The 20-meter-long lightsaber swept forward.

The Sword of Dawn, which has been upgraded twice in a row, already has a slashing power above the chariot level at this time.

When facing the more than ten people in front of him, the swept lightsaber did not have any stagnation.

Or rather, to be precise......

Destroy the wither!

The expressions of more than ten people full of greed and malice directly froze on their faces.

Jason continued to move forward.

Tread, stomp.

Jason walked through the encirclement of more than ten people in front of him, and when he walked out of the gate of the street park, behind him, a red line appeared on the bodies of the more than ten people.

Then, this red thread involuntarily expanded.

And then—

Poof, poof!

More than a dozen crimson liquids rose into the sky and turned into little raindrops.

The first rays of dawn shone on these raindrops.

Their colors became more and more vivid, like strange fireworks, bidding farewell to Jason's departure.

The tall back didn't stop at all.

Only when moving forward, the sound of firm footsteps.

Tread, stomp.

The dense sound of 'raindrops' accompanied by such footsteps kept ringing, and at this time, Kuya came back to his senses.

What just happened?

Is that...... Sword?

Kuya looked down at the corpse on the ground that was still exuding a malicious aura just now, but now it became cold, she looked at the figure that was fading away, the crimson filled her vision, but the deep black seemed to be eternal, just like a painting with black all over it, splashed with red paint, and those paints slowly flowed down the canvas, but they couldn't hide the original black.

Bask in the first rays of morning sunshine.

Dressed in blood-red black, it's the same...... Brilliant and shining!

Kuya couldn't help but be attracted by this strange beauty.

Strongly impacted, she was immersed in this brutal beauty.

It wasn't until Jason's figure was about to disappear that she came back to her senses.

"Wait......"

Subconsciously, Kuya was about to catch up.

But when she rushed to the entrance of the park, a clear slash pattern appeared on the concrete walls on both sides of the park, which had no gate.

It's like cutting tofu with a knife.

Thundered!

The walls on both sides collapsed straight up, and dust flew up.

By the time the dust settled, Kuya had long since lost his sights of Jason.

Kuya looked at Jason in the direction he had left, and after a moment, she came back to her senses and took out her communicator and dialed a number.

About 3 minutes later, a mobile team belonging to the 'Holy Snake Society' appeared.

They silently cleaned up the pieces and, as ordered, began to track down the origins of the corpses.

An hour later, a clue appeared in the secret stronghold of the 'Holy Snake Society'.

Kuya, who had been waiting for a long time, directly picked up the note of the report.

"Hephaestus Bar?"

Kuya whispered, then showed the note in his hand to Sicott and Recius.

The two C-class personnel of the 'Holy Snake Society' had already learned what had just happened from Kuya's mouth, and they all became serious at this time.

Because, they find that things seem to be far more complicated than they imagined.

Still, some things can't be changed.

For example: the habits of Recius and Sicot.

"I haven't heard of it, you know, and my free time is at home and gaming."

Recius gave up after one look.

He's got a lot of ideas about what new games will be released this year, but the bar ...... He really hasn't been there once, where is there a game to play and have fun.

"I don't know, you know, I'm going to clubs a lot."

The gray-haired Sicott smiled a little shyly.

Men, you have to do it from the beginning!

When I was a teenager, I liked a twenty-year-old, that ...... Unchanged for a lifetime!

Kuya looked at the two of them, and her breath became rapid again.

She really wanted to ask how these two colleagues managed to get into the 'Holy Snake Society' and become C-class personnel!

If the 'Holy Snake Society' is all such people, how can the 'Holy Snake Society' not be finished?

Right!

It must be a member who is as conscientious as her to have the glory of the 'Holy Snake Society'.

"Hasn't the Director come back yet?"

Kuya's gaze swept over the note again, and after jotting down the address, he asked directly.

The previous meeting made her smell danger.

She needed a temporary partner.

And the director of the 'Holy Snake Society' in Ngong Thanh is naturally the best choice.

"There are too many forces and individuals in Angcheng, and the supervisor is responsible for monitoring all this, and it is impossible to appear in a short period of time."

