Chapter 54 The Mind of a Tyrant

The tall Akins had a clear outline of the face, his cheeks were a little dark due to the wind and sun, and there were some traces of sharp blades on his skin. The long sword scabbard on his waist was shiny, and the holster with the gun was also seriously worn. The commander of the Black Iron Army exuded a strong male hormone aura from head to toe.

All the guards behind him were left outside the door. When they walked on the wooden base with animal skins and some metal-made military boots, they would make a loud bang sound. They walked to the desk and looked at the young man who was looking up at him, with his lips slightly opened.

“Can I sit?”

Luo Ning pretended to be surprised, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and put his right hand on his eyebrows and bent down to salute respectfully. This was learned from Derong and then responded respectfully.

“Of course, my house is located on your territory.”

Akins sat down, his face calm and he could not see any fluctuations, and he reminded him with the unique high-pitched voice of the soldiers.

"As a member of the Order Church of the Black Iron Army ally, you can sit down without always standing."

Luo Ning returned to his seat and sat down, looking at the commander of the Black Iron Army in front of him, and a more accurate description should be the robber leader.

"According to common sense, the Black Iron Army should take a week to come. You must have something very important. If I can help, I will do my best."

In fact, the dream reminder of the inevitable event of the witch has long foreshadowed that the other party will come early, but at this time you have to pretend that you don’t know anything.

Akins lowered his head and thought for a moment, raised his head.

"According to common sense, the Black Iron Army will take about a week, but the incident that happened to Mr. Dejung forced me to change my itinerary temporarily." He turned around and snapped his fingers.

The soldiers carrying the bodies at the door entered the house and lowered the wooden stretcher and then left.

Luo Ning looked at the body on the stretcher, which was naturally Derong. After a moment, he stood up and rushed over and knelt in front of the stretcher, looking at a loss, as if he was unaware of it before, his voice trembled and he was crying.

"It's Mr. Dejong, how could he do this?"

Looking at the young man kneeling in front of the stretcher, Akins stood up straight, saluted and walked over after about ten seconds.

"Sorry, I don't know what's going on. He committed suicide by cutting his wrist in the room. When the soldiers found out, they had lost too much blood. The military doctors treated him, but it was too late."

Luo Ning looked at the corpse, with cut marks on her wrist, and it was very deep, almost cutting her wrist. There were some black textures as complex as the roots of the plant at the wound.

The last time I saw De Jong, he was still an ordinary person. It was probably after he went back that his fateful event began, making him an awakened person.

"Is it because Dejung cut his wrist to check his original fate card, because his injury was too serious and eventually led to excessive blood loss and death?"

While his eyes were about to leave the wrist, Luo Ning hesitated for a moment and continued to look at the wrist. In addition to the wound that was almost about to cut the wrist, there were bruises on his wrist.

His eyes moved to another intact wrist and he also saw bruises, which circled around his wrist.

“There are bruises on both wrists.”

He suddenly thought of Cheryl, the witch who was once caught by the Black Iron Army. At that time, Cheryl was also wearing handcuffs and shackles. After the handcuffs were opened, there was such bruise on his wrist, which was about the same size. It took about two days to use the bruise to disappear.

This proves that De Jong was handcuffed and shackled within two days.

It was done by the Black Iron Army!

There is another evidence to be so sure.

De Jong is a member of the Order Church with a higher identity than himself. The Order Church has certainly mastered the magic, including those healing potions. If he cut his wrist and the wound is too serious, he will definitely use powerful healing potions to save himself and will never die because of such a small mistake.

What's more, he would never be stupid enough to cut such deep wounds when checking his original destiny card. Moreover, if he wants to cut such deep fatal wounds, he would never succeed in doing it in one go. There will definitely be other scratches. This is the same as committing suicide by cutting his wrists. Generally, the deceased will leave many tentative scratches on his wrists.

The most important thing is that the original fate card on De Rong has disappeared now. Thinking of this, the eyes are looking at the ankle, and there are also clear shackles on the ankle. This information combined makes Luo Ning think of something bad.

This means that De Jong was handcuffed and shackled, then his wrist was cut off by someone else, and he took away his original fate card.

The murderer was Akins. He killed Dejong and took away the fate card. Of course, in order to avoid becoming a curser, this commander must have his subordinates do it for him.

Based on the last time he helped investigate the soldiers who were cursed because the witch told some information, Akins must have known that he was an awakened person, so this time he came not to return the corpse, but to get the original fate card on his body.

The last time the bounty hunter predicted whether De Jong would reveal Ronin's identity was completely wrong. Not only that, De Jong also revealed that he was also an awakened person, which eventually led to death.

At the same time, a worse premonition began to emerge.

