Chapter 95 The Price of Stealing the Shadow

But Chloe hesitated for a moment, and still didn't touch the key first.

Although I don't know if this key has any early warning function... But just in case, it's better to take it away at the end.

The closer to victory, the calmer Chloe became.I began to think about various possibilities in my heart, thinking about my omissions and mistakes.

After a quiet review, it was confirmed that there were no loopholes.

Aiwass was also really drunk, and there was nothing unusual about his various behaviors in his sleep.

So she stepped forward boldly.He took out a dark red lipstick from his pocket, and gently applied it to himself.

The basic ability to adapt to the path is the resistance to poison and disease, the higher the level, the stronger it is.Because of this, they can devour large amounts of herbs without worrying about side effects, or eat any visible creatures in the wild to supplement energy and nutrition.Many poisons are useless to themselves, but useful to others.Through this cognitive difference, the ability to adapt to Dao's assassination is very strong.

And as a member of the "Eagle Eye" organization, she can know the production methods of various secret poisons and cursed poisons from the organization.In addition to applying this paste-like venom to the "Eagle Feather" throwing knife, she also made them into a lipstick that is easy to carry and hide, and is triggered with a deadly kiss.

Of course, this doesn't really make any sense.It's just a bad taste of hers... If I have to say it, a kiss is always lighter than putting lipstick on the other party.But in fact, what she really wants to do is just "kiss".

The kiss that quietly takes someone's life gives people a romantic and charming feeling.As if he was a legendary succubus or banshee.There is a sense of ceremony.

But now that Chloe thinks about it... Maybe he was inclined towards the path of love from the very beginning.The habit of this road is actually constantly strengthening the compatibility of her own path of love, but she herself has never been aware of it.It was only now that she really realized how strong her desire was.

It's as if she always dresses herself up in clothes that are a bit too revealing and conspicuous for Avalonians.This seems a bit too high-profile for an assassin.

She has always disguised herself as a believer in the path of beauty, but perhaps she is more suitable for the path of love.It's a pity that Iris's path of love is completely controlled by Moon Son, and she may be able to leave the organization, but it is absolutely impossible to become Moon Son—otherwise she will be found and killed by her colleagues.

—but it doesn't matter.

When I get this sacred weapon, I will have the confidence to negotiate with the organization.

After putting on lipstick for herself, Chloe looked at Aiwass who was sleeping soundly and smelled of alcohol, and smiled.

...Looking carefully, although he looked quite irritating before, this young man still looks quite handsome now.

Then kiss him, I'm not bad.

She leaned down and kissed Aiwass lightly - but for some reason, she could only bend halfway.

She could already smell the faint smell of alcohol exhaled from the mouth of the sleeping Aiwass, as well as the smell of the opposite sex exuding from him.But her waist seemed to be anesthetized, and she maintained this strenuous movement, unable to move at all.

"-Have you had enough trouble?"

A cold female voice sounded in her mind.

Judging from her voice and tone, she looks like a strong and proud mature woman.

— not Aiwass's personal maid.

Damn, is there someone else ambushing in this room? !

Chloe woke up in an instant, subconsciously melted into a shadow, broke free from the shackles of unknown origin, and sneaked into the shadow of Aiwass.

But it’s different from every shadow sneak before——

Or, just like the last time she sneaked into Aiwass' shadow.A great, extremely strong sense of fear gripped her heart.

— but she had no time to escape.

The shadow that used to move freely was now as cold and solid as frozen ice.

It was as if she threw herself into a cage and froze herself in ice.

And that cold voice mocked in her ear: "You little thief who stole the power of shadows, you really trust this power..."

At this moment, Chloe only felt dizzy.

When she regained her eyesight, she saw Aiwass lying on the bed far away.

And my perspective...

——It was like being sealed in a mirror!
And the "other self" who looks almost exactly the same as himself, except that his hair color and pupil color are pure black, stands at his position just now, looking at Chloe in the mirror with a sneer.

She slowly "approached" the mirror and came closer - her "walking" was just a movement, but she was actually floating over.As she walks, half of her feet blend into the ground.And her body did not fluctuate due to walking, but emitted a faint black smoke.

In the mirror, Chloe's body is completely out of control.She was forced to perform exactly the same movements as her self outside the mirror, approaching the "other self" that terrified her.

After the "other self" got closer, Chloe noticed... Her pupils and hair were not black, but nothingness flowing continuously.It's not the kind of black that can reflect light and make hair visible, but "doesn't exist".

Her skin is also as fair as a ghost, showing an almost translucent texture... Only the clothes on her body are solid.

--Who are you?

Chloe wanted to speak, but couldn't even open her mouth.It was as if he had really turned into a reflection.

But the self outside the mirror seemed to hear his own voice, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile.

But at this time, the self who was sealed in the mirror did not make the same movement at the same time.

In the mirror, Chloe still had short, caramel-colored curly hair.Fear visible to the naked eye appeared on her face, and her pretty face was distorted.

"The follower of the Lord of Scales and Feathers, the thief who stole the scales of fish and the feathers of birds... Now, don't you even remember who your power comes from?"

