The narrow alleys are now crowded with people.

These people, all of them, are refugees.

Each one was ragged, but in the crowd, there were still people dressed in fine clothes.

It's just that the gorgeous clothes are worn on their bodies, but they look nondescript.

Catherine could tell at a glance that it was a commoner wearing aristocratic clothes.

Just as she once saw a slave secretly wearing her father's clothes, she felt like a clown.

Later, someone told her that in fact, everyone longs to become a nobleman and live a noble life, but it is too difficult for commoners to become nobles, and they have to go through the test of blood.

on this.

Catherine didn't understand very well, because she was born a nobleman, and as soon as she became an adult, she would get the title of an earl, and she didn't know the heart of a commoner.

At this time.

Rose walked over and squeezed through the crowd with her thin body.

Someone tried to stop her, but just as she was pushing her, Catherine saw that she suddenly took out a dagger and cut the man's palm.

"Hey, aren't you going to die, she's a Scarlet Rose!"

"A chick favored by death, it's not something you can provoke, get out of the way, kid!"

Several fierce-looking men mocked the injured man, but when they looked at Rose, their eyes were much more polite.

Catherine covered her mouth with her little hand, as Rose shocked her again.

Such a small person would dare to attack an adult man with a dagger.

Why is she so different?

At this time, no one dared to stop Rose anymore.

She walked through the crowd without changing her face, walked to the mouth of the alley, and looked at the wide square in front of her.

The name of this square is called Queen Square.

Those who once walked here were all noble nobles and their precious carriages.

But now, in the square, the statue of the queen is in tatters, and the streets are full of rats.

A man with an indifferent face and a teenager in his arms.

But the boy's eyes were closed, apparently dead.

Next to him, was a bearded man.

The bearded man has only one eye and the other eye with a black leather patch.

He took a small bag from his hand, and the hole in the small bag let people know that this small bag contained food.

"Alright, we can get started. ”

The bearded man patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Joel, quickly throw your dead son out and see who can grab it." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the pouch.

The man named Joel looked at the pouch and frowned, "Johnson, if there is only such a small amount of food, I would rather eat my son, because it is still meat after all." But the food you give is just some moldy bread, and it's so little, it's not worth it!"

"Johnson says it's a good deal, it's a good deal. ”

Johnson grinned, knocked Yoel's head with a cigarette pouch pot, and said: "Joel, there are rules on this street, no one can eat their own relatives, this is the rule set by Johnson, this is Johnson's bottom line! If you dare to touch my bottom line, then Joel, are you ready to die?"

After hearing this, Joel was reluctant, but he endured it.

Because of Johnson, the boss of the street, he has a strong force, and he doesn't know where the food came from, and he has many followers.

No one dares to offend Johnson, no one dares to offend.

"Well, I'll listen to your Boss Johnson. ”

Joel casually threw his dead son into the square, then picked up the bag of food and held it in his arms like a baby.

And many greedy eyes are also fixed on the food bag.

Joel knew that this group of people were hungry wolves, so he took out a rusty sharp knife and said, "If anyone dares to rob him, I don't mind killing him and then eating him, I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"

Seeing his fierce appearance, many people withdrew their gaze.

And Catherine, who had been watching from a short distance, was completely stupid, which had subverted her perception of the world.

Why?

Even if he has starved to death, but after all, he is his own son, why can he exchange his son's corpse for food, and even eat his own son, is human nature really so terrible?

But she found that Rose didn't even have any fluctuations in her expression, like a dummy with a living face that couldn't make any expressions.

Yes, the purpose of her coming was to snatch the boy's body and eat it.

But how could she get her mouth shut?

Just as Catherine was in a tangle, many people had already rushed to the square.

Rose walked at the back, dagger in her hand, and her steps looked unhurried.

The corpse of the boy attracted a swarm of rats.

Although everyone was using torches to disperse the rats, the rats seemed to be hungry and were a little unafraid of the fire.

"Damn it!"

In the crowd, I don't know who scolded, "Quick, throw some torches over, they are in danger!"

Then.

Someone started throwing torches.

The fire was a little bigger, and the rats began to be afraid.

