At the same time that Merlin was sending Damien back to his father's side, in another location in Gotham City, S.H.I.E.L.D. advisor Elsa Murphy.
Miss Bloodstone is also on her own mission.During her few months at S.H.I.E.L.D., Elsa had become accustomed to sudden missions.As a consultant, she doesn't have to clock in to work every day like agents, wandering around New York and dealing with all sorts of trivial things.According to the division of S.D.O.L.D.'
s functions, Elsa will only come forward as a support force when there is a supernatural event above the B level.Although the security in New York is not good, B-level incidents are not happening every day, so during this period of time, Miss Bloodstone's life is actually quite leisurely and comfortable.S.H.I.E.L.D. pays her a generous enough allowance every month so that she can make a good living even if she doesn't open a store.But Elsa, the girl, still stays in her small shop almost every day, except for the occasional shopping with a few female colleagues, she almost maintains a state of staying at home.She's preparing for her witcher trials.After the last time she took out the weakened legendary vampire with Merlin and Blade, Elsa felt her weakness, especially after learning that her missing father was likely involved in Dracula-related troubles, and Elsa has been doing everything she can to improve her strength.She had to become an official witcher in the shortest possible time before she could intervene in her father's affairs.However, Merlin's phone call interrupts Miss Bloodstone's training program and leads her to Sin City on the East Coast, her first visit to Gotham, but the city's first impression of her...
Too bad."
This is the place of the hell."
Wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, Elsa looked at the thugs lying down at her feet with disgust, this was the seventh time she had been harassed since entering Gotham.And all this happened in just 2 hours.In addition to being harassed, she suffered 3 unsuccessful thefts, 2 pistols to her head, and 1 speeding car robbery.On the street behind her, a few minutes ago, a small bank had been robbed by masked thugs.These events perfectly explain to Elsa what "Sin City" is.She was already very dissatisfied with the security of New York, but after entering Gotham, she found that New York, where the demons were dancing wildly, was really good."
Sure enough, the sense of happiness is comparative."
Elsa sighed and kicked the thug in the crotch at her feet.With the sound of something shattering, she shook her long, bright orange hair, and walked to a red apartment at the end of the street, contrasting the address Merlin had given her.It was Dr.
Douglas's home, at least that's what Merlin had said."
But it doesn't look like it's inhabited here."
Miss Bloodstone pushed the door open, and in the three-story apartment, she didn't feel the smell of human activity.After entering the work state, Elsa, who usually laughs and has a good personality, has also become serious and steady.Although she is not yet an official witcher, Elsa has been trained by her parents since she was a child, and has also taken some potions to make her physical fitness and various senses surpass that of ordinary people, in order to increase her success rate when taking the grass trial.In an ancient family like the Bloodstone family, Elsa's ancestors left many ways to ensure that the inheritance will not be broken."
Whoever lives here, they're all gone, well, at least a week ago."
Miss Bloodstone frowned, observing the situation in the empty apartment.She reached out and touched the table beside her, where there was already a gathering of dust."
The smell—" Elsa moved her nose as she walked briskly up to the second floor, where there was a rotten smell on the floor in front of her."
Apparently cleaned, but there are still traces."
She crouched down, looking at the hard-to-detect marks on the floor, and whispered, "It should be food scraps, they left while eating, or, forcibly taken away." ”"There are still traces of a fight here."
Miss Witcher stood up and walked to the window, stroking the few sharp marks left on the window frame, and she could even imagine the scene.She turned her head and looked at the table behind her, and she said, "Dr.
Douglas's family was having dinner when someone burst in through the window and was standing at the table...
Well, it should be this location. ”Miss Bloodstone moved a few steps to the left, she looked at the dining table in front of her, and continued to analyze, "There should be more than one person, and the marks left on the ground are scattered. ”"Dr.
Douglas wanted to protect his family, he tried to stop them, but he was knocked down...
They threatened him, it was supposed to be a knife or a dagger or something. ”Based on the information she gathered, Elsa simulated the situation.Observing the dust on the floor and the food scraps, she walked to the other side of the table and stood, "There's a man standing here, who seems to be the leader. ”Miss Bloodstone reached out and stroked the dusty dining table, and after a few seconds, she found a tiny notch on the table, and she said, "It's been pierced here, it's meant to intimidate."
It should be a dagger or some kind of throwing weapon. ”"They escorted the Doctor's family and left through the gate, and just walked away, leaving some people to pick up the pieces."
Elsa opened the closed curtains to let the afternoon sun shine into the room, and she looked at the neatly organized living room, she said: "It was a very professional way to erase some traces of identity that might reveal your identity." ”"There's nothing to see here."
Disappointed, she made her way up the spiral staircase to the third floor, which had been divided into rooms, but there was still some strange smell in the hallway.For the average person, these smells are faintly unpleasant, but for Elsa, she can smell the messages represented in these smells.Demon hunters have fought with xenos for thousands of years, and each of them is a true master of tracking.After all, the aliens don't stupidly hide in their nests waiting for the witchers to hunt them, they are very good at hiding their tracks."
It should be some kind of chemical."
Elsa followed the smell of the air, and finally stopped at the door of a small room, and said, "This is where the doctor is doing his experiments."
