Between life and death [unlimited]

Inspired by Jiang Lai, everyone finally found Jacques's chopped limbs, most of the torso and other parts of the body in this huge garbage dump.

And without exception, these body parts are also hidden in larger containers, together with bright red poppy petals.

Blades stared intently at the broken body that was pieced together like a doll on the ground. He suddenly bent down and carefully held up the head of his young son Jacques, as if he was already trembling with anger. But he didn't scream in pain like before.

Because the good family upbringing that has been engraved in his bones has been silently suppressing him subconsciously.Blades just gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes seemed to be angry but flickered, and the muscles in his jaw just kept shaking.

Just when everyone was wondering if Blades had gone mad with anger, his facial muscles suddenly stopped shaking, and then everyone only heard him talking to them in the same tone just now.

"...Bring the body of the cleaner on the mountain back to the manor."

What Brades was thinking at this time, his subordinates didn't know. Although this order sounded a bit strange, his subordinates still nodded happily.

Then, everyone heard him whisper in a dark tone: "Take it back first, and then find a way to deal with it after I ask the 'New God'...Since he took Jacques' life, then...I will let him In the next lifetime, I will never be able to find peace again..."

Because Jiang Xun is standing very close to Blades now, he also naturally heard the last words that Blades said, almost in a vicious tone of gnashing his teeth, wishing he could eat his flesh raw from.

Soon someone brought down Spark's body that had been abandoned on the garbage dump—it was packed in a large black cloth bag, and it was just thrown at people's feet randomly like disposing of those garbage.

In fact, Spark is already in a state of death, so no matter how these people dispose of his body now, even if it is smashed to ashes, or even chopped up and fed to the dogs, Spark himself will never feel it again.Even, he may have reunited with his family underground now.

Players like Jiang Shui didn't care much about the grievances between the Blades family and Spark. Although Spark's revenge was not perfect, it was also because of Spark's love for Blades in the early stage. Setting up this kind of blindfold of "striking east and west" caused the players to completely lose the chance to save Jacques at the beginning.

Even James, who originally thought that the task content was not too difficult and only focused on finding out the inner ghost, could not help temporarily shelving his plan to supervise Lanchester. The players were all very surprised by the current situation. tricky.

——I didn't expect that Jacques had died a few days ago, so how should they complete their mission this time?

Just as everyone was driving to Blades Manor, five players just took advantage of the chaos and got into a car.

"Oh, what should we do now?" Ciel, who was relatively active among the players, sighed in confusion when he remembered the current situation: "Jacques is already dead... Now, our How to complete the task?"

However, when Charles asked this question, there was an instant silence in the whole car.Because, the rest of the players don't know what to do now.

In the end, it was Charles himself who broke the frightening silence. He suddenly asked Jiang Xun who was driving: "Jiang Xun, by the way, how did you think that Jacques was dead just now... What did you find?" Is there a clue? Or, did you find any flaws?"

After all, Spark has always been very good at disguising—this is something that Jiang Lai has not yet considered clearly. It stands to reason that Spark alone should not be able to be so meticulous and perfect—even the Blades family believed it was true. The goal of these "kidnappers" is only this batch of important arms that not many people know.

Jiang Shui had already turned off the bug just now. At this time, he was looking at the vehicle in front, holding the steering wheel with both hands and following closely behind the Blades team.

His voice sounded moderate, just enough for the rest of the players sitting in the car to hear clearly: "Sparke's words before his death made me feel that his target was not the ammunition."

"Also, Seamo once mentioned it." Jiang Lai's voice was as cold as ever, as if he was in the cold sky and snow, "He saw Spark's garbage that day with his own eyes. , but did not see the child's body."

If Seamus is not lying, then Spark must have thought of some way to transport Jacques out of the school—Jacques, who is already ten years old and not too thin, if he puts his beard and tail in a garbage bag , can definitely be noticed by Seamo - so in this case, if Spark wants to transport Jacques, there is only one possibility left.

That is, Jacques was killed after being stunned by Spark at noon, followed by even more brutal dismemberment.Only by disguising small pieces of corpses as garbage and putting them in garbage bags can Spark not attract the attention of security guard Seamo.

Jiang Lai didn't continue to say what he said afterwards, but the players in the car could also imagine the scene of Spark's body being dismembered based on the connection between his first and last sentences.

Charles couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said: "I didn't see it... It really is 'you can't judge by appearance'. On the surface, Spark looked submissive, but he didn't expect to be able to kill people like this in secret..."

