Chapter 16: Monsters
When Ifu woke up, it was already dark, and she ran downstairs to look for Tuote, but the other employees told Ifu that Tuot had gone out not long ago. Ifu sat downstairs and waited, and after a while, he saw that Chloe had also come to the first floor.
"Early. Ifu greeted Kolo, "Good morning, Ifu, is it convenient to have breakfast together?..." Kolo saw Ifu and sent out an invitation, Ifu nodded, got up and went to the second floor with Kolo.
"You should have known about Sand Hina before, why are you so impulsive. Speaking of which, this is the first time Ifu has eaten food in the inn, where he can eat the specialties of Tsukishi, Bukrandu, and Soflant, Ifu poked a cauliflower and asked Colo.
"It's still too conceited, and it's too touted in Yuecheng and the society, so that I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, and I turn a deaf ear to the teacher's persuasion and teachings. Chloe shook his head, he was disappointed in himself, "I heard Thot say that you were honored five years ago, and if nothing happened recently, you wouldn't be like this." Yi Fu analyzed, Kolo was deeply admired, there was only a short exchange between them, but she actually thought about it so much.
"That's true... I don't know if you know, there is a village called Shenyin Village near Fusairuo, where most of the inhabitants are descendants of the Huadai and Luoxiao clans, which used to be a popular village, but later oppressed by the Black Church. Luana's parents were born in Shenyin Village, but they came to Moon City in their early years, so they survived, but Luana's other uncles and aunts were brutally killed by Sha Yan's men one by one over the years, and recently she learned that her grandfather was beheaded in public by Sha Yan's men half a year ago, and her cousin was publicly beheaded by Sha Yan's men... Later, she was brought back and tortured by Sha Hin, becoming a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, although Luanna has very little contact with these relatives, but after all, they are connected by blood. Chloe remembered the usually arrogant Luana, and the devastated look he showed when he learned the news, he was indeed a little out of his mind at that moment, so when she proposed, he was willing to accompany her for revenge.
"Doesn't Sand Hina know magic, and has he defeated you by physical means?" Hearing this, Ifu continued to ask, holding back the vomiting sensation in his chest. "Yes, it's no exaggeration to say that she's like a devil, not only can she block my bullets, but even Luana's magic is useless, and she's suitable for a wide variety of weapons, any weapon she can use. "It's really scary..."Ifu didn't speak, thinking about Sha Hin's relationship with the Black Church, "She must have been controlled by the Black Church when she was a child." "Yes, the conclusion given by the Holy Church is the same, and her current personality may also be related to being brainwashed. Chloe answered Yi Fu's question, today's Yi Fu was different from the lively, joking Yi Fu he saw yesterday, she was calm in front of her, and she could analyze things calmly.
"Has the Holy Church come to some conclusions that she was experimented on in vivo? I still don't think her actions can be classified as human anymore. Yi Fu suddenly thought of the monster beside Depp that day, and asked. "Someone did suggest that after all, the Underworld Church had created a poisonous beast... However, poisonous beasts often need to be controlled, and it can be difficult to communicate, but Sand Hina is really the first one who can speak and move freely, and because there is no definite evidence, this conjecture has been temporarily rejected. Chloe replied to Ifu's question, "Hmm... By the way, you asked me to have breakfast today, you probably didn't want to talk to me, do you have anything you want to say?"
"Yes, I would like to help you do something as well, and I believe that your current path leads to the future. Chloe pondered his words and pleaded. "Oh? Chloe smiled confidently, "In the Moon Domain, Ni Xia is not a title that can be used casually, thinking about what happened in Moon City recently, as well as some of your behavioral characteristics, I think you should be the future queen of Bukland in Moon City in recent days, and although I am a junior, I have studied the history of foreign countries and the history of seventeen years ago, I think you are not a stand-in for Ai Wei Wanding, you are herself, and you were killed by the Black Church back then, I believe you will not just give up." Chloe uttered his analysis.