She laughed, stretched out her slender white fingers, and slid gently on Chloe's cheek.

click -

Chloe seemed to hear a hallucination.As if her soul had been cut, there was an unspeakable pain - a crack was cut in her mirror image, but she couldn't utter a word.

Her mind went blank with pain, but soon the word flooded into her heart—

—Who does your strength come from?

It's Shadow Demon!
...Is there a Shadow Fiend in Aiwass' shadow? !

How can it be!

But...if this is true...

At that moment, she understood everything.

Why Aiwass can see himself, why he is not afraid of himself at all, why he feels great fear when he enters Aiwass' shadow...

And she also understood that what Aiwass said at the banquet was just a trap and disguise to lure herself!

—What a priest, what a hero!It's all fake!

He is not a good thing at all - it is absolutely impossible for a demon scholar who can make a contract with a high-ranking demon to be so young!
This must be an extremely powerful demon scholar who worked part-time on the Twilight Path, reincarnated into Aiwass, and stole his identity and body!
At that moment, regret hit her heart.

If given another chance, she would never provoke Aiwass!

But it was too late.

It is absolutely impossible for her to escape from the shadow demon!

The strength to adapt to the path comes from imitating others.Whether it is poison, precognition, invisibility, regeneration or other abilities, they all come from the imitation of other life in nature.And her shadow stealth skill is the ability built by the predecessors of the Hawkeye organization by imitating the "shadow demon".

However, that was a pirated version after all, they couldn't really catch a Shadow Demon to imitate its talent.This is just a weakened version of ability built through observation and imagination.

Only now did she know that Shadow Demon's manipulation of "Shadow" actually included mirror images!
Rather than saying that this was the only way to catch her, it would be better to say that the Shadow Demon had already caught her, and then specially performed for her how a real Shadow Demon hunts...

"I don't mind if you copy its talent from one of my kin. But you use it so ugly, it's like a toad is singing and a donkey is dancing. I feel like an elephant is running from the top of my head. It's too loud..."

Shadow Demon's voice was full of malice, and Chloe realized more and more clearly that Shadow Demon's voice was gradually approaching her own—from that arrogant and mature female voice to her honey-like Charming voice.

"Also, more importantly - the master's shadow, that belongs to my territory."

Her voice was soft but cold, through the mirror, her slender fingers grasped the neck of the person in the mirror: "You have crossed the line, little thief.

"If it weren't for the kindness of the master, I would have torn you to pieces. Fortunately, the snake father protected you, and you dared to come back.

"You are even stupid enough to want to kill my master—who do you think you are? So weak, yet so confident..."

In the mirror, Chloe was suffering endlessly, her whole body was constantly corroded by shadows.The edge of the floor-to-ceiling mirror gradually oozes blood, as if this is not a solid mirror, but an iron maiden that is gradually closing.

And before Chloe lost consciousness, Shadow Demon's voice sounded in her heart: "If you copy mine, then I will copy yours too. It just so happens that I still lack a skin suitable for human aesthetics.

"Since you are trying to steal the shadow... your voice and your face are now mine.

"In human terms, this should be called debt settlement."

As he spoke, Shadow Demon touched the mirror with his fingers and gave her a big X: "You are now insolvent, miss."

In an instant, Chloe's cracked soul was completely torn apart by the Shadow Fiend's nails.

Until the next day, Aiwass woke up groggy, but he was not awakened by the shadow demon.

This was what he had agreed with Shadow Demon before, to quietly kill the assassin.There is no need to wake him up if there is nothing special.

This is also his expression of his trust in Shadow Demon.

"How was last night?"

The first time he woke up, he asked in his heart: "What is her last words?"

Aiwass was not worried that Shadow Demon would let her go.

Because when he woke up, the pop-up window had already appeared in front of his eyes:

[Kill the fourth-level transcendent, gain 120 free experience]

It's about a hundred lower than the Crooked Limbo, but the experience I have delivered to my door is enough.Counting the unused experience of Aiwass before, his free experience already has 364 points.In this way, after advancing to Demon Scholar at the beginning of the month, Aiwass can continue to advance at the beginning of next month-in just two months, he can directly climb to the third energy level!
What restricts Aiwass now is instead the cooling time of the ceremony.Of course, in order to prevent the overflow of experience, it is better to read the book normally, and finally use the free experience to make up the level.

Can save a little is a little!
Aiwass was just a little worried - Shadow Demon wouldn't tear up and corrode everything on her body, right?

"I remember I told you that all the equipment that can be kept on her is left... Where did you put it?"

He pressed, "Also. Didn't the floor get dirty?"

"She had no last words, and she died without saying a word. She only regretted offending you."

And Shadow Demon's voice was different from yesterday, more human-like than yesterday, and sounded from the bottom of his heart: "The booty is on the sofa next to it, all of them are there, master... As for her blood, I also ate it." .will leave no trace."

Aiwass looked along the past - really.

The clothes were neatly folded, arranged in an orderly manner and by category.It's like taking it off and putting it there.Very complete with no damage at all.

"...Lily has been here?"

Aiwass' first reaction was, did Lily come over and set it up?

But he quickly realized - he had already reminded Lily last night, not to call him today.She will not enter her room without authorization.

This Shadow Demon... is quite organized?
