.

A crowd is surging.

This adjective can be used to describe a crowd.

But it is the same for describing a bunch of bugs.

Countless insects gathered into a dark river of shadows, and they tried desperately to get into the man's clothes, but they did not make any sound. However, when the rustling sound during the action was overlapped by thousands or tens of thousands, it would make people feel extremely panic. The man even forgot what he should do, and the extreme disgust in his heart immediately turned into panic under powerlessness. He tried to vent his fear with a roar, but the coarse cloth stuffed in his mouth made him unable to shout out at all.

"I advise you not to do that."

Yi Ming took back the torch, took a step back carefully, and warned sincerely.

"These little guys are not very smart. If they treat your open mouth as some kind of new hole, then you will probably be uncomfortable."

“Woo…………!”

Marien touched her throat and her face turned pale. If she hadn't turned her back to Yi Ming, she might have been able to vomit.

Hundreds and thousands of cockroaches seemed to be attracted by something, and drilled into the wooden box from the gap in the man's neck. After all, this is a forest, and there are as many insects as such that they want to find, but for Marian, this may become an unforgettable experience. Although she had not done this before, they were all beautiful creatures such as summoning butterflies, such terrible and disgusting things like cockroaches. Marian didn't even dare to look at them, let alone summoning them... It was useless to summon them.

Yi Ming stood on the steps, staring at the shaking his head with a half-smile smile, desperately trying to keep his distance from these terrible sea of ​​insects. It seemed as if he was enjoying a ridiculous comedy, but his next words were even more trembling.

"Looking at this, the box will probably not be filled for long. Just like what I said, these little bugs do not have the ability to think independently, and they may keep looking for holes that can be drilled, such as noses, ears. Maybe they can drill into your body from under your nose? Do you feel your ears are itchy? I think you should give you a mirror so that at least you can understand your current situation..."

Marien had already covered her ears, although she had not gone to see it. But just imagination made her feel itchy all over. At this moment, the man's expression became even more strange, his face began to turn blue, and it was certainly not good to be in a sea of ​​insects. Moreover, the insects had begun to move towards the man's "deep areas" because there was no space. This made the man feel extremely disgusting, but he had no way to move. The joints of his limbs had been crushed by Yi Ming and could not move at all.

"I'll ask you the last time."

Yiming asked.

"Tell me who is the mastermind behind the scenes. If you want to say something, just nod. Let me remind you with kindness that biting your tongue will not kill anyone. We have very outstanding healing mages here, and you have no way to use your life to protect the so-called secret except to become a mute."

The man was silent, and Yi obviously still pursued him relentlessly and had no intention of giving up.

"Of course, this is just the beginning. There may be other bugs next, and they will not be as cute and harmless as cockroaches. It may be centipedes, spiders, or…..." When he said this, Yi Ming paused for a moment. Then he smiled gently and continued to stare at the man in front of him with a gentle smile.

"You must be thinking about how this boring and childish trick can make you surrender, right? Actually... For me, whether you surrender or not is only secondary. Since your assassination failed, there will definitely be someone who will continue to assassinate in the future. I don't believe that there is no one among the ten assassinators who can't stand the torture and reveal the truth. I am very patient. Since your master behind the scenes hopes to assassinate Marien so eagerly. No matter what plan he has, it must be time. Do you want to fight for endurance? It doesn't matter. For me, torture you is my greatest pleasure. I never show mercy to the enemy, but it's a pity for a prisoner like you... It's a good choice to use it as a follow-up program."

"Woo! Woo! Woo!! Woo!!"

Yi Ming's words made the man completely angry. As an assassin, he had enough confidence and pride to face torture. However, he could not tolerate others treating him as a toy. Moreover, the way of thinking of this young man was completely different from that of ordinary people. For ordinary people, they would be extremely cautious in the face of unknowable dangers, and even wanted to find the behind-the-scenes instructions as soon as possible to avoid his life being threatened again. But for this young man, he didn't care at all?!

