Chapter 248: Brothers 12

The third bedroom was undeniably Arthur’s room . Feng Bujue had searched through two rooms, and he triggered a video recap in each of the rooms but did not find any items . He hoped that he would gain something at this room . Other than the room that the monster entered, there were five rooms on the second floor in total . He still had three keys to look for, and there were only three rooms left…

He opened the door and tested for traps, the same old routine . After ensuring it was safe, he walked in with the lamp . This time, once he walked through the door, the recap was triggered .

…

“Brother… Big brother… What… is going on?” Andrew looked at the scene before him in shock . There were two dead bodies in Arthur’s room . From the way they were dressed, they did not come from a presentable background . They looked ugly and smelled of booze .

“Don’t panic, calm down . I will explain this to you . ” Arthur did not hurry to answer his little brother . He used his chilling gaze and level tone to get his brother to recover from his panicked state . The brothers in this video were already in their twenties . Arthur’s frame, attire, and hairstyle were similar to the person that Feng Bujue had seen in the introductory cinematic . Andrew was taller than Arthur, about 1 . 8 meters, on the thin side, and looked normal . He was wearing a shirt and suspenders too . Andrew tried to adjust his breathing to calm down . Naturally, he would not scream because, at a moment like this, most people would choose to help their family .

“Now, listen to me,” Arthur said darkly . “That ‘experiment’ of ours has reached a bottleneck . You know about that . “

Andrew did not know what to say . He only nodded, the simplest reply he could make . His eyes slowly moved away from the dead bodies and stopped at Arthur’s bloody hands .

“So, we need more material to experiment with,” Arthur said .

“But the cows we have…”

Andrew was about to intervene when Arthur cut him off with a stern voice . “Animals are different from humans!”

Andrew instantly clamped up and did not dare speak . Arthur sighed and tried to make his voice sound gentler . “These two are homeless people from the city . They are drunkards . When I found them, they were planning to beat up a woman . “

This explanation made Andrew approve of Arthur’s actions somewhat, and his expression changed slightly .

“I am doing the security’s work . Any bounty hunter would have done the same,” Arthur said . “This is a good thing . “

He sounded firm when he said that . That was how Arthur was since he was young . He would not regret his actions, be it the purpose or result . He never hesitated .

“What if… there’s an investigation?” Andrew asked . “If you’re discovered…”

“It’s fine,” Arthur said . “The woman did not get a good look at me . She ran away after I helped her . The two were only knocked out at the time; they weren’t dead . “

He paused and scanned the dead bodies on the ground . “No one will start an investigation for them . It’s better if trash like this disappears from this world . “

Andrew was quiet for a long time . His heart was battling with his mind . After a long time, he asked, “Then, what should we do now?”

“You will leave and close the door . ” Arthur’s answer was simple .

“Big brother… what are you going to…”

“It’s better for you not to know anything about it . Leave this to me . “

…

“Hmm… the scene from his first crime? From their age, their mother should have passed away years ago,” Feng Bujue said as he moved forward . There were many things in the room . It seemed like there was a high chance for an item to be found . The four legs of the bed had been sawn off, and the bed was lying on the ground . The bedsheets were soaked in blood, and the stench was horrible . The mattress had a large part that was sunken . Broken tools with rust and blood, bandages, and unknown congealed fluids sat around the bed…

There was no closet in this room . Instead, there were two glass cupboards standing next to the wall . The cupboards should have been filled with potions and alchemy ingredients, but now, they only contained some empty bottle, trash, and unknown powder . Of course, this powder had been mixed with dust and lost any of its medicinal value a long time ago .

“This should be Arthur’s first surgery room,” Feng Bujue said . “He dealt with the bodies on his bed to create synthetic people… This is no different from sh*tting at the dining table . “

He picked up a small dresser that was lying on the ground . He pulled open the drawer, and a piece of paper fluttered out . He picked it up to look, and the content triggered the translation function . It contained valuable information .

“The Xin clan is a cursed clan . Their blood is mixed with the demon’s blood . The gene of human hatred is passed down from generation to generation . But at the same time, they are blessed by the Gods with natural talent . When they are still young, the children of the Xin clan will show maturity beyond their years and a thirst toward knowledge . When they are five to seven, their memory, understanding, and imagination will be better than a normal youth . A teenager of the Xin clan will easily master a skill that a normal adult needs to spend years to master . Those of the Xin clan at this period have already gained a full understanding of this world’s history, culture, and human relationships . It is normally during this period that their personality changes, and the nature of their hatred will start to awaken .

“A Xin clan youth will be good as good at fighting as a human fighter who has gone through serious training, without any condition . And they are extremely cunning and deceitful . They view human lives and societal rules as unimportant and view their purpose as their holiest duty . They are an extremely dangerous presence to any non-Xin clan people (including demons and devils) . Based on a known report, there are fewer than one hundred adult Xin clan people in the Sita continent . The number of this clan on the outside islands is unknown . There is no proof that they have been trying to expand their clan numbers from purposeful multiplication . Only members from the Royal Arcana that have a rank above sergeant have the right to capture the Xin clan people . The other members’ only course of action when they run into a member of the Xin clan is to demolish them . “

“Hmm… So, this is the background . ” After reading the content on the paper, Feng Bujue had a better understanding of this Xin clan . He commented with a smile, “I feel like the people from the Xin clan are born with the halo of a main character . They sound so cool and wicked . Even I feel like joining them . “
