"No!!!"
Flora screamed miserably.
Suddenly, strange insects with seven or eight segments emerged from the wounds on the mouse's body. Many three-dimensional patterns were floating on the transparent parts of these insects, and it seemed as if time was passing above the segments.
Edward's brain suddenly went blank, and when he reacted, the leather bag, clothes, and even most of his abilities disappeared. He hurriedly used "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" and used the extra forty-one thoughts to fight against the thief demigod's theft of his thoughts.
This was even more true for Akasha, who sat naked on the ground with a blank look in her red eyes.
Edward knew that she had entered the form of a mythical creature and was planning to fight to the death!
The next moment, the world in the painting began to collapse and dissipate, and they were back in the dark cellar.
Flora has fallen into madness. She no longer thinks about escaping, nor does she intend to fight against the loss of control brought about by the form of the mythical creature. She instinctively steals everything around her, and she wants to destroy everything like a madman.
Just then, the bell rang.
Leonard appeared, and his green eyes reflected a slightly dim "Time Worm" with twelve translucent segments. The two "Time Worms" were connected head to tail, forming the same circle vertically.
Flora seemed to be attracted and gave up stealing other things around her and turned her attention to Leonard.
"Why are you forcing me!"
"Why are you forcing me!"
"Why!!"
She launched a steal on Leonard without hesitation, but she failed.
This was the suppression of the low-sequence by the high-sequence. Not only that, an illusory ancient stone wall clock appeared behind Leonard.
The strange insect that Flora transformed into dried up quickly, lost its vitality, and was then uncontrollably sucked into the stone wall clock and disappeared.
A demigod who entered the form of a mythical creature died just like that.
"Go! Get out of here now!"
The old voice of Pales came out of Leonard's mouth, and he immediately disappeared in an instant.
Edward hurriedly picked up the things that had just been stolen. Akasha's voice was heard at this time: "Ah, becoming a demigod is really troublesome. I was about to kill her, but in the end I was almost trapped by her mythical creature form when she counterattacked before her death!"
She transformed into a bat between reality and illusion and flew in the air. "Help me with my clothes. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, he turned into moonlight and disappeared.
Edward used a Fiendfyre to burn her fallen clothes to ashes, then Apparated away from the cellar.
Soon the place returned to peace, with only the mess and red wine on the ground. No one could have imagined that a demigod had died here just a moment ago.
At the same time, in Backlund City.
A man dressed as a postman was riding a bicycle leisurely on the dark street, with a crystal monocle on his right eye.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed on the monocle, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Huh? Why do I feel like I have missed a big show?"
After a moment, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled:
"interesting."
39 Böklund Street.
Hazel, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
Her heart was beating wildly, and it felt like something terrible had just happened.
But what will happen?
She swallowed and looked outside through the window. The moonlight tonight seemed particularly bright red, like blood.
...
Above the gray fog.
Fors briefly recounted the encounter with the Abraham family today, and mentioned Lawrence's will, the strange notebook, and the extraordinary characteristics left by the other party. \New^Maru·Ben¨榊~占′ ~啾.欣¨最¨快?
She still liked the friendly Mr. Lawrence very much, but unfortunately he had reached the end of his life. She believed in his good intentions, but she was still a little hesitant about whether to follow his will and meet a stranger.
"Dear Mr. Fool, what should I do?" she asked unsurely.
Why.
As expected, Miss Magician is also a person with a cheat, her cheat should be called "Adventure Cheating". I just don't know when Mr. Hanged Man will give me a surprise.
Klein responded with a low laugh:
"Do what's in your heart."
Fors lowered his head thoughtfully and said:
"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Fool."
She decided to buy a steam train ticket tomorrow. Taking this mode of transportation, it would only take a little over an hour to get from Backlund to Pritz Harbor, or maybe even less.
Klein thought for a moment and said, "If you're really worried, maybe you can hire a member of the Tarot Club to go with you."
