Rothesay House.

Almost all the guests had arrived, and the noisy sounds could be heard on the second floor.

The sound of music and the fragrance of flowers penetrated into the room together. Ms. Andrea Rothesay folded her hands and placed them on her lower abdomen. As the host of this place, she did not show up at the dinner. At this time, it was the butler who was in charge of entertaining the guests. As the organizer, this was extremely rude.

The screen in front of her showed the scene downstairs. Anna Alec did not appear with a male companion, but the mayor's presence was enough to attract everyone's attention. When Rose pushed her to the front and made her a target, she had never expected this scene to happen.

She never imagined that Gotan would become what it is today.

——Anna Ellech was too bold and brought in demons to fight against the darkness of Gotham itself.

But no one knew the truth. Rose suddenly realized that no one knew what Anna had done, and no one knew that the city of Gotan was on the edge of a cliff. So now everyone was admiring the young woman in the crowd, loving, hating, curious, longing... At the banquet, the host did not show up, and Anna naturally became the focus of the banquet.

The camera occasionally scanned Anna's face, but the expression she showed was always lack of interest, as if socializing with powerful people was not as important as the small piece of cherry cake in her hand.

...but that doesn't stop others from getting close to her.

On the screen, Anna's back at a certain moment overlapped with that of Rose's beautiful sister, Anna's mother, Martha Ellech. They were obviously not alike, but in some ways they were so similar.

They can become the focus of the crowd and even get special care and love without much effort.

After Rose made her decision, she glanced at the head maid, who nodded slightly and left the room.

"Forgive me, Martha..." Mrs. Rothesay raised her hand, her finger hovering over the screen, and then slammed it, "...I don't have time."

After the thief with the red bucket blew up the secret room, Rose went to London. She asked the head of the logistics department to monitor Anna's actions. Naturally, she knew that it would not be easy to complete the goal and obtain her niece's young body under the nose of a mysterious being - so she tried to find other people in London for help, but to no avail.

Her body, tormented by illness, could no longer wait much longer. This hereditary disease, which could be triggered at any time, had tormented many generations of the Alec family, and finally it came to torment her.

Even if she wiped out the Rosset family and seized the wealth of both families, everyone is equal in the face of death.

Her body will gradually become stiff, but her mind will not solidify. In the second half of her life, she will be rich enough to rival a country, but she can only lie in bed like a vegetable, hoping that the family foundation can find a doctor who can cure the disease, or that her descendants and subordinates will be serious and responsible and be able to take care of her.

How powerless, how stupid.

"Even if I die..." She lowered her head, looking at her stiff arms and her feet that could not stand up at all during the second half of signing the property transfer, and said to herself, "I can't live like this."

If all goes well, it will be little Anna who gets this body.

...Then it doesn't matter if you invest more in the early stage. For a dying person, money is the least important thing.

Thinking of this, her anger at being forced to pay money every other day calmed down a little.

When the head maid approached Anna Alec, she was talking to a reporter from the Gotham Daily. The head maid stood nearby and heard a few words.

——About the people emerging from underground.

If they were 120,000 ordinary people who moved from other cities, then although the number was large, it would not be so strange. However, the slaves underground could not integrate into the town residents at all. It would have been best to move them out in batches, but the head maid heard from the lady that the move this time was hasty, as if something underground was chasing them. Therefore, these strange underground people have become people's recent topic of conversation.

"They have... their own culture and customs..." The head maid remembered that the reporter's name was Liz. She smiled and said, "... I know them... I hope to record their past lives. This is worth studying..."

The head maid took two steps closer and heard more clearly, "Slaves are not allowed to have surnames or property, but they are accustomed to and fluent in using modern equipment. They are like multiple groups merged together to form an extremely rare specimen—"

The mayor seemed to be listening, but she didn't seem to be concentrating enough, because she turned around and saw the head maid beside her.

The head maid stepped forward and whispered something to her, but reporter Liz kept her mouth shut with a stern look.

