Chapter 504: The Butcher on a Rainy Night
Chapter 497 – Rainy Night Butcher
Even if the city is slightly deeper Hadir, in the immediate environment also has a feeling of not being able to let go, can only bow his head and red face shouted to lend a hand, and then in the hands of unknown male or female moocher woefully dodging, a good half a day before coming to the slightly narrow space behind the stairs.
Here is the place to receive the task, by a not young old demon warlock in charge, but from his back full of mysterious potion and all kinds of bionic cylinder, this side business is a bit rich, it seems that on weekdays did not less for those who have unspeakable old and middle-aged to provide help.
“It’s you young brats again.” The old bone with his eyes closed heard the footsteps and was about to open his mouth to sell the new product when he saw that it was two big boys with red faces and drawn swords, he immediately bristled, and from nowhere, he rummaged out two greased intestinal casings and placed them on the table.
“Thirty copper coins, that’ll keep little brats like you under those cannibalistic dancers for two or three more breaths of time, go cherish, reminisce, and be thankful.” Old Bones said condescendingly to the two rookies as a person who had been there before.
“We’re here to take the mission.” Haldir said with his head full of black lines, then without counting, he pulled out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into Old Bones’s pocket, taking away the sausage coat in the process.
Disdainfully looked at Hadir, but who hasn’t been young, without saying anything else Old Bones pulled out a few thick booklets and let the two go through them.
The quests were unexpectedly numerous, and the time span was not short, from a few years ago to today, there were all kinds of quests, but although most of the quests had been marked as completed, the death descriptions, and the number of times the quests had failed, made Hadir break out in a cold sweat as he looked at them.
So he stopped looking at the more dangerous quests, intending to find a cleaner’s quest to build up his experience first.
At this time, Jinx who said goodbye to her parents also came to the Wild Phantom Tavern, only she hesitated for half a day but didn’t dare to step into this place that exuded a strange smell in front of her, and even attracted a few unsuspecting men.
A few people step with the pace of six relatives, ready to have a free friendly match, suddenly saw Jinx body Devil’s Valley mark, so the expression is very natural collective turn two steps, into a side alley, and then scattered legs to run.
This was Devil’s Hollow’s territory, and hitting a member of Devil’s Hollow on the other side’s turf was simply a case of being tired of living.
Although there was no contact between the two sides, Jinx still sensed the malice of the other side, which prompted her to make up her mind and walk into the tavern.
The revealing clothes and bold movements made Jinx, who was both curious and shy, not dare to raise her head and walked straight towards the location she had inquired about.
Interestingly, inside the tavern, Jinx was like holding up an invisible shield, a circle of blankness around her, not to mention the waiters, even those customers who were never honest with their hands and feet, as if they pressed the pause button, so that she walked to the bottom of the stairs unharmed, and met Haldir and the Hammer two people.
“Although it’s very weak, but the feeling can’t be wrong, it’s a Lord level aura, it seems that there’s a remarkable character in this year’s newcomers.” The foreman of the hybrid chimera dancers who had just walked off the stage whispered to himself.
Jinx who had not yet mastered her own power and was also a rookie did not know what this meant, but the always sensitive Mixed Blood Phantom Dancer Foreman knew clearly from her bloodline memories what such an existence would mean once it grew up, so on her cue, the tavern attendants isolated Jinx so that she was not disturbed in any way.
“Jinx!” Seeing Jinx, who had become better in spirit and color, Haldir was a bit surprised, but still took the initiative to greet her.
“Hadil, Hammer, how have you guys been doing lately?” Although they hadn’t been together for long, but after all, they were a piece of newcomers who had joined Devil’s Valley, Jinx still greeted politely.
In the face of Jinx’s greeting, Haldir just gave a bitter smile, and although Iron Hammer didn’t say anything, but his exposed arms not only had an abnormal skin color, but his overdeveloped muscles looked abnormal as well, and the problem could be seen from all of this, so Jinx was silent, and didn’t even take the initiative to open her mouth to ask why the Hunter brothers weren’t there, because she already knew the answer.
“Are you ready to take on the mission as well?” Haldir couldn’t let the scene get cold, so he asked. “Yes, my teacher suggested that I come here to complete some quests and increase my experience.” Jinx smiled and said, not realizing how envious and jealous Hadil was inside.
The same teacher, the other’s teacher was serious and responsible, looking out for the apprentice in every way, while his teacher was stubborn, cold, arrogant, and took it upon himself to make decisions for him, trying to make him into a tool that could be used.
The more this happened, though, the more Hadir wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to browbeat Jinx, as it could very well be the key to his breakthrough.
Because of Jinx’s inclusion, Hadir chose an investigative mission instead of the one he wanted to take before to clean up the sewer mutant rats.
This was mainly due to the fact that Jinx, as a woman, would definitely not like this type of environment in the sewers, so in order to prevent the other party from rejecting it and not being able to use it to form a squad, Hadil had chosen this mission very smartly.
As expected, Jinx nodded her head and agreed to act with them after reading two pages of the mission column.
The investigation mission was more troublesome even though it didn’t require drilling the sewers.
Investigating any matter in a place with no surveillance, lack of supervision, and complicated personnel was a time-consuming and unappealing task, especially when they were investigating the most recent horror rumor, the Rainy Night Butcher.
For Misty City, fog and rain were inseparable wholes, sometimes a gust of wind would cause a shower of rain to fall on the vapor-rich city, sometimes so heavy that it could wash people away, and sometimes blending into the fog once again before it had fully fallen.
Either way, rain was already a part of life in Misty City, and a butcher who liked to slaughter passersby on rainy nights was certainly an unsettling factor.
Luckily, the other party’s range of activity was fixed within three blocks, so they weren’t running around like headless flies.
The only problem was that there were only three of them, they couldn’t guard a street with one person, even the brainless Hammer wouldn’t have suggested such an idea.
So Hadir finally decided that they would go patrol the middle street together, and then rush to the place where the accident happened when they heard the commotion.
This would most likely miss the time to catch the murderer, but to Hadir, safety was the most important thing.
Not to mention that observing the scene in person was one way to find the killer.
As for the possible deaths and injuries of passersby in the meantime, even Jinx didn’t care, no matter what, she was also a child who grew up in Misty City, and just because her family was happy didn’t mean that she wasn’t aware of the dark side of the city.
Compared to the dark side of the city, death was only a small part of it, things worse than death were a regular occurrence in this city.
