Chapter 212: Under the Roses
The glass greenhouse outside the window reflected the pale sun's rays, and the bright roses stood out even in the thin mist.
In the bedroom, Duke Negan seems to have regained the feeling of following his father and elders in his youth, riding horses, driving hounds, and chasing wild beasts in the vast land.
Finally, he reached the top, and all around him seemed to be strangely quiet.
At this moment, his mind suddenly buzzed, only to feel that pleasure and comfort explode violently, and constantly explode, without limits and without ends, again and again.
Duke Negan's waist trembled, his eyes went blank, and his brain lost his thoughts.
His heart beat unbearably violently, like a steam boiler with an untold amount of pressure overrun, which would blow up at any time and anywhere, and a hot mist would spew out at any time and place.
If you were an ordinary person or an extraordinary person with not very strong physical fitness, you must have had a myocardial infarction at this time, a brain hemorrhage, and died on the spot, but Duke Negan finally survived, but his eyes were distracted, the corners of his mouth were drooling, and he fell weakly to his mistress who was lying flat.
The "Wind Favorer" and the Duke's secretary, who were on guard in the rooms on either side, sensed the anomaly and mysterious smell of spirituality at the same time, and the former suddenly wrapped himself in a violent wind, swept him against the wall, and with a clatter, broke a large hole, and entered the bedroom.
The secretary went straight to the source of the mystery - the attic of this house!
Along the way, he did not dodge or dodge, but the vases and other objects used for decoration in the corridor seemed to have a life of their own, and they avoided him in a clever manner.
And as he jumped up the stairs to the attic, the wooden floor seemed to help him.
In just three or four seconds, the well-mannered, fair-eyed young man had entered the attic and saw a figure sitting in an old chair.
The figure was covered with viscous black liquid, like a collection of all the ugly desires and intense emotions in the depths of the human heart, the greed that was willing to sell the ropes that hanged itself, the hunger that the same kind did not want to let go, the unrestrained lust.
This is the demon walking on the earth!
The thin secretary's expression did not change at all, and he did not attack directly, but looked at the other party, reached back, and politely closed the door.
Bang!
The wooden door of the attic was closed.
The whole room Huo Ran had a feeling of being completely blocked, and it seemed that it was effortless to break it, and it was impossible to leave here at all.
At this moment, the concept of "closing the door and sealing the room" seems to have been tampered with as "sealing this place, isolating the inside and outside"!
The "Apostle of Desire" moved, and his body swelled and grew larger, growing a pair of huge bat wings with a pale blue tongue of fire.
Fireballs with a strong smell of sulfur took shape and slammed into Duke Negan's blonde secretary one after another.
The secretary stretched out his white-gloved left palm, clenched it violently, and half-turned his wrist.
Boom, boom, boom!
The fireballs, no longer following the principle of straight lines or parabolas, scattered violently in all directions, so chaotic that the irregular motion of tiny particles suggested by a botanist slammed into the wall, hit the ceiling, landed next to the weak secretary, and some fell backwards, nearly injuring the "Apostle of Desire" himself.
The whole attic was in shambles, with broken and charred marks everywhere, and even the house shook twice.
However, the mysterious power or tampered rules of "sealing" this place have not been broken, and the surrounding walls, old wooden doors, and dusty roofs are only crumbling, but they are still falling.
The "Apostle of Desire" was not frustrated by the failure of the attempt just now, nor was he flustered because the other party's emotions were stable and the desire was restrained, unable to be controlled, and unable to catalyze, his coffee-colored eyes suddenly jumped up like a magma red, condensed into the appearance of a blonde secretary, and spat out a demonic word full of filth and stench:
"Die!"
Almost at the same time, the secretary wearing gold-rimmed glasses shrank his pupils, spread his left fist, and aimed his palm at the "Apostle of Desire".
Between Huo Ran, his figure was differentiated, one was the polite and thin himself, and the other was the shadow covered by the black liquor of "desire", and the two quickly alternated, sometimes overlapping.
"Die!"
Filthy words echoed in the attic, and Mr. Secretary snorted and took two steps back.
The divided figure then dissipated, and large rust-red marks immediately appeared on his body and face, like an iron man who had been in a damp place for many years.
He coughed violently, spitting out clumps, rusty blood.
The marks on his body slowly shook off.
Ahem, ahem!
The "Apostle of Desire" was also coughing, and he also coughed up the blood that had condensed into lumps of rust, and the viscous black liquid covering his body was much thinner.
Half of the effect of his filthy words seems to have been transferred to himself by Duke Negan's secretary!
............
inside the bedroom.
The "Wind Favorer" picked up Duke Negan and kicked the beautiful mistress to the other side, in case she was an accomplice to the attacker.
The reason why he didn't go to help Mr. Secretary was because he knew very well that he had only one duty, and that was to protect Duke Negan!
And in a similar situation, you have to watch out for more than one enemy!
At this time, Duke Negan eased up a little, but he was still weak in his hands and feet, his body was empty, and his spirit was sluggish, and he couldn't use his extraordinary abilities at all.