Fors's expression froze, and she subconsciously touched her empty pockets: "This... let's forget it."
Of course, Klein saw her little action and couldn't help laughing. It seemed that he was no longer the poorest person in the Tarot Club.
...
Port of Pritz.
One-Eyed Cage and his five companions took advantage of the night and came to a hillside leading to an abandoned port a few kilometers away from Pritz Port, and then walked forward into a deserted road.
"Brother Cage, do we really want to help that guy transport the goods?"
"Yeah, we are not good people anymore..."
Bang!
One-Eyed Cage slapped him on the head and said, "We are not the women from the Red Theater. We are not good people! We are doing good...turning from evil to good."
The person who was beaten looked aggrieved: "Then why did we come? I don't know what they asked us to help transport, but it's definitely not a good thing."
"Isn't there nothing we can do now? We tried to report anonymously to the church, but it was useless."
After a pause, he said angrily, "Believe it or not, we refused and someone arrested us and took us to the gallows the moment we did!" One-Eyed Cage sighed, "Let's find a way to contact Mr. Sparrow first, saving our lives is the most important thing."
"And we are not here to transport stuff this time. We are just responsible for making contact and leading the way."
"oh."
Several of the younger brothers were still somewhat unhappy. As the lowest class on the Iron Hook pirate ship, they were basically cannon fodder, hanging their heads on their belts all day long to make a living. Now that they have finally settled down and have a good life, they really don't want to go back to the old days.
"Huh?"
At this time, a sharp-eyed person saw a figure walking towards them. He quickly poked the one-eyed Cage and said, "Brother Cage, look ahead."
Cage stopped immediately, put his hand on the revolver under his armpit, and stared at the figure who was slowly approaching.
Half a minute later.
A woman in a black skirt holding a black cat came over as if taking a stroll.
A woman walking in the wilderness in the middle of the night?
It's not normal to think with your knees!
The woman in black seemed to have just seen the five people at this moment. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and Cage and the others suddenly felt their bodies stiffen, a chill poured down from the top of their heads, and then they found that they could not breathe.
Are we going to die?
In the end...I'm going to die?
At this moment, One-Eyed Cage finally understood the horror of the extraordinary world. It was just an accidental encounter, just a glance at each other, and the five of them were like five stink bugs, being stepped on to death by others.
At this time, the black cat in the woman's arms climbed onto her shoulders and seemed to say something in her ear.
The next second, the feeling of being so close to death disappeared.
The five of them collapsed to the ground at the same time, gasping for breath.
"Let us go?"
One-Eyed Cage wanted to thank her, but when he looked up, he found that the woman in black had disappeared, as if... she had never appeared.
"Brother Cage, shall we...should we continue to move forward?"
After a while, a younger brother said in horror.
"...continue."
Cage stood up shakily and walked forward resolutely. The four younger brothers looked at each other and had to follow him.
More than ten minutes later, they finally reached the end of the path and came to the abandoned port that Barron had told them about.
In the distance, they saw a large ship parked near the beach. In the darkness, they could only make out its outline. All around them was quiet, with no sound except the sound of the waves.
"Is that the ship?"
"Um..."
As I got closer, a strong smell of blood blew towards me with the sea breeze.
Cage's face changed and he quickly sped up, quickly boarding the ship. Then he saw corpses all over the deck and blood flowing like streams.
Without him saying anything, the four brothers dispersed and came back after circling the boat. They all shook their heads and said:
"Dead."
"They are all dead."
"Same here."
"Was it that...woman just now who did this?"
Cage squatted in front of the two corpses. Their faces still retained the anger and hatred before death. The weapons in each other's hands caused each other's death.
He looked at the corpses around him again, and most of them died from cannibalism.
"It doesn't matter. The question now is whether Barron and the people behind him will blame us for their deaths." Cage said gloomily, "We can't go back to the bar."
"Ah? That's the industry we built up with great difficulty."
"Which is more important, the bar or life?"
"…They are all important!"
