Fermoran in the middle of the night is more dead and silent than during the day. The bonfire in the square www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion has burned out, and only smoke remains. In the whole town, there are very few houses left with lights still lit. In addition to the unpleasant rattling of crows, the sound of slow-moving horses' hooves on the stone face, there are ...... The sound of items colliding against each other in Meluvia's backpack.

"Here we are, dismount. Melissa pulled her horse and stopped in front of the cathedral. Alicia told Meleva to go down first, and then she came down. Then, Melissa stepped in a handsome posture and returned to the ground with an easier time than either of them. After tethering the horse to the place where it had been last tied, she and Alicia pushed open the door of the church.

"Huh?" Alicia was stunned when she saw what she saw.

The flickering candlelight of the lighting candles casts eerie shadows on the walls, and the hall of the church is unusually quiet. The injuries of the day were gone, but the tables and chairs were still in the corners, the white beds and medical equipment were still left on the floor, and the patients and doctors were gone.

"Let's go up there and have a look. Melissa suggested, and Alicia nodded, but Meleva was slightly uncomfortable. She clutched her chest as if she felt tightness in her chest, and her breathing was a little rapid.

"What's wrong?" asked Alicia worriedly.

"It's fine, it's just a little breathless all of a sudden. Melufa's breathing slowly evened out and soon returned to normal.

"Because you usually sit in your room to refine medicine, you lack exercise, and running more is good for your body. Alicia kind reminder.

"Well, yes, got it. Mei Lufa replied shyly.

It was only on the second floor that Alicia breathed a sigh of relief, for in that bed, Daron was lying peacefully, and the slow rise and fall of his chest showed that he was still alive.

However, on the second floor, there was no sign of the physician Dleiman and the others. It's normal for doctors to come home at night, but what about all the patients disappearing? There were hundreds of people there.

Despite her doubts, Alicia decided to cure Talon first. She brought Melus to Dallon's bedside and said:

"He's my cursed friend, please help him. ”

Meleva nodded slightly, unloaded the bulky Big Mac backpack and set it aside, before probing Darron's state.

She didn't look at Darlon's eyelids or tongue like Dr. Dleiman did, she just closed her eyes and held one hand in the air against Darlon's body, chanting a spell in her mouth. In Alicia's impression, every time she heard this spell, she would see glowing magic arrays and spectacular magic, but this time, things went against her expectations. No matter how long Merus thought about it, nothing happened in the room.

"Alright. After a few minutes, Mei Lufa opened her eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said.

"Okay, you, you mean, the curse is lifted?" Alicia widened her eyes, she didn't see anything, Melus just put her hand there, didn't she?

"No, no, no, not so fast. I mean, I've got a grasp of him. Meluva hurriedly explained, "I just used the reconnaissance technique to probe the mana in his body, and there is indeed a very strange magic remnant there. When did your friend get hurt?"

"Late last night. ”

"That's good, it looks like the curse hasn't penetrated too deeply, so with my strength, it shouldn't be a problem to just expel it. Mei Lufa said with some unconfidence.

"Really?!" Alicia smiled happily just by hearing this, feeling that success was imminent.

"Hmm...... It's just a simple magic, but since I'm doing it, it might take a little more time, so I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, as long as we can save this guy. ”

"Oh well. Nodding, Melus opened the Big Mac backpack on the ground and began to pull out items of unknown purpose. She first drew a large circle with a diameter of about a person's height on the ground with a pen, and then drew some incomprehensible words and patterns in the circle. Next, take out a bottle of white powder and carefully pour it over it along the handwriting. Finally, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it lightly on the white powder under his feet, and as a result, the potion spread rapidly along the trajectory of the powder, and the patterns and words on the floor began to glow with the flow of the potion. Suddenly, a magic array took shape on the floor of the room.

"Can you please help me lift him off the bed?" Meruva said, and the three girls carried Talon's sturdy body together and carried him to the center of the magic circle.

