As a result, I did deceive them, but I told myself that I could have taken the statue outside so they could see the starry night, and that they didn't survive, which was also unexpected, and all in all, it wasn't my fault, it was just a misunderstanding.

The Rangers shook a few times and regained their balance, their expressions still terrified, not yet able to shake off the shadow of the tragedy of those young girls.

I said, "Got it!" Evacuate! ”

Bella said, "Give me the statue!" ”

Before I could do that, there was a crisp sound on the ground, and the door to the secret room suddenly shut, it was an iron door, and it was not easy to open. Out of the hill of corpses emerges a man in the shape of a withered man, with short gray hair and a pointed and large nose in the middle of his face, who is the curator of the hallucinated museum.

His voice was like a dream: "You.... Hurt my children. ”

I saw the sharp canine teeth in his mouth, he was a fellow citizen of Bella, and he was also transformed into such a monster by the statue, and his experience was similar to that of Henry.

Bella flashed in front of him in an instant, and the palm of her hand was like a guillotine, cutting from the curator's right shoulder to the left abdomen, and the curator screamed in pain and retreated. Bella screamed and caught up with the curator with even more alarming speed, but she stepped into the pile of bones, unaware of the trap inside.

With a click, two traps bit into her flesh like fangs, and Bella screamed in pain and fell between the corpses.

I shouted, "Shoot!" Cover Bella! ”

Before I could tell me, they had already fired, and in an instant the bullets were raining, but the curator jumped and hid behind a cupboard, and the bullets turned the cupboard into a hornet's nest, but the curator was gone.

Forced scolded, his body swelled and half of it became a demon, and Fairhel said, "Be careful not to attract demons!" "It seems that there is a lot of risk involved.

I hurried up to check on Bella's injuries, she had already taken the trap apart, her leg was healing very quickly, and she shouted, "Let me suck your blood, quickly." ”

I was shocked and said, "No! ”

Bella lunged at me, and I hesitated for a moment, her teeth already digging into my shoulder through my clothes. It was so comforting, like a warm afternoon hug with my lover, and my blood burst like a, flowing between her lips and teeth, and after half a minute, she said, "Lie down for a while, don't move." ”

I felt weak and said, "You're sucking the wrong person!" I am the most reliable warrior besides you, how can you..."

Bella said, "It's enough to have me!" ”

At this time, the curator fell from the sky, landed on the Ranger Jing Yuan, and bit him into the neck, Jing Yuan's blood was like a fountain, spraying everywhere, he snorted and lay down in an instant, I knew that Jing Yuan would not survive, and I regretted it in my heart, which meant that I had to pay Jing Yuan's pension.

Bella pursued the curator, and in the blink of an eye, she was already behind the curator, but the curator's head was completely turned over, like an owl, and a long tongue came out of her mouth, Bella was a little surprised, and her hands turned and pushed, but she was not entangled in the long tongue. The curator burrowed into the pile of bones again, like a fish in water.

Bella gritted her teeth and said, "Is it Smitz's blood?" ”

Salvatore asked: "What Smitz?" ”

Bella said: "One of the bloodlines that have disappeared from the bloodline, he is good at organ changes, he melts into blood and water, and wanders underground. ”

Salvador shot me in an instant, hitting a ball of blood beside me, the surface of the blood rippled, and in a blink of an eye, it was the curator, who wanted to kill me first.

I hurriedly drank the blood of the viper as a precaution.

Bella sat cross-legged, her eyes closed, like an ancient monk sitting in meditation, after ten seconds, she suddenly moved, grabbed the black shadow that appeared behind the live target, the curator "Wow Wow" roared, the long tongue in her mouth was like an iron whip, smashing at Bella. Bella dodged and hit the curator in the head with two punches, the first causing his face to sink and the second causing us to hear the crunch of bones shattering.

The curator raised his hand and made a final stubborn resistance with his sharp nails, and Bella shouted, "Go on! He threw the curator at the curator, and with a pinch of the demon's giant arm, he broke the curator's waist.

The crowd cheered in unison: "Kill him!" ”

Bella breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's not easy, it's all done well...."

At this moment, I noticed that something was wrong with the live target, and his body was crooked, as if he was half-paralyzed all of a sudden. My eyes widened to see that the throat of the live target had been sliced open, but no blood was coming out.

His throat is the only weakness on his body. This means that he was hit by the curator's tongue whip, and the curator's attack on Bella before he died was actually aimed at a live target.

I shouted, "Salvador! Be careful! ”

The live target wailed, rolled his eyes, and grabbed Salvador with both hands, Salvador reacted, a fish jumped, and the live target failed to hit.

Bella gritted her teeth and said, "It's a parasitic trick, what a despicable bastard!" The live target turned its body, and the tongue in its mouth stretched and contracted, like a snake that had just woken up from a sleep, and had no breath.

"Before he can get used to it, kill him with a sword bullet!" ”

The live target was slow to move, located between the crowd, and after a round of firepower, the live target was covered in holes.

There was nothing we could do, the live target was already dead the moment it was hit by the curator.

