The night is dark.

The road under the street lamps stretches like a golden ribbon into the distance.

In the dark alleys, the cold lights faintly reflect the garbage on the ground. Li Qinglian hid next to the stinking garbage can, and looked towards the street, a gorgeous carriage with a red badge slowly approached from the wind and snow in the distance.

At one end of the road, the wind and snow are also flying in the sky, and police officers with guns in hand line search the streets. In the farther night, another figure gradually appeared, it was a member of the Inagawa Guild who was also carrying a gun, and the two groups were racing against time to find someone one step ahead of their opponents.

The wind blew through the alleys, making a low roar of "woo".

It's been a long time since the beautiful snake lurked in the darkness.

The pain in the whole body, especially in the shoulders and chest, kept churning, and the nerves were pulling more clearly one at a time. She curled up in the garbage heap, slowly chewing on a slice of gum, the sweetness soothing her taste buds and brain, so that she didn't fall asleep.

But it didn't last long before her stomach cramped, and she bent over and vomited a mouthful of blood.

The gum isn't sweet......

Li Qinglian lay on his back weakly, and the snake's tail was already frozen.

Looking at the entrance of the alley in a daze, the pink and blue light collided, and the neon lights in the wind and snow seemed to be more gorgeous than ever. Behind the dilapidated shantytowns are shiny skyscrapers, police cars passing in the snow and people hurrying by, it seems that they don't matter that much......

She wasn't sure why she had survived until now.

The revenge has been avenged, and she should be able to leave this ugly world with comfort...... Perhaps, it was his last words, she wanted to hold on for a while, until he rushed back, and talked to him about the grievances in her heart......

Several policemen near the entrance of the alley searched for them and looked into the alley from a distance, as if they were planning to come in and have a look.

At this time, the magnificent carriage suddenly interspersed in, blocking the wind, snow and light...... Li Qinglian gasped weakly, looking at the sign on the carriage and listening to the conversation coming from ahead.

"Who are you?"

"Bastard, don't you see this is the coat of arms of the Saustrian family, stand back ......"

Amid the scolding, the guy who looked like a sheriff came to the carriage and smiled humbly.

"What happened?" The nun in the carriage asked indifferently.

"Uh...... That's right, there was a vicious vendetta murder in West Kowloon just now, and we are being ordered to arrest the murderer. Lady Marlene, I don't know if you saw a woman with a snake's tail......"

"Rena and I came all the way and didn't see the monster you mentioned."

Sister Marlene's face didn't look very happy, and the sheriff was also panicked, maintaining a respectful attitude: "Let's go to the back alley to have a look, don't disturb you......", as soon as the words fell, Sister Rena in the car window poked her head out and asked the sheriff suspiciously: "You said a woman with a snake tail?" ”

"Yes."

"I think I saw ...... on the pier just now."

Hearing this, the sheriff was overjoyed, "Thank you for the clues", and after saying this, he waved his hand and ran to the dock with the rest of the police.

The shadow of the snake swims in the darkness.

As soon as the police were sent away, there was a dull noise outside the carriage.

Sister Rena's heart was excited, and she hurriedly looked out the window, only to see a snake beauty covered in blood lying under the wheel, already unconscious. The pink snake's tail, the skin and flesh were open, and the blood had condensed into pink blood ice hanging on the scales......

From the beginning of killing Yasuji Nakamura tonight to being surrounded by more than 200 people and bombing indiscriminately with heavy firearms, she was already mortally injured. Fortunately, Irene's appearance bought her a little time, and she risked her life to kill Nakamura Koji in the chaos, and she herself reached the point of running out of oil.

Sister Marlene looked at it, jumped out of the car and carried her back to the carriage.

Then she took out her handkerchief, wiped the blood from the curtain, and drove the carriage away.

The carriage left Canton Road, drove quickly towards the seaside, and turned onto Qingkui Highway. They would follow the road north, turn left after 15 minutes and enter Tuen Mun Road, which leads to Tuen Mun.

