Chapter 9: Armin

"Ryan, is this what you call a crystal ball?" Enriel looked at the crystal-like skull in Ryan's hand a little speechlessly, and really didn't understand why Ryan called it a crystal ball.

"Well, that's it, my first magician." Ryan said with a smile and nodded. Anyway, Ryan is still very satisfied with this thing, although it doesn't have too many functions, but it is more convenient. Ryan directly found a black rope, strung the crystal ball, and wore it around his neck.

"Ryan, I think, it's actually called a crystal skull, it's more appropriate than a crystal ball!" Enriel grinned, and couldn't deny Ryan's name.

"Crystal skulls? Crystal Skull, Crystal Skull! Just a name. Ryan didn't care, as he said, it was just a name, and he didn't care at all.

"This thing can really store souls?" An Liye looked at the crystal skull curiously, although she saw with her own eyes that this thing was made of a person's skull and the flesh and blood of the whole body, but there were still some doubts in her heart about this kind of thing.

"Of course, today, it's going to start showing what it's capable of!" Ryan smiled happily, his smile seemed pure, without the slightest hint of darkness or sin. After all, in that ten-year-long career, Ryan did not receive any education and teaching, and even the moral concepts of his previous life disappeared because of those ten years. Although I know that killing people indiscriminately is unacceptable to others, but for Ryan, it's just killing people, and it's good for him, isn't it right?

"Well, then sister, I'll bring you a few people, do you want to live? How many are you going to have this time? "The same is true for An Liye, although she participated in the survey corps that fought against giants for the sake of humans, but if it was for her own children, killing people or something, she was more active, anyway, I kept hunting giants for you, at this time, you should repay me in turn, it should be a matter of course! This is the view of Amriel.

"Ten people, find ten people for the time being!" Ryan nodded, he didn't have any opinion on Aliye's opinion, but he was happy to see Aliel like this.

"Only ten people? You wait. "An Liye felt that ten people were not too many, after all, when he repaired Ryan's body before, he killed a hundred people for Ryan at once.

In less than half an hour, Anriel led ten people to the basement. Nine of the ten were adults, and only one looked to be in their teens. However, these ten people all have one thing in common, that is, thinness, and none of these ten people are physically strong. Obviously, these ten men must have come from the same place as Ryan, who fled here after the Wall of Mary was breached.

"Here, what is this place? You said you'd give me food when you're done here to help you do something? Perhaps it was because he felt a little weird in this gloomy basement, so the youngest blond-haired weak boy about Ryan's age couldn't help but speak.

"Food? Of course, as long as you help me with this, I will give you as much food as you can eat. Ryan smiled. Sure enough, in this chaotic world at this moment, people are the least valuable and the best to coax.

Looking at Ryan's innocent smile, the ten people who were originally uneasy gradually settled down, after all, people who can have such an innocent smile should not be a bad person! These people thought so.

Ryan looked at the ten people who had calmed down, smiled slightly, stretched out his left hand, and the crystal skull appeared in Ryan's palm, and then slowly rose as if it had escaped gravity, suspended about ten centimeters above Ryan's palm. The middle finger of his right hand was slashed again, and a drop of blood dripped onto the crystal skull, and a blood-colored halo spread out from the crystal skull.

Looking at this strange scene, even Amriye's heart was terrified. And the ten people began to panic even more, it was so weird, they suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"No, I don't want food!" One of the ten people, a thin fellow, finally couldn't take it anymore and turned around to run.

With one taking the lead, the others also began to want to escape.

"It's useless, the door is locked!" The smile on Ryan's face was still so innocent, but in the eyes of those ten people, it was like the hideous face of the devil.

At this time, the halo emitted by the crystal skull began to change from blood to black, and finally the weird blood-colored halo directly turned into a weird black halo, and then the halo spread out, directly enveloping the ten people. Crystal Skull, it's starting to absorb souls.

Among the ten people, nine of them only resisted slightly, and their souls directly turned into a puff of black smoke and were inhaled into the crystal skull, while the nine people fell to the ground softly, directly without breathing. There was only one person left, although his face was a little pale, and there was a slight hint of pain between his eyebrows, but his soul did not waver in the slightest.

"Huh? It's just a child, and although the spiritual power is quite lively, it is not strong, and the quality is not high, how can it resist the soul dementoring effect of this crystal skull? Ryan looked at the only survivor of the ten, the youngest of the ten, who was about his own age and looked weak.

"Is there something wrong?" An Liye saw that nine out of ten people had fallen, but one was fine, coupled with Ryan's strange face, An Liye couldn't help but be a little worried, and at the same time, she was also prepared, as long as Ryan said a word, she would kill the only remaining survivor at any time.

"It's okay Amriel, although things are a little unexpected, but I'm glad to be able to encounter this kind of thing, it seems to be funny! What was it that would keep him from the Crystal Skull Dementor? Ryan looked curious.

The only survivor was frightened and trembling at this time, his body trembled, and nine of the ten people who were originally fine died in the blink of an eye, leaving only himself alive, especially the previous scene, it was too weird, too weird, could it be witchcraft?

"Your name. What's your name? Tell me! Ryan asked, looking up and down at the boy who was about his age, looking weak, and a bit of a pseudo-girl.

In fact, when it comes to pseudo-mothers, Ryan is more like him, because he has not seen the sun for a long time, his complexion is a little sickly pale, but his face is inherited from Amway, very delicate and very beautiful. In addition, his body looks very thin at this time, and he looks like a beautiful little girl no matter how he looks.

"I, my name is Armin Arnold!" The pitiful-looking guy said his name.

"Armin Arnold? So, would you like to work for me for a while? Rest assured, I won't pay you any less. Eat and live! Ryan said with a smile as he looked at Armin. Although it seemed to be asking Almin, his tone was very affirmative, and he didn't give Armin a chance to refuse at all.

"I, I do!" Although Armin was unwilling in his heart, he did not dare to refuse in the face of Ryan's strange methods, and he did not dare to disobey Ryan's will at all, he was afraid that Ryan would kill him and let him die a strange death like the nine people before.

"That's really great! Not! Also, remember, the content of the work must be kept secret! Otherwise......" Ryan smiled and nodded, his smile becoming more and more innocent.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret." Armin swore aloud ......;
