Chapter 211 Soul Hunter

"Good morning, Lula." Janos put down the cup and looked at Lucian.

“Good morning, father,” Lucian responded. However, with his [Mind Reading] talent, he could clearly see that Janos’ body seemed to be covered by a layer of black filter, rendering his entire body black, making him look as if he was wearing a layer of horror filter.

If you look closely, you can even see a hint of scarlet hidden beneath the surging black.

Malice, and very strong malice!

Lucian tried his best to stabilize his emotions in his mind so that his expression would appear normal. He quickly controlled Lula to sit down in his seat, then lowered his head and tried to shift his attention from Janos to the food in front of him.

However, when cutting a piece of smoked sausage, Lucian was a little nervous and used too much force. The knife hit the plate with some force, making a loud noise and attracting the attention of several people nearby.

"Why are you so careless?" Janos' attitude seemed no different from usual. He picked up his knife and took the opportunity to explain the dining etiquette to Lula again, as if he was a truly kind father. However, the black aura lingering around him was so strong that even Lucian could hardly ignore it.

He quietly glanced at several servants, two "brothers" and the "mother" nearby, and found that the emotions of these characters seemed very normal, and were mainly "friendly" and "close".

Only the emotional color of "Second Brother Carol"'s body had a slight light black airflow, but that airflow did not bring any sense of danger to Lucian. Combined with the bright yellow color of his body, which represented high spirits, Lucian easily guessed that he was planning some harmless prank.

Koyanos...

Lucian lowered his head slightly. At this moment, he had the urge to use his [Mind Reading] talent to read Janos's true thoughts, but he was also worried that if Janos could sense his "mind reading" ability, it would aggravate the crisis he was facing.

For example, Janos is actually played by a "player", and he happens to have items or means to defend against mind reading or mind control. So when he realizes that his mind is being read, he will definitely take more drastic measures to deal with it, or even... find an opportunity to kill himself directly during the day.

Thinking of this, Lucian suppressed his inner impulse, while also thinking about the various speculations that Janos had strong malice towards him.

Was it because [Janos] was dissatisfied with [Lula]? For example, he suddenly found that the top of his head had changed color or something? Or did he find out from some channel that I was the real murderer behind the murder in the library?
Lucian thought about this, but all of them seemed a bit far-fetched. After all, if this was the case, then there was no need for Janos to continue playing the role of a loving father in front of a child, and Lula's mother would not be as calm as she was just now...

Then... it must be the malicious intent coming from the identity of [Yanos].

Lucian silently picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. At this time, he was more than 70% sure that the identity of [Yanos] was also played by a player.

Was it lightning? Or was it a player who accidentally noticed something was wrong with him?
Thoughts flashed through Lucian's mind one after another. At one point, his right hand even reached for his storage ring, thinking about the possibility of killing [Yanos] directly through a sneak attack.

But Lucian soon gave up the idea. After all, if he killed Yanos as [Lula], it would lead to extremely bad consequences. Even [Lula] would be directly executed by other guards of the Mentel family...

Even if he is not executed, this act of killing the "closest relatives" of the character he plays is definitely a serious violation of what the character should do, and may attract the attention of the dream rules or even punishment.

Lucian guessed that the player who played the role of Janos probably had similar concerns as himself and therefore did not attack him directly.

What's more, it is very difficult to rely on the power of [Lula] to kill Yanos. After all, Yanos is a powerful saint-level awakener. His talent in manipulating fire is comparable to that of a first-level wizard, and he is also proficient in knight fighting skills.

Even if he did not use his extraordinary talents, with his excellent physical fitness and skilled combat skills, even a dozen well-trained soldiers would not be able to kill Janos in a short time.

And when he knew that he was suspected of being a player and that he had strong ill will towards him, the player playing as Yanos would definitely be wary of [Lula]. In this case, there was no possibility of a successful sneak attack, and he might even give the other party a reason to execute him in a fair manner.

