Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 17: Do you believe in the legends?
Seventh shouted out, and before him was the blood moon. Since his village had settled in this place, this was the first time such a terrifying phenomenon had appeared. Adding to the earlier dream, it felt too real. It didn’t resemble a dream at all; it was more like a warning, or, more accurately, a prophecy. The blood moon, dead bodies, the smell of blood, insects, flies – everything was horrifying. He remembered the scene from the painting; it was unmistakably his village. He couldn’t be wrong. Everything was eerily familiar, from the structure, location, shape, to the dead thornbushes. And the house in the dream, the one with the wind chimes hanging outside, that was his house. That was undeniable. The words of the person in the red robe repeated in Seventh’s mind once again: “Your village will face calamity!” Those words were indeed a prophecy, and the recent harsh weather was a sign, a warning. His village had committed an offense against a higher power.The next morning, Seventh
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 18: Mrs. Laura, are you there?
Regarding Elena’s question, Jonas didn’t offer many words. He used his scientific knowledge to explain the phenomenon:“First, the Moon doesn’t have any inherent color. It shines because its surface reflects the sunlight. During a total lunar eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned, with the Earth positioned in the middle, blocking the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon. In theory, the Moon should be completely dark as it receives no direct sunlight. However, in reality, some of the Sun’s rays still manage to indirectly reach the Moon through the Earth’s atmosphere and cast a red, orange, or yellow hue upon it. Specifically, as the Sun’s light passes through the Earth’s atmosphere, certain colors in the light spectrum, such as short-wavelength colors like blue, get filtered out and scattered. Longer-wavelength colors like orange, red, pass through the Earth’s atmosphere and are refracted at the Earth’s edge, casting these hues upon the Moon.”Jonas tried to provide a succinct ex
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 19: Jonas can stay at my place
In an alley at the end of the village, a scream rang out, it was Elena’s voice. Elena sat down on the ground and quickly dragged her body out, her face was cut without a drop of blood.Elena’s scream attracted many people to come running. Some people are worried, but others are just curious.In just five minutes, the alley was filled with people. Jonas was also there.What caught everyone’s eye was the body of a woman hanging in the air. That’s right, someone just hanged himself here.That person’s body became purple because the blood could not circulate, and his face was also deformed. It is very difficult to determine who that person is. However, based on age and clothing, it was easy to recognize that person as Laura - the old woman living with Jonas.The rope was passed through a light pole and hung down, about one meter, seven or eight meters above the ground, which was ten centimeters higher than Laura’s height. Her body had already changed color, and there was a long scar on he
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 20: I’m Karl, a bartender.
All eyes turned towards the source of the sound.“I’m Karl, a bartender.” Karl hesitated before speaking. People’s first impression of him was his massive build and tanned skin. He looked extremely imposing, standing at around six feet nine inches. His dark skin was characteristic of those who endured the sun and rain. His voice was raspy, and he appeared to be around thirty to forty years old.“Alright, then, we’ll have Karl take care of Jonas for now,” Liliana spoke up.“What do you think, Jonas?” Liliana turned to ask Jonas.“I don’t have an opinion.”And with that, they lowered Bà Laura’s body and moved it to the rear of the medical facility. After all, this was the place equipped with all the tools and equipment for conducting post-mortem examinations. As things settled down, one by one, everyone returned home.That night, Jonas lay next to Karl, unable to sleep. Each time he closed his eyes, he remembered Bà Laura. She had treated him well and was the only family he had in this
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 21: We will find the truth behind Mrs.Laura’s death.
The atmosphere was eerily silent, with no one making a sound when, at that moment, someone forcefully pushed open the door to Elena’s room. A burly white man entered, none other than Ethan.With no hint of respect, he walked over to where Jonas was standing, his eyes filled with provocation.“There’s no need for further investigation; I already know who the murderer is,” Ethan arrogantly declared.“Ethan, who are you referring to?” Lord Armstrong looked at Ethan with suspicion.“Your Grace, the person in question is standing right here. That’s right, it’s Jonas.”Ethan’s unequivocal statement surprised everyone in the room. All eyes immediately turned toward Jonas.In response to the accusation coming from Ethan, Jonas showed no signs of agitation. He knew that the man in front of him was simply making baseless claims with no evidence.“Ethan, can you provide a reason for saying I’m the murderer?”“Hmph, you still deny it at this point. So, let me ask you this: you’re supposed to be b
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 22: Liliana, look, it’s a lamp frame
“Daisy, that’s enough,” Liliana, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, intervened. She walked straight to where Daisy was sitting and gently pulled her up.As Daisy saw Liliana, she inexplicably felt a great sense of fear, making her jump and accidentally knocking over her teacup onto the floor.“Liliana, I’m serious. I feel there’s danger lurking around us,” Daisy stammered.“Enough, Daisy. Don’t sit here and create scary fantasies. There are no sinister forces. You’re just scaring yourself,” Liliana responded loudly, showing her annoyance towards those who overthink and get carried away with their imaginations.“But, Liliana…” Daisy reached for Liliana’s hand, wanting to say something. However, faced with Liliana’s stony gaze, she stopped.“Liliana, I know you’re afraid of what’s happening. You’ve been sheltered your whole life and haven’t been exposed to the outside world much, so this might be your first powerful reaction to something like this. But please believe me, it’s n
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 23: Someone is here.
On that night, Jonas still slept with Karl. They didn’t exchange any words, as if they each had their own thoughts. The matter of Mrs. Laura troubled Jonas. So far, the clues remained too vague, and they hadn’t even found a suspicious person. Could it really be, as Seventh had suggested, vengeful spirits returning? No, that hypothesis was too absurd. Jonas quickly dismissed this far-fetched idea. Yes, he was convinced that everything was the work of human hands. Jonas thought about the note he had found under his bed, hidden there by Mrs. Laura. But for what purpose? Jonas couldn’t see with his eyes, but he was sure something had been written or drawn on it. According to Jonas’s sense, it wasn’t regular writing; it resembled a unique character.Another problem that Jonas was pondering was how to get medical equipment for the injured people from the train accident. Although Liliana had said she would go on a trip to the nearby town to find medical equipment, Jonas was concerned about h
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 24: Your job now is to keep a closer eye on Karl
The next morning, Jonas woke up to a strong metallic smell of blood. Compared to the previous day, the scent was much stronger. People passing by on the street might even think that Karl and Jonas had just killed a large animal. If not, the room would not have been filled with such a horrifying smell.Jonas struggled to sit up, feeling exhausted by the events of the past few days. As he touched the nearby pillow, he suddenly jerked back. He had touched something sticky and wet. When he raised his hand to his nose, Jonas was horrified to realize that it was human blood, Karl’s blood. The entire pillow next to him was soaked in fresh blood, creating a gruesome and eerie combination of the white pillow and the crimson of blood. It wasn’t limited to just the pillow; the side of the bed where Karl lay was also smeared with blood, and Jonas occasionally felt something rough, like human skin.Ants, as if sensing a feast, had gathered on the bed Jonas was lying on. They created their nests, g

