()Okay, I’m so tired that I can’t even tell the difference between 65 and 66. It seems that the two updates for several days in a row have caused brain fatigue...

Kirito politely declined Paula's invitation to stay for dinner and left Lenci's villa. Naturally, this was done to make Paula subconsciously think that he was just meeting Lenci and had no other unnecessary behavior.

It is also to make the other party relax their vigilance.

After returning to the car, Kirito quickly started the car and left the vicinity of the villa. At the same time, his mind began to analyze what they said when he met Latisha last night and Lenci just now. Finally, Kirito got

A ridiculous idea, that is - among two people, only one can live during a certain period of time.

Kirito clearly remembered that he saw Latisha in the warehouse last night, but at that time Reni Lenz was completely dead. However, when he went there at noon today, he saw Reni Lenz alive. Although he could not see

Whether the woman who came to the warehouse is dead, but from the fact that Reni told him to rescue Latisha at night, it is not difficult to analyze that among the two, Reni is alive in the morning and will die at night, while

Latisha is just the opposite - she dies in the morning and is resurrected at night.

"Is there a phantom book that can resurrect a person, but at the cost of another person's life? Huh." Biting the nail of his thumb, Kirito frowned and said in a daze: "Ha... what if Darian is like this?

If you are here, you should know the name of the phantom book." Kirito couldn't help but think of the arrogant but timid girl at home, and he didn't go back for a day. He really didn't know what he would do if he waited for him

Will she take it as a tantrum when she gets back, or will she be so hungry that she can no longer move?

The more he thought about it, the more irritated Kirito felt in his heart. Even the raging malice in his body was surging fiercely, as if he felt his own sympathy, and the malice that kept turning into reality corroded Kirito's body.

"Let me tell you... I feel very unhappy at this time. Can you please stop being so naughty?" Well, only one person can regard the malicious erosion of six billion people as just the naughty behavior of a child.

Only a black swordsman who has lived with them for several years can do this.

"Really, you don't want to think about whose body you have been living in for so long." Kirito muttered with an obviously unhappy expression on his face, treating his body as a 'house' to live in.

, it was also noisy all day long, especially in the first few days, which made Kirito unable to sleep. If it weren't for a particularly important concern in his heart, he would have gone crazy due to the malicious erosion.

————————————————————————————————————

After finally getting up from the slightly warm car, Kirito looked at the sun that was about to sink into the horizon. The surroundings began to be surrounded by the darkness of the night. If he wanted to save Latisha, now was a good time.

Abandoning the front entrance break-in, this time Kirito invaded the courtyard from the back of the house and came to the entrance of the warehouse. The condition of the warehouse looked the same as yesterday, except that the fire stick leaning against the wall was missing, and -

- "Isn't the smell even stronger than yesterday?" Kirito's eyes looked disgustedly at the depths of the warehouse that seemed to blend in with the darkness. He covered his nose with his right hand and slowly put it down after he got used to it.

"As expected...is that so?" Kirito looked at the floor in front of him with the corpse lying on it just like yesterday, and murmured in a low voice. The corpse on the ground was no longer the corpse of Reni Lenz that he saw last night, but instead

It was a fresh corpse lying there.

It was the body of a young woman, a petite woman dressed in tatters. Her whole body was covered with wounds as if she had been stabbed countless times with sharp knives, and her blood flowed into a pool of blood on the floor of the warehouse.

"Latisha...?" Kirito groaned in a low voice, and his tone contained a hint that it was indeed the case. Lenji who died last night was resurrected, but Latisha died. It was like the dead and the living.

Same as replacing each other.

Suddenly, Kirito's expression moved, and he reached a darker corner of the warehouse in a flash. At the same time, he tried his best to avoid rubbing his body against the wall and making any sound. Just now, he felt someone walking down the stairs.

"That's...?!" Kirito's expression was startled when he looked at the people walking down the stairs. They were a woman with an overly neat appearance, and a young man with long hair. It was Lei.

Lenz and the woman who claimed to be his wife, Paula.