Catherine felt a little in her heart, although these people seemed to have lost their humanity, but they still cared about others in their hearts.

"But don't let them be eaten by rats, let them kill each other, kill each other!"

"Yes, kill, we want to see the excitement!"

"Remember to throw the wounded back, we can have more food today!"

What the?

Could it be that the purpose of these people throwing torches is like this?

Really.

The people in the square answered Catherine with their actions.

They fought frantically together, blood splattered, and Catherine even saw half an ear fly away.

She wanted to scream, but she was afraid that she would attract someone's gaze and eat herself......

Finally, she looked at Rose's back and finally endured it.

She drew a cross on her chest and silently prayed for Rose.

Rose stood at the edge of the square, and no one dared to approach her, and she didn't come near anyone else, just like a wooden pestle.

And the people in the chaos finally decided the winner.

A very short man, the ultimate winner.

Moreover, he was not injured from beginning to end.

He looked as dangerous as the dagger he held behind him.

"Hey Rose, why are you safe every time? ”

He laughed, and the two daggers spun in a circle in his hand, clearly a veteran of playing with knives.

"Maybe they can't see me. ”

Rose replied lightly, she was like an emotionless person when facing others.

"Okay. ”

He smiled and said, "You are a little girl who has a very good appetite for me, so I am reluctant to kill you." Then, according to your rules, we will have half of the corpses. ”

"No, you can't. ”

Every time Rose comes to snatch the corpse, she will be inexplicably ignored, and then the person who wins, because she is already scarred, so it is unlikely that she will be the opponent of even a girl, and she will usually accept Rose's conditions and give half of the body to Rose.

But this time, Rose shook her head stubbornly.

She said, "The boy's body belongs to me, and the rest is for you." ”

"But none of them are dead. ”

The short man said: "The winner has been decided, and according to the rules of Boss Johnson, I can't kill anymore." It's the rule of the damn Johnson boss again, and the people on this street can't eat the injured either. So little rose, you can only get half of it. Or you can also choose to fight me, but you should know that Jack I am the best on this street to play with knives. ”

"I want it all. ”

Rose walked forward, dagger outstretched, but her arms looked like they had no strength, and her steps looked like the walking dead.

"Damn, what are you crazy about?"

Jack really thinks Rose is special, so he doesn't want to hurt Rose, but he has to win because he has to run out of food.

"Because I have one more friend. ”

Rose said expressionlessly: "She is my friend, I picked her up, so I have to take care of her, at least not let her be bullied, let alone starved to death." Well, that's my reason, it doesn't seem to impress you. ”

"Of course. ”

"You have new friends, but I also have family," Jack said. So Rose, let's get started, and I'll try not to hurt you. ”

"Don't. ”

Rose said, "If you don't give it your all, you're going to die." ”

"Then give it a try. ”

Jack snorted coldly, and rushed towards Rose at great speed, stabbing the dagger in his hand.

Burst......

The sound of metal piercing into flesh sounded.

Rose's left shoulder had been pierced, but she didn't even scream in pain, but looked at Jack's surprised face with a blank expression.

"You're dead. ”

Rose grabbed Jack's wrist with one hand, but with the other hand pressed the dagger to Jack's throat, "Our fight is over Jack, thank you for not stabbing me in the heart, so in return, I won't hurt you." ”

"Is this the way to play?"

Jack frowned, let go of the dagger, and slowly retreated: "Rose, your tactical play has been exposed, I hope you don't participate in such an event next time, otherwise you will die and be killed by others." ”

"Thanks for the reminder. ”

Rose is very polite, but it also feels very rusty.

Catherine knew that this was the courtesy of the nobility.

But.

She was more worried about Rose's injuries at this time.

But before she could rush over, she saw Rose shaking her head at herself.

Rose picked up the boy's legs, dragged him to Johnson and said, "Boss Rose, can I take him with me?"

"Of course my rose. ”

Johnson took another bag and said, "This is my reward for you, because you are the bravest girl I have ever seen." Of course, it's also because you didn't kill Jack, who is the best assassin I've ever had. ”

"Give it to Jack. ”

Rose didn't even look at it, just dragged the boy's corpse away.
