Chapter 23: Skinning Runes (3)

(The second watch, ask for fire support!) )

……

Skinning trainer Adler Fyode was there holding Helenny's body and crying bitterly, while Lin Fei stood aside and watched quietly. After a while, Lin Fei could be sure that this woman's spirit had really collapsed, that is, she was no longer in any danger to herself.

However, for the sake of insurance, the dagger was still in his hand, and after Lin Fei planned for a while, he suddenly said: "She is dead!" ”

Yes, Lin Fei just told the truth, he originally wanted to tell the other party that if you hadn't attacked yourself like crazy, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.

Unexpectedly, Adler Fyoder, a woman, was shocked, but she gradually stopped sobbing, and just gently stroked Helenny's cheek in her arms with her hand.

"Jon is dead, and now, even Helenny is gone from me, and even if I continue to live, it will be meaningless!" Adler Fyode said miserably, with a hint of despair and weariness in his voice.

At this time, Adler Fyode raised his head and glanced at Lin Fei.

At this moment, her eyes have regained their clarity, and they are no longer as fierce and gloomy as they were just now, and at this moment she said in a slightly apologetic tone: "It's my fault, it's all my fault, if I wasn't so persistent and wanted to resurrect Jon, Helenny wouldn't have died, so many innocent children, wouldn't have died...... Oh my God, what the hell did I do? ”

As if remembering something, the woman's eyes showed a look of extreme remorse. There was silence for a long time, and then the woman took out a key from her pocket and threw it to Lin Fei.

"I've done something stupid that can't be made up, but that's not my intention, young recruit, everything you want to know is in my notes, you can find it in my closet, besides, the contents of that box under the bed, which I gave to you privately at the time, you are really suitable to be a skinner......"

When she said this, the woman actually laughed, and then, she actually grabbed the short sword in Helenny's hand next to her, and then without hesitation, stabbed herself in the heart.

This change made Lin Fei unexpected.

"Present...... Now, I'm ...... For everything I've done, pay ...... Paid the price, Helennie, and dear...... Jon, we ...... Destined to be together, forever ...... Forever! ”

After saying this in a trembling voice, Adler Fyoder closed his eyes.

Lin Fei stood stunned for a while before he stepped forward to take a look. There is no doubt that this woman is dead, but Lin Fei can't figure out why this woman committed suicide.

Is it because of desperation? Or is it because of what she says is 'wrong'?

Lin Fei, who was confused, was eager to know the answer, thinking of what Adler Fyoder had just said, he hurriedly opened the wardrobe, and sure enough, there was a notebook inside.

Lin Fei opened it almost immediately and began to read.

Ten minutes later, Lin Fei slowly closed his notes. He finally knew what was going on, and Adler Fyode wrote everything down in his notes.

The poor woman's husband, Jon as she called it, died on the front line, and the constant thoughts made her haggard, and although Helenny was always by her side, the longing for her lover could not be dissipated. Later, she was found by an evil lich who lured her to do many horrible things on the condition that her husband be 'resurrected'.

The terrible thing was to deceive and kill human children, and then sacrifice their flesh to that lich. Even in order to resurrect her husband, this wretched woman peeled off the skin of the child and sewed a complete human skin.

During that time, she was completely mired in the fantasy of her husband's resurrection, and she didn't realize that what she was doing was so cruel. It wasn't until later, when her husband was not resurrected, that Adler Fyode gradually began to question the lich's words, and began to realize how cruel everything she had done before.

In short, the process was very tortuous, and Lin Fei just knew that this woman woke up at the last moment. It may have been Helenny's death that had spurred her on, or more likely, she had long understood that it was all a lich trick, but she had never wanted to believe that her husband had left him.

This also explains why, when Lin Fei first met this woman, she only said that her husband went to the front, because, subconsciously, she did not want to believe in her husband's death.

In the end, she woke up, perhaps in order to atone for her sins, or to free her soul, and chose death.

"Damn the plot!" Lin Fei gritted his teeth, he suddenly realized that what he had killed was not a monster, but a living person, just like himself, who had feelings, could cry, laugh, and have troubles.

