At the same time, after he left, a white figure passed by their original position like the wind.
She was a slender, tall, but not thin woman wearing a mask and a white cloak.
Index Finger Ascetic, October.
She has always been there.
She was holding a note in her hand and looked in the direction where Zhao Ye left, and couldn't help but frowning.
Chapter 28 Blood Demon
迹
October followed Zhaoye silently.
Even with a blindfold on, she was still able to find her target accurately, and kept staring at and observing Zhao Ye accurately.
She followed Zhaoye slowly, quietly, without making any sound.
When she made up her mind to follow Zhao Ye, neither the Zwei Association's closers nor the duelists who were excited after the duel could find her.
But she didn't do anything special, she just followed.
She watched Zhaoye easily create a physical image simply by placing a card into the duel disk.
She watched the fierce duel between Youzhou and Heitao. The strong mental collision surprised her a little.
She watched Zhao Ye leave alone, following the casino thugs who had left earlier, and watched him walk into an alley.
There was a smell of blood coming from the alley, and a figure was dragging several human bodies, looking very nervous.
Several unlucky guys who were knocked unconscious by Zhao Ye's Rapid Burial were dragged here. There were some extra cracks on their bodies and blood was flowing out of them. A figure was frantically holding some bottles and jars, collecting them in a panic.
Zhao Ye stepped into the alley.
The ground in the alley was a little sticky, and there was a gloomy breeze blowing, which was eerie and disgusting.
Zhao Ye’s arrival attracted the attention of the people in the alley—if that person could really be called a “person”.
She was startled, then she put away her things, her eyes glowing a strange red, and she stood up and looked at Zhao Ye.
"It's you... have you followed me all the way?"
"I'm just curious." Zhao Ye looked around and observed the surrounding situation.
In reality, the thugs who were pulled over were not actually dead, they just had cut wounds.
Their blood was collected by this "woman" in a vessel, which looked very strange.
"You didn't kill anyone..."
"You..." The woman stood up, her body trembling a little. It was unknown whether it was because of fear or some other reason. Her pupils glowed red, and she gritted her teeth and looked at Zhao Ye and said, "I don't want to either... I just... I..."
She couldn't explain it clearly, or maybe she didn't want to explain it.
"Today during the day, I saw you looking at the people around you eagerly, but you were always able to hide your thoughts. But when you saw the boat, you seemed very excited and couldn't suppress your thoughts at all."
"That's definitely not love at first sight or anything like that... Haha, that kind of look, I've only seen it before when my cat sees a mouse."
猎杀的欲望。欢;:迎"进"!入【,!夜;袭";的":月:费.'群;:】:.6;:""6!，1:3";5."
The woman lowered her head, her voice trembling as she spoke: "I have always wanted to endure it, but..."
She wanted to explain, but finally gave up. Her body slowly changed, and her entire face began to mutate. Slowly, her face became unrecognizable and turned into a bloody face made up of a bunch of red blood vessels.
Zhaoye frowned, raised the duel disk in his hand, and got ready.
He discovered this woman not simply because of You Zhou, but more because when Zhao Ye saw this woman, he noticed that her emotions were quite negative, and there were many strange blood-colored strips flying around her - more obvious than Vivian's, and more solid than Vivian's.
Now it seems that if Vivian's condition gets any more serious, she might end up in a similar state.
Zhao Ye came here alone, and it was certainly not just out of curiosity.
Firstly, this woman had been secretly spying on You Zhou, the "new employee", and secondly, Zhao Ye also wanted to get to know the problem with Vivian by contacting her.
His goal is to become number one in the world, and women are troublesome - but the premise is that they don't affect him or hinder him.
Vivian and Lin were the shop assistants he had trained with great difficulty. They were in very good shape and both had considerable training value. If they suddenly died, disappeared or mutated due to some inexplicable phenomenon in the city, it would be a huge loss for Bei Ye.
And the most important reason is to strangle the crisis.
The Dice Gang, the Poker Agency and the like will come to him on their own initiative, and Zhao Ye can ignore them. But people like this weird woman are uncontrollable factors and are a "stumbling block" to his goal. He has the time and no other reliable "combat power" at his disposal, so naturally he has to come and check it out himself.
As soon as he came over, he saw that the woman was collecting other people's blood.
It looks a bit like a vampire. I didn’t know such a thing even existed in the city?
The vampire flew up and pounced towards Zhaoye. Zhaoye was ready to block it with the duel disk, but at this moment -
A flash of silver light passed by.
A silver-white figure instantly appeared in front of Zhaoye.
Under the white cloak, the pure black suit shows off the tall figure to the fullest, and a long sword instantly cuts the attacking vampire into two pieces.
"Ahhhh!?" The vampire wanted to dodge, but he was unable to react in time. His arms, shoulders, and most of his upper body were all cut off.
The next moment, she
He was so doubtful that he dared not to take any more action. He simply abandoned part of his body and the blood he had worked so hard to obtain, and fled for his life.
Zhao Ye’s brows twitched.
Amazing.
This hand...
When the figure saw the vampire running away, he paused for a moment and did not chase after him. He slowly retracted his weapon, came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Ye.
It's October.
Zhao Ye was not surprised at all.
This makeup and outfit could only be October.
"Good evening, October." In such a remote place, if October wanted to do something bad to him, Zhao Ye might really fall. But Zhao Ye was not panicked at all and greeted her with a smile.
