XXVII. Otherworldly Survival
I began to worry about the voles running under the stars, which came with the rangers.
She was Ranger Lieutenant Wen Ling, a middle-aged woman who looked very ordinary, but at this moment, I noticed that she was very thin, hunched over, like a sick person.
Tiphon said, "Let Norris speak." β
Wen Ling shuddered, she turned around tremblingly, lifted her long hair, and there was a horrible sarcoma on the back of her neck, the sarcoma turned into a human face, much like Norris Giovanni.
The spell was so disgusting and made my stomach feel so sick.
Norris said, "How's it going, Ms. Tifeng?" β
"According to your astrological theory, we have found the first Sealing Stone, and now we have a clue to the second Sealing Stone, which belongs to a demon named Osmo. β
Norris said, "That could well lead you to the Otherworld, be careful, I suspect that there are others besides Ambrosa who are plotting against the Sealing Stone." β
Ti Feng frowned and asked, "Who is it?" β
"It's hard to say, it could be trickier and more dangerous than Ambrosa, I heard the voice of the dead, and it creeped my bones."
Ti Feng said: "I would rather be misled than be ignorant of the enemy. β
Norris said: "The undead whispered in my ear: 'Beware of the pale bride, who has come from the grave to seek revenge on Giovanni. 'I'..... Never knew any pale bride, but the undead wouldn't lie to me. β
But he didn't quite believe it, for he hesitated at this point.
Tiphon asked, "This pale bride is not from the Giovanni family?" β
"She's supposed to be an avenger, and our family is so much of an enemy."
"She also wants to be the god of the dead?"
Norris replied, "The signs have become evident lately, and the location of the Sealed Stone will lead us to trace the rest of the stones, and she may not have thought the same as Ambrosa, but my father's hidden secrets are tempting enough that the hungry will flock to them." β
"But I'm most worried about Ambrosa. β
Norris said, "He's a tricky man, but the best thing about necromancy is the trap, and he's no match for you if you don't have to watch out for him pre-arranging a large number of corpses." β
Ti Feng smiled bitterly, "Dealing with necromancy, it seems that we still need your help." β
"Then take Wen Ling with you, she is my medium for casting spells, protect her alive, I will be able to help you."
The sarcoma closed her eyes, Wen Ling's long hair covered it, and she was even more scared, but she still obeyed Norris's orders. I only hope Norris's spell doesn't kill her.
Lamia took Wen Ling's hand and said, "It'll be fine, stay away when you encounter the enemy, just like me." β
Wen Ling whispered, "Thank you, sir. β
The mask started the engine, and we continued our journey, and at Norris's suggestion, we threw away that filthy tongue so as not to be followed by Ambrosa.
Three days later, we arrived at a villageβa strange village, which seemed to be the Chinatown depicted in the book, with a red-painted street door with incomprehensible oriental characters written on it, and there were living people on the street, and it stands to reason that the surviving humans would not usually choose to live on the ground, because demons would never tolerate human survival, and sunlight would shorten the life span of humans.
It was getting dark, and it was a good time for the Bloodline to move.
"It's weird," Lamia said. β
Ti Feng said: "It's very strange, this is a different space! Mask, you guard, never get out of the car. β
Chris said, "I'll stay and wait for an opportunity to help." β
I said, "Duke, you are not allowed to do anything too much to my partner. β
Chris stared at me and asked, "What's too much?" β
I smiled and said, "You can't go too far, or you'll hit me." β
However, I was still beaten, do these female blood clans have itchy hands if they don't beat people?
We got out of the car and landed on the ground and walked towards the village, where the lanterns were dim and red, and the fog was thin and nerve-wracking. I wonder if all the people in this village are ghosts? No, this is science fiction, not supernatural, so the question arises, will they be hallucinations of brain wave remnants?
Someone shouted, "It's human!" It's human! It's humans from the outside world! β
They dropped what they were doing and ran towards us. Tiphon drew his sword in his hand, Lamia clenched Kungunir, and I stepped forward, walking in the front, and saw that these were human beings, not illusory or illusions, but human beings who were like fakes, alive, but their faces were blue, as if they had never been exposed to the sun in their lives, and they were worse than the inhabitants of underground villages.
I shouted, "Stop! β
Actually, I don't have to shout, they have stopped, about three or four meters away from us, hundreds of people are blocking the street, everyone is looking at us with the eyes of zoo animals.
I said, "We are the Rangers of the Black Coffin, coming with kindness, where is this?" β
Someone replied: "Fort Osmo." β
We knew we were in the right place. I asked, "Is this an otherworld?" β
They replied, "That's right! "We can't go out, but occasionally someone comes in through a wormhole." "It seems to have something to do with the stars outside."
