While the scholars of the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences were still in a state of confusion, outside the city of Makhnora, far from Brittus, a man in a gray coat in a double-breasted leather jacket walked on a barren loess road, carrying a bag the size of a travel bag.

The night sky was lit with a little starlight, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the man in black squinted, and suddenly grabbed a piece of rough skin from the flying sand and rocks.

He held up the dander and looked closely at the moonlight, as if he saw something unusual.

"It's not a snake, it's not a lizard, it's a toad......"

"There are faint special energy fluctuations on this piece of skin, is it from an evil creature or has it fallen from an abler, or is it a witch's pet?"

The man in gray muttered to himself and continued to walk forward, when suddenly there was a faint smell of blood in the wind, and he quickened his pace.

He walked in a strange way, obviously just walking, but he felt that he could step beyond the boundaries of space, and soon appeared thousands of kilometers away, the corpses of two robbers whose blood had dried up.

"It's all ordinary physical damage, it seems that they were killed by someone who blocked the road and robbed. ”

Then the man in gray took out the paper full of strange patterns from his arms and put it on the ground, and the patterns suddenly began to crawl, detached from the white paper, and converged in a certain direction.

He followed the direction to several blood-stained bullets and picked up one.

"Sure enough, someone violated the ordinance and killed ordinary people, and since this happened near Makhnora, it should have been done by members of the Black Street. ”

"Heh, do these guys who only have gold pounds in their eyes think they can do whatever they want on their own turf?"

"It seems that this time the association has been re-elected, and the heads of various places have returned to the headquarters to participate in the election, which has reduced the supervision of the ordinary world, and the influence of the capable people on the ordinary world has really become greater, and they even dare to directly attack ordinary people. ”

"And the greedy fellows of the church, who should have taken over the management of order, but they have long forgotten the real accusation!"

He snorted coldly, put away the bullets on the ground, and the symbol quickly returned to the paper, which was put away by the man in gray and put back in his arms.

Continuing to walk, his target was the city of Makhnora in front of him, a silver medal-like identification badge casually hung around his waist, and the bright moonlight shone on the man's body, and also flashed the most conspicuous part of the identity tag.

That's the monogram of the Witch Hunters' Guild.

Also on this night, Bill had returned to the mountain villa from Britts, and of course he did not forget to ask Lao Wei, a native of the North District, about Flea Street and no man's land before saying goodbye to Lao Wei.

However, Lao Wei only said that Flea Street is the 'commercial street' for the residents of the North District, and he can find the rags he wants on the Flea Street, but most of those things are picked up from the garbage dump on the northern edge of the city.

As for the no-man's land, Lao Wei didn't know much about it.

The northern part of Brittus' Old Town is actually a very large area, almost the size of the other three districts combined, but it is not very inhabited, so it is not uncommon for the North End to have no man's land.

Through Lao Wei's description, Bill has a preliminary understanding of the northern side of Brittus, but he can't rush there yet.

His knowledge of that world was still very limited, and although he knew that he would not die easily, there were still weapons and abilities in that world that could cause him great damage.

It's like that silver bullet.

"There's still too little useful information, and no one should know that I've dealt with the brother killers right now, so the level of the killers who come next time should be about the same as these two. ”

"That means I still can't get any more information. ”

Bill was sitting in a windowless study with a few detective books and a new newspaper on the desk, and the shelves were still empty, except for a few history books and a geographical atlas of the world.

He was flipping through the Book of Shadows, hoping to find an introduction to mysterious powers or abilities.

However, the Book of Shadows does contain a lot of witchcraft, including shadow magic, but it doesn't mention any other mysterious powers or abilities, and the notebook refers to other people as wizards.

"Among the existing clues, except for the Book of Shadows and the pocket watch, which are special items left by Williams, only Williams has to take a huge risk to get paid. ”

"It's time to open the box and see what good things are inside, only I live in this villa area, and I don't have to worry about being discovered by others. ”

"Well, let's go to the basement, I don't want to mess up the study. ”

The basement of the villa can be accessed from the back door, and some sundries are piled up inside the entrance, the basement floor is only a little higher than the mine, and the air that has not been circulated for a long time is filled with the smell of humidity, and the temperature is very low.

The basement of more than 200 square meters is divided into several areas, including a wine cellar, a vegetable cellar and a utility room, but now there are only miscellaneous items for cleaning.

Perfect for transforming into what Bill imagined.

Slowly stepping up the stairs to the ground, there was no light here, and Bill didn't need it.

The shadow circle appeared on the soles of his feet, and the dark circle had gone from being the thickness of an arm to the size of a tin box, and Bill believed that soon the hole would be large enough to fit a car or even a boat!

The closed iron box trembled slightly, and there were twisted explosion marks all around, and the time it had been stored in the shadow space seemed to make it even more excited.

Bill swallowed, equally excited.

"What is it?"

"Hey, hey, hey, something that even shadows would be afraid of......"

With a slight tremor in his palm, he took out the key from his bosom and reached directly into the keyhole.

Let's ......

The crisp sound of the mechanism opens, the iron box is restless, pull out the key, and insert another key into it, this lock needs to be opened with two keys together.

The key turns slowly.

Smack!

The iron box collapsed in an instant!

Suddenly, a large amount of black gas gushed out from the iron box, diffusing from the bottom upwards, filling the entire space.

The cold air hit, covering the damp and cold basement with a layer of frost, and a black encounter seemed to form some kind of animal, and instantly jumped on Bill's face, like a blood-sucking grasshopper!

Bill immediately raised his hand, and the pitch-black dagger came out, instantly inserting black smoke!

The ability to manifest this shadow was very useful, but it was too painful to obtain, and Bill didn't know if he could handle that feeling now.

It's hard for him to imagine what the consequences would be if he couldn't bear it.

The pitch-black dagger plunged into the seemingly disembodied black mist, and suddenly a huge wail came from the black shadows, a voice that humans could not make, and humans could not understand its language.

"It was alive. ”
