The level of terror is no less than a chicken that can play basketball capturing a wild trigonometric function.
Is this reasonable?
Is this right?
For a split second, the firmly established worldviews of the shadow seemed to shift.
Mavis didn’t know what the shadow was thinking, nor did she want to.
With a wave of her hand, the crimson sword flew to her side.
Pfft, the crimson sword directly pierced through the shadow’s chest.
Mainly because the broadsword was too big; it was good for hitting people, but if she stabbed someone, Mavis was afraid she would split them in two.
As if carrying something dirty, Mavis held the end of the sword hilt with a look of disdain, her arm straight.
Normally, this posture was difficult to exert force, but Mavis, as if carrying foam, casually lifted the shadow into the air.
The shadow was in pain, baring his teeth. This sword was of good quality; it didn’t bend even with a person’s weight.
It was just a little dull, and it was stuck in his bones, causing the shadow to float in the air like a kite.
“What is your relationship with that demon?” Now, even now, the shadow still wanted to extract some information.
Mavis didn’t answer; she was often too lazy to think, not stupid.
Super intelligence told her to just use super strength, so she was too lazy to think.
“Perhaps you are truly blessed by the God of Deceit, but Holderma is a nation of laws, and cannot accommodate any demon.
You are clearly very strong, you can shine in the Silver Codex, but you have gone astray, no wonder the Guardian is disappointed in you, tsk tsk.”
Mavis stopped, and the shadow’s eyes brightened.
Mavis wasn’t provoked; she was just curious. “Why did you want to steal her things?”
“I didn’t steal. We made a deal. Even if you step back, that thing doesn’t belong to that little thief, but she stole it!”
“I mean, why did you go and steal her things?” Mavis’s tone was a bit more serious, throwing the shadow to the ground.
“Cough cough, it was that little thief who stole the things, and I am pursuing the demon!” The shadow tried to conceal how much he valued the original liquid.
But he was not good with words, and the intention to cover it up was too obvious.
For Mavis, the same words would not be said a third time.
She casually used the crimson sword to sever the shadow’s knees.
The shadow was also a tough guy, not making a sound, enduring it.
He still had a little disdain in his heart: the demon’s methods were far more cruel than this.
“What is that thing?”
“I don’t know.”
“Who sent you?”
“I am just carrying out my duty. As a hunter’s duty.”
“Good, you have a tough mouth.”
Mavis didn’t know what methods could torture people, but she could find places to torture them.
So she went to the Gem Street branch of the City Guard.
“Hey, is that stuff still there?”
“Yes, there’s three pounds left; how much do you want?”
“So little?”
“It’s already a lot; it took me a lot of effort to get it in here.”
“Alright, alright, lend me a light.”
Soldier A lit the fire, and Soldier B fanned it.
The flames crackled.
“Mmm, smells good.” Soldier A chewed on a piece of delicious skewers.
“Yeah, yeah, this stuff is really delicious. I don’t understand why they’re banning it.” Soldier B devoured it.
“Hey, hey, after all, it’s demon meat, what if there’s any harm?”
“Heh, we eat demons, damn demons! I eat, eat, eat!”
“Why are you eating so fast? I only have this much left, and it’s gone after I eat it! The expeditionary force won’t be back in town until next month!”
“Cough cough…this, speaking of which, I also think it’s strange.
This demon is actually called the Delicious Meat Demon, how can a demon call itself that?
It’s right for the higher-ups to think there’s a problem. Chew, chew, chew…”
“Is it possible that this name was made up by us, and its real name isn’t this?”
“The person who named it is a genius, easy to understand, chew, chew, chew…”
“That’s also… Damn you, you are eating mine!”
The two began to fight over it.
Suddenly, “Wait, is that Mavis?”
“Don’t try to fool me; I will never let go… Hey, wait, it’s really her! Done, done, I must hide the meat, hide…
Wait, where’s my meat? Wait, where are you? Damn, so fast?”
Soldier A also quickly slipped away.
Mavis didn’t pay attention to them and went directly to the cell.
Unfortunately, the door was locked.
Of course, Mavis could also open the door physically, but she thought that she had been away from home for so long, and if Linlin went back first and noticed something was wrong, that wouldn’t be good.
But how should she deal with this thing in her hand?
Mavis wandered around, came to the conference room, and found it was quite spacious, especially the ceiling was very high.
After thinking about it, Mavis leaped directly and, like shooting a basket, inserted the crimson sword into the wall.
