Thriller Paradise

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."????n????r????????????. c????????
