————————————————————
When Thales came back to his senses, Quaid had already grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up in the air.
Thales struggled, holding tightly to Quaid's hand that was holding his neck, but it seemed that he couldn't use all his strength.
He opened his mouth desperately, but he couldn't get any air.
My feet kept kicking and beating.
My head started to feel dizzy.
In my ears, all the sounds seemed to be separated by a thick layer of cloth. Kolya was crying, Ryan was shivering in the hole in the wall, and Kellett sat in front of the hole in shock and murmured.
Cindy and Ned screamed angrily and rushed over fearlessly. One held Quaid's thigh, and the other hit Quaid's stomach with his small hand.
Xinti flew out and knocked over the water tank, causing water to flow all over the yard.
Ned was kicked hard by Quaid, screamed, and fell to the ground unable to get up.
Thales didn't have the time or mood to be surprised by Ned's bravery and Kelit and Ryan's cowardice (he knew Cindy's actions well). He dug his nails into Quaid's hand, digging it from the front of his neck.
Back of neck.
He wanted to break free and take a breath of air.
Suddenly, his nails dug into the back of Quaid's right hand, as if he had dug a hollow wound.
Thales didn't hesitate. His face was already red, and he dug his nails into it desperately.
"ah!"
Quaid screamed in pain, released his iron-banded hands, and threw Thales violently against the wall.
Thales only felt dizzy and had a severe pain in his throat. He held on to the broken wall and coughed uncontrollably.
Quaid grabbed his palm, and the wound stabbed by Yara's knife began to bleed again.
"Damn Yara Sariton! Damn you brat!"
Quaid endured the pain and roared angrily, anger and alcohol welling up at the same time.
"Snapped!"
The ferocious Quaid suddenly turned around and saw Ensola in Room 17, rolling and trying to escape from the door. However, the door panel that Quaid had just kicked down could not support his weight and broke.
.
"Haha, you want to run?"
Quaid smiled ferociously, strode forward, and grabbed Nsola's left leg.
"no, do not want!"
Ensola cried and was lifted upside down by Quaid.
"Kid, have you ever forged iron? Yes? No? Haha, it doesn't matter, I'll teach you!"
Thales got up in pain and only had time to see Quaid using his arms to lift Nsola's left leg and smash his head against the wall against which he was leaning.
Thales only had time to instinctively turn his head and give way.
There was a muffled sound above his head, like what Thales had seen once, the sound of a fruit and vegetable vendor selling Ellen melons breaking open the melons.
By the way, that's the vendor from whom they stole the Haoyue statue.
Kolya's cries turned into piercing screams.
Thales was stunned. He had no time to close his eyes.
Red and white liquid splashed onto Thales' face from a distance, feeling warm and cold at the same time.
Ned, who got up from the ground, witnessed all this. He collapsed and screamed, and then ran towards the dog hole leading to House Seventeen.
Quaid opened his mouth and took a breath, with an intoxicated look on his face, as if what he had inhaled was not air but high-quality black pine wine. The demon in human skin turned his head and dropped Nsola.
part, looking in Ned's direction with an angry smile.
At that moment, what Thales was thinking was that Ned was small and very nimble, so he would definitely be able to get through the dog hole before Quaid.
Get through there and everything will be fine.
Once you get through there, you'll be safe.
Get through there.
Drill through.
Drill.
But before Ned could get half of his body in, Quaid grabbed Ned's legs.
"Are you the kid who can't hand over any money?"
Quaid chuckled: "Then what's the use of you?"
Ned cried and yelled, and was dragged out of the hole by Quaid.
"Screaming, it's not painful enough - it's a pity, it's a pity that the water tank is broken - well, I can't catch fish anymore."
Quaid shook his head to dispel the dizziness caused by alcohol in his mind, looked at Cindy who had just woken up from the ground and the water tank next to him, and muttered.
"Then make it simple."
Amid Ned's cries and kicks, Quaid threw him face down to the ground, then raised his right foot and stepped hard on the center of the six-year-old beggar's back.
"No--!"
"Boom! Click!"
Simultaneously with Thales's heart-rending roar, there was also a heart-rending crisp cracking sound.
Everything in front of Thales' eyes was blurred.
"Boom!"
This is Quaid's second kick.
"Boom!"
The third kick.
