Chapter 3531

In the dim, dark alley, with faint streetlamp light shining in from the street, a little girl aged twelve or thirteen made a gesture of surrender. Even though her mother had always taught her to maintain the elegance of a lady at all times, with her life now at stake, elegance had to be set aside for a moment.

"Zayas's daughter?"

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand rested against the neck of the little girl in front of him. He would not believe the other party's identity just because of a single sentence. Besides, the Old God faction was extremely sinister; one could not judge age by appearance.

"Yes, my name is Yelo Ilia, I'm 12 years old this year. My father is Zayas, my mother is Ona, and my grandmother is... I can't say."

Yelo Ilia was very sensible. Clearly, her grandmother was a super ruthless person whose name could not be spoken lightly.

Yelo Ilia exhaled slowly, gradually recovering her usual slightly sluggish elegance. Her visit this time was both a trial and a chance to gain experience.

Given the family education of Zayas's household, they clearly would not allow their child to become a flower in a greenhouse. In a previous family meeting, Zayas and his wife had once agreed that since Ilia was already 12, she should go to other worlds alone to see the world.

Considering the child's safety, Yelo Ilia's grandmother did not send her to a Ninth Tier world to gain experience, but instead let her come to the Gloom World to deliver a letter.

After Ilia entered this world, she used a divination item to determine Su Xiao's approximate location and thus found him.

Her grandmother was not worried about this; it was just delivering a letter. Even if the Gloom Continent was not peaceful, the High Wall City had been very stable in recent years.

Unlike Ilia's grandmother, Zayas and Ona were particularly worried. Ona worried that Ilia would encounter bad people outside, while Zayas worried that his daughter would be slashed the moment she met Su Xiao, before she could even speak.

As one of Su Xiao's "good teammates," Zayas knew very well Su Xiao's ability to hunt Old Gods and his attitude toward non-allied Old God factions. Precisely because of this, before Ilia left, Zayas instructed her multiple times that if she suddenly sensed spatial fluctuations or saw blood-colored or blue electric arcs ahead, she should immediately shout, "Zayas is my dad." Facts proved that this preemptive "shouting dad" tactic was indeed useful.

"The letter."

Ilia took out a black letter sealed with red grease. At first glance, it looked like nothing, but if one stared closely, one would find that the red grease was actually small worms gathered together. If skin touched it, these "Marrow-Parasite Worms" would invade the body and eventually drill into the brain, causing madness and death.

Zayas certainly did not intend to trap Su Xiao. The three had previously agreed that if they needed to contact each other, they would use their respective methods as identifiers. Su Xiao's was "Alchemical Deadly Poison," Zayas and Ona's representative items were the "Time Seal" and "Marrow-Parasite Worms," and Wood's was the "Evil Curse," all representing their identities.

Ilia handed over the letter with both hands, politely lowering her head slightly. Seeing this, Su Xiao took it and produced a piece of fresh meat. After bringing it close to the red grease seal, worms as thin as ox hair drilled into the fresh meat, and the red grease seal gradually disappeared.

After discarding the fresh meat and taking the letter out of the envelope, Su Xiao sat on the steps beside the alley and began to translate the content of the letter. Zayas used the Old God language.

Seeing this, Ilia stood quietly to the side to wait. Her upbringing was quite good. Looking at her features, Ilia inherited more of Ona's looks.

The content of the letter was substantial. First, the Meteorite Star side also knew that a Black Maple Tree seed had appeared in the Dead Silence City. After being widely sold by intelligence merchants from several paradises, numerous factions in the Void and the Transcendental Native Worlds all knew about this matter.

On both sides, those with the means would likely enter the fray. Su Xiao estimated that the Arcane Eternal Star would very likely participate. Although they already had one Black Maple Tree, they would never miss the opportunity to seize a seed.

Precisely because they already had a Black Maple Tree, the Arcane Eternal Star was more willing to spend heavily on this. Currently, there were three known Black Maple Trees: the Abyss Dragon Bottom, the Black Abyss, and finally, the Arcane Eternal Star.

As for the first two, the Abyss Dragon acted entirely based on mood, so it would not release a large amount of Black Maple Tree output. The Blade Demon was even more so; others, besides stealing, had no way to obtain Black Maple Tree output from there. Moreover, most of the Blade Demon's Black Maple Tree output was traded away by the few people at the Empty Seat Banquet.

