The Righteous Player(s)

　　 "Huh..."

　　 Seeing that he silently killed three people with three consecutive attacks, Annan relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.

　　 Just now, Annan suddenly had a strong intuition in his heart-if he cut a fourth knife, he might die.

　　 Although he knew that he wouldn't die from the frost injury in theory, this kind of strong heart palpitations made Annan withdraw his thoughts of planning to make a few more dollars.

　　 For the first time, he felt that the breath he exhaled was so cold, like the wind blowing from a cold storage. His chest was also cold, and his right hand holding the sword was frozen almost unconscious, and the intense chill spread from his wrist to his arm.

　　 At this time, there was a cold sore sensation in the shoulders and wrists.

　　 immediately surging in the chest, a strong itching mixed in the numbness.

　　 "Cough...cough..."

　　Annan's body became stiff, and he coughed twice, and there was a sharp pain in his chest.

　　 But this pain is mixed with soreness and itching, but it seems to have caused him to experience a self-masochistic exercise. Annan couldn't help not feeling the pain of being difficult to move, but a strong sense of joy was born in his heart.

　　 is his own reason that restrains him, telling him "you have to take a rest", so he can resist his desire to jump up and vomit blood...

　　Annan immediately stopped in place and began to take a deep breath to adjust his state, trying to exhale all the cold air immersed in his lungs. After repeating it six or seven times, he felt a little warmth in his chest and his limbs gradually warmed up.

　　 I always feel that this kind of pain is unusual.

　　 To be on the safe side, he still opened his panel.

　　In the dungeon, attributes, occupations, and other things seem to be invisible. Annan can only see his own health and erosion:

　　 Health: 70%

　　 Corrosion degree: 4%

　　 "This frost swordsmanship hurts the body a bit..."

　　Annan frowned slightly, and his memory suddenly grew.

　　 He is very compelling in his heart. He is not using Annan's body, but John's.

　　 John hadn't suffered any injuries before, but he used Frost Swordsmanship three times in a row, and he suddenly deducted 30% of his health.

　　 When he used Frost Swordsmanship before, he obviously didn’t pay any price...

　　 He suddenly recalled the memory fragments that belonged to the original "Annan" he had seen before—

　　 Mingming Xiao Annan only cut one or two swords at a time, but he looked very tired. It’s not like being weak because of my young age, but it’s a bit like the way I am now...

　　 It seems that Frost Swordsmanship should have a built-in CD, which can only be used twice in a row at most, otherwise it will burden the body.

　　 "It deserves to be the secret swordsmanship of the duke family..."

　　Annan sighed with satisfaction.

　　According to the general routine, the more burdensome the skill is, the stronger it should be.

　　 Jun didn't see the old enemy of Hagaki Wuwukai. The legendary Mater changed one, and almost succeeded in changing one by relying on the unique knowledge of the same hand.

　　 The identity of "Annan" is probably a direct descendant of the Duke of Winter.

　　 This is the son of the Grand Duke!

　　 Although I don’t know how many children the Lord Duke has, he can be regarded as one of the heirs of the duchy. From now on, we can still look forward to the leisurely days of prosperity and wealth, eating together and waiting for death...

　　Annan exhaled a big breath of cold again, and then he straightened up. Drag the corpses of the three people who were silently assassinated into the room one by one.

　　 is like the sneak assassination game he played.

　　 After killing someone, you must remember to hide the body. Otherwise, killing is basically the same as killing in vain.

　　 It’s a pity that there is no such convenient thing as a trash can or closet that can hold a lot of dead bodies...

　　 So Annan thought a little, and stuffed all three corpses under the quilt. Only the back of the head and two faces that are close together are revealed.

　　 He specially selected the side that was not frozen and looked relatively intact and placed it outside.

　　 As long as there are no weird people in this room, it should be very appropriate. The bodies of these three people should be able to hide until the end of the copy.

　　...If you really run into that kind of perversion, who dare to enter the house and take a closer look after seeing such a horrible scene, even if you are excited to lift the quilt and take a closer look, then Annan will be fine.

　　 After all, psychology is knowledge that is only useful to humans...

　　Annan waited for a while, and found that even though he no longer exhaled the air, the pain was relieved, but the health value that had fallen did not naturally recover.

　　 He smashed his mouth in disappointment.

　　 can't breathe back blood...

　　Obviously, his injury seems to have recovered, but his health has not risen accordingly.

　　...Or is it because he was only in a "nightmare" to recover from the internal injury so quickly?

　　Annan narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

　　 He no longer delays time. Seeing that his health has not been restored, he walked out directly, planning to carry out the next hunt.

　　 Annan repeated the rhythm of hiding first-and then hitting the big backstab directly, killing all the guards under the deck or patrolling or resting.

　　 Counting the first three people, there are eleven people in total.

　　 It sounds like a very heavy project, but under the premise that no one has received any warnings, and it seems that all the guards have not entered the stage, this only delayed Annan for less than half an hour.

　　 Although he is not sure, everyone killed by him is a traitor...

