149: The Ultimate Secret of the Meng Jie Sequence
Chapter 149: The Ultimate Meaning of the Dream Rogue Sequence
At the same time, on the ground, Sena was crying profusely, trembling as she begged for mercy, "Un, Uncle, I am Fama Lawrence's daughter, you can't kill me..."
"If you kill me, my father definitely won't let you go. He will mobilize everything to hunt you down to the ends of the earth..."
Hearing Sena's words, the four lackeys were all stunned for a moment, but soon burst into laughter. This was the stupidest joke they had heard this year.
"Hahaha, do you know who Fama Lawrence is? He is the Grand Master of the Adventurers Guild in the Toya Empire..."
"This guy who lies without batting an eye is killing me! To be able to say such ridiculous things, hahaha..."
"Boss, did you hear that? We actually robbed Grand Master Lawrence's daughter, this is big trouble!"
The mockery was incessant; no one believed Sena's words, treating it as a clumsy bluff that would crumble with a single poke.
Duncan and his group were originally operating in the Toya Empire, so naturally, they had heard of Fama Lawrence's great name and even knew him quite well.
Anyone who's been around knows that the renowned Grand Master had a son late in life, who is not even ten years old yet. How could he suddenly have a daughter in her twenties?
Furthermore, Fama Lawrence is a powerful Human Butcher. In his early years, he joined the army and killed over ten thousand people on the battlefield.
But what about Sena?
She's just someone who cries uncontrollably and wets herself when slightly scared, utterly cowardly, completely unrelated to that Human Butcher Fama!
"Boss, you know we've been in this line of work for so long, this is the first time we've seen someone who treats us like fools..."
"This is too interesting. I'm really curious what other interesting nonsense she might say if we give her a few cuts..."
Two lackeys walked over slowly, a cruel smile on their faces.
Out of professional ethics as robbers, Duncan and his group generally only stole money and wouldn't do anything extra. When killing, they would make it quick.
Unless... they encountered someone like Sena.
"Ah, ah, ah... don't come over, my father won't let you off, ah ah..."
Sena was terrified, now becoming incoherent, and her pants were completely soaked.
Lieta, not far away, was much calmer. Driven by the desire to survive, her brain worked rapidly and quickly found a solution.
"Hey," Lieta shouted, attracting the attention of all the lackeys. "Sena isn't lying, she really is Grand Master Lawrence's daughter!"
The lackeys didn't believe her, and a sharp dagger was already pressed against Sena's chest.
"Heh, another one gone mad."
"Stupid woman, after we're done with her, it'll be your turn!"
Seeing this, Lieta shouted again, "I can provide evidence to prove Sena's identity!"
As soon as she said this, the lackeys who were about to torment Sena froze in place, exchanged glances, and then simultaneously looked up at Duncan on the ancient tree.
As the boss, Duncan held absolute authority and was the only backbone of the team.
However, Duncan didn't speak. He didn't even look down at the people on the ground.
The silence lasted for ten seconds. Lieta was incredibly nervous, worried that Duncan wouldn't buy it.
But how could that be? Fama Lawrence's reputation was extremely loud in the Toya Empire, holding very high prestige in both the underworld and the legitimate world.
Unless this Duncan was a desperate madman, he would definitely not risk angering Fama by forcibly killing Sena.
The silence continued. Duncan stood on the ancient tree, looking straight ahead, not saying a word.
At this point, the four lackeys below began to feel strange. When had their boss ever been so aloof?
Just as the lackeys were about to ask, Duncan's body suddenly tilted forward and then fell from the tree.
Thud!
His head hit the ground heavily with a dull thud. Duncan's head split open like a watermelon, and red and white matter burst out, splattering everywhere.
"Bo, Boss!"
The lackeys' eyes were about to split, and they all cried out in alarm, unable to believe the scene they were witnessing.
Their proud boss, a level 51 Archer, actually died tragically right before their eyes in such an inexplicable way?
In an extremely tragic yet plain and simple manner.
Sorrow surged in their hearts, constantly fermenting. The four lackeys subconsciously walked forward, wanting to see what had happened to their boss.
Even after witnessing such a horrific sight, they didn't believe Duncan was dead.
Just as the lackeys approached, the lying Duncan suddenly 'propped' himself up. He was like a human-shaped spider, supporting himself on the ground with his limbs in a bizarre manner.
'?!'
The lackeys immediately felt a chill. The grief that had filled their hearts instantly turned into fear. This scene, beyond common sense, was extremely impactful and terrifying.
Duncan... or more accurately, a human-shaped spider, twisted his limbs and hobbled towards the four people.
Along the way, Duncan's cracked head was still continuously leaking red and white fluid, the ground full of filth.
"Bo, Boss, please don't joke around, this... this isn't funny..."
A slightly bolder lackey spoke up to ask, but like the other three, his steps were constantly retreating, not daring to approach the bizarrely postured Duncan at all.
As if hearing the lackey's question, the human-shaped spider stopped. Then, its head turned, and Duncan's blood-stained face looked forward.
"So hungry..."
Duncan mumbled, his tone like a child whining to his mother, but when spoken with his weathered, raspy voice, it sent shivers down their spines.
"Bo... Boss?"
The lackey who had spoken earlier slowly stepped forward. He was the Healer in the team and wanted to examine Duncan's body.
Suddenly, Duncan's eyeballs rolled, then bulged forward and dropped out of their sockets.
And Duncan tilted his head back and opened his mouth, just catching the two falling eyeballs. Then... he started eating them with 'smacking' sounds.
The scene was silent, only Duncan's chewing sounds could be heard.
Not long after, Duncan opened his mouth, and sticky white pulp stretched between his lips and teeth. He said happily, "Delicious, really delicious~"
"Eek!!"
The four lackeys simultaneously let out screams of terror and retreated in unison, wanting to get away from their mutated boss.
The four stepped on Sena's urine stain, stumbled, and immediately let out louder screams. They were clearly scared out of their wits.
"Now!"
Anberer'er, who received Dick's telepathic message, charged forward and directly burrowed into the brain of one of the lackeys, successfully controlling him in less than ten seconds.
Anberer'er's face showed joy. She couldn't believe she had succeeded so easily. Was this really an adventurer close to level fifty?
It was even easier than invading Colin's brain before!
Immediately after, Anberer'er repeated the trick and successfully invaded the brains of the other three lackeys. The speed of control was unbelievably fast.
Anberer'er felt that the heads of these four people were like houses with wide-open doors; she could come and go freely, requiring no effort at all.
"When a person is extremely fearful, although their mental defense doesn't disappear, it completely deforms, becoming the shape most suitable for Nightmare invasion!"
Dick explained as he walked out of the wooden house. His fingers were wrapped with hundreds of magic threads, all connected to Duncan's corpse.
It was Dick who had just turned Duncan into the bizarre human-shaped spider.
This was puppetry, an extremely obscure type of magic that most people hadn't even heard of.
