“Ding ding dong dong…”

"puff!"

Dina held a soft sword in her hand, standing there with a stern expression, a trace of blood slowly sliding down the blade to the ground.

She stared at the figure in front of her and said in a cold voice:

"You are the ones who are taking away other people's vitality, refining potions, and then selling them to the noble ladies in the city at high prices?"

During this period, she has been investigating the "Vampire Mummy Case". Although she did not get the support of her colleagues, through her tireless investigation, she still found that it was not one person who stole the vitality, but an organized and premeditated gang.

They disguised themselves as 'vampires', killed people and stole their life force, and then refined it into a pure potion that could keep a person young and even restore youth.

And then earn huge profits.

Today she finally got news that someone was trying to secretly trade potions here, but she almost lost track of the target because she didn't have tickets to the opera house.

Fortunately,

In the end, they finally caught the other party without any danger.

"Um..." The figure covered his injured arm with his hand, his face pale: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Don't know?" Dina snorted coldly: "You don't want to tell me, right? I have plenty of ways to make you tell me."

Before she finished her words, she rushed forward with a sword in hand.

Dina, who has been tempering her body for many years, charges like a nimble female leopard. The soft sword in her hand is like the fangs for hunting prey, and she is extremely fierce when she attacks.

But seeing the sword flashing in the field, the opponent had to retreat and dodge frantically, but blood still spurted out of his body from time to time.

The two men fought, and the strength of the two was clearly distinguished.

“Swish!”

Just when she was about to defeat her opponent, two arcs of light suddenly appeared and twisted towards Dina's waist and abdomen.

"bite……"

Dina swung her sword to intercept, then pulled away and flew back, with a look of surprise on her face:

"What's this?"

"Hehe..." The figure lowered his head and laughed.

Then he suddenly pulled with both hands, tearing his coat into pieces, revealing the horrifying scene underneath.

But when he saw the shadow on his back swaying, he actually had two more pairs of arms than an ordinary person. With six arms stretched out, he looked as strange and creepy as a human-shaped spider.

Six arms, each holding a dagger, are not only weird but also dangerous.

"monster!"

Dina's face turned pale and she took a step back subconsciously. At the same time, an ancient rumor came to her mind:

"You are a follower of Iris!"

"How dare you!" Hearing the name 'Iris', the weirdo suddenly became furious, his eyes instantly turned red, and the rising anger directly destroyed his reason: "How dare you blaspheme the gods, damn it!"

“Swish!”

Along with its angry roar, six cold rays pierced towards Dina, as fast as a rainstorm.

But it comes quickly and goes quickly.

The power of a peak-level knight squire is comparable to that of a ferocious beast, and Dina, who is using all her strength, is even more terrifying.

The six-handed monster was strange and terrifying, but its strength was only that of an ordinary knight's squire. The two extra pairs of arms made it more troublesome to deal with, but it was far from enough to make up for the gap between the two sides.

"That's all."

After defeating the opponent, Dinah felt relieved: "It seems that the Spider Goddess did not bless you."

Spider Goddess Iris, a legendary evil god and monster, is a cursed being who attempted to steal the authority of the righteous gods. It is said that she has the body of a spider and the head of a human.

Most descriptions of Him describe Him as cruel and bloodthirsty, and He especially loves to take away the vitality of others.

"hey-hey……"

The monster slowly raised himself up from the ground, looked up, and grinned: "Of course I can't do it alone, but...what if I add them?"

The sound falls.

Dinah's expression suddenly changed.

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

Three figures fell from a height one after another and surrounded Dina.

Each of them had arms on their backs, and six hands pressed on the ground, making a hissing sound like a spider, and as their abdomen rose and fell, strands of spider silk were sprayed out.

The spider silk intertwined into a web, instantly covering the entire alley.

Oh no!

Dinah's grip tightened.

* * * “Make way!”

"Please make way!"

“…”

When I walked out of the opera house, there was still a crowded crowd in front of the door.

After leaving the crowd, he straightened his rather sharp clothes, but did not leave. Instead, he went straight to the back door of the theater.

"squeak……"

Not long after, the back door opened and Jenny, who had not yet removed her makeup or changed out of her singing clothes, walked out.

The two agreed to meet here after the concert.

“Carl.”

Smiling sweetly at Karl, Jenny said crisply: “I saw you on the stage.”

"Good performance." Carl praised: "I think your voice is more beautiful than the lead singer. If I were to choose, I would definitely choose you as the lead singer."

"Don't joke." Jenny smiled and shook her head:

"You don't know, I was so scared that my legs could hardly stand. I was already satisfied that I could hold on."

"I'm telling the truth." Carl invited: "Do you want to go back with me?"

“This…” Jenny looked back, hesitant.

The choir will have a party later, but if you want to be alone with the Baron, you can refuse.

Without waiting for Jenny to answer, Karl continued: “It just so happens that I found a house today and will move there in the next few days.”

"Being able to see you perform on a formal stage before I leave is a relief."

"You're leaving?" Jenny's face turned pale. "Why?"

"Is there something wrong with our place? Tell us and we can fix it. We can also negotiate the rent."

"No." Carl waved his hand: "I just want to change places."

"..." Jenny's expression was stiff, and her lips trembled:

"Yeah?"

"I'm very happy to live with you. These days will be beautiful memories in my life." Carl smiled and said, "But people will always part ways. As the proverb says, the only constant in life is change. When I finish tidying up the new house, you are welcome to visit."

"...Okay." Jenny clenched her hands, lowered her head, and said in a dull voice:

"The concert group will have a party later, so I won't go with you. Be careful on the road."

"Party?" Carl nodded: "Okay, I wish you a happy party. I'll be leaving first."

He bowed and gestured, then turned and left.

Jenny watched Karl's back disappear into the darkness until he could no longer be seen. Then she collapsed to the ground, tears falling silently from her eyes.

"Jenny."

Percy from the singing group appeared behind him at some point and sighed, "We will meet many people in our lives, but the only ones who can accompany us throughout our lives may be God and our loved ones. Even our parents and children may leave us."

He also said:

“Separation is the norm.”

"Oooooh..." Jenny sobbed softly.

She understood this truth, but she couldn’t help feeling sad, heart-wrenchingly sad, whenever she thought that Karl would be far away from her life, or even never appear again.

"Don't cry." Percy stepped forward and patted her shoulder:

"I have good news for you. Your performance today attracted a big shot. Maybe this will be a better opportunity."

…………

How could Karl not understand Jenny's thoughts.

However, he had no intention of taking their relationship any further, so he simply cut it off while there was still time and put this thought to rest.

This move was not only for the desire to have a more spacious place, but also for this reason.

"Um?"

Walking through an alley, Carl's expression changed slightly and he stopped subconsciously.

Then he turned and walked towards the dark alley.

"clatter……"

"never mind!"

Carl stopped at the alley, shaking his head.

Although Signo City is much safer than Black City, there are terrorist organizations like the Fire Thieves in secret, and absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.

It is better to have less trouble than more.

As his thoughts turned, he turned around and was about to leave.

“Swish!”

suddenly.

A cold light flashed by.

Carl subconsciously lowered his head to avoid the incoming dagger, and saw a black shadow rushing towards him.

"What?"