Chapter 135: The end!
Facing Evan and Brendan’s questions, Jonas remained silent saying nothing. He had a strange feeling; normally, whenever Alice appeared, only he could see her. But this time was different; Alice appeared open in front of everyone. This made Jonas suspicious, finally thinking that Alice had some malicious intentions.“Jonas, our system has an issue. Do you want to reset everything?” Without waiting for Jonas to respond, Alice went straight to the point, a smile still on her lips.“System issues? Is there really a problem with the system, or is this some damn scenario of yours?”“The system is indeed having problems. You should reset everything!” Alice repeated her words.Jonas had run out of patience by now. He directly exposed Alice’s true face and what she called the system.“There’s nothing wrong here! Everything is your play. Why did door open earlier? Don’t tell me it opened coincidentally, with no arrangement! Everything, all of it, is your script!” When this door suddenly opened,

“It’s... it’s Cuktor!” Etham pointed towards Cuktor, the one who had just dealt a blow to Charlette. All present there looked at Cuktor with wide eyes. His unexpected appearance, standing alongside Jonas and his group, was a shock to them. None of them had ever dreamed of a day when Cuktor and Jonas’ team would stand together on the same battlefield.“No need to look at me with such wide eyes. I’m not here to protect you all. I’m here just to protect my chance to return to my paradise!” Cuktor turned towards Jonas’ group and spoke. The reason he took the risk to come here was singular – to protect Jonas’s eyes. Lucia’s eyes had been elusive for nearly a thousand years; he had even turned Christina’s parents’ house upside down, finding no clues. Now, if Jonas’s eyes fell into Charlette’s hands, any chance of returning to his paradise would be utterly lost.On Charlette’s side, she was shocked that she had been ambushed, and the ambusher was none other than Cuktor, the one who considere

Etham, Evan, Christina, and Mei landed on the ground in a heap. Before them lay an incredibly unfamiliar space.“Darn! Where on earth is this?” Etham said, brushing off the dust on his clothes. Just a second ago, they were still in Christina’s house, and now they found themselves in this strange place.Evan glanced around, shaking his head. This was also his first time in this location. Evan had never heard his grandfather mention this place before.“But don’t you guys think this place is incredibly luxurious?” The one speaking was Christina. Having lived in a luxurious mansion her whole life, there was hardly anything in the world she hadn’t seen. But a place this extravagant was a first for Christina.“Exactly! Look, everything is gold-plated, especially the door frame, which is grand and dazzling! Not to mention crystal, gems, and precious stones. Just counting the cost of craftsmanship and design alone is already an enormous figure! These things are all exquisitely designed,” Evan

