Three men.

Their steps were crooked, their faces flushed like fat pigs, and they burped from time to time, and a disgusting smell of wine came out of their mouths.

Looking at the thin figure in a linen robe covering their whole body and unable to see clearly, they grinned and walked up from the alley.

Alan turned his head away and didn't speak.

The drooping hood made it impossible to see his expression.

"Hey!

"This guy...... No...... It can't be a dumb person!"

"Hahaha!"

Three people walked slowly, and one of them even had to hold on to the wall to barely stand.

"Get out. ”

A deep voice came from Alan's mouth.

"Boy, you...... What do you say?"

The man closest to Allen walked up to Allen, tilted his head, and said with a grin.

Everywhere they couldn't see, a dim red light flickered across Alan's right arm under the cover of the linen robes.

Just when the man reached out and wanted to grab Allen's shoulder.

"Alas......"

Alan couldn't help but sigh.

No sooner had the hot breath come out of his mouth, and his hand was already like thunder, grabbing the man's outstretched arm.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, the man couldn't help but scream.

"Ahhh

"Hey, Miscellaneous, let him go!"

The two people behind heard the man's deafening screams, suddenly sobered up a little, and hurriedly rushed up.

The man in front of him punched Allen in front of him, but he was drunk and dragged a bloated body, and the action of punching was as slow as a snail in Allen's eyes.

Alan didn't even look at him, and kicked him the stomach.

The man clutched his stomach and flew out upside down like a rocket, hitting the corner of the wall on the side, and the back of his head was directly knocked out and he fainted.

The man whose bones had been broken could not help but fall to his knees because of the pain.

At this time, the last man was already approaching.

He saw one of his companions kneeling on the ground, screaming like killing pigs, and as soon as the other companion rushed up, he flew out upside down at a speed several times faster than rushing up, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and he was a little stunned for a while.

But a smell of wine came to his heart, and his eyes were red, and he screamed and pounced on him.

Within a second, he covered his eyes and fell to the ground, rolling and screaming even worse than the man before.

It was just a photo, two of the three were crippled, and one was unknown if he was alive or dead.

Alan's hands were shaking.

"You made a big mistake, you know?"

He lowered his head and whispered in the ear of the man on his knees.

"I ...... I was wrong......"

The man gritted his teeth, his facial features were twisted together, and because his hands were still being grabbed by Allen, the whole person couldn't move at all under the stimulation of the severe pain.

"What's wrong?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Alan's mouth.

"Wrong...... Yes...... Wrong shouldn't have ...... Don't provoke ......"

The man was speaking cautiously when suddenly, a sharp pain came from his right arm again.

"Broken! Broken! Tap!"

"Then you say, how should I be compensated?"

The curvature of the corners of Alan's mouth was like a devil's smile in the man's eyes.

Cold sweat kept running down the man's forehead.

"I ...... I have a couple of silver coins ......"

His body trembled.

"Not ...... enough"

The man's pupils dilated.

"You've got to die. ”

The huge head exploded like a watermelon.

Viscous brain, blood, tissue, splashed Allen's hand.

"Murdered!"

"Murdered!"

Not far away, a passing girl couldn't help but shout when she saw this scene in the alley.

The vegetable she was holding in her hand fell to the ground.

Hearing the screams at the mouth of the alley, Allen's heart pounded.

He kicked hard at the mouth of the alley.

The girl sat down on the ground, unaware of the dirt on her white dress.

Eren withdrew his gaze, straightened his bloodstained robe, and then lifted the basket he had left on the ground, and disappeared into the dark alley in a matter of seconds.

People on the street rushed over when they heard the girl's screams and saw her abnormal appearance.

When they came to the entrance of the alley, following the light from the street, and saw the tragedy in the alley, many people vomited directly on the spot.

"Little girl, are you alright?"

A middle-aged woman pulled the girl who had been sitting on the ground to her feet.

From the moment she stared, her gaze had been in a state of godless emptiness.

It wasn't until the middle-aged woman pulled her up that she seemed to wake up from a dream, and the corners of her eyes suddenly moistened.

Burying her head in the arms of a middle-aged woman, the girl began to cry.

