From the very beginning, they had been spying in the darkness.
They had been attracted by the inconceivable explosions and witnessed such an inconceivable and violent scene. Their hearts were immersed in shock and trembling, and even … they felt a long-lost excitement.
They carefully concealed themselves and their auras, like a black cat strolling in the night.
They held their breaths and waited.
They withdrew all of their Origin Substances and even turned them into iron and stone. They hid, spied, and waited.
They finally found this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In that instant, the former Pharaoh's guard, the current bounty hunter, Bruce, nicknamed "Million Gold", made his move. A "golden bullet" worth as much as a million gold shot out from the muzzle of his gun.
It was a sure-kill shot!
No matter how strong one's intuition was, they would not be able to detect this killing intent that had already been condensed into a crystal before they saw it.
The moment the gunshot rang out, the result was already decided.
The bullet was already inches away.
Huai Shi's blade slashed down.
Immediately after, a boom swallowed everything.
The lightning in the storm flashed and engulfed the thin figure.
The terrifying thunder from the Berserk Brothers enveloped everything.
Dust rose into the air, and the storm spread out, sweeping in all directions. Immediately after, the ear-piercing sound of metal being twisted continuously rang out. It was as if something heavy was continuously rolling on the ground, and finally … it smashed into the pond in the plaza.
It was two twisted motorcycles.
There was also a stooped figure.
Bloody Night Sorrow Ghost.
In the collision, he was already covered in bruises. Who knew how many of his bones had been broken, and the wounds on his chest and back were countless. However, he still stubbornly protected his brother — — he held the unconscious Exploding Shuowei in his arms. Even when he fainted, he did not let go.
Bruce was stunned in place.
It was hard to understand how this could happen.
Immediately after, the storm filled with dust was cut apart … … under the cold slash of a sharp blade.
From the center of the collision, a slender figure slowly walked out. His long hair fluttered in the wind like flames.
From a long distance away, his pitch-black eyes looked up, like an empty abyss, and stared at the attacker in the distance. Bruce's expression froze on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He was actually … … unharmed!
His cold eyes instantly saw through the layers of disguise and saw the dark-skinned middle-aged man.
And the shotgun in his hand.
In the darkness, there seemed to be the meowing of countless cats. The fleeting silhouettes of the black cats circled around him, on his shoulders, feet, and even on his arms.
This was the proof of being blessed by the Cat God.
"Aiya, have we been discovered?"
The black man in the felt hat grinned, revealing a row of eye-catching and dazzling golden teeth. There was also an inelegant greeting branded on the golden teeth.
"This is … a miscalculation."
Even though the assassination had failed, he did not panic.
Just like that, he calmly pulled the bolt, reloaded, and loaded another golden bullet. Then, he carried the shotgun on his shoulder and hooked his finger at Miss Huai Zhi.
"Come on, Lady. Let me see what you're capable of. How much bounty can your head be exchanged for?"
Beneath his feet, the cats disappeared into the air one by one. Instead, a solemn and dignified vague shadow rose from behind him, as if looking at the world from the underworld, cold and ferocious.
When the petite appearance of a cat was removed, what was revealed was the ferocious nature of a hunter-type animal.
In the dead silence, Huai Shi silently took one step forward, two steps, and even three steps.
He walked towards the darkness where he was.
The smile on Bruce's face became more mocking and ferocious.
It's coming!
In the shadow under his feet, countless sharp outlines that only he could see emerged … … In this long lurking, the darkness where he was had been set up into a dangerous area full of traps.
It was a fortress belonging to the hunters.
From the beginning, he was in an invincible position!
At that moment, he heard Huai Shi's sigh.
"Idiot."
Then, the sound of something breaking through the air … … flashed and disappeared.
It burst out from Huai Shi's hand and ended behind his ear.
It was so fast and so exaggerated that he couldn't believe the scene he saw at this moment. In Huai Shi's hand, the curved Royal God Saber, which was swinging at will, unbelievably grew.
Bang!
The Blade of Hatred, which was originally four feet long, instantly made the sound of steel roaring. It was the sharp sound of countless iron crystals multiplying.
It welcomed the rapid extension, as fast as light.
It crossed over Bruce's meticulously designed trap and pierced through the muzzle of the shotgun. It easily tore through the barrel of the shotgun and slanted upwards, piercing through Bruce's jaw and entering his mouth. Then, it cruelly continued upwards …
It extended all the way from the felt hat at the back of his head.
… … Why is it … so long?
Bruce's last thought dissipated in the darkness.
Everything was over.
The blood-colored curse of hatred and endless thirst spread out, and in an instant, all struggles ended.
Then, the blade shrank back slightly by two inches, and as Huai Shi stepped forward, sweeping … … the clean and long-distance beheading was completed.
The Steel Crows jumped down from the branches excitedly, and swept away with the darkness of the Bone Burial Sanctum. Millions of Gold Bruce disappeared from the world.
Only the shotgun was left, which could barely be used as a voucher to exchange for the bounty.
