After midnight, the clouds gradually obscured the silvery moon, and they gathered more and more, and in just half an hour, the night sky of Blastwind was completely covered in boundless darkness.

At this time, people are asleep, and Boken is no exception. Since the battle in the Aoki Forest, Boken's body has become very weak. At night, unconsciously, a lot of sweat appeared on the forehead and body of the sleeping Boken.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came into Boken's consciousness.

"Wake up, dear, dear. ”

'Who is it?' The voice is so familiar. ’

"It's me, I'm Meru, it's your wife. ”

'Meru, is that you?'

At this point in the conversation, Boken awoke from his slumber suddenly, and in the stillness of the night, a flash of light slipped by, illuminating the dark town. Boken felt his heart pounding unusually violently, and at the same time, he felt like he was being pressed by something, and he had some difficulty breathing. He rubbed his eyes, only to notice the sweat on his forehead.

Boken looked around the room, and it was dark. Returning to the real world, Boken remembered the voice he had just heard faintly, yes, if you think about it, it was indeed his dead wife, the voice of Meilu.

'What's going on?'

He thought to himself.

Click-

Suddenly, a violent roar startled Boken's heart, and then lightning and thunder followed, and a downpour followed. The rain was falling. In another flash, a figure appeared in the room.

Boken's eyes widened to confirm the identity of the visitor, and after a while, when he saw the person's appearance with the help of flashes, Boken couldn't believe it was real.

"Meru, it's you, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"It's me, dear, you're not dreaming, I miss you so much!"

Melu said, tears welling up in her eyes as she pounced on Boken.

"I miss you too. ”

Boken cried and held his beloved wife in his arms. It's all too real, and Boken feels the touch and warmth between people. He's thrown everything out of the clouds. At this moment, he embraced his lover, and Meilu became his whole world.

However, what he never expected was Meilu's next behavior.

I saw that she quickly opened her crying eyes, and her affectionate look disappeared in an instant, becoming terrifying and ruthless. She opened her mouth and took the opportunity to bite Boken's neck hard.

An unusually sharp pain suddenly spread through every corner of his body, and Boken let out a hysterical scream. Boken looked at Meilu in bewilderment, and when he saw the red light in his beloved wife's eyes, he woke up like a dream. But it was too late.

Charles was awakened by a series of roars, he was not afraid of thunder, he was just awakened. He felt sleepy and tried to fall back asleep, when Boken's screams reached his ears.

Terry was also awakened. After he quickly settled down, he hurriedly asked his younger brother.

"Charles, do you hear the scream?"

"Well, I heard it, it seemed to be Daddy's voice. ”

"I don't know what's going on, let's go see it!"

"Hmm!"

The brothers immediately got up and ran to Boken's room. The distance between the two rooms was not far, and after more than ten seconds, the brothers came to the door.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

In desperation, Terry didn't knock on the door and went straight into Boken's bedroom. When I came in, the brothers were stupid, the room was empty, the window was wide open, and it was clear that Boken had left through the window. Looking closely, they found traces of blood on the floor.

The blacksmiths were also awakened, and the two brothers came to the room one step later.

"The man is gone, and there is still blood on the ground. How?"

Berlin's question left several people pondering.

After a short while, Green thought for a moment, "It seems that someone came to assassinate Boken, but he should not have succeeded, the blood on the ground may be Boken's, or it may be the Assassin's, the assassin is more likely, maybe because the assassination failed and was injured, he fled in a hurry, and Boken wanted to catch him, so he chased him out." But strangely, there are no signs of a fight in the room..."

Several people felt that Green's analysis was reasonable, that Boken did not have any enemies, and that they had no guesses about the identity of the assassin.

"Well, it's not the right thing to do, I'll go find my father. ”

Terry couldn't hold back his worries and said categorically.

"I'll go too. ”

"Charles, you stay here, I'll be enough. ”

"But..."

"Nothing, listen to me!"

Terry said solemnly, and Charles had no choice but to listen.

"Well, then. ”

"Two uncles, I'm going. ”

"It's fine. But be careful. ”

"yes, yes. ”

The blacksmiths commanded.

"Got it. ”

After Terry responded, he went back to his room to bring his one-handed sword and went out through the window of Boken's bedroom. Washed by the rain, two sets of vague footprints were the only clues left by Borken and the Assassins.

But after chasing for a while, the clue was broken. Terry had no choice but to look like a headless fly, instinctively choosing a direction and chasing after him.

General Ryan's residence in Windwindtown -

'Go, Boken, go and greet your friends, your comrades!'

The girl's heart was a command, and Boken, whose eyes glowed red, carried out the order with a blank face and walked towards Ryan's bedroom. As for the location, the girl had already investigated it.

In the rain and thunder, the long-haired pink girl stood on the branch of a big tree not far from Lane's mansion and smiled. Inside the transparent magic ball, the girl didn't have to worry about the rain soaking her clothes.

Ryan, who was very alert, had already woken up, and the thunder was so loud that he couldn't sleep. The wife on the side knew that since Ryan came back from Aoki, it was like a different person, and he looked like he was worried all day long, and he didn't smile at all. This worries her.

She knew her husband and knew that she wouldn't say anything even if she asked Ryan. What he didn't expect was that this time Ryan actually spoke up on his own.

"Alas, what a shame that I, as a dignified general, have fought such a defeat. ”

He knew his wife was awake.

"General, it's because of this that you are sad, right?"

"yes. ”

Ryan told his wife in detail. He also elaborated on his concerns about what might happen in the next addition. He felt much more comfortable speaking out. Especially his wife's comfort, he was relieved a lot.

Smack-

The sudden crisp sound startled the two of them. They sat up from their beds, and Ryan saw the identity of the person at a glance.

"Boken, what are you doing here? you..."

When he saw Boken's red, glowing eyes, Ryan froze. And the expressionless Boken became like a ghost at this moment, and rushed straight towards the two.
