Chapter 40: Spiritualism
Following the advice of Xuanyu and Lucia, Sam fled back to his home in the southwest overnight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's just that the distance is too far, and after running for a long time, he sits out of breath and sits on a stone next to him to rest. The night grew deeper. There was not a glimmer of light on the road, and even then, Sam did not dare to rest much and wait for the moment when the sun rose, he was afraid that the "Captain of the Praetorian Guard" in the church would wake up and trouble him. I always think that it will be safe to get home earlier, but this is not the case.
Sam, who was sitting on the side of the road, didn't care about wiping his sweat, he just wanted to catch his breath and continue running. But it was then that he sensed that something was wrong. His wheezing was loud, but now it sounded like two people gasping, and he turned his head slowly to see that there was nothing but darkness.
Sam's heart began to rise and fall, comforting himself and humming a little song to embolden himself. He got back to his feet and hurried away, and suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of him. He sat back in fright. As soon as he turned around, he was so frightened that the blood in his whole body was cold!
It was a vampire, back to back with him. The cold thing he had just touched was his hand, and his mouth was now fully open, and his huge fangs were exposed, and a clear, sticky unknown liquid filled between his teeth.
"Ahh Sam yelled and fell off the stone, his body trembling and moving backwards, his legs already limp, without any strength.
The vampire in front of him disappeared in a flash, but in less than a second, he appeared behind Sam. Before he could react, he bit down on his neck.
At this moment, a cyan blue light flashed, and under the pressure of the powerful air wave, the vampire was shocked out more than ten meters away. Frightened, Sam turned his head, and the air gradually revealed Xuanyu's figure. The vampire's speed was amazing, and he moved more than ten meters in an instant, and suddenly appeared behind Xuanyu, grabbed his slender neck, and bit down again. Unexpectedly, Xuanyu grabbed his throat with his backhand, making him unable to move, and the blue light burned like a raging fire. In an instant, the vampire was reduced to ashes.
Sam stared blankly, and before he could react, a voice echoed through the night: "Who are you!" How dare you do my thing! ”
It was from Sam's mouth that these words came out, and at this time his eyes were glazed over, his face was stiff, and he looked like he was being controlled. Contrary to Sam, Xuanyu's eyes were determined and his expression was calm: "I guessed correctly." ”
Sam said, "What do you mean?" ”
"Unlike the possession of the first gold coin, Sam is possessed and also has the ability to manipulate necromancy, which is puzzling to me." The corners of Xuanyu's mouth rose slightly, "I didn't understand until the moment Sam told me where the gold coin came from." In Sam's memory, although he saw the gold coin, he did not touch it, which means that he was not controlled by the curse of the gold coin at the moment when his memory was blurred. Why, then, is his memory not clear? ”
Sam didn't speak, as if waiting for Xuanyu to continue.
The answer is simple. From that moment on, Sam was controlled by magic, not from the gold coins, but from the people in the carriage. At that time, he had the ability to manipulate the necromancy. After that, he came into contact with the gold coins again, so much so that he had a demon transformation. To put it simply, poor Sam fell under two spells. "One of the spells has been lifted from the moment the gold leaves his body, and the other ......" Xuanyu looked into Sam's glazed eyes, "and it hasn't been unsolved yet." ”
"Hahaha", Sam laughed, although there was no trace of a smile on his face, but his voice was rampant, "You are very smart, but people who are too smart are generally short-lived!" ”
This time it was Xuanyu's turn to smile: "I'm afraid the word short life has nothing to do with me." ”
Sam mechanically took two steps back, picked up the large boulder on the ground, and threw it at Xuanyu. Xuanyu flashed easily, and then, Sam picked up a few sharp stones, rushed at Xuanyu, and smashed it down on his head, shouting as he smashed, "Kill you!" Kill you! ”
Xuanyu knew that it wasn't Sam who was shouting, but the man in the carriage. After controlling Sam, he wanted to kill him, so he sent vampires. If it weren't for the church, Xuanyu put a spell on Sam when he picked him up, and once he was in danger, Xuanyu would immediately know about it, so he rushed over to save him. Now, Sam's clumsy actions and the fact that he has no lethal weapon against Xuanyu all indicate that the man behind the scenes wanted to kill Sam with Xuanyu's hand. Let's not talk about the relationship between that person and the vampire, just Sam, what can make him have to die?
