At midnight.

In the snow-covered streets, the oil lamps hanging at the entrances of the buildings on the street emitted a flimsy yellow glow, and the roars of monsters and the screams of civilians could be heard from time to time in the distance.

Lawson clutched his heart in one hand and fell to his knees weakly, blood gushing from his fingers, flowing down his wrists into his sleeves, soaking through his clothes, and dripping on the snow of Bai Sensen.

Five or six meters in front of him was a small man less than 70 centimeters tall.

The little man's eyes were bloodshot, his face was hideous, and his skin was swollen and purple, like a baby who had died of suffocation.

It held a small dagger less than 10 centimeters long in its hand, and without moving a hand, it stood at a distance and looked at Rosen.

Lawson clenched his teeth, resisting the terrifying pain in his heart, the other party's carelessness gave him a chance to breathe, and after a few seconds, he snorted, grabbed the dagger in his heart, and used all his strength to extract the dagger bit by bit.

The ghost baby's attack had pierced his heart, and if it weren't for his undead physique, he would have died a long time ago, but even if his body was strong, his movements at the moment still brought him intense pain.

The muscles of his whole body were shaking uncontrollably, and sweat was trickling down his forehead.

"Twitter~ You are really tenacious, you can stay awake after being stabbed in the heart, you must be a mutant, right?"

Lawson was speechless, he was tormented by great pain.

"Don't struggle, Stalker, my dagger is stained with terrible poison, and even if you pull it out, you'll only have a few more minutes to live!" The ghost baby laughed again.

"Is it poisonous?"

Lawson finally pulled out the dagger, because the wound was not hindered by the dagger, and the blood gushing out of the wound was almost spurted. Even if Lawson was a true undead, his body would definitely lose his combat effectiveness if he suffered such a terrifying injury, and it would take a long time to recover, not to mention that his physical strength was far inferior to that of the undead's mutant stalkers.

The ghost baby, perhaps thinking that he had a chance of victory, stood leisurely in the snow: "It is a wonderful experience to watch your prey die in front of you, do you think so, Stalker?" ”

"Hmph~" He was answered by Rosen's muffled snort of forbearance and pain.

As everyone knows, Rosen not only has the physique of an undead, he is also an alchemist, and the alchemy magic can help him control his body almost perfectly.

With a slight movement of his mind, the alchemy magic power located the wound, stopped the bleeding, drove away the poison, and forcibly sealed the wound of the heart together.

The powerful restorative power of the undead's body worked, and after the wound on the heart was fitted, it immediately began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the process, the alchemy magic also continued to push the blood, continuously sending fresh blood into the brain, maintaining the supply of oxygen and energy to the brain, and maintaining the stability of consciousness.

About 5 seconds later, the wound at Rosen's heart was healed, the bleeding stopped, the heart break was basically healed, and the toxins were driven out of the body, but on the surface, Rosen was still holding the wound tightly, weakly kneeling on the snow, and seemed to be able to die at any time.

"Twitter~ Stalker, I can't stand it anymore, do you need me to end your pain?" The ghost baby asked with a smile.

"Strange ..... Monster...... Who..... Who told you to do that?! Rosen asked rhetorically.

"Twitter~ I won't tell you." The ghost baby tossed the dagger in his hand up and down.

"Tell ...... Tell me, let me die...... Cough ~ cough ~ Die understand! Rosen coughed, his face flushed, and his body curled up as if he had been poisoned.

"Okay~Okay~ Stalker, I'll let you die. Do you know Amran? ”

"Bishop Amran of the Flame God Cult?"

"That's right~ it's him! Tsk~ That's a ruthless guy, not only ruthless, but also very generous. He promised great benefits and let us ruin the city. ”

Rosen knelt on the ground, his body curled up, his head against the dirty street, and he was embarrassed: "You guys...... Who are you? ”

"We ...... Twitter~ We are from the Dark City...... Oh, you're so young, you must have never heard of the Dark City, twitter~ It's a pity. The ghost baby threw the dagger again, looked at the opponent whose entire body was almost lying on the ground, and turned to leave: "Goodbye, stalker, you killed 3 werewolves, which is enough." ”

Just as he turned around, Rosen made a surprise move.

Rune Frost Magic: Ice Ring!

A column of runic light and shadow appeared in the air, and after a split second, Lawson emitted a chilling white light.

"Whew~~~"

With Lawson's body as the center, an extremely cold frost air stream mixed with cold white light radiated out in all directions, and the speed was indescribably fast.

In an instant, everything within 10 meters of Lawson's body was frozen, the half-melted soft white snow was frozen as hard as iron, and there was a 'creaking' ice cracking sound, a large amount of cold mist appeared in the air, and the walls on the side of the street were covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost, and the ghost baby in it was almost frozen into an ice sculpture.

It froze on the snow, turning little by little, as if in slow motion a hundredfold slow: "You....... Twitter~~ You ...... You are..... Twitter...... Who is it? How...... How can it be! ”

This time, it wasn't laughing, it was shivering, and it didn't know if it was frozen or scared.

Lawson got up from the ground, picked up the hand cannon, and aimed it at the body of the ghost baby: "This question, after you die, go and ask the hellish earth god." ”

The ghost baby was even more frightened: "You.... Knowing the ground.... God of the Earth! ”

Rosen sneered and pulled the trigger.

"Bang~~"

The powerful bullet whistled out of the chamber, opening a large hole with a diameter of more than 15 centimeters and a transparent front and back in the back of the ghost baby.

