"Hmph~ Today is a good day~"

After completing all the tasks, Nico, who had strengthened the hotel into a solid wall, hummed a song with a smile, holding a stack of painted sheepskin scrolls, jumping towards his room like a child who had received some reward.

Of course she was very happy because the rune array falling from the sky directly increased her alchemy knowledge level in geometric numbers. The defensive runes named Sumite Universal Array even directly brought a whole string of hidden skill trees. This can no longer be said to be the rhythm of winning the lottery. It was completely the rhythm of buying five hundred identical lottery tickets, all with the first prize.

The only universal defense array in the world is unique. The entire twenty-three pieces are now all in her hands.

Although it is just a series of sheepskin scrolls that are completely useless and have a mutton smell, Niko can feel the power contained in the runes smeared by the spray gun. The power that only the alchemist can feel is like pairs of invisible hands, gently twitching the nerves of the alchemist girl. Those runes can even completely change the main structure of the world, relatively speaking, it is like countless voices calling on the girl's research in the scroll.

Surrounded by the ultimate happiness of such an alchemist, Nico even felt that the whole world had been sublimated into pink. Even the shrew in the lame oil painting that looked particularly dazzling on the wall was smiling at him.

It's so beautiful, there are always so many kind-hearted people in this world.

Nico held the scroll with a smile and turned around the corner of the corridor. Under the swaying firelight of the animal oil lamps on both sides, she hummed an untuned little song and walked towards the end of the corridor, the room with a strange color that looked like the color of the door was strange.

If you remember correctly, the room with the name No. 404 is the room assigned to her by the hotel. Although it is much more luxurious than other rooms, no one has ever lived there due to some rumors. However, as a player, Nico also needs a relatively large space to study alchemy, so he naturally chose this room.

"Woo... I'm really disgusting when I get closer."

When he reached a relatively close place, Nico saw the whole picture of the door clearly. Just as the boss with a vulgar face said, this door looked really unlucky. Although it was a door, he could not feel any safety at all.

The dark red door has a completely different thickness from other wooden boards. What makes people feel most annoying is that there is always a strange smell of rust on it. Just like a broken iron piece taken out from the bottom of the sea, there is always a slight pungent breath that destroys the surrounding smell. Even alchemists like Nico cannot tell the difference between other smells except for the smell of rust.

"I hope the smell of this thing won't appear in the room." Nico sighed slightly and walked to the door.

Holding the dozens of scrolls with one hand, the alchemy girl leaned against the wall and tried hard to take out the assigned key from her pocket. Although the door of the room looked very big, the key was pitifully small. It was really an unreasonable thing.

"But then again... Mr. Gaogen really doesn't care about this? I don't understand what he thought."

It’s obviously my wife? Is it really okay to care about her wife’s relics so indifferent? That’s the right to sign, proliferate, patent right. Do you don’t care about these things? Or is Mr. Gaogen very open about these things because he is a player’s problem? But judging from that expression, it’s probably not the kind of relationship that can be easily let go. What do you think?

He took his hand in his pocket for a long time but couldn't catch the small brass key. Nico bit his lip with a little distress, but when he looked up, he found that a gap appeared next to the dark red wooden door that had been soaked in his blood for decades.

"What? Isn't this the door closed at all?"

With a little doubt, Nico reached out and pushed open the scarlet wooden door that was hidden, completely unable to see clearly inside.

But for some reason, when his hand was just placed on the door, there was a sudden chill like a pair of big hands holding Nico's palm tightly, making her unable to push open the door. In just a moment, a chill that rushed straight from the tailbone to the brain nerve made Nico's body instantly cold. It was like falling into an ice cave, which was what she said.

It was as if a sharp sword was pressed between the eyebrows, and there was a swelling and cold coming from the depths of the brain. It seemed that the blood in the body turned into a glacier, and the invisible ice smears condensed from the blood cut the delicate blood vessels into pieces.

Someone wanted to kill her. It was behind the door.

‘What…? What happened? What exactly is there?’

The cold sweat instantly wet the alchemy girl's clothes and pulled the robe that was not close to her body tightly on her body. It was as if this could bring a little warmth to herself and allow the warm current that kept her heart beating in her body to continue to flow.

Killing aura, murderous intent, killing**. It's all good, but that kind of thing is right behind the door. Something is behind the faint door that wants to kill her. She wants to dry her blood and sprinkle it into a red rainbow, she wants to tear her blood vessels, she wants to take out all her internal organs and make it into pieces, and she wants to completely smash her brain into a mixed color.

Someone wants to kill her, but it really wants to kill her from the bottom of his heart.

Because of tension, the pupils instantly contracted into a pinhole shape, and even their breathing stopped. The whole person stood there as if they had been pressed. Even the courage to blink was deprived of the invisible and intangible murderous intent. The whole person was nailed to the spot.

