Victoria felt that she was going to die, her throat and body became limp, and a large amount of blood overflowed her tongue and teeth and filled her mouth.It was as if a baby was sucking on the soft part, drawing the source of life from it, she felt that she had also turned back into a powerless baby, subconsciously biting something to find her mother.
Mother?
This is a word that leaves no impression on the girl. As long as she can remember, she has lived with her teacher, orphans and nuns in the monastery.
The teacher rarely mentioned her parents, and she also thought that she was an abandoned baby in Saint-Etienne Church like other orphans.Maybe the teacher made up for her missing fatherly love, but...
who is my motherAfter a long time, Victoria began to think about this question again.
As the warm liquid flowed into the mouth, the restless drumbeat and tinnitus gradually disappeared and became quiet, and even the hallucinations became weaker and weaker.
Before disappearing completely, the snake said:
【Look at you now, Victoria. 】
Victoria opened her eyes and saw an extremely absurd scene.
Niels had a vague smile on his face. He stood in front of him and cut his wrist with a hidden knife. The blood spread down his rolled up sleeve and dripped into a girl's mouth. .
Victoria saw her own appearance clearly from the pupils of the other party. The pupils were bloodshot and turned red. She knelt down on the ground and stretched out her tongue to catch the dripping blood, crying and begging in the mud.
That greed and ugliness are the same as those she once hunted.
With a crisp sound, Victoria heard the sound of something breaking, and the tight thread of reason finally snapped.
"no, do not want--!"
The girl's desperate screams echoed in the dungeon.
Chapter 67 Revenue
After a short discussion, Ella touched the persona, and changed her appearance to Miss "Pharmacist" again.She intends to use mid-range teleportation and target the unnamed bar in Batignolles.
When Ella walked out of the light door, Melanie, who was sitting on the coffee table sofa, was startled by her sudden appearance.
"How is your injury?"
Melanie asked this first, but then she thought about it, since the other party can use teleportation magic to locate such a precise target location, even if the injury has not healed, most of it has recovered.
Ayla had checked the information with Shadow before using the teleportation, knowing that the latter left the Belleville party stronghold after pretending to be seriously injured.
"It's all right."
Ella signaled the other party not to worry, and she turned around in a circle as she spoke.
"Don't talk about this, you should have gained a lot yesterday, right?"
Hearing this, Melanie suddenly looked out the window mysteriously, and then checked whether anyone outside the door was eavesdropping on the conversation.
She motioned Ella to sit on the sofa, and dragged out an exquisite black metal box from under the bed, which was several times larger than the box used to shape the magic crystal that day, and the surface was even inlaid with beautiful gold patterns and small grains pearl.
Ayla could tell at a glance that the metal box had the effect of isolating the magic power, but she didn't know what was inside to use such a cumbersome magic-sealing container.Generally speaking, high-level alchemy props will not leak much magic power, at most wrapping them with cloth is enough.
Under the curious gaze of the girl, Melanie pressed the golden lock and opened the magic box.The dark blue round crystals are neatly placed in the red soft satin box. There are a total of twenty magic crystals with a total value of more than [-] francs!
The few rays of sunlight that penetrated through the curtains were refracted between the crystals. This simple hotel room suddenly seemed a bit jewel-like, and the rich magic power almost formed a liquid in the air!
At this time, Melanie put down the lid of the box.
The girl covered her small mouth with her hands, as if it was the first time she had seen such an amount of cash.
"This is......"
Ella narrowed her eyes and asked calmly.
She is now celebrating the fact that her voice has been disguised. The "apothecary" modeled after the court mage is not a little girl who has never seen the world. Otherwise, Ella's own voice will definitely tremble, which will look very... Shame on you.
"Detective" Melanie lowered her voice and said:
"This is part of our proceeds at Warehouse Two that day, and this is part of what you deserve."
In fact, Court's opinion was that he and Melanie would share half of the profits and use the remaining part to fund the Paris Executioners' activities. This was also the Executor's usual way of handling the spoils of the mission.
But Melanie felt that she had done almost nothing in the incident, and she could not take the credit of the "pharmacist" lady with peace of mind, so she deducted half from her own income in addition to fighting for some benefits.
"Don't refuse. Most of us will become partners in the same department in the future. I don't want to feel that I owe you every time I see you in the future. This is the basis for maintaining a friendly relationship."
Melanie sat up straight and sounded serious.
Ella hesitated for a few seconds, then took out two magic crystals from the metal box and returned them to Melanie.
"This is the money from the magic box."
Melanie didn't shirk, and readily took the two crystals.In her opinion, the fact that the pharmacist didn't choose to take advantage of that little advantage also meant that the other party was more trustworthy, which made her feel better.
"Let's go downstairs and have a drink or two. It's a celebration of our first successful cooperation."
