As Carly finished putting her clothes on, I looked at the invitation.
The blue card had a small chip on it
.'So, it uses a scanner… good… it doesn't have a face recognition system then…'
At the back of the card, there was a symbol
.'It's… a serpent?'A serpent could be seen in the lower-left corner.
I took a mental note of that detail and put the card in my pocket.
"I-I am ready."I turned and saw Carly, who now had her uniform on, blushing while looking at me.
"Good. Now come, help me with something," I said.
I walked towards the door and grabbed the dragged guards.
"Tie them up, use the sheets as ropes."
"Un-understood!"As Carly did that, I took Hugo's phone from his pocket and used his finger to unlock it.
I went to his conversations and found the one that said
'Mr. Lex.'
The conversation had the function that deletes the chat every 24 hours.
The last messages were:'Okay, you can come with someone, however, you better let me use her first, or else…'
It seemed that Hugo and Lex were the same kind of person.
I looked at the avatar icon of Lex — he had a photo of himself.
He was a tall guy with two piercings and platinum hair.
Oh shit, if Hugo has a photo of himself, I'm in trouble…
'This guy… ha… a photo of his arm… what an idiot.'
This phone is going to be useful… but…
'I need his fingertip to unlock it.'…Damn it…
"Carly."
"Yes?"
"Close your eyes. This is going to get bloody."
"Uhmm… what do you mean…"
I walked towards the bed, grabbed the sheets, and covered myself.I didn't want to dirty this uniform.
Then I walked towards Hugo and grabbed his finger.
[Little Noah… don't you dare…]
And then I started slicing his finger.
"…."
To my surprise, Carly didn't vomit.Nor did she turn pale.
No, she just… stared.
"Yiiiiiiiiiiiii"
Oh?
I know that kind of stare.
"Come here,"
I said.
"Huh… uhmm… me?"
"Yes, you. Who else?"
Carly, slowly but surely, walked forward.
"When you cut flesh, you have to be aware of the bone. Depending on the part of the body, you will need one knife or another. For instance, if we were to cut the femur, we couldn't use this kind of knife," I said.
"Why… because it's too small?"
"Yes… but not only that — it's inefficient. And look at the blade — for bones like the femur, you need the blade to have teeth. Or else, the blade will break."
"I see!"
"Since the bone in the hand is fragile, we can easily cut it. However, since I only need the fingertip, I will cut at the joint, right… here," I said while signaling the part of the finger that has the most flesh.
"Look here, I'm going to do it in two steps… first make a small incision here… and then… with more force!"
PLAK
The finger was sent flying until it landed on the ground.
"Handkerchief," I said.
"Yes sir!"Carly passed me a white handkerchief as I cleaned the blood on my hand and the blade of the knife.
"When you clean the knife, remember to grab it from the back, or else you'll cut yourself."
"Yes sir!"I saw Carly staring at my blade with curiosity.
I looked at the clock.7:15
'We're 15 minutes earlier than expected.'
"Here."I lifted the blade and handed it to Carly.
"Eh?""It's your turn."
"Eh… No, no, I-I couldn't…"
"Your eyes…"
"Eh?"
"I like your eyes… they don't lie… unlike your mouth."
Carly looked at me with surprise and grabbed the knife.
We bent and looked at Hugo, who was still unconscious.
"We don't have much time, so we will do a quick learn-and-do."
"Yes sir!"
"The pinky finger is the easiest one. We'll start with that. Do as you see — let's see how much you can do."
"Okay… but I have never done something like this… so I don't know if I'll do a good job…"
I smiled and patted her head.
"Of course, you won't. Nobody is good at everything — the mother of success is failure."
"I-I see…"
"Besides…"I looked at Hugo and smiled.
"Who gives a fu*k if you screw this guy up."

Seeing the scene of Carly and Noah,Io, who had been watching since the beginning, didn't know what to say.
[What the hell am I watching?]
