Chapter 45: The Mystery Man
But it's a pity that this is not acting, it's a "tragedy" that really happened to Wu.
Tyre listened quietly.
It's like Wu's listener, and he has become the only friend around Wu.
As everyone knows, it is a living enemy.
"Are you done?"
"What?"
"O Prince—though the root cause of all this is not yours, you have no right to argue with it."
"Why?"
"It's very simple – naivety leads to disaster, what you think is good is evil in the eyes of others, and what you think is sacrificed doesn't necessarily help the other person, it's a very 'self-righteous' mentality."
"Am I self-righteous? As a filthy traitor, why do you judge my personality! ”
"Doesn't it make sense? So let me ask you a question - what do you think Levikino thinks of you? ”
"That's it...... O companion! ”
"Really? Do you know what Levikino said before he died? ”
"Say...... What? ”
"Before I started torturing him, I asked him a question - 'What do you think Prince Wu holds in your heart?'
"How did you answer that?"
"He actually said, 'You are a noble existence in his heart that cannot be easily touched, and you will feel pressure just by talking together, not to mention that you have become a burden to you, which makes him feel remorse for his injury'."
"How so!? I said I don't care! ”
"That's just your personal thoughts. It doesn't mean that Levigno thinks so. ”
"How could it be ......?"
"You know now, right? This is your self-righteous kindness, which in the end only creates a shadow for others. ”
It turned out to be me...... Is it too chicken?
Could it be that Grossar sees himself this way?
Treat me as a friend all the time, but in fact, they just take care of my feelings?
My father promoted me as the next successor, perhaps just to make up for my mother's remorse when she died?
At the end of the day – am I still alone?
The trembling hands gradually clenched into fists, and Wu fell silent.
But Tyre wasn't about to stop his taunts.
"But it's a pity—"
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity that I didn't let you see the process of Levichinu's 'tragic death' with your own eyes."
How excessive, Wudu was so angry that his eyes widened again.
"I've always been used to starting with my chest and working my way down. Levikinu was no exception, every knife was really slashed at Levikinu's flesh and bones, and he kept screaming with 'joy'! ”
"Shut up ......"
Completely disregarding, it should be said that it was a deliberate attempt to torture Wu's spirit, Thiel recounted this brutal "torture" process in a very sharp tone.
"From cutting the belly to cutting off the thighs, the process seems to be more interesting to him, and the cries are getting more and more interesting."
"Please...... Shut up ......"
"And more! Did you know? He's been calling your name! Maybe it's expecting you to save him? Anyway, that scream is very ecstatic! ”
"You shut up ————! me"
Wu finally yelled helplessly.
At the same time, the unthinkable happened-
It was as if an untouchable aura erupted from Wu's body just now.
Even if it was fleeting, Tyre saw it—the pitch-black vapor shook outward like a storm circle.
Tyre felt this aura deeply, and was suddenly a little frightened, and did not continue.
However, Wu himself does not seem to be aware of it.
The nerves are about to weaken, so naturally they won't notice this.
But this is indeed a very strange phenomenon - it is an aura beyond magic, and it does not belong to any element.
Tyre himself was completely unable to explain the feeling.
Wu didn't care about the horror on Tyre's face, and continued to ask Tyre.
"Why? You could have chosen to kill us at any time, so why should you choose to do so here? ”
This question woke up a terrified Tyre.
Although it is impossible to explain the phenomenon just now, things still have to be done.
hurriedly put the suspicions just now, and pretended to look at Wu calmly.
"It's simple – to explore here."
"Here?"
"Please take a look around here!"
Since Tyre said so, Wu naturally turned his head curiously to look around.
It's a stunning picture.
On the wooden floors, there are scattered gold and silver treasures, intricately carved bronzes, jewel-encrusted ornaments – and of course many more novelties.
As long as you take any of them, it is enough to make a person enjoy the glory and wealth of several lifetimes.
These treasures are all hidden inside this temple.
Of course, the bronze tools he kicked earlier also came from these expensive iron tools.
Shocked by these treasures, Wu finally wanted to confirm where he was.
Look around in disbelief - the walls are covered with chandeliers that need to be lit by candles.
Perhaps in the beginning, the temple was not lit up so that nothing could be seen.
However, I am not in the space where I came in at the beginning.
Since there is no gate leaving the temple nearby, it is speculated that this is a room in the temple.
And he was tied to the right corner of the room, which was also one of the stone pillars.
The walls appear to be made of some kind of iron ore, carved with arranged scriptures, but not in the words of modern civilization.
Seeing this, naturally there is no need for Terdo to say it.
"You want to use me and Levikino just to be able to get here?"
"That's right—I've long heard that in order to suppress the powerful soul of gluttony, Emperor Discent used the 'soul sealing' treasures of various countries to offer it here. In the black market, the circulation value of these treasures is very high. ”
"That's not going to work! If you take away any of the treasures, won't it weaken the gluttonous seal? ”
"What can be the difference if you just take one?"
