Chapter 158 - Women's Clothing Bar
Chapter 158 - Women's Clothing Bar
The little nobleman's name was written for two weeks, and he himself was safe and sound. Once the names of the daughters of the Duke of Batley and Viscount Grey were written, even if the names were removed or erased, they were still dead.
The Viscount's daughter's death was the most bizarre. No one saw Ning Fei arrive at the scene to check the name. The Viscount also used a maid to pretend to be his daughter and secretly sent his real daughter to the countryside. However, this girl who killed two servants was accurately located by the "God of Death" and died on the night of the seventh day.
The guard who wrote the letter died, but he also succeeded in his revenge. The news began to spread explosively among the common people, and the nobles finally realized the true horror of this matter.
——Anyone can now easily kill a powerful person!
Although this was the case, the news had previously only spread among the nobles, and with so many guards patrolling the square, it was difficult for common people to reach this circle. But the Duke and his son were "executed" on the spot, the guard who wrote the letter roared in anger in the square, and the death of the Viscount's daughter was quietly spread among the civilians by the servants. In just half a month, the reputation of "Devil Ning Fei" had spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The central square has become a death notebook, and anyone can become that pen.
The nobles also had a headache. They began to wonder if they had offended any civilians. If there is a possibility that someone will "go all in", the nobles will even take the initiative. What should I do if I am afraid of revenge? Just eliminate all those who might come to seek revenge!
The guards were originally responsible for patrolling and arresting people, but up to now, whether because they were bewitched or wanted revenge, more than one guard has "rebelled". The names they wrote with their own hands killed three nobles. The powerful people didn't know how to ensure the loyalty of these guards 100%. After much deliberation, they decided to use the usual method - using civilians against civilians.
The patrol mission of the square changed from an order to a reward system. Anyone who catches the person who wrote the name will be rewarded handsomely, whether he is captured alive or killed. If you prevent the person from finishing writing his name, you will be rewarded even more. These bonuses were really tempting. For a time, the guards supervised the people and the guards supervised the guards. Anyone who approached the square for unknown reasons or made unusual movements might be directly identified as the person whose name was to be written. As for whether there would be accidental injuries, no one cared anymore. Who told you to come close or squat down without any reason? This can all be considered a sign of writing your name!
In an instant, the area around the central square turned into a cemetery of wanton killings. The guards became the gods who controlled life and death in this area. They could find excuses to kill any passers-by at any time, and they could also accuse each other and turn against each other openly at any time.
Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong personally killed only a handful of nobles, but the number of civilians who were sentenced to death in connection with this incident quickly increased several times. After this operation, the nobles naturally attracted more hatred.
In addition to the square becoming a "forbidden area", some nobles simply fled the capital with their families. After all, the "devils" are currently killing people around the royal capital. As long as you escape to other places, which is a journey of more than seven days, you may be able to save your life!
They haven't realized yet that Ning Fei's "Seven Days of Killing Fun" rules are quite loose. He was able to follow the "writing name" rule flexibly, so what did it matter whether he was killed within seven days?
This was just a game that Ning Fei mentioned casually.
However, within these seven days, the target still fell on the royal capital.
There were no new names added to the square this time, but the candidates were not the minor nobles who had always been famous in the square, nor were they the people selected by Ning Fei using the turntable to throw darts, but... they were from the "previous list" that Duan Yunhong had been collecting for a while.
"But isn't this the person you want to kill? You should handle it yourself, right?"
Ning Fei held up a delicate veil and frowned speechlessly: "Why do you have to drag me away? I have to wear women's clothes?!"
"It's convenient." Duan Yunhong's tone was calm and confident. "The church is too big, and I'm not familiar with it, but you are. But everyone in the church knows your face, so it's better for you to disguise yourself."
Ning Fei taunted, "If you can't do it, don't kill me. Why should I fulfill your wish?"
Duan Yunhong said: "Isn't it natural to help believers realize their wishes?"
Ning Fei sneered: "Don't pretend. When you climbed into my bed last night, the effect of the light magic had obviously faded a lot."
"Okay, then I won't go to the church, I'll go to the Central Square." Duan Yunhong looked at him and said, "Anyway, I can get a transparent plate and paint it, and I should be able to finish writing before the guards kill me."
Ning Fei: “…”
—Then I have to kill the Pope alone, right?
Although it was not an extremely difficult task, Ning Fei felt uncomfortable because Duan Yunhong had set him up so blatantly and it cost him his life in the small world.
He tutted his words: "Do you really have to do this to harm others and not benefit yourself?"
"It's beneficial to others, no, it's beneficial to you and me." Duan Yunhong pointed at the women's clothing on the bed, "I can use the title of a nobleman, bring a female companion, and easily enter the house. Then when I see the Pope, I can stab him and run away. Isn't it exciting?"
