Nightmare's Call

After glancing at the alarm clock, Lin Sheng quickly got up.

He wanted to go to the Ironfist Society to practice holy power and meditate.

His parents and sister were at home these days, so it was not convenient for him to practice at home. After all, once the practice started, it could not be interrupted, or all the previous work would be wasted.

Now, apart from meditating on the Ashen Seal, he was also desperately practicing the holy power...

It made his power accumulate three times faster!

...

In the port area.

Xie Qiaoyue sat on the ground, and the coins kept dropping from the purse she was holding.

Normally, she would have screamed and grabbed all the coins at once. But right now, she couldn’t calm down.

Looking at a body lying on the ground before her, she pointed at a dark blue sea hawk standing on her bedroom windowsill, speechless.

“Scared?” The sea hawk carefully arranged the feathers on its body, gently flapping its wing.

Some fine powder flew out and landed on the wound on the body.

Soon the body began to dissolve and evaporate, turning into wisps of white steam and disappearing into the air. Only some pieces of clothes was left.

“This is the third time!” Xie Qiaoyue said angrily. She knew it wasn’t an accident. Someone must be watching her.

“It’s someone from my family. They’re looking for me,” said the sea hawk coldly. “You’d better make up your mind as soon as possible. They’ll be after us again soon. I saw someone else coming just now. My injury is severe, I can only use a little power now. And if I keeping using my magic, they’ll find something unusual and know I’m nearby.”

“The best thing you can do now is to go to the dock and get a ship out of here. With any luck, under my guidance, we shall meet a fleet of ships sailing from Miga to Olro!” The sea hawk’s voice was serious and urgent.

Xie Qiaoyue also understood the situation, but she did not want to leave here. She had been living here for more than 20 years. Although she had been away for some time, she was still familiar with everything here.

Although the port area was known as the most chaotic district, in her eyes, it was a place where spheres of influence, strong or weak, were clearly divided.

After a moment of silence.

“No... Let’s go to the Ironfist Society!!” Xie Qiaoyue said seriously. “The Ironfist Society is very strong! They’ll get rid of the weirdo coming after us! As long as I sneak into the Ironfist Society, I’ll be safe!”

“Are you crazy? The Ironfist Society is just an ordinary organization! It was filled with ordinary people. Even if they do have some strength, there is no chance to fight against the transcendent!” The sea hawk was worried.

“The strongest thing we have here is the Ironfist Society. I think they can protect us!” Xie Qiaoyue nodded to herself.

“The chairman of the Ironfist Society is a super-strong man who can kick the head like a ball! He needs to drink three cups of virgin blood every day! I heard that he slept every night with his eyes open, and he would kill anyone who came near. So no one in the Ironfist Society has ever seen him sleep, because those who have seen him sleep are dead!” Xie Qiaoyue said seriously in a low voice.

“Where did you hear all this crap...!? I’ve told you these rumors aren’t true!” The sea hawk was kinda speechless.

This girl seemed quiet and obedient, but when she fell into her own delusion, she went on her own way, completely deaf to the opinions of others.

It was a mistake to entrust its soul to the girl!!

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll go first. Your goal is too big, you don’t have to come with me!” Xie Qiaoyue got up decisively, and she began to pack up her clothes and food.

“My soul is in you! If you die, I can’t live either, you idiot! Hey, are you listening!!!” The sea hawk exploded in anger.

“Which way to go? And I have to figure out how to get in...”

Xie Qiaoyue didn’t listen to what the sea hawk was saying. Carrying the bag, she rushed out of the bedroom door and rummaged through the kitchen.

A short time later, a girl and a bird rushed out of the house and ran to the Ironfist Society in the Blackwater district.

Soon, just minutes after they left the house, a bloody red figure walked into the community and looked straight at the house where Xie Qiaoyue lived.

“They ran away?” The blood-red figure frowned slightly.

The moonlight illuminated his appearance. It was a strange man who had no skin and all the muscles and tendons under his skin could be seen.

Two men in casual leather jackets approached him from left and right, bowing respectfully.

“Mr. Yamodell, the target is heading for Blackwater district, and we’ve lost the men we sent to stop them. Probably killed.”

“It’s okay, that kind of mercenary, we can buy at any time.” The weird man did not care at all.

“She probably wanted to escape, and it’s a good choice to escape here by ship.”

The two men exchanged a look and continued to bow their heads without making a sound.

“I’ll go myself. Don’t follow me. I don’t want to scare them. I don’t believe that they’ll make it this time!” The weird man sneered, turned and marched away into the darkness.

“Yes, sir.”

....

....

At Blackwater district.

Opposite the Ironfist Society, in a narrow alley.

Xie Qiaoyue looked at the building in front of her. “This is the primary school I went to... How nostalgic.”

“I can only block them one more time, and then I’ll run out of energy. Don’t die,” the sea hawk stood on the head of Xie Qiaoyue and said clearly.

“Rest assured, this is Ironfist Society’s territory. We’re safe here!” Xie Qiaoyue was very sure.

“Safe? There’s no transcendent around. How safe can we be?” The sea hawk looked speechless.

In order to survive, it signed a Soul Core Contract with Xie Qiaoyue and now they shared one life.

And lately, it had made every effort to correct Xie Qiaoyue’s timid character.

But...

Looking at Xie Qiaoyue standing at the door of the Ironfist Society, pretending to read the requirements of joining the society but dared not enter, the sea hawk felt like weeping.