"Okay, then I'll start dispeling the anomalous mana in his body now, if I can, can I ask you to wait outside the door?" Meruja asked embarrassedly. It seemed that she was afraid of being distracted, so Alicia and Melissa both walked out consciously and closed the door on the second floor.

Listening from the outside, there was no sound in the room, so Alicia shrugged her shoulders at Melissa and began to wait.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes passed, and there was still silence in the room. Alicia frowned impatiently and tried to open the door to find out, but Melissa kindly stopped her.

"It's useless to stand here, let's go downstairs. At Melissa's suggestion, the two went to the first floor.

It seems that there are a lot of clouds in the sky tonight, which obscures the moonlight, which is why the hall on the first floor seems so dim. The candlelight reflected on the wall was like a ghost dancing, and it was a sacred church, so why did it feel like that? The beds on the floor were stacked there in a mess, patches of white, white, white......

"?" Alicia narrowed her eyes at something. Among the white beds, there was a piece with a strange bright color on it.

When Alicia walked in, she saw that it was a small pool of bright red marks, red, the color of blood......

"This ...... Is it blood?" Alicia analyzed and came up with this result, and Melissa also agreed after examining it.

From this pool of blood, drops of red marks on the floor stretched to the corners of the room. If you don't look closely, it's hard to spot in this dimly lit hall.

The two girls followed the bloodstain to the corner, where there was a square silhouette with a gap in the center of the silhouette and a handle on each side of the gap, which seemed to be the door to the basement.

Alicia glanced at Melissa with uneasy eyes, but out of curiosity, she pulled the handle and lifted the door......

On the second floor, Mei Lufa, who was silently reciting a mantra, couldn't help frowning. As when she first came in, she felt the tightness in her chest again, even more intense than the last time. She was convinced that there was an extraordinary magic in this house that brought her indescribable depression as a magician. Realizing that the place was not safe, Melus did not stop her ongoing operations, and decided to cure the warrior and told Alicia and Melissa to leave.

A pungent smell of blood and a foul smell came from the basement, and Alicia and Melissa couldn't help but cover their noses. Each of them took a candlestick and walked down the concrete staircase, following the spiral structure to the basement of the cathedral.

It's a flat, low, but many times wider space than the ground. Because there was no light source at all, and they had not yet adapted to the dark eyes, they could only see as far as they could reach by relying on the candle in their hands, so Alicia and Melissa did not know how big the space was and what it was. They tugged at each other's sleeves and slowly moved with the candle in their other hand.

Step by step, there was only endless darkness around, but the smell of blood in the air was getting stronger.

"Quack!" Alicia seemed to step on something hard, and she moved the candlestick in her hand down to her feet.

Only then did she see what she had stepped on, and it was a blood-stained human skull!

Feeling her empty eyes looking at her in despair, Alicia was frightened and screamed loudly. While turning and retreating, I bumped into something, and a soft touch came from the palm of my hand. Nervously lighting the candlestick again, he saw a gray-haired figure sitting in a chair with his back to him, and Alicia had just touched his shoulder.

Screaming again, Alicia and Melissa hugged each other tightly, but after a while, the figure remained motionless with its head down, seemingly unresponsive to the two girls.

Melissa was the first to pluck up the courage to step forward to investigate, trembling to the front of the figure, and immediately covered her mouth in horror. Alicia saw that Melissa had not moved for a long time, and also walked cautiously to her, and now she saw the miserable white face of the person in the chair, distorted with fear, apparently dead for a long time.

Looking at the costume of the corpse of this white-haired old man, it should be the priest of the cathedral, and in front of him is a desk on which only an old book is placed.

Alicia put the candlestick in her hand on the table, spread out the book and looked at it,

“...... function, the spreader of the plague, itself is also the source of the earliest plague, a widespread contagious disease. It is born from the resentment of the corpse left in the world, and thousands of corpses are its torso. Where it is, the plague will live forever and will turn those who die from the plague into a part of their own body. ”

Alicia read a line in the book, already feeling a little creepy.

