Chapter XXXVII: The Phantom of the Church

Wang Feng looked at Ruth with mixed feelings, and he was speechless for a while.

Ruth kept flipping through the relevant books: "What are you doing watching me all the time?" ”

"Ahh Wang Feng was directly stunned: "It's nothing...... You...... It's pretty. ”

Ruth gave him a blank look: "What's the use of being pretty, a fairy like me doesn't want to mingle with that group of monsters every day, to be honest, this is the first time I've encountered a vampire." ”

"First time you're met?"

"Hmm!" Ruth closed the book in her hand and looked at Wang Feng: "Yes...... First encounter with a vampire. ”

Wang Feng frowned: "You haven't met it before?" ”

"I've been in Watertown for about a year, and it's only in the past few months that I heard about vampires, and I thought it was just a rumor, but after seeing those corpses, I denied my idea...... In fact, to be honest, I don't think there are ghosts and monsters in this world, and the so-called supernatural ** is just a science that cannot be explained by human beings...... But this time I ......"

Ruth paused: "Those corpses are pale, like dried corpses, and there is not the slightest blood in their bodies...... At first I thought it was nothing more than a vampire-loving fanatic...... But then I saw vampires. ”

"See a vampire?"

Wang Feng was shocked.

"It's a vampire, it's not more like a bug as it says in the classical texts, except that the bug is taller than a human......"

Ruth sighed, took out three photos from her bosom and handed them to Wang Feng: "Although these three photos are very blurry, the creatures that appear in them are what people call vampires. ”

Wang Feng looked at the photo, the things taken in it were blurred, but the general outline was in full view, the eyes were surprisingly big, although the figure was tall, but very thin, giving people the feeling of being a telephone pole.

Some of the limbs also have thick manes on them, which do look a bit like flies.

The legs were blurred, like phantoms, and behind these vampires, there were a pair of broken wings, which was visually terrifying.

It is indeed very different from the vampires described in the literature, and Wang Feng feels more like a species from another world than a vampire.

"Where did you get these pictures?" He couldn't help but wonder where Ruth got these pictures.

"I shot it myself...... I've been investigating things about vampires for months......"

Ruth pointed to the photo in Wang Feng's hand and said again: "According to the information circulating on the black market, the monster in this photo is exactly the same as the god of a certain shoe sect. ”

"Shoe Teaching ......"

When Wang Feng heard this word, he was immediately excited.

"This time the vampire ** killed almost a dozen people, otherwise it wouldn't have caused such a big sensation, now the people in the water city want to escape, but the people outside want to go out, they don't know the terrible ...... of this thing" Ruth showed a worried look: "Unknown things are always so attractive, but they are also accompanied by danger...... Alas! ”

Wang Feng spread his hands, after all, this is also a helpless thing, because of the unknown, so it can stimulate people's curiosity, and because of curiosity, people will explore.

Because human beings are full of yearning for the sky, they began to study airplanes and sail to the sky, and human beings are always like this, chasing the unknown and forgetting the dangers brought by the unknown.

The so-called curiosity is undoubtedly a double-edged knife, and when human beings are faced with this double-edged knife, they only see the most attractive parts and ignore the dangers.

"What are we going to do next?"

Wang Feng asked Ruth about her next plans, after all, it was not a long-term solution for the two of them to look through the information here, after all, the reality was slightly different from the record.

"I don't know...... If I knew, I wouldn't be looking through the information here. ”

Ruth suddenly remembered something, and she looked at Wang Feng: "Where have I met you?" ”

"I guess I've seen it!"

Wang Feng smiled bitterly.

Ruth had no choice but to give up when she saw Wang Feng being so perfunctory, and the two stayed in the library like this, looking at those ancient documents.

Wang Feng was very curious about this church: "Why was the church converted into a library?" ”

Ruth thought for a moment and replied, "Because overnight, everyone in this church died...... In accordance with the bishop's wishes, the church was converted into a library...... Most of these books are collected from all over the world, and they can be regarded as a selling point of Watertown......"

"All dead? What's going on here? ”

Wang Feng was a little puzzled: "Could it be that something happened to this church?" ”

"Hmmm! I don't know the specifics. It is said that all the people in the church have been reduced to bones......"

