‘Viper’

That thin man hid in a corner, after seeing Jiang Liushi and so on getting further away, he came out. He looked deeply at the direction they left and walked toward the town. In a moment, the man appeared in front of a small shop on the street.

 The shop’s exterior was covered in graffiti, on its door there were two words, ‘The Tavern’, and a black skull beneath them. It seemed quite ordinary, but actually, commoners were not allowed to enter. As a matter of fact, many paranormals would gather there. Members of the Fierce Wind Squad always gathered there. The thin man pushed the door and walked in, and ascended some stairs reaching the second floor, and then he opened another door in the corner.

The room was filled with smoke, and several men were playing poker together. They were all accompanied by a woman. While those people were playing cards, they were kneading those women, who would occasionally laugh.
