The sky on a winter night is like an abyss with no end in sight.

With the lights of the city, the first snow descends on the world, soothing the pain of this world like an angel.

"It's Christmas Eve the day after tomorrow."

Standing by the window, Han Qingluo reached out, took the first snowflake, and let it fall into the warm palm of his hand, melting like a flash in the pan.

Jin, who was guarding her side, sighed almost invisibly: "Don't worry, maybe Lord Jue, they have defeated the demon clan and are on their way back, they will come back to celebrate Christmas Eve together." ”

Listening to Jin's comforting words, Han Qingluo pulled the corners of her mouth bitterly, she knew that it was impossible for them to rush back from far away in Italy.

In Bevo Manor, she has completely lost access to the outside world, trapped in this golden wire cage like a bird with broken wings, unable to spread her wings and soar in the free sky.

During countless long waits, she often wondered if she was also a Blood, would she be able to fight alongside him in the name of justice?

The thoughts, which were constantly suppressed in the depths of her heart, became more and more intense in the uneasiness and panic, and occupied her entire consciousness.

She lowered her head and spread her palms: how long had she not properly picked up her weapon, fighting to protect the people she cared about, the palms that were once calloused all over her palms, the traces of hardship had long faded.

The dull days that I once envied came, but I felt bored, as if something was missing.

The essence of human beings may be contradictions, what can't be obtained is always in turmoil, maybe she is a guy who loves to toss in her bones, and she can't live a dull life.

Han Qingluo took a deep breath and shifted her gaze to the window, Xiaoxue was still falling, and the warmth of the fireplace beside her was still wrapping her, everything was so quiet and natural.

But her heart was like a raging storm, and she couldn't calm down for a long time......

Venice, Italy.

A sentinel near the Red Mansion of the Seven Elders.

"What's going on tonight?"

"Nope!"

Slapping the snowflakes falling between his hair, Garlo shook his head at Sevi as he approached.

It's been almost two months, and the day after tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and many of the Bloods want to stay at home and spend a comfortable Christmas.

However, the more we get to this juncture, the more we can't relax, and if an accident happens to a lively festival like Christmas, the situation will be even more chaotic.

"This demon clan is too inkblotted, it's been hanging us for almost two months, alas, it's really troublesome!"

Sevi pursed her lips helplessly, and blew into the falling snow in boredom, but the small air flow caused it to change direction in an instant, and it fell to the corner of the street.

The breeze blows, and this snowflake swayes and swirls...... Finally landed on a windowsill.

In the bright candlelight, it shimmered with a crystalline shimmer, attracting the attention of the man at the table.

He put down his pen and looked out the window, the bright streets, the falling snowflakes, the tenderness of this winter was vividly interpreted on this night.

His thin lips moved slightly, and he muttered, "Christmas Eve, it's coming." ”

Between the pen and paper that was placed in front of the table, it was written: Merry Christmas, dear Luo......

——

The grand festival is coming, and the human world is festive.

Every family is preparing for Christmas Eve, a sumptuous dinner, exquisite decorations, and joy in every corner.

But where there is light, there is still darkness.

The creature born of darkness is still on the move, waiting for an opportunity to act.......

Time flies.

On Christmas Day, the sky was foggy and it seemed that a heavy snow was accumulating.

There are very few pedestrians on the streets, and everyone is making final preparations for tonight's grand festival.

"Knock knock!"

A quick knock on the door disturbed Jue, who was resting, he opened his eyes, flashed to the door, and opened.

"Boss!"

Before the door could be opened, Yuke's panicked shouts could be heard outside the door.

……

Across the street corner, Jue and You Ke hid in a dark corner, and saw the Red Mansion of the Seven Elders from a distance, surrounded by a group of heavily armed guards.

"What's going on?"

Jue turned around and looked at Yuke.

Yuke was also at a loss and shook his head: "I don't know, all of a sudden, the human race organized a group of guards and surrounded the Red Mansion. ”

At this time, all the blood clans in the Red Mansion were controlled by the humans who forcibly broke in.

They can't resist, and if their identities are revealed, they will be condemned as heretics and burned at the stake, so the power of the secret clan here will be implicated.

"Why did this general break into the house of one of our merchants?"

In the face of the powerful human guards, Lauren, as the head of the Seven Elders, naturally took it calmly and looked directly at the leading general.

The general ignored Lauren's words, waved his hand, and shouted, "Search! ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers behind him swarmed up and directly searched the entire Red Building.

"Someone has reported that you are an alien and are conducting an illegal assembly, and I am here to search for it."

Looking at Lauren with extraordinary bearing in front of him, the general finally set his eyes on him, but the contempt in his eyes was still undiminished, he was just a businessman, he couldn't look down on it.

