While Nok was "racing" against time in the river, the Ripper on the shore had already found Anna and blocked her in a dark alley.
"Ann...na..."
[The Ripper] pressed forward step by step, with a hint of fear and...complexity in his angry face?
"Don't come here!"
Anna exclaimed: "Don't tarnish my eyes with your ugly appearance!"
"ugly?"
[Ripper] looked at Anna blankly, then looked down at his clawed arm.
"No!...Ugly...don't...want it!"
"Roar!"
[Ripper] roared like crazy and hammered the surrounding walls with both hands.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Along with the beatings, the sound of concussions spread all around.
"Bang!" On the second floor of the building on the roadside, a window was suddenly pushed open, and a figure stood at the window, looking out and cursing.
"It won't end! It's so noisy! And it won't let anyone sleep!"
"hiss!"
Anna looked at the open window with a stunned expression. To be precise, she was looking at the person in the window.
She wanted to know whose believer he was that was so brave and dared to yell at the monster in front of him!
[Ripper] didn’t expect that it would be scolded by a passerby!
For a moment, he raised his fists in embarrassment and looked at the wall in front of him, then turned to look at the dark window. He saw the same dark and peaceful figure. He didn't have the hammer, nor did he put it down.
What should it do? Waiting online, it’s very urgent!
Ahem, it’s a conspiracy.
Just when Anna thought it was going to get angry, [Ripper] put down his fists in embarrassment and shouted innocently to the person in the window.
"Sleep...sleep...roar!"
"Oh my god! There is a monster!"
Perhaps frightened by the sound of the Ripper, the person in the window was so frightened that he said "Oh my God" and closed the window.
The whole street returned to calm.
"..."
Anna was speechless. She thought she had really met a foolish and bold person who was not afraid of death, but it turned out that he was just a sleepy guy.
After this farcical episode, both Anna and [Ripper] turned their attention back to each other.
[Ripper] got down on all fours and slowly approached Anna like a wild beast.
Anna leaned against the wall at the end of the alley, looking at the beast-like [Ripper], not worried at all.
Instead, he put his right hand into his coat and tightly held the things hidden in his arms.
She glanced vaguely at her surroundings, wanting to see if the previous unexpected situation would happen again.
What happened next was not suitable for witnesses.
[Ripper] Looking at the woman so close, he wanted to rush forward and tear open the woman's chest with his sharp claws to see whether the woman's heart was red or black.
But the heart resisted instinctively. There seemed to be a voice in the heart telling it: Stay away from this woman, this woman is very dangerous!
"Ann...Na...die!"
In the end, the bloodthirsty in his heart defeated the fear in his heart.
[Ripper] ran two steps on all fours and jumped towards Anna who had nowhere to escape.
Seeing this, Anna suddenly stretched out her right hand hidden in her clothes, holding a piece of brocade tightly in her hand.
Anna's behavior made [Ripper], who was flying in the air, confused.
After all, in the face of danger, the first reaction of human beings is either to escape or to resist.
Could it be that this woman was so frightened that she remained motionless?
No, she moved.
Did she reach out and hold up the brocade to wave the white flag of surrender?
But the brocade is not white either!
[Ripper] Although he was confused in his heart, there was no doubt in the movements of his hands.
It had already rushed in front of Anna, raised its right paw with a cold light, and grabbed Anna in front of it.
"Boom!"
A cannon exploded, and the entire alley was lit up with a red light.
[Ripper] was flying in the air covered in blood, flying towards the road outside the alley.
"boom!"
[The Ripper] fell on the street, motionless and silent.
On the ground, a pool of blood spread with [Ripper]'s body as the center.
Anna held the brocade with bright red light in her hand and looked at the [Ripper] that fell on the street with a proud look on her face.
Sure enough, the piece of brocade in her hand was a treasure.
It seems that I underestimated this thing before!
Anna suppressed the excitement in her heart and quickly took the shining brocade into her arms.
The movement was so loud just now that Kendi caught the attention of the professionals wandering around at night.
She didn't want anyone to find out she had such a treasure on her.
She held up the hem of her skirt and carefully approached the [Ripper] lying motionless on the ground. 】
It's not that she is too careful, but that she knows how cunning this monster is.
Don't look at it, it's motionless now, as if it's in a coma. God knows if it's just pretending, it's just waiting to jump up and give itself a few hits when I step forward!
Anna is not stupid.
Besides, she wasn't in a hurry.
Don't forget, she has bodyguards.
It's been so long, her bodyguards should be arriving soon.
Moreover, since there is so much movement here, other professionals should be arriving soon.
