If Buckingham Palace is the earthly residence of the British royal family in the material world, then Westminster Abbey, which is slightly less famous, is the spiritual cycle of life and death of the royal family, and the place where the immortal soul of the millennium is located.

Westminster Abbey, officially known as St. Peter's United Church, is located on the southwest side of Parliament Square in London, England. It was originally built in 1050 by order of the religious king Edward the Confessor, and was completed in 1065. The existing church was rebuilt in 1245 under Henry III, and was added to it until the end of the 15th century.

The plan of the church is in the shape of a Latin cross, with a total length of 156 meters, a width of 22 meters, a large dome height of 31 meters, and a bell tower of 68.5 meters high. Westminster Abbey is not only the chapel of the Anglican Church, but also the grand hall where the coronations of kings and the weddings of royal family members are held, and it is also a state funeral mausoleum.

According to legend, on a tombstone in this royal mausoleum, a widely circulated last word eulogy is inscribed.

"When I was younger, my imagination was never limited and I dreamed of changing the world. When I matured, I realized that I couldn't change the world, so I shortened my horizons and decided to change only my country. As I entered the twilight years, I realized that I could not change my country, and my last wish was just to change my family. ”

This straightforward but touching confession is naturally only a beautiful lie exhortation, because there is no written record of this tombstone in the real St. Peter's Church. However, although the story is false, the sincerity of the emotions in his words is out of heartfelt regret, and it is only inferred from the facts that when the unknown author finally woke up, it was already in the twilight of life, and the family that had experienced the changes of the times was almost fragmented, even if he had a heart, there was no chance of recovery.

"It's okay...... I have the power to redeem everything. The young adventurer, who was standing quietly in front of this heirloom mausoleum, suddenly remembered that story and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

Looking from outside the church, this majestic bell tower building that embodies the belief in light is bathed in the dark clouds and inky sky, and even though it is late at night, the sky is still dark and gloomy to the point of eeriity. Thousands of meters away, clouds like viscous ink surged, absorbing the vast gray fog of the whole of London, and the black fog spiraled up like a spiral, turning into a rolling black curtain that shrouded the heavens and the earth, and diffused with a magic that seemed to suppress people's hearts.

From the "Ring of Silence" array in the hands of the black witch Farina, the natural disaster power that set off the dark night in the magical civilization revealed a hideous color in this other world.

The twelve grand cemeteries and churches in London have all replaced the operation of the Psychic Tower under the "Ice Orb" floating in it, and the sea of resentment of the dead that has been accumulated by no one for thousands of years in this world is awakened and boiled at this moment, and under the operation of the otherworldly circle, the resentment of the dead who could not interfere with the real world is transformed into undead magic with an exaggerated loss of one hundred to one, and then flows along the fog of the entire London, turning into a "big circle" that encompasses most of the city.

The axis of the circle is Buckingham Palace, the inheritance of the royal family of this country, and the center of the millennium of British fortune. At this time, the endless undead followed the order and surrounded the city, seemingly prominent and terrifying, and the mist that really flowed with magic power had actually completed the soaking cycle in the sky above the city along the twelve pipes, and the magic of death hit the castle's lingering heroic spirit at the same time, it also dissipated the resentment and impurities of the dead, leaving only the purest and most cold magical power, and the large gray mist purified into wisps of black smoke and flowed in the other direction.

Therefore, in the natural disaster of this night, Buckingham Palace is the place where the power of the undead is the most powerful at this time, but the source of the most refined and exploitable death magic surging in the city is the mausoleum of the King of England - "St. Peter's United Church".

It's also where Rorschach is truly a destination.

The place where he was at this time was the rear nave inside this majestic church, which belonged to the corner front door of the twin towers of the monastery. Under the diamond-shaped white glass chandeliers on the ceiling, the entire spacious and gorgeous hall was illuminated with a greatly changed layout, and countless colorful art exhibits were mercilessly swept aside, piled up in a corner of the room like garbage, and in the center of the hall was a crystal clear ice corpse.

The quiet girl with long purple hair, wearing pure white spiritual clothes, seemed to be asleep, her eyes were slightly closed, and she lay quietly in it.

Rorschach stood silently in front of the corpse, but his heart leisurely remembered the self who had just stepped into the infinite space.

In fact...... It's also scared.,Facing the evil ghost who eats people and divides the corpse.,The evil magic scum who plays with the soul.,The unreasonable crazy and stubborn hero.,At that time,,I was far from being as calm and calm as I imagined.......

What really allowed me to grit my teeth and survive was not so much driven by the desire to survive, but because I suddenly had the support of my companions......

For so many years, I have been lonely and struggling, but my only wish is to find a partner who will never leave me...... Just think of yourself as a person anymore...... You don't have to love someone or anything, as long as you can talk and comfort your peers......

When you think of it, you can hold hands and face what is in front of you together...... I feel like my heart is filled with a lot of rich and warm things...... What fear, what fear, what monsters like evil spirits, all of a sudden I just felt ridiculous......

So......

"You are the ones who brought me into this cycle...... Then I won't let you leave halfway," Rorschach lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Even death will tremble before me...... This is no joke. ”

"On this journey of the infinite train, I will not allow you to evade the ticket."

