Chapter 77: Blood Crystals
Seeing a stranger breaking into her room, although Audrey was a little scared, she still grabbed the "charm" sealed with spirit from the bedside while forcibly calming down, and at the same time wanted to shout and ask loudly to lure her bodyguard over.
But before she could say anything, there was a warning of inspiration, as if as long as she made a loud noise, it would cause irreparable and terrible consequences.
In this regard, she subconsciously glanced at Susie and found that although her golden retriever dog remained in a state of "vigilance", he also suppressed the barking in his throat.
At this moment, the figure hiding in the black robe lowered his voice and said, "Miss Audrey, it's me...... Also, please don't make too much noise......"
Female? And the voice is somewhat familiar...... As soon as Audrey thought of this, she saw the figure who came out of the shadows pull back the hood, letting her waist-length black hair fall down.
"Islam Ossleka?" Audrey recognized at a glance who the person was, and the other party was the "Psychological Alchemy Society", the lady of Islam who was a psychiatrist on the surface but was actually only at the level of a "mind reader".
And I'm already preparing for the promotion to "hypnotist"!
Audrey, who breathed a sigh of relief, was muttering in her heart, but her eyes were suddenly attracted by a suitcase at Isrant's feet.
Because she "read" some "thoughts" from that box, she learned that it liked her appearance very much, and seemed to want to tear off the "packaging" on her body, wash it and eat it slowly......
Although the compliments on my looks make me happy...... But, what does it mean to "eat" slowly? Phew! I don't need a box of compliments either!
The suppression from the top of the food chain made Audrey nervous again, she didn't dare to look at the box more, only lowered her voice and asked:
"Miss Isrant, can you explain why you are in my room at this time?"
"Good evening, Miss Audrey." The baby-faced Islan first lifted her skirt and saluted, and then said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry to disturb you so late...... But I'm actually here for help! ”
"Help?" Audrey frowned and summoned Susie back to her, and then she saw her big dog give her a look, signaling that the woman who broke in had no ill intentions and could listen to what she had to say.
It gave me a look...... Audrey gave a complicated "um" before continuing:
"Miss Islam, can you elaborate on that?"
"Here's the thing...... Islant didn't hide it, recounting that he had been coerced into a suitcase and drove to East Chester County to wait for a "mission." and focused on the process of her unlucky encounter with the "substitute punister" rounds, and had to undo the "seal" of the suitcase and use its ability to escape.
But this time, after the "unsealing", there was an obvious problem with the suitcase, not only did the "amount of food" get bigger and bigger, but also the quality of the flesh and blood was picky......
Islam was forced into a position where he was unable to turn himself in to the church...... In desperation, she suddenly remembered that Miss Audrey Hall was currently in East Chester, and that there must be a powerful extraordinary person in the home to protect her, so she sneaked in to ask for help, just to seal the box again.
Items that crave "flesh and blood", can use multiple pathways, and have the "Alive" trait...... This is at least a "shepherd" level seal! I'm afraid that the extraordinary bodyguard hired by my father will be difficult to deal with, and if I am not careful, not only Susie and I, but even my parents will be in danger!
Joining the "Tarot Society", Audrey, who always has access to high-end knowledge, has much stronger knowledge than Eastrant, a middle- and lower-level member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", and just listening to the description, she can preliminarily judge the bottom of the box.
At the same time, although she understands Isrant's thoughts, she is still angry at the other party's behavior of bringing danger to her home.
Calm down, Audrey...... Anger doesn't solve the problem, even if you want to punish East, you have to resolve the crisis in front of you first!
Well, as far as I know, Dad's bodyguards are only in the middle sequence, and many of them are people planted by the Night Church......
Not to mention whether they have the ability to deal with this box, even if they can, they will definitely take Eastland away afterwards, and then it will inevitably expose the fact that I joined the "Psychological Alchemy Society".
Because of my father's relationship, the church shouldn't arrest me...... But it will definitely attract more attention, and it will not be as free as before......
What's more, once the bodyguards make a mistake and let the box get out of control, our whole family is likely to die because of it!
Therefore, it is safest to pray to Mr. "Fool" and ask Him for protection!
While Audrey was thinking, the sweat on Isrant's forehead became more and more, and she said a little anxiously, "Miss Audrey...... It's, it's going to start 'going crazy' in five minutes at most.
"Please think of a way to do it quickly."
