Li Xini held her soft little hand and said, "Let's go, let's go pay tribute to your mother and your people, and see if we can get something from them."
He raised his left hand, and the scarlet inverted cross was shocking.
However, at this moment, the communication mirror in his pocket began to vibrate.
Li Xini picked up the mirror and smiled faintly, "Tria? Happy New Year. You woke up so early?"
In the communication mirror, Tria said seriously: "Captain, something happened."
Li Xini was startled: "Huh?"
"Hayden was ambushed before dawn and was seriously injured and dying."
Tria said, "I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer."
Chapter 204: Hundred-eyed little loli!
St. Martin's Hospital, District 6 of the Royal Capital.
"Hayden was ambushed while on duty in the sixth district last night. We didn't even find any signs of fighting at the scene. This is not right. After receiving your gift, Captain, Hayden has become a fourth-level black magician. The ability he possesses is... Demonization..."
Tria whispered, "But he didn't even have the slightest chance to resist. Originally, he was going to go home to spend time with his wife and daughter after his shift, but he didn't expect..."
Li Xini silently looked at the unconscious man on the bed: "Is he married?"
Tria hummed and pointed outside the ward.
Licinius turned and looked.
I saw a beautiful young woman sitting outside the ward, holding a naive four-year-old girl.
Her face was very pale, tears kept flowing, and her whole body was shaking.
Until the little girl in her arms opened her ignorant eyes and asked coquettishly: "Is Daddy sleeping? Why is Daddy ignoring me? I prepared candy for Daddy."
The woman bit her lips tightly, held her daughter in her arms, and cried silently.
A trace of pity flashed across Tria's beautiful eyes, then she turned her head to look at the man on the bed and sighed, "If Senior Neil hadn't discovered it in advance, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been saved."
"This is very strange. Hayden is a night watchman, and his identity has always been kept secret. If they wanted to target him, it doesn't make sense that his wife and daughter would be fine. In other words, he just happened to encounter the other party."
Licinius's right monocle was covered with a trace of gray mist, and he said softly, "Don't think about it. This is most likely aimed at me. I asked the Night Watchmen and the agents of the Bureau to be on duty in District 6 to protect those civilians. Obviously, they picked the strongest one among them to attack."
Tria was slightly startled.
Li Xini's eyes were gloomy, and he was just about to go above the gray fog to use Baimujiang's power for divination.
However, the next moment, the unconscious Hayden suddenly spit out blood.
Blood splattered on the white wall, outlining lines of words.
"Let's play a game. Find me."
"Or, let me find his family first."
"Let's see who's faster?"
The room fell into silence, with only the sound of heavy breathing to be heard.
Licinius's eyes turned cold.
Sure enough, his guess was correct, the other party was indeed coming for him.
"team leader… "
Tria glanced at him and said softly, "It's okay. When Hayden is on a mission, in addition to wearing a mask, he also uses the illusion potion left by the Night Watch to change his appearance. But if his body tissue is extracted, it will only be a matter of time before his identity is exposed."
Li Xini hummed: "I understand."
At this time, the words written in blood on the wall changed again:
"Of course, I can also pick someone else to attack. I'm curious, what do these civilians in District 6 mean to you? Hehe, let me think about it, who should I pick to attack? It's really confusing."
It was bloody and extremely weird.
For a moment, Li Xini's eyes changed completely.
He turned and left, taking out the communication mirror at the same time.
"Well?"
A lazy, sleepy female voice sounded in the communication mirror: "What's the matter?"
Novia was obviously still drowsy and sleepy.
"Come to St. Martin's Hospital and help me guard for a day. Remember to go to my house before you come and take away the equipment box numbered four in the storage room of my study. Anyone who is suspicious will be killed without mercy." Li Xini put away the communication mirror and came to the long and narrow corridor.
He looked at the helpless mother and daughter, hesitated, and said nothing.
Given his current status, it would be better for him not to have much contact with them.
"Master, do you have any clues?"
Noren had just gone to the bathroom and had re-tied her platinum hair. Her delicate face, as beautiful as ice and snow, seemed frozen in the sunlight. Under her black and white magic robe were a pair of slender legs wrapped in black stockings. She had put away her original high heels and changed into long boots.
"Well, there are only so many people who know that I want to protect the civilians of District 6. Moreover, they also know that I am a member of the Night Watch. Who else could they be to retaliate against me except the old nobles?"
Li Xini said dimly, "This is retaliation. They openly declared war on me. Interesting."
After saying that, he glanced at the girl and asked, "Have you changed into your leggings?"
"Yes, it's the one specially made for you, young master. It won't expose your body."
Norn seemed very well-behaved and spoke calmly.
"Then let's go. Does he really think I can't find him?"
Li Xini smiled and said, "He should never, ever, choose to approach me in this way."
o
o
The quiet coffee shop, the door creaking in the howling cold wind.
There were corpses all over the ground and blood was spreading along the cracks in the floor.
With a click…
Arthur pulled out the dagger that was stuck in his heart, and blood spurted out.
