(XXXVIII) The Dead (Elena Joyue, III)
"Hey, I've got you revenge!" He was answered by a cheerful male voice, "It's sad not to thank me, but to doubt my kindness." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Less...... Less! A hoarse voice asked, "Is it you...... Make me like this! ”
Elena extinguished the light around her—though she suspected that they might have been spotted. She and Grot cautiously approached, poking their heads out from behind a mound to see a naked Thatchi man with a lantern in his hand, looking nervously from side to side.
On the man's bare chest, there are still traces of being pierced by a sharp blade on the slightly right side of his heart, but the blood has long ceased to flow. He held a worn-out dagger in his right hand, and in his left hand he carried a lantern with the head of a fellow Thatch. The skull's eyes were wide open, as if he had no idea that he would die in this way.
The boy grabbed her hand sharply, and Elena turned her head to see the boy's teeth fighting up and down, and his eyes flashed with rage. She had heard the teenager say that in the Saatchi culture, the resurrection of the dead was a great omen, symbolizing the imminent overthrow of the world of the living. Trying to resurrect the dead is blasphemous to the ancestors and will never be tolerated.
When Edda's magic was still alive and well, it was one of the main reasons why they were hostile to each other with the Elna.
Elena turned around and hugged the boy's tall and thin body. Even if he had guessed what was happening in the cemetery in advance, the moment of the resurrection of the deceased was still a little difficult for Glock to accept. She looked at the boy with clear eyes and conveyed her heart to the other party.
"You did a great job, you were very brave, and because of you, we were able to witness what was in front of us. So, thank you."
The boy slowly calmed down, he pushed the girl away, and nodded, indicating that he was fine.
"It's a pity that the answer is wrong." The answer came from the other direction, with a hint of curiosity, "According to that guy, you should follow my orders!" What went wrong, or was it really a failure? ”
"Come out for me!" The man, or rather the resurrected old Hank, spun aimlessly, trying to get close to the source of the voice, but finding nothing, "Hide and hide the seed!" The ancestors will curse you! ”
That's kind of scary. Well, as you wish, I'm out. ”
The answer rang out again, but it turned into a soft female voice. At the same time, a Saatchi woman dressed in cloth emerged from nothingness, slowly walked not far from the front of Old Hank, and looked at the resurrected man with a smile.
"That's Rosie! Old Hank's wife! The boy whispered into Elena's ear, "How did she come here!" ”
Because it wasn't Rosie at all, Elena thought. She waved her hand to signal the boy not to speak, and continued to stare at the scene not far away.
"A nice surprise, isn't it, old man?" The original male voice came again, seemingly coming from behind Rosie. He whispered a short word, and Elena saw that Old Hank's gaze instantly became dull, "Listen to my orders...... Well, what should I say? By the way, let's kill this woman! ”
The naked man jerked a few steps forward, then stiffened to a halt. The muscles of his body seemed to tense abnormally, and muffled words came out of his throat.
"No...... I...... No...... Allow...... You ......" The man's clenched left hand suddenly let go, allowing the head to roll to the ground along with the lantern. The lantern turned over a few times on the ground, still shining tenaciously.
"Not at all obedient. I said it at the beginning, and sure enough, Cullen's assurances can't be trusted! The voice said another short word, and old Hank's stiff body suddenly loosened, and he staggered forward a few steps before he could barely stand still, "Tell you, it's just a dummy, I made it to lie to you!" ”
Old Hank didn't say a word. He clenched the short sword in his hand and took a few steps closer to Rosie, cautiously taking a defensive stance.
"Well, it seems that not only is he disobedient, but his brain is not very dexterous." The voice suddenly moved away, and sounded not far in front of Rosie, "It seems that I am the only one who will do it for you!" ”
There was a soft thud in the air—it was the sound of a crossbow firing. Old Hank tensed and flicked himself in the direction where the sound came from him, swinging the short sword in his hand as he swung it.
He had calculated the right direction, but he had miscalculated where the other man was aiming, and the arrow passed under his waving arm and pierced his lower abdomen.
Elena heard a dull grunt, and then noticed that old Hank's abdomen had cracked a huge cavity that was rapidly spreading throughout his body. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, so as not to scream out because of this terrible scene.
The dilated cavity soon split Old Hank in two and then devoured his torso, thighs, arms, and calves. And until the head disappeared completely, the man's mouth continued to open and close, and his eyes looked straight to the sky, never closed.
"Oh, that's a tiring job." With some helpless complaints, a short male figure appeared in the air. He was dressed in tight-fitting black leather armor and casually carried a small pitch-black crossbow in his hand. It was the arrow that had been fired from this crossbow that easily killed - or rather destroyed Old Hank's body.
He turned his head, his dark eyes, as if absorbing all the brilliance, met Elena's gaze.
Elena's heart tightened, what had just happened was far beyond her imagination, at least she had never learned or heard of such a magic technique. She subconsciously grasped the emblem that Hylancia had given her, but felt her palm suddenly numb, and the emblem came out of her hand, spontaneously flew through the air, and fell into the hand of the Iter.
"It's really disappointing to watch it for so long, not to mention the ticket money, and not even a single applaud!" The Itese grumbled sadly, looking at the emblem in his hand, "I'll make do with this as a tip...... Ay? ”
He was stunned for a moment, looked up and down at the badge for a while, and then his voice changed when he spoke again, "This is the little witch's thing...... You know her! Where is she? ”
"It was given to me by Sister Yinyue." The Ites obviously knew Hylancia, and Elena quickly turned her brain, thinking about how to use this to get out of danger, "Sister Silvermoon...... Let's investigate the situation here first, as for her...... It should be almost here by now~"
She remembered the footprints of the women in the cemetery—if they didn't scare them, they had to pray that her words were true, Elena thought.
"Ahhhhh However, the reaction of the Ites was much more than Elena expected, and he threw the emblem at the girl, his tone full of remorse and complaint, "Every time I do something bad, I run into her, what kind of evil have I done!" Damn, if she knows, I'm going to be criticized by her again-"
As if echoing his words, the soft silvery-white light outlines the elegant and slender figure, and then transforms into a young woman in a white robe.
"I already know." Highland Sia said softly, but there was no smile on her face, "Long time no see, Hughes." ”
