Chapter 18: The Other Side of the River of Blood
The water of the River of Blood is surging, riding the river monster, breaking the waves, and the shore in the distance is getting closer and closer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It's finally on the other side!" said the Bishop, like an old man who had finally been liberated after a long time.
"We'll be safe when we get ashore, right?" Anne watched as the river monster approached the shore, and the many walking corpses crawled up the riverbank, as if expressing their heart's hopes, as if asking the black-robed bishop.
"I'm afraid it's not safe yet, I'm not sure. The Bishop said helplessly as he watched the river monster slowly dive down, and more and more walking corpses came ashore.
According to the Divine Sayings, there was a court on the other side of the river of blood that tried the sins of the human being. After a pause, the Bishop said, "Whoever comes to the court of hell must give up all hope in life and devote himself to repentance, and must not be delusional and disobey all the sanctions set by God." ā
As he spoke, the walking corpses on the river monster had all gone ashore. Then the river monster transformed into a small boat, and the black-robed bishop led Anne and Dumb out of the boat. The boat floated back into the river of blood with no one to drive it.
"Jakes, let's go!" Watching Dumb watch the boat disappear, Annie pulled Dumb. Dumb glanced at Anne with a dull look in her eyes, and took two steps with her body very uncoordinated.
"Jakes......" Anne was just about to ask Dumb about his current condition, when the black-robed bishop next to him pulled Anne and said to Anne: "Don't disturb him yet, if I'm not mistaken, what kind of magic is he using." ā
Half an hour later.
"Ahem, it's been a long time!" a voice that felt familiar to Anne sounded, and Anne suddenly realized that the voice was coming from Dumb's body.
"Mr. Hat?!" Anne felt surprised and delighted.
"Okay, little girl! "Mr. Hat's sudden resurrection was quite a surprise.
"Hello senior!" The black-robed bishop gave Mr. Hat a lot of face, and the title turned out to be senior.
"The Walking Dead...... There are a lot of them!" Mr. Hat seemed to have just spotted the group of walking corpses in front of him, and sighed.
"By the way, Mr. Hat, why were you suddenly silent before?" Anne remembered Mr. Hat's silence at that time, and kept feeling that something strange about it.
"Because I'm dead!" said Mr. Hat.
"Does Mr. Hat have a lifespan?" Anne asked, but as soon as she finished asking, she realized that it seemed like a very stupid question.
"To be precise, I am inanimate, nothing more than a created thing. But I also have a lifespan. If I hadn't been harmed before, I feel like I could have lived for a few hundred years. Mr. Hat made a light statement about his own death.
"Mr. Hat, who is so hateful that he killed you then?" said Anne with a look of revenge for Mr. Hat, much to the delight of Mr. Hat.
"I didn't actually see who it was. But if I'm not mistaken, it's likely that the guy who killed me was the guy named Snickes!"
"Snax!" the name startled Anne.
"Isn't he a magician of the Celestial Cult, why would he harm you for no reason?" Anne's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I'm just guessing that he's most likely. ā
"Why do you say that?" Anne's heart calmed a little when she heard Mr. Hat's guess.
"Because the kid appeared strangely, and he kept trying to hypnotize me with hypnosis. Mr. Hat gave his reasoning.
"How did Mr. Hat find out that he hypnotized you?" Anne was in the mood as if someone had suddenly discovered aliens.
"Hypnosis is invisible, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it, so they can only speculate from their own abnormalities. Because I felt like we were all a little agitated when we were in church, and the kid looked like he was practicing magic. So it's very likely that he was pretending to be cultivating and using magic on us while we weren't ready. Mr. Hat made a plausible inference.
"Senior, I'm afraid there is some insufficient evidence for such inferences!" the black-robed bishop seemed to be a more fair person. "You have no conclusive evidence of guilt. According to the practice of our Celestial God Sect, we advocate that it is better to indulge than to be in vain!"
"Well, the guy who killed me was the one who attacked me in a magic array, so I really don't know who it is!" Mr. Hat finally had his own speculation, but he was easily determined to be untrustworthy, and he felt a little helpless.
