"This way." Meg strained his ears to listen carefully as he sped through the alleys. Judging from the terrified scream, it was probably a young girl who had been frightened. To scream at this time in the slums of the northern part of the city, there was a high chance that she was in danger.
Meg moved very quickly and stopped at the intersection of an alley. Although he hadn't seen anyone yet, the scream was very close, so the person should be nearby.
"No … Don't come over, please don't come over …" A terrified female voice came from the side.
"I think it's behind here." Amy had already taken out her magic caster's staff and excitedly pointed to the alley on the right.
"Yes, it's in this direction." Meg nodded and put Amy on the ground, then walked quickly into the alley with light footsteps.
At this moment, a petite black shadow suddenly flitted silently over the high wall to the side. It flashed past Meg and jumped down the high wall like a kitten.
"You …"
A terrified male voice came from the other end of the alley, followed by the crisp sound of a sharp weapon hitting the wall.
However, the sound of fighting suddenly stopped, followed by a dull thud on the ground, accompanied by a terrified scream.
"Ah —"
Meg turned into the alley with Amy and saw a tall beastman lying on the ground with his pants half off. He was holding his gurgling throat with his hand, and his eyes were wide open. He was no longer breathing. The fatal wound was the wound on his heart.
It was a very clean and professional killing method. Although the beastman reacted, he still couldn't put up any effective resistance.
And in the corner, a young girl in disheveled clothes was curled up in a corner, trembling. The petite figure had her back to Meg and the others, and a few drops of blood dripped from the sharp claws in her fist. She looked at the girl a little embarrassedly and comforted, "Are you okay? The bad guy is dead. I should be the good guy. "
The girl was stunned when she heard this. She looked up at her, and her fear was reduced by half.
"Huh?" Meg looked at the familiar figure in black clothes and the pinkish-white beast ears, a little surprised.
"Sister Connie, why are you here? Did you get lost again? "Ai Mi asked with a surprised expression.
"Boss, Xiaomi! Why are you here? " The petite female orc turned around and looked at Meg and Amy with an even more surprised expression. She said awkwardly, "I … I just came out for a walk. I'm not lost."
"Really? I almost believed him. We passed by here on our way home. " Amy said, then glanced at the orc on the ground. "But the bad guys were all killed by you, so we won't have any bad guys to fight. What a pity."
"We were passing by the alley outside and heard the girl's screams, so we chased after her." Meg said. He took off his coat and walked up to the human girl curled up in the corner.
The girl looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her clothes had been violently torn, and there was a red handprint on her pale face. He gently covered her with his coat and said softly, "Little girl, you don't have to be afraid. I'm Meg, the owner of Mamy's. This is my daughter, Amy. The girl who saved you is an employee of our restaurant.
Let's take her home. "The warm coat immediately drove away the cold and the embarrassment caused by her torn clothes. The girl looked up at Meg. This uncle's smile looked so gentle, and there was also a cute little angel-like girl beside him. The fear in her heart was greatly reduced.
Also … Mamy's? Wasn't that the super famous restaurant? Was this uncle the owner of those restaurants?
"Yes." The girl slowly stood up with the help of the wall. She reached out and grabbed her collar. Her pale face was still filled with fear, and her eyes avoided the orc corpse lying on the ground.
"Let's go. Let's leave this place first." Meg turned sideways to shield the girl from the corpse on the ground. With the help of the gentle light from Amy's magic caster's staff, he led the girl to the street outside.
Connie kept her claws, and quickly caught up with Meg and the rest, afraid that she would fall behind.
"What's your name? Where do you live? "Meg asked gently as he walked to the girl's right.
The girl pointed ahead, and softly said, "Kelly, I live in front. We'll reach it after turning three alleys."
"Alright, you don't have to be afraid. That bastard deserved to die. We'll send you to your door." Meg looked at the girl who was still trembling slightly, and felt a little upset. Even in Chaos City, there were still girls who faced all kinds of illegal acts.
"I … I shouldn't have gone out at night. I only wanted to buy a candy for my little brother …" Kelly said with a sobbing voice.
"Kelly, it's not your fault. It's those scumbags who use the darkness to do evil." Meg stopped in his tracks, and looked into Kelly's eyes. "It's your freedom to go out at night. It's not a reason for those scumbags to hurt you."
Kelly looked into Meg's eyes. She was a little lost, but also a little touched. She had never heard anyone talk to her like that. It was just like the teachings she had always heard: Wrap yourself up tightly, and don't go out at night …
It was as if all the crimes were because they wore skirts that exposed their calves, or because they didn't return home before the sky turned dark.
"Yes. Skirts are so pretty. Why can't you wear them? The stars at night are so beautiful. You won't be able to see them if you stay at home. "Amy nodded in agreement." As for the bad guys, just kill them all. "
Kelly looked at Amy's confident look, and couldn't help feeling envious. She didn't even have such courage.
"But there seem to be quite a lot of scumbags like that here. I've already met many of them these past few days," Connie interrupted.
Kelly was silent. Living in the slums, she often heard the unfortunate stories of girls. A weak girl like her had no ability to fight back when faced with invaders from other races.
"Don't worry. This situation will definitely change. Let the girls wear skirts and go out at ease, and see the beautiful night sky and stars." Meg said with a smile. He already had some ideas in his mind. Since the city lord's castle couldn't manage the safety of the slums at night, then it was up to him to do something.
He sent Kelly to the door. Just as she was about to knock, the door was opened. A two to three-year-old boy wobbled into Kelly's arms, and called her sister in a childish voice.
"Here, have some candy." Kelly loosened her clenched fist, and passed a very ordinary cane candy to the little boy.
"Candy." The little boy happily grabbed the candy and licked it.
"Kelly, what's wrong? Who are they? " A middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man quickly walked out of the room. Seeing Kelly in a coat, with messy hair and a red handprint on her face, they quickly shielded her behind them and stood in front of Meg and the others.
