Early the next morning, Leo left the hotel alone. He did not take a carriage to the abandoned factory where Beruwulf and the others lived, but walked there.

Sylvia did not follow him, not only because she didn't like the decision Leo made and had an quarrel with Leo, but also because in the early morning, her men came to report that they were sent out to investigate the scene last night.

The last buyers of the coffin have disappeared.

Originally, Leo was prepared to assist Sylvia in investigating this matter, but as a result, Sylvia rejected Leo's kindness and wanted to go alone to investigate. At the same time, she also wanted to get familiar with her newfound power.

Leo knew very well that Sylvia was an independent person and would not be willing to become a vassal of others, and he could also feel that the witch power that was constantly surging in Sylvia really needed a place to vent, so he

Agree with Sylvia's decision to go separate ways.

After leaving the hotel, Leo did not take the main road, but walked directly through the alleys of Moonlight City and took a shortcut to the abandoned factory.

However, after passing through half of the city and entering the edge of the city, and passing an alley called Rabbit Leg Street, he stopped and looked at the crowd gathered not far away.

I saw that there should have been a row of three-story apartment buildings near where the crowd was. However, now this row of small buildings have all collapsed, leaving only ruins. The police of Moonlight City set up a cordon around the ruins to keep the onlookers away.

The crowd blocked the outside.

From the conversations among the onlookers, Leo heard some information. This row of small apartment buildings was originally a low-rent apartment built by the Moonlight City government, specifically for the poor to live in, so the materials used were very casual.

The buildings were in disrepair for a long time and were designated as dangerous buildings more than ten years ago. Rent collection was stopped and notices were issued to move people out of these buildings.

However, the people living here are poor people with little money on hand. If they move out, they will have to sleep on the streets. Therefore, after the city government did not collect rent, the residents who were originally worried about the collapse of the building did not.

I am willing to move out of these buildings, but they are still full of people.

At first, these poor people were worried that the buildings would collapse, so they found some wood from outside the city to strengthen their houses. However, after a few years, the buildings were still in good condition, so they no longer took it to heart, and even destroyed some of these buildings.

The empty rooms were treated as their own properties and rented out to some poor people who came after them. The number of people living in these buildings was more than before, making the already overburdened buildings even more precarious.

So people who live nearby know very well that these buildings will collapse sooner or later. It just depends on when, until last night.

According to the residents of the apartment buildings closest to these collapsed buildings, last night, or more accurately in the morning, they seemed to hear some groaning, and then there was a thunder-like sound, and the ground vibrated slightly for a while.

After a while, when they walked out of the house, they saw that the entire row of houses had collapsed, and all the people living inside were trapped inside the houses.

People who originally lived nearby mixed with the military police who rushed over, looking for possible survivors in the ruins, but all they found were corpses, so in the morning, they were disappointed and gave up looking for survivors.

However, the military police also withdrew, leaving only the police to cordon off the scene and wait for the city government to send people to clean up the rubble.

During this period of time, those who gathered around to watch the excitement made various guesses as to the cause of the collapse of the ruins. The most common guess was that the houses in this area were deliberately collapsed by real estate developers.

This speculation is not groundless, because there have been rumors recently that the city government is planning to hand over the land of this abandoned apartment building to a real estate developer in Moonlight City for reconstruction. However, the apartment building is already full of poor people. If these poor people are not resettled,

, it may be difficult for real estate developers to start construction.

That's why real estate developers will secretly collapse all the houses to completely solve this problem.

As for the evidence, it is the row of completely collapsed houses in front of them. In the eyes of onlookers, even if the houses collapsed due to damage or obsolescence, only part of them collapsed. It is impossible for them to collapse so completely at the same time.

Those with profound architectural knowledge know what to do to make these apartment buildings collapse.

This theory that real estate developers collapsed houses is increasingly accepted by onlookers, and some people are already clamoring to march to the city hall to urge the municipal authorities to thoroughly investigate the matter.

If Leo, who was also a bystander, was just an ordinary person, he might have recognized this so-called truth that was recognized by the vast majority of people, but in his spiritual vision, the ruins were not what they looked like at the scene.

To put it simply, the ruins of this apartment building experienced an evil god's sacrifice last night. The Eye of Truth attached to Leo's spiritual vision could clearly see that the energy of the sacrifice remaining in the ruins formed a blurry and distorted illusion in the air.

Because the time was too long and there was too much movement of people, the sacrificial energy surrounding the ruins was severely dissipated. It was difficult to tell from the illusion formed by these energy auras who was responsible for this tragedy.

However, Leo did not need to rely on these illusions to determine who caused the tragedy, because the murderer was at the scene and there was no need to search or infer.

I saw a carriage parked not far from the ruins. The sheriff responsible for maintaining order at the ruins was standing respectfully next to the carriage, seemingly listening to the instructions of the people inside the carriage.

Although the carriage was surrounded by curtains, these barriers had no effect on Leo's mental network. He easily knew who was sitting in the carriage.

"Bloody Baroness Natasha." Leo muttered the name of the person in the car silently in his heart, feeling the remaining sacrificial energy emanating from the other person's body through the spiritual network, and then looked at the ruins.

With two identical sacrificial energy fluctuations, Leo was basically certain that this tragedy was caused by the bloody baroness, and the poor people living in this row of apartment buildings should have been sacrificed to her.

The God of Arguments of Faith.

The only question that emerged in Leo's mind was whether the Bloody Clan knew about this matter or not, whether they acquiesced to what the Bloody Baroness did, or whether it was the Bloody Baroness's own behavior.

If it were just the Bloody Baroness's own behavior, then this matter would be simple. It was just a sacrifice by a cultist. Both the Church of the Hill King and the Blood Clan would definitely deal with this matter, but if the Bloody Baroness

If his behavior has the tacit approval of the vampire clan, then this matter is worth pondering.

