Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 114 I'm going to kill you

After enduring so much at No. 6 Narcissus Street, Ms. M finally bared her fangs. She didn't wait for Luze to fully digest the "Listener's" potion before she began to stir.

"Go with you? Where to?"

Lu Ze feigned wariness and asked.

In truth, he knew that Ms. M's body could no longer hold on, and that taking him away was a way to perform a ritual to devour him and thus obtain his body.

Cecilia, standing to the side, looked over with a tense expression, her hands clenched tightly under the table, her knuckles pale.

"Don't you already know?"

Ms. M smiled and countered. By this point, she was no longer going to hide anything. "Stand up, don't waste time."

Her eyes gleamed with a captivating golden light, and her voice carried an undeniable power. Under the influence of this voice, Lu Ze's body involuntarily obeyed, rising from the sofa.

"Lu Ze!"

Cecilia whispered.

"do not come."

Lu Ze's body was out of control, so he stopped his sister with a look, implying that now was not the time to make a move.

The illusory sound of the ocean waves soon rang out, and he regained control of his body, but still pretended to struggle, saying to Ms. M, "At least let my sister go, otherwise, whatever you want to do, I will fight back with all my might."

"Okay."

Ms. M said with a smile, as if she didn't care at all, or as if she had no intention of keeping her promise.

Lu Ze didn't believe she would keep her promise at all. He was only saying these things to put on a show of struggling and resisting, so as to prevent Ms. M from noticing anything amiss.

He didn't plan to fight here because the Klein family lived next door, and making a commotion would definitely get him noticed. Even if he could defeat Ms. M, he wouldn't be able to stay on night watch. The place Ms. M had chosen was very secluded, and being there would make her lower her guard.

Goodbye, Cecilia. Take care of yourself from now on.

He spoke softly to his sister, making a gesture of farewell. However, the siblings had already planned it. After Luze left, Cecilia would secretly follow, sneak into the house prepared by Ms. M, and find an opportunity to assassinate her.

Lu Ze followed Ms. M out of the door of No. 6 Narcissus Street. By then, it was already dark. He glanced at his first home in this world, then at the warmly lit glass of No. 2 next door, and turned to walk into the darkness.

Inside a building in the East District.

The floor was covered with blood-red patterns, forming a complete magic circle. The circle had two core points, precisely where he and Ms. M were to stand. No lights were on, no candles were lit; only the crimson moonlight shone in, reflecting off the bright red and blasphemous patterns on the floor, creating an eerie atmosphere.

"Drink it."

Ms. M took out a bottle of liquid from somewhere and showed it to Lu Zedao.

"Is this a hermit's potion?"

Luze glanced at the bottle, sensing something ominous within it. Cecilia had been running errands for Ms. M recently, and the materials she collected were likely for making this. However, Luze didn't know the effects of this potion; the "Mystic's" knowledge of potions didn't include any information about it.

“I said, drink it.”

Ms. M's tone became more forceful, and her eyes showed urgency.

"Hmm, shall we drink it or not?"

Lu Ze laughed provocatively, now completely uninhibited. Ever since Ms. M arrived in Tingen, he had been coerced by her, and now that he was finally free, given his despicable nature, he naturally wanted to get his revenge!
Ms. M gave him a cold look.

"Ugh!" A sharp pain shot through Lu Ze's abdomen; Ms. M's flesh was tormenting his internal organs. He was in so much pain he couldn't straighten up, but a contemptuous smile remained on his face as he looked up at her, refusing to back down.

"Luze Rondor, have you finally gone mad?"

His attitude greatly displeased Ms. M, so she increased the force several times over and asked in a pleasant yet cruel voice.

"Ahhh!"

Lu Ze began to writhe in pain, rolling on the ground, scratching the floor with his nails until his nail beds cracked and bled, and biting the back of his hand until it was covered in blood and the skin was torn and bleeding, but he still couldn't stop.

"Don't forget, your sister's life is still in my hands."

Ms. M didn't stop torturing him until he collapsed to the ground, unable to move. She bent down and gently picked him up like a mother would a fallen child, stroking his handsome but pale face and bringing the bottle to his lips.

"Drink it, and you won't feel so much pain."

She spoke seductively, her eyes gleaming with golden light.

So Lu Ze, like an obedient child, obediently opened his mouth and leaned in.
Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ms. M with utter malice.

"You drink it yourself."

Lu Ze said that he spat a piece of bloody flesh from his mouth and it fell onto Ms. M.

"Inspiration!"

His mouth was covered in blood, his face was deathly pale, only his eyes were brimming with malice, and he shouted out mysterious words in ancient Hermes.

The Sage's Seal!

He pulled out the human skin talisman hidden under the back of his hand while pretending to struggle, and put it in his mouth. At extremely close range, he released it unexpectedly.

Lu Ze had already infused it with spirituality beforehand. He then uttered the activation incantation, and the human skin talisman began to collapse and dissolve in mid-air, eventually turning into pure energy that entered Ms. M's head!
In an instant, a pair of cold, eyelash-less eyes seemed to open in the void.

"Ah!"

Ms. M clutched her head with both hands, letting out a piercing scream. The Hidden Sage watched her, a massive amount of knowledge being forcibly poured into her brain. Her ears grew like trumpets, stretching out to both sides as if to receive more information, and her hair and nails grew wildly!

Lu Ze got up from the ground, glanced indifferently at Ms. M, and then pulled out a silver ceremonial dagger.

He raised the knife, pulled open his clothes to expose his stomach, aimed it at his abdomen, and stabbed it in hard!

"Well!"

Lu Ze groaned softly, his expression pained. Yet, he still strained to keep his eyes wide open, searching inside his abdomen. Soon, the Secret Qi Man's eyes revealed an abnormality somewhere within his abdomen. He gritted his teeth, plunged the knife in again to widen the wound, then reached in and viciously tore out a piece of flesh covered in fine black hair.

"Pfft-"

Flesh and blood were torn out, making disgusting noises.

The flesh and blood of Ms. M buried inside him!
Taking advantage of the lull in her spell, Lu Ze finally had a chance to pull out that damned thing!
"Snapped!"

Lu Ze slammed the still-wriggling lump of flesh onto the ground, then stomped on it hard, grinding it back and forth until it turned into a meat pie.

"I'm going to kill you, you crazy woman."

He covered his slowly healing wound and made this announcement to Ms. M, who was still howling.
