At this moment, Gu Mu suddenly opened his eyes. After drinking the second bowl of medicine, he had regained control of his body.
It's just very laborious.
Gu Mu stiffly sat up from the bed, stood up, grabbed the clothes next to him, and put them on.
Then he slowly walked forward.
His movements were somewhat strange; he walked like a zombie.
As long as it can move, that's fine.
He urgently needs 34 points to get the seventh Marrow Cleansing Fruit.
Complete marrow cleansing.
Whether or not one can survive the marrow cleansing process is a matter for later.
It shouldn't be like this anymore.
He pushed open the door.
The vigorous maidservant, who had been guarding the door, saw Gu Mu emerge, her eyes lit up, and she was about to shout in surprise—
"Shut up!" Gu Mu said fiercely.
He was very unhappy after lying in bed for a day and a night.
The fierce maid was frightened by Gu Mu's expression.
Perhaps when the regent was still a prince, he pretended to be polite in order to win over his followers.
The regent is now above all others, wielding absolute power...
In addition, having experienced the Empress Dowager's coup and the border wars, he possessed a more ruthless and murderous aura.
The fierce maidservant always felt that something about His Highness was different.
Even a single glance from her could frighten her.
She didn't know that there's a difference between someone who has killed someone and someone who hasn't.
There's a difference between killing a few people and killing hundreds.
Gu Mu's sharp aura was built from countless bones.
Under Gu Mu's reprimand, the fierce maid stood at the door, not daring to move or speak.
They watched as Gu Mu left in a strange manner.
Back in my own yard.
Gu Mu pushed open the door to the assassin's room.
These days, the princess only sent a few people to guard the door, not wanting too many people to disturb Gu Mu's rest, leaving only a few maids who could take care of Gu Mu.
Therefore, he ordered the assassins to stay in his original courtyard and not to approach Xue Luo Courtyard.
In fact, the princess also had her considerations.
After all, Gu Mu was alone with the assassin when the accident happened.
Moreover, the assassins only realized how careless a normal person would be when they arrived at the Prince's mansion.
Shen Ling was unaware that the assassins had no feelings and were merely tools assigned to him by the system.
There is reason to suspect that Gu Mu's coma may be related to the assassins. Preventing the assassins from approaching Xue Luo Courtyard is actually a way to protect Gu Mu.
Even when Gu Mu slept in Xue Luo Courtyard, in Chen Ling's room, it was the same.
Xue Luo Courtyard is Shen Ling's territory, and all the people there are trustworthy to her. Shen Ling will feel at ease if Gu Mu stays in Xue Luo Courtyard while he is unconscious.
And the assassins... although they only obey Gu Mu, according to normal human logic,
Apart from Gu Mu, everyone in the manor obeys Shen Ling's orders.
Gu Mu is currently unconscious, so we cannot give him any instructions.
So he imitated the people around him and followed Shen Ling's instructions, staying obediently in the courtyard and not going out.
This led Gu Mu to come to him in person.
"Master," the assassin said respectfully.
There are still 34 points to go. Gu Mu's experience is that killing one person with one strike will earn him one point.
But if you injure someone first and then kill them, that's two points.
34 points, that's 17 lives lost.
Although there have been instances before where no one died and villain stats were increased, these occurrences were extremely rare, and Gu Mu has yet to draw any conclusions.
Performance evaluations are particularly difficult to obtain.
To obtain 34 points and exchange them for the seventh Marrow Cleansing Fruit, Gu Mu has no choice but to kill someone.
It seems the world really wants to force him into becoming a major villain...
Before Gu Mu transmigrated, he was a law-abiding young man.
"Bring all the death row inmates who are to be executed today from the dungeon. I want to do it myself."
Gu Mu said coldly.
He has taken at least a hundred, if not a thousand, lives.
If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.
“No, I’d rather go to the battlefield,” Gu Mu suddenly said.
He ate the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, and although he barely regained control of his body, his movements were not very convenient.
If I were to suddenly appear in front of a crowd, I would probably attract strange looks.
Of course, that's secondary.
What he feared was being assassinated.
Although the capital was his territory, the battlefield was located in a remote area.
Gu Mu has always relied on his own hard skills; he doesn't trust the protection of others.
However, since the world wants to force him to become a villain.
If he orders someone to bring a death row inmate over, he will do it himself.
Rumors of his cruelty and capriciousness may spread.
Such rumors and gossip do not add to a villain's value.
For example, previous records of Gu Mu's cruelty by historians did not increase his villain value.
Of course, if rumors could increase a villain's value, Gu Mu would definitely have no scruples, first creating negative points, then clearing his name, then creating more negative points, then clearing his name again...
His villainous value must have accumulated to an astonishing level.
Unfortunately, it's not possible.
Therefore, Gu Mu will not let the world have its way.
Having sensed the malice of the world, Gu Mu became more cautious in his actions.
Even when he was going to the battlefield, he didn't just leave the house.
First, send the assassin with his token to the executioner's men on the battlefield to plead for the man's life.
Then, based on the original owner's memories, some highly skilled and absolutely loyal elite soldiers were recruited.
Then have assassins protect you closely.
He also carried some poison powder with him at all times.
Only after all this was prepared did he go to the battlefield.
After all, he had always been very strong in combat, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little uncomfortable with the sudden reduction in his control over his body.