I asked, "So has anyone been in lately?" β
"No, it's been a long, long time since I've seen anyone from the outside world!"
I observed their expressions, and in an instant a thunderbolt erupted from Mjonir, and they were frightened and retreated, and I exclaimed, "I know you guys! I warn you, the sword in my hand is not a vegetarian, if you want to catch us and eat us, or visit us as animals for the rest of your life, I will cut off your heads one by one and use them as toilets..."
They were excited, pointing at me and scolding, and I was right!
I was filled with righteous indignation, the real qi in my body swirled, and in an instant, I opened the second vein of Ren Du, and my internal strength was infused into my limbs and hundreds of remains, and I was about to step forward bravely and kill all sides, Lamia hurriedly covered my mouth and said, "We just want to see Osmo, and there is no malice." β
They cried out, "Do you want to see the god Osmo?" Why? β
"There are very important things, and if something goes wrong, you can't afford the consequences," Lamia said. β
They were frightened, and an old man in the village said, "I will take you to the gods, but remember that you must not let the gods see your weapons." β
I sneered, "Are you afraid that we will kill him?" "Lamia gave me a kick in the familiar way, this woman, I would ask her to cry and beg for mercy at night, but tonight it seems that there is no chance.
The old man said, "No, the weapon will anger the gods, and you will all die, as all the intruders who came before." β
My heart was shocked, and I was wondering if I should give that demon a sword as soon as we metβthe so-called first strike is the strongest, and the next will suffer. If you don't give him three colors, he thinks I don't run a dyeing shop. Ti Feng shouted: "Fishbone, if you act rashly again!" I'll castrate you! β
Why does she keep threatening me with three ways? Alas, it is really the most poisonous woman's heart.
Tiphon asked, "You originally came from.... Our world? β
The old man replied, "As you can see, this is the Chinatown of San Francisco, and these are written in the local chronicles of the village. β
"And how did you get here?"
The old man said, "It's all thanks to the gods, who saved us here from the end of the world." β
I asked, "What god?" He must have been a wealthy scientist who discovered advanced wormhole technology. β
The old man's eyes widened dimly, as if I had said this to the cow.
Tifeng: "Sir, how do you know that the end of the world has happened?" Haven't you been locked up here all along? β
The old man said, "It was said by a traveler from the outside world, and not once, every time, every traveler said so. It was then that we realized that we had wronged the gods, and from then on, we named the place Fort Osmo, to thank the gods for saving their lives, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. β
I hugged the old man and looked very kind. Lamia asked, "What are you messing with?" β
Oh, my dear Lamia, this is not a troublemaker, you can think of how much this thing is done in the style of a certain personβproficient in spatial teleportation technology, and with the wisdom to save the world, as far as I know, only my wise and martial arts past life could have done it.
Yes, that Osmo must have been a disciple of St. Longinus, and he would have recognized me, and he would have gratefully ceded all the rights of this village to me, so that I might inherit the name of this savior, and that I might become the new god of the land.
But I didn't tell them about this fact, which should surprise them.
We walked into a dark building with blood-red windows, and in the middle of the hall sat a tall chair, and on the chair sat a strange man, who was only a human head, a thin and huge bald head, wearing a black crown, but looking closely, there was a layer of red cloth under the head, and under the red cloth, there seemed to be many snakes wriggling.
Osmo opened his eyes, he looked very unhappy, his brows crooked, like a filial son who was in the process of funeral.
He said, "Outsiders again, I warn you that if you use force against me, you will all die." β
What kind of person am I? How could you be threatened by this? I took a step forward and said, "Excuse me, do you recognize me?" β
He said, "I don't know. β
In an instant, I was as bleak as a spare tire rejected by a lover who had been in love for ten years.
After a second, I regrouped and exclaimed, "Do you know a professor named Longinus?" He may have a big beard. β
Osmo added, "I haven't heard of it." β
I was so angry that I felt like a groom who learned on his wife cheating on the best man on his wedding night. I was about to show my sword when Lamia and Tiphon slapped me in the face at the same time, sending me into the street.
Tiphon said, "Your Excellency, we are here for a stone of seals belonging to Augustus Giovanni, and I wonder if he is in your hands?" β
Osmo said, "No. β
Ti Feng said loudly: "Your Excellency, since you are the supreme ruler here, there is no need to hide it from us. β
"My answer 'no' does not mean that the 'Sealing Stone' is not in my possession, but that the Sealing Stone does not belong to Augustus Giovanni, but to an ancient vampire named Cappadocia," Osmo said. β
