Chapter 4 Poor Acid College Tutor

The mysterious figure slowly walked towards the surviving assassin.

Knowing that he was no match for the other side, the Assassin began to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

"We know it's wrong! We are willing to bear all the compensation and are willing to do anything! ”

Even the words began to stutter, and the voice begging for mercy was even clearer and more poignant in the empty street.

But the mystery man didn't appreciate it at all.

Remaining silent, his brutal steps slowly approached the Assassin, announcing death with each step.

Eventually, the Assassins could not stand this torture.

"Damn it!"

The Assassin frantically condensed the fire elemental and began to smash fire magic at the mysterious man.

The mysterious man had no intention of dodging, and stubbornly accepted all attacks.

This is true elemental magic, not to mention a non-stop onslaught—either dead or wounded.

Loud explosions and thick smoke filled the empty streets.

It wasn't until the thief's strength was exhausted that the frightened and crazy flames were extinguished, and the hazy smoke obscured everyone's sight—

"Bone Blade."

Out of the smoke suddenly burst out a long knife of white bones made of cold white bones. The pale sword body and terrifying head shape, even if you only glance at it a few times, will still leave a lot of shadows in your heart, and even deeply reflect it in your mind.

Without human control, it plunged precisely and deeply into the Assassin's right chest, blood oozing through the placket.

The Assassin's bloodshot eyes widened with horror and pain.

"For ...... Why? ”

The assassin stared blankly at the smoke, and the figure of the mysterious man slowly stepped out of the smoke.

Unscathed.

It seemed that the mysterious man's gaze could be seen in the round hole in the mask—a contemptuous look.

Finally spoke.

"If you want to ask why I'm okay, you can give up - you won't understand."

"Do you want to ...... Kill me? ”

"Isn't my intentions obvious enough?"

The mysterious man said coldly, and then his left hand slowly raised - summoning the same terrifying white bone knife out of thin air.

It turned out that it was not a real knife that I carried with me, but a virtual weapon that was embodied by the elements.

"Bone Blade."

Without waiting for the Assassin to gasp, the Bone Knife that followed behind quickly shot the Assassin into the left thigh.

"Ah——————!h

The pitch-black Assassin's suit had been fully soaked in fresh blood, and the light suit had become heavy, though partly due to muscle weakness due to fear, and partly due to numbness caused by severe pain.

Although they are enemies with ill intentions towards themselves and their daughter, the father and daughter still have palpitations.

This is simply abuse.

The mystery man is very calm and seems to be used to this kind of image.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and if you answer me honestly, I'll let you go."

"Good ......"

The thieves who were in a cold sweat were already responding weakly, and their consciousness should have begun to blur.

But the mystery man doesn't care what the other person's state is.

"Are you minions from the Black Snake Organization?"

"No...... No. ”

The Assassin vetoed rather bitterly.

However, this answer seemed to displease the mystery man, and the bone knife on his left thigh was thrust even deeper.

The pain instantly woke up the thief who almost fainted.

"Uh——! I'm not lying! ”

"It's nothing, I just feel that the bone knife in my left chest is about to fall, and I'm making the knife go deeper."

"Good...... All right. ”

It sounds like a ridiculous excuse, but the current Assassins are at the mercy of the mysterious people.

"Then I'll continue to ask - how much do you know about 'black and white'?"

"Black and white ......? No...... I don't know. ”

"You really don't know? So who are you? ”

"We're just thieves sneaking in from outside town. Hearing about the poor security of this town, coupled with the serious collusion between officials and businessmen, he chose this town as a stable source of income. ”

"Do you look down on the civil self-defense groups in the town?"

"Absolutely...... There is no such thing! Just holding ...... Fluke mentality, please ...... Don't get me wrong. ”

"Really? Finally, let me ask you another question, what is your name? ”

"My name is ......"

It was clearly the last question, but it was surprisingly simple and easy to answer. As if seeing the dawn of hope, the strong will to survive made the thief exhaust his strength to squeeze out the correct words - the way to survive is coming!

That's how it should be.

Until the third white bone blade, which had been hidden for a long time, silently approached the thief's neck.

Kiss.

"Ah——————!h

The Assassins had not yet been named, and they were already in a different place.

A third bone knife appeared out of thin air next to the Assassin's corpse, blood dripping from its pale face.

"Huh? Did you accidentally make a move? ”

The mysterious man muttered to himself with pretended remorse, but his flat tone had already revealed his thoughts.

I had no intention of letting him go.

The splattered blood gushed from the severed neck, and the severed flesh trembled slightly.

Although the father trembled with fear, he did not forget to quickly cover his daughter's eyes.

The mysterious man's gaze seemed to turn to the father and daughter on the side.

"Are you survivors?"

Accosted!?

To survive...... Let's answer obediently.

"Yes...... Yes. Thank you for saving your life. ”

"It's just passing by. In other words, are there no residents in the houses around here? ”

The god looked charmingly, looking at the residents with closed doors and windows on both sides.

