Bab 450: Chapter 270: The Demon Hunter of Blackbird City

Ilan Bird looked up at the dark building in the rain ahead and, after a careful glance, he spotted a tiny sickle emblem.

That somewhat reassured him.

He pulled down the hood to shield from the rain and walked under the eaves.

On the side, he found a small door and knocked six times, following a special rhythm.

Only then did the door open a crack, revealing orange-yellow light.

A child who looked no more than five or six years old timidly poked his head out from inside. One of his eyes was normal, but the other had had a large hole gouged in its socket and a mechanical eye inserted.

The child looked up at Bird under the hood, his unfamiliar face prompting alert; he hurriedly tried to close the door, but Bird stopped it with his hand.

How could a five or six-year-old child have the strength to compete with an adult?

With only a slight effort, Bird pushed the door open wide enough for him to slip through.

He quickly sidled inside and promptly closed the door behind him.
