Chapter 136: Shadow
Living room.
A phantom black flame burned in the fireplace.
Han Dong's eyebrows were full of magic eyes, and he had long adapted to the lifestyle in the dark, and was writing hard in front of the matching table and chairs.
A letter was written quickly.
Get up and go to the bathroom door and politely knock on the glass door.
"Mary...... Help me deliver a letter to the owner here. β
Crunch~
The bathroom door opens.
Mary, who was covered in a dewy sheen, was half exposed.
"For the boss here?"
"Huh?"
The moment Mary took the letter, it was swept away by a miniature space and disappeared.
Teleportation in this space, which is not limited by space and is short-distanced, is as simple as breathing for Marythrice.
"What letter did you write to your boss?"
"The owner of this inn is probably of the [mature] level, stronger than the inhabitants I've met along the way, and he's older, so he must have lived in the city of London for a long time.
His eyes were different from those of the people on the street who were eager to get out of the city.
And judging by the situation that gave us the map, it can be trusted.
I want to see if the boss is still hiring, and if appropriate, we can stay here and work. β
"Whatever you want, I'm going to follow you out on an adventure anyway.
By the way, do you want to come in and take a bath? Nicole and I can squeeze together and barely make room for you. Mary said, twitching her fingers.
"It's better to have someone in the room...... I showed my money on the first floor, and there may have been drunkards who had their eyes on us. β
"Afraid of what? These garbage goods are one of them.
Even if you get into trouble, it's a big deal that you reveal your identity...... Hurry up and take a bath, let Sister Nicole rub your back with tentacles, the softness of the suction cup is just right, it's too comfortable. β
"You wash."
"Cut...... It's boring. β
Han Dong came to the window alone and stared at the city of London shrouded in darkness.
"Half of the people on the streets near the city gate have a look of eagerness, worry, or even fear in their eyes, eager to leave the city where they were born.
What exactly are they afraid of?
Isn't this a royal city ruled by the [Lower Old King-Mother]? If there is any danger, the mother can solve it...... Moreover, the "participant event" has passed, and even if there is a threat from other demons, it is limited to outside the city.
Could it be that [Mother's] issued a decree to oppress the demons at the bottom, or something else?
And, for some reason, I've felt very uncomfortable since I came to the city of London...... It's not that I'm uncomfortable in a demon city-state, after all, I'm easy to adapt to in Toad.
The feeling of unease here is like something hidden in the depths of darkness, constantly watching me. β
γMagic Eye - Pupil Printγ
Concentrate on the visual.
Gray and slender tentacles emerge from the eye sockets, weaving a hexagonal seal between the pupils.
For a time, the visual ability went up a notch again.
Han Dong could even see the direction of darkness emitted by the street lamp, swinging around like ripples.
You can also see some large rats crawling in the alleys, about the size of wild dogs, with fur like earthworms.
There are also some London police officers who are patrolling the streets in disguise as ordinary people, suppressing their breath,
As the field of vision shifted, the afterglow suddenly caught a glimpse of something......
"What's that?"
In an extremely narrow alleyway, even a large rat would be difficult to get into.
Han Dong faintly caught a glimpse of a spiral-shaped, extremely exaggerated twisted arm, which also glowed with a metallic luster.
Moreover, when Han Dong stared at this alleyway, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
Quack~
Star-glowing tentacles grew out of the calves.
Just when Han Dong propped himself on the window edge with one hand, ready to go over to check the situation.
Click......
Something moist and soft suddenly sticks to the back,
The hair that was still dripping was also on Han Dong's shoulder,
A slender tongue poked into Han Dong's ear hole, creating an itch in the ear area while asking in a low voice:
"What are you doing? I didn't come to you to take a bath...... Now standing here looking at the scenery, is this black and vast area as good as the master? β
Stimulated by Mary Tis.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow in the alleyway had disappeared, and the uneasiness had slowly subsided.
"Mary, take me there."
Han Dong stretched out his hand and pointed to the alleyway, and his words were extremely resolute.
Tick~
With a drop of clear water falling at the mouth of the alleyway, the two also appeared instantly.
However, the alley in front of me was less than 20 centimeters.
Han Dong couldn't squeeze in with such a thin body...... Moreover, the dark atmosphere contained here is indeed stronger than that on the streets.
It's just that the shadow I just glimpsed is gone.
Deep in the tunnels as seen by the Magic Eye, there is nothing but dirty water and mutated insects.
"Do you see anything? Why can't the master feel anything? β
Mary's head rested lightly on Han Dong's shoulder, and her round eyes were full of doubt.
"Just accidentally caught a glimpse of a strange dark being,
Moreover, even if I turned the MONOCULUS to the highest gear, I could only get a glimpse of a small part of the features.
With deep spiraling arms and metallic skin, Mary do you know what kind of dark inhabitants this is? β
"There is too little information.
However, spiral-shaped fingers are still rare.
Just ask the locals here and you'll probably find out...... Why do you care so much? Maybe it's just a high-level demon passing by by accident.
After all, something like this happened in the city of London, and it was normal to send some [atavists] to patrol the streets secretly. β
"It's just a gut feeling, let's go back."
Han Dong before falling asleep.
The Count was instructed to keep vigil in the 'Blood Dog Posture'.
Under normal circumstances, the Count would definitely beep twice...... But this time, he was very obedient, and directly separated a terrifying blood dog with a large mouth full of sharp teeth and a large mouth, wandering around the room.
From time to time, an eye will poke out of his mouth to look out the window.
After all, the Earl, as the consciousness of coexistence in his body, also saw the shadow.
Even the Count, who had already reached the door of truth and reached the atavistic body, felt the same sense of unease.
Dream.
Perhaps under the leadership of Toad Zu, he has touched the depths of the [Fantasy Dream Realm]...... caused himself to establish a connection with the dream world, and even if he fell asleep here, Han Dong's consciousness could still go to the [Dream Realm].
Han Dong directly found a secluded place in the dream realm and entered the dream within a dream...... Compared to normal sleep, the efficiency is twice as high.
Early the next morning.
When Han Dong returned in the dreamland, his whole person seemed to be full of energy and radiant.
Knock knock!
However, a hurried knock on the door made Han Dong frown.
Without even waiting for Han Dong to open the door, a dark force directly broke through the door.
Han Dong hurriedly transmitted the sound to Marytis, who was sleeping in the bathroom, signaling her not to be impulsive and let herself deal with it.
It was a group of 'London agents' who broke the door and forcibly invaded.
Covered by a black trench coat with a "Mother of the Night" stamp on their chests, two candles stand on their left and right shoulders.
"There is multiple pieces of evidence that you, along with your companions, murdered the head of the Blackwater Inn last night, Kangonom. Blackwater, please come with us. β
"What?"
