Section 45: Hunt and kill

"You...... You ......" the old man's voice became sharp as he trembled. "Who the hell are you!"

"Don't want to die?" Scarlet Rose sneered again. "Okay, let's be a hell of a fool. She stretched out her left hand and took off her helmet.

The old man's mouth opened wide. It wasn't that he was intimidated by the other person's appearance - because Scarlet Rose's face was not ugly, and her face was not only beautiful but also very young—but that he saw something very incredible. He looked at Rhodia in the distance, and then at the girl in front of him, who called herself Scarlet Rose, and then he finally understood what the relationship between the two was. For what kind of scarlet rose will expel the gang of this flower block, for what kind of Rodia will take this opportunity to control the entire flower block. No one knows who the Scarlet Rose is or where she is hiding. How the hell did she hide herself.

Is that the case? Is that the simple reason?

Rhodia stepped up from behind and stood with Scarlet Rose. When two people stand side by side, they can see the similarities between them more clearly. The faces of the two men are almost identical, the difference is that one is younger, one is older, one is taller, and the other is shorter. As long as you look at a person with normal strength, you can see that there is a close blood relationship between the two people.

The Scarlet Rose is dressed rather strangely. It can now be seen that it appears to be a tight-fitting piece of armor mixed with metal and leather. While it may seem strange to use the word "tight" in armor, this armor gives people just that feeling. It's completely attached to the body. Moreover, the old man can now see that this armor has the ability to resemble an octopus or a chameleon, and can change its color depending on the environment.

If he survives, maybe he'll know how to deal with Scarlet Rose. But alas, he no longer has this opportunity.

"I'm different from you, I don't need a hundred means, I only need one means, and that is to kill you. Rhodia said.

The old man opened his mouth, not knowing whether he wanted to ask for mercy or to scold, but the moment he opened his mouth to speak, Scarlet Rose's hand was handed forward, and the thin sword pierced directly from his mouth, piercing out of the back of his head. Then her sword swung sideways, and the old man fell to the wall, his body slowly sliding, his head cut to pieces, and he couldn't die anymore.

Seeing this cruel scene, the little girl couldn't hold back any longer. Last time, she had already seen dead people. But Ashrufat didn't do anything superfluous when he killed people, and those who died were obvious villains. But now it's different, Scarlet Rose doesn't just kill people, it also turns corpses into pieces. The little girl's throat made a "vomit" sound.

It should be said that at her age and her experience, it is quite a remarkable thing to be able to see such a scene just letting out a retching sound instead of actually throwing it out. But the question is this time, this place. Although they were about four stories above the ground at the moment, and the little girl's voice was very soft, Scarlet Rose immediately raised her head and looked directly at this side with a cold gaze.

"Let's go!" Ashruphat immediately understood that something was wrong. Not to mention anything else, with this little girl by your side, you can't fight against a master like Scarlet Rose. Besides, if it really fights, he will also suffer a lot in weapons. Because the steel longsword he just bought today was probably difficult to fight against Scarlet Rose's magic sword. In the battle that took place in the warehouse just now, the weapons of those thugs were all split in two by Scarlet Rose's magic sword (presumably a magic sword).

Although there were no stairs leading to the platform in the warehouse, Ashrufat instinctively knew that this could not stop the Scarlet Rose.

"What's wrong?" said Rhodia, who didn't hear the little girl's voice.

"There's someone up there!" said Scarlet Rose. "Someone sees me! you wait here, I'll kill them, you go yourself." ”

She put away her sword, then quickly rushed to the wall of the warehouse. Although there seemed to be no place to climb on the wall, she was crawling straight up the wall like a gecko, moving surprisingly fast. It only took a minute or two for her to climb along the wall to the platform.

Rhodia watched her go, then turned around and came to the entrance of the gate. She began to knock on the door in a peculiar rhythm. After a few minutes of knocking, the door opened from the outside.

The dozen or so guards outside were still there. As mentioned earlier, the door of the warehouse is tightly closed, so the sound inside is not heard from the outside. The guards couldn't help but gasp when they saw Rhodia come out unharmed and smell the strong smell of blood coming from the door.

"Rhodia...... Lady. The lead said. If they were hesitating and swaying before, now fools know who they should listen to. The people inside must be finished—they don't know what's going on inside the Dao, but they know who the victors are, and that's enough.

"No one is coming outside, is there?" asked Rhodia.

"We're pretty sure there's no one. ”

"Well, that's good. Rhodia said. "While there's no one around, get some water and clean up the garbage inside. She said. "I'm going to clean this warehouse tomorrow morning, like nothing happened. ”

"Yes!" replied the leader immediately. "And then, we ......"