"Very happy to."
This time, Ella didn't feel malicious gazes from the corridor. In Lingxin's vision, the surrounding rooms were empty and there was no one there.
The bar on the first floor also seemed a lot deserted, and many familiar "alcoholic drinkers" who would have stayed in this crappy place all day did not appear in the bar.The boss, Knox, had returned to Batignolles in the early hours of this morning, and he and a few waiters and bartenders who were not involved in the action were the only ones remaining in the bar.
In fact, that's how a small bar of this size should be staffed.
Even so, after the fall of Batignolles' most powerful Belleville party, there will be no other gangsters with no eyesight willing to provoke boss Knox.Being able to continue to sit quietly behind the bar after such turmoil can explain a lot of problems in itself.
After Ella and the others walked down the stairs, Knox's expression looked very natural. He didn't feel sorry for those men who were running away. The most indispensable thing in a place like this was people. He could always recruit a group of smarter people. Some people do things for themselves.
After being "invited" back by Court and the police officers, the biggest boss behind this bar has actually been replaced by the Batignolles police station and executors.
"Good morning ladies, what would you like to drink?"
"Cherry brandy, the unadulterated kind."
Miss Detective deliberately sarcasticly said that she was somewhat dissatisfied with how much she was stunned yesterday.
"I never had that in my store, at least not when I was there."
Knox shrugged, turned his head and took out a half bottle of wine from under the bar, filled two carefully cleaned clear glass glasses and slid them out.
In one sentence, he pushed away all the responsibility on himself, implying that it was the subordinate's act without authorization and had nothing to do with him.
Melan did not continue to haggle with Knox.
Guys like him who live under the influence of many parties don't have much freedom. As long as they choose to live in this bar, the Belleville party will get news sooner or later.
Ella and Melanie sat in a secluded corner.
The golden-yellow wine is filled with fresh and rich fruit aroma, which is much better than what the bartender brought up yesterday.
During this time, there were no other customers in the bar on the first floor, but Ella still used a snap of her fingers to isolate the sound around them.
"Come to think of it, how did we make so much money?"
she asked curiously.
Melanie drank half a glass of wine, her complexion became much ruddy.
"Actually, I didn't know leeches were so valuable... This has already caught up with my income in two or three years."
"Actually, I sold some to Mr. Martin at a low price through my own means."
Melanie ordered a plate of dried cranberries, sipping brandy.
"Oh, you mean the barber-turned-doctor?"
Ella thought back.
"What about the others? Did you gain anything else yesterday?"
Although Ella asked, she didn't hold out much hope.Hyde mentioned this matter, the soul of the foul blood has been polluted, any attempt to psychic means is dangerous and it is difficult to obtain any useful information.
"Have."
Melanie's answer was beyond Ella's expectation, Miss Detective seemed a little silent, she drank the remaining half glass of wine and sighed.
Only then did Ella notice that Melanie looked quite tired, and that she was probably drinking more than just to celebrate their first collaboration.
After hesitating for a moment, she continued:
"After we got rid of Batignolles' filthy blood, the hidden guys in the Belleville area also showed their feet."
"The person in charge of that area was an internal executor from the UK who chose to continue to follow up after passing on the information."
Having said that, Melanie took a deep breath.
Some kind of bad premonition rose in Ella's heart, and the latter's words confirmed this.
"In the early hours of this morning, the military police on patrol found the bodies of him and that dirty blood on the street... There were traces of a third person at the scene. They were killed by the same person."
"We think that's one of the enforcers."
Chapter 68 Phlebotomy
"...hunters."
Ella sighed.
The deceased was an internal executor from Kraft. He may have been a classmate of Ella, and he may have been studying in the same classroom or enjoying a banquet in the auditorium.
No matter which side he is on, an enforcer is an enforcer.They are all guardians sworn to maintain the balance.
Even now, Ella feels a sense of belonging there, and it's hard to see them as enemies.
But she didn't understand why Nils and the others chose to take action in person. Even if the low-level filthy blood species they planted in the underground world were exposed, the worst case would be to lose a few pieces.
Because of the characteristics of dirty vampires, it is difficult for psychics to work on them.On the other hand, she didn't think Nils would let those chess pieces know his whereabouts.
Therefore, reasons such as extinction cannot explain the actions of hunters at all.It's better to say that their rash actions will leave more traces that are not good for themselves.
Faced with Ella's doubts, Melanie couldn't find any clues for a while, and she went to the bar to fill up the wine by herself.After getting a little drunk, she became a little lazy and careless, completely different from the usual Miss Detective.
"No one can figure out what they think, after all we are not even the official executors... Anyway, we have to leave Batignolles before tonight. The clue points to Bale The Vail Street area, and now informants like us or outside executors are flocking to that place."
