Chapter 324: Floating City
A pair of wings composed of light appeared behind Yustya's back, white as snow wings blooming with purple brilliance, and in stark contrast, Black Feather's pair of jet-black wings continued to wither, and soon turned into a puddle of pitch-black slime, and the strange magic patterns on its body disappeared completely, and even the blood light in its pupils dissipated little by little.
But Eustia was constantly screaming, as if she was suffering inhuman pain. The graceful swing of her wings contrasts sharply with Justia's intense pain.
When the brilliance completely dissipated, the original hideous and terrifying monster had turned into a young man in his thirties, who had just fallen asleep due to excessive fatigue.
"This ...... What the hell is going on?" Eustia sat down on the ground, sweating profusely, apparently not recovering from the intense pain she had just had.
Xiao Qiuyu said, "I'll take you to meet someone, and then I'll explain all the truth to you."
……
After settling Kugel in the hotel, Xiao Qiuyu hurriedly sent a letter calling Ruchius, who was already asleep.
"What's the matter...... Eh, isn't this Captain Kugel, why are you here?"
Ruchius ran over in a hurry, and when he saw Harakuroha, he recognized his identity in surprise.
Kugel was originally the captain of Hagari, and naturally he was also a former subordinate of Ruchius, and the two were very familiar with each other.
Originally, after Hei Yu was hit so hard and was forcibly stripped of the angelic power in his body, even if he was immortal, he only had half a breath left, but Xiao Qiuyu had the bug artifact of the Holy Relic Cloth, and in a few minutes, he repaired his broken body.
Kugel said, "That's right, because I sent my father to the healing home, so I was skeptical that the hospital could cure the feathered patients, so I sneaked into the healing home, and I was surprised to find that they were brutally killing the feathered patients in the name of healing, and extracting some kind of energy from their bodies."
"The extracted energy is the power of the angels." Xiao Qiuyu added.
Rukius said, "Sure enough...... I knew that the healing home was not as simple as it seemed!"
"I was discovered, so they grabbed me for experiments, and they forcibly instilled that angelic power into me, trying to transform me into a new angel...... The plan basically succeeded, but not long ago, an accident suddenly broke out in the research institute, and the guards inside fled to death, so I escaped."
"It wasn't an accident," Rukius said indifferently, "Not long ago, I hired gangsters to attack a research institute in prison, and I hired them to set that fire......
"I see...... It was a chaotic day, so I managed to escape from prison!"
Rukius snorted, staring into Kugel's eyes and asking, "In that case, why don't you go back to the Hagari headquarters and report back to me?" And you have been committing murders in prison one after another, and as far as I know, there are no less than 100 victims!"
Kugel was originally a subordinate of Rucius, so Rucius, who was quick to come and polite, spoke in a very strict tone towards him...... In Rucius's view, Kugel was grossly derelict in his duties, and he also created boundless murder!
"I ......"
Xiao Qiuyu interjected, "Let me explain, ordinary people can't transform into angels, so what was injected into Kugel's body was the power of a filthy angel, so he was not transformed into an angel with snow-white wings, but a fallen angel with pitch-black wings!" …… This fallen angel is so wicked that it will devour his own mind and become a bloodthirsty and murderous demon."
"But he ...... now."
"That's the point I'm going to tell you," Xiao Qiuyu said to Eustia, "This Miss Eustia is the reincarnation of a legendary angel, so I let Eustia completely absorb the angelic power in Kugel's body, which successfully transformed Kugel from a fallen angel back to a human."
"Heavenly ...... Angels."
Hearing such shocking news, Eustia stood directly on the spot.
Xiao Qiuyu continued, "Now, Ruchius, you must do everything possible to protect this girl and keep this secret at the same time, otherwise if she falls into the hands of some careerists, it will be a catastrophe for the entire city!"
Kugel hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and not leak a word."
He was so eager to show his loyalty, apparently afraid of being silenced...... Only the dead are the safest!
Rukius hesitated for a moment, then said, "Kugel, you are no longer fit to continue serving in Hagar, so stay in my mansion and be protected with Miss Eustia."
Rukius's meaning is obvious, he can not kill Kugel, but he must be placed under house arrest and not allowed to move around.
Kugel also knew that it was a great fortune to know such an important secret and be placed under house arrest, so he nodded and agreed.
Rucius said, "Judging from reason and logic, this is the safest way now...... After all, you used to be a test subject in the research institute, and if you show up on the street again and someone finds you, they will immediately arrest you and track you down as soon as they see you recover from Black Feather to a human."
Ruchius was telling Kugel, "I'm protecting you while I'm under house arrest," so as to buy hearts and minds and reduce his hostility.
Then Rucius immediately set himself into action, and he took Eustia and Kugel out of prison and placed them in his own home...... And Xiao Qiuyu was naturally invited to his house by Lukius.
After all, Hei Yu has been captured, and Xiao Qiuyu has nothing to do in prison next.
……
That night, Xiao Qiuyu found Lucius again, and he said, "We should talk about it!"
Rucius asked, "What?"
Xiao Qiuyu said, "Before that, you answer me first, how does this floating city float in the air!"
Rucius hesitated for a moment, as if he couldn't make up his mind.
Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Qiuyu said, "We all know very well that the earth is full of filthy evil magic, and all cities can only float in the air to avoid the erosion of filth, and once they land on the ground, all human beings will perish...... But why does this city float in the sky?"
Rukius breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Well, this news is very exciting, even my own brother I dare not divulge it...... But in your capacity, you should know!"