As he said this, Rorschach, dressed in a black dress, stretched out his right hand. The dark light bloomed from his palm little by little, and in the blink of an eye, everything around him suddenly darkened, or rather, at this moment, his entire body seemed to turn into a brilliant black diamond, bathed in the brilliant glory of black goose down, and the glazed white light refracted against the ceiling became dimmed.

“~！ @#￥￥%……&*（）。 ”

As the incantation sounded that he himself did not understand, the dark sky above the kilometer slowly shook, and the thick clouds burned and stirred like boiling water, and as countless black lightning bolts flashed, the ocean-like death force turned into flowing black water, surging downward like a tumbling and winding dragon, and finally these undercurrents flowed down the Gothic bell tower of this heirloom church and the pointed crosses of the monastery on both sides.

"Knock ――――――"

From a distance of a kilometer, the sky looks like a dark hurricane with three howls, and a long, narrow tornado spins along the famous triple spire of St. Peter's United Cathedral. The entire golden and light-symbolizing church mausoleum seemed to be soaked in a sea of viscous black water from the inside out, and an immeasurable torrent of darkness poured down to the center of the hall in front of the church, where the corpse was kept, and in front of the altar where Rorschach stood.

Time flies, and this ancient altar, which has witnessed the coronation and funeral of the English king for 300 years, and has experienced glory and storms, once again glows with pure black brilliance, and countless magic from the ceiling of the church flows like a real spring, filling the stone platform of the ring, making the altar in front of the hall look like a peaceful lake, and the ice crystal coffin where the corpse is stored has turned into an island in the mirror lake.

Rorschach stared over, suddenly took out a short blade, slit his wrist, splashed a large amount of scarlet blood, and then gave the final ritual order.

"Resurrect it...... My warriors. ”

"Gurgling ――――――"

The pitch-black spring water melted into the blood-red color, as if it heard some kind of call, spontaneously surging and tumbling, countless bubbles bursting and gushing, and the ice coffin that sealed the corpse began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, as the outer layer of ice crystals completely melted, countless seemingly filthy black torrents finally soaked into the body of the fair-skinned beauty, wrapping it layer by layer, and the corrosive black water touched the delicate skin, but it strangely glowed with a fiery and life-rich hot aura.

The water level of the spring began to slowly drop, and the cold and lifeless female corpse in it began to exude a dead and vigorous vitality at the same time.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

With the thunderous heartbeat, the pale and poignant face of the purple-haired girl was gradually dyed with a touching red color, and the breath of life diffused from her body began to slowly improve from scratch.

Black Iron Rank Lower ...... Black Iron Grade Median ...... At the bronze level, when that sweet face showed a distorted and uncomfortable look, in Rorschach's induction, the strength of the corpse queen had completely surpassed the original level, reaching the bronze level, and it was only a thin line away from the silver level of Azeroth, who was known as a legendary hero.

At this time, the water level of the black spring has only dropped by one-third.

"Is that all......" Rorschach nodded slightly disappointed, not surprised.

He used the means of resurrecting the corpse and came from the world of Azeroth in the previous world.

Although in the blueprint of that world - that is, in the online game "World of Warcraft", almost any legal player can skillfully use the "resurrection technique" to resurrect a teammate who died in battle, but after all, that is only set for gameplay considerations, and for a data character, the "death" in the game can only be regarded as a serious injury state that falls to the ground, and deleting the number to erase the character can be the real death. Therefore, even in a world where magical civilizations like Azeroth have multiplied to the extreme, there are very few feats of true resurrection in history.

And among these extremely rare miracles of resurrection, there is only one intersection with the villain force Scourge Legion. That is, after Arthas fell into a death knight, he led a million undead to break through the thousand-year-old elven holy city, used the urn of his biological father King Lordaeron as a sacrificial sacrifice, and threw himself into the "Well of the Sun", the source of magic of the entire elven clan, sacrificing the huge power of the magic source of the entire Azeroth, thus successfully resurrecting the great lich "Kel'thugad".

However, even this resurrection is extremely flawed, because Kel'thugad, who was reborn from the dead, was not reborn as a living flesh and blood, but became a great lich who placed his soul in a life box, and was essentially nothing more than a transformation from a dead person to another undead, rather than a successful resurrection in the general sense. It can be seen that even the Scourge Legion actually has no real way to resurrect.

But if it is not necessary to force the true rebirth of the heavens, and only slightly bring the dead back to the world, the means in this camp specializing in death are rich and diverse. And what Rorschach used was the most famous "Ghoul Contract" among the evil talents of the Death Knights.

In the game, among the three talents of the Death Knight's blood, frost, and filth, the evil talent is the closest embodiment of necromantic power, and in the player's hands, its difference from the others is that it can contract an independent ghoul and let it fight with the player as a hunter's pet. This talent also exists in the real world, but it requires an extremely large source of magic power to make a contract, and as a death knight who is a contractor, he must also have psychic talents.

