Bang!

Margot was in a hurry to dodge the flying stab of Evil Dagger. The Revolver in his hand failed to move forward and move down with Lumian's body. The bullet hit the opposite wall, causing stone chips to fly everywhere.

With the jingling sound, "Fallen Mercury" flew past Margot again and fell to the ground not far away.

Lumian snapped his body upright and stepped quickly on the enemy's instep with his right foot to prevent him from lifting his knee and hitting his abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, with his hands almost touching the opponent, he struck or smashed with his hands, raised or blocked with his elbows, kicked low or stepped hard with his feet, pushed forward or bounced with his knees. Margot was so overwhelmed that he was exhausted and unable to aim and shoot.

This Villain felt that the opponent's attacks were like a storm, continuous and endless, and they were always close to him, using short-range techniques and not giving him a chance to distance himself and use firearms.

For Margot, such fighting techniques are unfamiliar and dangerous.

Bang!

Margot's elbow hit the wall, causing the house to shake slightly.

Snap!

Margot's right wrist was pushed back, and the black Revolver Pistol came out and fell to the ground.

Pa pa pa pa, Lumian uses his hands, elbows, knees, and feet in succession, causing the enemy to retreat continuously, leaving the left and right in a state of embarrassment.

In the end, Margot was blocking completely based on instinct, and his thoughts could no longer keep up with Lumian's movements.

However, he felt that he had grasped the pattern of the opponent's attacks, figured out the corresponding routines, and could defend against all attacks with muscle memory alone.

If you wait a little longer, he will be able to counterattack!

Following instinct, Margot raised his right foot to stop the opponent's low kick.

But he didn't stop anything.

Lumian's left foot stretched out diagonally in a posture that exceeded the flexibility of the human body, and lifted up the silver-black Dagger that was lying quietly next to it.

The purpose of his fierce attack just now was to force Margot near "Fallen Mercury".

The silver-black Dagger flew up and stabbed Margot's thigh.

On the one hand, Margot was firmly suppressed by Lumian, and on the other hand, he was only standing on one foot. He was unable to perform many actions, so he could only retract his right foot and turn his body slightly in order to dodge.

"Fallen Mercury" rubbed his thigh and flew Past, scratching his sail-colored trousers and leaving a small blood mark.

Bang bang bang, Lumian then used the close-quarters bunt skills taught by Aurora to attack wildly, and Margot was so oppressed that he had no time to deal with the leg injury.

Fortunately, the wound was very shallow, leaving only a little blood.

Bang!

Margot backed up and hit the wall with its back.

During the whole process, he didn't even have a chance to speak, and the other party still plugged his ears, not afraid of him at all Provocation.

Margot's blood surged, and a fierce energy burst out in his heart. He planned to take the initiative in the battle at the cost of injury and get out of the current predicament.

At this moment, his raised arms were holding nothing.

He was confused and stunned when he saw the weird man with a white bandage on his face take the initiative to step back and distance himself from him.

Then, the weirdo turned around and ran. On the way, he picked up the silver-black Dagger with his toes and grabbed it in his left palm.

Margot was stunned for a second and was about to catch up. At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the alley.

Two night watchmen Police heard the gunshots and were notified by nearby residents who "went downstairs" due to the fire, so they rushed over with black Semiautomatic Pistol.

"What happened? What are you Stinger Gang doing?" Seeing that they were acquaintances, one of the Police asked with a frown.

Glancing at the two Police who were wearing white shirts, black vests and black uniform jackets, Margot replied disdainfully, "I was attacked, police officer, you came too late!"

He said this, but in his heart he was glad that Police arrived not too late and scared away the weirdo, otherwise he might really be hunted.

After all, that weirdo should also be Sequence 8's "Provocateur", and his fighting skills are obviously stronger than his, and he designed it layer by layer to take the initiative and gain the advantage.

Police who asked the question had a dark face:

"Then you come back with me to record a statement, and we will help you find the attacker.

"And, is this your gun?"

He pointed at Revolver Pistol that fell on the ground.

Margot sneered, "You guys are looking for it? Haha, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year!

"That gun belongs to the attacker, take it away."

After speaking, he briefly checked the wound to confirm that it was not poisoned.

Then he left the alley in a swaggering manner in front of two Polices.

The police officer who initially asked the question had an ugly expression and tried to draw his gun, but was restrained by his colleague.

Returning to Nightingale Street, Margot's expression darkened.

His most instinctive idea was to go home quickly and use the preset traps to guard against a possible second wave of attacks.

After a few seconds, Margot gave up the plan because he felt it was not appropriate enough.

He planned to go to Stinger Gang Boss"Black Scorpion"Roger's home now, tell him about the attack, and stay there for one night.

That's where Margot thinks it's the safest place.

After Margot briefly bandaged the wound on his right leg, he started running wildly, running all the way from Nightingale Street to Market Avenue, running to a place close to Susie Steam Train Station, and running to the three-story building with a small garden at the back of No. 126.

