On the square in front of the government. The landscape tree that had just been planted was cut down and turned into a bonfire. The abstract sculpture on the side was also torn down, replaced by a bull head made of branches and beef, and Marianne in a white wedding dress with a wreath on the head was standing. In front of the bull's head.

Just now, her newly developed "puppet" came back to report that Sam appeared in the restaurant next to the Mallot Bar.

Marianne weighed it for a moment, and finally made up his mind to personally take the "puppets" to bring Sam back.

…………

When Benny found Kate's house, he was almost shot headshot by Kate, but fortunately, he made a sound in time to avoid a tragedy.

After a series of complicated verifications, Benny, who was confirmed not to be manipulated, was finally able to walk into the room.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Hope leaning against the root of the wall, who had fallen into a coma at this time.

"Hope."

Benny slapped Hope without waking him.

"He should have lost too much blood and fell into a coma." Kate observed the situation outside and said without looking back. "It's also possible that toxins are starting to work."

Benny only noticed the wet touch between his palms. As soon as he was about to turn on the light switch to check, he was stopped by Kate.

"The lights will attract them."

Kate held Benny's hand and said solemnly.

"they?"

Benny repeated it, throwing Kate away, and turned on the switch.

The white light illuminates the darkened room. Under the shining of the light, it can be clearly seen that Hope is wrapped in a thick bandage. The bandage has been dyed into a dark red, viscous red liquid by blood. A small beach accumulated under Hope, slowly flowing towards the low-lying place.

"You better not move."

Benny warned Kate who was about to turn off the light, and carefully removed the bandage to expose the wound inside. On Hope’s chest, there were three deeply visible scratches from the bottom of the neck all the way to the abdomen. The half-palm-wide leather belt was also cut in half, and the flesh of the wound was rolled up and covered with a layer of black mucus. .

"The wisest thing to do now is to take Sam and Adam and drive away immediately."

"In that case, why didn't you leave before?"

"I can't take care of the two of them alone." Kate calmly analyzed. "Once I am blocked, I need someone to open the way."

"Moreover, it is not clear whether this toxin is contagious, and your friend's treatment is of little significance."

Benny ignored Kate, opened the attribute panel, gently covered the wound with his palm, and scattered rays of light.

Star Infusion: Active skill, consumes 100 mana per second, collects the power of the starry sky and infuse it into the friendly unit, and continuously restores the health of the friendly unit. During the duration of Star Infusion, 5 points of health are restored every second. The caster needs to concentrate on gathering the power of the starry sky, and the cost of other skills will be doubled during the cast. (Note: Arcane Nova status +2 unlocked,)

Soon, Hope regained consciousness.

"You can count it." Hope snorted, half-opened his eyes.

"If you don't come again, you really won't see me. It's true this time."

After breathing for a while, Hope added another sentence, and then forced an ugly smile at Benny. After speaking, Hope dropped his head again.

"Don't talk nonsense, you will be safe and sound, I promise."

Benny covered the wound again.

"Old Hammond has no such skill." Hope said with his eyes closed.

"Old Hammond didn't sleep a third of Hawkins, not only that, he never left Hawkins in his entire life."

Benny agreed, his face a little ugly.

His current skills can only keep Hope alive, and if he wants to heal him, he can only be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. He does have resurrection skills, but the mana required is astronomical.

"Brother, don't waste your energy."

Hope put his hand on Benny's wrist and pushed gently "You have to take them away."

"We promised John to take good care of his wife and children and not break our promise."

"Where's JK? Where's Joey? And Jonathan Will and Jonathan, don't you care about it?"

"Joy—Joy—"

Speaking of his family, Hope seemed to be a little more sober. He muttered in a low voice, not knowing what he thought of, and a smile appeared on his pale face.

"Ben, my brother. I believe you can take good care of Joey and teach JK to grow up. I feel relieved to have you."

As he said, Hope made a grunt in his throat, his eyes looked towards the porch, he seemed to see something, and the smile on his face grew warmer.

Benny just felt a sudden breath coming from behind, causing the hairs on his back to stand up, and goose bumps exploded on his neck.

"Who!"

Benny gave a low voice and turned his head. A well-dressed old man was standing behind him.

The old man wore a black top hat and a black dress, with a simple ring on his tail finger, which was very conspicuous.

Seeing Benny's gaze toward him, the old man was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered his calm. He took off his hat and buttoned it on his chest, and gestured slightly to Benny. Then put on his hat and walked towards Hope.

Death knight!

Four faint blue letters were placed on the old man's head.

"You can't take him away!"

"Actually, I can." The old man said calmly, "His time has come."

"no, you can not!"

"Benny?"

Kate watched Benny growl into the air and yelled strangely.

"My boy, I have observed you for a long time. Your origin may be mysterious to others, but not to me."

Benny watched the old man get closer, raised his hand to draw a ball of fire and smashed it.

Facing the fireball, the old man stood there calmly, motionless. The fireball passed through the old man's body and fell to the ground, splashing a piece of sawdust.

"Benny!"

Kate screamed, pulled Sam and Adam behind him, raised his gun and aimed at Benny.

"Your abilities are very strange, like a friend I know." The old man stood there, letting Benny keep attacking.

"It's useless. Your abilities can't hurt me for the time being. Boy, stop."

Benny stopped, glanced at the remaining mana, and released the palm covering Hope's wound. He stood up to face the old man, and pointed out the door.

"Since you have been observing me for a long time, you should know my abilities.

Although I can't hurt you, I can hurt people outside. The whole town. "

The old man was silent for a moment and shook his head and said, "You don't know anything about death. Even if you let a meteorite come again, it will only increase my workload."

"Child, death is not static. When you make up your mind to summon a meteorite, the fate of those who are hit by the meteorite has been rewritten.

No one can escape death. Death is the fairest existence. "