"White bones?"

Wang Feng looked around and became vigilant, the entire library was now only the two of them, and the silence was a little terrifying.

"And this library has a very quirky requirement not to look at the armor."

"Can't keep an eye on the armor?"

Wang Feng turned his head to look behind him, only to see a black armor standing quietly one meter away from the two of them.

"Let's not talk about that...... When did that come to us? Why is there no sound when walking? ”

The armor looked so heavy that it should make a noise with every step, but the two of them didn't notice it at all.

"Wasn't that thing there all along?"

Ruth glanced at the armor, and then at Wang Feng.

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?" Wang Feng felt that something was wrong in his heart, because he didn't see any armor when he came in before.

But Ruth said so, is it really that she thinks too much?

He turned his head to look at the armor again, only to find that it was gone.

Wang Feng suddenly sweated in fright, and when he raised his head, the armor actually appeared behind Ruth.

"Oops!"

The fragments in the realm of thought quickly materialized and turned into a spear, Wang Feng picked up the spear and jumped up, plunging deep into the armor.

"What are you doing here?" Ruth was startled and stared at Wang Feng with anger on her face, not suspicious of the armor at all, as if she hadn't seen it.

"There's something wrong with this armor......"

Wang Feng grabbed Ruth's hand and then slowly retreated.

"But isn't this armor always behind me?"

Ruth narrowed her eyes, "I can't be mistaken!" ”

Wang Feng looked at Ruth with a look of surprise: "But this armor is only one meter away from the two of us, and it is only a blink of an eye behind you......"

It dawned on him that the armor might have changed Ruth's memory, or that it might have some other ability

Make it forget.

"How long has this armor been here?"

Ruth thought for a long time: "It seems that it has always been here......"

The black spear instantly turned into pieces, and the armor also moved, slowly approaching the two, but in Ruth's eyes, the armor seemed to have been passive all along.

"It's always been here?"

Wang Feng's cold sweat kept pouring down, he kept staring at the armor and kept retreating.

"You said before that everyone in the church was reduced to bones, and then it was converted into a library...... It means that this armor has been here since the church was built......"

"That's right!"

"Run!"

Wang Feng just wanted to turn around and run away, but before he knew it, more than a dozen armors had appeared around him, and surrounded the two of them.

"How can there be so many armor ......"

Ruth suddenly woke up when she saw these armors: "Oh no......"

When Wang Feng pierced the black spear into the armor just now, he found that there was nothing inside, but the armor could move

"Someone is controlling the armor...... So what exactly is his purpose? ”

The debris began to gather again, and formed a barrier around the two of them.

"No...... These armors are not supposed to be controlled by others......"

Wang Feng rejected this idea, because these armors looked very bulky, more like creatures without intelligence, everything was based on instinct.

The armor that had been pierced by Wang Feng before had disappeared.

And the armor has come to the perimeter of the barrier, and is pounding on the barrier.

"What now?"

Ruth didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing? Although he was a witcher, he had never heard of such a monster.

And Wang Feng was even more helpless, his own attack had no effect on these armors, and all he could do now was to defend.

At this moment, the armor can't get in, and he can't attack, so he can only spend it here.

Shards can assimilate armor, but they can't assimilate monsters they can't see.

It will only increase the risk for the two, and what you can't see is always more threatening than what you see.

The pile of armor in front of them is just a trick, and what the two of them really have to face is the creatures in the armor.

Wang Feng took a deep breath, and the fragments began to roll non-stop, and those armors slowly retreated after seeing that they could not break through the barrier.

The two stayed in the barrier and moved forward slowly, for some reason, they walked for a long time and still stood still.

"The two of us seem to be going around in circles here all the time......"

Ruth looked at Wang Feng: "And do you feel that this church seems to have become bigger?" ”

Wang Feng nodded, and the church at this moment was much larger than before, and those bookshelves had become a labyrinth.

It was not easy for the two of them to get out of this library, and although the armor was gone, it was still a big hidden danger.

"If I'm not mistaken, this armor has something to do with the previous church events...... They killed them and were reduced to bones......"

Wang Feng stopped and suddenly thought of a way, the fragments surrounded the two of them separately, and formed armor.