I have to say that the strength of the ghost baby's body is still very large, if it is an ordinary person, this cannon passes, and the body has to be broken in two, even a werewolf can't withstand it, and this ghost baby can still keep his body intact, it is not easy.

Of course, the strong body only makes its death a little more decent.

The ghost baby's body was hit by the huge impact of the bullet and flew out, and when it landed on the ground, it was not completely out of breath, there were still slight ups and downs in the chest, and the eyes could still turn, which showed that the ghost baby still had consciousness in his head.

"It's so powerful. If there is an afterlife, remember, never leave your opponent a chance. ”

Lawson raised his cannon and pointed it at the ghost baby's head, pulling the trigger again.

"Bang~~"

The ghost baby's head exploded.

At the same time, Lawson's thoughts shook slightly, he checked the alchemy talent tree, and found that his freedom talent points had become 2.1 points, the ghost baby contributed a full point, and the 3 werewolves contributed another 1.1 points.

'Good harvest. ’

Retracting the hand cannon and replacing it with a new magazine, Lawson exhaled lightly, his heart full of a sense of luck. At that moment, he completely escaped death, but as long as this ghost baby was smart, he would not have any chance of turning the tables.

"The world is so big, there are many strong people, I must not be careless."

"Since there are assassin-type monsters like Ghost Babies who specialize in sniping the strong in the city, it is enough to prove that Bishop Amran has a careful plan...... Anne's situation is very dangerous, I need to rush back immediately! ”

Lawson didn't stop for a moment, and once again pulled his legs and ran in the direction of the Prancing Horse Mansion.

A few minutes later, Rosen saw the main entrance of the Prancing Horse Mansion from a distance, and the oil lamps at the gate were all on, but strangely, the mansion was quiet, and there was no movement.

Rosen's heart 'groaned' and sank: 'Could it be that Annie and they were attacked?' ’

There was silence in the mansion, and at worst, everyone was killed by monsters!

"Don't be true! Don't be true! ”

Lawson quickened his pace and ran towards the gate.

The door of the mansion was wide open, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and the door of the gatekeeper next to the gate opened, and the corpse of the servant guarding the door fell to the ground, with a deep wound on his neck, and his whole head twisted at a strange angle.

Lawson continued to walk towards the courtyard of the mansion.

There was also a bonfire in the middle of the courtyard, and the flames were still burning, but the corpses of a dozen servants were lying on the side of the campfire. The minions were all familiar faces, and Rosen knew almost every single one.

"Lisa the cook, John the coachman, and Hans the Gardener, each had a wound on the neck, and the type of wound was exactly the same, and they all had their necks directly torn off by a powerful claw."

By observing the scars of the corpses and the footprints on the ground, Lawson had a general idea of the monster that broke into the mansion: 'Similar to the body of an ordinary adult man, extremely fast, outrageously powerful, with a pair of sharp claws, and a wealth of combat experience. Annie...... Anne was there at the time, and she fired, at least 4 shots, but none of them hit the target....... This monster uses the minion's body as a cover! ’

Rosen followed the traces and searched the mansion all the way, and when he came to the hall of the mansion, he saw two more corpses, one was dressed as a maid in the mansion, and the other was Mary he brought out from Caopo Village!

Mary leaned against the wall, her eyes wide open, her eyes full of fear, her fatal wound was a bloody hole in her abdomen, and her intestines leaked out of the bloody hole, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The moment he saw Mary, Rosen's heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he stood in place, almost unable to believe that all this was true.

This poor woman, who had just escaped the torment of her illness, died at the hands of a monster after a few good days. If the gods really existed, how cruel he was!

It took him a moment to come to his senses, and he walked over with a heavy heart, crouched down, and reached out to gently close Mary's angry eyes.

"Aunt Mary, I'm late, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" He crouched on the ground, holding his head, his teeth creaking, and he felt a fire begin to burn in his heart, burning more and more, as if it was about to burn his soul to ashes.

After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head: "I will definitely avenge you!" I'm going to let that monster, the messenger behind the scenes, all fall to the ground! ”

With that, he stood up again and continued to follow the trail on the ground.

While tracking, Rosen felt an unspeakable fear in his heart, and every time he walked around a corner, this feeling became even stronger. He wasn't afraid of monsters, he was afraid that when he pushed open a certain door, he would see Anne's body from behind it.

When he tracked all the way to the second floor, Rosen suddenly saw blood stains on the ground, he leaned down, dipped a trace of blood in his fingers, put it under his nose and smelled it, and a familiar smell of blood came to his nose.

"It's Anne's blood, she's wounded!"

Anne is a mutant stalker, and her blood has a unique smell that can be easily distinguished by Lawson's current sense of smell.

Rosen's heart was pounding, and he followed the blood on the ground, tracking all the way forward until he reached the end of the corridor, and he saw a large pool of blood.

The bloodstain was strangely colored, glowing slightly white in the candlelight, and there was a strange, glycerin-like aroma, and a familiar smell of Lawson in the air around the bloodstain.

'It's Veronica's blood!' She must have been very badly injured. Such an injury was enough to make her lose her mobility. But where is she now? ’

Rosen searched in the hallway, from room to room, but he didn't see Veronica, nor Annie, nor little Alice, not even the slightest trace.

These three people disappeared out of thin air.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! No news is the best news. That's all he could comfort himself.

Now the question arises, where does he go to find Anne?

After thinking about it, Rosen suddenly remembered someone: 'Ore merchant Morbius! He's an undead, and he might know something about this monster attack! ’
