"Click-" The broad axe pierced through the crack in the door panel with precision from the last time, but it made a loud noise, splashing the sky with wood chips, making people wonder how the last time it was cut in entirely.

Brunei trembled all over, and even rolled forward and fell forward, turned around, only to face the axe not far away with the handle stuck by the door panel, and the blood thrown from it instantly confused Brunei's face.

"Hell. Brunei wiped his eyes with his empty left hand, barely recovering his blood-soaked vision, and then saw the axe slowly lift again, retreat, and laugh, trying to ease his heart palpitations with a joke, "Seriously, it's a little scary to come here all of a sudden." ”

[Yes, this is also a classic scene of horror movies. According to the routine of horror movies, a pretending character like you with special abilities will die in three scenes in the next eighty percent. Hey, haha!]

Brunei found that his joke was not funny, and although the system's words were not very understandable, the malice was very clear, and he found himself a little nervous: "Although I don't know what the concept of the three scenes is...... But this kind of character who attacks with axes and knives is necessarily not a mage. If I really want to do it, I won't die anyway, right?"

[Look, what a classic flag, self-righteous self-consolation—even without considering the inevitable laws of the development of the storyline, giving up thinking, stopping analysis, and only encouraging confidence by advantages that have proven useless, saying such things to oneself is a precursor to ruin.] These guys are not ordinary people, but you said it yourself, so forget it. 】

"......" Just as Brunei was talking to the system, a shaggy and dirty arm reached through the axe outside the door and twisted the lock. The arm wasn't strong, but it wasn't thin either, and it looked a little bloated, squeezed by burrs on both sides of the door panel, stained with blood that I don't know who it belonged to.

There are not many people of this stature, and when it comes to this Shad Town, there is only one.

The door was pushed open, or, more accurately, squeezed open, revealing that the man, who was as fat and bloated as his arm, was indeed the owner of the cheap inn, but without the sinister smirk of daylight, his face was expressionless, his hands were covered with blood, and he was carrying a bloody axe, and his whole body seemed to exude a chill.

Brunei glanced back, and the coachman, still standing by the wall, scorched and smoking, although it was difficult to make out his expression, gave the impression that he was very close to the boss. Brunei couldn't help but smack his lips: "It does look like it's a magic effect." I've never heard of a spell with such an effect—magic, it's amazing. ”

【You...... Are you laughing?]

“...... Ah. Brunei raised his free left hand and pressed it to his face, touching the corner of his mouth that was raised.

[Hehe, isn't this a very dangerous perverted demeanor?] Well done, my little Brunei!]

"......" Brunei raised his eyebrows, and while putting away his smile, a few shallow green lights flashed on his body.

[Use the level 0 spell "Heal Minor Injury" x3, consume 3MP, and recover 3HP.] Current Status: HP=6/11, MP=8/8, Extra MP=401/500. 】

There was a tingling sensation in the waist and arms, and the tiny cuts and burns slowly disappeared under the shroud of light, but the wounds on the abdomen and shoulders did not improve in the slightest, and they were still pumping blood one after another. Brunei suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason, so he burst out laughing: "Whew." Why is it that basically every serious injury is in the stomach or shoulder? ”

[Ah, probably because if it were your chest or neck, you would have died a long time ago.] 】

Brunei tilted his head, rolled his eyes to make a very contrived thinking look, and nodded with a smile: "Makes sense." ”

[Focus on dodge check: 42<65, successful.] 】

The blood-dripping axe was lifted high and fell slightly behind the boss, then spun and flew towards Bruneisi, and then whizzed past Brunei's ears, which had already taken a step back, and landed on the wall behind him with a "click".

Most of the time, the communication between Brunei and the system is a fleeting thought in the heart, or even closer to self-talk, and sometimes, in order to distinguish this kind of communication from self-talk, Brunei will deliberately let the thought form a complete sentence in the heart, or even speak it out loud. He didn't know what the benefit of that would be, but if he kept communicating like that, maybe one day he would take the words of the system as his own idea - he didn't want that.

In short, it was easy and natural for him to observe his surroundings while talking to the system, and he naturally wouldn't miss such a big gesture as the boss standing at the door raising his hand, and the way he leaned forward when he threw the axe, followed by a rush at a speed that was not suitable for his size, was also completely taken into Brunei's eyes.

Brunei raised his right hand and slammed it from back to front, and the water column in his hand followed the movement of his hand to draw a huge arc, easily pushing the boss away and hitting the wall on the other side, making a somewhat funny "chirp" sound.

