At midnight, Ian quietly opened his eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He used his consciousness to confirm that his mother was asleep across the wall, and quickly and silently put on his usual black trench coat. Putting on his hood, he pulled the brim of his hat and jumped out of the window in the room.

After an afternoon of strolling around with his mother, he decided to resume his trip to Uptown, which had been put on hold yesterday.

Ian doesn't lose sight of his most important purpose at the moment. As long as he doesn't find Fei'er for a day, he will keep looking.

Because this slow-flowing world will remind him all the time that he has to do it!

In the deep darkness of the night, there was silence in Downtown, and as a child growing up here, Ian had been very naïve to think that at this point in time, Uptown should be in a similar situation. But when he avoided the guards and climbed over the three high walls to really see the night view of the upper city, he knew that he was wrong, and it was quite wrong!

The noble and luxurious mansion is brightly lit, and the host and guest are in full swing. The stage curtain of the Northern Regions Opera House has just begun. Under the Yuanjing street lamp, people looking for joy on the street walk endlessly. The doors of the nightclubs have been quietly opened, and the lights are bright inside.

"Well, these damn bastards. ”

Deeply frustrated, Ian hid in the shadows of an alley and looked speechlessly at the bustling night scene in front of him, almost thinking that he had returned to his previous life.

He hadn't imagined that the moment when the people in the lower city were asleep soundly was only the beginning of the night for the nobles in the upper city.

To borrow a phrase from the previous life, it is that the good night has just begun......

"Should I complain that city people really know how to play?"

The boy muttered something in disgust, then turned and walked deeper down the alley.

As someone who can elevate his consciousness and peer down on everything around him, Ian doesn't have to look for people with his eyes. All he had to do was find a dark corner to squat, and then constantly adjust the perspective of his consciousness.

However, as if the goddess of doom was about to oppose her, she once again threw her patron into Ian's line of sight, interrupting his second search.

A stumbling scurrying Sakura-haired girl came into his field of vision, a figure so familiar that Ian had a headache when he spotted her.

"Why is this girl again?" Ian complained in his heart, this is the second time, why did he see her when he came to find Fei'er, and it just so happened that she was in trouble again?

"Could this be the legendary fate?" he couldn't help but think.

Last time, it was because I saved this girl, and my search plan was stranded for two days and one night. And this time, the maiden, favored by the goddess of doom, once again disturbed his actions. It's just that this time she went from being chased by a demon to being chased by someone......

After a moment of hesitation, Ian jumped in and followed, even though he knew that this might make tonight's plan fall through again, but the soft-hearted boy really couldn't ignore this girl who was obviously in need of help.

Yes.

This embarrassed cherry haired girl is none other than Camilla, who was just rescued by Ian outside the circle yesterday.

The girl was now panting and running, and a shadow seemed to hang behind her slowly, teasing her prey like a cat and mouse, waiting for her to exhaust all her strength.

Seeing that the girl was forced into an uninhabited alley by herself, the "shadow" who had already arranged manpower around the alley said lightly but elegantly: "Miss Camilla, you can go back with me obediently, Young Master Harlan has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Don't think!" the girl refused loudly, swinging several wind blades backwards from her hand. The extremely compressed atmosphere hissed as it moved at high speed, but the powerful wind blades did not have the slightest effect on the shadows behind them, and they pierced through them directly, leaving several deep cracks on the wall behind the shadows.

"Cut!" the girl bit her lip. Although she had tried countless times before, and knew that her mental image could not work on the other party at all, she still couldn't resist the urge to throw the wind blade away.

"Why bother?" The shadow who was attacked did not fight back, this girl was asked by the young master, and he couldn't hurt her.

He seemed to be full of good-natured consolation, "Miss Camilla, Young Master Harun, as the only son of Count Bell, is also an outstanding young man with a great reputation in the Northern Regions. A young lady from an inferior aristocratic family like you, becoming his maid does not necessarily disgrace your family. ”

"I will never be his maid!" said the girl who knew the true nature of the young master Harlan through gritted her teeth and hated.

"But it was promised by your father, Sir Marion Campbell. The shadow teased in a tone that seemed to be extremely helpless, "Sir Marion lost you to Master Harlan as the last bargaining chip at the table today. ”

"I don't even know anything like that!" Camilla shouted, turning and running.

After catching up with Fei'er, she rushed back home after leaving the Grand Duke's Mansion after buying the medicinal herbs she had prepared for her mother. But she could never have imagined that she was greeted at home by the butler of Earl Bell's house, and such a thunderbolt from the blue.