“There was one time I saw it in my parents’ room! A painting exactly like this scenery!” Mei exclaimed, surprised. She was sure she had seen it before, in her parents’ study! A painting identical to the forest in front of them.“Mei, are you sure?” Christina leaned down to ask Mei, her eyes filled with both hope and a hint of doubt.“I’m sure.”As soon as Mei said that, three pairs of eyes turned towards each other. Evan, Etham, and Christina - they could be the only hope and opportunity for these three.“Let’s go!”Evan was the first to change direction and run towards Christina’s house. Etham, Christina, and Mei pursued suit. They sprinted with all their might. Christina’s house was where Lucia’s eyes were kept, guarded by Christina’s parents. They were secretive, profound, and held many secrets. What they knew about this forest and its related stories seemed to be certain. For Evan’s group, only by unraveling the secrets of the forest could they find Jonas and Brendan. Time was run

The empty wooden bedspread, Brendan, had disappeared for a while now. Outside, the wind grew stronger with each passing moment, blowing the curtain straight into the empty room.“Brendan is missing!” Evan shouted loudly. In his heart, there was a great deal of anxiety; he didn’t know what was happening and couldn’t guess which force had taken Brendan away. Now they were stuck between Cuktor and the force behind that green-eyed bird. One wrong step could ruin the entire chessboard.“What’s going on? What’s happening?” Etham, one hand covering a yawn, the other hastily putting on a coat, rushed out of his room. He had been sleeping soundly when he heard Evan’s voice. Though he didn’t know what was happening, he came running.Behind Etham were Christina and Mei. Unlike Etham, the two siblings seemed much more alert.“Evan, what’s going on? Why did you say Brendan is missing?” Christina looked at Evan skeptically, clasping her younger sister’s hand.Evan was also quite distressed now; Bre

Chapter 130: Etham, something’s wrong with Jonas!
“I’m sorry, I... I... I was just scared of you!” Brendan trembled incessantly. In reality, he had intended to lie like the others, saying that Charlette was good and beautiful just to get through the situation. However, Brendan couldn’t bring himself to do it. He didn’t come here willingly, nor did he willingly eat those foods. He did all those things out of fear. Furthermore, looking at Jonas gave Brendan the motivation to speak the truth. The girl who claimed to be the queen brought him here for one reason only – to force Jonas to give her his eyes. Since then, she had been providing reasons to persuade Jonas. If Brendan now lied, saying Charlette was a good person, the probability of fooling Jonas would be higher. Brendan knew that Jonas trusted those around him, and the words of those subordinates might not be believed, but Brendan’s words sometimes could sway Jonas. Perhaps that was why Charlette asked Brendan if she was a good person. She only wanted to prove to Jonas that givin

Chapter 129:
Jonas contemplated Charlette. He knew this was the highest price Charlette could offer for this deal. Charlette was not wrong; if he agreed to her request, both he and she would benefit, with him gaining the most. Unfortunately, Jonas had no intention of making this deal with Charlette from the start. The world was not only filled with beautiful landscapes and vibrant colors but also with dark and sordid corners. If he handed over his eyes to Charlette, those dark corners would likely expand. Jonas lived not only for himself but also for others in this world, especially for those he loved. Evan, Etham, Brendan—surely they didn't need protection from the likes of Charlette. Protection traded for the lives and peace of others. He knew that even Selena and Karl at the Nine Springs did not want him to do such a thing."Charlette, I apologize, but I decline this deal."Charlette, who was brimming with confidence just moments ago, jumped in anger. She couldn't believe Jonas would make such

Chapter 128: Jonas, everything is very beautiful, isn't it? Isn't it much better than the darkness?
Upon hearing this, Charlette's face turned reddish-purple, and she felt infuriated. She did everything for this world, yet Jonas dared to label her as the villain. She was the queen, the mistress here, and every action she took was for the sake of people as naive as Jonas."Damn it! I am the queen. I treat everyone kindly and generously!" Charlette yelled at Jonas. From the largest to the smallest, Charlette had not encountered anyone as ignorant as Jonas. Clearly, she had welcomed such a wretch with open arms, and he had the audacity to doubt that Charlette was evil. Even his friend Brendan had been warmly received by her. One could question what delicacies Brendan had enjoyed since arriving!"In the end, can't maintain that calm and gentle demeanor?" Jonas teased as he turned his head towards Charlette. He knew Charlette had been dissatisfied with him for a long time. From the beginning until now, she had always been clawing at him to keep herself calm. It seemed that Charlette's na

Chapter 127: Evil or good?
"Why, feeling shaken, aren't you?" Charlette spoke with a smile, knowing that Jonas would be moved by this condition."What do you want, in the end?""It's simple, Jonas. I want to make a trade with you. You see, you have something I need, and coincidentally, I have something you need."Jonas could vaguely guess what Charlette was referring to. He just couldn't comprehend why, if she wanted it, she didn't just take it directly. Clearly, she had plenty of opportunities to do so. Maybe even now, even if Charlette wanted to take it, he couldn't resist.Charlette approached Jonas, and her small hand extended to delicately touch his face. She traced her fingers up to his eye, seeming to examine it closely."These eyes are truly beautiful. If they fully fulfill their inherent purpose, they will be even more stunning." Charlette spoke with a sinister smile. What she wanted was indeed his eyes, just like Cuktor. Initially, she didn't want to involve herself with Cuktor's influence, but now th