Therefore, looking at the entire Void—no, looking at all the realms—the only one that could stably provide Black Maple Tree output was the Arcane Eternal Star.

Come to think of it, Su Xiao should even thank the Arcane Eternal Star. They had operated for so many years to raise the value of the Black Maple Tree to this extent. Of course, this also had to do with the Black Maple Tree's own powerful characteristics.

Right now, a Black Maple Tree seed was about to emerge. The Arcane Eternal Star's attitude was certainly that they might not plant it, or even destroy the seed, but they must never let others grow it.

If the growth environment was suitable and they could obtain a large amount of World Core Fragments to serve as nutrients for the Black Maple Tree seedling, the tree would not take thousands of years to grow.

Once a second source of Black Maple Tree output appeared, it would inevitably form a competitive relationship with the Arcane Eternal Star. If both sides could not reach an agreement, the price of subsequent Black Maple Tree output would inevitably decrease, and the Arcane Eternal Star's years of operation would have been in vain.

Regarding this point, the Void Overlord, Arcane Eternal Star, would not sit idly by. They had even made their stance known in the Void. Usually, what other Void factions did was irrelevant, but this matter involved one of the Arcane Eternal Star's greatest interests over the years. Their subtext was that other Void factions should try to restrain themselves, and they would show their appreciation later.

The Arcane Eternal Star had already spoken so tactfully. Given their overall powerful combat strength, other Void factions had to give them face. Even the Demon race and the Feather race tacitly agreed not to participate in this matter.

Of course, among the many in the Void, there was an exception: the Devil race. In recent years, the Devil race had significantly declined due to being plagued by "Daddy-tier" items, but those old devils truly feared no one. Even against the Arcane Eternal Star, it was the same. The Devil race's attitude was: "How about we send our 'Wild Daddy' to stay with you for a few days?"

It was precisely under the influence of several old devils that Wood, who was from the Void, did not care about the hostility of the Arcane Eternal Star and frequently interacted with Su Xiao, who was a Law-Breaker.

Su Xiao estimated that the Arcane Eternal Star had very likely sent people this time, and the Crow Woman, who was powerful among the Eighth Tier, had also likely come. It might even be the Crow Woman plus a squad of spellcasters coming here.

The reason Zayas had his daughter deliver this letter was that he was certain Su Xiao had definitely come to the Gloom Continent. Actually, this was not hard to guess. Zayas had previously seen Su Xiao use the Dead Silence Ember. With the strong recognizability of the Dead Silence energy and Zayas's knowledge, he had guessed the general situation on the spot.

More importantly, Zayas had time-based abilities. This could be seen from Young Zayas, Old Zayas, etc. The other party's five fingers represented five age stages; the older that guy was, the stronger he became.

This ability was clearly not just time-based but also involved a certain degree of causality. Even more importantly, Su Xiao had previously only vaguely felt that his connection to the Dead Silence City was not simple. It was Zayas who had subtly mentioned that Su Xiao's causality with the Dead Silence City was already extremely strong, and it would be best to take the initiative to resolve it; dragging it out might lead to his death because of it.

Facts proved that Zayas made sense. After arriving in the Gloom World, Su Xiao could feel that faint, lingering call.

Precisely because of this, when the Black Maple Tree seed appeared in the Dead Silence City, Zayas thought of Su Xiao at the first opportunity, and that Su Xiao would take this opportunity to resolve the causality with the Dead Silence City.

To put it more directly, Zayas was already hinting in the letter, asking Su Xiao if this news was something he had stirred up to deliberately lure people to the Dead Silence City as cannon fodder, thereby sharing the pressure.

Why would Zayas guess this? Back in the Tree-Born World, Su Xiao, Wood, Zayas, and Caesar had collaborated on such things. This time, the operational process was the same as that time in the Shell City, so after hearing about this, Zayas had a feeling: "This flavor, why is it so familiar?"

At the end of the letter, Zayas mentioned that Su Xiao should help take care of his daughter for two days, and specifically left a note that his daughter could not eat spicy food.

"So you are Zayas's daughter. An old friend's daughter, I will certainly take care of you."

Su Xiao looked at Ilia, a kind smile appearing on his face.

