The first scream was like the sound of a horn.
The woman's neck was cut in half, and blood spurted out from the wound like a fountain,
She did not fall to the ground immediately,
Instead, she looked around at the crowd that was screaming and running away in disbelief, as if she wanted to run with them,
But before she could take two or three steps..,
She fell to the ground with a whoosh.
Under the panicked footsteps of the crowd, blood spread silently,
Soaking the entire carpet,
Although the carpet was also dark red,
However, there were still traces of something different.
There was no way to cover up the beginning of this cruel massacre.
The sound of a machine gun rang out without warning. The bodyguard with an antenna on the back of his neck couldn't help but shoot at everyone present,
Behind him..,
The baby-faced youth hid behind the barrier created by the overturned tables and chairs. There was a cruel joy on his smiling face as he stared at the screen.
The middle-aged man without eyebrows quickly walked through the crowd. He clearly looked like an ordinary person,
However, wherever he went, people would fall like wheat being cut down. Every single one of them had their necks broken by the tremendous force. Their heads and bodies had almost reached a 360-degree rotation, and they did not even have the time to scream.
They had already lost their lives.
The short and gloomy man's hands were even sharper than the blade,
His speed was even faster than Finks,
Wherever he passed, there was a scene of heads and bodies flying into the sky,
Other than that..,
Occasionally, there were people who were dismembered. Although they didn't die immediately, they weren't far from death. It was unknown whether these few extra minutes of life were lucky or unlucky for them.
Culolo held a book in one hand and stood in the middle of this bloody Asura field. He didn't need to do anything in this situation, as long as a few members had fun. He calmly looked at the girl holding the crown not far away. When the massacre began, she was standing in the center of the crowd. When the riot began, countless people's subconscious reaction was to pounce on her to protect her, but in the end, all of them died at her feet without exception. Only she still looked unscathed.
Half of her body was dyed crimson by the spurting blood, and even a few drops of blood splattered onto her exquisite face. Her right hand that held the crown was still dripping with someone's blood. Her pair of enchanting and resplendent purple eyes were filled with incomprehension. For a moment, she even forgot to leave this place filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. She just stood there in a daze, listening to the clear and tragic screams in her ears.
Why?
Why was the killing still unavoidable?
Why couldn't she stop all of this from happening even though she had already gotten what they wanted?
A voice in her heart answered for her. Because they were bandits.
This was the true appearance of this world.
This was the true appearance of these bandits.
Su Yu did not know how to react. For a moment, she felt as if she was in a dream. She dreamt that a purgatory was unfolding right in front of her.
She subconsciously tightened her grip on the crown in her hand. The sharp edges of the crown pierced her skin. Her blood mixed with the blood of others and dripped down. However, she did not seem to feel the pain. She just blankly tightened her grip on the crown.
Why did it hurt? Wasn't this a dream? Why did she still feel the pain?
There seemed to be a sound of something gradually shattering in her heart. At this time, she could not tell whether she was sad for the loss of life or afraid of the birth of this nightmare. She even had a ridiculous feeling about why she was standing here.
What was she doing?
"Su Yu."
The man walked over, the Thief's Mastery crown in his hand disappearing into thin air. He hadn't made a single move since the beginning, but when Ku Luoluo reached out to touch her, she still felt an electric shock of fear. She couldn't help but throw the crown away with a tremble of her hand.
However, the exquisite treasure did not fall into the pool of blood just like that. It was caught firmly by the man. Cuolo looked at the target of this operation in his hand and showed a satisfied expression.
"The first of the world's ten legendary treasures, the Heart of Polar Region. Legend has it that it was born in the extreme cold of the northernmost part of the continent. Due to the sudden drop in temperature, it was condensed from a huge aquamarine gem. It is a unique treasure in the world." The man's slender fingertips pointed at the pigeon-egg-sized gem in the middle of the crown. With a little force, the rare treasure was pulled out. "This trip is not a waste of effort. Although it is still a little unqualified for you."
He took the girl's clenched fist and forcefully pried open her fingers that were deeply embedded in her flesh. He then placed the gem in her hand.
The gem was stained with blood. At this time, the color of the gem was closer to purple. It was slightly similar to her eyes now.
Su Yu trembled slightly. She wanted to cover her ears and scream. She wanted to throw the gem at the man's face. She wanted to just run away, away from this place, away from this man. It would be best if she never saw him again.
But she couldn't. It was already difficult for her to run from here to a populated town. She couldn't even get angry at a man right now. The more emotional she was, the calmer she became. A string at the back of her head tightened, making her unable to do anything impulsive.