"You're amazing, but I'm uncomfortable with honorificsβdon't say honorifics to me anymore. Yifu expressed his approval of Kolo, "Your analysis is very correct, but there is one point, now I can't bear the name of Aviantidin, not only do I not have that strength, but I don't even have memory." Yi Fu spread his hands and said helplessly, "It's a vase lady." β
Chloe was amused by the title, "And will you allow me to join?" Ifu thought for a moment, "I'll relay your thoughts to my companions, and I'll get back to you at that time." β
Thort's voice came from downstairs, Ifu and Kolo cleaned up and went downstairs, Thort said that he had handed over Luanna to Mochizuki, and as he was talking, Ifu's address book came from Ricos's voice "Are you all here? I have something to tell!!" She seemed to be very anxious, Ifu touched the address book and asked, "What's wrong?" Red, Xia Li, and Ifu said in unison. "Come on to the cornflowers, and I won't be able to finish talking about this for a while, and I've got something to show you!" "Okay, I'll be there soon." Xia Li said, "By the way, I have a gentleman named Chloe here who also wants to help." "Take this opportunity to speak," Chloe ?... Could it be the 'Silver Spear of the Moon God'?" asked Red. "Exactly. Yifu glanced at Chloe, he didn't expect him to be so famous. "It would be great if he was willing to help us, so bring him along. Red said.
"Who are you talking to?" Chloe wondered, "my companions, they have given you permission to come with me. Ifu laughed, "Follow me." Chloe immediately followed Yi upstairs. "Hmm..."Yi Fu looked at Kolo as he took out the key, the dust on his clothes had been cleaned, but there were still traces of friction on the floor, "I'm also a top student of the Su Shi Society, you shouldn't want my companions to see your embarrassed appearance." Chloe looked at his attire, "Yes, but the embarrassed man who ran away with his tail between his legs was exactly what I did." β
Yi Fu looked up and down with the eyes of the stubborn donkey, well... It's about eight centimeters taller than himself, Yi Fu thought, opened the wardrobe and found the largest trench coat, and used the transfer technique on it, and the next second the trench coat was neatly worn on Kolo. "It fits perfectly. Chloe was still amazed at how the clothes were put on in an instant, and saw Ifu stretch out his hand to him, he didn't know what Ifu wanted to do, Isuke snorted in two tones, "Reach over, don't go, wait for me to invite you to dance?"
In the blink of an eye, they appeared among the cornflowers.
"Ah, Lord Kolo, I usually only listen to your name, and this is truly extraordinary. Red smiled charmingly when she saw the two of them come in. "You are... Miss Asha Gartha?!" Chloe was also shocked when he saw red.
"Red... Don't get excited at the sight of a sharpshooter. Iserti tugged at her red clothes and said.
"Okay, let's get down to business first, why did Ricos call us back in such a panic?" asked Red, recovering to her serious form. Ricles, who had always been noisy, raised her head, she seemed to be very frightened, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, "This matter starts with me starting to investigate the other subordinates of the Earl, because Red has exterminated the group of people stationed in the ancient temple of Kashgar... I wanted to see if there were any clues to follow, so I went to the ancient temple of Kashgar again...", Ricoss looked a little hollow, and told what she had experienced.
"I've been looking for a long time, and I've looked through the documents, and the few results I got are useless, and several organizations that appeared in the materials have long been served in a pot, and I felt like I'm in a hurry..." "I felt like I was in the air, a little angry... I walked to the waterfall underground and kicked it hard, and then I heard something moving, as if the mechanism was open, and it seemed that the temple was about to collapse, and in short, the ground shook twice, and when I wanted to run... I noticed that the waterfall suddenly stopped flowing, and a stone door actually opened behind the waterfall. There was no emotion in Ricles' tone. "I didn't even notice such a mechanism last time," Red muttered.
"It's not easy to find, there's no trace of it on the outside. Rickes replied to Hong's words, and continued: "I waded into the water, and it was a very damp tunnel inside, and the more I walked, the wider it became, and the ground and walls were covered with moss, and I guess no one had been here for a long time... I wanted to go back until it was dark, but there was a natural light in the tunnel, so I kept walking, and it took a long time to walk to the end, inside was a circular space, the walls were covered with moss, and there was nothing special compared to the outside, I looked for a long time, and found a ladder under the thick moss, but the ladder had become rotten wood, I observed the position near the ladder, and saw an iron ring above my head, so I wrapped my belt around the hilt of the sword and passed it, fortunately, this iron ring was very strong, I climbed up and found that the position of the iron ring was a square, I tried to push it, although it was rusty, but finally pushed it away... It's dark inside, and the building looks gray... It should also be the site of the Kashgar Dynasty, because I have no place to put my feet, so I can only climb up... When I climbed up, I smelled a rancid smell, and there was a smell of blood, and there were a lot of hair-like threads on the ground, and I was walking in it, and the terrible thing was that I would see stumps from time to time on the road... Fingers..."Rickos remembered something terrible, and her voice began to tremble, "When I got to the end of the corner, I saw something like a door on the left, and there was a movement of gnawing on something... At first I thought it was a rat... I just tried to push it... And I saw it..."
