Federation Year 668, April 1st.
The Whisperer Bar's business was bleak.
The entire bar was empty. There were only a few customers.
Chung Shen-soo enjoyed the current atmosphere. He stood quietly behind the bar, mixed himself a glass of Bloody Mary, and slowly tasted it.
A graceful but somewhat tired figure walked in from the door. It was Julie.
"Due to the recent deterioration of public security in Byron City, the City Hall has issued a curfew. No one is allowed to go out at night except for public servants …"
She lightly sat in front of the bar. "Not only that … I heard that the Federation Congress is going to introduce a stricter prohibition law, and even give the prohibition agents unlimited law enforcement power … This means that they can arrest anyone who is suspicious, and even shoot to death … Your illicit alcohol business is about to be finished."
"I don't care. Anyway, I can stop when I've made enough money … After that, I can switch to other businesses. With this primitive accumulation, who knows, I might become a tycoon in the future."
Chung Shen-soo said indifferently, "But such a strict law is obviously abnormal. It's obviously driven by the Church behind the scenes?"
"Of course. After all, Si Sui and the Master of Black Blood are mortal enemies! The Federation will not allow the Master of Black Blood to expand his influence through alcohol … "
Julie shook her head.
After all, the Mesopotamian Federation was not a completely secular force. In other words, the Extraordinaires hiding behind the scenes were the foundation.
Therefore, the policy was completely different from some of the examples in Chung Shen-soo's memory.
Even if there were problems in the early implementation of the prohibition, it would continue to implement it with a tougher attitude.
Perhaps, the next time, it would be a mysterious person acting as a prohibition agent.
At this moment, both of them sensed something and looked at the door.
A deep darkness appeared, and a translucent figure walked out of it.
It was Angel!
She was dressed in snow-white clothes, and her spirituality was overflowing. Clearly, she had become a Beyonder. Upon seeing the situation, she pouted in dissatisfaction. "It's not interesting at all. To think that I thought you would be shocked."
Since the last time she revealed something, she became more and more fond of coming to the Whisperer Bar.
She was even not afraid to reveal the fact that she had received mysterious support and had become an Extraordinaire.
"Welcome."
Chung Shen-soo responded with a smile, mixed a glass of Bloody Mary and handed it over.
Angel smiled until her eyes were squinted. She took the cocktail, and like a proud primary school student, she expressed her excitement and progress in mysticism to the two of them.
"The Skinning Club … I've never heard of this organization that worships the Blackblood God, but based on your description, they're extremely powerful. Perhaps it's an alias of some ancient organization … This is very dangerous."
Julie couldn't help but warn.
Previously, under Chung Shen-soo's matchmaking, the two of them had confessed some information to each other, and they both knew that the other was not an ordinary person.
"I know, but I think they're not bad people. They didn't restrict me or anything. Instead, they were very friendly and taught me a lot of knowledge …"
Angel replied disapprovingly, "Also … isn't Li Wei also a follower of the Blackblood Master? Perhaps you can try to buy high-tier Blood Boiling Realm knowledge from me! "
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it right now."
Chung Shen-soo smiled as he listened to Angel chatter on about finding Alice after they broke through the Pure White Wilderness.
Julie rested her chin on her right hand and suddenly sighed. "It's good to be young …"
"Have you made any progress in your investigation?"
Chung Shen-soo asked as he handed her a plate of fruits.
"No … The atmosphere in Byron City has been very strange recently … many strangers have come in … perhaps the clockmaker and the old drunkard offended someone they shouldn't have and were killed … and these kinds of random murders are often the hardest to solve, even if we use mysterious methods to investigate …"
Because the other party was also a mysterious person, he had a certain resistance to divination and anti-prophecy.
For example, with Chung Shen-soo's current cultivation base, only a 'Perfectionist' who was proficient in divination would be able to discover any traces of him.
After a pleasant conversation, Angel, who had drunk a few glasses, walked out of the bar with a joyful expression.
"Mm, today is another happy day."
"The food in the club is delicious, and the alcohol in the bar is delicious …"
"Boss Li Wei is a good person. Perhaps I can give him some mystical knowledge. They're all followers of the Blackblood King, so it should be very useful to him."
"And Alice, after I become a Transcendent, I can completely break free and pursue the freedom that belongs to me."
Although there was a curfew, it was clearly not a problem for a 'Beyonder'.
Angel tugged at the bow on her collar, and a layer of darkness appeared, concealing her within.
This was a little toy given to her by the club. At the very least, ordinary people would definitely not be able to see through this layer of disguise, making it easier for the members to move around.
"I don't know why, but ever since the last time, I've liked coming here even more … Could it be that I've fallen for Li Wei?"
The thoughts that made her blush and her heart race echoed in Angel's mind. Just as she was about to return to school, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
In the sky, there seemed to be a black shadow flitting past.
She suddenly raised her head and saw a monster standing on top of a building not far away!
It had the torso of a human, but its limbs were covered in blood-red fur. On its back was a pair of ugly wings made of flesh.
Its ears were very sharp, and its nose had been completely corroded, leaving only two black holes. On its ugly face, its tongue extended out like a long worm. At the end of its mouth, there was another mouth that was filled with sharp teeth.
"What monster is this? A vampire?! "
Angel suddenly felt that she was intimidated by a powerful fear. She couldn't even move her fingers.
And the layer of darkness that protected her clearly could not prevent the monster from peeping.
"Blood Key?"
At this moment, a cold voice came from the side.
Angel turned her head in pleasant surprise and saw a silver-haired gentleman wearing a mask. She recognized him as the club's organizer — Richardson! A talkative and tolerant old man.
"Save … save me!"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Angel's eyes.
However, Richardson did not look at her. He only looked at the disgusting monster and sighed. "Has the 'Blood Key' already followed the mysterious response and arrived here?"
"After the ritual begins, the keys of blood, flesh, and bone will be mysteriously affected and will automatically gather together!"
"Moreover, it will come here, and not this girl. This means that the power of convergence here is stronger … Therefore, the 'Flesh Key' is also here."
"The power of the triangle has gathered, and the sixth Blood Cup War will begin in Byron City!"
Richardson used a tone that sounded like he was chanting and revealed a terrifying truth.
Although Angel did not really understand, her intuition told her that something terrible was about to happen. Her heart could not help but sink into the abyss …
