Inside a fast food restaurant.

Looking at the physically active brother in front of him, Su Lu's expression was complicated, and his eyes looked up and down.

Unlike the original owner, who inherited his mother's appearance, this Rhodes inherited more of their father's Tonks Potley's facial features, with strong edges and corners, a slightly gloomy hooked nose, and thick lips that were often tightly pursed, blooming with a resolute expression.

At this point, the other party is opening and closing without any image, shoving the beef burger into his mouth and swallowing it bone-bone-bitten in his throat - barely chewing.

"You...... Haven't eaten in a few days? ”

This state reminds Sulu of a starving ghost or a homeless man wandering in a park for days.

"Two days and one night...... Tickets for long-distance steam trains are hard to buy now, and the food served on the trains is too expensive......"

After eating seven Big Mac burgers in a row, Rod Potley poured another large glass of orange juice and finally sighed contentedly: "From the moment I received your letter, I immediately rushed to ......"

"I'm sorry...... I've got my troubles dealt with! ”

Sulu shrugged his shoulders with some regret in his heart.

If this Rhodes had arrived a day earlier, he might have made a completely different choice.

"Really...... Looks like I'm late! ”

Rod nodded, and looked Sulu up and down a few more times: "Hmm...... Little ones have grown taller and stronger! What I want to say is...... It's nice to see you again! ”

He tried to squeeze a soft smile out of his face, and it was clear that he had done his best.

'Counting the original owner's break with the family, I haven't been back for four years, right?' ’

Su Lu's expression suddenly became stunned: "Old guy...... How is he? Also, why did you send me a letter before? The thing in the letter...... What's going on? ”

Because of the large number of people around, he did not directly name the pages of the dark magic book.

He ...... Not good, very bad! ”

Rod's movements faltered.

"What's going on?"

Don't say that our old father is missing, it reminds me of an American drama.

Sulu secretly slandered, and immediately heard Rode's deliberately low-pitched answer: "He...... Well...... How so? Went to a far place, through that means you know! ”

"I know, that means?"

Sulu's hand clenched slightly, and a sea of fire seemed to emerge in front of him.

It was the deepest and most painful image in the memory of the original owner, the failed ceremony of Tonks' promotion to the ranks!

Even if it was only a partial memory, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his cheeks twitched: "It seems...... We need to have a good talk! ”

"No problem!"

Rod wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Between us, we should indeed have a good talk...... And, you need a quiet environment! ”

He got up naturally.

Sulu glanced at his pocket and simply went to check out himself.

……

A clearing in the suburbs.

The surroundings were empty, there was nothing, and the view was extremely wide.

As Sulu and Rhodes walked, they recounted some of the things that had happened to them.

Because that page of the black magic book was given by Rod, Sulu did not hide it and told everything that happened after that.

Well, except for the secret of crossing with the golden finger yourself, it is impossible to leak.

The focus is on the mutant Beatrice, and the encircled Catherine.

Rod looked solemn, paced a few steps, and said, "That Catherine, according to your description, is very similar to the [Shadow Binder], the transcendent of this rank can do some incredible things through the shadow, but it is not difficult to deal with!" It's just very evil because they manipulate the shadows and need to be seized from others! ”

"That's ...... for you," Sulu grimaced.

He could feel that this brother was very strong, both in strength and physique, above him, and the previous hug almost made his bones ache faintly, and he was definitely called an 'inhuman' level.

"Yes...... Transcendents of any profession are extremely dangerous to ordinary people...... You're doing it right! ”

Rod said gently, "As for the school director, I will talk to him, and there will be no unnecessary trouble coming to you." ”

After hearing this, Sulu immediately felt much more relieved.

But Rod's expression was unprecedentedly solemn: "The most critical ...... It's the corpse, Beatrice! I'm afraid she's really changed! ”

"Specifically?"

"The page of the magic book I gave you is indeed a trophy from some secret society that worships death...... Of course, I can't do ancient writing, and I can't fully parse the text on it, but I think it's more important, so I'll let you help me take a look. ”

Rhodes Road.

"If it weren't for that magic, I would have been arrested as a murderer......" Sulu shook his head.

The upper echelons know the extraordinary power, but the low-level police officers who handle the case may not know, even if what they said has attracted the attention of the upper echelons, but at that time, how many well-wishers would come to pull a poor boy who they don't know?

Sulu has never liked to pin this hope on the kindness of others.

"I'm not saying you handled it wrong, it's just ...... Very abnormal! ”

Rod frowned and stopped: "That kind of black magic...... Logically speaking, you are an ordinary person who is doomed to failure no matter how you do it...... However, due to the special nature of the object and your use of the moon as a source of ritual power, there have been certain anomalies. ”

Su Lu recalled the situation at that time, indeed, if he didn't have the attribute bar, he wouldn't have been able to learn the skill of [Corpse Ji Creation] at all.

Even if you learn it, the failure rate is very high.

In the end, it was able to succeed because of the help of an unknown force.

"The girl...... Beatrice, you said that Catherine cares about her very much, judging from the fact that the other party often sacrifices maidens, she should belong to a very special type of person, and if this kind of person is in the church of the goddess of light, she may be cultivated to become a saint...... And in the eyes of some evil gods, it is a very good carrier of advent! ”

Rod's next words made Sulu's face change suddenly: "You mean...... An evil being interfered with my rituals and made Beatrice his 'sacrifice'? Or 'avatar'? ”

"That's it, but...... You are the chief priest of the ritual, this has not changed, this mysterious involvement and suppression will make the ritual product backlash, kill you, she can be truly free, or in other words, completely belong to a certain being! ”

"Then why didn't she kill me?" Su Lu felt a chill in his heart and asked.

"Rituals and festivals are very mysterious and complicated...... I can only say a few guesses! Judging from the fact that you were able to barely control the corpse queen afterwards, although the other party was affected a little at that time, they couldn't fight for your control, in other words, that existence made the ritual successful, but only planted a seed! ”

"Seeds?"

"It may be because the dawn of the gods has just begun, the righteous gods are sleeping, and the evil gods cannot easily wake up and descend...... So just seeds! ”

Rhodes said: "But the seed will grow eventually, and that corpse girl will definitely grow rapidly if she is favored by death...... After a certain limit, you must go through a certain ritual and kill you, the 'original owner', in order to be promoted to the real 'horror'! ”
