Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

As for why, he didn't know either, maybe it was intuition...

He went on, trying not to keep to the main road but to follow the path between the dense trees.

The road was surrounded by weeds and dense trees. After the rain, some small flying insects immediately came out, making his bare feet itchy as they slid across the weeds.

Finally, after a while, he saw the men in black again.

Their speed increased a lot, and Wei Lan had to quicken his pace as well.

Come to think of it, are there hunters in this forest? Or are there people walking around, otherwise how could there be two paths like this?

But... he observed the grass on both sides of the path and found that it was indeed slowly spreading towards the center of the road, and it didn't look like anyone was walking there often.

Perhaps there were people there in the past, but now they have all moved away, resulting in this road being often deserted and overgrown with weeds again.

"Fuck, where did this guy go?!"

Suddenly someone in front cursed loudly, and Wei Lan reacted instantly. He hid behind the dense bushes and looked forward.

Only then did they realize that they had reached the end. Well, it wasn’t really the end, but the path had disappeared, and there were only countless lush weeds ahead.

"Speaking of which, who on earth is that man? He's so powerful. There are corpses all over the road here. And I always feel like there's something strange about that man."

"You think all of us who came here have been killed?"

"Haha - what a joke!!" said another masked man.

"He killed 30 of our 26 people by himself? Even when the Lord comes, he will have to react."

Wei Lan listened carefully for a while and decided to ignore them and go find someone himself.

This guy had been injured before. If he really killed so many people, he would probably be more injured.

He was about to turn around and walk away quietly when he suddenly heard them say:

"By the way, why haven't we seen that woman? Is she dead?"

Wei Lan thought to himself that this woman must be talking about him.

One of the masked men looked around to see if there were any traces. As he checked, he said:

"Who knows? But the client said that we don't need to worry about him for now. We must kill that man first. No matter what, we must kill him first!"

"?" Wei Lan paused for a moment. The affirmative word in his sentence meant that he must kill the man first.

Why must Louis be killed first?

These people must be related to the Queen and others, but why must Louis be killed first?

If they think this guy is his backer, that's impossible. Louis doesn't have much power and influence at all now.

It would be better to kill him first.

Just when he was at a loss,

"Ahhhh——!!!" A scream that broke the sky was heard, startling all the birds around, which chirped.

"what happened?!"

The man in black in front of Wei Lan immediately became alert:

"That sounds like Lilu's voice!"

"Did they find that man?! Let's go check it out!"

As they were talking, they raised their feet and ran towards the source of the sound. In a few seconds, they ran a long distance away. Wei Lan quickly followed.

Running in the soft mud in the forest was indeed not very friendly. When he finally caught up with the two men, the two men in black ran up the mountain road ahead.

He was wondering why these people were running up the mountain.

Just as Wei Lan withdrew his sight from the two of them running up, he saw a dead body beneath the heavy tree trunks.

He was startled and moved closer. The corpse was indeed one of theirs. It seemed to be the person who had just screamed.

Wei Lan also glanced at the cliff. It seemed that someone had fallen from it and died. He quickly ran up the mountain road again.

After a while, I saw the two men again. They seemed to be very alert. They looked at each other and observed something in front of them.

Wei Lan also jumped forward, only to find a shabby little house on the other side of the mountain top.

The thatch on top was almost half broken by years of wind and rain, and some of the stone bricks of the small windows on the wall had also fallen off. It seemed as if the whole house could fall down with a single blow.

There is actually such a shabby little house here?

Wei Lan sighed, remembering that when he was a child he often wished that it would be nice to build a small house in the wild, and then if he wanted to eat vegetables he could just plant some around his house.

When he thought of this, he discovered that there were indeed some traces of cultivated land in front of the dilapidated house.

But it has almost become a wilderness, covered with various weeds, and it is only slightly different from the surrounding areas.

I guess it was the house of a hunter in the wild, but now this dilapidated house is definitely uninhabited.

And in front of that area was the body of another person.

Wei Lan frowned. He had seen so many corpses today that it felt a bit unlucky.

"Should we... go up?" one of the masked men asked the other with some fear.

The other person was also a little shocked, and the corpse in front of him was also killed with one blow.

"Be conservative. We'll wait for someone to come."

The two people reached a consensus and began to look for a place to hide.

Wei Lan became a little anxious when he saw them like this, thinking, if you guys hide, what should I do?

Can't advance or retreat.

It didn't take them long to run over here, so Louis was probably still nearby. There were bloodstains in some places along the way, and those bloodstains were probably his.

What if he has actually fainted in front?

These two people can wait for the signal of reinforcement here, but he can't. Louis is probably seriously injured.

If he continues to stay here and do nothing, no one will come to collect his corpses.

Wei Lan thought about it and decided to bypass this location through the jungle and go straight back.

Normally in this situation he would step on a piece of wood, making a noise, and then be discovered.

But fortunately, it was raining now so it shouldn't rain. He lifted his skirt and started to walk around them as far away from them as possible before starting to move forward.

This was probably a higher mountain in the forest. When he was looking down at that time, if he went around this side, there was another continuous mountain range.

This place is probably the easternmost border of the Rose Empire.

What country is next to this...?

He didn't think about it too much. After going around it, he went straight to the back of the small dilapidated house, which was a few dozen meters away. Going down here was the way down the mountain.

But he found that there was no way down there, and the slope was so steep that if he slipped he would roll down to see God.

The trees growing sideways are also dim.

It had rained, and the road would have been even more slippery if it hadn't been for the grass and criss-crossed tree roots.

Wei Lan just took a look and decided not to go down. He didn't believe that Louis could fly.

Even if I roll down, there will still be a shadow.

He turned his head, wondering if Louis was in this shabby little house, when he suddenly heard another scream from behind:

“Ahhh! Don’t come over here, help, ahhhhh——!”
