Oakliford and the others looked at each other.

While they don't fully believe what the note says, their perception is no longer valid. On the basis of this kind of thing, even if the words on the note are absurd, you will subconsciously believe a few points.

Facing the helpless gaze of his subordinates, Oaklifu gritted his teeth, put on his hood again to hide his panic, and shouted to the surroundings: "Everyone, gather here with me!" ”

There was a brief period of confusion around them, and then they began to pour in an orderly manner towards Oaklefort.

Once incapacitated, these Ash Men are no different from ordinary people in the Lightless Trace. The same line of sight was pressed to within five steps, and it was pitch black beyond the field of vision.

It's better to say that ordinary people who don't have the transcendent vision provided by the Nature's Heart are in a better situation. Because when those ordinary people start from the Sunset Plains, all the way through the dark jungle and matte paths, their vision is limited step by step. When they enter the Trace of Lightlessness, although the psychological pressure accumulated by the darker and darker environment will affect the performance of their strength, there is a process of gradual adaptation after all.

Not so with the Ashes. They suddenly lose the perception of the Nature's Heart, just as a person in the scorching sun suddenly enters a completely dull basement, or a thief who has been sneaking in the dark for a long time is suddenly illuminated by a strong flash, and for quite some time it can be said that they are much more blind than ordinary people.

Even under the psychological effect, their vision is closer than the theoretical five steps, and they can basically only see themselves except for those who are very close to them.

"You must have just heard what the man disguised as Pars left us," Oaklefort cried out, "and we can't afford to give thieves a chance to be arrogant. Now, everybody is eyeing everyone around them. If someone has an accident, then everyone around him must immediately warn! ”

"It's only about two minutes, I hope everyone will be vigilant!"

Oakcliff slyly changed the concept.

He replaced the term "someone you can't mess with," which may refer to a certain person or an organization, to a person disguised as Pars. In this case, the Ash Disciples will relax somewhat, or something will happen sooner or later under the tense spirit.

Even if a few people really disappeared, Oakcliff was actually not afraid. He didn't care how many people he was killed here, but if that person's intimidation wasn't all once...... For example, after a dead person appears, the damn note reappears claiming to kill someone or something.

It would be bad if that were the case. The willpower of the Ashes is the lowest among all cultists, and there is even a precedent for confessing to a gathering place under torture - not in some strict military base, but just by the garrison of a small town.

Oakliford was a little anxious.

The Ash Men had been a little confused by the sudden disappearance of their perceptions, and he was worried that he would not be able to hold back in the event of a chain of intimidation.

If you really can't help but panic and flee in all directions...... That's it.

With everyone's minds unsettled, two minutes passed quickly. To his surprise, no one suddenly disappeared.

Could it be that intimidators are really just scaring people? Was his real purpose just to escape?

Notably, no one suddenly disappeared, and the noise around him grew louder. Just as the thought crossed Oakcliff's mind, a sudden thought flashed through his mind like a thunderbolt.

"Everyone! Form a column in front of me and count from the back to the front! ”

The Ash Men were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly gathered. Some of the wiser ones had realized what was happening, and suddenly tightened their robes with pale faces.

Crowded with each other, they formed a column in about a few minutes. After quieting down again, the people in the rear began to count:

"One!"

"Two!"

……

"Fifty-two!"

“……”

Oaklifo was silent, his fists clenched, and he didn't make a sound. The whole team seemed to realize something, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressed.

All the Ash Disciples, plus him there are only fifty-three.

The Ash Men who came out of near the altar and disguised Pars numbered fifty-five, but now there were only fifty-three......

When?

When did it disappear?

Oakliford couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Wait, let me think about ......"

Oakliford held his forehead with his left hand and read in a low tone. Then, he waved his hand casually to signal that these people could be disbanded.

Just when the formation of these people had just been disrupted and had not completely dispersed, Oakliford, who had inadvertently taken a step back, crashed into a pitch-black winged tree. Sensing that something was not quite right, Oakliford immediately turned around, only to find that a white piece of paper had been lightly stuck on the pitch-black wing tree, and had fallen to the ground under the blow just now.

Ignoring the ominous omen in his mind, he suddenly lowered his head and picked it up.

To his surprise, it was white paper of the same texture as before.

Oakliford's face suddenly turned ugly, but he didn't care about anything, and unfolded the piece of paper to himself, whispering what was written on it: "Yes, you found the second piece of paper I left for you." By now, you should have seen my attitude and ability. Your daddy, I told you that I have enough power to clean up your bunnies. ”

"What? Still not admitting defeat? Still want to play? Okay, Dad, I'll have fun with you. ”

"I said: The next deceased would die by being killed by his comrades. It's still a minute, remember the young man, you can let them flee as you like, and I'll tell you like this, no matter how far away from me I can kill you with a word. ”

"By the way, you're also among the deceased."

