Yes, a gun.
The shape of the gun body is different from what it looks like in ordinary police and gangster movies. Instead, it looks a bit like the cowboy guns in old-fashioned western movies. The iron-colored gun body is rough and crude in workmanship, but it still reveals a sense of oppression unique to guns, originating from death.
Benjamin had never even seen a real gun, let alone been pointed at one.
Before that, his only connection with guns was the toy pistol his parents bought him that he had played with in elementary school. It made a "piupiupiu" sound when he pulled the trigger, which was useless. During military training in college, I was told that I could shoot a gun, but in the end I stopped doing this activity for some unknown reason.
After traveling to this world, he already thought that he had nothing to do with guns in this life, and the system did not mention the word gun when introducing the background. He thought that under the influence of divine arts and magic, the technology tree of this world did not light up this skill.
However, at this moment, an emotionally out-of-control minor held a gun and pointed it at his head.
Has he been tricked by the system again
Benjamin never imagined that a so-called war game would eventually evolve into such a situation. He also did not expect that less than ten days after escaping from Michelle, he would once again be faced with strong death threats.
Moreover, it was for such a ridiculous reason.
"Don't get excited, we won't get close to you. Put the gun away, we have no intention of doing anything to you." Benjamin stopped and spread his hands to show that he meant no harm.
What else could he do? If he had Grant's skills, he would have rushed forward, like a master in a crime movie, and grabbed the gun before Dick could react. It's a pity that he didn't, but what about Grant
Grant looked surprised and at a loss, and stopped.
Still too tender...
Therefore, in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, and out of some fear of facing a firearm for the first time, Benjamin chose to show weakness and made the above series of actions towards Dick, trying to appease Dick and prevent him from making impulsive actions. Something that can be redeemed.
"You liar! I, I won't believe you!" Dick had no intention of moving the gun away.
"You don't have to believe me, but you have to think about yourself." Benjamin was not discouraged. He seemed to have turned into a negotiator, stabilizing the criminal's emotions at the scene of the incident. "Are you really going to shoot? ? Think carefully about the consequences of firing this shot. Will the church turn a blind eye? What about your future in the aristocratic circle? And your family, what should he do? You will destroy the entire Foer family. .”
While he was persuading Dick, he couldn't help but take a break, thinking that watching more TV series would actually be beneficial. In case of emergencies, imitating the people on TV seems to be quite decent.
However, the half-baked negotiation skills he learned from TVB didn't seem to work very well.
"No, no, as long as you just let me smash it, nothing will happen! You are not allowed to hide! If you dare to hide, I will... I will shoot!" As he said that, Dick held up the chamber pot. That hand actually became ready to move again.
Oh shit…
How deep is this obsession
At this moment, Benjamin had no sympathy for Dick at all. He felt that Dick was a lunatic who could think of nothing but hitting people with chamber pots.
How to deal with a psychopath
Just when they were in a stalemate and the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Benjamin suddenly felt a strong wave of magic power. This wave was around them, and it was so strong that even Dick, an ordinary person, noticed it.
Therefore, even in such a situation, they could not help but look at the source of the fluctuation.
I saw a ball of holy light slowly gathering in Grant's hand.
"Grant! Do you dare to break the rules of the church?" Upon seeing this, Dick immediately shouted, "If you dare to use magic, you will be locked up by the Tribunal for the rest of your life!"
Grant was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to have thought of something, with a hesitant look on his face.
Dick was overjoyed. He seemed to have enlightened himself, and continued: "What are you doing for him? He is a waste! There is no need for you to help him build your own future. Besides, besides, I don't really want to kill him. , I just want to return the humiliation he did to me to him intact! This matter has nothing to do with you at all!"
The power of hatred is far stronger than imagined, and it is enough to drive an emotionally out-of-control teenager to say such clear-thinking words.
Grant was obviously convinced that the so-called blood ties could not withstand the harsh reality. It seemed that he also began to think that letting Benjamin get smashed was not a big deal. After all, he is just a teenager and not strong-willed.
After repeated hesitation, he finally lowered his head gradually, and the dazzling holy light in his hand began to dissipate.
He flinched.
Yes, if you are in the face of death, being hit by a chamber pot does not seem to be a big deal.
However…
at this time!
