Chapter 505: Bringing a Knife or an Umbrella on a Rainy Night
Chapter 498 – Bringing a Knife or an Umbrella on a Rainy Night
At night, the sky was even darker, except for the fuzzy streetlights on both sides of the road, there was no more light source, and there were no pedestrians to be seen, the whole city was like a no man’s land.
In fact, it is not that there is no home on both sides of the road, but the habit of the residents of Misty City, close the doors and windows, tighten the curtains, do not listen, do not see, do not open the door, because only in this way to avoid trouble, in order to live longer, this is the experience of the residents of Misty City.
In a certain room on the second floor of the street-side hotel, under the light, the three of them were organizing the collected information, obviously none of them were professionals, so they slightly had a feeling of being in a hurry.
In fact, the trio already regretted picking this mission, because the Rainy Night Butcher was nothing new in Misty City, and that was the source of the trouble.
The Misty City, where the sunlight is not seen for years and the life is full of depressions, never lacks perverted murderous maniacs.
These lunatics have a variety of preferences, because the featureless will not be well-informed residents of the fog city to remember, only distinctive can be in the fog city more and more legends to leave a trace of half a star.
Like like fog or rainy night to run out to work in the history of the fog in countless homicidal maniacs, every year will appear dozens of more.
This was still the ones that had been discovered, and even the residents of Misty City themselves couldn’t say how many highly intelligent homicidal maniacs hadn’t been discovered, so this undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the trio’s intelligence gathering.
Through their visits during the day, the three of them collected some information, but after bringing the collected information together, the three of them were dumbfounded.
Unless the Rainy Night Butcher was a homicidal maniac squad, it simply didn’t match up.
The Rainy Night Butcher who was tall and thin covered in bandages and holding two sharp knives.
The tall and strong Rainy Night Butcher wearing an apron and wielding a machete.
The Butcher of the Rainy Night, who is short and skinny with a cowardly expression and two hidden hooks and claws.
Tall and hot, wearing a red dress, the Rainy Night Butcher uses a huge pair of scissors.
This is still a more detailed description of the other heard know is bragging more numerous, such as riding a dream demon, riding a black dragon, riding a chimera, riding a loli what the strange rainy night butcher, a hear know not reliable.
However, what attracted the attention of Hadil and Jinx was a recent rumor that the other party was a polite gentleman who did not carry knives but an umbrella, and would ask passersby some questions, and those who answered wrongly would be killed without mercy.
This claim has caused many people to ridicule, after all, which is a rainy night butcher without a knife, which is as ridiculous as going to the Wild Phantom Tavern without money.
“As ridiculous as it is, it is the most suspicious.” Hadir stroked his chin, which had grown some soft whiskers, and stated his opinion.
The silent Hammer didn’t even need to be asked for his opinion, as he was polishing a sledgehammer used for ironwork.
At that, Jinx nodded approvingly, as the other descriptions had too many personal elements mixed in, like a standard template like a horror story passed down by word of mouth, which rather didn’t fit the real situation, as there was no way to hide such a conspicuous look.
On the other hand, the courteous nobleman carrying an umbrella would not easily attract the attention of others, because such a person could be found everywhere in Misty City, and because of his identity, it was difficult to stop the other party for questioning, and thus was the most suspicious.
However, other information could not be ignored, so the three of them were once again in a tangle, what did the murderer actually look like?
After an unknown amount of time, the sleepy trio heard the sound of rain tapping on the window. Hadir quietly pulled open the curtains a little, and after realizing that it was raining outside, he turned his head and nodded to the two men.
Silently packing up and putting away their things, the three of them put on waterproof cloaks and tied up their pants legs, and then walked out from the inn where they were temporarily staying, behind them was the innkeeper who was looking at the dead, obviously as a local snake he was very clear about the things that were happening around him during this period of time, and the Gentleman Rainy Night Butcher was exactly the one who provided the information.
It was a pity that the other party didn’t provide more clues, because curiosity and knowing too much can lead to a short life.
Walking out of the inn, taking a deep breath of the cold air with water vapor, the whole person was suddenly much more energetic, Hadir took a lamp, did not dare to turn the light to the maximum, in fact, even if it was turned to the brightest there was no use, in addition to making themselves more conspicuous, there is no benefit, but only used to let the three people do not get lost.
It wasn’t a joke, with the way things were in Misty City, it was a common occurrence for a family of three to be left alone while walking.
Luckily, as the raindrops fell, the fog lessened a lot, making the view a little better, but the rain didn’t feel great when it fell on them, and it had a tendency to get heavier and heavier.
With the situation in Misty City, it was common for a rain to fall for ten days and half a month, but the rain getting heavier and heavier also caused them some trouble.
The large raindrops smashed on the ground, splashing up more water droplets in the puddles, wetting the shoes and pant legs of the three, along with the rainwater seeping in through the cracks of their cloaks, making the three feel their bodies chilling.
Although this was the south, the special location of the Misty Capital, coupled with the special environment, caused the temperature here to be about ten degrees lower than the rest of the south, and at night plus the rain, the temperature would be even lower, enough to make a drunken drunkard lying on the street lose his temperature and die.
Fortunately, the three of them have gone through the magic blood ceremony, their physique is stronger than ordinary people, although uncomfortable, but not so much as to get sick, so they continue to start patrolling along the street, when they come to the end of the street, turn to the next street to continue, this is also the scope of their patrol.
Just now that street rain heavy ground are beginning to accumulate water, gushing into the sewer mouth of the water rattling, while the fog on this street is as thick as melting, not a drop of rain, but the penetration of the fog is more difficult to resist than the raindrops, the three people coincidentally shivered.
“Hell!” Around wanting to maintain the appearance of a wise leader, but the bad environment still made Hadir cursed, because the fog here is too thick, even he, looking down at the lamp in his hand is hazy, even the surface of the feet can not be seen, in this case, even if the murder occurred around them, it is estimated that they can not find out.
At this time Jinx remembered that a special luminous plant she saw in the garden was able to emit light that could penetrate the fog, but in the face of unknown opponents, exposing herself to light is obviously not a good idea, so she just summoned a fiery pea shooter with the ability to autonomously claim the enemy, as well as the nut armor used for body protection.
The Nut Armor was able to split into hundreds of pieces from a single whole, protecting the summoner close to her body and enhancing her defense or repairing damage through magic, and if necessary, she could quickly proliferate the Nut Shell to increase her defense by injecting more magic, making it a life-saving artifact for a rookie like Jinx.
As a precautionary measure, Jinx consumed some more magic and summoned two nuts and handed them to Haldir and Hammer.
“Squeeze them hard in danger and they will turn into armor to protect you, but the time they can hold up is limited, and the more they are destroyed, the less time they will last”
Although they didn’t know what this was, Hadir and Hammer still discreetly put it away, after all, as newcomers they could be said to be penniless, and could only rely on Jinx, who knew at a glance that she had a better life than them.
But the three men’s luck was not good, at dawn they found a dead body in an alley somewhere on the street where the inn was located, apparently the Rainy Night Butcher had passed them by last night, which made Hadir, who wanted to make something of himself, a little frustrated.
