Silver City, Berg's house.

Looking at the blood-stained scalp with short black hair, Derrick Huo Ran thought of what it looked like just now, it was a beautiful and alluring "mushroom", and he almost couldn't control it and swallowed it in his stomach.

And the dum fruit that Duck wants to eat for himself, the dumu fruit that makes a crunchy sound when bitten is actually a bloody human finger with a slightly pale skin!

At this moment, Darerick's stomach spasmed violently, and the sour liquid rushed to his throat.

He resisted the urge to vomit and quickly sang a lyric in the voice of a male duck:

"Thy kingdom come, O God, that the enemies will be scattered and the believers rejoice!"

The song exuded a little warmth and sacredness, and Daric felt that all the discomforts in his body had calmed down, and his spirit became full and lively.

His courage, his strength, his agility, were all dramatically enhanced in this song.

This is the extraordinary ability of Sequence 9 "The Praiser".

Duck stared at his classmate and former teammate who was singing in a low voice, his expression becoming more and more gloomy, and his speech felt less and less human:

"What's on you......

"What's on you?

"What's on you!"

Suddenly, Dark's clothes were propped up and protruded in strips, like a nest of poisonous snakes stuffed underneath, poisonous snakes that were constantly swimming and wriggling.

Whoosh! Bloody strips of flesh pierced through the black tights, with rough skin covered with body hair.

The strips of flesh danced outward, making Duck look like a blood-colored soft hairy hedgehog!

With a swipe, the strips of meat rushed towards Darik, who was standing there.

Darek is also a patrol member who has seen a lot of monsters, and he doesn't panic too much in the face of this situation.

With a twist of his waist, his arm raised, and he swung down the "Hurricane Axe" that he had long held in his palm.

Burst!

The Hurricane Axe slashed at several bloody strips of flesh, slicing them off and causing them to fall to the ground.

However, because it was the "night" of Silver City, this blow failed to bring lightning, and more strips of flesh rushed wildly, wrapping the Hurricane Axe around and around, and not letting go.

Seeing that the weapon could not be withdrawn, a pure light lit up in Darik's eyes, as if two small suns had descended on the room, and his other hand had been held in front of his mouth and nose, making a gesture of prayer.

Silently, a pillar of clear light burning with flames fell out of thin air, hitting the tangled strip of blood-colored flesh.

Duck let out an unbearable scream, and many strips of flesh broke black and fell to the ground.

They struggled and throbbed, as if they were alive.

And the spirituality contained in these blood-colored strips of flesh, which was no longer under the control of the original owner, gradually merged with the natural power leveraged by the sacrificial ritual incantation, gathering more and more pale red "waves".

This "wave" plunged into the dim flame of the candle, causing the latter to swell and grow larger, forming an illusory and mysterious door.

On that candle, a hidden symbol symbolizing the "fool" has long been depicted by Derrick!

It's prepared in advance.

It all adds up to a sacrifice ritual with simple steps but complete elements!

Click!

As the chair shattered, Duck pounced on Darik with a waving strip of blood-colored flesh, no fear in his eyes, no nervousness, only the purest and most fiery desire.

And at this time, Crane, who was above the gray fog, responded.

In the unrealistic creaking sound, a crack opened in the illusory door with many strange patterns.

Behind the gap was a deep darkness, and in the darkness there were countless transparent shadows that were difficult to describe.

The heights of these shadows are covered with seven paths of pure light of different colors that contain infinite knowledge.

And above that glitter, there was an endless gray mist, an ancient palace looking down on the gray mist.

Huo Ran, a shadow burst out from the dark corner, and at once it covered the nearest Duck.

The blood-colored strips of flesh that Duck waved around him were all encased in the pitch-black and viscous "liquid", and the whole person became like a cat that had slipped into an opaque bag.

The shadow did not stop, and quickly stretched out on the ground, surging towards Derik, who had dodged to another position, and shouted loudly:

"Stop! What are you going to do!"

As a monitor, his original plan was to watch the changes first, record the corresponding anomalies, and wait for the situation to become out of control, and then take action to stop the strange two sides.

But when he saw a crack open in the illusory door filled with strange symbols and signs, he was shocked by the deep, mysterious, lofty, and majestic scene inside, and intuitively believed that it was related to the terrifying evil god, so he had to act in a hurry while informing him, trying to forcibly interrupt Derik's attempt to sacrifice to the being.

However, Derick had already determined his location, and the area he had chosen for himself was the one far away from him, so in order to control the teenager possessed by the mysterious man Amon, the Watcher "Shadow" had to bypass or control Duck Riggins first.

And his choice was the latter, as Duck was clearly anomalous, and it was an absolute fool's errand to leave his back to him.

