Omnibus: Obtaining the Star Cup starts with the power of Shadow

“Jingle bells!”

Rhode pushed open the main entrance of the café, it was the afternoon, there were not many customers inside, about a dozen, sitting in various positions scattered.

After seeing Rhode come in, their eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Rhode, and then turned their heads casually and continued to talk to their companions.

Although their observations were secretive, Rhode sensed it when he came in.

Rhode looked at the two silhouettes standing in front of the service desk in surprise.

New and Taldo.

The two were dressed very much like the OL professional women’s clothes in Rhode’s previous life, with slender jade feet and black shiny, fleshy long simple stockings. The top is a shirt, with several buttons buttoned together, which cannot be said to be revealing, but the streamlined dress has a special charm in the eyes of outsiders.

The two saw Rhode come in, stunned, and then showed a sweet smile, but like ordinary people, they did not step forward to say hello.

“The stronghold of the Shadow Courtyard?”

When Rhode realized something, he immediately cried and laughed, feeling that he had entered the ‘bandits’ den’.

Why do you say that? The guests present were all people who Rhodes knew well, and they had appeared at the Mitsukoshi store last time.

“Here and here!”

A girl who was bored waiting in the corner for something, after seeing Rhode, her eyes lit up and waved at Rhode cutely.

She didn’t know what kind of place she had chosen to meet.

“It’s coming too slowly!” Shirley said with a pout.

“There was a little delay on the road, what, what did you gain today?” Suddenly called me out. Rhode withdrew the gaze of the Shadow Court girls.

“I do have new discoveries.”

Shirley put her hands together on her chest and said with a longing face.

“You told me that the ancient relic is a control device, and after my investigation, that ancient artifact is used to control the greedy eye.”

“The Greedy Eye has the function of absorbing mana and storing it, at the beginning due to uncontrollability, the absorption of mana reaches a critical point, and it will be released all in one go, but with a controller, the Greedy Eye can be controlled to some extent, and if used well, it can play a key role in many places!”

“It’s just amazing!”

When Shirley talked about ancient artifacts, her whole body was glowing.

“So I would like to invite you to work on this topic with me, do you want to join?” Shirley said expectantly.

“Sorry, I’m destined to disappoint you, I’m not interested in research.”

Rhode shook his head, saw that the girl was depressed, and said jokingly.

“If you have any results, I can be the first to be an experimenter, maybe your results will change the world one day, and I will share it with Rong.”

“Changing the world… It’s as powerful as you say. ”

Having said that, the girl still giggled twice, as if she was really looking forward to this day.

Rod’s words succeeded in making the disappointment in Shirley’s heart fade a lot.

“That’s right!”

Shirley thought of something, and said while picking up the exquisite gift box wrapped in red ribbons from the bag next to her

“I’m here to thank you today.”

Shirley pushed the gift box to Rhode’s table and said hesitantly.

“The first gift, I didn’t know what to give, but my father told me that if it was a boy, it would be the most suitable to give chocolate, and I don’t know if you like it or not.”

Rhode glanced down at the chocolate and sighed in his heart.

“What a ‘good’ father, this assist is also nobody, I am a little reluctant to kill him.”

But after all, it is a false word.

Unlike Shirley’s respect for her father, Rod knew what his father had done.

However, he is different from the sins in the original book, and Rhode does not intend to put notoriety on his body at all, and he is not interested in notoriety.

“Giving away chocolate has two different meanings, you know?”

Rhode collected his thoughts and asked interestingly.

“Huh? Have it? If it’s not good, then change it…”

Shirley asked blankly, looking surprisingly cute that day.

“It’s okay, that’s it, thank you.” The corners of Rhode’s mouth raised.

The two were chatting happily, and suddenly, outside the transparent glass, three people wearing black cloaks walked from the outside to the main entrance of the café, and pushed the door in under Rhode’s gaze.

“Jingle bells!”

The café’s reminder bell is crisp and pleasant.

The heads of the three were hidden in the brim of their hats, but after walking in, they did not find a place to sit, and ignored the polite greetings of the waiters, but went straight in the direction of Rhode and Shirley, and the weapon with a sharp cold light slowly pulled out from the waist.

In the café, the voices that had been communicating a little became silent for a moment.

Although the three people who came in wondered why there was suddenly no movement around them, they couldn’t care less when they saw the target in front of them.

“What’s behind me?” Shirley saw that Rhode did not speak, but stared at the position behind her, and asked puzzled.

With Shirley facing away, she saw the move of the two people behind her pulling out their weapons. However, the surrounding atmosphere changes as long as you observe it.

Rhode was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile.

“You say, what if you encounter someone with bad intentions who want to do something to us?”

“Ill-intentioned?”

Although Shirley was very strange about Rod’s words, she still raised her small fist and said fiercely.

“I won’t be afraid!”

As soon as the words fell, Shirley’s arrogant movements came to an abrupt end.

The girl’s eyes widened, her fist stopped in the air, she really couldn’t see the back, but there was a mirror in front of the right side of the café, and with a chance glance of her eyes, the picture reflected inside almost made her cry out in fear.

As the three approached with weapons in hand, Shirley realized that something was wrong!

The speed with which his face changed made Rhode feel amused

“Don’t panic.”

“But there is later…”

Shirley spoke with a tremor in her voice, and she couldn’t help but think of getting up, but a warm hand grabbed her.

Rhode said with a chuckle.

“Do you trust me?”

Seeing Rhode’s flat eyes that did not make any waves, Shirley seemed to be a lot more relieved and nodded without hesitation.

“Believe!”

The smile at the corner of Rhode’s mouth was even bigger.

“Then close your eyes and count down five seconds! No need to meditate in your heart, it’s okay to shout it. ”

“Five seconds countdown? I… I see…”

Shirley was afraid, but out of trust, she still closed her eyes according to Rod’s words, and her eyelashes trembled slightly and whispered.

“5……”

It’s not loud, even a little on the small side, but….

When she spit out the first number with her thin lips, the atmosphere around her suddenly changed, and the air seemed to be filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Everyone silently pushed away their chairs and got up at the same time.

The three of them were not in good consciousness, and it was too late to run.

“4……”

In an instant, they grabbed the arms of the three and seized their weapons, leaving no room for the enemy to resist.

Everyone present, like a machine with a clear division of labor, completed their task.

“3……”

Using everything they could, it be a hairband, or a knife and fork for dessert, they first pressed the enemy’s mouth with one hand, and then easily slashed the enemy’s throat with the other.

The others cooperated and pressed the position of the wound to prevent their blood from dripping to the ground.

“2……”

Dragging the bodies to the back of the café to wait for follow-up treatment, disposing of the blood stains on their bodies, the noise they made was small enough to be ignored.

“1……”

The countdown ended and each other returned to their original seats.

Shirley opened her eyes and subconsciously looked behind her. The original customers in the café are still talking and chatting.

Everything seems to have returned to its original appearance….