Upstairs, Mrs. Rothesay stared at Anna walking to the center of the hall on the screen. With the help of the head maid, Anna stood out as the heir of the owner of this place. She did not look uneasy at all.

Mrs. Rothesay was finally relieved. It seemed that Anna didn't know what was coming to her.

——She was very uneasy about the thief that had never been caught. She was not sure whether the thief had revealed anything, but there was no turning back.

The dinner went on until late at night, and the mayor, who had already revealed her identity, naturally stayed at the invitation of the head maid. She also had to visit her sick aunt, right?

The "mayor" that usually appears is actually Vivi's corpse wearing glasses, but this time, in order to show respect and because of the requirements of the side quest, she came in her original form wearing glasses.

[Side Quest: Mrs. Rothesay's Wish]

[Mission Description: The mayor's dear aunt wants to have a young, strong, and healthy body, and she is willing to give everything for this]

[Mission Tips: The main body carries a corpse to the Rosset House]

[Mission Reward: "Everything of Mrs. Rothesay", 500 diamonds]

The embarrassing thing is that Mrs. Rothesay did not invite "Vivi White" at all. The little vigilante was not qualified yet. Apart from the mayor, only Professor Daisy met the invitation conditions. However, the mayor had been wavering between her maternal and paternal families in order to wear out Mrs. Rothesay's patience and force her to take action as soon as possible. The Rothesays and the Diamond family had already fallen out, so naturally Daisy was not invited.

Weiwei simply came here wearing the glasses herself, and as for the corpse...she could just kill it when she needed it.

With her mind empty, she went through the "process" of the early stages of the mission, such as dinner, dance, and socializing. Only after most people had left did she perk up and follow the maid to Mrs. Rothesay's bedroom.

However...

Weiwei opened the map and took a look.

The blue, green and red dots that appeared on the map were all very familiar... It looked like the night was calm and the vigilantes didn't need to patrol.

After entering the bedroom, she opened the map and took another look out of habit.

[Assassin (Assassin's Alliance)] Multiple red dots like this appear on the map.

In front of her, the woman pushing Mrs. Rothesay's wheelchair had another title on her head -

[Maid (daughter of the leader of the Assassin's League)]

Is this... Talia O'Gor? The head maid who appeared before was not her, and it was obvious that she had just been replaced.

Led by maid Talia, the three entered the underground passage of the building.

...Too quiet, Rothesay thought.

Along the way, she only heard the sound of the wheelchair rolling. After she said "Follow me", Anna followed them without any question or attempt to escape.

It was not until he saw the green light in front of him that Rosser seemed to wake up and realized that something was wrong.

“Why didn’t she ask about my condition?”

Rose stiffened his neck and turned a tiny amount, glancing at the young blond woman from the corner of his eye. She was not at all confused by the situation in front of her, but even full of curiosity. Rose heard her whisper to herself: "...The sewers here are well built."

Then, the assassins suddenly appeared and pinned down the mayor who was not at all fierce.

Even after such an accident, Anna Elle did not scream, but looked at Mrs. Rothesay.

Rothesay met her gaze.

The blonde woman did not scream or panic. She calmly looked away, as if she was sure that someone would come to save her, and as if she was sure that Mrs. Rothesay would not be the one to save her.

Andrea Rothesay took a deep breath, feeling the temperature of her body slowly draining away, and said in a hoarse and rough voice: "... Let's start early."

Thalia gave her an interested look and agreed.

...She also wanted to know whether the person standing behind Mayor Anna Eleck was the one her father was talking about.

When Mrs. Rothesay's eyes were enveloped by a green light, she didn't know that the Assassin's League that cooperated with her left assassins to guard this place, while Talia herself retreated to the outside of Gothan County as quickly as possible.

She also had no time to think about these...

Rose didn't know what soul transfer would be like, but she knew from other channels that humans do have souls. She thought her soul would float out of her body and enter another young body, but it was not like that - she felt like she was about to suffocate, and unimaginable pain enveloped her. She finally couldn't hold back and screamed.