"As I said, the Iron Eagle Gang will definitely come over to take over this territory, so you can join them. Rhodia replied. "But I'm sure you know who to listen to. ”

......

Scarlet Rose jumped onto the platform as lightly and silently as a cat. It's been a long time since no one has been here, so a layer of dust has accumulated underground. Through the traces of dust in the ground, she could easily tell that someone was lying on it, and she could clearly see what was happening through the cracks in the planks.

Who is this? A companion of these dead ghosts? No, it can't be. If those guys had arranged it, then the person in this position would definitely be holding a crossbow...... But she hadn't been attacked by any ranged weapons just now. Judging from this, the person peeking here is probably someone else...... Because of temporary curiosity or getting the news, you plan to take a look here?

But no matter who they are, since they see something they shouldn't see, then they are dead.

She rushed out the door, and at the end of the trestle, a figure seemed to stand motionless. This made her make a defensive gesture, but she soon noticed that the man had tilted his head and was unconscious. He was able to maintain his standing position only because someone tied him to the railing of the trestle with a rope.

It's interesting, it looks like it's pretty good...... She suddenly stopped, as a figure suddenly appeared in her field of vision, standing at the other end of the boardwalk. It was already completely dark by this time, but she could still see the person on the other side clearly. The figure was also a woman, dressed in exotic attire, and the night breeze ruffled her robe, revealing the hilt of her sword dangling from her waist. The two maintained a standoff like this, and neither side moved for a long time.

"Are you...... Wind chimes?" Scarlet Rose finally spoke. "How did you get here?"

"It's you, Laria!" Wind Chime tugged at her hand and tossed her exotic robe aside. Under the gown, she wears a long-sleeved tunic and trousers suitable for women. However, the neckline of her dress is partially open, revealing armor of the exact same style as Scarlet Rose. A type of armor that is attached to the body and looks like it is made of a mixture of metal and leather. "I felt it when I came here...... I'm still wondering who it is. Sure enough, my instincts were right. ”

Two people stood at opposite ends of the trestle. Scarlet Rose, or Laria, bent down, tightening her body to the limit like a spring. However, the wind chime was very comfortable, did not show any nervous expression, and slowly pulled out the long sword he was wearing.

"Really...... It's been a long time!"

This sentence became the code for the beginning of the battle. In the next moment, the two men moved almost at the same time, and they fought on this narrow trestle. Their movements are similar, like two frolicking civets. The light of the sword flickered in the darkness, sliding, splitting the air again and again. Death staggered between the two men, searching for the right prey. But this time the Grim Reaper is probably going to be disappointed, because the combat skills of the two people can be described as half a catty, and no one can help anyone for a while.

With a crisp metal thump, the two swords collided and then separated. The two men each took a few steps back, adjusting their breathing and looking for the next opportunity.

"I see you're still so active...... What a surprise. I thought it was ...... In fact, we all thought you were dead. Looks like you're doing a good job, though. Wind Chimes said.

"This is my hometown, and of course I'm going to mix well. Laria replied coldly. There was a flash of anger mixed with fear in her eyes. "What are you doing here? Are you here to get me back?"

"Catch you?" said the wind chimes, Ha Lu, and Da Lu. "I said it all, everyone thought you were dead. Would anyone bother to catch a dead man?"

"So...... You escaped too?"

"Escape? Laria, didn't you see the difference between us......? I'm getting older!" said Wind Chime. "Remember when we met on the boat? We seemed to look the same age at the time, but now ...... Don't you think I'm going to be a lot younger?"

This sentence is true, from an objective point of view, although Lalia is young, she looks seventeen or eighteen years old, and the wind chime looks two or three years younger.

"I don't regret my choice. Laria said. "Since you're not here to arrest me back, why do you want to ......?"

"Probably because I don't like you. Wind Chime replied with a giggle. "A dishonest merchant is a person who takes money but refuses to deliver it. ”

"A slave contract?" Laria sneered. "That kind of trade is inherently unfair. ”

"It's as if you weren't a slave at the time. Don't forget, the two of us have always lived together. Or even the ...... who accepted that deal together Do you remember what you said to me at that time? Maybe you forgot, but I'm sure you remembered it when you saw me. At that time, you seemed to be very willing, no, I should say very willing. ”

"You're alone...... There's no way to stop me from leaving. In this city, you can't find me if I'm willing to hide. Give up, Wind Chimes!"

"That's right. But once I go back...... The next time I come here, I'm not alone. One-on-one, I may not really be able to stop you from escaping. But what about one-to-two, one-to-five, or even one-to-ten? Do you have a chance?"
