My sister is Luna
Chapter 10 Escape
Cain, fleeing the village, lost his mind in a rage. He wielded his blade, destroying a large area of forest, proving himself to be the best lumberjack. After regaining his senses, he ran for another night before finally arriving at a stream at sunrise.
Cain bent down, scooped up a handful of water, and splashed it on his tired face to clear his mind. He saw his reflection in the stream.
His fair face, with its sharp, chiseled features, and deep blue eyes tinged with melancholy from an unknown period of fleeing, evoked pity from the noblewomen of Sunset Sea, who longed to hold him close and comfort him with laughter. His long, silvery-white hair was combed back and tied into a ponytail, with only a single, playful strand falling across his forehead and gently brushing against his thick eyebrows. Apart from a slightly immature air, his appearance was virtually identical to Kai from the game King of Glory.
"I... am actually quite handsome."
After a long silence, Cain finally sighed. This wasn't self-praise, but a fact objectively evaluated from a human aesthetic perspective.
After giving his assessment, Cain looked around and asked, "Where have I ended up?"
Kill... The sudden urge to kill surged up from my heart again.
"Ugh... here we go again. Damn it, what kind of cheat is this? Is it trying to force me to become 'Armor'? Is this some kind of legendary world line correction? Am I really that unlucky as a transmigrator?" Cain rubbed his forehead in annoyance.
This feeling suddenly disappeared again.
Cain breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew he wouldn't be able to go back until the hidden danger of that blue energy was resolved.
It's like intermittent mental illness; no one knows when it will strike. He doesn't want to wake up one morning to find his entire family lying dead in front of him.
This is also detrimental to the family; he is now...
Cain looked inward at his body. He was completely unaware of the golden energy that had brought him here. It flowed as usual, and the blue energy also turned into a faint wisp, which was carried along with it and flowed to every corner. But Cain did not underestimate it. It was this sudden growth that allowed him to release his bloodlust by destroying a large forest during his escape. Perhaps he would have killed even more people.
"What the hell is this blue energy? Where can I get rid of it? In the Sunset Sea, perhaps only Milady or Athena from the Sea City can help me. Athena is out of the question; it's impossible to tell if she's friend or foe, and besides, I'm a descendant of the family that betrayed her. Even if she's not at her peak, she can use me as a guinea pig for experiments. Milady is easier to talk to; as a member of the Arcana family, she should help me out of consideration for our relationship. If all else fails, I can use the information gap to make a deal with her..." Cain frowned as he pondered, when he was suddenly interrupted by a sound.
"Hey, kid, robbery! Hand over your valuables!" Two masked, short thieves jumped out of the bushes, brandishing daggers and speaking rudely.
"Ah, a robbery?" Cain didn't expect to be robbed here. Are the people of Sunset Beach so fierce and blind?
“That’s right, if you know what’s good for you, hand over what you had earlier, and we’ll spare your life,” said the slightly taller thief.
"Big brother, don't you think this guy looks pretty handsome? No, doesn't he look a bit familiar?" the shorter thief whispered in the taller thief's ear.
"Now that you mention it, he does look kind of handsome. No, he looks familiar. He's... oh right, isn't he the wanted man in Haidu? Catching him would net you a full ten thousand gold coins." The high-ranking thief looked Cain up and down, then suddenly realized.
"If they're so powerful, should we still rob them?" the short thief asked timidly, shrinking back.
"Of course we'll fight, but it's just kidnapping people. Ten thousand gold coins is enough for us to live a carefree life for half a lifetime," said the thief Gao, turning his head.
“Okay…” After hearing this, the short thief looked ahead and then froze: “Big…Big Brother, he’s gone.”
"What?" Gao the Thief looked around and found that Cain was nowhere to be seen.
"What are you all standing there for? Chase after them!" the thief Gao said angrily. "Ten thousand gold coins! If they just get away like this, we'll lose a fortune!"
The two thieves quickly chased after them along the stream.
"Hahaha, these two thieves aren't very smart. They're robbing people and they're still chatting amongst themselves. Sigh, this generation of thieves is no good, pfft hahaha..."
As Cain ran, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, recalling the comical scene of the two thieves whispering to each other before realizing he was gone.
