Whisperer Bar.

office.

"Get a drink?"

Zhong Shenxiu looked at Julie with a bandage and handed over a glass of bloody wine.

This is a cocktail he specially prepared, with a strange ability to heal injuries.

"Thanks……"

Julie held the wine glass in both hands and sipped in small mouthfuls. Suddenly, she shrugged her shoulders and tears rolled down her cheeks: "Jasmine and Shadow... are both dead..."

"This is a strange thing!"

Zhong Shenxiu played with the meat ball in her hand, and felt that this meat ball did not look like some kind of flesh and blood essence, and the texture was very strong.

Although being scared by myself was like being dead, it was not that easy to break open this shell and figure out the secrets.

He asked casually, "How did this gluttony man come to you?"

"We just came back and were found..."

Julie sighed, "It was someone at the party who betrayed us... He must have investigated our identities secretly and had a huge power."

"You should know the identities of all participants. I will visit you one by one tomorrow and you can find out the truth..."

Zhong Shenxiu said casually.

"Yes, your ability?" Julie was still very amazed when she mentioned this.

“I’m already an ‘upgrader’.”

Zhong Shenxiu answered casually, and saw Julie's frightened expression just by accident.

...

The next day, night.

"I have visited several people during the day. The butcher has died. The detective has long since passed away. The white cat is gone and he is not a painter..."

Zhong Shenxiu wore an evening dress and a silver half mask, and came to a manor with Julie: "So... it's a jazz?!"

"His true identity is Slater, the son of the big banker...he is very influential in the upper class of Byron."

Julie sighed: "At the beginning, he used his background to give us great help to the party, and there was no conflict of interest. I couldn't think of the reason for his betrayal..."

"Sometimes, betrayal is not necessarily due to interests, but also because of fear!"

Zhong Shenxiu sighed and walked into the manor.

He didn't say that he seemed to smell the breath of death.

The whole manor was very quiet, not even a guard or maid guarding the gate.

Zhong Shenxiu and Julie walked into the deepest part of the manor with a swagger.

"What's going on?"

Julie walked on the scarlet carpet in the corridor, looking at the precious oil paintings and art decorations on both sides, her voice trembling a little.

"Probably... they are all dead?"

Zhong Shenxiu sighed and pushed open a door according to spiritual sensing.

This is a study room with quiet surroundings and cold moonlight.

In the silence, a hoarse and low voice suddenly sounded: "Are you here?"

Julie turned around and saw Slater sitting behind the desk.

He is tall, handsome, and has curly golden hair.

"Sir, why do you betray me and us?!"

Julie asked coldly.

"Because of fear...that woman is a lunatic!"

Slater's expression suddenly collapsed: "Did you see it? The servants of the entire manor and my relatives... were eaten by her... If I don't try to satisfy her, she will eat me next! I have her ritual power and cannot leave here, so I can only provide her with prey... She likes to eat mysterious people, so I want to find more mysterious people for her... But I have no choice. Who else can I find besides you?"

Two lines of tears flowed down his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was regret or indifferent to his tone.

‘It seems that if the glutton didn’t look for Julie last night, then would he probably come to me? Anyway, the result is almost the same…’

A thought arose in Zhong Shenxiu's mind.

"Excuse for cowards."

Julie's eyes were weeping and she stepped forward.

"Do you want to kill me?"

Slater smiled bitterly and said, "Then please hurry up and do it!"

The breeze blew, lifting his collar.

At this time, Julie was shocked to find that there was a blood-red skeleton below Slater's head!

"What's wrong with you...?"

Julie covered her lips with her hands and took a step back.

"You don't think that woman's greed is nothing more than that?"

Slater laughed bitterly: "Although she let me go, she just let me go...I watched her eat my limbs and my internal organs...but let my head stay active. I can live for about six more days...haha...haha..."

"He's gone crazy."

Zhong Shenxiu looked at this scene and sighed: "If you want to take revenge, let him stay here, waiting for the inevitable death... If you think he is a companion, then send him your last journey."

After saying that, he left the study room, stood in the corridor, and admired an oil painting hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back.

I’m using the book-chasing app I’ve been using recently, which caches reading and reads offline!

After a moment.

A gunshot came from the study!

...

Outside the manor.

Julie and Zhong Shenxiu walked out together.

"Why does a person become like this?" The corners of her eyes were a little red, with confusion.

"The ultimate fear will completely change a person."

Zhong Shenxiu sighed: "Maybe...we never know ourselves. It's not that we really have a critical moment, no one will know what choice we will make, choose to be a hero or a coward!"

"This matter is not that simple. Why did the glutton suddenly come to this city? There is also the death of the watchmaker and the old drunkard before. Their bodies are still there, obviously not Daly's hands!"

Julie suddenly took a deep breath: "I will continue to track down."

She looked at Zhong Shenxiu with anticipation, but found that the other party had not answered for a long time, and the light in her eyes could not help but slowly fade away.

"I'm just a person who runs an underground bar..."

Zhong Shenxiu said helplessly: "And...I have something to do recently."

The old drunkard and the watchmaker are not familiar with him, so they have no obligation to avenge each other.

Moreover, it is too troublesome to investigate the case.

"I was rude."

Julie sighed.

"The Wuhen Bookstore is no longer safe. During the period when you are pursuing, you can live in a bar..."

Zhong Shenxiu thought about it and found that Julie had a good relationship and should be protected.

"I feel your attitude is a bit negative..."

Julie stared at Zhong Shenxiu suspiciously: "What are you waiting for?"

"Nothing, you're thinking too much..."

Zhong Shenxiu shrugged and the two returned to the Whisperer Bar together.

The bar business is a bit deserted today, with only one person sitting on the bar counter.

It's Angel!

"Levi!"

When she saw Zhong Shenxiu coming in, she immediately waved her hand excitedly: "Give me a cocktail you made by yourself."

"Okay, no problem."

Zhong Shenxiu walked into the bar with a smile and took the tool from Smith: "It seems that you are in a good mood recently."

"Yeah, maybe I'll be able to catch up with Alice soon."