“Mmm.” She nodded in satisfaction. She will leave it there for now, and come back for it tomorrow.
The shadow was silent, feeling like prey hung on the wall; is that polite?
After Mavis left, the shadow breathed a sigh of relief, “Finally gone, this freak. Go down… go down…”
“?”
“Why can’t I move?”
“Can’t use my abilities either?”
“What the hell?”
The shadow could only stare at the crimson sword in his chest with wide eyes.
Under the constraint of gravity, his entire weight was pressing on this sword, and then this sword was stuck in his bones, making him ache.
The shadow was very puzzled why the sword could not bend and at the same time remained motionless while stuck in the wall.
After Mavis went back, she took a shower and then planned to stay in bed and pretend to be asleep, then secretly tease Linlin.
But after thinking about it, she fell asleep.
Linlin was very cautious; even though she didn’t see the shadow’s figure again, she still wandered around the city for a long time, trying to confuse the shadow’s judgment.
At that time, she did give Xiao Lin the original liquid. Originally, Linlin was going to give up on the original liquid and protect herself.
But after seeing that the opponent was clever and outsmarted themselves, she thought it was a swap trick.
Quickly, while the shadow was chasing Linlin, she let Xiao Lin quickly swap the original liquid and replaced it with a beginner equipment repair liquid, throwing it in the trash can along the way.
Then, while the shadow was chasing Xiao Lin, she retrieved the original liquid.
Originally, Linlin was also going to take back Mavis’s toy, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
Without Xiao Lin to assist in resisting the mental pollution, she would be dead if she met the shadow.
An enraged shadow was very likely to be staking out, so there was no need to take risks.
But the problem arose again: where to put the original liquid?
Teacher Bersa’s place was a good choice, but it was late at night, and she was afraid of bringing the wolf to Teacher Bersa.
Home was even worse; Linlin even seriously suspected that her own home might be on the suspect list of the Hunt Court.
If she couldn’t beat them, she would have killed the informant.
Using reverse thinking, Linlin planned to do it under the nose of the authorities and went directly to the Gem Street branch of the City Guard.
The City Guard and the Silver Codex were different organizations.
It was okay for the Silver Codex to catch demons and have the City Guard cooperate, but if they wanted to search the branch at will, that would be a provocation.
As soon as she arrived, Linlin smelled a bloody smell, and her eyebrows furrowed.
Two soldiers seemed to have a quarrel.
“This is mine! Mine!”
“What’s yours and mine, we are brothers in life and death, what’s yours is mine!”
“It seems like it is.”
“Mmm, that’s right.”
“Right?”
“Right, right.”
Linlin took a closer look, and it seemed they were fighting over the meat of the Delicious Meat Demon.
This kind of demon was also favored by gluttonous demons; the meat was very delicious and could be preserved for a long time.
It was just that the pervasive bloody smell was a bit strong, the kind that lingered for a long time.
It was very tender when eaten raw, and of course, better after being cooked.
Putting aside her doubts, Linlin passed the conference room and came to Mavis’s room, placing the original liquid there.
She planned to take it back tomorrow, using the pretense of sending Mavis to work.
Linlin felt that she was quite clever.
The people of the Silver Codex couldn’t possibly barge into the City Guard branch, right?
Searching required procedures.
By the time the procedures were done, Linlin would have taken the original liquid away long ago.
Linlin played a little parkour in the city again, ensuring she wasn’t being tracked, and then returned to her small home.
She didn’t even go to get the Succubus Heart, fearing she would be staked out.
Sometimes things are just so coincidental.
When Linlin passed the conference room, the shadow sensed her aura.
The hunters of the Hunt Court were most sensitive to demons and were also extremely skilled at concealing their auras.
When she came, she seemed to be holding something, and after entering a certain room, the thing in her hand was gone.
She put something down, isn’t this obvious?
The shadow suddenly became excited.
All the effort without reward!
As long as he goes down, down…
Down?
The shadow’s excited heart suddenly sank.
He seemed to be unable to move…
Damn body! Move!
No matter how he shouted in his heart, his body was as stable as Mount Tai, without even swaying.
The shadow stared at the ceiling, closing his eyes in pain.
He was not afraid of being tortured physically.
But this mental one, it was really unbearable!
As long as, as long as he could reach that place.
The distance that could be crossed in a few steps in the past, at this moment, was like a chasm.
For the shadow, the most distant distance in the world wasn’t life and death, but the thing was right in front of the shadow, yet he was helpless.
