Chapter 167: Dark Tide
Lin Qiu thought that his disguise was seamless, and the problem was all with Phoenix.
As a high-level monster, Phoenix has always been a straightforward character, and her style of acting is to put it another way, that is, upright. Her biggest weakness was that she had lived countless years and witnessed the rise and fall of two worlds, but this was the first time she had tried to get a person out of the city under the noses of soldiers and knights of the Church.
Phoenix was so nervous along the way that he couldn't even say a word.
What if I find out?
What if I am met by an acquaintance?
What if she was discovered by her own kind and laughed at her for it?
Just thinking about these things made her little heart hang in her throat, and when the church knights who followed them jumped out, she almost turned into a prototype in fright and flew away in a puff of smoke. Fortunately, the tenacity of the high-level monster kept her from acting rashly.
In fact, these church knights were also bold enough to come forward and ask.
They are just low-level knights of the church, not like the high-ranking knights of the Inquisitor, who have special skills, and after hearing the news of the mask killer's operation in the past few days from Wang **, they are also worried in the middle of the night. They happened to hear that two of the Mask Foursome had been killed at noon today, and there were still two left...... And Lin Qiu and Phoenix appeared in front of them in the form of a duo.
What if they're the remnants of the Mask Four?
What if they are found out and they kill us?
What if there are still companions lurking around them?
Just thinking about this, the little hearts of the church knights also hung in their throats, and they looked at each other, questioning each other with their eyes, and the second thing shouted out when they just looked at each other? At this time, just pretend not to see them, right? If you look closely at these two people with their faces covered, it shouldn't be the victims they killed on the cart, right?
It's too late to retreat, right?
"The ......"
The silence lasted for a long time, and then one of the Church Knights came up to them like a duck on the shelf, and asked, "What are you doing here sneakily, if you can't tell......
He met Phoenix's seemingly vicious, but actually nervous eyes, and when he got closer, he also realized that Phoenix had a pair of dragon wings behind him.
Damn, there's a monster!
"It doesn't matter if you can't say it! Actually, we don't really want to know where you came from, you seem to be in a hurry right now, so we won't bother you for now, even if you are carrying out activities such as carrying corpses, it has nothing to do with us!"
Phoenix wasn't there yet, but when she heard sensitive words like transportation and corpses, she finally couldn't hold back.
"Who do you say is carrying the corpse?"
Phoenix slapped the straw on the cart, revealing the distortion of the iron blue and festering skin under the straw: "We're just carrying straw! This corpse obviously got in by herself, and it has nothing to do with us!" As she spoke, she clenched her fist and punched the distorted face a few times: "See clearly! This is just an ordinary corpse, I will never do anything to disguise a living person as a corpse and transport it out of the city, even if I really do it, this guy instigated me!"
Phoenix pointed at Lin Qiu and said righteously.
"What nonsense are you talking about!? Sir, don't listen to her nonsense, the corpse on the cart was actually infected with the T-virus and died, we must transport him out of the city as soon as possible, otherwise once the virus breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable! Captain Chris, do you want the tragedy of Raccoon City to happen again?"
"Don't call me Captain Chris!" the Church Knight replied fiercely.
For some reason, as soon as he heard the words Captain Chris, he felt that a burden came from nowhere on his shoulders.
After Lin Qiu and Phoenix's explanation that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, the nervous mood of the church knights relaxed.
On closer inspection, it turned out that these two people were not wearing masks, but a masked cloth, and in this way, their suspicion level dropped by seventy percent. What's more, the bishop also taught the knights to issue an emergency notice, and the main reason for blocking the streets was not to assist the king**, but to block the area as soon as the sick residents were found.
I didn't expect the epidemic to appear so soon, and I must report it to the church as soon as possible!
"You have done a good job, you must transfer these people suffering from the epidemic out of the city as soon as possible, and you must not let the epidemic break out in the imperial capital!" the church knight patted Lin Qiu's shoulder approvingly and left together.
"It's so dangerous, I almost got discovered. After a few people were far away, Phoenix patted his chest nervously, thinking that she had never been so nervous when she fought with the Holy Maiden.
The city gate was close at hand, and the king who was stationed at the city gate saw that the knights of the church let Lin Qiu Phoenix pass, so he didn't make it difficult for them anymore, and the two of them later carried smooth sailing, and after walking a long distance, the distortion silently rubbed the left side of his face that was beaten by Phoenix.
Although it is true that he escaped from the emperor, how can he think that these two guys are purely unable to get along with him?
"Now you can tell me, who is the person who entrusted you with it?" asked the distortion on the cart.
He ignored the previous actions of the two of them, and thought that Lin Qiu and Phoenix were here to help him, but Lin Qiu obviously had no intention of forming an alliance with him, and he didn't ask him questions about how to be promoted to the domain level all the way. His chips did not impress Lin Qiu, he was entrusted by others, so he changed his mind.
So here's the problem.
After all that he had done, would anyone else be kind enough to help him?
The two stopped.
The gates of the imperial capital gradually disappeared into the night, and the path was flanked by dense woods, and the insects in the forest were constantly chirping, and the sound of monsters restlessly could be faintly heard. Lin Qiu and Phoenix worked together to throw the cart with distortion to the side of the road.
"Before I take you to him, I have a question. ”
"Say it. ”
"I've heard that you used to be a good knight, and a strong contender for the Knights of the Round Table, what is the reason for what you did later?"
Gawain-Don Quixote showed that he and Distortion were once close friends, and also implicitly proposed that after Aberration had committed such a heinous crime, he would still be willing to help, provided that Lin Qiu brought Aberration to him. But after experiencing a series of events in the morning, Lin Qiu had become wary of the person Gawain Don Quixote.
He vaguely felt that the matter was not as simple as Gawain-Don Quixote had stated, and that the first bishop Charnoya had arrived in the imperial capital, and even the Holy Maiden had come forward, but the church was the only one who had concealed the news of the arrival of the aberration from Gawain-Don Quixote......
"Or what's going on between you and Gawain-Don Quixote?"