And ...... It's not clear, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

"It's very strange that such a noisy fight can be heard in the streets, but not half of the houses have reported it?"

"Seeing that the windows of the surrounding residents are all dark, I think I must be not at home, right?"

In fact, the old father also knows that these residents are afraid that they will be affected, and they will not save the father and daughter when they see death, right?

But it is human nature to fear death, and I don't blame these occupants at all. It is better to say that these residents did not die in vain to protect themselves, but I am very grateful to these residents for their choice.

However, the mystery man doesn't think so -

"The roundworms hidden in the shadows have no other use than to survive."

The words that sounded like they were angry sounded so profound that the old father couldn't understand them for a short time.

But by the time the old father realized it, the mysterious man had disappeared from his sight.

Screams encircled the empty streets, coming from the surrounding occupants with their doors and windows closed.

The street is shaped like hell.

What a terrible scream and the sound of furniture colliding, and the doors and windows of many households made of paper were stained with horrific blood.

The large blood stains on the doors and windows are all radioactive and diffuse bloodstains, and from the perspective of the old father, it seems that he is watching one canvas after another be stained with paint, and it seems that the heroic picture is describing fear.

The old father was so frightened that he began to incontinence, and the warm and smelly urine penetrated the crotch of his pants and stained his daughter's clothes

In about a few minutes, the mysterious man appeared in front of the old father again.

He said "I'm back" to the old father, and at the same time, the pair of bright red gloves seemed to be carrying a lantern-like orb - it turned out to be a lantern with various expressions painted on it.

It's all human heads with fear.

The figure of the mysterious man resembles a night watchman carrying a lantern of death.

threw the frightened faces in front of the old father's eyes, and the old father almost didn't throw up.

Only the daughter hiding in her arms did not see this horrific scene. But clinging to his throbbing chest, he knew that his father was witnessing horrific images that ordinary humans could not explain.

"I've checked it for you, and the surrounding residents are all at home."

"You...... Why would you want to do this? ”

"Actually, I've been around for a long time and witnessed the tragedy. To be honest, I originally wanted to die without help, but the roundworms around me made me feel very unhappy, and in order to satisfy my desire to kill, I hereby save you by the way. ”

“…… It turns out that your righteousness and courage are just an excuse to satisfy your desire to kill? ”

This answer made the old father feel angry at once, and it was this anger that suddenly forgot the fear of the mysterious man.

The mysterious man nodded calmly.

"This town has accumulated too much foul smell and must be cleared."

"Incomprehensible...... To commit such an unreasonable act, but in turn to say that these residents are filthy breath. ”

"No need to understand."

At this time, the mysterious man looked at the daughter in the old father's arms as if he was staring at a new prey, and his cold gaze burst out of the hole in the mask. The old father really felt this cold air full of murderous intent, and hugged the daughter in his arms even tighter.

After observing quietly for a few seconds, the mysterious man took the initiative to ask unexpectedly:

"I'd like your consent - excuse me, can you be killed by me?"

"What's ...... What!? What exactly are you talking about? ”

"Hmm...... You have the value of being cut by me, and this value is very precious, precious enough for me to do it. ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute! Didn't you just save us? Isn't this going to kill us? ”

Even the tone is back to the original "you", and it seems that you are very afraid of death.

No, it's not so much the fear of death as the fear of losing the care of her father.

The old father's fierce resistance was not unexpected.

"That's not what I said – your life and death are in my hands, and you can only continue to live if I allow you to live. I protect you just because I don't want to give up the right to life and death to this group of thieves, that's all. ”

“…… Can't understand it, but I beg you! My daughter needs my care, and I can't let her become an orphan from an early age. ”

"Need your care ......? It's really unsuccessful. ”

disgusted the old father's thoughts, and at the same time, a white bone blade faintly appeared next to the old father's neck.

The old father, who was watching intently for fear of the mysterious man, did not notice it at all.

"Please be grateful and set foot on Huangquan Road! Of course – the one to thank is, of course, me. ”

"Please spare the old man! At least...... At least! Let me raise my daughter as an adult and kill me! ”

“…… By that time it will be too late. ”

In an instant, a cold chill seeped into his neck, and the final picture stayed on the mysterious man's face-

Removing that cold and cruel disguise, what catches your eye is unexpected sadness. The deep eyes flickered apologetically, and the pale skin seemed to tell the last pure white, and the slightly opened lips and teeth.

It seems that the sense of hearing is also deprived, but even so, the farewell words gathered in a deep voice can be heard.

I'm sorry.

Say goodbye to the cruel world.

A dead silence of brief suffocation.

Waiting for her daughter to feel that the reassuring hug disappeared instantly, she opened her eyes suspiciously.

The picture in front of her will become the most painful scar in her life-

The old father died.

On that corpse, a right foot was trampling on the corpse of the old father—the mysterious man in the mask.

What kind of mood did she have in the face of this kind of scene, her daughter didn't think about it at all.

But on the white face full of tears, there was more anger and hatred that should not be that of a simple girl.

Glaring at the mysterious man in front of him.

"Don't you run away?"