He actually did experiments in his own home...
It's really dedicated. ”With that, Miss Bloodstone pushed the door open, and sure enough, the house was empty, everything had been moved, and only an empty room remained.Elsa walked inside, she looked around the room for marks, and after a few minutes, she shook her head, and the other party was very clean, leaving almost nothing.She took out her phone, dialed Merlin's number, and a moment later, the phone connected."
Merlin, the doctor of biology you asked me to find is missing."
Elsa searched the edge of the room for possible information as she said to Merlin, "Someone took him and his family, it must have happened a week ago. ”"Is there a clue to find out who did it?"
Merlin, who had returned to Wayne Manor, asked, "Did the Doctor leave any messages or anything like that?"
”"No, at least I haven't found it yet."
Miss Bloodstone said, "The other party is a very good organization at this kind of arrest operation, and there are hardly any valuable clues left in the house, but what is certain is that they took the doctor's family and took the doctor to another place, presumably to coerce him into doing something for them."
Hey...
Wait a minute. ”Elsa tilted her head and tucked her phone between her ear and shoulder, she reached out and stroked the wall, where there was a faint scratch that stretched all the way to the corner of Elsa's feet."
What's wrong?"
Merlin asked."
There's something stuck in a crack in the corner, wait a minute."
Elsa crouched down and took out a pair of tweezers from the pocket of her trench coat sewn with a magic pocket, and she carefully placed them into the crack in the corner, and a moment later, something the size of a baby's palm was caught through the crack.It was a quadrangular dart.Very thin and delicately made, with raised blades on all four sides and the outer rings of the ring, all glowing with cold light, representing the purpose of this dangerous thing.Elsa held the dart in front of her eyes, and she could imagine how easily it could have slashed her opponent's neck or even stabbed into the back of her opponent's heart when it was thrown from the darkness to someone.However, ordinary assassins would not use such delicate weapons, and such special-shaped darts are very difficult to use compared to ordinary darts.And on the inside of the dart, there is a strange sign."
I know who took the doctor."
Elsa said to Merlin on the other end of the line, "I have found something that proves their identity, if I am not mistaken, it should be the mark of the League of Assassins, I saw the samurai who wielded this weapon when I was a child, my father and grandfather, all worked with them." ”"The League of Assassins..."
Merlin was silent for a moment, he said to Elsa, "It doesn't have to be them, in short, the situation is a bit complicated now, you come to Wayne Manor, I will wait for you here, and then tell you the current situation in person." ”"Well, I'll be over soon."
Miss Bloodstone put the dart back in her pocket, she looked left and right, and said to Merlin, "Wayne Manor, right?"
I know that place, when did you get involved with Gotham's biggest playboy?
”"I have a lot of friends, Elsa."

Merlin said, "I have a lot of friends, anyway, come on, there's a dinner being prepared here, and if you get in time, you'll get a big meal." ”"Really?"
Elsa touched her flat belly, and she said, "Then wait for me, I'll be soon..."
A sudden sound from downstairs made Elsa stop talking, and she reached into the pocket of her trench coat with her left hand, and took out a crossbow from it, and while winding the crossbow, she said to Merlin: "Well, there are several 'guests' who have come to visit me, I will hang up first, Merlin, waiting for me there." ”"Need help?
Elsa. ”Merlin said, "I can go over at any time. ”"No, you don't!"
Miss Bloodstone hid silently by the door of the room, listening to some kind of vibration coming from the wall, and she said, "I can do it myself, but don't underestimate me...
So be it, we'll see you later. ”Elsa put down the phone, she took out her other crossbow, and after loading the arrow box, she walked silently out of the room on the third floor, she hid in the shadows, and looked down.Several dark shadows were moving on the second floor, and that's not all, by the window, Elsa could still hear some flapping wings, which meant that there were also uninvited "guests" in the air of this apartment."
Bats...
And people, hey, it's disgusting. ”In Elsa's super vision, she clearly saw the appearance of those black shadows.They still maintain their human form, but they have folded gray wings behind them, and their heads have been deformed, taking on a hybrid of human and bat posture, looking like a formidable combination beast.They wore black trousers, staggered katana swords on their backs, and carried odd-looking assault rifles in their hands, with several grenades hanging from their waists.Judging by their movements, they seem to have been trained in some way, and the way they walk reminds Elsa of the Assassins of the League of Assassins she had seen as a child.But if that's all it takes, it's not enough to make Miss Bloodstone feel scared.Of all the knowledge that the witchers had learned, there were more monsters than this bat-man who were more devastating, and their terrifying, distorted appearances were nothing more than a drizzle in Elsa's eyes.Hiding in the shadows, she silently raised her crossbow and aimed it at the two bat warriors who were searching for something.A wistful smile appeared in Elsa's beautiful blue eyes, and she licked her lips, a wave of frenzy for the battle welling up in her heart.She is the daughter of Bloodstone, destined to become an excellent witcher in the future, and will leave her own legend in the story of the witcher, how could she fail here?
Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, her fingers on the trigger of the crossbow, and she whispered, "I'm going to have a big dinner in a moment." ”"It's supposed to be a pre-meal exercise
