"Did you find it? Gu You shouted anxiously to Lian Wu who was running towards him.
Lianwu shook his head. "Where is he going?"
"Didn't he say he was looking for something?"
"But we've searched all the places we've been to before, yet we haven't found him." said Lianwu.
"Could it be that he has left the city?" Gu You was worried that if the remnant had really left the city, it would surely have returned to the forest to look for what was lost. But it must be very dangerous in the forest now. Maybe the undead warriors have set up a tight net waiting for the souls to get in. If the spirit has not left the city and has not found him, perhaps it has been captured by the enemy.
"Don't worry, Gu You." "Lian Wu said.
"Lian Wu, I want to go to the city and have a look in the forest."
"Go back? It's very dangerous there."
Gu You nodded. "I know it's dangerous, so I have to go back faster. There is only one remnant soul, and the eyes are blind. It surely cannot escape from the hands of the undead warrior. He needs help."
"But we may not be able to beat those bastards if we go."
Gu You clenched his fist too tightly, his knuckles slightly pale. He said, "I am a man without a past, I can't find lost memories. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know the meaning of life. I'm not afraid of death, so I must go and help the souls."
"Then we have to hurry up." Lian Wu placed his hand on Gu You's fist.
They had run a short distance when suddenly something landed on Gu You's shoulder.
"Duoduo!" Gu You stopped, and so did Lian Wu.
"Duoduo, where is the remnant soul?" Gu You asked.
Her eyes were filled with tears. She quacked a few times and then flapped her wings and flew up. It hovered low in the air, close to the two of them, and kept barking.
"Is Dodo going to take us to look for the remnant?" "Asked Lian Wu.
Dodo flapped his wings faster and flew towards the other end of the city. Gu You and Lian Wu ran after Duoduo, but felt the route was getting more and more familiar - it was the way to the bookstore.
Is the remnant soul still in the bookstore?
Dodo flew over the street in front of the bookstore, but did not stop and went straight ahead. Then he turned into a small alley. Dodo, who had already quieted down, quacked again. Finally, Duoduo landed on the ground in the alley, crying out uneasily.
"Remnant Soul - Are you here -" Lienwu looked around and shouted.
There was no one else's voice except for the echoes that reverberated through the alley.
"Remnant Soul - remnant soul -" Lian Wu continued to shout, while Duo Duo's cries never ceased.
Gu You crouched down and looked closely at the ground. On the ground, there were many footprints, long marks, arranged in a circular pattern. In the center of the circle, there was a pair of very blurry footprints that had been erased.
Lian Wu seemed to have discovered something, stopped Shouting, went to the wall and shouted to Gu You: "Gu You, look, there is a wound on the wall, it seems to have been pierced by something."
Gu You looked up and then said to Duoduo, "Has the remnant soul been captured by the undead warrior?"
Duoduo stopped crying and nodded.
"Where did they catch the remnant soul?"
Shaking the head.
Lian Wu came over. "Gu You, what did you say? The remnant has been captured by the undead warrior? Where have they been caught?"
"Dodo doesn't seem to know where the remnant soul is now either."
"What shall we do then? The Necromancer should have some connection with the church. Are we going to look for it in the cathedral?"
Gu You was also at a loss. The connection between the Necromancer and the church was just a guess. And even if you go to the church, you may not be able to find the elusive soul warrior. "I don't know what to do either."
"Well, let's go back first and then make plans."
"All right."
The two walked out, and Duoduo jumped onto Gu You's shoulder, muttering as if crying in a low voice. When they reached the end of the alley, they rushed back in - not far away, a group of knights of light came speeding. At the front were the prison slaves and the regimental commander.
"There must be nothing good." "Lian Wu said as he watched the knights disappear at the corner of the long street.
On the street, some people ran towards the place where the knights had disappeared, as if they were going to a market. From their mouths, the two heard some fragmented words.
"... "City gate..."
"... Hanging..."
"... There are prisoners in public...
"... "Red Robe Bishop..."
"... The assassin... The real culprit..."
Gu You walked towards the chamber of Commerce, but Lian Wu grabbed him and said, "I think it's necessary for us to go and have a look."
Gu You stopped and frowned.
At the city gate, many knights had already gathered. The prison slave, on horseback, raised his head and fixed his gaze on the corpse hanging from the city tower. As if deliberately for the people inside the city, the body was hanging on the inside of the city tower. The body was a man, with his head hanging down.
The prison slave thought about something and then asked the knight commander, "Was it the undead warrior who ordered you to guard it?"
"Yes, Miss Prison slave. They say this man is the real killer of the Red Robe bishop and has been put to death by them."
The prison slave sneered.
The commander quickly lowered his head to look at the ground and said, "I'm sorry, miss Prison slave. It is my fault that I failed to catch the real culprit and let someone else do it first."
"I'm not laughing at you." The prison slave thought that even if the commander knew who the real culprit was, the Light Knight alone would not be able to take him down. The prison slave was mocking, for it turns out that the undead warrior would casually pick someone to take his place.
"But we really haven't caught the real culprit." The commander thought the prisoner was speaking the opposite.
The prisoner waved his hand and said, "Then don't be negligent this time and keep a good guard here. According to the undead warrior, there are two accomplices here, and we must prevent them from stealing the body."
"Please allow me to ask about the accomplices of the criminal... It must be the two men who have been opposing us all along. It seems that the Shunshin Hotel was also done by them in collusion with the criminals here." This time, the Knightly commander is much smarter.
The prison slave looked at the crowd around him and thought, "It must be the two of them." The people from the Pei Luo Chamber of Commerce had told the prison slave that the three people she was looking for had left the chamber on business and had not returned. Perhaps the other two are in the crowd right now.
Seeing that the prison slave did not answer, the commander said, "Miss Prison slave, if it's really the two men, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
"What do I fear? A man speaks his mind and doesn't stammer."
"I'm afraid we can't stand up to them with our ability." The leader said awkwardly, and after saying that, he wanted to slap himself a few times.
"Then don't resist!" "Said the prisoner.
The regimental commander dared not speak any more.
The prisoner's horse took a few steps into the city and stopped. The prisoner's eyes kept searching through the crowd, hoping to find the figure she was looking for. She thought: It's very dangerous in the city now. You go back to the chamber of commerce. Although only the powerless Knights of Light are seen guarding the city now, no one knows when and where the Dark Knights and the Dead Warriors - and even more secret legions - will show up. I hope you don't act rashly.
Suddenly, a strange cry pierced her eardrum. She looked in the direction from which the sound came, but there were no two figures except ordinary people with indifferent expressions on their faces watching the spectacle.
In the corner, Lianwu tightly covered Duoduo's mouth.
"It's a remnant soul, yes, a remnant soul." Gu You's heart sank to the bottom. The soul died. Before they could rescue it, the spirit was executed.
Lianwu looked at Duoduo's eyes full of tears, and her nose couldn't help but tingle.
"Her again! It turns out that the Undead Warrior is also her subordinate!" Gu You growled in a low voice. He didn't expect prison slaves to be so cruel.
"She killed the soul and then deliberately put it on public display here to lure us out." "On the surface, only the Knights of Light are on guard, but she must have arranged the undead warriors already," said Lianwu.
"Tonight, we'll steal the corpse." Gu You said to Lian Wu.
"No, it's not stealing. With so many people on guard, we definitely can't steal. We'll rob."
