The bathwater was crimson, and the man lay in a sea of things that had been taken from the freezer and dropped within.
I think it’d take a lot of blood to make the water crimson. I’ve heard that when blood dilutes in water, it actually turns yellow.
Then again, I don’t remember my source for that. Could be wrong.
He was Japanese, Theo noted, his hair cut short, his body bearing the lean muscle of someone who’d honed their body into a weapon, and he was unconscious, though breathing.
One can hone their body into a weapon all they like, but it’s gonna be hard to top Hookwolf, who’s honed his body into a whole pile of weapons.
Japanese, huh… I wonder if Purity’s hatred of the former ABB has anything to do with this.
“Oni Lee,” Jack spoke from outside the bathroom.
Oh!
Hiya. I guess you found a battle you couldn’t run from, Oni.
“Our habit is to nominate a certain individual. Then the others test them in their own ways. If that individual passes the test, they are recruited to the Slaughterhouse Nine.”
Hm, sounds like the test is individual, rather than a brawl like I was imagining. So what happens if more than one of them pass?
Also, it seems like Jack had put his hopes on Oni Lee, but he failed the test and wound up in this state.
Things are beginning to make sense.
So is Purity his second choice? Does he get a second choice?
