The newcomer was wearing a large black robe that completely covered his entire body, as if blending into the surrounding night. The cloak covered his head and face, with only a few strands of long red hair like flames hanging down from the edge, clustered around his white chin.
"Eye Demon..." Simone muttered to himself.
This is the nickname of the man in black robe in front of him. The man in black robe told Simone this title when they met last time.
"Hehe..." The Eye Demon smiled with an ambiguous meaning. From the dark shadow of his cloak, a sharp gaze seemed to be examining Simone. After a moment, he slowly said, "How is the atmosphere of this Eastern Martial Arts Exchange Tournament? Is it the same old routine?"
"The atmosphere is great. The Evil Eye Fist has invested a lot of money in hosting the Eastern Martial Arts Exchange Tournament. Whether it's the venue, accommodation, food, or performances, everything has been arranged very well."
Simone answered the question. He thought that the Eye Demon might want to get some information about the internal process of the Eastern Martial Arts Exchange Tournament through him. However, the Eye Demon did not ask more questions. After hearing Simone's answer, he just nodded and said "hmm".
"Wait, the same old thing... Have you ever participated in the Eastern Martial Arts Exchange Competition?" Simone reacted and suddenly asked.
"It was a long time ago, many years ago..." The Eye Demon's voice was very clear and clean, not hoarse or low at all. But the tone of his voice inexplicably carried a sense of vicissitudes of life that had gone through many things. There was a strong contrast with the voice of a teenager.
"..." Simone looked at the Eye Demon and felt that he didn't seem to be faking it. When they met a few times before, they talked about the Eastern Secret Martial Arts World. The Eye Demon seemed to be very familiar with the rules and consensus within the Secret Martial Arts World. It seemed that he was once a disciple of a certain school, but later joined a mysterious organization.
Hiding in the secret martial world, walking in deeper darkness.
"Don't look at me like that. I won't lie to you about this to win your favor. Although I admire your understanding and talent, I don't want to have them." The Eye Demon took a step and walked over slowly: "Also, I think I need to explain it more clearly. You need to recognize your position..."
"It's not that our sect urgently needs you, but you urgently need our sect. I just can't bear to see a genius who may grow up in the future unable to continue to advance in the martial arts because of his deformed body. As for you, it must be painful to feel that you are capable but dare not cross that threshold. This is more sad than not being able to cross that threshold. God has given you unparalleled talent, but has restricted you to a deformed and useless body. Are you really willing to stay like this?"
The Eye Demon walked to the front of Simone step by step. This was the closest they had ever been, only one meter apart. The dim light from the park street lamps in the distance was dimly projected, covering most of the Eye Demon's cloak. Simone suddenly discovered that a wide black cloth bandage completely covered the eye sockets of the Eye Demon's eyes on the bridge of his nose. Judging from the thickness of the cloth, the eyes could not see through the bandage to see the scene outside. Is the Eye Demon blind
Where did that sharp gaze I felt before come from
"You... you can't see?!" Simone frowned.
“Hehe…” The Eye Demon suddenly laughed: “No, I can see, even more clearly than you. Although I lost my two physical eyes, I still have two brighter eyes.”
He stretched out a pale, slender hand and gently tapped the left chest. "One eye is here, and another eye is here." His five fingers finally stopped at his side, resting on the hilt of a metal sword, rubbing it for a while.
The moment the Eye Demon pulled out his arm, the cloak fell down.
Simone glanced at the long sword, the blade was wrapped in a scabbard, only the cross-shaped metal spiral hilt was exposed, there were bronze branches like tree branches on both sides, and at the end was a spherical accessory for balance, carved into a weird eyeball shape.
He didn't know if it was an illusion or the light from the street lamp was a little blurry. He saw the eyeball-shaped metal ball seemed to light up, flashing a red light. It moved like a human eyeball, casting a cold gaze at Simone.
Simeone suddenly felt uncomfortable, but it took him a few seconds to calm down. He calmed down, thought for a moment and said.