"Not exciting. You must have a more perfect murder plan, why did you use such a crude method? In the end, I had to take the trouble to get you out." Ning Fei narrowed his eyes, "Are you using this whole thing to cover up the fact that you wanted me to wear women's clothes? Just a plate of dumplings wrapped in vinegar, huh?"
"Well, actually there's no need to run." Duan Yunhong took out a paper bag, "I prepared a poison. After taking it, you will feel sleepy first, and then gradually fall asleep. Then, the throat will swell with allergies while you are asleep. Even if you wake up, you won't have the strength to move, and finally you will suffocate to death. The whole process will take about an hour, and it will be slower if you eat less. As long as the Pope starts to feel sleepy, we will leave, and he won't be able to catch us."
Ning Fei stared at the paper bag: "I knew you would have some way to save your life."
"For you, it's just a trivial trick. If you are willing to use light magic to control some people, things will be easier. If you don't want to do it, then I will handle it." Duan Yunhong said, "So, get ready, shall we go?"
"Don't try to avoid this topic. I won't wear it." Ning Fei pointed at the long skirt on the bed. "As soon as the light magic retreated, you took over the command again? Otherwise, I will strengthen the Oracle for you first."
"If you continue to play like this, I can't guarantee that I won't become completely mentally twisted and perverted, and you might be even more annoyed by then." Duan Yunhong said, "How about we just be straightforward and I'll give you 50,000 luck?"
Ning Fei: "...You really just want to see me in women's clothes!" You even paid to see it!
Duan Yunhong: "You have worn those before, I think this is a piece of cake for you. Besides, I am also paying for the luck."
"Before, I did it voluntarily and for fun. How can it be the same now?" Ning Fei snorted and laughed, "How about this, if you come back and wear it for me to see, then I can agree to it."
Duan Yunhong was silent for a long time: "...Okay."
Ning Fei: “…”
——Do you really want to see it?
***
Afternoon, Church Manor.
The Pope had already closed the door and refused to see anyone for security reasons. But Duan Yunhong brought out his noble status and said that his female companion must be blessed by the magic of light, plus his "money power", and finally knocked on the door of the Pope's reception room.
“…That’s good.”
The old pope withdrew his hand and looked solemnly at the lady opposite him. "You will sleep well tonight. When you wake up tomorrow, you will feel more relaxed and comfortable. This is the effect of light magic."
The lady was wearing a moon-white long dress and matching long gloves, and her long dark brown hair was curled into beautiful curves at the ends. Although the veil covered half of her face, her eyes were bright and gentle, and she could still smile: "Thank you very much, I feel relieved now. I have heard of your legend in other provinces for a long time, and today I finally get to see you in person. Please don't mind my rudeness."
Although her voice was a little low and a little overly affected, noble ladies sometimes spoke in this way, and the Pope did not hear anything unusual.
"Blessing everyone is the duty entrusted to us by God." The Pope had obviously received the money, but he had a compassionate expression on his face and replied with a pretentious look, "If you still feel unwell in the future, you can come to the church often to receive blessings. But it's not safe recently, you and Count Andrew, please be careful when you go out."
"Oh, who said it wasn't? The devil is so scary..." The woman picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but accidentally spilled some on herself.
She quickly stood up and, led by other clergymen, left the reception room and went to a nearby room to tidy up. Duan Yunhong watched her go out, and waited until the door of the conference room closed before turning back to look at the Pope: "I'm sorry, she is timid and was frightened by the matter of the 'devil Ning Fei'. Especially the unfortunate death of Viscount Grey's daughter, which frightened her so much that she couldn't sleep all night. That's why I brought her here to receive the blessing."
"Nothing. Maybe she moved here with you from another province and is not used to the local life yet." The Pope said, and began to promote his business again, "She can participate in more church activities..."
The two chatted casually, and after about ten minutes, the woman came back. Although she was tall, her manners and behavior were impeccable, and her beauty could be seen just from her eyes. The Pope watched her coming with a burst of fragrant wind, and even felt that she was more noble than some of the noble ladies in the royal capital. It was only natural that such a person was kept by the Count's side; and it would not be surprising at all if news of their marriage came one day.
The two men quickly said their last goodbyes, and a priest escorted them out on behalf of the Pope. The Pope himself was still sitting in the reception room, drinking tea and reading for a while. Everything was normal.
On this day, there was no news of new names appearing in the square, nor was there any news of the deaths of powerful people. The Pope thought that Ning Fei would not take any action that day, so he went to bed during his usual rest time and drank his usual health-preserving and tranquilizing medicine before going to bed.
The one serving him at this moment was still the clergyman who had taken the woman to the next room to tidy up in the afternoon.
He took the empty medicine bowl, placed it on the tray, and left the Pope's bedroom.
…
The next day, the news of the Pope's death shocked the entire capital.
At noon that day, the reward on the wanted warrant for Ning Fei and his accomplices was increased tenfold.

Mr. Duan used to eat too well, and it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugal, so he can only find food for himself.