"It seems that there may be big changes here." An idea came to Leo's mind, and then he continued walking in the direction of the abandoned factory without looking back, without taking another look at the ruins.

And just as Leo was leaving, the curtains of the Bloody Baroness's carriage were lifted up. Natasha, the Bloody Baroness, looked at Leo's retreating figure from the lifted corner, her expression was extremely serious, her brows were raised.

They all wrinkled up, showing a little worry.

In fact, just when Leo's mental network detected the carriage, the bloody baroness in the carriage also noticed it, but she did not dare to take any countermeasures because she instinctively felt a sense of danger, and

This threat was so strong that it felt like a knife was placed on her neck.

In her memory, she had only experienced such a strong sense of danger a few times, and the existences she faced those few times were existences she could only look up to, so she subconsciously regarded Leo as such an existence.

Don't dare to do any unnecessary actions, and don't dare to say any unnecessary words.

It wasn't until that feeling disappeared that she breathed a sigh of relief, and driven by strong curiosity, she lifted the curtains to see who the person who gave him such a strong sense of danger was.

Although she only saw a back figure, she still judged Leo's identity from details such as his clothing and body shape.

Among the vampires, Leo Dodd is already quite famous, and the source of his fame is not because of his rumored identity as a tower wizard, nor the wizard potions he made, but because he is the witch Xi

Sylvia Belmont's companion.

Almost every vampire knows about the agreement signed by the vampire and the witch. They all know that in the agreement, the vampire gives the witch a lot of privileges. In addition, some stories about the witch spread by the vampire make the vampire have an inexplicable feeling towards the witch.

The feeling of awe, even if the vampire has never admitted this emotion.

Therefore, for some vampires, becoming the partner of a witch means automatically possessing an eye-catching aura. All vampires will focus on the other person, guessing the other person's identity after dinner, and what qualities they have.

Attract witches and more.

Although Natasha is not among those vampires who fear witches, as long as she is in the vampire clan, she will inevitably hear things related to witches. It just so happens that Leo was also mentioned by other vampires in the early morning.

If it were in other places and times, after picking up Leo, Natasha might have a chat with Leo out of curiosity and get acquainted with this legendary figure known as the Last Tower Wizard, but now in this place

, especially Leo's observation of her actions, made her a little worried, worried about whether Leo had noticed something.

This worry quickly amplified from the moment it arose, to the point where it affected the Bloody Baroness's mood, making her no longer in the mood to stay here. She immediately ordered the coachman to go to Kuifan Manor, and she wanted to report it to her superiors as soon as possible.

, and see what decisions are made above.

Leo didn't know that his habitual use of the mental network to check the situation was noticed by the Bloody Baroness, who had special perception, and caused some bad associations, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He had already cleared out the ruins from his thoughts at this moment, and he was not prepared to get involved in this matter, because if it was as he suspected, this matter was approved by the vampires last time, then he would investigate this matter

Undoubtedly, he is an enemy of the entire Vampire Clan. With his current strength, facing the Vampire Clan in Yasha County, he may have the only way to escape.

Feeling that Moonlight City had become a den of right and wrong, Leo felt that he should finish what he had to do and leave here as soon as possible, so his pace also accelerated a lot.

After walking through the alley again and crossing two blocks, Leo arrived outside the wall of the abandoned factory.

Due to its abandonment, the walls around the factory were not repaired in time, and many places collapsed, revealing gaps that allowed people to easily walk in.

It's just that the people living around the wall seem to be extremely afraid of the wall. Not only do they avoid the wall from a distance, they don't even open the windows and doors facing the busy old factory, so they are very close to the wall.

The area where a road is located is particularly deserted, as if no one lives here.

Leo walked into the factory through the breach in the wall, bypassed an abandoned factory building, and walked along a path covered with weeds towards where the factory garden was yesterday.

The moment he entered the factory, Leo had already discovered some werewolves lurking around him, watching him.

Compared to those who live among humans, serve as Yasha County government officials, and come from the blood clan of the nobles of the Maris Kingdom, werewolves are obviously much more low-key. They will only send some young werewolves every once in a while to manage their affairs in Yasha.

The power of Shajun is regarded as the experience of these young werewolves, so the outside world does not know much about werewolves. They only know that the internal institutional structure of werewolves still maintains the elder system stage of early tribal civilization.

Some people who are hostile to werewolves, such as the vampires, use this as a weapon to attack werewolves, claiming on more than one occasion that werewolves are still a savage race.

Leo didn't care about such malicious rumors, but when he sensed these werewolves living in the abandoned factory through the spiritual network, Leo felt that this statement seemed to make sense.

Because according to Leo's mental network, the emotions and demeanor exuded by these werewolves were more animal than human, and he felt that these werewolves seemed to prefer to keep their bodies in the werewolf beast state rather than the human state.

"Is this the degeneration of the species due to the lack of maternal guidance?" Leo had a conjecture in his mind.

Leo walked very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive outside the garden where he arrived yesterday.

At this time, a nearly three-meter-tall werewolf emerged from the bushes and landed in front of Leo, grinning at him as if to threaten him.

"You know you look like a dog." Leo looked at the werewolf calmly and said.

After hearing this, the werewolf was stunned, then with an angry look on his face, he opened his wolf mouth at Leo, but before he could make the next move, Leo's fist had already hit him on the head, knocking him out.

He flew straight away, hit a tree not far away, fell to the ground, and passed out.

Unexpectedly, Leo would actually take action. All the werewolves around him were stunned, but soon they reacted. One by one, they came from the woods and surrounded Leo aggressively. They were ready to besiege Leo.
