Ayanokouji had previously considered whether to bring guards to the slums to increase his chances of winning against Elsa. However, the risk would be greater if Elsa was indeed scouting ahead.
In the slums, it was highly likely that Elsa would be alerted and could escape early, causing endless trouble. Therefore, Ayanokouji decided to rely on himself, Emilia, and others to face the Bowel Hunter.
They soon arrived near Rom's house door. A few minutes later, Felt also returned after exchanging secret codes with Rom through the door, which slowly opened, and everyone entered.
Ayanokouji looked around. Inside was a very spacious warehouse with various props, weapons, jewelry, and armor.
It could be said that everything was available. He remembered that Rom's place was where some thieves in the slums stored stolen goods. For Ayanokouji, this was the perfect arsenal.
If he could prepare weapons in advance, Elsa's threat to him would be greatly reduced.
"Who are they?"
Rom noticed the presence of Ayanokouji and the others and asked warily. However, seeing that Felt was not hostile to these people, he knew that they were not enemies.
"Hello, my name is Emilia, and I am a candidate for the throne this time." Emilia said politely, simultaneously removing her hood, revealing her long silver hair like a bright galaxy.
"Candidate for the throne?"
Rom's face was full of doubt, not knowing why the other party had come to this place. His expression gradually became serious, and he turned to Felt, wondering what trouble she had caused: "Felt, what have you done!?"
Felt then told Rom everything that had happened today.
After listening, Rom's dark brown face turned purple with anger: "Felt, you have truly brought disaster!"
"I didn't know the employer actually asked me to do something like this. I thought he just wanted me to steal an ordinary badge. I didn't expect the real target was a candidate for the throne."
Feeling wronged, Felt muttered a little.
"Really." Rom shook his head.
He quickly understood the situation and knew that now he and Felt were indeed in the same boat as Ayanokouji and Emilia.
Felt was considered his daughter and in danger, so Rom could only ask for help, "What should we do now?"
"Just follow the normal transaction process." After Ayanokouji finished speaking, he turned to Emilia, "Lady Emilia, please take out the badge, so you can deceive that person."
"Yes."
Emilia did not hesitate much. She also wanted to know who was targeting her, and then handed the badge to Felt again.
"You must act as naturally as possible, and also follow my instructions when the time comes – comply unconditionally without hesitation."
Ayanokouji's face showed no expression, and his tone was very calm, but to Felt, it sounded very heavy because it was closely related to the lives of herself and Rom.
"We cannot rule out the possibility that the other party has more weapons or forces, so we also need to prepare enough weapons and set other traps in case you need them."
While speaking, Ayanokouji's eyes swept over everyone.
Puck and Emilia had to be the main force against Elsa.
Felt was agile, and with the support of Emilia and Puck, she could play a role in holding off Elsa and would be a good human shield to attract Elsa's attacks.
As long as Emilia was not injured, it didn't matter whether the others lived or died, especially Rom. His current value was only to provide them with weapons and props and serve as a human shield. It didn't matter if he died in battle.
"Felt, your employer this time will most likely silence you later, and he is definitely not an easy person, so don't show mercy at a critical moment." Ayanokouji said slowly, trying to dispel Felt's worries.
"You have no way out."
"Yes." Felt nodded, with a determined look in her eyes.
Now she basically believed Ayanokouji's words and knew she had no choice.
"Let me use this for now."
Ayanokouji took a bow from the warehouse wall. He had already realized in his last regression that he had no chance of winning in close combat with Elsa. It meant relying on Emilia and Puck; he only needed to play a supporting role.
Having undergone inhumane special training in the White Room since childhood, he could be said to have mastered every skill in the real world to proficiency, including archery, and even surpassed the level of an Olympic champion.
"Also, is there any poison here?" Ayanokouji asked slowly.
The camera panned, and in the blink of an eye, it was already late afternoon, still some distance from night. Although the sky outside was still bright, it wouldn't take long for the sky to quickly turn gloomy.
At this time, a sharp sound was heard from outside Rom's door. It was the sound of sharp high heels stepping on the ground.
A few seconds later, a familiar black figure entered Rom's warehouse—Bowel Hunter Elsa.
Felt and Rom exchanged glances and couldn't help but swallow. Although they still didn't know the identity of the person in front of them, judging from Ayanokouji's previous warnings, the woman with the extremely beautiful face was probably someone terrifying who came to silence them.
As she thought about this, Felt's heartbeat accelerated.
At this time, Ayanokouji and Emilia had already ambushed around the warehouse.
This warehouse was relatively large, and the scattered stolen goods and cabinets gave them space to hide.
Emilia hid behind a cabinet, slightly turning to observe Elsa's appearance through a gap. At this moment, she was a little confused. She had never seen this face before.
