Chapter 211 Soul Hunter
"Good morning, Lula." Janos put down the cup and looked at Lucian.
"Father, good morning." Lucian responded, but under the observation of his [Mind Reading] talent, he could clearly see that the surface of Janos' body seemed to be covered with a black filter, covering his entire body. They were all rendered in black, and it looked as if they were wearing a horror filter.
If you look closely, you can even see a faint hint of scarlet underneath the surging black.
Malice, and very strong malice!
Lucian tried his best to stabilize his emotions mentally so that his expression could appear normal. He quickly controlled [Lula] to sit down in his seat, then lowered his head and tried hard to turn his attention away from Asia. North shifted to the food in front of him.

However, when cutting a piece of sausage, Lucian was still a little nervous and used too much force. The knife hit the dinner plate with some force, making a loud noise and attracting the attention of several people on the side. come over.
"Why are you so careless?" Janos's attitude seemed to be no different from usual. He picked up his knife and took this opportunity to retell the dining etiquette to Lula, as if he was a true chef. A loving father, but the blackness lingering around him was so strong that even Lucian could not ignore it.
He quietly looked at the servants, the two "brothers" and the "mother" on the side, and found that the emotions of these characters appeared to be very normal, and they were all based on "friendliness" and "closeness".
Only the emotional color outside the body of "Second Brother Carol" has a trace of light black airflow, but that airflow does not bring any sense of danger to Lucian, combined with the bright yellow body on his body that mainly represents high-spiritedness. , allowing Lucian to easily deduce that he was planning some harmless prank.
Kojanos…
Lucian lowered his head slightly. At this time, he had the urge to use his [Mind Reading] talent to read the true thoughts in Janos's heart, but he was also worried that his "Mind Reading" ability would be intensified if Janos perceived it. The crisis you are facing.
For example, Janos is actually played by a certain "player", and he happens to have items or means to defend against mind-reading or mind-control. Then when he realizes that he is being read, he will definitely He will adopt a more violent response, or even... directly look for opportunities to kill himself during the day.
Thinking of this, Lucian suppressed his inner impulse, and at the same time thought about all the speculations that Janos had strong ill will towards him.
Is it because of [Janos]’s identity and some dissatisfaction with [Lula]? For example, suddenly find that the top of your head has changed to a different color or something? Or did you know from some source that I was the real culprit behind the murder in the library?
One thought after another quickly passed through Lu Xian's mind, but he felt that it was a bit far-fetched to explain. After all, if the above are possible, then there is no need for Janos to continue to play the role of a loving father in front of a child, and Lula's mother cannot be as calm as she was just now...
Then...it must be malice that comes from the identity of [Janos].
Lucian silently picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. At this time, he was more than 70% sure that the identity of [Janos] was also played by the player.
Is it thunder and lightning? Or is it a player who accidentally noticed something unusual about himself?
Thoughts quickly flashed through Lu Xian's mind. At a certain moment, his right hand touched his storage ring, thinking about killing [Janos] directly through a sneak attack. possibility.
But Lucian soon gave up this idea. After all, if he uses the identity of [Lula] to kill [Janos], it will have extremely bad consequences, and even the identity of [Lula] will be directly executed by other guards of the Mentel family...
Even if he is not executed, this act of killing the character's "close relatives" must seriously violate what the character should do, and may attract attention or even punishment according to the rules of the dream.
Lucian estimated that the player who played the role of Janos probably had similar concerns to himself, which was why he did not attack him directly.
What's more, it is very difficult to rely on the power of [Lula] to kill Janos. After all, Janos is a powerful saint-level awakener, and his talent in controlling flames is comparable to that of a first-level wizard. He is also proficient in knight fighting skills.
Even if he does not use his extraordinary talents, I am afraid that with his excellent physical fitness and skilled combat skills, even a dozen well-trained soldiers will not be able to kill Janos in a short while.
And when he knows that he is suspected of being a player and has strong malice towards him, the player playing the role of Janos will definitely be wary of [Lula]. In this case, there is no sneak attack at all. There is a possibility of success, and you may even accidentally give the other party a reason to kill yourself in a fair and just way.
