Chapter 497: I've Never Heard Such a Strange Request
Qiu Xuan remembers what happened when she was a child.
But this is only a part, after all, not everyone can clearly and meticulously recall every detail of their upbringing.
Like now, the scene in front of her felt somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere - it was a very common phenomenon, known in psychology as the hippocampal effect, and there were a series of professional explanations.
Qiu Xuan told herself this intellectually, but she always felt that it was not the same thing.
"You are all at the end of the crossbow...... Zhao Yigui sighed lightly, he hung his head and looked at the people in the Central Church, and there seemed to be some pity in his tone. What can your God do for you? ”
"That's your god, too, Heckel!" One of the guards shouted against the hunters gathered around him: "The one who has truly betrayed the faith is not Asaphil, it is you!" ”
Bang.
Zhao Yigui didn't even make any instructions, a steaming bullet hole was nailed to the guard's forehead, accompanied by a bloody hole, and he stared wide and fell straight back. Standing in front of him was a white-robed nurse with a firearm, the nurse tilted her head, and Qiu Xuan saw the familiar face.
"Teacher ......"
The nurse groaned, her face visible with obsessive madness. She took two steps forward, and with a kind of cautious awe and restraint, she held the firearm flat in both hands and handed it to Zhao Yigui's eyes.
"Good boy." Zhao Yigui smiled, his knuckles hung down and he picked up the gun carved with crosses and roses, rubbed it lightly for a while, and suddenly loaded it and lifted it in one direction.
A large, lanky Wendigo suddenly emerged from the crowd, grabbed the nurse's back collar from the sharp teeth, and shook the nurse a few meters away in a posture. Then the forelimbs were half-crouched on the ground and the serrated teeth were spread, and a threatening hissing roar rolled out of the throat.
Zhao Yigui was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head. Qiu Xuan's eyebrows jumped, and she didn't even have time to think about it, and threw out the birdcage necklace with her wrist loose.
"Xiaolu is back!!"
The white light flashed, and the shot did not fall on his body after all, and before Qiu Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Zhao Yigui laughing and raising the firearm in his hand, and the characteristic light bullet was fired, but the target was aimed at the location behind the place where Xiaolu disappeared.
There was Chiara.
No one has time to stop it when it happens, and for a significant number of people, they don't have to stop it at all.
A bloody hole almost identical to the one on the forehead of the fallen guard appeared in front of Chiara, the Holy Maiden of the Central Church, who had been trying to reach her Glock 18 for a second to resist, but she didn't even snort and fell to the ground with wide eyes.
An elder of the church cabinet scolded after being stunned at first, and she suddenly wanted to rush to Zhao Yigui like crazy, and kept saying: "You didn't say that as long as I voted for Asaphir, you would let her go!" You said it, Heckel!! You told me in person, and you promised me!! ”
Zhao Yigui still had the helpless expression of "I'm just talking and I don't necessarily believe it yourself, so what can I do", he clapped his hands briefly, and several hunters immediately appeared next to him and dragged the elder out.
"We're back on track."
As if all the people who got in the way were finally solved, Zhao Yigui smiled with his collar on his face. In the pile of people behind him, Long San stiffened and made an expression to Qiu Xuan's position, meaning why Qiara died This trial is still not over.
I don't know if I saw it or not, Qiu Xuan didn't respond.
The rest of the executioners were anxious, and each began to remember what went wrong.
Standing in the corner of the crowd like a shadow cast by a tall building, the Chainsaw Man watched the farce with a cold eye and paused when he saw Kiara's dead body in his long narrow eyes.
He licked the jagged teeth with the tip of his tongue, and suddenly silently raised his hand and took off the restraint mask on his face.
“……”
"You will not be able to ascend to the Holy Church, but you will be born again with a medal of glory for a permanent period, my child."
Just as the stiff atmosphere in the hall had been maintained for quite some time, suddenly everyone heard voices coming from far away from the depths of the crowd. The crowd searched for the sound in amazement, only to realize to their horror that the source of the sound was actually from the mouth of a corpse on the ground.
