Late at night, on a suburban road in Kyoto. Shota Takeuchi walked home alone.

Tonight was his last day in Kyoto, and he had already bought a ticket for 10 p.m.

Thinking about his ambition to come to Kyoto when he was young, and then hitting walls everywhere in reality, as well as a series of bizarre encounters recently, made him mentally very bad. Just languishing all the way to the rented house.

But when Shota turned a corner, he suddenly saw the back of a woman in white under the dim street lamp. Originally, there was nothing strange about this, but less than a few seconds after Shota saw the woman, the woman in white suddenly disappeared.

The woman took a step towards her like an ordinary person, but this step was like going to another world, and disappeared directly from Shota Shota's eyes.

Cold sweat covered Shota's back in an instant, and he suddenly rushed over and came to the place where the woman in white had been fighting just now.

'Damn, is it again?' Shota Takeuchi, who was thinking about this, looked left and right, as if he wanted to find the trace of the woman in white. Suddenly, a white shadow appeared in the corner of his eye, and the other party had disappeared around the corner of an alley.

'There! ’

'Don't be fine!' ’

Shota Takeuchi ran quickly towards the corner of the alley, but when he got there, his eyes widened and his face was full of surprise. Because the alley in front of me is a dead end, and there is no one in it.

'What's going on?' Obviously you saw that you came in here? ’

Just as Shota looked left and right, looking for a trace of the woman, a hand patted him on the shoulder. A woman's voice rang out from behind him, "What are you doing?" ”

The sound startled Shota Takeuchi, and he turned around sharply to see a girl in white standing behind him. The girl has long brown hair tied in a ponytail. The characteristic gray pupils, combined with the high bridge of the nose, make for a mystery. Charming face.

'Is it a foreigner?' ’

The rare beauty made Takeuchi Seita a little embarrassed for a while, and said slowly, "You don't have anything to do, right?" Are there any injuries? ”

Shota Takeuchi, who was too shy, didn't notice, and when he turned around, the ponytail girl's face showed a hint of surprise, and a pair of eyes stared at his chest.

The girl took the initiative to introduce: "Hello, my name is Emma. What is your name. ”

"My name is Seita Takeuchi." Takeuchi Qingta smiled awkwardly: "It's not safe here lately, you're a girl so late, it's better to go home quickly." ”

"Really?" Emma was noncommittal, but her heart was full of doubts. According to the calculations of the technical department, this place in front of you. It was the location of the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow who lost contact with the investigators in Kyoto after the worst, but so far, she and Hansen and Pink have checked around and found no problems.

But just now, the Dongyang man in front of her brought her unexpected clues. I saw that on the chest of the man's coat, there was a line of handwriting composed of thoughts. Messages that can only be seen by those who are able.

This is ...... Did Yanbei write it? It's all the code of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and it takes some effort to interpret it. Emma stared at the man's chest, remembering all the ciphers written on the other's chest in her mind.

Emma had been watching for too long, though. Even Shota Takeuchi noticed that something was wrong, he looked down at his coat, patted it with his hand, and said embarrassedly, "I've been wearing this dress for almost a week." It's a little dirty, I'm sorry. ”

But just after Shota Takeuchi said this, Emma grabbed his palm and said coldly, "Don't move." Then she put her hand over his chest.

Shota Takeuchi naturally didn't know that the other party was erasing the handwriting on his chest. It seemed to him that the exotic beauty in front of him suddenly began to caress his chest.

'No...... No way. ’

Is it because God can't stand me when I am so unlucky? ’

'What if he's going to come with me in a moment?' ’

'Damn. There is no money to open a house, if you take her back to the rental house, will she dislike it? ’

Just as Shota Takeuchi's face was flushed and his mind was cranky, Emma's palm had already left his chest. And took out a mobile phone from his bosom and asked, "What's your phone number." ”

Shota Takeuchi was so nervous that he reported a series of numbers. After Emma pressed a few times, the phone rang in Takeuchi's trouser pocket.

Emma said lightly: "This is my phone number, if you encounter anything special, just call me." ”

Shota Takeuchi took out his mobile phone and said, "Okay...... Okay, what do you mean by special things? In the middle of speaking, when Shota raised her head, the girl with the ponytail had disappeared.

A cold wind blew, making Shota Shota cold and shivering.

'Isn't there going to be a ghost?' But he looked at the phone number on his phone, and he was so real that he was not sure.

In between gains and losses, Shota Takeuchi has already walked back to his nest in Kyoto. It was a single room of less than 10 square meters. Housing prices in Kyoto are so expensive that even in this location close to the suburbs, with Takeuchi Seita's income, he can only afford to rent such a 10 square meters.

There is not much space, although it is small, but it has all five organs. The small single room has air conditioning, a refrigerator, a gas stove, and even a toilet and shower room separated by plastic panels.

