"Stop!" shouted the boy to the robber as he ran quickly through the mountains and trees, past the roots and rocks.

But apparently the man was not going to stop or slow down, and seeing that there was little hope of catching up with the other with his legs, Jude had to consider the extraordinary power of the spell.

Reciting the spell of phase shifting, the boy closed the distance in a burst of light, and then did not stop, immediately continuing to cast the spell: "Ins satron devos." ”

Throwing a swift beam of light at the enemy's back, the bandit slows down as it is affected by the slowing effect.

Jude remembered Cathy's warning, but now was not the time to look back, so he quickly drew his sword and unsheathed it, and quickly caught up with the slow-moving man.

Reaching out and pressing the robber's shoulder, the boy was about to warn, but the other man suddenly turned around and threw out a strange handful of dust.

Reluctantly, Jude quickly closed his eyes and covered his mouth and nose with his hands, but the powder emitted a strong, pungent smell that made him cough violently and dizzy.

At the same time, the boy suddenly realized that the smell was familiar, and if memory serves, it was the same drug smell that had diffused in Mexia's room in the last dream.

Why did this gang of robbers have that kind of drug, and what is the origin of the Red Turban Brotherhood...... Jude just tried to analyze, but his mind became irrepressibly chaotic, and it was difficult to think clearly.

Barely recovering from his discomfort, the boy looked around and saw that the robber had long since fled without a trace.

Jude was in a very poor state, Jude felt his heart beat faster, his breathing was disturbed, his mind was very unclear, he had difficulty concentrating, and he had difficulty even casting spells, let alone tracking enemies.

If there are wild beasts in the mountains and forests, the situation may be even worse, and you must hurry back to the Black Vitex Rose to rest and recover. Reluctantly decided, the boy sheathed his sword and stumbled in the direction he had come.

As he returned, Jude gradually felt his mouth dry and almost unable to think, and even his vision began to redden.

As if by a ghost, the boy somehow came to the outside of Mexia's house and knocked on the door uncontrollably.

The girl soon came to open the door, and seeing that Jude's face was extremely bad, she couldn't help but show a panicked look: "Jude...... Mr. Jude?"

"May, Thea...... I am back. The girl's posture came into view, and her heart beat more and more violently, Jude barely swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quickly staggered her gaze, and walked into the house with her head down.

"What happened?" Mehia looked at the boy worriedly as she closed the door, "Mr. Jude has a bad face...... Were you injured in the battle just now?"

Shaking his head vigorously, barely resisting the strong vertigo in his brain and standing firm, Jude gasped: "No...... It's okay. ”

"It doesn't look like it's okay at all, so let's sit down and rest first. As she spoke, the girl walked to the bedside at the other end of the room and poured a glass of water, "Do you want to drink water?"

"Thank you. Walking to the table and sitting down at the table with a messy step, the boy took the glass of water that Mexia had handed him, and drank it down, but his mouth was still dry.

And the touch of the girl's skin inadvertently when he took the water glass ignited a flame in Jude's heart, as if there was some primitive desire about to break free, and his vision became more and more red.

The thirst in his throat was not relieved in the slightest, but there was a tingling pain, and the young man couldn't help coughing dryly: "Ahem...... Uh, cough. ”

"Are you so thirsty......" Mejia looked a little surprised.

"I'm sorry......" Jude didn't dare to look directly at the girl's gaze, and quickly lowered his head to stare at the ground, "Another drink, okay." ”

"Of course, wait a minute. Smiling, Mejia took the boy's glass of water and turned to the bedside table on the other side of the room where the jug was placed.

Looking at the back of the girl leaning over and pouring water, Jude's defenseless posture made the fire in Jude's heart ignite, and a primal longing rushed to his mind from the lower half of his body.

Forcibly restraining this impulse with what little reason remained, the boy looked away, he could no longer think, but he knew that he could not stay here.

Standing up immediately, Jude broke through the door and ran away from Mexia's house at full speed, despite the girl's exclamations.

-

Behind him, unnoticed, a man in a red mask jumped from the roof of Mejia's house, and landed smoothly and silently, looking at the young man's distant back, silent.

Nodding his head in approval, the man turned and walked briskly towards the forest, where he soon disappeared without a trace.

Another end: blood red

-

Looking at the back of the girl leaning over and pouring water, Jude's defenseless posture made the fire in Jude's heart ignite, and a primal longing rushed to his mind from the lower half of his body.

Completely unable to control his actions, the boy stood up and quickly approached her from behind while Mexia was still pouring water next to the bed.

"I've been waiting, please use ......"

The girl was just about to turn around, but Jude suddenly pounced on her and hugged her, and the sound of the wooden cup falling to the ground was heard, and the water in the cup splashed all over the ground.

But at the moment the boy had no intention of paying attention to them, and despite the girl's exclamations, he pressed Mejia down on the bed from behind.

"Mr. Jude, the ......"

The girl did not resist, she looked back at the boy with panic and confusion in her eyes.

"I'm sorry......" Jude muttered to himself in a delirious voice, as if to apologize to Mehia or to ease the guilt in his heart.

Despite the verbal apology, the boy instinctively began to tear at Mexia's clothes, and the long white dress quickly fell apart.

Jude's brain was further stimulated by the girl's screams, and he stood up, intending to unleash his belt in order to release the primal urge.

At this moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from his chest, and the boy lowered his head, only to find that a crimson blade had pierced his body at some point.

Soon the sword was drawn from his body, and Jude fell to his knees involuntarily, a large amount of blood gushing out of the wound and splashing on the ground around him.

The scarlet scarlet of blood gradually eroded his mind, and the boy's consciousness gradually weakened, and he wanted to turn his head to see who was sneaking up on him from behind, but he was unable to do so.

Leaning over in a pool of blood, Jude felt the chaos in his mind disappear and he was able to think clearly, but consciousness was gradually departing from him.

"Mejia...... Sorry ......" reluctantly looked up at the girl, and the boy pronounced the two words with the last of his strength.

In the gradual clarity of her vision, she seemed to be crying. Is it for his own death, or for the return of the one behind him?

Jude struggled to put one last thought into it, Mexia's home, the crimson dagger, and he didn't have to look back to know who was behind him.

Why is this happening?

This was the last thought of the teenager before his consciousness left his body.