Not to mention, Jacques had an intersection with Spark before.Following Shire's words, Jiang Lai also thought in his heart: However, even so, Spark still attacked Jacques in the end.Perhaps in Spark's heart, revenge is more important than anything else.

But Xia Er's speech made Jiang Lai think of his senior, Zhang Jian, who he hadn't seen for a long time—the "former" God's Blessed Knight with a carefree personality and chic demeanor.I always feel that if Zhang Jian was here, he would say such things.

As soon as Jiang Lai thought of Zhang Jian, he would inevitably think of his former teammate Si Yufeng.I don't know how Zhang Jian and Si Yufeng are doing now, they should still be together, maybe they are also performing hard tasks.

However, Jiang Xun didn't have time to think about whether Zhang Jian and Si Yufeng were on a mission, because he and the other players, who were in the middle of a hard mission, seemed to have no way to complete the mission.

At this moment, there is only one night left before the end of the mission, but the "he" in the mission content of the players, that is, they guessed before, Jacques who needs to be rescued by them was killed by Spark a few days ago .

Recall that the system released the incredible mission content "find 'him' and rescue 'him'" this time.After everyone knew that Jacques was kidnapped that day, they took Jacques into this "he" as a matter of course.However, will the system really release such unsolvable tasks?

Jiang Lai suddenly began to doubt in his heart: Is there something wrong with their interpretation of the mission content a few days ago...

Just as Jiang Lai thought in his heart at this time, James and Lanchester, veteran players who have experienced many battles, also had similar doubts in their hearts after discovering that Jacques was killed, and made further speculations .

It is impossible for the system to issue unsolvable missions, so Jacques, who was kidnapped and killed on the first day, should not be the one they really need to rescue.

Since this is the case, a new problem arises.Who is the "he" in the mission referring to?

After everyone returned to Blades Manor, Jacqueline hurried to the lobby on the first floor when she heard the sound of the car upstairs, and immediately walked forward when she saw her husband enter the door.

"How is it? Master." She didn't see the youngest son she imagined coming back with Blades beside her, so she couldn't help but asked eagerly, "Where is Jacques? Where is Jacques now?"

Blades didn't know how to tell Jacqueline the cruel news. When he noticed Jacqueline's beautiful blue eyes that seemed to have realized something and widened, he slowly recovered. own voice.

"Jacqueline." Blades held her hands firmly, and said to his wife in a gentle tone that he had never had before: "Listen to me... When we found Jacques, that child It's already...he's not breathing..."

In the end, he still didn't tell the cruelest part of the matter-Jacques was not only killed, but also dismembered.He thought that he should never let Jacqueline know about it in his life.

But even so, Jacqueline seemed to have suddenly lost her ability to speak. Blades looked at her with her mouth wide open in a daze and panic, as if hearing this incident made her feel a little nervous. How disgusting.Then in the next second, Jacqueline really started to retch.

Before Blades could persuade, he was interrupted by Jacqueline's sudden gag reflex.At this time, there happened to be a male servant who saw this scene with a letter and thought about coming over, but he dared not come over, but in the end he bravely walked over.

"...Master, this is a letter from Missy."

Blades looked at his wife who kept retching but couldn't help her, so he had to accept his daughter's letter first, but he still told the maids: "Madam, what did you eat recently? Don't be stunned." Here you go, run to the doctor!"

Immediately after receiving the letter, Blades caught a glimpse of his eldest son Fernand and his daughter-in-law Isabella walking down the stairs, so he handed the letter to the housekeeper beside him, Ethan, and asked him to help Open it, and immediately said to Fernan: "Fernan! Come and see your mother, she doesn't know what's wrong, she keeps vomiting there!"

Blades wanted to ask someone to help Jacqueline to sit on the sofa, but he was afraid that Jacqueline would feel uncomfortable, so he had to let her stand there bent over, retching non-stop.

And Fernan over there seems to have become particularly slow since he came back from the front line.After hearing what Blades said, he reacted in his mind for a while, and finally saw his mother bowed there, and then walked towards Jacqueline slowly and dullly.

Seeing this scene, Blades couldn't help complaining in his heart: I don't know what's going on in the family recently, one or two, why are there so many problems?Moreover, after Fernan returned from the front line, he seemed to be a different person. He was no longer as energetic as before. Could it be... Did he get injured on the front line?It won't hurt your brain, will it?

Just when Fernan walked up to her mother, Jacqueline seemed to finally be able to bear it no longer, and she vomited out all the things that came up from her stomach with a "crash".

