Chapter 10 True Face(1/2)
At night, there are no clouds, and the stars in the sky flash from time to time, indicating that time is not prohibited.
A crescent moon hangs in the sky, accompanying those walking in the dark.
The roads in the slums are very poor, with only the simplest stones being paved in a twist. They are usually fine, but when it rains, they are still as muddy as dirt roads.
A long-haired woman is walking on this bumpy road.
She has long light brown hair that can be seen at night, beautiful face, and a tall figure of 1.68 meters.
From the light blue pupils that you can see at night, you can see that she is already used to the environment here.
She walked forward calmly in a long skirt that was over the knee and a pair of inferior leather boots that had been washed until white.
It is very abnormal for such a woman to dare to walk alone in a slum on such a night.
She was born, raised and lived in a slum.
Perhaps because her parents have no education, she has no name and only has a nickname.
She has had many nicknames since she was a child, such as fool, idiot, wild girl, man woman...
Now, her nickname is, Centipede.
As a member of an organization that makes a living in a slum, her life is relatively good here.
At least you don’t have to wear clothes every day like most people here, and you also have to consider how to find a way to get food through work or even begging.
She just needs to find a way to complete the tasks assigned by her boss, and at the same time she can help people outside do other tasks.
Stealing, robbery, blackmail and spying on intelligence, etc.
This is all her job within her business scope.
Life here is very depressing, but it doesn’t matter. I have already bought a house outside anyway, so I can slowly retreat to the second line to enjoy a new life.
Today, the boss also said that there is nothing wrong recently, just take care of your subordinates.
So after today's meeting, I planned to go to a tavern in the city and have a drink and relax.
As I was walking, I suddenly saw a person standing next to the abandoned house in front of me.
Judging from his body shape, he is a hot woman.
This abandoned house is the edge of the slums. People who are usually curious about slums will come to see it, but it is not normal for a woman to suddenly appear here in the middle of the night.
The centipede was careful in her heart, and a small dagger had appeared in her hand hidden behind her arm.
He continued to move forward without hesitation.
In slums, it is better to have less than more things. If it is not for yourself, there is no need to be too much.
As the distance got closer, the other party spoke first.
"Centipede, I have something to talk to you about."
Hearing the ethereal sound, the centipede's footsteps did not stop, but just clenched the dagger behind him.
"Oh? Can you tell me who you are first..."
When he approached the other person again and saw the golden hair and face that were clearly layered at night, the centipede was a little stunned.
There is nothing in Hesler who doesn't know about this face.
"Brave?" The centipede raised his eyebrows.
Could it be that the rumor was exposed? Centipede thought to himself.
However, the dagger behind him quietly hid.
First of all, everyone knows the combat power of the brave, even if the ten selves add up, they are definitely not the opponent of the brave.
Secondly, even if this matter is exposed, it doesn't matter. The reputation of the brave is well known in Hesler City. It can be said that he is a famous charity.
So even if it is exposed, at most it is to arrest yourself at the public security management officer for a few days, and then the boss will naturally get himself out.
Those who do their jobs are basically called brothers and sisters with the security management officers in private.
"Hello, centipede," Selena smiled, "It seems you know what I'm talking about with you, right?"
For some reason, looking at the brave man's harmless smile, the centipede's heart thrusts.
Although I don’t know the specific reason, the centipede, who has lived on the verge of life and death since childhood, decided to obey his instinct.
So without saying a word, he pulled out a dagger from his back and slashed straight to Selena's neck.
However, before his hand was lifted, Selena's expression remained unchanged, and she stretched out and kicked her to the left side of her knee.
With a crisp sound of "Gaba", the centipede's right leg had already bent from a strange angle.
Before I could scream, a towel was stuffed into my mouth.
While the centipede fell to the ground, Selena also opened the hidden door hidden on the wall next to her.
"Let's go, let's go and talk below."
The centipede couldn't scream, and the pain of her broken leg made a layer of sweat appear on her head instantly.
But when I saw this secret door open, I was still shocked. I lived here since I was a child and thought no one was more familiar with the slums than me, but I never knew there was such a basement here.
"Let's go, I don't have much time and can't disappear for a long time."
As he said that, Selena reached out and grabbed the centipede's hair and lifted her upper body up.
The centipede couldn't scream in pain, and could only subconsciously reach out and grab Selena's wrist to relieve the pain.
Selena was too lazy to care about this, so she dragged her into the secret door and then closed the door.
Centipede was shocked. She didn't expect Selena would use this method, which simply broke her cognition.
But now I don't have the intention to make her think about these things, because Selena has already grabbed her hair and started going down the stairs.
The centipede grabbed Selena's wrist with both hands and was dragged down the stairs. Her lower body, which had broken legs, hit the stairs one after another, had no time to care about it, after all, she was suffering more severely on her head.
I don’t know how long it took, but the centipede probably felt like it was more than one hundred stairs, used to reach the flat ground.
This is an underground space about ten meters high and the size of a basketball court.
There are glowing gems on the top, and a circle of torches are inserted on the surrounding walls.
Although it is a little dim, you can still see things clearly.
The surrounding walls are not one, but there are many bottomless holes. It can be seen that the door where Selena came down is definitely not the only entrance and exit.
Moreover, the ceiling on the walls is not regular and there are not many artificial traces. This is a natural underground cave.
Selin dragged the centipede to the middle position and threw her to the ground with a swing of her hand.
The centipede raised her hand to wipe her tears before raising her head.
The first thing I saw was my accomplice, Scorpion, who spread the news some time ago.
His hands were tied with a rope and hung in the air ten centimeters above the ground. His hands had turned blue and purple, proving that he had been hanging here for quite some time.
The body without a trace of inch was covered with red whip marks with skin and flesh. The blood dripped along the toes had begun to solidify.
Next to me is a table, and behind the table is a person with feet on the table.
His body as hot as Selena proves to be a woman.
The steep hat folded back shows that this is an alchemist.
Her identity has been proven by her beautiful alien pupils under her scimitar-like eyebrows.
The pearl in the palm of the Honeysuckle Grand Duke, the dream lover of many men in Hesler City, Casgrove, and Nitia Lantes.
How could she be here?
An earthquake broke out in the centipede's heart, and it seemed that she did the scorpion's business?
Then he turned his head with an incredible look on his face and looked at the brave man who had already walked to the table.
Today these two people really subverted her perception.
The brave Selena has a good relationship with the talented alchemist Nitia, which is well known.
Because the two of them often work together to do various charity activities.
When you walk on the street, you will always give them food when you see homeless orphans.
Help the homeless man introduce work, clean up garbage for the elderly fruit stall owners, and catch thieves and robbers...
This is the daily routine of Selena and Nitia.
The centipede clearly remembered that once Selena was walking on the street and was beaten with eggs and tomatoes by a middle-aged man.
The reason was that his son followed Selena to fight against the Demon King and died on the battlefield, and he did not even bring back the body.
The patrol guards were trying to arrest the other party but were stopped by Selena.
Then she bowed and apologized to the other party with the eggs and tomatoes on her head.
The scene at that time shocked the centipede who was watching the fun nearby. She claimed that she would definitely not be able to do such a thing.
There are countless such things, and for this reason, they are very popular among the people and will be watched with respect wherever they go.
To be continued...
