Chapter 217: The Woman Who Lives in the Lines
"Welcome to my lord!"
"We are willing to offer our supreme loyalty to our Lord!"
Under this apocalyptic black fog and unknown horror, the deck was on its knees. With fanatical and morbid expressions on their faces, the people chanted the worship of the Entanglement God.
"These guys are crazy." Jiao Guancheng shook his head secretly, and raised his fists in an offensive posture. "Although the Leviathan will end when it comes to the world, we don't know when the teleportation array at the end of the trial will be opened, and everyone is ready to protect themselves."
At some point, the billowing fog had spread towards the Fool's ship, and the ominous black fog had cast a shadow over everyone's vision, even between teammates who were very close.
"Ahh
I don't know where it came from the thick fog, suddenly there was a man-made cry of pain, and all the executioners who still had the strength to fight were stunned, and raised their vigilance to the highest level. The next second, the man wearing a fist buckle heard a gunshot from beside him, and he subconsciously threw a punch at the danger on his side, and saw that the layers of tentacles that rushed to the deck at some point wrapped around his arm.
Here it comes!
Jiao Guancheng's sharp blade swung to cut off the tentacle that was tied to his arm, and took advantage of the gap between the broken section of the tentacle to regrow in a few seconds, and his body quickly retreated to avoid the attack at the other end. This retreat allowed him to see several sailors kneeling on the deck, who were still chanting to the evil gods with the back of their hands against their foreheads, even though they were themselves under the obvious and extreme threat.
Soon, one of them was swept up by the tentacles stretched out from the depths, and disappeared into the depths of the mist in less than a breath. Recognizing one of them as a sailor who had pointed him in the direction of the ship, Jiao Guancheng was so kind that he kicked him without being threatened, so that he could flee for his life quickly. Then the man glared at him, and then he knelt on his knees and sang praises.
Is...... He didn't want to pay attention to those fools anymore, shook his head and tore at the tentacles that were even more elusive under the cover of the fog, while remembering the special tentacle that Qiu Xuan had found when he jumped into the sea on the occasion before.
Although I don't know where the tentacle is, it is very effective compared to the current situation, and if it can be found, it will not be a problem to live before the door of trial is opened.
"Sailors on the ship of the Fool, activate the first level of combat deployment, repeat, start the first level of combat deployment. Here it is...... Captain's order. ”
Suddenly, just as everyone was more or less obscured by the fog, a deep voice rang out from the announcements from all over the ship. "Crew, raise the flag, lower the deck, light the torches in your hands, and we will fight the evil cult to the end!"
"That's the captain's voice." "What ......" "How could it be ......"
The people who fell to their knees began to talk, and the radio continued to repeat the words of command like a beacon in the sea. Immediately afterward, at the elevated platform around the perimeter of the mast, a flash of fire rose first, illuminating the ship, which was partially obscured by the fog.
I saw a group of people holding torches standing on the high platform, and standing in the front row of the crowd was Austin, the captain of the Ship of Fools!
The man who couldn't tell his age bent over and coughed a few times, waved his hand in the concern of Arthur beside him, and said in a loud voice again.
"My children, the people of the Ship of Fools, you have all been deceived! It wasn't a god at all, but an evil cult born from the deepest depths of the sea! ”
"It is because we have discovered the truth of the false God's disguise that He wants to kill us all today! cough cough cough ...... But even if we can't resist the coercion of the evil gods with our physical mortals, we can't die like cowards! At the last sentence, the man almost roared in a hoarse voice, and after saying that, he coughed uncontrollably and violently, and the eyes of the falcon were about to break through the thick fog until the pirate captain Luther was gone!
Luther's drooping palms were clenched, and his eyelids were half-closed, and his expression was obscure.
"Brothers! Raise the battle flag and light the torches! It is bound to fight against evil cults to the end until the last drop of blood is drained! Arthur roared and raised the hilt of his sword, turning and slashing the straps of the banner tied to the mast.
