The bright red blood was like a thin layer of grease, moving forward rapidly under Bloodman Odork's control.
Odork strode forward quickly while Emma Eddie followed behind. In order to catch up to Odork, she had to jog.
However, Emma Eddie wasn't worried at all.
She had just witnessed the benefits of the flowing blood. Any mechanism or trap would be discovered, and then corroded.
It wasn't a large area of corrosion.
All it had to do was corrode one or two key parts and the whole mechanism would be rendered useless.
It was as if the trigger of a complete gun had been removed.
A gun that couldn't fire bullets was even worse than a fire stick.
Looking at the thin layer of blood easily accomplishing many things that commoners couldn't, Emma Eddie's eyes couldn't help but show envy.
Who didn't want to be different?
Who didn't want to surpass mortals?
However, reality was always harsh and harsh.
In front of it, all illusions were fragile and could not withstand a single blow.
Huu!
Emma Eddie took a few deep breaths, tossing the unrealistic fantasy out of her mind and started to think about the situation before her eyes.
Death Knell's appearance didn't just make Emma Eddie feel like she was facing a formidable enemy, it also made her worry about her own fate and future.
As for Kieran?
Emma Eddie didn't have the slightest fondness for Kieran, she wished for this cold and gloomy bastard who used others as bait to die.
"Damn it!
"First it was Mr. Ghost, now it's Death Knell, are you going to provoke Grudge Dragon next?"
Although you are quite close with Fist of Justice, do you really think of yourself as a partner of justice? Do you really want to eradicate all the malignant tumors in Alkender City? "
"No, no!
How can a bastard like you be so kind?!
"There must be some kind of benefit driving you!"
But don't you know living is the most important thing?
Death Knell and Mr. Ghost are two completely different things! "
As Emma Eddie cursed in his heart, he was getting more and more worried.
Mr. Ghost was scary.
Because of his unpredictable mood and powerful strength.
Death Knell's terror came from its strict organization and mysteriousness.
Since Death Knell officially appeared in Alkender City ten years ago, until now, no one knew where this organization came from.
All he knew was their strength and the tattoos on their faces.
But …
What was even more terrifying were those without tattoos.
Those people were like spies lurking around you, making it impossible for you to distinguish them. Then, at the most crucial moment, they would give you a fatal blow.
Emma Eddie had heard similar news more than once during her years on the streets.
The leader of a certain gang or organization was killed by his own henchman.
Every time Emma Eddie heard about it, she would have goosebumps on her back.
The feeling of not being able to trust even the people closest to him was really terrible.
When Emma Eddie realized that she was about to fall into such a situation, she couldn't help but feel even angrier.
However, the rage didn't make Emma Eddie agitated or irritable.
A cold, dark feeling suddenly descended from the top of his head. Before Emma Eddie could get angry, he shivered.
"Stop!"
Emma Eddie called out to Bloodman Odork without a second thought.
Bloodman Odork was stunned, looking at Emma Eddie in confusion.
"Retreat!"
Without further explanation, Emma Eddie ran back to where she came from.
Cold sweat trickled down Emma Eddie's forehead and back.
Scary!
Too scary!
Ahead of her in the corridor, she felt an existence that she had never felt before, causing her to shiver.
That existence was like a monster with its mouth wide open. It waited there quietly, waiting for her to come closer, and then …..
It would swallow her whole!
"What is it?
Death Knell's men?
Or …? "
Emma Eddie's mind was spinning rapidly in panic.
This was Emma Eddie's special technique.
She would use more guesses to calm herself down faster.
But this time, it was different!
The more she guessed, the more panicked she became.
In the end, she realized her sprinting speed was getting slower and her body was getting weaker and weaker. Bloodman Odork was nowhere to be found.
"Illusions?"
Emma Eddie asked herself in hindsight.
There was no answer.
A pale hand was already gripping her neck and raising her high up.
The suffocation instantly made Emma Eddie's brain and body go out of control.
She tried her best to pry the hand off.
However, she realized she couldn't even move a finger.
"Am I dead?
Am I going to die here? "
"Fine …"
"I've been living like a wild dog, it's not a bad thing to die."
The lack of oxygen in her brain and the effects of the illusions weakened Emma Eddie's will to live.
The girl from the streets looked up, her eyes blurry, all she could do was look at the ceiling above her head helplessly.
At that very moment, the ceiling turned into a screen, replaying her life.
Her miserable childhood, being abandoned on the street corner, fighting with stray cats and dogs for leftovers.
Her rebellious youth, living like an idiot in order to show how extraordinary she was.
When he was young, he wanted to eat better, dress better, and own his own house. He didn't hesitate to take risks again and again.
In the end, she welcomed death.
"Despair, I'll compromise with you …"
"You … You win."
Emma Eddie uttered her last words with difficulty, as if she was saying her last words.
The voice was so weak that it couldn't be heard.
Even the person who wanted to take her life couldn't hear it.
But Kieran heard it.
So, Kieran came.
KABOOM!
The corridor's ceiling shattered.
Emma Eddie's flashy life was crushed as well.
With the blinding sunlight, Kieran descended from the sky and stomped on the head of the owner of the hand.
Bang!
The head was like a watermelon that was hit by a baseball bat.
Brain juice burst out.
Red and white, extremely dazzling under the sunlight.
What was more dazzling was that figure.
Emma Eddie looked at the figure against the light. The blinding sunlight prevented her from seeing the figure's face and expression, all she could see was the quiet shadow and the depth of the darkness.
And …
A calm voice.
"According to the deal, you are under my protection now."
'That annoying bastard.'
When Emma Eddie wandered back from the edge of death, the thought popped up in her heart. What followed was: that bastard's voice wasn't that bad.
Then, her vision cleared up.
Under the blinding sunlight, she looked at the faintly discernible face, another thought popping up in her heart: not that bad.
Then, her gaze at Kieran changed slightly.
Unfortunately, Kieran didn't care.
Or rather …
He was completely captivated by a certain person's actions.
"That place is your target as well?
What are you trying to do? "
Kieran muttered to himself before his figure merged into the shadows.