Seeing Su Xiao smile, Ilia suddenly curled into a ball. That's right, she curled into a ball—this was what her mother had instructed before she left: if that big brother named Bai Ye smiles at you, hurry up and curl into a ball to beg for mercy; it's not shameful.

"I don't have money, and I don't have Soul Crystals. My family is very poor."

Ilia muttered as she spoke.

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak. After a moment, Ilia secretly looked up and, finding that Su Xiao was no longer smiling kindly at her, stood quietly to the side.

Apart from her eyes darting around, Ilia was very well-behaved, completely different from her younger brother. That super brat—Zayas would beat him eight times a day. Although he wasn't big, that arrogant look was carved from the same mold as Zayas when he was young.

It was interesting to note that the brat feared no one, but was particularly afraid of his older sister, Ilia. The brat knew very well that his parents had restraint when beating him, but this sister, who was two years older than him, would truly beat him to death.

Don't look at how well-behaved Ilia appeared now; when beating her brother, she never held back.

"Woof."

Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang's bark came from the alley entrance. Su Xiao hadn't returned to the Treatment Institute to handle other matters; he was just waiting for Xiang Bubu to rendezvous.

Seeing Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang run over, Ilia's eyes brightened a little.

"Woof?"

Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang sized Ilia up, sniffed, and looked suspicious. Ilia's aura was both somewhat familiar and strange to it.

"This is Zayas's daughter."

"Woof."

Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang understood, squatted beside Ilia, and even let out a yawn.

Before long, Amu also arrived, and Baha was perched on its shoulder. The arrival location this time was relatively concentrated, all in the High Wall City, East District.

Only Benny had no news. In the team channel, Benny's avatar was gray, representing that it was not within contact range. This clearly meant it was not in the High Wall City, making one wonder, given Benny's various bizarre starting locations, if it had gone straight to the Dead Silence City.

Just then, a prompt appeared.

【Prompt: The Hunter has successfully arrived at the Gloom Continent and has synchronized with the world identity: Deputy Director of the Treatment Institute.】

【Due to notarization issues, this faction (Healing Church) has no faction shop. If you need to purchase equipment from this world, you must use the world's unique currency, Ancient Gold Coins, to purchase world-specific equipment at the workshop.】

【Prompt: Because this world cannot notarize a faction shop, a balance compensation has been carried out: Notarized Title Shop.】

【All contractors who have joined the four major factions—Healing Church, Steam God Cult, Vadi Family, and High Wall Council—in this world will share the same Title Shop until the titles are redeemed, at which point the Title Shop will close (You can use your brand as a medium to activate the Title Shop at any time; this is a remedial notarization for the partial lack of notarization in this world).】

【If you need to exchange for titles in the Title Shop, you need to consume Ancient Gold Coins.】

【Detected that the Hunter is about to undergo the Ninth Tier promotion assessment trial.】

【You have triggered the first ring of the promotion mission: Survival.】

【Checking the Hunter's vital signs: You did not die from the erosion of Dead Silence, nor from the subsequent poisoning (due to your high abnormal attribute resistance, you successfully exempted yourself from this deadly poison).】

【Your promotion mission first ring: Survival (Completed).】

Seeing this prompt, even Su Xiao couldn't help but have a dark expression. This was no longer just a "severely injured start," but if his poison resistance hadn't been high enough, he wouldn't have even had half a life left, even if he didn't die. Damn, the first ring of the promotion mission "Survival" was already completed—this kind of mission was truly the first time he had seen one.

Su Xiao suddenly understood why, after he chose the Dead Silence City as the Ninth Tier promotion trial world, the Reincarnation Paradise gave a "not recommended" warning that was clearly pointed. He had previously thought that because he was about to promote to the Ninth Tier and his permissions were vastly different from before, he had received a certain degree of humanized warning.

Now it seemed that wasn't the case. The Reincarnation Paradise was still the same old Reincarnation Paradise. The reason it gave that warning prompt was because entering the Gloom Continent while wearing the Black King Armguard would result in being poisoned to death at the start if one's abnormal attribute resistance wasn't high enough. This clearly conflicted with the Paradise faction not issuing impossible missions.

【Your promotion mission second ring: Startling Change (Triggered).】

【Promotion Mission: Startling Change (Second Ring)】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 79.