"You killed my father......?"

"If you have time to care about a cold corpse, you might as well try to escape from here. I'm going to kill you. ”

"Kill me if you kind!"

The girl yelled as she almost broke down.

"Don't take death so cheaply—"

In the blink of an eye, the mysterious man disappeared in front of the girl in an instant.

In an instant, he appeared behind the girl, and slammed the back of the girl's neck with a knife, hitting the paralyzing nerves heavily.

"Woo——————!"

The girl suddenly lost her strength, and lay on the ground with weak limbs, lying beside her dead father like fate.

The eyes that were about to close were no longer strong and glared at the mysterious man.

A melancholy filled with sadness and incomprehension flowed from the girl's eyes and was conveyed to her father, who had stopped breathing.

With a peaceful and closed old face, the girl recalled the beauty of the past, and in an instant, it seemed to return to the time when she was born.

The blurred vision was about to descend into darkness, and the voice of the mysterious man was heard behind him again.

"If you hate me, find a way to get stronger—I look forward to your revenge."

The final proclamation faded into the footsteps that gradually walked away.

The demon in the white mask, wearing pure white demonic gloves, wielded the treacherous magic of the bones.

In the tears of the loss of a loved one, the eyes with hatred fell asleep.

——January 26, 1928——

Morning newspapers fill the noisy town—

The latest news of "a large number of corpses lying in the streets" continues to circulate through the town.

The people were all in a panic mood and discussed one after another.

Because this large-scale murder occurred in a wealthy area where the army was heavily guarded, not to mention a murder, not even a minor crime such as robbery and abduction. It has really made the public question the authority of the government's military power.

The government, of course, will not tolerate such a fact.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Forts, who had no classes scheduled, hung around the perimeter of the academy as usual.

Probably to enjoy the peace of the morning alone, he made a point of looking up at the sky by the undisturbed riverside.

The seemingly depressed face god seems to have something on his mind.

The riverside today is very noisy.

The air that should have been quiet was filled with the crisp footsteps of the ironclads, sounding urgent and restless.

Forts deliberately ignored the noisy footsteps behind him, still admiring the blue sky.

But left alone by the empty riverside, Forts soon became a target for the ironclads.

The sound of neat footsteps was beginning to approach Fortes' back.

Fortes wasn't stupid either—sensing the other party's intentions, he took the initiative to turn away.

A relaxed and kind smile greeted the dignified ironclad army.

"May I ask ...... you?"

"I'm the captain of the 3rd Iron Guard under the government Praetorian Guard."

"It's the great captain of the Iron Guard, what are you looking for me to do?"

"Nothing, just wanted to ask you some questions."

One of them, a stout ironclad soldier with a hard spear, approached Fortes with a guard.

Judging from the posture and tone, it is indeed the captain of these ironclad soldiers.

The unarmed left hand picked up the newspaper that had gone viral this morning, and the captain unceremoniously shoved it in front of Fortes.

"Do you know this man?"

It's hard to see from such a close distance—Fords reluctantly took a few steps back.

"Let me take a closer look—"

Forts stared intently at the newspaper written in sheepskin.

The content in the newspaper is quite concise -

- The discovery of a large number of corpses of people in a certain area was carried out in a rather brutal manner, and it was inferred that the suspect should be a habitual offender.

In addition to the condensed text, there is also a delicate hand-painted portrait.

It is a man wearing a white mask.

However, only the face is drawn, but there is no other part of the body.

Forts read it repeatedly, and a vague question appeared on his indifferent face—as if he was looking for something.

But these ironclads don't have the leisure to let Fortis stall for time.

Soon he took back the newspaper in his hand.

The solemn captain asked rather unceremoniously.

"Any clues?"

"It's not a clue. But this man is wearing a white mask, how can I possibly know who this person is? ”

"And have you seen anyone carrying a similar mask nearby or further away?"

"Well...... Not very impressed. ”

Forts responded lightly.

A sense of loss wafted out of the ironclad army in an instant—the pressure from the government was really not small.

I don't know if it's because of the anger caused by the fruitless search, the ironclad captain immediately changed the topic.

The focus of the conversation suddenly fell on Fortes.

"In that case—what are you doing standing here alone?"

"Huh? Does this have anything to do with what you're searching for? ”

"I just think you're suspicious—"

Captain Ironclad looked at Fortes with suspicion.

Fortis was not suspicious in terms of dress or demeanor - except for the peculiar aura of his body.

But this is also the boundary of the St. Goethe's Wizarding Academy, and such an ordinary appearance should not appear here.

"This area is the boundary of the St. Goethe's Magic Academy, so you shouldn't be a mentor like this, right?"

Why? I don't look bad, do I? ”

"It's not about your appearance—you don't look like a teacher."

A tricky taunt elicited a sneer from the ironclad soldiers behind him.

However, Fortes didn't care about the ironclad's taunts, and instead smiled.

"It sounds ridiculous, but I'm exactly what you think of as a poor acid academy tutor."

Fortes introduced his identity quite solemnly.