"If I can't say it, I can't say it! I can't allow you to ruin the fruits of my father's efforts! ”
"You're already dying, and you still think of yourself as a noble prince?"
"Shut up! If you do this, you will only bring death to yourself! ”
"If that's the case, then I'll admit it. But - you won't be the one who killed me. ”
A hateful smile despised the helpless Wu.
Wu still tried to break free, but Tyre was unable to do anything about it.
"Don't struggle. I was going to torture you a bit, but it was too late, and it seems that I can only get rid of you as soon as possible. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Tyre's feet began to move forward—in the direction of Wu.
"You...... Don't come here! ”
"Please don't put on such an expression, at least you are still a fairly wise person in my heart."
"Don't come here!"
Wu Wu, who had no way to break free, could only roar along with the will to survive, but it was completely useless.
Tyre had already lifted his knife and stood less than five centimeters away from Wu.
It was also at that moment that Wu held a strong unyielding and powerless acceptance of the facts.
"By the way, I'm afraid that your death is not clear - the poison gas that I emitted in advance for you and Levikinu is a poison gas called 'Hyakyeko'. It is a high-level poisonous magic created by the great evil god 'Eclipse God'. ”
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I want you to know that this poisonous magic is so rare in the human world that it can even be used as a secret weapon. It's such a precious poison gas - just to show my gratitude for being taken care of by you along the way. ”
"I don't know if I should thank you or not, but you are the most evil person I have ever seen."
I couldn't feel the slightest hint of anger or fear anymore, and Wu was relatively calm.
"I will take this sentence as your compliment to me, and accept it sincerely."
"I'll feel sad about that."
"No—you won't feel bad about it anymore."
At the same time, the knife in Tyre's right hand was slowly picking it up.
A pocket knife still stained with blood.
"Alas......"
Wu Zizi knew that he could no longer break free, and finally sighed lightly and closed his eyes quietly.
Until the cold chill hit his neck, Wu took a breath.
The darkness brought by closing his eyes makes Wu fall into the marquee of life - his father, his brother, his uncle, Grossar, Dora......
There are many, many figures, all of whom are the owners and residents of the market who treat themselves as friends and relatives.
If you can turn into a soul after death, you will definitely wait silently by their side.
Protect them.
Even if you don't know you're dead, that's okay.
At least I lived in their hearts.
Become an eternal memory.
"Goodbye - I think you're a funny person, but it's a pity that you're the target of my mission."
These were the last words that Tyre gave to Wu.
A short cold wind blew - a silent departure.
Aside from the pool of fresh blood on the ground, all that remained was the sound of some kind of object falling on the ground.
Thiel looked at the second artwork quietly, his face a little reluctant.
This seems to be the end of everything, but it is the beginning of calamity.
The lengthy "mission" was completed, and Thiel had no intention of cleaning up the site.
The two silent corpses looked at each other, leaving them to stay together after their deaths, dying together as "friends".
It is no longer clear what is good and what is evil.
"Alright—it's time to pick what treasure to take with you this time."
Walking around the room, you can enjoy it like a child choosing a gift.
But the excitement didn't last long.
- because someone came.
There was a long "squeak," a footsteps from another room.
Thiel was shocked.
When Ming Ming first arrived, it was only himself and the other two.
Now that Wu and Levikino are here, whose footsteps will they be?
The footsteps were still creaking, and the rhythm was slow and regular.
Not only does it prove how old the wooden floor of the temple is, but it also boldly says that I am walking to your room.
What to do? Could it be a ghost hovering here?
Thiel doesn't know.
But what is certain is that it is better to find a place to hide first.
Before the footsteps could get closer, Tyr hurriedly hid in the stone pillar behind Wu and looked at the doorway in the distance.
"Squeak-squeak-squeak-"
The footsteps continued, and they grew louder and louder, as if they were almost there.
Even though he was still the executor who decided the lives of others a second ago, Tyre still couldn't hide his fear and embarrassment.
It wasn't until the figure appeared through the gate that Tyre finally let go of his fear.
Instead, there was a look of wonder why you were here.
"You are!?"
No longer hiding in the stone pillars, Tyre finally stepped out.
It was a mysterious man in a pitch-black cloak, his face obscured by the shadow of the cap.
The height is estimated to be close to two hundred centimeters, and even with a fluffy cloak, you can still see that the mysterious person is strong.
However, Tyre seemed to have seen him before, but he was puzzled by the appearance of the mysterious man.
When the figure of the mysterious man appeared in the doorway, he stopped walking into the room.
Instead, he stood quietly at the door, staring at Wu who was tied to a stone pillar and died a tragic death.
Tyre didn't care about this strange behavior, and opening his mouth was an impolite accountability.
