Chapter 176: Start Doing Boss Today (2-in-1 Chapter)

Whether it is reality, or film and television dramas. The United States always has an advantage that Chinese envy, and it is vast and sparsely populated. It's full of those kind of independent towns. Hundreds of miles away can only see the remote town of the city. Sleepy Valley is one of them.

Hundreds of years have passed, and countless secrets that once happened here have been forgotten. All that's left is a seemingly ordinary town. However, not all secrets can be buried in the ground for long. At least not the secrets of this town. In some dark depths, some of the beings who should be buried in the darkness are already on the rise.

Abby is a police officer in Sleepy Hollow. Her parents died early, and only one sister depended on her. However, his sister was identified as mentally abnormal and had a certain tendency to violence. So he spends all the year in psychiatric hospitals, as well as in regulated hospitals.

All of this started with an encounter they had as a child. More than ten years ago, when they came home from school, they passed by the forest and saw four strange poplar trees. In front of the poplar tree there is also a shadow of a demon. Maybe it's because mortals can't look at demons directly. Abby and Jenny fainted.

When they woke up, they were naturally asked what had happened. Jenny spoke up to what they saw. But rightfully so, it is considered a lie. Abby is more mature in her thinking, and lies that the two of them just accidentally fell asleep in the woods. On the contrary, he escaped the interrogation of adults. But it hurt Jenny because of it.

Since then, Jenny has been labeled as a liar, delusional, and the like. But Jenny never admitted that she lied, so much so that she was eventually identified as a delusional psychopath. This also led to the two sisters turning against each other and failing to reconcile for many years.

For a long time, Abby had been trying to reconcile with her sister. But now that Abby is finished, she doesn't have time to review the reconciliation with her sister. Because the town is being clouded by a serial homicide.

It's a remote and peaceful town. Abby's biggest case since taking the job was nothing more than stealing a car. And it's a second-hand broken pickup truck. A series of murders has plunged this otherwise peaceful town into a panic.

What is puzzling is that the death of the deceased is extremely strange. All the dead were beheaded to death. The blow was fatal, and the wound was burned by the heat, and not a single trace of blood flowed out. To date, the Section has not been able to ascertain what exactly was the weapon. It also makes it harder to solve serial homicides.

At night, Abby made her rounds as usual. Naturally sensitive, she has a faint feeling that something might happen tonight. His partner, Corbyn, who is also the town's sheriff, is also constantly frowning. For some reason, Abby always felt that the sheriff seemed to know more about serial murders. But for some reason, he didn't communicate with the others.

An alarm call alarms Abby in thought. A farm called the police, and it was said that someone had broken into his stable. Abby and Corbyn immediately rushed to the scene. It's just that what happened on the scene stunned Abby.

A duel between two knights. Yes, that's what Abby and Corbyn saw. One of them was dressed in a British ** suit from the Revolutionary War and was armed with a huge battle axe. The axe glows a scorching red. It's the color of steel when it's burned red. It looks like it's at least a thousand degrees Celsius.

But that's not the point, the point is, the knight doesn't have a head. The lights in the stables weren't very bright, but they were good enough to see clearly, it was a Headless Horseman. Riding a strange gray war horse with red eyes.

And the other is just as weird. It was a knight in black medieval full-body armor. His face was shrouded in darkness, and only blood-red eyes could be seen. It wields a knight's heavy sword and rides an even more eerie black demon horse. The black demon horse looks tall, but it doesn't make the slightest sound when it runs. It can even run freely on the trunk of a tree on a wall.

The strength of the Black Knight is significantly higher than that of the Headless Horseman. But the Headless Horseman is as undead as he can't be killed. No matter how many scars the Black Knight left on him, in an instant, they would all heal.

Abby looked at Corbyn beside her, only to see that the other party was equally surprised. But he didn't show much fear and seemed to have some understanding of the situation.

"Tell me I wasn't mistaken. Everything in front of me is real. Abby panicked and asked Corbin for help.

