This is a hill on the edge of the city of W.

The hill is located at the junction of the suburbs, and to be specific, the foot of this side of the hill belongs to the urban area, and the other side of the hill belongs to the suburbs. The hill becomes a natural dividing line between the "city" and the "suburbs". If it's daytime, the hill is actually considered a park. There are quite a lot of people who are exercising or hanging out.

But by night, the hill was empty. Even if there are street lights, no one will come.

The main road is a big bend along the foot of the mountain, and if you want to go into or out of the city, you need to go around the hill along the road. It's fine with a car, but if you're walking or riding a bicycle, it's a long way.

If you go straight up the hill, it can be said that it is an out-and-out shortcut.

Of course, there is a risk cost to doing so. There have been several robberies recently, and the robbers are all from people who are greedy for the next step. Although cases of this magnitude have not been taken seriously by the police (because the amount of money looted is not large), rumors have indeed circulated.

At this moment, on the slope of the hill, three or four young men who came out of nowhere were looking at the prey that came in front of them. Although the street lamps on the mountain were dim, a single woman could still be seen.

Normally, if a single woman walks on the night road like this, and three or five men jump out in front of her, she will definitely be alert. No matter how stupid you are, you know that this is nothing good in any way. Only robbers appear at such times and places.

But this time, things seem to be a little different. The single woman didn't seem to be aware of the danger ahead. Or maybe she's so tired and anxious to go home that she ignores the danger ahead. Anyway, she just walked straight ahead of the danger.

Of course, it doesn't make much sense. Once the prey had walked into this way, he could not escape. It's just the difference between being blocked by the people in front or being blocked by those who are ambushed behind. At this time, the robber in the rear had also appeared, following from behind the woman.

The robbers who stood in place and waited for the rabbit to throw their prey into the net were already talking about how to deal with the prey, such as robbing first and then XX, who went first and who went later, and so on, it was completely a relaxed attitude of hand-to-hand capture.

Judging from their attitude, this is certainly not the first time they have done this kind of trick. Even the case that has occurred in this neighborhood is not at all the first.

A total of six people, like a hungry wolf facing a little white rabbit, surrounded the prey. All six of them had weapons in their hands, knives and sticks, but it didn't matter if they had weapons or not. What more weapons do six men need against a woman?

However, the men showed their weapons to the prey in front of them, and issued a wordless warning, as if to say that if they did not obey, they would suffer.

The woman wore clothes that were rarely seen - at least not by a few robbers, but that was not a problem. They are robbers who block the road, not costume designers. However, the woman's head seems to be covered with a gauze scarf, and her head is drooping, so her face is not clear.

The path on the mountain is not wide, and it is basically impossible to walk through it when it is blocked by three or four people. The woman stopped.

"*%¥#@......" The woman spat out a series of incomprehensible sounds, probably in some dialect. In short, the robbers did not care about this detail, and the lewd smiles on their lips fully indicated that they wanted to rob the wealth.

But from an objective point of view, it can be clearly seen that this group of robbers does not look like people who are forced by life. Although the weather was hot and people were dressed simply, several of them wore designer clothes - if hung in a mall, the price was equivalent to the monthly salary of an ordinary salaryman.

In addition, you can see some necklaces, bracelets and other accessories hanging from them. They are all coarse gold products.

It's not so much that they're poor bastards who come out to rob, but rather a bunch of thrill-seeking kids.

"Hee...... It's really good. I didn't call it. "A man reaches out and tries to grab the arm of his prey. It looks like the prey is younger than expected, so let her cry here tonight. The robber thought to himself. Anyway, no matter how much you shout here, no one will come.

The moment his hand grabbed the prey's arm, he felt a chill on his arm. And then - his forearm fell to the ground.

It was all too sudden, and the stunned man looked at his lost arm, and blood splattered from the broken arm, and he was several seconds late before he let out a scream.

"Ah...... Yes...... Hands, hands, my hands ......"

Of course, the sound was quickly swallowed up by the silence around him, and no matter how badly he howled, it didn't make any sense. For it is impossible for anyone other than his companions around him to hear his screams and come to his aid.

The woman, who was originally regarded as a prey, had an extra sword in her hand at some point.

