When Chloe advanced, she devoted almost all of her path characteristics to "Shadow Affinity."

The first level of shadow affinity can only make you less conspicuous when you are in the shadows; or it can reduce your sense of presence when your face is blocked by shadows.

Starting from the second level, shadow affinity can begin to interfere with reality.

After Chloe enhanced her shadow affinity to the second level, she could mix the power of shadow attributes into her daggers and arrows. This is because the power of shadow has penetrated into the mysterious art of "assassination".

Starting from the third level, the power of shadow has penetrated into the "stealth" professional ability.

Now she can completely escape into the shadows.

Because generally no one would specifically choose Shadow Affinity, which is a useless early-stage characteristic of the Path, so an ability that needs to be adapted to the Path and requires third-level Shadow Affinity as a threshold to barely acquire is undoubtedly quite rare.

Skill. At least most people in Avalon won't know this secret.

Even among "Eagle Eyes", not many people master this skill.

This cognitive gap is undoubtedly fatal.

But after all, she is not the legendary "Shadow Demon" and cannot melt into the shadows at will. If she wants to maintain her shadow state, she must continue to maintain concentration and continue to consume physical strength and energy.

If her hidden shadow is destroyed, she will also be hurt. For a person who walks too fast, the shadow environment under her feet will change too quickly, which will also consume too much of her physical strength and make her tired. If the other person happens to walk

If she goes under the light and makes the shadow very small, she may also fail to sneak.

However, all disadvantages do not affect the power of this skill.

Combined with extraordinary equipment that reduces the sense of presence, she can make other people not notice her shadow at all. So far, she has used this skill to kill many people silently. She has even used this skill to hide under layers of protection.

Sneaked into the bedroom of a congressman, killed him, and then hid in the shadow. When the guard came to check the situation, he followed the guard's shadow and left.

After using this skill many times, Chloe already has some experience.

Hiding in a shadow with shape and stability, the larger the area, the less physical and energy is consumed.

So Chloe found a perfect hiding spot.

——That's right under the wheelchair Aiwass is sitting on.

When the wheelchair moves forward, its shadow area will basically not change. Therefore, she can always hide in it with almost no effort. Even if Inspector Edward or Detective Sherlock comes later, they will not go to the "murderer"

"Hiding under Aiwass" is considered in this direction.

This is the so-called darkness under the lamp.

And after Aiwass goes to bed at night, she can quietly crawl out from the shadow under the wheelchair and kill Aiwass.

This is just in case and to reduce variables.

She really didn't understand how Aiwass guessed her actions.

At best, Aiwass can guess that the Minister of Trade is related to the Noble Red Society, but the people in the society are in the same group as the secretary, so it is unnecessary and impossible to kill him; even if Aiwass knows "Eagle Feather", he knows "

He shouldn't think about the existence of the "Eagle Eye" organization - no one will know their true purpose and mission, everything is hidden in the shadows.

And Aiwass could even say, "The other party may have put the documents in the book." It was as if he had seen it all with his own eyes.

horrible.

Can't understand. Can't figure it out.

Isn't he a natural prophet who can predict the future?

But Chloe is an open-minded person and doesn't cause trouble for herself. She usually doesn't think about things that she really can't understand.

——Since I can’t figure it out, let’s get rid of the unstable factor Aiwass tonight.

Then I'll use your shadow to hide for a while, and then I'll stab you in the dead of night.

No one would know that she did it. Even if they knew, it would be useless.

Thinking like this, Chloe turned into a creeping shadow and bumped into the shadow of a supervisor who was about to go downstairs. When he passed Aiwass, he followed his shadow and climbed to Aiwass' wheelchair.

below.

But just then.

But Chloe suddenly felt a great, extremely strong fear.

This kind of fear and avoidance of dangerous things is her power to adapt to the road. Whenever she goes deep into danger without knowing it, the power of adapting to the road will turn into a kind of "fear" and try to save her.

she.