Mission Brief: Wait for the startling change on the God Sacrifice Day three days later, or before then, investigate the secret behind the startling change on the God Sacrifice Day.

Mission Deadline: Until the end of the God Sacrifice Day.

Mission Reward 1 (Secret behind the God Sacrifice Day startling change not discovered): Shelter Stone × 1.

Mission Reward 2 (Secret behind the God Sacrifice Day startling change discovered): Shelter Stone × 5.

Mission Penalty: This is a connecting mission. Regardless of whether the secret behind the God Sacrifice Day startling change is discovered, the mission will trigger the third ring.

Prompt: Due to the comprehensive danger level of this world, there are no penalties for the subsequent rings of this mission.

Su Xiao ignored the last prompt. No penalty for the mission? That was meaningless. Given the danger level of this world, if the mission failed, he would 99.9% likely die miserably at the same time. Whether there was a mission penalty or not made no difference; it would be more reassuring if there were a forced execution.

The current situation was actually quite interesting. The "Mad Beast" invasion a few hours ago had almost resulted in mutual destruction with the Treatment Institute. The so-called Mad Beast invasion was one of the dangers from outside the city.

Outside the city was a forbidden zone for the living, containing wild beasts and, even more so, Mad Beasts. Note that the wild beasts referred to here were completely different from the wild beasts in the ordinary sense.

Su Xiao had previously suspected that this Mad Beast invasion was planned by the high-level officials of the Healing Church to clear out this batch of old members of the Treatment Institute, allowing this institution to once again become the Healing Church's sword of slaughter.

Actually, even if the Healing Church's high-level officials did this, it was understandable. The best ending for this batch of old members of the Treatment Institute was to die in battle.

But there was one point: Su Xiao's current identity was one of the two strongest combat forces of the Healing Church. Calling him a "Daddy-tier" thigh was no exaggeration; otherwise, how would he have the ability to kill six consecutive directors?

As long as those old guys at the top still had a shred of sanity, they wouldn't try to trap such a "Daddy-tier" thigh. Otherwise, when the original owner of this identity was severely injured and unconscious before, those high-level officials wouldn't have been so nervous, almost ignoring the situation to come and see for themselves.

In the alley, the midsummer night breeze blew gently, making one feel very comfortable. Su Xiao lit a cigarette. Although he hadn't learned much about this world yet, his experience from roaming various worlds allowed him to judge one thing.

The Mad Beast attack event from a few hours ago could only have been prepared by a few parties, summarized as follows:

1. Steam God Cult: They had been terrified of the Treatment Institute—this powder keg—for more than a day or two. Moreover, they had always wanted to participate in the handling of supernatural cases, letting their subordinate "Angry Hammer Institution" completely replace the "Treatment Institute."

2. High Wall Council: They had the ability to arrange the "Mad Beast attack event," but they had no motive, so they were only considered a secondary suspect.

3. Vadi Family: Same as the High Wall Council; they had the ability but no motive.

4. The new director and deputy director, as well as this batch of many new members: They had the most motive. Don't forget, Su Xiao's identity had already achieved six consecutive director kills. Could the new director and deputy director not panic? It would be better to take the initiative and see if they could kill Su Xiao.

The reason Su Xiao analyzed who poisoned him was that he felt the people planning to implement the startling change plan on the "God Sacrifice Day" three days later were the same group that poisoned him.

The Treatment Institute a few hours ago was indeed a powder keg, but if a large-scale supernatural event suddenly occurred in the High Wall City, a full-strength Treatment Institute would definitely be the top institution. It was possible that the mastermind had only just started the plan before being beaten down head-on by the Treatment Institute.

Therefore, the mastermind behind the God Sacrifice Day startling change plan most hoped that the Treatment Institute would undergo a major reshuffle now and that this deputy director, who had the most experience in handling supernatural cases, would be removed. Only then could no one stop them three days later.

At this stage, Su Xiao was not in a hurry to find the Dead Silence City. It was obvious without thinking that as long as he followed the thread of the promotion mission, it would be difficult for him not to go to the Dead Silence City later. There was no need to search desperately now; making early preparations for going deep into the Dead Silence City was what should be done at this time.

Rising from the steps, Su Xiao left the alley and walked toward the main entrance of the Treatment Institute. Walking through the unguarded main gate, he arrived at the courtyard surrounded by three buildings, the ground covered in fallen leaves.

