War Paradise

Chapter 911 Dark Blood

“Let go of me… Let go of me! Uuuuu…”

The little boy in the old linen shirt yelled without a few words, and was simply and neatly sealed with black tape by a man and a woman, only making a vague sound.

The iron chains that bound his wrists and ankles fastened him firmly to a wooden board, and his body was completely immobile.

The child’s eyes widened in horror, staring at the pair of black-clothed men and women in front of him, only to see that the skin of the two men was sickly pale, and the blue blood vessels were clearly visible.

“Good, obedient.”

The thin, short-haired woman stretched out her skinny right hand and touched the boy’s cheek. Her fingers were extremely cold, like a corpse that had lost its temperature.

“Woo…”

The boy kept struggling, shaking the iron chain and making a clatter, but it was a pity that it was impossible to break the iron lock on his body with his strength alone.

Snapped!

The man’s temper was obviously not as good as the woman’s, so he slapped the boy straight and neatly, and the boy’s face suddenly swelled up.

The intense fear even overwhelmed the physical pain, so that the boy could hardly feel the pain. He struggled even harder when he saw the red eyes of two adults lit up.

“Tomorrow you will be good~”

The woman chuckled softly, and turned to leave this simple “guest room” with the man, leaving only the teenager who was tied to the wooden board facing the sky, sobbing to get rid of the shackles of her body.

He didn’t know what place it was. He just remembered that he went shopping on the street at night, and suddenly his eyes went dark, and then he became unconscious.

When he woke up again, he appeared in this ghost place.

“God Mephistopheles, please help me…”

Imitating the way his parents prayed, the boy prayed over and over again in his consciousness, desperately seeking help from the “god”. Two tears from the corners of his eyes left brown streaks on the dirty face.

Then, the street light outside the window suddenly flickered.

——Could it be that Mephistopheles appeared?

The boy opened his eyes laboriously, turned his head and looked out the window through a teary, dim look. A Daoist shadow appeared in front of the window, blocking the light of the street lamp.

“Mmm…”

The boy tried to make a sound to let the other party know the current situation.

——The child’s thinking logic is not as complicated as that of an adult. From the boy’s point of view, the person who appeared at the window was the messenger sent by God Mephistopheles to save Own. As long as you can attract the other’s attention, you can be saved!

Under the boy’s gaze, the “messenger” used a dagger to pry open the window without making a sound. Then he stepped into the room from the window, wearing a coat, leaving a long shadow on the floor.

Seeing the dark silhouette of the other party, the boy trembled with excitement. at this time–

“Don’t make a noise! ​​Damn…” Impatient curses sounded outside the door.

With a bang, the door was roughly kicked open. The man in black glared with scarlet eyes. He was about to raise his hand to beat the kid he had caught, but he immediately noticed the other person standing in the house.

“you–”

The man stared at the “messenger” with wide scarlet eyes, and was roughly interrupted by the messenger when he was about to say something.

The messenger threw an unknown object in his hand. Although there was no object in sight, the boy still noticed the existence of the object through the airflow in the room.

With a crisp sound, the red-eyed man’s body was cut in two, and his upper body slowly slipped down, without a drop of blood flowing out of the wound.

After witnessing an incredible scene, the boy was already dumbfounded. At this moment, the woman just now also came upstairs.

“What’s wrong, dear—”

The messenger strode forward, bent over to pick up the invisible weapon, raised his hand to behead the woman with a knife, and the two prisoners who kidnapped the boy turned into pale corpses.

After solving the two people in the house, the messenger raised his hand and waved an invisible weapon, cut off the iron chain that bound the boy’s limbs, and then reached out his hand to tear off the tape on the boy’s face, and put the same abnormally pale face in front of the boy. :

“Thank you…” the boy cowered.

When the “messenger” approached, the boy also noticed that the other person’s appearance was a little strange, and at the same time, there was a pungent stench that made him cough again and again.

“Hello.” The messenger took a step back in embarrassment and took off the mask covering his face.

Needless to say, the “messenger” who broke into the window and rescued the boy was Lin Chi who did the task. He put the dark sword that killed two NPCs back into his backpack, stretched out his right hand to support the boy, and asked, “Is it all right?”

“Are you the messenger sent by God Mephistopheles?” the boy asked curiously.

“Yes.” Lin Chi replied simply and neatly.

Judging from the child’s words, it seems that it should be a resident of Mephistopheles Territory. In this way, he might have been caught here by those two people.