Anna's analysis was not wrong, she just guessed wrongly the identity of the person who appeared first.
The first person to arrive at the scene was not the bodyguard Nok Lane.
But a monster hunter nearby.
He was already looking for prey nearby, so naturally he would not let go of the movement here.
Because this is his territory.
He wanted to know who dared to snatch prey in his territory.
But when he arrived at the place.
What he saw was a motionless monster that fell to the ground, and a trembling woman in a cloak.
Don't ask him why he knew it was a woman.
Which man would wear a lady's skirt and then a cape!
Only ladies who like to sneak out in the middle of the night to have an affair would dress like this.
only……
Aren't noble ladies usually protected by servants or guards?
Why is this person in front of me alone?
Oh, don't think that a lady's affair is such a secret thing.
In fact, it is an open matter in the aristocratic circle.
But the difference is, just don't do it openly and just let people get a handle on you.
After all, their husbands might have rested in some lady's bed.
This kind of thing is tacitly understood, and the aristocratic circle is very slippery.
Kidd is the monster hunter in this area, and this is the "turf" he has established.
After discovering that the monster has lost its threat.
He put away the crossbow in his left hand with a confused look on his face, and only held the one-handed sword in his right hand.
He held the sword and came to the monster's "corpse", looked at the woman a few steps away, and asked doubtfully.
"Madam, what happened here? Was it the monster you defeated?"
Although the lady in front of him did not look like a professional, he still maintained the most basic vigilance.
After all, it’s difficult to tell a person’s profession from his clothing.
What's more, professionals can also get married.
Who let him and this woman be the only two human beings in front of him?
Anna looked at Kidd who suddenly appeared with disappointment, shook her head and denied, "Sorry, sir. I don't know what happened. This monster was chasing me, and I had no way out and fled into the alley. Then I heard There was a loud noise, and when I came out, I saw the monster fell to the ground."
"By the way! Can you please escort me to my guard? My guard just fought with this monster to cover me, but the monster came after me, but he didn't catch up. I'm worried..."
Anna didn't say clearly what she was worried about, but Kidd guessed what she meant.
The monsters are catching up, and the guards who left behind cover must be dead or have escaped.
But Kidd didn't say this.
For a woman who had just narrowly escaped death, this answer was a bit hurtful.
"Madam, how about this? I'll take care of this monster for you, and then I'll escort you home after I've taken care of the monster. What do you think?"
"Ah?" Anna looked at Kidd in embarrassment, and after hesitating for a while, she said, "Okay... okay. But please hurry up, I... I'm scared."
At this time, Anna no longer had the calmness she had before facing the Ripper alone, and instead showed a submissive look.
This made Kidd instantly let go of his guard a lot.
He responded happily: "Don't worry. I'm always very fast. I'll be fine soon, but the picture may be a bit bloody. If Madam is not used to it, you can wait for me under the streetlight over there."
Anna said "yes" and agreed.
Then she walked slowly against the wall, trying to avoid the "corpse" on the ground.
Anna's behavior made Kidd feel funny.
It's just the corpse of a monster, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Sure enough, the woman in front of her was just an ordinary lady.
He no longer paid attention to Anna, but put down the tool bag on his shoulder and lowered his head to rummage through the tool bag to find tools to collect materials from the monster.
But at this moment, an exclamation sounded from behind him: "Sir, watch your back!"
When Kidd heard this, his body instinctively went cold. Without thinking, he gave up searching and rushed forward.
However, when he jumped out, he suddenly felt that his body was so light and his mind was so dizzy. My vision is a little blurry.
He instinctively looked behind him, and suddenly saw a body spurting blood in his blurry vision.
Huh?
This lower body looks so familiar!
This seems to be his lower body.
Oh, it turns out to be his lower body...
Kidd's upper body lay dead on the street, blood and entrails splattered on the open space between his two bodies.
[Ripper], who should have fallen to the ground without making any sound, was standing against the wall panting heavily, leaning against the wall and panting continuously.
It was covered in blood, and its legs shook from time to time when it stood.
The entire right arm was covered in blood and flesh, and the only left hand that could move had hot blood dripping from the tips of its claws.
It used this left claw to tear the hunter in front of it into two pieces.
Originally its target was Anna, but she didn't expect Anna to be fooled at all.
It had no intention of getting close to it. Instead, hunters appeared out of nowhere and tried to cut it into pieces.
It could only waste all its efforts and kill the hunter to vent its anger.
However, after being injured by Anna, it had long since given up on killing Anna.
It’s just that after everything has been done, it still wants to try again.
What if it happens?
