Chapter 185: The Land of Resentment
Suddenly, endless flames poured out, like a swept typhoon unfolding a domineering rage.
His vision was dyed red, his ears were filled with the sound of flames fluttering, and the space in front of Zhou Yao's eyes was all swallowed up by flames.
In terms of power, it is not at all comparable to the roar of the fire dragon.
Whether it's the range of the attack, or the intensity of the attack, or something else.
Even if it's the two skills of fire in the fire, it can't work.
"It's powerful enough."
Wiping away the remaining embers from the corners of his mouth, Zhou Yao sighed.
The flaming typhoon gradually dissipated, leaving in front of him the trajectory of the shelling.
The originally flat land was directly pushed out of a large tunnel, and the shadow of the undead three-headed dog could no longer be found in it.
Under the roar of the Flame Dragon King, even if it had a first-class regeneration ability, it could only turn to ashes.
After the battle, Sakuya and Tsuki, who had avoided it early, returned to Zhou Yao's side.
"Master, since it's settled, let's leave quickly."
Sakuya said with a slightly wrong expression.
She looked a little distressed and confused, but at the same time there was a hint of annoyance, and the mixture took a small place on her otherwise expressionless face.
"Well, wait a minute, let me make up for it."
Zhou Yao glanced at the changes in Sakiya, and reached into the space of the night to take out the bright red fruit.
The mana has been almost depleted along the way, and it's time to replenish it.
In order to prepare for the next big play, you have to be well prepared.
"Let's go."
Eating the fruit happily, Zhou Yao said.
"Over here"
The moon showed the exact direction and led the way ahead.
Soon, it didn't take much time for the trio to reach their destination.
It is a city surrounded by gray mist.
The fog on the outermost part is not particularly thick, so you can see the appearance of the buildings, but in the depths of the city you can only see the gray patch.
And I don't know what the reason is, before he stepped into the city, Zhou Yao felt a chill deep into his bones.
It made him feel like he had come to a ghost town.
"Usually this is the development of a horror movie, and suddenly I don't want to go in." Zhou Yao thought to himself.
But they have all stood here, and there is no reason to go back.
So he looked at Tsutsuki and asked.
"That's what you call the source? Can Sakiya's Dark Fog be upgraded here? ”
Yin Yue nodded and said, "Yes." Here it is, indeed. I felt the call of my compatriots, of new life, of freedom. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yao asked with a frown.
There is no doubt that the purpose of coming here is to upgrade the Dark Mist, but he does not have an in-depth understanding of other information.
It's not that I don't want to understand, but I have been ignoring it.
For example, the existence of the source land, he only knows that it is somehow related to the dark fog.
"I have undergone a long evolution through the blood of the Dead Apostles and have attained the 'Dead Body', but the remaining tens of thousands of my compatriots are still bound here in the body of resentment. They are all praying, praying for the continuation of the life that has not yet begun. ”
Xianyue carefully reported the situation of the source, and since then Zhou Yao has finally mastered the complete ins and outs.
Once upon a time, there were tens of thousands of prostitutes in London.
At that time, abortion technology was still quite backward and crude. Children who could have been born normally are disposed of like garbage.
The bodies of the babies were thrown into the river near the eastern end of the city, and resentment continued to accumulate in this chaotic river.
The resentment of tens of thousands of babies who were rejected even for birth gradually began to take the form of young girls.
The girl couldn't help but shout "Mommy" to a woman she met, only to be insulted, and she was so upset that she killed her.
Then she kills the others, and before she knows it, she has been given the name "Jack the Ripper".
After killing several people, a certain magician realized that this series of strange killings was a crime from a demonic being, so he cleaned her up early. Jack the Ripper just disappeared into the darkness.
The above is the origin of the Heroic Spirit's "Jack the Ripper", and the eastern end of the city where the river is located is the one in front of you.
Originally, after the birth of the girl, tens of thousands of resentments disappeared.
Even after being killed in the end, it still did not change, as the name "Jack the Ripper" had spread widely.
She was thus included in the ranks of the Heroic Spirits.
But I never thought that the end would come. The shattering of the old Valhalla led to the demise of the vast majority of Immortal spirits, including her.
Jack the Ripper did die, but as the source of her birth, the tens of thousands of resentments did not die. Instead, he returned to his hometown and continued to wander.
This is the city in front of you.
Even though the whole of Britain became the Old World, it remained here.
Resentful, cursed. Their desperate and unusually short lives.
But at the same time, they are waiting, praying, praying that one day they will be reborn.
Then Sakiya appeared and came to this world with a dark fog.
Her presence, her essence, is simply the second "Jack the Ripper", giving hope to the wandering resentment.
It just so happened that he was touched by the only one who could break away from the shackles of the source.
It's like a God-given opportunity.
Where don't you hold on to tens of thousands of grievances?
"I understand the ins and outs, which means that the dark fog of Sakiya is the key to rescuing tens of thousands of resentments?"
After listening to a series of narrations by Yan Yue, he mainly nodded in understanding.
In a word, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If you want to escalate the dark fog, you must deal with tens of thousands of grievances in the city.
It is uncertain how it will be dealt with and what kind of outcome it will be.
From Zhou Yao's personal point of view, it is a transaction with unknown risks and attractive returns.
"That's right." Yan Yue nodded slightly.
"What's wrong with Sakiya?!"
Zhou Yao looked at Sakuya beside him, and wanted to ask her opinion, but was frightened by her expression.
Negative emotions such as anger, resentment, sadness, fear, etc., converge on one cheek and look even more terrifying than a hideous ghost face.
“…… Ah, what did you say, master? ”
Sakiya's cheeks stiffened, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
The chaotic mood of the past is gone.
"You just ...... Forget it, it's fine. ”
Looking at Sakiya's reaction, he knew that the expression just now was not from him, and Zhou Yao felt that it was in vain to ask.
There is only one reason for this, and that is the city in front of it, which is shrouded in gray fog.
It must be something like resentment inside that affects Sakiya.
Just like the chill he felt to his bones, Sakiya must have felt something deeper. (To be continued.) )
