Chapter 82: Things are always unexpected

The night in the small town was cold and quiet, with a single moon hanging high in the sky.

There were still traces of wet water in the cracks of the cold stone road.

Fu Qinghai walked alone on this damp and cold stone road. A breeze blew his black hair and dark clouds covered the moon.

Fu Qinghai, who was walking with his head down, seemed to have sensed something. He looked up and saw a person standing not far in front of him.

The breeze also blew her long black wavy hair, revealing a delicate face.

"Chen Xue..." Fu Qinghai was slightly stunned and asked:

"You have also come to this copy world of the Conjuring Universe?"

Not far away, a tall and graceful lady stood alone in the middle of the road, with a smiling expression that Fu Qinghai was familiar with.

Suddenly, with a "bang", Chen Xue turned into a pink demon with a big mouth full of sharp teeth and waving slender appendages, shouting:

"I'm not Chen Xue, I'm the Pink Fear Monster!"

"Your mother!!"

Fu Qinghai suddenly turned over and sat up from the bed.

I looked around at the familiar bed and wooden furniture, the familiar attic room and curtains.

It turned out to be a dream.

Fu Qinghai took a deep breath.

I feel like I'm a little bit crazy.

Fu Qinghai sat on the bed with a thin quilt covering his legs.

wrong...

After waking up from his dream and regaining some rationality, Fu Qinghai frowned.

I am an Astarte, I am not supposed to dream.

Astarte had an organ called the "rigidity node" implanted behind his brain, which can regulate sleep autonomously. Once he falls asleep, he will have a deep sleep and will not dream at all.

Whenever an Astartes Legion Librarian dreams, they will regard the scenes in the dream as a kind of psychic prophecy or psychic warning.

The only time Fu Qinghai had a dream since he became an Astartes was when the Dagger was sailing in the warp and his mind was invaded by an unknown psychic being.

Well, based on the situation of the last dream... Fu Qinghai recalled the last dream and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The mission in this reincarnation world is probably not that simple.

Fu Qinghai got up, dressed and washed.

After Rusfan's cellar discussion yesterday, according to the knight's request, everyone gathered at the town entrance early this morning and headed to a place called Biertan Village.

Try not to choose any actions in horror movies at night.

This does not need anyone to teach you; it is the consensus of all those who have reincarnated.

So we set a very early departure time.

Fu Qinghai put on the Wagang sword and went downstairs.

It was still dawn when Fu Qinghai stepped onto the stone road in the town. When he looked up, the clouds had dissipated and it was a rare sunny day.

Fu Qinghai arrived at the agreed entrance to the town, where seven or eight people were already standing in groups of three or four.

These people were dressed just like the locals.

Fu Qinghai walked over and saw a woman in black clothes and black hair, surrounded by several reincarnations.

The sound reached Fu Qinghai's ears.

"Hey, isn't this Zhang Yuning? Didn't you want to join us? Why are you here again now?"

"That's right, how come you're here again when we're about to set out?"

"You're pretending to be the most noble person. If you want to be a lone ranger, don't come and join our team."

Fu Qinghai leaned over to take a look and saw a young woman with long black hair and a princess-cut hairstyle, surrounded by several reincarnations who had appeared in the cellar last night.

The woman looked tall and slender, with a cold and world-weary face under her black princess-cut bangs, three white eyes, plump lips, a straight nose, deep eyes, and she seemed to have dark eyeliner. She looked to be no more than twenty years old, but her temperament seemed gloomy and mature.

The woman surrounded by four men looked up at the surrounding reincarnations and said coldly,

"I didn't say I want to go with you. Go your separate ways and don't bother me."

Upon hearing this, a man said sarcastically,

"Tsk tsk, you said you wouldn't go with us, but your body is very honest. You came here early in the morning to wait, don't you just want to follow us to the monastery?"

"That's right. You want to follow the others, but you don't want to accept Sir Rusfan's command, so you just shamelessly force yourself to do it. You are really amazing."

Fu Qinghai, who was standing outside, understood.

This copy world does not distinguish between camps. Under the call of the veteran reincarnationist Rusfan, many reincarnationists chose to gather together for warmth. This is also the instinctive reaction of social animals when facing unknown terrors. This cold young lady seemed to have rejected Rusfan's invitation and was unwilling to be with this group of people, but she appeared here again at this moment.

So the reincarnations thought that this was a stubborn person who came to take advantage of the team's protection.

Fu Qinghai was too lazy to care about these bullshit and turned his head away after he understood it. He was more concerned about what Ru Sifan's plan was. Ru Sifan judged that this was the Conjuring Universe right away, which meant he was obviously familiar with the plot.

As for that woman...if others want to follow her, let them follow. It's not you who built the road, and it won't cost you anything to let others follow you.

Fu Qinghai curled his lips in disdain. These four men had been pestering this young woman for a long time, but to be honest, it was not because the woman wanted to follow them.

It's just that he wants to take advantage of a beautiful woman.

