Varina returned cautiously at a speed that was more than twice as slow as she had fled.

In this process, he kept his distance from the building at all times, ensuring that he could "open the door" at the first time in the event of an accident.

More than ten minutes later, he returned to the vicinity of the previous battlefield without danger.

"I was right!"

Far away, Varina heard the tall and thin man's bitter wail.

It sounds like the cry of an evil spirit, and it's very frightening.

With his extraordinary eyesight, he also saw a long tongue sticking out of the throat of the tall and thin man, still swinging like a cat's tail.

In addition, the lower half of his body has also turned into a pool of flesh and blood piled on the ground.

All the signs are indicating—

This man is not far from getting out of control.

Varina's heart lifted up and half relaxed.

This time he safely ducked into the deep dark shadows to move, and soon got close enough distance.

"Flames!"

Reciting the opening spell of the ancient Hermetian word, Varina poured most of what little spirit was left into the whalebone charm, completing the activation.

His eyes darkened as a result.

Immediately after, five black flames swirled around his body.

This is a special flame fueled by spirits, which is excellent and versatile, and is one of the witch's signature skills.

Feeling that the remaining spirituality was also rapidly depleting, Varina flew the black flames out in one breath, and all fell on the tall, thin man who couldn't move.

The man's wails sounded even more painful, but there was no movement to resist.

This is because he has not completely lost his mind and is fighting the madness in his body.

Otherwise, even if he completely loses control and becomes a monster, he will instinctively resist.

Originally, he thought he still had hope of surviving-

As long as he persists, he will be able to regain some mobility when the loss of control deepens little by little to a certain extent;

When the time comes, he will rush into the houses on the side of the street, and there will be fresh flesh to replenish;

If he can really replenish enough flesh, his tendency to lose control will be further reduced;

Maybe it will really be able to fully recover in the end?

He didn't know how likely he was to make it, but at least it wasn't zero!

But the returning Varina put an end to this possibility.

Soon, the spirituality of reason was scorched, the howling ceased, and the tall and thin man completely lost control and became a monster.

It became a flowing pool of flesh, like a carpet of flesh and blood.

The black flames were still attached to its body, burning silently.

The carpet of flesh tumbled in waves, rapidly approaching Varina on the ground.

Varina kept her distance from it and steered it to more remote places.

This process lasted for more than ten minutes before the flesh carpet gradually stopped moving.

It wasn't until the black flame was completely extinguished due to the lack of spirituality as fuel that Varina had the audacity to approach and inspect it.

Knocking his left tooth twice to turn on the vision, he easily saw something that condensed extraordinary characteristics-

A long tongue.

It was like a dead snake, hanging in the middle of the carpet of flesh, not at all as active as it had been at the throat of the tall and thin man at the beginning.

It used to have a living characteristic.

But first he was consumed by the spirit of the tall and thin man, and then he was continuously burned by the black flame of the witch, and he also fused the extraordinary characteristics of the tall and thin man's "hermit", and the living characteristic no longer existed.

Naturally, Varina is not clear about this.

He reached out and took off the folding knife at his waist, flipping his right hand to release the blade.

After picking the long tongue with the blade, Varina frowned.

He didn't dare to touch an unknown magical object directly, especially since it was a magical object that symbolized the path of the fallen "Hanged Man".

Soon, he came up with a solution -

Iron cigarette case.

It can be described as a home trip, a must-have for killing.

"Mr. Fool" said yes!

Varina didn't have it himself, but he had seen it, and at the edge of the carpet of flesh was a half-exposed iron cigarette case.

Varina picked it up, poured out the few remaining cigarettes inside, and carefully shoved the long tongue inside.

Finally, close the lid.

Varina was not yet at ease, and planned to go back to his quarters in the docks first, and use the ceremonial silver dagger left there to create another spiritual wall outside the cigarette case.

Of course, before leaving, you have to dispose of this carpet of flesh and blood.

It's easy to do, and it's right at the end of the road to the river, and the Tasok River is not far away.

Just throw it in the water and feed it to the fish.

……

In the second half of the night, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

Varina packed up and prepared to leave for good.

He was in a pretty good mood at this time.

If you don't consider the thrill in the process, in fact, the attack of a tall and thin man is a great thing for him.

It helped him solve two problems at once.

After making sure that there were no items left behind, Varina locked the door and quietly left.

After Varina Etano disappeared, Lexa Hunt also disappeared.

As for his next identity, Varina has already arranged for it.

At the very least, Marić should have prepared his new identity documents as he requested.

Tonight will be the night of the full moon in February, and in a dozen hours, he will be able to go to the Bar of the Brave and get it in his hands.

At this point, all the conditions required for his plan have been prepared.

……

At three o'clock in the morning, Varina returned to her accommodation in the bridge district.

Having Qili live next door is a kind of pressure and a kind of peace of mind.

At least Varina doesn't have to worry about anyone sneaking up on him now.

After washing off the smell of alcohol, sweat, and blood in the bathroom next door, he put on his pajamas and prepared to go back to bed.

Varina didn't expect Qili to appear in his room.

"Lily, I'm back."

He dissolves embarrassment with a smile.

"Do you know to come back?"

Qi Li glanced at him and asked, "How much of the potion was digested to make such a big move?" ”

"Also, is that the matter over there is settled?"

Varina looked at Qi Li, who was sitting on his bed in pajamas, and in order to relieve the pressure, he had an idea and said:

"Lily, it's cold outside, you cover the covers."

As he spoke, he pulled out the chair in front of his desk and sat down.

"The matter in the dock area is settled, because I was attacked by a 'hermit monk' in public tonight, and I can take advantage of the situation to 'disappear'."

"What?!"

Qi Li's body that had just fallen down sat up again and asked, "You're not hurt, are you?" ”

As she spoke, she didn't wait for Varina to answer, and was going to come over to check.

"I'm fine," Varina hurriedly waved his hand to stop, "It's just that the spiritual consumption is a little bigger." ”

"Luckily, I had precautions, and those few charms came in handy."

Qi Li still got out of bed and touched Varina a few times, and after making sure that he was really not injured, she was relieved.

"You should rest first, it is important to recover your spirituality, and other things can be talked about tomorrow."

With that, she walked out of the room and closed the door intimately.
