Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

"Miss Lin, you didn't say it was something like that."

"I told you this matter is extremely confidential and cannot be known to outsiders. Once it's resolved, I'll keep everything to myself."

Old Carp said helplessly, "I guess I'm just unlucky. Wait a minute, following me like this isn't going to solve anything. Let me do some divination."

"Hey, Uncle Li, didn't you say that fortune-telling is just a charlatan trick?"

Old Carp squatted down, took out a bamboo tube from his satchel, and explained while shaking it: "People seek divination for wealth or marriage. Whether it's accurate or not, they know in their hearts. I'm asking about good or bad fortune, which concerns life and death. How can I be careless?"

As they were talking, a bamboo skewer came out and landed in front of them.

Lin Yuxia cast a curious glance at her: "Uncle Li, what does this fortune slip mean?"

Old Carp picked up a bamboo stick and softly recited, "Auspicious fortune, suddenly a strong wind blows, trees sway and branches shake..."

What about a bad draw?

"No need to read it aloud, I already know. Although this journey is risky, I am confident that things will turn out well and I will be safe and sound."

Lin Yuxia was even more puzzled. Why did she always leave half of what she said unsaid? Was it really that difficult to finish what she said in one go?

and also.

Asking about marriage...

Zalak blushed.

Isn't that exactly what they're talking about?

Fortunately, it was dark and Lao Li couldn't see, so Lin Yuxia couldn't help but feel guilty.

Currently, only Dr. Kal'tsit and Lin Yuxia know that Mike is Dr. An. The former is far away at the Rhodes Island pharmaceutical company, while Lin Yuxia has the advantage of proximity and is unwilling to miss out again.

“Miss Lin, let’s keep going. Only when this matter is completely resolved can the outer ring of Longmen be restored.”

"it is good."

Lin Yuxia steadied herself and quickened her pace with Lao Li.

In the distance, a bright red rose-shaped firework exploded in the sky.

……

It is also located on the outer ring of Longmen.

Texas, swords in hand, gazed up at the rose-colored fireworks. She recognized it as a distress signal from the Guard Bureau.

The key point is that the shape and color are too eye-catching, as if it's afraid others won't know about it.

The Luper knew perfectly well that the person sending the signal on the outer ring must be Hoshiguma; she had found the enemy's lair.

"Besides me, who else could it be? Lin Yuxia, or Mostima?"

……

"Some people are faster than us."

The fallen angel gazed at the red rose in the sky and said thoughtfully, "The signal flare from the Royal Guard Bureau should be Hoshiguma."

Li Boli, who was following behind, asked, "Is it that Easterner with the shield?"

"She's much more formidable without her shield than with it; don't underestimate her."

Fiameta pointed in the direction of the fireworks: "Shall we go take a look?"

"Of course, if Texas sees this, she'll definitely go too."

……

The snow pheasant, riding its bicycle, slowly came to a stop, its attention drawn to the red rose fireworks overhead.

She didn't understand what was going on, but the branch of the holy sword in her hand was pointing in that direction.

How could the chosen hero be absent?

With that in mind, Little Liboli sped up again.

……

Ursus-themed resort.

Hoshiguma walked up the stairs step by step, and the nobles attending the party avoided him like the plague. He was a ruthless man who would kill anyone he saw without mercy, which was exactly what they imagined people from the East to be like.

The doors to the ballroom on the second floor slowly opened, and the people swaying on the dance floor stopped and turned to look at Hoshiguma standing at the door.

Blood continued to drip from the long sword that Hoshiguma gripped tightly, and golden flames occasionally spewed from her mouth and nose, each time accompanied by black mist.

The crowd fell silent, parted to the sides, and a blonde, blue-eyed woman in an evening gown walked gracefully towards them.

As Hoshiguma looked at her, another name appeared in his heart.

Lady Rose.

33. Resort Tragedy

Two or three decades ago, the name Lady Rose was a household name, a prominent figure known to everyone.

In business, she is a major competitor of the Swire family of the Swire Group, specializing in perfume brands that are exported to other countries.

Politically, she was a staunch supporter of Ursus; if the events of Lungmen were made into a TV series, this woman could appear in the very last episode.

But she died.

She died in a tragic incident at the Ursus-themed resort, the truth of which remains unknown, so much so that decades later, no one remembers her anymore.

Coincidentally, Hoshiguma had the honor of meeting Lady Rose before, and now, seeing her walking towards him, he felt a profound shock.

Is this a case of the dead coming back to life?