His face was twisted with pain, yet filled with the pleasure of revenge.
boom…
Another corpse fell to the ground, with a horrible bloody hole in the chest.
"If Lord Alessandro knew that you had provoked the king, you would probably die a miserable death. This time we came to the royal capital just to collect enough sacrifices, not to do anything unnecessary." A black-haired girl stood beside him, her pale face adorned with heavy makeup and her lips rosy.
The girl was holding a black umbrella, looking like an exquisite puppet, beautiful yet lifeless.
"Miss Judiya, you are too nervous. What's wrong with this?"
The wound on Arthur's chest gradually healed, and he smiled and said, "The king can't find me, and he won't know it was me who did it. I just followed the organization's instructions and completed the mission."
"That's an owl."
Judiya said expressionlessly, "The second generation of the Night Watch."
Arthur spread his hands, stepped on the corpses and poured himself a cup of coffee, and said with a smile: "The Night's Watch has declined. I have read the intelligence records from decades ago. The Night's Watch was indeed glorious and powerful back then, but now their overall strength is far inferior to that of the Bureau!"
"As for Xiao, he is just relying on the power of the Annihilation Clan to play tricks."
He paused and said, "The border war was just a test for us."
Judiya glanced at him with her lifeless black eyes and asked calmly, "Then why is he the king and you are just a despicable copy? Your bloodline determines the difference between you two."
There was a hint of viciousness in Arthur's eyes, and he sneered, "Miss Judiya, I don't quite understand your inner thoughts. Don't you have any complaints against the king? When you were born, you were destined to serve him. Even your adoptive mother Cicely acquiesced to this."
"You lost your freedom when you were young, just to observe the king in secret, record his joys and sorrows, guess his preferences, and always be ready to die in his place when his soul is about to be annihilated."
He took a sip of coffee and asked, "Don't you want to resist?"
Judiya fell silent for a long time, then calmly said, "My affairs have nothing to do with you. Continue to complete the mission and don't do anything unnecessary. The capital is very dangerous for us. If we really encounter an enemy that we cannot defeat, I can only use the hidden chess pieces that Lady Cicely left in the capital."
"Will you report what I did to Lord Alessandro?" Arthura asked with a smile.
Judiya glanced at him and said, "Irrelevant memories will be cleared in 24 hours. I won't remember anything about you after I return to the monastery. You don't deserve to stay in my mind."
Ashera sighed, "I'm so jealous. Why am I not the king?"
"Thank you, though, Miss Judiya."
He said seriously: "Using this holy relic must be very tiring for you, right?"
In the coffee shop, there is a dressing mirror stained with blood.
The mirror was filled with turbulent fog, reflecting the silhouettes of the two of them.
Holy Relic o Mirror of the Mist.
Anyone or anything illuminated by the mirror will fall into an unknown foreign land.
Therefore it cannot be observed.
Judiya said indifferently: "I said, it has nothing to do with you."
"Okay, okay, it has nothing to do with me."
Arthur spread his hands and said, "Let's go and prepare new sacrifices. After all, we need to revive the evil spirits in the capital, which requires a lot of preparation. It's a pity that the king can't find us. How boring."
Judiya held up a black umbrella and turned to walk towards the Misty Mirror.
However, the next moment, her steps paused slightly.
The mirror trembled slightly.
"Someone is trying to divine our location," she said softly.
"Ha! I guess it's the king? It seems he does have the ability to tell fortunes."
Arthur laughed arrogantly and even made a face in front of the mirror: "King! Come to me! Try harder, I hope you can see my face. I think if you don't go home to accept the gift from your family, then you don't even know how the Valerius family fights."
"As a descendant of the evil god, we cannot practice magic like a normal sorcerer."
He stuck out his tongue. "It must be very frustrating to be a weak alchemist, right?"
After saying that, he sneered and turned around.
"Let's go, dear Miss Judiya."
Judiya reached out to touch the mirror, but a trace of fear suddenly flashed in her lifeless eyes!
boom!
From somewhere in the darkness, there seemed to be a sound of the world collapsing.
Judiya groaned and blood flowed from all her orifices.
Arthur seemed to have checked something and turned around subconsciously.
A horrifying scene appeared!
The mirror engulfed by the fog began to tremble wildly.
A faint outline emerged from the fog.
It was a petite shadow, accompanied by endless surging gray mist, that descended into the mirror.
A young and indifferent face, a petite and slender figure, and black hair that falls like a waterfall.
The nails of those hands were black and crystal clear.
As desperate roars rang out in the gray fog, her shadow gradually solidified.
Countless terrifying cracks, like pairs of blood-red eyeballs, were suspended behind her.
It seems to reveal endless cosmic truths, mysterious and profound!
The girl was like a god, her white ritual garment fluttering in the wind, her delicate jade feet bare.
"I found it for you."
Her voice was indifferent and childish, as clear as a silver bell: "This time I will still take half of your soul."
In the mist, there is a faint shadow of a young man.