It was a short sword, and the blade was about 80 centimeters. Although a person's arm had just been severed, there was no blood on the blade. A strange pattern can be seen on the spine of the sword. It's a rudimentary figure like a primitive fresco, but it's vivid enough to tell it's an eye.

"Bastard!" a companion having his hand chopped off doesn't make the others afraid. In fact, it had the exact opposite effect, and the other robbers were furious.

One of the nearest men swung his stick and slammed it into the head of his prey.

It is not a riot baton made of rubber, but a mace, the front half of the stick is a sharp iron spike, the unique design structure greatly enhances the strength of the blow, if it hits the vital point of the person, it is basically immediately lost combat effectiveness, at least even the belt meat is pulled up a large piece. It can be said that it is quite a murderous weapon.

【…… Search Mode...... Judgment...... And...... Collision of intelligent beings on the plane...... Kill!]

One arm was raised, blocking the mace in mid-air.

The man wielding the mace used all his strength in anger, and his own strength combined with the alloy mace, if it were hit on a normal human, it would probably directly shatter the bones. But this time the situation was completely unexpected.

The metal mace was easily blocked. Not only that, with a wave of the woman's hand, the short sword stabbed directly into the man's body that he couldn't dodge, right between the chest and abdomen.

The man snorted, but his body remained motionless, and there was a sound as if a steak was heating up in a frying pan.

It should be said that this action directly shocked the other robbers.

It's normal to have a short sword or something, and it's not outrageous to cut off people's hands with a short sword, but it is beyond the imagination of the robbers to quickly and directly stab at the fatal position of the human without hesitation.

Although it may seem simple, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Ahhh......h His hand loosened, and the mace slipped from his hand, and the mace scraped the woman's veil and fell to the ground.

"Her eyes!" another shouted.

The woman's eyes were glowing red.

Even though it's late at night, and the light from the street lamps on the mountain is dim, you can't be wrong about this kind of thing.

The woman drew her sword and looked around at the robbers. In the next moment, she pounced on the wounded man who was still wailing with a broken arm. In the dim light, her movements were so fast that she almost had an afterimage.

The dagger pierced through the unprepared jaw and plunged out from the top of the head. The howl came to an abrupt end.

Such a swift and merciless killing, even if several robbers drank alcohol, now the wine turned into cold sweat and broke out of their bodies.

The sound of frying steak continues. Everyone now perceived that the sound was coming from the companion who had just been stabbed, or more specifically, from the wound of the comrade who had been stabbed by the sword.

The first person to be stabbed was already paralyzed to the ground, and his body seemed to be emitting red smoke, and along with the smoke, his body was drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The woman drew her sword again. The second man (the one with his arm cut off) was the same, with the tiny "crackling" sound of frying steak coming from his fatal wound.

"Demon ...... Youkai!! "In this situation, someone finally screamed.

Although the term "outlaw" is often used to describe criminals, in reality criminals are usually not very bold. Especially those criminals who are not forced to live, but are looking for thrills.

In the midst of this scream, one of them had already turned around and wanted to escape.

In the female monster's eyes, the red light suddenly became deeper.

"Bang!" a loud sound shook the trees on the side. The remaining four robbers stopped, even the one who had just shouted "youkai" and was about to run.

Among the robbers, the leader was armed with a pistol, and he had fired the same shot. The smell of gunpowder carried through the wind. The bullet hits the female monster in the chest, near the shoulder, and if you judge carefully, you will think that the bullet hit the lung.

"Whew...... Ha...... Call...... Ha...... Ha ...... "The leading robber was a young man, and his expression at the moment was completely distorted, leaving only an expression of gnashing teeth. That expression was the ultimate rage.

That's right, it's anger. Why is this happening? Why are companions killed? Why are they slaughtered like animals?

Originally i drinking, bragging, chatting and even fighting friends together...... And just like that, he died...... No, even five minutes ago, they were discussing together how to assault this woman who dared to walk alone at night. Just alive, suddenly dead.

How can such a thing be allowed?!

In an instant, he changed from the role of the perpetrator to the role of the victim, and this unimaginable transformation made him so angry. It even gave him the courage to pull the trigger.

"Bang!" the second shot hit the female monster's sword-wielding hand. The bullets at close range seemed to shatter the female monster's fingers, and she could no longer hold the sword. The sharp dagger fell to the ground.
