Pietro, in less than five minutes, suddenly ran to such a far place...

"Little brother, I feel something's not right. There's a very uncomfortable feeling coming from here," Lorna whispered, moving slightly closer to Xinian.

"I feel the same way."

hope Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, his spider senses sweeping outwards, revealing many ragged locals behind them, staring at them with empty and eerie eyes.

The streets and alleys here are narrow and dilapidated, and the buildings look like relics from World War II, carrying the scent of gunpowder. Only a few scattered local residents can be seen, and it is far from being a place of prosperity.

With the surrounding snow-capped mountains, it doesn't resemble a paradise on earth; it's more like a large urban prison!

Just then.

A cheerful sound suddenly rang out from a street corner ahead, dispelling the city's coldness and oppression.

Xinian and Lorna exchanged a glance and quickened their pace.

As you can see, it's a street corner not far away.

A dozen or so local children in tattered clothes surrounded a silver-haired boy wearing goggles, their gray faces filled with expectation as they waved their arms forward.

"Don't worry, everyone gets a share, everyone gets a share!"

Pietro pulled handfuls of candy from his trench coat pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the local children.

Watching this scene from beside the wall, Xinian and Lorna exchanged a glance.

So that's why they were in such a hurry to leave.

I thought we were in some kind of crisis.

hope Nian was somewhat amused and exasperated, but the smile quickly faded from his face.

Under the watchful eye of death.

The black mist around Pietro condensed more and more, completely enveloping his entire body!

not only that.

Xinian looked towards Pietro's side, where a dozen or so children were also surrounded by black mist!

"No way."

A guess flashed through hope Nian's mind, so he used the Eye of Death to observe the other residents in the city.

Nine times out of ten, they are all shrouded in black mist, a symbol of death, though the amount varies!

"Little brother, what did you see?" Lorna noticed that Xinian's expression was a bit off.

hope Nian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This city... is the root of all evil!"

Chapter 345, Let's Fight Together

This city is the root cause, the source of Pietro's future death!

hope Nian was very certain of this.

Even if the root cause is not the city itself, something terrible will happen within it, which is why the black mist of death has collectively appeared on the bodies of the local residents.

It's actually quite simple to verify.

Just as Xinian was thinking this, a little girl carrying a basket walked up to him.

The little girl was dressed in rags like the locals, her face covered in dust, and she looked extremely unremarkable. However, the roses in her basket were incredibly beautiful, and a faint fragrance wafted from the basket.

The girl, with her hair in pigtails, asked timidly but then mustered her courage, "Brother, would you like to buy your girlfriend a bouquet of flowers? The flowers here are blooming beautifully."

Lorna scoffed, "I'm not his girlfriend."

"what?"

The girl opened her eyes wide, looking somewhat bewildered.

Seeing the other person's pitiful and helpless expression, Lorna suddenly regretted what she had said.

"She's my boss, not my girlfriend." hope Nian smiled and explained, then squatted down and asked gently, "How much are these flowers?"

"One cent," the flower girl said timidly.

“I’ll buy them all, is this enough?” hope Nian pulled a bright green banknote out of his pocket.

The flower girl was stunned; it was a hundred-dollar bill!

"Not enough?" hope Nian pulled out a dozen more bills from his pocket.

"That's enough, that's more than enough." The girl's voice trembled as she looked at the money, but dared not take it.

Lorna urged, "Take it, he's a big spender."

"Boss, isn't that a bit much?" hope Nian blinked helplessly.

The flower girl hesitated for a moment, then nervously looked around before lowering her voice and saying, "Do you have ten dollars? Ten dollars will be enough."

Lorna seemed to notice something as well, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised.

"How many people are in your family?" hope Nian asked, a glint of light in his eyes.

"Just one," the flower girl said obediently. "Just me."

"OK." hope Nian smiled: "Then there's no problem."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Xinian suddenly grabbed the flower girl and ran towards an alley!