‘Move it, move it! Run it quickly, run it quickly! Call for help, go find Mr. Gaogen to help you!’

Cold sweat drew a curve along her smooth cheeks and gathered on the tip of her jaw. Her body even had goose bumps due to the loss of heat. She was slightly scraped by the air blowing in the corridor, and the feeling of freezing gradually deprived her of her reason.

He shouted frantically inside that he wanted to leave, but ** stayed there without hesitation at all. The muscles on his body were trembling, and he was frantically warning the owner of the danger here. However, the bones did not listen to the roar of will and muscles at all, and stayed in place as stubbornly as a stone. He never even had a trace of movement.

Already, finished? A journey in this world?

As if he was wondering why the people outside didn't come in, the dark red door gradually opened. As the gap widened, Nico's heart gradually raised up. Cold sweat kept sliding down the enviable curve of his body.

"Well? Miss Nico, why are you standing outside?"

The dwarf girl who had been following Gao Gen and was like a follower, poked her head out from behind the door. She snatched her body behind the door, and looked outside with her head tilted and looked at the alchemy girl who was fished out of the water.

‘So it’s an illusion?! Should I play with people like this!’

Looking at the cute face of the dwarf girl, Nico let out a long sigh, as if his whole body had been pulled away, and his whole body was slumped on the wooden wall behind. For the alchemy girl, the murderous intent of strength was still a little too exciting. It felt like ten thousand years at that moment, and the strength in her body was pulled away, not even a single thing left.

"Ah, nothing is nothing. I just had an illusion." After a breath, Nico smiled at the dwarf girl with a cold sweat on his face and said, "That illusion of dying in the next second is really bad. I thought there was something behind this door-"

But, is it really an illusion? Nico's voice came to an abrupt end as if the recorder pressed the pause button.

"What are you talking about? Sister Nico?"

The entire dark red wooden door was slowly opened, revealing the hidden thing of the girl named Langang.

A terrifying war hammer of nearly 150 centimeters was lifted and held lightly in Lan Gang's hand. The dark red rust that seemed to condense blood was everywhere on the hammer. You can even see some air-dried traces at the top of the hammer, which were originally like tofu brain-like tissues left after being air-dried. That should be traces of the brain marrow, right?

"Don't you want to inherit Lord Sumit's alchemy products? Don't you have the immortal body of a player? Didn't you be told by Mr. Gaogen to inherit the alchemy? Then you are threatening Uncle Gaogen's existence."

Looking at Nico's shocked look, the dwarf's princess's eyes were empty and unsightly. The terrifying eyes seemed to see the endless void through Nico, and there was no such thing as human being. Rather than saying that human beings were explaining something, it was a judgment or a declaration, without any hesitation. The clear and cold voice of the dwarf girl was used to declare the initial and final death of an alchemy girl who had just come out of happiness.

"Why can't you understand Uncle Gen's mood? I don't understand."

Dragging a terrifying giant hammer taller than herself, Lan Gang lowered his head and murmured under Nico's fearful gaze, leaving a deep drag mark on the floor. She dragged the hammer to Nico and gradually said some fragmentary words.

"Do you really think Uncle Gen is happy to inherit the so-called alchemy arrays? Do you really think he doesn't want the signature rights to be sincere? No, you are wrong, Miss Nico. He wants to be martyred, he wants to commit suicide. He wants to give everything about himself, not even a trace of it. That's it, you still let him do this and that, and accompany you to mess around. Do you know how painful my heart is when I see Uncle Gen driving a horse on the carriage?"

"I love him, more than anyone else. So I can accept all his choices. But this is the only thing he wants to die, I cannot accept. He wants to erase his existence and refuse the help of this world. Why can God be resurrected in faith but Uncle Gen cannot? I can clearly make everyone believe in a God called Gaogen and let him live eternally in faith, why can't it? Do you know? It's because Uncle Gen doesn't want it, and he himself doesn't want it."

"I respect his choice, so I will send him the last journey sadly. I will use any method of my life to prosper his life, and I can do anything for this. But you, you actually took away the few treasures of Uncle Gen. You actually took away his treasures, you took away his memories with Lord Sumit. Do you know what your behavior means? Your behavior means you will step on his death journey and completely step him into the quagmire. I have heard your conversation."

Under Nico's fearful gaze, Lan Gang slowly raised the giant hammer in his hand and cast a twisted shadow on Nico's face. "So I'm sorry, Miss Nico. I'm very happy with your journey. But for Uncle Gaogen--"

Under the radiance of the candle, the shadow pointed at Nietzsche's head and rushed straight with a slight whistle.

"Please die."