The wheels galloped, rolling up large expanses of wind and snow.

It was a chaotic night, with fires rising all over the city streets.

In the west of the old district of Shin-Yokohama, there was a fierce firefight, while in the east there was an even more violent fire, and many people who were idle in peacetime also took advantage of the chaos to try to take advantage of the chaos. Theft, robbery, revenge, arson, large and small vicious cases are staged in the urban area in turn.

The carriage galloped forward and entered the Tuen Mun Highway leading to the suburbs.

This is a coastal mountain road with a dark sea on one side and a long stretch of low hills on the other. From time to time, abandoned construction sites and warehouses can be seen among the trees, and small houses with lights rise like islands on the sea.

Further on the edge of the city is the city.

Flashing neon lights spread across the sky behind him, and the city in the darkness was still shining.

※※※※※

Nance wrapped up her coat tightly and ran through the snow.

The snow of the night pierces the sky and embraces the city.

In his eyes, there is a reflection of a brilliant neon sign.

In the city of New Yokohama, the craziest thing about the human will is these solitaire-intensive advertising signs.

The layers of billboards stretch infinitely into the distance in the darkness, creating a dazzling urban spectacle and becoming the most distinctive visual symbol.

Ma Lian sent a message saying that she had received Li Qinglian and was rushing back to the monastery.

Nance breathed a sigh of relief and ran under the telephone poles plastered with advertising signs that read: "Blood Donor Seeker - N Medical Club."

Navigating through the narrow city, he soon came to a neat and clean seaside area.

It seems that the area has not been affected by the chaos, and the buildings are uniformly lit up at night.

The streets are bustling with activity, with neon signs and holographic projections flickering in the shops along the street. The people who come out to enjoy the nightlife here are all employees of large companies, all of whom are neatly dressed and carrying shiny leather bags as if they had agreed in advance.

The men wore ties, the women wore high heels, chatted loudly under the streetlights that lasted all night, raised a glass and drank together, and then commented on the chaos of the night, and made a few innocuous comments.

The black harbour stretches out into the distance, and surveillance drones fly over floating islands made of white styrofoam on the surface of the sea.

Such an interesting scene made Nance, who had just experienced a life-and-death battle, feel a little emotional in his heart.

Novelty and dilapidation, prosperity and decadence, beauty and emptiness...... On the streets of Shin-Yokohama, many opposing elements coexist and are wrapped in a metallic sense of cold technology, and everything seems bizarre.

There is a strong sense of division with some magic, gorgeous balls and burning slums, powerful female police officers and vengeful beauty snakes, which are more or less ironic when viewed together.

If Wong Kar-wai is allowed to live in this era, he can shoot I don't know how many "Chongqing Forest".

But Nance didn't have time to feel too much in his heart.

Living in such a world, truth and falsehood do not seem to be very important, and the cheapest thing in this world is human sensibility.

Behind the drunken prosperity of the lamp fans, there is darkness, and there is nothing else.

A black wildcat rummages through a trash can for food.

Nance ran over.

The black cat whined and jumped away.

The road leading from the island to the suburbs is full of checkpoints, large and small.

The carriage stopped and went, not very fast, and Nance soon caught up. In front of the checkpoint on the side of the road, Sister Marlene and a police officer did not communicate very smoothly, and her expression couldn't help but become solemn. Several policemen next to him saw the situation here and also gathered around, and the others were all armed with guns in front of the checkpoint, keeping guard.

"Special search four to track down the murderer, please cooperate with my work......" The police officer led by him spoke calmly.

It turned out to be the exorcist mother's subordinates, no wonder even this carriage dared to stop it.

Sister Marlene was a little anxious in her heart, and on the surface she had to pretend to be calm and deal with these policemen.

There's no way, if you don't show up, do you want to call the stupid Rena out...... She took a deep breath and asked with a melancholy expression, "What happened?" I came out of West Kowloon and there were police officers all the way......"

