Chapter Twenty-Six: Is It Too Late to Lose the Key?
In the moment after the disappearance of the unknown creature who called herself Nana, everyone felt that what they had just encountered should be that they were hallucinating.
The stump erected in the middle of this place that can't be ignored at all has the ability to control minds before, so even if everyone is unconsciously recruited at the moment they first enter the door, it is very possible.
After Wang Cheng felt the cold key in his pocket, he didn't know whether to be relieved that he was not mentally controlled, or to get nervous when he encountered something more troublesome and mysterious.
Taking out the silver key that was suspected to have been given to him by a Persian cat that could transform into an adult and called himself Nana, Wang Cheng observed that the key was not special from the outside, the appearance was a very old-fashioned key, and it was impossible to see what type of door it was used to open from the outside, and it was impossible to see what material it was made of when he held it in his hand.
In fact, Wang Cheng feels that this key is not so much a key as an ornament hanging around his neck.
Wang Cheng used to often fantasize that he could win 5 million by buying a lottery ticket, or that he was the illegitimate son of a super-rich man, and suddenly found himself one day, and then said to himself that he couldn't help himself when he became a wealthy family, and it was really a last resort to leave his wife and children behind, and his conscience was uneasy for more than 20 years, and now he finally found a chance to repay.
Come on, come and give you 100 million first, and take it to start a business and practice your hands.
It's the same feeling that normal life is getting farther and farther away from you, and why it ends up in this way.
Wang Cheng wanted to hand over the key to Liadrin, after all, he said before the group that he would give her the key if he found it, and it was useless for Wang Cheng to hold the key himself.
Liadrin's gaze was not on the key that Wang Cheng had taken out, or that Liadeline's gaze had returned to the stump after she disappeared from Nana.
After making sure that there would be no more talking Garfield, Liadline walked to the front of the stump.
Wang Cheng was not in a hurry to give the key to Liadlin now, and he would not lose it if he put it on himself anyway, so he beckoned the others to follow Liadrin.
The hall is not very large, and it takes two steps to go around to the front of the stump.
Unexpectedly, Wang Cheng saw a man with sheep's horns embedded in the stump, the lower half of his body had been completely submerged in the stump, and only the head and part of his upper body were still exposed outside the tree. The stump and the vines that wrapped around the hall were clearly visible to have grown from the man's body, and the whole person had been burned a little black, and there were blood marks on his body.
"Father. ”
"Is this Benedictas. ”
Wang Cheng looked at Benedictas, who should still be in a coma, and couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't tell what he looked like. But as Liadrin's father, he should be good-looking.
It is clear that the other side has completely lost its combat effectiveness. Wang Cheng thought of the Persian cat again, excluding the words she said that Wang Cheng couldn't understand for the time being and the names of people, there was one thing Wang Cheng could judge.
That Persian cat is definitely stronger than Benedictas, even Benedictas, who is completely uninjured, is no match for that Persian cat, and there is reason to believe that Benedictas is a monster of this type who is completely unregarded by that Persian cat.
Combined with the analysis of the information revealed by the previous conversation with the Persian cat, what the Persian cat cares about is the existence of a "ewe", which should obviously be a nickname.
Wang Cheng remembered a dream he had after being stunned in the car, the black shadow that covered the entire forest, and the cry of the ancient coins falling on the ground as if the whole forest was wailing, should have something to do with the existence called "ewe" by the Persian cat.
So who is Yugosototh, what is that lost coin, what is the purpose of the ancient coin he carries, and there is a name, which only appears once, but when he thinks about it again, he feels very depressed, "Azathoth".
In the end, it was like a person's memory before death, and the consciousness that interrupted his own backtracking, was it Nana? Wang Cheng was not sure. In just one day, there are so many questions.
The Persian cat came here to wipe her butt, although Wang Cheng didn't know what a creature like her was hiding from her, or what was taboo and needed to hide here. But Wang Cheng believes that this reason has absolutely nothing to do with us human beings or human governments.
Wang Cheng felt that his head was also big. In this way, it is better to do "Five-Year College Entrance Examination, Three-year Simulation" at home, and when I go back, I must be a good student who loves life and learning, and aspires to be an excellent socialist successor.
Of course, there are still people in the team who feel that this trip is worthwhile.
Liadline approached Benedictas, and at this time, Benedictas suddenly opened his eyes.
"Liadrin," said Benedictas without waiting for the others to make a move, "don't be afraid, I'm awake now." ”
Sun Yuchen, who wanted to rush up to cover at the first time, also stopped, but he was not completely relieved, so he stood on guard from a relatively safe distance.
Benedictas watched Sun Yuchen's movements and didn't say anything, just looked at Liadlin again and said to her, "You shouldn't have come here, but since you're here, don't go back." ”
"Why, father, what the hell is going on, why are you doing this, what is happening to you?" asked Leadrine.
"Don't worry, kid, we still have time, I will answer your questions one by one. ”
The above conversations were all done in English, and only Ouyang Chaonan in this group could fully understand what they were doing, and Wang Cheng, who had not been to school much, could only look at Ouyang Chaonan.
Ouyang Chaonan shook his head and signaled that their conversation was not substantial, and there was nothing wrong with it.
However, Benedictas also saw that Wang Cheng and they could not understand English, and obviously he did not intend to hide anything from Wang Cheng and them, so he continued in Chinese: "Liaderin, in fact, you are not my biological daughter, that key is actually very evil, the Holy See can only seal, not destroy it, and you are the prop that seals the key." ”
"Father, what are you talking about?"
"Listen to me first," Benedictas continued, "I'm not the last Guardian, I lied to you about everything, you were adopted by me since you were a child, and there are many girls like you, who are adopted by different people, until the death of the girl who sealed the key in the previous one, and the next Guardian will be chosen from these girls." ”
"Why the hell is this? Even if it's a sacred relic, I'm willing. Liadline asked Benedictas.
"You don't know at all, the Guardian is just a lie of the Holy See, after becoming a Guardian, your life will soon fade away, at most 10 years, which is the longest life of a Guardian in the record, the time of death is related to the time you are in contact with the key, and the longer you are in contact with the key, the faster your life will end. ”
"Then why me?" asked Liadrin.
"After many years of experimentation, the Holy See has found that even the best men do not survive a year, and the shortest do not survive a week. Only young women are more stable, with an average of more than 5 years, and not everyone is physically suitable for touching keys, and some people will die once they come into contact. Benedictas replied.
When Benedictas said this, everyone's eyes looked at Wang Cheng, including Liadeline.
"I seem to have heard something remarkable, is it too late to lose this key now?" Wang Cheng said to Benedictas as he took out the silver key.
