It would be neither realistic nor safe to go out and chop Amos with a kitchen knife.
Annan has never liked such radical tactics.
Although he has lost half of his emotions now, Annan believes that he should be a stable person who likes to develop.
The so-called prudent means not taking the risk of jumping over the tower and killing people.
Because if you cross the tower, you may be counterattacked.
The correct approach is to kill the opponent before they enter the defense tower.
As you can imagine, this is very reasonable and prudent.
Adhering to this concept, Annan did not hold the kitchen knife directly in his hand.
He specially picked a heavier coat and put a layer of sweater on it. This kind of clothes would be a little hot, but it was bearable. Because this kind of clothes could make Annan's back and front chest more comfortable.
Hang a few kitchen knives on the arms and armpits respectively.
First pass the kitchen knife through the sweater, and then pass the blade through the coat, fixing the coat on the body. It is like fixing a toothpick on a bacon roll. This is a position that Annan can reach at any time.
But it is a pity that this can only handle a few smaller kitchen knives.
The largest kitchen knife - the one that Annan threw out very smoothly - could not be dealt with so easily.
Annan hid it in Ai Lei's piano room, near the door.
Yes, Ai Lei has a piano room of her own, with... a piano in it.
Although Annan didn't know who invented the piano in this world and when it appeared, he knew very well that the price of this thing was definitely not cheap.
This is probably the reason why Elle mentioned in her diary that she "wanted to go to a concert."
It's a pity that Annan doesn't know how to play the piano. But fortunately, Amos doesn't have the eyesight to see him licking his face and coming over to "play a serenade for dad", so he won't be exposed for a while.
Annan's intuition told him that this piano may be related to high- or low-difficulty copies.
The death flags on the third level are relatively few at present. As long as the player doesn't run around and doesn't care about messy things, basically the time is just enough to read the three books in the study.
And if Annan had not been cautious and brought a kitchen knife into the study, when Amos came home and the portrait screamed, Annan would have definitely fainted inside, and then been discovered by Amos... or it was possible that he would be howled to death directly.
of.
After all, when he threw the flying knife, Annan clearly saw some changes in the light and shadow effects in the study. That means he reacted quickly, otherwise a few more monsters might really appear.
After all, "the guardian spirit can move freely in all the paintings painted by this artist and with this paint."
In a sense, the first half of this dungeon is actually a limited-time investigation and hiding mechanism similar to "escape". If you hesitate, you will lose, and don't waste time.
So what's the second half of it?
Is the cake poisonous? Will you fall into hallucinations if you eat it?
Or will you fall into a coma if you eat the cake Amos bought and drink the black tea he brewed?
No matter what the mechanism is, Annan has no possibility of using his body to explore it.
He decided...
"Amos, come here quickly!"
Annan closed the door of the piano room forcefully, and then let out a somewhat panicked scream: "It...it's not right, it seems to have been moved!"
He didn't mention the piano directly because he didn't know the name of this instrument in this world and was worried that he would call it wrong.
Annan is very cautious.
Another reason is...
He knew that if he said that, it would be impossible for Amos to remain calm.
There are shady secrets in his study. No matter if the person who tampered with the piano was a thief or an undead...he can't call the police.
"What?!"
Amos was shocked.
His first reaction was indeed to go to the study to take a look. But after Annan's repeated urging with a hint of tears, he hurried over.
But Annan was quickly glad that he called Amos over and didn't hold up the kitchen knife he temporarily named Frostmourne to see Elle's father——
Because Annan clearly saw that Amos took out a revolver from his waist. And it didn't seem to be an ordinary gun... There was a line of shining silver words written on the gun that Annan couldn't understand.
.And its caliber is frighteningly large.
At least Annan was sure that for Ai Lei, who was also an ordinary person, the power of this gun was enough to kill her.
"...Is there anyone inside?"
Amos asked in a low voice.
"I didn't see clearly," Annan's equally low voice was full of fear, "but I saw... the curtains just moved, it seemed like someone was there!"
Amos looked at the closed door of the piano room, which was tightly held by Annan, and quickly moved Annan behind him, raised the muzzle of the gun with his right hand, and placed his index finger slightly on the trigger: "Stand behind me, Amos.
Lei... no, stay away."
"Be careful too, Amos."
Annan responded in a low voice, and the left hand placed on Amos's back trembled slightly, fully revealing its owner's fear and helplessness.
Amos, on the other hand, hunched over and pushed the door open suddenly.
He squinted his eyes slightly, held the door tightly with his left hand, and took aim randomly in the room for a while. But of course, he didn't see anyone else.
And he slowly leaned forward and looked behind the door first - no one was there.
Then Amos raised his voice: "Come out, my friend!
"——I see you!"
While saying this, Amos slowly approached the heavy curtains at the end of the room with his gun raised, and at the same time said loudly: "Ai Lei, hide behind the door!"
"OK……"
There was still a little fear in Annan's voice, and there was a slight tremor. But it was obvious that her father's arrival had given "Ai Lei" enough courage...
At the same time, Annan's brisk right hand took out a kitchen knife from her arms. And her left hand slowly took out the kitchen knife from where she had previously hidden it.
Then Annan took aim for a while and quickly threw two kitchen knives towards Mr. Amos!
The large kitchen knife was relatively heavy and struck Amos on the right shoulder. He couldn't help but scream, and in pain, the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
The smaller kitchen knife was originally intended to be nailed into the back of Amos's head. But he moved because of the pain, and the sharp kitchen knife only cut into the left side of Mr. Amos' neck, creating a slit.
A deep, bleeding gash.
At this time, Annan had already pulled out the remaining two kitchen knives from his arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and pounced on them without hesitation.
He slashed Amos's neck with one knife, cut off Amos' right hand that was blocking the knife with another knife, and stabbed him in the eye socket with his backhand.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or something... Annan's knife happened to penetrate Amos's left eye.
It's exactly the location of the scorch mark on Airei's portrait!
Annan knocked Amos down, sat on him, cut his throat, and nailed his eyes, ears, and temples respectively. But Amos was still struggling, as if he would not die, the bright red paint
Oozing, oozing...a lot of oozing from him.
It dripped onto the ground, leaching out a bright red color. Then it gushes out, like a collapsed dam. The bright red liquid gushes out from the cracks in the screaming Amos, flooding the entire room in the blink of an eye.
Annan felt as if he was immersed in sea water, and there was a strong sense of suffocation. It was as if there was only this bubbling red ocean left in the whole world...
He struggled in the red ocean and gradually lost consciousness.
When Annan woke up again, he was still floating in the sea of blood. But he no longer felt the strong sense of suffocation. Instead, he was breathing normally, and a large number of system prompts flashed before his eyes.
