Chapter 245: Hugh and the Fool
Outside a house on Tucker Street, Baron "Conva" watched his target "teleport" away, but could not do anything about it.
After all, he had only his head left, and he was incapacitated, and the "Austin" lady was still affected by Jane's order at the moment, unable to move.
And the residents of the nearby neighborhood have long been evacuated by MI9 under various names, and he simply can't find the right person to reshape his body.
It was about a minute before Mrs. "Austin" escaped Jane's orders, and she picked up the baron's head, carefully concealed her figure, and flew in the direction of the East End.
Shortly after they left, an ordinary-looking, gray-haired old man strolled out of the half-destroyed house that had been used as an exit from the forbidden space.
He stared in the direction in which the Baron and Lady "Austin" had gone, and said to himself thoughtfully, "No reaction has elivanced...... Could it really not be him? ”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to the independent space created by "1-010", as if the ban on this "Level 1" seal was nothing for him.
"The military got '1-025'...... Whose plan is this? The tyrant acquiesced......"
Just as the old man was thinking about the problem, the elite team of MI9, who had arrived in a hurry after receiving a call for help, walked out of the exit.
They cover each other and alternate forwards, looking very guarded...... However, the strange thing was that the old man stood leisurely not far from them, and they turned a blind eye, as if he did not exist at all.
……
In the unknowable space, a mummy wrapped in a yellowish bandage, "it" was impaled by countless tan branches, and hung in the air.
Its belly bulged high, and sometimes it bulged and deflated in a certain place, as if it was giving birth to new life.
The mummy's mouth was open and closed, and he kept screaming, looking extremely painful.
However, when "1-025", which was contaminated with the pollution of the "Primordial Moon", the underground pollution, and the breath of the Source Fortress at the same time, was sealed in a special puppet by the military Sage,
The mummy was still screaming, but there seemed to be a little more indescribable feeling in the painful wail.
……
In the bedroom of the Garden Villa on Kingsster Street, Abner put Hugh in his arms on the bed after finding himself waiting for the others to "travel" back to his bedroom.
By this time, Hugh's condition was already very serious, and the dark spots spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the head along the neck and shoulders to the arms and chest.
"Yikes!" Seeing this scene, Firth subconsciously screamed, and immediately remembered something, and hurriedly took out a bottle of healing potion from the satchel he was carrying.
"That's useless...... Abner shook his head at her movements, and then said solemnly to the two girls behind him, "I'm going to perform a ritual for Hugh at once to cleanse those dark spots...... Well, please stay away. ”
Time was urgent, and he couldn't care less about how suspicious his statement was.
Jane guessed that Abner might have some secret that she might not be able to show them, so she glanced at him, didn't ask more, just nodded and said, "Okay, if you need help, call me." ”
With that, she opened the bedroom door and walked out.
Firth also reacted at this time, looked at the black spots that were still spreading on Hugh's body, and couldn't think of a way, her lips moved a few times, her teeth were bitten, she turned around sharply, and followed Jane out of the bedroom.
It's not that she doesn't trust Abner, but it reminds her of similar episodes she has written in it, which are all tragic endings, the kind that you can't even see the last side......
She was very worried and scared.
"Trust Abner, he looks like I'm not small." Jane looked at Furth, who didn't belong to her mind, and patted her on the shoulder and comforted her.
After a short battle just now, the two also had some friendship.
"Thank you......" Furth reluctantly steadied himself, looked at the mysterious lady in front of him in a hood, and said politely, "My name is Falth, Forth Wall...... What do you call it, ma'am? ”
"Just call me Jane." Jane vaguely introduced, then changed the subject, "Miss Wall, are you the author of "Stormy Villa"? ”
Foirth didn't hide it, and nodded generously: "Yes, you have read my book?" ”
"That's my favorite thing to read." Jane said with some excitement, "Can you add me a role?" ”
"Huh?" Firth looked dazed, not understanding why the mysterious and powerful Miss Jane suddenly became so familiar.
While they were chatting, a questioning female voice suddenly came from the staircase: "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”
Furth and Jane were startled and followed the prestige, only to see a girl in pajamas with a very good figure walking up with a lamp in one hand and a revolver in the other.
It was Fanny, who was woken up by the sound of chatting.
……
In the bedroom, after Abner had sealed off the whole room with his spirit, he reflexively approached the bed, pressed Hugh's shoulder, and said quite quickly:
"Remember what I said earlier?
"Recite that name in the ancient Hermetic language!
"Fools who don't belong to this era&......"
