Bad...... Wrong!

The trembling that rose uncontrollably from the bottom of her heart made Bai Lin's pupils dilate and her body trembled rapidly, as if in front of her at this moment was the top existence in her food chain. The sense of oppression that comes from the nature of life gives her the illusion that she is dancing with natural enemies.

Desperate, she wants to escape, she wants to push it all away. But the hand grabbed her firmly and wrangled her in his arms. It felt like ......

A low gasp flashed in his ears, and Bai Lin was stunned for the next second, and found that he was flying.

Qingming was only temporary, and soon Ed's eyes became confused again. He grabbed Bai Lin, and did not try to break free from her restraints on him, but took advantage of the firm implication between the two to make a bold move, throwing Bai Lin's body into the sky like a chain ball, and whirring in a big circle on the spot.

The mechanical flying knife that was originally coming straight at him was directly swept away by Ed's hand using Bai Lin itself, and it was wiped out. However, Bai Lin did not replace Ed as a hedgehog because of this, all the mechanical flying knives that approached her body temporarily changed direction under the action of a fluctuating magnetic force, like a small flying fish caught in the tornado current, forced to change direction, and circled around Ed with Bai Lin.

When Ed stopped, the knives flew back in all directions as if they were on the trajectory of the time they came, and Bai Lin himself was pressed back to their original position by Ed.

With a big breath, Bai Lin forcibly and quickly stabilized his body, raised his head violently, and looked at Ed with a somewhat changed face. At this time, the chaos in Ed's eyes disappeared again, and he looked at Bai Lin between turns, and the corners of his mouth twitched back slightly.

But this time, Bai Lin didn't believe in any of Ed's performances anymore. The whip wrapped around Eddard's arm snapped back, and she leaped herself and kicked Ed in the chest, her high-heeled boots sending a short, rapid whistling wind.

Ed frowned, and when Bai Lin's blow came to him, he wrapped Bai Lin's thigh from bottom to top with one hand, bullied forward, and pushed Bai Lin out with his strength from the ground. Bai Lin's body flipped upside down in the air and fell to the ground, without stopping, and the speed of the clouds and water retreated backwards, until it stopped after a certain distance.

At this time, the veteran night travelers of Stuttgar no longer have the calmness they had before. She inhaled softly, exhaled slowly, a layer of fine cold sweat oozed from her smooth forehead, like an animal in a posture like a great enemy, her eyes stared at the figure in front of her without flashing, and her narrow eyes had never been as big as they were now.

It's almost to the point where it can be called an ellipse.

Ed didn't chase right away, staying where he was. He seemed to be more strange and unstable than before, even if his gaze did not become chaotic again this time, but it made the crisis in Bai Lin's heart increase instead of decreasing, and he unconsciously tightened a little.

In those dark, clear eyes, she could see nothing, all the calm, the banter, and the hidden violence - it all mixed together.

"......" face with a suspicious confusion, Ed's expression changed little by little, and he looked at Bai Lin in front of him staringly. In his gaze, the figure crept back a little.

Bai Lin had that breathless feeling again. The strange aura of the past reappeared, and this time it seemed to have a real texture, a form that could be seen. That's right, at this moment, Bai Lin was sure that she saw it, she saw it come quietly, quietly appeared, watching it gently and domineeringly wrap around Ed's body, making his human feeling disappear little by little, turning into a hungry beast in human skin.

She watched Ed close his eyes as if he were enjoying himself, and when he opened them again, he was completely unfamiliar with something else. She saw him take a deep, deep breath, the strands of hair on his forehead and the hem of his jacket fluttering and windless, as if an invisible air was surging all over his body, making him feel like he was fighting in another world.

Just when Bai Lin was a little overwhelmed, Ed suddenly grinned, and the corners of his mouth almost reached the root of his ear.

"I'm sorry, miss." He sighed and threw his shoulders like a helpless old friend, "It's time to finish." ”

“……”

Bai Lin's face changed suddenly, but even at this time, he was not completely flustered, the long thunder whip in his hand flicked quickly, and the metallic surface was flowing with layers of electric light, and a phantom swept through the air and drew towards Ed in the distance, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

Ed didn't dodge - he didn't seem to have dodged this kind of attack from Bai Lin, whether he could dodge or not, he always chose to hard-connect. And this time, he is no exception, but it seems to be a little more different from before.

He directly grabbed Bai Lin's whip and clutched it in his hand.

"I'm fed up with your tricks."

