Chapter 113: Brenna's Bedroom

Very good, now Lucy is also a Second-tier Transcendent.

Counting Yun Mu, and the Scarlet Knight.

On their side, they have a full three Second-tier Transcendents, which is on par with Father Yehua and the two Night Watchmen.

However, the other party has not discovered her yet; if she initiates the Touxixi first, the advantage in this wave is mine!

"Hmph!"

With a disdainful smile curling the corner of her mouth, Yun Mu tucked one hand into her pocket, lowered her head, and instantly summoned the Painting 【Falling】 from its Ether Body state.

The thick Black Fog wrapped around the entire alley almost instantly.

"What!?"

Father Yehua was startled by the suddenly appearing Black Fog, and he hurriedly reached out to touch the Codex at his waist.

It is unknown what he did, but the moment the Codex opened, the originally thick Black Fog dissipated quite a bit.

The Father and the two Night Watchmen, who should have had their Perception shielded, instantly gathered together, looking around vigilantly at the Black Fog surrounding them.

However, if they think they are safe just because of this, they are thinking too simply!

Yun Mu raised her hand and greeted Father Yehua with a Mental Shock.

"Bang!!"

The Mental Shock seemed to collide with some kind of protective barrier.

Accompanied by a muffled groan, Father Yehua clutched his head in pain, and bright red blood even flowed from his nasal cavity.

For this strike, Yun Mu had deliberately lowered the output power; after all, she wanted to capture people, not beat them to death directly.

She hadn't expected the other party to have an ability similar to mental protection; her strike hadn't even pierced through the other party's protective barrier.

But looking at his current state, the effect wasn't bad either.

"There's a spellcaster!"

Seeing this, both Night Watchmen were shocked and hurriedly protected Father Yehua behind them, one on the left and one on the right.

However, just at this moment, a chestnut covered in prickles rolled to their side.

It was a Chestnut Bomb! "Boom!"

The violent explosion instantly blew one Night Watchman to the ground, and Yehua, who was being protected behind them, was also knocked down by the intense impact.

As for the only Night Watchman still standing, before he could recover from the roar of the explosion, an elbow covered in heavy armor slammed into his head!

"Bang!"

The Night Watchman instantly fainted to the ground.

The Scarlet Knight, clad in full plate armor, walked out of the Black Fog and turned his gaze toward the other Night Watchman who hadn't fainted yet.

Without a word, the Night Watchman did a kip-up from the ground, brandished the iron rod in his hand, and swung it toward the Scarlet Knight!

However, the daytime Night Watchman was ultimately too weak; the Scarlet Knight didn't even intend to dodge, letting the iron rod strike his arm, and then, he swung a punch with force! "Bang!!"

The Night Watchman, covered in armor, was hit in the chest by the Scarlet Knight's heavy, powerful punch, and his body instantly flew out of the alley!

He landed on the street outside the alley, kicked his legs, and became unconscious.

"Done!"

Retracting the Black Fog of 【Falling】, Yun Mu knocked Father Yehua unconscious with one final Mental Shock.

She then threw him into the Captain's cabin of the Cold Crow to be close to the Steam Mecha, and quickly left the area.

Hailing a Steam Taxi at random, she rushed back to Sisilaiya Cafe.

Edward and Lita were not at home at this time.

Yun Mu went into her room, packed up all the items needed for Painting, and then took a blank card from her bosom.

It was almost foreseeable that, barring any accidents, she would most likely be wanted by the authorities of Frostfall City.

As for what the charges would be, she would know when the wanted notice was issued.

She could no longer live at Sisilaiya Cafe; after all, the Church and the people from the Guard Hall certainly knew very well where she usually lived.

People who knew her might be affected, but this influence shouldn't be too serious.

Time was tight; Yun Mu sealed all the packed Painting supplies into the small card in her hand and carefully placed it in the inner lining of her coat.

Then she took out a slip of paper and used a steel pen to write down what she wanted to say to Edward.

First, of course, was an apology regarding her concealing the fact that she was a Bloodline.

Plans could not keep up with changes; the Church's actions had undoubtedly exposed her identity as a Bloodline, so now that things had come to this, she had nothing left to hide. She wrote down at length everything she had encountered since crossing over, including the Dried Corpse Murder Case, the Scarlet, and the matters regarding Natavia.

Then she repeated the information she had grasped and inferred.

Finally, she told Edward that if he still wanted to continue the investigation, he could go find Brenna at Frost Bank after six o'clock tomorrow evening.

She would likely be there too.

Returning to the first floor of Sisilaiya Cafe, Yun Mu hid the note in the cash register and left without looking back.

Hailing a Steam Taxi, Yun Mu arrived at Frost Bank.

It was not yet closing time for the bank, and the bank's Gate was real, not a Hallucination.

She reached out and pulled open the door of Frost Bank, seeing the Bionic Doll sitting behind the counter at a glance.

"Welcome, is there anything you need help with?" the Bionic Doll asked her with a smile.

"I am not a guest; I am here to find Brenna." Hearing the Bionic Doll's words, Yun Mu said.

She didn't know how this doll would react.

"The Master is resting on the second floor, please..."

Before the Bionic Doll could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from the stairs leading to the second floor of Frost Bank.

"Let her come over." Brenna stood at the top of the stairs and said.

"Command accepted, please enter." Hearing Brenna's words, the Bionic Doll extended its left hand and said.

"Thank you."

After offering her habitual thanks, Yun Mu followed Brenna up the stairs to the second floor of Frost Bank.

"Um..."

"Shh."

Yun Mu wanted to take this opportunity to say something to Brenna, but no sooner had she opened her mouth than the other party turned around and gave her a look to be quiet.

With no other choice, she had to shut her mouth for the time being.

After walking behind Brenna for a while, the other party led her into a room that was clearly a bedroom.

A large pink bed was placed in the corner of the room, and to the right of the wooden bed was a bedside table with four drawers.

On top of the bedside table sat an electric lamp imported from the Helier Empire, featuring delicate iris patterns.

Opposite the bedside table was a massive wardrobe carved from birch wood.

Beside the wardrobe was a huge bookshelf made of cedar, a dark red desk, and a wooden chair that looked very comfortable, with a seat cushion made of genuine leather stuffed with wool.

On the floor of the room lay a hand-woven cotton rug, featuring a brightly colored design of an eagle with its wings spread wide.

Above the eagle's beak were scattered mechanical parts, which looked to be Brenna's handiwork.

"They can't hear us in here," Brenna said with a soft laugh as she closed the bedroom door.

She looked at Yun Mu and said something shocking: "Don't worry, I guessed long ago that your identity as a Bloodline would be discovered by the Church."

PS: Regarding the new synopsis.

—"The Scarlet flows in my blood, so I must become His minion; when the waning Scarlet moon hangs high in the sky, no one can escape the revolution."

—Excerpt from "Scarlet Rebellion"

In her past life, Yun Mu was an erotic artist who transmigrated into this world where steam engines roar.

She became a beggar living in the sewers, struggling to survive from day to day.

And due to an accident, she was infected with the Scarlet Curse.

In order to survive, she had to explore this strange and mysterious world. 【Roguelike】 【Cultivation】

【It should count as a simulation management game that is a simulation management game】

【It might be a daily life that is a daily life】

【Female Protagonist】

Starting as a nameless beggar living in the sewers, gradually become a big shot whose name resounds throughout the world! —Damn it, I felt like one character in the synopsis last week was redundant, so I deleted it, which caused the function to modify the synopsis to be on cooldown now.

I have to wait until next week to modify it.

So infuriating!