In the end, Su Yu could only ask in a trembling voice, "Why?"
In fact, there was no need to ask such a question. However, she just wanted to ask with a trace of ridiculous expectation. She wanted to get an answer from the man. This answer would better deny her previous thoughts. It would be best if he told her that there were other reasons why he had to do it. At the very least, he should lie to her so that she could convince herself to calm down.
She just could not accept it. She could not accept that this slaughter was happening in front of her. If she did not do anything and just watched coldly from the sidelines, she might be more relaxed now.
However, it was because she wanted to stop it, but she could not change anything.
This sense of powerlessness spread throughout her body, implicating everything that had happened since she came to this world. All of this seemed to be condemning her weakness and incompetence. Every second she stood there in a daze made her feel like the last straw that broke the camel's back. But to her own surprise, she still didn't fall.
She stared at the other party. She could not tell what she was feeling right now.
"Why?" The man's smile deepened. His face was eerily calm and there was no trace of gloominess between his brows. It was as though he was chatting with her gently. "What else is there to ask? Su Yu's question is really strange."
"Because we are thieves."
It was so simple.
After hearing the answer that she did not want to hear the most, Su Yu's eyes quietly showed a trace of despair. She still did not give up and asked, "Can't you stop? This is meaningless. This slaughter is meaningless... Can you stop now?"
She took a few steps forward and grabbed the white shirt in front of the man's chest with her trembling hands. In an instant, the white fabric was stained with the blood on her hands. The gem in her hand hurt, but she did not dare to let go. She was afraid that once she did, the man in front of her would show an unhappy expression.
"Hey, Culolo, stop. Whether it's the gem or the wealth, I'll ask them for it. They'll give it to me... I'll give it all to you." The girl's pleading voice gradually became tinged with a trace of sobbing. However, she still looked at the man with wide eyes. "I'll give it all to you... Can you ask them to stop?"
There were very few people in this world who could refuse a girl's request, not to mention now that she was showing a pitiful expression. She grabbed the man's shirt in front of his chest, and her whole body could not help but tremble. It was as if she was going to be attacked by a storm. She was so fragile that it seemed like she would collapse at any time. It was impossible not to feel pity for her.
Culolo almost agreed to her request. His hand trembled at his side, and he almost made a pause gesture. The words of agreement spun on his tongue, and it was only with his last shred of rationality that he didn't say it out loud.
"Why do you want me to stop?" He took a deep breath and asked in a very gentle tone. "Does Su Yu like these people? Don't you want them to be hurt?"
He even slowed down the speed of his words, as if he was afraid that the wavering girl would be frightened again. The man's hand brushed the long hair on her shoulder gently as if he was going on a beautiful date.
Hearing that there seemed to be a turning point in his words, Su Yu hurriedly nodded. Her face was full of sincerity, and she almost stretched out her hand to swear to the heavens.
Stop. Stop everything that's happening now. Let the sorrowful cries in her ears stop. Let this nightmare end. For this, she was willing to do anything.
If he could change something, if he could really make her change something, he would do it.
The man covered his mouth with one hand. This was a common gesture when he was thinking. He lowered his eyes and stared at the girl in front of him. His eyes were as deep as a black hole, as if all the unnecessary emotions were sucked in, leaving only a pure black.
After a long silence, as if he was afraid of scaring the girl, he asked softly, "What about me?"
"Does Su Yu like me?"
— —
Hearing his words, Su Yu couldn't help but widen her eyes. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
Endless screams continued to roll in her ears, and the muffled sound of someone falling to the ground could be heard every once in a while. The entire hall was covered in blood, and the exquisite buffet table was full of pieces of organs and minced meat. Wine was spilled all over the ground, mixing with the blood flowing on the ground. Occasionally, there was the sound of something rolling. It was the sound of heads being kicked away by people who were running in all directions.
Su Yu's eyes showed clear despair. The corner of her mouth trembled a few times, but she still couldn't say what she wanted to say.
It felt like a century had passed. She nodded slowly and heavily.
"Like. I like you, Culolo."
She tiptoed and kissed the man's slightly pursed lips.
The temperature of her lips was colder than her usual body temperature, like a person who had been drowning for a long time seeking air. The corner of Culolo's mouth slowly rose again. After enjoying the girl's clumsy kissing skills for a moment, he pulled the person close to him and kissed her deeply.
But the killing continued, and the screams didn't stop.
Nothing changed.
The man's words were drowned in the entanglement of their tongues.