With the disappearance of the Cat Goddess's projection, the originally ambiguous darkness was instantly visible. Then, a mess of traps and mechanisms emerged from it. Huai Shi's expression suddenly twitched.
If he accidentally went in, he would probably lose a layer of skin even if he didn't die.
Not to mention that there was an assassin like Bruce watching from the side.
After dismantling the messy traps and picking up the shotgun on the ground, Huai Shi turned back and looked at the end of the long street, "Mister, you have been watching for a long time, right? Do you want to fight? "
In the darkness before dawn, the short figure stood on the street.
His eyes drooped.
The Yingzhou robe was wet with wet dew and dripped on the clogs of his feet.
The slightly old man with a long sword looked short because his back was always stooped. If he could stand up straight, he must have a rare big body, right?
However, seeing the staff in his other hand, he should be able to understand.
He was blind.
He didn't sense any horrible killing intent or blood. The blind swordsman was like an ordinary iron stone, quiet and calm.
He didn't look like a murderer.
It was better to say that he was more like a traditional warrior of Yingzhou than Sasaki, full of restraint and seriousness.
Even if he was provoked by Huai Shi's murderous intent, he didn't have any displeasure. He still nodded firmly and apologized, "I was just curious about the sound. I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me."
After taking a few steps back, he turned and left.
Both sides were at peace.
Huai Shi's palm was faintly wet. In the brief confrontation, he felt a wonderful pressure. The blind man with the sword was a rare strong man.
There were not many people with such characteristics.
Huai Shi once heard it when chatting with Luo Lao in the orchard. The blind man with the sword could cause him such great pressure. He should be the Zatoichi in the description.
Although he didn't know which generation it was.
Unfortunately, it was almost dawn, and there was not enough time. Moreover, if the other party had no intention to fight, Huai Shi would be embarrassed to entangle with him.
It would be too funny if things went wrong.
In this way, he carried the shotgun and turned back to the ruins of the square. He looked down at the two brothers who were leaning on the broken flower bed.
He reached out and threw the shotgun to them.
The World Blood Night Sorrow was stunned for a long time and couldn't understand, "What do you want to do?"
Boiling Wei was also annoyed, "If you want to kill, just kill. Don't talk nonsense!"
"Just take it as … a thank you gift. It costs a lot of money to repair a car, right? "
Huai Shi turned back and looked at the crack on the ground behind him. The bent bat of the World Blood Night Sorrow, and … the bullet embedded in it.
Huai Shi had originally planned to use Shadow Burial Shuttle, but he didn't expect that the one who blocked the bullet for him in the end was his opponent.
"Tsk, a man's duel should be fair and square." Boiling Wei snorted unhappily, "Don't misunderstand. We're just despicable people who can't stand a sneak attack!"
Where did you guys get these tsundere characters from?
Huai Shi sighed.
A hearty battle had been interrupted. It truly made people feel unhappy, and they wanted to continue.
At that time, the pressure that the two brothers brought to him was really too pleasant. Unfortunately, sometimes, the two pressures couldn't be stacked.
Instead, they … interfered with each other.
Bruce's bullets had destroyed their tight alliance!
It was like a third party who rudely intervened in the battle, causing a huge flaw to appear in the perfect combination of the two brothers.
If he wanted to recreate it, there would be no second chance.
Although he felt that there was something wrong with the two guys' brains, unexpectedly, he couldn't hate them.
"It's over. Let's call it a day."
Huai Shi put away his sword and walked two steps. Suddenly, he turned back and asked, "By the way, how long have you been in Nara?"
"One week. What's wrong?" Although Exploding Cooking Wei's tone was still sharp, he still chose to answer honestly.
"Um, do you know where to have breakfast nearby?"
Miss Huai Shiki scratched her head awkwardly and rubbed her small hands, "After fighting for so long, I've digested everything. I'm a little hungry, and I left in a hurry. I didn't bring any money …"
"…"
"Oh, that's great!"
Miss Huai Shiki smiled brightly, "Please treat me!"
Was there a logic in this world that made people want to treat them after beating them up?
Boiling Wei's eyes twitched, and he started to feel that there was something wrong with this woman.
However, looking at that sweet smiling face, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Even though he knew that the other party was a threat, his heart still wavered.
The women outside were too scheming!
Big brother, let's go back to Edo …
.
.
Half an hour later, in the temporary office of the Nara news team of the Tomorrow News.
The pale-faced woman lit a cigarette. Behind her glasses, the two dark circles under her eyes looked like pandas. She looked at the series of battle reports on the big screen and couldn't help but sigh with a headache.
It was really like what Hu Po said. That guy was a woman with a paper bag …
He really was a Grade A!
No, to be able to kill Unclean Monk Guoying and Million Gold Bruce within an hour, as well as defeat the two hot-blooded Berserk Brothers who were completely different in style, this was already a Beyond Grade A.
Terrifyingly strong!
But why … was there no record of such a strong Ascender in their database?
Could it be that she was smuggled in from the border or hell?
