The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 48: Steady player Annan
It is neither realistic nor safe to go out and chop Amos with a kitchen knife.
Annan has never liked such radical tactics.
Although he has lost half of his emotions now, Annan believes that he should be a stable person who likes to develop.
The so-called prudent means not taking the risk of jumping over the tower and killing people.
Because if you cross the tower, you may be counterattacked.
The correct approach is to kill the opponent before they enter the defense tower.
As you can imagine, this is very reasonable and prudent.
Adhering to this concept, Annan did not hold the kitchen knife directly in his hand.
He specially picked a heavier coat and put a layer of sweater on it. This kind of clothing will be a little hot, but it is bearable. Because of this kind of clothing, Annan can hang several kitchen knives on the back, chest and armpits of the coat.
Put the kitchen knife through the sweater first, then pass the blade through the coat and secure the coat to the body. It's like a toothpick holding a bacon roll in place. These are positions that Annan can get at any time.
But unfortunately, this can only handle a few smaller kitchen knives.
The largest kitchen knife, the one that Annan threw out very smoothly, could not be dealt with so easily.
Annan hid it in Ailei's piano room, near the door.
Yes, Ai Lei has a piano room of her own, with... a piano in it.
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 why Ailei mentioned in her diary that she "wanted to go to a concert."
It's a pity that Annan can't play the piano. But fortunately, Amos didn't have the eyesight to see him licking his face and leaning in to "play a serenade for daddy," so he wouldn't be exposed for a while.
Annan's intuition told him that this piano might be related to a high- or low-difficulty copy.
Deaths on the third level are relatively rare so far. As long as the player doesn't run around and doesn't care about messy things, basically the time is just enough to read the three books in the study.
And if Annan had not been cautious and brought a kitchen knife into the study, when Amos came home and the portrait screamed, Annan would have been unconscious inside, and then he would have been discovered by Amos...or he would have been howled to death. It's also possible.
After all, when he threw the flying knife, Annan clearly saw some changes in the light and shadow effects in the study. That is to say, he reacts quickly, otherwise a few more monsters may really spawn.
After all, "the guardian spirit can move freely in all paintings painted by this painter using this paint."
In a sense, the first half of this dungeon is actually a limited-time investigation and hiding mechanism similar to "escape". Highlight that one hesitation will lead to defeat and don't waste time.
So what's the second half of it?
Is the cake poisonous? Will you fall into hallucinations if you eat it?
Or will you fall into a coma after eating the cake Amos bought and drinking the black tea he brewed?
No matter what the mechanism is, Annan has no possibility of using his body to explore it.
He decided...
"Amos, come here and take a look!"
Annan closed the door of the piano room forcefully, and then let out a somewhat panicked scream: "It...it's not right, it seems to have been moved!"
He didn't mention the piano directly because he didn't know what the name of this instrument was in this world and was worried that he would call it wrong.
Annan is very cautious.
Another reason is...
He knew that if he said that, it would be impossible for Amos to remain calm.
There is a dark secret in his study. No matter if it was a thief or an undead person who tampered with the piano...he couldn't call the police.
"What?!"
Amos was shocked.
His first reaction was indeed to go to the study. But under Annan's repeated urging with a hint of tears, he still hurried over.
But Annan was quickly glad that he called Amos over and did not hold up the kitchen knife he temporarily named Frostmourne to see Ailei's father——
Because Annan clearly saw that Amos took out a revolver from behind his waist. And it doesn't seem to be an ordinary gun... Its gun has a line of shining silver text written on it that Annan can't understand. And its caliber is frighteningly large.
At least Annan is sure that for Ai Lei, who is also an ordinary person, the power of this gun is enough to kill.
"...Is there anyone inside?"
Amos asked in a low voice.
"I didn't see clearly," Annan's equally low voice was full of fear, "but I saw... the curtains just moved, it seemed like there was someone!"
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 slightly on the trigger: "You stand here. Behind you, Ai Lei... No, stay away."
"Be careful, Amos."
Annan responded in a low voice, and the left hand placed on Amos's back trembled slightly, fully revealing its owner's fear and helplessness.
Amos, on the other hand, hunched over and pushed the door open suddenly.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, held the door tightly with his left hand, and took aim randomly in the room for a while. But of course, no one else was seen.
And he slowly leaned in and first looked behind the door - no one was there.
Then Amos raised his voice and said: "Come out, friend!
"——I see you!"
While saying this, Amos slowly approached the heavy curtain at the end of the room with his gun raised, and at the same time said loudly: "Ai Lei, hide behind the door!"
"Okay..."
There was still a little fear in Annan's voice, and there was a slight tremor. But obviously, the arrival of her father has encouraged "Ai Lei"...
At the same time, Annan took out a kitchen knife from his arms with his brisk right hand. And her left hand slowly took out the kitchen knife from where she had hidden it before.
Then Annan aimed for a while and quickly threw two kitchen knives towards Mr. Amos one after another!
The large kitchen knife was relatively heavy~IndoMTL.com~ and struck Amos on the right shoulder. He couldn't help but scream, and in pain, the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
The smaller kitchen knife was originally intended to be driven into the back of Amos' head. But he moved because of the pain, and the sharp kitchen knife only cut into the left side of Mr. Amos's neck. A deep, bleeding **** was opened.
At this time, Annan had already pulled out the remaining two kitchen knives from his arms, and pounced on them without hesitation.
He slashed Amos's neck with one knife, cut away Amos' right hand that was blocking the knife with another knife, and then stabbed his eye socket with his backhand.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something... Annan’s knife happened to pierce Amos’ left eye.
Exactly the location of the scorch marks on Ai Lei's portrait!
Annan knocked Amos down, sat on him, cut his throat, and nailed his eyes, ears, and temples. But Amos was still struggling, as if he would never die, and bright red paint seeped out of his body, seeping out...a lot of it.
The drops fell to the ground, leaching out a bright red color. Then came the gush, like a collapsed dam. The bright red liquid gushes out from 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, with a strong sense of suffocation. It’s as if the whole world is left with only this bubbling red ocean...
He struggled in the red ocean and gradually lost consciousness.
When Annan woke up again, he was still floating in the sea of blood. But he no longer felt the strong sense of suffocation, but was breathing normally, with a large number of system prompts flashing before his eyes.
It was then that Annan realized belatedly...
It seems like... the level has been cleared?