At noon, Kirito also noticed that Lenci's left foot was tied with a plaster, but now it was opened, revealing what was hidden inside. It was a metal shackle, used to prevent prisoners working in the mine.

The heavy metal torture instrument that escaped, Lenci was not living in a house, but someone put shackles on his feet to prevent him from leaving and made him continue writing.

Paula pushed Lenci into the warehouse like a prisoner. What she held in her chest was an ancient book, an ancient book written in a foreign language. The book seemed to be absorbing the bloody smell in the room.

It exudes a magical light in the darkness.

"Come out, dirty little mouse, I know you are there, or in other words, Mr. Kiritani Kazuto, please come out." Paula shouted to the shadows around her in an exaggerated tone like acting, just

With such a performance, Kirito was sure that the other party had never noticed him, but he was confident enough in his heart to confirm that he was in this warehouse, and the vigilance that always remained on Paula's face made Kirito not dare to act rashly for a while.

The most important thing about the automatic operation is the thing in Paula's hand, which is a clip-type repeating shotgun with a total of five rounds of bullets.

"It seems that the dirty rat is not willing to come out yet." After a while, Paula found that no one showed up, and her tone became impatient. With a sneer on her lips, she said harshly: "If you don't come out again,

, Mr. Kirito, this man needs to suffer a lot."

These words made Kirito frown. He was not sure what Paula meant. He felt that the madness in the other party's heart had already surpassed the change given by the magic of the fantasy book. Then, gunshots rang out in the warehouse.

Lenci's thigh was pierced by a bullet, and he rolled down the steps. It was Paula who raised the shotgun. White smoke came out of the gun's muzzle, and Lenci's painful screams echoed in the warehouse.

"Ohhhhhh...!!" Paula continued to aim at Lenci's calf and fired, and Lenci let out a deafening scream again.

"I'm very curious. I remember that the copy paper was taken away by me. How did you learn about Lenci and I's plan?" In the end, Kirito couldn't bear it anymore.

The expression was helpless and he slowly walked out of the dark corner. His light blue windbreaker made him look like a floating ghost or a murderer in a horror movie.

"Really, do you think this little cleverness will work for me? I am Lenci's wife, and I know everything about him." When she saw Kirito finally walking out of the shadow, Paula's face turned pale.

With a hint of pride, especially after hearing the question asked by Kirito, he smiled disdainfully, and then escaped from the chest of the dress with a piece of paper.

It was copy paper used for typewriters. If you adjust the angle to the light, you can see the typed text appearing on the surface of the copy paper. It was through investigating this that Paula found out the message Lenci wrote to Kirito.

However, he kept lying in wait, waiting for Kirito to rescue Latisha.

"It seems I was careless." After knowing that his and Lenci's plan failed, Kirito's expression became slightly impatient. After all, he rarely used a typewriter, and the era in which he lived was more technologically advanced.

, so I have no idea how an ancient machine like a typewriter works.

"Don't act rashly. I've heard more or less about your past, and I've also heard a little bit about your superb skills." At this time, Paula had already raised the shotgun in her hand and pointed it at the person who was standing there.

The black swordsman moved. It seemed that in her heart, the beautiful man in front of her was more dangerous than Reni Lenz, who was already in pain and almost went into shock on the ground.

"Haha, the current situation may be a bit overwhelming. It seems that I can't help you, Mr. Lenci." Looking at the position under the gun muzzle, Kirito spread his hands with an expression full of "

I'm sorry, I can't help you either.' However, when he looked at Paula, his expression instantly changed to 'Let's have a good talk', and he said: "Ms. Paula, no matter what, I just passed away with Mr. Lenci."

I have some friendship with you, and killing me will bring you some unnecessary trouble, so... you might as well let me go, and I will keep what I saw tonight a secret from you."

Hearing Kirito's tone that was obviously afraid of death, Paula's expression was stunned, and then instantly turned into disdain. "Hmph, what kind of 'perfect man', isn't he just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death in the end?

