Annan in the form of David squinted his eyes slightly, walked around the corner as if nothing had happened, and entered the kitchen basement.
Ferdinand's pocket was empty except for the letter and the silver pocket watch. There was not even a single silver coin.
But Annan got an unexpected surprise.
——That pistol.
It's even a charm.
Because when Annan picked it up, its property panel was revealed:
【miss.quiet】
[Type: Weapon (Purple)]
[Description: A silent gun. The 9mm bullet inside it is as silent as it.]
[Effect: From pulling the trigger to firing the bullet, no sound will be made during the entire process; the person hit by the bullet in this weapon will not be able to make any sound within ten seconds; every time the holder is silent for one hour, this weapon will automatically
Fill one bullet, the upper limit is four.】
[Price: The holder will be subject to the curse of "No Words" and "Whispers of the Arrogant"]
[No more words: If the holder is attacked before he finishes speaking, this attack ignores defense]
[Whisper of the Arrogant: If this weapon is held and has four consecutive rounds of dialogue with the person being attacked, and declares that it is about to attack before attacking, then the attack will definitely hit and ignore defense]
This seems to be a similar ability in the field of [Mirror Tongue].
After seeing [The Whisper of the Arrogant], Annan finally understood why [No More Words] gave him a strange feeling...
I'm afraid [no words] is the prefix of a certain series of curses, and the purpose is to bind this type of curse itself.
For example, [Tongue in the Mirror], [Whisper of the Arrogant], for example.
And Annan suddenly felt a little chill——
He calculated it.
After Ferdinand took out this gun, he really only had four rounds of conversations with himself!
It was just that when Ferdinand spoke about the fourth round of dialogue, Annan was concentrating on reading the letter and did not reply... And when he tried to have the fourth round of dialogue for the second time, Annan had already used [Eye of Sloth] to hypnotize him first.
other side.
If Annan hadn't been so decisive, it would have just been a little later...
Wait until the sentence "Look, it's mentioned above..." is finished and Annan responds.
Ferdinand was bound to shoot suddenly.
——Because this gun can hit the enemy without aiming at it. And there is no need to worry about the sound of the gun attracting other people...
Once Annan is hit by his attack that is sure to hit and ignores defense, Ferdinand can pull out his pistol and fire three more shots in a row, killing Annan directly on the spot!
Although Ferdinand's letter did not describe the physical characteristics of the red-haired brother, he still became suspicious of Annan and had murderous intentions!
Moreover, Ferdinand hid very well... Until the end, Annan's perception did not give him any warning.
...Is that that time?
Annan recalled it, and when Ferdinand saw the silver ring in "David's" hand, his eyes suddenly paused.
Did he think I was a Silver-level wizard?
With such a vigilant thought, Annan put some thought into it - he used Ferdinand's clothes to wrap his head into a big rice dumpling.
After that, Annan stuffed him into the fish bucket.
That heavy punch was enough to knock Ferdinand into a moderate concussion. The relatively confined space in the fish barrel, coupled with the clothes on his head, could further extend his waking time. If he accidentally
It doesn't matter if he dies.
But to be on the safe side, Annan must come out within twenty minutes——
According to Annan's common sense, a concussion of this degree usually results in a coma of twenty minutes to half an hour. We cannot expect that the other party will suffer from retrograde amnesia, so Annan must take him away, extract a confession and execute him before he wakes up.
.
——Then Annan strangled the red-haired man who was also in a coma to death.
Although Annan felt before that his red-haired friend's skull seemed to have been accidentally cracked by a hammer...but just in case.
It would be bad if he wakes up and shouts, and someone discovers the unconscious Ferdinand.
Let's fight quickly.
As soon as he entered the basement, Annan put the silver coins between his right fingers again. And the gun named "Miss Quiet" was put into David's too loose left cuff by Annan.
In the kitchen basement, there was a white cold air visible to the naked eye everywhere.
This is not so much a basement as a cold storage.
The temperature is at least below freezing.
The cold air that would make ordinary people shiver soon after entering was meaningless to Annan's current marble torso.
Annan looked around and saw a lot of fresh meat and vegetables placed on different shelves. He also saw some bulging things in bags. He didn't know whether they were grains or something, piled on top of each other.
The corner of a certain room.
The basement of this kitchen is very spacious, about the same size as the warehouse where Vasily stayed. But the difference is that it is full of twists and turns... Each room is only ten to twenty square meters, and Annan has already walked through it for five years.
Six rooms.
Suddenly, Annan stopped.
Because he saw another person.
An old man with gray hair, wearing a rough linen gown, sat cross-legged on the altar with his back to Annan.
That's an extremely weird sitting posture.
His spine seemed to be penetrated by nails from top to bottom - it was straight, and a red gem was placed on the top of his head, just in line with his spine.
At this moment, Annan looked from behind... and could clearly see a red line left from the ruby, immersed on the old man's back, and entered the altar.
The altar spreads this laser-like red line through complex transformations into a complex, six intersecting rings, with two lines extending out from the ring, forming a 120-degree angle.
--found it.
This should be the corner of the six-pointed star.
"Crow, take it."
The old man made an extremely skinny voice: "Be careful, don't step on the red line..."
He seemed to be running out of energy - just trying to open his eyes was difficult.
He did not see that it was not Ferdinand who walked in... but Annan.
But Annan did not pass.
He just looked at the old man and silently took out "Quiet".
He aimed his pistol at the old man's back.
——The red line on his back leading to the gem.
"If you want to take action... Crow, I advise you to take away the lead stone first."
The old man spoke slowly and hoarsely: "The spine is the root of the same earth. If the root is broken, the tree will die... When the tree dies, the fruit will fall. The guiding stone is very fragile."
...a ritualist.
How much does he have to do with this ritual?
When Annan heard this, his heart moved and he slightly shifted the muzzle of his gun.
But it's not towards the heart...it's towards the thighs.
Then Annan pulled the trigger.
He pulled the trigger silently, the bullet flew out silently, and hit the target silently. The whole process was as funny as a silent movie, without any sense of reality.
But when the old man opened his eyes due to the sudden severe pain and trembled all over - he opened his mouth but did not make any sound.
He just fell forward and then fell to the side silently. His body silently collided with the ground, and he let out a silent wail at the top of his lungs. The ruby fell from the top of his head and made a crisp sound after falling to the ground.
Then, it broke.
Like an overly plump red fruit that fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of mud... A red gemstone fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of soft red mud just like red crystal mud being smashed to the ground.
The red beam of light shattered instantly, but the six red rings on the ground just disappeared.
Annan stepped forward without hesitation and dragged the old man off the altar.
At the same time, Annan tore off his robe and threw it away; he put his hands together and held them tightly with his left hand. Using his temporary height advantage, he lifted the old man from the ground and let his tailbone
Stay away from the ground.
"I caught you, old gentleman."
In Annan's mouth, the cheerful voice of "David" came out: "Now - I ask, you answer."
Annan said and put his right hand in front of the old man.
His trembling body saw a silver coin emerging from Annan's fingers.
"Okay, I will treat your injuries. Heal all the injuries on your body."
Annan said gently: "But if you don't answer well..."
Annan said, raising his right hand horizontally to the right.
A silver sharp blade stabbed out from between Annan's fingers silently.
"do you understand?"
Annan said, slowly: "Remember... to stay quiet."
At this time, the effect of silence has ended.
The old man nodded tremblingly, his body trembled, and he endured the pain and said in a low voice: "I...I will be quiet."
"very good."
Annan asked calmly: "First question, who are you."