"What kind of witchcraft are you using? Such an amazing ......."

Ruth had been wanting to ask Wang Feng what method he had used since just now.

"I can't explain this to you."

Wang Feng was a little embarrassed.

Ruth didn't ask any more.

At this moment, the library has become a different scene, all the bookshelves are densely arranged together, forming an endless corridor, and in this endless corridor, there are countless forks in the road.

The surroundings had become blank, and the hanging lights emitted a dim glow.

Everything is a little looming.

Wang Feng tried to calm himself down, but the more he calmed down, the faster his heart beats, and his mind is even more blank.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been walking along the corridor, and suddenly saw a dried corpse on the ground, Wang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to check, and the moment he ran there, the dried corpse in front of him disappeared.

"I just saw the dried corpse here, why did it suddenly disappear?"

Wang Feng looked at Ruth suspiciously.

And Ruth was a little puzzled.

"Could it be that the two of us are hallucinating?"

"It's possible ......"

Wang Feng and the others did not stop, and continued to walk forward, but the labyrinth formed by this library was too big, and they couldn't find the direction for a while, and the two gradually became a little sleepy, and their physical strength gradually couldn't keep up.

Ruth didn't know why, she always felt like someone was watching them, but when she turned her head, there was nothing behind her.

She hurriedly called Wang Feng: "Do you feel that someone is watching us?" ”

Wang Feng looked at Ruth: "If I'm not mistaken, those monsters have abandoned their armor and are watching us secretly...... They're always looking for an opportunity to devour us......"

"Invisible monsters?"

Ruth took a deep breath, she didn't expect that she would encounter such a bizarre thing, and this matter had touched her knowledge blind spot.

Now the two of them are completely disoriented, and they don't know what to do.

Hearing only the "click...... sound, Wang Feng's armor made of fragments had cracked, as if something was gnawing at it.

"These guys are attacking our armor......"

Wang Feng hurriedly used fragments to fill the gap in the armor.

"Do you think these monsters are afraid of fire?"

Ruth watched the corners of Wang Feng's mouth rise wildly.

After Ruth said this, Wang Feng also suddenly realized, and quickly materialized the fragments, and formed flames, allowing these flames to drift in various places in the labyrinth.

Both of them smelled a foul stench, as if something had been burned, and the entire library began to burst into flames.

A terrifying figure emerged from the flames, and struggled in pain.

The surrounding scene is also beginning to return to its original state.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the library.

However, just as this was the case, Wang Feng was suddenly stunned.

I don't know when my armor has disappeared.

He only felt a sharp pain in his hand, and his right hand was torn off in an instant.

Wang Feng hurriedly used fragments to form a barrier and surrounded the two again.

Ruth hurriedly ran over to inquire about Wang Feng's condition: "Your hand ......"

Wang Feng frowned and looked around: "We have been tricked...... These flames didn't do much to those monsters...... Those guys just

I want us to let our guard down. ”

Ruth blamed herself a little, if it weren't for herself, Wang Feng's right hand would not have been torn off by those monsters.

"I'm sorry if it wasn't for my ......"

"It's nothing to do with you, it's all my own negligence, I didn't expect this......" Wang Feng looked at Ruth with a pale face: "Anyway, my fragments can be turned into anything......"

He drew the shard, turned it into his right hand, and placed it on his wound.

The monsters began to go berserk at the smell of blood, banging frantically against the barrier and howling like hell in their mouths.

But Wang Feng and the others didn't see the monster.

"What the hell is this monster?"

The two of them sat directly on the ground and rested.

Wang Feng looked at the arm that had just been torn by the monster, which was now a pile of white bones.

"That's what it looks like, I understand......"

"Got what?"

Ruth looked at Wang Feng who was a little puzzled, the current situation is very sinister, if she is not careful, she will be devoured by these monsters, Wang Feng can still laugh.

Wang Feng looked at Ruth and smiled even more: "Why did the people in the church turn into white bones before?" It's because of these monsters...... So why was this place converted into a library? In fact, it was not the last wish of the sect leader, but he raised these monsters. ”

"But in the end, he died!"

Ruth felt that what Wang Feng said was not right.

