Without the slightest hesitation, I rushed forward and grabbed him by the neck before he could react, slashing his neck with the dagger as Ellis had told me before. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The blood spurted out in a straight line, forming a beautiful arc on the gauze tent, and a little warmth splashed on the face. As soon as I let go of my hand, his body fell straight to the ground, and his eyes widened and looked straight at me, as if telling that he was not blind to death.

I didn't want to look at him, but my body had already rushed into the veil. Since there are other people here, then I can only do nothing, anyway, it will not be a good thing to collude with Aubrey and make a mess.

I looked around the stone chamber to find the third person, only to find that it was empty. And I can be sure that no one left in the process.

What's going on? I took a closer look around again, checked the decorations here, and found that there were no other secret doors and secret passages to get out.

I thought back to what Aubrey had just said, and realized that it was indeed his own voice, and that he was probably talking to himself.

Aubrey's blood seeped down the carpet a little, and I looked down at the ground and saw a two-meter-wide magic circle on the ground. The magic circle was black, with intricate shapes and distorted text, similar to the one on the stone gate before.

Looking at the pattern of that magic array, it became clear to me that it was not human magic. I saw a little bit of debris in the center of the magic circle, and crouched down to take a closer look.

The lines of the magic array were a little wet.

I touched it with my hand and saw that it was dark red goo. Because of the passage of time, it has begun to become black and dry. I put my finger slightly close to my nose, and a fishy smell hit me, making me feel sick and want to vomit.

I picked up the scraps again and examined them carefully, and the image of the magic circle became more and more familiar in my mind, lingering.

As I looked back at the books I had read, and connected the scene in front of me with the corpses and prisoners outside, my thoughts gradually began to become clearer, and the conclusions were so terrifying that I couldn't believe it.

You can't be wrong, the one on the earth is the demon's circle.

It's a demon!

According to the records, demons cannot directly take the souls of humans, but can only exchange souls for souls by signing a contract and exchanging them for souls. And in addition to souls, demons can also fulfill people's wishes through equivalent exchange, through certain sacrifices. I know that Aubrey has always been suspicious and fearful, and that he is determined not to give up his soul if he wants to be king. But everything in front of him was enough to prove that he had indeed colluded with the demon! Is the throne really that important? Isn't the lesson of Lear twenty years ago heavy enough in the royal family!

Aubrey was afraid of death, so he wouldn't give his soul. But to make a deal with the devil, you have to pay a price. Then those corpses outside should be the victims of their trade. And those prisoners with mutilated bodies, their eyes, tongues, hands and feet, I am afraid that they were also contributed as part of the contract, right?

I just felt a chill behind my back, how could anyone be so cruel? Just for the sake of your own desires, you can hurt others like this?

Looks like I'm right, Aubrey damn it, really damn it!

I wiped the blood from my face and took a deep breath to free myself from my anger: it was far from over.

Although it was a bit cruel for Rand to lose his father and brother at the same time, I was able to at least preserve the dignity of the royal family. No one will ever know what this prince has done.

I quietly left the Chamber of Secrets and Aubrey's mansion and returned to the back streets. My body was walking mechanically on the road, but my thoughts didn't seem to be in my body, as if I had collapsed, there was relief from liberation, and there was also powerlessness from emptiness. I glanced down at my hand and saw that it was shaking so badly that I couldn't control it. Apparently not yet out of the tension just now.

The clock in the towers of the city began to ring to tell the time, it was time, it was time to go back, I still had work to do.

I sneaked back to my room and changed into my morning outfit to make myself look as normal as possible. Barrow also came to the door in a carriage, and it seemed that Rand and the others had already returned from the wake.

I looked at my trembling hands and was a little nervous: what if I was seen?

As soon as Gray came back, he came to my room, and in a flash, he changed back to his original appearance, and his tone was a little urgent: "I have something to tell you......" Before he could finish speaking, he swallowed the words hard. As soon as I looked up, I saw that Rand had appeared at the door of the room at some point.

I was stunned for a moment, and my heart beat a little faster: why is he standing here? Did he find something? I noticed that Lanter's slender fingers were somehow slowly beginning to close, and the expression on his face was a little subtle.

"Gray has been in your room all the time? When did you get on top of that? Rand squeezed out a smile on his face and said this gently. But I could see from his eyes that he was smiling very reluctantly and unfamiliarly.

I felt a little sad that Rand would always tell me very bluntly what he had in mind, and would not say such subtle words.

I don't know when the distance between us started to get farther apart? Even if they still get along day and night, they seem to be intimate. But I know he has something in his heart, and I have a secret in my heart, and we have become unable to be as honest as before.

I suddenly felt a trace of guilt in my heart, and I couldn't speak for a while, and the scene was a little silent. Rand said again, "Rossa, are you free tonight...... I want to talk to you, it's been a long time since we've had a good conversation. ”

I glanced at him, and my heart somehow began to speed up, but my face remained calm: "...... Good. ”

The meal was a bit depressing, and after Barrow and Xiaomi finished the dishes, we didn't talk much at the table. Except for Gray who said a few words without a match, and Rand who took a few words casually, it was a silence.

I tried my best not to shake my hands, and carefully stirred the soup in the bowl with the spoon in my hand. Gradually, I only felt that the strange aura in the air was getting stronger and stronger, which made my head ache, and gradually began to reverberate and sting, so that I could no longer bear it.

I stumbled the spoon to the floor, and the sound of the silver spoon hitting the ground pierced the silence of the table, and I began to roll on the ground, which was too uncomfortable.

"Rosa, what's wrong with you?" Rand panicked, and Gray stood up trying to hold me. I struggled to get up, and my head felt even more uncomfortable, like it was going to explode.

Gray lifted me up, and I barely stood up, as if something was tangling my head and tormenting me.

Something, something must be interfering with me.

I couldn't stand the torment, so I could only bang my head hard and scurry around, and several of them were stupefied by my actions. For a while, Xiaomi, Rant, and Gray were all around me, and the scene was very chaotic.

The smell in the air was getting thicker and stronger, and I knew I was going to die if I didn't figure out what was wrong.

I stumbled into the backyard, everyone following me.

Here, this is it! The closer you get to the back, the stronger the strange aura becomes.

I passed by the stables and saw that Rond was there, and somehow he began to get a little manic. I continued to fumble backwards, and my brain began to feel like it was going to explode.

Hands and feet gradually began to become disobedient. I feel like my consciousness is starting to blur, and I must hold on, there is still a little bit of distance to go!

I told myself this, and with the last bit of strength in my body, I kicked open the door of the general store at the back of the stable. The door collapsed vertically, and in the room, Barrow slowly turned his head with wide frightened eyes, and the straw stack he was holding in his hand slowly fell to the ground, revealing a corner of the black pattern under the straw pile on the ground.
