Chapter 71

Just then, creak, the door opened.

“Please have your meal… Ah?”

Nettie, who had come carrying bread, stopped in her tracks.

The room was drenched in blood.

Having witnessed it, she froze completely.

“Ah, ah!”

She stepped back belatedly, but Karl, who had already approached with large strides, grabbed Nettie by the throat.

Crack.

Dana saw Nettie’s neck snap like a doll’s.

Soon, Nettie’s lifeless body fell like straw.

“…”

Clatter, bread rolled weakly from the plate that had fallen from her hands.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

“Cr, crazy!”

Norton, who entered next, screamed.

He hastily drew his gun and immediately fired at Karl.

“Die, monster!”

Bang!

However, Karl was no longer there. Having disappeared without a trace, Norton looked around in terror.

Then, Karl, who had been hanging from the ceiling, landed silently behind Norton. Without hesitation, he grabbed his neck and snapped it.

Thud.

Norton collapsed without even being able to scream.

“…”

After that, it was a time of complete silence. Only the bloody breath scattered in the air.

Karl calmly looked down at the corpses surrounding him.

“Oh my.”

He muttered as if to himself.

“I made a mistake.”

Dana covered her mouth with both hands and trembled. She couldn’t even let out a breath.

A mistake?

A mistake?

Nathan aside, even Nettie? That was a mistake?

In an instant, killing three people cruelly, and calling it a mistake?

“I should make it quick.”

Then what about me?

What if he accidentally kills me too right now?

Instinctively, Dana lifted her skirt and reached for her thigh. The gun, the gun…

Then Karl Windsor let out a deep sigh.

“Dana.”

He slowly turned around. His face looked troubled.

“Did you see?”

“…”

“Of course you did. I don’t even know what I’m saying. But why are you trying to take out that gun?”

Dana was surprised. How did he know she had hidden a gun there?

“Give it here.”

Karl extended his hand. It was a red hand covered in blood.

“The gun. Quickly hand it over to me.”

Click!

Dana aimed the gun barrel at him.

At the same time, Karl firmly grasped the gun muzzle. Even though it was happening right before her eyes, Dana’s eyes couldn’t follow that speed.

“Dana. Such a vicious thing doesn’t suit you.”

Crunch. The gun muzzle was completely crushed in Karl’s hand.

Like paper, so easily…

“Don’t carelessly stain your pretty hands with blood.”

Crazy bastard.

Dana muttered this and trembled. Karl looked at such Dana with troubled eyes and tilted his head.

“But why did you point a gun at me? I did this to protect you.”

He stared piercingly. With the same affectionate gaze as usual.

“I know, it must have been an instinctive action in a panic state. This is the kind of mistake that spies pretending to be allies make, so why did you do it?”

Then, ah.

He let out an exclamation as if he had realized something.

“You must have heard back then.”

Karl let out a quiet sigh. Then he smiled slightly.

“I wondered why the door gap suddenly opened, I was anxious…”

“…”

“Back then, did you hear?”

“…”

“Tell me. From where to where did you hear?”

She felt like she was suffocating.

For the first time in her life, Dana realized with her whole body that her life might end at this very moment.

“Don’t misunderstand. It’s not like that. Actually, I am.”

Karl smiled as if troubled and reached out his hand to her.

That bright red hand that had gouged out Nathan’s eyeball.

Why is he reaching that hand toward me?

‘Is he trying to kill me?’

No.

No, no, no!

“―!”

At that moment,

A massive dizziness struck her head with a bang. Dana collapsed right there. No, she thought she had collapsed.

‘What is this?’

Her vision went black for a moment, then brightened instantly.

‘What is this? What is this?’

Dana gasped, huff, huff, breathing roughly and blinking her eyes. Her head, her vision was dizzy.

This sensation…

‘Could it be.’

It’s a familiar sensation.

This dizziness, this nausea, this sense of alienation as if she had lived through two different times that she had experienced several times recently.

And.

“Attend the ceremony and apologize. Do you understand!”

“Ah. So it was because of that after all.”

Conversations proceeding exactly the same as what she had just seen.

Dana slowly took a deep breath and raised her head. Through her gradually clearing vision, she could see Karl and Nathan.

Inside the mill.

Nathan was gripping Karl’s hair.

Nathan was alive, his eyes were intact, and his jaw was properly attached.

‘He’s alive.’

And Karl Windsor.

Karl hadn’t killed anyone yet, and his hands weren’t stained red.

‘I saw the future again…’

What would happen shortly in the future—she had glimpsed it.

Sure enough, she heard the exact same lines as in her memory.

“So it was because of that after all.”

“That’s right. If they fed us and gave us shelter, we should show sincerity as strangers!”

Nathan bared his teeth in a grin and glanced at Dana.

“Isn’t that right? Both Karl and Karl’s wife.”

His eyes rippled with lust.

“What’s the point of keeping good things to yourself? Good things should be shared.”

“Village Chief. You shouldn’t look at Dana with such filthy eyes.”

“Say that you’ll attend the ritual!”

“How about turning your eyes elsewhere first before speaking?”

—After this.

Right after this, Karl’s killing would begin.

No.

There was nothing more to think about. Dana shot up from her spot. And she wrapped her arms tightly around Karl’s waist.

Firmly, so he wouldn’t become violent.

“Stop!”

Dana shouted while looking at Nathan.

Desperately, earnestly.

“I’ll go to the ritual, so let him go!”

Nathan’s eyes widened in surprise, then he burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha!”

Then he released Karl’s hair.

“Good, good. That’s the spirit we need.”

Pat pat, he tapped Dana’s shoulder.

“Well then, see you in a bit. Stranger couple.”

Nathan left with a smile, and soon after Nettie entered. Her head was properly attached to her neck.

“Here, have some bread. It’s freshly baked and delicious.”

She set down the plate and disappeared with a smile.

After her, Norton greeted them with a sinister look. He too was alive and well.

“See you at the ritual in a bit.”

Wink, he winked.

He showed Karl his middle finger in insult.

With that, the mill door closed with a thud.

“…”

Until then, Dana had been holding Karl’s waist. An eerie silence flowed.