Wang Feng shook his head: "He actually knew that he would die...... Otherwise, there would be no will to convert the church into a library...... On the contrary, he knew that when he died, these monsters would have no source of food...... If I'm not mistaken, this church was originally meant to be a place to feed these monsters, but an accident led to its destruction. ”

He glanced at his surroundings and continued, "These monsters were bred by the sect master, maybe that guy summoned these monsters to the church, and everyone who entered the library was food for these monsters. ”

But why did he do that? What is the motivation? You don't make any sense, it's just your guess......"

What Wang Feng said didn't make Ruth believe it.

He sighed, "There is indeed a need for motivation, because this sect leader has betrayed his faith and joined the shoe sect...... If I'm not mistaken, almost all the members of the church were shoemakers. ”

"This ...... It feels a bit far-fetched! ”

Wang Feng shook his head and said, "It's not far-fetched at all......"

He stood up and held out his hand to Ruth, "If you don't believe me." I can show you there...... I'm sure I'll find a clue......"

Ruth hesitated for a moment before standing up, "Then I'll see what clues you can find." ”

Wang Feng smiled slightly: "It's easy to find clues in this place......"

He slowly walked to the statue in the center of the library, followed by Ruth.

"This statue is clearly insulting......"

"Insults? I didn't see it......"

Ruth looked at it for a long time and didn't find any clues.

Wang Feng didn't speak, and pointed to the clearly visible break on his neck: "The head of this statue is directly connected." ”

He pointed to the statue's arms, as well as other parts that were clearly visible.

"Not only the neck, but also the other parts are pieced together...... If that was his faith, he wouldn't do it...... Unless ......"

Ruth looked at the broken marks and paused: "Unless you hate ......"

Wang Feng nodded, and he pointed to those candles: "These candles are placed in the wrong place at all...... And the number is not right...... The arrangement of six candles, a total of three rows, is exactly 666...... That's the biggest taboo......"

"Demons?"

Ruth heard Wang Feng say this, it was indeed the same thing, which proved that Wang Feng's previous guess was correct.

"But how do we get out of here now?"

The biggest danger the two of them are now facing is escaping the library.

"Do you think these monsters will let us escape so easily? But I can't figure out why these monsters don't attack us during the day...... But attacking us at night? ”

"You mean they need to rest during the day, and the best time to go out is at night?" Ruth couldn't help but be a little happy when she thought of this: "Then we just need to hold out until daytime, okay?" ”

Wang Feng nodded, but staying in this library, how could those monsters let them stay until daytime? Will definitely find a way to break through the barrier.

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy...... The armor that has just been formed is considered a small barrier...... But they broke through the barrier......"

"Then why can't they break through the current barrier?"

Ruth looked at Wang Feng and hoped for an answer.

"Because the current barrier is made up of countless fragments, even if the monster destroys some of them, other fragments will be filled, and the previous barrier has formed a concrete thing, once there is a gap, there will be no fragments to make up......" Wang Feng paused, and then said again: "These guys are constantly growing, and they are getting smarter and smarter...... At first, it seemed very bulky because they didn't encounter enemies, but after encountering enemies, they began to learn. ”

Wang Feng knew that if they dragged on like this any longer, instead of having a chance to escape, the two of them would be killed by these monsters.

"So what should we do now?"

The more Ruth listened, the more panicked she became.

"There's no way the monsters can hurt us at the moment...... We're going to have to find a way to get rid of them all. ”

Although his words are a bit wishful thinking, it is not impossible, there is always a way, but Wang Feng has not thought of it yet.

He sighed and glanced at Ruth, "Fire doesn't do anything to them, and spears don't do anything to them...... They have to be dealt with in some unconventional way. ”

"Unconventional methods?"

Ruth was confused: "What is an unconventional method?" ”

Wang Feng smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and the barrier formed by the fragments began to turn into the surrounding colors and merge with the surroundings.

"Since they're invisible, we're invisible...... so that they cannot see us, and we cannot see them......"

"Good idea...... But what do we do next? ”

Although Wang Feng's method is indeed very good, it cannot get the two out of the predicament.

Wang Feng shook his head: "I don't know what to do next, all I can do now is to delay time for the two of us......"

He sighed: "And this time is very important for the two of us...... If we can't think of it, then we can only accept our fate. ”
