v1 Chapter 169: Beast

   Hearing Dai Li's words, Crestai Sesima stood up immediately, pulled up the strap of the silver-white metal box at hand, and carried it on his back.

   "Let's talk later..." After briefly confessing to Abner, he strode out of the restaurant.

   And Dai Li also stood up and followed the "Goddess Sword", only having time to nod with Abner.

   As for Abner, he wanted to follow up and have a look, but the waiter at the restaurant stopped him.

   "Sir, please settle the bill." The waiter who stood at the door of the private room looked at Abner warily and said.

   Uh... Your Excellency Cesima didn't even check out? Abner looked outside the private room and found that Sesima and Dai Li had disappeared. Instead, a few brawny guys who looked like bodyguards approached here under the hint of the waiter.

   If I run away now, will the headlines of tomorrow become "Whether it is the sorrow of humanity or the loss of morality... The heroic detective has openly eaten the king's meal!"?

   After spitting out a few words in his heart, Abner took a deep breath and asked the waiter who was staring at him: "How much?"

When the waiter saw that he didn't really want to escape the order, he was relieved. After calculating in his heart, he quickly quoted the price: "Including the opened bottle of Sunia blood wine, it totals 53 pounds and 4 thul. "

   Sunia Blood Wine is brewed from the sweet wood juice produced in the area around Golden Spring. The golden spring on Sunia Island is also known as the Fairy Spring, and its spring water is even an auxiliary material for the Sequence 6 potion.

   "..." Abner was speechless for a while, and it was best to squeeze a polite smile and say: "Can you issue an invoice?" How can you have to get reimbursement from the Church of the Night!

   "Invoicing?" The waiter was a little confused at first, but then he reacted and smiled: "You want an attachment to the bill, right? No problem."

  Ebner nodded, then looked back at the Fosac delicacies that he had only eaten a few bites, and asked again: "Do you provide packing services here?"

  ...

   West End, Williams Street.

   Xiu was running fast along the shadows on both sides of the road, but not far behind her was closely followed by a lion-sized beast.

   Suddenly, the beast roared in its throat, the speed suddenly increased by 20%, and it pounced towards Xiu.

   Xiu's mind immediately showed the image of the beast's claws passing through the back of her heart, so she slammed to the left. And almost at the same time, a paw glowing with green light brushed past her.

   This is the extraordinary ability of the "Joker" provided by the "Vow of Prejudgment".

   But this was not over yet, the beast missed a hit, and immediately turned around dexterously, and flew again and rushed towards Xio.

   But at this moment, a figure flashed out of the shadow on the street, and when the beast was in the air, it struggling to hit its body and knocked it out five or six meters away.

   Xiu, seeing this, the action he had prepared was stagnant, and then he took out a few brass charms from his pocket. Then, while igniting the spell, she dragged the figure and passed through the locked door of the house by the side of the road.

   When the beast rushed over again, Xio had already passed through four or five houses in a row. It groaned unwillingly when it saw this, but did not continue to chase, but returned to a house deep in the street along the road.

On the side of    and Xiu, although he didn't run too far, he took advantage of the complicated terrain to get rid of the chase of the beast.

   quietly entered the empty room of a nearby house, Xio turned around to look at the person she was dragging, and found that he had reached a safe place. She felt relieved and went straight into a coma.

   Xiu frowned, and after a short inspection, he found that the man's arm had several wounds caught by the beast. The wound was glowing with green light at this time, which was obviously poisoned and extremely toxic.

   If he hadn't just appeared to help me hit the lion-like beast, I'm afraid it was me who was poisoned...So it is reasonable to think of a way to save him.

Thinking of this, Hugh looked at the assassin who she didn’t recognize, and said silently: “I can only help you briefly deal with the wound first. As for whether you can survive, it depends on whether I can find Abner in time. coming…"

   After speaking, she quietly left the house and went to the Isinger detective office in Hillston District.

  ...

   At ten o'clock in the night, Abner just returned to the teacher's house with a food box and a wine bottle. Before he had time to have a supper, he heard the male servant come and report that it was Miss Hugh.

   Abner was a little surprised, and immediately went downstairs to the living room, and then found that there was some blood on the messy blond hair.

   "What's the matter?" As he said, Abner habitually extracted his breath from Xio, and soon saw an extraordinary beast the size of a lion in the backtracking scene.

   "Werewolf? No...it should be an animal that ate the characteristics of a werewolf!" Abner, who had carefully watched and analyzed Maric's abilities, quickly guessed the details of the beast from the remaining breath.

   "It turned out to be a werewolf..." Xio was a little surprised, and then quickly said: "Someone needs your help. He was poisoned by the claws of the werewolf."

   "What the **** is going on?" Abner asked this, but at the same time he organized his equipment again and went out with Xio.

   "87 Williams Street." After giving out the address, he stood beside Abner, waiting for his action.

   Abner nodded, and hugged Xio's waist with one hand, and then opened the "Pure White Eyes" while simultaneously simulating the "flying" of the "Winner" and the "stealth" ability of the "Witch".

   As a gust of wind rose from under his feet, Abner took Hugh into the air and flew towards the west.

   In mid-air, Xio told Abner in detail what had happened before.

   It turned out that Xio unexpectedly found an immature "Assassin" after taking the mission of the Golden Mask Man.

   Because of the Gnosis, Hugh was not very good to the "Assassin"'s senses, thinking he was going to do something bad, so quietly followed.

   As a result, she discovered that this "Assassin" was actually a good man. He was trying to rescue a young girl who had been taken abducted to a villa in Williams Street.

   It's a pity that his stealth skills as an assassin are not so brilliant. He was easily spotted by the beast in that villa. If Xio hadn't helped him in time, he wouldn't have time to enter the shadows again.

   The following things are simple. The beast thought that Xio was an accomplice, so he followed her closely, and the assassin actually came back after escaping. This is the scene that happened before.

   "Are you the ‘Rose School’ of lusts you mentioned earlier?" After telling the story, Xio frowned and asked.

   "It won't be from the Rose School, otherwise neither you nor the assassin can escape!"
