Shadow of the Beautiful World

Life is always so unreasonable sometimes, bad things always happen one after another without winking.

But life itself is a bitch, it likes to make such nasty jokes, it is not afraid of anyone's revenge, no one can grab life's collar and give it two punches.

So it has nothing to fear.

Woohoo

Viktor, the spirit of the raven, flapped his wings and quickly swept down in the wind, like a preying falcon. After gliding for more than ten seconds, it landed smoothly on Merlin's raised right arm.

Merlin was standing on the roof of a brightly lit nightclub at this moment. He stretched out his fingers and stroked the feathers on Victor's phantom head.

The guardian spirit seemed to enjoy this magical touch, it tilted its head, and called twice to its master.

I know I know.

Merlin could understand the meaning of the raven's cry, he tapped the guardian spirit's head, and said softly:

We're right here, aren't we?

Merlin, who was wearing a windbreaker, turned his head to look at the nightclub below. The business here is very good, and it can be called a bustling traffic in this early morning. Pleasure-seeking men and women walk into this sordid place with flattering and lustful laughter.

What they long for is an instinctive pleasure of the soul.

A kind of low taste.

Oh, it's nice to be a mouse these days.

Merlin sighed, and whispered to his guardian spirit:

The rats just need to mind their own business, looking for food in the garbage, digging through rotten fruit and so on. It's not like me, at this time when I should be sleeping, running around to catch these dirty things. rats going to hell

Woohoo

Of course Victor couldn't understand what his master said, but he could understand Merlin's intentions. It opened its arms, and under Merlin's gaze, it began to fly around the nightclub at low altitude.

Ordinary people cannot see the guardian spirit, but tonight, in this building, those who can see Victor will be regarded as prey by the raven spirit.

It is a spiritual body condensed by the call god guard, and it has extremely high lethality against any creature full of dark magic power.

Good at dealing with dementors, that's just one of the characteristics of the calling god guard, but not all.

In the early morning of this late night, Merlin was in the neon lights of the nightclub, he stretched out his hands and spread his arms, the next moment, Merlin seemed to commit suicide, his whole body fell forward.

In this June, in the slightly scorching wind, Merlin's windbreaker fluttered as he fell, and the speed of his fall became faster and faster, and the oncoming cold wind blew his hair time, until the moment it is about to approach the ground.

boom

Merlin's figure suddenly turned into a cloud of black smoke, and with a silent gesture, he walked along the open door of the nightclub and stepped into it.

A life suspected to be Little Peter was placed in a certain room on the top floor of this nightclub.

Of course, beside him, there were those disgusting children of the night who exuded the breath of blood all over their bodies. Those vampires probably wouldn't be so magnanimous, allowing Merlin to take away his kidnapped little nephew smoothly.

And Merlin, who was in a bad mood, didn't even intend to smile and send the group of vampires who dared to kidnap his relatives away.

so sorry

There was no need to talk about this matter from the beginning.

Merlin was wearing a shadow cloak, and he didn't disturb anyone along the way. He walked in this building full of melodious sounds, took the elevator, and arrived at the 12th floor with a calm face.

The three floors up from here are all controlled by vampires.

Ding

The elevator opened, and a girl who was in a daze in his arms was leaning against the wall and kissing me. The male vampire subconsciously turned around and saw that the elevator opened, but there was no one in it.

Shet!

The vampire cursed:

Who is so boring?

In this human form, the handsome guy turned his head and didn't intend to pay attention to that bad prank.

The little beauty in its arms is already fascinated by the vampire's natural charm, and it wants to enjoy the life it deserves tonight.

But at the moment when he stretched out his claws ready to move, a magical power like a dark tentacles appeared from behind silently, like a snake, and in the next moment, it crazily strangled its neck.

Well

The attacked vampire let go of the girl in his arms. Its hands turned into claws shining with blood, and it grabbed at the back fiercely in a posture like a broken bone, but it was in vain.

It can feel that a strange person has appeared behind it, but it just can't catch him.

The magic power wrapped around the neck is getting heavier and heavier, which seems to represent the coming of eternal sorrow.

At this moment, the vampire's head looked back with difficulty. The face that had become a prototype of a vampire had a ferocious expression, just like a night monster. Its eyes were full of unwillingness, and his head turned almost 180° in a strange posture. , and at the last moment of its cursed life, it saw

It's a pair of burning eyes.

