Chapter 26
Early morning in Jerusalem, 01:15, in the foggy White Rose neighborhood.
A woman with brown curly hair rolled up her windbreaker, took a breath of hot air into her hands, and complained: "The temperature difference between day and night is too big. I am still wearing a shirt during the day, but I have to add more clothes at night. I really want to end this quickly." Damn patrol duty, come home, drink a cup of hot milk, and then fall asleep holding my pillow. Staying up late is the number one enemy of beauty, isn't it, Befa~" Another woman held a flashlight in her hand and her movements were meticulous
. , long straight hair hanging down to the waist swaying as she walks, oval face, thin lips, willow eyebrows, double eyelids, high nose bridge, slightly dark red eye color, obviously looks very Western, but has oriental black hair Straight, anyone who sees it can't help but exclaim "oh wow".
"Okay, stop complaining Susan, and patrol well. In two days, it will be someone else's turn to do the night shift." Belfati replied, comforting her companion. She also knew in her heart that although Susan She usually likes to be lazy, but now when she says these words, she is not just complaining, she may also feel scared.
Fear is natural. There have been many disappearances in the White Rose neighborhood recently, and the disappearances will turn into serial murders the next day.
Since no contact with supernatural powers was found, it was initially suspected to be man-made. The Midwinter Police Department took over the investigation of these serial cases. However, in just a few days, the police officers disappeared one after another, and then the bodies were found. In the end, they had to report to the Knights for a joint investigation. .
While Belfati and Susan are not formal members of the Knights, their current titles are trainee knights. They participated in this operation in the name of internships and have not yet graduated from the Royal Academy. Now this time they are roughly equivalent to college students. Vacation internship.
This kind of dangerous mission was originally not their turn, but Belfati got into trouble on the first day she joined the Knights. She was punished for contradicting her superiors. She was not convinced, so she proposed a peace deal. The opponent was engaged in an honor duel. The opponent was a second-level extraordinary silver knight, so for the sake of fairness, he used shackles to suppress his power.
Then Belfati won...
Although he won, he also got into big trouble...By the way, Susan was also angry because she was late on the first day, and they were assigned to the Queen Street to perform night patrol duties, and they didn't even have a job. A first-level extraordinary companion.
When she took the initiative to apply, she was even more difficult and ridiculed. The other party showed her victory in the duel without smiling, and after talking about it, she came to the conclusion that such a small thing would not trouble you.
Belfati did not regret her actions. Her so-called trouble was just that she did not salute the noble knight, so she was made things difficult for her in every possible way.
Although she had no regrets, she could not help but feel disappointed with the Knights, which was now full of class solidification and had almost become a breeding ground for nobles.
How much she once longed for the glorious Knights of the Round Table, but now she is so disappointed and sighing.
A gust of cold wind came out.
Belfati was slightly startled, shook his head, and regained his wandering thoughts.
After three consecutive days of patrolling, nothing was found... If it was really man-made, there is a high probability that he would not have the guts to attack the members of the Knights.
"It's foggy, let's move faster, Susan."
She said, but received no response from her friend's unique nasal voice.
"Susan?"
Looking back, there was no one behind her.
The white fog gradually began to rise. In the darkness, the light could not penetrate the white fog, and there was no one behind it.
Belfati held his breath.
Alone in the streets late at night, this thick white fog, this strange neighborhood, this weird atmosphere...
She secretly thought it was bad.
The current situation cannot be inferred using common sense. Is it true that I have been targeted by the other party and become a hunting target?
She immediately grasped the weapon hanging on her waist, a knight's long sword... However, because she had not yet stepped into the transcendent world, the knight's sword was not actually used. It was a backup borrowed from the Knights. Supplies, no one's name has been engraved on them, so naturally they won't start.
So her real confidence comes from the pistol she carries with her, a P299 pistol with a caliber of 9mm, a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, and an effective range of 50 meters. It is an excellent partner for American Iai.
Firearms basically kill people with one hit. As long as they are not extraordinary, one bullet can send criminals to meet their God.
If he is truly an extraordinary person, he must use this knight's sword, or simply run away without looking back... although he may not be able to escape.
Belfati gritted his teeth and carefully observed his surroundings. Since he was lost, the best way was not to walk around randomly.
"This white fog..."
She began to think that the appearance of the fog might be related to her sudden loss, but the foggy city in mid-winter was always foggy.
She suddenly heard footsteps. She turned around and raised her gun and yelled, "Who is that?"
Through a layer of white mist, she noticed the sound of footsteps coming from an alley, and her leather shoes kicked on the ground. The sound of stepping is very rhythmic.
The other party didn't make a sound and just walked out of the alley calmly.
Belfati also stepped back cautiously, keeping a distance.
Still not sure who the other party is... an enemy, a supernatural being, or an ordinary person?
She didn't dare and couldn't shoot at will unless she understood clearly.
Soon, the back figure walked out of the alleyway, passed through the thick white fog, and appeared in the line of sight. Because the moonlight was dim and the fog was thick, she could not see the other person's face clearly for a while. She only noticed that he was wearing a smart suit. The suit set off her tall and slender figure. The suit was embroidered with some patterns that she could not recognize with golden silk thread, as if it were some kind of writing. The other person's right hand held a civilized staff, and the top of the cane was in the shape of a golden lion's head. The hand holding the cane is clean and slender.
The visitor exuded a unique and transcendent temperament. Her first feeling was that of mystery, and her second feeling was that of charm.
