Chapter 389: Mouth in the Palm

His eyes stayed on Dacnisi's red gloves for a moment, and Xia De shook his head indifferently. He didn't have any competitive spirit to tell the other party what he had done:

"It doesn't matter what ring I am, but since you look down on me, I won't say much more. Let's pretend we haven't met today."

"No, no, no, pretending we haven't met won't do. Since you found me, I naturally cannot let you leave."

While speaking, Mr. Dacnisi had already dropped the umbrella in his hand and then took off the red glove on his right hand. The right hand under the glove was obviously larger than his other hand. Under the dark, swollen skin, it seemed that worms were churning.

He showed a strange smile to Xia De, and then used his left hand to lift his right arm. Xia De felt uneasy instinctively, and what happened afterward proved that this uneasiness was correct, because a crack actually split open in the palm of Mr. Dacnisi's right hand, and then a mouth with teeth appeared in the palm.

"Oh!"

A strange dizziness made Xia De stagger and almost fail to stand firm. That opened mouth seemed to be directly connected to the bottomless abyss, and he even felt his soul was about to be sucked in.

Soul separation was an illusion, but the huge suction force was not. The mouth squirmed, and the rainwater falling in the clearing above the roof between Xia De and Dacnisi actually changed its trajectory, presenting an arc and flying toward that mouth.

The suction force forced Xia De to stagger forward again, so he immediately slashed a ray of moonlight forward with his right hand. The light slashed directly toward the wide-open mouth, but as a piece of strange darkness appeared in front of Dacnisi, the slash of the silver moon actually disappeared.

It was not spatial transfer, nor had it already hit the target, but the moonlight was truly swallowed by the darkness.

"You..."

Behind the mask, Xia De widened his eyes.

The power of that strange darkness gave him a strange feeling, even more so than the strange mouth on the other party's right hand. After thinking slightly, he understood that the darkness that swallowed the moonlight was extremely similar to the feeling when he felt Iluna's "balance."

"This is truly..."

The darkness only appeared for a moment and then disappeared, but the suction force of the mouth on Dacnisi's right hand continued to increase. Xia De's body wanted to move to the side, but that powerful suction force didn't allow him to make any movements.

"You can't... hmm?"

Dacnisi frowned slightly, because Xia De's figure disappeared out of thin air and then appeared in the corner of the roof. Before Dacnisi could turn his right hand over, Xia De threw away the frog leg, then bent down slightly and jumped backward fiercely, jumping over the alley with an umbrella and coming to the roof of the building opposite.

At a long distance, the suction force of that terrible hand became much smaller, only futilely swallowing rainwater. So the middle-aged man with a gloomy face put down his right hand, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Xia De across the alley through the rain curtain.

The two looked at each other in silence, neither of them speaking first. Finally, it was Xia De who spoke first, and a somewhat blurry voice entered the ears of the middle-aged man who was putting on his gloves again:

"I am actually quite curious about what kind of person you are. You made such a heavy move upon meeting; this is too unfriendly."

Xia De was not arrogant enough to think he could fight a six-ring warlock. He was able to run away just because the other party didn't expect he could move spatially. Therefore, while speaking, Xia De jumped on the roof again, and within a few breaths, his figure completely disappeared into the rain.

Choosing to meet on the roof was the most important reason for being convenient to escape.

The middle-aged man wearing red gloves didn't go to chase, and even the other ring warlocks lurking downstairs didn't go to chase:

"You think you can escape?"

He muttered, picked up the umbrella, turned to the stairs, and prepared to meet with his companions.

Xia De on the other side didn't know if anyone was chasing him, so he kept running until the spell 【Frog's Leap】 was about to end before stopping.

When he stopped, even he didn't know where in Lengshuigang he had run to. He turned around in the vicinity a few times and didn't find anyone suddenly jumping out to kill him, which made him feel relieved.

Uncovering the mask, he leaned against the alley entrance panting, facing a main road. Because of the rain, there were not many people on the road. Thinking about what happened just now, he felt this trip was very worth it:

"This trip was truly risky. It turns out Mr. Dacnisi is a six-ring warlock... He was able to go to the bottom cabin of the Fishbone Pirate Ship, and he must have had his own merits. Just now, that mouth in the palm, was that also a miracle... how does it look like a manifestation of a ring warlock losing control. And that piece of darkness that swallowed my miracle, that strange feeling..."

A carriage galloped through the rain, passing by Xia De, and the splashing water fell on his boots.

"This kind of guy who wants to kill upon meeting, if he really is the second one, that's truly terrible."

Panting for a few breaths, he felt he had recovered quite a bit. Just as Xia De relaxed his mood and planned to return to the Seven Brooms Tavern, a voice suddenly came from his ear:

【If I remember correctly, you have always carried the 'Destiny's Twenty-Sided Die'.】

"Of course."

