Chapter 265: Why Force Me x Sleep, World
Tap... tap...
Roy walked straight past the little beggar, following the knight's squire who called him and slowly walked away...
After he walked far away, the street that had fallen dead silent resumed its previous clamor...
Several children who had taken to their heels and run turned back, watching Roy leave. They were visibly stunned, then ran back in a swarm, lending a hand to pull up the little beggar on the ground and said: "Hey~ Paramount, you didn't get kicked to death like Jerome, you're so lucky!"
Jerome was also one of their beggar gang. At the end of last month, because he was snatching a piece of wheat cake, he accidentally brushed against Andrew, and was smacked to death by Longergon's shield with a backhand swing. At that time, the other party's white, yellow, and red fluids spilled all over the ground, and the person was directly flattened into a meat patty, almost making the children vomit out their overnight meals from the night before...
Therefore, the little beggar was even more excessive than Jerome today, directly bumping into him, and as a result, he was completely fine... Many people who saw this, such as the uncle pulling the cart and the aunt selling mushrooms, couldn't help but sigh... Paramount is lucky.
The little beggar named Paramount recovered from his daze, glanced hazily in the direction Roy left, and only felt a chill in his crotch. Looking down, he realized he had wet himself. He hurriedly clamped his legs tight, not wanting people to notice his embarrassing state... Fortunately, after sighing secretly for a while, the crowd suddenly met the malicious gaze of the slave trader and scattered like startled birds. No one had the time to care about him.
Leaving Paramount shouting "Wait for me," while awkwardly clamping his legs and running with a comical, bizarre posture to escape the slave trader's line of sight, disappearing into the secluded alleys...
Whoosh~ A leisurely gust of wind blew, scattering a white cloud in the sky.
Living in an environment of mud and mess, it seemed only that patch of blue sky above could bring Roy some comfort.
The boy's silver hair changed into brown hair falling behind his head, and a red light surged in his pupils. He faintly glanced at the knight's squire walking in front of him with a somewhat stern face. Through Andrew Cooper's memory, he recognized the other party. A man named Dunn, acting as a guard for Lord Knight Edmond Bellberg, and also a Nen user.
"Judging from his 'Blood Qi' and 'Nen Aura', he is clearly much stronger than that uncle pulling the cart and the aunt selling mushrooms..." The [True Eye] flashed... A string of information subsequently surfaced in Roy's mind...
[Dunn West]
[Knight's Squire]
[Physique: 274]
[Manifested Aura Volume: 74,120 / 100,000]
[Potential Aura Volume: 270,000 / 1,000,000 (Hollow)]
[Evaluation: C]
[Note: Chimera Ant Elite Squad Leader level, inferior to Squadron Leader, but a hair higher than an ordinary Elite Squad Leader]
[Reference: Leol the lion, who once fought Kite]
Roy raised an eyebrow, quietly paying attention to the word "Hollow". Looking up again at Dunn, who was silently leading the way without saying a word, showing absolutely no interest in chatting with Roy... He could vaguely feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the other party, suspected to be a [Blessing], but it felt... unlike it, very strange...
Tap... tap... The two walked one after the other, ignoring each other. In an eerie silence, they soon arrived in front of a luxurious villa.
A large open space was cleared in front of the villa, paved with exquisite floor tiles. Adjacent to the floor tiles was a straight asphalt concrete road, indicating... the current Bandle City or the Principality of Samir is not as completely backward as Roy had previously imagined. However, it indirectly proved...
The fact that advanced things are controlled by the superiors and rarely flow to the bottom!
"Good afternoon, Lord Dunn!" The guards stationed at the villa immediately straightened their chests and took off their hats in salute upon seeing Dunn.
Dunn was about in his early thirties. He wore a split vest, his waist tightly cinched by a slender belt. He nodded to them as usual, waited for the villa door to be pulled open, and led Roy straight in.
Maintaining the appearance of Andrew Cooper, Roy recalled his various behaviors when frequently entering and exiting the villa in the past. At the same time, he inconspicuously swept a glance at the guards in front of the door. Most were at "E", which was the level of Gon and Killua when they had just opened their aura nodes. Of the Four Major Principles [Ten] [Zetsu] [Ren] [Hatsu], they probably only mastered the first two. They were still quite a distance away from activating [Hatsu] and fully developing their own "Nen abilities". Clearly, they lacked... certain guidance...