Although she knew that her father, who was a gambler, might one day do such a ridiculous thing, Camilla could not have imagined that this day would come so suddenly, and what she did would be so absurd.

He actually lost his daughter as a bet!

"Hehe" Shadow smiled slightly mockingly, "Miss Camilla, it's not like everything in this world can be prevaricated by saying a word that you don't know. ”

Step by step, he pressed forward and gradually induced the girl to escape into the cage he had prepared for the little bird, and the smile in his words grew stronger: "Give up, Miss Camilla, I know that you want to flee to the Grand Duke's Mansion to seek the protection of the black princess, but the road in this alley leading in that direction has long been blocked by our people. You are destined to go back with me to see Master Harlan today. ”

"If you don't try, how do you know!"

The other party's ability to turn into a shadow is extremely tricky for her, neither the chain nor the wind can cause any hindrance or damage to her, and Camilla, who knows that she cannot match her, has also tried to escape with the ability to fly, but her flying speed is too slow, and she will always be easily found by the other party, and clinging to her closely.

"My shadow is your shadow, Miss Camilla, and as long as you can't hide your shadow in the moonlight, you won't be able to escape my tracking. ”

"Damn!" finally understood why Camilla, who was caught up every time, gave up on running around, and she suddenly turned around and prepared to make a final effort when the other party was careless!

"Have you finally decided not to run away?" Seeing that the girl stopped in front, a middle-aged man dressed in a butler's costume smiled and gracefully stepped out of the shadows.

"Or do you want to give me the fatal blow when I lift my shadow stance, Miss Camilla?" he said with a smile on his face, and in a smug and nonchalant tone, "I can give you such a chance. ”

The mind was directly guessed, Camilla only felt that her hairs stood on end, she couldn't help but tremble, and the wind blade that had just gathered in her palm subconsciously waved out.

The wind blade passed through the opponent's body, but did not do any damage. The moment the other party hits the body of the wind blade, the part of the body will be shadowed by the wind blade, and after the wind blade cuts it, it will solidify back again.

Subtle control!

Her eyes widened, staring at the elegant middle-aged butler in front of her.

Colby, the night cat of Earl Bell's house!

The girl had heard rumors about this man.

Legend has it that this night cat was a well-known killer in the dark world before he became the butler of Count Bell's house, and he could move freely between shadow and substance, coming and going without a trace, killing people invisibly. None of the people he targeted made it to the next day's sun.

When rumors are just rumors, the newborn who don't know the height of the sky may still think that the other party is just like that, but when they really meet these rumored characters, they will find out how terrifying and difficult these legendary characters who play with their own mental images are really terrifying and difficult. They are far from being able to compete with a young and capable person like himself.

Just like the black he encountered outside the Northern Circle, just like the night cat standing in front of him in front of him.

The girl who still regarded Ian as a capable person couldn't help but compare Ian with the night cat in front of her while glaring fiercely at the elegant middle-aged man in front of her.

It should be darker!

After a moment, she came to a conclusion.

But what is the point of such a conclusion?

The girl laughed at herself in her heart: Is it really because Hei once saved herself that she has a special affection for him?

If Adolf-sensei's rumors are correct, that guy should be hunting demons in the purgatory wasteland outside the circle right now.

Even if he hadn't stayed outside the circle tonight, he wouldn't have been in Uptown, let alone come to save himself again.

Thinking about it, Camilla was a little distracted.

Seeing that the girl in front of him was a little distracted, the corners of Colby's mouth, who thought that the other party had fallen into despair, rose a little again, he stepped forward slightly and saluted gracefully: "Miss Camilla, since you no longer choose to resist, then it will be rude to be below." ”

He walked around behind Camilla and was about to pick her up, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in his ears.

The footsteps were very soft, but they were loud in the silent alley, as if someone was deliberately announcing their arrival.

The footsteps were slow, but a dark figure seemed to step out of the shadows at the other end of the alley in an instant.

"Black!"

Seeing the familiar black trench coat of the other party, Camilla's originally distracted eyes instantly became focused, and she almost wanted to jump in surprise. This is the second time, and he actually came to save her!

"Really" Ian let out a wry smile as he came out of the shadows, "Why is it that every time I see you, you are being chased by something, Camilla?"

"Who is Your Excellency?" Colby put away his signature smile and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the man in a black trench coat with a hood covering his face that suddenly appeared in front of him.

His instincts told him that this man was extremely dangerous!

Not to mention, he didn't even notice the existence of the other party before!

"Me?" said Ian, who heard Colby's question, and then said in an extremely "serious and serious" tone:

"I am the messenger of justice!"