Cinti shouted with all her strength, grabbed a piece of the water tank, and rushed towards Quaid.
Quaid just laughed and kicked the fragments from Xinti's hand away, then grabbed the collar of Xinti's coarse linen clothes and lifted him up.
It turns out that I, I can't do anything.
Thales lowered his head.
In the corner, Ensola's body was still twitching silently but horribly, and Ned was lying face down on the ground, motionless.
I thought I was protecting these children.
But I can't do anything.
Nothing can be done.
Cindy was howling and kicking, while Quaid's laughter became louder and louder.
"Kid, just keep screaming. I like hearing you scream the most. Maybe I'll let you go once I'm in a good mood."
Thales' vision went dark, and a familiar scene came back to his mind.
"Deviation, this is what we call human behavior that goes against social norms, and most people are used to calling it crime. But we must know that crime is only a small part of deviance - what we focus on is not the behavior itself, but
It is the meaning and understanding of this behavior at the social level and at the collective level - Durkheim was one of the earliest scholars to propose the theory of social norms, and he also viewed deviant behavior from a functionalist perspective - "
"There is a view that law enforcement and punishment of deviant actors are one of the basic means by which power subjects shape the people and shape the social structure——"
This is a memory fragment of Thales's previous life. Just now, he recovered part of it.
"Devil! You devil!"
At this moment, Cinti was roaring and kicking, driving away the scene in front of Thales' eyes.
"Yes! I am the devil!" Quaid laughed playfully, "What do you think the devil will do to you?"
Thales took a deep breath.
Damn bastard.
His mind is clearer than ever.
He knows what to do.
He should do this.
He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the corner of the room.
He knows.
Thales grabbed a stone in the corner of the room, opened it violently, and put his hand into a hidden hole behind the stone.
hurry up.
Touch it quickly.
"Forget it, since you are so talented, I'll keep you until the end."
Quaid smiled so much that the lips on both sides became asymmetrical. He pulled Cindy's right leg fiercely until the opponent's lips turned pale, until——
"Click!"
——Until it dislocates.
Quaid dropped Cindy and stepped on the opponent's dislocated leg.
Cinti's suppressed but still uncontrollable howl reached Thales's ears, causing him to speed up his search.
Quaid left the yard and walked toward the house.
The bright moonlight fell from the half-collapsed roof, illuminating Quaid's smiling face.
Ryan crossed his arms and stared at the floor beneath him, trying his best to shrink his body further into the hole in the wall.
Kellett climbed out of the hole in the wall tremblingly, trying to pull out Kolya, who was already hoarse, and run away together.
But Kolya seemed paralyzed with fear, sobbing and motionless.
Kellett didn't dare to look at Cindy, she just begged and pulled Colia.
But the next moment Kolya suddenly raised her head and let out a cry like a lamb.
Kellett realized something. When he turned around, he saw Quaid's sinister face.
He only felt a burst of moisture under his crotch.
Got it!
Thales touched what he wanted and pulled it out hard.
Then.
Then?
Then he was grabbed by his right arm from behind by Quaid, who looked cheerful.
"Did you think I would miss you, kid? I knew you were the most cunning and cunning one among these little bastards! Haha!" Quaid gradually tightened his hands and smiled proudly.
No.
Thales felt the pain in his right arm being tightened, and tried hard to turn around, and at the same time, he wanted to stab Quaid with the thing in his left hand.
"Look!" Quaid ducked away from Thales' thrust as if he had discovered some treasure.
Then, he grabbed something from the boy's left hand.
"A - dagger! Haha! Kid, you actually want to use a dagger to deal with me? Hahahahaha, what are you going to do? Stab my thigh?"
Quaid pulled Thales up, laughing wildly.
No!
No!
Thales thought desperately about the dagger, the unsheathed dagger he stole from the Sunset Bar.
That is the last hope.
"Yo!"
Quaid looked behind Thales in surprise.
There, when Thales pulled out the dagger from the hole, he used too much force and brought out a coin.
"Look what I found?"
"A silver coin?"
"Silver coin! Hahaha, you are indeed a damn brat! You hid a silver coin secretly!"
Thales tried to struggle with his left hand, but a seven-year-old child was not strong enough at all, so he could only hit Quaid's abdomen, which was as hard as iron, in vain.