Xuanyu originally wanted to follow the vine and find the person behind the scenes, but this time he miscalculated, and the person refused to show up for a long time, but instead talked to him under the pretense of Sam's mouth. What a cautious man.
Xuanyu, who easily dodged the attack again, didn't want to spend more time with him, he knew that this kind of longitudinal spiritism, which could be manipulated twice through the medium, was no longer limited to short-distance control. In other words, the person controlling Sam may be nearby or thousands of miles away. Judging by the fluctuation of the air flow, the situation belongs to the second type.
It's not interesting to entangle like this, Xuanyu stretched out his hand and waved it on Sam's face, and whispered: "Solution!" ”
A cloud of black gas quickly gathered on Sam's face, and then, it came out of his mouth. Xuanyu's fingers rotated, absorbing the black qi in the palm of his hand, clenching his fist and retracting it, and when he opened it again, the black qi was gone.
Sam woke up in a daze, and it was clear that the memory he had just made was gone again. The last thing that remained in his brain was the memory of the vampire, and when he saw Xuanyu, he shouted "help" and crawled behind Xuanyu. Poor Sam couldn't understand why he was controlled twice in one night and almost killed.
"Do you have anyone else in the house?" Xuanyu asked.
Sam shook his head, "I'm the only one." ”
Xuanyu smiled: "That's easy to do." He blew at Sam, who fell to the ground. Xuanyu squatted aside, palms up, just like in the church, bubbles formed from the palm of her hand again, instantly expanding to envelop Sam, and then disappear with Sam in the sound of shattering.
On the other hand, coming out of the time tunnel, Lucia returned to the attic of Crescent Manor. The sun was shining brightly outside, and the light was shining through the window, which made Lucia, who was already used to the night, a little unaccustomed. She subconsciously covered her eyes with her arms, and just now she was in the strange church in the middle of the night, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived at the Crescent Moon Manor in the afternoon, and she had a feeling of being in a different world.
If it weren't for seeing Xuanyu standing aside, she really thought she had just had a long dream. At this time, Xuanyu's face was bloodless, and there was no expression, and his eyes were deep and sharp, which was very different from those in the church.
"The ......" Lucia rolled her eyes upwards and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "this one gives you reads;." ”
Lucia handed over the two gold coins, and Xuanyu swept them through them from the corner of her eye, without speaking.
Feeling the other party's powerful aura, Lucia didn't dare to speak much, but she couldn't just hold the coin and consume it, she bit her lip and added, "He asked me to give it to you." ”
After a while, three words came out of Xuanyu's throat: "I know." ”
Of course you do! You're the same person! Pressing the endless complaints in her heart, Lucia respectfully presented the gold coin.
Xuanyu still only glanced at it, but this time it was different, and the two gold coins gradually rose with Xuanyu's gaze, and they rotated cross-cutting in the air. The black mist was then released, the speed of rotation became faster and faster, and the mist became more and more, and finally, the two gold coins could no longer distinguish each other, and the black mist completely wrapped them, forming a black mass with a diameter of ten centimeters in the air.
At that moment there was a deafening cry and a roar in Lucia's ears, the same as one heard at Tom's house and in the church, only much louder than on both occasions. A red light flashed in Xuanyu's eyes. He slowly rose with one hand, dragging the lower end of the black ball, and the other hand on the top end of the black ball. Then the hands gently rotated the black mass until the positions of the two hands were completely reversed, and the miserable sound became smaller and smaller in the process of slowly turning, and finally disappeared.
Suddenly, Xuanyu's hands closed to the middle, and with a "snap", his hands were folded. The black mass disappeared in an instant, and when he opened his palm again, the two gold coins fell down and collided on the floor, making a crisp "dang" sound.
After a few seconds of silence, Lucia stared at the gold coins on the ground and said, "Safe?" ”
Xuanyu was noncommittal.
Lucia continued, "Can you give me these two gold coins?" ”
Facing Lucia, who was greedy for money, Xuanyu took a long breath and said, "Whatever you want." ”
Lucia happily picked up the gold coins and put them back in her pocket. Suddenly, she remembered something and raised her head again: "What about Rod?" ”
Xuanyu didn't speak, he walked straight behind Lucia and opened the door. Lucia leaned over and looked in, it was a very ordinary room, with a bed, a wardrobe, and a table. Lucia was surprised to find that the person lying on the bed was none other than Rod!
