Bang——!

The white light of the electromagnetic catapult flickered, and the sonic boom of the bullet and the cracking of the rock overlapped, and the bullet that pierced the baroness's skull even pierced the wall of the stone turnaround five meters behind her.

"I'm sorry, I'm an impostor."

Before she could let out a scream, Lady Delanelle fell backwards, her pupils gradually lost their luster and finally turned into a dull rock. From her blood-ridden forehead to her bright red toes, the white skin peeled away from her body like wallpaper glued to the sculpture.

It looked indescribably hideous.

So much so that Jiang Feng was reminded of a distant memory.

That year, Jiang Feng was still a trainee captain, and followed the "Star Ring Era" to a remote star field, and was ordered by the Federal Assembly to clean up the mess for a vassal civilization that self-destructed due to artificial intelligence. When the ship's guns saturated the entire planet's surface and sent orbital airborne troops to clean up the battlefield, the mountains of synthetic wreckage he saw from the battle video looked almost like this......

Eventually, the Baroness became a stationary stone statue, and as the mysterious energy drained away, it turned into pitch-black rock chips that flew into the air.

Jiang Feng took back the Galaxy K1 and was about to leave the room quickly, but he heard a terrible scream from the window.

Startled, he turned around sharply and looked out the window.

But at some point, the sky outside the window was already filled with blood-colored red mist......

The pupils contracted instantly, and a trace of unprecedented solemnity finally appeared on Jiang Feng's face.

……

The lower room of the manor, a row of townhouses, is located in the corner of the manor.

There were four beds in each house, separate for men and women, and the people who lived here were often the lowest-ranking servants of the estate. These servants were mainly engaged in cleaning some of the places outside the main building, washing the manor's clothes, or manual labor such as transporting.

Not all of them, like old Norhan, were able to live in a single-family cabin. These servants had also envied old Nohan, who had his own hut and did not have to be crowded with others.

But now, they have nothing but joy in their hearts. The perpetrator has not yet been found, and everyone in the manor is in danger, perhaps the death of old Nohan is just the beginning, and no one knows who will be killed next. At least he has three roommates, and those perpetrators shouldn't pick a crowded place to attack.

Carrying a spear and wearing light armor, Kevin yawned as he paced back and forth near the lower room, trying to drive the drowsiness away until the next shift. Just as his gaze wandered along the edge of the townhouse, suddenly, he faintly caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure from the corner of the lower room.

With no sleepiness in his heart, Kevin suddenly became alert and shouted over there.

"The people over there! Come out! ”

No response.

Kevin and his comrade next to him glanced at each other, and the two of them tacitly set up their spears and walked in that direction.

The shack where the people live is like a weed growing on the side of the road, itself is built haphazardly, anyway, in the corner of the manor, there is a backyard between the main building and the side building, even if it is dirty and messy here, it will not affect the beauty of the entire manor.

As soon as you enter the alleys between the shacks, there is no gravel path, but a potholed dirt road. Kevin looked around alertly, his right hand already leaving the spear and reaching for the short sword at his waist.

"Are you sure you saw that?" York, who was half a step ahead, poked and bumped his spear into the shadows under the shack, and cautiously communicated with his companion, "I don't have anything here. ”

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken."

"Maybe someone from the manor slipped out and peed? Are we making too much of a fuss. ”

"Then why are there no footprints? Someone must have deliberately concealed something," Kevin stabbed the short sword into the barrel next to him, and after making sure there was nothing inside, he stood at the fork in the alley and looked left and right, "I'll look to the left, you go to the right to look—"

"Shh York suddenly made a silent movement, alertly drew the short sword at his waist, pressed down his upper body, and whispered quickly, "I seem to hear something, it's not far from us." ”

Kevin held his breath and listened intently.

It was then that he finally heard it.

It's footsteps!

There is also heavy breathing......

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and the heavy breathing is gradually becoming obvious, even if you don't have to deliberately listen to it, it is also very obvious in this quiet environment.

Kevin and York looked at each other, clenched their spears, and raised the tip of the spear towards the alley where the footsteps came. A drop of cold sweat fell from Kevin's forehead, and for some reason, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

And a hint of an unprecedented chill.

At that moment, the footsteps stopped, and the heavy breathing was much more restrained.

Suddenly, Kevin caught a glimpse of a figure from the shadow of the alley directly opposite.

The footsteps I had heard earlier seemed to have come from him.

The light was dim, and Kevin couldn't see his face clearly, except vaguely that he was carrying something like a stick in his hand.

Quickly exchanging glances with his comrade beside him, Kevin emboldened himself and shouted at the man.

"What people!"

The man was indifferent, as if he had not heard.

"Can't you hear me! Come over there for me! ”

Kevin stiffened his head and continued to shout.

"The Baron's order is that after dark, the idlers and others are not allowed to wander outside the room, and they will be sent to the dungeon and sentenced to imprisonment for more than ten days! Disobedient people can be killed with low combat depending on the situation! I'll only let you come over there at once! Otherwise, we won't listen to your explanation when we pass. ”

Maybe I heard it, or maybe I didn't hear it at all.

The figure slowly raised its head and turned.

That's when Kevin noticed that the man had his back to them.

With some eerie steps, the man walked towards Kevin and York.

York swallowed, his right hand rubbing the pole of the spear repeatedly, his eyes fixed on the man who was walking towards them. For some reason, from that pitch-black figure, he felt a death-like coercion.

The ten-meter-long journey took the man a full ten seconds.

At last he stood at the intersection of the alleys, and with a bit of scarlet moonlight, he crossed the eaves of the shack.

By the moonlight, Kevin finally saw clearly.

In the man's hand was not a club at all, but a bloody arm......

I don't know when the night above the two of them has been dyed with a dim blood red.

A bloody haze enveloped the entire manor, withered flowers withered with faded petals, and mournful wails echoed at the end of the alley, opening the prelude to death for the advent of chaos......