Killing Wang Xinde, Lin Fei could not hesitate, because the other party should die.

Kill zombies, Griswald, and kobolds because they are monsters.

And those few dead contractors were also because the other party wanted to hunt down and kill him, so even if he died, Lin Fei didn't feel anything.

But now, the death of these two women made Lin Fei suddenly feel very uncomfortable.

Lin Fei is not a person who loves to kill, otherwise, when he killed Wang Xinde, he would not have just knocked the policeman unconscious, if he had killed the other party ruthlessly, Lin Fei would not have been discovered by the police afterwards, and naturally he would not have been shot, let alone come to this damn demon chapter world because of this.

However, they didn't do anything wrong, they wanted to kill themselves, and they had to fight back.

That's cause and effect.

After a long time, Lin Fei put away his notes and took out the box under Adler Fyoder's bed. The box was locked, and Lin Fei directly opened the box with the key given to him by Adler Fyoder.

Inside, there is only a slightly grayish stone shard, triangular in shape, on which is engraved a pictogram that appears to be zigzag. This is what Adler Fyode gave himself before he died.

Touching the stone chip with his hand, Lin Fei saw the item prompt.

"Rune 'Skinner', Level 1, Category: Rune in the lower left corner, Use 1: Can be embedded in melee weapons and accessories (requires holes), so that weapons and accessories are attached to the 'Bleed' skill, which reduces the target's HP by 7 per second for 7 seconds, this effect cannot be stacked, and the next bleeding effect will be generated after the same effect disappears. Use 2: It can be embedded in the lower left corner of the pentagram drawn on the body to create an effect depending on the implantation site. ”

Looking at the prompt, Lin Fei showed a puzzled expression.

Without a doubt, this Skinner Rune is a good thing, embedded in weapons and trinkets, and the 'bleeding' effect it can produce is simply quite useful when it comes to combat. But as I said later, this thing can also be used for the lower left corner of the pentagram drawn by the power of runes, but it is a little confusing.

"It seems that there are many secrets hidden in this, and maybe, Kane's notes will have something about the pentagram?" Lin Fei put away the skinner's rune.

When I looked up, I was stunned.

He saw six children again, just as he had entered the place for the first time, and these six children had come without a trace, and he had no idea when they had appeared.

These six children were laughing at the moment, smiling very brightly, as if they were relieved. It's completely different from the terrifying expression I saw for the first time.

After two or three seconds, the figures of the six children gradually blurred, and then dissipated like smoke and dust.

Lin Fei knew that this must be the child killed by Adler Fyoder, and perhaps at this moment, their souls were also liberated.

After picking up the skinning knife that Adler Fyoder had discarded and the broken sword that Helenny had used, Lin Fei took one last look at the two bodies hugging each other, and then walked down the stairs.

Until he walked out of this room, Lin Fei's mood was still quite low.

Sneaking into the town of Shining Gold, the contractors who chased them still searched the town from time to time, but obviously, they also knew that the chances of finding their target were not high.

Lin Fei didn't want to deal with these people at this time, he found an opportunity, and then quietly walked to the side of Sheriff Du Han.

"Young recruit, how's the investigation going?"

Lin Fei didn't talk nonsense, simply told what had happened, and then handed Adler Fyoder's notes to the sheriff. The latter looked at it, but showed a sad look.

"Jon is the hero of Glitter, and his wife, Adler Fyoder, is also a poor woman, and now that she's dead, it's all over. But, damned lich, it's all the undead's fault, it's these evil creatures who have tempted her, and I swear to the Duke, the Supreme Leader of the Alliance, that I will wash away this shame with the sword in my hand! ”

At this time, Lin Fei heard a prompt.

"Flash Gold Town Supernatural Event Task Chain, complete, reward 1 hour, reward a 'Recruit's Badge'."

"The main quest, the supernatural event in Shining Gold Town, completed, 75% complete, the task takes 4 hours and 49 minutes, and the reward is 12 hours, do you immediately teleport back to the 'room'?"

Lin Fei's purpose this time had been fully achieved, and he naturally chose to return to the room immediately.

A burst of white light flashed, and Lin Fei's figure disappeared from there.
