thousand years from now."

"Unchanged for a thousand years!"

"They are..."

"Night Owl Court!"