That silver coin was a gift from the female noble in the Red Square District. Thales wanted to say that he was not lying.
Of the copper coins, the velvet lady indeed only gave herself twelve.
One silver coin.
Thales was thinking desperately.
But that's all.
He failed.
"As the price for your daring to lie——"
Quaid ignored Thales's indifferent punches and kicks. He just smiled ferociously, picked up the silver coin with his dagger, threw it in the air, and then caught it with the other side of the dagger.
This Kingdom's Mindis silver coin is of great weight and is rare even today. On the front is engraved the head of King Mindis III, a rare virtuous king in the history of the Kingdom of Stars, and even in the history of the Eastern and Western Continents.
, and an inscription engraved in ancient pattern characters.
The king is not honored by blood, but the blood is honored by the king.
Thales couldn't understand this line at all. Its real meaning was the answer Thales got from boldly asking the female noble.
Haha, Thales thought silently in his heart, he still wants to learn to read, learn to read, and learn the knowledge and wisdom that this world has.
result.
Quaid held up the silver coins with his dagger again and flicked a few knives. He nodded, very satisfied with his skill in playing with knives, and it seemed that he had not deteriorated yet.
Then, he pulled Thales a few steps outside and threw the silver coins into the fire next to the yard.
"As the price for lying - let me reward you with this silver coin."
Thales looked at the silver coins that were gradually turning black in the fire, and suddenly realized what Quaid was going to do, and he kicked and beat them more and more crazily.
At this moment, Thales suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that lame Ryan, who had always been timid and cowardly, was tremblingly touching behind Quaid and holding up a stone.
No.
Thales thought sadly.
Ryan never got into many fights.
That stone.
too small.
too small.
"despair!"
Ryan's strength was not enough, and the stone only hit the back of Quaid's neck.
But it was enough to get Quaid's attention.
"Run! Ryan!"
"Run!"
Thales and Cinti, who was holding her right leg in pain on the other side, both shouted!
But Ryan was a lame. His leg was broken by a bad-tempered thief while he was begging. The beggar, who lacked medical treatment, became lame.
Ryan backed away in panic, turned around, and limped away.
Thales was dragged by Quaid and followed him towards Ryan.
Lane was soon caught up by Quaid.
Quaid laughed in anger.
"Cripple!" Quaid opened his mouth wide and gasped like a wild boar, "The smash just now was so good."
"thump!"
Ryan was kicked to the ground by him, his eyes full of fear and regret.
"me--"
Before the extremely frightened Ryan could finish speaking, Quaid flew up with the dagger in his hand and stabbed Ryan's right wrist hard!
“Ahhhhh——”
Ryan's screams were deafening, and even Thales trembled.
"Aren't you lame? You have a broken leg!" Quaid yelled crazily: "Then it should be more symmetrical!"
Then, Quaid drew his dagger, and the smile on his face grew stronger.
He pushed Thales to the ground with one hand, turned around and concentrated on dealing with Ryan.
I saw him slam his knee into Ryan's stomach, and raised the dagger to point at his pierced wrist.
Like sawing wood.
start.
cutting.
Thales closed his eyes in pain.
"No! No! Ah! Ah! Don't! That! Ah!"
Ryan's screams have turned into a rhythmless and continuous wail.
Xinti's roar rang in her ears.
Thales did not look at Colia, who was still sobbing, nor at Kelit, who was silent.
Please, let this end quickly.
It's almost over.
When Ryan's uninterrupted wailing turned into painful moans, Thales, who was already numb, felt himself being grabbed by the collar again by Quaid.
A burst of heat came over.
Thales opened his eyes and saw the dagger in front of him, holding the silver coin on it.
Silver coins that were hot and blackened by fire.
The burning fire came.
"Open your mouth." Quaid said harshly and coldly.
Beside him, Ryan was holding his bloody right hand. There was no emotion in his eyes. He was just lying on his side numbly, his body shaking from time to time.
There was only a little flesh left on his right palm, connected to his wrist.
Thales withdrew his gaze and looked at Quaid coldly.
"Don't want to?"
Quaid shook his head and smiled: "The eyes are fine too."
After saying this, he grabbed the dagger and the silver coin that was burning black on top of the dagger, and held it close to Thales' eyes.
The burned-black King Mindis was getting closer and closer to his eyes.
