Silence…

The occasions that simply unfolded have been really extraordinarily temporary. From the second the Bishop sprang up from the smoke, to the eruption of gunfire that suppressed him within the rain, it took lower than half a minute. Even the time it took to noticed open the cranium with the bone noticed afterwards was longer.

But it surely was exactly this brevity that made the sound of the blade scraping in opposition to the bones notably grating, and the nauseating sound of fingers mashing the mind was chilling.

Catherine, who was on the bell tower, was too far-off to listen to the disturbing squelching sound, however due to her distance and elevated place, she might clearly see every little thing that occurred on the bottom under.

On the similar time, it made her probably the most shocked individual within the crowd.

In her line of sight, within the distance on the lengthy avenue, that notably unusual determine and his prophetic actions, an unusual gun that hadn’t been modified, a couple of of the lowest-quality bullets, managed to suppress a Judgment Executor?

Though it was throughout his weakest second…

However on the similar time, it was additionally throughout his strongest second!

And that uncouth fellow confirmed no signal of concern all through your entire course of. Quite the opposite, every little thing he did was so informal, silent, sparse, clean, and seamless!

Was it ignorance?

Or had his way of thinking turn into so sturdy that he might ignore the determined counterattack of a second-tier contractor on the point of demise?

Catherine did not know. She simply stared blankly on the fragmented stays on the bottom, which might by no means arise once more in any means. And in that second, a picture of his face appeared in her thoughts, the primary time they met outdoors the elevator, a smile that was each charming and completely despicable.

Out of the blue, her physique stiffened, and solely then did she notice, belatedly… that he was simply an unusual individual, a commoner from the Decrease Metropolis, a personal detective.
