Chapter 513 The Street in the Shadows (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Niu Ke Street

He Ao picked up his phone and glanced at the time: 4:50 PM.

He lifted his foot and stepped into Neuk Street.

This is a bustling commercial street, consisting of a main street and a dozen different side streets.

The streets were bustling with people.

The fact that such a famous street never appeared in Rani and Gade's photos is itself a point of suspicion.

The Ruodan branch of the World Tree is most likely located on a side street off one of the main streets of this bustling commercial area.

Hidden away in the city.

Such a bustling place always makes people subconsciously feel that no one would place a branch of an intelligence organization here.

This actually makes it a safe place.

Of course, when World Tree intelligence personnel come and go, they should be careful not to let those around them notice anything amiss.

To avoid their special characteristics being noticed, He Ao guessed that the World Tree's branch would still choose a street with less foot traffic.

He walked along the main street, scanning all the side streets, but found no street with suspicious buildings.

Do we have to search every single street one by one?

He looked up at the sky; the sun was already gradually setting in the west.

Although the sunlight was still bright at this time, it was already close to evening.

Based on previous information, the god known as the 'Mysterious Shadow' claims to be the ruler of the eternal night, and his power is most active after nightfall.

Similarly, nightfall should be the most suitable time for the primitive church to carry out rituals.

The reason there was no mass ritual death last night was because Heo disrupted the Shadow Club, attracting Moonlight's attention and ruining their plans.

However, Heo did not believe that the Shadow Club was all the methods the Primal Church had used. Rani had never entered the Shadow Club and still died in the ritual.

Once night falls, the Primitive Church will begin its rituals through other means. With the blessing of divine power, Heo may not be able to defeat them so easily.

Therefore, it is best to find the Ruodan branch of the World Tree before nightfall, which is the residence of the followers of the corrupted original church.

He looked at the branch streets that he had already observed and fell into deep thought.

Images of the streets flashed through his mind.

He shouldn't have missed any streets.

He counted the number of streets in his mind; it seemed that there were seventeen branch streets along the entire Neuk Street.

These are seventeen streets, and he has looked at them all carefully.

and many more,

He Ao was taken aback, took out his phone, opened the map software, located the spot, and counted all the surrounding side streets along Newcastle Street.

Sixteen, seventeen...eighteen.

Neuköller Street has a total of eighteen branch streets.

He stopped what he was doing and looked at the bustling street in front of him again. He had searched through all the streets of Niu Ke Street that he remembered, a total of seventeen streets, and there was no eighteenth street.

However, the map in his hand clearly showed eighteen streets.

Either the map hasn't been updated in a long time, causing problems.

The problem is either that he himself has a problem.

Moreover, he couldn't recall at all which street he had counted differed from the eighteen streets on the map.

He pondered for a moment, then, following the streets on his phone's map, he re-entered Neuk Street and began counting them one by one.

One...two...four...

···Seventeen···Eighteen.

He Ao stopped and stared blankly at the busy side street in front of him.

Eighteen articles, right?

Did I miscount?

No, something is wrong.

He closed his eyes and carefully recalled what had just happened.

Although he counted eighteen streets, he still only had images of seventeen streets in his memory.

He lifted his foot again and counted the streets one by one, this time counting backwards.

Eighteen...Seventeen...

···4···2

He Ao stopped in his tracks. He realized something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He retreated to the back of the fourth street and activated his hypermemory.

In that instant, the reflection of the entire street appeared in his mind.

He crossed the fourth street and then stopped between the second and fourth streets.

Pedestrians pass by without stopping, as if there is nothing here.

In fact, a thought was also in He Ao's mind telling him that there was nothing here.

However, in He Ao's mind, a lonely and desolate little street was reflected in his vision of hypermemory.

The street was shrouded in darkness, and even though the sun was shining brightly outside, there was not a glimmer of light on the street.

The street was lined with shops with their doors half-closed, and strange black canvases hung in front of their doors.

This is the 'eighteenth' street that has 'disappeared'.

Niu Ke Street has eighteen streets, but one street is hidden by some force.

So if you walk along the main street of Neukölln, you can only 'see' seventeen streets.

If you count the number of streets directly, you will skip the missing street and get the answer of eighteen streets.

However, He Ao was not counting the number of streets; he initially counted the number of streets from his memory.

For ordinary people, their memories are bound to be inaccurate, making such a count unlikely, and they themselves would probably not believe the number they counted.

So this is a very clever way to hide the interference; perhaps only those with a specific 'invitation' can enter this street.

However, for He Ao, who possesses enhanced memory through hyper memory, the long-term habit of using hyper memory makes him more confident in his own memory.

Because the hidden streets are not noticeable, He Ao only has images of those seventeen streets in his memory, which leads him to doubt the number of streets.

They eventually discovered this hidden street.

He Ao glanced at the dark street in front of him and put away his phone.

-

A man with a brown mustache sat at the intersection of a side street off Neuk Street, using the newspaper in his hand to shield his eyes as he glanced at the other side of Neuk Street.

A young man from the Central Plains, standing upright and looking somewhat immature, was standing opposite them, staring at something.

Clearly opposite

There was nothing there, but the young man seemed to be watching some complex scene.

The man kept staring at the young man's back as he watched the young man put away his phone, seemingly preparing to walk away.

A woman pushing a stroller walked past the young man, blocking his view.

The man's vision blurred.

Once the woman had passed by, the young man was no longer in his sight.

The man paused for a moment, then calmly put away the newspaper, took out his phone, and slowly stood up.

He glanced around, glancing at the security cameras in the nearby shops, then looked away, turned, and disappeared into a hidden alleyway deep in the street.

At the same time, he opened his phone's contacts, selected a number, and was about to dial it.

"Who do you want to contact that requires coming to such a remote place?"

A cold voice rang in his ear.

Out of the corner of his eye, a well-proportioned young man with a somewhat youthful appearance, resembling a man from the Central Plains, stood quietly beside him.

He froze, then immediately pulled a silenced pistol from his pocket and pointed it at the young man beside him.

puff--

A soft gunshot rang out, and the bullet embedded itself in the wall beside it.

He pulled the bone sword from the man's chest, letting the blood flow onto the ground.

He shoved the bone sword back into the pirate's treasure chest, watched as the man's eyes widened, and then he fell to the ground.

Why do all the people here seem to enjoy fighting and killing?

He Ao shook his head.

Can't we just abide by the law?

He crouched down and looked at the phone the man was clutching tightly in his other hand. The contact information displayed on the phone was...

Blood Master

The name sounds familiar.

Then He Ao remembered that the Dawn C-class he had marked was codenamed 'Blood Path'.

Is this the man of dawn?