Unfortunately, there is no shortage of these two conditions. Originally, this kind of monster that was resurrected by this kind of crippled means, the corpse will also become the ugly appearance of the ghoul, and the mental soul of its life will not be one in ten, although it can leap into the same level of power as the adventurer forever, but it can only be regarded as a combat puppet turned into a corpse. However, the corpse queen, or the two corpse queens in Rorschach's hand, happen to be a unique special case.

Because...... The so-called "corpse queen" is itself an active corpse that has simulated intelligence but does not have real intelligence, and since there is no sane soul when it acts, what is not there in the first place, after becoming a ghoul, will "zero" become "one-tenth of zero"?

As for the deformation, Rorschach didn't think about it at all. The reason why the body of the deceased will be deformed into a ghoul is essentially because the physical structure of ordinary people cannot withstand the violent force of death, and the passive mutation is generated. But in real comparison, how can the ghouls of Azeroth adapt to the power of death more than the high-level undead "Corpse Queen", who is himself from another world?

"My only concern is ...... Are you still 'you'? Rorschach looked at the ceremony that was coming to an end, and suddenly became a little nervous, and his mind suddenly recalled the last conversation with the puppet master in the public space.

In fact, in the last three days, in order to find a way to resurrect the corpse, Rorschach conducted a total of more than ten inquiries and surveys of different levels and departments, and the consultation fee alone consumed thousands of survival points, and those undead cultivators who were at least silver were all conclusive, affirming the realization of his conjecture. However, only one gold-level puppet adventurer who happened to pass by, because of the difference in his art and karma, instead came out of his own machine and put forward his own different opinions.

"This corpse servant of yours, although it was originally the work of that group of madmen, seems to have undergone a secondary mutation of some kind of death-based power, and has derived its own consciousness. However, this kind of spirituality is different from the soul of the independent body of the living, but is more similar to the acquired spirituality of the instrument, as if it is the consciousness aggregate of the zombie 'drought' or 'witch' in the Eastern world, which is one with the physical body. In other words, when a sword is damaged and re-forged, the material has actually changed, so is it still not the sword you are familiar with? ”

The answer to this question almost involves the deepest mysteries of the soul, so much so that the master who almost has insight into the mysteries of artificial souls can only vaguely detect one or two, but after all, he is not an adventurer specializing in the necromantic family, but he cannot come up with an accurate answer, and in the end he can only vaguely reveal it, leaving only the conclusion that "there may be some variations".

In any case, as the purple-haired girl's aura no longer climbs, and gradually stabilizes at the bronze level, it also means that the ritual of the "Ghoul Twin Contract" has also come to the final step.

Normally, other death knights make contracts, and at this point, they only need to split their own soul fragments and fill them into the fragmented chaotic consciousness in the ghoul's body, so as to complete the final "completion". In this way, this simple monster that only knows how to kill will become another clone that only obeys the main body.

Rorschach took a deep breath, as if embracing, spread his hands, and was about to use the secret method to shatter a trace of his soul, when a cold flash suddenly burst out from his waist, and the light then turned from faint to thick, and in the blink of an eye, his body was shrouded in a pale blue light.

…… Not good! This is......

Rorschach was shocked, only to feel that suddenly the world was spinning, and the entire consciousness expanded by a hundredfold, and in an instant, he had a panoramic view of this magnificent and majestic church, and then continued to expand, straight into the dark sky, and finally his physical body could not withstand the spiritual power that suddenly rose to the limit, and once again "squeezed" his consciousness out.

Rorschach had always used this crystal fragment embedded in his waist as a source of power to provide inexhaustible corrosive life force, but he forgot that this treasure was essentially a super secret treasure of spiritual amplification before it was demonized by the Lich King.

It was only then that the omission he had inadvertently committed finally detonated.

What's more, when the Rorschach spirit body floating in mid-air was about to return to his body, an inexplicable throbbing suddenly rose, which made him subconsciously turn his head to look over, and he was shocked.

"Gollum Gollum Gurr

In the last step of the ritual, after a long delay in the incomplete will, the body with the shattered consciousness was finally unable to suppress the rampaging magic in the body, and the instinctive disregard for the load of the body began to absorb the power again, and the huge source of the remaining two-thirds of the space around it immediately resonated spontaneously. Thus, the fountain of magic that had been transformed from the power of death in the whole of London boiled again.

Looking at the pale girl with a painful face and her body almost bursting, Rorschach took a deep breath and finally made a final decision: "It's too late...... Let the ritual be complete first, and then separate the spirit and return to the body, if it drags on, I am afraid that this church will be destroyed by the death magic of the riot, and that will be the real end. ”

The soul was originally a wavelength of energy that ignored spatial distance, and almost at the moment of Rorschach's thoughts, the ghost floating in mid-air had turned into a pale blue streamer and entered the trembling body of the beauty.

At the same time, Rorschach's body, which had lost his soul and should have been frozen in place, suddenly showed a mysterious smile, and took the first step to draw a sharp short blade from his waist, and then directly inserted it into the heart of the corpse who had not yet recovered.

It's just that in the next second, a hand as white as jade gently stepped up and pinched the wrist holding the knife.

"Ah...... I've been waiting for you for a long time......" The girl's sweet and childish voice sounded faintly.
