Benjamin shouted downstairs in a hoarse and rough voice.
He only felt that his throat was extremely dry and hoarse, as if there were sand rolling inside, and he could feel a dull pain in his throat just by talking.
As a result, he felt that his throat became extremely painful. His hands could not use the strength, and he could feel a faint stinging sensation in his skin when he lightly brushed his arms.
Just as Benjamin was about to sit up on the bed, he felt a sharp stinging sensation in his forehead, and his brain seemed to turn into a nectarine smashed into a can. Nausea and nausea surged up from his stomach.
The feeling almost made him vomit.
He quickly closed his mouth tightly, breathed in the fresh air, and moved his hands down on his chest, finally suppressing the nausea.
"Did I... catch a cold?"
He couldn't help but frown.
That's right, because of the big barrier in Kalar, the winter in Kalar can be said to be extremely warm compared to other places. As long as they stay at home, they basically won't catch a cold.
The reason why Benjamin caught a cold is very simple. Because he did go out last night for his great cause. To be more realistic, it can also be said that it was to make money.
No one knew about Benjamin's other identity. No one who knew Benjamin knew that Benjamin, who had just celebrated his sixteenth birthday, was the consultant of the River Crocodile Gang. Nor did Benjamin tell anyone about his identity.
This is his secret.
Unlike those children who like to brag but are stupid to death, Benjamin discovered that his little mind was extremely smart since he was very young. But for the same reason, Benjamin never had friends. He also never bothered to have a friend.
Just being with those slugs and talking in stammering dialect about who ate what yesterday and who was beaten the day before yesterday, Benjamin felt like his head would go stupid. "Benjamin, who is always silent," his "
"Friends" is what they call him.
No one knew that this humble, silent child would be the counselor of the largest underground gang in Gray Pine Town; no one knew that this seemingly honest and weak child had already seen double digits of dead people.
, and touched and beat their corpses.
Benjamin and his unusually calm mind compared to ordinary people only need to work a little bit. From the postures and expressions of the travelers, they can tell how much heavy things these travelers carry, how old they are, how much money they have, what their personality is, and how much they have.
There are no lives or arrests at stake. This is because the River Crocodile Gang always picks those cowardly and fearful sheep to attack, and they never leave anyone alive if they strike first. So far, they have never failed once.
People in Gray Pine Town always talk about whether the River Crocodile Gang has lives on their hands or something... But they don't know that these men who give people the impression of hyenas not only have lives on their hands, but not only one life. They have one life on their hands.
There were nine people in total, but they killed a total of fourteen travelers in three years. On average, each of them killed one person.
Benjamin was proud of his abnormality.
His completely different experiences from those of his peers made him clearly feel that he was different. This difference from others gave Benjamin a very strong sense of superiority.
This kind of villain's unique freedom, which Benjamin calls freedom, makes them deeply intoxicated.
They never asked for forgiveness, nor did they talk about the future. Because they knew long ago that they were already guilty of unforgivable sins. These nine young people had no future.
Because of this, their behavior becomes more and more unscrupulous.
The gray-haired child killed yesterday was the fifth person killed this winter.
Because they noticed that the druids didn't pay attention to these missing foreigners, they dealt with the scene more and more casually. As of yesterday, they didn't even cut up the bodies and threw them into the sewers, just throwing the bodies away.
On the street.
For three years now, no druid has investigated the disappearance case. Therefore, they decided that they didn't need to care about the body even if they were dumped on the street. After all, they didn't want to do such a disgusting thing if they could help it.
But it will definitely be discovered.
Unlike his partners who had high hopes, Benjamin knew from the beginning that this would definitely lead to the investigation of the Druid. However, driven by a young man's pride, he did not speak frankly about this matter to his partners.
Instead, he remained silent.
Because he is waiting for the druid to join. Looking forward to more powerful forces joining this game.
Just as he was tired of playing tricks with his peers at the beginning, Benjamin was completely tired of this life-hunting game. He felt no risk or enemy. Just like playing chess with himself, he was completely tired of it.
I don't feel the fun of the game.
It was sad to have no opponent. Because he was expecting powerful druids to join the game. Benjamin deliberately did not remind his accomplices to dispose of the corpse, but quietly waited for the corpse to be discovered.
In order to set up the first puzzle for the Druid. After the spoils were finally divided and everyone changed clothes and went back to their homes, Benjamin went back again, hoping to leave the belongings of someone he knew at the scene to mislead the investigation.
.
But at this time, something shocking happened to Benjamin
The body is gone.
Not just corpses. When Benjamin squatted down and touched the ground with his hands, he found that the blood on the originally wet ground was also missing.
There is no doubt that someone must have followed them at that time and helped them organize the scene. In other words, someone had already figured out their identity. What they will face next is probably a series of blackmails.
Benjamin concluded calmly.
As for the nonsense about the corpse standing up and running away on its own, Benjamin said that he has not believed it since he was seven years old.
He tiptoed around the area and found no traces related to the corpse. He even wondered whether he was dreaming, or whether he had fallen into a hallucination from the beginning. The silver coins he could get were actually lying there.
In the pocket.
And when he climbed back to his room from the window, it was almost dawn.
Maybe it's because of the lack of sleep and the cold caused by catching a cold last night... Don't worry about it. We still have to hold a meeting tonight. We must inform them that the body is missing...
Benjamin climbed down from the bed with his body propped up, and as soon as his legs touched the ground, he felt a numbness surge from the soles of his feet and spread all the way to the back of his head.
The severe dizziness made his vision go dark, and the numbness spread from his teeth to his nose. Benjamin seemed to feel the dry eyelids and the blood vessels in his neck beating violently. At that time, he briefly lost consciousness.
It took three or four seconds to wake up.
"No, I need some hot soup..."
Benjamin murmured and rubbed his eyes with both hands, but the more he rubbed his eyes, the more itchy and sore he became, and soon tears welled up.
At this time, he finally realized that his illness was serious.
But he couldn't call the doctors to see him now. Otherwise, they would know at a glance that Benjamin had been exposed to the night wind for a long time last night, and it would be difficult to explain it then.
"It must be postponed until tomorrow...I'll drink some hot soup first and then take a nap..."
Benjamin rubbed his face vigorously, unaware that there was a thin, fresh blood mark on his cheek, like a cat scratching it. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.
