Dodor's gaze swept from the old-fashioned frescoes on the walls, to the medieval knights' armor beside them, and finally to the locked doors, but he didn't even look at the food on the table.

"Master Cook, you're here..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly dimmed as if his soul had been drained alive.

As soon as his knees went limp, Duoduo lost his center of gravity and fell to his knees.

"Knock knock..."

The sound of something falling to the ground suddenly appeared, and then a terrifying scene happened so bloodily.

Dodor's head fell straight from his neck, and behind him was Cook holding a Roman dagger, cold as a demon grinding his teeth and sucking blood.

"Master Cook, what are you doing here?!"

Suiko couldn't help but ask, she had heard about this guy's moodiness, but she never imagined that Cook would kill her ally in public.

"Slow down, Suiko," Yukiko said more calmly, "this guy doesn't seem to be Mr. Dodor, you see there's no blood coming out of the wound on his neck at all, it's something like wood." ”

"Well, really!"

"The real Duoduo doesn't give me a good look, although I hate that guy too, but your imitation is inevitably too bad," Cook kicked the fake Duoduo's body to the ground, "It seems that you still have some strength, you can all break into Lao Tzu's territory in a grand manner, stop hiding and hide, come out." ”

With a soft "bang", the wooden puppet that Cook had decapitated turned into playing cards and floated away, and each playing card was printed with the pattern of "King Joker" or "King Joker", without exception.

"Playing cards?" Cook got one casually, only to see the joker's smile on it was violent and sickly, making people shudder, "Pretending to be a ghost, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this!"

The quiet environment suddenly became eerie and uneasy, and Yukiko and Hoko, who were ninjas, immediately drew the kunai and shuriken they had with them, and the two of them jumped to the window and door, cautiously surveying every place in the room where the assassin might be hiding.

"Be careful, sir!"

Spike suddenly shouted, her eyes darting towards Cook, and she saw a glittering silver dagger shoot through the door, aiming directly at Cook's back.

"Innocent!"

Cook shook off the cloak behind him, a sneer on his lips, and then turned to meet it, and the Roman dagger in his hand slammed into the dagger with great speed, and the dagger that had been knocked out of sight disappeared from sight as if it had been carried by silver threads before it hit the ground.

"Pediatric things, I've seen a lot, do you want to assassinate me just because of this?"

Cook defiantly confronted the wind-swept corridor, prides himself on being superior to others, and has never looked down on the Raven Assassins.

"And what about these?"

An extremely cold voice pierced in from outside the door, and vaguely the silhouette of a clown could be seen standing under the high window, and the electric light pierced the night sky, and the figure was intertwined between the light and shadow, making people think that it was a hallucination.

In an instant, the clown disappeared in place, and the inscrutable figure made Cook look a little nervous, and he retreated to Yukiko and Suiko with a pretense of composure, and behind him were the seats on the high platform and the secret door that had been opened not long ago.

"Whoosh!"

I only heard a series of wind-breaking sounds suddenly sounded outside the door, and hundreds of high-speed spinning playing cards came with afterimages, like a dense net, making people unable to retreat.

"My lord, come behind us!"

Yukiko and Suiko each blocked in front of Cook from one side, and they held a number of kunai and shuriken in their hands, and for the two of them who practiced ninja since childhood, the cultivation of the secret weapon technique must also be a problem.

The sound of metal striking resounded through the empty council chamber, and the two slammed images defused the crisis for Cook like a solid shield, and as the playing cards were cut into pieces of paper by Yukiko and Suiko, the Joker's sharp offensive had no effect.

"That's it, hahaha, you're here to be funny, right?"

Pulling out a playing card pinned to the table, Cook turned on taunt mode again.

"Detonate!" the clown said coldly.

"Huh?!"

As soon as Cook made a questioning sound, a kunai suddenly shot from the side, and kunai directly hit the playing card in Cook's hand and nailed it to the wall.

"My lord, get under the table!"

Yukiko and Suiko dragged Cook to the heavy table, when flames erupted on the strewn playing cards, followed by a series of rapid, brief popping sounds and the cracking of cups and plates.

It wasn't until it was completely quiet that Cook angrily crawled out from under the table, and the council chamber he had so painstakingly set up was already in shambles, white smoke rising from the blast, and a pungent smell permeating the room.