As the boy's gaze flickered, he adjusted his hem, lifted his foot again, and strolled into the villa courtyard following Dunn. Entering, he could hear decadent music faintly wafting out from the magnificent hall of the villa...
Occasionally, a man's heavy breathing and lewd laughter could be heard from within.
Instantly pulling Roy back to the scene he saw in Ribéry Garcia's heart... the honorable Viscount Garcia along with his captain of the guard conquering Lady Garcia...
Roy slightly lowered his eyelids and took a deep breath. He heard Dunn West open the door, turn around, glance at him, and say: "Please." Roy nodded and stepped into the villa living room. Upon entering, he saw a pot-bellied middle-aged man swirling a glass of red wine, watching several young boys and girls in light clothing sing and dance in front of him... Their private parts were deliberately covered with light gauze, faintly discernible. It was both mysterious, preventing one from seeing everything, and irresistibly tempting, making one want to keep looking...
Roy, imitating Andrew Cooper, waited quietly to the side without interrupting... He waited until the man finished the wine in his glass and waved his hand, signaling Dunn West to take the young boys and girls down, leaving only one young boy held in his arms. Only then did he hear him sigh leisurely and say: "Andrew, none of them are as slutty as your wife~" Edmond Sander stroked the back of the young boy, burped the wine smell from his mouth, tilted his head, and looked at Roy with a half-smile: "You consider yourself lucky to have married a good wife who caught Lord Simon's eye. Otherwise, the cushy job of collecting spirits wouldn't have fallen to you."
Lord Simon... Deputy Commander of the Security Corps... Roy searched Andrew Cooper's memory, and the image of a man with a massive hooked nose involuntarily surfaced in his mind. The other party was tall and slender, wearing a monocle year-round. His smile... always sent a chill down his spine, indescribably gloomy...
Roy placed his right hand over his chest and bowed humbly to Edmond Sander, saying: "It is all thanks to Lord Edmond's cultivation. Without you, there would be no Andrew today."
"Hehehe... don't say those polite words. After all, counting it, we are considered friends who have entered the same [Hole]," Edmond Sander said with a wicked smile: "Your wife is also my wife. If you can handle errands well, I also look good in front of Lord Simon."
"Yes."
"Alright, speak. How's the progress?" Edmond Sander lazily shrank into his chair, resting his chin on his hand and looking over... Roy thought of old Mark, Mrs. Nora, Maddie-kun whose skin was peeled off and made into a flask, and those men, women, fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers who willingly fed themselves to magical beasts just so their children could enter the city and enjoy a better life.
Suppressing the anger gradually welling up in his heart, he said: "As per Lord Edmond's instructions, eleven have already been collected."
"Eleven?" Edmond frowned, his face falling instantly: "Why so few? What about high-quality goods? How many high-quality goods are there?" High-quality goods... meaning the spirits of "Nen users"...
There is a difference between [Mortal] and [Nen]. The soul strength of an ordinary person is obviously inferior to that of a Nen user who has opened their aura nodes and awakened Nen abilities... Even for [Post-Mortem Nen], an ordinary person cannot compare to a Nen user...
Roy searched Andrew Cooper's memory and instantly understood what [High-Quality Goods] meant... He lowered his head and said: "My apologies, Lord Edmond. None have been collected yet..."
Swoosh
The atmosphere in the living room instantly cooled down, as if someone pressed the mute button...
After a moment, Edmond Sander smiled.
He nodded gently: "Mm."
Ignoring Roy, he suddenly asked the trembling boy in his arms: "What are you shaking for? Are you scared?"
The boy's back was bare, and he only wore a pair of briefs on his lower body. He forced a fearful smile and said: "My Lord, I am not." "Nonsense, you are clearly afraid!"
"My Lord, I am not."
"Still lying!" Edmond suddenly changed his expression. Reaching out, he pinched the boy's neck. His thick palm was directly coated with [Ten]. He lifted him up by his neck as if lifting a chick. Visibly to the naked eye... the boy's cheeks began to turn purple at a rapid speed. He struggled desperately, kicking his legs and slapping Edmond's arm... like a drowning person on the brink of death, sinking to the bottom at any moment... "Ugh... Mmm..." His breathing decreased...
Edmond finally seemed to remember Roy. Tilting his head to look at him again, he said: "Andrew, look at him, doesn't he look like you?"
Roy's body abruptly trembled. Looking up again, the anger in his eyes could no longer be suppressed. They instantly turned red, bursting forth!
"Pew!" [Laser] fired!