“...... The body that has lost its soul is rejected by God, and the body that has a soul can be one with it. Three days after the plague descends, the owner of the living corpse will appear on the earth in search of 200 human sacrifices. ”

"What the hell is this?" Alicia finally couldn't take it anymore when she read this, and closed the book directly, but unexpectedly, a man's voice in the dark answered her question.

"It was the 'Book of Otherworlds'. ”

Alicia and Melissa's eyes were now adjusting to the darkness, and they moved the candlestick towards the staircase, where they saw a familiar man standing.

"Dryman...... Doctor?" Melissa asked, a little confused, for the Dryman in front of her didn't seem to be the same as what she was usually seeing. In her impression, the doctor was a kind person, but the person in front of her, with cold eyes and a gloomy face, gave people a terrifying feeling.

"The 'Book of Otherworlds' is a book that records information about the gods and artifacts that exist in the Otherworld, and the one you see is the one I found with great difficulty, a record of the god of the Otherworld, the 'Corpse King'. ”

"Dr. Dryman, what are you doing here? What about the patients in the hall?"

"Patient?" said Deleiman with a sneer, in a cruel tone, "You're talking about these 'sacrifices' lying here?"

“？！”

With a wave of his hand, Dryman suddenly appeared in the entire room with a number of ghostly fires, completely illuminating the huge basement. And after seeing everything here, Alicia almost vomited.

The ground was full of bright red blood-stained corpses and bones, and the pungent smell of blood was the reason. And on the pillar next to the wall, Melissa saw two figures who had driven themselves crazy:

"Daddy, Mommy!" Melissa ran like crazy to the post, her parents tied to it, dripping with blood and flesh.

"Daddy, Mommy, wake up, please wake up!" Melissa cried when she saw her loved ones being abused, and Alicia overcame her fear and began to develop a strong hostility towards Dryman.

"Oh, it's your parents. Hehe, he suddenly came to me and said that he wanted to see the cursed young man, who happened to be a sacrifice, and they were unlucky. Dryman's voice was cold and unforgiving, a change from the mildness he had seen during the day.

"You, are you crazy?!, why are you doing this?" Alicia shouted uncontrollably, the armor-piercing sword at her waist already unsheathed.

"Don't you understand that 'Book of Otherworlds'? I want the 'Corpse King' to come into the world. ”

"What?!" Alicia couldn't hide her surprise, this person in front of her was actually going to summon a god from another world?

"Mortals can't understand after all, and I don't want to explain it to you. Dleiman pulled out a magic staff made of human bone and human skin from his bosom, and the top of the staff was also inlaid with a blood jade, "I heard that you solved the undead prince, so you should be familiar with necromancy, right?"

"!!!" Alicia felt a sharp pain, as if her body had been pierced by a sharp sword. A blood-red glow emanated from the blood jade of the Dryman staff, connecting to Alicia's heart, like drawing blood, gradually sucking away her life.

Melissa saw Alicia suffering, but she was too frightened to move. Alicia's consciousness was gradually dazing, and the blood on her face and body was rapidly disappearing.

"The breath of freezing that clings to the surface of the ice blooms into a transparent and hard flower, and it becomes a binding force, spread. A clear incantation chanted in Lolita sounded in the air, and Dryman's hands began to bloom two ice flowers, and the freezing effect began to spread along the back of his hand, gradually condensing into ice crystals.

Because if this continued, his entire arm would be frozen into ice, so Dryman had to stop absorbing the magic of Alicia's life, escape from the area where the ice attribute Mana was effected, and breathe hot air on his hands, and the ice crystals turned into ice slag and slowly disappeared.

The spell was lifted, and Alicia shook her head and came to her senses. Looking at the diminutive figure with pink hair at the entrance of the stairs, Alicia smiled.

Then, a sound of footsteps came from the other side of the stairs, and a male warrior appeared behind Melus with his own weak voice:

"Really, after being away for so long, I'm the male protagonist and I'm almost forgotten. ”

As soon as the male warrior appeared, Alicia's smiling face stretched out, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, and she shouted excitedly:

"Darron!"