Audrey came back to her senses when she heard this, and then she made up her mind, and then asked Susie to keep an eye on Isrant, and she pretended to go out to find someone......
But in fact, after she left the bedroom, she did not alarm the maid on duty at all, but relied on the "open the door" charm that Abner had given her to enter a cubicle.
Then Audrey found a seat and sat down, leaning forward and clasping her hands together in a prayer position against her forehead.
Recited in a low voice in Hermes:
"O fool who does not belong to this era, you are the mysterious lord above the gray mist, and you are the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune."
……
Above the gray mist, Crane, who was sitting in the seat of the "Fool", picked up the slender blood crystals that had been exuded from the body of the "Slayer" Gilcias after divining the recipe for the potion of the "Priest of Light".
This is not the other party's "extraordinary characteristics", after all, Gilcias has already entered the "belly" of "wriggling hunger" with the soul and characteristics.
Klein thought about it for a few seconds and carefully wrote down the corresponding divination statement:
"Where it came from."
Holding the object and the paper, Crane recited the phrase again and entered the dream.
In the gray world, he saw the huge sailing ship "Death" with two ends raised high, and saw the loyalty and respect of Gilcias to the ship, and even in front of the other party, he had no self to speak of.
After a moment, Crane opened his eyes.
He sat up straight, looked at the slender blood crystals, and muttered to himself thoughtfully and silently:
"Is the 'Death Number' alive?
"A seal with living properties?
"This crystal is the source of its control over the crew, and it is very polluting, so whether it is a person or an object, a person or an object that is not enough will be corrupted by it...... Be a part of it? ”
Picking up the slender blood crystals and smelling the faint smell of sulfur, Crane vaguely felt the corrosive power contained in it.
"Legend has it that the abyss is the most polluted place, even angels will fall out of control there, and the people who guard the abyss will eventually be assimilated by the abyss...... and the characteristics of the 'Death Number' are quite consistent with this.
"Moreover, I don't know if it's an illusion, I think Liu Bo's way of 'crossing' is actually somewhat similar to this......
"By the way, Abner told me that he seemed to have separated the 'Shadow World' brand related to the 'Abyss' during his life as the 'God of Fortune', and also conducted some 'experiments'......
"Although he never told me what the 'Shadow World' or 'essentia' was, I guess Liu Bo's research on the 'Shadow World' may have influenced the abyss...... Perhaps this method of 'Death Number' is a by-product of his original development. ”
Crane let his thoughts drift away and pondered another question:
"So it seems that the real 'Immortal King' is actually the 'Death Call', and Agaritu is just its spokesperson, or is it just a manager with a certain authority? Oh, as Bernadette speculated, Agaritu may not even be a demigod! ”
Crane pondered for a few seconds, then tried divination again to see if he could get a revelation of the usefulness of the slender blood crystal.
He wasn't worried that it would cause big trouble, or rather, he was ready for big trouble, even if Liu Bo was connected to the "dark side of the universe" or the "god of luck" in the "abyss", it was at most equivalent to a "real creator" and "eternal sun"-style counterattack, and Klein asked himself if he could hold on.
Soon, in the gray world, he saw an ancient, blood-splattered altar, engraved with one filthy word and symbol after another, as if shouting something.
Immediately after the scene turned, a handsome man with a height of more than three meters placed the condensed blood-colored crystals on the altar with a soul, and then performed a ritual to turn the soul into an "egg".
"Can you really ......" The man muttered to himself as the gray world shattered, and Crane slowly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
"Egg ...... According to Russell's diary, Yadabao hatched from an egg......
"So, this 'blood crystal' still has the ability to 'resurrect'?
"Who's that tall man?" Lucky God'? That's his experiment?
"In addition, the 'blood crystal' I just saw is much more 'perfect' than the one in my hand...... So the 'death number' is actually a by-product or a half-finished product of that man's experiment...... My 'spar' is also a low-profile version? ”
Well, what do I want to do so much? Anyway, I'm not going to use the "demon" thing, so I'd better leave this issue to the "tower" to study, and tell me the results when the time comes.
With this in mind, Crane casually threw the slender, mutilated blood crystals into the clutter pile, along with the glowing crystals left behind by the "Priest of Light"—extraordinary properties.
Just as he was about to return to reality, he saw the crimson star that symbolized Miss "Justice" shrink and expand.