The moment the man turned, she felt as if she had been targeted by a monster.

The girl's brain kept telling her.

As long as she dares to make any abnormal movement at that time, she doesn't need a second, and she will disappear from this world forever.

Allen's figure was extremely fast.

Even if he didn't know anything about this huge city, he was confident that no one would be able to track him down from the alley just now.

Unless the person tracking is a magician.

Relaxed, Alan leaned against the wall and slid down.

Although his physical strength was not exhausted, he was still panting.

Myself...... He would want to kill that little girl......

Recalling the feeling just now, Alan couldn't help but be afraid.

When did you become like this?

The devil's mouth kept licking his palms.

Its saliva is thicker.

It seems to be revenge for not letting it devour the man's soul just now, but directly pinching the man's head and exploding it.

He was not affected by sacrifice, but why did he become so tyrannical?

Alan thought with his head down.

Suddenly, there was a strange movement around him.

It was the movement of breathing.

Even if it is extremely small, but for Allen, it is like a thunderclap in the sky.

"Who!"

His right hand reached into the sacrificial bag in his bosom in the blink of an eye.

As long as there is the slightest mistake, the fiery red hilt will appear in Allen's hand at any time.

"Ah......h

A yawning sound came from the darkness.

It was a figure.

Even though there was no light around, it didn't affect Eren in any way.

Since there was no movement in that place when he entered here, Alan didn't notice that there was a person lying here.

Slowly sitting up, the man looked blankly at the dark shadow in front of him.

It was a man.

His hair was unkempt, his face was covered in dirt and dust, and there was even a louse or two on his beard.

The body was wearing only a few pieces of cloth that barely covered important parts, and large swaths of chapped skin were exposed.

Because of the cold night, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Huh?"

He opened his mouth.

Alan crouched down with interest.

"What's your name?"

"Albert Lawrence. ”

"Nice name. ”

"Can a name be eaten as a meal?"

Although dirty, Albert's blue eyes were bright.

"You have good eyes. ”

"Can you eat it if it's good-looking?"

Alan looked at Albert.

It is clear that he is a tramp.

In the past, Allen would never have any intersection with this kind of person.

But in a hurry to escape, he actually met such a person.

"I'll buy you something, will you listen to me?"

After a moment's hesitation, Alan opened his mouth.

"If you want, you can have more bacon. ”

To Allen's surprise, such people who lived in extreme poverty often did not speak well, but Albert spoke fluently.

He didn't think much of it, keeping his surroundings in mind, Alan put his bloodstained robe on the ground, turned around a few alleys, and finally came to a street.

At a bakery, after asking the clerk for a few sandwiches and asking her to add more bacon, Alan returned to Albert with the oiled paper with the sandwiches in it.

Alan could tell that he had been hungry for a long time.

But when Alan reached out to him, he didn't grab it like a homeless man and gobble it up, but slowly uncovered it, then slowly took a small bite and began to chew.

Something was wrong with this man.

Taking Albert's anomaly into view, Alan put his robe on the ground and sat down across from him.

"Say it, I'm listening. ”

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Albert opened his mouth.

"I don't belong in this world. ”

Albert took a bite of the sandwich and chewed it without any intention of opening his mouth.

His azure eyes silently looked at Allen's silhouette in the darkness.

"I don't have any relatives in this world to rely on, and I have to stay away from my woman, or I'll hurt her.

Even my only friend has been keeping his distance from me. ”

Alan whispered.

Albert still didn't speak, and in the dark alley, there was only the small sound of him chewing his food.

"I'm afraid I'll never go back......"

"I'm afraid I'm going to be the person I don't want to be. ”

Alan's voice grew choked.

There was silence.

"I'm just a twenty-five-year-old dick......"

"Why should I be tortured like this......

Albert swallowed the last bit of the sandwich into his mouth and pulled another piece out of the oiled paper.

Still nothing was said.

It's like a real listener, who doesn't say anything, just listens.

The mood finally stabilized a little, and Alan slowly stood up.

"Thank you, you eat slowly, I'll go first. ”

Leaving this sentence behind, Alan turned around and prepared to leave.

