Section 39: Emergencies

"How they run!"

The humanoid figure standing in the shadows stared at his subordinates kneeling in the light.

The invaders who had been sent to the door at night were obviously living sacrifices, originally a trap designed for those apprentices, and seeing the prey delivered to the door, the humanoids who had already won the victory did not let the summoned xenos outflank them at the first time - commanding them also required psionic energy.

Then I saw the flesh in my mouth suddenly fly - the little ones in the team noticed the problem, and then turned around very gorgeously, and they began to run away.

At this time, it was already too late to start the pursuit and outflanking, as the commander here, the humanoid was very angry in his heart, because he couldn't understand that this trap had targeted apprentices from the beginning, and it was impossible for any strong opponent to appear, what was going on with that little ghost?!

He found out before he got closer?!

Is it the detective of the Investigator Sequence Seven, or the clue seeker of the Investigator Sequence Six? Or the tech hunter of Explorer Sequence Tier Five.

Obviously he looks like such a young child, but why is the gun accurate, the spells used well, and the list of psionic energy pools and spells that can be so broad?!

The stinky imps in the city are too much! Can you do whatever you want if you have money?!

"Let's go! Go investigate that kid! I'd like to see who the guy who dares to do my good deeds is! I'm going to skin him alive! At this, the humanoid suddenly fell silent for a moment - as he heard applause.

With the applause, the entire underground hall began to shine in continuously, illuminating the kneeling subordinates, illuminating the humanoid body, and even illuminating the smoky humanoid at the entrance.

"You're really annoying." In his eyes, the smoky figure seemed to sigh, and seemed to be very unpleasant: "Didn't I kill all your companions in the sewers last time, didn't I give you a wake-up call?" ”

"Who are you?" The humanoid scolded in annoyance.

"Anyway, it's not a righteous companion, but I also hate guys like you very much, so can I die a good death."

"It's you who died!" The bald-headed human roared and drew his short sword at his waist: "Kill him for me!" ”

"Looks like you still haven't figured it out." After speaking, the smoke figure pulled out the revolver on his waist: "It seems that we should speak with facts and reason." ”

………………

Marin woke up early in the morning, and on the third day of the harvest festival, all churches began to have a holiday—from the third day to the seventh day, there would be four days off.

So, there's no upperclassman's hapless eggs to hang the hammer – because they're on vacation; There are no tutors who can learn the techniques - because the instructors say that they can't chew too much, and the path of the techniques still needs to rely on accumulation; And Faye finally went back to her house last night, so when she got up today, Marin could only pet her sister.

Fortunately, Faye helped yesterday, and through her help, Maya quickly accepted the matter.

"Brother, where are we going today?"

"We're probably going to help out in the square."

The harvest festival is the most important festival of the year in the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, because it represents the harvest, and whether the farmers can eat or drink the northwest wind depends on the harvest of the year.

As the most popular church among farmers and manor owners, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest is always the most popular in the autumn, and as a reciprocal return, the Church of the Earth Goddess will also hold a free clinic in the square during the week of the harvest.

It's really a very busy week, Marin was also arranged by old Ferrero to see an errand - to see the other party, let him get out of the way if he has nothing to do, let him line up if he has something, if there is a few who need to rush to burn, then it is not Marlin's turn to take care of it, this kind of unlucky guy who doesn't even have a chance to rescue, the church guards will make a decision. And it is said that such unlucky eggs cannot be met once a year, because most of the unlucky eggs will have accidents before they survive the free clinic week.

Because Marin was going to help before, he was scheduled to start work on the third day.

Today is the first day of work.

So before going to work in the square, Marin needed to find Faye, who the girl said would come to him in the morning.

At least she can arrange for her sister to take care of, and if they don't want to come to the square, Marin will be happy, and if they want to come to the square, it's not impossible—at least Marin and the girls can go and see the fun when some of the unlucky ones are dragged away.

After all, in Marin's memory, the last time he knew that there was a show of roasting people in this world was on May 30, 1431 AD, starring the waste Frenchman and Marin's most hated Englishman.

………………

Maya has been very happy lately because she is cheerful by nature, and her peers in the church can make friends with her, and today her little sister Faye has brought the little lamb named Lilim Toth to play with him.

Although my brother is going to the square for a free clinic, they can also go with them.

Maya likes her brother the most.

Although my brother has not yet chosen to become a believer in the Harvest Goddess Church, Maya always feels that there is nothing to become a believer, after all, the core of the Harvest Goddess Church's doctrine is cultivation and harvest, and it is the most peaceful church in the entire continent.

Really, there are more than a dozen professionals in Fort Carter's largest gang, the 'Belly Snake', who are usually not afraid of the sky, and even the area under the jurisdiction of the gang does not need to be taken out by demon hunters if there are some surreal troubles, but when they see Brother Marin and Maya, these big guys will draw a holy emblem of the earth goddess on their chests anyway, and then some high-ranking people will also take out candy from their bags.