Hearing Sicott's answer, Kuya frowned.

But helpless.

The style of the 'Holy Serpent Society' dooms them to be as upright as the 'Shelter', each of them has a hidden identity, which is naturally a good protection in normal times, but at this time it becomes extremely restrictive, and it takes more effort to achieve the same effect as the 'Shelter'.

This is due to the help of a number of D-class personnel.

Otherwise...... It's simply an impossible task.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Kuya's eyes looked at the two colleagues in front of him.

She's going to pick one to be her partner.

But before she could speak, Sicott staggered to his feet.

"I'm old, and the world is already for you young people!"

With that, Sicott turned and walked out.

And Recius followed.

"I need to finish my 3,062 days of all-night records."

Leaving such words, Recius disappeared as soon as he slipped away.

And the swaying Sicott also disappeared.

Looking at the empty stronghold, Kuya couldn't help but grit her teeth, and the angry voice almost squeezed out from between her teeth—

"Bastard!"

"Two bastards!"

Sicott and Recius, who had already walked out of the secret stronghold, stood outside the door and looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Well, I dodged it again."

"Kuya probably scolded us bastards again."

Recius sighed.

"yes, it's not easy."

"Originally, I was optimistic about D1314, and I could make it easier for him to be promoted, but unfortunately he directly became the contact person for the 'abnormal', alas."

Sicott also exclaimed.

And the same exclamation shortened the distance between the two.

"Going for a drink?"

"I know of a tavern that's open 24 hours."

Sicott proposed.

"No, I'm going to finish my 3062-day all-night record."

Recius refused.

"You're not talking about excuses?"

The gray-haired Sicott was surprised.

"It's not."

"It can only be said that it is a half-truth."

"Who knows if it's true or not?"

Recius said with a smile.

"yes."

"Who knows if it's true or not."

"We're just trying to get around, and being comfortable is a day."

Sicott nodded in agreement.

Then, after staring at each other for a moment, the two exchanged cherishes.

"I hope to see you next time."

"You too, be careful."

"Well, take care."

The two parted at the door.

Recius Comes Home Liver Game.

Sicott went to the club to feel the warmth.

They choose the way that works best for them to do the final relaxation.

Because, they all have a premonition of the pressure before the big war.

Kuya felt similarly, but it was far less clear than Recius and Sicot, because most of her energy was drawn to the so-called 'Talon 13'.

For 'Talon 13', Kuya doesn't have any clues.

So, she had to start with the 'Hephaestus Bar'.

She had confirmed that those who showed up in the park were there to find out.

Again, she can be sure that D1314 has not leaked any information, and she has no problem with any of them.

Then there's only one possibility left—

'Talon 13' has something wrong there.

Or maybe there's something wrong with the 'masked man'.

But either way, it's her chance to find 'Talon 13'.

The thought of being able to see that deep and tall figure again, Kuya's steps couldn't help but speed up.

It doesn't mean anything else.

She's just curious.

Curious where 'Talon 13' came from.

Curious about the relationship between 'Talon 13' and 'Masked Man'.

Also curious...... What's going on with that dazzling sword?

With the help of 'anomalous objects'?

Or are you 'anomalous'?

With a lot of doubts, Kuya appeared in front of the 'Hephaestus Bar'.

The bar is indoors close to the sewer area, which is deserted, dilapidated, and the buildings are extremely old, in layman's terms: the slums.

Located at the intersection of the Downtown and the Slums, the 'Hephaestus Bar' is a free-standing building, which looks like a dated building on the outside, but clean on the inside.

"Sorry, our hours are over."

"If you want something to drink, it's evening."

Facing Kuya, who pushed the door in, the bartender said expressionlessly.

Kuya ignored this, and she strode closer to the bar.

"Street Park."

"'The Masked Man'."

"'Talon 13'."

Kuya reported these words.

And the bartender in front of him was still expressionless.

"Ma'am, I don't know what you're talking about......"

"Then why don't you let the gentleman who is hidden behind the wine rack talk to me?"

Kuya interrupted the bartender.

