The black-haired boy, however, was Ilmi. [Zero ↑ nine △ little ↑ said △ net]
He had received a commission to kill Barney Garfield, so the heart that was dug out was naturally Barney's.
He had openly watched a play in the rainy night, and then when the play was about to end, he appeared and easily completed the commission.
Barney was stunned, wondering why his chest was hurting. His consciousness gradually faded, and he fell to the ground weakly.
Blood quietly spread out from under his body, turning into countless bright red snakes swimming in the water.
Ellie stared blankly at Barney who had fallen in front of her, her light blue eyes slowly dyed red with blood.
The image in her memory that she did not want to touch overlapped with the scene in front of her.
Her thoughts suddenly felt like they were forcefully twisted into strips by a pair of hands, and then forcefully torn apart.
The broken thoughts made her eyes slightly empty, and she stood there in a daze, her body stiff, the bone-chilling cold eating away at every corner of her body.
Barney died in front of her, and Kenda's fate was unknown.
Ilmi only wanted to complete the commission, and did not care about Ellie's feelings. Even if he twisted Barney's head off in front of Ellie, it was not worth his attention.
Two boys with black hair and black eyes, about the same age, stood in the alley, facing each other in the rain, holding a fresh heart in their hands.
The heart in Law's hand had been beating at a constant rate, but the heart in Ilmi's hand was stained with blood, and its beating had begun to become extremely weak.
Ilmi noticed this difference, and a flash of doubt passed through his black eyes. Thinking of the cause of Kuli's death, and the sudden appearance of the book, he concluded that it could only be related to Nianzhi. [Zero ↑ nine △ little ↑ said △ net]
"Your employer is dead."
Ilmi threw the heart in his hand, and it was unknown if it was intentional, but the thrown heart fell to the ground and rolled a few times, coming to Ellie.
Law's narrowed pupils slowly relaxed, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened because Ellie was not far behind Ilmi. If Ilmi attacked Ellie, there was nothing he could do.
Moreover, he did not even see Ilmi's action of digging out Barney's heart.
This boy, who was about ten years old, was the boy he saw in the hotel lobby that day.
Law materialized the book in silence and sealed Vogt's heart into the pages.
He did not kill Vogt because Vogt was still useful to him. Now that he might have to fight this person who had suddenly appeared, he had to seal the heart into the book first so that his hands would be free.
Ilmi watched quietly, feeling that it was very interesting.
The commission has been completed, and he has no reason to stay, but he is curious about Law now, so he did not leave immediately.
When Law sealed his heart into the pages of the book, the pain that directly affected his nerves disappeared.
He felt a deep sense of despair. Trembling, he crawled up from the ground and only wanted to escape.
Law did not look back at Vogt, but stared at Ellie. His eyes were motionless, and he did not even dare to look away to see Ellie's situation.
"Stay where you are and don't move," he suddenly said in a deep voice.
Although he was looking at Ilmi, his words were not directed at Ilmi.
As soon as he finished speaking, Vogt let out a blood-curdling scream and fell to the ground in a sorry state. The torturous pain once again affected his nerves.
After a moment, the pain disappeared.
Vogt did not dare to act rashly now. He shrank back to the wall and waited. His heart was terrifyingly cold.
The convulsive pain just now was like a hammer that woke him up, letting him clearly know the situation he was in.
As long as Law wanted to, he would continue to suffer this inhuman pain, and his life and death were in Law's hands.
The scene that happened in front of him made Ilmi's interest even more intense.
Seizing the heart and sealing it in the book, taking people's lives with a thought, and also causing unbearable pain. It can be used to coerce and control others. What an interesting thought.
Ilmi also knew how to think. Not only did he have a solid physical foundation, but he also had the same control of Ki, but he had not yet developed his own thought. He was not in a hurry to do so.
As long as he wanted, he could develop his thought at any time, and the embryonic form of thought was related to control.
Now that he saw Law's ability, he was more interested in controlling this factor.
"Your thought is very interesting." Ilmi took a step back and got closer to Ellie.
Seeing Ilmi's deliberate action, Law's face turned cold. His body moved slightly but he forcibly restrained himself. He was afraid that any random action would provoke Ilmi to hurt Ellie.
The main reason was that Ilmi dug out the heart too fast, so Law was not sure if he could get Ellie back.
Ilmi smiled and took another step back, as if deliberately provoking Law.
When he took a second step back, Law did not make any obvious move and gradually calmed down.
After seeing Law's reaction was relatively cold, Ilmi stopped playing and looked at Law and said: "Let me tell you a piece of good news."
Law frowned slightly and his eyes were cold.
"The commission I received was to take Barney Garfield's life. As for his daughter's life, it was not in the commission." Ilmi's emotionless dark eyes stared at Law and said: "Are you happy?"
As long as Ilmi was so close to Ellie, how could Law be happy? But after hearing Ilmi's words, his slightly frowned brows relaxed. This showed that there was room for negotiation.
"What's your purpose?"
Law maintained a steady output of Qi to guard against accidents. If what Ilmi wanted was money, then it would be easy to deal with.
Ilmi heard the question and touched his chin, thinking about how to answer the question.
After a while, he stared at Law with dead eyes and said: "There is no purpose, but there is something I want to try."
"What is it?" Law maintained a high level of vigilance.
Ilmi took another step back and stretched out his small and slender right hand. As he twisted, the five fingers changed in the blink of an eye. The joints became slightly protruding and the nails became long and sharp.
He put the long sharp nails on Ellie's neck, exuding a cold and ruthless killing intent, and said seriously: "For example, after killing her, how will you react?"
Law's eyelids slowly lifted and then slowly lowered. The Ki floating on the surface of his body was increasing at a slow rate.
Because the speed was slow, it was very noticeable.
The change in Ilmi's right hand reminded him of Qi Lan, which made him think of Ilmi's identity. The answer was obvious.
"If you touch Ellie, I promise you, even if you run back to the mountains, I will take your life." Law stared at Ilmi with a gaze as calm as a corpse.
This kind of gaze was very similar to Ilmi's, but it was fundamentally different.
When he said this, Law's tone did not have the slightest fluctuation, nor did it have any killing intent, but it produced an unquestionable aura.
This kind of certainty of dominating the life and death of others, with the help of the Ki floating on the surface of the body slowly dissipated, forming a breathtaking aura that covered Ilmi.
The sound of the heavy rain in the alley seemed to disappear. No one knew that at this moment, it was two people silently looking at each other.
Facing Law's gaze, Ilmi's small face slowly showed a dignified expression. For a moment, he saw the shadow of his grandfather in Law.
Dominating, determined, unquestionable … based on the foundation of taking people's lives.
It seems … he went too far.
"Well, I'm kidding."
Ilmi decisively withdrew his right hand, and also withdrew the murderous aura, and shrugged.
He did not have full confidence to win against Law, and whether it was killing Ellie or killing Law, there was no benefit.
