I'm not a loser in love from Dimensional Adventurer

Blacksmith Lid recalled the scene he least wanted to remember, those twisted torsos clustered together in the shadows, as if the blood that would never drain dry was dripping down the skin.

Blacksmith Lid sat trembling on the chair. Although he had been untied a long time ago, he could not stand up. The uneasy memories made him shiver all over, and all the strength in his body was drained. After saying these words, he He couldn't even open and close his mouth again.

Alice shook his shoulders, calling Lid back to reality.Seeing that Leed had calmed down from his fear, they left the blacksmith shop.

Lid needs time to calm down, and Alice and her party also need time to sort out the information.

"At least we have the specific characteristics of the assassin."

"Yes, yes. We have to find a monster, and we have to make sure we don't die at its hands."

People with a lot of hands can no longer be called human beings, and the more they investigate before the whole thing, the more clues they give you that go beyond common sense.

"Is that line you saw still there?"

Caschia asked Ivan Bell this, and he was very concerned about what he could see from the judge who "came from the same school" as him.

"It's still there, and I think I should be able to find its source."

This sentence attracted everyone's attention, and they discussed it. Alice felt that it was too dangerous to chase directly. No one knew what was connected to the other end of this unknown line.

"We should report to the king first, and then ask for the king's assistance. Maybe those court mages can help."

"Alice, you are also a mage."

"so……?"

"You can't see that thread. Can other people see it? Even we can't see it!"

Alice was speechless. What Vician said was so reasonable that she couldn't refute it because she couldn't see.

"Um, let's at least try?"

"We really can't just go through it alone..."

"Who has any ideas?"

"Otherwise, let's ask the king for weapons, and then go find those mages. If they are free, take them with us."

Caschia made a modest proposal. He did not intend to bring too many people. If possible, he wanted to borrow a few elites from the king and then go into battle lightly.

The four people discussed for a while, and after determining that the plan was feasible, they headed towards the palace.

--------------------------------

Alice was already familiar with the way to the palace. The brooches they wore on their chests allowed them to freely enter and exit the gate in front of the palace.

The four of them climbed up to the tower, which had been used as a defensive tower in Vician's previous life, and he had suffered a lot from the arrows poured down from it by the archers.But now is the time of peace. Without war, the purpose of this tower's existence has changed from defense to residence.

The old king ordered that this tower be turned into the workshop of Master Jean. The wizards lived and worked here from that time on.

Alice walked up the stairs to the top of the tower. Before they could gain a firm foothold, a huge explosion swept over the two of them. Alice was knocked down by the ensuing air wave and almost rolled down the stairs.

It took a few minutes for the smoke to dissipate, and the explosion occurred exactly where Alice and the others planned to visit.

Alice and Ivan Bell worked together to push the fallen stone pillar away, and the trapped mage was able to escape.There were so many people suppressed like this that the entire palace mage group was basically wiped out.Alice herself had done the same thing in the spell class, but the explosion she caused was completely unable to destroy the entire room.

And this group of mages did it, which also made them face a very tragic fact: no one can escape the fate of staying in bed for repairs.

Alice's plan to seek help from the court mage had already failed before it was implemented. She sighed heavily in the background of a certain mage saying "My experiment can be saved a little more."

"Let's go find the king."

Alice found the king with her last hope, but found that the king's behavior was not optimistic either.Some residents had begun to notice that the Pope was a little "different" these days, so the king had to send more people to form a search team to speed up the investigation.

The entire kingdom was very busy, but at this moment, the news that the court mages committed suicide reached the king's ears.The poor old king's heart stopped on the spot and he fainted.

Now.When the king saw Alice walking over and her companions behind her, he almost cried with joy.As Vician's old rival, Aldric, as the king, naturally understands the opponent's strength.Faced with such a situation, he could only throw away face and ask for their help.

"So because of the lack of manpower, you want us to participate in the entire investigation? Including the pursuit?"

"Yes, please be sure to accept this commission."

She was still thinking of asking the king for help, but unexpectedly she was asked for help. Alice and Vician both had "you're kidding me" expressions on their faces.

In the end, they accepted the commission from the king. Firstly, they were too embarrassed to refuse, and secondly, their original intention was to follow the trace of the line.But most importantly, the king's offer was really, really impossible to refuse.

If they can complete the commission, then there will be a property in the imperial capital and a large bounty waiting for them!

Although the real estate is not of great use to Alice, she really wants the latter's bounty. After all, she has to complete her mission by traveling across the continent, so sufficient travel expenses are indispensable.

"We have taken it, please wait for our good news."

The reward made Alice's soul burn, and fire seemed to appear behind her.The others were not very interested. They were not short of money or housing, so they looked at each other, then shrugged and boarded the pirate ship.

——————————————————————————————————

Alice and her party of four came to the blacksmith shop again, and they followed Ivan Bell's footsteps to the wall.

Ivan Bell stared intently in the air. Those lines did not disappear after passing through the wall. They appeared on the other side, but they no longer looked as supple as they did that day.The line stretched intermittently into the distance.

Ivan Bell tried hard to follow the trace of the thread. The thread now began to appear in her mind. Even if she closed her eyes, she could feel the thread's existence.

"This way."

