run?

Where to run? How to run? What to avoid? Are these kids playing riddle people?

After the initial surprise, Halandil kneaded the paper ball in his pocket with some annoyance. He waited nearby for a while, feeling that Pilottis had been there a little too long.

If there is really something unsightly, I should have stopped at this time; even if it is an unspeakable picture, Pilotis and I are both adults... What am I waiting for here!

Harandir was very uneasy and even a little regretful, so he quickly walked towards the alley.

Before he could get to the corner there, the sharp sounds that had never been heard echoed in the air, and were faintly mixed with screams and tear-like sounds, like the sounds of wild cats and owls, and like the cry of a child.

This sudden sound is weird and illusory, and it even makes people wonder if they have auditory hallucinations at the first time.

Halandir seemed to be thrown into an invisible vortex, and fell into confusion and dullness when listening to this strange sound, and the whole world seemed to solidify. A series of thoughts danced wildly in his consciousness like lightning:

"Don't go over!"

"Can't watch!"

"Don't think about it!"

The half-elf ranger stood in place like a stone statue, and cold sweat blew out of the back of his neck. His hair stood up like a frog that encountered a poisonous snake, trembling in the cold fear.

As an extraordinary person, Halandil has a keen sixth perception beyond the five senses. Some subtle and undetectable details are detected and presented to the mind with indescribable thoughts, even clearer and more profound than seeing and listening with your own eyes.

In the dark, he realized that some unexplained clue had appeared around him but was not noticed. The truth behind the clue was so scary that escaping was the only rational choice!

What is it? What am I missing!

What is hidden there!?

If you want to run, you must run away at this time and you cannot go there. I will die at the moment when you notice the truth!

But Pilottis is there, what should she do, how can I leave her behind?

In the end, this thought overwhelmed all fear and hesitation, and Halandier broke free from the petrified state.

Go there to see if you want to escape by reason? This is a question... What is this? How important is a girl in reason?

He made a choice and took a steadily step forward. At this moment, blood surged into his mind, and all the cells and nerves in his body seemed to be cheering.

Halandil could even feel his rationality evaporated. He suddenly witnessed an illusory and tall door, the entrance to a certain palace, with an amazing size that was unimaginable, and must have been sealed with an indescribable existence. The moment he made a decision, the door loosened.

There seemed to be a sound of horse hooves behind the door, from far to near.

The mirage-like illusion was fleeting. Halandir took the whistle from his exit pocket and blew it hard, grabbed his weapon and rushed into the alley.

...

This is a dark street with lots of water and garbage on the ground. The magic fog leaked from the top of the sewer sprinkles a little dim light, making people barely see the outlines around them.

Halandil was not afraid at all. He had a firm pace, was full of energy and was extremely energetic. Even if he had to encounter monsters crawling in the abyss next, he had nothing to be afraid of.

Not far ahead, a woman fell on the wall. Her face was twisted, her open mouth was tilted upwards, and some of her incisors fell off. Her neck was cut twice, her abdomen was also cut open, and a soft object slid to the ground, making a disgusting sound.

The blood-stained dress can still show the gorgeous and provocative style, which makes people unable to connect the victim with Miss Rose.

A tall and burly man in black squatted beside the body, as if he was blending with the darkness. He was hiding under the burqa and staring at the dead woman, his raised eyes just met Harandil who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Where is Pilottis?! Halandil was so worried. He trembled slightly, leaned down and mobilized every joint of his body like a beast. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands pulled out his short sword.

The man in black also noticed him and immediately rushed up. The process of his advance was like a flashing refraction, which made people unable to grasp the specific position. Halandil swung a sword, but slashed in the air. Before he could turn his back to defend, he saw an uppercut from the corner of his eyes smashing towards his chin and hurriedly dodged to the side and back.

As an extraordinary agile person with experienced combat experience, Halandir could not avoid the attacks from the front. His limit was just to turn slightly and avoid being hit by the front.

Immediately afterwards, he was rubbed by the uppercut, as if he was swept by a Category 5 hurricane. Halandir's brain and skull collided violently, and the dizziness almost made him spit out all supper.

This guy is not simple! Where is Pilottis? Has she been attacked too! Are she in danger?

Halandir realized that this was an opponent with strong power and rich fighting skills. He could not resist his attacks and could be hit by an combo that could not escape once he was hit.

