Chapter 13 You Heard It, She Asked Me to Hit You

The first time she heard the battle taking place above, she had already started several rituals for herself in the basement.

——[Protection from Bullets], [Weak Penetration of Natural Resistance], [Protection from Slashing], [Stable Casting], [Weakness Reinforcement].

Of course she was at full strength and had prepared her strongest blow in advance before she came out to confront them here.

Although she was talking to Aiwass now, her attention was actually focused on Haina.

As long as Haina is distracted, she will immediately throw the "cursed baby" on hand. It will automatically track the heart, and once it comes into contact, it will submerge into the body and bite the internal organs directly from the body, causing frost damage.

While causing unbearable pain, it can also freeze the blood vessels near the heart. Even if you don't die after eating it, strenuous activity will tear your internal organs and cause large-scale bleeding. Not even a bishop could save such an injury.

...But if this blow misses and falls into a fight.

Even if she had blessed herself with a lot of buffs in advance, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat this young supervisor.

She could sense that the other party must have mastered the power of the third level. At least half a level higher than him.

Although she doesn't know the characteristics of the opponent's path, there is a high probability that she can't beat him.

——You only have one chance!

The moment she saw Aiwass raising his gun at her, she decided on her next tactic.

She specially strengthened her defense.

If it was a powerful firearm, she might even be wary of it. But the power of Lady's Grip is very weak.

Even thicker oak barrels filled with wine may not be able to be punched through. The female knight opposite could probably block this bullet with her muscles.

Such bullets, even if they hit weak points such as her eyes and throat accurately, would not be able to cause serious damage to her.

And Aiwass Moriarty is just a young man who has never touched a gun and knows nothing. As extraordinary people on the resonance path, she could clearly sense the mutual induction... Even if Aiwass had an extraordinary profession, he would definitely be at least one level lower than herself.

Because she didn't sense any threat from the other party.

He dared to shoot Ademar because Ademar had lost his fighting ability. It's the equivalent of shooting at a stationary target.

Looking at Ademar's body, the bullet had normal power. No special modifications by craftsmen.

But he is a living person and can avoid it. When he didn't know whether he could dodge the blow, he would definitely choose to shoot his torso in exchange for a hit rate.

And the protection she had put in place could easily block this shot.

But she could pretend that she had suffered a fatal blow to make the young female knight relax her guard. Then take the opportunity to sneak attack on the opponent——

"How about it? Let's take a gamble!"

She laughed boldly, as if she was truly unafraid: "You only have one chance!"

Veronica knew that if this bullet could hit a weak point such as her eyes or throat, it might indeed interrupt her spell. But first of all, Aiwass may not dare to fight like this - he only has one chance.

If she continues to put pressure on the other party, that young man will choose stability!

And as long as this shot didn't hit the weak point that was originally fatal, she could safely block it;

To take a step back, the worst result is that the spell is interrupted. The poor little pistol in his hand was still unable to cause effective damage to himself - and he still had the opportunity to sneak attack the female knight.

——No matter what, at least I won’t lose.

Come on, come on.

"Give me a shot quickly—"

After quickly determining the tactics through her own experience, Veronica stood where she was and continued to taunt:

"What a ridiculous and pitiful boy. I didn't kill you last time, but you can't escape this time. You don't think that if this thing can kill that idiot, then..."

——Peng!

The next moment, a gunshot rang out.

I saw a dark line passing through Veronica's head.

Her bald head split into pieces and exploded like a watermelon.

The spell maintained in Veronica's hand drifted out of control, and the extremely cold wind blew through the entire bar. Haina couldn't help but take half a step back. Aiwass's wheelchair rolled backwards and hit the wall before stopping.

There is no need for follow-up blows.

Because she died so quickly and completely that the continuous damage caused by "Shadow" and "Erosion" could not be dealt.

Tiny white light spots gradually emerged from her body and poured into Aiwass' body.

[Kill the second-level transcendent and gain 16 free experience]

——This is the simplest way to skip class.

Among the protective rituals she can use, there is no physical resistance of the "cutting", "piercing", or "bludgeoning" types. In other words, she can only resist "cutting" and "shooting" at best. And her ritual level is too low and is ineffective against extraordinary weapons.

Then you only need to find an extraordinary weapon with "cutting", "piercing", and "bludgeoning" characteristics, and use sneak attacks to hit her weak points before entering combat. It can penetrate all resistances just like attacking ordinary units. A single damage will knock out at least one-third of her life, and she will directly fall into a state of defense-breaking fainting.

Then one round of output can be taken away.

But in reality, without the triple health bonus of the four-player BOSS module, she can be killed with just one shot to the head.

After all, the system for making "enchantment cards" comes from the ability of the Sin Scholar. Purple extraordinary equipment, which is extremely rare in the 0 environment, is basically available to everyone after two versions, so the "extraordinary" entry, Sin Scholar's Phantom Card is quite generous.

