Lost Narrative Poetry

"Is anyone home? Open the door quickly!"

Along with the knocking on the door, a loud voice sounded outside the door.

"..."

"..."

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

After waiting for a while and no movement, the knock on the door rang again, and the person outside the door shouted: "Hey! Is anyone at home? Do you know if you checked the water meter today?!"

"Come, come, who...what's the matter?" After a moment, in the dimly lit space because the doors and windows were closed, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the lights were not turned on, there was a person in the dimly lit space. The young man walked out of the room.

He looks like a man who is full of vitality, suave, and handsome. If he goes to the romantic field at night, then he will definitely attract the attention of the opposite sex just like bright lights attracting moths.

But at this moment, his face was full of vigilance, like a cheetah that had discovered a threat. His eyes were shining, staring closely in the direction of the door in the dim space.

He obviously sounded very matter-of-fact, as if he was the master of the house, but his voice was slightly hoarse and unclear, as if he was impatient because he had just been woken up from his sleep.

However, all this was deliberately disguised by him, mainly to prevent the person outside the door from being an acquaintance and confusing the other person's thinking.

After all, if you are an acquaintance and hear the voice of a completely unfamiliar man at your friend's house for the first time, you will subconsciously pay attention, right? This could cause him quite a bit of trouble.

And such a disguise can more or less confuse him and buy him some time to determine the situation. Regardless of whether he wants to kill the people outside the door, it will at least allow him to make a correct judgment.

"I told you to check the water meter today! Do you need me to say it again?!" The young voice outside the door seemed a little impatient. "If anyone is home, open the door quickly. Why are you pretending to be dead before you die..."

The man suddenly felt a little more relaxed. This attitude did not seem to be a friend of this family, but more like those staff who came to collect fees or do other things.

But what the hell is checking the water meter? Could it be some urban characteristic unique to this strange Fuyuki City? As a foreigner, you don't know anything about this?

But whatever you say, it’s better to deal with it first, lest the lack of answer still arouses suspicion. The man thought quickly, then walked towards the door, pretending that he knew a lot about checking the water meter: "I know, I know... Come right now!"

A few seconds later, as soon as he opened the door, he quickly looked around outside the door and immediately relaxed completely subconsciously.

There was only a high school student of sixteen or seventeen years old outside the door, who seemed to be waiting impatiently, and there was no one else around the corridor... Sure enough, his crime was not exposed, so the policeman came to the door.

In this case, he would feel relieved... But since this was the case, should he kill another person to celebrate? For example, how about using this little devil in front of you who doesn’t know how to live or die?

The man thought this, and then subconsciously looked at the young man in front of him carefully, and then found that the other man was doing the same behavior.

Just as he was about to ask something, he noticed that the young man nodded and then gently raised his finger.

puff--

There was a dull sound, mixed with the subtle sound of something tearing and shattering.

"Why are you……"

The young criminal's eyes widened and he lowered his head in disbelief. He looked at the broken and bloody hole in his chest, with a large amount of bright red liquid spurting out, mixed with broken internal organs.

A murderer like him was completely unprepared for his own death. After all, no normal person would have thought that he would hear a knock on the door and go to open it.

The next moment, the guest outside the door directly killed himself... This was too bizarre. Even if the police came to the door, they would not be able to shoot so decisively!

Moreover, the young man outside the door had no weapons at all. After he opened the door, he looked at him carefully up and down, and then raised his index finger——

The next moment, Ryuunosuke Uyu heard the sounds of flesh and blood tearing, bones shattering, and internal organs shattering from his chest, followed by unbearable severe pain that seemed to come after a second or two. .

What exactly is going on……?

"Didn't I say that? Check the water meter..." The young man outside the door asked doubtfully, as if he didn't quite understand why the other party still couldn't understand it despite his clear expression from the beginning.

Perhaps it happened too suddenly, and the murderous maniac had not yet been able to recover his mind. However, after all, his vitality was at the level of an ordinary person, so he was unable to show any tenacious vitality beyond the physical limits.

Inherent skills such as being able to breathe without stopping and fighting to continue, no matter how you think about it, are unlikely to appear in an ordinary person.

So Ryūnosuke Uyu just felt that his body was cold, his vision was blurry, and his strength seemed to be rapidly draining from his bones, as if it was a reservoir that had opened its gates. A great feeling of fatigue and weakness hit his whole body...

This process seemed a bit long, and it took about ten seconds, at least from his subjective perspective, before he was completely swallowed up by heavy fatigue.

My eyelids are so heavy that I can no longer open them...