Which faction did the other party belong to?
Elsa squinted her eyes and stared at Felt, with a harmless yet meaningful smile on her face: "Have you found what I want?"
"Yes, I got it." Felt nodded quickly and led Elsa to the table.
After the two sat down, she handed the badge to Elsa, who inspected it and then nodded slightly.
At the same time, Rom brought a cup of hot tea for Elsa: "Guest, please enjoy."
He added a large amount of anesthetic to the tea, and the other party would soon lose consciousness. This was Ayanokouji's instruction. If the other party drank it, they could definitely capture Elsa alive without bloodshed.
"I am very grateful." Elsa took the hot tea and looked at the steaming tea in the cup. The white mist rolled, and the smile on her face became clearer.
"Now, where is the reward?" Felt asked, and Elsa also took out a small purse from her clothes.
The sacred gold coins inside clashed and rubbed against each other, making a sharp sound. She opened the purse, and a bright golden light emitted from it.
Seeing the sacred gold coins inside, Felt couldn't help but lean forward, light flashing in her eyes like an owl at night seeing a fish. It would be great if the woman in front of her just took the badge and did nothing, so the fight could be avoided.
But at the moment she was about to take the purse, a sharp cold light and a sudden burst of killing intent pierced Felt.
She was initially a little wary, and her original reaction was very quick, and her skills were excellent, so she pulled her hand back at the first opportunity and took a step back.
The oddly shaped machete sliced the purse in half, and the gold coins inside spilled out like the intestines of a deceased person.
"Did you actually dodge? You are indeed on guard."
Elsa always smiled, while Felt, who was a few meters away, broke into a cold sweat, her heartbeat accelerated, and she could almost clearly hear her heartbeat.
The wind caused by the sharp blade blew directly onto her body. Even if her body had leaned forward a few centimeters or if she had reacted half a second slower, blood might have splattered on the spot.
This made Felt realize that Ayanokouji's previous words were indeed true. The person in front of her really wanted to kill her, and she felt lucky for being on guard.
"You!"
Rom on the side saw this scene, then took the stick and slammed it directly towards Elsa's position.
The strong power of the giant race shattered the hard wooden table in an instant, and the sharp wooden fragments flew like bullets, but it did not hurt Elsa at all.
She just turned like dancing in the air, her cloak spread like bat wings, and she always had a calm smile on her face.
"This is the first time I've fought against the giant race. I wonder what giant intestines taste like?"
And at the moment Elsa leaped into the air, Emilia, who was hiding in the corner of the bookshelf, also rushed out at this time and launched an attack while Elsa was in the air. All of this was according to Ayanokouji's plan.
Ayanokouji had observed Elsa's movements and fighting style during his last regression, so he arranged for Rom to launch an attack when Elsa revealed her true face.
With Elsa's skill, she could easily avoid the opponent's attack, but with the mentality of toying with her prey, she would definitely not choose to simply dodge but rather choose a more fancy move to toy with her prey.
This gave Emilia a chance to launch a sneak attack!
Emilia and Puck simultaneously created countless ice breakers, which were launched at Elsa's location like raindrops.
But Elsa was not an ordinary person.
She predicted Emilia's attack beforehand like a prophet and dodged Emilia's attack with extremely strange body techniques and postures that ordinary people could not perform.
"You dodged?!"
Emilia was a bit upset for missing an important opportunity to attack, but Elsa landed on the ground gracefully, like a dancer who had just finished a performance.
Emilia and Puck immediately rushed towards Elsa to confront her. Felt also drew her weapon and joined Rom in encircling Elsa.
"How could you dodge such an attack?"
Felt bit her lip, filled with doubt. She couldn't understand how Elsa had avoided Emilia's attack as if she had predicted it beforehand.
But Elsa always had a smile on her face, as if the three of them were just her playmates.
"Your scent is too clear, like the fear emanating from you."
Her eyes narrowed, and her golden-purple eyes stared at Felt with a dangerous look. As an elite assassin with vampire blood, she could sharply detect a person's emotions through their body, and when she looked at Felt, the slight fear and nervousness in her heart were already visible.
"And the young woman hiding behind the cabinet. The hostility in your body is very clear." As she spoke, Elsa licked her blood-red lips as if tasting something. When she entered the warehouse, she knew Emilia was hiding here.
But at this moment, Elsa still had doubts in her heart about why Felt and Emilia had teamed up to attack her.
Felt was just a small thief in the slums. She had generously employed her, so the girl had no reason to betray her, and Emilia had no reason to collaborate with her. Judging by their performance, it seemed like everything had been rehearsed beforehand.
Could her identity and purpose have been exposed?