The witch said that she had already obtained the information that Akins would come today, so she used her "cousin" identity to cover up her plan. According to common sense, the witch will measure gains and losses. Last night, no matter whether she could get the information of the thief or not, she would come back this morning to implement her plan and complete her inevitable event. Now the witch has not returned, and it is possible that she was discovered by the other party during the stalking process and then caught. Akins has killed the witch.

The witch also concealed some things from him. The witch Difia's spy told Cheryl Akins that he would come today and must have told her that Akins came to Red Crow Town today to become the awakened self. The reason why he did not say it clearly should be that he was afraid of escaping and could not borrow his identity as a "cock".

So I have always been a pawn in the plan of these people.

"What a cruel witch."

Luo Ning sighed, and his right hand involuntarily began to touch his chest. Things have come to this point and cannot sit and wait for death, so he must take a try.

It is foreseeable that the commander would definitely not do anything to himself, avoid being cursed, and would definitely let his soldiers do it for him, so his chances are not lacking.

At this time, one hand reached out, wide and thick, covered with calluses left by using weapons. It was Akins.

"Dejong mentioned to me that the Church of Order has encountered a big problem because of the rubbing of the stone slab you sent. Now Dejong is dead, and the only one of the Church of Order is left, so you are now the only ally of the Black Iron Army. I can empathize with your sorrow. By the way, have you cracked the content of the stone slab?"

This sentence confirms that Derong had betrayed his information before. The other party's final question was just to see if he had cracked the content of the stone slab and became an awakened person. If he became an awakened person, he would have a destiny card, and the other party would definitely kill him.

After hearing this greeting, Luo Ning realized that it was not time to fight to the death, the thief did not get useful information, and the witch should not disclose it after being arrested. The other party did not know his progress in the new power system, and there might be a turning point. As long as he has not studied the content of the stone slab thoroughly, he is not an awakened person, and the other party should not have done anything to him.

But the problem is that my current state does not look like I have not awakened. Akins is an awakened person and should also know what the person who has not completed the fateful event for a long time will look like.

As soon as he thought of this, Luo Ning stretched out his hand and stood up on the calloused hand.

"It hasn't been completely cracked yet. In fact, my condition is already very bad. Now you see only the way I look after disguise, in order not to scare the residents of the town. You know I am a teacher and a doctor and must contact the town people frequently."

Akins was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.

Ronin ignored Akins's expression and walked to the bedroom door.

"Wait a minute, I'll let you see what I really look like, and I hope you won't scare you."

Entering the bedroom, standing in front of the mirror, Ronin quickly portrayed the ritual magic: withered patterns, while whispering the magical chanting spell.

In about ten seconds, I was extremely old in the mirror, with my teeth falling off, my hair was sparse and pale, and my skin was covered with wrinkles, like a centenarian.

Just as he was about to turn around and walk out of the bedroom, Akins walked in.

Luo Ning deliberately made a gesture of silence and pointed to Donina who was taking a nap on the bed.

Akins glanced at the girl on the bed, stood there and looked at the extremely old young man, with a look of disappointment and reluctance, and turned around and went out after a moment.

Luo Ning slowly went out and closed the bedroom door, walked to the desk tremblingly and sat down and panted.

"Look, this is the real me. I am only twenty years old... Because the damn stone slab content has become what it is now, I don't know what it will become in the future."

Atkins obviously suddenly lost all his patience and waved his hand.

"Okay, I have to leave. I hope I can hear your good news later and study the content of the stone slabs and return to normal. Then you have to notify me in advance and you will replace De Jong's position in the Black Iron Army."

Luo Ning watched Akins push the door and lead the guards away with her breath, breathing a sigh of relief.

Ritual Magic: Withering is really useful when it comes to use.

Moreover, this commander has good acting skills. He has obviously caught the witch and knows that he is the witch's companion, but he still has not killed himself at this moment. The purpose should be to wait for himself to awaken, and then kill himself and get the fate card, and by the way, he numb himself, making himself think that the witch has not been captured.

Sitting on a chair until the movement on the street disappeared, Luo Ning's withered state disappeared, she got up and walked to the window and opened the corner of the curtain and looked at it. The street was deserted and the black iron army had already left.

The residents in the town are still hiding at home because they are afraid of the Black Iron Army.

Looking back at the corpse on the ground, walked up to check it carefully, then moved the corpse outside the house and dragged it into an abandoned house in the town.

When he returned to the room, Luo Ning felt that the territory of the Black Iron Army could no longer stay. At least Hongqiu Town was not good, so he had to change the place as soon as possible.

Of course, before changing places, you must first go to Crow Town and return Mr. Tersu's books.

Now it has become the target of the Black Iron Army, and we cannot offend the money trust. After all, the Church of Order is over, and the Brotherhood of Destiny is too weak. No one provides strong identity protection for itself. It can be foreseen that the future will be even more sad and must be treated with caution.

In addition, we have to help Franklin solve the problem of its peers' mutations.

Anyway, I have to go to Crow Town no matter what!
