Blood of Mercury

Chapter 16: Murder Game (Medium)

Oakley and the others looked at each other.

Although they don't fully believe what the note says, their perception ability has indeed failed. On the basis of this kind of thing, even if the words on the note are absurd, they will subconsciously believe it.

Facing the bewildered gazes cast by his subordinates, Oakley gritted his teeth, put on his hood again to hide his panic, and shouted to the surroundings, "Everyone, gather here!"

The surroundings were noisy for a short period of time, and then began to flow towards Oakley in an orderly manner.

Once they lost their ability to perceive, these ashes were no different from ordinary people in the Dark Scar. Also, the line of sight was suppressed to within five steps, and it was pitch black outside the field of vision.

Rather, the situation of ordinary people without the transcendent vision provided by the heart of nature is better. Because when those ordinary people started from the sunset plain and walked all the way through the dark forest and the matte trail, their vision was limited step by step. Although they will be affected by the psychological pressure accumulated by the darker and darker environment when they enter the Trace of No Light, there is a gradual adaptation process after all.

Not so with the Ashes. They suddenly lost the perception ability of the heart of nature, as if a person under the hot sun suddenly entered a basement with no light, or a thief who had been sneaking in the dark for a long time was suddenly illuminated by a strong flash. In a considerable period of time, it can be said that he is much more blind than ordinary people.

Even under the influence of psychology, their vision is closer than the theoretical five steps, and basically they can only see themselves except those who are very close to them.

"Everyone should have just heard the words that the man disguised as Pars left us," Oakley said loudly to the surrounding. Everyone stares at everyone around. If someone has an accident, everyone around him must immediately warn!"

"It's only about two minutes, I hope everyone is more vigilant!"

Oakley slyly changed the concept.

He replaced the "people you can't afford to offend", which may refer to a certain person or an organization, with the one disguised as Pals. In this way, the Ashes will relax somewhat, or else they will have trouble sooner or later under the tense spirit.

Even if a few people do disappear, Oakley is not afraid. He doesn't care how many people he's killed here, but if that person's intimidation is not a one-off... For example, after a dead person appears, the **** note appears again, claiming that he is going to kill one person or something.

It would be bad if that were the case. The willpower of the Ashes is the lowest among all cultists, and there is even a precedent for confessing to a gathering place under torture - not in some strict military base, but only by the guards of a certain town. Just torture.

Oakley was a little anxious.

These Ashes have been a little confused by the sudden loss of perception. Once a chain of intimidation occurs, he is very worried that he will not be able to hold back.

If you really can't help but panic and run away... then it's over.

Under everyone's anxiety, two minutes passed quickly. To his surprise, no one suddenly disappeared.

Are intimidators really just intimidating? Is his real purpose just to escape?

Found that no one suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding noise gradually became louder. Just as this thought floated through Oakley's mind, a sudden thought flashed through his mind like a thunderbolt.

"Everyone! Form a column in front of me, and count from the back to the front!"

The Ash Disciples were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly gathered. Some of the smarter ones had already realized what had happened, and immediately turned pale and tightened their robes.

They were crowded with each other, and in about a few minutes they formed a column. After calming down again, the people in the back began to count:

"one!"

"two!"

"fifty two!"

"…"

Oakley was silent, his fists clenched tightly, and he didn't make a sound. The entire team seemed to realize something, and the atmosphere was suddenly suppressed.

All the Ashes, including him, only had fifty-three.

There were fifty-five people who came out from near the altar and Pars in disguise, but now there are only fifty-three...

when?

When did you disappear?

Oakley couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Wait, let me think about it..."

Oakley put his left hand on his forehead and said in a low voice. Then, he waved his hand casually to indicate that these people could be disbanded.

Just when the formation of these people was just disrupted and had not completely dispersed, Oakley, who had inadvertently stepped back, bumped into a pitch-black winged tree. Oakleaf, who felt that the touch was not right, immediately turned his head, only to find that a piece of white paper was lightly stuck on the pitch-black wing tree, and it fell to the ground under the collision just now.

Ignoring the ominous omens in his heart, he suddenly lowered his head and picked up the thing.

Unsurprisingly, it was white paper with the same texture as before.

Oakleaf's face was suddenly ugly, but he didn't care about anything, he unfolded the piece of paper to himself and whispered what was written on it: "Yes, you found the second piece of paper I left for you. Now , you should have seen my attitude and ability. Your father, I said, I have enough ability to clean up you bastards."

"What? You still don't admit defeat? You still want to play? Well, Dad, I'll accompany you to have a good time."

"I said: The next method of death is to be killed by a comrade. The time is still one minute, remember the boy, you can let them escape at will, I will tell you this, no matter how far away from me I can use it Kill you in one word."

"By the way, you are also within the scope of the deceased's selection."

