The night was getting dark and the lights were dim.
A man wearing a tan coat broke the tranquility of the alley and ran wildly, looking back from time to time, trying to get rid of the bounty hunter behind him.
The hunter carrying a big sword chased him slowly, like a cat playing with a mouse, and the distance between the two parties shortened little by little.
Suddenly, a figure quickly passed over the roof of a house on one side. He jumped from the top of the two-story building. His thin black coat spread out in the wind like a pair of wings. Tomman, who was running in front, was instantly pushed down with his chin He hit the ground hard, feeling dizzy and losing even a trace of strength to resist.
The hunter's eyes as gorgeous as red roses fell on the person who stole her prey, and his voice was soft but cold: "He is mine, this is against the rules."
The man in a black coat pressed Tommen with his leather shoes and said hoarsely: "The rule is that I will help you catch this guy, and I will share one-third of the bounty."
Rather than dividing the bounty, the hunter with white hair and red eyes is better at using weapons to reason.
Not a penny would be given to him, and no one in this land could take anything from her by force.
"It seems like you don't want to. Well, then I won't take it. I'll help you for free."
"snort."
The man suddenly sighed: "Scadi, long time no see, I thought you could recognize me."
A trace of doubt flashed in the hunter's eyes: "I've never seen you, who are you?"
"We've met, Skadi, and I know where you're coming from."
call!
A strong wind swept through, and the broad sword blade cut through the air and hit the man's shoulder. He stood there, motionless, and the sword that fell straight down stayed a few centimeters above his body.
The hunter said coldly: "Why don't you hide?"
"We are friends. I don't think you will hurt me. Let's have a drink later and let's chat. If you treat me, treat it like I help you catch this guy, or I treat you to celebrate the reunion of our old friends."
The man kicked Tommen, who was so frightened that he fainted.
The hunter did not refuse his proposal and asked slightly coldly: "What is your name?"
"Mr. Four."
"I do not know you."
"Don't we know each other now? We are already friends."
"..."
Zhou Jinru bent down, grabbed the prey's clothes, put him on his shoulders, and asked: "Where to send him?"
Skadi looked at him warily, thought for a few seconds, and said truthfully: "The local police station."
"I don't know the road, please take me there. Besides, you don't want to carry him, right?"
This was a difficult guy. The hunter didn't know how to deal with him for a while. It was obviously inappropriate to kill him directly.
Forget it, just buy him a drink.
Skadi exhaled, reached out and lowered his hat, making a "come with me" gesture.
…
The lights of the police station were on. As two people opened the door from the outside, the sergeant with a police badge on his chest stood up and said in surprise: "Scati, have you caught the prisoner?"
An hour ago, a strange woman carrying a giant weapon took away the reward poster. She originally thought that it would take a day or two or even longer before there would be news, but she didn't expect that he was caught before he got off work.
The police chief took a look at Tommen's hair and exclaimed: "That's him. He broke into and robbed houses continuously and killed one person. Oh, you were so ruthless. He only had half his life left."
Zhou Jinru said patiently: "Where to throw it?"
"In the basement cell, he will be sent to a nearby mobile city to hang him in two days."
When Zhou Jinru returned from the underground, Skadi took a stack of banknotes from the police chief.
The Sheriff's mustache moved: "You didn't say there were two people when you came."
"One person can do it, two people can do it, as long as there is a reward." Skadi's answer.
Zhou Jinru followed her out of the police station, and they stood under the street lamp, looking at each other in silence.
The hunter handed a third of the bounty to the man next to him, but the latter refused: "I'm not short of money, let's go and have a drink."
Skadi put the money away. She was hesitant just now, but now she has made up her mind.
Skadi in 1094 was not the little killer whale who kissed Zhou Jinru underwater in 1098. The hunter who came ashore still had a ferocious nature, like a big cat with its claws stretched out to open its intestines. Don't show mercy when your belly is broken.
This land is no gentler than the deep sea.
Skadi understands this.
That's why she is very wary of familiar men.
Of course, having a drink is nothing. With the physique of a deep-sea hunter, it is difficult to get drunk, and getting drunk is not her style.
Gone are the days of locking yourself in your house, afraid of the outside world.
…
As late at night approached, the people who had gone back to rest after drinking dispersed, and the two returned to the bar. The overcrowded scene no longer existed.
"any drinks?"
"Brandy."
Zhou Jinru slapped the coin on the bar: "Give her a glass of brandy, I only want orange soda."
Skadi raised his eyebrows, why does this guy only drink soda? Is he trying to show something?
When she first set foot on land, Skadi didn't know how lethal her appearance was. Deep-sea hunters specialize in fighting and have little idea of ordinary people's lives. Later experiences allowed her to learn to disguise herself, and then to be alone. As tough and cold as she was when she was alone, she has learned how to survive in this land and deal with lustful people.
"I have a special physique and cannot drink. I just pour it out after one glass."
Is there really such a person?
Skadi was skeptical.
She watched the bartender push the brandy in front of her and pour a glass of soda for the man next to her. The orange liquid hit the wall of the glass, and tiny white bubbles swirled.
"I haven't seen you."
The hunter repeated, as if announcing something, she picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The fine brandy was as tasteless as boiled water in the Argor people's mouths.
If he dared to say something stupid like where he had seen her again, the hunter would turn around and leave, pick up the prostitutes who were close to him, she had seen a lot of them, and none of them ended well.
"I'm not lying to you. I have seen you and know where you come from. Deep Sea Hunter, you are not alone."
When Skadi heard the first half of the sentence, her right leg moved. She was about to leave, but she heard the second half of the sentence that directly revealed her true identity.
How did he know about the Deep Sea Hunter?
Is he an enemy? No, the hunter bloodline has no warning, but he is not a hunter either. Deep-sea hunters can sense each other, and the bloodline has no reaction.
Skadi's pupils shrank slightly and he changed his sitting posture, intending to listen to him continue.
"This is Letania's territory. Let me guess, what are you doing here..."
Zhou Jinru held the cup in his hand and turned his gaze to Skadi's beautiful side face, thinking that the white hair, red eyes, and the big sword between his legs, combined with his cold personality, really made him full of special attacks.