Counting the doctors and nurses transferred from other departments, there were now no more than ten people in the entire Treatment Institute. Among the few subordinates still alive, three were severely disabled and could no longer be treated. The loss of control of these three was inevitable; letting them leave with dignity was the greatest respect for them.

Of the remaining two, one was severely injured, and the other was the old man who had just been holding a body bag, preparing to help Su Xiao collect his corpse.

Given the injuries of this identity at that time, the probability of sudden death was over 90%. Under such circumstances, being able to come and help collect the corpse already showed great regard for past friendship.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that this old man was the one who poisoned him; he would keep him by his side to observe for a day.

This old man was named Chaman. Don't look at his current appearance of old arms and legs, withered figure, and slow walking; once he drew his battle axe, this old guy would jump up like a mad dog and swing the axe wildly. He was a famous "old mad dog" in the Treatment Institute.

The remaining severely injured person was named Marina. Please don't be deceived by this sweet-sounding name. Ms. Marina had a height of 2.37 meters and a weight of 415 pounds, and her body fat percentage was at most no more than 5%.

In Su Xiao's temporary memory, the scene of Marina tearing a Mad Beast apart with her bare hands was exceptionally clear. This female warrior fought until the very end before falling.

Su Xiao walked into the four-story building on the left. A few minutes later, he stopped in front of a single dormitory room on the third floor and pushed the door open to enter. Inside, it was pitch black.

Crack!!

A crisp sound came, and the sharp axe swinging from the darkness was blocked by Su Xiao's crystal-layer-wrapped hand.

"It's me."

Su Xiao spoke. The person in the darkness, whose aura was completely restrained, immediately withdrew the long-handled battle axe, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Su Xiao raising his hand.

Snap~

The light turned on. Chaman, in an old black trench coat, appeared. He wore a black bowler hat and held a sharp axe with a retractable handle in one hand, the blade covered in indelible red stains.

On the oversized single bed in the corner, the unconscious Marina lay in the quilt. Her complexion was sallow, her breathing intermittent; she was already at death's door.

Su Xiao took out an injection gun and, after performing an intravenous injection on Marina, opened the metal box he had brought, taking out several large bags of artificial bionic blood.

This item was invented by some genius. People of any blood type could use it. Its function was to temporarily replace fresh blood for oxygen transport while slowly decomposing into the nutrients needed for blood production.

It had to be said that Ms. Marina's vitality was very strong. After just a few hundred milliliters of artificial bionic blood were infused, her complexion was no longer sallow. Although still somewhat pale, at the very least, she didn't look like someone about to die.

Marina's eyelids trembled a few times, then she slowly opened them. Her dim eyes gradually regained their luster. Seeing Su Xiao sitting on the chair by the bed, she made a move to get up.

"Officer."

"..."

Su Xiao signaled that Marina didn't need to get up. The other party called him "Officer" because she came from the High Wall Council's Military Police Department. Because she couldn't stand the Military Police officers bullying civilians, Marina had struck out with heavy punches on the spot, beating the officer half to death. The subsequent situation was very simple: the previous owner of Su Xiao's identity had encountered this incident by chance and recruited Marina into the Treatment Institute.

After staying in the single dormitory for a while and confirming that Marina's condition was stable, Su Xiao let old Chaman continue to guard there, in case there were any changes.

After leaving the dormitory building, Su Xiao looked at the full moon in the sky. It was a dark and windy night, a good opportunity to release the "Silent Servant" and "Tunneling Servant," letting this bumbling duo dig for ore in the underground of High Wall City to see what gains could be made.

【Prompt: Detected that the Hunter holds an important item of this world: Black King's Reincarnation (Holy Spirit Grade, Set, Unique).】

【Yes/No to trigger the main mission of this world? You can execute the main mission while executing the promotion mission.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao prepared to refuse. The pressure of the promotion mission was already great enough; he couldn't have it all like in the Netherworld this time. He had just prepared to refuse when he suddenly remembered something.

This main mission could not be refused. Not only could it not be refused, but he also had to accept it and then deliberately let it fail. The reason was that the Eight-Star Title he obtained in the previous world had such a characteristic.

"Title Effect 3: Doomsday Remnant (Passive): Can exempt one forced execution penalty brought about by the failure of a main mission."