Lucian lowered his head, chewing his food carefully while thinking quickly about a feasible plan. "Killing Janos is definitely a lose-lose situation for me. After all, without my father's protection, [Lura] will inevitably suffer a strong impact, and my life trajectory will also change greatly. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't choose this path."

Lucian put down the knife and noticed from the corner of his eye that Yanos had finished breakfast and left. He couldn't help but speed up his eating. At the same time, he raised his head and looked at Yanos, who was emitting a strong black aura.

"The best way is to get rid of the player's real body. My biggest advantage now is that he doesn't know that I have discovered his identity. I must make good use of this information gap. Perhaps this is the key factor that can turn the situation around for me."

……

Night fell again, and Lucian quickly separated himself from Lula's identity. At the same time, he took out the feather pen from the storage ring and added three drops of special golden ink to it.

Then Lucian took out a piece of white paper and prepared to write a new law on it. However, when Lucian waved the feather pen with some difficulty, he found that he did not leave any useful words on the white paper.

"Two-legged hairy monster, stop wasting your energy. You have already written a 'law' before. You cannot write a second law before it is consumed." The voice of Count Sanasis sounded in Lucian's mind, causing Lucian to stop what he was doing.

“What a pity.” Lucian shook his head helplessly. He had originally thought that he could gain a significant advantage by writing a highly targeted “law”, but after hearing Count Sanasis’s reminder, he was reluctant to destroy the original “law” that was used to save his life.

"Also, I want to remind you not to change the rules too frequently, as this will attract some unnecessary attention." Earl Sanasis said in a deep voice, "Also, every time you 'twist' the rules, it is a provocation to the rules, so next time you twist the rules again, you will have to pay a greater price."

Lucian couldn't help but frown as he listened to Count Thanasis' explanation. But then his brows slowly relaxed and he let out a breath. "Yes, if it was so easy to bend the rules every time, given the difficulty of obtaining ink, I'm afraid that this world would have been twisted into a weird place by many players long ago."

"It's good that you know. After all, you don't have the strength like me..." Count Sanasis muttered, as if he wanted to brag about himself, but he was strongly suppressed by the dream world. He yawned halfway through his words, and his voice gave people a feeling of abnormal tiredness.

"Thanasis, do you have any good suggestions?" Lucian seized the opportunity and quickly asked for advice from Count Thanasis, the "local".

The only response to Lucian was the deliberate snoring of Count Thanasis.

The corners of Lucian's mouth twitched twice, but he understood that this was Count Sanasis's way of hiding his helplessness. Now he could only think of a solution himself.

"Hmm? Someone is coming?" Lucian suddenly realized something, and he quickly merged with the identity of [Lula]. However, he did not control Lula to wake up from his sleep. Instead, he waited silently, and at the same time he was ready to activate the law he had written before at any time.

As the door handle was gently pushed open, Lucian saw a dark blue "octopus" walk into the room.

“Soul Hunter!” Lucian’s consciousness couldn’t help but tremble slightly, because there were records of this special life form in the Gray Bone Academy’s collection of books. Lucian had also seen some records of this creature when he was looking through books related to the goblin clan.

However, according to the records in those books, this extremely evil life had long been extinct in the wizarding world, and only a very small number of wizards still kept specimens of this creature. But he didn't expect that he could find a living soul hunter in the dream world!
You know, this evil creature called Soul Hunter, their staple food is the souls of humans or other humanoid intelligent life! They rely on devouring the souls of these intelligent species to improve themselves and even reproduce.

They can even use some special "cooking methods" to select some souls from the souls they "eat" to become their clones, obtain some of those souls' memories, fighting methods and emotions when they were alive, and let them continue to live disguised as victims, lasting for 5 to 15 years.

It can be said that soul hunters are the natural enemies of intelligent creatures such as humans. It is for this reason that almost all intelligent species will consciously encircle and suppress these horrible soul hunters, causing them to eventually go extinct.

But now, this evil, extinct creature appeared before Lucian as an opponent, and was approaching step by step!
