1114 Chapter 1114: If it Breathes, I Kills
"Does that mean that we get to kill whatever and whoever we want in this place, Aurora?"
"...Yes?"
"Hm... Then perhaps we truly are in the right place."
"Riley Ross?"
"Heh...? What's this?"
Aurora, as well as the thugs who were waiting for them outside the ship, could not help but raise their eyebrows as Riley just casually stepped out of the hatch; just casually stepping down the ground without even caring that he was stepping of blood.
"Haha. This fucker thinks he's amusing," one of the thugs stepped forward with a knife in his hand, "Oi. I know you guys are new here, but you really should show respect while we are still being—Oi!?"
Riley did not even let the thug finish his words as he just suddenly snatched the knife away from him.
"Do you want this back, Thug?" Riley then started spinning the knife in his hand, "But you are not even holding it right."
"What are you—" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"This is how you hold it," a wide smile crawled on Riley's face as he just suddenly swung the knife right across the thug's neck.
"Geurgh...!?"
"Jiff!?"
The other thugs could not help but slightly back away. They did not even know how their friend was cut, and the only way they knew was by seeing Riley's arm already stretched to the side.
"Since we need to fit in..." Riley then glanced back at Aurora as he crouched down so that he could be at the same level as the man whose throat he just sliced, "...I will do that for us."
"What are you—!?"
And without even saying another word, Riley just grabbed the thug by the hair and pulled him closer... before the sound of flesh and blood gurgling whispered in the air as Riley started sawing his neck right in front of everyone.
Riley did not even care that the other thugs might start attacking him — he just continued slowly sawing the man's neck until he was able to pull it apart.
"Tadaah," Riley stood up and started shaking the head while still holding it by the hair, "I helped him lose weight."
"You—"
One of the other thugs rushed toward Riley, but Riley also rushed toward to meet him — smacking his face with the face of the decapitated head he was holding; its teeth, sticking onto the thug's nose.
"That... I don't know," Aurora sighed, "The Grand Triangle shifts from time to time, and only the location of the island planets remain exactly the same — but the route, path, and things we need to avoid all completely change each time."
"Sounds like a fun place," Miss Pepondosovich breathed out before looking at the sky and the horizon, "I guess beautiful places like this truly are deadly."
"Hm..." Aurora nodded, "...If it wasn't for that fact, then most life would probably be living here — one would be able to freely travel in space even without fancy spaceships. Imagine going on an adventure free of being caged in one. Well... I guess the two of you don't really need to imagine."
"I just noticed," Miss Pepondosovich started looking around. The city they were in just looked like a normal city — maybe it could even be considered old-looking in terms of aesthetics. But most importantly...
"...I've noticed this — but are the majority of the species living in the Unknown... are humanoids? I mean, like you and Riley?"
"Oh..." Aurora also looked around, "...Yes. I do believe we're the majority and—"
"Hey there, sweet cheeks."
And before Aurora could finish her words, several men they passed by going deeper into the city started whistling and calling for her attention.
Aurora, however, did not even glance at them as she pointed her gun at them.
"Woah, relax. We were only joking. Hehehe..."
"See you later, sweet cheeks. We'll be clapping that later."
"It's best not to talk to anyone or mingle with anyone while we're here," Aurora said as she looked at Miss Pepondosovich, "We've already put a target on our backs by killing the gangs earlier, we don't need the additional smoke to... where's Riley Ross?"
"Where do you think?" Miss Pepondosovich smirked. And as soon as she did so, Aurora quickly turned around...
...only to see Riley holding the necks of the two people from the group who taunted her, while the others were lying flat on the floor, clearly dead.
"You..." Aurora could really only close her eyes and sigh, "...Why did you kill them? Their catcalling wasn't bothering me at all, I'm used to it."
"I killed them because they were breathing, Aurora," Riley just shrugged before letting go of the corpses.
"We should stop killing people..." Aurora shook her head, "...This place might be lawless, but there are a lot of gangs and organizations here — and as I told you...
...there are people with abilities here, we are lucky we haven't run into one yet. But if we do...
...with what I have been hearing, they might be even stronger than you, Riley Ross."