This outfit is very in line with Western aesthetics, but I don’t know what it looks like...
No, no, what are you thinking? Is now the time to care about this?
Belfati lowered the muzzle of the gun fifteen degrees slightly. She could not smell blood from this man. She instinctively felt that he did not look like a murderer, but the origin of the man was mysterious, and he did not look like an ordinary person who had lost his way. Ordinary people I would not wander around the White Rose neighborhood late at night wearing a formal suit.
"Who are you?"
She continued in a low voice, trying to show that she was calm enough, instead of acting like a frightened little girl... Although she had just grown up this year, she was still a fresh-faced freshman at the Royal Academy. newborn.
"Humph..."
Belfati heard a low grunt coming from the other party's throat. The nasal voice had the mellow voice of an adult. It was a unique sound that made you feel as if your eardrums were being fucked. The voice made her scalp tingle instantly, as if an electric current ran through her back, and she almost ignored what this man said.
"I didn't expect to meet a lady here, and I didn't expect that the lady I met was actually..."
The young man took a step forward and walked through the white mist. His handsome and handsome features looked like jade in the moonlight. He smiled and said hello: "Good evening, Miss Jerusalem."
Belfati's eyes were in a trance for a moment.
If it weren't for the inappropriate scene, and if it wasn't the first time she'd met, she would have wondered if she was on a date instead of on night patrol.
By the way, Jerusalem...who is that?
Do you know me? If we knew each other, why did we call him by another name?
"Ahem... I'm sorry."
The young man coughed dryly and took the initiative to express his apology: "Should I call you Miss Tifa?"
"Who is Tifa?"
Belfati's gun lowered thirty degrees again and pointed at the opponent's face. Knees, she corrected with a weird expression: "My name is Belfati Lockhart Hydera."
"Belfati..."
The young man held his chin and looked at the other person's cheek carefully: "Isn't it the other way around? Is that okay?"
Belfati's face turned red after being stared at for thirty seconds. He first turned his head away, then looked away, and finally raised his gun unbearably: "Staring at a lady is not the behavior a gentleman should do!"
The young man smiled and raised his hand: "Sorry, sorry, it's too similar. I made a mistake... If you look carefully, you can see that the similarity is very high, but it turns out they are not the same person." "The same person?" "The Jerusalem in
my
heart ." The young man sighed and laughed at himself: "Perhaps we will never have the chance to see you again."
Belfati's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean..."
The moment she asked, she suddenly saw the young man's face change, and he immediately caught her wrist.
"What are you going to do!"
"Get out of the way!"
With the sound of a misfire, Belfati was pushed away. The moment she fell to the ground, she saw the back of her original position, and tore open the white paper with one hand. The fog, the claw-like blade pierced directly towards the young man's position.
In an instant, it sank to the bottom and disembowelled it.
The young man with outstanding temperament immediately fell to the ground, his chest was broken, and he could no longer survive.
The attacker made a weird laugh, crackling like a madman. He was very tall, half-crouching and still about 1.5 meters tall.
Belfati looked at the scene in front of him and was unable to react for a moment. After reacting, he immediately aimed at the attacker and pulled the trigger, but all the bullets were lost in the white mist and missed.
So fast.
Why does the image of this monster look so much like the Ripper in Shadow Species! However, the Ripper is a shadow species of level 2 or above, which he cannot handle. It seems that this one does not have level 2, otherwise there would be no need to dodge bullets.
She sensed the fatal attack coming again, and she didn't even have time to express her guilt to the man who had just saved her life. She only glanced at the place where he fell to the ground, and then pulled out the knight's sword from her waist.
Dang Dang Dang——!
She resisted several consecutive impacts, but only reluctantly.
Belfati's swordsmanship is among the best in its class, but this monster has no swordsmanship at all. It relies on pure speed and strength. In the white mist, she can't see the opponent's position clearly, and there is no way to judge the attack. The trajectory and attack route can only be passively defended with the knight's sword, which is constantly consuming physical energy.
This can't continue, I will... I
will die...
The moment the thought emerged, her arms trembled for a moment. At the same time, the alien species attacking in the darkness had already rushed forward, and the white mist was torn apart.
There was a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and the knight's sword flew out of his hand and fell to the ground.
Without defense, at this moment, she could almost smell the rotten smell of death.
She did not close her eyes, but raised her hands, unwilling to wait for death even though she knew she would die.
A burst of rapid footsteps was like the beating of a drum, tap tap tap tap...
The next moment, a right leg rose into the air and kicked directly on the side of the alien face. It hit Xuan'er and flew out on the spot, hitting the side of the face. On the wall, there seemed to be a crisp sound of bone cracking.
Belfati was so stunned that she almost collapsed on the ground. She looked at the young man who reappeared in her sight in surprise and felt it was incredible.
He had clearly been stabbed through the chest by a blade, and his heart should have been torn out, so how could he still be alive and kicking?
Bai Yu tore open the collar, pulled down the tie, then wrapped it around the back of his hand and tied it into a simple fist belt. He then flicked the civilized staff in his hand, and the latter instantly transformed into a spear with a black background and a golden lion.
Throwing away his obstructive windbreaker, he walked towards the alien while dragging his spear.
"You've only killed me thirty-seven times and you're tired of it?"
"How dare you attack the lady of Jerusalem in my heart!"
"If I don't raise your ashes today, I'll take your surname instead."