A terrifying and exciting possibility came to his mind. He immediately grabbed the note and shouted at the crowd that had not completely dispersed: "Everyone disperse immediately! Everyone should not be within one meter of others! Then everyone should not move, and pay attention to the people around you! Anyone around Someone made a change and immediately shouted and stopped him - the murderer is between us!"

The Ashes cast their astonished eyes on him, and Oakley's heart was full of confidence and excitement for finding clues. He explained loudly to everyone, "Stay still and listen to me. I've seen through the man's trick! The man is trying so hard to make us think he has some kind of remote killing method, but he's in There is a flaw in the second note!"

"He definitely didn't kill our comrades from afar with some curse or decree! He called me lad, but I took off my hood after he was out of my sight, and in a short time I So I put it on again. The Ashes' hood can even isolate the magic of the detection camp, and it is definitely not something that ordinary witchcraft can see through. Then, if he is to curse and kill us in the distance after leaving, then it is How do you know my gender and age?"

"So, he definitely didn't leave! That man definitely didn't leave here! It must have been some kind of sleight of hand when we saw him away from here before, the murderer must have been in our ranks from the beginning—no, he wasn't a murderer, He's an assassin with blood on his fingertips, a shameless deceiver!"

Just when Oakleaf was in high spirits, he wondered if he had been thinking about making his brain active, and an overlooked detail appeared in his mind.

So he immediately shouted again: "There is blood on the murderer's robe! I remember his back was cut with a sharp object, revealing the flesh inside, and there was blood on the man's clothes!"

"Everyone, stand still and don't move. Check to see if anyone around you has blood on them! The one with blood is the assassin!"

Just as Oakley's words were just out of his mouth, someone immediately responded loudly from a distance: "I found it, it's her!"

Immediately, the eyes of everyone who could see turned to the direction of that person's fingers. After seeing that there was indeed blood on the back of the man, the others also shouted loudly: "There is indeed blood!", "Everyone, come on, this is the man!"

... not right. Answered too quickly.

Oakley vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while, so he had to squeeze in that direction along the flow of people.

But suddenly, the voice in front suddenly fell silent. At that moment, Oakley realized immediately that something must have happened over there.

While shouting loudly to let Jean, he pushed forward with all his might. Until they completely separated from the wall of the crowd, they found that everyone formed a circle to get out of the space inside. A strong sense of ominousness struck his mind.

Oakleaf felt a little stiff in his neck, and he forced himself to look over.

I saw a figure with a bumpy figure lying on the ground in the middle of everyone.

She opened her mouth slightly, and her mouth was full of blood. It probably fell out of her mouth when everyone "subdued" her. Not far from her mouth, a blood-soaked note fell to the ground. There was indeed blood on her back, but when Oakley saw her back, she felt a chill all over her body.

On her back was a melting scarlet spike.

It is a weapon called Scarlet Canine, a weapon that can only be used by the Ashes. It is made of the blood of the Ashes, and it becomes extremely sharp in the hands of the owner of the blood. Whenever it comes into contact with other life, Part of it will melt. In this way, whether it is held by others or dropped in the grass, it will melt into a pool of blood at an extremely fast speed. It's simply impossible to get hold of someone else and then kill someone else.

In the process of coagulation of the scarlet canine teeth, if some poison is added to the blood, some poison will be melted and penetrated into the enemy's body at the same time as it is pierced into the body. To be precise, not only poisons, but also liquid substances such as herbal juices for paralysis or strong acids can be mixed in. Once the Ashes are powerful to the level of Marco, UU www.uukanshu.com can even condense some small scarlet canines and keep them on the body for a long time as hidden weapons, or break through the limit of half arm length and turn the scarlet canines into spears Or weapons like rapiers.

Generally speaking, the correct way for the Ashmen to use this weapon is to mix some devil's body fluids or undead secretions into it. In this way, when the scarlet spikes of this quality pierce the body of the clergyman, the negative energy mixed with impurities will directly erode the internal organs from the wound. Once these priests tried to use the magic, their internal organs would be detonated due to the conflict of energy when the magic was condensed, and they would melt into a pool of blood afterward, leaving no trace at all.

There is no doubt that this is a weapon that only Ashes can use, but it is now being inserted into another Ashes, and she has only this wound all over her body, so the answer is self-evident.

Again...Is it realized?

Oakley trembled. He seemed to feel that everyone around him was laughing at his incompetence, and he clearly felt the panic and fear in the hearts of everyone.

...Or, is it because of fear in your heart?

Oakley smiled wryly, and picked up the third note from the ground, which was mostly stained red with blood.

He was acutely aware of the shaking in his heart.

Is this murderer really among us? What I see through... Is that what that person wants me to see through? How did he kill two people in a row?

Oakley sighed secretly and unfolded the note.

If nothing else, I am afraid that I am about to reach the limit.
