Chapter 20: The Bloody Man
1
In a remote tavern in the southern part of Basol City, three men sit side by side drinking wine.
The man on the left, with blond hair and an exaggerated amount of jewelry on his hands and neck, elegantly holds a wine glass and asks with interest, "It should be about the same, right?"
In the middle was a silver-white haired and pale man, who said with an expressionless face but a little resolute in his eyes: "The 'king' is ready, and it is only a matter of time before the next step is made." β
"Hehehe, it's always 'king', 'king', 'king' non-stop, you are really loyal. The golden-haired man shook the wine in his glass like a sommelier.
"It's just, can you do it with just a few of us, don't overestimate yourself. β
"Aha......" The blond-haired man's laughter filled the tavern, but no one else looked at him, for there was no other guest in the tavern. He said dismissively, "It's more than enough for the three of us, you're right, Sandman." β
The man on the right, named "The Sandman", lives up to his name, his face is full of sandy and rough wrinkles that are enough to fill the grains of sand, and his brown hair hangs down to cover one eye, and he is quietly drinking.
"You've been drinking alone silently since the beginning, and the wine has become a drain from what you drink, what a tasteless guy. The golden-haired man glared at the sandman unhappily, and the sandman was still drinking indifferently.
"Huh...... That's why I hate this guy. Thanks to him, the wine is not to be drunk. After saying that, the golden-haired man drank the remaining half of the wine in his cup.
"Well, don't talk about that. The silver-haired man sat in the paddock, "We just have to wait for the king's order now." β
"Huh...... I don't think you're pleasing to the eye, what kind of people are in the organization, it's so annoying that it's flying. β
After saying that, the golden-haired man broke the door and left.

Five days have passed since she was separated from Illet, but Ilit still hasn't returned.
"No, we can't wait any longer, let's go find her. Kakat said anxiously.
"The question is where to look, there is no clue. Benny paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Besides, she's not a member of the Energy Shuttle." β
"But you can't sit idly by. After speaking, Kakat looked at Anri, "What do you say, Anri?"
Anri had been staring at Kakat's back since the beginning, pondering something.
"Why, do you want to 'sneak up' Kakat from behind?" said Bennie with a wicked laugh.
"It's all about your weird thoughts. Anri tugged at the collar behind Kakat's back, "Kakat, how can there be blood on the heel of your neck?"
"What? how is that possible?" said Kakat desperately turning his neck back, "If only my head could spin three hundred and sixty degrees." β
"Even if you can spin it, you can't see your neck. Benny smirked, leaning closer to the base of Kakat's neck and glancing at it, "This seems to be half a palm print, could it be left from the fight with Quan Granta?" Kakat, haven't you taken a shower in the past few days?"
"Just kidding, how is that possible?" Kakat stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood and sniffed it again, "It's not beast blood, it's the blood of energy people!"
Anri and Binny were surprised for a moment. Anli settled down and said, "So this mark may have been left by a person, so ...... This person has most likely infiltrated the energy shuttle. β
After saying that, the three of them were silent, feeling the air suddenly filled with an ominous aura in the energy shuttle.
"It's imperative to find this infiltrator, and I'll talk about it later. Kakat struck a batter's posture. He didn't doubt what Anri said, and resolutely decided.
Anri and Binny didn't say anything more, if there were indeed infiltrators in the energy shuttle, it meant that something was wrong with the triangle tower. However, judging from the monitoring equipment hanging from the ceiling of the main palace, the triangle tower is not in abnormal condition, and the alarm system is also working normally.
At this moment, bloody foot prints appeared on the silver-white floor, and they approached the three of them step by step, and the smell of blood filled the air.
"What...... Who...... Show me up. Kakat panicked and picked up the back chair next to him and blocked the two shuttle riders behind him.
"Yo ha......" A large lump of blood suddenly appeared on the cushion of the back chair, and Kakat noticed that the chair had become heavier.
In the next second, a blood-red bald man appeared on the chair, sitting cross-legged. Seeing this, Kakat staggered and slammed back into Anri.
"This ...... What ......?"
Anri gripped Kakat's shoulders with both palms so hard that he didn't realize for a moment that Binnie looked calm, but she was pretending to be calm - her face was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Yo ha...... Am I so scary? It's you bloodless people who are even more scary, okay? The bloody man turned his face, and it was really bloodyβhis whole face was covered with blood, so red that he could barely distinguish his facial features. Well, no, you can still see his two holes that are slightly down the line, and judging by the position of the nostrils, it's right.