The line of inscriptions became clearer and clearer.
Kings are not respected by blood.
The bloodline is honored by the king.
The moment it was about to touch his eyes.
"ah!"
Thales roared angrily, jerked away, and bit the little finger of Quaid's hand that was holding the dagger!
Quaid hissed in pain, leaned back, and the silver coin fell from the dagger and landed on Thales's exposed chest.
A burning sensation came from my chest!
"Oh no!"
Severe burning sensation! It even caused severe pain!
Thales was so burned by the silver coins that he couldn't bear it anymore. He released his teeth from Quaid and reached out to grab the silver coins from his chest.
"Bastard!" Quaid looked at his bloody little finger and became angry.
"Then I'll leave you some souvenirs!"
He knocked down the boy with one punch, then rushed forward, overwhelming Thales, and pressed the blackened silver coin with the dagger firmly against Thales' chest.
"Hiss--" It was like the sound of a soldering iron being rapidly cooled.
It's just a cooling material, flesh and blood.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
Thales roared angrily, and along with the heart-burning temperature in his chest, there was also a burning smell.
The muscles all over his body began to feel burning pain again.
Quaid pressed the silver coin for five seconds, staring at Thales' face that was constantly deformed in pain, and then he felt relieved and let go of Thales.
As soon as Thales broke free, he yanked the silver coin that was stuck to his chest, and pulled it off with blood even though it was still hot to his hands.
With the charred flesh and blood pulled out by Thales, the silver coins rolled to the ground and clinked.
Thales' blood fell to the ground and dried quickly.
And he lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Damn it, he is obviously an adult, isn't he?
Why, why can't I help but want to cry?
"What a pity. It would be better if you swallow it or press it on your eyelids."
Quaid carefully picked up the silver coins and continued to throw them into the fire, "It doesn't matter, we will come back in the next round."
Thales closed his eyes tightly. The burning sensation in his chest did not seem to weaken, but intensified, getting hotter and hotter.
There seems to be a surge of power.
In accumulation.
Just let me, let me, let me slit Quaid's throat. He thought silently in his heart.
When Thales opened his eyes again, he just stared at Quaid coldly.
Quaid looked at those lifeless eyes and suddenly felt a little bored.
"Hey kid, don't you want to play?" Quaid kicked Thales.
Thales just looked at him coldly.
Come on, he thought, this time, both eyelids and nose.
Hot as you wish.
Anyway, if you time travel by yourself, you can't do anything, right?
Quaid looked into Thales's eyes and confirmed the indifference in his eyes.
Quaid hated this kind of indifference. When he was collecting black debts, he was most bothered by debtors like this. This meant that no matter how much he tortured them, he couldn't collect any money.
Boring. Quaid spat and thought viciously, the fun has been completely ruined.
Too much time wasted.
But when he turned around and saw the other two beggars in the hole in the wall, his eyes lit up again.
Amidst Kolya's cries and Kelit's fearful gaze, Quaid reached out to a hole in the wall of the sixth room, reaching out to the only and youngest girl.
Thales' pupils focused instantly. Cinti looked at this scene in horror. Even Ryan put down his severed hand and raised his head.
No.
No!
That's Collea.
That's their youngest child.
That kid!
The heat in his chest became more and more scorching, and the muscles in his body seemed to be burning.
Kolya just howled.
She is only four years old.
asshole.
how dare you!
"Collia!"
"Devil! Come to me!"
"You dare! You can't!"
Thales, Cindy, and even Ryan, who was holding his severed hand, crawled towards Quaid crazily, but they were only kicked away by Quaid one by one and swept away in the corner.
"You can't hurt her!"
At this moment, a figure stood firmly in front of the wall hole.
That was Kelit who was scared back into the hole just now.
At this time, he bravely rushed forward to protect Kolya.
But Thales just shook his head in pain.
No, you are not enough.
Kellett's fist was easily caught by Quaid.
"Don't disturb the sideshow." Quaid chuckled, and without any hesitation, without any hesitation, without any hindrance, he slit Kellett's neck.
Kellett opened his eyes wide, as if he didn't believe what was happening in front of him.
Thales collapsed to the ground, Ryan began to cry and laugh like he was going crazy, and Cindy just hammered the ground hard.
