"Uhhhhhhh!!"

The pitch-black sword cut through the flesh, and screams were heard.

[Scavenger] looked at the two-legged livestock that fell in front of him and gently wiped the blood from his cheek.

The dense forest returned to silence, but Ivar could sense that the energy storm coming from the center of the venue was about to sweep across.

He wanted to eliminate all contestants on the south side of the forest, whether they were the eldest daughter of Lansta Industries or the elusive venomous snake.

This is a feast prepared for her, only she can attend, and the rest, everything should be cleared away.

"Gluck cluck..."

Ivar used his pitch-black mechanical arm to wipe the blood off the scimitar. The black iron and the red factor energy rubbed against each other, creating sparks.

And in the fleeting moment of this spark, Ivar once again noticed——

“Clatter…”

It's the edge of the stream, and there are still three fish that have escaped the net in this area.

They're just kids, maybe let them...

“No one can get through.”

The light green eyes were stained with ink again, and the [Scavenger] lowered his body into the bushes, moving quickly in a manner that was almost crawling.

......

"Look, that's the Prism Signal!"

As Kemp and his companions got closer to the upper reaches of the stream, the sound of gunfire around them became more and more frequent, and the Misty Forest became more and more like a battlefield.

And just above this forest where the flames of war were becoming increasingly intense, Kemp finally saw the light signal that he had been longing for.

It was a ray of white light, appearing faintly under the dark clouds, and seemed somewhat out of place under the sky covered with red thunder.

The prism signal was not far upstream in the stream, and there was no smoke or anything nearby yet, so now was obviously a good opportunity.

"Xiao Xi, Yu, look!"

"I saw it! I saw it!" Jessica's tone was particularly excited, "Let's go!"

Kemp looked at Yu again and found that he had fallen silent again. The hood had fallen off, and Yu's eyes became blurry and helpless, as if he was lost.

He has almost reached his limit. The boy who spent his days shooting pigeons on the bell tower has seen his worldview completely collapse because he has caught a glimpse of the cruel corner of the real world.

As long as he leaves here, he will be fine, right?

"Let's go!" Kemp said, patting Yu on the back, "I'll buy you a better sniper rifle when we get out."

"It doesn't matter," Yu's voice was very low, "I just want to sleep..."

"I'll let you sleep well once you get out," Kemp said, trying to cheer up Yu, "Let's go."

After saying that, Kemp took the lead and headed towards the light prism signal.

"Rustle..."

However, before Kemp could take a few steps, he heard strange noises coming from the woods beside him.

It seemed as if something was moving through the woods at a very fast speed, disturbing the flock of birds and causing them to fly away from the branches.

"Rustling, rustling..."

"There's something!" Kemp said, quickly pulling out his pistol and protecting Jessica behind him, "That...that's..."

The three men drew their guns and pointed them at the woods by the stream at the same time, ready to meet the impending threat.

Was it another contestant? Impossible. Almost everyone was keeping silent in the Weird Mist Forest. It was impossible for someone to deliberately create such a big noise.

Unless that person doesn't care about others knowing his arrival.

That would mean...

Kemp's eyes widened suddenly, he suddenly realized something, and his gun-holding hand trembled slightly.

At the same time, the movement in the woods suddenly disappeared, and everything became as quiet as usual.

"What's going on..." Jessica whispered, "Could it be that he..."

"No, don't let your guard down!"

Kemp said loudly, his hand holding the gun shaking.

He knew why this guy approached his group without covering his tracks.

That's because he didn't think Kemp and his group could escape—

"Shhh-"

Before Kemp could prepare himself mentally, the gap in the woods was instantly torn apart, and the scattered leaves spread out with the mist.

Then, Kemp only had time to see a ghost eye behind the mist, dragging a long, pale green light.

"Bam—"

The slender demon leaned over and attacked, and Kemp's bullet didn't even touch him. Before Kemp could reload his ammunition, the demon was already in front of him, and its long black arm grabbed his right hand and twisted it fiercely -

"Kacha——"

"Uhhhhhhh!!"

The pistol fell to the ground, and Kemp screamed and covered his wrist - his wrist was pulled 180 degrees by the evil spirit, and the crisp sound of bone cracking accompanied by severe pain made him collapse to the ground instantly.

After easily making Kemp lose his ability to fight, the dark evil ghost turned around and faced Yu who was holding a sniper rifle in his hand.

"you you..."

Yu's hands were shaking. The muzzle of his gun was pointed at the evil ghost, but the hand on the trigger was reluctant to pull the trigger.

But when Yu met the evil ghost's dark green eyes, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

Calm down, he told himself, but every time his hand touched the trigger, he thought back to the last time he pulled it.

The broken wrist accompanied by splattered blood made him look dazed and confused.

"..."

Seeing that Yu didn't dare to shoot, the evil ghost with dark green eyes just walked towards him slowly, with no expression on his shadowed face.

He walked slowly in front of Yu and looked into her eyes.

......