【From one to twenty, from twenty to one, outsider, this is the perfect time to flip the die.】

"Hmm? What?"

In the drizzling rain, Xia De had a look of horror and astonishment on his face.

He moved quickly to throw away the umbrella, took out the metal die from the box in his pocket, and threw it directly into the rain. At the same time, the whispering sound in his ear continued to explain the current situation:

【You felt an attack from destiny.】

"Who? Who wants to harm me again?"

Xia De looked left and right in the rain.

【You rebounded it.】

Xia De caught the falling die. When he saw that the number on the die was actually twenty, he widened his eyes again:

"Who wants to kill me again?"

A powerful attack could rebound extremely high luck. This twenty didn't manifest good luck, but something must have happened at this moment. This time there was no need to wait; she gave the answer:

【This ripple of destiny is the same as the last time.】

"Which last time?"

【The script of the Puppeteer, outsider, it is the script of the Puppeteer that is attacking you.】

Xia De didn't pick up the umbrella, just stood in the rain, letting the rain soak him. The expression on his face had shock, astonishment, and anger:

"Luweiya has three pages of script, but she couldn't possibly attack me. The remaining scripts are all in the hands of the 【Blood Spirit School】. It's the Blood Spirit School again... Wait!"

Xia De turned around fiercely, looking in the direction he came from:

"I just left Dacnisi's side and encountered an attack... Mr. Dacnisi is a member of the Blood Spirit School?"

More details appeared in Xia De's mind at the same time, and he understood everything:

"Mr. Dacnisi is the one Miss Miss Jia Lin Na said was originally arranged to come from the New Continent to Tobesk to assist 【Mercury Blood】!"

He looked in the distant direction. If nothing went wrong, right now, there was a person writing who was startled to find that the blood on his fingers had contaminated the words he had just written.

"Mr. Dacnisi's companions are other members of the 【Blood Spirit School】, as well as other members of 【Mercury Blood】 who escaped from Tobesk! That's why there are so many people in the Pink Rose Hotel who don't want to appear easily!"

He bent down to pick up the umbrella, his heart already understanding everything:

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. They are waiting to board the ship; that's what it means! They are preparing to board the ship and return to the New Continent. That's why they tried their best to avoid being found. So that's how it is! I knew it, anyone who cheats at cards is definitely not a good person!"

She chuckled in his ear.

"Blood Spirit School, it's you again. But if Dacnisi really is the second chosen one..."

Standing in place and thinking for a moment, Xia De held the umbrella and ran toward the distance with hurried steps.

(Xia De is running...)

An hour and a half later, at 1:00 PM, Xia De, panting, met the purple-eyed diviner in the divination room on the second floor of the Tobesk Prophet Association.

This time Xia De didn't bring the cat. Luweiya closed the door and looked at him very curiously:

"Xia De, why do you look like you've been running for several streets?"

"I didn't just run, I also swam for a long distance."

He covered his chest and adjusted his breathing.

"Swimming? You just came back from Lengshuigang? What happened?"

Luweiya's expression became serious:

"Xia De, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but there might be trouble regarding the second chosen one."

He took out the 【Kormo Empire Gold Coin】 and 【Death's Redemption Coin】 left over from the last divination, and told the situation he encountered today in a low voice. While Luweiya frowned, Xia De proposed what he wanted to do:

"Use these two coins to divine whether I met a chosen one today."

"If it really is, then it's troublesome, Blood Spirit School..."

Luweiya understood what Xia De was worried about. She first tried to throw one, but one couldn't divine the result, which itself vaguely revealed the result.

But to be safe, she still consumed these two hard-to-get special coins, which meant they only had one blood money left each. As the coins turned into fly ash, Luweiya opened her purple eyes:

"I saw a man holding an umbrella and wearing red gloves."

"Yes, that is Mr. Dacnisi."

"That is the second chosen one."

Although he had expected this result early on, hearing it confirmed, Xia De still couldn't help but gasp. The outsider and the diviner had long thought it impossible for all chosen ones to be good people, but for the second one to be a ring warlock of their hostile force, this was not a good thing.

"The other party has the curse of the mermaid song. At least before the Sea Return ritual, he definitely won't leave Lengshuigang. What should we do? Just pretend he doesn't exist?"

Xia De asked. He and Luweiya wouldn't get close to such a person.

"Or kill him directly?"

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly. He still had a drop of divinity on him, and the other party hadn't even truly awakened yet. But the problem was not whether Xia De could succeed, but whether it was worth it.

"Or... report him?"

"Report him!"

Luweiya said loudly. ===== CHAPTER 390 =====
