Chapter 158 – Dressing as a Woman

The small nobleman’s name was written two weeks ago, and he was still safe and sound. But the Duke of Bartley and the Viscount of Grey’s daughter, once their names were written, even if the names were removed and erased, they still died.

The Viscount’s daughter died the most bizarrely. No one saw Ning Fei go to the scene to write the name. The Viscount even used a maid to impersonate his daughter, secretly sending the real daughter to the countryside. However, the girl who killed two servants was still precisely located by the “God of Death” and died on the seventh night.

The guard who wrote the names died, but he also succeeded in his revenge. This news began to spread explosively among the common people, and the nobles finally realized the truly terrifying aspect of this matter.

–Anyone can now easily kill a powerful person!

Although this was already the case, before, the news only spread among the nobles. There were also so many guards patrolling the square, making it difficult for ordinary people to access this circle. But the Duke and his son were “executed” on the spot, the guard who wrote the names roared in the square, and the death of the Viscount’s daughter was quietly spread among the common people by the servants. In just half a month, the name of “Devil Ning Fei” had spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The central square had become a Death Note, and anyone could become the pen.

The nobles also had a headache. They began to calculate whether they had offended any commoners. If there was a possibility of someone “going all in,” the nobles would even strike first. What if they were afraid of being avenged? They would just eliminate those who might seek revenge!

The guards were originally responsible for patrolling and arresting people, but now, whether because they were bewitched or because they wanted revenge themselves, more than one guard had “rebelled.” The names they personally wrote had killed three nobles. The powerful people didn’t know how to ensure the guards’ loyalty one hundred percent. After thinking about it, they decided to adopt their usual method—using commoners against commoners.

The patrolling mission of the square changed from an order to a reward system. Whoever caught the person writing the name, whether alive or dead, would be heavily rewarded. If they stopped this person from finishing writing the name, they would be rewarded even more. These bonuses were so tempting that for a time, guards supervised the people, and guards supervised the guards. Anyone who approached the square for no reason, or whose movements were a little abnormal, could be directly identified as someone going to write a name. As for whether they would accidentally injure someone, no one cared anymore. Who told you to approach for no reason, to squat down for no reason? These could all be considered signs of writing a name!

For a time, the area near the central square became a graveyard of wanton slaughter. The guards became the gods in charge of life and death in this area, able to kill any passing commoners at any time with an excuse, or to arbitrarily accuse each other and then openly turn against each other.

Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong had only personally killed a few nobles, but the number of commoners executed for being related to this matter quickly increased several times. With this operation, the nobles naturally provoked more hatred.

In addition to the square becoming a “forbidden area,” some nobles simply fled the capital with their families. After all, currently the “devil” was killing people around the capital. As long as they fled to another place, more than seven days away, they might be able to save their lives!

They hadn’t realized that Ning Fei’s “Killing Spree Seven-Day Event” rule was quite loose. He could flexibly abide by the rules of “writing names,” so what did it matter whether they were killed within seven days?

This was originally just a game Ning Fei casually came up with.

However, within these seven days, the target was still in the capital.

This time, no new names were added in the square, but the candidates were not the small noble whose name had been hanging in the square, nor were they the people Ning Fei chose by throwing darts with a turntable, but…from Duan Yunhong’s “ex-list” that he had been collecting for a while.

“But isn’t this someone you want to kill? Shouldn’t you take care of it yourself?”

Ning Fei frowned speechlessly, holding a delicate veil: “Why do you have to drag me in? I have to dress as a woman?!”

“Convenient.” Duan Yunhong’s tone revealed a sense of self-righteousness: “The church’s interior is too big, and I’m not familiar with it, but you are. But the people in the church all know your face, so it’s better for you to disguise yourself.”

Ning Fei taunted: “If you can’t do it, then don’t kill. Why do I have to help you fulfill your wish?”

Duan Yunhong said: “Isn’t it natural to fulfill the wishes of believers?”

Ning Fei sneered: “Stop pretending. 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 stared at him and said, “Anyway, I’ll grab a see-through template, brush it with paint, and I should be able to finish writing before the guards kill me.”

Ning Fei: “…”

–Then I’d have to go kill the Pope alone, right?

Although it wasn’t an extremely difficult task, being so blatantly tricked by Duan Yunhong, and using the life he had in the small world in exchange, Ning Fei felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.

He clicked his tongue: “Do you have to be so harmful to others and yourself?”

“It’s beneficial to others, no, it’s beneficial to you and me.” Duan Yunhong pointed to the women’s clothing on the bed, “I’ll use the title of a noble, bring a female companion, and easily enter the door. Then I’ll see the Pope, stab him and run. Isn’t that exciting?”

“Not exciting. You must have a more perfect murder plan, why use such a crude method? In the end, I still have to work hard to get you out.” Ning Fei narrowed his eyes, “Don’t tell me you’re packaging this whole thing just to get me to dress as a woman? Using a whole plate of dumplings for a bit of vinegar, huh?”

