[A few hours later...]

The door to Reed's room opened, and a man carrying a bowl walked in.

The man said without any politeness, "This is food," and finally placed the bowl next to Reed.

Reed looked at the bowl and saw that it contained only plain rice porridge, with no side dishes.

The man put down the bowl and slammed the door shut as he left. Reid waited a while in case the man suddenly opened the door and came back in.

I looked at the white porridge and removed my lip jewelry.

"Glug, glug," Reed finished it in two gulps; this amount was far from enough to fill him up.

Reed was about to get out of bed to find something to eat, and was just about to lift his legs...

Upon discovering that his legs were bound with several wooden planks, Red reached out and pulled them off without hesitation.

Red destroyed the wooden planks used to secure the legs and set them aside.

After tearing off some of the cumbersome bandages, Red walked around, looking at his surroundings.

An ordinary wooden house, and some ordinary items—nothing particularly interesting...

Red walked to the window and looked outside. There were pedestrians, but not many, and they were all young men and women; there were no elderly people or children at all.

Reed looked up at the sky

The sun is already at its zenith. "It's already noon..."

Since you're only eating at noon...

Reed glanced at the blood-stained bandage; it seemed the bleeding had stopped.

Was it really out of kindness that they saved me?

At least my physical condition is much better; some wounds have scabbed over, and my head isn't as dizzy as before.

Reed put the mouth ornament back on.

Red tugged at the doorknob and found it wasn't closed. He turned the doorknob and went outside.

First, we arrived at the living room, but it didn't look luxurious; the dwellings of ordinary people in this world were quite ordinary...

The woman saw Reed come out and walked over, saying, "Why are you out here? Is your injury healed?"

Reed simply nodded, and the woman smiled and said, "So soon? Fine! Since that's the case, let me introduce you."

"My name is Lifen, and the man who brought you the porridge just now is my husband, Kaifen."

Reed ignored him and instead walked towards the door.

I still have to go to Nevada, so I'm too lazy to talk about these pointless things.

Seeing Reed about to leave, Lifen called out, "Wait! If you leave like this, your wound will reopen!"

"Why don't you stay here for a few nights? Your wound is infected and will need some time to heal..."

After the woman finished speaking, Reed indeed stopped.

Reed began to recall what the woman had said: How could anyone beg someone to eat and drink for free?

But Reed didn't think much of it; getting free food and drinks was a good thing, and attacking him would be suicide.

I do have some wounds that require rest, and I don't know if there are any other dangers in Nevada.

Reed nodded in agreement. "Okay."

The woman exclaimed with delight, "Then introduce yourself!"

My name is Redner.

"Hello, Redner, what happened that caused you to be so badly injured?"

"do not know……"

"Uh……"

"And this coat of yours is..."

Reed had already put his sword away.

Reed said, "My equipment..."

"Is there anything special about it...?"

"do not know"

Lifen was speechless; the other party hadn't revealed any information whatsoever, basically keeping her completely in the dark.

Lifen got up from her chair and said to Reid, "Then you can move around as you like, I'm leaving now."

After Lifen finished speaking, she went inside. Reid responded with an "oh."

During this time, Red encountered no danger, and his other wounds slowly healed thanks to the Galaxy Child's necklace.

[7pm…]

Red's sleeping place was moved to a woodshed outside the house.

Red had no complaints about the accommodations; he took the pillow the couple had given him, placed it on the floor, and lay down.

They encountered no danger today, the couple did not poison their food, and even inquired about their wounds.

As long as Reid thought back to his time in the Story of Everything Guild, only now he was in an unfamiliar place...

I wonder if those two are still alive or not...

Reed was thinking about it and then he prepared to go to sleep.

"Huh? Am I seeing things..." Reed rubbed his eyes and stood up.

Reed saw red dots suddenly appear around him, emitting a red glow.

To be precise, the entire woodshed was emitting red dots, and Reed sensed something was wrong.

He quickly kicked open the woodshed door and went out.

Reed initially thought it was the couple's trick, but he was stunned when he opened the door and looked outside.

Outside, unexpectedly, red dots were also floating around; countless red dots were drifting in the air.

The others also came out of the house, frantically asking the others questions.

Even the couple seemed panicked, running out unsure of what to do.

"What! What are these points of light?!"

"What is this?! My house is full of it!"

"Are they outside too?! No, they're all over this whole area!"

Reed looked around; the points of light seemed to appear only within the village.

Judging from the expressions of the other people, they also seemed completely clueless and confused.

That's strange, what's this point of light?

Just as Reid was confused, these points of light suddenly all drifted towards the same place.

The place was not far outside the village; the others saw it and headed towards it.

"Those red lights flew towards that place!"

"Have we been discovered?! No! Stop these things!"

Everyone was running in the same direction, and Reed initially didn't want to get involved.

After all, the lives and deaths of these people and these points of light had nothing to do with him.

But then I remembered that the couple had saved me...

Okay, let's go take a look first...

Reed thought about it and figured he had nothing better to do, and besides, after the red lights gathered in that spot, some white lights started floating up from the ground.

Reed stretched his body; he was basically fully recovered.

Reed assumed a running posture and ran towards that place!

Although there were torches nearby, it was still somewhat dark, so everyone else only felt a gust of wind.

"Why did such a strong wind suddenly appear just now?"

"Hey, did something fly by?"

"Never mind it, it's probably just some kind of animal! Look, there are white spots of light on the ground again!"

Because Reed was faster, he arrived at the scene first.

Red climbed over the fence and went outside, lifting the bushes beside him.

Reed saw the scene before him: first, a huge magic circle on the ground!

The magic circle was ridiculously large, and its icon was a hand—many hand symbols.

There are fingers, palms, arms, and hands of other creatures...

Reed looked up and saw two figures, one tall and one short, in the center of the magic circle.

The tall man was an old man with a white beard, wearing clothes that Red didn't recognize.

The shorter person is a girl, and the clothes she's wearing look like a noblewoman's gown.

Anyway, the red dots in the middle gathered together and formed the shape of a hand.

The other white dots also gathered with the red dots, the red dots forming blood and flesh.

White dots form the hand bones

And at the very moment they were all gathered

"Sizzle!" The girl in the gorgeous dress suddenly had both arms severed!

A sudden, sharp pain caused the girl to fall to the ground, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Just then, Red sensed danger and jumped forward.

A flash of light appeared where he had just stood, and Reid's leap was seen by the two people in the center of the magic circle.

When the girl saw Reed suddenly appear, she coughed up blood and trembled as she said, "Help...help me..."
