Chapter 34: The Spirit of the Plague
Jonathan suddenly let out an exclamation, Liu Minghao looked for a sound, only to see a black shadow flash in front of him, landing on the eaves on the side, flashing again, a monster similar to an ape, holding the Black Sutra of the Undead in his hand, jumped onto the man's shoulder. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Minghao was about to step forward to stop it, when the ape suddenly opened its mouth and let out a low-pressure roar, and a black mist instantly spread from its body.
"Be careful, it's a miasma." Adesbay suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone was stunned, Liu Minghao felt a sudden stagnation in his chest, and his movements couldn't help but slow down.
The man sneered, jumped onto the eaves, dodged a few times, and disappeared into the night sky.
Everyone stood in place, looking at the empty ridge, and the atmosphere was a little strange for a while.
In times of crisis, the surprise soldier appears, snatches the treasure that has been fought for, makes the enemy miss the opportunity, and then laughs and leaves the field in style.
This should have been a very stylish scene, but looking at the army of cats following closely behind, chasing after them, the back of the flying disappeared into the night, but it was a little more deserted and fled by virtue of whiteness.
Things went too quickly, and Immorton appeared, and everyone seemed to be facing a great enemy, and just mustered up the will to fight, intending to fight to the death, it ended in an inexplicable way very abruptly, as if experiencing a dream, without the slightest sense of reality.
However, the brief silence was soon broken by the growing meow of the cat.
Liu Minghao retracted his gaze and looked helplessly at the number of cats circling around his feet.
Jiang Jie leaned over, handed a water bladder to Liu Minghao with a smile, and blinked quite proudly. "How about my move, the soldiers are bloodless, and they scare Immorton off effortlessly."
After taking the water bladder and cleaning it briefly, Liu Minghao angrily grabbed the fat cat that climbed to the top of his head and stuffed it into Jiang Jie's arms, "What is this, catnip?" ”
Jiang Jie smiled, hugged the fat cat who was constantly struggling to get close to Liu Minghao, and said in a low voice, "How can catnip have such power, this is the pet shop owner's unique secret recipe, such a small bag costs three pounds and gold coins, otherwise why do you think that guide is so red-eyed." ”
Liu Minghao glanced at Jiang Jie speechlessly, there was too much powder on his body, and he couldn't clean it up at all, so he simply didn't pay attention to the furry man who treated him as a cat climbing frame, and said to Adesbay who came over, "What was that thing just now?" ”
Jiang Jie also put away his joking expression and turned his face to look at Adesbell, who was also a little curious about the strange guy who appeared.
"That's the plague god, we call it the plague spirit." Uttering two ancient syllables with obscure pronunciations, Adesbay explained, "I have only seen it in the ancient books of the clan, that it is the attendant of Olisses, the god of death, who is capable of spreading terrible plagues and bringing endless calamities. ”
Liu Minghao frowned slightly, and quickly checked his status, and sure enough, next to his trialist number, there was an extra black skull icon.
Jiang Jie also found that he was now in a state of poisoning.
Jonathan had been circling around Jiang Jie since just now, trying to find out what kind of treasure the powder that repelled Immorton was, and he went to find some himself, and when he heard Adesbell's words, he suddenly remembered the spell that Eve had told him about Immorton.
“…… The cursed spirits will turn into evil spirits that will harm the world, bringing about the ten plagues that will destroy Egypt......"
The three of them fell silent for a moment and looked back at Jonathan, who received three harsh glances and showed a slightly embarrassed smile.
Liu Minghao ignored Jonathan, took out an antidote and stuffed it into his mouth, continued to check the state, and found that there was no change in the slightest, and his face was a little bad, he shook his head at Jiang Jie and looked at Adesbay, "Do you have a way to detoxify?" ”
Seeing that Liu Minghao had no choice, Adesbay showed a hint of disappointment, and then cheered up and said, "But don't worry, let's rush back immediately, maybe the curator can have a way." ”
The identity of the museum director is mysterious, and he has a very special relationship with the guardian, because Eve and others set out to find Hamna Tower, lest they really find the Black Book of the Dead by mistake and release Immorton, leading to irreparable disaster, so they secretly rushed to Fort Byton and notified Adesby to stop it, but it was still a step too late.
After receiving the news of Immorton's resurrection, he stayed in the museum, looking through the books and trying to find a way to save him, and as soon as Adesbay entered Fort Byton, he went to him to seek his help.
……
Returning to the museum, everyone only saw O'Connor and others sitting in a daze in the room, and only after asking did they learn that the curator was in the secret room, and with the assistance of Eve, he was preparing to shield the formation of Immorton's induction, so as to protect their bodies from being damaged by Immorton after Liu Minghao received the souls of the unboxing foursome.