"Of course I know that I need you, but I don't even know what kind of organization the Gate is. You have to explain it to me in detail first. Also, I need an effective plan on how to solve my physical problem."
The Eye Demon "looked" at Simone and nodded slightly.
Next, the two had some detailed exchanges near the white stone fountain in the square. It can be seen that the Eye Demon actually admired Simeone very much. So when faced with some of his questions, he patiently gave brief answers one by one.
"There is actually such an organization in the world... Every core member is at least at the fighter level... How come I have never heard of it before?" Simone was secretly shocked and felt in awe of such a huge force like the Gate Organization that spans the world.
According to the Eye Demon, except for the leader Xia Du, no one knows how terrifying the combined power of the Gate Organization around the world is. However, the Eye Demon has personally experienced for decades that there are at least more than two dozen core members in the entire Red Li Federation. Usually they are scattered all over the Federation, either in seclusion, exploring ruins, or developing their own secondary forces.
They are relatively low-key, and most of the time their whereabouts are out of touch with the local secret martial arts world, so they are not very famous.
As time passed, Simeone listened and thought.
Splash, splash... Clear water fell from the top of the white stone fountain, falling into the circular stone plate like flowers scattered by a fairy. The Eye Demon stretched out a hand and wiped the water line falling from the air with a handkerchief. Then he reached to his waist and cleaned the hilt of the sword.
Rub the metal eyeballs carefully until they are smooth and shiny.
"So, after hearing all this, what is your choice?"
He lowered his head and turned sideways to Simone, as if he was looking at the sword carefully, but not taking it seriously.
"Of course I joined. Do I have any choice? When I asked for details about the organization, I had no other choice. You were cleaning the sword, intending to kill me the moment I refused, right?"
Simeone looked directly at the Eye Demon and spoke quietly. He had a clear mind and was not the kind of naive player who was led by others. Simeone knew the situation and knew the limits.
"Hahaha… "
After hearing this, the Eye Demon laughed. His snow-white teeth were vaguely revealed. They were very neat, but the shape was a bit weird. Like a row of sharp shark teeth.
In short, they don't look like human teeth at all.
"Simone, you are very smart. This is what I admire about you besides your talent and understanding. What you said is right, but there is still one thing wrong. If it were a member of another sect, what you said would be correct. However, my personality is more domineering. In other words, from the moment you came to the appointment and stepped into Saka Park, you had no choice..."
"Join us or die..."
The Eye Demon raised his head again, and the wide hem of his cloak blocked the cross sword, revealing only the slight protrusion of the hilt.
Simeone said without commenting on this statement.
"You can join, but it will be a little later. After I win the Eastern Martial Arts Exchange Tournament and deal with the relationship with the Cloud Dog Fist, I will go with you." He stared at the splashes of the fountain.
"Okay." The Eye Demon nodded. "Also, I have good news for you. It's the right time for you to join us. There will be a big event in the near future that will allow you to quickly obtain core membership. You don't have to work hard and wander around looking for fragments..."
"Oh?" Simone hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know..."
Just as he was about to speak, the Eye Demon had already understood Simeone's thoughts: "It's okay to tell you, it's just a relatively important piece of news. Whether you can get it depends on whether you are strong enough at that time. Of course, I will try my best to help you."
He paused for a moment, then spoke.
"Donghai County, coastal Anta City, Anta Mountains. The Black Rain Villa that disappeared forty years ago is about to be reopened!"
"That's a good place, there are good things in it." Eye Demon smiled and sighed, and there seemed to be a hint of greed in his tone. He didn't elaborate, but it had already aroused Simone's strong interest. Because, the good things that a powerful fighter like Eye Demon wanted to get were naturally very precious.
Simeone opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps were heard in the darkness of the distant woods. The Eye Demon turned his head slightly, as if sensing something. He immediately waved to Simone and said, "I have something to do here. You go back first. I'll find you if there's anything else."
"Yeah." Simone glanced at the woods with a hidden look, then turned around and walked quickly back in the direction he came from.
"Tatttatt..."
In the darkness, the frequency of footsteps seemed a little chaotic and awkward.