"Don't you know what you've done?!" Cook pointed the Roman dagger in his hand at the humanoid clown in the distance and shouted fiercely, "Not only did you ruin Lao Tzu's candlelit dinner, but you also made a mess of Lao Tzu's council room, even if you cut out your heart, it will not be able to eliminate the evil anger in Lao Tzu's heart!"

Kicking the solid wood table in two, Cook looked at Yukiko and Suiko beside him with the same fierce eyes.

"Remember, if something like this happens again, you have to ask for my opinion first, and I don't bother to do such a thing as drilling the table!"

Suiko looked at Cook with some indignation, but fortunately she had her sister Yukiko in her and didn't break out.

"Understood, Master Cook. ”

Yukiko replied in a low voice.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and the clown at the far end slowly revealed his form, and the hat wearing the clown mask walked towards Cook little by little, his steps steady and calm.

"Who are you?!, a beam-jumping clown in some shitty raven organization?"

"A man who was ordered to kill you, and in addition to that, a man who had to take your life. ”

Cook stared at the figure walking by at the end of the smoke, and he swore he had never seen this guy, especially this weirdly dressed clown.

"The assassinations in The Hague and Cape are the work of your Raven Organization, right?" said Cook with a sinister grin, as he stepped back towards the high platform behind him, "Who hired you to carry out this series of terrorist activities, and have you ever thought about the fate of going against the Empire?"

"Where night falls, raven's feathers fly," Kasa walked in with a silver dagger in each hand, the heavy mechanical door slowly closing behind him, "remember this, for this will be the last word you hear before heading to Hell." ”

"Hehe, it seems that you are quite confident in your own strength, but I am not as easy to deal with as those two fools," Cook sneered and retreated to the high platform, "Kill me? ”

Yukiko and Hoko glanced at each other and nodded slightly, and both of them rushed towards Kasa at the same time, one holding a shuriken and the other holding a kunai bag to the enemy.

Kasa still locked his eyes on Cook's body, ignoring the two ninjas coming around from the left and right, but just as Yukiko and Suiko jumped up and were about to stab their weapons at Kasa, two humanoid golems suddenly appeared in the smoke that had not yet dissipated, and they looked almost exactly the same as Kasa, the same clown mask, the same silver dagger.

"Puppetry?" Yukiko murmured, "Suiko, leave it alone, deal with their bodies first!"

"Yes!"

However, just as the two of them wanted to bypass the seemingly stunned puppet and prepare to fire the hidden weapon directly at the Kasa, the two puppets suddenly flashed in front of the two of them as if they were teleporting, and the silver dagger in their hands quickly hit the kunai and shuriken of the two respectively.

Yukiko and Suiko, who felt bad, quickly turned over and landed, trying to find another chance, but the two puppets did not give the two of them a chance to breathe, and the silver light flickered between the candle flames, and the silver dagger with silk thread once again carried the wind.

As a last resort, Yukiko and Suiko had to fight with the two puppets, and although the two obviously had the upper hand, they still couldn't get rid of the entanglement of these two guys in a short time.

"You can also manipulate golems?! ”

Cook, who was about to retreat to his desk, looked down at the approaching Kasa, fox-like eyes trying to see something from under the clown mask.

"Still. I'm not afraid of you!

With that, Cook lunged to his desk, then smirked and pulled out a small red vial from a drawer.

"I'll ask you one last question before you die," said Kasa, who stopped at the stone steps at the bottom of the platform, and looked at Cook from above, "what happened to the nuns of the Rhine Abbey, where are they now?"

Thinking of Dorothy, who was suffering, the corners of the mouth under the mask twitched one after another, the hysterical smile of the clown appeared and disappeared on the left side of his face, and the momentum of the whole person was slowly changing, and the little rabbit in the coat pocket was still sleeping peacefully.

"Sure enough, Lao Tzu guessed it, hahaha," Cook changed from his original nervousness to calmness, and even a little proud, "I know that there is some kind of connection between your assassin organization and those damn parasites, do you want to know their whereabouts? ”

"Answer me honestly, now," a fierce glint flashed in Kasa's eyes, and the mechanical door behind him slammed shut, "You have no choice in the face of death. ”

"What a joke, I should have said this to you, right?" Cook sat peacefully in his chair, his legs stretched high, "Don't forget, their lives are in my hands, and you should be the one who has no choice!"

"Let's go meet the undead. ”

In an instant, a few more silver daggers appeared in Kasa's hand, and he jumped up suddenly, and Kasa, who was in a state of anger, stopped talking nonsense and rushed directly towards Cook, who was full of arrogance.