"Zhao Ye." Shi Yue hesitated for a moment, but still nodded to Zhao Ye as a greeting.
"Have you received any [instructions]?"
Zhaoye was not surprised by October's appearance.
After spending some time together, and with the exaggerations and reminders from those people from the Zwei Association, Zhao Ye has learned that Shi Yue is an ascetic from the "Index Finger", the largest gang in the city.
Although she was only the lowest-level member of the "Ascetic" gang, from the attitude and caution of Wicks and his gang towards her, it can be seen that her combat capability was definitely not bad. At the same time, she was also quite dangerous, at least to "law and order".
The index finger, the index finger that follows instructions, the index finger that only obeys instructions.
Weeks reminded him that although October did not seem to be a threat to the store and had never caused any trouble, if she received an "instruction" that was detrimental to the night or the store, she would absolutely obey the order unconditionally and kill them.
According to Weeks, if she was told to take good care of a cat for ten years, she would do it; but if she was told to kill the cat she had raised for ten years, she would do it instantly without hesitation.
This is the danger of the Index Finger, because they are all crazy and firmly follow those inexplicable instructions that come from nowhere.
"Instructions?... Hmm..."
In her other hand she held a directive.
Obviously, she did receive a new instruction.
But she obviously wouldn't tell Zhaoye what the instruction was.
"So, you followed orders to save me? Haha, then I'm pretty lucky." Although Zhao Ye was confident, there was definitely no way he could kill the vampire as cleanly as October.
"Uh...not really." After hearing what Zhaoye said, October shook his head decisively without hesitation.
This surprised Zhaoye a little.
But October obviously couldn't lie about such a thing - she was the ascetic of the index finger after all.
He saw Shi Yue standing quietly beside him and raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything. He just walked into the alley and stopped the bleeding for a few unfortunate guys.
“They are all non-fatal wounds…” Zhaoye said while providing simple assistance.
"Why are you helping them?"
"I simply don't want them to die."
"Why? They are even your enemies."
"A living person is more meaningful and valuable than a dead person, right?" Zhao Ye asked back, "The instructions shouldn't require you to kill people every time, right?"
October tilted her head slightly, pondered for a moment, nodded, and then she couldn't help but walk up and help Zhao Ye with a simple bandage.
She herself was a person who did not like tragedy. After all, the group of people in front of her were just working for the casino. If it was a normal battle, she would never blink if they were killed by Zhao Ye. But since they were dragged away by the Blood Demon, there would be nothing wrong in helping them a little.
After simply bandaging the wound and seeing that several people were not going to bleed to death, Zhao Ye lost interest and prepared to leave.
"Do you want to find that blood demon?"
"Blood Demon?" Zhao Ye thought of a monster he particularly liked. "So that's how it is. The monster just now is called Blood Demon?"
"Yeah. But she's not a monster."
"Not a monster?!" Zhao Ye was slightly stunned when he heard this and turned to look at Shiyue.
"Blood demons, vampires, you can call them whatever you want. According to the city's rules, they are indeed [humans]."
Zhaoye raised his eyebrows.
This really surprised him.
In many, many works that he knew of, vampires were creatures that were completely different from humans. In many works, vampires considered themselves superior to humans and a more noble race besides humans.
But... Zhao Ye thought about it again. Considering that the "people" in this world and the "people" he knew were not the same concept, it seemed quite reasonable.
After all, it is impossible for normal humans to produce more energy than the batteries they make.
So, maybe the "blood demons" are just a branch of human race? Just like the countries in the traces have different ethnic groups, the humans in this world also have different ethnic groups, but the differences are bigger?
"So that's how it is..." Zhaoye frowned slowly.
"In that case...I have to thank you, October."
"What, what?" October was a little slow to react and let out a low cry of surprise, which was unlike her usual cold self.
“I originally wanted to solve it once and for all, but it seems that I was too extreme.
Since they are different groups of humans, they should be given a chance."
Although
October was cut into two pieces and seemed to have lost a lot of flesh and limbs, but at least it was better than directly printing Kali.
"This..." October didn't know what to say.
She took action only because the "Blood Demon" was much stronger than those thugs and cleaners, and she was worried about Zhao Ye, so she took action urgently.
But since Zhao Ye said so, she had no choice but to agree embarrassedly.
After Zhao Ye finished his work, he told Shiyue that he was looking forward to Shiyue's performance in the game tomorrow, and then prepared to return to the store.
Shiyue knew that what Zhaoye said was definitely not just a compliment.
With a faint smile on her face, she "watched" Zhao Ye leave. After Zhao Ye walked away, she couldn't help but frowning, spread out the note in her left hand, and held it in front of her eyes to check it again and again.
"Well……"
After taking a look, she hurriedly folded the instructions with both hands and carefully hid them in her suit pocket.
She did receive an instruction.
And the instructions must be completed.
She took a deep breath, and then slowly followed in the direction Zhao Ye left.
Chapter 29 Eudora
In the dim alley, a figure stumbled into the alley. She leaned against the wall, covering her chest with one hand, and gasped for breath. While gasping for breath, she panickedly poked her head out of the alley and looked behind her. When she found that no one was chasing her, she closed her eyes in pain, tilted her head back, and hit the wall with a bang. She leaned against the wall and slowly fell down.
"Woo..." The girl sobbed softly.
Her name was Eudora.
Her arms and a large part of her upper body were chopped off by October. If she had not seen the situation and immediately ran away, she would have been killed by October's two swords.
