Crunch.
– Huh?
– Ahahah.
Blow.
Striking him in the groin with his freed hand, not holding back one bit.
– AAAAAAA! Damn, you fucking bitch!
He began to get up, but did not take his gaze off the fat man, who was screaming in pain, clutching his groin with both hands. But he did not care about this pitiful sight; right now, another feeling had seized him.
– How pleasant it is to feel freedom! Ahahahaha!
– I'll kill you, you bitch, damn it!
But the boy paid no attention to him.
– Hahaha, Kopii, Kopii, can you hear me, haha! How pleasant, how pleasant, how pleasant! Haahha!
Through tears, he could make out a year-old boy, who spread his arms and looked up, as if talking to someone. But he could not think clearly because of the severe pain.
– Kopii, Kopii… Ahahaha, I understand, you can't hear me! How pleasant it is to see, to hear, to breathe, ahah! What a pleasant feeling! How pleasant! Ahah!
Examining every part of the body, and the more he examined himself, the more it excited him.
– KILL THEM!
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his head, and he froze for a second, but then his smile only widened.
– Of course! How could I forget! – Fully turning towards the fat man, who was trying with all his might to get up.
Because of the joy that he had gained full control over Kopii's body, he had completely forgotten what situation he was in and what they had planned to do with Kopii. His already dark eyes became even deeper and darker. His smile became predatory. But even in it, notes of insane joy slipped through.
– Damn, you bitch!
Slowly getting up on trembling legs, he glared with fury at the boy, who was looking at him but seemed to be elsewhere.
Bang.
But his legs betrayed him; he collapsed again, unable to stand.
– Ow, you bitch! I wanted to be good, but you, damn it, don't deserve it! Fucking cocksucker! I'll, damn it, make you beg for mercy!
– … – Kane's gaze sharpened on the fat man's figure even more after his words.
– Ahahaha! I'll kill you!
Grinding his teeth, he began to get up, and only now noticed that the boy's body had changed, as if every muscle had been pushed to the limit. Before he could think about it, the boy spoke.
– You'll be first! – SLAP. – Hahah! – SLAP. – First, first! – SLAP. Hahaha! – He said at the same second, clapping his hands as he walked up to the pig until he was right at him.
– What the fuc…
Before he could finish, the boy stepped on him. In his current state, resistance was impossible. But even understanding this, he tried; he knew that this boy's body was filled with drugs, but then why.
– Is that all?.. How boring… and what words.
Pressing the pig's head lower and lower, he looked into his shocked eyes, in which fear was rising.
– What's wrong with you? As if you've seen a monster, hahah. Or did you think the drugs would help you? Want to know a secret?
Seeing movement out of the corner of his eye, he brought down a new blow with fresh force.
– Aaaaaaaah. YOU BITCH!!!
– And where was I?
Ignoring the screams, Kane made a thoughtful face, stroking his chin.
– Ah, I remember! Screw you!
– Aagh.
He began pressing a little harder with his foot, but not so hard as to crush his head.
– Why are you silent? And I thought we were friends… You think silence will help you? Remember: sudden movements – pain. Ahha.
Removing his foot, he bent down and began wiping away his tears, making the most innocent face he could.
– Sorry, I didn't mean for it to turn out like this. Let's part peacefully – just tell me how many of you there are, and that's it… Or are you stalling for time? Think it'll help you? Just tell me, and I'll let you go.
– GO TO HELL!!!
– Wrong answer.
He began pressing his finger into his right eye.
– Aaaaa! It hurts, it hurts, stop!
– Just say it!
– Seven, seven, there are seven of us.
He babbled, hoping it would end.
– Aaaaaaaaa! My eye! Damn, you bitch!
– Oops, accident! Sorry, I slightly miscalculated my strength.
Not a drop of regret showed on his face, only a thirst for more. Removing his hand, he grunted in satisfaction as the fat man screamed, covering his right eye with his hand.
– Bitch! Ah, damn! Ah, that's it then, right?! Let me go!
– What? Stop whining and speak more clearly.
– You, ah, promised to let me go! – He said through tears.
– Aaah! I just screwed you over. Or did you seriously believe it?
– You, you bitchhh!
He screamed with the last of his strength. Kane grew tired of it, and he pressed down on the fat man's head with all his might.
– Hey, damn it, what's going on here?…
SLAP.
Splatter.
– Ahha, what a pleasant sound.
– Roy?
– So, who's next?
– ROOOOYYY!!! BASTARD!
– Hey, captain, it seems they're late.
The captain only squinted, continuing to scan the area in anticipation of the bandits.
– We shouldn't have given them half the sum up front. They're probably lying around drunk somewhere… We should have set the meeting at their base, as if it's such a secret. Damn, it's annoying.
Rein jumped down from the tree and walked over to the captain.
– Hey, captain, do you know where their base is?
– Yes, I do.
– Then let's go to them and make them pay for the wasted time.
Rein's irritation had reached its limit. He had disliked this plan from the very beginning. He did not want to trust a bunch of idiots. But the captain's arguments had left him no choice. And now they hadn't even shown up to the meeting. And the main reason Rein wanted to do everything himself was…
This part of the deal, where they would play with him for one day. Rein feared most of all that he would not be the first to break Kopii, and someone else would do it. And on top of that, to use that strong drug that causes weakness. However many pluses he looked for in this, there were far more minuses.
– Let's go. I'm tired of waiting.
– That's what I've been saying. – Rein rejoiced. – I said from the very beginning that they can't be trusted.
---
– What weaklings you are… I'm disappointed. And that one turned out to be a liar.
Sitting on a pile of corpses and watching the last survivor, who was afraid to even look up at him, Kane saw before him only a frightened boy his own age.
– Hey.
– Yes!
– Is this the whole party?
– Yes.
– Seriously?
Kane squinted, noticing how the boy began trembling even harder.
– Yes. – He said in a trembling voice.
Kane kept looking at him with distrust. He clearly remembered the fight with Kopii – he could not stand against these bandits at all, and that meant only one thing: among them was an adventurer above level two. But, having killed everyone, he had not met anyone stronger than him. Or anyone who could amuse him; there simply were none here, that was all.
– Were you working with someone else?
…
Silence is a sign of agreement.
Getting up, Kane walked over to him, bent down, and continued:
– Just tell me, and you will live. I promise.
– I don't know!
– What?
– I don't know! Only the captain knows!
– Ah, yes. What was the captain's name?
– Roy!
Digging through his memories a little, Kane remembered how he had been called Roy when he crushed the fat man's head.
«So he was the captain?.. Wasn't he too weak.»
– I've told you everything I know! Am I free now?
– Yes. Of course, you're free.
Raising his face, the survivor saw a sweetly smiling boy, but the blood-smeared face made this smile terrifying.
Blow.
Bang.
He did not have time to rejoice at his freedom before he saw his own body.
Kane was not bothered by the blood pouring on him like a fountain. He watched as horror and confusion froze in the boy's eyes.
– So, so.
Examining every corpse, he was looking for suitable clothes. Walking around naked was not pleasant.
– Stinks.
– Too small.
– Too big.
– Squeezes my balls. How can anyone wear this? Stinking masochists.
A sudden blurring in his eyes told him that it was time to end his games. The body demanded rest. But Kane did not want to give up the fun – his thirst flared with new force.
– Well, so be it.
It stank, of course, but he smelled no better. It was the most suitable clothing he could find in this situation. But he could not fix the blood on the clothes. So he would have to endure until he found a body of water to wash up.
