Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Now that Banning asked her this question, she couldn't answer it for a moment.

If she had to say what she wanted...it was...

"Don't force yourself if you can't think of it right now. I just asked you because it just occurred to me."

"Uh-huh……"

Wei'er looked at Banning. This friendly boy always had a unique temperament, which was why Banning always attracted Wei'er's attention.

"Banning, you're amazing... I don't think you're our age... or like someone who grew up in a village... The world you see must be different from the world we see."

Banning didn't answer, he knew Wei'er hadn't finished speaking.

"Hey, Banning..."

"If possible, could you show me the world you see? I also want to see the scenery you see."

"No matter where I go from now on?" Banning asked.

"Well, wherever."

Wei'er nodded very seriously, not realizing the trap set by Banning.

To Banning, Wei'er's words were tantamount to a confession.

However, Wei'er herself is quite natural, and she seemed unaware of the underlying meaning of her words until...

"Weier, are you...confessing to me?"

"Eh?"

Wei'er was stunned.

——(Confession? Confession of what?)

——(I…I didn’t confess?)

——(Eh? Wait? What…what did I just say?)

Wei Er suddenly recalled what she had just said, and then her chubby little face began to heat up...

Pink, reddish, crimson...steam was rising from the top of Wei'er's head with a "woo-woo-woo" sound.

If you put a pot of water on Wei'er's head at this time, you will definitely see the spectacle of the girl boiling the water on her head.

Banning did not seize the opportunity to boil water because he saw a line of text in his field of vision.

——『Confirmed receipt of confession from "Weier", energy point +1, current energy point: 1』

Without any hesitation, Banning immediately used the "Predictive Death Scene" ability of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye, and then, what came into his eyes was the scene of his heart being pierced.

2.32 - Death and Chance

━━━━━━━━━━

[Prison Star Calendar]

October 187, 5

〖8:48 pm〗

〖Confession: 30 days left in the death countdown〗

━━━━━━━━━━

It's always hard to see yourself being killed.

Especially if you know that it actually happened in the future.

Jiang Ran took a look at Wei'er's condition. She was still in the state of overheating and had a cute smoke coming out of her little head. So Jiang Ran first confirmed the content of his "death screen".

In the picture, Jiang Ran was on the street of an unknown town, surrounded by passers-by with terrified expressions.

A man wearing dark leather armor and a black cloak with red emblems, holding a long sword in one hand, stabbed Jiang Ran from behind and then came out from the left side of his chest. Blood splattered everywhere. There was no doubt that the sword had pierced Jiang Ran's heart, so this scene was frozen as the moment of Jiang Ran's death.

Because the man was facing away from the camera, Jiang Ran couldn't see his face, but his attire clearly showed that he wasn't someone Jiang Ran knew. To dare to kill someone in public, he had to be either a powerful figure, a killer, or a lunatic. But Jiang Ran was certain of one thing: he was far more powerful than he was, which was why he turned and ran. Unfortunately, he was ultimately killed by a stab in the back.

After seeing the general situation of the death scene, Jiang Ran began to confirm the details. He found that the cloaked man was holding a box in his hand, which was engraved with the emblem of a blazing totem and a flaming horse. This box was exactly the same as the one Jiang Ran had found from the body of Wolf, the leader of the Red Cloud Mountain Bandits.

Jiang Ran didn't think there would be such a coincidence in the world, so he temporarily assumed that the man had stolen his treasure box.

In addition, the emblem on the man's cloak is the same as that on the box, which is a blazing totem and a flaming horse. From this, it can be inferred that the cloaked man and the treasure box are from the same family, or the same sect or other organization.

From this perspective, the man's motive for killing Jiang Ran was most likely to take back the gem "Pigeon Blood Red Stone·Filia" in the box, but Jiang Ran did not think that he would sacrifice his life to keep the box, so the other party may have killed Jiang Ran even after he had voluntarily handed over the box. His temperament was quite cruel.

After reading this, Jiang Ran finally confirmed the time of his death:

〖187年5月15日 - 下午1点14分〗

This date was about 4 days away from now. Jiang Ran calculated based on this date, which meant that he was killed as soon as he arrived in the town, without even a chance of escape.

If it weren't for the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye, Jiang Ran wouldn't know how many times he would have died. This world of "impossible" difficulty truly lived up to its name.

Now that Jiang Ran has preliminarily analyzed the information in the death screen, he has temporarily come to three conclusions.

1. Confirm the name of the town on the death screen and do not go to this town next;

2. Hide the box containing the "Pigeon Blood Red Stone - Feilia" somewhere and never carry it with you.

3. Find out the origins of the "Blazing Totem and Flaming Steed" emblems;

When Wei'er regained consciousness from her overheated state, she found that she was the only one left at the table.

Just when she thought Banning had left and was feeling lost, she heard the crisp sound of dishes colliding behind her.

Wei'er looked back and saw that it was Banning washing dishes in the kitchen.

"Eh……?"

"what……"

"Uh……"

Faced with this scene, Wei'er was speechless and didn't know what to say, or maybe she had too much to say and didn't know where to start - Banning would do housework in his own kitchen, and Wei'er couldn't even dream of such a thing.

"Wake up, Wei'er. You've been in a daze for a long time. You didn't even respond when I spoke to you."

When Banning saw Wei'er stand up, he greeted her with a smile.

"Hmm... Hmm... I don't know what happened... My mind just went blank all of a sudden..."

Wei'er tried to recall the last words she said to Banning, but she couldn't remember them clearly. Instead, she remembered the promise that Banning would wash the dishes for her, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Maybe you're tired. After all, you've been helping with the preparations for the Rain Festival recently. You should get a good rest tonight."

