12 Dark Bloodlines

(It's been a bit busy these two days, so it's scheduled for 21:30 at night.) Two more in a few days. )

Lorne felt that he was unlucky, and in one day he came to this world, he fainted three times.

But he was also glad that he didn't have a nightmare when he fainted this time.

But when he woke up, he only felt weak, and he felt uncomfortable anywhere, especially the most intense hunger. Lorne opened his eyes and found himself lying in a hospital bed again, with Erin by his side, but with three other people: the centurion, Sheena, and an old man in white robes he had never seen.

The centurion stood by the window, his back looking a little depressed. When Sheena saw Lorne wake up, she said, "Are you awake?"

Lorne nodded, confused, his mind full of killing fragments. He remembered that he was going to the northwest to repair the cordon, and Jack was killed, and instead of saving people, he attracted a swarm of spiders...... Until the spider swarm is about to invade the town, the memory suddenly fragments.

So Lorne's first words were, "What about the spider swarm?"

"It's all right. They're dead. Erin held his hand, warm.

"What about Samur?" asked Lorne again.

"I'm still unconscious, but I've stabilized. It's just his hand ......" Erin shook her head and said no more.

Lorne hung his head in frustration. The centurion walked slowly from the window, and after a few seconds of silence, he placed his right fist on his left chest: "Lorne Green, I thank you for everyone." ”

Lorne was a little puzzled, shook his head, and blamed himself very much: "I'm sorry, if I hadn't tried to save Jack, I wouldn't have caused ......."

"It's not your fault, it's our responsibility. The centurion interrupted him, "The presence of such a huge threat in the woods less than five hundred meters outside the warning zone is an oversight of our guard. It's my fault for not investigating the surrounding situation. ”

Hearing him say this, Lorne blamed himself even more, and kept shaking his head. Suddenly, the centurion said, "But there is something we want to ask you." ”

Lorne looked up, "What?"

The centurion tells him about the strange death of the spider swarm, but Lorne is completely unimpressed. That memory is gone, as if sinking into the dark ocean floor.

"Your pedigree is not quite the same as ours. Or rather, you have the blood of an evil god in your veins. The centurion gave a succinct conclusion.

Lorne looked at him, suddenly feeling strange, and it was as if he couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Sacrifice McCullin, you can explain. The centurion looked at the old man.

The white-robed old man took a step forward. He looked to be seventy years old, with sparse gray hair, tall and thin, standing very straight, and a crown of thorns on his chest. He nodded, his voice hoarse, "Lorne Green, I'm McCallin Iliad of the Secret Sacrifice of Nokmar. ”

Secret Sacrifices. Lorne remembered that Samur had mentioned the group, and that four of the young priests had unleashed the evil gods of the old days.

"The centurion has told me what happened, and according to his description, the kind of ability you possess that no one else has yet acquired. It's so powerful, I don't know where to put it in the Dark Star Map. Level three, level four? No, much more. The priest said.

"Maybe your abilities don't belong in the Dark Star Chart. Before the world was contaminated, I studied the materials of the old days in the Great Sanctuary of Nokmar, some of which are consistent with your abilities. The McCullin priest said.

Lorne took a deep breath and felt that things were going on more than he had expected.

"Those spider swarms are inferior monsters, and when they face you, they all burst and die. It's almost exactly the same as the description of the old gods in the ancient books, and lowly and small creatures can't even face them. That's the power of God, the absolute oppression from above. McCullin whispered, "We call them purebloods." ”

"Pureblood...... Domination?" Lorne felt like he was in a dream.

"Even with their blood in their veins, those walkers did not dare to confront the ancient gods. Monsters are the walkers of the old days. McCullin said, "You have a dark bloodline in you, and when the bloodline is activated, the inferior monster bursts in front of you, and the spider queen is inferior, so the purity of your bloodline can't affect it yet." ”

Lorne finally understood, but shook his head, "You guys...... Must be lying to me. ”

"You have risen from the plague and are completely resistant to inferior monsters, and you have gained two level 1 abilities after being injected with serum. This is something that no hunter can do at the moment. The centurion whispered, "But if it's because of the Dark Blood, then everything can be explained." ”

Lorne's breathing became rapid, and his body trembled: "No, no, it must not be like this, how can I ......"

"We took some of your blood while you were unconscious. The McCullin priest said, "Sheena, please take it out." ”

Sheena nodded, pursed her lips and stepped forward, finally taking out her right hand, which had been hidden behind her. She was holding a syringe with half a tube of blood in it, but a few cloudy black flocs were entangled.

"It's your blood. Sheena whispered.

Lorne froze. After a few seconds, he slowly hugged his head with both hands, pulled his hair, and looked blank: "I...... Not human?"

That's not what I mean. The McCullin priest said, "Sheena. ”

Sheena stretched out her left hand again, the same needle, containing normal dark red human blood: "This is your blood too." ”

Lorne was confused.

"This is the blood that was taken three hours after you were unconscious, and it has completely returned to normal. Hence the conclusion that you have a dark bloodline, but it only contaminates your blood for a short time when activated. After a few hours, everything was back to normal. The McCullin priest said.

Lorne's eyes widened.

"And when your bloodline was activated, it was to protect the human race, which also means that you belong to our camp. You use the power of darkness to clear monsters and practice justice. "Perhaps you are the one sent by the Virgin Celine to save us." ”

For a moment, Lorne seemed to have returned from hell to earth, looking at everyone's faces with respect, as if everything had become familiar again.

"We haven't figured out the conditions for the Dark Lineers to trigger yet, but under normal circumstances, it shouldn't bother you in any way. We will focus on taking care of you in the future. The hunters need you, and Nokmar needs you. The centurion said, "When you get level 3 ability, I will officially put you in the punishment sequence." ”

Lorne didn't know if it was a surprise or not, but he was stunned and said, "Thank you...... Centurion. ”

At this time, Erin suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered, "Thank you for protecting me." ”

It felt like a kitten blowing in his ear and licking it with the tip of his delicate tongue, and Lorne felt nothing but softness.

"I'll give you an extra reward for this mission. Rest well and let Erin take care of you. The centurion nodded.
