Chapter Seventy-One: Death to the Birds
The dim light shone on the tarnished skin, and the uneven bones supported the thin skin, releasing wisps of fear in the swaying hearts.
Feth was very experienced in shutting the other party's mouth before Miss Hughes screamed, and if it weren't for Siya's presence, Zhou Duan felt that Fez might not have used his hands.
However, what made Zhou Duan more concerned was that on March's shriveled skin, a mocking smiling face with clown makeup was facing everyone.
"It seems that our opponents ...... Keep looking at us. Fez's smiled inexplicably.
"But we still have to do what needs to be done, and then please move on." Facing doTERRA Chow politely used a gesture of please.
"Of course."
Walk to the other end of the hall.
Fez gathered his mood again: "DoTERRA do you have anything else to explain besides that something is wrong?" ”
"I didn't expect it before, but when I saw March, I remembered that Lloyd's chest was bigger than the average person...... Anyway, I felt like I was bumping into the body of a child, you know, my physique was not strong among the nobility. ”
Other than that, doTERRA apparently has no other clues.
"Looks like it's back to square one."
The four of them came to 208 again with the butler.
"If the two of them were here." Fez walked over to the bed, "I'm tired of turning on the music." ”
The music starts again.
It must have been possible to hear Lloyd's door the moment he opened the door, but apparently not, so who prevented Hughes from hearing the music? ”
"You mean someone was out there?" Siya stepped forward, and her elegant figure was deeply imprinted in Fez's eyes.
"Maybe not people."
"Also, what is the medium through which the murder occurred, and if it is direct contact......" Zhou Duan looked at Fez.
"It's different, I have Lao Luo's protection." Fez patted the green wolf beside him.
"That March?"
"He's ...... like Lloyd's" At this point, Fez stopped abruptly.
"Lloydbee said that he has a black lord, and a demon of the level of the contract black lord is definitely not enough to just "release" the spiritual power left over, so ......"
"I know March said at a banquet last time that he was considering re-contracting a Black Lord, if that's true......"
Then there is a problem with where their so-called "black lords" came from. ”
"But there's one more problem." Fez looked at Zhou Duan, "Where is the Black Lord?" ”
"If it's really the Black Lord's problem......" The butler on the side suddenly spoke.
"You know?" Zhou Duan asked.
"Baron Lloydbee and the lord don't get along, but this time he gave a black lord as a gift."
"Where's the Black Lord?" Fez asked the butler.
"Put it in the basement for the time being."
To a baron, the Black Lord may be very precious, but Lloybee is not your average baron, and it is understandable if the Black Lord is given as a gift.
But why didn't he choose the contract himself, but gave it to Wells, who had always been wrong?
"Take us there."
The housekeeper didn't hesitate too much and led a few people to the basement entrance.
"I'll break it off." Fez said with a hint of anticipation.
"I'm broken." Duo An didn't give face at all.
Zhou Duan was the first to go down, the butler followed, and under the gaze of the second daughter, Fez had to bend helplessly.
Zhou Duan didn't expect that the basement that the butler said was actually similar to a building of an air-raid shelter, connected to the artificial lake behind the manor.
So the air inside is a little humid.
Where, a rag doll tied in illusory chains fell to the ground.
"How is it possible, this is the Black Star Chain given by the old man."
The butler walked up to the rag doll and just wanted to pick it up.
"Be careful." Fez's lunge rushed up to block the butler.
Then a card with the exact same pattern of a strange bird found on the stairs appeared in the middle of the chain, and black smoke suddenly rose from the rag doll's surroundings.
"Roar!" A violent tiger roar shook away the black smoke that showed signs of spreading.
The evil man beside Zhou Duan stared viciously at the card in front of him.
As the black smoke dissipated, the card shattered into powder and disappeared into the air.
Fez glanced at Evil, and then asked the green wolf to come forward and confirm.
"No, it seems that the problem lies with the Black Lord."
"No, I think there may be more than one Black Lord." Zhou Duan's face changed suddenly, "I think we have to confirm the status of those nobles, and the black lord is probably not the black lord anymore." ”
Fez nodded: "Let's go up first, this basement is really tasteless." ”
The housekeeper does not express any opinion on this.
