The Death List Novel - Chapter 757
Chapter 757 Stained With Blood
“Susan, Dana … So there are other reincarnators and storytellers who broke into the manor, including Hill and the others!” Qin Lun borrowed Harry’s vision to observe the crowd surrounding the formation.
‘”Since they didn’t act, shouldn’t they all be like me and still participate passively in the plot? Well, no, it’s unbelievable for Apostle, but it’s not completely impossible. And the Samsara is …”
Qin Lun suddenly thought of some information that he had neglected. When he was pulled into this space-time by this mysterious force, his initial judgement of Monte Town and Wilson Manor was that this was the space-time overlap region of multiple Earthly Mirror Worlds.
However, because Wilson Manor’s plot was too attractive, he slowly ignored the information, and now he reckoned that it was a minor mistake.
His initial judgment was correct. This was indeed a space-time overlap area. Before Harry fainted, Sir Wilson gave a detailed account of his past.
From his narrative, we can learn that some evil existence who is good at playing with people’s hearts, which is also the origin of the Wilson couple’s evil deeds. Judging from that evil existence’s actions, it possessed abilities similar to a priesthood, and its pursuit and purpose were quite clear.
Since that was the case, it was not some mysterious power that had just sprouted in this world. Instead, it should be a devil or god from an evil camp in another world. This proved Qin Lun’s judgement about the overlap of time and space.
Space-time overlap was extremely troublesome. At least one side effect was to isolate Qin Lun’s Laws, body, and consciousness. If Qin Lun struggled hard, he might be able to leave Harry’s body, but he would no longer be able to participate in Wilson Manor’s plot.
Although Qin Lun’s mind was rather confused, his thinking ability was still there. He began to comprehend that there was a plot hidden quite deeply within the plot, especially against him.
One had to know that the overlapping of time and space might isolate his consciousness and body, but it definitely could not isolate the reincarnated.
Because he had entered this world through the World Locator, he needed to hide the superstring space. Even if the Broken Star Sky helped him seize a storyline identity, at that time, the Broken Star Sky could only know about the existence of the Reaper Game, not the mysterious power of Wilson Manor.
However, Samsara was different. Superstring space was not a shattered starry sky, it completely controlled this world. Therefore, at least some of the plot identities given to Samsara would be directed at the mysterious power of Wilson Manor.
But it now seems that no one has destroyed Wilson Manor’s plot so far. Or perhaps the Samsara wanted to destroy it, but they were all stopped, causing the plot to enter its final stage.
Qin Lun could even think of someone with his butt who would do such a thankless thing. It must be Hill’s gang.
What did Hill’s gang want? Of course, it was to deal with him!
‘”But in this way” Qin Lun was a little confused. It was certain that Hill’s group would not destroy his Laws Body, but it was useless to isolate his consciousness here!
Originally, Qin Lun had the same body and soul as him, and the Apostle Soul Seal could not be split into two. It was not like Qin Lun could exist independently by isolating him here.
Moreover, he could leave Harry’s body at any time. This kind of isolation was not safe at all!
‘”Could it be that their goal is just to get my consciousness involved in this plot” Qin Lun could vaguely guess something, and he felt uncomfortable being schemed against.
However, he didn’t want to leave the plot just like that. From the beginning, there was a strong feeling in his heart that he wanted to continue watching.
Harry’s experience seemed to have allowed him to see who he once was. Even though he knew that the next events would strike him and awaken the darkest corner of his heart, he still couldn’t control himself as if he was drinking poison to quench his thirst.
“Big brother, will we really be burned to death?” Elaine lowered her head and sobbed.
“No, Elaine, I won’t let them hurt you. Big brother will definitely save you.” Harry struggled fiercely. The roar made Qin Lun feel extremely familiar, as if it was the resonance of his soul.
“Big brother, I stole this … those rats died after only eating a little. Unfortunately, it’s too late now!” Elaine suddenly turned around and opened her palm. There was a small brown bottle in her palm. There were some powdered medicines inside.
“Boom!” Qin Lun looked at the bottle containing the rat poison and felt as if a lightning bolt had exploded in his mind. Memories surged out from the depths of his mind, reappearing in front of his eyes.
It was also a windy night, and unlike Harry, his bronze keys were unnoticed by the Fosters.
However, the night he was about to escape with his sister, when he came down from the attic, he discovered that the Fosters had untied the iron collar around Elaine’s neck a step earlier.
The couple greeted him for dinner with the warm smile they had when they were first adopted. However, at that moment, their smiles pierced through Qin Lun’s heart like sharp arrows, causing him to feel a chill all over his body.