"

"Kirito...?" Reni Lenz, who was in agony on the ground, raised his head and looked at him with a very unfamiliar look, just because what the other party said and was about to do now was different from what he was doing in the royal capital.

The rumors I heard here are different. Now it seems that the other party is essentially a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

At this moment, Lenci's eyes came into contact with the other person for an instant, but he was stunned. The other person's eyes clearly conveyed - "Believe me." For some reason, according to common sense, ordinary people would be in such a situation.

They are all selfish under the circumstances, which is the bad nature of human beings, but strangely, Lenci felt extremely at ease the moment he made eye contact with the other person, as if the meaning expressed in the other person's eyes was absolutely right.

"Your idea is indeed very good. If I were an ordinary person, I would definitely listen to what you say, but..." After hearing the first half of Paula's words, Kirito breathed a sigh of relief, but the last two words were...

It raised his whole heart again. This tense and relaxed mood might have caused Kirito to lie down and twitch if he had heart problems.

"But I always think that the safest way is..." Having said this, Paula slightly raised the shotgun in her hand and pointed it directly at Kirito's neck, which is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body.

Then with a smile on his face, he said in a cold tone: "Only the dead are the best at keeping secrets..."

'Boom' The unique roar of the shotgun sounded in the eerily silent warehouse, and with an expression as if the movie had pressed the pause button, Kirito smiled stiffly, and his whole head flew into his mouth.

The completely disconnected optic nerve could even see the broken part of the neck where blood was flowing. However, the next moment, the face with a stiff smile turned into a calm indifference, and he muttered: "I am not willing to negotiate."

, but you cut off the last chance..." A trace of anger lingered in Kirito's eyes.

The first sound of 'Bang' and 'Bang' was the sound of the head falling to the ground, while the second sound was heavier, it was the body without the head falling to the ground like a broken doll.

"Hahaha...!!" Seeing such a terrifying scene, Paula did not panic as a woman should at all, but laughed, with unspeakable madness in her laughter, and a twisted madness in her heart.

smile.

"Tong...Tong Ren..." Lenci looked at the sudden scene in front of him in disbelief, with tears of regret in his eyes. After all, logically speaking, the other party had nothing to do with him, but now

He killed the other person because of his relationship. Such regret made his whole heart feel as if it was being squeezed by a huge hand.

However, Lenci's expression suddenly froze, and then he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, because just now, he seemed to see the head belonging to Kiritani Kazuto on the ground, winking at him, and smiling at himself.

one time.

Lenci, who had shouted just now, closed his mouth under the suddenly widened eyes in his head, because those eyes clearly expressed the intention to calm down.

"Kirito... is not dead yet..." Okay, leaving aside how Lenci got this ridiculous answer, in short, the other party's head was telling him that he was fine, yes... he was indeed fine, just

It's just the head falling off the body.

"Really, wouldn't it be better if you just stayed in your royal capital?" Probably because she thought that the biggest threat had been eliminated, Paula slowly walked down the steps of the warehouse holding the shotgun. As for what was left

As a living creature, with a body missing one leg, Paula didn't think it would have any impact on herself.

"Huh?" When she came to Lenci lying on the ground, Paula was confused by the other person's stunned expression, because the stunned expression was not that he was stunned because he had killed someone, but more like

The expression on his face that he was stunned when he saw some kind of incredible existence.

"Woman... there are some things in the world that you shouldn't know... and you... have touched that absolute taboo." The indifferent tone without any mechanism suddenly sounded in the small warehouse, which was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.

The familiar tone made Paula's expression instantly change to shock, and her beautiful eyes like glass balls widened at a speed she had never imagined.

Paula turned back suddenly. The only remaining head on the ground was slightly curved at the corners of its mouth, and seemed to be smiling. However, that smile, in Paula's eyes, was definitely no less than the smile of death.

"Monster!!" Paula shouted tremblingly, raising the shotgun in her hand and aiming at the only remaining head on the ground. However, her slender calves suddenly tightened, and the hand of the headless corpse on the ground had been stretched out firmly.
Chapter completed!