"I hope it won't be Sneks, I'm a little worried about the townspeople. Anne remembered that when she said goodbye to Thinx, the guy said she was going back to town. If Mr. Hat's speculation is true, I don't know what else he can do back in town.
"By the way, how did you two get to this hellish place!" asked Mr. Hat, as if suddenly remembering something important.
"It's a long story, Jakes and I wanted to take a look at the holy city of Sistria, but we didn't expect that the demons had already taken over the holy city. We were besieged by demonic magic circles, but thanks to the Bishop of Sistria, we were helped by the Bishop of Sistria......"
"I see, well, I know what is going on. Mr. Hat interrupted Anne.
"What should come will come, and what should go will always go. It's been hundreds of years, and it's going to go on forever, and that's the way the world is. Let's keep walking!" Mr. Hat sighed inexplicably, and the three of them were ready to move on.
I was only talking before, but when I walked forward, I found that almost all the walking corpses had disappeared from the distance, and only one of the walking corpses with blue bodies was still standing nearby, as if waiting for something.
"Dumb, do you know this guy? Why did you let him stay. Mr. Hat looked at the cyan walking corpse, a little puzzled.
"Babble!" Dumb said twice and waved his hand. It seems to be answering Mr. Hat's question, and it seems to be beckoning the walking corpse.
And the walking corpse "Xiaoqing" is like an obedient child, and walked to Dumb's side in a proper manner.
Then Dumb stared at the cyan walking corpse and looked at it carefully, seemingly very happy.
"Let's hurry up, we still have a way to go!" the black-robed bishop glanced at the cyan walking corpse, and seemed to be a little disliking. But he didn't say anything, and the leader left first.
"Let's go too!" Anne was also a little uncomfortable looking at the walking corpse, so she simply leaned on Dumb and grabbed Dumb's arm.
So there was another walking corpse in the group.
After walking a short distance, a huge underground palace came into view.
"It seems that my speculation is correct!" the black-robed bishop looked at the luxuriously built dungeon, his expression was both happy and a little worried.
"When you come here, you have to be careful of Xiao Doudou! It's best that everyone doesn't disperse, so as not to be treated as a bad person by Xiao Doudou, and it will be troublesome. Mr. Hat suddenly had a long beanie and a short beanie, and Anne was completely confused, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Hat, who is Little Beanie?"
"Don't you know Doudou, don't you know where this is?" Mr. Hat seemed surprised. But soon he seemed to react.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that I gave him the name Doudou, you don't call it that. By the way, what are you calling him? That's a mouthy name. Mr. Hat was recalling.
"Palclus!" added the black-robed bishop.
"Yes, that's the name!" Mr. Hat was about to say something, but the black-robed bishop panicked, pulling Anne and Dumb to turn around and run.
"What's the matter, what's in danger again?" asked Anne, who hadn't yet figured out what was going on.
"Palclos is here!" said the black-robed bishop as he ran.
"Palclus?" to Annie, who hasn't studied "God Says" seriously, some of the names are really just floating clouds.
"It's the three-headed dog of hell!" the black-robed bishop really wanted to die, and his voice was a little out of tune.
"I see!" Anne realized. Then a sharp barking of dogs came from behind.
"No! it's coming towards us!" the black-robed bishop heard the voice approach, and ran harder and harder. However, Dumb suddenly broke free of his hand, allowing him to turn his attention to Dumb's side.
"Jakes!" Anne also noticed that Dumb had stopped, and couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Don't run, don't run! you can't outrun Doudou. Besides, with me, do you need to run like this?" Mr. Hat stayed with Dumb firmly. But speaking of which, the hat really seems to be not afraid of dogs, and he doesn't have legs yet, so he can't decide whether to run on his own or not.
As he spoke, the three-headed dog of hell came over with a haunt, his tall body as tall as a two-story building. Dumb silently looked at each other. Before Anne could react, one of the three-headed dogs opened its bloody mouth and bit Dumb's head.
