Chapter 1 / The Murderer and the Corpse Thrower

"Through me into the city of pain,

Through me, into the pit of eternal misery,

Through me, enter the eternal crowd,

Abandon all hope, you who enter this way."

The man in black robe hummed the hymn softly, raised the ax in his hand high, and then lowered it, the sharp ax blade drawing blood-red tracks in the air.

The first blow of the ax struck, and the man who was trampled under his feet let out a miserable cry. But soon, as the number of ax falls increased, the victim's voice began to grow low, and the twitching of his limbs gradually stopped.

"I praise God, I praise their parents, I praise mankind, I praise the ancestors for nurturing and raising them, I praise life, and I praise the time and place that gave birth to them..."

Every time a line of praise is recited, the ax raised high in the man's hand will fall down. As the length of the poem varies, the blood slipping from the ax blade will fall to the hood of the murderer.

After a long time.

"Ha...ha..." The man gasped and stopped what he was doing.

Under his feet, the victim's head and upper body had turned into a ball of flesh, with only a pair of black boots with gold hoops still intact.

"Three people a day, I won't go to heaven..." The murderer laughed, "This is the first one."

The murderer burped with satisfaction, wiped the bloody ax blade on his clothes, stuffed it into his arms, and left the messy alley.

The streets were dark late at night, and the cold air even froze the soil. The man stumbled on the street, but he couldn't find any target.

"I hate the night, I hate the moon." The man looked at the dark sky above his head and couldn't help complaining, "It's not interesting to have only one person..."

But there is no way, the night is already deep, and fine night snow begins to float in the sky. In this kind of weather, most people prefer to stay indoors.

"Huh..." Just when the man thought he had only that one harvest today, he noticed something unusual.

Not far away, there was a short figure dragging something. It looked like the thing was very heavy. He had to take a break every time he dragged it a certain distance.

"Oh... a child..." The man smacked his lips, looking a little dissatisfied. The child's resistance was too weak, and he didn't like the feeling that it ended all at once.

He likes those prey that are still struggling desperately under his attack. Even their internal organs are bleeding out, and they are still crying and trying to crawl away from him, leaving the smell of blood everywhere. That feeling is really wonderful.

Already.

"But it doesn't matter, let's just make do today." The man chuckled and followed.

Only after the man in black robe got closer did he notice what the child was pulling. This situation surprised him and also made him feel interesting.

What the child was pulling was a corpse, the corpse of a very tall man. Although he was a boy, he was still not strong enough to lift the man, who was nearly 2 meters tall, so he could only drag the corpse.

After walking and dragging for a while, you need to take a rest to regain your strength.

This made the man feel a little curious. He couldn't understand the mystery. How could a child with weak hands kill this big man? This made him confused. It seemed that there were no obvious external injuries on the body.

However, he instinctively felt that this child was a little strange, and he might be able to give him some unexpected surprises.

He wasn't ready to take action now. The process of following the prey was a pleasure in itself. And because he didn't have the habit of hiding corpses, it didn't mean that he wasn't interested in how other people disposed of the corpses.

Following the boy, an old man and a young man walked slowly. The former was weak and the latter was not in a hurry. Slowly, they had walked a long way bit by bit.

The boy in the distance finally stopped, but what surprised the man was that the place where he stopped was an empty square about dozens of meters wide. Although there was no one now, more than ten hours later, there would be

Crowds of people will gather.

After dragging the man to a corner of the square, the boy dropped the body in his hands and ran quickly to the center of the square. The man was stunned by the boy's actions before he realized that he had been discovered.

"Come out, I know you are there!" The boy stood in the center of the square and shouted in the direction he came from, "You have been following me since just now, stop pretending to be stupid!"

Some childish shouts penetrated the snowy air, and the moisture from the boy's mouth condensed into white mist under the moonlight.

What should we do... The man felt a little excited about this accident, so he rushed over and killed him.

However, at this moment, the boy suddenly waved his arm and threw something in the direction of the man.

The thing hissed and burned in the wind, and the man felt a little bad. He took a step back and raised his hands to cover his face——

"Boom!" The thing exploded. The huge explosion burst into flames in front of his eyes, and the shock wave rolled past him. The power surprised him——

Throw it too close, otherwise the thing is likely to hurt him. In addition to the burning smell, there is also some oily flour smell mixed in the air. The man was slightly surprised, that child is a mage?