　　 But in the final analysis, it's just a copy. It's just an illusory dream, a story that happened a day ago. In the real history, perhaps the betrayers have already successfully killed their master, and swept away with the wealth and secret treasures belonging to Don Juan.

　　If you can't tell who is the betrayer, you might as well kill them all.

　　 By this time, Annan had realized that something was obviously wrong—

　　 He noticed a detail that he hadn't noticed last week.

　　Why didn’t he see a servant or even a female worker doing chores on this ship?

　　 This is obviously unreasonable. Don Juan is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year. Even if he is sent to a remote town to be a lord, it is impossible for him not to give him a servant.

　　 It's not dignified at all... and they also brought an old wizard with him. Who will take care of his daily life?

　　 It is obviously nonsense to say that it is impossible to carry so many servants, or that the servants are on other ships. Annan saw many empty rooms. Those rooms were obviously servants' rooms—a few people crowded into a small space, with obvious traces of life, some coats, and even half a cup of fresh water.

　　 Same, there is no one inside.

　　 Are they all on the deck? All in the captain's room?

　　 This is unlikely...

　　 Therefore, after clearing all the guards on patrol, Annan began a careful search of each house.

　　 Finally, Annan found them in a room that was presumably used to store domestic garbage and could smell bad from outside the room.

　　—In the form of a corpse.

"…what is this?"

　　Annan frowned, a little surprised at the calmness that he did not have the slightest nausea or fear.

　　 He shook his head and looked at them carefully.

　　 The ordinary people dressed as servants were all **** with ropes and hung upside down, bleeding to death. It can be roughly judged from the traces that they should have been arrested first and then killed.

　　 The blood on the ground has been cold, but it hasn't completely dried up yet. It should be something that happened not long ago. The reason why the blood can't be smelled from the outside is just because fresh dirt is stuck on the seam of the door and the door handle outside, which is isolated with a stronger smell.

　　 But in the room, it seems to have been cleaned beforehand, and there is no dirt at all.

　　 There are only half-dry blood stains and footprints deliberately stepped on the blood. Those footprints are densely packed, seeming to go around the middle of the room several times.

　　 Annan looked carefully, and finally found a detail from the center of the footprint that looked like a drag:

　　 In the middle of the room, there is a tongue in the bloodiest spot. In terms of length and thickness, it seems, probably, maybe... beef tongue?

　　 Annan cautiously avoided the blood stains and walked closer to look.

　　 He did not dare to touch anything, so he could only look far away. After watching it for a long time, he discovered that a weird symbol was embroidered on that bull tongue with black thread or something. And under the bull tongue, there is a very small mirror.

"…what?"

　　 Suddenly, Annan was taken aback.

　　 He recalled how he was hacked to death by Claus last week—

　　 After he saw Klaus, he decisively launched an all-out sneak attack on the opponent. And Klaus just closed his mouth and looked at him, and Annan was suddenly hit by his own attack.

　　 It's like the damage has been transferred...It's not like a rebound. Because the heights of "John" and Klaus are not the same, the blow he hit Klaus's chest should hit his abdomen if he bounced back.

　　 That is more like a kind of mapping...

　　At that time, because Captain Klaus didn't know that Annan would not be killed by freezing damage, seeing that he didn't die immediately like the others, he started taunting his half-hearted frost swordsmanship.

　　 At that moment, Annan vaguely saw Klaus’s mouth and saw another black rune that was symmetrical to this rune.

　　—Or rather, the rune that is the same as the reflection in the mirror. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 The mirror does not reflect the rune on the cow tongue.

　　Because the rune on the cow tongue is facing upwards, but the mirror is under the cow tongue... This means that the mirror image of the rune on the cow tongue is hidden on the "other side" that is invisible and nonexistent in the mirror.

　　 If the mirror image exists, then the mirror rune should be exactly the same as the rune in Klaus's mouth!

　　Annan suddenly felt his scalp numb.

　　He realized where Klaus’s weird ability came from...

　　...Perhaps, this is the source of Klaus's ability to feed back his attacks!

　　Annan mentioned his long sword. But he thought about it, and put the sword back cautiously.

　　 He has such a handy weapon...

　　 He took out the exquisite long dagger belonging to Don Juan from his arms.

　　 "I haven't practiced flying knives either..."

　　 Annan grumbled, still standing on the periphery of the blood stain.

　　 He doesn't know how to break this ritual, but it's always best not to pull yourself into it-he doesn't dare to step on those footprints. Anyway, either smash the bull tongue out, smash the mirror, or string the bull tongue with the mirror... try one by one.

　　 If it doesn’t work, go out and search for corpses again. Search out the weapons of those betrayers and smash them one by one.

　　 As long as the distance is less than three meters, even the ferrule has to be hit.

　　 Annan held the dagger for a long time before throwing it out.

　　 Very lucky...or, this dagger is also very competitive, and Annan’s first blow was not allowed to do extra work-Annan’s first blow was to string the bull tongue with the mirror.

　　 While cutting the rune on the bull tongue in half, he also successfully smashed that weird mirror!