"There was a serious violent case in the city just now, and there is a good chance that the suspect is fleeing the city, I wonder if you have seen any suspicious people......, Ms. Marlene," the officer said, looking towards the carriage curtain, "and if you don't mind, we will probably have to conduct a routine search." ”

"Understood, I will definitely cooperate." Sister Marlene smiled, and when she saw Nance coming over, she calmed down a little, and then asked as if delaying, "I don't know what kind of violent case it is?" Is it convenient to talk about it? ”

Naturally, it was impossible for the police to reveal the facts of the case, and it was difficult to forcibly drive her out of the carriage to search, so they could only ask casually: "Where did you come from?" ”

"Austin Road, welcome to Mr. Du's ball. After we came out of the ball, we planned to go straight back to the monastery, but we ran into your policemen along the way...... Eh, it's hard for you to have such a cold night. Sister Marlene jumped out of the car and let go of the curtain behind her, "Your duty is to search......

Sister Rena, who was in the carriage, suddenly felt a tightness in her heart.

However, in the next second, Nansi's voice sounded outside the carriage, "You are searching for four great officials." At this voice, Sister Lena immediately smiled pleasantly and looked at his face from the car window in surprise.

The lonely warning light flickered faintly, and Nance, who walked over, her face turned red and blue.

When the leading officer saw him, his face changed slightly.

Of course, the fourth search has the right to enforce the law, and although the other party's carriage has the blessing of the dual identity of the monastery and the Sasilk family, they still have the courage and legitimate reason to search.

But when Nance came out at this time, things were in trouble......

The other party is also an administrative agency with law enforcement powers, and they are a special department in charge of demon crime cases in legal theory, and the special search four is just an ordinary police officer who "temporarily helps to share the work of the ninth section" under the instructions of the city hall.

If there is really a conflict here, and then it will go to court, they are also the unreasonable party.

Thinking of a lot of questions in a blink of an eye, and then looking at the colleagues with strong firepower around him, thinking about his boss who was called the Exorcist Niangniang, the police officer's heart settled down a little, and he looked at Nance with a calm face: "Section Chief Adel, we are on official duty!" ”

Nance looked at him coldly: "What official business?" ”

"Track down the suspect."

"Which suspect?"

"......" the officer muttered to himself, don't you know?

Nance took a step forward, stood in front of him, and shouted, "I'll ask you which suspect you are!" ”

A heavy voice echoes under the snowy night sky.

The police officer was suddenly drunk by him, his heart trembled, and he subconsciously took a step back. But he immediately reacted again, the advantage is on our side, there is no need to coax, so he immediately said strongly: "We are chasing Li Qinglian, please ask Section Chief Adel to cooperate with our work!" ”

Nance said word by word: "That's my prisoner!" ”

"We, the police, also have an obligation to ......"

"That's my Lesson 9 prisoner! You don't have the right to track it down, let alone snatch people from me! ”

A deafening roar erupted, and looking at Section Chief Adel in front of him, who seemed to be about to eat him alive with his eyes, the officer took a deep breath, took a step back, and put his fingertips on the holster.

But in the next second, a rusty iron gun reached his throat.

As long as the person with the gun moves a little bigger, he can directly puncture his throat.

"Let him go!"

All the surrounding police gathered around.

In an instant, Nance's body was covered with red dots.

The atmosphere became tense and solemn, and the red and blue lights of the warning lights rendered the atmosphere, and the confrontation was suffocating.

In the carriage, Sister Rena's little hands clenched nervously into fists.

This silly nun doesn't have much of an eye for it, and when she encounters something that is difficult to solve, she only prays to God Almighty. Sister Marlene sat back down at the front of the carriage, her eyes glinting, and she admired Nance even more.

"Section Chief, please pay attention to your movements......" The police officer bared his teeth and shouted in a deep voice, "There are many of us here, if you dare to move, you will be killed......"

Nance shrugged.

After a while, his voice came out, not very high-pitched, just a little disgusted, a simple tone.