Although he was infected with the virus, everyone was not obviously unwell, but they were not too nervous, and the focus of the discussion naturally focused on how to place the unboxing foursome.
Daniels told Ellen about Liu Minghao's plan, and the four of them had been overwhelmed by Immorton's ubiquitous threat, and they also understood that this plan was undoubtedly the best arrangement at present, but after all, it was to be collected souls, and it was still somewhat difficult to accept in their hearts.
In the end, the four of them discussed it and asked Liu Minghao to release Benny, and it was best to let them see the process of collecting and releasing it with their own eyes, which would help strengthen their confidence.
"It's no problem to revive Benny." Liu Minghao nodded very simply, "But a person's soul, the first time it is collected, it will not be harmed, and the second time it will produce unpredictable changes, which is likely to lead to bad consequences, this risk is extremely high, if you want me to demonstrate, it is not difficult, which of you is willing to be an experiment." ”
This reason was naturally made up by Liu Minghao at will, just to reduce unnecessary trouble.
Even if no one proposes, he intends to free Benny's soul. After all, he had a lot of the inside story of Immorton, especially the sudden appearance of the plague spirit, which always gave him a bad premonition.
On the way back to the museum, he experimented with several more potions, including one that lifted Adesbell's cursed state, but it was still ineffective, which had to make him feel that the problem was serious.
Liu Minghao's expressionless appearance was not easy to speak in the eyes of the four of them, especially when he saw the jackal-headed man standing quietly behind him, hideous and terrifying like a loyal servant, which invisibly increased their psychological burden, so they had to retreat to the second, as long as they could see Benny awake unharmed, they would have no objections and fully cooperate.
O'Connor and Jonathan were also intrigued to learn that Liu Minghao was going to resurrect Benny, and Adesbay did not shy away from witnessing this magical process after seeing the unscathed Hopter.
Soon, Benny was carried into the living room and placed on a three-seater couch.
The curtains in the house were all closed by Jiang Jie, and everyone was required to keep quiet at all times, trying his best to create a mysterious atmosphere.
Liu Minghao took out the soul suppression bottle, stood beside Benny, and waited until Jiang Jie finished tossing, then put on a posture, lowered his head and lowered his eyes slightly, and began to recite the spell of soul collection softly.
It was still according to the previous method, deliberately delaying for some time, and when the tense atmosphere rose to the highest point, everyone unconsciously held their breath before reciting the real incantation.
The vague face of the soul sank into Benny's mouth and nose, and like the previous Hoppt, Benny, who was lying on the couch unconscious, suddenly sat up with a scream.
The foursome sitting across from him was already highly nervous and nervous, and they also shouted and almost jumped to their feet.
Benny was in a trance, and as soon as he saw Liu Minghao in front of him, his face was immediately full of horror, and he jumped off the sofa and rushed to the door.
Without Liu Minghao's move, Jiang Jie easily stopped the rabbit-like Benny, tied him up firmly, dragged him back and threw him on the sofa.
Dealing with a guy like Benny, who is more than slick and lacks IQ, there is no need to threaten and intimidate, as long as a little pressure is exerted, he can immediately reveal all the secrets and dishes.
didn't need Liu Minghao to come out, O'Connor said a few words and an old punch, and Benny, who was trying to get away with nonsense, was honest.
According to Benny, he was accepted as a slave by Immorton because he was proficient in the language of ancient Egyptian slaves, and he was lucky to survive, and this process is basically consistent with the plot of the movie, but when Liu Minghao asked about the trialist and the spirit of the plague, Benny just said that there was indeed a mysterious person wearing a black cloak who had been following Immorton, and it was unknown what the relationship between them was.
"Are you sure there's only one person?" Liu Minghao looked at Benny expressionlessly, his gaze slowly wandered on his face like a knife, and he said in a low voice.
"Only, only one person." Benny leaned back on the back of the chair, looked at Liu Minghao with a little shrunken, and said in unspeakable panic in his eyes, "What I said is true." ”
"Earlier, you said that when talking to Immorton, the mysterious man asked to consider his request, and he was once alone?" Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, and repeated a certain sentence in his chaotic speech word for word.
Benny's eyes widened slightly, looked at Liu Minghao uncertainly, licked the corners of his dry mouth hesitantly, recalled for a moment, and nodded slightly, "That's right, we were in a hall full of gold at the time, but that person just left for a while, and soon returned to the hall, and then I was kicked out by Immorton, I really don't know what they said." ”
Liu Minghao groaned slightly, and did not continue to ask questions on this topic, but instead asked questions about the spirit of the epidemic.
Benny didn't know anything about this, shook his head again and again, and swore that he didn't know.
This time, even the foursome who had been absent-minded all saw that he was trying to hide it.