"Prompt: After exempting one forced execution, this title will be destroyed and transformed into 5 non-attribute Seven-Star Titles (this type of title can be used as a secondary title needed during burning and refining)."

A long time ago, Su Xiao had wanted to get a high-quality combat title, but unfortunately, he hadn't been able to get one. The Eight-Star Titles included 【Sky-Plundering Shock】, 【War Overlord】, and 【Doomsday Monarch (Grease-Sealed)】; the Seven-Star Titles included 【Blood Intent】 and 【Holy Meal】. In short, there wasn't one that improved his personal combat power. The only one that improved personal combat power was the Five-Star Title 【Deep Blue Shadow】.

【Deep Blue Shadow】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Quality: ★★★★★

Category: Title, Rare (This title's potential has only been released by 72%).

Title Effect 1 (Unique Effect): For every point of real strength attribute, the wearer will additionally increase physical defense by 0.5 points (with a cap).

Title Effect 2 (Unique Effect): For every point of real stamina attribute, the wearer will additionally increase health by 30 points.

Prompt: Of the two title effects, only one can be activated at the same time.

Title Effect 3: If the star level of this title is successfully increased, a chance for a qualitative change of the title will be obtained, which can change this title from "Defense Characteristic" to "Attack Characteristic."

Current Characteristic: Defense Characteristic (This title would have a higher compatibility with Attack Characteristic; due to random burning and refining, this title is currently a Defense Characteristic).

Brief: This is the shadow of rage in the deep blue, yet you use it for defense? Unbelievable.

Price: Cannot be sold

Su Xiao thought of a method. As long as the main mission received this time failed, he could not only transform 【Deep Blue Shadow】 into an attack-characteristic personal combat title but also make this title reach Eight-Star level!

East of the city, beside the reservoir river.

A burly figure stood on a stone tablet by the riverbank. He looked at the full moon in the sky, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Kukulin Bai Ye, get as far away from me as you can. I can't afford to provoke you, but I can afford to hide. Hehehehehe... Hahaha!!"

Under the moonlight, Nightmare Cain let out a hearty laugh. He didn't believe that he could still encounter Su Xiao in this world.

South of the city, vast wheat fields grew here. The night scene was boundless, and even with moonlight, the city walls in the distance could not be seen clearly.

The Crow Woman, in a black tight-fitting suit, tied her hair into a neat ponytail. Behind her were over a hundred spellcasters in robes. This time, the Arcane Eternal Star was determined to win.

North of the city, on a bustling street illuminated by streetlamps, the road was crowded with traffic. Steam cars were still relatively rare, mostly consisting of intricately structured metal carriages.

Pedestrians on the street were endless, and the various shops on both sides of the street were dazzling. It was worth mentioning that due to the habits passed down from the Disaster Era, the flesh trade in High Wall City belonged to a gray industry; it was regulated but did not reach the level of violating the law.

The street vendors made the atmosphere of the whole street better. Holding a skewer of grilled meat, Gulu, wearing a black-red Gothic dress, walked among the pedestrians. Looking around, she was considering whether to go find Su Xiao or observe for a period of time first.

However, some fates were destined. Gulu's gaze swept across the crowd inadvertently, and a familiar, pretty figure caught her eye. That clean temperament, like a neighbor's big sister—who else could it be but Saint Poetry?

Seeing this beautiful face, Gulu subconsciously recalled key words like "burying people" and "drowning." The grilled meat she was chewing in her mouth suddenly didn't taste good anymore.

On the street more than ten meters away, Saint Poetry, wearing a gold-white long dress, also saw Gulu. Her memory was of the super-high income after the Tree-Born World settlement when she possessed Gulu. At that time, she was certain that this little Gothic dress must be hugging a big thigh, and that thigh was terrifyingly thick.

Gulu was just about to make a move to jump back when Saint Poetry, opposite her, had already raised her hand to point at her own brow. She wanted to commit suicide on the spot and then possess Gulu.

Bang~

Saint Poetry died, her head seemingly pierced by a bullet. She fell to the ground immediately.

After witnessing this scene, Gulu's hair stood on end. She shouted, "Get lost!"

"Little Gothic dress, long time no see."

Saint Poetry's voice appeared in Gulu's mind, causing her to gradually put on a mask of pain.