"Shoot."

"Let him go!"

"Shoot!"

"You're going to die a terrible death!" The officer shouted in a bluff

"Look at whether you die or I die, shoot!"

"What the—"

"I was the first to kill you, believe it or not?" Nance held the holy spear, the tip of the spear against the officer's throat, and slowly stretched forward, and the officer was forced by him to slowly take a step back, two, three......

"Chief Adel, don't be impulsive......"

"Okay."

"Take the gun away first, let's talk calmly......"

"Okay."

Then you should take it away...... The officer roared in his heart, felt the tingling in his throat, and was forced to take another step back. In just a few meters, he had been forced to the railing on the side of the road, and he replied casually and perfunctorily with a "yes" and then said nothing.

In the dim light, the officer's expression was distorted as if twitching, and it was obvious that he was already timid inside.

He retreated to the railing, and there was no way to retreat.

At this time, Nance tilted his head, looked at him with cold eyes, and said, "...... Keep talking, don't stop. ”

"I, ......"

"You let them shoot."

"I, I ......"

"What are you? Speechless? What about the momentum just now? Nance sneered, his eyes and gaze became sharp in vain, "On the way to solve the case, I killed a policeman who came out to get in the way, and in legal theory, I have dozens of excuses to get away with it." The most serious consequence was nothing more than dismissal, returning to the imperial capital to wait for another arrangement from the Minister of the Interior. And what about you? If you dare to touch me, you will be dismissed from your post and investigated, or you will go to prison for a period of reflection for a period of time, do you have the courage to move me? ”

Hearing what he said, the surrounding policemen looked embarrassed.

The police officer who was pointed at the tip of the gun was even more frightened, his face was pale and sweating profusely, where was the momentum just now.

Nance glanced at him a few times, withdrew the holy spear, and walked to the carriage.

"Tell Erin that I'm going to win her next time......"

A slightly unruly voice drifted along the evening breeze as the carriage headed in the direction of the monastery, and the officer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.

His legs were still trembling slightly.

He turned on the communicator and contacted his boss.

"Captain......

"How's it going?"

"The other party took the person away...... And, uh......"

"What else?"

The officer hesitated, not daring to say Nance's last words.

"And I almost had a firefight with Lesson 9 just now......"

"Tsk!"

There was a pause on the microphone, and a cold and charming voice came again.

"Waste—"

※※※※※

The carriage sped through the town of Tuen Mun and into the monastery in the darkness of night.

Li Qinglian has been in a coma for a while, during which his body will twitch slightly from time to time, and the nervous reflex twitches......

"She won't last long." Sister Rena said with a worried face.

Nance picked her up, and Sister Rena jumped out of the carriage to help carry the pink snaketail from the side.

"Are there any nuns who know how to heal and recover?" Nance asked.

Sister Rena glanced at Sister Marlene.

"You're a wet nurse?" Nance looked at Sister Marlene with a look of incredulity.

Sister Marlene was embarrassed by his staring, subconsciously straightened her face, and said coldly: "What do you see, do you mean that in your heart, I can't be a therapeutic nun?" ”

"People can't look good......" Nance sighed, and looked at Sister Rena curiously: "Mother Rena, you, uh, you said you could fight......"

Sister Rena replied earnestly, "I am a warrior and am good at using a sword. ”

- Sister of the Holy Sword!

"I feel so lucky......"

Nance smiled strangely, hugged Li Qinglian, and walked towards Sister Marlene's house. Sister Rena helped hold her tail and obediently followed behind. After a while, he shouted without looking back: "Marlene, hurry up, show me your nurse demeanor tonight......"

"Tsk!"

Sister Marlene frowned.

Reluctantly, she staggered back in the direction of her home.

It's not that she doesn't want to treat Li Qinglian, it's just that she doesn't want Nance to know her secret...... Even if she gets closer to him, she is still a stubborn and strong Marlene, so she won't let him into her heart easily!
