"Hualala, hualala…"
The sound of the chains rang out in the empty corridor. The sound was getting closer and closer to Gu Cheng's bedroom.
Gu Cheng, who was sitting on the windowsill, returned to his senses and looked at the door. He smiled silently.
"Are you going to personally eliminate a suspicious person like me?”
You really don't put me, the boss of the mansion, in your eyes at all.
This was Rem's personality.
However, he was not prepared to see blood tonight. His figure flashed, and Gu Cheng jumped down lightly and disappeared through the window.
After comprehending the power of waves, he could easily sense the wind and grass within a few dozen meters of him. It was impossible to ambush him.
...
During breakfast time, everyone in the mansion gathered in the dining room.
"Where did Gu Cheng go?"
Amelia, who was wearing a white nightdress, asked in confusion.
"The guest disappeared early in the morning, sister.”
"I haven't seen any guests since this morning, Rem.”
Rozvall, who was sitting on the main seat, swallowed the bread in his mouth and said loudly,
"Gu Cheng had some private matters to attend to and went out last night.”
- -
This must be the resting place of that magical beast.
Gu Cheng had changed into a dark blue windbreaker that he had picked out from Rozvall's closet.
She was wearing a pair of short boots with buttons on them. This outfit was already the most low-key among them.
She recalled that when she went to pick out clothes last night, The Clown's wardrobe was full of colorful clothes that really did not suit her taste.
"That magical beast should be in the shape of a puppy. How do I help it kill it?”
Were these guys still deeper in the day?
Gu Cheng slowly walked into the forest with questions in his mind. In fact, he left the house early in the morning and spent the rest of the night at Elsa's place in the underground secret room.
Gut Hunter's resistance softened a little, but Gu Cheng could still see the hatred in her eyes.
It was exactly what he wanted. If there was no hatred, why would he stay here?
"There seems to be the smell of some creature.”
Nearby, when he stepped on the grass, there was only the sound of rustling in the quiet forest.
"Yes... Is anyone there?"
A weak cry for help came from the front.
Following the sound, Gu Cheng found the two children on a patch of grass.
A man and a woman, who looked to be only eight or nine years old, were calling for help from the little boy.
"Mi Na, Mi Na is still in the forest, save her…Big brother."
Were these two children under the Weakening Curse of those magical beasts?
Gu Cheng carefully recalled the plot he had read in his previous life. The Curse Beast was a creature that looked like a puppy, and there was a large group of hunter-type single-horned magical beasts hidden in the forest. The Curse Beast was the leader of them.
"I will save her. Don't worry."
Gu Cheng gently answered the little boy's question and covered his eyes, watching him fall asleep.
"But before I save her, I can only use you as my first test subject.”
Silently, he took out the Shadowless Sword from his waist and silently slashed the boy's throat. In his sleep, a life passed away silently.
"Ding! Completed Cursed Beast Quest Requirement, Current Progress: 1/10。”
A few seconds after killing the boy, Gu Cheng's heart was still heavy. After all, this was the first time he had killed an innocent life.
"You won't be alone. I'll send your family to reunite with you.”
After saying this silently, Gu Cheng picked up the little girl on the ground with one hand and continued to move deeper.
Just as he took a step forward, a bright light made him stop.
The boy lying on the grass was in a daze. Wisps of white smoke came out of his seven orifices and gathered in front of his chest.
A few seconds later, a few transparent square crystals appeared.
[Colourless Crystal *6: Consumable when casting certain skills. It is also a necessary material to strengthen weapons and equipment.]
He touched it lightly, and the moment it came into contact with his fingertip, the crystal turned into a light spot and disappeared.
When he reappeared, it was in Gu Cheng's Backpack.
"Interesting. The crystal is condensed from a person's soul and life force.”
He looked at the colorless crystal in his backpack. It seemed to be covered in the boy's blood…
Gu Cheng let go of the compassion in his heart and followed the trail deeper into the forest…
On the other hand, Rem and Ram had arrived at Aram Village to purchase ingredients.
This village called Aram was not far from the mansion and belonged to the territory of the border earl Rozvall.
The village was very small, with a population of about 200 people.
This number of people was not even comparable to a kindergarten in Gu Cheng's previous life. It took less than 20 minutes to circle around.
"Today's work ended very early, sister.”
"The children are as enthusiastic as ever, Rem.”
They had heard that there were children missing in the village recently, but they had not decided to help yet.
"There are cute little things over there, sister.”
She pointed at the corner of a small house. A small and exquisite puppy with drooping ears was wagging its tail at them…
...
Gu Cheng found the little girl beside a fallen tree trunk.
"This place is quite lively."
Sporty voices came from all directions, and pairs of fierce eyes kept appearing.
"Awooo…"
Magical beasts that looked like hounds walked out of the forest. Their backs were covered in black fur, their limbs were orange, and their noses had a single horn. The end of their tails was shaped like a spike.
"Experiment topic two, what can you bring me?”
Holding the Shadowless Sword, Gu Cheng leaped into the air like a spring, and a huge force wrapped around his arm!
Mountain Collapsing Strike!
A thick shockwave surrounded the entire blade and landed on the ground at the center of the headless beast like a meteorite!
"Bang!"
Shattered rocks flew everywhere, and a huge pit with a diameter of five meters was actually so terrifying.
There were three magical beasts lying around covered in blood. Gu Cheng's eyes flashed with bloodlust.
"There are enough of them.”
His body turned into a phantom, and he charged straight at the one closest to him with his sword!
