Chapter Ninety-Six: The Prince's Ambition
Giant's Causeway, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Causeway.
About 80 kilometres from Belfast's Northern Plains, on the edge of the Atlantic Sea, an eight-kilometre stretch of steep rocky coastline known as the Jaenz Cosway Coast, also known as the Giant's Road, or the Irish Causeway.
Lu Fei, Bloom, Hellboy, Abel, Liz, Tangru Manning, Agent Kerry, and two other young B.P.R.D. agents, a total of ten people appeared on the Giant's Causeway.
It's a desolate stretch of land on the Giant's Causeway, with countless huge stones scattered across the moor, as if it were a desert island.
"Tom Manning, are you sure the information is correct, that the paranormal phenomenon in Northern Ireland is coming from the Great Causeway?" Bloom asked Tom Manning.
Although Hellboy and Tom Manning are at odds, Bloom and Tom Manning are in frequent contact due to their positions, Tom Manning admires Bloom's profound knowledge of paranormalism, and Bloom also shows considerable respect for Tom Manning, and over time, the two have become quite good friends, usually calling him by his first name, although there are still disagreements on some issues.
"Of course, our intelligence is never wrong." Tom Manning said confidently.
"But there's nothing here." Hellboy took the opportunity to pour cold water.
"Wait a minute, the phenomenon here is very messy...... "Fishman Abel has super telepathic ability, he can sense things that ordinary people can't feel, as if he sensed something, the fishman's body is prostrate on the ground, as soon as he makes this action, everyone understands what he is going to do, through the reproduction of the past phenomenon, the fishman Abel's face turned miserable, blinked and said, "It's really unexpected, he actually came here before us." ”
"He? …… Who is he? Hellboy asked with Tom Manning.
"Could it be Prince Ada?" Through Abel's words and expression, Lu Fei had vaguely guessed a few points.
"That's right, it's Prince Ada." Abel the Fishman said, "Prince Ada the Crossbow has been here with the three-headed Cerberus Samoel. ”
As soon as the three words "crossbow Ada" came out, everyone was shocked.
Why is this cruel demon prince again? This demon prince, who has been secretly trying to get involved in the world with the help of various spiritual powers, suddenly appeared in Glacier National Park in northern Montana a day ago, awakening the ancient giant beast Ancient Evil Crocodile that had been sealed under the glacier for nearly a thousand years, and in just one day, he actually ran to Northern Ireland again, what was he going to do? What is happening in Northern Ireland? Could it be that there will be a hell monster that is more powerful than the ancient crocodile?
"Where did Prince Ada go? What about him now? Abel, take a look at it with your reproducibility abilities. "I can't see, my ability to reproduce past phenomena can only see what has happened in the past, and I can't see anything that hasn't happened yet, I'm not a prophet." Abel the fish-man said, "The trail of Prince Ada the crossbow...... It seems to end here. ”
"What did you say?" The Hellboy said indignantly, "Are you saying that Prince Ada is gone and disappeared here?" How could he disappear from here with the three-headed Cerberus, could he still burrow into the ground? ”
"It's not impossible." Fishman Abel said.
The fish-man Abel reminded everyone that everyone was looking at the ground under their feet, and Prince Ada would really burrow into the ground? Could it be that there is another world hidden beneath this earth? Abel's ability to reproduce past phenomena has never been wrong, at least never until now, and Abel the fishman said that Prince Ada disappeared from here, so it must have disappeared from here, and it is absolutely impossible for Prince Ada to go elsewhere.
Everyone began to search beneath their feet, hoping to find an entrance to the underground world, and one agent even pulled out a nest of grass, only to see a nest of termites emerge from the ground, causing nearby Liz to scream, and girls are always easily frightened by these little insects, although these small insects and small beasts are not very lethal.
Everyone was looking on the ground, but Lu Fei was the only one looking into the distance.
Lu Fei heard the wind chimes in the wind, and the wind chimes were not coming from afar, on the wasteland, behind a pile of messy boulders, a small cart slowly emerged.
It's a small cart made of old wood that looks like a dilapidated wheelchair for the disabled, and it also looks a bit like the pachinko made of four iron wheels and a few pieces of wood that rural children played with when they were children, and the wind chimes hang high on this tattered cart that can hardly be described as a small cart.
The most surprising thing is not that such a tattered cart appeared in such a place, but the person sitting on this tattered cart.
And this person can hardly be described as a person, I saw that this person only has the upper half of the body, but not the lower half, and the lower half of his body below the waist seems to have been cut off by some sharp weapon.
Therefore, the half-body man was tied to the little cart that had been worn out for an unknown number of years, and because he had lost his lower body, he had to use his extraordinarily thick calluses like scales and countless deep cracks to keep pulling the two big iron wheels on the left and right sides of the tattered cart to move on the ground.
If it was just like this, Lu Fei would at most look at him with pity, not surprise, but he was such a person, he only had half a body, but he still looked completely human.
I saw that the skin of this person's whole body was like the color of dust, if he lay down in a pile of dust, and then closed his eyes, it would be impossible to tell whether this was a pile of dust or a person, he didn't wear half a piece of clothing on his body, his skin was like the color of a cloud of dust, and he couldn't tell whether it was his skin or a body of dust, the only thing that could be distinguished was that he should be a male creature, because he only had the upper half of his body, so he didn't need to hide his shame at all.
If it's just like this, Lu Fei may only think how miserable this person is, but not how strange this person is, only half of his body is left, and the skin of his whole body is the color of earth, but this is not the point, the point is that this person doesn't look like a human at all, I saw that there were three meat horns on his head, the one of which was more than a foot long, and the two on both sides were also an inch long, his ears were like two meat fans hanging down, and people who had watched "Journey to the West" could easily associate Zhu Bajie's fan ears, His eyes, nose, and mouth are also different from those of a human, and they can be seen at a glance, but the exact difference is inexplicable.
