Chapter Twenty-Five: The Bell of the Choir
The outskirts of Ahagul are not far from the cathedral, but this area is extremely desolate, often with rabid dogs and wild beasts hiding in the dark, even hunters rarely set foot here, and the kidnappers of Ahagul have their own secret passages, but they are not suitable for outsiders to set foot in, and if they encounter those kidnappers called hunters, they will undoubtedly be chosen as the next target.
Although he did not carry the torch common to hunters, fortunately, Huang Yu carried a lantern with him, lit the oil lamp with the flint he carried, and then hung the lantern on his waist, and the good fire prevention settings ensured that the fire would not be extinguished under non-strenuous exercise, and the shadows would be shaken rhythmically with his footsteps.
As time passed, the cathedral was in the distance, and in the distance you could see the shadows of the buildings, like giant beasts shaking in the dark, which most aroused fear in the hearts of humans.
Huang Yu extinguished the lantern and began to hurry by the moonlight in the sky, although the light is convenient, it is easy to attract the snooping in the dark, it is not far from Chapel Hill, although it is inconvenient to rely on the moonlight, but it is much safer.
Fear continued to grow in his heart, Huang Yu knew that this was not good for him, but there was nothing he could do, after all, he was only a novice hunter who had been training for less than a month, not talking about combat skills and experience, just adapting to the darkness was inferior to those hunters who had been hunting in the alleys of the city for many years.
He tried to hum a few of his favorite songs, but in the silence of the wilderness, even the sound of the wind seemed to stagnate, which made it even more terrifying, so he had to stop.
I don't know what Alice is doing in the space. He shook his head, suddenly remembering the robot girl teammate, but then he laughed, the time that personal tasks took up in space was only a moment, what could teammates do in such a short time.
A cold wind blew, and a layer of goosebumps rose on the skin of the agitated yellow feather, not because of the cold, but because of the smell of blood in the wind, and the sound of battle that drifted with the wind.
Pulling out his pistol and clenching his cane, he lowered his figure slightly, accelerated his speed and rushed forward, as soon as he found that there was a battle and murderous intentions, the original fear was a little weaker, and the loneliness was not something that ordinary people could bear, but it was a dangerous stimulus that could increase adrenaline secretion and add a little bit of fire.
The rapidly swinging weapon reflects the cold light of the Dao in the moonlight, and it is difficult to see the appearance of the weapon, but it can make people be shocked by the speed of the wielder and the sharpness of the weapon because of the afterimage, and the hunter in the feather coat under the moonlight wears a mask like a bird's beak, like a huge strange bird waving its claws to attack the enemy.
The attacked side was only wearing ordinary hunter clothes, his eyes were scarlet in the dark, and he held a huge stone hammer in his hand to attack more and defend less, but every time he swung the hammer to attack, it was bound to be a thunderous blow that shook the earth and shook the mountains.
Huang Yu, who joined the battlefield, did not hesitate at all, the attack of the feather hunter was obviously fast and slow, although it was inconvenient for him to join directly, but he raised his hand and shot at the red-eyed hunter, interrupting the action he originally planned to fight back, the feather hunter stepped forward without hesitation to mend the knife, and the cold light in the air under the moonlight splashed blood, even the hunter who was so crazy that he lost himself couldn't help but snort.
Sonor!
The red-eyed hunter was stabbed, but he simply dropped the stone hammer and pulled out a long sword from the handle, and three sword lights suddenly shot out, forcing the feathered hunter to retreat sharply, missing the opportunity to pursue the victory.
It was surprising that the hunter who used the heavy stone hammer had increased his combat power after switching to a straight sword, and after he forced the feathered hunter to retreat, he pulled out a horn gun with a thick barrel out of nowhere, and with a pull of the trigger, a puff of silver mist in the firelight rushed straight at the feathered hunter, even if she used the feather cloak on her body to block the bullet, Huang Yu also heard a muffled snort from the huntress.
The reckless insertion of the third party caused both the two who were originally fighting to lose, but Huang Yu was already prepared when he intervened, at this time, the mechanism in his hand twisted, and he shook the handle with his backhand, and the weapon that had been transformed from the cane into a whip roared away with a terrible sound of breaking through the air, and slammed at the hunter who had no time to change his moves.
The blood splattered, and the hunter with the long whip wailed, but the despicable stranger did not stop, and with the remaining strength he made the long whip spin half a circle in mid-air, and threw it down again by inertia!
This time, the red-eyed hunter learned a lesson, and retreated sharply to avoid the attack range of the long whip, and the cold whip spikes swept in front of him with a cold light, but before he could catch his breath, the stranger had already pounced on him, pressed the mechanism in his hand, and the long whip that was still flying in the air had already returned to its position with a sonorous sound, and the shape of the cane was restored with a bang, and Huang Yu did not hesitate to turn his backhand to the right grip, and the cane slammed forward in advance.
"Hiccup......"