The teeth-stinging, neck-breaking sound resounded in this luxuriously decorated aisle.

Merlin looked at the vampire whose neck had been cut off in front of him, his eyes were full of disgust.

This kind of cursed life is also life, they are much stronger than ordinary people, but they are not invincible.

The self-healing ability of vampires is very strong, they can indeed recover from injuries by absorbing blood, but for such a low-level vampire, when the neck bone is completely cut off, it can only die with hatred.

Merlin ignored the body that fell on the ground. He squatted down and looked at the young girl who was curled up in a corner, deeply trapped in the vampire's charm. He stretched out his left hand and touched it lightly. Girl painted face with heavy makeup.

The moment the black glove with five small fluorescent stones inlaid on the back of the hand touched the girl's cheek, the bewitched girl seemed to remember the most disgusting and frightening thing in her short life. Just like the same thing, she let out a rapid scream, and the whole person woke up from the seductive state.

She was just an ordinary person, facing the Dementor's Kiss on Merlin's hand, she had no ability to resist at all.

Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she looked around as if waking up from a dream. When she saw the hideous vampire's corpse, she shrank back in fear.

Then she saw Merlin squatting in front of her with a strange mask on her face.

Girl, aren't you going to school today?

Merlin looked at her and said sarcastically:

Your new boyfriend has a date with Death, don't bother him.

After finishing speaking, Merlin ignored her. He stood up, stretched out his hands to straighten the black gloves on both hands, then took out the silver hand crossbow from the pocket of the windbreaker, flicked it lightly with the other hand, and A hand cannon with an exaggerated and weird shape appeared in the palm of his hand.

Under the horrified gaze of the girl, Merlin moved his shoulders and kicked the door of the house next to her. Amidst a loud noise, the volley of hand crossbows and energy cannons, panic came from the house. The suppressed screams, as well as the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart, sounded like the noisiest sound in the aisle of this nightclub.

The trembling girl covering her head with her hands could still clearly hear Merlin's absolutely indifferent hello amidst the scalp-numbing noise.

surprise! motherfuk!!!

A few seconds later, Merlin with a calm face came out of the house. There were bloody footprints one after another behind him, and there were some black ashes floating behind him.

He held a crossbow, tilted his head, looked at the girl in the corner, and said:

Go home, tonight, there is a party here that you can't attend.

Under the girl's sluggish gaze, the door on the other side was also kicked open by Merlin, and the same sound as just now rang out in that house again. It's like a symphony mixed with piercing screams, climaxing when the sound comes out, and then calming down a few seconds later.

Amid the increasingly thick and pungent smell of blood, the girl felt that she could no longer stay here.

She was just a 16-year-old ordinary girl who came out to find excitement. Everything that happened in front of her eyes had exceeded the limit that her fragile heart could bear.

She stood up with weak legs, rushed to the elevator not far in front of her, and frantically pressed the button of the elevator.

Ding

After waiting like hell for a few seconds, the elevator door opened in front of her eyes, and she rushed into it like crazy, as if returning to the world.

And at the moment when the elevator door closed, she saw Merlin standing in the aisle, that person, that weird person, was waving goodbye to her in a friendly way.

And on the floor behind him, the dazzling blood flowed out bit by bit from the room filled with death and strange ashes.

That scene is very similar to the scenes in those classic thrillers.

The girl let out a terrified scream, and she closed her eyes, not daring to look at it any more.

Ding

The elevator door closed the next moment, and the girl with heavy make-up also sat weakly in the corner of the elevator.

Harley Quinn, that was just a dream, there are no vampires in this world! It doesn't matter, just be strong.

The girl held her head weakly, and said to herself:

Harry, you're a strong girl, you'll get through it

Damn! Mom is right! New York is such a crazy place, I want to get out of here! Even Gotham, which is like shit, is 10,000 times better than here!

This is not for me, I'm leaving, I'm going back to Gotham tomorrow, no! Tonight!

—

boom

Ten minutes later, the door to the room on the top floor of the nightclub was kicked open.

Merlin walked in with a crossbow in hand. The corners of his black windbreaker were accidentally stained with blood, which made him smell bloody, which made Merlin slightly uncomfortable.

He felt that he should go to Diagon Alley again and order a set of clothes that would not get dirty from Madam Malkin.

Although he was doing a life-threatening job, he actually didn't like getting blood on his hands.