Brunei scratched his head with his remaining hand: "However, although this magic is rare, it doesn't seem to be of great value." At least, it doesn't seem like it's meant to be combat-I'm a mage anyway, and if I think about it, a few civilians who can't use spells won't have any effect on me. ”

While thinking about it, Brunei suddenly felt a loss of strength in his left hand, and couldn't help but let it go, revealing the scar on his left shoulder, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Even if they are a little special, the reason why they can cause me effective harm is that I am negligent and don't want to be a killer." ”

Isn't that what you're talking about the value of this type of spell?—— let's assume it's really a spell as you deduce. It can make people negligent, it can make people not want to kill people, so even through a few civilians is enough to deal effective damage to a mage. Isn't it?]

"Hmph......" Brunei's eyes narrowed slightly, and the boss who was hit against the wall did not give up, but rushed up persistently, and at the same time, the coachman behind him also began to act again, as if he wanted to cooperate with the boss, and also approached Brunei, "Maybe." ”

Brunei spun in a circle, turning into a loop around Brunei Darus's "water archery" easily bounced the coachman and the boss away at the same time again, this time neither of them had the slightest pause, even when they were retreating, they desperately wanted to stop, and the soles of their feet stomped out two long blood marks on the ground, and they rushed up again as soon as they stabilized their bodies.

Brunei spun around again: "It can't go on like this." Even if I don't get dizzy, they don't need me to attack to kill me...... Also, water archery is not an effect that lasts forever. ”

After another turn, Brunei finally made up his mind, and stumbled head-on in the direction of the coachman before he lost his sense of direction completely.

[Hey, do you want a dodge check?]

Brunei pursed his lips, completely ignoring the nonsense of the system, and raised his hand, and the coachman was swept aside by the water column, and when he was slightly lifted upward, the window was also washed open by the water column, and a terrifying cold wind blew in from the window.

"Well, then, I'll see you all back. Brunei grinned, before the words fell, the person had already come to the window, climbed with his left hand, leaned forward, and the whole person fell rapidly in a head-down posture - almost a moment before the landing, Brunei adjusted his posture, put his right hand in front of his head, and the spray of water splashed the snow on the ground back into the air, mixed together like a rainstorm, and Brunei rebounced with this momentum, turned over in the air, and landed in the splash.

[It looks like it's a little bit of a feeling, but isn't it actually splashed all over in mud? 】

Brunei rolled his eyes and looked up. His room was on the top floor of the hotel - even though it was only the second floor, and jumping off it wasn't necessarily too much of a problem. Fortunately, although the driver and the boss were somehow not afraid of the pain, they did not mean to chase and jump, which also saved Brunei from having to find a way to prevent them from falling to their deaths.

Brunei breathed a sigh of relief, and had no intention of keeping it, and the water archery technique naturally stopped being released. He roughly straightened his clothes and glanced at the window above: "What a trouble. Let's get out of here and think about what the hell is going on. ”

"Do you want to know what's going on?"

"Think—huh?" Brunei had just made a gesture, and before he could start running, he heard a somewhat hoarse female voice coming from the front, "...... Who are you?"

Shad Town, like much of College City, had no street lights at night, and Brunei had only now adapted to the darkness, barely seeing what was ahead by the faint candlelight and moonlight from the first-floor window behind him. There were more than a dozen shadowy black shadows, tall, short, fat, thin, large and small, lined up in a sparse encirclement in front of them - now a dozen civilians basically didn't make Brunei feel too threatened, but they didn't say a word, they didn't move, like a breathing stone statue, which really made Brunei a little hairy.

And standing in the middle of the crowd, a little bit ahead, and thus a little more clearly, is a strange woman. Wearing thin clothes that are not suitable for the cold and snowy background outside, his skin is blue from the cold, and he holds his head with one hand and his waist with the other in a posture as if he is showing off his figure, but his expression is very stiff, and he looks like he is laughing, but he has a feeling of wanting to cry.

As for the more specific details - to be honest, Brunei has little interest in this kind of woman, who does not look very clean in terms of clothes or body, and has no desire to look more closely.

The woman spoke, her voice hoarse, fitting her image, and her tone was frivolous, but strangely not rude: "As much as I would love to give you an answer that will make you bow back and say aloud: 'I am Brunei Carlyle,' I am unfortunately not able to tell you my name." ”

"So, you can call me 'hyena'. Correspondingly, I'll call you Brunei Sis, how about it?"

"This guy came to me specifically. Brunei narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then, hyena, you did what happened just now?"

"What just happened?" the woman tilted her head contrivedly, her expression unchanged, but she made a voice that seemed to dawn on her, "Do you mean what happened upstairs?"

The woman raised her head as she spoke, and Brunei couldn't help but follow her gaze and raise her head: "!"

[Extremely difficult to dodge verification: 3<5<9, great success.] 】

Maybe it was the woman's words and attitude before that made him realize something, maybe it was just pure luck, Brunei looked up, and when he saw the axe falling from the sky, it was as if he was seeing slow motion, and subconsciously moved a step to the side, raised his hand to grab it, and held the axe that was still dripping blood in his hand - with a soft "snort", the axe smashed into the snow, raising a puff of snow particles that were not easy to notice.