Rickes's expression suddenly became extremely terrifying, "There are some girls in there! No, I can't call them girls anymore... They either have no eyes, or no hands and feet, their hair is shaved and cut in a mess, their complexion is like that of zombies, and they are covered in bruises, and some of them have lost their clothes... And what they're eating is... The bodies of the other girls who died..."
"What?!" Red, Charlie, and Chloe couldn't help themselves anymore and said in unison, and Isetti frowned as well. "Who did such a heart-wrenching thing..."Yi Fu had seen the least bloody scenes, she felt a little sick to her stomach, but she couldn't spit it out, and she was a little uncomfortable covering her mouth and nose.
"The scary thing is... There are a few such places, and some of them are piled with rotting corpses and bones... I was very afraid of being discovered by the owner of the house, so I jumped on the beam, and I heard what seemed to be a girl crying, but I didn't find the house for a long time, but the sound became quieter and quieter, and finally I couldn't hear it... I was so frightened that I immediately gave up looking, went back the way I came, and escaped..."After Rickos finished speaking, she couldn't help but start crying again, "Who else can do such a thing but that devil!"
Everyone present was filled with anger, "Damn Sand Hina...", Xia Li almost gritted her teeth. "Ifu, you're right, she really can't be called human anymore. Kolo calmed down and said to Ifu. "I can understand why you'd like to end her up like that. β
"I'm going to help you..."Chloe looked at Klo, and Ifu understood what Klo wanted to ask, "I'm going." "No!" Red interrupted Ifu, "Ifu, you don't know how terrible Sha Hina is, she is thousands of times more dangerous than Depp!" "Red, I'm going, if no one stops it, Sand Hina will become more and more excessive, don't worry, I can run away at any time, and it won't bother you, I'll go by myself." Yi Fu looked at Hong, word by word, Hong knew that Yi Fu was not on the spur of the moment, but that it was her decision after careful consideration, "What if you die?" asked Iseti. "I'm not going to die, no matter who it's for, I'm not going to die. Yi Fu thought that even if his strength couldn't beat Sha Yan, it would be good if he could make trouble for her and make her angry.
"Well, there's another person here who is good at escaping, count me in. "Kolo was the first to approve of Ifu, she had nothing to do with these things, but she was willing to stand up, so he had nothing to hesitate about. "I'll go too. Rikos looked up and said, "Ricos, but youβ" Red looked at her worriedly, "I'm fine, on the contrary, it's because I saw that scene that I'm going." I can't make more girls like that again, so Ifu, please let me join in!" Ricos stood up, her eyes unusually determined, even though she still looked so haggard.
"Well, that's me, I've always wanted to compete with the moon god's silver spear. Red smiled helplessly at first, and then showed her usual confident and charming smile, "... You people are really, only Yifu can do magic, if she is beaten badly, she will teleport you alone, you will be tired to death, Miss Ben will also come to help. Charlie stroked her long hair and joined in. β... Just blow them all up. Iserti walked over too, a flash of fire dancing on the staff.
"You..." Yi Fu's nose was sour, it was obviously her willfulness, why were everyone willing to accompany her to do such a dangerous thing? Aren't they afraid of dying, not afraid..."Don't think so much, let's discuss the battle plan first." Red tapped Ifu's shoulder. "Sand Hina is an extremely nimble opponent, I have attacked her with the 'Night Ghost' Luana, but even with the strength of both of us, it is difficult to hurt her, not only can she dodge my bullets, but at night, even Luana's night magic can be dodged, so I think her hearing is also incomparable to ordinary people. Chloe spoke first about their experience with the Sand Hina that night, "Night magic... With the ears of our Yueyue clan that are difficult to distinguish so accurately, she can actually discern the attack track of night magic while dodging bullets..."Xia Li frowned, night magic is almost invincible magic in the night, this is due to the fact that night magic is difficult to observe with the naked eye at night, and the sound is lighter than a breeze, and it can almost kill people invisibly, but there are very few people who can master night magic, and Luanna is the best night magician of this generation, coupled with Kolo's superb spear skills, it is difficult to hurt her...