Rather, if the "extraordinary" entry is not given, the weapon card manifested by the fantasy card will not be able to defeat the monsters after two versions - the enemies in that period have basically covered the non-extraordinary resistance per capita. Weapons and consumables involving extraordinary power are no longer impressive.

How can it be like now, this blue and white outfit can kill people.

What's this?

This is the suppression of version updates.

"You see, she asked me to shoot. I just wanted to scare her."

Looking at Haina's somewhat shocked and confused look, Aiwass shrugged innocently: "It's none of my business."

"...I know. Don't be afraid, Mr. Aiwass. You are completely innocent. You were forced to shoot because she threatened your life - I can prove it to you."

Haina took a step late before slowly nodding her head.

She looked back at the sorceress's body again and was silent for a while.

"...But why does she dare to be so arrogant?"

She tried to explain what was happening in front of her, trying to rationalize it: "Maybe she thought that your shot would be empty...

"——By the way, she said 'I couldn't kill you last time'. Is she the demonologist who kidnapped you? That's why she despises you. I didn't expect that as a priest, in addition to your reasoning ability, Still have the courage to fight her!"

Haina became more and more fluent as she spoke, feeling that she had completed the logic.

Aiwass shook his head repeatedly.

This man is so charmed that he can really say anything... If you want my body, just say so. This logic has made him don't know how to answer it.

"We can still transport one person's body back. But we definitely can't transport two people."

Aiwass did not answer the question, but made a suggestion calmly: "So my suggestion is that we find a way to contact the nearby Supervision Bureau. Let them send people to supervise - and seal this place down by the way. The Pelican Bar must be related to These demonologists are related.

"You can check the basement of this bar. There should be a lot of ritual materials in it."

"Very good!"

Haina was extremely excited: "The incident has been solved!"

But then, she suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, how do you know this bartender's name?"

"Because I've been here."

Aiwass didn’t mince words: “That was the day I was attacked and kidnapped.

"Actually, what I told you before was not entirely correct. Or... I didn't know they were demonologists at the time."

"them?"

"Yes. In addition to this woman, there was also a middle-aged man. Before I was attacked, the two of them came to me for a drink... I thought they were good people at the time, so I invited them to a meal.

"Unexpectedly, I fell into a coma not long after leaving the bar. In a daze, I saw the huge stone arch. So I knew that I should have been taken to Stone Arch Park. I didn't even think about knocking me out. They were the ones - or rather, there should be something wrong with the food I ate that day.

"That's why I tested the bartender. I suspected he had drugged me and recognized me.

"So I think we can't take it lightly. There should be a more powerful demonologist still alive. He is a man, about forty years old, with brown eyes, the same bald head, and a bit of a Star Antimony Kingdom accent - he said he is A stone merchant, he travels between Star Antimony and Avalon on weekdays.”

Aiwass told half-truths.

His itinerary that day was easy to investigate. He left a deep impression not only on the wild elf bartender, but also on all the guests who came here that day.

So you can’t fool anyone here.

And Aiwass also had to pay special attention to perspective.

If he is really an innocent person, then he should not know what is special about these two people. So it was very reasonable that he didn't report it on the first day - from Aiwass' perspective at the time, he was indeed attacked on his way home after going out to play.

But now, he must tell this matter. Because once he started investigating the Pelican Bar, his itinerary for the day could not be hidden from anyone.

Similarly, from his perspective, he would definitely not know that the man had been killed by him. He didn't know that there was a deceased person at the ceremony site and that he was a wanted criminal.

Sure enough, Haina immediately explained to him: "Don't be afraid, that person is probably dead - I now fully understand the whole incident.

"They should have been hiding in this bar. Then they saw you coming to the bar alone that day, and they planned to use you as a sacrifice to summon the devil.

"This bartender is one of theirs, so he poisoned you so that you can't resist their sacrifice.

"The woman just said something like 'I couldn't kill you last time', and the man died at the ceremony... It should be that he was backlashed by the demon summoned, and his students decisively fled the scene. As a result Unexpectedly, the demon killed its summoner first, and you survived."

"So that's it."

Aiwass nodded thoughtfully: "If that man is dead... then it is roughly consistent with my speculation.

"In this case, Senior Sister - we don't have to report to the Supervisory Bureau immediately."

Now that Haina was needed, Aiwas stopped calling her by her name and called her Senior Sister instead.

"Why?"

Haina was a little surprised: "Will it be faster to find it with more people?"

"Someone among the guests who escaped before must have reported to the Supervisory Bureau. And I just fired two shots, and the people outside should have heard it. The Supervisory Bureau should be here in a while, and we just need to wait here."

At this point, Aiwas showed obvious hesitation on his face, which even Haina could easily see.

She immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

"In fact," Aiwas lowered his voice, "I may have left a book here.