“Are you caught here?” Lin Chi went straight to the point.

“Yes, it was the way my father asked me to go out to buy spices…” Recalling what had happened, the boy’s body began to tremble slightly.

“I understand.” Lin Chi nodded, led the boy back to the window, and asked, “Do you have any impression of this place?”

“No… I’ve never been here, nor have my parents said it.” The boy immediately shook his head.

Apparently, the child didn’t know what was going on in this territory. As a young man who grew up in Mephistopheles territory, the boy may not have been exposed to other forces in the city, but only learned the name “Mephistopheles” from his parents.

“Well, you can go home by yourself. Remember not to be caught by the guards.” Lin Chi’s tone was extraordinarily perfunctory.

His current mission goal is to investigate the legend about blood, not to escort the children home safely. However, the boy still looked grateful. While thanking Lin Chi, he turned out the window on the second floor.

Seeing that the boy was about to jump out of the window, Lin Chi asked, “Are you okay?”

“I often steal things, it’s okay!” The boy said proudly, and disappeared out of Lin Chi’s sight.

“The young people here are really wild…” Lin Chi sighed, turning his gaze back to the two corpses that had just been cut open by him.

If these two were vampires, just a slash from the Dark Sword might not be able to kill them.

In order to prevent the two people from resurrecting again, Lin Chi drew out the Dark Sword and chopped the two corpses directly into meat sauce, and then tore off a piece of rag beside the bed, covering the two that even God could not see. On the corpse of something, the edge of the cloth was lit with a candlestick.

Along with the beating flames, two residents who were suspected of being vampires were burned to pitch black coke. The enclosed rooms are full of deadly smoke. However, for Lin Chi, who didn’t need to breathe at all, the smog, which was enough to suffocate and die, would not cause any impact.

“Goodbye, two.”

While talking, Lin Chi had already walked down the steps made of square rocks and entered the first floor of the house.

Since there may be other enemies hidden below, Lin Chi also decisively drew out the Dark Sword, and lightly entered the living room to check the situation in the house.

Wooden furniture is placed in the living room, and the surface is shining under the light of candlelight. It seems that the two people living here should be “good citizens” who pay great attention to hygiene.

Several large books were placed on the coffee table. The spine of the books were printed with titles such as “Research on Ancient Mythology” and “The Origin of Dark Magic”. Lin Chi picked up a piece of parchment next to the book that looked like a leaflet. , Start reading the above text by candlelight:

Notice to residents of the undead zone:

Kidnapping of residents in other areas is prohibited, and offenders will be fined one hundred gold coins.

It is forbidden to pick up troubles and attack residents in other areas.

It is forbidden to consume prohibited drinks.

Let us work together to build a good Life environment!

…

After reading the content on the paper, Lin Chi has already obtained some information:

This area is not directly named “God” like other places, but is replaced by the code name “Undead Zone”. Maybe the monster who rules here doesn’t like others to mention own name casually.

Judging from the content of the residents’ instructions, residents of the undead zone may often make such kidnapping actions, and often attack residents in other areas, so these actions are explicitly prohibited. As for the “banned drinks” mentioned above…

“Is it blood?”

Looking at the furniture in the living room, Lin Chi immediately noticed that there was no food or drink, and no cups, rice bowls, fruit plates and other utensils. The location of the kitchen should be next to it, and it was empty, except for two shelves with nothing on it, there were no other furnishings.

-These guys don’t need to eat or drink? Or… they hid their own “food”?

After checking the two bedrooms next to the living room, he did not find any clues. Lin Chi returned to the living room and looked at the steps leading to the basement.

If the two people in the house really hide something, the possibility of hiding in the basement is the greatest.

Lin Chi squeezed the hilt of the Dark Sword and slowly stepped onto the steps leading to the basement. Only after two steps out, there was a sound of shattering something under his feet:

Click!

Lin Chi raised his foot and saw that an inconspicuous bone on the step was broken by himself, and the curved shape of that bone looked like a human rib…

“Sure enough, this is the case.” Lin Chi smiled.

In fact, he already knew what “delicious food” the residents were eating here, but he hadn’t confirmed it with his own eyes.

Now it seems that there is no need to confirm what is hidden in the basement.

——So, are there any gods that have something to do with “cannibalism”?

While thinking about it, Lin Chi had already stood in front of the damp wooden door in the basement, stretched out his rotten right hand, and grabbed the rusty metal handle on the door.