Her eyes were on the wine cabinet full of all kinds of liquor.

Although the wine cabinet was airtight, she could clearly hear the breathing behind the wine cabinet.

Some heavy breathing!

"Ma'am, I don't know what you're talking about, please leave!"

The bartender's face sank and his tone became unkind.

Moreover, the palm of his hand has already touched the side of the bar.

There's a shotgun there.

"Alright, Tauer."

"Let this lady in."

"Also, you're ready to get off work."

A hoarse voice rang out from behind the wine cabinet.

"Yes, sir."

The bartender bowed respectfully, the etiquette was a little strange, and what was even stranger was that the bartender's lips moved slightly.

Kuya, who is not very proficient in lip language, can only roughly distinguish the words such as 'what long live'.

Click!

There was a sound of gears turning under the floor.

A room appeared behind the wine cabinet.

A man draped in brown linen was sitting there, the floor was full of empty wine bottles, and the room was filled with the foul smell of alcohol, which Kuya could feel even in the bar.

This immediately discouraged her desire to get closer, and she just walked around the bar and stood in front of the wine cabinet to look at each other.

The thick brown linen cloth covered the other party's face, but judging from the sitting posture, the other party was not tall, his posture should be a little rickety, and the hoarse voice before should obviously be an old man.

But such an old man gave Kuya a sense of oppression.

Just sitting there and not moving made Kuya feel like she was seeing a mountain.

The other party must be in a high position!

Kuya, who has had a similar experience, is very sure of this.

"Hello."

Kuya maintained the etiquette.

"Hello, Ms. Kuya."

The other responded.

This surprised Kuya.

Although her identity will no longer be a secret when she becomes the person in charge of this follow-up 'contact' operation, being able to show up only one side of her and find out her information so quickly is enough to show that the old man in front of him has no less power in Ngong City than the 'Shelter' and the 'Holy Snake Society', but then Kuya came back to her senses, and she chuckled: "Sure enough, you are worthy of finding the whereabouts of the 'Masked Man', and I can't hide anything from you." ”

Obviously a slightly flattering word, who doesn't love a compliment?

Especially when you want to get more information, compliments are the best way to use.

It's a pity that the old man opposite doesn't seem to eat this set at all.

Just staring at Kuya.

The shadow under the hood obscures the entire face, including the eyes.

But Kuya felt the gaze of the shadows.

She felt a burst of hair, and just as she was about to say something to relieve her stress, the old man opposite let out a hoarse laugh.

"I didn't find him."

"He found us."

The old man said.

We?

Kuya keenly grasped the key words.

Then, she didn't speak, because the old man in front of her said to himself, "We have long admired the 'masked people' as we do to them in legends. ”

"We haven't been able to confirm whether they exist or not."

"But the appearance of the 'masked man' allows us to confirm them."

"They really exist!"

"We want to touch the legends, because we don't want to live in their shadow - Ang Thanh, we only need a voice, but ......"

As he spoke, the old man laughed again.

The hoarse laughter was filled with hoarseness.

"We miscalculated their power and the way they acted."

In the hoarse voice, there was a cry.

That's right, crying!

Kuya never imagined that the old man in front of her, who was obviously in a high position, would cry in front of a stranger like her.

Moreover, the cry is full of ...... Fear!

Yes, fear!

Listen to the trembling cry!

If not fear, why is there such a sound?

Unconsciously, Kuya, who was affected, swallowed her saliva.

"Who are they?"

Kuya asked.

As soon as she spoke, she was startled.

Because, at this moment, her voice is no longer pleasant, but because of nervousness, it has become hoarse.

"Legend has it that at night in Ngong Thanh there is a group of dark walkers who rule the city, and in this city, anyone who disobeys their will will be wiped out by their claws, even if you seem to be the ruler of the city."

"Because, in this city, there is only one real ruler!"

"They keep the operation of Ngong Thanh, and they maintain the balance of Ang Thanh!"

"It was like that a thousand years ago."

"A thousand years from now."

"Unchanged for a thousand years!"

"They are ......"

"Night Stalker Court!"
