Volume 4 The League of Gentlemen Chapter 17 The Third Party

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In a small pine forest with sparse trees, a thin young man sat sideways under a thick pine tree.  His head was slightly tilted and pressed against the trunk of the tree, like a man who had been working hard for a long time and rested against the pine tree for a while.  However, his face facing everyone showed a bloodless paleness, purple lips and dull eyes, all indicating that the breath of life had left this young man.  "Carmen!" John choked and knelt in front of his companions. Compared to the handsome Allen, he had a better relationship with Carmen.  In fact, Carmen, who has an easy-going and humorous personality, has a good relationship with almost all of them and is the lubricant among the five of them.  It is precisely because of Carmen's existence that the grumpy John was able to get along with the somewhat arrogant Allen for such a long time without parting ways.  Looking at Carmen¡¯s body, Allen and others fell into silence for a long time.  Although the death of the mother and daughter and the elderly couple reminded them of their current situation all the time, it was only when death truly came to the heads of the five people that they felt the personal pain.  In addition to the sadness of the rabbit's death and the fox's death, an even stronger fear weighed them down and made them breathless.  Now it¡¯s Carmen, who will be next?  "Listen up, you monster, I will kill you, kill you like a chicken, you know, just wait for me!" John suddenly stood up and roared excitedly around the pine forest.  ¡°Bang, bang, bang!¡± He raised his hand and fired three aimless shots from the Colt Python.  "Crack!" A bullet from the Colt Python broke a pine branch above Natasha's head, and the pine branch about two meters long fell heavily.  "Huh?!" The moment the pine branch fell down, Qin Lun's right eye opened and closed, and the silver-white clock dial flashed away.  A rusty iron nail on a pine branch entered his field of vision.  The cap of this iron nail embedded in the branch has been broken by rust. The broken section is probably not much blunter than the tip of the nail. When it fell, it was aimed at Natasha's Tianling Cap.  It was probably left by a former ranger, perhaps to hold a banner, or for some other unknown purpose.  Anyway, after the work was over, he did not pull out the iron nail again.  Qin Lun's hamstrings jumped hard, but when he observed the fat man three meters behind Natasha, he suppressed his body's instinct and narrowed his eyes slightly.  "Be careful!" Natasha heard a loud shout behind her and felt her body rising into the air.  The next moment, a huge black shadow blocked the sky above and pressed heavily on her.  "Ah~" Natasha couldn't help but scream, feeling that all the bones in her body were being crushed.  The few biscuits and mineral water she had eaten in a hurry in the morning all rushed up from her stomach to her throat.  "What are you doing, you bastard? It's just a branch, a branch, you know?" John didn't realize he was causing trouble. He angrily grabbed the fat man's collar, lifted him up from the ground, and said sarcastically, "It  Not even one-tenth of your weight" Donald lowered his head and said nothing. No one could see the expression on his face clearly, and he just let John hold him.  "Natasha, are you okay!" While John was scolding Donald, Allen looked at Natasha's condition with concern.  However, the girl didn¡¯t seem to hear her boyfriend¡¯s greeting. She just stared blankly at the thick branch, and it seemed that she had discovered the rusty nails on it.  Natasha's face turned white in an instant, her lips trembled and she threw herself into Allen's arms, pointing to the iron nails on the branches.  "It's nothing, it's just a small nail, your luck won't be" Natasha's abnormal behavior quickly attracted the attention of others.  John also noticed the nails, and then his voice became smaller and smaller, his face slowly began to turn pale, and he unknowingly let go of Donald's collar.  He may have more muscles than brains, but he is not stupid either.  With that mysterious force keeping an eye on them, they obviously have no luck at all. It can even be said that the chance of being unlucky, which was originally only one in a billion, would directly become 100% when it comes to them.  If Fatty hadn¡¯t pushed Natasha away, another of their companions would have died in an extremely unexpected situation, and he would have killed her himself.  "II didn't mean to" John covered his head and slowly squatted down. For the first time in his life, he felt cold all over his body, and a chill shot straight from his tailbone to his brain.  He, who had always been as strong as an ox, had never felt like this before. Even when he saw Carmen's body just now, the first emotion that came out of his heart was just anger.  Allen was also staring at the nails on the branches in a daze. He suddenly discovered that Natasha was in danger.??I actually didn't have the precognitive hallucinations I had before Qin Lun silently scanned the expressions on everyone's faces, feeling as happy as taking drugs.  Their fear, confusion, regret, frustration all fell into his eyes, making him feel that the human heart is so novel and interesting.  At the same time, Qin Lun's mind was also running rapidly under the influence of adrenaline. The more frequently that mysterious power appeared, the deeper his understanding of it became.  "At least, Natasha's danger this time allowed him to get another piece of information Originally he thought that the mysterious power could not control intelligent creatures in any form, but now it seems that this idea is wrong.  The three shots John took just now were too coincidental. If they were not affected by the mysterious power, they would never have broken the branches.  At the same time, this kind of accident cannot be calculated in advance, so the big guy must have been affected just now.  This shows that the mysterious force can indirectly affect the behavior of intelligent creatures when their emotions are close to losing control.  As for why it was indirect, it was simple: John did not shoot Natasha directly.  "Alan, did you just" Suddenly, Qin Lun remembered something again and turned to ask Alan.  "I didn't have any precognitive hallucinations just now!" Before Qin Lun could finish speaking, Allen already knew what he wanted to ask, and replied with a livid face, making everyone feel their hearts sink again.  As expected, I think I know why that mysterious force attracts all its targets to Arcadia.  Qin Lun lowered his head slightly and showed a cold smile from an angle that no one could observe.  Every time that mysterious power appears, it is always accompanied by death, so for the time being, it will be regarded as a death game.  ¡° If the reincarnations and apostles had not intervened in this world, then for ordinary people, even those with extraordinary talents and precognitive hallucinations like Allen, I am afraid that it would be difficult to truly escape the game of death in the end.  (This chapter is not finished yet, please turn the page) However, the reincarnators and apostles have come after all, and there are quite a lot of them, which are beyond the control of Death Game.  The physical abilities of reincarnators and apostles far exceed those of ordinary people, allowing them to escape with their lives in many desperate situations.  If you don¡¯t want to really attract the attention of the world, the God of Death can¡¯t target these people again and again.  After all, no matter how coincidental the incident is, it will inevitably attract the attention of interested people if it occurs frequently.  Since the number of accidents and damage cannot be increased, the design can only be strengthened from a technical perspective to make the traps more sophisticated and difficult to detect.  But before doing this, someone on Allen's team must be marginalized first, and that is Allen himself. No matter how exquisite the design is, it can't stop the hallucination of precognition.  Before Natasha was in danger, Qin Lun didn't know what Death would do. Now he roughly guessed how Death would invalidate Allen's precognition ability. This was also the main purpose of Death leading them to Arcadia.  Qin Lun guessed that Allen's precognition only focused on certain laws of cause and effect that were distorted by Death, but could not see the normal laws of cause and effect. Otherwise, he would not only foresee the fragments of the process of Death's game, but should foresee all types of future scenes.  .  Since Allen can only foresee the twisted law of cause and effect of death, what will happen if the cause and effect of other mysterious forces is mixed into it?  This is what the God of Death does. The attack on Natasha just now may have been a test.  Facts have proved that He succeeded!  Carmen¡¯s death and John¡¯s anger have nothing to do with the Death Game, and as a result, they interfere with Alan¡¯s precognitive hallucination.  If it hadn't been for Donald's timely action, Natasha would have died just now.  "Everyone, cheer up. Isn't Natasha okay?" Just as Qin Lun was thinking about it, the fat man who was acting heroic just now suddenly clapped his hands and said with a forced smile, "Besides, we have other things to do, at least don't  Leave Carmen like this." John, who was squatting on the ground, stiffened, stood up slowly, took off his coat, and walked towards Carmen expressionlessly.  The fat man's words touched him, and no matter what, he didn't want to see his friend die like this.  "Boom!" However, just as John reached out to close Carmen's eyes, the corpse's head rolled off his neck. John was so frightened that he suddenly stood up and his eyes widened.  When Allen and others saw Carmen before, there was a hole as big as a bowl in his chest, and some of his ribs were shattered, and part of his internal organs was taken out. It looked like he had been torn out by some powerful monster.  It is consistent with the characteristics of the fjord monster.  Carmen, who was leaning against a tree trunk, vomited a lot of blood from her mouth, covering her entire upper body from her chin to her neck to her chest, leaving no one aware of the wound on her neck.  But nowAfter John pulled the body apart and his head fell off, everyone discovered that the real cause of his death was probably not the wound on his chest, but decapitation with a sharp axe.  "What happened to him? Did the fjord monster really kill him?" Everyone looked at the smooth and neat cross-section of Carmen's neck, and they were all confused for a moment.  "It's very interesting, it's getting more and more interesting!" The light in Qin Lun's eyes became more and more intense, and he almost suppressed it with all his strength before he could control himself from laughing excitedly, "Reincarnators and apostles obviously won't do such things.  , so that means there is a third mysterious power in Arcadia" (End of this chapter)