Two seconds later, a man with disheveled clothes and blood on his face appeared under the street light. When he saw the Eye Demon, he immediately ran over, panting, and was out of breath.
"What's going on?"
The Eye Demon frowned and glanced at the blood stains on the man's clothes. It was obvious that something unexpected had happened.
"My Lord! The Black Agency has found our base in Mia City and has gathered a lot of forces! We have suffered heavy casualties, and it is very likely that I will be the only one left!"
The man said with a panicked look on his face, and the more he spoke, the uglier the beholder's expression became. Finally, his brows furrowed deeply and locked.
"You said that you are the only one of us left in Mia City, right?" He turned his head slightly and looked at the panicked man.
“Should… should be.”
"Idiot!" The Eye Demon raised his lips in a cold arc, and his right hand swiped in the air, leaving a shadow. His two fingers were like the sharp tip of a sword, directly cutting the man's throat.
"Big...ho...man...ho..."
The man's eyes widened, and he covered his throat with his hands. There was a sound of air leaking from his mouth, and blood could not be stopped from flowing between his fingers.
"You didn't even know you were being followed. You're such a loser!"
The beholder lowered his arm and dipped his fingertips into the fountain to clean them. Then, he wiped his nails with a soft handkerchief.
"You actually let those mad dogs of the Black Agency find my location. You deserve to die." He looked forward indifferently. The man's clothes on his chest were completely soaked with blood, and he fell to the ground weakly. His life slipped away bit by bit.
The moonlight was as cold as frost, covering everything in Saka Park with a layer of soft white gauze. The gridded floor tiles, the tree leaves, the white stone fountain, the roundabout. Only the red dot on the ground was so bright and dazzling, gradually spreading outward.
Whoosh... clatter...
The autumn wind blows, and the leaves rub against each other, making a rustling sound.
The hem of the Eye Demon's wide windbreaker also lifted up, revealing a metal cross sword at his side and a white hand holding the hilt. He turned his face to the woods where the man had walked all the way.
"Since you don't want to show up, I'll force you to come out!"
Shining!!!
The cross sword was unsheathed in an instant, and a terrifying whistling sound came from the air, and a violent wind pressure rushed over. After the strong wind, there was a huge black flame chain saw sword light.
The black light glided past like a wave, swallowing up the moonlight.
Bang, bang, bang… Bang, bang, bang…
A dozen trees were cut off by the deadly blade, and fell down one by one, forming a half-moon-shaped blank area.
bite!
The unstoppable black light originally wanted to expand outward, but was blocked in mid-air by a dense metal net.
After a series of violent tremors and collisions, it returned to calm.
Beside the fountain, the Eye Demon suddenly raised his head. It seemed that through the gaps between the branches and leaves, he looked at a figure suspended in the air. Suddenly, a surging and powerful aura spread out in all directions with his body as the center.
The black robe on his body rolled wildly like a black cloud.
"It's really rare that the old butler of the Black Organization has time to come to Windsor County. Come to think of it, this is the first time we've met. I've long wanted to experience the majesty of the Grim Reaper..."
The Eye Demon slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and blood seemed to flow on the cross blade. Boom! The sword body was bright and dazzling, and a black outline like a flame rolled and extended on the steel blade. The entire sword changed from the original length of 1.2 meters to 1.8 meters.
"The Spiral Eye Sword, it's in your hand..."
The voice read the name of the battle secret treasure. Under the moonlight, a figure surrounded by dense metal wires was suspended in the air.
The silk of mist expanded like a spider web and was fixed in every corner of the park, supporting Amos' body.
Crash!
Two powerful auras collided in the air, causing the wave-like airflow to show white mist visible to the naked eye. The strong wind suddenly blew back across half of the park, sweeping away the fallen leaves on the ground.
In a dark corner, Simone, who had just left, was watching everything closely. Even though he suppressed his breath and presence to the lowest level, his heart in his chest was still beating like a drum, causing his limbs to go numb. Simone forced himself to calm his rapid breathing, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.
The Eye Demon seems to be fighting with another strong man!
