Su Lun chose a path that delved deep into the underground caverns, already entering the city's sewer system where sewage flowed chaotically. He had intended to search in this direction for the scythe, and now it also served as a perfect place to avoid the assassin, whose pursuit was uncertain.
Although the environment was foul-smelling, the sewage effectively concealed the traces of their movement.
Unexpectedly, before encountering the pursuing assassin or finding the scythe, they first stumbled upon a corpse at a drainage pipe.
It was the half-naked body of a woman, entirely wrapped in cobwebs, pallid and lifeless, being pierced through the skull by the venomous fangs of a giant spider with red eyes, which was sucking on the brain matter...
Miss Lena stared at the body, wanting to scream out but then remembering something and quickly covering her mouth, her crystal-like eyes trembling with unhidden sorrow.
The corpse was unmistakably that of the previous female assistant, Rosa.