Tonight, though, all the things in the room had been put away, leaving only a few boxes at the door.

Looking at the room where he had spent a year, thinking about the hard work and hard work of this year, Shota Shota sighed softly: "Do you still have to leave after all?" ”

Shaking his head, Shota seemed to shake his inner hesitation out of his head, picked up his suitcase and walked out the door. After taking a look at the room where he had lived for a year, he closed the door and left without looking back.

It's eleven o'clock in the evening. On the suburban path, only Shota Takeuchi walked alone under the dim street lamp, and he couldn't help but think of the girl in white who appeared just now.

I hesitated: 'Do you want to make a call now?'

But she asked me to call her again when I had something special, and now I call her, will it make her angry? ’

Just when Shota Takeuchi was thinking so cranky, he didn't notice that the mobile phone in his trouser pocket was constantly vibrating, and unconsciously, he seemed to be walking further and further away, the originally bright street. I don't know why the street lights are broken today, and in the dim light, everything seems to look a little unreal.

There was a sudden whoosh.

Before Shota could react, a burst of cheers came from behind him.

"Be careful!"

An arm grabbed his arm, and an unimaginably large force dragged him forward, followed by a flash of black light, and when Shota reacted, he found himself in a position hundreds of meters away.

He looked at his side in shock, and Emma, the foreign girl just now, was grabbing his arm at the moment, looking at the position just now with a wary expression.

Shota followed her gaze. I saw that there was a man standing in the place where he was standing just now, the man was wearing a black tights, a mask on his head, and a metal dagger in his hand, just like a legendary ninja.

Unlike Shota Takeuchi's confusion, Emma is most wary of men.

Just now, after she wrote down the code left by Yan Bei, she rushed back to make peace with Hansen and Pink, and then decoded it. Because she originally thought that Yan Bei casually left it on the nearby residents as a clue left by him.

But after decoding, she only got four words. That is the 'Elixir of Eternal Life.'" The line of reading qi code on Takeuchi Qingtai's body is such a clueless four words.

Confused, Emma thought about it and decided to go to Shota Takeuchi. However, the phone was not answered, and Emma could only release her mental energy to scan. Fortunately, Shota Takeuchi didn't go far, but when she found the other party, she saw a man dressed like a killer attacking Takeuchi Shota from behind, and it was a crisis. She used spatial teleportation to save Shota Takeuchi.

The masked man let out a sneer, but he didn't say much, the next second. Disappeared from Emma's sight.

"Invisible?" Just as Emma thought this, a shocking wave of hostility came to the back of her head, and when she turned around, the tip of the metal dagger was less than half a meter away from her.

At the moment of crisis, a pitch-black circular portal opened in front of the dagger, and another circular portal appeared behind the head of the man in black. When he stabbed the entire dagger through, it went straight through the portal and stabbed him in the back of the head.

Another series of sneers came from the mouth of the man in black, and he had disappeared again and then appeared.

Same angle, same dagger, except this time the aiming position became Emma's vest.

Seeing the two strange attacks of the man in black, Emma's heart flooded with a name famous in the Western Continent.

'Samael. ’

'Tyrell's national-level powerhouse organization, one of the fifth-level powerhouses of the Abyss of Annihilation, nicknamed the Void Walker. ’

'He is known as one of the most difficult powerhouses to kill in the entire world. ’

'Competence...... Teleport. ’

A flurry of information rang in Emma's mind, but she didn't have time to think about why two of the two fifth-level abilities would appear on the outskirts of Kyoto at the same time.

In the face of the other party's strange attack, she pulled Takeuchi Seita to step out, and in a flash of black light, the two had disappeared in place.

There was a bang, and Shota Takeuchi's suitcase was only halfway into it before it was slashed by a metal dagger and turned into countless pieces.

Looking at the deserted streets, the man in black once again let out a series of sneers, and said the first sentence since he appeared: "Can you escape?" ”

……

While Emma's investigation in Kyoto was getting deeper, Li Anping was attending a meeting in Tianjing. The content of the meeting was related to the marriage plan he had previously proposed.

He sat at the head of the conference table with a booklet in his hand. To his left is the current patriarch of the Nine Great Clans. On the right-hand side, there are the leaders of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow headed by Liu Sheng and Liu Feng.

In ordinary people's families, marriage is a major event. What's more, it is now Li Anping, the uncrowned king of Great Xia. The issue of his marriage is related to the rise and fall of the entire Great Xia and even the entire Eastern Continent.

But no one can force him to choose, everything depends on Li Anping's own will. Therefore, in the booklet in his hand now, all the reserve candidates of the Nine Great Royal Families and the Great Xia Dragon Bird that they think have no problem are listed, and let Li Anping use them as a reference.