Soon, he saw "Black Scorpion" Roger at Study.

This is a middle-aged man with black hair sticking up back, a slightly fat face, and cold and deep blue eyes.

Roger was wearing aqua blue Pajamas pajamas made of silk, looking at Margot expressionlessly:

"You were attacked?"

"Yes." Margot told what happened exactly.

Roger The blue Eyes suddenly became Gloom, as if connected with the Abyss whose bottom could not be seen or the Hell which never had any light.

After a moment, he nodded:

"There are no traces of exposure to Curse.

"But you have to be careful, that knife has your blood on it."

Roger walked up to Margot as he said:

"Let me help you eliminate hidden dangers first."

"Thank you Boss." Margot breathed a sigh of relief obviously.

He followed Roger out of Study and entered Basement along the stairs.

After turning the switch and lighting Gas Wall Lamp, "Black Scorpion" Roger pointed to Statues in the center and said, "Open it and get inside."

That Statues is Women with soft facial features, and the wrinkles of Long Dress are lifelike.

Margot took a few steps to reach Statues, pulled open Secret Door on its abdomen, and climbed in.

With Secret Door closed, Basement became extremely quiet.

"Black Scorpion"Roger looked at the Statues and read out Vocabulary using Ancient Hermetic:

"Rebirth!"

Illusive, fuzzy black Flames suddenly appeared on the surface of Statues. They flowed like water, quietly Burning.

After thirty seconds, Roger said to Margot, "You can come out now."

This is a way to eliminate the hidden dangers of Curse - using the behavior of entering Women Statues's abdomen and coming out to symbolize "rebirth", and then using the corresponding Extraordinary Ability, you can disconnect from things that fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Wait for me at Study, and I will look for clues about the attackers of m. hetushu. com. com." Roger saw that Margot had nothing to do, so he ordered.

Margot nodded, quickly walked out of Basement, returned to Study, pulled up a chair and sat down.

As time passed by, Margot suddenly felt that his body became extremely heavy, as if his whole body was sinking into water, getting wet and chilling little by little.

His breathing started to become difficult.

Margot's pupils dilated instantly, but he saw nothing.

He struggled hard, as if he was tied up by ropes, and could only move his arms, fingers and feet with great difficulty.

Plop!

Margot finally let himself roll to the ground, but the abnormality did not disappear. His face became more and more purple, his mouth opened wide, and his thoughts gradually became blurred.

Why... With such thoughts, Margot fell into darkness.

At the door of Basement, Roger walked out with a solemn expression.

"Has strong Anti-Divination ability...

"This matter is not simple...

"...""Black Scorpion"Roger returned to Study while thinking.

The next second, his vision froze.

He saw Margot lying on the ground, his face was blue and purple, his lower body was wet, and he was no longer breathing.

After the leader of Stinger Gang carried out the Ritual to eliminate the hidden dangers of Curse, he died strangely in the safest place of Stinger Gang, in front of "Black Scorpion" Roger.

Golden Rooster Inn, Room 207.

Lumian, who had already changed his clothes, nodded with satisfaction.

"Fallen Mercury" vibrated to tell him that the exchange of Destiny was completed.

This means that Margot will immediately be attacked by Montsouris Ghosts.

--After stabbing someone else, it will take a long time to complete the exchange of Destiny. Depending on the Destiny you want to exchange, the strength of the other party, and the degree of subconscious resistance, it ranges from five to six minutes to 20 to 30 minutes. If the target is Lumian himself, and he opens up his body and mind, and even his subconscious cannot wait, then the exchange of Destiny can be completed very quickly, in a few seconds or more than ten seconds.

Looking at the silver-black Dagger in his hand, Lumian smiled and said, "When I have time, I will teach you the Morse code. Otherwise, every time I communicate with you, I have to constantly exclude options based on your feedback. It will be too troublesome."

"Fallen Mercury" The trembling blade suddenly stopped, seeming a little shocked.

Lumian, who succeeded Hunting, was in a good mood. He smiled and joked, "Are you thinking, why do I need to learn how to use a knife? You must have ideals as a person, and the same goes for making knives. Do you want to be like this for the rest of your life?"

He then asked, "What is Destiny being exchanged this time?"

As Lumian asked, he extended his spirituality to the silver-black Dagger, which was engraved with layers of patterns.

With the cooperation of "Fallen Mercury", he slowly figured out what the Drops of Destiny stored in the knife represented:

That's Margot taking stacks of Banknotes from different Subordinate's Destiny.

"You're quite good at choosing." Lumian was busy fighting before and gave "Commission" full authority over Exchange Destiny's affairs to "Fallen Mercury", but told it in advance that he was a little short of money recently.

After liking "Fallen Mercury", Lumian fell into deep thought:

"After this Destiny is exchanged, how will it be implemented?"