...But, what exactly is it?

Chloe's common sense told her that she must not go out at this time. Otherwise, she would become the target of public criticism when she suddenly appeared from Aiwass' side, and it would be difficult for her to escape from the surrounding air cavalry outside.

But the feeling of fear became more and more intense, making Chloe's whole brain numb and her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

If anyone looks at the shadow cast by Aiwass' wheelchair at this time, he will find that his shadow is constantly shaking slightly as if he is sitting in front of the fireplace.

At this moment, Aiwass suddenly seemed to be lost in thought. He held his chin with his right hand and looked ahead intently.

Then under Chloe's peek, he nodded thoughtfully.

——Then, he lowered his head and looked at his own shadow.

A pair of blue pupils are as calm as water and as deep as an abyss.

Looking down at those eyes, Chloe felt terrified for a moment.

Is this the crisis warning I gave you earlier?

Wouldn't he guess himself again?

Realizing this possibility, the fear in her heart was almost overwhelmed by shock and confusion.

Why?

How could he guess that I was here?!

Are there any positioning marks on my body? Did he notice the change in the shadow? Or did I reveal some flaws that I didn't notice?

"Director Gordon."

Just as the increasingly panicked Chloe hesitated to leave Aiwass's shadow, Aiwass suddenly shouted: "Please come here."

She felt that she had found an opportunity. Taking advantage of Aiwass raising his head to call someone, she immediately jumped into the shadow of Isabel next to Aiwass.

You should never be able to find me this way!

At this time, Princess Isabel seemed to notice something. She grimaced and frowned slightly, as if she felt a little unwell.

This is actually quite normal.

The transcendent of the path of beauty is much more sensitive than other paths...but fortunately, she doesn't know about the skill of shadow sneaking.

After all, he didn't directly notice that there was something in the shadow. Chloe comforted herself in her heart.

When Director Gordon heard Aiwass's call, he frowned slightly, but still walked over obediently.

"Did you find anything, Mr. Aiwass?"

The old director asked.

After Director Gordon approached him, Aiwass showed a gentle and calm smile.

That is a confident smile that guarantees victory.

"That's right, Director Gordon. Please protect me."

Aiwass said, taking out an exquisite elf pistol from his arms.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Director Gordon felt that its hollow, silver shell engraved with thorns seemed to become a little dim for a moment.

The old man's face became serious the next moment. Without even seeing the movement, the old knight who was more than one meter away suddenly appeared next to Aiwass, and his powerful right hand directly touched Aiwass's wrist.

superior.

Because the muzzle of Aiwass' gun was too close to Her Royal Highness.

If Aiwass hadn't specifically called out to him before taking action and aimed at the shadow under his feet, the old knight would have directly subdued Aiwass the moment he pulled out his gun.

He put his hand on Aiwass's wrist at this moment, confident that his movements would definitely be faster than bullets. At this distance, if Aiwass wanted to aim at Isabel's vitals, he could easily stop it.

Aiwass was not panicked, he just stared at the shadow under his feet.

Looking at the direction of his gaze, Chloe also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she could still feel the sense of crisis, compared with the sense of crisis when she was under Aiwass, who seemed to be dying in the next moment, it was no longer

It's so easy.

Under the quiet gaze of almost everyone in the club, Aiwass said slowly: "I just came up with a bold idea after complex thinking and reasoning. Of course, it is also mixed with irrational inspiration.

.I do not guarantee that this conjecture is correct, it is just an idea. But just in case, I still called Director Gordon over."

After stacking the armor, Aiwass suddenly pulled the trigger at the shadow under his feet.

boom--

The muzzle of the gun burst into flames, and the bullets really fired. This shocked almost everyone, except for Chloe who was a little relieved.

And almost at the next moment, Aiwass turned his gun slightly away without hesitation, aiming at Isabel's shadow that was connected with his own shadow.

boom--
