Chapter 44 The Base
This kind of dark night is very suitable for people like necromancers, like turtles can swim faster in water, necromancers know how to use this fog to hide their bodies and use more secret means to eliminate traces of a certain place. They were so swift and decisive that they brought contempt and fear to their actions that no one would tolerate them, not even their own employers.
But apparently Zach didn't care if he had a place to stay, at least on the surface he didn't like to lie on such a comfortable luxury blanket, preferring a hard tent under the wet and cold air of the Kegistan jungle was more reassuring, and Rasmo himself was so casual, and thought that it was necessary to maintain the peace of the universe.
He constantly walks on unfamiliar paths, although he can jump back and forth between tall buildings, but in order to maintain a minimum of physical fitness and familiarity with unfamiliar paths, he will avoid being spotted by the present world wearing strange clothes, and at the same time have to think about how to explain if he is caught by the current law enforcers. Although his actions were assigned by the teacher, there seemed to be no specific plan, and he himself didn't know where he was going to find the organization to fight against the demons in Nanjing, and where would the president who was said to be very successful be located?
His knees kept raising and falling lightly, but still hitting a large bag around his waist, and the black bag, which was very distinct and distinct from his canvas bag, contained the skulls of his companions with whom he had been living and dying.
"Zach, you're walking so fast. I mean...
"Shut up, Humbat. It's still possible that someone will notice us. The skull seemed to make a sound, but it was quickly stopped by the necromancer, and even after death, the unwilling loneliness of the captain of the Humbat guard made it always meet Zack's strict warnings, well, even if he only had a skull left. A companion who died tragically during a past trip was summoned by a young necromancer at the time and attached to the bones. Although Humbart helped Zach in many places, his biggest role was probably only to make Zach less lonely.
Although he was silent for a while, after a while he stirred again, making it sound as if the skull in the bag was shaking violently, but this time Zach did not stop his companion, for he himself stopped and held his breath, and for a moment time seemed to stand still. Somewhere in the air seemed to be something terrible, so that the undead Humbart, who was left with only the head, unconsciously moved, and such movements were always there, and only before facing the impending tragedy.
Zach simply gestured through the air with his leather-gloved index finger, like a teacher manipulating a blackboard. Then he turned his direction again, and then sprinted towards the alley he was facing, no more than 500 meters away, but in a straight line.
Charlene hadn't exercised so late for a long time, and today she deliberately chose to go out for a run at night, not only to go to the convenience store by the way, but also to relieve the pain in her spine caused by long-term reading, he pushed his glasses, and was almost sure that his parents would not come home tonight, so he would contribute to dinner. But what to do? Can you only eat instant noodles when you don't know anything? In the past, my mother always asked if I had a girlfriend, and the only advantage of having a girlfriend - in Charlene's opinion, was that if my mother was not there, she should be able to have a delicious dinner.
At least for me now, if you don't want to go to a convenience store to sell snacks, then you can go straight home and enjoy the temporary but not very healthy pleasure brought by instant noodles, but today Charlene wants to revolutionize and defeat herself who can't do anything. He's going to take a shortcut to the convenience store, and he's going to quicken the pace.
Charlene, who was running fast, could barely confirm what she was going to buy, but she wanted to buy...
"Ahh Charlene herself screamed along with the fall of something above the alley, which later seemed to be a shelf in front of a certain window. At the same time, he also leaned his back against the hard concrete floor, and he couldn't even support it, who was it?
But the qiฤ in front of her made Charlene open her mouth wide, and her heart shrank suddenly, this is simply a monster. The almost crowded space in the alley was filled with the monster he had only seen on TV, he was on the ground with both feet and holding two knives, and it seemed that the sharpness of Cheng Dรน was really the root cause of the fall of the shelf just now. It's a joke, right?
Charlene couldn't laugh out, he didn't even think about it for the first time, maybe it was just a prop from a film and television base, maybe he himself was a strange enough person, and it seemed to be the same in his class. So after seeing the monster, Charlene smiled happily, and he muttered: "It's so handsome, the monster is a zร i." Still not thinking about the consequences if it was really a monster, he was frantically finding his phone and starting to take pictures.
The blade fell back, but it did not succeed in harvesting any exciting blood red, Charlene who was lying on the ground did not know when he dodged this fatal blow, but he understood the reason why he couldn't get up, because a certain necromancer who arrived in time pressed on Charlene's body, and strange people appeared one after another, which alone made Charlene happy and couldn't help herself, and Charlene was shouted back to her senses by the necromancer Zack.
