Chapter 6 Night Thorn
The night becomes darker.
Amy's slight snoring gradually stopped.
There was deathly silence in the medicine garden.
Crunch~
The sound of the wooden door being pushed open, which was not harsh, passed by without breaking the tranquility of the night.
“Who?” Yilan’s confused voice sounded.
"It's me."
"Uh Gothe? What are you doing here?" Yilan hadn't fully woken up yet, her head was still confused.
"Elan, I guess you should be deeply asleep at this point, so I came to find you"
"What do you mean...?" Yilan was about to get up, but in the night, through the moonlight, he could see a hazy figure, which had already moved to his bedside during the gap between words.
A dark figure was reflected on the wall. The figure's hand was holding a sharp knife, and it was stabbing him with the figure's hand falling.
Ah! !
Ilan was so frightened that his heart trembled. All his sleepiness was dispelled, and he suddenly woke up. Goosebumps appeared on his skin. He instinctively raised his right hand, trying to block the possible attack. .
It's too late.
There was a pop.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Something sharp and cold pierced his chest.
It was a table knife. The knife used to cut rye bread in the restaurant was not very sharp, but it was barely enough as a deadly weapon.
Gothe put his knee on Yilan's throat, and used his left hand to hold down Yilan's body. His right hand held the knife firmly.
puff! puff! puff!
He pulled out the table knife and stabbed it again, and again, and again
Scarlet blood flowed from his hand, which seemed warm in the cold night, but it was not Bring a little warmth to Gaode.
He just felt sick.
Gothe didn't stop until Yilan's body was completely limp and there was no longer any sign of struggle.
He gasped for air.
“It turns out that this is killing...”
Everything went as planned by Gothe, and it went more smoothly.
Elan, who has not yet fully recovered from her deep sleep, never thought that Gothe would dare to kill him. She had no power to resist Gothe's night attack.
Everything is much simpler than imagined.
But the discomfort of a first kill does not disappear just because it was planned.
“The King of Hell is very difficult to deal with. Even if Yilan doesn’t kill me directly like Master Seda, he always holds a grudge against me. Who knows what tricks he can use to disgust me.
And it’s not convenient for me to do what I do next if he keeps staring at me like this. Unless he dies, I won’t be able to feel at ease!” , this is a life-and-death feud, and blood debt must be paid with blood, as a matter of course."
"He forced me to do it."
Gothe's hands were still trembling, and he kept finding reasons to force himself to calm down and adapt.
Must adapt.
Gaode understands that given his situation, if he doesn't want to die, others will have to die.
Cang!
Suddenly, Gothe's pupils suddenly dilated, as if he saw something horrifying. He was even so shocked that the knife in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound when it collided with the floor.
After the murder, although Gothe's hands were shaking, he was not unable to hold a table knife firmly.
The reason for this was purely because he was startled.
Just now, Gothe clearly realized that the crescent moon gem that existed in his mind, but whose purpose he had never understood, seemed to be activated, and suddenly it bloomed and shimmered.
Following that, several lines of information interfaces that are common in games and novels appeared in front of him:
Origin:
Level 0——[Human] (1/7)
Spells:
Level 0——[Mage’s Hand], [Repair]
Very simple interface , it can even be said to be simple, with only two information columns in total, namely spells and origin.
The spell column shows exactly the two tricks that Gothe currently masters. Behind the two spells, there is a small yellow plus sign flashing.
This is a very familiar design, and anyone who has played the game can understand its meaning.
"Add points".
Gaode tentatively clicked the yellow plus sign behind the repair surgery with his mind.
The next moment, some information appeared in Gothe's mind inexplicably like an implanted memory.
"The source is not enough."
Obviously, adding points requires consuming the source.
Gaode's attention naturally turned to the source column in the interface.
【Humanity】(1/7).
The message was very brief, and there was no additional explanation, but Gaode understood it instantly.
He looked at Elan's body on the bed.
"Do you have to kill seven humans to get some origin?" Gothe murmured to himself.
It’s still dark.
Master Seda was awakened by the inexplicable noise in the medicine garden.
People of his age always sleep very lightly.
And he has always had a great temper.
He pushed open the door with dissatisfaction, and after walking a few steps, he grabbed a passing apprentice.
“What did you say?!”
After hearing the news that the apprentice tremblingly said, Master Seda couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
Through the long and narrow corridor, Master Seda came to the apprentice living area where he rarely visited on weekdays.
"Master Mage." An apprentice saw him and said with a panicked expression: "Ilan is dead."
"What's going on?" Although Master Seda's voice He still maintained a calm tone, but the coldness in it was clearly revealed.
“I just came here too.” The apprentice couldn’t answer and hesitated.
Mage Seda lost his patience and walked forward with a cold face, walking through the long and narrow corridor, and finally stopped in front of Yilan's door and looked inside.
I saw Yilan's not-so-tall body lying in a mess on the wooden bed against the wall, her chest was bloody, and her eyes were round and white.
Obviously, dead to the core.
The way of death is also very simple, stabbed to death.
The murder weapon should be a dagger-like blade.
Mage Seda frowned, suppressing the anger in his heart, and turned his eyes to the other corner of the room.
There was a young man sitting there, and on the ground beside him was a blood-stained table knife.
And his hands were covered in scarlet blood.
Master Seda usually doesn’t pay much attention to these apprentices, but his memory is not bad.
There is no such thing as a mage with a bad memory.
He remembered that this young man was the only apprentice who survived after testing the medicine for so many years.
“What did you do?” Master Seda asked, his voice full of dissatisfaction and coldness.
"Yes." Gothe raised his head and responded. His face was still pale at this time, but his eyes were very calm.
"What's going on?" Master Seda asked again.
"I first took away the knife used to cut bread while dining in the restaurant."
Gothe pointed to the blood-stained knife on the ground.
“Not very sharp, but enough.”
"Then, I waited until late at night, when I estimated that he was already asleep, and quietly touched him," Gothe explained: "He is older and stronger than me. If I don't find a good time, I may not be able to Kill him.”
“In the end, he died in my hands.”
Thanks to the leader of the good brother Weiming Chenguang!
The boss is confused!