The entire underground was filled with only her screams.

Following the pain came the desire to destroy and sadize. She had never known... that soul transference would be so painful. Just having come to this point, Rose regretted it.

The world in his eyes was dark, with mottled blocks of color hidden in the darkness. The edges of those blocks of color were like the rotting skin of some animal, with a corner exposed. Rosse tried hard to see clearly what was underneath that corner. The eyeball hidden underneath suddenly turned like a wriggling water wave.

A huge fear swept over her, completely enveloping her. Just when Rose could no longer hold on, she found herself being "swallowed" by the eyeball.

She turned into an eye, overlooking the entire city of Gotan from above. At this moment, she could see clearly every corner and every aspect of the city. She saw through the surface and the bones and blood buried beneath the skin. At this moment, a huge ecstasy rose in her heart.

——The pain disappeared without a trace.

Andrea Rothesay knew what was going on.

She recalled her conversation with someone in London, and she knew that it was Mr. C who was looking at her.

Her only hope of defeating Anna is that if Anna is already Mr. C's property, she will not be able to obtain her body unless she replaces Anna and becomes a member of that being's family.

...as long as she can do better than Anna.

So besides her young body, she has much more to gain than she could ever imagine.

Talia stood on the side of the road, monitoring the vital signs of her men with the device in her hand. If the man was really the one her father had identified, she would better not know anything except the vital signs.

If an accident happened, his assassins and other people in Gotan County might be buried with him.

As she thought this, Mrs. Rothesay found that her perspective had changed.

Her vision became crowded and narrow, as if she had suddenly fallen from the sky and been stuffed into some inappropriate container, but a blurry human figure appeared in front of her.

Two.

A brown-haired girl and a silver-haired man.

The silver-haired man put his hand on the girl's shoulder, and the view became even more cramped at this moment.

Mrs. Rothesay suddenly realized that it was not her own vision that was narrow, but the picture in front of her. The picture was becoming smaller and was swallowing the outside world in. The wriggling darkness was alive.

She couldn't speak, couldn't move, but she looked ahead longingly -

She knew who they were, the mysterious Mr. C, and his apparent favored one, Vivi White, whom she had never taken seriously. Under his care, this ordinary little girl gained powerful strength and immortality, and she wanted to join them. She wanted more.

Mrs. Rothesay didn't even care about the fear around her. All she could see were the figures in front of her. One of those figures, Mr. C, no one knew what he looked like. She tried her best and felt that her body seemed to make a sound, but she didn't hear her own voice.

The silver-haired man seemed to have heard it and turned slightly.

And then...he fell down.

A tall man fell down just like that. In front of Mrs. Rothesay's astonished eyes, he seemed like a puppet that had lost control. He fell to the side powerlessly. The girl beside him, who seemed to be aware of something, gently lifted him up, like grabbing a cat by the scruff of the neck.

The two people in front turned completely around and attacked and defended in different positions.

The man was kneeling on the ground, like an unconscious corpse, his long silver hair spread out and gently floating, looking like a twisting snake head. The girl who had stood beside the man was still hugging his shoulders, forcibly supporting him with her arms so that he would not fall completely to the ground. This time, Mrs. Rosset, like everyone else, was unable to see the face of "Mr. C" who lowered his head.

But none of this matters anymore.

The dark space was still squeezing, about to swallow her up completely, and Mrs. Rothesay let out a loud scream.

She was wrong.

She was completely wrong.

He is not He, she is He!

In Gotan County, underground, the assassins were guarding the entrance from a distance. They first heard hoarse screams, then painful, meaningless cries for help, and then the sounds not far away disappeared, even the sound of water disappeared.

After a few minutes, the assassins decided to take a closer look.

At this moment, there was a loud "bang", as if a drowned ghost climbed out of the pool, and then a strange, tearing, murmurous sound resounded in everyone's ears like thunder.

They are...crazy!