Ivan Bell led the team, and everyone remained silent along the way. They lined up quietly and walked through the imperial capital.

Chapter 30 Thread of Blood

"The smell of blood."

Ivan Bell suddenly said this while walking. As a half-vampire, she is extremely sensitive to blood.The thick smell of blood in the air made her frown.

She stopped and sniffed around. This smell of unknown origin was already there when she first started tracing the red line, but as she walked farther and farther, the smell became more and more lingering.

In Ivan Bell's eyes, those red lines had been mixed together, forming a shape similar to a whirlpool.As long as Ivan Bell stares at this "whirlpool", he will feel like he is being sucked in.Her body, which had a lower body temperature than ordinary people, seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and the cold spread throughout her body.

In addition, strange sounds are playing back over and over in Ivan Bell's mind.The sound of objects being torn apart and the screams of humans tormented her.

She quickly closed her eyes and drove this indescribable thing out of her sight.This worked. When Ivan Bell stopped looking at the red thread, all the effects on her disappeared, her breathing gradually calmed down, and her body temperature returned to normal levels.

"Follow me."

Ivan Bell planned to keep her eyes closed for the rest of the way. She was not worried that she would go the wrong way. After all, although the smell of blood was annoying, it still guided her in the direction of progress.

Alice was following Ivan Bell. She felt something strange about Ivan Bell, and she held Ivan Bell's hand comfortingly.Ivan Bell nodded slightly to her and pulled her forward.

——————————————————————————————————

Ivan Bell led his companions out to the suburbs of the imperial capital, to a residence not far from the Earl's Mansion.

When they came here, Ivan Bell could no longer smell the smell of blood. Vician and Caschia pushed open the door of the residence. Ivan Bell opened his eyes and subconsciously stopped Alice. behind.

Alice was blocked by Evan Bell, and she couldn't see clearly what was behind the open door. She wanted to stand on tiptoe to take a look, but Evan Bell turned around and pushed her back.

"what!"

But the moment Ivan Bell turned around, she still saw the two corpses that were almost torn in half and fell against the wall. Although she couldn't see the whole body, she couldn't help but imagine them. The face of horror before death.

"Close your eyes, you shouldn't see this."

"No, I... I'm fine."

Alice removed Ivan Bell's hand from her eyes. Although she was very grateful for the other party's actions, she decided to muster the courage to face everything that would happen.

Far away from the two girls, Vician and Caschia had already entered the house. They closed the door to isolate the tragedy that had happened from the two people outside the house.

"You're as protective of me as they are."

"But I also want to help, so let me go."

Ivan Bell was a little hesitant. Seeing her hesitant to speak, Alice plucked up the courage to pull her and knock on the door.Caschia was a little surprised when he opened the door. He thought Alice would stay where she was.

"Are you sure you want to come in?"

"Well, let me in."

"The scene inside is a bit tragic, is that okay?"

"no problem!"

Alice raised her head. She was embarrassed by the current situation of being protected by her companions. Now that we have become companions, shouldn't we advance and retreat together?

She thought that since the other party didn't realize that it was wrong to do so, then it would be better to let herself take this step.

Alice began to answer Caschia's questions over and over again. Even Ivan Bell began to be unable to stand his "old mother" attribute. After starting to speak for Alice, Caschia allowed Alice to enter the house.

"Ask it beforehand, don't force yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, go out immediately, Ivan Bell! You too!"

"I understand, Mom."

"Yes, open the door quickly."

Caschia looked at the two young girls and sighed, and no longer did anything to stop them. He opened the door and let the light from outside illuminate everything inside.

Vician looked back. He had no problem with Alice joining. He understood that Alice would never stay out of the situation, and the young man would always see the dark side at some point. ,

"Hey! You don't mind your shoes getting stained, do you? You saw it too, it's everywhere here... you know."

Alice glanced at the ground. Indeed, there was almost no place to set foot in the entire house.So she simply stepped across the blood pool and came to Wei Xi'an's side.

"Wow, I will remember to remind you to change your shoes when I get back."

"Maybe we'll all have to change our shoes when we get back."

"Makes sense."

Alice was somewhat grateful for Vician's ability to maintain humor in such a scene. Not to mention whether it was appropriate or not, but at least it made her feel less depressed.

She stood next to Vician, helping him check the body in front of him. After Caschia and Ivan Bell saw that they had formed a team, they consciously went to check the other body.

Alice tore off the clothes stuck to the corpse's skin, which made the already horrific wounds look even more horrific.

The person lying on the ground seemed to have been grabbed from behind, and then his chest was torn open by several opponents.Alice didn't have to think about who the murderer was. They followed the red thread all the way to here, and the pairs of scratches on the body that were torn by hands could undoubtedly lead to the only answer: They wanted to find the person who had come here. here.

"These were all done by the 'strange hand man'."

"Well... let's see what else we can find. Turn him over for me, one, two, okay."

Man with Strange Hands, this was the name they gave the assassin on the road. This name was very appropriate for the man's strange appearance.

Alice and Vician turned the corpse over together. The back of the corpse was not much better. Under the clothes that were soaked in black and red with blood, there was a protrusion standing there.

Alice raised her eyebrows and stretched out her hand to poke it. The protrusion was so hard that it made a sound when she tapped it with her fingers.
