Chapter 22 The heart is sinister
Chapter 22 The human heart is sinister (book review requested)
"Oh! Isn't this Marianne? Of course I have met him. Oh my, he is a really nice man. We also spent a wonderful night."
Huh? My drawing is so bad, you can even recognize it.
Snow closed his eyes and looked at the shy aunt in front of him. After confirming twice, the other party said that it was indeed the Kroos Marian he was looking for.
However, he expressed doubts about the second part of the aunt's sentence: How did that guy get rid of this gourd-shaped figure?
"No, that's right there. That man has been living in that house recently, but he rarely comes back."
The kind-hearted aunt helped Snow lead the way to Kuros's residence in Bangalore. Snow also specially activated the [Soul Detection Eye] to investigate the surroundings, including the kind man in front of him.
Fortunately, they were all normal, and no traces of suspected demons were found.
But that house... always gave him a somewhat bad feeling, as if something bad was about to happen to him.
Snow stopped where he was and stared at him for a few seconds before he cautiously stepped forward and tiptoed towards the door.
"The door is actually unlocked..."
Snow gently pushed open the slightly worn wooden door of the house. The lighting inside was not very good and was slightly dim.
Would a guy like Kross Marian actually live in a place like this?
Snow pushed the door open completely and walked in slowly.
"Excuse me...is there anyone? Marshal Kuros?"
Snow tentatively asked a few questions in a low voice, and someone in the room actually responded.
"Hello! Um...what can I do for you? If it's money, can you please...eh?"
In the dim light, a thin figure walked out of the bedroom inside. After walking in, Snow saw clearly that it was actually a young boy.
He might be a little smaller than him, but he actually has white hair and two red scars on his eyes. The most eye-catching thing is his left hand.
What kind of hand was that? It looked like it had been burned by fire, and then the skin had been peeled off. The whole arm was a dark red that made people feel very uncomfortable.
Snow thought of a character in a game he had played before, called Ghost Swordsman. The opponent's hands were almost the same as the character in the game.
"Hello?"
Seeing Snow standing there in a daze, the child across from him couldn't help but remind him again.
"Uh! Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Kross Marian. Does he live here?"
"Are you looking for Master? What do you have... Huh? Master?"
The white-haired boy was about to answer when he suddenly let out another surprise and looked behind Snow with a very surprised look.
In an instant, Snow felt his hairs standing on end. He wanted to turn around, but it was too late.
"[INNOCENCE]——Fa..."
“Dong~~~”
Following a muffled sound, Snow felt as if the back of his head had been hit by a sledgehammer. First there was a sharp pain, and then his vision went black and he didn't know anything anymore.
"Wari~~playing dirty tricks..."
This was the last thought that flashed through his head before he completely lost consciousness.
"Huh? Master, this person is not here to collect debts. He is wearing the same coat as you!!!"
Allen Walker looked bewildered as he watched his master Kuros walk out from behind the pushed door, then gently closed the door, took out a small hammer from his arms, and pointed it at the opposite side of him.
The young man was hit hard on the back of the head.
The opponent was like a wooden stake, lying face down on the dusty floor.
"Ha! Of course I know about this kind of thing, stupid apprentice, I just don't want the other party to see it, so I do this kind of thing."
Accompanied by a voice full of displeasure and rudeness, Marshal Kouros Marian himself walked out of the shadows in the corner. His perception was very keen, and he had already noticed when there was someone standing in front of the door.
Based on the fact that there was a person wearing clothes very similar to him yesterday, holding his portrait and asking questions on the street, he had already guessed that it might be the exorcist sent from the Black Order headquarters.
So he hid behind the door on purpose.
Allen watched his master walk up and use his toes to flip the man over on the ground like he was kicking rubbish. Then he glanced at him and snorted disdainfully.
"It's actually this brat Snow, huh! This guy is really unlucky."
Kuros took a deep sip of wine, then looked at Snow on the ground and said.
"So Master, you know him?"
Allen cast his sympathetic eyes on Snow, who was lying on the ground unconscious.
"Yes! When it comes to this little brat...hum! I gave him some pointers back then and told him what the dangers of the world are."
Allen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He probably knew what kind of suffering the other party had suffered from his master. Seeing Kuros squatting down and then groping around on the other party's body, he couldn't help but curiously asked.
.
"Master, what are you doing? Don't you need to wake him up and explain it properly?"
Kuros snorted coldly and said while turning the pages.
"Stupid apprentice, if I wake him up, this guy will catch me.
This kid is very vindictive. When he first came to the cult, he had a look of arrogance in his eyes, so he was in a state of mind to take care of his juniors.
I gave him a little lesson and tempered him a little..."
Having said this, Kuros showed a nostalgic expression.
"But that kid caught me by surprise. Even though I asked a few old friends to look at him, I thought that kid would need my backup soon.
Unexpectedly, that guy actually gritted his teeth and stumbled back to the headquarters. He was a pretty tough guy.
Well! But the purpose of training him has been achieved.
Oh! Found it..."
Kuros clapped his hands and then stood up. What he held in his hand was actually a wallet. Allen had a good memory. In his impression, his master did not have this style of wallet.
"Um...Master, is this illegal?"
Ya Lian reminded tremblingly.
Knocking someone unconscious first and then taking his wallet definitely constitutes a robbery crime.
"Huh? Idiot, after all, I have educated this brat. I am more or less his half-master. What's wrong with charging a small tuition fee?"
Kuros skillfully opened his wallet, then took out a wad of banknotes and simply counted them in his hand.
"Tsk! This kid's net worth is unexpected!"