The corpse slowly got up from the ground, and there was a bloody hole on its forehead, which made the scene look a little cautious at this moment.
"Also, didn't anyone remind them that the steps of the ritual were wrong? How many times have I said that I prayed first and then bleed, and the symbolic totem was also drawn incorrectly! How did the circle become square? So full of loopholes, I want to summon something down, and I really obeyed it. They have already become cabinet elders, and they are not vigilant in their actions. ”
“……”
Qiu Xuan stared at the man in the center of the auditorium who was chattering with a bloody hole above his head. There was a dead silence in the crowd, even the sound of breathing was faint, and at this moment, there was another voice in her head.
It's a chaotic, weird accent that doesn't belong to any language system, mixed with strange snake chirps and insect sounds, and it sounds terrible, like the sound of some alien.
The voice said, "Where did your summoning steps come from, ah, little thing?" It's as simple as that, and you can get it wrong in a few steps? Can you put a little less blood in it, just a drop of blood trying to summon something, ah? Don't learn from others in the future when you stingy ghost summons, tsk tsk. ”
Qiu Xuan: "......"
She pressed her braincase and followed the voice to recall the past, only to find that her mind was empty, and there was no other impression except this one. Shaking his head, he barely withdrew his thoughts from this paragraph, and saw Qiara raise her forehead with a bloody hole, and glanced in the direction of Zhao Yigui with a gloomy gaze.
"How dare you come here, old brute......"
The saintess completely changed her tone, "Well, if I were you, I would regret that I didn't kill me directly in the first place, giving me a chance to escape and rule the world...... But it's useless for you to regret it now, death, this is the first time I've been forced to this extent, you have to pay for what you did. ”
Qiu Xuan narrowed her eyes.
"Are they calling you?" Zhao Yigui suddenly frowned, and his face looked a little unpleasant. "How is it possible, they should be trying to summon the ridiculous god of light - but who knew that the god of light had fallen in that border war a hundred years ago? It's ridiculous that the people of this continent still believe in a non-existent original god, and they still believe that a fallen godhead can give them shelter. ”
Several people in the Central Church looked stunned, as if they could not understand the meaning of his words.
"I don't care where the original god of this world has gone, death. In short, the fact now is that the object of the ritual is indeed me. Chiara picked up Glock 18 from the ground at a slow pace, "Since the people of this world have done me a great favor so that I can take advantage of the situation, wouldn't it be a gesture for me to help them too?" ”
"And don't forget, this is my world!"
Her voice fell, and the gun in her hand suddenly pulled the trigger.
While it still appears to be an ordinary human firearm in a small world, this gun is now in the hands of the Glory of the Dominator. Zhao Yigui's pupils constricted for a while, Rao is he didn't dare to face the wrath of a supreme ruler in the home field of other rulers at this moment.
His eyes were lowered and he looked down, and he immediately took the opportunity to flex and stretch to the extreme.
He raised his palm and waved it towards Kiara's position, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then let's see you in the Ten Thousand Worlds." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Yigui's entire figure faded away little by little, as if someone had wiped out the traces of existence with some kind of eraser. Chiara sneered, and the Glock in her hand hit one after another, even if she knew that it would not cause any real harm to her, it always had the effect of venting her anger.
"See you in the reincarnation of all worlds, grandson." Glory said, "I'm going to pay you back twice as much as what you've done to me. ”
"Then don't let him go."
Qiu Xuan stood next to him and suddenly said this coldly. Qiara's attention was instantly attracted, and after a moment of reaction, she remembered who Qiu Xuan was, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Death is with me, and I can't keep him." Kiara seemed to mean something, "But I've heard those old guys talk about you, you're from the dark side, aren't you?" ”
Qiu Xuan didn't answer this, flipped over his palm, and a purple-black firework suddenly ignited on it.
"Arrogance is a common problem of dominators." "But arrogance can kill you sometimes. ”
Kiara frowned sharply.