Judging from the name Zhang Yuning, he should be a Chinese. Fu Qinghai turned his head to take a look and found that these men looked eager to try but also a little afraid. He thought to himself that they had the desire but not the courage.

"Get lost!"

The woman shouted and glanced with her almond-shaped eyes at a man who was about to make a move on her.

Fu Qinghai, who was standing aside with his arms folded, couldn't stand it anymore and said:

"Hey, that's enough."

One of the thin men turned around, looked Fu Qinghai up and down, squinted his eyes and asked,

"Are you teaching me a lesson, you nosy boy?"

Fu Qinghai nodded: "Yes."

The lean man pulled out a pistol from his waist, held it in his hand, pointed it at Fu Qinghai and said,

"I know you, a guy with enhanced muscle strength. You think you're strong after beating up a few local farmers? Hmm? You can come and try it with me to see which is stronger, my bullet or your muscle."

Fu Qinghai also narrowed his eyes, looking at the thin man who pulled out a gun at the slightest disagreement, and the pistol in his hand that was pointing at him.

This is a Browning M1911, a very classic pistol with quite good power.

The hand holding the gun was also very steady, without any of the fancy gun-holding movements of gang members.

Astartes' body is not invulnerable to swords and guns. Its defense mainly comes from power armor. If it were in the Warhammer 40K universe, Fu Qinghai would not even look at this man and this gun. Even if he took a .45 caliber pistol bullet without any protection, it would not cause fatal damage to Astartes' body.

But this is an A-level necromancy universe, and Fu Qinghai doesn't know to what extent his biochemically modified body has been suppressed.

The gun is fast from seven steps away, and is both accurate and fast within seven steps.

What he said was true, but it didn't apply to Astarte. Now the two of them were less than two meters apart, and Fu Qinghai was confident that he could kill him with one punch before the other party opened fire.

Fu Qinghai's only concern was... would his assimilation points be deducted if he beat him to death?

Just as Fu Qinghai was about to kill him... a gloomy voice interrupted the confrontation between the two.

"Calm down, both of you."

Rusfan finally arrived. This sinister man was covered in a dark cloak today, as if he was avoiding the sunlight.

Rusfan took a quick glance and saw the situation clearly. He said,

"Gentlemen, there is no need. We are all in the same camp. Killing each other will not earn us assimilation points. Why bother to fight?"

The thin man snorted coldly and put away the M1911 pistol in his hand.

Fu Qinghai seemed calm and relaxed, his body not moving at all.

If Rusfan had not arrived just in time, the thin man would have been beheaded.

Lu Sifan turned his head and looked at the black-haired woman, sighed, and said:

"Ms. Zhang Yuning, I've heard of you. You're the only reincarnation who came back alive from the Grudge Universe. You should have joined my team. It would be good for everyone."

Zhang Yuning glanced at Lu Sifan calmly and said:

"No, just take care of the people following you and don't cause trouble for yourself."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After saying this, without even looking at Fu Qinghai who had offered to help, he turned around and walked towards the road.

Fu Qinghai looked at the slender back of the woman. Although he spoke out to stop her just because he didn't like it and didn't want anything else, he still felt a little unhappy when he saw the woman's attitude at this time.

So cold that he is almost emotionless.

Lu Sifan took a deep look at Zhang Yuning's back. He was a little confused and unsure about this woman.

Doesn't appear to have any special abilities.

But she was able to come out alive from the Cursed Universe that buried countless reincarnations. She was the only one who came out alive among the three thousand reincarnations who entered the Cursed Universe together.

Rusfan said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry about her. The mission is urgent. Let's go and get to St. Cartha's Monastery before noon."

The reincarnations who were having the cellar meeting also formed a loose team and walked along the road outside the town.

Rusfan, hiding in the shadow of his cloak, explained to the reincarnators in the team as he walked:

"Everyone, before I entered the reincarnation world, I watched the movie "The Nun". It was about a senior priest and a trainee nun with psychic abilities. They were assigned by the Vatican to come to the Saint Carta Monastery in Biertan Village to deal with the series of suicides of nuns there."

Rusfan did not explain why the Vatican attached so much importance to this monastery in a remote village, but Fu Qinghai, who had a little common sense, knew that

suicide was a very serious crime in Catholic doctrine. People who committed suicide could not go to heaven and could not be saved by the Lord.

Nuns are people who serve God, and the continuous suicides of nuns in a monastery are extremely strange and serious.

Rusfan continued,

"In fact, the essence of this monastery is a seal. The devout nuns inside pray day and night to seal a demon named Valak. During World War II, Romania belonged to the Axis camp and was bombed by the Allied Air Force and the Soviet Air Force. This monastery was affected by the Soviet air bombs, the seal of the demon was broken, and Valak was released."

The journey to Biertan Village and St. Cartha Monastery is not short. The reincarnations need to cross valleys and hills. There is also a carriage rental service in the town, but the reincarnations present have all experienced various cruel environments. Although they may not all have special abilities, they at least have the physical strength and endurance for long journeys.

So everyone chose to walk there.

The gloomy and beautiful woman named Zhang Yuning was following behind the crowd not too far away.