However, the curator was still alive, and his blood flowed out of the body of the living target, bubbling and slowly condensing, and everyone was shocked by his vitality, not knowing what to do.

Bella said, "Is there a flamethrower?" Is there any gasoline? ”

The crowd looked at each other, and Cissus said, "No." ”

I shouted, "Look at me! "Take a few steps, reach into the blood with a brilliant hand, and whisper a mantra. In a short time, the blood became solidified gold leaf. Forced and Fairhel glanced at each other, their faces triumphant.

I asked Bella, "Is this solved?" ”

Bella said, "Yes, he's dead." Now give me the statue. She took the statue, looked at it carefully, smiled, and said, "It's it, the artifact of the three sisters of Ix, and it really lives up to its name." ”

We almost all died under its magic, and after learning it for ourselves, we shuddered.

Salvador knelt in front of the corpse of the living target, crying very sadly. I didn't say anything, touched his head, and stood with him for a while until he looked up at me and I said, "Let's go." ”

He asked, "What about the corpse of a living target?" ”

I said, "What else can I do if I stay here?" We didn't bring petrol and couldn't be cremated. ”

Salvador said: "Just... Just dispose of it? ”

I said, "Does he have a widow?" Does he have children? ”

Salvatore nodded.

I said, "That's his most precious relic, not his body, and we'll apply for a high pension for him." ”

Salvador whispered thanks to me.

We searched the secret room and found the diary of the curator: the curator was a man named Currypo, who had been under the control of the goddess since he collected the statue of Ix, and he selected the melancholy and weak among the female students who came to visit the museum, lured them into the church of Ix, and let the girls secretly develop followers.

The ultimate goal of this cult is to make the girls die in front of the statue of the evil god, but at first, they will meet like a family to discuss those cheerful topics, forming a close-knit atmosphere, and making people mentally oppressed and dependent.

The tragedy happened before the end of the world, and one day, at the behest of the curator, they collectively cut themselves off.

I was disgusted by this, but the "souls" of those young girls claimed to have stayed in the happy afterlife.

But is that really their soul? Is that really those pathetic teenage girls? I don't think so, it's just the remnants of the brainwaves, echoing in this bloody and cruel chamber, continuing to perform sacrifices on behalf of the three Ixes sisters, luring outsiders to die in the horns of moose. I'm not destroying the girls, I'm destroying the spirits that Icks have bewitched.

I went to Bella and said, "Sir, I have an idea, can you convey it to Legang for me?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it," Bella said. ”

I said, "Instead of hoping for another Yune, we should raise these moose and act as a convoy." ”

Bella laughed, "Moose? ”

I replied, "Yes, these moose are strong, fast, and very patient after being mutated. They just have to eat grass...."

Bella said, "It's these blood weeds. ”

I said, "Not necessarily, these bloodweeds have further turned them into ferocious monsters, but they may not be their real food." These plants and trees grow fastest in the wilderness, and I see many of them in the town of Black Coffin. ”

"You also see how terrible these moose are going crazy, and if they get out of control, they're afraid they'll kill a lot of people," Bella said. ”

I said, "But you can try, find some moose cubs to raise, and we'll find a way." ”

Bella sighed, "Little moose? Where can I find it? We don't dare venture into the forest. ”

I walked to the corner of the hall and lifted a piece of cloth in which lay five moose cubs, who had not yet eaten like their parents, and who had not shown signs of demonization, and looked at us with wide, shining eyes that contained only fear, not hostility, which I had deliberately blocked during the previous search.

Bella smiled, "We killed their parents and brought them back to raise them?" ”

I said, "The cult of Icks used their lives to create those blood weeds, and the blood weeds would make these moose cubs murderous, and now that we have destroyed the cult, the blood weeds will soon wither, and they will not survive without care." I think we're helping their parents get rid of their parents and find them a new home. ”

Bella said, "You have a lot of words to say. I thought that our blood clan was the best at being sanctimonious, saying one thing and doing another. ”

What else should I do? Blame yourself for being a cruel and despicable person? I'm just trying to do everything I can to realize the general policy set by the black coffin.

I said, "You have to try before you can find a reliable means of transportation, don't you?" ”

Bella sighed, "You are so bold as a second lieutenant, and in your capacity, you should not have made such a lot of nonsense. But you won't be a second lieutenant for long. ”

My heart was shocked, and I said hurriedly: "But I have no merit in this trip, how can you..."

Bella smiled: "Don't worry, I will tell my mother that she will let Le Gang promote you to an official, but until you are qualified, you should learn to keep a low profile." ”

It filled me with joy: I realized that I had taken another big step forward.

But the death of Jing Yuan and the living target made me feel gloomy. I know that far from the Black Coffin, the world is more mysterious and dangerous, and we are as peaceful as a novice village in comparison.

The Black Coffin's current manpower and technology are not enough to support its dreams.

Me too.

I need strong allies, an alien like Abel that is hard to come by, but at least with Bella's skills. But how could these high-ranking nobles be willing to risk their lives and pioneer far away?

I don't want to involve Lamia.