"Calm down, Abby. I also saw two supernatural knights fighting. It's not something we can participate in. Just wait and see what happens. ”

"Why don't you feel scared?"

"I've seen similar situations, more than once." Listen Abby, I want you to go home right now, get some good sleep, and forget about what happened tonight. You shouldn't be down this path.

While the two were talking in a whisper, the situation on the field changed again. I saw a third person appear on the battlefield. A black-robed wizard-like figure appeared on the side of the battlefield. A dark whisper rang out all around.

It was a strange sound made by the black-robed man, like a spell or something. Despite the distance, Abby could clearly hear the whisper in her ear. The uncomfortable feeling made her almost faint.

At this time, Corbyn took out two silver coins and put them on Abby's ear. The whisper was still there, but the feeling of vertigo disappeared in an instant.

"It's okay, it's not an attack on us, so it's not a big deal. These two commemorative coins from the founding of the People's Republic of China are more than enough to offset that negative effect. ”

Abby had a stomach full of questions to ask. But the situation on the field is completely decided. Countless black chains appeared out of thin air, directly entwining the Headless Horseman in place. It writhed desperately, but the restraint was unimaginably powerful. Immediately afterwards, the black knight swung the knight's sword in his hand and stabbed directly into the headless horseman's chest. This time the Headless Horsemann didn't get back on his feet. His body was still shaking, which meant it wasn't dead. But its ability to heal itself has been suppressed.

What was happening in front of him made Corbyn a little frightened. In fact, the first time he saw the Headless Horseman, he recognized it as the famous Death Knight. But the mysterious black knight who fought it was no longer in his knowledge. And the black-robed wizard who appeared later was able to suppress the death knight.

Corbyn was a veteran of the inner world, but what was in front of him made it clear to him. This is definitely not an event that he can meddle in. Thinking of this, he pulled up Abby, who had already looked at him, turned around and left.

With the strength of the three dark creatures present, their existence has definitely been discovered. It is the right choice to leave decisively before the other party has expressed hostility.

"We're just leaving?" Abby was still a little unwilling.

"Do you still want to go up and arrest them, on what charges, and on which ones?"

"Uh, Abby was stunned. Only then did she come back to her senses, and everything just now was obviously some kind of supernatural event. Obviously, it can't be done with a police badge. ”

"Abby, listen to me, go back to sleep, and forget about tonight. Trust me, you don't want to get involved with this stuff. ”

Tonight is a night that Abby will never forget. The other two are also fresh in their memories. Angela and Isabel, who are fighting for the first time using the power of the Ring. The two also worked together to do this, and Angela used a knight's template. Isabel, on the other hand, uses the wizard template. The opponent is not an easy person, the most important thing is that from beginning to end, Lin Xuan did not show up at all. Leave everything to the two of them.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this. I've cut it at least thirty more times. But it was completely impossible to actually do him harm. ”

"I guess it's the death knight of the Bible. Lin Xuan asked us to bring it back alive. ”

"Death Knight? That's one of the Four Horsemen of the World. Could it be that this world is going to be destroyed? ”

"Hehe, I've found out since I entered the inner world. All worlds involving the supernatural, without exception, are facing destruction at any time. It's just that there are always people like us who show up at critical times to save the world. I don't think it feels like a Hollywood movie. ”

"The Death Knight has appeared, and the next three are probably not far away."

"Well, it looks like Lin Xuan is planning to gather all the four knights. He still has seven rings in his hand anyway. I just don't know what to use for the last three. ”

"It's not something we think about. Let's bring this guy back first. It's almost dawn, and it seems that the Death Knight can't appear in the sun. ”

In this world, countless myths and legends, anecdotes, are always confirmed by some clues. Those legendary objects, creatures in the dark, are always looming. This gave birth to a special group of hunters. They specialize in unearthing hidden monuments, legends, and history. Look for items with mystical powers. They are the treasure hunters of the inner world. On the black market, there are always people who pay a lot of money for those strange items. For this reason, countless treasure hunters have followed one after another. And those dangerous relics don't know how many nameless hunters have been buried.

