Chapter 072: The Terminator
"Sacrifice!?At that time, we have already entered the era of railways, will such barbaric things happen!?"
Charlize didn't quite believe this, and Charlotte had to explain,
"The so-called sacrifice does not need to go through a definite ritual. As long as you give your life for something, whether intentionally or not, it can be said to meet the basic requirements of sacrifice. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to his feet,
"At that time, the construction of the western section of the Pacific Railroad was so dangerous that American workers were reluctant to participate, and in the end, the railroad company relied on Chinese laborers sold from China to complete the most difficult sections. ”
"Of course, there have been countless deaths and injuries in this process. ”
Charlize didn't doubt it again this time. When she first came to the United States, in order to deepen her understanding of this place, she read some books on this subject, although they were not detailed, but she also knew some related black history.
"Is that why you say that this section of the railway was built after a lot of sacrifices?"
The girl looked at Charlotte cautiously, as if sensing the abnormality in his mood.
"yes!"
Charlotte sighed.
He knew that Charlize didn't doubt his words, but in this regard, it was difficult for a white girl to understand what he was feeling. He had no choice but to let go of the sentimentality in his heart and turn his attention back to the present again.
"Even without any rituals, a large number of sacrifices will inevitably produce some magic, which will gradually dissipate over time, but on the other hand, it will gradually settle down. ”
"The spell you just used used was to use the magic that had been precipitated, right?"
Charlize had fully understood what Charlotte meant.
"That's right!"
Charlotte nodded,
"The precipitated magic combined with the prosperity and loneliness of the Pacific Railroad has become the best key to communicate the past and the present, the underworld and the yang world, so I was able to summon the gate of hell that is almost visible to the naked eye at this abandoned crossroads. ”
"Is that really the gateway to hell?"
Here's Charlize's focus.
"How do I know?"
Charlotte is also a little helpless about the girl in front of her who occasionally gets off the line.
"Although there are legends that crossroads lead to the underworld in both the East and the West, apart from knowing that crossroads do have frequent accidents and are easy to kill people, I don't know much more about this problem than you. In fact, if it weren't for the magic precipitated here, I would have never seen such a substantial hell gate. ”
"So, you don't know where those ghosts went?"
"I know half of it, to be exact. ”
Charlotte corrected Charlize's judgment,
"Indeed, I don't know exactly where the souls, if they do, after they pass through the gates of hell. But their power, I know, is dissipated in the land. ”
As she spoke, Charlotte looked around and took a deep breath,
"Sally, don't you think that although this area is cold, it makes people's minds very clear? This is the result of opening the gates of hell at the crossroads - sending away the soul and breaking down the power. Dust to dust, dust to dust. ”
- What's more, it's not just the ghosts who have been dismantled by the Hell Gate this time.
Before the Hell Gate was closed, affected by its suction, Wei Changhui's remaining ghost tiger power was also pulled in front of the gate. But unlike other ghosts that were sucked directly into the door, this power, which had lost control of consciousness and only acted instinctively, tried to attach itself to Charlotte Charlotte's body.
Originally, the ghost tiger, as a kind of mandrill, although it is also a ghost, between life and death, does not belong to the pure undead. Even if the gates of hell are opened, their impact on them is limited. But when its consciousness is sealed, this residual power is more like the walking dead, only a thin line away from the undead, and the influence of the hell gate on it is much greater, which can attract it.
However, this remnant force is not a pure undead after all, and its residual instinct allows it to struggle for survival, which is why it has the move to possess Charlotte. But since Charlotte had set so many traps for it before, how could she not prevent this move?
"When facing Wei Changhui, who is in good condition, it is useless for me to ask the big ghost to come up. It doesn't mean that in the face of his remaining strength, this trick is still useless. ”
At the moment when the other party possessed her, Charlotte activated the big ghost rune on his body again, and ate the remaining power of the ghost tiger in one bite.
And then I almost ate it!
Although it was decomposed by the Hell Gate at the last moment, it was Wei Changhui's mana accumulated for hundreds of years after all. Even if he was successfully swallowed by him, a spell rookie, because he was now ownerless, he couldn't absorb it immediately, and he could only seal it in his physical strength, gradually transform, and improve his cultivation speed.
And that's not even the most disgusting!
What disgusted Charlotte the most was the vitality that Wei Changhui absorbed after killing him. For ghosts, although this life force cannot enhance mana, it is somewhat useful. But for Charlotte, who is already a living person, this is completely chicken ribs-
The living cannot easily absorb the life force of others!
After all, being alive is in itself the greatest gift given by nature, so how can we expect more? If we violate the law and forcibly absorb the vitality that does not belong to us, we will either damage our body or become inhuman, ghosts, and ghosts.
In desperation, Charlotte had no choice but to seal this vitality collected by Wei Changhui in her body.
"There's no way to go on like this!"
- I originally wanted to take the opportunity to make a lot of money and improve my spell cultivation, but I had no luck and miscalculated, and now I have to go around without food.
Charlotte sighed, but didn't tell the blonde girl next to her about these troubles. He walked over to his car, opened the passenger door, and took out the black backpack he had prepared earlier.
"Now that the problem of the remaining strength of the Ghost Tiger has been solved, then we can send that guy on his last ride!"
As he spoke, he took out the ant bottle that had sealed Alexis and now sealed Wei Changhui, and slowly walked to the intersection he had said before.
"Those who have long since died, just stay in the history textbook honestly!"
He smashed the ant bottle at his feet.
"Ah!!h
The dust in the bottle kicked up, turned into a hideous grimace, and slammed into Charlotte. This time, Charlotte was unusually calm.
"You're dead!"
He tapped the grimace lightly with his hand, and the grimace immediately dispersed into a cloud of dust.
The next moment, the dark gates of hell opened open again at Charlotte's feet, and with the magic precipitated here, she sucked in all the grimaces and dust in one go.
"Boom!"
The door is closed!
