Susie squatted beside her, also looking at the usual haze: "This is a little strange.
Audrey murmured, "Is this why Edward is anxious for us to leave Backlund? The disaster brought about by the high-sequence witch..."
"Susie, where are mom and dad?"
Susie wagged her tail and said, "It should be in the restaurant. It's time for afternoon tea."
"Walk."
Audrey walked out of the house quickly and headed straight for the restaurant. Along the way, she saw the maids and servants in the house looking at the fog in the distance with surprise, and whispering that it was all because of those damn factories that the air in Backlund was getting worse and worse.
At this moment, a scream was heard. It was the mother's voice: "Hibbert, what are you doing. Oh, Hibbert!"
Audrey didn't care about anything else and Apparated to the restaurant, only to see her brother Hibbert standing next to her father, holding a dagger in his hand. His body, face and clothes were all stained red with spurting blood, and he had a weird smile on his face.
Earl Hall was sitting at the dining table, holding his throat tightly with both hands in horror and disbelief, and bright red blood continued to seep out from between his fingers.
There were four or five bleeding wounds on his chest, and blood was gushing out like a fountain.
Several maids scattered around in fear, all terrified.
Only the head maid Anne was quietly picking up a stool, as if she was going to rush up and fight with Hibbert.
Seeing Audrey's sudden appearance, she hurriedly shouted: "Miss, run away, Master Hibbert is crazy!"
Audrey's heart was shaken, and she shouted, "Hibbert!"
Hibbert seemed to have heard nothing and swung the dagger again towards Earl Hall.
"ah!"
But the next second, Audrey's shock and frenzy were released at the same time, and Hibbert immediately fell into chaos. He dropped the dagger and ran around the room like a headless fly.
At this time, the two extraordinary bodyguards of the Hall family also rushed over. They were stunned by the scene before them: as bodyguards, their duty was of course to protect the people of the Hall family from harm by outsiders.
However, they could never have anticipated that the son would suddenly attack and kill his father!
The two men hurried forward to check Earl Hall's injuries. Their faces suddenly turned gloomy. His throat was completely cut off. For ordinary people, this level of injury would be beyond help.
However, the two did not give up and left quickly, "Look for help!"
Audrey hurried to Earl Hall:
"dad!"
She repeatedly used healing spells to stop the bleeding and repair Earl Hall's wounds, but this did not relieve his rapidly weakening body. He looked pale and his breath was getting weaker and weaker - the spell could heal the wounds, but it could not make his lost blood flow back.
Count Hall's current condition is obviously a shock caused by massive blood loss. If he cannot receive a blood transfusion immediately, he will soon face death.
"Oh my god."
Mrs. Hall stumbled and fell on her husband, her face full of panic and tears streaming down her face: "Oh dear, no, you can't get into trouble."
She looked at her daughter for help: "Audrey, save your dad, save your dad."
Audrey forced herself to calm down: "I... I have healed his wounds, but he just lost too much blood. I... I want to go to the Harvest Church to find Emlyn."
Mrs. Hall shouted anxiously, "Edward has a way, right? He must have a way!"
Audrey then twisted her figure and came to Edward's cottage, "Edward, Edward!"
Lilith lay on the sofa, yawned and said, "Edward is out."
"Where did you go?"
"I don't know." She saw the blood on Audrey's body and stood up quickly. "What's wrong with you, Audrey? Is there a bad guy?"
"No… no."
Audrey felt a sharp pain in his heart. He believed that Hibbert had never intended to stab his father. His condition just now was obviously not right. But no matter what, his father was on the verge of death because of him... If his father was really in trouble, then, then...
Lilith shouted, "Quickly summon the big bird and ask it to go find Edward!"
"Yes, yes. Jing-Wu+Xiao*Shuo¨Net\ ·Zhui!Xin_Chapter*Jie,"
Audrey quickly arranged the ceremony to summon the messenger:
"I call upon my name:
"A spirit wandering in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, and a messenger that belongs only to Edward."
...
Outside Backlund, Nofel Church.
Akasha handed the picture frame to Edward: "This thing of yours is very useful. Even a demigod-level warrior was put in before he could react."
She bumped Edward with her shoulder. "How about selling it to me?"
"How much are you offering?"
"this..."
Akasha thought for a while, "What do you want?"
"A Sequence 3 Beyonder Characteristics."
"???"
Akasha immediately took two steps back and stared at him warily: "You are here for the extraordinary characteristics of the Marquis in my hand, right? No, no! I am afraid that my parents and grandfather and great-grandfather will crawl out of the underworld and take me down with them."
Edward shrugged: "Forget it, I don't have any other needs for now."
"Okay, at worst I can rent it from you if I need it later. That should be fine, right?"
