Chapter 46: Another semi-artifact? When fear arrives!

Another semi-artifact? When fear arrives!

Yun Ni nodded, extended her finger, and pointed to the spot Cheng Shi indicated.

Then...

With a "swish," before anyone could react, she had already straightened up.

And on Wei Guan's body, nothing happened.

"?"

It's over?

Did it stab in?

Is it a bit too fast?

Several players were shocked by Yun Ni's speed; they were still confirming whether Yun Ni had actually entered, after all, Wei Guan's corpse had no reaction at all.

Only Cheng Shi smiled, guessing what Yun Ni had done.

In an extremely short time, she had turned her finger into a thin line and stabbed it into Wei Guan's heart.

This ability of the assassin lady to make her body two-dimensional was stronger than he had thought.

Looking at it this way, the dagger might just be her disguise.

When it really comes to killing, no weapon is more convenient than having your whole body be a weapon.

But the corpse had no reaction, which was a bit abnormal.

A dead person's heart stops beating, so there won't be blood spraying, but not spraying doesn't mean no bleeding. When an external force breaks the organ wall, there must be dark red blood overflowing.

Fang Jue seemed to have discovered this problem too; he said uncertainly:

"Is there a problem with the heart?"

Smart!

Cheng Shi nodded, took out a scalpel from his portable space, and skillfully began the dissection work.

Wei Guan's chest cavity was dismantled by a pair of nimble hands flying up and down within seconds.

Everyone gathered around to look and discovered that his chest cavity was full of flesh and blood, but it was missing one thing.

"The heart... disappeared???"

Du Xiguang looked at the place where the corpse's heart had disappeared in astonishment, his brows furrowed, as if he had some ideas in his mind.

And Cheng Shi nodded and explained:

"Through skin touch, one can perceive the direction and pressure gradient of the internal muscle fascia of the human body. When I was groping on his chest, I discovered that the pressure at Wei Guan's heart was far less than that of an average dead person.

Now you see it too; his heart was stolen."

"Stolen? This doesn't look like stealing. To make a person's body part disappear directly, doesn't it look like a method of 【Annihilation】?"

As soon as Fang Jue's voice fell, everyone looked at Yun Ni.

Yun Ni was startled first, and then shrugged indifferently.

The attitude was very clear: it had nothing to do with her.

Everyone naturally knew it wasn't her doing; they were just asking her if 【Annihilation】 had similar methods.

Even Cheng Shi was silently guessing if he had missed an 【Annihilation】 murderer.

But just at this moment, while Yun Ni was also furrowing her brows in thought, Du Xiguang suddenly stood up and drew a circle in front of himself somewhat seriously.

Golden radiance formed a ring; looking through the ring, the opposite side was no longer the current street scene, but a... library!

This ring seemed to have opened up time and space, making one side the present and the other side the past.

Visually, it was quite shocking.

"Borrowing the Book of That Time.

Let me flip through it; I remember there seems to be a divine object that is very similar to this."

Du Xiguang reached his hand through the ring and searched rapidly on the bookshelf; before long, he found a book and pulled the shadow of this book into reality.

The paper, like light and shadow, flipped rapidly under his fingertips; after a few breaths, there was a result.

"Found it!

I said this way of dying was so familiar: terrified expression, heart disappeared.

【When Fear Arrives】, SSS-level divine dagger, from the Garuda Kingdom in the underworld, is a semi-artifact stained with dual divinity of 【Filth and Depravity】 and 【Death】.

This dagger doesn't need to stab into the body; it only needs to select a target and wait. When this unlucky guy feels fear, his heart will be stripped and offered to 【Death】.

Dying without a sound.

You said it well; this is indeed very similar to a curse, but it is harder to guard against."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's complexion turned gloomy.

A semi-artifact!

Another semi-artifact.

In front of a dagger of this level, 2400 and 1400 have no difference; they are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"You actually didn't think of such a similar way of dying? And you call yourself His follower."

Yun Ni looked at Du Xiguang with disdain, as if doubting whether he was a follower of 【Memory】.

Du Xiguang's expression didn't change; he pushed up his glasses and said:

"Precisely because I am His follower, I don't need memory."

Saying this, he threw the book of memory formed by light and shadow back into the open memory, and then the golden ring instantly dissipated in the air.

Cheng Shi heard this and looked at him with a meaningful expression.

Du Xiguang lied.

He didn't not need memory.

Perhaps, he had already lost the right to enjoy his own memory.

It is said that His followers will use their own memories to exchange for some extra power from Him.

I wonder what talent Du Xiguang exchanged his memory ability for?

Fang Jue is someone who does serious work; he didn't participate in the small talk and stated his inference with a dark face.

"The murderer is in the inn."

Correct! The murderer is in the inn.

This dagger is very eerie, but it still has a prerequisite, which is that it needs to select a lucky guy in advance.

With Wei Guan's skills, or rather, with his alertness as a hunter, it shouldn't be that he couldn't discover people in the night, nor that he couldn't discover people secretly following him after going out.

So there is only one possibility: before leaving the inn, he was already marked!

The good news is that the two's provocation did work.

The bad news is that it was overdone, and an actor died.

But having a direction is better than searching like a headless fly; at least the murderer can be locked within the inn.

"There is one more question..."

Cheng Shi furrowed his brows and added:

"Have you ever thought about what kind of thing could make a person like Wei Guan feel fear?"

Undoubtedly, when the murder weapon was discovered, the method of killing was already determined.

The murderer only needs to hide in the dark and mark the target; as for the rest...

Leave it to the deceased themselves.

The so-called "wind blowing and cranes calling, cups and bow shadows" are all like this.

Once the fear of death quietly spreads in a certain area, the lone traveler in the night will become suspicious.

At this time, the murderer doesn't need to do anything extra; a sound on the quiet street, a gust of wind under the clouds covering the moon, could all become the last straw that breaks the camel's back and takes the victim's life.

But Wei Guan is different.

He is a follower of 【Foolishness】, the mortal enemy of all ignorance!

Such small tricks are probably not worth mentioning in his eyes.

When a person gets closer to the truth, the more they will strip away human emotions.

Will he really feel fear?

The answer is yes.

Because his death is the best proof.

But the question is, what is the fear that killed the follower of 【Foolishness】?

Does everyone have the confidence not to feel fear in front of this kind of fear?

Cheng Shi had no bottom in his heart.

Not just him, everyone had no bottom.

Of course, now there is a more urgent question in front of everyone than this one.

That is:

Whether to return to the inn tonight. ===== CHAPTER 47 =====