Albert looked at his departing back, said nothing, and shoved another sandwich into his mouth.

As the sound of Alan's footsteps faded away, the alley seemed to be silent again.

Standing in the shadows, Alan silently looked at Albert, who was still sitting there, chewing slowly.

He didn't leave, but turned around and quietly returned.

With his body, it was easy to make ordinary people unable to hear any sound.

Although the decision just confided in is a little irrational, it does not mean that Alan is stupid.

Albert finished the last sandwich in the oiled paper.

He hesitated, then stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

Still a little dissatisfied, Albert glanced around, making sure nothing was moving, and then stuck his tongue out of the oiled paper.

He was indeed hungry.

After a full meal, Albert breathed a sigh of relief, clutched his stomach, and leaned against the cold stone.

His eyelids kept fighting.

After a while, he couldn't hold it anymore, his eyes closed, and he let out a slight breathing sound.

Alan walked up to Albert without making the slightest sound.

He lowered his head, looked at the man, and put his hand down his throat.

Alan is gone.

He didn't choose to kill Albert.

All the conversations took place in the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers.

Albert wouldn't have known who he was at all, and besides, he was just a homeless bum.

Even if Albert knew his identity, who would believe the words of a homeless man?

Not to mention such a crazy thing.

Even if anyone really believed it, Eren could excuse himself with the excuse that sacrificing monsters caused insanity.

Frante said that there are many magicians who have become abnormal because of the sacrifice of monsters.

Before walking out into the street, Alan took out Afaryn's cloak from his basket and covered his entire body, especially his right arm.

Without attracting any unnecessary attention, Alan relied on asking for directions and signposts to find the location of his residence.

It's a bit remote, but it's very clean.

Alan walked up the wooden staircase outside the house to the second floor.

His room, in the middle of the second floor.

Slip the key into the lock hole, turn it slightly, and the door opens.

It's just that the door is moving in the process, and the noise is a little loud.

"Hey, the guy next door, I'm sleeping!"

An old lady's angry cry came from the next room.

Alan ignored it, he closed the door and walked inside.

There was a candle on the wooden table in front of the door, which seemed to be for the convenience of those who came in.

Sofas, coffee tables, bookshelves, wardrobes, and beds.

The room was a bit big, but it looked full.

Alan reached out and touched the wooden table, there was no dust on it, it should have been cleaned recently.

Taking off his clothes, Alan lay down on the bed.

There is a thin quilt, which may be cold for ordinary people, but Alan doesn't care.

After three days of running around, he was not using magic all the time, and he was already exhausted.

When he closed his eyes, Eren was already asleep.

When Alan woke up, some early morning light shone through the curtains.

Changing into Afaryn's suit, Eren walked over to the bronze mirror in the corner of the room.

It is dressed in black with dark red patterns embroidered on the corners.

On the surface, it looks unattractive, but the style is very delicate and very comfortable to wear.

It looks like those big custom brands from the previous life.

At this moment, the boulder pendant that Eren had been wearing around his neck suddenly flashed.

Eren stretched out his right hand and slowly poured magic into the pendant.

"I'm at your door. ”

Mia's voice came to Alan's head.

Putting the sacrificial bag and coins into the special pocket of his clothes, Alan walked to the door and opened it.

A black figure leaned against the wooden railing on the second floor, and the cloak barely covered half of his face, quite mysterious.

Exactly the same as the one on Allen's body, Afaryn's outfit.

"Let's go. ”

Alan closed the door, and the loud grinding sound from earlier was heard again.

"Boy, what's the matter with you? Are you deaf? You're a nuisance!"

At this moment, the voice of the old woman from last night came from next door.

An old woman with gray hair was poking her head out of a window not far away, looking at the backs of Alan and Mia, and shouting and scolding.

"I'm sorry!"

Alan shouted, but the old woman didn't look like she wanted to shut up.

In desperation, Alan could only speed up his pace, and when he walked to the street, the voice behind him gradually disappeared.

"What kind of accommodation have you arranged for me?"

Alan turned his head and asked Mia.

Mia didn't look at Allen and walked straight in the direction of the southern city.

"If you don't like it, you can find it yourself. ”