“Okay, actually you don’t need to run.” Duan Yunhong took out a paper packet, “I’ve concocted a poison. After taking it, you’ll feel sleepy first, gradually falling asleep. Then, while you’re asleep, your throat will become allergic and swollen. Even if you wake up, you won’t have the strength to move, and finally you’ll suffocate to death. The whole process will take about an hour. Eating less will be slower. As long as the Pope starts to feel sleepy, we’ll leave, and they won’t be able to catch us.”

Ning Fei stared at the paper packet: “I knew you wouldn’t be without some life-saving methods.”

“For you, it’s just a trivial skill. If you’re willing to use Light Magic to control some people, things will be easier. If you don’t want to do it, then I’ll handle it.” Duan Yunhong said, “So, get ready, let’s go?”

“Don’t try to get around this topic, I’m not wearing it.” Ning Fei pointed to the long skirt on the bed, “As soon as the Light Magic fades, you’re ordering me around again? Or should I strengthen ‘Divine Revelation’ for you again?”

“If you keep playing like this, I can’t guarantee that I won’t become completely psychologically twisted and perverted. You might be even more annoyed by then.” Duan Yunhong said, “Or let’s just be straightforward, I’ll give you 50,000 Fate Points?”

Ning Fei: “…You really just want to see me dressed as a woman!” You’re even paying money to see it!

Duan Yunhong: “You’ve worn those things before, I think this is a piece of cake for you. Besides, I’m paying Fate Points.”

“I wore those before voluntarily, it’s a fetish, how can it be the same?” Ning Fei chuckled, “How about this, if you come back and wear it for me, then I can agree to you.”

Duan Yunhong was silent for a long time: “…Okay.”

Ning Fei: “…”

–You want to see it that much!

Afternoon, the Church Manor.

The Pope was originally not seeing anyone due to security reasons. But Duan Yunhong raised his noble status, and also said that his female companion must receive the blessing of Light Magic, plus “money power,” finally knocking open the door to the Pope’s reception room.

“…That’s good.”

The elderly Pope withdrew his hand and looked solemnly at the lady who had just withdrawn her hand opposite him: “Tonight, you will surely have a good night’s sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, your condition will be even 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 the ends of her dark brown hair curled into beautiful arcs. Although the veil covered half of her face, her eyebrows and eyes were bright and gentle, still able to convey a smile: “Thank you, in that case, I can rest assured. I have long heard of your legend in the outer provinces. Today, I finally got to see you. Please don’t mind my presumptuousness.”

Although her volume was a little low and her voice was somewhat overly affected, noble ladies sometimes spoke with such a clipped voice, so the Pope didn’t hear anything unusual.

“Blessing everyone is the responsibility that the gods have given us.” The Pope, despite having received the money, still had a compassionate expression, replying with that pretentious look, “If you have any discomfort in the future, you can often come to the church to receive blessings. But it’s not safe recently. You and Earl Andrew must be careful when going out.”

“Ah, who says it isn’t? The devil is too scary…” The woman picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but accidentally spilled some on herself.

She quickly stood up and left the reception room under the guidance of other clergy members to tidy up in a nearby room. Duan Yunhong watched her leave, and only turned back to look at the Pope after the meeting room door closed: “I’m sorry, she’s timid and scared by the ‘Devil Ning Fei’ incident. Especially the unfortunate death of the Viscount of Grey’s daughter, which has scared her so much that she can’t sleep all night. That’s why I brought her here to receive blessings.”

“It’s nothing. Perhaps she moved here with you from the outer provinces and isn’t used to the local life yet.” The Pope said, and then began to promote his services again, “She can participate in some church activities more…”

The two of them chatted aimlessly like this. After ten minutes, the woman returned. Although she was a little taller, her demeanor and manners were impeccable. Her beautiful eyes were immediately visible. The Pope, watching her flutter over with a gust of fragrance, even felt that she was more noble than some noble ladies in the capital. It was only natural for such a person to be taken by the Earl. It wouldn’t be surprising if news of their marriage came out one day.

The two soon took their leave, and a clergyman took them out in place of the Pope. The Pope himself was still sitting in the reception room, drinking tea, reading a book for a while, everything normal.

On this day, no news of new names appearing came from the square, nor were there any news of the death of a powerful person. The Pope thought that Ning Fei wouldn’t act this day, so he went to bed at his usual rest time and drank his usual health-preserving and calming medicine before going to sleep.

The person serving him at this time was still the clergyman who had taken the woman to tidy up next door in the afternoon.

He took the empty medicine bowl, put it on the tray and picked it up, and exited the Pope’s bedroom.

…

The next day, the Pope’s death shocked the entire capital.

That noon, the bounty for the arrest of Ning Fei and his accomplices was increased tenfold on the wanted list.