On the other side, the sailors who were still kneeling on the deck looked at each other, and suddenly a muscular man stood up and patted his companion on the shoulder. "Why, we have ridden the wind and waves with the captain for so many years, and what kind of predicament on the verge of death has not survived together! Lao Tzu has actually been dissatisfied with the sea god for a long time, and now of course he wants to live and die with the captain! Why, my brothers, would you rather believe in an ethereal false god than trust our captain! ”
“…… I also believe in the captain! ”
"Me too!"
One after another, the sailors rose from the deck and raised their torches and weapons towards the fog that they had dared not look at directly. "I am bound to fight the evil cult to the end!"
"Raise the battle flag! Light the torches! ”
"Don't die like a coward!"
They roared, raising their weapons and tangling them with the flames and the tentacles that covered the sky. Although the strength is not as strong as the strengthened executioners, they are superior to the large number of people, and they also share some of the pressure of the battle situation for a while.
"Austen! After all these years, you're still obsessed! Suddenly, Luther stood up as well, and for the first time his blue eyes finally met the man who was also fighting with his sword. The only way to truly be free from suffering is to believe in our Lord, not to do something rebellious here! If you want to die yourself, do you still want to drag this broken ship to die together! ”
"I told you a long time ago that Luther cough cough," the captain slashed the tentacles in front of him with a pull of his sword, and coughed a few times. "Freedom is earned by oneself, even if the freedom thus obtained is ignorant. After all these years, I tell you now, my answer has not changed. ”
"Stupid!"
The bowl's large tentacles swept across the erected masts, pulling them up and down with little effort. The people gathered below changed their positions one after another to hide, but they were cut off by the strange things that had already been lying in ambush.
Once again, Yavette held the greatsword to block the imminent attack, but was powerless against the tentacles that were constantly pouring in all around.
The young knight's eyes were red, and she was about to cut a few more before she was torn apart by the corpse of the five horses, when she saw a burly figure tear the tentacles that were coming at her with her bare hands.
It was an extremely strange and terrifying-looking woman, her body like a hill rose and fell slightly, panting, and she turned around and looked at her with jagged yellow teeth.
"I heard...... The woman named Afu, dead? ”
Yavette narrowed her eyes and said vigilantly, "You know her?" ”
"Hehehehe......" The woman didn't answer the question, laughed sharply twice, turned around and continued to wrestle with the tentacles with terrifying strength. It's a shame, it's a pity ......."
"I didn't kill her with my own hands."
Avet watched in silence as the burly figure was hidden in the mist, and heard the executioner's frightened and surprised "Rollo?" He shook his head, raised his sword again, and fought in the flames.
In the miserable scene of mist and unknown, no one saw a woman in a black robe walking barefoot through this purgatory, and the tentacles and fog waving around her seemed to be unable to touch her shadow at all.
Hidden by a wide hood, a fighting sailor caught a glimpse of a pair of wrinkled old eyes, and in the depths of his pupils, a light intertwined with gold and red.
Where is it? Where the hell did it go?
Bai Hexi gritted his teeth and repelled the tentacles chasing him behind him, feeling that his physical and mental strength were rapidly declining at an unpleasant speed. Even he was already physically exhausted, and the condition of the executioners or sailors outside was self-evident.
He poured another mouthful of potion into his mouth, and as he continued to look for people in the confusion, he cursed in his heart a few words about the dead guy who was not resting at peace.
"Found you!"
Finally, in a corner of the Chaos Deck, he saw the man shrouded in mist. Bai Hexi ran quickly, and was stunned for a second when he saw the man's expressionless face and even a little lost his soul.
"Hey, Evey? It's called this name, do you know this, it was Afu who called me. He shook his fingers in front of the man, and when he saw that his pupils were not half focused, he took out a short knife from the accompanying space.
If Zhao Yigui was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this was the knife that had not been found on the corpse for a long time, but now it was in Bai Hexi's hands.
He's not in the right shape. Bai Hexi dragged the expressionless man under a canopy, barely exposing himself to the outside gaze. The man didn't struggle the whole time, it looked like he was ...... It's just a shell without a soul.
