Ch 551: The Dead End Butcher

Asta found the Antimatter Legion flagship quite appealing.

"Now my collection has another piece, how nice."

Asta summoned several researchers, asking them to crack open the flagship's operating system.

Afterward, Asta left the platform to give Star Coins to Black Tower.

Star Rail World, Video Store.

Nicole, Ling, Zhe, Anbi, Billy, and Nekomata were sitting on the outdoor booth sofas, elegantly enjoying afternoon tea.

Ling held a straw.

"Honestly, if we had Commander-level strength, we probably wouldn't have to worry about the Void, right?"

Nicole listened.

"Commander? If I had Commander-level strength, my Sly Rabbit House could run rampant in our world; what Void couldn't I go to?"

Billy then exclaimed.

"Yeah, look at the scene of Star, Hu Tao, and Kiana fighting just now, casually causing Starbursts; our world is just a small planet."

Zhe put down his coffee cup.

"I'll go to Delta after I rest for a while; Sister, you watch the shop for a bit."

Ling, upon hearing this, repeatedly refused.

"No, no, I also made an appointment with Star and Ying to go to Delta; they're taking me to the Confidential Dam."

Seeing this, the siblings turned their attention to the Sly Rabbit House group.

Nicole immediately understood the siblings' meaning.

"No way, we're going to the Dead End Void later."

Ling asked in confusion.

"What are you doing in the Dead End Void?"

Nekomata said.

"I gave them a commission; to retrieve a Relic for me from the Dead End Void."

Nicole nodded.

"That's right, we'll prepare to leave after a short rest.

So, we can't watch the shop for you～"

Ling, upon hearing this, looked at Zhe.

"Brother, let me go to Delta; with your skills, you don't earn as many Star Coins as I do."

Zhe was instantly speechless and didn't want to talk; although it's true, please don't say it out loud, it's heartbreaking!

"Okay, then I'll stay in the shop interior."

Afterward, after resting for a while, everyone went their separate ways to do their own things.

Ling ran to the train to find Star and Ying to go to the Delta Dungeon, while the Sly Rabbit House group went to the Dead End Void with Nekomata.

Inside the Dead End Void.

Nekomata, Nicole, Anbi, and Billy aimlessly searched for Nekomata's Clan Relic.

Nekomata looked at the three people rummaging through boxes, quietly watching them.

After getting along for these two days, they also understood that these few people from the Sly Rabbit House weren't bad people.

They abandoned their original plan and directly revealed their Clan Relic.

It was a Pocket Watch, with a photo inside the Pocket Watch.

According to the original plan, they would lead Nicole and the others to the high-level Ethereal Remains Dead End Butcher.

Then, let the Dead End Butcher eliminate them, in order to take Revenge for Bai Lao.

That's right, Nekomata came from the Red Fang Gang, the former Red Fang Gang.

At that time, the Red Fang Gang still had ideals, to guard their hometown and protect the weak.

However, later, as the Red Fang Gang grew stronger, it began to become less pure, and began to get involved in some shady Business.

Nekomata really didn't like that kind of life, so they left the Red Fang Gang and wandered alone.

However, Bai Lao was their benefactor after all, having once taken them in.

Upon learning that it was Sly Rabbit House who killed Bai Lao, they thought of taking Revenge for Bai Lao.

Now, that idea has disappeared.

These Sly Rabbit House guys are people with a sense of Justice.

Nicole opened an empty Box, found nothing, and looked back at Nekomata.

Only then did they see Nekomata standing in the distance, dazed.

Nicole saw this.

"Nekomata, come and help us find it."

Nekomata replied.

"I'm the client; why should I help you find it? Meow."

Nicole looked at Nekomata speechlessly.

"Hurry up! The sooner we find it, the sooner we can go to Ye Yun's Shop.

There's a Victory Banquet tonight; Xiangling said there's delicious Grilled Chihu Fish."

As soon as Nekomata heard about Grilled Chihu Fish, their eyes lit up instantly, and saliva dripped from their mouth.

"Slurp～Grilled Chihu Fish! Okay! I'll help!"

Nicole looked at Nekomata, who rushed over and began to rummage through boxes and look for things, and smiled.

Little kitty, easily controlled.

Several people continued to search.

After searching for more than two hours, they successfully found Nekomata's Pocket Watch.

Nicole, Anbi, and Billy saw the photo in the Pocket Watch.

Billy looked at Nekomata incredulously.

"You know Bai Lao?"

Nekomata nodded.

"Yes, I was once an orphan adopted by the Red Fang Gang.

Originally, I planned to lead you to the Dead End Butcher, and let the Dead End Butcher take Revenge for me.

However, after my observation, you are good people, so I didn't do that."

Anbi suddenly said at this time.

"But...Nekomata, I seem to have seen the Dead End Butcher."

Nekomata replied.

"How is that possible? I grew up here; I know how to walk with my eyes closed; the Dead End Butcher wouldn't appear nearby."

Anbi pointed to the Dead End Butcher in the distance.

"Look, is that it?"

Nekomata looked in the direction Anbi pointed, instantly dumbfounded.

It really was!

The Dead End Butcher was blocking the only way for the four of them to leave the Void.

"Why is the Dead End Butcher here? This shouldn't be happening?"

Nicole opened her Suitcase to prepare for battle.

"Nekomata, we'll stall him later, you find a chance to run out, and find Zhe, let him come and save us!"

Nekomata shook their head.

"No, I'll stay and fight with you!"

Nicole said.

"Don't talk about loyalty at this time, you're more familiar with this place, you go find Zhe, let him bring Ies to save us!"

Anbi drew their Battle Blade.

"Nekomata, whether we can survive depends on you, run faster."

After saying that, Anbi charged forward and fought the Dead End Butcher.

Billy, holding a Pair of Pistols, also rushed forward, looking for opportunities to attack from the side.

Seeing this, Nekomata didn't act stubbornly anymore; taking advantage of the Dead End Butcher's attention being completely on Anbi and the others, they secretly slipped into the Void Exit.

After Nekomata came out, they went straight to the Video Store.

Arriving at the Video Store, Nekomata kicked open the door, startling Zhe, who was cleaning inside.

"Nekomata? Can't you be gentler? Don't kick the door of my shop."

Nekomata put their hands on their knees, panting and saying.

"Quick! Nicole...they're in danger."

Zhe frowned upon hearing this.

"Nicole is in danger? What happened?"

Nekomata said.

"We encountered the Dead End Butcher; Nicole and the others covered for me, allowing me to escape and get help."

Zhe replied.

"Take Ies, Ies should be able to take care of the Dead End Butcher."

Upon hearing this, Nekomata had No. 18 pour them a glass of water, which they gulped down before hugging Ies and rushing out of the shop.

Zhe, on the other hand, went to the HDD, preparing to connect Ies to enter the Dead End Void to deal with the Dead End Butcher.
