Game: I'm a Hunter in the Blood Curse World

Chapter 175 I'm sorry, Teacher Leslie

Götze chuckled, unaware that Vann's words were genuine. He nudged Vann's shoulder and said, "Heh! I didn't expect you to be such a sentimental person. If you can retire someday, you should be a troubadour!"

Van En nodded and said, "That's not bad, but I still want to find a quiet place with good scenery to fish and retire."

Speaking of this, Van En suddenly remembered that he still had a bloodfish fishing rod, but unfortunately he hadn't used it yet.

Götze sighed, narrowed his eyes, examined the ruins of Old Stag's Court for a moment, and said softly, "Van, you are a very calculating person. But please believe me, my sister and I, including the Cavill family, have never betrayed Master Doug."

Van En nodded solemnly and said, "I believe in both of you."

Götze narrowed his eyes even more; he understood the meaning behind Vane's words:

I trust you two, but as for the Cavill family, let's leave it at that for now.

Götze didn't care. He noticed the longing in Van's eyes and, remembering his sister's words, whispered in Van's ear, "You probably have other things to do. Just come back before the crescent moon rises."

Van En turned his head to look at Götze, said nothing, and nodded slightly.

After reclaiming the forbidden crown, Vane traveled to Bullhorn.

Götze watched Vann leave, then sat cross-legged on the grass, leaning against the crumbling city wall. Looking at the full moon in the sky, he murmured, "That guy really has no manners at all."

Anona, looking at her hunter's disheveled appearance, frowned and said, "Get up! We still have a mission!"

Götze looked at Anona and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

call out!

A flash of silver light appeared, and Götze, holding Anona's shoulders, dragged her onto the grass, saying, "Don't be so serious! Anona, as a descendant of a Bloodline Hunter, why don't you say anything when you see Vane, a hunter from the Hearst family!"

Anona tilted her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "After all, our Olivett family stood against Master Doug back then, and I really feel a little guilty."

Götze laughed and said, "It's nothing. Your cousin, the leader of the Nineteenth Hunting Group, 'Gunpowder Apostle' Catherine..."

"Didn't they all abandon darkness and embrace the light?"

Anona sighed, pulled away from Götze's hand, and leaned against the city wall to stretch.

She inhaled the fragrance of the surrounding grass and smiled slightly, saying, "It's actually quite nice to be rebellious once in a while."

"Of course!" Götze swung his legs happily and said, "Relax, we just need to cooperate with Vane to handle things here. Your sister, my younger sister, and Bills, that 'rebel,' are all in the city, so everything will be fine."

Anona nodded, gently closed her eyes, and asked, "Are we just going to wait like this? Aren't we going to look for the entrance again?"

Götze tilted his head, glanced at the Pantheon through the cracks in the city wall, and chuckled, "Just wait, Vann will bring the key~"

Götze turned to look at Anona and found that his nun was already asleep.

A smile appeared in his eyes as he took out his trench coat and draped it over Anona, saying with a laugh, "She looks quite cute like Sasha when she was little."

Götze rested his head on his arm, plucked a blade of grass and stuffed it into his mouth. Feeling the gentle breeze around him, he exclaimed, "Tsk! The wind here is so pleasant; no wonder they chose to build the city here in the first place—"

Halfway through his sentence, Götze turned his head to look to his left.

There was a grove of trees, and some faint noises were coming from inside.

Götze chuckled, "Heh! There really are some blind fools who want to test me! Perfect, I'll stretch my muscles!"

"Pooh!"

Götze spat out the grass and transformed into a streak of silver light, rushing into the forest.

Upon arriving in Niujiao Town, Van En discovered that the place offered a great view, directly overlooking the ruins of the Old Deer Court.

The town is small, with only two streets arranged in a grid pattern.

Niujiao Town is a small town that supplies ore to Luting City. It has a population of about 500. At this time of year, the residents are either farming in the fields or working in the mines, so the town is not very populated.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Van En parked the Thorn Crown in a secluded spot and went to the location indicated by the mission's red line:

This is a well-preserved stone house, with vines climbing all over the walls. It looks like no one has been here since Karl left.

Fan En walked along without noticing anyone following him, relying on his ability to see through things. Without hesitation, he took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.

The stone house was covered with a layer of dust, and there was a damp smell in the air. Most of the furniture around was rotten and damaged, and there were some leftover pieces of toast on the stove.

The living room was simply furnished. Judging from the signs of daily life, Vann concluded that Carl's purpose in coming to this mining town was to find the route to the underground ruins of Old Stag's Court.

After scanning the combined living room, kitchen, and dining room with his bright blue eyes, Fan En's gaze settled on the bedroom inside.

Upon entering, Van En was shocked by what he saw.

The bedroom contained only a simple wooden bed, with thick chains fastened to the four corners of the bed.

Van En saw that there were traces of black blood on the chains, and even some dried human skin.

On the four walls of the bedroom, there were scratches made by fingernails, covered with black scabs.

Although it was very messy, Vane could still see that the scratches were twisted characters, most of which contained the same content:

Kill Leslie

Kill Leslie

Kill Leslie

The characters, large and small, densely packed, all conveyed the same meaning, sending a chill down Fan En's spine and filling him with sadness.

Without a doubt, these were all dug out by Karl in his madness, using his beast-like fingernails.

The blood scabs covering the stone walls indicate that Karl didn't stop until he had worn down his beast-like nails and his fingers were raw.

As for the chains on the bed, they were Karl's tools to prevent himself from going mad in his sleep.

Vann recalled that in Mr. Carl's message, he calmly stated that he had gone mad because of his spying on Leslie.

Only then did he realize how much willpower it took for him to control himself.

The beast mark on the back of Vane's hand began to heat up, clearly sensing the peak emotion contained in those phrases.

But at that moment, Vann noticed that in his clairvoyance, some blood-red lines slowly appeared on the crazy phrases on the wall.

He also noticed that his mana was rapidly depleting, and pale blue starlight began to emanate from his eyes, flying towards the blood-red lines.

Vann took a deep breath, knowing that this was the last thing Karl had hidden.

When bystanders see these crazy scribbles, they just frown and look at them for a while before leaving.

Only those who inherit Leslie's mantle can see the hidden information behind it.

Van En calmed himself and waited patiently until he could see the first line of text:

I'm sorry, Professor Leslie. Even if you've become a writhing beast, I will always love and respect you.