Benjamin, who had been showing weakness, suddenly ran towards Dick. Taking advantage of him, he flew up and kicked Dick's hand holding the chamber pot. The chamber pot was not light, and Dick could not hold it firmly. As a result, the chamber pot was kicked away, hit the wall behind them, and scattered all over the floor.
After the flying kick, Benjamin also lost his center of gravity and was about to fall down. However, he used the inertia of his body to rush towards Dick very decisively, grabbing Dick's gun hand with both hands.
"Give me the gun!" he yelled viciously.
Benjamin doesn't want to become a shithead, nor does he want to be shot in the head.
So, he chose to take a gamble!
Only then did Dick react and wanted to dodge. In panic, the two fell to the ground together, and he and Benjamin struggled together. Benjamin desperately tried to grab Dick's gun, and Dick fought back half-angry and half-instinct. It's a pity that Benjamin's physical fitness is not very good. Although he seized the opportunity, he failed to succeed for a while.
The two were in a stalemate, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
"Don't... I..." Grant had already dispersed the magic in his hand. Looking at the two people fighting together, he wanted to stop it, but he didn't know how to start. He was hesitant to even approach, so he could only let it go. The two continue to fight.
Suddenly a gunshot rang out.
boom!
The two men's fighting movements stopped at the same time.
Benjamin's face suddenly showed a look of pain. He pushed Dick away and stood up unsteadily, then fell down again, holding his stomach.
Dick also stood up with a look of horror on his face, watching Benjamin rolling around on the ground with a pained expression. He was stunned, and suddenly threw away the gun in his hand like a red-hot iron, and looked at Grant at a loss.
"I, I didn't intend to shoot... No, it was him who wanted to pounce. I, I..."
Grant was also frightened by the sudden change. He looked at Benjamin rolling on the ground in pain and didn't know what to do.
Not long after, other "corpses" in the castle were also attracted by the gunshot. They looked at the ridiculous and horrifying scene here, and they couldn't help but be frightened into confusion.
Only a few aristocratic children who had some ideas shouted: "Go find the patrol!" They ran out of the castle to find others for help. Dick saw these people and showed his intention to stop them, but after hesitation, he did nothing in the end.
He looked at Benjamin on the ground, and then at the gun thrown away by him, showing an expression of despair and regret.
The church's patrol team quickly arrived at the scene. They took off their helmets and frowned as they looked at everything here.
"What happened?" the leading knight asked.
"I, I really didn't mean it, it was all him... He wanted to pounce on himself, and I couldn't help it..." Dick hurriedly threw himself at the patrol's feet, explaining in a panic.
The leading knight frowned and said, "Don't speak for now. Master Grant, can you explain what happened?"
Dick was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Grant behind him, and suddenly there was more despair in his eyes. He stood up, took a few steps back, and then fell to the ground again, as if his soul had been drained out, as if his whole life had turned into darkness.
Grant also began to stumble to explain, and everything he described was naturally on Benjamin's side and passed all the responsibility to Dick. Dick, who was too desperate, forgot to use Grant's intention to use magic to stop Grant.
"Master Grant, please rest assured, we will take care of this matter." After listening to Grant's words, the leading knight said.
"Benjamin... will he die?" Grant hesitated again and asked.
There was guilt in his expression. In the eyes of the knights, he felt powerless that he could not stop this. Only the three people who were actually present knew that he felt guilty because he was timid for a moment and chose to stand by and watch.
Perhaps in the adult world, this is nothing. It can even be said to be rational and correct. But for a simple and passionate young man, this is a betrayal.
Grant betrayed his own convictions.
"Don't worry, we will cure him." The leading knight smiled at Grant and replied.
"May God bless you." Grant said after a moment of silence.
He looked relieved.
In this way, the whole matter quickly settled. After listening to Grant's account, the patrol took away Benjamin, Dick, and the gun in the distance.
No one knew what Dick would face.
However, at this moment, as the protagonist of the entire incident, Benjamin was in so much pain that he was about to lose consciousness. He had already forgotten everything in front of him. What dick, what shooting, what patrol...
There was only one name left in his mind:
Michelle.
Fuck Michelle!
If Dick and Grant were careful enough, they would discover that Benjamin was not actually shot. Although he was holding his stomach, there was no trace of blood seeping out. Benjamin didn't look like he had been shot. Instead, he looked more like he was having a sudden illness or was possessed by an evil spirit.
In a sense, Benjamin was indeed possessed.
The curse that Michelle had planted on him finally had its first onset.
