19 Invitation to the Strange Tales Workshop
What happens when a creator who thinks he is omniscient and omnipotent is deprived of his "building mode" privileges?
To find out, look no further than Brock.
"Don't ...... In this way, don't kill me...... Please! β
The "Creator", who was still invincible just now, let out a heart-rending scream, but he couldn't exchange even a faint trace of mercy.
Carremont, who transforms into Frankenstein, punches so hard that the space around her trembles. Under the terrifying power of the attack, Brock was soon beaten into a puddle of mud, and he could not see the human form at all.
"It's over."
Shaking the drops of blood from his fist, Carremont looked back.
"Well, let's go."
Frankenstein nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he created a wooden gate in the deep darkness behind him.
It was only at this time that the upside-down hanged man, who had been in a sluggish state, finally woke up like a dream, shook his head violently, and asked in confusion: "What happened just now?" β
"Let's go." Zhang Luo patted him on the back as he passed by.
With the death of the "Creator", this disgusting paradise is collapsing faster than before. If you don't leave quickly, it may be too late!
Passing through the space door opened by Frankenstein, the ensuing dizziness was like riding a high-speed roller coaster, and when the scene in front of him was finally fixed, Zhang Luo found that he had appeared in the original ward.
"Welcome back." The girl in white named "Frankenstein" shook her head, and then immediately sat on Zhang Luo's hospital bed, shaking her legs weakly.
Zhang Luo looked around, except for the fact that it was a little cramped because of the large number of people, there was no change in the ward.
Remembering the truth that Bullock said earlier, he immediately asked, "Is the place I went to just now really 'inner world', or is it a rewrite of the real world?" β
Hearing this, Frankenstein snapped his fingers at Carremon: "Little card, explain." β
Karemont cleared his throat: "Of course, what was just now was the real 'inner world'. With that Brock's ability, he couldn't overwrite the real world at all, not even Lord Frankenstein. Only a handful of people possess that level of ability. β
"I see." Zhang Luo smiled.
ββSince Brock doesn't have that ability, then what Brock said just now that "killing monsters is actually killing people" is just a lie.
In this way, I don't have to worry about the appearance of the murderer being photographed by the surveillance, which will bring unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhang Luo asked, "So, what should I do next?" β
In the previous train incident, he passed out directly in the end, so I don't know how they "dealt with the aftermath". However, this time it should be much easier to deal with than the last large-scale accident.
"Aftermath......" Frankenstein tilted his head to stare at the hanged man who had just placed the nurse on the chair next to him.
"I'm from the killing force, and I'll take care of the aftermath." The upside-down hangman panicked and immediately gave a military salute.
"Then I'll trouble you, hanged man." Zhang Luo patted him on the shoulder.
Hearing this, the hanged man immediately explained, "I also have a name!" My name is ......."
"I don't think anyone here cares what your name is." Zhang Luo interrupted him.
Before the words fell, Carremont stepped forward and slapped Zhang Luo on the back, almost knocking him to the ground with such force:
"Boy, you saved the Kill Force guys? That's great! β
"How?" Zhang Luo looked back at Frankenstein behind him.
A hideous smile appeared on Karemon's blood-soaked metal face: "Those fools of the killing troops, even though they know that we are not enemies, are always looking for trouble with us. You saved their people this time, these bastards owe us a favor, and probably won't bother us anymore. β
Hearing this, Zhang Luo, Frankenstein and Karemont all set their eyes on the upside-down hanged man at the same time. Seeing that the situation was not good, the upside-down hangman was busy making a statement:
"We'll never bother you again! I'm so sorry before! β
After the hanged man finished speaking, the girl in white jumped out of bed, stood on tiptoe and touched his head, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, good." β
Then, she turned her head to look at Zhang Luo and asked, "Come along?" β
"Of course." Zhang Luo smiled.
After throwing the pot of "solving the aftermath problem" to the hanged man, the three of them left the inpatient building that had returned to normal and came to the courtyard of the hospital.
Overhead, the starry sky is shining, and the Milky Way in summer is even more brilliant than in other seasons. Although it is the end of August, there is still a faint chill in the night air.
"What's next?" Zhang Luo asked.
Adhering to the principle of laziness, Frankenstein waved his hand to Carremont beside him, and the tall murderer immediately stepped forward and asked:
"Boy, you have a lot of potential, do you want to join the 'Strange Talk Research Society'?"
"What kind of organization is that?" Hearing the name of this second-rate club that was a bit like a university, Zhang Luo frowned slightly.
"We're 'executioners' hunting traitors, but that's just a side hustle. Lord Frankenstein is very interested in heretical creatures and legends in various places, so he established the 'Strange Tales Workshop' to investigate all kinds of strange things. Carremont explained.
Before Zhang Luo could answer, Frankenstein added: "I'm very busy at work." β
"Yes, we travel the world frequently in search of heretical creatures and ancient technologies that are not documented. For example, our next goal is to go to the Himalayas to investigate the ...... of the 'Yeti'."
Speaking of which, Carremont paused, "Would you like to join this organization?" β
Zhang Luo nodded without hesitation.
ββAs a lover of strange things that often travels around in search of all sorts of paranormal phenomena. Such an organization is like a paradise in his dreams, where is the reason not to join?
"Hmm." The girl in white stretched out her right hand to Zhang Luo: "Bring the mobile phone." β
"The famous Frankenstein doesn't even have a cell phone?" Zhang Luo asked helplessly.
"Radiation is harmful to electrical circuits." Frankenstein said in all seriousness.
After handing the phone to Frankenstein, Zhang Luo saw the girl in white dial a number at a frighteningly fast hand speed, then pressed the speakerphone, and held the phone away from her ear, as if she was holding a time bomb.
Seeing Zhang Luo's speechless expression, Carremont explained: "The mobile phone signal does interfere with us, and it may also cause the 'Executioner's Eye' to malfunction, so try not to use it if you can." β
After a busy tone, a strong and powerful male voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding like a man in an advertisement:
"Which one is stronger in slaying demons and destroying demons? Taoist priest of the Li family helps you! Hello, what service do you need? β
"It's me." Frankenstein said coldly.
"Ugh." The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then immediately turned into a state of distraction: "It turned out to be Lord Frankenstein...... What are you looking for me? β
"There's a new person coming in." Frankenstein is succinct.
"I see," the man whispered......, "bring him here." β
Frankenstein hung up the phone, returned the phone to Zhang Luo, and turned to walk towards a black SUV parked in the hospital parking lot:
"Come with me and take you to the 'liaison'."