"Who are you, and how did you get in the energy shuttle?" asked Binnie calmly, but nearly choked on the question.
"Whew, did I forget to say, this is my ability, as long as I have been touched by my blood, I can chase anyone to the ends of the earth. After speaking, the bloody man used blood to condense into a "blood cup" in his hand, and drank it all, "Good blood, good blood." β
This move drew resentment from the trio.
"When the hell is ......," Anri said to himself, wondering.
"Yo ha, of course it's when it's Grant Tower. The bloody man condensed into a "bloody leg" and gnawed it down, splashing himself with blood juice, but he couldn't see it.
"Before you start fighting with the whole Granta, I had my palm print on its palm, so I don't need to talk about it next, right?"
"Damn...... Despicable thing, get out of my energy shuttle!"
Kakat jerked down his back chair, and the bloody man who fell down turned into a pool of blood when it touched the ground, and then turned into a human form and stood in front of the three of them.
"Are you sure you want me to get out? Little Ilytte, the pink-haired girl, is on me right now. β
After saying that, the bloody man tore open his chest with his hands, revealing a large lock of pink soft hair, and Illet's pale face was surrounded by this flesh and blood. "Hahaha, how's it going?"
"Illet!" Kakat shouted angrily, and then rushed to the bloody man, intending to force Ilit out, but was tricked - he regained his chest with blood, and Kakat had turned his hands into bloody hands when they were pulled out. Splashed with blood, he suddenly fell to his knees, his hands trembled, he pulled his hair tightly, and screamed in a lung-splitting voice, "How can this be ......"
Binnie's pupils were dilated, her hands were tightly covered with her mouth, and she was sobbing.
"That's not true...... "Ann was gray, standing as stupid as wood.
Elite, who had fought together a few days ago, is now hiding in this "flesh and blood" body, hiding in the "heart" of this bastard. The thought of Ellet's quiet face, now in the bastard's chest, clinging to the blood-soaked musculature, made everyone feel the urge to go crazy.
"Hahaha, each of you has amazing expressions, you can all be a drama performance. The bloody man burst into laughter, and all that flowed out was blood. "But don't be sad, little Elite is just unconscious, how can I bear to do it with such a lovely person, yo hahaha. β
Thinking of Illett in this disgusting body, Kakat felt that life was worse than death. No, it should be that Elette is better off than dead, right?
Anri adjusted his mood, and then calmly glared at the bloody man, "What is your purpose?"
"Whew...... Let me make it clear, I am the 'Seven Thumbs', that is, a member of the Seven Cultivation Energy Shuttle, and our shuttle master 'Overlord' is very fond of your shuttle master, so I don't need to say it next, that is, we are going to start a war with you. β
The bloody man licked his bloody fingers and said, "As for the purpose, sometimes the purpose of the battle is just to win, to experience the pleasure of watching the defeated kneel and beg for mercy, you can understand that we are just having an ADHD attack and want to trouble you." β
"As long as we win, we can let Ilit go, right?" Kakat squinted angrily at the Bloody Man.
"Exactly, the mind is really good, yo hahaha, but you have to hurry, otherwise the cute little Ilette will merge with me, for, one, body." β
"It's strange if I don't tear you apart!" Kakat gritted his teeth, his eyes shining like a sharp weapon.
"I don't reject a simple-minded, hot-blooded person like you, yo hahaha. β
At this time, a whistle was heard from outside the main palace, and Kakat and Bini ignored the disgusting bloody man, and hurriedly walked to the glass platform in the center of the main palace hall, pressed the red one, and then the glass plane opened, and the two of them jumped down together. And Anri, who was walking behind him, motioned for the bloody man to walk in front of him first, and he jumped down very cooperatively.
The Blood Man was as if he had no bones, and the impact of his fall turned him into a cloud of blood.
Anri watched the sight with disdain, and when he had transformed into a human form again, he jumped off the glass.
"Yo ha, the 'Seven Repairs' are finally here. The bloody man was so excited that he covered his face with his handsβhis hands and face fused into a ball of blood. He ran briskly down the porch, and Anri glared at the bloody footprints he had left behind.
The "Seven Cultivations" is the energy shuttle where the blood man is located.
Walking briskly towards the triangular tower, you can see a triangular black fusiform floating diagonally above the four-leaf clover main palace, that is, above the observation deck. A giant sword was slowly sticking out next to the shuttle - it was a cannon barrel.
In the next second, a raging fire ignited in the north palace of the main palace.
