When it was getting dark, a palm-sized bat tore through the air and appeared in front of Edward, dropped a note, and hovered in the air waiting for Edward's reply.

This is Akasha's messenger.

Edward opened it and a light flashed in his eyes: Akasha had already determined the location of the thief demigod. As expected, she chose to parasitize a mouse and hide in a manor in the suburbs of Backlund.

"Please tell Count Akasha to take action tonight!"

whoosh.

The little bat disappeared into a shadow.

Edward looked at Lilith who was reading a book and said, "Lilith, I'm going to avenge you!"

"Huh?"

She raised her head. "Is it the bad guy in the sewer?"

"That's right!"

"I want to go too!"

"No, it's too dangerous."

Lilith said unhappily: "Okay, I'll wait for you at home~ Hurry up~"

Edward patted her head, and his figure twisted and disappeared.

A few minutes later, Lilith stood up, stretched, jumped onto the windowsill and rushed into the darkness.

...

Backlund North District, Pinster Street.

Edward, wearing a passerby's face, knocked on the door of Townhouse 7. After a moment, Leonard opened the door and looked at the stranger in front of him in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"

It was Pales who answered him: "Looking for me."

"What?"

Leonard was stunned, a little bit unbelievable. Logically speaking, people who know the old man should know me first, right? How could someone skip me and know the old man?

His face changed:

"Old man, did you... control my body while I was asleep?"

"What do you think?"

"…"

Pales said calmly: "Don't worry, I will tell you every time I take over your body. As for the one in front of me, he is a disciple of an old friend of mine. He asked me to come here to jointly hunt down a thief demigod."

Leonard whispered in his heart: "Why don't I know anything about this?"

"We didn't meet in real life, so of course you don't know. Okay, are you going to stand at the door like this forever?"

Leonard felt relieved. Even though he had never fully trusted the parasite in his body, he had seen the help it had given him over a long period of time. He really began to regard it more and more as an elder.

"Come in."

"No."

Edward shook his head. "Old man, I have contacted the demigod of the blood clan and will start the hunt tonight. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Tell him it's convenient, but I've already told him what I can do last time. If it's okay, let's go now."

Leonard repeated what Pales said.

"No problem, all you have to do is prevent him from escaping."

"OK."

Pales smiled slightly at this time: "Then, I will have to take over your body temporarily from now on."

Leonard took a deep breath and said, "Come on."

...

8:30 in the evening, at the Elk Manor in the northwest suburbs of Backlund.

This house originally belonged to a viscount and has a history of hundreds of years. Congressman Macht bought it after he got married and spent a lot of money on major renovations every year so that he could invite friends to vacation on weekends in autumn and winter.

However, due to the recent events, it is estimated that Senator Macht will not come here for a long time. Despite this, there are still maids and servants here to take care of the daily cleaning, so that Senator Macht can always come here to spend a relaxing time.

The deepest part of the estate's wine cellar.

Flora Jacob has been feeling uneasy since she was transferred here at noon. She felt as if someone was secretly watching her every move.

But no matter how she drove the rats in the manor to search, she found no trace of the Beyonder.

So she tried to convince herself that these were just hallucinations, but she couldn't dispel the uneasiness in her heart.

"Impossible, there's no way they could have found me so quickly. It must have been a rat... It was the parasitic rat that affected me, making me doubt and fear everything."

"Yes, don't think too much, don't think too much."

"As long as we can hold on for this period of time, we will be safe."

The gray-white mouse squeaked and gnawed at the wooden barrels in the cellar desperately, trying to reduce the uneasiness in its heart.

Suddenly, a crimson light appeared in the dark cellar and quickly spread around, shrouding the entire cellar in crimson moonlight.

Is that the moon?

No! How can you see the moon in a cellar?!

Flora reacted immediately. A light flashed in her dark red eyes, and she directly stole the crimson moon. The cellar immediately fell into darkness again.

Then, pairs of blood-red eyes lit up in various places in the cellar. They were crazy rats, which Flora had arranged in advance for this moment.

She wants to escape!

No matter who her opponent was, she had no intention of fighting.

But the next second, Flora found that the mice around her were quickly getting out of her control. She was very familiar with this feeling - it was another thief!

Chapter 310 Midnight, Woman and Cat

Who is it?

Without giving her time to think, everything around her quickly became blurry, and suddenly she found herself in another space.

This is Edward's [World in the Painting].

The crimson moonlight shines again.

Flora suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis coming, and saw a piece of moonlight suddenly condense into a human figure, waving its nails with scarlet patterns on them and grabbing towards her.

"steal!"

She immediately stole the other person's thoughts for a few seconds, and then stole the distance several times in a row in an attempt to leave.

"Zoom in, stealing is prohibited here!"

Edward, wearing an invisible cloak, decisively banned the opponent's stealing ability, and then used several distortions to make the gray-white mouse return along the same path, while amplifying the influence of her mouse instincts.

However, the mouse quickly got rid of the influence of the distortion, and countless strange symbols appeared in its dark red eyes.

This is the decryption ability of the thief's path. It can not only analyze dreams, illusions and many other mysteries, but also find the enemy's position through analysis, reach a high sequence and even analyze other people's abilities to find flaws, and then exempt them from the ability of analysis.

Sure enough, she quickly found the forbidden loophole.

The next second, she swung her claws: "Steal!"

She steals Edward's invisibility cloak and makes herself invisible.

However, Akasha did not lose her target at all because of the mouse's invisibility. All vampires have an extraordinary sense of smell, and she could capture Flora's location with her eyes closed.

She swung her claws again, bringing up a burst of scarlet light, leaving five scratches dozens of meters long around her. Moonlight-like flames then spurted out from the scratches, burning everything around her.

Flora, however, was not within the range of the scratches.

"Zoom in, invisibility is prohibited here."

Edward quickly added another prohibition, and saw a glowing invisibility cloak on the ground, but the mouse was not there.

"Tsk, you're just going to hide?"

Akasha curled her lips, and the illusory bat wings behind her flapped gently. Her body suddenly turned into crimson moonlight all over the ground. The next second, the moonlight condensed and turned into a scarlet sea of ​​blood.

The next second, a sharp rat cry was heard, and the gray rat in the sea of ​​blood grew more than ten times larger, with its body covered in wriggling blood.

"Got you!"

The wriggling blood suddenly tightened and turned into sharp claws made of blood to grasp the mouse, and crimson moonlight flames erupted at the same time.

boom!

Although Flora changed her position again by stealing, the hair all over her body was still singed black by the flames.

"Zoom in! Shadowless strike! Avada Kedavra! Fiendfyre! Deadly attack..."

Edward, wearing the Ravenclaw crown, opened fire and launched a covering attack on the giant rat. Flora quickly changed her position by constantly stealing to avoid it.

One chain after another took shape and coiled towards the mouse like a poisonous snake. Although they failed to tie it up, they still caused it a lot of trouble.

"Zoom in! Vladimir!"

Edward seized the opportunity and used an amplified Transfiguration spell that consumed a large amount of spiritual energy to hit the giant rat, turning it into a piece of wood. Although it only lasted for a second, it bought Akasha enough time.

Swish!

A blood-red arrow seemed to have crossed space and distance and suddenly appeared in front of Flora. She wanted to steal it again without hesitation.

"distortion!"

But then Edward twisted her intentions.

laugh!

The blood moon arrow pierced through her neck and penetrated her body, leaving a wound emitting crimson moonlight flames.

"Amplify! Distort!"

Edward decisively finished off her, further magnifying her injuries and twisting them into fatal ones.