When Blades saw his wife's vomit, his eyes widened involuntarily, and his face seemed to be frightened, and his expression began to lose control.

When the rest of the people present saw the puddle of vomit on the ground, a maid immediately screamed, "Ah!"

However, Jacqueline did not stop because of these screams. She was still vomiting sticky gastric juice and a lot of hair—those thick platinum-blonde hair seemed to come from her stomach. the same as it grew up in.Now the ground and her mouth are covered with mucus-stained hair.

Jacqueline, who had been hit one after another, was also exhausted, and finally fell behind with a "boom".

Standing beside Jacqueline all the time, but now with a terrified expression on his face, Blades didn't have time to reach out to catch his wife—even, he was a little afraid of Jacqueline who seemed to be possessed by something.

Instead, Fernand, who had just arrived here, ignored the platinum hair mixed with disgusting mucus that fell on the ground. Under Isabella's surprised eyes, he knelt down and prepared to help his mother up.

At this moment, after reading the letter from the young lady, Ethan, the housekeeper, dragged Blades away from Fernan with trembling hands, and then handed out the letter.Under Blades' puzzled gaze, he whispered in his ear, "Master... the letter from Missy said..."

Speaking of this, the butler Ethan couldn't help but glanced in Fernan's direction, "Young Master, you've already died in battle..."

At this time, Blades also just saw the letter from his daughter that said, "...the elder brother should have been killed in a battle two days ago...but father, the head of the elder brother has not been found, and we only found it on the battlefield." His body was found..."

Never had such a hard time, and Blades seemed to have aged a teenager in an instant.He seemed to be deeply shocked, and his body staggered back a lot, every muscle seemed to be trembling along with it.

When he raised his eyes again to look at Fernan who was standing not far away, Fernan's originally dull eyes seemed to be in a trance, realizing something.

Blades saw Fernand opening his mouth with great effort, as if he was about to say something to him, but before Fernand could say anything, the body that had experienced the baptism of war suddenly fell backwards.

Isabella squatted down faster than Blades, and when she saw her husband suddenly fainted, she immediately picked up his body and shook him hard, trying to wake up Fernand who had closed his eyes.

She was completely shocked by the series of sudden accidents in front of her, crying hysterically: "Fernan, Fernan... What's wrong with you, wake up, don't scare me, please... Fernan!"

But amidst the constant shaking, the neckline that Fernan had been covering up suddenly slipped down, and Isabella finally saw the huge scars that her husband had hidden under the clothes.

In the midst of extreme horror, she suppressed her fear, and continued to unbutton Fernand's collar a few more times, and the truth was nakedly displayed in front of Isabella.What Fernan wanted to cover up were those centipede-like scars that sewed the body and the head together.

——No wonder Fernand refused to take off his clothes when he was sleeping, and he refused to change in front of him. It turned out to be like this.

His current body is no longer his own...

Fernan fell so suddenly just now, in a flash, Blades somehow thought of what Jacqueline had said to him.

"Since inviting the 'New God', the family feels like it has been cursed..."

He also suddenly remembered the three wishes he had made devoutly to the "new god" in the darkness after Jacques was kidnapped:

"I hope the business can prosper..."

"I hope this batch of important arms will be delivered smoothly..."

"I hope that country M can always serve as a solid backing for the Blades family..."

Blades silently recited his wish for that day, and all the clues were connected together like dominoes.

Not long after, a hint of enlightenment flashed across Blades' eyes.He murmured: "...This 'new god' really fulfilled my wish."

——The business was booming because the two countries were at war, but his eldest son Fernand died in the battle in the end; the important batch of arms was also successfully transported there, but the youngest son Jacques was also mercilessly killed by the kidnappers.

Now, there is one last wish that has not been fulfilled... Blades' body suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, and a fear from the depths of his soul instantly swept through his whole body.

"It doesn't matter..." Blades didn't seem to be overwhelmed by the current situation. After all, he had seen countless storms in his life in the past few decades.

He tried his best to control his muscles so that those damned hands would stop shaking, but he found helplessly that he didn't even have the strength to walk now.

"Yes... Now, I still have one last wish that has not been fulfilled..." With continuous efforts, Blades finally controlled his legs, and now he wanted to go to the second basement floor. "This also means that I still have a chance now!"

Only that sentence remained in his mind at the moment, and he kept repeating for a moment: "There is still a chance... Yes, I still have a chance to save my daughter..."
