The Tragedy at Axuan's Residence / The Brain-Eating Conspiracy

"Elder Brother, where have you been all this time?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Axuan steadied himself and cautiously probed.

"My Father Emperor and the others miss you very much, and so do I. I can't even sleep at night."

"Oh? You missed me? So you took my Crown Prince position?"

With a disdainful smile on his face, Ayu walked up to Axuan and patted him lightly.

"However, you can rest assured that I am not here for the position of Crown Prince."

"Really? Oh no, Elder Brother, this position was originally..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ayu interrupted him.

"I've come because I need your help with something."

"Please speak."

Upon hearing that Ayu had actually given up the position of Crown Prince, Axuan secretly mocked him as a fool while revealing a smile on his face.

"Just ask, and I will do my best."

"Very good."

Nodding, A-Yu moved his hand down and placed it on Axuan's heart.

"I need you to help me begin the final act."

Chapter 561 The Tragedy at Axuan's Mansion

"The final prologue?"

As he muttered something, a hint of doubt flashed across Axuan's face.

He always felt that his older brother had become eccentric and strange.

"Could it be that he's lost his mind?"

"That's true. After being missing for so long, who knows what might have happened to them."

He raised an eyebrow, increasingly convinced that this was a very likely possibility.

"That's great. Father would never let a brain-dead guy become the Crown Prince."

A sly smile flashed by, Axuan then coughed twice before tentatively asking.

"No problem, but how can I help you?"

"It's very simple."

After patting his younger brother on the chest, Ayu walked to a shelf and took down a bowl.

It was a very exquisite piece of porcelain that was shipped from overseas.

Normally, Axuan cherishes this collectible.

Even when I was in a bad mood, I didn't break it.

Holding the porcelain bowl in his hand, Ah Yu chuckled as he played with it.

"All you need to do is die."

"?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Axuan felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, his pupils immediately contracted to pinpoints.

At some point, a wound the size of a bowl appeared on his left chest.

The wound was open, and the flesh and heart inside had disappeared.

A large amount of blood flowed out and, in the blink of an eye, pooled on the ground.

"Cough"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Axuan's body swayed back and forth a few times, about to collapse.

Instinctively, he wanted to ask his older brother for help.

But when he looked at Ayu, the scene before him became the last fear of his life.

The lost heart was found in the porcelain bowl, with a bite mark on it.

With his mouth full of blood, Ah Yu chewed something with a blissful expression and sighed.

"Oh my, you know what, the heart that's related by blood just tastes much better."

"You... you..."

With a thud, Axuan collapsed to the ground, quickly losing all strength, and could only helplessly watch this scene unfold.

His own elder brother, the former Crown Prince, Ayu, devoured his heart piece by piece.

After finishing his meal, Ayu took out a napkin from his pocket.

He wiped the blood and splattered residue from his face, then casually tossed the paper ball away. It transformed into a streak of light and flew into the trash can.

"You are a ghost."

In his final moments, Axuan finally realized that his older brother was no longer human.

"You got it right."

Licking his lips, A-Yu slowly walked to Axuan's side and squatted down.

He reached out and stroked his younger brother's face, his expression showing a hint of regret, and even a touch of sadness.

"Unfortunately, you found out too late."

The next second, all the expressions on Ayu's face vanished instantly.

All that remained was a thirst for flesh and blood and a face full of madness.

"Become my food to become stronger!"

The mouth was wide open, almost splitting open to the corners of the eyes, as wide as possible at an angle that defies human anatomy.

In his dazed state, Axuan only saw a dark shadow rushing towards him.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

"Crunch, crunch, gulp, slurp"

The luxurious reception room was instantly transformed into Ah Yu's dining table.

Just as he had finished eating Axuan, an old man's voice came from outside again.

"Your Highness, may I ask what happened? I just..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but you could tell he was very worried about Axuan.

Just now, the old man heard strange noises coming from inside the house.

It sounds like someone is eating.

Immediately afterwards, a strong smell of blood wafted from inside the house.

This made him very curious about what exactly happened inside.

Eat something? But he remembered that there was no food in it.

Where is the smell of blood coming from? Could it be that His Prince Axuan fought with that guy?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and that's when the old man asked the question without Axuan's permission.

"Yes, there is something I need your help with."

Upon hearing A-Yu's voice, the old man felt it was somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place it.

"Where is Prince Axuan? Why hasn't he said anything?!"

"You'll see when you come in."

Without hesitation, the old man strode forward and pushed open the door to enter.

When he saw the mangled corpse in the middle of the room, his legs went weak with fear.

"What happened? How could it have turned out like this!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you?!"

"What's the deal with that corpse? Answer me now, or I'll let people in."

Faced with the old man's questioning, Ayu simply shook his head and walked up to him.

"I'm saying, seeing this face, don't you know who I am?"

Ayu pulled the old man up, tilted his head, and asked a question.

"Speaking of which, I remember you seem to have some blood relation to the royal family, right?"

"Your Highness, it's you!"

The panicked old man couldn't understand why Ah Yu, who had been missing for so long, would appear here.

Where did Axuan, who went in earlier, go? What happened to that strange guy? What's going on?

Looking at the somewhat deranged old man, A-Yu frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

"It's boring."

With a slight twist of his wrist, he crushed the old man's neck.

His head slumped limply to the side, and his eyes instantly lost their luster.

Ayu made a cut on the old man's corpse, licked the blood from his fingertip, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, there is indeed some connection."

After saying that, he opened his mouth again and bit the old man's head.

The next morning, the overwhelming smell of blood in the mansion attracted people's attention.

After repeated calls went unanswered, someone broke down the mansion's gate and rushed inside.

After seeing what had actually happened, many people vomited.

There was no living creature in the entire mansion.

From the newly appointed Crown Prince Axuan to the servants in the mansion.

Even some of the animals Axuan kept had their heads cut off.

After professional investigation and careful identification, it was finally confirmed that the headless male corpse found in the reception room was Crown Prince Axuan.

Not far from it, there was also the headless corpse of Steward Axuan.

The rest of the dead also lost their heads.

Moreover, their hearts had also disappeared.

Once the incident occurred, it quickly spread.

Just one day later, newspapers with related news appeared in the town where the Scribe lived.

After understanding the general situation, the Scribe remained silent and fell into deep thought.

He left the town that evening.

Our goal is to establish Eternal Paradise Cult!

Chapter 562 The Conspiracy of Brain Food

The tragedy at Axuan's residence was undoubtedly committed by a ghost.

Although the Scribe did not know who did it or what their purpose was, he had a very reliable guess.

The ghosts were no longer fixated on operating in the shadows; they gradually became bolder and more arrogant.

If they dare to kill the Crown Prince today, they'll dare to slaughter the Emperor tomorrow.

After a ghost kills someone, it's impossible for it to swagger around the streets during the day.
