Chapter 48 The Steady Player Annan
It is neither realistic nor safe to go out with a kitchen knife and slash directly with Amos.
Annan has never liked such aggressive tactics.
Although he has lost half of his feelings now, Annan believes that he should be a steady and developing person.
The so-called prudence is not to take the risk of jumping the tower to kill.
Because jumping the tower will have the possibility of being counter-killed.
The correct way is to kill the opponent before they enter the tower.
As you can imagine, this is very reasonable and stable.
Adhering to this concept, Annan did not directly lift the kitchen knife in his hand.
He specially picked a heavier coat and put a layer of sweater under it. Dressing like this can be a little hot, but it's tolerable. Because of this kind of clothing, Annan can hang several kitchen knives on the back, front chest and armpit of his coat.
Pass the kitchen knife through the sweater first, then pass the blade through the jacket to secure the jacket to the body. It's like a toothpick that holds a bacon roll in place. These are positions that Annan can get at any time.
But unfortunately, this can only handle the few smaller kitchen knives.
And the biggest kitchen knife, the one that Annan threw out so easily, can't be handled so easily.
Annan hid it in Elle's piano room, near the door.
Yes, Elle has her own piano room with...a piano.
Although Annan does not know who invented the piano in this world and when it appeared, he is very clear that the price of this thing is definitely not cheap.
This is probably why Ellie mentioned in her diary, "I want to go to a concert".
It's a pity that Annan can't play the piano. But fortunately, Amos won't have the eyesight to see the level of licking his face and "playing a serenade to Dad", so he won't be exposed for a while.
Annan's intuition told him that this piano might be related to the difficult or low-difficulty copy.
The death of the third floor is still relatively small at present. As long as the players don't run around and don't care about the mess, basically the time is just enough to read the three books in the study.
And if Annan was not cautious, he brought a kitchen knife into the study, and when Amos came home and the portrait screamed, Annan would definitely be in a coma, and then be discovered by Amos... or it is also possible that he would be screamed to death. of.
After all, when he threw out the flying knife, Annan could clearly see that the light and shadow effects in the study had changed slightly. That is to say, he reacts quickly, otherwise he may really spawn a few more monsters.
After all, "the guardian spirit can move freely in all the paintings made by this artist with this paint".
In a sense, the first half of this dungeon is actually a time-limited investigation and hiding mechanism similar to "escape". Highlight a hesitation will lose, and don't waste time.
So what's the second half of it?
Is the cake poisonous? Will you hallucinate if you eat it?
Or will he fall into a coma after eating the cake Amos bought and drinking the black tea he made?
No matter what the mechanism is, Annan has no possibility to explore it with his own body.
He decides……
"Amos, come and see!"
Annan closed the door of the piano room with force, and then let out a somewhat panicked scream: "It...it's not right, it seems that someone has moved it!"
He didn't say the piano directly, considering that he didn't know the name of this instrument in this world, and was worried that he called it wrong.
Annan is very cautious.
Another reason is...
He knew that if he said so, then Amos couldn't keep his cool.
In his study, there are hidden secrets. Whether it was a thief or an undead who moved the piano...he couldn't call the police.
"what?!"
Amerston was shocked.
His first reaction really was to go to the study to have a look. But under the repeated urging of Annan with a slightly crying voice, he hurried over.
But Annan was soon thankful that he called Amos over and did not meet Elle's father with the kitchen knife he temporarily named Frostmourne—
Because Annan clearly saw that, Amos took out a revolver gun from behind his waist. And it doesn't seem to be an ordinary gun... It has a line of silvery words written on the gun that Annan couldn't understand. And its caliber is frighteningly large.
At least Annan can be sure that the power of this gun is deadly enough to Alley, who is also an ordinary person.
"...is there anyone in there?"
Amos asked in a low voice.
"I didn't see it clearly," Annan's equally low voice was full of fear, "but I saw... the curtain just moved, it seems that someone is there!"
Amos looked at the closed door of the piano room, which was tightly held by Annan, and quickly moved Annan behind him, raised the muzzle of the gun with his right hand, and placed his index finger on the trigger: "You stand behind me, Ai Rei... no, stay away."
"Be careful too, Amos."
Annan replied in a low voice, his left hand on Amos's back trembled slightly, fully revealing the fear and helplessness of its owner.
Amos, on the other hand, hunched his waist and slammed the door open.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled the door tightly with his left hand, and aimed at random in the room for a while. But of course, no one else was seen.
And he leaned in slowly, first looking behind the door - no one was there.
So Amos said, "Come out, my friend!
"—I saw you!"
While saying this, Amos slowly approached the thick curtain at the end of the room with his gun, and raised his voice, "Ai Lei, you are hiding behind the door!"
"OK……"
There was still a little fear in Annan's voice, and a little trembling. But obviously, the arrival of my father has cheered up "Ai Lei"...
At the same time, Annan's brisk right hand took out a kitchen knife from his arms. The left hand slowly took out the kitchen knife from the position where she had hidden the kitchen knife.
Then Annan aimed for a while, and quickly threw the two kitchen knives at Mr. Amos!
The large kitchen knife was heavy and slashed into Amos' right shoulder. He couldn't help screaming, and under the pain, the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
The smaller kitchen knife was originally meant to be driven into the back of Amos's head. But he moved because of the pain, and the sharp kitchen knife only cut into Mr. Amos' left neck. A deep, bleeding opening was opened.
At this time, Annan had already pulled out the remaining two kitchen knives from his arms, and rushed towards them without hesitation.
He slashed at Amos' neck with one knife, and another knife cut through Amos's right hand that was blocking the knife, and stabbed his backhand into his eye socket.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or what... Annan's knife just pierced into Amos' left eye.
It was the location of the scorch mark on Elle's portrait!
Annan threw Amos down, rode on him, cut his throat, and nailed it into his eyes, ears, and temples. But Amos was still struggling, as if he would not die, the bright red paint oozing out of him, oozing out...a lot of oozing.
The drops fell to the ground, leaching a bright red. Then came the gushing, like a crumbling dam, bright red liquid gushing out of the cracks in the screaming Amos, flooding the entire room in the blink of an eye.
Annan felt as if he was immersed in sea water, and there was a strong sense of suffocation. The whole world seems to be the only thing left with this bubbling red ocean...
He struggled in the red ocean and gradually lost consciousness.
When Annan woke up again, he was still floating in a sea of blood. But he no longer felt the strong suffocation, but was breathing normally, and there were a lot of system prompts in front of him.
Only then did Annan realize...
It looks like... it's closed?