Qin Lun knew that he was a step too late. The couple had already decided to kill their siblings that night. Night after night’s efforts were all in vain, and the copper key that had soaked his blood and sweat was useless.
There was no collar around her sister Elaine’s neck, but it was replaced by the constant surveillance of two adults. How much time do they have left, an hour? 30 minutes?
He didn’t know that tonight was their last supper anyway.
Perhaps Qin Lun didn’t know how ugly his expression was at that moment, and even made the Fosters alert.
Luckily Elaine covered him and his six-year-old sister walked towards him with a sweet smile. As he said those innocent words, he dispelled the vigilance in the Foster couple’s eyes, but as he approached him, he pulled open the pocket of the princess’ skirt, which was filled with a bag of pills.
Qin Lun would never forget his surprise at that moment. His younger sister, who was originally two years younger than him, wasn’t any stupider than him. She even surpassed him in acting.
Qin Lun knew what those pills were. They were the rat poison that the Fosters had placed in the corner of the basement to poison rats.
Elaine wanted to hide it from the Fosters, but she couldn’t steal too much each time. Based on the amount of medicine Qin Lun had seen, his little sister had probably prepared a lot of time.
What Qin Mei didn’t expect was that Qin Lun wouldn’t allow her to use rat poison. One was that he didn’t want Qin Mei to become a killer, and the other was that the rat poison was too strong. If you put too little in the food, it won’t do much for adults. If you put too much in the food, you’ll understand the taste at a glance.
“No, I won’t let my sister’s hands be stained with blood!” Harry’s eyes turned crimson like blood, panting like an ox, and he struggled even harder. The rope left red marks on his thin arm. His skin was quickly worn away and drops of blood slid down the rope.
“I want to kill them! I want to kill them!” Qin Lun didn’t know if Harry had said it or if he had said it himself.
His thoughts became more and more synchronized with Harry’s. The little boy’s soul had already affected his consciousness. He had even forgotten his Apostle identity, forgotten the plot of Wilson Manor.
Elaine or Qin Mei’s breathing gradually increased as she watched Harry’s eyes slowly reveal madness. Compared to Qin Lun, she wouldn’t be affected by the little girl’s soul, but Qin Lun’s abnormal appearance also reminded her of a distant memory, allowing her to slowly substitute for him.
She would never forget that after she was severely beaten one time, her brother showed her the copper piece that was only in its embryonic form in order to comfort her crying self.
At first glance, she understood what that tiny rust-like stain on the copper block was. She remembered the tiny bloodstains that often appeared on her brother’s palm.
From that moment onwards, she no longer cried. Occasionally, she pretended to cry just to confuse the Foster couple who had beaten her. From that night onwards, tears flowed in the girl’s heart like venom.
Unlike her brother, who only wanted to escape, she decided that she would kill the couple and boil them into soup.
For this reason, she needed to replenish her strength, even if it was only to allow her weak body to take two more steps. She began to pounce on the little insects in the basement and ate them like candy beans.
The only thing she didn’t eat was the rats in the basement, because only when the rats’ corpses appeared would the couple not suspect the reduction in the amount of rat poison. In order to kill her strong enemy, she had prepared two weapons. The rat poison that he showed his brother was just one of them.
The other was a mouse bone that she had polished into a spike. She hid two hollow bone spikes inside her hair. The hollow pattern was discovered by her during a hunt that would mark the blood of a mouse like an arrow.
She thought that if someone was stabbed, the effect would probably be similar. The only pity was that the rat bones were too thin. She didn’t know if she could pierce into the couple’s necks with her own strength.
As for letting her brother take action, she did not even think about it. The reason was not that she did not want her brother’s hands to be stained with blood. But that she thought she was a better choice. The Fosters were less wary of her than their older brothers, who worked more often.
Later facts proved that she was correct on this point. When she stabbed the first bone spike into the back of her adoptive mother’s neck in the kitchen, the woman did not notice and thought that she had been bitten by a mosquito.
Unfortunately, unlike killing rats, she failed to pierce the target’s carotid artery for the first time. However, the middle-aged woman’s slow reaction gave her a second chance. This time, she had learned a lesson. After piercing the bone spike into the back of her neck, she even used all of her strength to cut it horizontally.
This time, the woman’s carotid artery was finally severed, causing her to collapse amidst her screams. But Qin Mei was only six years old after all, so she thought too simply. When her adoptive father and Qin Lun heard the screams and rushed over, a life-and-death battle broke out.