The throat seems unable to produce any meaningful syllables...

The dangerous young man in front of him just stared at him with an indifferent look...

Ah, so that’s it! Everything in that book was true. I thought it was just nonsense like sorcery, but it turned out to be real. It was just that the opportunity for me to come into contact with this mysterious time was because I was attracted by the people in it. Kill.

This was the last thought in the mind of the murderous murderer Ryunosuke Uyu, and he could no longer sense anything after that.

From Xia Ran's point of view, everything actually happened in an instant, not as long as ten seconds. He came to the door, confirmed the target, and then used Gandr's magic bullet to kill him with one strike with ease.

Ryuunosuke Ushei couldn't do anything to resist. He was just stunned for a moment, and found that a big bloody hole was opened in his chest by the curse. Then he stared at Xia Ran in great shock, and fell down without being able to finish a word... …

It's that simple.

There was no plot like the original destiny trajectory. This murderous maniac finally understood the true meaning of death, and then died with a smile, because he did not have the time to accept the reality, feel it carefully, and finally realized it.

Xia Ran glanced at her index finger and nodded gently.

Gandr——

It is a very versatile magic, derived from the rune magic inherited from Northern Europe.

Point your index finger at the target and shoot cursed magic bullets at the enemy. The curse will reduce the target's physical mobility, and if the magic density is sufficient, as the power increases, the magic bullet will also directly cause powerful physical damage.

A very practical offensive magic. As long as the magician's magical attainments are not too bad, it is equivalent to carrying a pistol with him. It consumes very little mana, can shoot bullets at will, and has curse properties...

Direct attack, instantaneous activation, extremely low consumption, and high cost performance, it will naturally become a very common magic. It is a magic that most magicians will learn as long as they go through systematic magic practice.

Ordinary magicians can use their fingers to fire magic bullets that are equivalent to the power of pistol bullets. So what is the power of the Gandr magic bullet fired by the fingers of an extraordinary magician like Xia Ran?

Seeing the blood and organ fragments sliding down the air on his transparent mind shield, Xia Ran directly kicked the body on the ground into the door.

There was a pinging sound, as if something heavy was flying up in the room, hitting the wall, then rolling down and knocking over the sofa, coffee table and other furniture as well as various cups and tea utensils. It was chaos.

Xia Ran didn't look at how far she kicked the body of an adult man, knocked over something, or caused any chaos in the room. She just politely closed the open door, then turned around and left. Walk.

The target has been killed, and the corresponding small amount of points and a C-level causal crystal have been obtained.

There is nothing else worth paying attention to. There is nothing special about Yu Sheng Ryunosuke. Although he is a plot character, he is just a make-up. After Xia Ran opened the bloody key he revealed, he only got a copy. Ancient books.

He was extremely fast. The moment he kicked the corpse away, he had already recovered the light spots on the corpse——

This is an ancient Japanese-bound book full of wormholes, and it is not a printed matter but a personal note. Special items can be read as normal notes or used as skill books.

And you can selectively choose one of several skills to strengthen, which is probably compiled based on the completeness of the content in the notes. There are only so many pieces of complete magical knowledge, so these are the only skills to choose from.

After turning a few pages, Xia Ran saw a handwritten date, which said the ninth year of Qingying.

It seems that this is a handwritten note written during the late Tokugawa period, more than a hundred years ago. It is unknown which magician it is from.

His reading speed was very fast, and in just the time it took to walk down the stairs, he read the entire dilapidated notebook from beginning to end. Except for the damaged pages, lost words or patterns, at least the remaining He already knew the contents by heart.

Although the origin of the original owner is unknown, he seems to be a magician with high attainments in magic. In this notebook, a lot of precious knowledge about magic is recorded in considerable detail.

It even includes the records of Fuyuki City's spiritual veins, detailed experiences in using spirit seance techniques, and research on summoning heroic spirits.

Considering this aspect, Xia Ran believes that it is likely to be the notes of a magician who was a participant in the Second Holy Grail War. However, he does not know why it fell into the hands of Ryunosuke Uyu, causing this murderous maniac to rise. A sense of curiosity.

Originally he just traveled around Japan committing crimes. After obtaining this notebook, he found the legendary spiritual place of Fuyuki City as mentioned above, hoping to rekindle his passion for killing.

He had seduced more than thirty victims and had already tried almost all kinds of executions and torture methods, but now he no longer felt anything new. No matter how cruel and humiliating the prey is, he can never regain the excitement and emotion he once experienced.

Therefore, he wanted to try a new way of killing...