"Thank you, hero." Charlene seems to be saying NPC lines that she heard out of nowhere, and she really has enough middle two. "What's your name, my name is Charlene, I like the encounter of fate, it's all written in the novel, are you here to sign a contract with me or something?"
Zach couldn't answer the child's questions at all, and in the face of the crisis in front of him, he didn't even have the time to nod his head, he pushed Charlene away, causing the latter to roll around the alley a few times and then slam into the wall hard, maybe it was an illusion, Charlene had a cooperative excited expression on her face.
The swing of the blade flew down again, but the demon apparently chose to target the more threatening Zach himself. "Come on, chops!" Zack, who rolled on the spot, flashed behind the demon and quickly pulled out a white short sword, the short sword that bloomed with a strange light seemed to let out a miserable moan, and the light became very huge, it seemed that it was no longer just confined to the area of the blade, and the light emitted shot at the demon, but it seemed that the demon did not have a trace of damage, and the extraordinary repercussions brought by those light waves to the demon were probably only the white residue that was blocked and scattered on the ground at his feet.
However, the white residue burned like a flame and did not disappear completely, forming all kinds of strange patterns on the ground, unrecognizable, ancient patterns. Zach didn't look at the demon at all, and with a skillful wave of his hand, he triggered the rune circle around the demon. A huge number of white rope beams were shot from the white runes, they were the souls of the local deceased, summoned by Zack because of the need, after binding the monster's body, with a message from the ground to seal the demon to hell, the demon wrapped in white rope was also pierced by white light through the many large pits.
Finally, there is the crackling and hissing, although the time lasts for a short time, but the necromancer Zack obviously feels very troubled, there are few human users who can guarantee that the demon life is still consumed very little after ending the demon's life so quickly, that is impossible, the mask is an exception, this is the disadvantage of manpower, after a large amount of consumption, it must be replenished in a normal way, and once the soul receives the damage of the demon and the injury of ordinary people, it needs to be restored.
The demon was gone, just as it had been before it appeared, as if nothing had happened here. Even if there is a masked organization in this city, there are still bad acts of devouring souls here, and the masked will still not act so quickly, and this imbalance may be waiting for someone like Zack to arrive.
"You're amazing, big brother."
"I'm not Big Brother, I'm Zach Evans. It's a necromancer, what's that look on your face? Zach had thought Charlene wouldn't believe it.
"Of course I do, and it's cool, big brother, to destroy the enemy like that. My name is Charlene. โ
"It's like a girl's name, but the fact that you can see a demon shows that Rasmos didn't let me meet you by accident. And battles and wars are not a very handsome thing, it should be said that they are the most terrible. Don't expect anything, just go home, and when nothing happened today, I'm leaving. โ
"Don't!!" Looking at Charlene who was shouting willfully, Zach shrugged his shoulders, he looked at Charlene with a "what do you mean" eyes, not afraid of the power of the eyes of the big brother's age in front of him, Charlene was almost staring. "I want to keep fighting with you."
"It can't be!" Hardly give it a chance, Zach said.
"You're not one of us, are you? So, if you want to do something here, don't you think you need a base or something? At least a guide like me. โ
"I'm sorry, Charlene, but the necromancer is home, and I won't stick to a warm bunk. And I'm figuring out the terrain as I walk down the alley, I don't need you, you get out of here and don't come out at night, especially lately. โ
"Don't!" Again, "Well, uh, well, do you know why that one attacked me?" I don't think it's like I'm passing by by accident, but it's very likely, you see, you yourself said that I can see demons, which means that I'm different, maybe I... may be the focus of a thing, if I am let go like this, in case I am attacked again..."
"I'll keep an eye on you, right." Zach took out a bracelet from his canvas pocket, "Although the boy is not very good, you can take it with you, and I will know the state of your side as soon as possible." Well, goodbye. โ
"Don't!" Charlene was already wearing the bracelet as she said this, but she still grabbed Zach and wouldn't let him leave. "I mean, do you really have a place to stay? I don't have anyone in my house, so I don't know if it's going to be the same as this alley, so in case..."
Zach looked at him and shook his head, but he only had to make a choice, who made him meet this guy today?