"I was groggy when I left that day, and I left something here."

"What book?"

"It's a banned book."

"Banned book? !"

"Yes."

Aiwas nodded and said seriously: "It's called "Alchemy Code", and it should have been received by the bartender in the basement.

"I didn't dare to take it back. But since we don't have to notify the Supervisory Bureau immediately, I still want to take it back. The book is still very precious... and I'm also worried that if it stays here, someone might find out that the book is related to our Moriarty family."

"... You."

Haina just felt a headache.

Even if it's not his appearance - in this short day of contact, she also admired her junior very much.

Smart, serious, and educated. He is even a seeker of dedication and fights with her. From the incident of dealing with the female demon scholar, he can even be regarded as saving her life.

She is not an ungrateful person.

But how to deal with this matter...

Haina thought for a while, first sheathed the sword, and the halo in her eyes gradually extinguished.

"Just this time."

She also lowered her voice and said seriously: "I know that among the big guys, there must be someone who secretly studied those taboo knowledge. But I didn't expect you to do the same...

"I don't want to report you, but at least don't bring it to public places? It's dangerous!

"Even if the package is not searched by the patrolling Inspectorate, it is possible that it will be targeted by criminals - you may not know that this kind of mysterious book is very expensive in the black market!"

Of course I know.

It is because it is very expensive, and you are poor and can sympathize with the pain, so I bring this up here...

"Yes, what you said is..."

Evans nodded repeatedly, looking pitiful: "Can you help me get it back? Since it is illegal, it should be hidden in the basement; if it is precious enough, it should be placed in an important box."

"...I suspect that you are targeted because of that book!"

Haina was not taught enough, and couldn't help but say a few more words.

But looking at Aihuas's appearance, she really softened her heart.

She sighed and handed her Inspectorate badge and sword to Aihuas: "You stay here and don't go out. If the local inspectors come before I come back, you show this to them. Tell them that someone is already investigating and let them wait here.

"-Also, I just remembered when I talked about alchemy. According to the standard case handling process, you have to hand this gun over to the Supervisory Bureau for inspection to see if there are any signs of illegal modification by alchemy. "

"I understand. It should be."

Aiwas nodded without hesitation.

Haina was a little worried: "Tell me the truth, is there any? I feel that its power is a bit strong. If there is, I can help you deal with the body and hide the traces of the body a little bit - it is also illegal to modify weapons by alchemy."

"Really not."

Aiwas assured very confidently: "You can check it at will. It's better not to deal with the body... If someone finds out that the body was handled by you, you will not be in a good situation. "

Regardless of the fact that this is enchantment, it is indeed not a transformation... and it would be strange if the Phantom Magic Card could be found by the novice technicians of the Supervisory Bureau whose highest level is less than 40.

Do you know what the technical barriers of the industry are?

Hearing this, Hai Na felt warm in her heart.

It was obviously she who asked for help, but for some reason she felt like she was being helped.

"Be careful, I'll be back soon. "

Haina opened the door to the basement and closed it.

After she left, Aiwass sighed softly.

The puppy-like expression on his face suddenly disappeared. He became expressionless.

--The next moment, Aiwass stood up from the wheelchair.

His movements were very smooth, without any delay.

And the moment he left the wheelchair, the shadow under him slowly moved like a living creature suddenly awakened. Like an amorphous monster, it slowly crawled on his skin, spread and twisted from the ground.

The entire messy bar hall became dim.

It was as if it was not noon here, but evening with the lights on. It blocked all the light coming in from outside.

Clatter, clatter...

When Aiwas stepped on his own shadow, it made a sound like boots stepping on rainy water. His shadow seemed to have turned into some kind of viscous liquid, or like flowing black blood.

Aiwas, who completely ignored this change, walked straight to Veronica's body and searched her body carefully in the dark.

When they met that night, Veronica showed him that she had hidden a thick stack of letters in her clothes.

He saw it clearly at that time. The last letter he sent to them was hidden inside.

These letters were kept in her own bra.

- If Veronica forgot to destroy the letter or planned to keep it temporarily after she was suspected of being killed by the shadow demon...

If she died suddenly now, it would become evidence that could implicate Aiwas in this matter.

Aiwas tricked Haina away just to quietly take back this fatal evidence.

The result was just as Aiwas expected.

Aiwass took out a stack of letters of varying sizes from Veronica's clothes. He saw the one that belonged to him at a glance.

"Heh."

Aiwass sneered and squeezed the letter tightly.

As expected.

—— This is the final evidence.

Wow, the editor came to me yesterday and said that the word count was increasing too fast, and if the book recommendation is not updated, it will have to be put on the shelves...

Today it is still more than 7,000 words, and it will be reduced to less than 5,000 from tomorrow, but I will try to write more! It is important to follow up on the new book period, remember to come and see it every day!
