Operation Red Book

A bluish-purple electric current shot out from the lightsaber, and Dalton began to twitch.

Bluish-purple wires flowed through his body, temporarily controlling his movements.

Bell carried Thomas on his back and moved him to the wall. Thomas leaned against the wall and fell asleep. Bell turned around and searched for the potion in the suitcase.

Dalton's whole body went limp and he fell to his knees. Joshua tightly grasped the handle of the lightsaber, his hands and legs shaking uncontrollably.

Dalton stared at Joshua with his scarlet eyes, and his hoarse voice sounded in Joshua's ears.

"I remember you, little devil! It was you who stabbed my leg with the silver dagger and caused me to be captured here!"

After saying that, Dalton quickly stood up and rushed towards Joshua. Joshua raised his lightsaber and swung it around in panic, but Dalton dodged it easily.

Dalton spotted an opening, quickly raised his foot, and kicked the lightsaber in Joshua's hand away with a "bang".

The lightsaber fell on an open space in the distance, automatically retracting its blue-purple electric light, and in the blink of an eye it turned into ordinary scrap metal.

Joshua was knocked to the ground by Dalton's punch, and before he could react, he was kicked in the stomach by Dalton.

"Well!"

Joshua fell to the ground groaning, Dalton kicking and punching him in the abdomen, a feeling he had seen before.

"You bastard, you caused me to be arrested and punished by Lord Arnold. I have to go back and apologize with Lord Arnold. You have harmed me to such an extent. I must harvest your soul with my own hands!"

Dalton kept cursing. He kicked Joshua, who looked in pain, to the ground. He walked to his side, raised the silver dagger in his hand, and stabbed Joshua's heart hard.

Joshua had no time to dodge, and instinctively he curled up his body in a hurry.

Dalton missed his heart, but the silver dagger sank completely into Joshua's shoulder.

There was a chill on my shoulder, followed by a piercing pain, and then endless pain and sorrow welled up from my heart.

“Pop—”

The silver dagger was pulled out. When Dalton saw him dodge it, the rage on his face became even greater, and he raised the silver dagger high in his hand again, aiming at his heart.

"Dalton!" Bell's voice sounded behind Dalton.

Dalton just turned his head and was kicked hard.

He completely lost his balance, fell headfirst and rolled on the ground.

Dalton showed his sharp teeth again, and Bell took out a bottle of large potion and threw it at him.

Dalton dodged the bottle, and it shattered on the ground, spilling the green, bubbling potion all over the floor.

"Just that? Haha!" Dalton sneered a few times, mocking the woman with red wool curls in front of him.

But the next second he couldn't laugh anymore, as he saw a thick smoke rising from the green potion, completely enveloping Dalton.

Dalton felt a burning sensation all over his body, the pain was even worse than being stabbed by Joshua's lightsaber.

"Wow ah ah ah ah -"

Dalton screamed and rolled on the ground howling. Suddenly he remembered Arnold's warning and hurriedly put away the dagger and gloves Arnold had given him.

Dalton wanted to leave the smoke, but it stuck to him like chewing gum and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried.

It lasted for about two minutes before the smoke finally dispersed.

Dalton was panting and supporting himself on the ground. His clothes were torn and his exposed skin was covered with blisters.

When he looked up, he saw Bell dragging Joshua away, which made Dalton even more angry.

Two furry gray wings grew on Dalton's back and continued to expand, eventually growing into a giant bat wing.

Dalton's teeth gradually grew longer, and fuzzy gray hair began to grow on his face and body.

His hands disappeared, and his feet turned into a pair of sharp claws.

Dalton turned into a giant bat. He let out a sharp cry, flapped his wings, and swooped down from behind Bell, extending his black claws like knives.

In just a millimeter, Dalton's claws stopped in mid-air, and time around him seemed to have stopped.

As soon as Dalton stretched out his claws, a strong man grabbed his neck. The huge force made him unable to stand steadily, and he could only allow the strong man to throw him several meters away.

Dalton groaned a few times and struggled to stand up. He flapped his wings, took a few steps back, and squinted his eyes to observe the situation in front of him.

A huge man and several policemen with guns blocked Bell's way. Next to the lying orange-haired man stood a little girl holding a doll.

The little girl's eyes were empty as she tilted her head to stare at Dalton. She kept muttering "unforgivable" in her mouth, as if it was the roar of an ancient creature.

Bell carried Joshua and limped away, while a man in sheriff's uniform carried Holmes and Jacob.

There was a massive crowd of police officers in the rear, so many that it was impossible to count them, all pointing their guns at Dalton.

"Don't let him escape. He holds the soul of the entire prison in his hands." Jacob said to Inspector Lestrade with his head down. The swelling of his chin made his speech unclear.

Dalton bared his long fangs and tightened his claws, ready to pounce, but Arnold's signal suddenly appeared in his mind: "Return to the underworld, Lord Dorian is waiting for us."

Dalton shouted to the sky, flapped his wings and flew up, and the wind and waves he created knocked down several policemen.

He turned and flew towards the black prison, circling the black building, emitting a lot of sound waves during the flight.

The police were ordered by Inspector Lestrade to open fire, but the hail of bullets did not hurt him at all.

The golden hair was faintly visible in the thick fog. Dalton stretched out his strong claws, grabbed Arnold's shoulders, flew quickly into the distance, and disappeared in the thick fog in a short while.

"All teams! Search the entire Niksala Prison!" Inspector Lestrade issued the order.

"No, no need..."

Holmes on his shoulder spoke weakly, with blood hanging on his lips like red threads.

"Dalton escaped, Death came, and there was no one left in Niksala prison."