Lucian lowered his head, chewing the food carefully while thinking quickly about possible solutions. "The identity of killing Janos is definitely a lose-lose situation for me. After all, without the protection of my father, the identity of [Lula] will inevitably suffer a strong impact, and the trajectory of my subsequent life will also be affected. Big changes, don’t choose this path unless you have to.”
Lucian put down his dinner knife and noticed from the corner of his eye that Janos had finished his breakfast and left. He couldn't help but speed up his eating. At the same time, he also raised his head and looked at Janos who was exuding a rich black aura.
"The best way is to solve the player's identity. And my biggest advantage now is that he doesn't know that I have noticed his identity. I must take advantage of this information gap. Maybe this is how I can reverse the situation." key factor in the situation.”
…
Night fell again, and Lucian quickly separated from Lula's identity. At the same time, he picked up the quill from the inside of the storage ring and added three drops of special golden ink to it.
Then Lucian took out a piece of white paper and prepared to write a new law on it. However, when Lucian waved the quill with some difficulty, he found that he had not left any useful words on the white paper.
"Two-legged hairy monster, don't bother. You have already written a 'law' before, and you cannot write a second law again before it is consumed." Count Thanasis's voice spoke in Lucian The sound echoed in his mind, causing Lucian to stop what he was doing.
"What a pity." Lucian shook his head helplessly. He originally thought that he could help himself gain a major advantage by writing a highly targeted "law", but after hearing Count Thanasis' reminder, he He was reluctant to destroy the original "law" that was used to save his life.
"In addition, I would like to remind you not to change the rules too frequently, because this will attract unnecessary attention." Count Thanasis said in a faint voice, "Moreover, every time you 'distort' the rules, you are changing the rules." Provocation, so next time you bend the rules, you will pay a higher price."
Lucian couldn't help but frowned for a moment while listening to Count Thanasis' explanation. But then his brows slowly opened again, and then he let out a breath. "Yes, if it were so easy to bend the rules every time, given the difficulty of obtaining ink, I am afraid that many players in this world would have been twisted into a four-dimensional image."
"It's good that you know. After all, you don't have the strength of me..." Count Thanasis muttered, as if he wanted to brag about himself, but he was strongly suppressed by the dream world, and he was only halfway through his words. He couldn't help but yawn, and his voice gave people an unusually tired feeling.
"Thanasis, do you have any good suggestions?" Lucian seized the time and quickly asked Count Thanasis, a "local", for advice.
The only response to Lucian was Count Thanasis' somewhat deliberate snoring.
The corner of Lucian's mouth twitched twice, but he also understood that this was Count Thanasis' way of expressing that he was helpless. He could only find a way now.
"Huh? Someone is coming?" Lucian suddenly noticed something. He quickly merged with the identity of [Lula], but he did not control Lula to wake up from his sleep. Instead, he waited silently and did the same thing. I am ready to activate the law I wrote before at any time.

As the doorman was gently pushed open, Lucian saw a faint blue "octopus" walking into the room.
"Soul Hunter!" Lucian's consciousness couldn't help but tremble slightly, because there are also records of this special life form in the collection of Ashes College. Lucian also saw some of these when he was looking at books related to the goblin clan. records of living things.
However, according to the records in those books, this extremely evil life has long been extinct in the wizarding world, and only a handful of wizards still retain specimens of this creature. But he didn't expect that he could actually find a living soul hunter in the dream world!
You must know that this kind of evil creatures called soul hunters, their staple food is the souls of humans or other humanoid intelligent life forms! They rely on devouring the souls of these intelligent species to improve themselves and even reproduce.
They can even use some special "cooking methods" to select some souls from the souls they "eat" to become their avatars, obtain some of the memories, fighting methods and emotions of those souls during their lifetime, and let them disguise themselves as the victim's. The identity continues to live, lasting anywhere from 5 to 15 years.
It can be said that soul hunters are the natural enemies of intelligent creatures such as humans. For this reason, almost all intelligent species will consciously suppress these terrifying soul hunters and drive them to extinction.
But now, this evil, extinct creature appeared in front of Lucian as an opponent, and it was getting closer step by step!
