Immediately afterwards, the coin was bounced high and swirled in the air. In the next second, a small teleportation circle appeared under the coin, and the coin disappeared instantly when it fell into it.

"A group of cowards." The woman spat, as if she was very disgusted with the other party's behavior of shrinking inside.

Suddenly, a slight numbness came from her ring. She looked down, and there was a small spot of light on the black gem-like surface of the ring.

There is a golem, approaching.

She looked outside in the shadows, and soon among the bustling crowd, she saw a tall and thin figure who was impressively tall and covered in a dark green robe.

"Golem? Do you still dare to investigate?"

The woman's patience has long been exhausted, and she, who is a dignified fourth-order [Hunter], was actually ordered to stay in this place, which made her mood drop to a freezing point.

So, after confirming that it was the golem who acted, she found a throwing knife emitting silver light in her hand.

The flying knife was flying skillfully in her hand like a nimble butterfly.

She concentrated for a moment, flicked her right hand seemingly casually, and the flying knife wrapped in a black breath drew a black line, and flew in front of the puppet in an instant.

"when--"

This flying knife with an extraordinary aura, which was completely unnoticed by others, did not directly penetrate the puppet's head as she thought in the script, and then was recovered by herself.

Instead, it hit an object of the same material, making a crisp crashing sound.

Is...a...throwing knife? !

She slowly opened her eyes wide.

If she read it correctly, it was a spinning flying knife, which flew past the golem at an extremely fast speed, precisely circled the golem's head, and held her flying knife with the tip of the knife. Knife, bounce her throwing knife away.

How terrifying is this accuracy?

Even among the few [Hunters] who are good at using flying knives, she has never seen such a terrifying way of manipulating flying knives.

But there was no time to shock her. Before the two flying knives collided and fell, a faster flying knife flew towards her with the sound of breaking wind.

When the flying knife entered the shadow where the [Hunter] was, it had already disappeared in the eyes of outsiders.

The silver blade missed her by a hair, but she reacted in time and turned her head slightly.

The silver blade was almost attached to her cheek, sinking deeply into the wall next to her.

The wind carried by the blade left a small scratch on her face, and at the same time, a faster black shadow flashed before her eyes.

what? !

Not an opponent...... Withdraw!

She gave up the desire to resist almost instantly, black smoke was emitting from her whole body, and her whole body was slowly disappearing.

There is already an enchantment she has set up in this small gap, so she doesn't have to worry about her dark night sneaking being discovered by others.

But at the moment when the stealth was about to be completed, she suddenly saw that the shadow beneath her had been covered by a deeper shadow.

The shadows caused by the street lamps slanting in from outside, the shadows caused by the enchantment, and the extreme blackness shrouded behind him formed four distinct colors on the ground.

The last black is so pure that nothing can be seen at all. This cannot be the color that exists in nature.

There is some kind of behemoth behind him...

Before she could look back, a huge hand stretched out from behind.

The skeleton-like knuckles were slightly bent, covering her head, as if holding a toy.

An indescribable fear instantly came to her heart.

Unable to even make a cry, she felt that her head was being held by a big hand, and it was constantly being dragged backwards, as if it was going to drag her into an abyss.

She pulled out a flying knife in a panic, and tried hard to pry open the palm that bound her head like a shackle, but the flying knife couldn't hurt the palm in the slightest.

Even the bandage-like cloth with inscriptions wrapped around it couldn't be broken.

Just like that, she was like a drowning person in a busy city, she could only look at the lights outside and the people walking, but she was gradually dragged further and further away by something.

"Endless Fear"

"Welcome to my world."

A hoarse voice sounded behind her, and in an instant, the whole world was enveloped in darkness.

I don't know if it was a year, a century, or just a second, this dark world collapsed.

"Are you all right, Rachel?"

After hearing a familiar call, she opened her eyes instantly and let out a heavy inhalation sound.

"Ho-"

The sound was like that of a person who had been deprived of oxygen for a long time, and the woman named Rachel was greedily breathing in the fresh air.

When Rachel's eyes gradually focused, the world in front of her gradually became clearer, and the people in front of her gradually regained their color.

"Liv..." Rachel looked at the woman squatting in front of her in disbelief. She propped herself up and looked around.

