Chapter 1075 Carter in the Book

Yinmingzi returned to Kanae's room, where a group of people, including Prince William, surrounded two large medical beds.

Among those surrounding him were servants brought by the British royal family, and the rest were members of the Six-Eyed Cult who had come with Yin Mingzi, as well as some allies with ambiguous stances.

"Has His Highness Carter woken up?" Yin Mingzi walked through the crowd. Carter, who was lying on the bed wearing a serious and rigid white mask, looked at her upon hearing her voice.

"You're awake? How are you? Did you kill him?" Yin Mingzi asked.

“No.” Carter shook his head, looking around at the crowd in a daze.

He knew he was dreaming, and he knew that this world was not fake, but real, because the eyebrowless woman in front of him proved this to him after he first dreamed of this world.

They can foresee the future...

Although the group claimed that he wasn't from that world, but had simply traveled from this dangerous and supernatural world into a book to play a role, Carter still felt more at ease with the reality he was in when he woke up.

Although they say he is a prince of some secret British royal family in this extraordinary world, he identifies more with his identity as a rich second-generation in the waking world than with the completely unreal prince identity.

When he was lucid... of course they say that wasn't lucidity, it was just in the book, but for Carter, he was lucid then, and all his feelings and experiences were real.

At the age of twenty-two, he had this strange dream for the first time. He dreamt that he was a prince in a world full of extraordinary elements.

But such a family is not something to envy. Although Meng's memories are now blurred, he still remembers that it was a mentally deformed and perverse family with an inescapable curse of killing each other among close relatives.

Compared to this kind of life, he was naturally closer to his identity in the world he was awake with, so he did not follow the instructions of the so-called "acquaintances" in this world at all at first.

Until they showed him a portrait, a portrait of a beautiful young lady.

He had never met her in reality, but deep down he felt an instant connection with her, and he clearly remembered that in his first dream, the woman in the portrait was a maidservant who had been passed down through generations in his family.

Many details about that period of his life have faded with the passage of time when he was lucid, but his feelings for the maid and for Alice remained like a seed buried deep in his heart.

When Yin Mingzi showed him the portrait, his heart was suddenly stirred. Suddenly, this extraordinary world became alluring. Even the detestable family background and status of the royal family could no longer resist the woman in the portrait.

For Alice's sake, he began doing things in the waking world that benefited the dream world, to the point that—he began to commit crimes!
Carter believed that as long as he was determined to make the effort, he would get what he wanted.

But in his latest operation, he realized just how terrifying the enemy he was facing was.

"He failed? That was expected. So, what's his situation over there now?" Yin Mingzi asked, as the Six-Eyed Cult members beside her began to take notes.

"I hired a group of assassins from Annam, which is on the border of China, and Lao Ya went there. Although the laws there prohibit the possession of guns, I still asked professionals to make simple electrically activated weapons to increase the probability of assassination."

Before taking action, we scouted the location many times and thoroughly understood their daily habits.

We decided to launch this operation while their child was away, because fewer people meant less chance of alerting the assassins, and those assassins didn't want to die in China. If the murders were discovered, neither I nor they would be able to escape the country. Our plan was to kill Xia Shou and his wife without anyone knowing, and then, before their bodies were discovered, escape abroad through pre-prepared channels.

So, after selecting a location where only the two of them were home, the hitmen I hired made their move, after all the lights were turned off in the middle of the night.

At this point, Carter took a deep breath. He seemed to be in a heavy mood, but because he was wearing a mask, no one could tell what his expression was.

Carter said, "Those guys are all very professional. Their lock-picking skills are far superior to those of petty thieves. They won't make a sound."

Logically, I should have received good news of the successful assassination soon, but half an hour passed and my phone remained silent. Even the channel I used for remote communication was jammed and unusable.

I was waiting in the stairwell of the building across the street, where I could see it.

There was no sound at all, and the windows remained dark, but there was no sound of fighting either. Of course, I know that in reality, there shouldn't be any sound of fighting in this kind of situation, and the assassins confidently assured me that it would be over in a moment.

But... nothing happened, the lights didn't turn on, and no one came out of the building's entrance.

But so much time had passed that I had a very bad feeling! But I… *sigh*…

Carter lowered his head, raised his hand and pressed it against his mask, as if trying to cover his face.

Then he shook his head and said, "Then I suddenly heard a very, very faint sound coming from the direction of the stairs behind me!"

The sound was like dust on the ground being gently blown by the wind; you couldn't hear it unless you listened carefully, and even if you did, it sounded like a hallucination.

But suddenly, I don't know what I was thinking, I just had a very bad feeling, so I climbed out of the window and hung on the windowsill with both hands.

Because you said that if we really encountered Natsume, we should commit suicide immediately rather than be killed by him, that's why I risked climbing out of the window and hanging myself in such a dangerous place.

Then I saw that the red-haired woman was carrying a kitchen knife, barefoot, and slowly walking up the stairs!
She didn't take the elevator; she walked up the stairs, and she wasn't wearing shoes—she was barefoot, which is why she didn't make a sound!
As I just mentioned, I've been keeping an eye on the building across the street, but no one has come out of the main entrance. So this woman must have gone downstairs and walked directly from the underground parking garage to my building!

Moreover... my men had already infiltrated their apartment, but she came out instead, and the lights in their apartment building were never turned on the entire time. Thinking back on it, I realized that she did it in the dark.

I don't know how they did it. They should all be asleep, and even if they weren't, I sent out five professional assassins! Five! You said that world doesn't have superpowers!

How could something like that happen without superpowers?
Am I supposed to kill Mr. and Mrs. Smith?!

"Brother, calm down, there's nothing to be surprised about, is there?" William said.

Yin Mingzi patted Carter on the shoulder: "William, have some understanding for your brother. His thought process is just that of an ordinary person. In that kind of society, it's already quite remarkable that he could muster the courage to plan a murder."

"Your Highness Carter, please continue. I think this isn't over yet, is it?"
