Whispering Verse

His eyes rested on Darkness's red gloves for a moment. Shade shook his head indifferently. He was not very competitive and told the other party what he had done:

"It doesn't matter what level I am, but since you don't like me, I won't say anything more and just pretend we haven't met today."

"No, no, it's okay if I haven't seen you before. Now that you have found me, of course I can't let you leave."

As he spoke, Mr. Darkness dropped the umbrella in his hand, and then took off the red glove on his right hand. The right hand under the glove is obviously larger than his other hand. Under the dark, swollen skin, there seemed to be worms swarming around.

He smiled weirdly at Shade, then raised his right arm with his left hand. Shade instinctively felt uneasy, and what happened next proved that this uneasiness was right, because the palm of Mr. Darkness' right hand actually cracked a gap, and then a mouth with teeth appeared in the palm.

"oh!"

The strange dizziness made Sha De stagger and almost lose his balance. The open mouth seemed to be directly connected to the bottomless abyss, and he even felt that his soul was being sucked into it.

The separation of souls is an illusion, but the huge suction force is not. The mouth squirmed, and over the rooftop space between Shade and Darkness, the falling rain actually changed its trajectory and flew towards the mouth in an arc.

The suction force forced Shade to stumble forward again, and then he immediately slashed a moonlight forward with his right hand. The light struck directly at the open mouth, but as a strange darkness appeared in front of Darkness, Silver Moon's strike actually disappeared.

It wasn't a space shift, nor was it that the target had been hit, but the moonlight was really swallowed up by darkness.

"you......"

Behind the mask, Shade's eyes widened.

The strange dark power gave him a strange feeling. Even the strange mouth on the other person's right hand didn't have this feeling. After thinking for a while, I realized that the darkness that swallowed up the moonlight was very similar to what Shade felt when he felt Iluna's "balance".

"This is really..."

The darkness only appeared for a moment and then disappeared, but the suction force of Darkness's right mouth continued to increase. Shade's body wanted to move sideways, but the powerful suction force did not allow him to make any movement.

"Can't you escape...huh?"

Darkness frowned slightly, because Shade's figure disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared in the corner of the roof. Before Darkness could turn his right hand around, Shade dropped the frog legs, then bent slightly and jumped back suddenly, holding an umbrella and jumping across the alley, reaching the roof of the building opposite.

At a long distance, the suction force of that terrible hand became much smaller, and it was just swallowing the rainwater in vain. So the middle-aged man with a gloomy face put down his right hand, squinted his eyes, and looked across the rain curtain at Sha De across the alley.

The two looked at each other in silence, neither of them spoke first. In the end, it was Shade who spoke first, and a somewhat vague voice reached the ears of the middle-aged man who was putting on his gloves again:

"I'm very curious about who you are. It's so unfriendly to be so harsh when we meet."

Shade was not arrogant enough to think that he could fight a six-ring warlock. He was able to escape just now because the other party did not expect that he could move in space. So while talking, Shade jumped from the roof again, and in a few breaths, his figure completely disappeared in the rain.

The most important reason for choosing to meet on the rooftop is to facilitate escape.

The middle-aged man wearing red gloves did not chase, and even the other ring warlocks who were ambushing downstairs did not chase:

"You think you can escape?"

He muttered, picked up his umbrella and turned to the stairs, ready to join his companions.

Shade on the other side didn't know if anyone was chasing him, so he waited until the spell [Frog's Leap] was about to end before stopping his escape.

When he stopped, even he didn't know where he ended up in Coldwater Port. After walking around a few times, he felt relieved when he didn't find anyone suddenly jumping out to kill him.

Taking off his mask, he gasped and leaned against the entrance of the alley. There was a road in front of him. Because of the rain, there were not many people on the road. Thinking about what just happened, I felt that this trip was worth it:

"This time is really an adventure. It turns out that Mr. Darkness is a six-ring warlock... He must be extraordinary in being able to go to the bottom cabin of the fishbone pirate ship. But the mouth in the palm just now was also a thaumaturgy. ...Why does it look like a manifestation of the ring magician losing control? And the darkness that swallowed up my thaumaturgy, that strange feeling..."

The carriage ran wildly in the rain and passed in front of Shade, splashing water on his boots.

"It would be really bad if this guy who is willing to kill someone when he meets him is really the second one."

After taking a few breaths, he felt that he had recovered a lot. Just when Shade was relaxing and planning to return to the Seven Broomsticks Tavern, a voice suddenly came from his ears:

[If I remember correctly, you have always carried the "twenty-sided dice of fate". 】

"certainly."

