Chapter Twenty-Seven: I Want to Play a Game with You
Those mercenaries are veterans of wars who have survived the most brutal battles and intrigues.
Psionic may not have a high level of redshift, but their combat experience is undeniable.
While feeling the sudden murderous intent on the godfather, the mercenaries reacted almost unanimously in an instant-
They inserted chips of different sizes and colors into the interface of their prosthesis.
It's like a lighter in the wind.
An unstable fire of the mind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment, ignited from the bottom of their pupils.
But not yet.
"—listen."
An invisible pressure burst from the godfather's body, but they were instantly crushed to the ground!
The chips that had just been inserted into the prosthetic body burst out one by one with a ball of fire and instantly failed.
And the prosthetic body where they had inserted the chip also began to smoke slowly and was gradually heated.
Everyone fell to their knees in unison...... The fear was so intense that they couldn't even move their fingers.
But what scares them the most is ...... The fear and fear that poured into their hearts.
It was as if under a dark canyon, above the crimson sky, an emotionless eye had opened.
In front of it, the "self" seems to become small.
And with the weakening of the "ego"—with that sense of fear—their own psionic abilities are very visibly suppressed.
The ember-like red light that crackles and burns from the bottom of the godfather's pupils is reminiscent of the legendary dragon.
The Godfather's exposed skin cracked, and a scorching glow spilled out of it—dark golden fissures like tree roots, like ice-cracked porcelain, that appeared on the side of the Godfather's skin near his heart, from the left side of his neck to his cheek.
And the hair rings on his long dark blue ponytail also spontaneously combusted and cracked.
The long dark blue hair was windless and automatic, and the hunt floated behind the godfather.
Just by looking at him, you can really feel the "anger" that is impressive.
But the godfather didn't roar, he didn't get angry, he didn't even clench his fists, and his expression wasn't at all hideous.
For the anger was not directed against them......
It was the fire of anger burning in the marrow.
- It is a flame called "Anger and Indisputability".
It's like getting up close and personal with a furnace.
The skin is scorched, the eyes are hot, and the breath is as painful as swallowing molten iron.
In the dark and lightless lower town, it seems that a dark red sun is slowly rising.
Although he has not yet inherited the spells of the "Crucible" school, it is only a week away from arriving at the area where the strangled mentor is located.
In this month's dream adventure, the barber's strength is completely different from that of a month ago.
Strangling referred to him as the most genius mage he had ever come into contact with.
At the beginning, the barber who only learned spells for three days was able to successfully arouse "anger".
So, under the careful guidance of Strangling, the barber who studied spells for a whole month......
Is it really as fragile as it was a month ago when the mages gathered?
"It seems that my forgiveness and kindness have given you the capital to rebel against me."
The godfather's deep voice became hoarse.
He looked down at the mercenaries who were kneeling on the ground.
He walked over slowly, gently stroking the greasy hair of the big mercenary.
The mercenary with Bear's Ears is like a dog with a tail between his legs at the moment.
"It shouldn't have been like this."
The Godfather sighed slowly, "But now it seems that the necessary sacrifices are needed.
"A dull man knows neither good nor evil. Only coke can prove the existence of fire......
"As it happens, the 'Godfather' hasn't killed the Uncensored of his own volition alone. This is the first time...... Thank you for your support and sponsorship. ”
As he spoke, he slowly grabbed the mercenary's hair, and his long, calloused fingers slowly tightened, lifting the mercenary's lowered head.
The godfather stared into his terrified eyes.
In the pupils that reflected the firelight, there was no longer the slightest courage from before.
"I've heard a saying, sir."
His hoarse and low, steel-like voice sounded slowly: "When you kill, look into the other person's eyes."
"If you hesitate, you shouldn't make a move."
After a short pause.
Dark red, ember-like flames suddenly flowed from the godfather's fingers.
- poured into the body of the bear-eared mercenary like molten iron!
He let out a terrible scream, and his body tried to struggle, but he couldn't move.
The prosthetic body of his right hand, as if it had been cut by a chainsaw, bloomed in flames with a brilliant golden streamer, and countless sparks scattered and burst apart like fireworks.
The execution lasted about ten seconds.
When the dark red flames dissipated, the man was covered with the dark golden cracks around the godfather's neck.
At first glance, it looks like countless "eyes" have opened on top of the charred black body.
"—it seems that I don't."
The godfather whispered.
He pushed the man away.
The sturdy mercenary who fell to his knees slipped and collapsed - when he fell to the ground, he broke into three or four pieces. At the cross-section, there is also a dark golden glow. And they are gradually dying out, turning crimson and then dark red.
…… It's still not as powerful as the spell of that strangulation.
He sighed in his heart.
But also because he is different from strangulation, there are also subtle differences in the spells obtained by the two:
The godfather held out his hand to the feline-like, leopard-eared man.
Dark red flames spread from his right hand, like vines, like tentacles, like chains.
It spread out in front of the man's face, crouching on the man's cheek like a starfish of flames.
With a vague scream, he was dragged to the ground and pulled to the godfather.
He fell to the ground, looking up at his godfather with tears in his eyes and fear.
"I'll spare your life."
The godfather looked down at him and said slowly.
Hearing this, the man's heart was full of fear and confusion.
…… What is he going to do?
But then, the hoarse voice of the godfather sounded: "And I will give you...... Power.
"Call me Godfather first."
“…… Teaching, Church Fathers......"
The man hissed and made a voice distorted by pain.
"Okay."
The corners of the godfather's mouth rose slightly: "My godson." You're the one with the veil of ignorance, right?
"In that case...... Come play a game with me, in the style of the Curtain of Ignorance. This is what your princes like. ”
The atmosphere on the field was extremely oppressive, except for the sobs and wails of men in pain, and the crackling of the remains of the bear-eared mercenaries.
Bigg and Lone Wolf looked at the godfather at this moment, and the fear and consternation in their eyes could not be suppressed at all.
It was also the first time they knew the good old man who always squinted his eyes and talked and laughed with them before...... Once you get angry, it can become so terrifying.
"There are eight of you. In addition to you, and the big guy, there are six left.
"I'm not going to ask whose orders you follow to find fault. But I want you to point out the closest and most familiar person [besides you] to the murderer behind the scenes. If no one else has objected to your designation...... More than half of the six people agreed with the result, and I killed that person. All of you who are left will survive.
"And if more than half of the people raise objections, I'll kill you and ask someone else."
The godfather's eyes were as crimson as embers, and there was no emotion in them.
The pupils were like a portal—endless anger turned into flames, coming from the other end of the pupils.
"Test your understanding...... and the time for 'loyalty', it's up. ”
