What's next? Will they poke me with a stick? I am certain that is the best way to check if someone is truly dead or not. Ah yes, these brats chose another classic. Small rocks are also quite effective in confirming this difficult matter.

There is no need to more stones then necessary, if I do not show any reaction after 6 rocks hit my face, then the chances are pretty high that I am not going to react to 20 more. Drama queen was seemingly really concerned about me being a zombie as she continued to throw more rocks at me.

At this point in time, the purpose had shifted quite heavily. I had become the personal target of the drama queen, who was enjoying this a bit too much. Nobody of her peers was showing any intention of stopping her or doing something else, they just stood beside her and stared while those rocks kept flying at me.

I will stay calm and not be provoked by their cheap tricks, blowing my cover will require a lot more than just annoying me with rocks. Using my vivid imagination was a good way to calm down and stay composed.

After what felt like an eternity the drama queen finally had enough of throwing rocks at me and came closer towards me. The rest of their eyes were still focused on me as if they were waiting for something to happen or a signal of any kind.

What if they are not looking at me directly but into my direction awaiting their orders? The odds of someone standing on top of the roof over my head have just increased significantly.

But judging by their behaviour they must know that something is fishy, that is why the continued to act so careful. My guess is that they had someone scout the perimeter before and I was seen then. Since the situation has developed as far as this, I could end this farce as soon as possible.

But I still wanted to see, what they would try to do with me. A better understanding of NPCs is not something harmful to me.

From all the possible actions I had considered and thought about, the brick that came from above of my head was none of them. Instead of probing, they just went with murder. Well, that was also a way to make sure that your target is really dead.

After the dull impact resounded and I still did not produce any other sound, they should have lost all of their wariness. But of course, for good measure, another wave of bricks came flying down onto my face.

The produced sound resembled the melody from We will rock you. After the message of my head, came to an end after they had run out of rocks to throw and drop on me. After everything was over, they returned to their cheerful mood and started to speak with a normal volume.

” You can calm down Big Brother, this guy is as deas as someone can be.” I did not know why Chubby felt the need to prove this statement by kicking me several times but ignored it for the time being.

The Big Brother jumped down from the roof and landed right in front of the 5 youth who got rid of their robes as they now assured that no danger existed for them.

And I was not surprised by the things I saw. They were indeed children, way too young and still looked immature. Their age likely did not even reach the double digits. These small children did not even seem to know, the situation they are in. All they do is listen to the orders of their big brother.

With all of stress and wariness gone they ran around and they were just back to being normal kids again. They were loud and obnoxious running around without any worry in the world.

” Do not run too far and listen to whatever Big Sis tells you to.”

After the children had run out of sight letting their fantasy run wild. I was left with the Big Brother who had been eyeing my corpse since the children started to play.

He started to look through my clothes and began to check if I had anything of worth. I had to help him a little otherwise he would not even be able to move my body. In his greed, he did not notice that things were a bit amiss. All it took was the absorbing gold coin and his eyes did not know reason anymore.

The only other thing, I had on me were my punching gloves, that I had used some time ago. He would not strip off my clothes, right?

After he got a hold out of my gloves, it took him quite some time and both of his hands just to get a single one out of my pants. Watching panting and his weird expression after pulling it out was worth it.

I just barely managed to prevent the smile from creeping upon my lips as I saw the antics of him as he tried so hard to get my gloves out of my pants. I was just lucky he had not grabbed on something else before starting to pull with all of his might.

After he had finally managed to get a hold of the finger gloves, he renewed his search but was unable to locate another treasure. He still looked rather content with the spoils from looting my corpse.

But he still was eying my corpse as if he was thinking about something. Before he could do something stupid, that he would regret for the rest of his life, he was stopped.

” Rather than his clothes, we need to find something to eat. This town seems to be devoid of any food.”

This must be the Big Sister he has been talking about, or it is another person I do not know off because that's the first time I heard her voice. Her voice sounded domineering leaving no room for complaints. Or in other words, if those 2 were a pair, she would be wearing the pants.

The so-called Big Brother did not even say anything back and could only nod after hearing her voice. It felt like wanted to get down on his knees and prostrate himself in front of her.

So Big Sister what is going to happen to me?