[From one to twenty, from twenty to one, stranger, this is a good time to flip the dice. 】

"Huh? What?"

In the pattering rain, Sha De's face showed an expression of horror and astonishment.

He threw away the umbrella very quickly, took out the box from his pocket, twisted the metal dice inside and threw it directly into the rain. At the same time, the whispering in the ear continued to explain the current situation:

[You feel an attack from fate. 】

"Who? Who wants to harm me?"

Shade looked left and right in the rain.

[You fought back against it. 】

Shade caught the falling dice, and when he saw that the number on the dice was actually twenty, his eyes widened again:

"Who wants to kill me again?"

Powerful attacks can reflect extremely high luck. This time, twenty means that the opponent spent a lot of effort in attacking.

Twenty on the die does not currently indicate good luck, but something is bound to happen at this moment. This time there was no need to wait, she gave the answer:

[The ripples of fate this time are the same as the last time. 】

"Which one last time?"

[The puppeteer's script, stranger, is the puppeteer's script attacking you. 】

Shade didn't pick up the umbrella, and just stood in the rain, letting the rain wet himself. The expression on his face was shock, astonishment, and anger:

"Luvia has three pages of script, but she can't possibly attack me. The rest of the script is all in the hands of the [Blood Spirit School], and it's the Blood Spirit School... Wait!"

Shade turned around suddenly and looked in the direction he came from:

"I just left Darkness when I was attacked...Mr. Darkness, is he from the Blood Spirit School?"

More details appeared in Shade's mind at the same time, and he understood them all:

"Mr. Darkness is what Miss Carina said, the person who was originally arranged to come to Tobesk from the New World to assist [Mercury Blood]!"

He looked in the distant direction, and as expected, there was a person writing now. He was shocked to find that the blood on his fingers had contaminated the handwriting he had just written.

"Mr. Darkness's companions are another member of the [Blood Spirit School], as well as other members of the [Mercury Blood] who escaped from Tobesk! That's why there are so many people in the Pink Rose Hotel who are unwilling to act casually. Show up people!”

He bent down and picked up the umbrella, knowing everything in his heart:

"That's it, that's it. They are waiting to board the ship, so that's what it means! They are preparing to board the ship and return to the New World. That's why they try their best to avoid being found. That's it! I knew that those who cheated at cards were definitely not What a good man!

She chuckled in his ear.

"The Blood Spirit School, it's you again. But if Darkness is really the second chosen one..."

After standing there and thinking for a moment, Xia De held up his umbrella and ran hurriedly into the distance.

(Shadow is running...)

An hour and a half later, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the panting Shade met the purple-eyed fortune teller in the fortune telling room on the second floor of the Tobesk City Prophet Association.

This time Shade did not bring the cat. Luvia closed the door and looked at him very curiously:

"Xia De, why do you look like you ran for several streets?"

"I not only ran wildly, but also swam a long distance."

He held his chest and adjusted his breathing.

"Swimming? Did you come back from Coldwater Port just now? What happened?"

Luvia's face became serious:

"Shade, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but there may be trouble regarding the second chosen one."

He took out the [Colmo Empire Gold Coin] and [Death's Atonement Coin] that were left after the last divination, and softly told the situation he encountered today. While Luvia frowned, Shade proposed what he wanted to do Things:

"Use these two coins to divine whether I will meet the Chosen One today."

"If it is true, then it will be troublesome. The Blood Spirit School..."

Luvia understood what Shade was worried about. She first tried to throw one, but the result was not revealed, which in itself vaguely revealed the result.

But for insurance, she still consumed these two hard-earned special coins, which meant that they only had one piece of blood money left for each of them. As the coins turned into fly ash, Luvia opened her purple eyes:

"I saw a man holding an umbrella and wearing red gloves."

"Yes, that is Mr. Darkness."

"That is the second chosen one."

Although he had expected this result, Shade couldn't help but take a breath when he heard it was confirmed. The outsiders and fortune tellers have long thought that it is impossible for all the chosen ones to be good people, but the second one is the ring warlock who is a hostile force to them, which is not a good thing.

"The other party has the curse of the Mermaid Song. At least before the sea return ceremony, he will definitely not leave the cold water port. What should we do? Just pretend that he does not exist?"

Shade asked, neither he nor Luvia would be close to such a person.

"Or kill him directly?"

Shade narrowed his eyes slightly. He still had a drop of divinity in him, but the other party hadn't even truly awakened yet. But the question isn't whether Shade can succeed, but whether it's worth it.

"Or...report him?"

"Report him!"

Luvia said loudly.