Recently, there has been a super buyer on the black market. It is said that he offered double the market price for all the mysterious items, of any kind, all of which were within his purchasing. And several reputable treasure hunters have proven it.

Moreover, the mysterious gold lord has also released several special missions. They are the Book of Enoch from Jewish legends, the Sword of Enoch, the Encyclopedia of Dark Arts from the 16th century, the All-Seeing Eye, and many other names that even treasure hunters have never heard of.

Underground of the Sleepy Valley Historical Archives. Lin Xuan was looking through a pile of mysterious items collected from the black market.

There are all kinds of things, from Buddha statues in the East, to gold coins and crowns in the West, as well as some artifacts from ancient Egypt, and even some sacrificial objects of the ancient Aztecs or Mayans. Almost all of the items carry some supernatural powers. But after most of Lin Xuan saw it, he casually threw it aside. With his current level of strength, most of them can only be used as collectibles, and they cannot substantially improve him.

It wasn't until he picked up a stone disc fragment that Lin Xuan finally became serious.

Simple, quaint, ancient runes that point straight to the origin. Although there are only a few simple remnants of symbols. But Lin Xuan could still deduce a lot of things. To put it simply, this is a treasure similar to Lin Xuan's Life Ring. The fragment contains a huge amount of life energy, and if channeled in the right way, the user will become one with the life force within it, thus gaining immortality and immortality.

'Philosopher's Stone', or a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone. The vitality contained in this is far greater than Lin Xuan's life ring. This made Lin Xuan quite interested.

"Nevins, find out who shot this runestone. I need everything he knows. ”

Nevins was a subordinate recruited by Lin Xuan in this world. That is, the mercenary who worked for Pandora in the original book. is a veteran treasure hunter. Knows everything on the black market inside out.

"Got it, but if it's this runestone. There's also a little bit of a problem, there's another group of people looking for it as well. I feel like you need to know about it. ”

"Who is it?"

"It's a guy named Drafs who runs a tech company in Washington. A tycoon-level character, there is a mercenary who is secretly responsible for collecting these mysterious things. They are very well-informed, and they may already know that the rune stone is in your hands. ”

"It's that guy, so he probably already has more than one rune stone fragment on his hand, right? In that case, Nevins, you go and get them for me. ”

"There's a small army on the other side. There may be no small amount of resistance. ”

"No, I'm sure you can fix it all, right? Nevins. ”

Lin Xuan forgot about Nevins with a deep meaning. For a moment, Vince felt like his back was wet. He suddenly woke up to the fact that this guy in front of him was no ordinary human. I'm afraid it's some unknown demon who has changed up. He had never seen such a powerful supernatural power in anyone. And the two twins under his command, who actually captured the legendary Death Knight last night.

Nevins was a connoisseur, and he could tell at a glance that it was a living death knight. One of the legendary Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a legendary being among the dark creatures. But it was amazing to be dragged back like the twin dead dogs. At that moment, he put away all his thoughts. Because he knew he had no room for resistance.

After Nevins left, Lin Xuan stood up and walked around the room casually. It was originally a secret base established by Washington during the American Revolution. Used to imprison and collect some transcendent things. At the same time, it also records a large number of American secrets of the world. Lin Xuan was still extremely interested in this. He deliberately used magic to transform this base as a stronghold of his own.

Thinking back carefully to the previous worlds, many of Lin Xuan's actions were really a bit radical. Even if there are various means of saving life, as well as the advantage of being familiar with the plot. But facing the various demon gods still made him feel quite stressed. Therefore, in this world, Lin Xuan chose a world with more benefits, but not a high degree of danger.

There is also more than one god and demon in this world. But not to mention that strength, Lin Xuan estimated it based on the strength of the Death Knight. Even if the guy named 'The Hidden One' was completely revived, Lin Xuan was sure to suppress him absolutely. However, this time Lin Xuan didn't plan to have a head-on confrontation, in this world, he planned to hide in the shadows and secretly take advantage of it, and be a behind-the-scenes **oss.