"Nightmare!"
Zhao Yigui embraced nothingness, and just as his figure faded little by little, suddenly, a cloud of pure black mist suddenly ignited from his body. The mist poured out from all over his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, making his whole person look like a boiling hot water kettle.
Zhao Yigui suddenly realized something and sped up his departure, but it was too late, the nightmare had already taken root and ambushed in the depths of this body as early as the beginning.
He thought that he was very high, and that kind of "garbage" ability could not hurt himself at all, but he didn't expect that the person who was now controlling this ability was not Qiu Xuan, but its original owner. And Zhao Yigui personally hit this kind of disaster into his body, just because of the arrogance of the high.
Nightmare's deep voice came from all directions, and although he couldn't leave Qiu Xuan's space to descend into the small world for the time being, the connection that Qiu Xuan had been constantly transmitting through the power of nightmares was enough to erode most of this body.
"Cub, I didn't expect it!"
In the depths of the hall, which was gradually shrouded in a fog of nightmares, the nightmare laughed loudly. "How does it feel to be trapped by a dog? You deserve to be by someone else, I'll tell you! ”
Zhao Yigui's whole person has gradually been shrouded in purple and black mist, and he rolled out of his throat and groaned, as if he was in extreme pain. After hearing this, although others could no longer distinguish the emotions in it, they could still clearly feel the creepy anger in their tone.
"Good, good, nightmare ......"
"I remember you."
"Someone used to say that." Qiu Xuan hugged his arms beside him, and he caught a glimpse of a figure trying to shake the wheelchair and lean over, in order to prevent the remaining two dominators present from finding out the clues, he pretended not to see it. just raised the short knife, and stabbed Zhao Yigui dozens of times with the undead death qi and the Elpis virus like a stone.
When she finished, she pulled out a cross with her backhand, which was stained with some dried blood.
Kiraya sensed the aura of her own kind and glanced at the bloodstain a few times, but since there was a nightmare present, no one would have thought that the blood was actually left over from the previous darkness.
"What are you going to do?" Qiu Xuan raised the blood-stained cross, and smiled very leisurely at Zhao Yigui, who was devoured by various natural disaster abilities, "It's all here, can't you bring some specialties and go back?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yigui calmed down. His whole person was wrapped in a nightmare in the center of the fog, and every time he spoke, he sprayed black mist as if he was leaking, but he was still in the mood to smile there.
"You're trying to kill me again." He said, "Well, I'll give you this chance, you come." ”
"I'm already familiar with the process." Zhao Yigui no longer even had the struggling movements of his body, "Come on, kill me." ”
Qiu Xuan rolled her eyes, and without further attempt, the tip of the cross under her hand, stained with the blood of the Dominator, stabbed directly into her chest. "I've never heard such a strange request."
"Qiu Xuan!"
A small cloud of mist emerged from Zhao Yigui's body, which continued to ooze smoke, turning into an entity and blocking in front of the chest that was about to be pierced. Nightmare opened a small window to chat with her in the plague space, and her tone sounded a little urgent.
"Don't do it yet, something is wrong!"
Qiu Xuan stopped in time, but the tip of the cross still poked down a little because of inertia, but fortunately, it was blocked by the mist wrapped above Zhao Yigui's chest, and the top was not completely sent down.
Death raised his eyes in the mist, and his gray pupils were still bubbling out with ominous black gas, making the whole person look very strange.
"Since you want to keep me, let's stay together."
Zhao Yigui smiled, his whole body suddenly changed from a gradually virtual form to a substance, and in the next second, an indescribable sense of urgency in his heart came, and even his mind began to be in a trance. For a moment it looked like ...... It was as if the true body of the Dominator had descended.
"What the hell do you want to do?!" Kiara was incredulous, "Crazy? It's still my home turf! ”
Qiu Xuan's pupils constricted, and he didn't think that his subordinates ignored the nightmare's obstruction, and stabbed the cross above his heart.