A terrifying and exciting possibility came to his mind. He immediately grabbed the note and shouted at the crowd that had not completely dispersed: "Everyone disperse immediately!" Don't come close to anyone within a metre of others! Then everyone don't move, pay attention to the people around you! Anyone around you shouts and stops him - the killer is between us! ”

The Ashes looked at him in amazement, and Oakleyford's heart was full of confidence and excitement to find the clue. He explained in a loud voice to everyone, "Hold still and then listen to me." I've seen through that man's scheme! The man tried to make us think he had some kind of long-range means of killing, but he missed a flaw in the second note! ”

"He definitely didn't use some kind of curse or legal spell to kill our comrades from afar! He called me lad, but I took off my hood after he was out of sight, and I put it back on in a short time. The Ash Disciple's hood can even isolate the magic of detecting the faction, which is definitely not something that ordinary witchcraft can see. So, if he cursed us from afar after leaving, how did he know my gender and age? ”

So, he definitely didn't leave! That guy definitely didn't leave here! It must have been some kind of trick for us to see him stay away from here, the murderer must have been in our ranks from the beginning - no, he wasn't a murderer, he was an assassin with blood on his fingertips, a shameless deceiver! ”

Just when Oakliford was in high spirits when he was talking about it, I wonder if he had been thinking about it to make his brain active, and an overlooked detail came to his mind.

Then he immediately shouted again: "That murderer has blood on his robe!" I remember that his back had been cut open by a sharp object, revealing the flesh inside, and that there was blood on the man's clothes! ”

"Everyone stand still and don't move, check if the people around you have any blood on their bodies! The one with the blood is the assassin! ”

Just as Oakliford's words came out, someone immediately shouted in the distance: "I found it, it's her!" ”

Suddenly, the eyes of everyone who could see looked in the direction of the man's finger. After seeing that there was indeed blood on the back of the man, the others also shouted: "There are indeed blood stains!" "Everyone, come on, this is the person! ”

…… Wrong. The answer was too fast.

Oaklifu vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while, so he had to squeeze in that direction along the flow of people.

But suddenly, the voice in front of him fell silent. At that moment, Oakliford immediately realized that something must have happened over there.

He shouted for Jean as he squeezed forward. When they completely broke away from the walls of the crowd, they found that everyone had formed a circle to make way for the space inside. A strong sense of foreboding came over me.

Oakliford felt a stiffness in his neck, and he forced himself to look over it.

I saw that in the middle of everyone, a figure with a bumpy figure was lying on the ground on its side.

Her mouth was slightly open, and her mouth was full of blood. It probably fell out of her mouth when everyone "subdued" her, and not far from her mouth, a blood-soaked note fell to the ground. There was blood on her back, but when Oakley saw her back, he felt chills all over his body.

On her back, a melting scarlet spike was inserted.

It was known as the Crimson Canine, a weapon that only the Ash Followers could wield - it was made of the Ash Disciple's blood, which became extremely sharp in the hands of its owner, and melted in part whenever it came into contact with other life. In this way, whether it is held by someone else or dropped in the grass, it will melt into a puddle of blood at a very fast speed. It is simply impossible to be held by someone else and then kill someone else.

During the condensation of the scarlet canine, if some poison is added to the blood, then at the same time as the scarlet canine is pierced, some of the poison will be melted and seep into the enemy's body. To be precise, not only poisons, but also liquid substances such as herbal juices for paralysis and strong acids can be incorporated. Once the Ash Followers are as powerful as Marco, they can even condense some small scarlet canines to keep zài as hidden weapons for a long time, or break through the limit of half an arm's length and turn the scarlet canines into spears or stabbing weapons.

Generally speaking, the correct way for the Ash Men to use this weapon is to mix it with some demonic bodily fluids or undead secretions. In this way, when the scarlet spikes of this trait pierce the clergyman's body, the negative energy mixed with impurities will directly erode the internal organs from the wound. Once these priests try to use the divine magic, when the divine magic is just condensed, their internal organs will be detonated due to the conflict of energy, and afterwards it will melt into a pool of blood, leaving no trace.

It was undoubtedly a weapon that only the Ashes could wield, but it was now stuck in the body of another Ash Disciple, and the only wound she had on her body was the only one on her body, so the answer was self-evident.

Again...... Is it realized?

Oakcliff shuddered. He seemed to feel that everyone around him was laughing at his incompetence, and he clearly felt the panic and fear in everyone's hearts.

…… Or is it the fear in your heart?

Oakliford smiled wryly and picked up the third note from the ground, which was mostly red with blood.

He was keenly aware of the wavering in his heart.

Is this murderer really between us? What I see through...... Is that the person trying to see through it? How did he kill two people in a row?

Oakley sighed to himself and unfolded the note.

If nothing else, I'm afraid I'm about to reach my limit.