"Ugh... here we go again!" Cain stopped in his tracks, the desire to kill surging up in his heart again, and a wisp of blue energy within his body began to glow brightly.
Kill... I really want to kill... destroy...
"Finally caught up with you, you rascal, ha...ha...you're really fast." Just then, two more thieves caught up.
Cain's bloodlust intensified as he looked at the two men. He didn't want to succumb to this urge, so he covered his forehead and suppressed his anger, saying in a trembling voice, "You, you can still run now. If you don't want to die, stay away from me. Go now!"
"Brother, what's wrong with this guy? Something's not right." The short thief looked at Cain trying hard to suppress something and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Hmph, he's probably sick or scared, just making things up," Gao the Thief said disdainfully, then looked at Cain with greedy eyes: "Ten thousand gold coins is enough for us to live a carefree life for a long time. We'll drink the strongest wine and have the most beautiful girls."
“That’s right, brother, let’s hurry up and catch him for the reward, we can’t let someone else beat us to it.” The short thief was quickly tempted by the tall thief’s words and began to lose his fear.
“That’s right, hahaha…” In the eyes of the thieves, Cain had become piles of gold coins. Greed had taken over their already not-so-bright brains, making them blind. They didn’t consider any risks. They just wanted to exchange Cain for the bounty.
"You brought this on yourselves, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand!"
As he finished speaking, Cain slowly approached the two thieves who refused to listen to his advice. He could no longer restrain himself; blue lines began to intertwine before his eyes, and the vast bloodlust in his heart was gradually causing him to lose himself.
Finally, he pulled out the blade.
"No, no! Ahhhhhh!"
"Help! Someone save me! I was wrong! I'll never rob anyone again! Ahhh!!!"
Screams echoed throughout the stream.
……
"Sigh, it seems we really should head to Haidu as soon as possible and see if Milady has any ideas on how to deal with her mechanical skills." Cain sighed as he sat by the stream. Behind him were two small mounds of earth, which would be a proper burial for the two thieves.
"If she has no other choice, then she can only go to the East. There are many talented people and heroes there. Jixia Academy and the Origin Land are the most likely places. I don't know if I will meet Hua Mulan again. After all, we have to go through the Great Wall, unless we take the sea route."
"Wait for me, little sister. I'll come back as soon as I recover."
……
Cain's bounty skyrocketed, plunging him into a seemingly inescapable predicament for a time. He desperately wanted to keep a low profile, but his constant hiding and fleeing meant he always encountered mercenaries eager to capture him, like a pack of sharks that had caught the scent of blood, ready to tear him apart.
He usually chooses to run away, avoiding fighting whenever possible. However, the urge to kill always surfaces from time to time, causing those people to suffer and increasing his "value." Once he comes out dead or alive, more greedy people take risks for money, only to pay the price and die. Cain's value increases again, attracting more "sharks" until he gains a reputation that strikes fear into the hearts of mercenaries, making him a taboo subject. His value finally reaches its peak of 300,000. In just one month, Cain wandered around the Sunset Sea Continent without even reaching the Sea Capital, yet his strength has reached level 12.
The brutal murderer Cain was also rumored to be a legend on the continent, with all sorts of exaggerated stories circulating. Rumors of the murderer Cain appearing in various places, and people impersonating Cain to perform supernatural feats, caused widespread panic. His deeds were so terrifying that they could even stop children from crying.
This plunged Cain into distress and anger. He was the one being hunted, and to avoid harming innocent people when his illness flared up, he traveled to remote places. The mercenaries and the bounty hunters made the situation even more complicated, as if they were confirming that Cain was the ruthless demon king, while they were all victims, doing the work of ridding the people of evil.
But as the bounty increased and the number of murders grew, he became accustomed to the gruesome deaths he witnessed, and his heart grew numb and indifferent. Habit is truly terrifying.
Cain had once fallen so low that he wanted to give up and simply immerse himself in this world of bloodshed and killing, never to look back. However, whenever Luna's gentle smile and his parents' expectant eyes appeared in his mind, the deep-seated concern in his heart was like a strong rope, tightly binding his hand that had fallen into the abyss, giving him the courage and motivation to get back on his feet.