7) In the Name of Original Sin (Part 4)

“Ah…Ah…”

Facing those eyes flashing with a miserable green light, Yu felt that his soul was almost flowing out of all his orifices - from the evil ghost's eyes, he seemed to see a figure standing on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Before he could do anything, Yu felt his legs go weak and he fell to the ground. His sniper rifle fell to the side and was picked up by the evil ghost with his slender mechanical hand.

"Don't kill me...Don't kill me..."

Yu held his head and cried miserably. He murmured meaninglessly, begging for mercy from the evil spirit in front of him.

"..."

The cold green eyes looked down at the boy who was crying and holding his head. He looked at him for a while, then picked up Yu's sniper rifle with his dark mechanical hand and put the barrel against Yu's forehead.

Yu raised her head and saw only the evil ghost with its back to the light and the dark clouds in the sky.

I shouldn't be here. I want to go home, I want to go home.

Dad, Mom, where are you? Why don't you come back? Why did you wait so long?

Like a revolving lantern, many fragments flashed before Yu's eyes. Those fragments locked him on the bell tower, and then turned into his angry bullets, shooting at the white doves in the sky.

He recalled the old man who called himself a gunsmith who lifted him up from the mud and took him back to the shabby little shop. He also remembered the gunsmith who gave him his first gun and asked him to protect himself in Shouma Lane.

So, he went to shoot pigeons every day, imagining that those pigeons were the bad guys who took away his parents.

Every day, he shot pigeons on the bell tower. When he got tired, he looked in the direction of the Lavis border mine, hoping that his father and mother would come back before night fell.

He had waited for a long time, and now, the gun that the gunsmith handed to him personally was against his forehead.

“Ah…Ah…”

Tears flowed down her cheeks, and Yu knew that this time she could not disguise herself with the mask of arrogance and cynicism.

"Dad..Mom..."

The evil ghost's green eyes were cold, and the pitch-black mechanical arm remained motionless even when holding a sniper rifle, extremely stable.

He watched the boy cry for a while, then his bony index finger gently pressed on the trigger, ready to pull the trigger -

"Boom--boom--"

The bullet came from not far away, hit the red factor shield and bounced off.

The evil ghost turned around and found that it was a young girl. She was holding a small pistol, sweating all over her head, and her legs were shaking slightly.

"Don't...don't hurt Yu," Jessica said breathlessly, moving towards the evil ghost, "Stay away from him...stay away from him...stay away from him..."

The girl advanced towards the evil ghost, firing her gun. Bullets hit the red factor shield one by one, but only caused a few ripples, not causing any damage to the evil ghost.

But she still moved forward without hesitation. Her wrists trembled slightly and her steps staggered, but she had no intention of retreating.

"Stay away from him...!"

The dark green eyes stared at the girl, cold and ruthless, as if he was calculating something.

The evil ghost watched the girl repeatedly pull the trigger, but his body did not move, like a standing sculpture.

"Bam—"

"Bang bang——"

"Bam—"

Behind Jessica, Kemp was lying on the ground helplessly. He stretched out his intact left hand towards Jessica and said in a trembling voice:

"Xiao Xi...don't..."

Jessica ignored Kemp and moved forward desperately, her eyes full of determination.

But this determination did not last long. When Jessica walked not far from the evil ghost, her knees weakened and she fell to the ground without any warning.

“Ahaha…ah…”

The evil ghost lowered his head and looked at the girl who had fallen to the ground. Her cheeks were flushed and her forehead was covered with sweat. The corners of her eyes were dark and her pupils were slightly rolled up.

Then, the evil ghost saw the girl's wrist - the bandage on it was cut by a sharp stone when the girl fell to the ground, and under the bandage, the evil ghost saw densely packed blue crystals.

The girl's wrist was cut by the stone, and blood flowed out of the wound drop by drop, but it only condensed in the gaps between the crystals and was absorbed.

"..."

The dark green in the demon's eyes gradually faded, and he looked down at the unconscious girl lying on the ground with a slight smile on his face.

It's acute carpal tunnel syndrome. It seems that he was infected after entering the competition, and the onset is very fast.

She is going to die.

In silence, Ivar took the sniper rifle that once belonged to Yu and put it on his back.

Then he pulled the dog tag off Yu's collar, then tore off the dog tag on Jessica's chest and stuffed them inside his coat.

After doing all this, the light green eyes looked at Jessica for a while, then Ivar turned around and walked towards the forest.

"Boring..."

In an instant, the slender figure was swallowed up by the woods, leaving only three people lying on the ground, trembling beside the rushing stream.

......

Above the treetops in the jungle, Carly was trying her best to keep herself steady as she controlled the little birds to patrol the woods.

Pace was right beside her, guarding her and ready to take her away at any time.

"[Little Brids], conduct area search."

Under Carly's control, dots of blue light formed a network in the mist of the Weird Forest, searching for all nearby contestants.

Soon, she discovered that there was a very violent riot in the woods to the southeast.