Two searing lasers suddenly shot from Roy's eyes at Edmond Sander!
Before the man could recover his senses, they instantly severed the fat hand he used to hoop the boy, making him wail miserably, letting out a scream like a pig being slaughtered! "Thud" The boy, whose neck was hooped, fell weakly along with a severed hand. Finally able to breathe a mouthful of air, his knees went weak, and he fell directly to the ground... He let out heavy panting sounds of "Hah~ wheeze~", seemingly not yet recovered from the fright. Looking blankly at Roy who saved his life, his figure flashed, instantly turning into a ray of sunlight. He only felt his vision blur, and in the next glance, he saw...
He stepped on Edmond Sander's fat face with one foot. The red light in his eyes was almost dyed blood-red by anger!
"Why?"
"Why do you have to scare me?"
"Don't you know I'm cowardly and can't take a fright?"
Crunch Foot grinding facial skin, then crushing facial bones... Edmond Sander's miserable screams filled the air... which soon alerted Dunn West, who hadn't gone far, and the dozen or so guards stationed at the villa!
Dunn West had just stepped out of the corridor when his expression changed, "Lord Edmond!"
He abruptly turned around and rushed back into the living room, followed by a rush of over a dozen guards holding various weapons!
Crazy! The main door was busted open! When they saw Edmond Sander being stepped on by Roy transformed into Andrew Cooper, Dunn West and the guards froze for a moment, then shouted and charged over!
"Andrew Cooper, do you know what you are doing?"
"By [Thunder] above, damn it... Let Lord Edmond go right now!"
"Don't come any closer!" Suddenly, a stern shout stopped Dunn West and the others in their tracks. Roy slightly narrowed his eyes, feeling a tyrannical fluctuation of Nen aura from beneath his foot. His figure flashed, and using the sunlight, he Photified again, retreating to the side. Suddenly...
Edmond Sander, who was stepped on by him and had one hand severed, abruptly expanded!
Various liver mortis spots slowly appeared on his chest, head, arms, and thighs. His body expanded rapidly, turning into a massive [Giant View] in the blink of an eye. Finally, unable to hold on, he exploded with a bang!
"Boom! None of you come closer! I'm going to tear him to pieces alive!"
Suddenly, an angry roar, along with the [Giant View] exploding, shot out countless foul-smelling "Nen bullets". They suddenly merged again, condensing into a "foul torrent" that washed towards Roy...
The red light in Roy's pupils surged. [Laser] instantly switched to [True Eye] and he looked closely... A stream of information subsequently surfaced in his mind. [Edmond Sander]
[Knight...]
[Physique: 1543]
[Manifested Aura Volume: 110,000 / 1,000,000]
[Potential Aura Volume: 870,000 / 1,000,000 (Hollow)]
[Evaluation: B-]
[Note: Chimera Ant Elite Squadron Leader level, inferior to Royal Guards, but a hair higher than an ordinary Elite Chimera Ant Squadron Leader]
Roy frowned, once again looking closely at the word [Hollow]. He keenly discovered... the Edmond Sander rushing towards him before his eyes, just like Dunn West glaring fiercely from the sidelines, suspected of having experienced one, or even two or three... [Blessings]! So the question is?
All being "Outcasts" spurned by [God], forced to eke out a living in the Uzuki Forest... where did the [Blessings] on them come from? Numerous questions rushed into his mind like chaotic thoughts, tangled and impossible to sort out...
Roy simply hardened his heart and stopped thinking. He directly deployed [En], dispatched the [Heart Worms], and simultaneously exhaled a breath, blowing out a stream of "sleepiness". Instantly, it enveloped the entire villa, including the living room, garden, and back corridor. He was heard saying:
"Sleep."
[Dream Domain]... Activate!
Buzz~ Invisible fluctuations spread like water ripples...
Sweeping past Edmond Sander, who had transformed into a foul torrent, making the torrent pause,
Sweeping past Dunn West watching the battle, making him dazed and stumble instantly,
Sweeping past the guards, making the weapons in their hands drop with a clatter. Their legs went soft like dumplings being dropped into water, falling to the ground with a Thump Thump... Not to mention those poor young boys and girls who hadn't opened their aura nodes, birds, insects, and fish... Any living creature that met those pupils inscribed with a large "Sleep" character froze, and then obediently lay down...
"You... you are not Andrew Cooper!"
"Lord Edmond be careful, this guy is not Andrew Cooper!"
"His Nen aura is weird!"
