Chapter 499 New Character Appearance
(Three Months Later, Dark Alley, Rainy Night)
Chu Ziyu's boot heels crushed the neon lights reflected in the puddles, and the hem of his black windbreaker swept across the damp brick wall. He turned a silver coin between his fingertips, and the edge of the coin was stained with fresh blood - from the target whose neck was twisted three minutes ago.
“The 17th one.” He counted to 6872 in his mind. “The cleanup team sent by the old man is getting more and more perfunctory.”
The system screen flashed: "Boss, there is a holy power fluctuation 200 meters to the southeast! Wait... is it Lin Ci'an?!"
Chu Ziyu shook his wrist and the silver coin fell into the sewage.
He pressed hard on his left abdomen - there was a piercing wound that had not yet healed, and it was now causing a sharp pain. The holy light thread that Lin Ci'an had stitched with his own hands three months ago was burning under the skin.
(The Son's Mark is on alert)
He suddenly chuckled and kicked the silver coin into the sewer: "It came so quickly..."
When he turned around, his windbreaker raised a sharp arc, revealing two short blades at his waist - new weapons, with the same runes as the Son of God's Scepter engraved on the blade edges.
From the alley came the sound of boots crushing water.
Chu Ziyu leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette, the scarlet light illuminating the bruises under his eyes that had not yet healed.
Three months of rest did not make his complexion much better. Instead, he looked even paler due to continuous missions.
"Your Highness," he said into the smoke, "peeping is not a good habit."
The holy white robe pierced through the rain curtain. Lin Ci'an stood at the entrance of the alley holding a gold-studded cane, his emerald pupils glowing coldly in the dark. He glanced at the cigarette between Chu Ziyu's fingers and frowned slightly.
"Is your injury healed?" The Son of God's voice was colder than the rain.
Chu Ziyu blew out a smoke ring and deliberately let the sparks fall on the back of his hand: "You have been watching it for three months... What do you think?"
He shook his left wrist, where a thin silver chain was wrapped - the holy light inhibitor that Lin Ci'an had given him was jingling with his movements.
(The system suddenly alerted: "Darkness value fluctuates! 30%...40%...dropped again?!")
Lin Ci'an suddenly approached, and put his cane against his chest: "Have I ever said..." The tip of the cane slid down to his waist and abdomen, "If you get hurt again, I will lock you up in the temple?"
Chu Ziyu groaned. The tip of the stick pressed accurately against the edge of his gauze, and the wetness immediately penetrated the fabric - the wound split.
"Lock it." He smiled wildly, his bloody fangs rubbing against his lower lip, "Use the gold chain in your bedroom..."
The words stopped abruptly.
Holy light suddenly burst out from Lin Ci'an's cane, and the rain curtains on both sides of the alley instantly evaporated into mist.
Chu Ziyu was pressed against the wall, with the Son of God’s cold palm resting on the back of his head, and he could taste the familiar breath of holy light on his lips.
(System 6872: "Darkness value 25%! Boss, you... Ugh!" was manually blocked)
The smell of blood spread between the intertwined breaths.
Chu Ziyu dug his fingertips into the folds of the holy robe on Lin Ci'an's lower back and felt the old scar hidden under the fabric - it was left by the Holy Son when he took the blame for him in the forbidden land incident three months ago.
"Come back after the mission is completed." Lin Ci'an bit his ear, "Now."
Chu Ziyu looked at the gray-robed afterimage that flashed by the alley, and raised the corners of his mouth at an angle that the Son of God could not see.
(The fish is hooked)
He opened his collar to reveal the brand on his heart, which was a strange blue-black color. "I'm afraid... I have to act again."
Deep in the rain, the chief judge's eyes tightly grasped the recording crystal.
(Rainy Night - Tribunal's Secret Base)
The gray-robed spy stumbled into the dark room, and the recording crystal in his hand reflected a blurry picture - Chu Ziyu was pressed against the wall and kissed by the Son of God, and the black lines on the brand were wriggling strangely.
"My Lord!" He knelt on the ground, "The forbidden technique on the traitor backfired... is..."
Before he could utter the fake word, his neck was twisted and broken. Only then did he see clearly that the person in the dark room was not an adult at all.
The crystal lamp suddenly lit up, illuminating the person who took action——
