Chapter 64: Prelude

Shortly after dawn, Li Fang was woken up by the sound of heavy footsteps.

Damn, it's Gegu Xuedu and they are here for breakfast again, and they don't know how to change their armor. Retracting his body into the quilt, Li Fang couldn't break free from the strong gravitational pull on the bed. He had just fallen asleep.

But it wasn't long before another heavy footsteps came down from the stairs, this time as if they were leaving.

Wait, do I need to go upstairs to eat?

Yawning and getting out of bed, Li Fang got dressed and walked out of the room, and saw Annabelle in the kitchen.

"Is that the footsteps just now?" Li Fang asked as he washed up.

As Li Fang's friend and colleague, Annabelle and them can be regarded as acquaintances, and they will come to the store from time to time to eat.

"Well, they're here to find the one upstairs, and they're my juniors." She put on her apron and brought the breakfast that had been hot to the table.

"What's back?"

"Yesterday, there was a soldier of the organization living in the store, although she took the secret medicine and took a teenager to hide her eyes, but it was still obvious to me, a senior."

"Gegu and Xue Du came over with a straight face this morning, and asked if there were any suspicious women who had just lived in the store recently, and I sensed that she was still in a state of suppressed demonic power, so I told the truth, but they quickly left with a gloomy face. She didn't kill the demon last night? ”

"Uh, no." So coincidentally, Claire stayed at this hotel, and she stayed upstairs? Li Fang looked confused.

Annabelle took off her scarf and pushed Li Fang, who was still in place, to the table and sat down.

"Looks like you've already met her, so what happened last night?" Annabelle asked curiously.

"......" Li Fang told everything that happened last night, and when she heard that the demon was killing again, she frowned, and complained a little that Li Fang didn't do it as soon as he found it, and dragged it to the present to cause innocent casualties.

And it also attracted the attention of the organization.

"Well, it was a mistake, so I planned to end it up for the next two days, with the one upstairs." Li Fang's face was helpless, he still planned to try his best to let Claire deal with the demon.

"Do you need me to go?" Annabelle was interested: "She's a lot like us now, and I'd love to see how the juniors are doing." ”

"It's okay, but don't make a move, and don't let her find out." Li Fang specially advised: "Of course, if it is not necessary, I will not expose too much." ”

"Heh, are you looking down on me?" Annabelle curled the corners of her mouth and pressed one hand on Li Fang's head, ruffling his freshly washed hair.

Li Fang rolled her eyes, her speed just now couldn't be dodged at all.

"Alas, I don't know if I will open my hand when I grow up, or if you were funny to touch when you were a child."

"......" always felt that Anna was taking revenge on me for touching her head yesterday.

Li Fang tilted his head to the side and escaped Annabelle's hand, "I don't have to be on duty today, is there anything in the store that I need help with?" ”

"That's right, it's time to calculate the ledger, you can sleep a little more after eating, as long as you can sort it out today."

"Okay, no problem." Li Fang agreed, this is what he has always done.

Listening to Anna's suggestion, Li Fang slept back to the cage, but he didn't expect to sleep until the afternoon.

But there was still enough time, Li Fang came to the counter refreshed, took the account book from Annabelle's hand, sat next to her and picked up the pen to start the settlement.

Annabelle was holding a travelogue novel borrowed from nowhere, reading it with relish, but occasionally when her eyes moved over, the corners of her mouth would unconsciously smile.

Although I still miss the old days, but now this kind of life is too good to be true, and it would be too greedy if I was not satisfied. I'm probably one of the best people out of the organization.

Thinking of this, Annabelle smiled and returned her gaze to the page, she had only come to the city with his thoughts, but now she was so satisfied that she didn't want to leave......

It took less than an hour for Li Fang to count and record all the large and small entries in and out of the ledger, and he raised his head and just wanted to say something to Anna, but he didn't want to see Claire walking in from outside the store with a bag of things.

Unlike the expressionless face when they met yesterday, her gentle and lively eyes at the moment are like a different person, and they have changed a lot.

Before she knew it, it was already dusk, and Claire politely greeted the two behind the counter and walked upstairs with a reserved smile.

"I guess she's going to get rid of that demon tonight." Annabelle said with interest: "I jumped out of the window last night when I saw that she was still under the influence of the secret medicine, and she definitely won't be going to fight, but tonight she should take the initiative." I'll go and book a good spot in advance, so you don't put on a bad show. ”

"It's good that you don't get found out then."

After dinner, Li Fang went to the Great Holy Hall to find Gegu Xuedu and the others, and they were discussing something.

After chatting a few words, Li Fang realized that it was too dark last night, and they didn't see the face of the woman they were fighting with, and when they went to find Claire during the day, they just searched the area and happened to find the corner hut.

And Claire had already taken the secret medicine, coupled with the trained acting skills, so that the two of them did not recognize it for a while, but after that, the two became even more suspicious, and planned to go to the corner hut to squat near it later.

"You two are really idle," Li Fang covered his face helplessly: "If that person was a demon last night, you should have been buried in the soil by now." ”

"Think about it, what kind of people in this world are women and have the power to surpass ordinary people?"

“…… You mean, that person was the Silver-Eyed Witch last night? Xue Du frowned and said, "We haven't entrusted them, who did it privately?" Either way, this is our city, and we can protect it ourselves! ”

"But the problem is that as human beings, we can't find demons, otherwise we wouldn't have dragged on for so many days." Li Fang hesitated for a moment, but still continued: "She was commissioned to come, I think she will take action tonight, I plan to wait for her to find the demon and then see the situation, if she can't solve it, I will take action." ”

"In addition, I suggest that everyone not enter the Great Sanctuary tonight, and those who fight demons, I am enough."

"We all know that there are demons hidden in there, but we still insist on patrolling, do you think we will back down because we are afraid of death?" Gegu's serious expression was a little displeased: "We have been practicing our skills hard all these years, but we are not trying to escape in front of demons. ”

"We also want to avenge our brother who died last night!"

Gegu and Xue Du's eyes were determined, and the idea that as professional soldiers of Rapolle, they should stand up when the city is in danger has been deeply imprinted in their minds.

Li Fang's original plan was for him and Claire to deal with the demons, and the other ordinary people stayed away, so as not to delay and cause unnecessary casualties. With the strength of Claire NO.47, it is unknown whether she will win or lose against that demon alone, and it is good to paddle on the side. If the plot itself has inertia, it will save her trouble if she is "semi-awake" in the end, if not, I can only talk nonsense with her...... If that doesn't work, then make sure Claire lives.

This is the bottom line, she must live to face Priscia to the end.

But the problem is that now Gegu and Xue Du don't agree at all, they also want to see the power of demons with their own beliefs and self-confidence!

In the face of such irrefutable words, Li Fang's lips squirmed but he didn't say anything more, and he finally agreed to the idea that they wanted to get involved.

With Anna on the side, they shouldn't be able to roll over the car, but what will happen to the specific situation, let them ask for their own blessings.

Without much discussion, Xue Du Gegu removed the personnel who patrolled the Great Sanctuary tonight, and they themselves stayed inside.

I don't know if the demon will come, but they are using themselves as bait. Li Fang couldn't resist them, and in the end he could only accompany them with a wry smile.

Before the arrival of the Silver-Eyed Witch, they still wanted to give it a try with their human strength.