Ed, who gritted his teeth a little and was already like a humanoid monster, grinned, grabbed Bai Lin's whip with both hands, and then threw it back vigorously, transmitting huge power to Bai Lin's body through Bai Lin's own whip itself, so that she had no way to control her body that was shaken. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Ed has already flown in front of her eyes.

“！”

Bai Lin's pupils shrank, and she stepped back, and at the same time stabbed Ed in front of the door with a throwing knife with her backhand. And in her gaze, Ed's smile at this moment was extremely strangely distorted.

His hands in the air snapped together, and he slapped the knife that was killing him with his fingers, and stomped on the ground in front of Bai Lin with one leg, tearing the hard floor apart, and the entire floor seemed to shake.

The tooth-souring cracking sound of steel sounded, and Ed's claws were forceful, smashing Bai Lin's knife in his palm. With a negligible amount of blood, the metal fragments that still burst into tiny arcs of electricity spilled onto the ground.

"......" Ed lowered his eyes, looking down at what he could almost call inconceivable at his feet, and had absolutely no way to do it before, pursed his lips in silence, and then bared his teeth, "I almost forgot." ”

He raised his head and looked at Bai Lin, who had been swept away by the impact of the earth when he landed, and sighed and spread his hands. His expression froze.

"Now that I'm back, I can't go back."

Closing his eyes again and taking a deep breath, Ed's pupils condensed into two small dots, and the strange aura that was entwined all over his body completely turned into substance, and the ends of his hair and clothes swayed without wind, and the whole person seemed to really turn into a monster of human skin!

He tilted his head and glanced at Bai Lin in front of him, and at the same time as the latter reacted in horror, he jumped and swooped in the air. This time, Bai Lin not only waved and pulled out his whip, but along with the shadow of the whip, there were also rain-like flashes of lightning.

And in the face of this oncoming fierce attack that seemed to be like a web of thorns without any dead ends, Ed still didn't dodge or dodge—and he didn't have any way to dodge in the air—and directly punched Bai Lin's whip with a spiral again, breaking through the rain of her flying knives.

He didn't dodge the mechanical knives with electricity, but only "crashed" into them with the strength of the spiral, but he only suffered a slight injury, and only a small amount of blood splashed to the ground.

The next moment, Ed came in front of Bai Lin, and before the other party could respond again, he took a fierce step and grabbed her neck, grabbed her whole person with one hand, and lifted her up. The twisted and strange aura that wrapped around Ed's body also enveloped Bai Lin again.

Feeling the power coming from his neck and the pain it brings, Bai Lin looked at Ed's condensed pupils, feeling the domineering and strange aura, and suddenly seemed to think of something.

"Big ......"

"Huh?" Ed tilted his head, indicating that he hadn't heard clearly.

"Big ...... Snake ......"

“……”

"Hades ......"

"Boom-"

Before Bai Lin could finish speaking, Ed punched her in the stomach. The mighty invisible force that suddenly erupted like a flood of embankments passed through Bai Lin's body and bombarded her body, knocking down the row of shelves behind her to the ground, and Bai Lin herself flew upside down like a broken sack and fell in the center of the pile of shelves.

"It's really not a secret, but with the popularity of 'Hades', I didn't expect to meet someone I knew so soon."

Slowly retracting his fist, Ed licked his lips unconsciously, walked to Bai Lin's side with some confusion, looked down at the fox beauty with long hair and pale face, and stroked his chin.

"Miss, you're not simple." He said with interest, "At least it's not just an ordinary night traveler - where did you hear about 'Hades'?" ”

“……”

Bai Lin didn't speak. It was as if she had temporarily lost the power to speak under Ed's fierce punch that had no pity, or she simply didn't want to talk to Eddard. She understood that she had failed now, and it seemed to her that it was useless to say anything more.

And the way she looks at Ed is a bit of a toothache. He sighed, shrugged his shoulders, and then bent down and grabbed Bai Lin by the collar, and slammed his head on the other party's forehead.

In the sudden dizziness and pain, Bai Lin felt that everything in front of her was turning, so that she didn't know where she was for a moment and what had just happened.

"I haven't fully regained full control of the 'Great Snake', so I could have beaten you to death so easily. It's better to pretend to be faint than to play dead. Viciously whispered in Bai Lin's ear twice, Ed stuck out his tongue, resisted the urge to lick twice on that beautiful face, inhaled patiently, and then exhaled slowly.

"Now, tell me," he asked slowly, calming down again, in a soft voice, "where did you learn about Hades, and who told you?" ”