That couldn't be right. Their database was directly connected to the Astronomical Association's customs, and they had countless intelligence channels. If there were any powerful characters in the world, they would know even earlier than the Central Bureau.
Then why … did they know nothing about her?
Could it be that this woman jumped out from some stone in the Ivory Tower?
"Awesome! You bastards have gone too far in slacking!"
As the chief editor, she couldn't stand it anymore. She turned around and scolded her team members, "After so long, this is all you give me? Paper bag, female, eighteen years old, a student of the Ivory Tower … and then? Who are her parents? What's her blood type? What kind of stigmata, what kind of background? What are the courses she enrolled in? Does she have a boyfriend or a girlfriend? What are her records in the Cooking Demon Competition?
Aside from the things that Hu Po handed over, there was nothing else to look at! There's no breaking news. How are you guys doing the news? "
"There's nothing I can do, Chief Editor Ji."
The team member who had stayed up all night felt helpless. "Our team only has this much access to the data. We can't access the higher level content, and the local investigation department can't find any clues. It's already not easy to find out so much."
Just as the two of them looked at each other, a smug laugh came from the side.
"Hohoho, is it time for me to show off my skills?"
The one who spoke was a man who was mopping the floor. He had his hands on his hips and laughed proudly, "I've already made a major breakthrough! Sure enough, it's time for the omnipotent detective to reveal the mystery! "
"… Detective, can you stop fooling around?"
The team member sighed helplessly, "You've only been here for less than two months. You haven't even gotten used to your job yet, so don't be in a hurry to show off. The news is very serious. "
"This is Tomorrow's News, detective. Don't joke around when it comes to work."
Chief Editor Ji Kuang turned around and stared sternly at the guy her ex-boyfriend had introduced … She felt that they were jackals of the same tribe.
They were both unreliable.
"I'm not trying to show off." The detective pushed up his glasses and waved his fingers proudly, "I just found a clue that you guys didn't notice!"
"…"
Ji Kuang sighed.
Forget it, let's not dampen this guy's enthusiasm.
Whether it was a mule or a horse, it had to be brought out for a walk. Holding the hope that this guy might really find something, she waved helplessly, "Tell me about it first. If you really find something, I'll go through the formalities for you to become a full-time employee today."
"Then, next, it's time to witness a miracle!"
The detective walked to the computer and quickly operated it. Then, he put a brand-new resume and file on the big screen, right next to Huai Zhisu's file.
The comparison was in the same place.
In the silence, Ji Kuang's face twitched, "Who is this?"
"Huai Shi, 18 years old, male, Inspector of Asia, Legendary Investigator, Prince of Paradise, Disaster Musician … Isn't it clearly written here?" The detective asked doubtfully, "Don't you know?"
"… I know, part of his file was even written by me. I know that you two used to know each other and are very close to Yoo Dong-ri. Please don't emphasize it anymore."
Ji Kuang rubbed her eyebrows, troubled, "But what does he have to do with Huai Zhisu?"
"No, don't you think the two of them are very similar?"
The detective asked seriously, pointing to the two completely different but equally eye-catching faces on the file, and said seriously, "When I first saw Huai Zhisu, I felt something was wrong. The more I looked at her, the more familiar she looked. It wasn't until just now that I remembered that she and Huai Shi are so similar!"
？？？
The corners of Ji Kuang's eyes twitched wildly, and she suppressed her thousands of question marks, "How are they similar? The genders are completely different! "
"How are they not similar?"
The detective argued in a loud voice, "Look, Huai Zhisu is very beautiful, and Huai Shi is also very beautiful. Huai Zhisu is a cooking demon, and Huai Shi is also a cooking demon. Huai Zhisu is very good at swordsmanship, and Huai Shi is also very good at swordsmanship. Huai Zhisu likes to chop heads, and Huai Shi likes to chop heads!"
The more he spoke, the more excited the detective became, and his eyes shone with excitement, "What's more coincidental is that the information said that Miss Huai Zhisu likes to seduce women, and so does Huai Shi!"
After that, he slammed the table and announced the result seriously:
"Q.E.D — Huai Zhisu is Huai Shi!"
"…"
Dead silence. Dead silence.
Everyone in the office was dumbfounded.
When they stared at the detective, they were full of admiration. Brother, how did you do such a fantastic idea?
Even an experienced and knowledgeable chief editor like Ji Kuang couldn't help but admire the detective's outrageous reasoning that could be described as uncanny workmanship.
At the same time, they were curious from the bottom of their hearts. How the hell did you have the nerve to call yourself a detective?
"After eliminating all the impossible options, the remaining one, no matter how incredible it is, is the truth! How is it? Isn't it amazing? Isn't it a genius deduction?! "
The detective threw his head back and laughed heartily. He was so immersed in his great discovery that he didn't notice the awkward atmosphere around him.
Ji Kuang raised his hand, pressed it to his forehead, and sighed to the sky.
How stupid was he to hope that the detective would be able to find clues?
"You'd better go do odd jobs …"
