Chapter 501 It’s more fun to be a bad guy
Stone Castle.
In the hotel room where Pete and others hid.
There is nothing wrong with using the word "hiding" to describe it.
After all, what they are tinkering with here is not some normal power, but a devilish magic that will be condemned by almost everyone once it is discovered!
It really took five people a lot of effort to clean up the scene.
That unique pigment is extremely difficult to clean.
Let alone splashing water to clean it.
Later, Brandon even squatted on the ground with his butt sticking out and scraping it down a little bit with a knife, but it didn't work!
It's easy to scrape off a little bit of debris and powder, which is what Reina did in the secret room at that time.
But want to scrape it all off?
Unfortunately, this thing is like the pattern on the rock floor, growing in the veins of the stone.
In the end, a thin layer of obvious black and red magic circle pattern can still be left on the ground.
The knife in Brandon's hand is almost scratched with sparks!
This is a unique feature of the devil's magic after it is drawn into a magic circle.
In order to prevent the effect of the magic circle from being affected, the paint used for painting on it is difficult to erase or clean by ordinary means.
It was really forced.
Everyone had to work hard to make a miracle.
Clang, bang, bang!
The floor where the magic circle was located in the whole room was knocked open and broken!
If the paint can't be wiped off, then tear down the floor that carries the paint!
Afterwards, compensate the hotel owner for the money to repair the floor.
After solving the problem of the magic circle, the pungent sulfur smell in the air made everyone even more headache.
Conventional devil spells, except for [Soul Extraction], most of the time will not produce such an obvious smell of hell sulfur.
This time it was mainly because the shadow of Rafi Gunasius stayed in the room for a long time, and the sulfur smell brought by the devil was so mellow and authentic.
Standard hell flavor, just like really arriving in the Nine Hells.
The ventilation of the rooms in the dwarf hotel is quite poor. Except for a few luxurious rooms "near the street" that have a small hole in the mountain wall as a window, the other rooms inside the mountain basically rely on a common "pipeline" on the ceiling for ventilation.
If this sulfur smell spreads out, everyone will know that there is a warlock in this hotel.
In order to cast more spells and support their devil masters, the devil's contractors need to use [Soul Extraction] to extract some fresh souls and make [Soul Fragments].
In this process, a very strong sulfur smell will be emitted.
So much so that this has basically become a signature feature for identifying warlocks.
If your next-door neighbor emits a pungent sulfur smell from the basement every two or three days, then you have to be careful when you sleep, beware of being extracted into [Soul Fragments] by the other party in your sleep.
In order to eliminate the impact of the sulfur smell as much as possible, Pete and his team finally had to take ruthless action.
Anyway, the floor has been broken, and it's better to pay for one or a lot!
Just pile some flammable materials in the room and set it on fire!
The easiest way to cover up a problem is to cover it up with a more obvious and serious problem.
Create a fire artificially!
When the billowing smoke is choking, use the prepared clean water to put out the fire.
The smell of sulfur is successfully covered up.
…
On the way to the Hope Carpet again.
Reina has been [stealth] since she left the hotel and has not stayed with Pete and the others.
She needs to create an appearance that the two sides have nothing to do with each other and do not know each other.
Otherwise, what if there are other black-robed people in the dark on the way and happen to remember her? Wasn't it that the dwarf who exposed his identity was discovered by Reina by chance?
If he hadn't just had a quarrel with Pete and the two sides passed by, Pete and the others might have missed this extremely important clue.
The same is true in reverse.
If the dwarf had been more cautious and hadn't done anything that might attract attention or resentment, he wouldn't have unknowingly led the "enemy" to his home.
Reina has always been very good at being cautious.
She would try to eliminate all possible loopholes.
Walking on the road, Brandon suddenly sighed inexplicably.
"It's still more fun to be a bad guy!"
"Huh?" Pete and Gale both looked at Brandon with some confusion.
They didn't understand what this guy was talking about.
Brandon explained as a matter of course: "Think about it!"
"Before this, we were afraid to do anything."
"We didn't dare to kill those black-robed men directly, because we wouldn't get any clues."
"Knockout, kidnapping, imprisonment and other methods that don't hurt their lives are not effective either. They will alert the other party and may cause them to commit suicide directly. Moreover, we don't seem to have clear evidence to prove that those black-robed men are not good people. We may even be slandered and framed by them, right?"
"In the eyes of others, we seem to be the evil ones."
"These dangerous guys are much better hidden than the thugs of the Blood Fang Gang. We can't catch their handles openly!"
"Good people have to be restricted in various ways."
"Bad guys don't have to worry so much!"
"Now we can rush in and put the dwarf sack. If he knows what's interesting, he will tell us the clues we want to know honestly."
"If he doesn't know what's interesting, Reina can also use [Soul Extraction] to torture his soul, so there's no need to worry about him committing suicide."
"The most important thing is! We have a reasonable reason!"
"We can pretend that we don't know anything about the black-robed man and that Reina killed him simply to complete the devil's mission."
"As long as we put the blame on the warlock and the devil who have a bad reputation, it will seem so reasonable!"
Miranda heard this, although she tried hard to maintain a serious expression, she still laughed a little.
After laughing, Miranda cleared her throat and reminded him seriously:
"I have to warn you, your views are starting to get dangerous, Brandon Robert."
"Although we can use extraordinary means in extraordinary times, we can deal with evil people who are more evil than him."
"But this does not mean that we can ignore the rules, act recklessly, or even ignore taboos."
"Both the correct result and the correct process are important. If you do whatever it takes to pursue the result, you may be close to being bewitched, polluted, and transformed by the evil gods of the void."
"Praying to the evil gods for power is undoubtedly the fastest way, but... are you willing to do that?"
Brandon shrank his neck: "Ahem!"
"I know, I know, don't worry, I'm not so unscrupulous, I just said that sometimes being less just seems to do more."
"That's natural," Miranda affirmed, "but the scale in between must be grasped, otherwise, it's better not to try it easily!"
...
There's more in the evening! There's more!