It's still the order when it comes down.
Not long after Zhou Duan left, a violent wheezing sound came from the originally silent basement: "Damn, this is the voice of that beast, those dead people can still find the messenger of the world......"
In an attic not far from the McChel family estate, a graceful woman leaned against the window and looked out of the blockaded area.
"What, do you regret it?"
"Why, this is the best chance for her."
"But I'm afraid things will go wrong in the end."
"Why, you're scared too?"
"Anyway, in my eyes, the successor can be found again, but my people can't have accidents."
"Of course, the "sacrifice" we are looking for this time is the weakest ......."
"I hope so."
……
After Zhou Duan came out of the basement, the city guards had arrived, which gave everyone a sense of security.
"Please tell you to go down and call out all the people, and don't let people get near the other two corpses."
The steward commanded.
Even Wells, who was in the safe zone, came out.
"Mu, what's wrong?" Wells asked.
"I'm afraid things have changed, and it's much worse than we thought." Zhou Duan told Wells about the Black Lord.
"It's a problem, Lloyd's can't do this kind of thing, I'm afraid there is someone else behind this matter." Wells gets the key.
"For now, we still have to find out the cause of death, at least solve everyone's panic first."
Wells nodded: "Although we are safe, there is no need to be special to us at this time. ”
Of course, Zhou Duan understood that he had no intention of making them special.
"Filthy aristocratic ......" Watching Zhou Duan and Wells whisper, Fez grinned at Siya.
It's a pity that Siya hasn't paid much attention to this, and although Fez's reasoning skills are not bad, he hasn't particularly attracted herself so far.
"Ladies and gentlemen." In this case, only people like Fes, who do not have a title but have some special role at this time, will speak and will not fall into an embarrassing situation.
Even the owner will be condemned after such an incident.
The crowd was watched, which made Faith feel a sense of accomplishment that he hadn't felt in a long time, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"First of all, we should be glad that you are now complete, yes, there have been incredible murders in this prestigious castle, and each of us may be the next target.
However, if I do what I say, there may be a chance that this tragedy will be avoided, so we will be honest with each other, and the person who recently got a demon like the "Black Lord" from an unknown place and exiled his own original demon will stand up. ”
Seeing that no one came out, Fez pouted: "Okay, then I can say very responsibly that these people are the next ones, the next ones and even the next dead." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many people below changed, and Zhou Duan noticed that a person named Dill in the earl's camp trembled a little.
Apparently, the count also noticed.
"You can circumvent this ......"
Zhou Duan shook his head: "I'm not sure, I think it's safer to take the initiative to go out." ”
"Why not ......"
"Wells." Zhou Duan looked at the other party seriously, "If it were you and your brother, I would naturally not have a second word, but at this time, you know, my time is precious." ”
"You're right, shepherd." Wells was silent for a long time.
Fez, seeing that someone had finally stepped forward, smiled: "Forgive me for my presumptuousness, gentlemen, can you tell me the origin of this "black lord", if you still want to live." ”
"Why should we trust you?"
"What do you have to prove that what you say is true?"
……
Suddenly, the emotions of the nobles began to stir.
Zhou Duan suddenly rushed into the crowd and pulled out a knight in a black dress.
The crowd that was still indignant just now looked at Zhou Duan suspiciously.
"Say, give me a reason to keep you alive." Zhou Duan looked at each other.
"What are you talking about?" The other party put on a questioning face.
"Are you inciting the crowd to keep moving?" Zhou Duan asked unrelentingly.
"You're ...... What do you say? Suddenly, a smile suddenly appeared on the face of the person in front of Zhou Duan, and the arc of his mouth became bigger and bigger.
It grinned all the way to the back of the ear, and then exploded with a thud, dozens of disgusting tentacles protruding from the blasted skull.
"Be careful!" Siya couldn't help but be horrified when she saw it, and subconsciously wanted to run over.
Doan stopped Siya in time.
Zhou Duan was also shocked when he looked at more than a dozen dark and twisted tentacles with internal organ fragments sticking out of the other party's bloody neck.
This breath was exactly the same one he encountered in the magma lake of destruction he encountered in the first world.
