In the dimly lit alley.
Four children walked steadily inside.
The gloomy and dirty environment did nothing to dampen the four people's anxious and excited mood.
The further they walked, the more excited Floran became, especially at the front.
The grip on the necklace tightened.
At the end of the alley, a dimly lit hotel came into view of the four of them.
They glanced at each other.
Finally, he nodded, pushed open the door, and went inside.
As soon as they pushed open the door, dozens of fierce gazes fell upon them.
Sasha, who was standing at the very back, suddenly trembled and cowered behind the other three in fear.
Floran swallowed hard and mustered his courage to take two steps forward.
"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?"
A burly man with a scar on his face, who looked extremely imposing, walked up to Floran with a bottle in his hand.
Its enormous body looked like a mountain in front of Floran.
"I, I've come to join you!" Floran said loudly, mustering his courage.
A moment of silence fell over the store.
Then a burst of laughter erupted.
Hahaha! That's hilarious!
Did you hear that? That kid is trying to scare us to death!
"Hahaha! Little brat, this isn't child's play. Go home and drink your milk!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The noisy laughter made the three people, who were already frightened, even more afraid.
They huddled together, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"I'm not joking!"
Floran suddenly shouted and then took out the necklace from his hand.
"I have your necklaces here!"
The laughter in the room stopped abruptly, as if a mute button had been pressed, creating an eerie silence.
The burly man in front of him frowned slightly as he looked at the necklace in Floran's hand.
His already fierce face looked even more terrifying.
"Let him come over."
At that moment, a youthful voice came from behind the burly man, breaking the silence.
The burly man quickly moved aside.
A man in black, sitting at the front desk with a bottle of liquor in his hand, was drinking his drink with a somewhat depressed expression.
Thump!
The wine glass was slammed heavily onto the counter.
He picked up the crow mask that was placed aside and put it on.
He put the tall hat back on and turned to look at Florian and the others.
He raised his right hand and beckoned to the four of them, while his left side remained empty.
Floran and his companions became instantly excited upon seeing the Raven Man's signature mask.
Seeing that he only had his right hand, I felt a little puzzled, but I still walked up to him.
The crow-man reached out and took the necklace from Floran's hand, examining it closely.
After seeing that the necklace was indeed that of his dead subordinate, he looked down at Floran.
"How did you get this?"
His voice was deep, but very gentle.
This eased Floran's tension somewhat.
He thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
"This was given to me by a friend."
The crow-man looked at the necklace again and, through it, knew who its owner was.
The face beneath the mask suddenly clenched its teeth in anger.
He suppressed his anger and continued gently,
"Among your friends, are there any who carry a strange knife and don't seem very bright?"
"have!"
Upon hearing the two keywords, Floran immediately guessed who the other person was referring to.
"What's his name?"
Upon hearing this, the man with the bird-beak asked somewhat anxiously.
"he……"
Floran was about to answer when he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
He swallowed the question he was about to answer.
"Um, what's his name?"
The crow-man continued asking questions, moving his face a little closer.
That pale white raven mask looked so oppressive.
Floran, suppressing his panic, shook his head.
"I...I don't know, I'm not very familiar with him."
The crow-man pulled his head back and put the necklace back in his pocket.
Then, he pulled a box out from under the counter.
Upon opening the box, one finds it filled with somewhat rough necklaces.
The crow-man took out four of them, and also took out a silver needle from them.
Thank you, children.
I now allow you to join our Black Death Gang and undergo the initiation ceremony.
Come on, put your hand out.
The crow-man sat up from his chair and placed the four necklaces on the table.
Holding a needle in his hand, he asked the four of them to extend their hands.
"Once you drip blood onto the necklace, it will become your unique Black Death gang identification."
"You're officially inducted into the Black Death now."
All three except Floran were delighted.
Beibei couldn't wait any longer and was the first to step forward, extending her hand.
"I'll go first!"
Hehe, I'm going to become a member of the Black Death!
Sasha, who was standing next to her, covered her eyes and said to Xiao Jie,
"I'm most afraid of pain, remember to cover my eyes later."
Xiao Jie nodded, equally excited.
The crow-man gave an almost imperceptible cold laugh.
Holding a silver needle in his hand, he slowly pierced Beibei's finger.
The silver needle, gleaming faintly, slowly approached.
"etc!"
Just as the needle was about to pierce him, Floran suddenly shouted.
He ran over and tackled Beibei to the ground.
"Brother, what are you doing!"
Beibei fell to the ground, her expression clearly showing displeasure.