"Why are you here?"
"En......"
There was only a dull "Eun", and Tyre had no idea what the mysterious man was trying to say.
"What the hell do you want to do? And - how did you find here? ”
"Good work, your 'mission' has been completed."
"What?"
An inexplicable paradox came out of the mouth of the mystery - in an extremely dull tone.
Tyre didn't understand it at all, so he could only answer the question and answer from the key word that the mysterious mouth said, "mission".
"Do you mean my plan by 'mission'?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway - please leave. ”
"Let me go? Why? ”
"The next thing - you have no right to interfere."
"What's the matter?"
"No mortal has the right to know."
There was a flat tone mixed with firmness.
The mysterious man raised his right hand coldly, as if preparing to launch some kind of spell.
Of course, Tyr didn't give the mystery man room to move - he was prepared to cast his magic quickly.
"Muscle weakness!"
Activate the spell on the mysterious man with his eyes, and the spell is successfully activated.
Poison is integrated into the line of sight and injected into the body by eye contact.
And "muscle weakness" can dissolve the muscles of the human body in a short period of time, so as to subdue the enemy's actions.
Smug eyes looked at the still mysterious man, but not as Tyre had expected.
Although the mysterious man was still, he did not show the slightest discomfort.
"Is that your answer?"
A disapproving question completely negates the toxic effect of "muscle weakness" on the mysterious man.
"How is that possible? Magic fails? ”
"I said it - you have no right to interfere, even if it hasn't started yet, but you haven't escaped the facts."
"What the hell are you talking about? Since it doesn't work, let's use a stronger - 'ghostly poison'! ”
Take a deep breath to fill your ribcage and instantly fill it like a big ball.
And then it erupted again - a dark green poisonous mist that erupted in large numbers towards the mysterious man.
This is a high-level poisonous magic that can kill a person with just one puff of inhalation, and it is extremely dangerous.
However, the mysterious man just didn't hide, and still stood in place.
The figure was also swallowed by a large amount of poisonous mist.
"You're going to die."
Thiel said confidently.
But this confidence did not exceed three seconds - it was the annoying figure again, standing unmoved.
Finally, Tyre panicked.
"I can't touch this kind of thing. Well—it's time for you to leave. ”
Seeing that the other party seemed to be making a move, Thiel immediately took a defensive stance.
Super vigilant raised the knife, staring intently at the mysterious man.
But this is not a speed that is within the reach of the naked eye - in the blink of an eye, the mysterious man suddenly stands in front of him.
Obviously, there was a distance of ten meters between the two just now, but now there is only a distance of ten centimeters.
"Woo————!"
Tyre exclaimed, feeling something push her stomach.
When I looked down, it was the right hand of the mysterious man.
The cloak obscures the mysticist's entire arm, but the back of the veined hand is still clearly visible.
The palms of his hands were covered with tattoos of some kind of unknown scripture, similar to those on the surrounding walls.
With just one glimpse, Tyre fell backwards.
But the mysterious man had prepared the tools to take on Tyr in advance, a portal to other places.
The sight seemed to be about to fall off a cliff, and Tyr could only look up at the mysterious man who was fading away, and fell into the portal without any suspense.
The swollen figure left the place without warning, and the mysterious man waved his right hand to close the portal.
The room fell silent again.
After the silence, the mysterious man slowly walked in front of his destination, Wu.
The corpse was already a little cold, and even starting to stiffen a little.
Watching quietly, in the drooping brim of the hat, I don't know what kind of eyes to look at.
What is certain is that the mystery man cares a lot.
At this point, the mysterious man suddenly made a move.
Pick up the head on the ground.
The face of the dead was sleeping peacefully, and it could never wake up.
But in front of the mysterious man, he didn't intend to let Wu sleep any longer.
As if he regarded the head of the Wu as a treasure, the mysterious man held it in his arms quite cautiously.
Then the first words after the silence were spoken-
I'm sorry.
What do you do when the world goes dark? 》
Kindness? Is that voice again?
Would you choose to sit on the sidelines? Or do you choose to save? 》
Who the hell is it?
Whatever you choose, I'll be watching. 》
Where does this sound come from?
In the endless darkness on that side. 》
And also...... Where am I?
Why can't I see anything?
Not only can't you see it, but you don't even feel it?
Oh yes, I'm dead.
He died too hastily, and it seemed to be easier than expected.
I don't know if I'll look ugly when I die.
But I don't have a down-and-out ghost howl, right?
If there's a real chance of becoming a ghost, I'll probably look at my dead body first.
But, before that-
Who are you?
"I thought you would ignore me all the time, but I didn't expect to take the initiative to talk to me. 》
I had this plan, but you're so annoyed.
"I'm sorry if I make you feel irritable. 》
And - why do you keep talking about abstract things and listen to them awkwardly.