Hearing this, Lauren grinned: "We only have honest businessmen here, there is nothing unusual, is the adult searching wrong." ”

At this time, the other elders present also echoed: "Yes, yes, we are all famous local businessmen, don't believe it, look! ”

This is where the ever-prepared identification comes in handy, and the various elders take out their bosoms to prove their worldly identity.

The general glanced at it leisurely, then withdrew his gaze, and said nonchalantly: "Is it a normal merchant organization, wait for me to search!" Before the results come, please come and sit with me! ”

Unexpectedly, the soldiers sent out to search just pretended to be in the office, turned around, and by the way, they also fished out some valuable ones and brought them out of the Red Mansion.

"This ......"

This blatant trespass into the private house, and also robbed the things in the house, the seven elders were stunned by this operation, this group of human beings is simply too lawless!

"This general, if you want to take people away, you have to have evidence, right?"

Lauren gritted her teeth in anger, but she still had to keep her face calm and questioned in a voice.

I saw the general glance at him contemptuously, and glanced at his subordinates beside him: "Less nonsense, take it all!" ”

"Lord Hull, don't get excited......"

At this time, among the group of elders behind Lauren, McCarvey's elder Ryo whispered to Hull, who was accumulating blood strength and preparing to resist, that once he was exposed, the entire relationship with the Red Chamber would not be spared.

Reluctantly, Hull finally gave up his resistance under the persuasion of Elder McCarvey.

In this way, the highest decision-making organization of the Secret Party, the Seven Elders and their entourage, as well as the representatives of the patriarchs of the various clans of the Secret Party, were all "invited" out of the Red Chamber by a group of human guards, all the way through the Governor's Palace, through the Bridge of Sighs behind it, and were imprisoned in prison.

At the same time, hidden deep in the secret room under the Red Mansion, Norton detected the movement above, and looked at the ten holy artifacts that were close at hand, blocked by the magic array, and his eyes overflowed with deep worry.

At the critical moment, the Supreme Command and various important missions were imprisoned in prison, which was not good news for the rest of the blood clan.

Many of the blood clans hidden near the Red Mansion were deeply worried, and now, the heavy responsibility of command fell on Jue.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears, Jue gathered the representatives of the remaining unaffected forces, Giovanni and Assame, as well as Revorno, and the guards who scattered to keep an eye on him, in a hotel far from the Red Mansion.

"Now, all the forces of the secret party have been restrained because of the involvement of human beings, and your people must be hidden and not exposed!"

Jue frowned, and a bad premonition was born in his heart, the surprise attack of this group of humans was absolutely inseparable from the demons!

"What then? If the demon army takes advantage of this opportunity, our manpower will not be enough to deal with it! "The strength of the secret party will definitely not be ordered by foreign tribes, and without the order of the head, they are just a group of ornaments. ”

This is what Jue is most worried about, although the two parties of the secret party are united, but his status is not high enough to have the command of the secret party's forces.

At the moment, he can only rely on the strength of the demon party to maintain it.

"After all, it's still that this group of secret party blood clans are too stupid, what do you have to do in this small place to gather holy weapons, isn't this ready-made fat meat for people to gnaw?"

Nan Li'er's face was full of disgust, her hands were clasped in front of her chest, even if there were Garlo and Sevi of the Secret Party Alliance present, they unceremoniously opened their mouths to complain.

At this moment, the faces of Galo and Sevi suddenly darkened.

Nan Li'er's words were not unreasonable, but it was only under the agreement with the Seven Elders Alliance that such a thing was promised for the sake of a common goal.

Now, when she said that, it seemed that what they had done before was too hasty.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not good, Jue immediately opened his mouth to relieve it: "Okay, now is not the time to argue about right and wrong, as long as the holy weapon is still in our hands, keep it well, let's go back and stand by first, the demons may attack at any time, and we can't take it lightly!" ”

"Hmm!"

The rest nodded yes and left the room one after another.

When it was over, Jue left Zack, the team he led was the most critical, if the situation was not right, they could cover everyone's retreat, which was the last card.

"If the situation changes, please leave it to you!"

Jue looked at Zach solemnly and said loudly.

Zach also responded solemnly, the demons are their enemies of Revorno, and now, the entire blood society is about to face a crisis, and as one of them, they naturally have to go all out to do their part.

"Go ahead!"

Seeing Zack's figure disappear from view, the worry that had arisen in Jue Zhong could not be resolved.

Even if you are well prepared in advance, you still can't predict any surprises in the future.

Tonight is destined to be a very peaceful Christmas Eve......
