"It's really interesting. It seems that everything that has a source of life, no matter how small, will show up. Very interesting."
"How can I continue like this?!"
"Give it some time. You can finally control it so that the lines only appear when you want them to appear."
"How long will it last?!"
""Who knows? How many drops of water do you have in the storm? Does the wind really follow a fixed path? Will the sun rise tomorrow?"
"What the hell are you talking about?!" I exploded, and even the little girl dared not look at me with dreamy eyes.
"She meant she didn't know. It all depends on how you adapt." Archibald intervened. "Hey, you don't think they are just ordinary eyes, do you?"
I turned to Archibald, dazzling, making him wince. Well, looking at him now, I feel a little calmer, and I can see what Mary is talking about. Most of the shadow lines covering his body are located in important positions, such as arteries, blood vessels, etc. Maybe it will be more efficient for others to use them. I'm already a hopeless killer. I don't need any cheap tricks to help me!
"Hey," I said to the coward, "I kind of want to try these new eyes. Want to help me?"
My maddening smile easily showed my intention to kill.
"It's disgusting." Markey said with staring eyes. "Never laugh again."
"Why? Looks exactly like your beloved bitch!"
"How dare you! My mistress's smile is beautiful! In fact, you have nothing to do with her or anyone else on this issue."
""Oh? Maybe you want to be my test subject. "I gave him a hard look and told him I sincerely hope he can do the job.
"Do you think you can kill me?" Markey cried. "Only the heroine has that kind of power!"
"Then let's go!" I roared, and immediately drew my sword.
"Do you think you can wait any longer?" Mary intervened suddenly. "I believe we will be there soon."
I turned my vicious eyes to the distance where I could barely see the destination. I have never been there in person, or even approached it, but the description in the story I heard clearly shows that we are approaching the right place.
We are still far from here, we may not be there until the evening, but just looking at it will be awe-inspiring. A huge city wall ran a long distance across the grass, higher than the battlements of most castles. No matter how high it is, it is impossible to enter from above, at least that's how I was told.
I hope that for Archibald's sake, he has a plan to go in, because if he doesn't, he will find himself tortured by a random death. In fact, I really want to try my new eyes. do you know? I hope he failed.
"Wait, this is it? The impenetrable walls of the Sinner's Garden?" Archibald asked suspiciously.
"Why, have you never been here before?" I asked, looking up at the huge wall, never leaving Hades.
"Of course not! You know they say these plains are cursed, right? If you step on them, you won’t be able to live to see the next one! Now, I’m not a superstitious person, but I I have never heard of a detailed description of this place, which makes me wonder if anyone has actually been so close to this place. For example, maybe the rumors are true."
"Don't be silly!" I smiled, more like a mockery. "There is no curse here. I doubt if anyone really died here!"
"This is not entirely correct." Mary said as she scanned the grass around us. "I can only smell death in these plains. Although it is very old and faint, the smell does exist. Since we entered this area, it has been approaching us. There are many unique smells here, probably counted. Thousands."
"Can you smell it? I can't smell anything except grass and dirt"
"Yes, this is the smell you usually smell, but my nose is a bit different."
"Different?"
"She modified it." Archibald said casually, walking up and down the wall, knocking on his hand, seemingly to test its firmness.
"Really?" I muttered to myself. "What are the benefits of such a thing?"
"In fact, when treating patients, it is quite convenient. I can find all kinds of odors from patients. It is very useful when someone is poisoned. I can use their odor to tell Determine the composition of the toxin, which helps to quickly create an antidote."
"I see."
"More than that! I also strengthened my hearing, just like I hear you!" Yes, how could I forget? "If the patient has any muscle or bone pain, or even if an ** changes, I will be able to hear the problem and prescribe appropriate treatment for it. I also grow excess ** in my body, just in case In case I need an emergency transplant."
You know, for these modifications, she could have become a pretty good doctor. It's a pity that she didn't understand the patient's needs at all and ruined everything.
"Hey, have you two finished talking? I need help here" Archibald shouted impatiently as he was resting against the wall.
"How can I help? Did you find a weakness in the wall?"
"Don't be stupid. This is an impenetrable field. This is the first time I have encountered this situation, but even I can tell you that you cannot enter by brute force."
"So what? Do you want to dig below?"
"You don't understand which part of the impenetrable field?" he asked in a condescending tone that made my blade very thirsty. "The only suitable entrance is through the gate, but you need a key. You can't enter from the ground, nor from above. This spell is used to preserve anything and everything."
"I hope you have a plan, because I feel I have tolerated you more than you deserve. As you know, people who make me nervous usually have short life spans."
My apparent bloodthirsty just made him a little uncomfortable. Damn, he must know that as long as I need him, he is safe. He may not have realized that once I got what I needed, I would split his head in half. At that moment it still seemed out of reach, but patience was a virtue or something.
"I do have a plan. First, I need to find my cloak."
"Oh, then you don't have to look too far." When I told him, I tore the rag from the button on my shoulder. ""here. Anyway, I'm tired of this kind of thing. "
"What is this?" he asked in confusion.
"This is your cloak. After we met in the forest, I took it
Archibald looked at the rag I handed him in horror, and limped his arm to accept the gift. What's up with him? Anyway, this is just a stupid cloak, and it's not that he can't buy a new one in any old village or town.
"What did you do?!" He cried, crying at what was once a cloak. "You ruined it! This is a unique steal! I brought it from a prince who came here from a distant kingdom! This is the only thing like this in history!"
""So what? Go buy a different one. They are actually the same. What's the big deal?"
Archibald gave me an expression full of hatred and hostility. Really, so naive. It's just a piece of cloth.
"This is my first Grand Slam trophy!" Oh, it turned out to be like this, emotional value. "Do you know how much it is worth?!" Well, maybe not.
"No, I don't care either."
"Then you better kill me now!"
"Don't fuck me." I muttered to myself, trying to suppress my murderous intentions. "Hurry and get us in. The sooner we part ways, the better."
"Why bother." Archibald mumbled vaguely, and fell to the ground, head down. "We will die one day. No matter how much we struggle, we are just dead bugs in the network designed by Jīng Xin."
How important is the cloak to him!
"Listen, I will pay for the loss, so get us in quickly."
"It doesn't make sense. I don't think you can afford it either. We might as well lie here and wait for Pluto. Then we don't have to worry anymore. Yes, life without worries sounds attractive."
It sounds really attractive. Of course, what he said about life means that we don't have to worry about breathing problems.
"Oh, Archie, cheer up. Breaking into an unbreakable place will surprise you." Mary said in a calm and soothing voice. "everything will get better."
"Tell me how much this rag is worth, and I will pay for it."
Archibald looked at me with sad and suspicious eyes, and listed a number that made Mary's face pale. I mean, for a stupid piece of cloth, I think this is a big deal, but it is not unbearable.
"Well, I just need to go to one of my safe houses, and I will give you money, but only after we finish this."
Both Azibald and Mary were shocked by my inadvertent willingness to abandon the money. Are there really that many? This is just a small part of what I hide in this land.
"What?" Mary stammered. "How can you give so many things to others so easily?"
"Because there are not so many. I mean, I have more deposits."
"Master!" They all cried and bowed at my feet. "We didn't realize that we were in front of someone with a body like you!"
"What are you talking about?" Their behavior... is like my worst nightmare.
"Obviously, you are the owner of a wealthy family, right? You can spend so much money!"
"Almost nothing." I spit, and carefully walked away from their humility. "My family is dying of poverty. I earn money by doing all kinds of jobs, but I only spend what I need to get me to the next place." (to be continued) (end of this chapter)
