Chapter XXVIII. The Hunter and the Prey
After waiting for all the Assassins to leave and make sure that no other Assassins had re-entered the room, Charlotte looked up and saw that there was no one else and took off the tattered and disposed of it.
He wiped the tomato juice off his body, and the Assassin thought he was badly injured in the darker room, but in reality Charlotte didn't do anything at all, just took a few tomatoes from the kitchen, squeezed some juice, and applied them to himself.
If there were an Oscar statuette in this world, Charlotte would definitely win the award for Best Supporting Actor and Play Dead.
(Luckily, I fooled them.) )
After putting on the pitch-black cloak, Charlotte picked up the bag and straight sword hidden in the shadows, pushed open the wooden door and quietly left his room. As he walked downstairs, his pupils shrank sharply.
The scene in front of me is like hell on earth.
Blood on the ground covered the ground like a river, and various stumps and heads covered the entire room, and the pungent smell of blood filled the entire room, constantly hitting Charlotte's sense of smell.
The entire inn was silent, and all the living were slaughtered overnight, whether it was men, women, children, or teenagers and girls younger than Charlotte.
He covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and in order to prevent himself from suddenly vomiting, he had to turn his eyes away and continue walking in the direction of the gate.
But there is another voice in my heart that tells me that this is just an escape from reality, and I dare not look directly at the disaster I have brought.
There was a slight thump, as if something had been touched under his feet. Xia Luo looked down and found that it was the little second who greeted him at noon, he clutched his neck in panic, his eyes were full of endless despair and fear, and he fell to the ground and lost his life.
Looking at the other corpses on the ground, all of them had struggles before death and begged for mercy. Despite this, the Assassins ruthlessly slit their throats and harvested their lives.
Charlotte's fists clenched, and at this moment, he wanted to seek revenge on the Assassins.
Here's what you do.
You brought it.
You, kill them all with your own hands.
The voice in my head grew stronger and louder. He shook his head to dispel the sounds out of his head, and Charlotte guessed that maybe the sight in front of him was too stimulating for his brain, causing him to hallucinate voices that didn't belong to him.
He calmed himself down a lot after taking a deep breath, now going to seek revenge on the assassins is undoubtedly definitely suicide, if Xia Luo, who still held the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision' before, might still be able to deal with those assassins.
But now he is powerless, and he may not even be able to defeat an assassin, and he is no longer able to seek revenge for the man who fell to the ground.
He turned his head again, no longer looking at the corpses on the ground, and quickly left the inn and disappeared into the night market.
But there is a fire being ignited in my heart.
A fire called Fury.
......
Charlotte ran fast in the night, and when she came to the southern wall, she used all her strength to walk through the wall, and she climbed over the wall several meters high in one turn. After landing, in order not to let others find out, he quickly disappeared into the bamboo forest not far in front of him.
There is no moon tonight, and the clouds in the sky block the sea of stars and the bright moon, causing this bamboo forest to be pitch black. If in the city, Xia Luo can still move forward by candlelight on the side of the road, but this bamboo forest has no light, and can only rely on her slightly better night vision ability to move slowly in the bamboo forest.
Fortunately, after coming to this world, through cultivation, my eyesight has also improved a lot, and I can still see the blurry bamboo and rocks in front of me in the dark night.
Half a moment later, Charlotte came to a relatively empty place, and there was no bamboo for him to use as cover. He narrowed his eyes and looked ahead, and could vaguely see a young man-like figure standing in front of him, quietly waiting for him.
Xia Luo's heart suddenly became heavy, and the other party was afraid that he would not have good intentions.
At this time, the bright red moon in the dark night appeared above the night through the thin clouds. The red moonlight shines on this bamboo forest, and the surrounding environment looks particularly eerie.
Through the red moonlight, Charlotte could clearly see the boy. When he saw Charlotte, his mouth cracked uncontrollably, and the dark bags under his eyes bent with it.
It looks like a distorted smile.
"It's finally waiting for you. ”
......
"Look! The prey should be around here, search quickly!" the assassin in the lead waved his hand, and as soon as the assassins behind him scattered to find the prey, they immediately searched nearby.
After a long time, when he searched a place full of garbage, he casually saw a person hiding in the garbage heap. He pulled out the long knife at his waist and cautiously walked towards the pile of garbage.
With a snap, he pushed away the garbage with one hand, and when he was about to draw a knife, he was surprised to find that the person hiding in the garbage in front of him was not the prey they were hunting, but one of their familiar companions.
The companion lay naked in the garbage heap, stripped of all his clothes and weapons, and dumped unconscious in the garbage heap.
At this moment, the assassin who took the lead remembered that the unconscious companion in front of him did not appear in the inn, so could it be that the injured companion in the inn was...
"Grass! Lao Tzu has been tricked?!" he scolded loudly, quickly picking up a whistle from his bosom and blowing it vigorously, and all the nearby assassins quickly rushed towards him.
When all the Assassins had gathered, the Assassin in the lead shouted angrily, "Look, that puppy has played tricks on us, and the Assassin who reported the injury and pretended to be our companion is our real prey!"
The Assassins looked at each other, all with fierce and angry expressions.
"Let's go, everyone come back to the inn now!" he commanded, and with a thud the figure vanished into the night, followed by the Assassins behind him.
"Now that the hunt has officially begun, I'm definitely going to skin you!"
......
"Don't look at me like that, it's just part of my job. The boy said with a smile, his smile becoming more and more distorted as he looked at Charlotte with several daggers on his shoulder.
Charlotte endured the pain and pulled out the dagger on her shoulder, but fortunately, the binding on her body still had the effect of stopping bleeding, so that she would not bleed too much at once and enter a weak state.
He looked at the dagger in his hand, but fortunately the other party did not apply poison, otherwise it would be troublesome.
"Are you thinking it's good that the dagger wasn't poisoned?" said the young man, as if he could read through Charlotte's face.
Charlotte looked up sharply, her eyes narrowing at the dark-eyed boy in front of him, he didn't understand what the boy meant.
"You know? Some old hunters have said that poisoned arrows affect the flesh of their prey. The toxin penetrates the blood and muscles of the prey, making it impossible for the hunter to eat the prey even though the toxin can easily kill the prey. "So it's a great shame for a hunter to put poison on his weapon. ”
"I'm going to peel your flesh and blood off with a knife, and your screams will be loud throughout the bamboo forest, so you can't pass out halfway. The boy's smile became more and more distorted, "After all, I haven't finished the hunt yet." ”
"What a madman. Charlotte whispered.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is 'Prime Minister of Evil Drama'. Well, that's what everyone else calls me. The young man said, "Remember the name well." ”
"Now, then, the hunt begins. The boy drew the dagger from his waist, turned into an afterimage, and swept in the direction of Charlotte.