Seizing this opportunity, Derrick took the tin box out of the pocket of his clothes and threw it at the illusory door created by the candle flame, and threw it at the crack that presented a magical scene.

As the tin box disappeared there, the door covered with strange symbols and signs "clanged" and disappeared quickly.

At this time, Derick remembered the advice of Mr. "Hanged Man", deliberately twisted the muscles on his face, and faced the "shadow" fiercely.

Before the "shadow" was covered, he suddenly coughed violently, coughed so much that he reached out to cover his mouth, and coughed and fell to the ground.

Pitch-black shadows spread over him, enveloping him completely.

Silence returned to the room, but there were two more huge black "silkworm chrysalis" on the floor.

After a while, the pitch-black, viscous liquid retracted and re-coalesced into a shadow.

With the disappearance of the "silkworm chrysalis", the figures of Derrick and Darker appear again.

The former fell there, unconscious, but a strange worm with twelve transparent rings fell from his hand, and the latter had turned into a mass of flesh, wriggling, roaring, and about to attack.

Faced with this situation, the monitor had no choice but to divide some of his strength and once again envelop the mutant monster Duck Riggins with a shadowy black "liquid".

Looking at the pale fingers scattered on the ground and the bloodstained scalp with short black hair, the monitor involuntarily took a breath and used his extraordinary ability to manipulate the shadows outside, forming tidal waves, in order to once again notify the "chief" in the round tower.

After doing this, he took a hard look at Deric's situation and saw the strange translucent worm.

"This ...... Amon's doppelganger hiding inside Darek is dead?" the monitor whispered in surprise.

He thought back to Duck's eccentricity, to the terrible mutation, to the "mushroom" and "dum fruit" that had no problem at all, and had a vague guess:

Amon may be mortal enemies with the mastermind behind the pollution of Dark, and in order to sabotage the other party's plot, even if he loses a clone, Darek goes to the training ground to observe the exploration team and report them to the "chief" Both of these things are Amun's attempts without revealing himself.

And the mastermind behind the pollution of Darkk also vaguely discovered Darrick's strangeness, so he sent Darkk to control the other party, and the blood-stained scalp and fingers were the props to achieve the goal.

Thinking of this, the monitor suddenly agreed with the "chief's" concern: the final apocalypse or a greater catastrophe is really coming, so Silver City will continue to encounter strange things, and continue to encounter hidden existences hiding in the depths of the darkness without knowing what it is.

............

Round Tower, inside the Chief Chamber.

The "shadow" described what had happened as it was.

Collin Iliad, with gray hair and a scar on his face, listened quietly and bowed his head softly:

"Derrick, or Amun, did prepare in advance.

"The candle engraved with the symbol, the evil object that would expose Dark's problem, the whispered prayer under the pretext of pouring water, and the sacrificial ritual that finally gave the object away, all show that the whole thing is going according to his plan.

"Two questions, one, who exactly does the hidden symbol on the candle point to, Amun himself or the god behind him?, two, why would Amon prefer not to have this clone and let the anomaly of the exploration team be exposed, because he and the one behind the curtain are mortal enemies?

"Could it be that he foretold this in advance, so he deliberately met the previous exploration team and let the clone lodge in their body, so as to sabotage the plan of the one behind the Veil?

Hearing the chief's question, the "shadow" monitor suddenly said:

"Maybe that's true!

"Sir 'Chief', think about it, why did Amon wait patiently for forty-two years, but suddenly let Hudel get out of control after Deric was locked up next door to him?

"Indeed...... We were only thinking about what was wrong with Derik and didn't think about the timing. "Silver City" Chief "Colin" responded thoughtfully.

The "shadow" monitor immediately said:

"Your Excellency, please take control of all members of this exploration team at once, they are definitely in trouble! and...... Elder Lovia, there's a good chance she's also tainted!"

Colin frowned slightly and said:

"Before you reported this, even before Duck went out, Lovia came to me and told me that she suspected that the members of the expedition had been contaminated by something, and suggested that some surveillance be done in secret, and if necessary, that they be put on duty at the inverted mausoleum of Elder Harvic. ”

Harvic was the former "chief" of Silver City, and built a mausoleum for himself deep into the ground, after which he lived in it, appearing less and less, and eventually, the gate was closed, never to be opened again.

"Elder Lovia has already mentioned anomalies?" the Shadow Monitor asked in amazement.

After receiving an affirmative answer, he whispered, half puzzled and half relaxed:

"Elder Lovia has no problem......

“...... I've sent someone to control the members of the exploration team, but we can't ignore the other possibilities. "Chief," Colin said, puffing, "Let Avlo come over and I'll interrogate Derick Berg with her." ”
