Chapter 711 - Chapter 711 Chapter 523 Flame Demon Beast_1

Chapter 711: Chapter 523: Flame Demon Beast_1 Chapter 711: Chapter 523: Flame Demon Beast_1 Late at night.

The city district, Queen Street.

Walking on this street, Mary’s emotions were incredibly complex.

This was just like the night ten days ago when she and Shirley were on their way home and had passed by here. At the time, Shirley wanted to tell her something… Now, she knew everything.

But Mary still did not understand why Shirley wanted to seek the Tartar Gate? Sir Judge didn’t quite understand what the Tartar Gate was either, and according to mythological stories, the Tartar Gate was Hell’s Gate, ruled by Hecate, the goddess of the Underworld. As a top student in the history department, Mary understood these mythological stories quite well.

But….. she still didn’t understand why Shirley would do this.

Did Shirley want to resurrect someone? But all the people we know are safe, right? We haven’t heard of anyone passing away, right?

Or, did Shirley contract some sort of illness? But generally speaking, if you fall ill, you should go to the hospital first, or at the very least, tell Ashley and I. Why would she instead actively seek out an outsider like Professor Capek?

Mary was utterly perplexed, she could not understand Shirley’s actions. In her heart, she, Shirley, and Ashley were the best of friends, they almost never kept secrets from each other. Even if Shirley encountered any problem, she should come to me first or at least go to Ashley before resorting to Dr. Capek?

Duanmu Huai mentioned this question when talking with her. Capek was a doctor in mechanical studies and sociology, in theory, no matter what kind of trouble Shirley encountered, she would not resort to him.

But this was premised on her being unaware of Professor Capek’s true identity.

If Shirley knew from the start that Professor Capek was a guest of Silver Dusk Cottage, then it made perfect sense for her to go find him!

But how did Shirley come to know this?

Who told her?

Mary only felt her head was about to explode. Truthfully speaking, of course, she knew that Shirley and Ashley were true noblewomen, whereas she was just a child from a middle-class family. Shirley and Ashley frequently attended high-level noble soirees and conferences of the sort, perhaps Shirley found out about this during one of them….. but…..

“Ring! Ring!”

Just as Mary was deep in thought, the communicator she was carrying suddenly rang out, startling her. She hurriedly picked up the communicator and then got connected.

However, much to Mary’s surprise, the voice that came from the communicator was that of her friend, Asherica.

“Mary? Mary! Great, where are you now? You’re not at Professor Capek’s, are you?”

“Ah, no, I…..I…..”

Faced with her friend’s inquiry, Mary was naturally a bit hesitant. She wanted to say that she was still at the apartment, but she figured Ashley could easily expose her lie by calling Mrs. Hudson, the housekeeper, so she changed her tone instead.

“I’m on my way home. What’s wrong?”

“Thank God!”

Upon hearing Mary’s response, Asherica heaved a sigh of relief.

“There should be policemen nearby. Hurry and find a policeman, ask him to arrange for transportation to get you back to school or your home! Remember, under no circumstances should you go out!”

“What happened? Ashley?”

Upon hearing her friend’s voice filled with this sense of urgency, Mary started to feel uneasy.

“It’s said that someone was killed again tonight! The killer is in the city district! The police have completely blocked off the area…Mary……..”

However, before Asherica could finish her sentence, her communication got interrupted as if it was being tampered with. But for Mary, this was already enough.

Someone else was murdered!

Who did it this time? Was it also someone from Dr. Capek’s research group?

As for the police……..

Mary looked around. Just like ten days ago, everything was dead silent. The gas lamps on the sides of the street were the only lights piercing the darkness. There wasn’t a single soul to be seen, but this time, Mary wasn’t as nervous and scared as she was back then. Now she knew, Duanmu Huai and Lorena were hiding not far from her, protecting her.

And the call Ashley made implied that someone had already been murdered…..then, will I be the next one?

“….sigh….”

As if to confirm Mary’s suspicions, a strange heatwave emerged from behind her. Mary clenched her fists and slowly turned her head – and then, she saw a terrible creature standing not too far behind her on the street, staring menacingly at her.

It looked like a person, but also like a gecko. Its entire body was engulfed in flames, and within the flames, what terrified Mary the most was the blood-red eyes that seemed to have been formed from congealed blood!

This monster, covered in haunting, blood-red eyes, was staring right at Mary, its eyes teeming with unabashed greed and desire!

“Golden Pupil…… Give me…… Golden Pupil…..!”

Just like the Steel Giant before, this Flame Monster let out a chilling and horrifying roar. But this time, Mary did not choose to run away. Instead, she stared back at the Flame Monster, clenched her teeth.

“I absolutely will not give it to you! if you want it, come and get it yourself!!”

Having said that, Mary turned around and began running deeper into the street, and the Flame Monster let out another roar, chasing after her!