But it's not a matter of thinking about these things now, if you want to really end this world, the key has to lie with him.
Thinking of the words that Qiu Xuan had asked him to bring before he died, Bai Hexi sighed and aimed the short knife out of its sheath at the position above the man's chest. "I'm sorry brother."
With the force of his hands, he carved a long, deep cross-shaped scratch into his skin.
The special flame that had been rekindled burned and placed in front of the man's eyes, and a steady stream of blood dripped into the flames, emitting a familiar billowing smoke. Fortunately, the fog alone is conspicuous enough now that the smoke is less noticeable.
"Hurry up, hurry up ......"
Bai Hexi took a few steps back and stared at the brazier, muttering to himself.
Blood was dripping down, and the man's gaze was always out of focus and scattered, and he didn't know where he was looking. Just as the screams outside became more and more intense, when Bai Hexi couldn't help but think that the man's guess was wrong, suddenly, the raging fire burning in front of him was extinguished.
Bai Hexi took two steps back sharply, drew his personal weapon and vigilantly stared at the situation under the canopy.
Little by little, the man named Evie raised his head.
"Give me the knife."
He suddenly spoke, and the inexplicable emotion in his tone made Bai Hexi, a veteran who has been trained for a long time, can't help but palpitate. After thinking about it, he still reached out and handed him the knife, the man held the short knife and exhaled heavily.
Suddenly, the extinguished brazier in front of him suddenly rekindled without human action, and the flames burst into flames until they completely ignited the tattered canopy. Bai Hexi swallowed his saliva and took a few steps back.
The seated man closed his eyes and raised his hand to place his heart above his left chest. Suddenly, while the unheterized cross-shaped wound was still dripping into the flames, something beat from beneath the muscles, in the beating heart, and broke through the flesh to emit a strange dark green glow!
In an instant, the flames that ignited in front of the man broke through the canopy and rose to the position of the Qiping battle flag. And under the broken flesh, the dark green still continued to seep out of the cross, and even the tentacles that broke through the barriers around them retreated a little.
Bai Hexi stared at this scene, and suddenly remembered the words that the woman who majored in assistance brought to her after she got on the boat.
"She asked me to tell you: the man who came on board was, Evie. But first follow Zhao Yigui and Lao Liang's plan, and if they want to kill Ye Qing, push Chen Pi out. ”
At that time, seeing that Chen Pi's method of releasing his soul was successful, he originally thought that Qiu Xuan had made a mistake, but now he realized that Chen Pi summoned no god at all.
That's what the captain called "evil worship", and the real god......
Bai Hexi completely retreated to a safe place, looking at the fire that could no longer be concealed, and suddenly sighed deeply.
The man's flesh and bones burned out layer by layer from the cross-shaped chasm, and the endless treacherous dark green burned with the fire, until it seemed as if even the infinite fog was about to burn away. The flames forced back the tentacles that had sprung up one after another, and even the sea water could not extinguish them, and then from the monstrous flames, a new self was born.
It was a thick darkness that could not be exhausted by the naked eye, and the sea god opened all his eyes from the monstrous fire that had ignited on the sea. Countless dark green tentacles formed his body, and beneath the bulging and sinuous arthropod skin, a pair of red eyes all opened, turning in their sockets at a high speed. The suction cups on the wrists and feet are hollowed out, hanging in the air without falling, and the layers of mucous membranes and mouthparts are wrapped in the dark green inner membrane, straight into the endless deep sea, and below the bottom is the deep panorama that cannot be peeped into.
At this moment, even the sailors who kept saying, "You have been deceived, the legendary god is an evil worship", fell to the ground uncontrollably, and hung their heads and did not dare to look directly at the body of the legendary god.
Evey, Envy...... I see, she had already guessed it. Bai Hexi took a deep breath and also half-squatted and half-knelt on the deck with his knees.
A monster born from the endless depths of the sea, the source of jealousy, the lord of the sea, the entangled serpent, the Leviathan.
The true gods have come into the world.