"It seems that the box is full, what's next? Maybe it's the mouth... No matter how tight it is, there are still some hidden cracks."

"Woooooo...!!! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yi Ming's tone with a sarcastic tone finally completely collapsed the man's mental defense line. He nodded desperately, and seeing this scene, Yi Ming smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, Marian, stop."

"What are you doing with your ears covered?"

"Is it over?"

Marien regretted that she had just turned around, and her imagination was infinite. Just when Marien heard Yiming's story, just imagining the scene made her tremble all over, and girls were afraid of insects. Not to mention such disgusting and ugly insects, Marien finally understood why Mealie left at the first time. Then Marien quickly flicked her earrings a few times, and the tide of insects stopped moving forward immediately and then dissipated. However, for a long time, the originally black insect swarm disappeared into the gap in the basement wall again, but Marien did not stop. She tapped several times in a row before she breathed a deep breath. After all, no girl was willing to live under the same roof as thousands of insects.

"Tell me."

Yi Ming pulled off the rag from the man's mouth, and his smile was still as gentle as the March sunshine.

"Why did you assassinate Marian? Who are you instructed?"

"At, before that, I have a condition."

The man took a few breaths before he raised his head and stared at Yi Ming.

"Don't kill me..."

"no problem."

Yi Ming snapped his fingers to agree, and then he looked at the man, obviously waiting for him to answer his question. The man said hesitantly after being silent for a moment.

"………I don’t know the reason. Killers like us only know how to use money to do things and never ask about it."

"So, who is the one who entrusts you?"

"Menkatul... He claims to be his name, he is an old man, but he is very generous in his actions..."

The man's expression was confused, and it was obvious that he did not know the meaning of the name. But when Marian heard this, his face changed drastically. She took a few steps back in disbelief, as if she wanted to say something to refute, but in the end reason still prevailed, causing Marian to say nothing. And Yiming looked at Marian, then shrugged and walked to the man.

"Thank you, goodbye, go."

Before the man could react to Yi Ming's intention, the dark blade had already emerged from his eye socket and reached the back of his head. Then Yi Ming pulled it back and threw away the sticky object on the sword's edge. He didn't even look at the man who had died in a daze and turned around and looked at Marien.

"Do you have an impression of this name?"

"………………He is the housekeeper of my father, and Menkatul is his pseudonym. Because I once made fun of this name when I was a child, I remember it very clearly."

Speaking of this, Marien suddenly grabbed Yiming's hand.

"Yiming, what should I do? The enemy can even bribe my father's housekeeper. I must write a letter to remind my father to pay attention to safety!!"

“That’s right.”

Yi Ming sighed deeply in his heart. Marian's thoughts were correct according to ordinary people, but he did not think from the beginning that there was an opponent hiding in the darkness. But he could not tell Marian that her father was the biggest object of doubt. In this case, it would be better to follow Marian's ideas, which would be more in line with the other party's expectations.

Just like a performance on stage.

The enemy thinks that everything will be done in his own script, but if one of the characters is unwilling to act according to their established destiny, what will it end up like? The performers in front of the stage are not just manipulated chess pieces, but disguised as chess pieces may have unexpected effects.

(Is it finished?)

"ah!"

As Mealie's voice sounded, Marien was suddenly shocked, and then she quickly let go of Yiming's hand and took two steps back with an awkward expression.

"I feel a little confused...I'm sorry, I'm going to rest first."

As he said that, Marien turned her head, stared at the ground, and hurriedly left the basement.

(How is the situation?)

Mealie looked at Marien's back and asked after a moment of silence.

"Obviously the old man had long expected that we wouldn't suspect him, so he had done so obviously."

(So ​​what should I do? Will I continue to hide it?)

"The other party will not help but come to the door, before that..."

Speaking of this, Yi Ming suddenly remained silent and then frowned.
Chapter completed!
