Chapter Forty-Eight: Steady Player Annan
It is neither realistic nor safe to go out with a kitchen knife and cut Amos.
Annan didn't like such radical measures.
Although he has now lost his normal feelings, Annan believes that he should be a steady and developmental person.
The so-called steadiness is not to risk crossing the tower to kill people.
Because if you cross the tower, you will have the possibility of being counter-killed.
The correct way to do this is to kill the opponent before they enter the tower.
As you can imagine, this is very reasonable and steady.
Adhering to this philosophy, Annan did not carry the kitchen knife directly in his hand.
He specially picked out a heavier coat and put a layer of sweater on it. It's going to be a little hot, but it's all tolerable. Because of this kind of clothing, Annan can hang a few kitchen knives on the back of his coat, the front of his chest and the armpits.
Thread the kitchen knife through the sweater, then the blade through the outer garment and secure the outer garment to the body. It's like a toothpick that holds a bacon roll in place. These are all positions that Annan can get at any time.
Unfortunately, this can only handle a few smaller kitchen knives.
And the largest kitchen knife, the one that was thrown out by Annan very easily, can't be dealt with so simply.
Annan hid it in Elle's piano room, near the door.
Yes, Elle has her own piano room with ...... A piano.
Although Annan didn't know who invented the piano in this world and when it appeared, he knew very well that the price of this thing was definitely not cheap.
This is probably the reason why Elle mentioned in her diary that she "wanted to go to a concert".
It's a pity that Annan doesn't know how to play the piano. But fortunately, Amos will not have the eyesight to see the extent of licking his face and coming over to "serenade his father", so he will not be exposed for a while.
Annan's instincts told him that the piano might have something to do with a difficult or low-difficulty copy.
The death flags of the third layer are still relatively few at present. As long as the player doesn't run around and doesn't care about the mess, there is basically just enough time to read those three books in the study.
And if Annan hadn't been cautious and went into the study with a kitchen knife, by the time Amos came home and the portrait screamed, Annan would definitely have been unconscious inside, and then found by Amos...... Or it is possible to be directly howled to death.
After all, when he threw out the flying knife at that time, Annan clearly saw that the light and shadow effects in the study had changed slightly. That is, he reacts quickly, otherwise he may really brush out a few more monsters.
After all, "the guardian spirit can move freely in this painter, in all the paintings painted with this pigment".
In a sense, the first half of this dungeon is actually a time-limited investigation and hiding mechanism similar to "escape". Highlight one hesitation and defeat, as well as don't waste time.
So what's the second half of it?
Cake poisonous? Eating it will fall into hallucinations?
Or will you fall into a coma after eating the cake that Amos bought and drinking the black tea he brewed?
Whatever the mechanism, Annan has no possibility to explore it with his own body.
He decided......
"Amos, come and see!"
Annan slammed the door of the piano room hard, and then let out a somewhat panicked scream: "It's ...... Something is wrong with it, it looks like someone has touched it! β
He didn't say the piano directly, because he didn't know what the name of the instrument was in this world, and he was worried that he would call it wrong.
Annan was very cautious.
Another reason is ......
He knew that if he said so, then Amos would not be able to remain calm.
In his study, there are unsightly secrets. Whether it's a thief or an undead who moves the piano...... He couldn't even call the police.
"What?!"
Armuston was shocked.
His first instinct was to go to the study. But under the repeated urging of Annan, who was slightly crying, he still hurried over.
But Annan was quick to rejoice that he had called Amos over and didn't go to Elle's father with the kitchen knife he had temporarily named Frost Sorrow -
Because Annan clearly saw that Amos took out a revolver from behind his waist. And it doesn't seem to be an ordinary gun...... On the body of its gun was a line of silver text that Annan couldn't read. And its caliber is frighteningly large.
At least Annan was sure that for Elle, who was also an ordinary person, the gun was lethal enough.
ββ¦β¦ Someone in there? β
Amos asked in a low voice.
"I don't see it," Annan's equally low voice was full of fear, "but I see ...... The curtain just moved, as if it was someone! β
Amos looked at the door of the piano room that was tightly closed and tightly held by Annan, and quickly pulled Annan behind him, raised the muzzle of the gun with his right hand, and slightly rested his index finger on the trigger: "You stand behind me, Elle...... No, stay away. β
"Be careful, Amos."
Annan whispered in response, his left hand on Amos's back trembling slightly, fully revealing the fear and helplessness of its owner.
Amos, on the other hand, hunched over and slammed the door open.
He squinted slightly, his left hand clutching the door, and he took aim in the room for a while. But rightfully so, did not see the others.
And he leaned in slowly, and first looked behind the doorβthere was no one.
So Amos raised his voice: "Come out, friend!
"βI see you!"
As he said this, Amos slowly approached the heavy curtain at the end of the room with his gun raised, "Elle, you hide behind the door!" β
"Okay......
There was still a little fear in Annan's voice, and there was a slight trembling. But it is clear that the arrival of her father has cheered up "Elle......
At the same time, Annan's brisk right hand took out a kitchen knife from his bosom. Her left hand slowly took it out from where she had hidden it.
Then Annan aimed for a while, and quickly threw two kitchen knives at Mr. Amos one after another!
The large kitchen knife was heavier and slashed at Amos's right shoulder. He couldn't help screaming, and in pain, the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
The smaller kitchen knife was meant to be driven into the back of Amos's head. But he moved because of the pain, and the sharp kitchen knife only sliced into Mr. Amos's left neck. A deep, bleeding cut was made.
At this time, Annan had already pulled out the remaining two kitchen knives from his arms, one left and one right, and pounced without hesitation.
He slashed Amos in the neck with one knife, and with the other knife slashed Amos' right hand, stabbing him in the eye with a backhand.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what...... Annan's knife pierced Amos in the left eye.
It's exactly where that scorch mark on Elle's portrait is!
Annan threw Amos down, rode on him, slit his throat, and nailed him into his eyes, ears, and temples. But Amos was still struggling, as if he was not going to die, and bright red paint oozed from him, oozing out...... Lots of oozing.
Dripping on the ground, leaching a bright red. Then came a gush, like a collapsing, and a bright red liquid gushed out of the cracks in the screaming Amos, flooding the room in the blink of an eye.
Annan felt as if he was immersed in the sea, and there was a strong feeling of suffocation. It's as if the whole world is left with nothing but this bubbling sea of red......
He struggled in the red sea, gradually losing consciousness.
When Annan woke up again, he was still floating in a sea of blood. But he no longer felt the strong feeling of suffocation, but breathed normally, and a large number of system prompts crossed in front of him.
It was only then that Annan realized ......
It seems to be ...... Cleared?