Hugh struggled to turn his eyelids, which were squeezed by the dark spots, and his thoughts turned with difficulty, and it took two or three seconds before he reacted, and then recited in a low voice without hesitation:
"Fools who do not belong to this age;
"The mysterious lord above the gray mist;
"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Hugh was stunned to see a crimson starlight gushing out of the void and sweeping over him.
Above the gray mist, inside the majestic palace like the abode of giants.
Seeing that Miss Hugh finally recited her name and activated the "secret agreement" ceremony that Mr. "Tower" had secretly prepared, Klein suddenly felt the entire mysterious space tremble slightly, and the still gray mist appeared to flow obviously!
The crimson star, which symbolizes Miss Hugh, radiates an illusory light like a tide.
This countless light condensed and turned into a vague figure of Miss Hugh, this figure seemed to be merging with the great being a little bit, and obtaining a wonderful spiritual experience.
It's just that the illusory Miss Hugh has black marks tightly around her body, which looks very disturbing.
And as the "Secret Contract" ritual was about to be completed, Klein felt stimulated by the "black spot", and the gray mist and the mysterious space above it clearly rippled with power!
For the time being, Crane didn't have the means to combine these powers with his own spirituality into an extraordinary effect that could exorcise evil spirits, but based on the occult knowledge recorded in The Feast of Blood, he had already prepared another method.
His gaze was lowered, and Crane's gaze rested on the "Fallen Morning Star" necklace in his hand.
Then, using his own spirituality as a whirlpool, he absorbed the power that was being pryed in the mysterious space, and led the necklace like a tide.
The slight tremor above the gray mist became apparent, and bits of pure light staggered and swept towards Crane, becoming one with his spirituality.
"Pacify!"
"Summon the Light!"
At the same time, Crane activated the two abilities contained in the "Fallen Morning Star" and transmitted them to Miss Hugh's figure through the "secret contract".
With the blessings of the higher personalities, the essence of these two abilities is close to that of "divine gifts".
Seeing that the "dark spots" on Miss Hugh's body and spirit body quickly faded and receded, but still left some ominous traces, Klein hesitated again and again, but decided to pull Miss Hugh's spirit body into the gray fog and do a thorough "antivirus" to be safe.
However, before pulling her up, Crane cautiously did a divination.
……
Hugh, who was about to lose consciousness, felt that her thoughts were much clearer as she could think about it, but before she could think about it, a roar suddenly sounded in her ears.
After a second or two, the terrible roar died down, and she saw herself in an ancient and majestic palace, sitting at a long table of mottled green, with the endless gray mist at her feet, and in front of her a figure looking down on her, giving a majestic feeling.
This scene was both strange and familiar to her, she had seen it once in a "dream", but it had not appeared again since she had sought Abner to exorcise evil spirits.
That purification didn't really work...... Abner: He probably already knew...... He has always believed in this mysterious being? That's why when he heard that I had recited that honorific name, he didn't look nervous......
Even...... That might be the game he set up...... I was so stupid, how could Abner have kept such a precious occult book in his study? I didn't even doubt it......
I see, no wonder he suddenly knows so much when he is just an ordinary public school student, as if he knows everything!
However, the Mother Earth God Church also seems to value him...... Could it be that this mysterious being called "Fool" has anything to do with Mother Earth God?
I wonder if there is a chance here to find out my father's grievances?
One thought after another popped into Hugh's mind, but this was clearly not a good time to think, she pursed her lips, stood up, and saluted the figure shrouded in gray mist:
"You're stupid...... The Great King of Yellow and Black? ”
"You can just call me Mr. 'Fool', sit down." Klein smiled and replied gently.
Hugh saluted again and sat down, making sure that he was out of the state he had been in on the verge of losing control.
She glanced up secretly, thought for a moment, and said:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', what was that black spot just now?"
How would I know what that is? You have such a good relationship with "Tower", shouldn't you ask him? It's unfounded, but I think he knows for sure.
Complaining in his heart, Klein said in a flat tone on the surface:
"Your spirit and body have been eroded by some force.
"No problem now."
Hugh Wenyan stood up again and saluted, "Thank you for your help, respected Mr. 'Fool'. ”
"Don't thank me, I'm a 'fool' who likes to exchange for equal value, and the 'tower' has already paid the price for it." Klein said leisurely.
"'Tower'? Is it Abner? Hugh was so moved that she couldn't imagine what Abner had paid for it.
Is it Detective Abner Blaine? Finally confirmed!
The "fool" shrouded in gray mist nodded lightly and said:
"Yes."
