Chapter 3: Killing them all will protect my sister.
rustle……
Anne finished gathering herbs and looked up at the sky.
Looking through the trees at the crimson sky, she always felt a strange unease.
What's wrong?
She couldn't tell.
"An Yi!"
She called out to someone not far away.
"It's so late, we should go home!"
“Okay.” An Yi nodded and glanced around.
rustle……
"and many more!"
Anne suddenly thought of something, her soft brows furrowed as she looked around.
"Anyi, did you hear anything?"
"I heard my sister's voice." An Yi pretended not to know anything.
"No, that's not it! I meant... the sounds around us!"
Anne closed her eyes and began to listen intently to the sounds around her.
rustle……
"Listen! That's the sound!" She suddenly opened her eyes and excitedly said to An Yi.
At this moment, she finally realized the strange feeling she had just had.
Looking up at the leaves above, you can tell there's no wind.
Why can we hear the sound of grass blades rubbing together even when there's no wind?!
"Anyi, you think... no, no, there won't be any monsters...?"
A hint of fear flashed in Annie's eyes as she tugged at Annie's sleeve, warily scanning her surroundings.
"My parents often say that the forest is very dangerous at night, and that man-eating monsters may appear."
"Anyi, what should we do if we encounter a monster? Won't we get eaten?"
"That's not the case."
An Yi shook her head.
"Man-eating magical beasts are not numerous, and ordinary people without magic power are unlikely to become prey for them."
Nature has its own complete food chain, and no monster is obligated to feed on humans.
If such a thing existed, they would have all starved to death long ago when humans moved into villages and cities.
"Is...is that so?" Annie was stunned, having never heard of such a thing before.
"but……"
An Yi's gaze shifted, meeting the menacing eyes lurking in the dim forest.
It was as if they were being told, "I see you."
"We seem to have encountered a more troublesome problem than Warcraft," he said.
"Huh...?" Annie was stunned.
Seemingly having understood their conversation, the other party decided to stop pretending.
Hehehehehe—
"Gagaga—!!"
"Chirp chirp chirp ee-ee-ee!!"
From all directions, small, ugly monsters emerged from the shadows with foolish, wicked grins on their faces.
They have green skin, are only a little over a meter tall, have a large head that looks disproportionate to their body size, long and pointed ears, protruding eyes, and sharp teeth showing in their open mouths. Saliva drips from the corners of their mouths, making them look extremely disgusting.
Although he was not tall, he was strong and muscular, with clearly defined muscles on his short, thick arms, and exuded a dangerous aura.
"Anyi?! What...what is this?!" Annie exclaimed, grabbing Anyi's arm in terror.
“The lowest-ranking level one demon, a goblin.” An Yi said calmly, placing his hand on the sword at his waist.
Finally... today has arrived... guilt
In an instant, the scene before An Yi's eyes changed; the surrounding scenery flickered, as if time had rewound to the same day in her past life.
Same location, same time, same two people. lin
He stood before Anne, declaring his intention to protect her, and shouting that a mere swarm of goblins was no match for him.
However, due to the limitations of the world's rules, he was unable to draw his sword and nearly fainted. 3
Amidst the goblin's mockery and Annie's worry, he stood helplessly like a lost fool, clutching his head and howling.
Without hesitation, Annie pulled him up from the ground and dragged him out of the goblin encirclement. But little did she know that the goblins had deliberately let them go, thus beginning a chase game unique to these monsters.
The scenery flickered, and we returned to the present. (Sai)
An Yi looked up at the increasingly dark sky.
Yes, that day was also a similar sunset, with the sky turning red.
Anne fell while wearing clothes that made it difficult to move, and her wounds, covered in mud and sand, were red.
He so wanted to help Annie up, or even carry her on his back.
……
“Anyi…you run faster than your sister. I’ll stay here to distract them. You hurry back to the village and tell the adults that there are demons here.”
The fact that these monsters didn't attack us immediately means they don't intend to kill us quickly. If we go back and call the adults to save me, we'll definitely make it in time!
……
That was the last time Annie's voice was heard in her previous life.
She is dead.
He died on the eve of his brother's birthday, a day that should have been celebrated.
He died a very undignified death.
He left this world bloodily, twisted, and painfully.
However, in this life, An Yi will not let that happen.
He wants to... kill!
Slaughter all the demons here who killed Annie in her past life!
"what to do……"
Looking at the large number of goblins, Annie's face turned serious, and sweat streamed down her face.
This was the first time she had ever seen a demon, and her wildly beating heart and trembling legs reminded her of the extreme fear she was in.
But she forced herself to calm down.
We must... think of a way.
"Should we send An'i to fight...?"
Do not!
"Anyi can't handle them alone; we need to get him to inform the adults in the village!"
“Anyi”.
Annie released Annie's arm, her eyes filled with undisguised fear mixed with a resolute determination to face death.
She stepped forward and stood in front of An Yi.
“You run faster than your sister, so I’ll distract them while you escape and go back to the village to tell the adults that there are demons here.”
As she spoke, her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
Anne knew that staying there would only lead to her death, but she did not shed a cowardly tear in front of her brother.
"despair."
A warm, thick hand was placed on Annie's shoulder, calming her down a little.
"Don't be afraid, sister."
Goblins have a habit of toying with their prey, so they won't kill us immediately.
"They enjoy watching their prey's fear; they find pleasure in it." Annie tilted her head slightly and explained to Annie in a low voice.
How do you know all this so clearly?!
"But if that's the case, wouldn't we be in even more danger?!" Annie was even more frightened at the thought of possibly being tortured to death.
Now that things have come to this, what good will knowing all this do?!
However, when she looked up at An Yi, she found that he still had that indifferent expression.
There was no fear, no seriousness, no terror, no panic, not even surprise.
He just kept the same expression, as always, that indifferent look.
It was as if such a desperate situation was nothing to him.
For some reason, Annie felt inexplicably relieved.
"Then tell me, what should we do...?" Her voice had weakened considerably.
"The fact that they stepped forward is actually good news for us," Annie said.
They choose to surround us because they have a perverse pleasure in toying with their prey.