Rusfan narrated slowly:

"The entire monastery and the surrounding area are the range of activities and power of the demon Valak. He is imprisoned here. If he wants to leave, he must have a living person to possess him. This is why the devout nuns choose to commit suicide. If they die, Valak will not be able to leave the monastery."

"I can tell you the ending of the movie directly. I don't know where the protagonist priest and the trainee nun are now, but I want to tell you that it is not difficult to seal this demon. His sealing point is hidden under a pool of water. The prop needed to seal him is the blood of Jesus, and the last bottle of Jesus' blood is stored in the storage room of the monastery."

Rusfan stepped forward, speaking with a calm and confident tone:

"Valak will definitely try every means to prevent us from entering the storage room to obtain the blood of Jesus, but this is not important. We just need to remember that when you see a horrible nun with no pupils and a distorted and hateful face in the monastery, that is Valak."

Rusfan added:

"This is because he was suppressed by the nuns' prayers for hundreds of years, so when Valak was released, he chose to transform into a ghost nun to do evil, in order to mock these nuns and God."

After listening to Rusfan's explanation, the reincarnationists present felt more confident and the heavy atmosphere was swept away.

For a horror movie in which justice ultimately triumphs over evil, once you know the ending of the plot and how to restrain the monsters, you've basically won half the battle.

Fu Qinghai, who was mixed in the team, caught up with the leader Rusfan in a few steps and asked,

"Sir, you just said that Valak must possess a living person before he can leave the monastery. Is this a strict condition? Are there any exceptions?"

Lu Sifan looked up at Fu Qinghai and explained,

"In the setting of the Conjuring Universe, all evil spirits and ghosts need to be actively summoned by mortals before they can descend into the world. At the same time, they also need to rely on a carrier, which may be a person or an object, but they cannot exist independently."

Fu Qinghai nodded, thoughtfully.

The crowd came to the village of Bertan, but did not enter the village. Instead, they went directly up the mountain.

On the way, people passed a cemetery with densely packed tombstones, each with a small bell tied to it.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the crowd walked along the overgrown road and arrived in front of the Monastery of St. Cartha.

However, when Rusfan, who was originally full of confidence and had everything planned out, stood in front of the monastery, he was stunned for a moment and stood stiffly in place.

The other reincarnations were also stunned, staring blankly at the scene before them.

Before our eyes, the monastery that was originally built with stones and wood supports was now only a messy ruin.

No spires or bell towers, no great crosses, no stained glass, no storerooms or blood of Jesus.

There is only a ruin of broken walls.

Ru Sifan's eyes were dull, his mouth was stammering, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The monastery is gone...

What about Valak?

What about Valak, the demon that everyone wants to seal?

Fu Qinghai did not fall into a daze like the others. He quickly walked to the ruins, squatted in front of a broken stone brick, stretched out his hand to touch the powder on the broken edge, rubbed it between his fingers, put it under his nose to smell it, turned around and said to everyone:

"It's C4 explosives."

C4 plastic explosive is a type of explosive that is easy and safe to use, has great power, and is easy to carry. It is a must-have at home and when traveling.

Rusfan was so angry that his mouth was shaking. He said,

"Damn it, damn it, someone must have arrived here before us. These idiots who acted blindly without watching the movie, self-righteous idiots, they thought that they could destroy the demon Valak by blowing up the monastery, but they destroyed Valak's greatest restraint!"

Fu Qinghai frowned, stood up and approached Rusfan and asked,

"Sir, you just said that Valak must be possessed by a living person before he can leave the monastery."

Rusfan nodded and said angrily, "That's right, Valak must have possessed a reincarnator and left here. Europe is so big, the earth is so big, where can we find this demon!"

Rusfan's words were full of regret and anger, and the reincarnationists present all showed despair upon hearing his words.

It seems that "Reincarnation Life-1" is inevitable.

Fu Qinghai said,

"We don't need such a large area. We just landed in this dungeon world yesterday. Even if someone got there before us, they couldn't have gotten there earlier. I analyzed the traces of the explosion at the scene. It didn't happen long ago. We just need to carefully search for traces at the scene and find the direction that the group of reincarnations left. We will soon catch up with them."

"yes!"

"That's right, sir. We may still be able to find the demon."

Fu Qinghai's words brightened the eyes of everyone present, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts. Regardless of whether they knew how to reconnaissance or not, they all scattered to look for clues.

Footprints, cigarette butts, broken branches, and fresh soil have all become clues to the targets that the reincarnations are trying hard to find.

Soon, everyone gathered all the clues they found and locked on a direction.

It was the road leading to the village of Biertan at the foot of the mountain!

After those people blew up the monastery and left, they went to Biertan Village.

...

　My company is in the postgraduate entrance examination business. Isn't the exam time on the 24th or 25th? There is a lot of work to do during this period and it is very complicated. It is difficult to squeeze out time to write and update. It will be fine after the 25th.

　　At the same time, I also wish my readers who are taking the postgraduate entrance examination this year that they will definitely pass the exam!
