Act XXIX
The night is dark.
Atlantia in the middle of the night, stripped of its original prosperous appearance, like the same quiet girl, sleeping quietly.
Hundreds of islands of various sizes are now like stars in the sky, distributed around the great whirlpool of the endless abyss, and occasionally ships pass by, but they are also silent, as if they do not want to disturb this quiet environment.
The Noelle Curiosity Shop, located in Atlantia's Sea Cat district, is lit up at the moment.
Fiena Noelle was looking away in horror, trying to see what the person next to her was doing.
Her hands were tied to her chair behind her back, and her mouth was stuffed with an unknown piece of coarse cloth, as if she had been kidnapped.
In the store, three masked men were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, as if searching for something.
What Fina would never have imagined was that she had just come down from the Nautilus and arrived at the Noelle Strange Things Store when she was kidnapped by the gangsters.
They first questioned Fina, and when they saw that the little girl did not know whether she pretended not to know or did not know, they began to look around.
"Be careful, idiot! there might be some dangerous goods in this store!"
The burly man at the head was named Gaia, and when he saw his companion fiddling with an unknown metal ball, he shouted at him.
"I see, sir. β
The scolded, named Matthew, had a scar on his face that spread from his left eye to his cheek, and he replied curtly, then put the metal ball back.
"But we should be able to sell a little of these things, and they are also things that were fished from the Endless Abyss. β
The third man, short but quite capable, his name was Ordiga, and he was quietly fumbling a few crystals into his pocket.
"Remember our mission. β
Gaia didn't stop either, he was searching in a cabinet, but he couldn't find anything of value in the dusty cabinet.
"By the way, why don't we torture this little girl anymore, maybe we can recruit her with a little bit of cruelty?"
Matthew turned and walked over to Fina's side.
Reaching out, gently stroking her long aqua blue hair, the rough palm went all the way down, stopping on Fina's shoulder.
"Like removing a hand or something. β
"Just let me cool off, I haven't fucked this hybrid bastard yet. β
Ordiga also turned around and licked his lips when he heard his companion's words.
The words of the two of them made Fina's whole body tense and she began to feel fear from the bottom of her heart.
"You two, be careful and don't kill people. β
Big brother Gail said coldly, glanced at the two subordinates who were not successful, shook his head, and continued to rummag.
"Hehe, I'm good at it. β
Rubbing his palms, Ordiga walked up to Fina and gently lifted the half-breed girl's chin.
"It's really a beauty, even in the 'Fengyue Pavilion', it's a first-class product, and it's really cheap for me today. β
In Ordiga's eyes, Fina saw the color of desire.
She gritted her teeth and tried her best not to show weakness, but her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Don't be afraid, it will hurt at first, but as soon as you get used to it, it will be very comfortable. β
Matthew also leaned in, smiling lewdly.
Just as Ordiga's hand reached for Fina's chest, the girl couldn't help but close her eyesβ
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door, alerting the three people in the room.
"Saveβ"
Before Fina could call for help, Matthew covered her mouth and sealed her mouth with the coarse cloth again.
"Shhhh β
He made a silent gesture and then spoke to Boss Gaia.
"I'm going to see what happens. β
"If necessary......"
Gaia gestured his neck.
"Understood, Boss. β
Matthew patted the short knife on his waist and walked towards the side door of the shop, pulling down his mask as he pulled down his mask.
Fina watched as Matthew silently drew his short knife, holding it in his left hand and gently opening a crack in the door with his right hand.
He looked out and was a man with his face hidden in his hood.
"Who?"
Speaking impatiently, Matthew looked the tall guy up and down.
"Hello, I'm here for Fina Noelle. β
The other party spoke, and it was a deep male voice.
"She's been a guest at a friend's house, and she shouldn't be back here tonight. β
Matthew prevaricated, ready to strike at any time, only to fall on the opposite person.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Fina tried to struggle for help, but was held down by Aldiga and unable to move.
"I don't know which friend it is?"
The man looked a little persistent, and asked, which made Fina feel a little hopeful, but more worried.
These three people all have some strength, not so easy to deal with, if the three of them go together, the other party may be more than lucky.
"I don't know, I'm just helping to look after the store, why don't you come back to her tomorrow morning." β
Matthew was a little impatient, and in his hand, the short knife moved.
"Alright then, I'll visit again tomorrow. β
The man seemed to have given up at last, and when Fina heard his words, the little flame of hope in her heart was suddenly extinguished.
"Okay, I'll tell her. β
Matthew smiled, and then prepared to close the door.
"Wait, I remember, Fina Noelle said that she was the only one in the shop. β
Hearing the other party's words, Matthew's smile froze.
The next moment, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, and Matthew tried to force the door shut, but the door was stuck in the exposed dark armor and could not be closed.
"You !!"
Matthew hurriedly took out his sword, and the silver trail extended to the opponent's chest, but it was blocked by a hard barrier.
"Lying is not a good boy. β
The other man said quietly, and then the hand that grabbed Matthew's wrist twisted in the opposite direction.
"Ah!!h
Matthew immediately screamed as he watched his right hand being bent at a ninety-degree angle to the center of his forearm, and the white bones mixed with flesh and blood pierced out of his skin, which was terrifying.
"Don't move, this woman's life is in my hands!"
Aldiga hurriedly drew his knife and put it on Fina's white neck, trying to threaten the other party.
"In your hands?"
The man waved his hand slightly, only to feel a shock in the space, and Ordiga's hand holding the knife was neatly cut off, the section was smooth and flat, and even the blood was delayed for a few breaths before gradually gushing out.
"Bronze?"
Gaia felt the seriousness of the situation at this time, and he hurriedly took out a crystal, which is a silent crystal that can temporarily limit the magic power, it is very valuable, as long as it takes effect, then even the bronze level will not be able to exert its full strength in a short period of time.
"Don't make small gestures. β
At the same time that Gaia triggered the silent crystal, I saw a distortion in the space, and the crystal exploded directly, and together with Gaia's left hand, it turned into a puddle of flesh.
"!!"
Matthew's left hand was in his hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knew that Gaia had used the Silence Crystal, and this was the best moment for a sneak attack.
"If you don't resist, you won't die, such a simple truth, why don't you understand. β
The other party groaned, didn't look at Matthew, and walked straight forward.
Matthew, on the other hand, seemed to have passed through some kind of grid, and the whole person was cut into dozens of pieces in the process of rushing forward, falling like rain.
"You're ......"
Aldiga no longer had any will to resist at this time, and turned to flee.
But the next moment, his head exploded entirely, and the brains and blood filled only a small area as if they were bound by something.
"How could it be !?"
Gaia only realized the horror of the enemy at this time, and instinctively trembled.
It's just that Lawson didn't make him tremble for long.
"You have to stay, I have questions for you. β
He spoke, causing Gaia to breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's just that the hands and feet seem a little redundant. β
With these words, Gaia's limbs spurted blood and fell to the ground like a dismembered puppet.