"I am the apprentice of Black Robe. Even if you kill me, I will copy your face and send it to my teacher with a spell." After throwing an immature fireball spell, the child looked much calmer.

, he began to look around constantly.

Is this the reason why he chose an open place? Only then did the murderer understand the little boy's thoughts. Although for him, a distance of tens of meters could be covered in a few seconds, but there was no need for him to take such a big risk.

Is not it?

He took a step back, retreated into the shadows and left.

.

Su Zuo could see the man. Although the man was hiding in the shadow of the night and the wall, the power of the spell gave him the ability to see through the darkness.

The bruise he got from fighting someone before was still burning, but he could only endure it now.

It had been less than a month since he traveled across time. To be honest, he was still unfamiliar with the streets of Wenning District, so he pretended not to notice and walked a long way before he found this place suitable for a showdown.

It doesn't matter what the corpse is, as long as it is dragged far away and thrown away, this is not the earth. People die every night in Wenning District, and no one cares about the pain these corpses endured before death.

After Su Zuo bluffed so much, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the black figure in the distance turning away.

Of course, everything he said was false. He was just thrown out by the Black Robe a month ago. How could he have anything to do with those mages again? He didn't even know the real name of the so-called "Black Robe"

, I only heard it mentioned once by the two people who dumped the body, so I remembered it in my heart.

But then again, even if he has a qualified mage instructor, with his current ability, he cannot use a spell like "Visual Communication". This spell is not only an arcane spell with extremely high technical requirements,

Moreover, it is a level 4 spell that can only be cast by a mid-level mage. He has just learned magic for two weeks, how could he possibly be able to use it?

As for the truth about the explosion, it is very simple to put it bluntly. It was a bomb he made using lard, flour, distilled alcohol, sugar, salt and other things. However, Su Zuo has forgotten almost all his chemical knowledge, so it is not very powerful.

It's so pitiful that it can basically only be used to scare people.

But it seems that with this little prop and a certain amount of information asymmetry, he finally managed to trick the malicious guy away with coaxing and deception.

"What a scary guy... I hope I'll never see him again." Su Zuo was a little indifferent to the smell of blood all over his body.

.

However, the process of meeting again was so simple, and the time interval between them did not even exceed 10 minutes due to one-sided deliberateness.

Looking at the masked man coming out of the street corner, Su Zuo felt like he was about to cry.

Bastard! Can't you give me a chance to breathe?! It's not over yet! I just came out to take out the garbage! You've caused so many things! I bought a watch last year. Is that okay?

!!!

But there was no way, Su Zuo realized that since the other party dared to appear in front of him openly, it meant that he didn't care about the bomb in his hand at all, and judging from the way he wanted to kill him even if he covered his face with black cloth, this guy

He is an out-and-out lunatic - how can any normal person insist on rushing up and stabbing the opponent to death even though he knows that the forces behind him cannot afford to offend him?

Su Zuo soon discovered that he had made a mistake: "...This guy is not using a knife...but an axe!"

.

The man still had enough energy to slowly follow behind the small prey. He could no longer escape, so he was not in a hurry to kill him. The man enjoyed the chase process very much.

The boy tried various methods. He even knocked on the door of the roadside shop, but it was useless. The man knew this very well. The slums at night were hunting grounds where no one would disturb them. If not

In this case, he would not choose this place as a hunting area.

He raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart began to beat "bang", "bang", his cold blood began to boil, and his dead soul began to resurrect. He felt as if he had returned to the battlefield again, facing those disgusting Nan

The untouchables of the Ling people raised their long knives high and took off their heads with a grin.

He began to sing loudly, praising the gods.

“Because you see all good things, you enjoy the Holy Spirit!”

"To the land blessed by the gods, we offer our treasures!!"

"The fifth ray is the most beautiful in heaven and earth, because it is the truth!!!"

The man lowered his head and prepared to offer his sacrifice.

But he found that there was nothing in front of him.

A skinny and hungry cat walked slowly in front of him and turned to look at him.