"Uh-huh...thank you Banning."

Ver looked at Banning, and then something suddenly occurred to her.

"I seem to remember that we were talking about traveling at the last moment?" Wei'er tried to confirm with Banning.

"Yeah, I plan to go see the world in the surrounding towns soon," Banning replied calmly while washing dishes.

(Benni: Scumbag! Jiang Yan, you are such a scumbag! How can you pretend that your confession of love has never happened?!)

"Well... I also feel that you, Banning, are not someone who will stay in the village forever..."

Wei'er's expression was a little depressed. She looked at Banning, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

This time, Banning did not help her to express her feelings, but just watched her hide her feelings deep in her heart, waiting to say it out one day in the future when she had enough courage.

The feeling of this confession made Wei'er vaguely feel that she seemed to have forgotten something important, but she just couldn't remember it. After trying several times without success, she simply gave up thinking about it.

Now watching Banning wash the dishes, Wei'er remembered that her parents used to clean up together after dinner.

Memories of the past overlapped with the scene before her eyes, and Wei'er felt both warm and nostalgic.

While cleaning up, Banning chatted with Wei'er. During the conversation, Banning casually asked a question.

"By the way, Wei'er, have you ever heard of the name 'Lina'?"

"Lina? ...I haven't heard of her. There shouldn't be such a person in our village."

Jiang Ran hadn't asked this question casually; this name was likely directly related to "Ghost Ai'er." Wei'er hadn't lied in her response, and there hadn't been any suspicious activity in her mind, which confirmed to Jiang Ran that she didn't know the name Lina.

So, does Wei'er know about the "Ghost Ai'er"?

If Jiang Ran had asked at this time, "Weier, do you know that your sister has become a 'ghost'?", he would probably have been able to obtain key information immediately, but Jiang Ran hesitated again and again and did not ask Weier this cruel question.

Even though he had already obtained the confession points, he couldn't ask.

·

The cleaning and washing of dishes was coming to an end when someone knocked on the door looking for Wei'er, saying that the village chief wanted to see her for something. It seemed that there were some leftover fruits used to make jam and they needed to be transported back to the orchard for processing.

"It's okay, Wei'er, leave this to me. You go first. When I'm done, I'll go find you at the village chief's place."

"Well... okay, I'm sorry to bother you, Benning... I'll treat you to dinner next time!"

Wei'er's departure was a surprise to Jiang Ran, but it was also an opportunity.

Originally, Jiang Ran planned to find another opportunity to sneak into Wei'er's house again to look for the key, but now that the opportunity has come, there is no reason to miss it.

Jiang Ran immediately put down the plate in his hand and began to look for the key in the house with big strides.

With his previous experience, Jiang Ran quickly eliminated most areas, finally zeroing in on two identical leather dolls. These dolls were placed in Wei'er and Ai'er's rooms, respectively. Jiang Ran squeezed and shook them, discovering that both contained metal. After feeling around, he found a hidden crack and reached in, pulling out two different keys!

Although I don't know why there are two keys, one of them must be able to open the locked room.

Jiang Ran quickly walked to the door of the room and tried to insert the key. The first key did not fit into the keyhole, but the second key was successfully inserted.

(The answer is in this room...)

Jiang Ran took a deep breath and turned the key. With a "click", the door lock popped open. Then, the wooden door slowly opened with a sharp "creak-ah" sound.

2.33 - The Locked Room (Update)

After Jiang Ran opened the door, he immediately turned sideways and hid on the wall outside the door.

He held the willow-leaf dagger in his hand, holding his breath, afraid of missing any movement in the room.

Before tonight, the worst-case scenario Jiang Ran had considered regarding the locked room was: "The moment the door opens, 'Ghost Ai'er' will rush out of the room and kill him instantly."

However, after using the ability of "predicting death scenes" just now, Jiang Ran confirmed that he would not die here tonight, which gave him more confidence to open this door to the unknown.

However, Jiang Ran did not let his guard down just because he knew he would die in five days. He was well aware that the "future" would not remain unchanged. If he changed his usual style of action after learning about the "future of death", it would be possible that the development of the situation would deviate from the "future of death", leading to a new way of death.

To put it in an extreme way, if Jiang Ran stabbed his aorta with a dagger right now, he would bleed to death very quickly. The "future death scene" was not his escape from death.

Therefore, Jiang Ran still followed his own style and waited cautiously for the "person" in the room to make the first movement...if there really was a "person" in the room.

·

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

The once locked room was silent. The only sounds that accompanied Jiang Ran were the rustling of insects outside the room and the ghostly howling of the stupid loli.

(Benny: Let's go in, shall we? There shouldn't be any ghosts in there...right?)

The silly loli's voice was interspersed with the chattering of her teeth. Although Jiang Ran couldn't see her face, it was not difficult for him to imagine that she was trembling.

Frankly, Jiang Ran was a bit nervous. He wasn't afraid of people because their attacks were predictable, and at worst, he could use mind-reading to buy time. But ghosts were different. They were likely to attack without warning, just like wild animals or monsters, and they might even possess special abilities Jiang Ran didn't know existed.

(Jiang Ran: Whether there are ghosts or not, you’ll only know if you go in and see.)

Jiang Ran raised his hand and glanced at the word "Jiang" carved on his palm, and his heartbeat became much calmer.

No matter what happens next, "Ghost Ai'er" will not be more terrifying than "failure in the mission and failure to save parents."

Jiang Ran took a deep breath, gripped the dagger tightly, and flew out while lighting up the glowing magic stone. If "Ghost Ai'er" was really hiding in this dark room, then the sudden lighting of the magic stone would at least make her lose her vision for a few seconds.

"call……"

"Huh...huh..."