Above the window peeked out the coachman's face, which had been dull from the beginning, perhaps because of the burns, and the black and red face looked particularly terrible in the moonlight.

"Smack. The woman still twisted her body, her palms overlapped together, and then released, and overlapped again—"Bang!" "Bang Bang Bang!" The applause of more than a dozen people echoed on the ground, and a bird let out an exclamation, and out of nowhere, flew into the sky.

"Awesome. The moment the woman spoke, the applause disappeared completely, and the stark contrast made the surroundings seem extraordinarily quiet, "It's worthy of 'that' Brunei, just now it was just a mercy from his subordinates." Well, you see, I did it. ”

Brunei didn't know what he meant by "that", but in the face of more than a dozen people, although Brunei didn't feel too threatened, it was still a bit difficult to escape without hurting people, not to mention that this woman who called herself a hyena looked like she was behind the scenes, and she was probably also a mage - even if it wasn't for more information, Brunei was willing to talk to her a few more words, delay time, think about tactics and something.

So he waited a little and then said, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I think there's a misunderstanding between us. ”

The woman uttered a strange onomatopoeia: "What do you mean?"

Brunei blinked: "Judging from what you just said, the person you are looking for is called 'Brunei Carlisle', right? But I'm not Brunei Carlisle, my name is Brunei Castro. ”

[Poof-]

The woman showed a very funny expression, her eyes widened, her mouth wide open, and the so-called dumbfounded was probably like this, and then, looking up to the sky, laughed: "Hahahahaha! Since you say so, then call you Mr. Castro." But I'm not looking for the wrong person, Carlisle or Castro, I'm looking for you, Bruneith. ”

"That's why I said you're looking for the wrong person. Brunei didn't change his face and said that both sides would not believe it, which Brunei couldn't do in the past, but he didn't think it was an improvement, "I don't know you, and I don't think there is any intersection between us." Think about it, is the Brunei you're looking for really here?"

"Hahaha!" the woman laughed exaggeratedly again, "yes, you're interesting." However, be aware that telling the same joke twice is the limit, and if you say it a third time, it will be very annoying. ”

It's not a progress, it's just a change. Brunei heard the murderous intent when the woman said the last sentence, and changed the question: "Okay." So let's assume that the person you're looking for is me, why are you looking for me?"

The woman nodded meaninglessly, "Isn't it obvious? I'm going to find you and kill you." ”

It's okay to pause here for a few seconds, but it's not enough. Brunei paused for a few seconds and spoke again: "Then, why did you kill me?"

"Huh. The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, laughing very strangely, and then, in a motion that made her limbs twist even more, "Do you know why lions hunt antelopes?"

Brunei had never seen a lion or heard of an antelope, but he understood the word "predation" so he could answer. It's not progress, it's a change — a change in adaptation: "To fill your stomach? What does this have to do with you killing me?"

If the answer is as you say, then it really doesn't matter. The woman's limbs became more and more distorted, and the movements at this moment would not make people feel the slightest beauty no matter if they were replaced by any beauty who had captivated the country and the city, and the angle of the distortion of the joints made everyone who saw it seem to hear a tooth-sore moan, but she herself continued in the same tone as before, or even more passionate than just now, "But unfortunately, what you said is wrong!"

“...... Alas?" Brunei's question this time was indeed heartfelt, but he did need a little time.

"It's because it doesn't hurt!" Every joint of the woman's body was twisted into an angle that normal humans could not do on their own, tears flowed from her eyes, but the smile at the corner of her mouth became more and more distinct, and the tone of her voice became more and more high-pitched, "Because even if you tear the skin and flesh of the antelope with your claws and bite off the neck of the antelope with your fangs, the lion will not hurt!"

"So, the answer is the same! The reason why people kill people is the same!"

“...... Neuropathy. "Brunei doesn't reject new ideas, but answering questions for the sake of being different will only make Brunei feel stupid, not to mention that Brunei doesn't need any more time.

After giving a simple evaluation, Brunei waved his left hand, and a fiery fireball flew straight out, exploding on the soles of the woman's feet, and in an instant, the scorching white light enveloped the woman's whole body, and after the white faded, what was left was completely black.

"It seems like you don't think so, but why did you burn that woman to char so lightly? Isn't it because you don't feel pain even if she dies in such pain?"

The window behind Brunei opened at some point, and a man's voice came from inside, but the tone was almost exactly the same as the woman just now, he turned back in shock, and saw a thin man crawling out of the window in a strange posture: "So you understand, right? ”

"Because even if you die, I won't be in pain!"