The tip of the cane pierced the red-eyed hunter's throat, and the fatal wound that passed through the throat made a strange sound in his mouth, but the stranger did not blink, and simply raised the pistol in one hand, and pulled the trigger on the red-eyed hunter's eyebrows.
With a thud, the hunter's corpse, which had dissipated with red light, fell to the ground.
Huang Yu turned around, and the huntress who was watching him vigilantly took a closer look, and made sure that he still had reason in his eyes before he put down his weapon, and the gasp in his mouth could be heard from afar, but he still supported his mouth: "Whew...... Although, I can deal with him too, but I still want to thank you, thank you......"
Huang Yu, who was wearing a top hat, was like an elegant gentleman, bowed his head slightly and introduced himself politely: "You can call me Charles, ma'am." ”
A laugh sounded from the mouth of the feathered hunter that seemed to have his breath interrupted: "Ha, ma'am...... It's a strange and old name, my name is Irene, you have a clean offensive move, and you wear a top hat, you seem to be one of those people...... Ahem, as for me, maybe you already know who I am. ”
Huang Yu nodded elegantly: "[Hunter], I think you are a hunter who belongs to [Hunter]. ”
"Ha, hunter hunter of hunters...... That's right," Erin replied gasping, her physical exertion and gunshot wounds, and it seemed that her recovery would be slow.
Huang Yu said with some kindness: "Your blood is running out?" I still have a spare lancer on me, so I can divide you with a bottle. ”
Erin shook her head: "I don't need to, I haven't touched blood for a long time...... As a thank you for helping me, I would like to suggest that you reduce your dependence on blood, preferably to quit ......"
Huang Yu's heart moved, and he shook his head in embarrassment: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have my difficulties, and my headache must be bloody...... That's it. ”
"Headache?" Erin's voice changed, and her feather coat became clear in the moonlight, as if it had been woven from the feathers of a crow, and there was an ominous ominous sign in the darkness.
Huang Yu looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said with some sadness: "Yes...... The headaches, which kept getting worse, made me suffer not only physically, but also often saw things that others couldn't...... I thought it was a hallucination, but it was mentally tormenting to me. ”
“…… Didn't you go to the doctor? Erin asked.
Huang Yu shook his head, looking helpless: "I went to the doctor, but the doctor had no choice, they suggested that I go to find the [Nun's Blood], but someone told me that [Nun's Blood] can't help me, I plan to go to the Cathedral to visit Amelia, the agent of Bishop Lawrence, maybe she can help." ”
"Ahem...... If Sister Amelia can't help you, you may be able to seek help from someone. Erin's wheezing had gradually subsided, and it seemed that there was a unique way to recover so quickly with her physical exertion.
"Who is it?"
"Carlisle, Rune Hunter Carlisle, she is a disciple of Master William and a genius, your headache ...... It may not be a disease, I can't explain it, but I think if Amelia can't help you, only Carlisle can help you. ”
Erin said as she handed over another bottle of yellow liquid: "This is refined blood, I can't use it, but if you have a bad headache...... Use it, and trust me, if it doesn't work for you, then Nun's Blood won't work for you either. ”
Huang Yu took it and said hello, like Erin thanking him: "I will, do you know where Carlisle is?" ”
"I don't know," Erin shook her head, bent over and straightened, "She's often running around to conduct her 'research,' so ask around in the church, maybe someone knows." ”
Huang Yu replied and said that it was okay to write it down, and the crow hunter dressed like a medieval doctor was fine, but it seemed that she didn't like to act with people, so she simply left to find a place to recuperate, after all, she still had the bullets left by the red-eyed hunter on her body.
Huang Yu was also about to leave, but as if he remembered something, he walked to the body of the red-eyed hunter, only to find that the hunter's body had disappeared, and there was only a milky white light and shadow in place.
He looked up at the moon in the sky and reached out to the white blob of light.
"Hmm-"
A cold power went down his fingers and along his arm into his brain, where the cold flow flowed, even the hot blood seemed to be frozen, and the spiritual power in the brain happily accepted this power, and the roots of the sun ladder in his body throbbed a little, but fortunately, there was no next move, so that he was originally frightened and calmed down.
Dizzy for a moment, a vague world seemed to appear in front of me, tall but ancient houses, delicate dolls, lush but mysterious trees, and old men in wheelchairs under the trees, with a vague face, who seemed to be very kind, and seemed to be sneering......
"Ahh He let out a low cry, his hand clenched into a fist, and the coldness of the tentacles woke him up in a hallucination, only to see that he was holding a bell in his hand that was very similar to the resonance clock, but the relief inscription on the bell was more than ten times more exquisite, and when it shook slightly, it seemed to wave a layer of hazy light mist like a light illusion, and the watch vibrated slightly, which also showed that it was extraordinary.
[The choir bell, a special tool only owned by the hunters of the choir, belongs to the secret props that can only be used by the upper echelons of the church, the sound of the bell cannot cross the realm, but it can heal those in need and rejuvenate them]