"What is the combat power of Sand Hina during the day?" Yi Fu suddenly thought, since she is almost invincible in the night, what is her state during the day?" "Yi Fu said this..."Red held her chin with her hand, and her mind was flipping through the past deeds of Sand Hin, "Sand Hina usually stays in the field near the Underworld Church during the day, speaking of which, Sand Hina seems to rarely appear in the Moon Domain during the day, and I remember only once, the time she surrounded Daisy Town, which is also the origin of her nickname... Sand Hina slaughtered the entire town of Daisy, when a mage who borrowed the life force to attack Sand Hina and guarded the town, but unfortunately although he injured Sand Hin, the town was still slaughtered, but under the effect of magic, the blood and flesh of the townspeople turned into yellow sand, and the entire town and its vicinity became a desert, and the magician preserved the last dignity of the townspeople. Red thought for a moment and said.
"Most of the Dark Churches also operate at night, and I think Sha Hina is no exception, she should have some weaknesses during the day... According to Hong's account, Sand Hina was also injured in Daisy Town, and I think it would be difficult for ordinary magicians to hurt her even if they used the power of life. Yi Fu said, "It is true that as Yi Fu said, Sand Hina must not be as strong during the day as he is at night, but we can't underestimate the enemy." Red has always been cautious, and repeatedly admonished.
In the afternoon, the group was ready to leave for the ancient temple of Kashgar, Xia Li found the remaining moss on Lycosi's clothes, and used teleportation magic to teleport the group to their destination.
Red looked around, remembered something, and asked, "Rickles, when you came, were there no corpses around here?" Ricles nodded, "Yes, it's very clean... I was still wondering. Red sighed, "After I cleaned up here, I left these corpses and ran away, who came here and disposed of these corpses..."
"......" Everyone fell silent. "Maybe it's the Earl, right? After discovering that this place had been cleared, he was worried that some clues would reveal the connection with him, so he sent someone to deal with it. Ifu came up with her idea. "Perhaps, but let's put this matter on the back burner, let's do the important things first. Xia Li nodded, then pointed to the stone cave under the waterfall, and after entering the stone cave, Iseti turned to cast a spell on the stone cave, "... Stay on the safe side. β
Ifu looked inside the cave, and as Ricus said, it looked like an ordinary cave. β...γ Iseti had been following Isutsu, walking and suddenly stopped, "What's wrong?" Isufu heard Isuti's voice and turned his head to look at her, and the others also stopped and turned around.
"The breath flows strangely. Iserti looked up, then closed her eyes and felt her surroundings. "We're no longer in Moon City. "What do you mean?... Have we been teleported outside of Mooncity?" Rikas asked, and Iseti nodded, "Ancient magic." β
"It seems to be the design of the Kashgar Dynasty..."Xia Li also looked around, then looked at Iseti and asked, "Iseti, can you feel where we are now?" Iseti nodded first, then shook her head. "Familiar, but unknown. β
"It's okay, when we take this city, everything will be clear!" Ifu said with a sigh, "... Brigand. "Iseti complained about Ifu rarely," ?!" The others were also surprised, "in favor of the bandits' idea." Iseti added, and smiled. "What to do, it feels like today is the last day of my life, Iseti actually smiled. Rickes pretended to clutch her heart and said.
The group finally reached the deepest part of the cave, and Rickos fell silent again, probably remembering what she had seen before, Xia Li used her magic to push the stone slab open and asked, "Everyone, are you ready?"
Chloe took out his pistol, and Red loaded the musket. "Of course. β
Ifu raised his right hand, and the blood curse in his palm was already eager to try. "No problem. β
Not to be outdone, Ricos took out her Western sword and made a handsome gesture, "Don't patronize yourself and play cool." β
β... Immature. Iseti stroked the brim of her hat and stepped forward.
Xia Li used magic to float everyone into the air and entered the ancient castle of the Kashgar Dynasty -
Sha Yan, today is the beginning of your nightmare! Yi Fu said silently in his heart.