Hoshiguma dared not make any rash moves, fearing that if she put on the Spectrum Glasses, she would find that the other person had turned into a skeleton.

"If you believe something, it will become a reality."

The man's words echoed in his ears, and the Eastern Man gripped his long sword tightly.

Even after so long since you left, you still remain in my heart.

I don't love you, but I can admit you're the best partner.

Hoshiguma exhaled and strode resolutely toward Lady Rose.

Those who are dead should be buried forever.

Lady Rose still wore her standard smile, which seemed particularly eerie in the current environment.

Ursus men surged forward from both sides of her, each wielding a weapon such as a saber, and two burly men even held rapiers horizontally, closing in step by step.

Well come!

Hoshiguma had extensive experience in street brawls many years ago, especially when outnumbered, and even when Chen Huijie was still in Lungmen, she would consult her.

Besides, she's not empty-handed now. Does she think those two knives are toys?

The Eastern Man held his twin swords in front of him, parrying the slashing military knives from both sides. The sharp blades pierced through the ribs of the two Ursus men, and instantly, bright red blood gushed out.

She didn't stop, facing seven or eight Ursus men, her twin blades flashing, clanging and clashing. In the blink of an eye, all the enemies who dared to charge fell, the thick blood mingling with the red carpet, making the colors even deeper.

Almost the instant the last Ursus fell, two rapiers pierced towards Hoshiguma's face and chest.

These types of weapons are not good at slashing, but they are exceptionally powerful when it comes to thrusting.

The human body is particularly vulnerable to thrusts; damage to any organ can cause a significant decrease in combat effectiveness.

With her sharp eyes, Hoshiguma brought the rapier within two meters, then swung her longsword back, using her powerful core strength to make an exaggerated turn, passing between the two rapiers and forcing the enemy to defend with her own blade.

Even experience in street brawls can make someone a master. When Hoshiguma picks up her shield, she is the best shield bearer, protecting her comrades. But when she puts down her shield, her true nature is revealed.

A smear of blood stained Hoshiguma's cheek as she flashed past. The burly man on her right suddenly looked down and saw a deep, bone-revealing wound in his abdomen, from which a large amount of blood gushed.

The Dongguo man, holding a short sword in his left hand with a reverse grip, inadvertently sliced ​​through the enemy's body, causing extremely serious damage.

Suddenly, a cold glint appeared.

Hoshiguma parried with the long sword in his right hand, and the gleaming dinner knife landed squarely on the blade—it was from Lady Rose.

Because of the lady's mysterious death, no one knew whether she had any fighting ability or her true strength. Therefore, Hoshiguma was extremely cautious when facing the Ursus people.

When the Ursus rapier in front turned around, Hoshiguma threw her short sword with all her might, hitting the opponent squarely in the chest, and the rapier fell backward.

At this moment, only she and Mrs. Rose remained on the second floor of the resort.

For no apparent reason, Hoshiguma felt a sudden pang of fear. Her honed combat instincts prompted her to make a defensive move, holding her longsword in front of her to block her heart.

when!

There was a loud bang.

Hoshiguma's vision went black, as if she had been hit by something heavy. Her arm holding the long sword went numb, and if she hadn't gripped it tightly, she probably would have dropped the sword.

What power is this? !

The Eastern Man's back slammed hard against the wall. He struggled to lift his head and saw two heavy door panels floating behind Lady Rose. The door panels must have been the ones that had hit her.

Fortunately, the swordsmith who forged the longsword was highly skilled, and the sword was not damaged by the parry.

But she probably wouldn't be able to defeat such an enemy by herself.

Lady Rose, in her high heels, her long evening gown trailing on the floor stained with red blood, left a horrifying red trail with every step she took.

Those who died Ursus were insignificant; she was the true embodiment of terror.

"Damn it, how was that woman killed back then?!"

Hoshiguma saw it clearly; one of the door panels was coming straight at her head. If she had been hit, it wouldn't have been as simple as just being paralyzed.

Lady Rose might be an illusion, but Hoshiguma isn't. She can't fight monsters with her own flesh and blood. If Hannya were in her possession, she could give it a try.

The woman from the East tumbled down the stairs in a disheveled state, managing to pick up the dagger stuck in the enemy's body. The door panel grazed her hair as it smashed against the wall, creating a hole in it.

……

Outside the Ursus-themed resort.

Lin Yuxia stared incredulously at the magnificent building. She had never heard of such a luxurious complex on the outer ring of Longmen. Wasn't this area only for outsiders?

"Miss Lin, what you see may not be the truth."