Upon seeing this.

Not only was Lorna, who was traveling with her, stunned, but the two burly men who were secretly observing from a distance were also dumbfounded.

Lorna reacted quickly, following closely behind Xinian as he abducted the girl.

Damn it!

Two burly local men immediately rushed forward.

However, despite their speed being fast enough to immediately surround the alley where Xinian and his companion had entered, they quickly realized what was happening and stopped in their tracks.

However, there was no trace of Xinian and the other person, nor the flower girl, in that alley!

"What the hell?!"

"It's over, the big fat sheep is gone, and so is our capital." The two burly men kept pounding their chests, trembling with anger.

……

Outside Sokovia, on the other side of the snow-capped mountains.

Beside a forest lake at the foot of the mountain.

The black trench coat draped over his shoulders hung down as Xinian carried the flower girl onto the grass.

Lorna wore boots with metallic soles, her smooth, dark green hair spilling out from her baseball cap, as she followed closely behind Xinian as she fell from the sky.

hope Nian put down the girl whose face was pale and smiled, "Don't worry, we're not bad people. You've been controlled by someone, haven't you?"

"Little brother, what do you mean?" Lorna asked, raising an eyebrow.

hope Nian replied, "Haven't you encountered this before in New York? Some local thugs and bullies control the local orphans, making them work for them to make money and fish. I noticed just now that someone has been secretly watching us."

"I should have killed them!" Lorna's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light. It wasn't that she couldn't think of it, but that she didn't want to think about the dark side, otherwise she would find it difficult to suppress her killing intent and violent temper.

She hasn't been a gang leader for many years...

"Thank you, thank you so much," the flower girl said gratefully.

"No need to thank me, I was just confirming something along the way." hope Nian shook his head.

Under the gaze of his deathly eyes.

The thick black mist that had been surrounding the flower girl dissipated instantly as they moved away from the city of Sokovia!

Without thinking too much, hope Nian quickly said:

"Boss, you take her and continue to leave, into neighboring Slovakia."

"I'll go back and find Pietro, then I'll come and meet you."

As he spoke, Xinian tried to fly up on the spot.

The result was the next moment.

A fair hand grabbed the black trench coat and pulled Xinian, who had just taken off, down from the low altitude!

"Boss, what are you doing..." hope Nian plopped down on the grass, his eyes widening as he saw a face even whiter and more flawless than the snow-capped peaks beside him, exquisitely beautiful yet brimming with anger:

"That's what I should be asking you! Hey kid, what are you doing? Trying to get rid of me?!"

"I didn't mean that," hope Nian said with a helpless smile.

"What does that mean?"

Lorna glared at Xinian and said, "What exactly did you see?"

“I…” hope Nian opened his mouth, but finally sighed and said with difficulty, “I saw it, your death.”

Yes, Lorna, who initially showed no signs of impending death, was suddenly enveloped in black mist as she set foot in Sokovia with him!

Although the black mist was not abundant, it still indicated that Lorna had a chance of dying.

It must be admitted that Xinian panicked at that moment, which is why he lured Lorna away, not wanting her to stay in the city any longer.

"A catastrophe is about to strike Sokovia. Even superhumans might perish if they stay there..."

"Fool!"

Before Xinian could finish speaking, Lorna interrupted him sharply.

Lorna's cool face showed no fear or timidity, but instead she stomped her foot angrily and cursed, "Stupid little brother!"

For a moment, Xinian felt as if Lorna in the present moment overlapped with Wanda when she used to call her "stupid master".

"Your Death Eye ability can only see the danger and mortality rate of others, but not your own!" Lorna said angrily, "You are clearly exposed to danger yourself, yet you are always worried about others!"

"Don't worry, how could I possibly die?" hope Nian said calmly. He truly didn't think he would die, after all, he had too many life-saving skills and methods.

"Damn it, how could I possibly trust you?! That kind of thing is simply impossible!!"