He endured the dizziness and quickly pulled the distance to one side. Before he could move two steps, the black-clothed monster had already caught up with him like lightning, and the straight punches from left and right came one after another. Seeing that there was nowhere to be avoided, Halandir hurriedly raised his hand to protect his head, and was hit by a punch and flew backwards.

"Bang!"

Halandir felt himself flying back for a distance, slapped heavily on the wall behind.

This guy! What kind of power is this! Was he here to silence Rose?! Then there must be important clues hidden here!

Halandil's brain was running very quickly. He struggled out of his dizziness and rushed towards the attacker with all his might. The battle blade in his hand cut out a silver light and slashed towards him.

“duang!”

The moment the two passed by, Halandil felt like he was caught in a hailstorm, and he was hit hard. His battle blade was knocked away, and his head was hit hard, and his skull seemed to be cracked and smashed towards the murdered lady.

"Head! Head~Head hurts so much!" Halandier felt like a gong and drum temple was opened in his head. A terrifying sound of rupture came from the skull, and blood spurted out from his forehead and nose. He rolled on the ground with water, and blood was gushing down from his head and nose. He struggled to raise his head and found that the body that had been cut off from his throat and cumella was not far away.

Halandil grabbed a flash bullet and threw it out, then turned around and rushed towards the corpse. However, he had just gotten up and walked a crookedly in a funny posture like a puppet and then threw himself to the ground.

My feet, my feet are out of control, my head hurts so much, I want to vomit, and I can’t stand up!

The flash bomb exploded behind him, and the dazzling light bit the darkness, making Halandier, who was facing the flash, feel dizzy. However, the man in black seemed not to be affected and was rushing over the accumulated water at an extremely fast speed toward him.

Harandil suddenly reached out and pulled off a ball of intestines that fell into the water, turned around and threw it towards the face of the man in black who was close to him. This hand was beyond the enemy's expectations, and even made him stop in surprise.

Before I came here, I had already blew the police whistle, and the patrol would arrive soon. After being stained with the blood of the victim, I would like to see how you escaped the tracking of hunting dogs and divination!

The man in black was indeed stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to turn around and run away immediately. At this moment, a slender and light figure jumped out of the darkness. Pilottis was like a swift in the forest, passing by with the help of a wall.

The man in black turned around quickly, but the investigator's speed was faster than him. He instantly rode on the back of his neck and rotated and rolled with the aid of the raid.

While rotating, Pilottis' wrist flipped, and a cold bowstring appeared between his hands, twisting it towards the neck of the man in black. Although there was a significant difference in body shape and strength between the two sides, under this sudden control technique, the man in black was still locked by a pair of long legs and smashed towards the ground.

"Bang!"

The two fell to the ground together. The strong man in black tried to struggle, but the investigator's legs were locked firmly, and the bowstring strangled the throat.

Her movements were graceful and fatal, and even made people feel a little moved. The locked man in black could not break free even if he used all his skills, and his fierce struggle gradually subsided.

Halandir hurried forward and kicked the man in black. The latter was kicked hard and fell down immediately. He then took out the rope to tie the man in black, blew the police whistle again, and then pulled off the man in black's hood and mask.

The attacker under the mask was Brutus, who had just been interrogated.

...

"Sorry, Harlan," Pilottis panted, pale and looked exhausted: "As soon as I entered, I was attacked and could not give a warning. Someone ran away deep into the alley, and I fell into a state of dizziness without seeing the man's face."

"There is someone outside of Brutus?" Harandil kept tying the powerful half-elf retired captain tightly. While speaking, he looked at the short knife and dagger on the waist of the investigator, "Where is your weapon?"

Rose's wound was a wound left by cutting sharp weapons, but Brutus' attack was limited to bare hands, and there were no weapons left behind on the nearby ground. Halandil did not want to doubt his companions, but he still asked out of vigilance.

"I haven't moved." The investigator was slightly stunned, but he answered quickly.

After Halandil's inspection, Pilottis' weapons were not lost or used.

At this time, a team of patrol soldiers had arrived. They were well-equipped, led by a few elves, and there were many human armed personnel. They learned about the situation, while controlling the scene and the captives, they rushed back to the shop where Rose belonged and began to collect the items of the victims.
