In the color photo, a large number of antiques occupy a major area, in the corner of the picture. A silver pocket watch lies on the table, a little old, but well preserved. A large acanthus leaf is embossed on the open cover.
There are also two vague letters engraved on the surface: NZ.
NZ, Natsu. Lisha's senior brother and Kashu's uncle.
This pocket watch is Natsu's relic. Lisha gave this pocket watch to Kashu because she hoped that he could become a brave and strong person like Natsu.
This watch has a very special meaning to Lisha.
On the rainy night of the battle to exterminate the entire family, Lisha left behind a last will and testament when she was on the verge of death. The last sentence was to not lose the pocket watch.
This is a symbol of heritage...
“I didn’t expect to be here.”
Kashu frowned tightly, this gave him another reason to intercept the goods. Kashu was a little tempted when the Sand and Dust Organization was going to transport so many antiques to Shirakawa City, maybe he could absorb the obsession energy from them. Now this batch of antiques also includes Uncle Natsu's pocket watch, which is something he must get.
"July 5th, tomorrow night, Beka Street..."
Kaxiu muttered softly, hoping that the disappearance of the Black Fire Gang members would not affect the Sand Dust Organization's actions tomorrow. Otherwise, he might have to kill a lot of people in the Black Fire Gang to find what he wanted.
"I hope you won't kill yourself."
Kaxiu stuffed the notebook into his arms, picked up the big red box next to him, and walked towards the city in the dark night.
The well-arranged white and gray buildings, with their grid lines, perfectly contrasted the dark sky. A few scattered stars twinkled, and the half-hidden sickle moon was blocked by clouds. Only a thin layer of pale white frost spread on the ground.
Black street lamps were lined up on both sides, and there were only a few drunkards staggering on the road. A few wild cats were looking for food next to the trash can, and torn newspapers were blown away by the wind.
Kaxiu took a deep breath of the cool evening breeze and walked towards 25 Citi Street, where he lived in Jessica's apartment.
"Um!?"
Kaxiu turned his head suddenly. He had just made a breakthrough and his perception was very sharp. There seemed to be someone running in the alley on the right.
“Thump, thump, thump, thump…”
The person showed up, a man wearing a jacket and a non-mainstream metal chain, like a gangster
"Are you coming for me?" Kaxiu could feel that the other party's attention seemed to be on him. He lowered his head to glance at the heavy wooden suitcase in his right hand, which contained 150,000 federal coins.
"You..." The man just rushed to Kaxiu.
"Bang!"
The man was kicked out directly, his buttocks rubbed rapidly against the tiles of the alley, and finally rolled on the ground for several times.
"Damn it, we're so close to Lai Te Street and there are still thugs who dare to rob. The public security in Shirakawa City has been getting worse and worse recently." Kaxiu spat, picked up the heavy suitcase and left quickly.
He didn't want to kill people here, it was too close to the city. And he had been killing too many people recently, so he had to slow down.
The moonlight was dim, and the gray alley was quiet and dark.
A man curled up on the ground, coughing. He lay there for a long time before he stood up tremblingly, holding on to the wall.
"Fuck, why the hell didn't you listen to me finish my words!"
The man's appearance was not handsome, and could even be described as a little shabby. He had thick hair, and the hair on his temples covered his ears. He had a shiny metal chain hanging around his neck.
He reached out his hand and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"He wouldn't mistake me for a gangster, would he?" The man took one look at the clothes he was wearing and immediately felt that it was a 90% chance. He never thought that one day his taste in clothing would be mistaken for a gangster!
This is a huge insult to the wolfhound Ugo!
He walked forward a few steps and came to the intersection, only to find that there was no one on the avenue: "Damn it!", so he had to go back the same way.
In a house in the residential area of Wright Street.
"Ugo... You were kicked away by someone?!"
A beautiful woman in a black tight dress looked over, not only with a teasing smile but also with deep surprise.
Ugo is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary gangster.
He is an elite member of their Shadowless Organization, and a master picked from among the parasites. Wolfhound Ugo has defeated the Demon Shadow three times, and his physique is more than twice that of an ordinary person. He is also proficient in various boxing and fighting techniques, and is the backbone of the combat team.
He was kicked away like this? Although it was probably due to carelessness, the opponent was obviously also a fighting expert.
Such a master must be absorbed into the organization, and must not be allowed to be chased down and brutally killed by the minions of Demon Shadow.
"Don't bring up that." Hugo said with a sullen look on his face, "Well... he is really strong."
"Although it was a sudden attack, he is probably a good fighter. He should be not as good as me in a head-on combat, but he should still have 70% to 80% of my strength." Ugo said.
They are from an organization called Shadowless. In this era, technology is developing rapidly, everything is changing with each passing day, the economy is thriving, and metropolises are gradually rising. But in every bright and beautiful place, there are dirty and dark sewers.
The monsters in the sewers will look greedily at the bustling city through the gaps. Humans, the fragile humans, are their prey.
The Shadowless Organization is the dark derivative between monsters and humans. All members of the Shadowless Organization are people who have been parasitized by the Demon Shadow. They live in the manifestation of the Demon Shadow again and again, looking for ways to avoid being assimilated.
It was this desire to survive that brought them together.
All members of the Shadowless Organization are hosts of the Shadow. Not only do they have to face the threat from the Shadow, but they also have to resist the Shadow's minions who smell the scent. So they formed an organization to help each other, resist the Shadow, and find ways to win over new companions.
The reason why they came to Shirakawa City this time was to follow the gathered minions of the Demon Shadow. The Shadowless Organization had special detection props that could help them find similar partners in the crowd.
But unfortunately, when Ugo found Kaxiu and was about to explain the situation, Kaxiu thought he was a gangster who was trying to steal money and kicked him away.
In the room, Hugo sighed slowly: "I won't bother him too much about this kick. I'll go find him again in a few days. I hope his assimilation level doesn't exceed 70%."
Yes, assimilation, a word that Kaxiu had never heard of.
In Ugo's opinion, the rules of Shadow Manifestation are very different from those of Kashu. First of all, the basic rules of Shadow Manifestation have not changed, and it will still copy a person who is exactly the same as you.
What follows is completely different.
In Ugo's understanding, if you lose a battle with a demon shadow, you will not be replaced directly, but will be assimilated partially. The first time he lost to the demon shadow, he was assimilated by about 5%, and the assimilation amount would increase with each defeat. It would take about nine defeats for the demon shadow to completely assimilate and replace the host.
That means there are a total of nine chances of failure.
Kaxiu:
1×9=9.
So I have to complete the game with one life and become a super god!
There seems to be a huge difference between nine lives and one life...
