Chapter 165 Play Along



The girl identified to be Kerene by Zick had a slim body with a tall nose, she had brown hair with sickly pale skin.

SWISH~

A cold breeze brushed past Kerene\'s weak body making her shiver nonstop.

The foul smell of faeces and dead bodies assaulted her nose. The slum alley was very quiet like everyone was dead around there.

Kerene could only curl up in a corner with a stiff expression. More than a month had already passed since her family was killed by the pandemic. Everything went downhill from that moment.

It was natural for guards to look into her if her mother was infected, there was a high chance she was infected by Revelner disease too.

Kerene was lucky to be taken in for a physical examination. A huge uproar occurred in the city she was in as the water well, which was the sole source of their had a dead body of an infected person in it.

This was the final push that made the city\'s order fall apart.

Kerene was lucky to get out of there because of men with red hair.

In the end, she arrived in this city and became a vagrant.

Kerene and the red-haired man hid below a caravan and got through somehow but mysteriously the red-haired man vanished, leaving her all alone.

\'I wanted to thank him but...It doesn\'t seem like I will get a chance to...\' Kerene thought with a blank look.

At that time, they were being chased by the guards, so the most likely outcome of the red-haired man was being captured by them.

RUSTLE~

The sound of someone walking reached Kerene\'s ear. There were multiple footsteps and their destination was right where she was sitting.

Kerene lifted her head slowly, there were dozens of people looking back right at her. It was apparent that they held bad intentions against her from their menacing looks.

The one standing in the front smiled with his eyes scanning her body.

Kerene didn\'t need to think to know the reason they were heading toward her. She got up with all her strength and dashed to the opposite side.

Her body was already very weak with no food to eat, all she could get were the leftover things thrown by the restaurants or inn. Her leg tripped over sometime when she put too much energy into it. But she kept running, getting up again.

The people from before followed her taking their time as if to mock her effort, that there was nowhere to run. This slum was under their control.

They were running just 30 meters from her.

Seeing this, Kerene ran even faster turning to any corner without a second thought. She came across many other beggars who were just like her, but they looked down seeing the people following her.

After a while, Kerene turned back only to see the people following her to be five meters from her.

THUD!

At that moment, Kerene bumped into someone. Her body was weak, colliding with this person made her body fall with no resistance. It was almost like she collided with a mountain.

Looking up, Kerene could see the person she bumped into look right back at her. He had black hair with extremely pale skin and there was an eye patch on his right eye.

Who else could it be but Zick?

Zick looked weak with his pale skin, but for some reason, there was an oppressive air around him. This was a kind of natural feeling that people give out the stronger they grow.

"You bastard! What do you think you\'re doing here?" One of the chasers spoke threateningly.

"Sir Herath is here, so why aren\'t you scamming already?"

Looking closely, the chaser found another person standing behind Zick. It was an extremely beutiful girl! They almost involuntarily thought of running forward.

Comparing Kerene to the women behind Zick was like comparing mud to Diamond!

Such was Levienel\'s beauty.

Zick opened his mouth and spoke coldly: "Take her away, I will be back in a second."

He addressed Levienel while lightly glaring forward.

Levienel held Kerene\'s hand and immediately vanished in thin air with a flash.

The atmosphere froze between the chaser and Zick froze.

The very next moment, the leader of the group chasing Kerene smiled at Zick — immediately breaking the tense atmosphere.

The other people also had relaxed expressions, with their menacing look vanishing.

"You will keep your promise, right?" The leader asked with greed visible in his eyes.

"Of course, I keep my word." Zick smiled too.

Seeing this, the chaser\'s leader felt excitement rising within him rapidly. His gaze shone like never before. \'I am gonna make it big! Haha! Living thugs is sickening, I am gonna live in luxury from now on far from here!\'

From his excited sight, he could see Zick slowly lifting his hand. His eyes concentrated, and he could see Zick holding his finger in a flicking position.

Looking at this, everyone was bewildered.

\'is he going to flick coins at us?\' Such stupid thoughts appeared in their head.

In truth, Zick was just passing his time, going back to Levienel too early would look suspicious to Kerene after all. So he was playing along with these thugs.

He had hired them after showing his strength and promised some reward for doing what he ordered.

Even Zick had to agree, these thugs were quite good at acting. They had some life experiences it seemed.

But, Zick had no obligation to pay them in his heart at all. And neither did he like taking chances, it was possible that Kerene would come to know of his scheme through these thugs in the future. He had grown very cautious after experiencing one annoying thing after another.

He flicked his finger with leisure.

A black wave was released from his hand and passed by the thugs with a flash. Zick\'s chaotic mana evolved thanks to that black miasma, it had improved in speed drastically.

The thug\'s eyes widened before freezing altogether. Blood splurted from their lower abdomen at once and divided from their body.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The whole place quietened down with blood flowing into the grey tiles below. Their innards leaked out from their body. There was no change in Zick\'s expression as he looked at the intestines of this thug. It was quite a familiar sight to him.

As Zick willed, fireballs flew to the thug\'s dead bodies and burned them rapidly.

They were just normal humans in the end. They were burnt to ashes in no time.

Their ashes flew away in the air. Zick could feel the necklace in his neck shining dimly, it had absorbed everyone\'s soul who had died here.

The reason Zick didn\'t use his demonic pupil to experiment was because of this. He wanted the necklace to absorb this thug\'s soul.

Using his demonic eyes could damage their soul, weakening the effect of the necklace.

\'I want to go to the Doll gallery again, but right now is not the time. And I can manipulate the way I clear the requirement to leave the subconscious world too. I just have to use the soul of a person who I know very closely.\' Zick thought while walking towards Levienel.

There were many candidates whose regret he could clear. But most of them were important characters from the Novel.

So the people Zick could choose were limited. But he didn\'t worry he had a few people in mind.

Zick was naturally vigilant, there was a chance that he could not clear the subconscious world and be trapped in it forever. But, the benefits were just too appealing!

Zick was willing to take risks to a certain degree in this matter.

Picking up Aeiron along the way, Zick arrived out of the slum area, in the street where he could see Levienel waiting for him. Kerene also stood beside her with a pensive look.

Looking at Zick who walked out of the alley, Kerene bowed her head quickly: "Thank you for helping me, sir!"

Saying it loudly, her voice was hoarse. She had not gotten water to drink for a long time.

"No big deal, I felt someone talented there so I was roaming around. You are lucky to find me there." Zick said with closed eyes.

The next moment, Zick\'s expression turned serious.

"I will be straightforward with you, will you come work below me?" Zick said his true intention.

Kerene lifted her head and looked at Zick, he had a person on his shoulder who seemed to be unconscious, he seemed familiar to her for some reason.

She had to admit that Zick was very handsome, even her heart skipped a beat looking at him.

Those drifting red eyes, long smooth black hair, and the unique presence he let out made him look different than others.

Seeing Kerene lost in her thoughts, Zick spoke again to wake her up: "Have you decided?"

Zick had high expectations of Kerene accepting his proposal.

"Ah, right, yes, I will work for you...." Kerene answered absent-mindedly. She had an innate personality of thinking of herself to be lower than others.

\'The future twin dagger seems to be quite timid right now. I have to train her properly.\' Zick turned to Levienel.

"Miss Levienel, please make a teleportation circle in the hidden place there. I will be back in a few minutes, please keep these two people with you." Zick handed over Kerene and Aeiron to Levienel.

Zick started moving towards the bakery, he had to buy food for those people he gathered.

\'I didn\'t find realen till the end...Did he die?\'