Quaid pushed Kelit aside, with his trachea damaged and blood spurting from his arteries, unable to speak.
Kolya cried more and more fiercely.
"Don't! Don't catch me! I'm very good! I don't have typhoid! I don't!"
Quaid grabbed Kollia's hair, couldn't help but lift the crying girl out of the hole in the wall like a pet.
Then he stretched out his dagger and picked out the silver coin from the fire.
"Asshole! Damn you bastard!"
Thales closed his eyes and roared with all his strength.
He hates himself.
Hate this damn world.
Then.
Then, he looked at Quaid helplessly.
In the girl's desperate and crazy struggle, she pressed the silver coin that was burned black for the second time to Kolya's face with a dagger.
The sounds of children's sobs could be heard in my ears.
Kolya's cries were even incoherent.
how so?
Thales was lying on the ground, as if he had given up all hope, motionless, his eyes filled with gray despair.
Only the chest, the burned area, felt waves of scorching heat.
Quaid lifted both the dagger and the silver coin from the girl's face, causing the girl to scream.
He took a breath and looked around, suddenly feeling a little bored.
Let's deal with this quickly and find other imps.
Wait, is it not good for the Brotherhood to do this?
Quaid's drunkenness began to fade away.
What the hell, since Rick and his thugs didn't show up, that's fine.
He closed his eyes and shook his head.
Then he wanted to use both hands to break the neck of the girl in his hand.
Huh?
When he raised his left hand, Quaid suddenly felt strange. Didn't he just hold a dagger and press the silver coin into the girl's face?
dagger?
He didn't think much about it.
Quaid continued to raise his left hand and wiped it on Colia's neck.
At this moment, Thales, who was lying on the ground in despair, seemed to touch something with his right hand, which made him tremble slightly.
dagger?
He didn't think much about it.
Thales got up tremblingly and hid his hands behind his back
Everything just happened.
In Xinti's eyes, Thales, who was still trembling on the ground a moment ago, suddenly jumped up.
"Go to hell!"
The seven-year-old time traveler struggled through two worlds and two lives of madness, stabbing and twisting towards Quaid's neck.
"So annoying!"
Quaid had seen his move a long time ago and just gave a backhand elbow carelessly.
Then, Thales was knocked away with an elbow by the impatient Quaid.
"boom!"
Thales knocked his head on the edge of a hole, and there were stars in his eyes, but he still stubbornly raised his head and looked at his hand.
There, holding the dagger stolen from the Sunset Bar.
A bloody dagger.
Everything seemed to stand still for that moment.
Quaid was stunned for a moment, lowered his head in surprise, and looked at Thales who was knocked away and coughing on the ground.
Quaid's surprised eyes didn't last long before he realized what had happened to him.
He suddenly let go of Kolya, and then, in disbelief, he stretched out his trembling hand and touched his neck.
The feeling is warm, moist and sticky. This feeling spreads down the collarbone and quickly spreads to the chest and abdomen.
In Quaid's eyes, that damn brat - Thales slowly climbed up from the ground with difficulty but determination. The dagger in his hand was trembling slightly with his right hand.
But the frequency is stable and trembling.
At that moment, Quaid panicked.
He threw his hands at his neck indiscriminately, panicking and pressing the big hole in his neck that was gushing blood.
But his trembling hands and chin seemed to be resisting his intention, and the arterial blood, as bright as paint, spurted out unstoppably.
Quaid gritted his teeth and felt a little weak under his legs, so he took a step back.
But this step made him collapse to the ground, unable to get up again.
The burning pain in his chest continued, but Thales raised his head and looked at Quaid indifferently but firmly under the fearful and shocked gazes of Coria and Cinti, and under the laughter of Ryan whose emotions could not be distinguished.
He spoke word by word.
"Go to hell."
"waste."
Quaid gritted his teeth tighter, his anger rising again.
But unlike before, what comes with anger is that all the scenes in front of you are getting darker, blurry, farther away, smaller, and are all falling apart.
His eyes were bulging, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, and he was staring at Thales.
Then, he stretched out his slightly trembling hand, the hand that had been pierced by Yara, towards Thales, and spoke hoarsely.
"Damn--kid--"
A bloody hand passed over Thales' cold face.
These were the last words of "Bloodaxe" Quaid Rhoda in the world of Errol.
