Chapter 614: Chapter 194: The Cloaked Skeleton
Luo Haotian’s footsteps suddenly stopped. He heard a tremendous roar from ahead, like something had heavily crashed into the ground.
Stones flew everywhere, crowds ran frantically on the streets, Luo Shaohua’s residence was destroyed, as if it had been slapped open halfway.
The situation was unexpected for him; it seemed that someone had acted before him.
Soon after, Liao Hua crawled out from the ruins, running his way, covered in blood, his left arm already severed.
Just now, he was talking with Yuan Shaohua about Luo Haotian, but the sudden change left him in a dazed state, feeling the pain and only thinking of escaping.
As for Yuan Shaohua?
Forget him, let me survive first.
Liao Hua had not yet recovered from his suspicious state, noticing a man in a black coat rushing towards him, seemingly targeting him specifically.
The rusty knife was dull and also obscure, making it difficult for anyone to notice it.
Before Liao Hua could react, Luo Haotian thrust the knife through his heart and covered his mouth with one hand, silencing him.
No one noticed this scene, it appeared more like Luo Haotian was helping Liao Hua.
Stabbed by the knife, Liao Hua felt a chill of pain, full of terror, and struggled to look at the masked man, "It’s you, I knew it was you."
Luo Haotian stabbed again, completely destroying his heart, whispering, "Don’t you think you know too much?"
After more than ten seconds, Liao Hua completely lost his vitality, Luo Haotian let go, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Luo Haotian didn’t intend to leave, heading towards Yuan Shaohua’s residence, thinking if the opponent wasn’t dead, he could still finish him off.
His purpose today was to kill Yuan Shaohua, no matter what happened.
After walking a bit further forward, he saw Yuan Shaohua’s corpse in the ruins, only half left, the other half nowhere to be found, one eye wide open, seemingly witnessing something extremely terrifying.
And just like that, he died inexplicably, in this place he believed was utterly safe.
Luo Haotian didn’t ponder much, turned and left, such a big commotion here must attract the Law Enforcement Wizards quickly.
His task was thus easily completed.
He felt something was amiss, everything was too smooth, he hadn’t even acted, yet the task was completed.
Someone’s purpose aligns with his, and they killed Yuan Shaohua before him.
Glancing at his phone, the task now showed complete, it was a mission issued by the Doomsday Game.
However, he only received a small part of the reward because he hardly did anything, just came around and killed an irrelevant person.
Along the long street, alleyways, he ran back all the way to his residence.
The light in the house was still on, Luo Haoyi sat dazed on the sofa, maintaining the posture from before he left, the porridge on the table still steaming a bit.
Luo Haoyi looked up at him with a slight smile and asked, "Done the killing?"
Luo Haotian walked through the door, took off the blood-stained coat, hung it on the rack, and nodded, "They’re all dead, but it wasn’t me who did it, someone killed Luo Shaohua before I could, seems I’m not the only one here."
Luo Haoyi picked up the porridge, sipping it, "Lucky indeed."
Though Luo Haotian still felt puzzled by some things, with the matter completed, he didn’t dwell further, he too sat on the sofa to sip porridge.
Even though bland and tasteless, porridge was substantial, no different from delicacies in the apocalypse.
...
Skeleton.
A ghostly fire flickered in the hollow eye sockets, a Sapphire Crown inlaid on its skull, appearing elegant and dignified.
A cloaked skeleton walked in the sewer, emitting sounds of bone collisions.
"Death is your end, but not mine."
The skeleton looked up, feeling vibrations from afar, speeding up its advance.
Above ground, a wizard walking the streets suddenly fell to the ground, his body rapidly collapsing.
"What’s happening to you?" The wizard beside him asked in confusion, seeing his companion suddenly fall, but noticing nothing abnormal.
Soon, the fallen wizard let out a scream, his flesh rapidly decaying, exposing bones.
The wizard next to him reacted, attempting to flee, but found his body tingling, unable to move, he too fell to the ground.
Beneath them, in the sewer, the cloaked skeleton halted, giving them a glance.
Under its gaze was death, accompanied by eternal prayers, sent to the edge of the Black Sea.
Death’s arrival often silent, yet without warning.
...
Otto stood on the shopping mall’s building, sensing the commotion from the management area, someone had died.
"What happened?" Otto raised his head, revealing a gaunt, wrinkled face.
Law Enforcement team member Ayes slightly bowed her head and said, "Heard that indigenous person who became a wizard was killed, probably bore a grudge against us for switching sides."
Otto pondered for a moment, speaking deeply, "Aren’t they ordinary people there? Who’d have such formidable power."
"That...I’m not sure, but surely there are hidden Extraordinaries among them," Ayes said.
They mostly knew there might be hidden Extraordinaries among ordinary people but didn’t care, wouldn’t affect much.
"Anyway, it’s nearby, let’s go see what happened, it’s an interesting affair."
"People slaying each other show no mercy, even risking their lives, thinking they’re doing something so right."
Otto smiled smugly, a Wizard isn’t wooden, engages in intriguing stuff, which to him was amusing.
Due to Hei Mu’s death, he temporarily replaced the Law Enforcement Team Captain position, most are White Wizards, essentially supervising soldiers, playing overseeing roles.
"I still think highly of that indigenous person who became a wizard, he’s gifted, and has the disposition," Otto evaluated, showing an inexplicable smile.
Ayes pondered and said, "But after all, he’s not ours, not trustworthy."
Otto cast a glance at the White Wizard, shook his head, "Not necessarily, such people have desires, easier to control, they’ll work hard for us."
They arrived in the management area, the streets were empty, almost no one around, a team of soldiers already there, checking things.
"The house was neatly destroyed, killing people along with it, the killer is strong, but probably not that person," Ayes assessed at the scene.
They hadn’t caught the person causing explosions yet, several times almost caught her, but she escaped.
Otto was equally helpless, her flesh remarkably robust, once trapped her but she ran off forcefully.
Moreover, some witchcraft didn’t affect her, to kill her must suppress with sheer strength, requiring high-grade power, needing a Great Wizard.
And later she stopped revealing herself, searched the whole city couldn’t locate her, no idea where she hid.
But as long as guarding the gateway area, there’s no major issue.
