Chapter 328 Arrival (Congratulations to the sun and moon in the pot and the universe in my sleeves!)
Commonwealth year 668, April 1.
Business at the Whisperer Bar is bleak.
The entire bar was empty, with few customers.
Zhong Shenxiu quite liked the current atmosphere. He stood quietly behind the bar, mixed himself a glass of Bloody Mary, and tasted it slowly.
A graceful but somewhat tired figure walked in from the door, it was Julie.
"In view of the recent deterioration of public security in Byron, the city hall has issued a curfew. No one, except public servants, is allowed to go out at night..."
She sat lightly in front of the bar: "Not only that... I heard that the federal Congress is preparing to introduce stricter prohibition laws and even give prohibition agents unlimited law enforcement powers... This means that they can arrest anyone with suspicion. Or even shoot him directly... Your bootlegging business is about to be over."
"It doesn't matter to me. After all, I can stop it after I've made enough money... Then I can switch to other businesses. With these primitive accumulations, I might become a certain chaebol in the future."
Zhong Shenxiu said nonchalantly: "But such a strict law is abnormal at first glance. It is obvious that the church is pushing it behind the scenes?"
"Of course. After all, Si Sui and the Lord of Black Blood are mortal enemies! The Federation will not allow the Lord of Black Blood to expand his influence through alcohol..."
Julie shook her head.
After all, the Mesoemia Federation is not a completely secular force. In other words, those extraordinary people hidden behind the scenes are the foundation.
Therefore, the policy is completely different from some examples in Zhong Shenxiu’s memory.
Even though there were problems with the early implementation of the alcohol prohibition, it continued to be implemented with a tougher attitude.
Maybe next time the mysterious man will be the prohibition agent.
At this moment, both of them looked at the door thoughtfully.
A deep darkness emerged, and a translucent figure walked out of it.
It's Angel!
She was wearing a snow-white dress, and her spirituality was overflowing. She had obviously become an 'extraordinary person'. Upon seeing this, she pouted her mouth dissatisfiedly: "It's not interesting at all. I thought you would be surprised."
She's become more and more fond of coming to the Whisperer since her last reveal.
Even, he is not afraid to reveal the fact that he has received mysterious support and been promoted to become an extraordinary person.
"welcome."
Zhong Shenxiu responded with a smile, mixed a glass of Bloody Mary and handed it over.
Angel narrowed her eyes with a smile, took the cocktail, and expressed her progress and excitement in mysticism to the two of them like a proud primary school student.
"The Skinning Club... I have never heard of this organization that worships the Lord of Black Blood, but from your description, the other party is very powerful. Maybe it is the pseudonym of some ancient organization... This is very dangerous."
Julie couldn't help but warn.
Well, with the help of Zhong Shenxiu, the two of them also confessed some information to each other before, and each knew that the other was not an ordinary person.
"I know, but I think they are pretty nice people. They didn't restrict me in any way. Instead, they taught me a lot of knowledge very kindly..."
Angel replied disapprovingly: "Also...isn't Levi also a believer in the Lord of Black Blood? Maybe you can try to buy high-level knowledge in the field of boiling blood from me!"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it at the moment."
Zhong Shenxiu listened with a smile as Angel chattered about waiting until he broke through the pure white wilderness and then looking for Alice.
Julie held her chin with her right hand and suddenly sighed: "It's great to be young..."
"Has your investigation made any progress?"
Zhong Shenxiu asked, handing over a plate of fruit.
"No...the atmosphere in Byron City has been strange recently...many strangers have poured in...Maybe the clockmaker and the old drunkard just offended people they shouldn't have, and were silenced...and this kind of randomness is very random. Murder cases are often the hardest to solve, even if mysterious means are used to track them down..."
Because the other party is also a mysterious person, with a certain degree of anti-divination and anti-prophecy resistance.
For example, given Zhong Shenxiu's current rank, it would be possible to discover any clues about him unless some 'perfectionists' who were good at divination took action.
After a pleasant conversation, Angel walked out of the bar with a happy face after drinking a few drinks.
"Well, today is another happy day."
“The food in the club is delicious and the wine in the bar is delicious…”
"Boss Levi is a very nice person. Maybe I can give him some mysterious knowledge. They are all followers of the Lord of Black Blood. It should be very useful to him."
"And Alice, after I become the 'Excellent', I can completely get rid of the constraints and pursue my own freedom."
Although there is a curfew, it is obviously not difficult for an 'extraordinary person'.
Angel tugged on the bow on her collar, and a layer of darkness emerged, hiding her in it.
This is a gadget given to her by the club. At least ordinary people will definitely not be able to see through this layer of disguise, which can make it easier for members to move.
"I don't know why, but since last time, I have become more fond of coming here... Could it be that I have fallen in love with Levi?"
Angel's mind was filled with thoughts that made her blush and make her heart beat. She was about to return to school when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
In the sky, there seemed to be a black shadow passing by.
She suddenly looked up and saw a monster standing on the top of the building not far away!
It has a human torso, but its limbs are covered with blood-red hair, and there is a pair of ugly flesh wings on its back.
The ears are very pointed, and the nose has been completely corroded, leaving only two black holes. Above the ugly face, the tongue sticks out like a long worm, and another mouthpart is split at the end, which is full of sharp saw teeth. .
"What kind of monster is this? A vampire?!"
Angel suddenly felt that her soul was shaken by powerful fear, and she couldn't even move her fingers.
And the layer of darkness that protects the body obviously cannot block the monster's prying eyes.
"Blood Key?"
At this moment, a cold voice came from the side.
Angel turned her head in surprise and saw a silver-haired gentleman wearing a mask. She recognized him as the organizer of the club - Richardson! A talkative and tolerant old man.
"help me!"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Angel's eyes.
Richardson didn't look at her, he just looked at the disgusting monster and sighed: "Has the 'Blood Key' followed the mysterious induction and come here?"
"After the ceremony begins, the keys of blood, flesh, and bone will be mysteriously affected and automatically come together!"
"And the fact that it will come over instead of the girl coming over means that the aggregation power here is stronger... so the 'Key to Flesh' is also here."
"When the Triforce gathers together, the Sixth Blood Cup War begins in Byron City!"
Richardson told a horrific fact in a chant-like tone.
Although Angel couldn't quite understand what she was hearing, she intuitively had a premonition that something terrible was about to happen, and her heart couldn't help but fall into the abyss...