Myself...still in the dark alley area.

Even still in the gap between the two houses.

The whirling flying knife, the deadly silver blade, and that terrifying giant hand all seemed like a nightmare, disappearing upon waking up.

Rachel looked towards the corner on the right, where the throwing knives thrown from the opposite side had not entered.

But now, there are no throwing knives there, and the brick in the corner is still standing there, intact.

Rachel touched her right cheek, which was as smooth as before, without any cut marks.

"Is it...a dream?" Rachel stared blankly at Liv in front of her, her beating heart finally slowed down.

"What's wrong with you? Rachel." Liv pulled Rachel to stand up, and said in a reproachful tone, "After you called for backup, the Earl sent me over, but when I arrived, I found you sleeping here Dajue?"

"I... am sleeping?" Rachel stood up, and after hearing what Liv said, she didn't feel worried about the punishment she might receive if the mission failed, but breathed a sigh of relief.

Dream...fortunately it's a dream...

"Where's the mission target? Have you already left?" Rachel who came back looked at Liv and asked.

Liv shook her head and said:

"No, it should still be inside. I didn't see anyone coming out of it when I was outside just now."

"That's good..." Rachel shook her head and said, "Then you stay here for a while, and I'll deal with them."

It may be because of the dream just now, Rachel is panicking now, she just wants to finish this mission quickly and go back quickly.

"Be safe, Rachel." Liv patted Rachel on the shoulder and said.

"Well, you too." Rachel nodded, feeling a little warmth in her heart.

In the Military Intelligence [-] where everyone is abnormal, only Liv can communicate with her normally like a friend, and they are also the most famous mission partners of the Military Intelligence [-].

With Liv as her backing, Rachel's heart was a little calmer.

She bypassed Liv, walked out of the shadow barrier, and came to the street.

There are still many people on the street, and there is only a fragment of a puppet on the ground. All signs indicate that it was really just a dream.

"Really... I was so scared because of a nightmare..." Rachel shook her head with a smile, pulled up her hood, and walked towards the interior of the dark alley area went.

There is only one passage from the upper dark alley area to the second underground floor. Rachel walked along this road, but she faintly sensed something was wrong.

Isn't it... too peaceful here?

I... didn't I put a bottle of ground fire potion here?

How could there be no church personnel gathered to maintain order and check the surrounding shops?

Soon, after turning a corner, Rachel saw at the end the shop where she had just placed ground gunpowder.

The store is still operating well.

This scene made Rachel's eyes widen in an instant. She stopped in place and looked at the shop in front of her in disbelief.

She clearly watched the shop explode with her own eyes, and then the flames completely engulfed passers-by and the investigator who survived.

But now, the explosion didn't happen?

Dream? !

Rachel instantly became alert. She hesitated for a while, but refused to go forward.

The Transcendents around began to cast curious glances at the woman who was hesitating in place, which made Rachel stop her somewhat sickly movement.

Gotta go see what's going on.

Rachel thought so, and began to walk slowly forward cautiously.

When she walked to the front and back of the shop door and put her hand on the door, her own spirituality suddenly frantically issued a warning.

"Boom—"

"Ho-"

Rachel was awakened in an instant, and she sat up from the bed in an instant, looking at everything in front of her in astonishment.

"My... room?" Rachel murmured.

The violent explosion, the green flames, and the ever-increasing fear in her heart made her mentally tense as if it was just the last second.

But now...he actually appeared in his room?

Everything looks very normal, the morning sun shines on my bed, making everything look so leisurely and relaxed.

But Rachel couldn't relax at all.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which made the tense Rachel instantly alert.

"Who?" Rachel instantly turned over on the bed and stood up, putting on a fighting posture and looking towards the door.

The door was slowly opened, and Liv's figure in pajamas appeared beside the door.

"Rachel? What are you doing?" Liv looked at Rachel in confusion and asked, "Didn't you say that Earl Elizabeth sent you to assist that Angus today? It seems to be executing someone who sabotaged the Earl's plan." people?"

"Assist... Angus? Angus isn't..." Rachel opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.

Angus, didn't he become a monster and die?The symptoms looked like the backlash of the potion, but more serious.