Brother Marin naturally wouldn't let these men who didn't have much money to spare spend money for him - although he was considered a poor kid in the realm of supernatural professionals, he was already a rich man in front of these big guys, but Maya would still accept the candy and then distribute it to the children of poor families.

Learn to share, and life will always be sweeter.

And Maya also learned later that the 'Belly Snake' Gang also had a time when they were in big trouble, and no one thought of helping them at all, but it was Brother Marin's mentor who took the two senior brothers to solve the spirit spirit, so the Belly Snake Gang was more respectful to the members of the Earth Goddess Church, and acted more gently than before.

At least there will not be other gangs that force other people to sell their children and daughters at every turn.

Because of this, in recent years, the Vipers have grown stronger and stronger as they continue to launder themselves - many young people in the villages near Fort Carter are moving into the city in search of work, and in order to protect themselves, they usually join the gang with the help of their fellow villagers, and the Snake Gang is clearly more popular.

After all, it is the only Aboriginal gang in the region that uses the banner of mutual aid, and it is also true.

At each harvest festival, the Snake Gang sends a number of young people to assist the Church of the Earth Goddess - usually those young people from the countryside, who are farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky before entering the city, and have a natural affection for the Earth Goddess.

As a reciprocal repayment, the Earth Goddess Church will also carry out free clinics in the square within a week of the harvest.

Brother Marin was there to receive the patients, Maya and Faye, and Lilim were sitting in the rest area not far away, and the three girls were preparing everyone's lunch with the seniors, and from time to time they would see some people being chased away by Brother Marin.

"At that time, it didn't seem to be sick at all, but I still have to come over, is it a waste of time?" Lilim asked, tilting her head.

"I think I'm asking for a reassurance." Miss Faye always has a point.

Maya thought as she slapped Marin's brother's favorite slice of barbecue with her knife.

Then she noticed a big fat man walking up to her brother.

………………

"I see you're in good health, what's wrong?" The new patient sat in front of Marin, and he didn't need to turn on his vision, and Marin felt that this guy was okay - his face was ruddy, his heart was wide, and he was fat, without all the calluses and scars of peasants, and he didn't look like a peasant, but more like those rich people in the center of the city.

However, considering that the free clinic does not distinguish between identities, Marin still patiently asked him.

"I've been having nightmares lately." The fat man has the tone of Sidney and the Yankees - a loud voice.

This makes Marin even more confused, since you have a nightmare, you have to have a nightmare appearance, others are riddled with nightmares and look like a pitiful appearance of neurasthenia, then you are so angry.

So, out of professional ethics, Marin opened his vision - this requires psionic energy, with Marin's current ability, he will not be a burden on himself if he opens ten seconds a minute - using it is the same as useless.

Then with just one glance, Marin was stupid - the fat man in front of him was purple like an eggplant in the spiritual spectrum.

The standard chaos purple.

Marin turned his head and beckoned to the church guards.

Noticing the distortion on Marin's face, the guards who had only come from the past poured out this time, and the eight guards were half surrounded and walked around.

"What's wrong with me?" The fat man also noticed the problem - with the folk customs of Fort Carter, what you look at and what you look at has always been a simple part, which shows that something is going to happen, the fat man glared at Marin: "What do you little rabbit want to do, I am the mayor's brother-in-law!" ”

"I'm sorry, this is my apprentice." Behind him came the voice of Mentor Hoffman.

The appearance of this man made the fat man somewhat restrained - the existence of the church mentor level was not something he could denigrate, but he still asked this question out of consideration for his own life: "What do you want to do?" ”

"We also want to ask you why you're tainted by Chaos." After Tutor Hoffman finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, the church guards circled around the fat man's sides, and two of them supported the fat man's arms and shoulders on the left and right, and fixed him to the chair.

"No way, Fort Carter hasn't been seen at all lately!" The fat man looked at the old man with anger on his face: "I don't know what you're asking!" How could I be Chaos! ”

The fat man's words were very fierce, and he struggled to break free from the shackles of the guards.

Marin took three steps back—the fat man had begun to transform into a living man, horns were beginning to grow on his forehead, teeth were beginning to grow like beasts, and the whole man was striding down the path of dehumanization.

Old Hoffman sighed, pulled his revolver from Marin's waist, and put it on fire to the fat man's head.

The fat man, who had lost his life, collapsed in the square, and Marin's mentor handed the revolver back to Marin: "I can feel that you are afraid. ”

"Yes." Marlin told the truth - it's all false to say that you are not afraid, you have been a xenomorph from the beginning Marin is certainly not afraid, but this is a big change in front of the living...... Marin was still a little scared.

At this time, Mentor Hoffman reached out and patted Marin's head.

"Do not be afraid, fear is the poison of the heart."

It seems to be persuasion, and it seems to be comforting.