In front of Merlin, several vampires, male and female, who were waiting in battle, screamed and turned into blood shadows at the same time the door was kicked open, and rushed towards Merlin.

The horrific massacre that happened in the past ten minutes just now couldn't be hidden from them. They were having fun and sent people down to check and support them, but those vampires sent out, no matter pure blood or half vampire, seemed to be invested Like stones in the water, no news came back at all.

It must be a scary guy coming.

Maybe it's the vampire hunters who are rumored to hunt vampires for fun.

If possible, these life-saving guys would never stay in this house waiting to die, but the problem is, the God-calling guard Victor who hovered in the sky outside the nightclub would not let them go so easily.

Vampires run very fast and can shuttle back and forth between buildings, but compared to spirit bodies like Victor, the running speed of these low-level vampires who have not grown bat wings is like crawling snails up.

The few guys who rushed out to escape just now howled and covered their eyes. The fate of falling from a high altitude really scared these low-level vampires.

They have nowhere to go, they can only stay here to die.

or

They can actually fight to the death and try to fight back?

No matter how strong that vampire hunter is, under the combined attack of seven vampires, he will always be in a hurry, so that they have a chance to escape, even if one can escape!

They think so, and they do so.

The moment Merlin walked into the room, seven pure blood vampires screamed and rushed towards the seemingly unprepared Merlin from all directions. At this desperate moment, they no longer hold back their hands, and have resorted to the most pressing force. They are ferocious, no longer disguised, ugly and evil, just like the legendary hell monsters.

They howled sharply, like thousands of ghosts crying, and the negative energy surging around them dropped the temperature in the room by several degrees.

In front of them, Merlin seemed to have nowhere to hide.

In the next moment, he will be completely torn apart by the swarming vampires.

impedimento! (impedimento)

At this moment, in the ears of those vampires, Merlin's slightly hoarse and deep voice sounded under the mask. Amidst the surge of dark magic power, an invisible barrier appeared beside Merlin.

boom

Without exception, the low-level vampires bumped into the invisible magic barrier, as if hitting a wall head-on.

Their attack has not yet begun

It's over.

The surging black mist around Merlin was like the tentacles of an octopus hunting for prey. The next moment, it wrapped around the necks of the seven vampires, lifting them into the air, and the surging heavy magic power pressed down on their bodies. They couldn't move at all.

Merlin looked at the 7 low-level vampires with fear in their eyes. He shook his head and walked into the room. On the bed in the bedroom in the back room, he saw little Peter sleeping soundly.

Those vampires didn't hurt him.

Only then did Merlin breathe a sigh of relief.

He gently stretched out his hand and hugged the child in his arms. This action woke Peter who was sleeping. The child rubbed his eyes and raised his head. When he saw Merlin who understood the mask, he immediately let out a scream of joy.

Uncle Merlin!

good.

Merlin hugged his little nephew with a smile all over his face. He covered Peter's ears, and then moved his fingers lightly.

The holy silver nails in his pocket flew out of the bedroom under the control of gravity, and a few inaudible piercing sounds suddenly sounded.

Merlin hugged little Peter, and he whispered:

Go on to sleep, little Peter. Uncle will take you home soon, will you?

Hungry.

The child pouted and said to Merlin:

I want to eat, I want ice cream.

Hehe, okay, let's go eat ice cream in a while.

Merlin carried Peter out of the bedroom. He stretched out his hand and cast a sleeping spell on his nephew. He didn't want little Peter to see this scene. He raised his head and looked at the last female vampire who was still alive and was hung in the air. He and the vampire whose will was completely defeated by fear said softly:

I'm in a hurry, so tell me, ma'am, everything I want to know.

Quinn told us to do it!

The female vampire screamed, with snot and tears streaming down her face. She was just a half-vampire who was given glory because of her outstanding beauty. Before becoming a vampire, she was just a punk. When had she ever seen such a scene before her.

She said it all:

Quinn took a 'job' from his friend, and the other party paid a lot of money to let Quinn kidnap the child. That's all I know, I didn't participate, I didn't

click

Amidst the crisp sound of the blade cutting, the female vampire's begging for mercy stopped abruptly.

The expressionless Merlin carried little Peter across the burning body on the ground, and he left the place filled with death without looking back. He said softly:

In this world, even scum is useful. But worse than scum are those who strive to be scum

Is it Quinn?

Very well, I'll 'visit' it.