Just as she said this, she suddenly frowned and looked in the direction of Backlund: "That is..."
Edward followed her line of sight and saw a layer of yellowish-yellowish-iron-black fog covering the sky above Backlund City in the distance. The distant view gave him a strong sense of foreboding.
His heart skipped a beat: "Is this the plague germs released by the High Sequence Witch?!"
"Yo, you even know this?"
Why is this happening?
In the original novel, wasn't the reason for the smog to cover up the missing people who were trafficked? But now, haven't the mausoleum and the human trafficking been exposed with those photos?
Why does the smog continue to occur?
Why--
A sigh was heard.
It was Anthony, the Archbishop of the Church of Night. He stared at the rapidly spreading fog, his eyes dimming - he understood that everything he did was meaningless.
As a devout believer, he did not doubt that his Lord was wrong, but at this moment he also did not quite understand what was right.
"I have to hurry back to the city. I'm worried that my friends are in danger."
Akasha waved her hand casually: "I want to stay a little longer. I haven't seen enough of the show yet."
Edward took a step forward and opened the Traveler's Door. Just as everything around him turned darker, he saw Phoenix flying towards him: "Edward! Come back quickly, my dad is in trouble! Come and save him!"
Phoenix finished speaking in a tearful voice, then returned to normal: "That's what the girl named Audrey said just now."
Edward's face changed drastically and he immediately quickened his pace, stepped out of the spirit world and came to the Hall's villa. He saw Earl Hall lying on his back on the ground covered in blood, seemingly dead.
Mrs. Hall sat there blankly, her face pale and her pupils dull. Hibbert lay on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
"Edward!"
Audrey sat on the ground in despair. The moment she saw him, tears kept flowing down her cheeks. She held her father's hand and murmured, "I... I went to the Harvest Church, but Emlyn was not there. I went to Mr. White's clinic, but they were not there either... Dad, he... he has..."
Lilith and Susie were sitting on the side, and the two little ones were also scared.
As soon as Lilith saw Edward, she ran over immediately: "Edward, Edward."
Edward was in a state of confusion. He took a deep breath of the air that smelled of blood and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. There is still a way."
In an era when medical technology was backward, the basis for judging a person's death was generally: no breathing, no pulse, and no heartbeat. Modern medicine judges a person's death based on brain death.
Therefore, Earl Hall may not be really dead.
Edward stepped forward and grabbed Earl Hall's hand. He put the resurrection stone ring on Earl Hall's finger, then took out a thousand paper cranes and a black doll from his leather bag and whispered, "You two, no matter who it is... help give Earl Hall some good luck. Help!"
He took out the gold coin and flicked it out: "Earl Hall is still alive."
Audrey's eyes fluctuated slightly with the gold coin: That's right, Edward can reverse the result of the divination! Yes, Dad can still be saved, Dad is not dead.
The gold coin flew into his palm, with the number facing up, indicating a negative.
Edward used [Madman on the Right] without hesitation to reverse the situation.
Almost in the next second, Earl Hall, who had been lifeless, suddenly made a sound. He took a deep breath and then began to spurt out bright red blood again.
Audrey hurriedly hugged her father: "Dad, Dad."
Unfortunately, Earl Hall fell to the ground again a few seconds later, his eyes wide open, his chest rising and falling rapidly with his rapid breathing, and then his breath quickly faded away again.
Count Hall's breath became weaker and weaker, until blood gushed out of his throat again. His body twitched for a while and then suddenly straightened up. His pupils quickly dilated and he lost consciousness.
"Daddy, woooo, woooo, daddy."
Audrey lay on Earl Hall's body, crying loudly.
Edward stared at Earl Hall, who was once again completely dead, and clenched his fingers tighter and tighter, repeating in his heart: "It's OK, it's definitely OK, it's definitely OK."
Pop.
Suddenly, the ring on Earl Hall's finger made a slight shattering sound, and a tiny crack appeared on the surface of the resurrection stone inlaid on the ring.
Audrey, who was immersed in pain, of course did not notice any of this and she was still sobbing softly.
A big hand with a familiar touch touched the back of Audrey's head, and then her father's puzzled voice came to her ear: "Baby, what's wrong with you?"
"dad?"
Audrey's body trembled, and she looked up suddenly, just in time to see her father's bright blue eyes.
"Oh my god, why am I covered in blood..."
He sat up and looked down at his clothes in shock. "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
Mrs. Hall immediately walked over in shock, her face full of disbelief: How could a person who was clearly dead suddenly come back to life as if nothing had happened?
Count Hall looked at the blood on his body and the floor in shock. Soon a memory emerged in his mind. He was full of doubt: "I was just... killed by Hibbert?"
"Yes, I am dead." He muttered to himself, "So, I am alive again?