He motioned for the Wind Bearer to remove the conch necklace from his neck and brought the object to his mouth.
Duke Negan took a breath and blew it out violently, into the small conch full of strange patterns.
Whoa!
The low sound of the tide swayed towards the Cathedral of the Holy Winds.
"At the speed of His Excellency the Archbishop, he will be there soon!" the "Wind Favorite" was relieved at first, then took Duke Negan on his back, approached the window, and leaped down.
He was going to rendezvous with the Duke's Guard outside, and there were two or three low-order Extraordinaires inside.
Duke Negan gasped and said:
"Catch, be sure to catch the living, or, spirit......
"I want to know who it is!"
Last time, it was the pirate general Ziringers who came to assassinate him, and this time it was a strange powerhouse in Sequence 5, and Duke Negan asked himself who he hadn't developed with recently to such an undying level, so he was extremely angry and resentful.
He wants to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and use all his resources to tear the other party apart!
And all this is premised on finding clues from the assassin.
Seven or eight seconds later, most of the Duke's Guard rushed over, enclosing Pallas Negan and the Windbearer in the middle, in front of the garden.
"Just wait here, and watch out for the enemy. The "Wind Favorite" gave the order.
According to the normal process, he should protect the Duke to leave the assassination scene as soon as possible and rush to the safety of the Holy Wind Cathedral, but he did not know if there were other enemies, he was afraid of being ambushed on the way, and most importantly, he was worried that he would be staggered with the "God Songr" Ace Snake who came to help, and thus fall into a more dangerous situation.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...... Time went by, the houses trembled from time to time, and the battle inside seemed to be in a white-hot phase.
"Why hasn't the archbishop come yet?" asked Duke Negan, who had calmed down, a little alarmed.
With the speed of the other party's flight, it should be almost there, but in the direction of the Holy Wind Cathedral, the mist showed no signs of being blown away.
The "Wind Favorer" was on high alert and said hesitantly:
"Maybe, maybe the archbishop, the archbishop......"
He ultimately did not say anything about the possibility that the archbishop was not in the Basilica of the Holy Wind.
Just then, Duke Negan's beautiful mistress walked to the window of the bedroom on the second floor, and her eyes showed a poignant smile in her eyes.
Immediately afterward, she jumped down, deliberately hit her head on the ground, and slammed into the concrete ground.
Bang!
After the tooth-sore sound, the beautiful head cracked a lot of cracks, and blood gushed out.
She rolled weakly a few times, eventually facing face-up.
Her eyes were completely out of focus, and her expression was full of madness and fear.
Seeing this, many members of the Duke's Guard were unable to contain their fear.
Even Duke Negan himself, under the premise of Archbishop Snake's delayed arrival, had a feeling of near-collapse of emotions.
"Go, get out of here!" he cried out instinctively.
The "Wind Favorite" was glad that he had not relented just now, and had kicked the mistress away first, otherwise the Duke would have been killed on the spot, when he heard the command, which was full of fear, his heart suddenly chuckled.
In the attic, the "Apostle of Desire" Huo Di in the fierce battle liquefied, turning into many black shadows, jumping all over the ground.
After avoiding the blonde secretary's attack, he regrouped in the other direction.
Then, looking at the enemy, he raised his right arm, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
"No!" the blonde secretary's eyes reddened.
In an instant, the "Apostle of Desire" clenched his fists.
Outside the luxurious house, Duke Negan's panic exploded, rushing straight into his brain, burrowing into his veins and covering his nerves.
He heard the sound of something shattering, and felt a warmth in the back of his head.
At the same time, several members of the Duke's Guard became panicked, raising their special revolvers or rifles in their hands, and fired indiscriminately into the middle.
Bang! Bang!
The "Wind Favorite" took the lead, grabbed Duke Negan, and rolled to the ground, and pieces of invisible wind as sharp as knives appeared out of thin air, slitting the throats of the guards.
Plop, plop, the guards clutched their throats and slowly fell to the ground in the blood that flowed out, while Duke Negan's body twitched a few times but stopped moving.
He was killed by his own fear.
If he weren't a Sequence 6 Extraordinary, his fear would have even torn him apart.
Of course, if he hadn't become extremely weak, he wouldn't have had such violent emotions, and even if he had, he wouldn't have died directly because of this.
But there is no if, the head of the Conservative Party, the biggest landed aristocrat outside the king, the brother of the current prime minister, the extraordinary man of Sequence 6, the real big man, Duke Pallas Negan, died like this.
Roses in a nearby glass greenhouse are still in full bloom.
Inside the attic, the blonde secretary clearly sensed something, and his emotions could no longer be controlled.
So, his mind went blank, and he ran anxiously out, opening the door of the sealed room by himself.
Two seconds later, he reacted and turned again, only to see the figure covered in black liquid and the suitcase in the corner gone.
............
The "Apostle of Desire" quickly left the villa and evacuated the scene according to the predetermined route.
At this moment, a thick sea of blood seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
