"Something … seems to have happened outside?"
Inside the Whisperer Bar, Chung Shen-soo, who was mixing drinks, suddenly took out a meatball from his pocket.
At this moment, the meatball, which he had obtained from Daly the Glutton and had frightened with his bloodline power, began to squirm slowly on its surface, as if it was about to grow tentacles.
"It's acting strangely?"
Chung Shen-soo could sense that the meatball wasn't mutating by itself, but had been stimulated by some external influence.
"Looks like … something bad has happened?"
His spiritual intuition suddenly had a premonition.
After all, he wasn't a god, and his Mystery rank was only that of an Ascendant.
If something happened to someone like Julie, he would naturally be able to sense it.
But if it was too far away, he wouldn't be able to sense anything. It could only be his own spirituality warning him.
In fact, people who didn't value him too much wouldn't have such a strong spiritual warning.
"It shouldn't be Jones and the others. Although I don't value them too much, they are still related to this body by blood. This is a very important connection in mysticism …"
Chung Shen-soo quickly eliminated possibilities. "It's not Julie either …"
"Could it be someone from the School, or Alice and Angel?"
Just as he thought of this, he saw Angel, who had left earlier, return.
She was still wearing that white dress. Her face was adorable, like an angel.
"Can I have another cocktail, please? The Twelve Zodiac Signs? "
Angel sat at the bar and gave Chung Shen-soo a sweet smile.
"Of course …"
Chung Shen-soo smiled and raised the shaker.
"Outside of the Twelve Zodiac Signs, there's actually another cocktail I like the most. I've named it Mojito!"
His palm turned into a blur as he took out white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and peppermint. His hands moved quickly and soon mixed two cups of Mojito. He placed one in front of Angel.
"It's refreshing and has a faint sense of transcendence … It's really good. After drinking your wine, I won't have any regrets in my life …"
Angel took a sip of the Mojito, and a happy smile appeared on her face. "As if! I haven't experienced a sweet love yet … "
Although she was smiling, two drops of tears had already flowed down.
At this moment, Julie, who saw this scene, also felt that something was wrong. "You …"
The next moment, under Julie's horrified gaze, Angel's body turned into a patch of white. The lines gradually blurred and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Vengeful spirit?!"
Julie sucked in a cold breath.
"It's impossible for a Leveled One whose soul has undergone a qualitative change to turn into a Vengeful Spirit after death. Of course, she's not one of them. She's just a spirit that exists for a very short period of time … Even so, her obsession can't support such an action. It seems like she's been affected by some high-grade item."
Zhong Shenxiu sighed. She picked up the other cup of mojito and gently took a sip, letting the refreshing and transcendent taste flow down her throat.
"Wait …"
Julie's expression changed. "That's not the point. Angel was fine when she left. How did she become a ghost?"
"Of course it's because … she's dead!"
Along with these words, the scholarly Holy Grail Chalsk and the masked Richardson walked into the bar together.
Behind Chalsk, the bloodsucking monster that Mesley had transformed into stood quietly like a tamed beast.
But Chung Shen-soo did not look at him. Instead, he looked at Richardson.
In Richardson's palm, there was a piece of white bone. There were traces of blood-colored patterns spreading on it.
Even Julie could clearly sense Angel's aura from that piece of bone.
"Bone Key?"
Chung Shen-soo thought for a moment and said, "You're the mastermind behind the Skin Flaying Club. You opened the club and selected a large number of people to enter just to select those qualified to carry the Bone Key?"
"Yes, I'm Richardson!"
The masked gentleman smiled and bowed.
Chalsk also had a smile on his face. He wore a luxurious robe with a complicated cup-shaped imprint on it. He introduced himself. "Holy Grail Chalsk … I've brought the Blood Key!"
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed his old palm against the chest of the bloodsucking monster behind him.
The eyes of the monster that Mesley had transformed into completely lost its light. Like a puppet, it allowed Chalsk to insert his palm into its chest and pull out a blood-red metal cup from where its heart should be.
Seeing this, Julie suddenly felt a little nauseous.
She suddenly understood how the white bone in Richardson's hand had come about.
Chung Shen-soo also felt that when the Bone Key and Blood Key appeared, the ball of flesh in his hand immediately became more active.
"Blood, Flesh, and Bone Ritual?"
He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Who sent the Flesh Key into Daly the Glutton's body?"
"It was the Gourmet Saniel!"
Richardson said with a smile. "But we didn't want him to join us, so we chose some suitable opponents for him, such as … the city's priest, the two archbishops of the Church of Seven Nanans, and the Special Affairs Bureau … In this regard, that hidden little friend has been of great help to us!"
"It's over!"
Outside the bar, the probationary investigator, Loncor, who was eavesdropping, had a look of despair on his face as he saw several disgusting monsters surrounding him.
These were the members of the Church of the Cup Chaser. At this moment, all of them had turned into hounds with their heads blown off.
Loncor trembled as he took out his gun, but he had no idea who to shoot.
"Idiot!"
At this moment, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded. "I will hold them off for you. Hurry up and alert the Special Affairs Bureau!"
Not far away, Cardilla controlled a ritual and secretly gritted her teeth. "If I don't let more forces join and muddy the waters, how can I obtain the Holy Grail?"
…
A small matter outside the bar could not attract the attention of the three powerhouses at this moment.
Chung Shen-soo took a sip of Mojito. No matter how the ball of flesh in his hand struggled, it could not escape.
"I didn't expect this city to have a high-level servant of the Master of Black Blood. As expected, the attraction of mysterious power is the highest law. Then … let the three of us start the ritual!"
Chalsk opened his hands and said with a hint of excitement. "Offer all the flesh and blood of this city to the Master of Black Blood, summon the Holy Grail, and let it overflow with the blood of immortality!"
"The location of the sixth Blood Cup War is actually here?"
Next to him, the invisible Julie shrank in the corner, feeling her body trembling. "Why am I so unlucky? No … I should say, why did I come back? My Master … "
"You are very smart!"
Chung Shen-soo slowly finished his cocktail. "Hide the three keys in different people, and even block all probing … Then kick out the possibly strongest gourmet, Sanil …"
"Actually, I don't care about the Blood Cup War at all. If you did this in another city, I might be happy to see it happen. After all, it would be one more target to hunt …"
As he said the words that the two "perfectionists" could not understand, he thought of Angel's last smile.
"But …"
Chung Shen-soo's tone suddenly became cold. "Do you know that this city is under my protection? Did you ask for my permission before you caused trouble here? "
