Cough! Cough!
Suddenly, the young man who had just finished eating the steak lay on the ground and coughed violently. He clutched his throat with both hands as if he was trying to spit out something stuck in his throat.
When the noblewoman saw this, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're such a good-for-nothing. You can choke just by eating something."
The dog was still coughing violently. His face turned red and he raised his hand to cover his mouth.
The aristocrat frowned and said, "Get out of here. Go to the torture room and get 20 lashes." After that, she kicked him with her embroidered boots.
The dog didn't seem to hear it. He coughed louder and louder. Gradually, he spat out some liquid from the gap between his fingers, which fell on the carpet. The lady thought it was saliva. She became more and more disgusted and kicked him.
The young man suddenly stopped coughing and quietly lay on the ground.
The lady became more and more annoyed. She kicked his shoulder and neck with the sharp part of her boots. She didn't care that it was a weak point of the human body. She kicked him and said angrily, "I told you to get out of here. Did you hear me? Did you hear me?!"
With a thud, her sharp and long high-heeled boots kicked into the young man's neck. When she withdrew her foot, she saw a bloody hole in his neck, but strangely, there was no blood gushing out from it.
When the lady saw this, she quickly raised her foot that was about to land and stepped on the young man's shoulder. "You almost dirtied my carpet, you bastard!"
The young man's neck twitched slightly. The joints inside seemed to be hardened. It was extremely difficult to move. When he turned his head and looked up at the lady, the lady was stunned. She saw that the young man's face was covered with blood. It seemed that he coughed out from his mouth. His hand covered his mouth, causing the blood to splash on her face. At first glance, he looked like a beast that had just bitten a living creature.
"You …"
Roar!
The young man suddenly screamed and rushed to the lady.
The lady screamed in fear and shouted for help.
The surrounding attendants jumped in fright and quickly pulled out their weapons to help.
At this time, a little girl sitting at the end of the table, after a violent cough, suddenly rushed to her brother.
For a moment, the entire restaurant was in chaos.
This chaos extended out from the aristocratic castle like moonlight. Horrified screams and sparks filled the entire castle. On the patrol road in the castle manor, it was already a scene of battle. "People" wearing the same armor pounced on the people around them with ferocious expressions. On the streets outside the castle walls, it was also incomparably chaotic. The commoners cried and fled in all directions. One by one, they bared their fangs and brandished their claws in pursuit …
At night, panic, killing, and chaos filled every corner of the city.
The heart-wrenching screams reached the Wilderness outside the Stronghold and gradually faded away. In the vast grassland of the wasteland, a black shadow was crawling at an extremely fast speed like a spider, but the head was that of a beautiful woman with snow-white skin. However, at this moment, her mouth was filled with sharp teeth, and the corners of her mouth were split open to her ears. It was as if her entire face had been torn apart horizontally, making her look incomparably sinister. She was crawling at an extremely fast speed, crawling towards the stronghold and the chaotic city behind it.
In the distance behind her, the Wall of Sighs stood tall and silent. It was like a giant that didn't care about the screams and tragedies around it.
The streets of the outer wall were brightly lit. Pubs were bustling and the smell of food was coming out from the roadside shops. The atmosphere was tranquil. But on the top of Wutuo Mountain in the center of the commercial district, it was a bit cold. Although lanterns were hung everywhere outside the temple, making it as bright as day, there was a lack of human presence. Only the occasional sound of communication could be heard from the sacrificial hall outside the square.
"Master, someone has come to see you. He claims to be one of Glenn's men." Neuss came to the Temple and reported to Dudian.
Dudian's hand slightly paused: "Call him in."
"Yes, young master."
Neuss turned and left. He soon led a young man in black clothes into the Temple. The young man's head was half lowered after he entered the Temple. He didn't dare to look directly in front of him as he was afraid of offending the big shot. However, the corner of his eyes swept around. He was sizing up the most sacred hall in the outer wall.
Dudian noticed his small movements but didn't say anything: "Where is Glenn?"
The young man looked up and saw Dudian's face. He didn't expect that the person who lived here wasn't the Pope but Dudian! As an assassin he would pay attention to famous people. He recognized Dudian's identity at a glance. Wasn't he the genius architect who had disappeared for a period of time?
Why was he sitting in the Temple?
He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask. He said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, I'm one of the assassins summoned by Lady Glenn. My name is' Nuria '. Lady Glenn accidentally exposed herself and died in the line of duty …"
"Died in the line of duty?!" Neuss looked at Dudian in disbelief.
Dudian's heart sank: "Tell me what happened."
Nuria knelt on the ground: "A big shot came to one of the locations where we were going to put the poison. Glenn was unfortunately discovered and killed on the spot."
Dudian's eyes were gloomy: "Which location?"
"The sixth task point of the city of Weite." Nuria answered.
Dudian thought for a moment and remembered this place. This place was dedicated to the military. It was one of the most dangerous points in the city. He was silent as he recalled the first time he met Glenn. At that time, he was still a primary hunter. He had assisted her to hunt the black weaver. Since then, they had formed a friendship. It was also because of this friendship that she was willing to follow him after the collapse of Mellon consortium. She didn't choose other old consortia.
He didn't expect that he would harm her this time.
The hall became silent as Dudian was silent.
Neuss looked at Dudian with a complex expression. He thought of Nuria and the anger in his heart found an outlet: "Why was Glenn the one who poisoned Glenn? Wasn't your task to assist her?!"
Nuria knelt on the ground: "Elder, Glenn said that it was too dangerous. She was worried that we wouldn't be able to deceive the eyes of the guards. I didn't expect …"
"How did she die?" Dudian's eyes were cold: "Do you remember the appearance of the person who killed her?"
Nuria hurriedly said, "This subordinate remembers it clearly. I also saw his medal. He was an officer of the military. He, he was lying in ambush at the place where Lady Glenn broke out of the ground. He waited for Lady Glenn to get out of the ground and then launched a sneak attack. He chopped off Lady Glenn's head with one slash …"
Dudian closed his eyes.
He could almost see the scene in front of him.
He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, "Have you completed the mission this time?"
Nuria hurriedly replied: "Reporting to my Lord, except for one location, all the other locations have been completed."
"Which location?"
"The fourth task point of the city of Florence."
"I know. You can go back."
Nuria was relieved as he saw that Dudian didn't punish him. He carefully got up and left.
Neuss clenched his fists after Nuria left: "Master, we can't let go of Glenn's death!"
"Before the start of the task I thought that they would be sacrificed and would encounter danger." Dudian's words startled Neuss. He looked at Dudian who was looking out of the window at the dark night sky: "But I didn't expect that she would be the one to be sacrificed."
Neuss was silent. Indeed, the task was to infiltrate the inner wall which was full of masters. It was a very dangerous task and it was natural that there would be sacrifices. But she was the one to be sacrificed.
He felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Does Glenn have any relatives?" Dudian looked at Neuss.
