Book 708 of Satan's Holy Grail
Zhou Shu had seen people from other worlds who were indifferent to this place after coming to this world, and Turrell quickly accepted the world here, just like the princesses of the White Moon Country at the beginning. Perhaps because she is a magician, she does a better job of understanding and knowing than anyone else.
The two spent almost the morning in the movie theater, and when it was time for lunch, they ran out to get something to eat.
"But Zhou Shu, I'm not hungry at all now. β
On the street, Mr. Zhou was looking at the signboard of the roadside restaurant with great interest, hesitating whether he should take his guests to eat something. Although I went to Apple Island as a guest before, I was left to sleep on the sofa by the owner there, that is, the little girl who walked on the street and didn't know where to look. However, considering that she used her body to entertain herself on the last day, Zhou Shu decided that she could not be so stingy and must be a good landlord.
Turrell said she wasn't hungry, and she had eaten enough snacks while watching the movie just now. Magicians are not martial artists, and their digestive abilities are not so strong.
Zhou Shu took out two grains of candy, "Knock it, and then you will be hungry." β
He wasn't taking digestive medicine, he was going back in time. This extravagant use made Tourel gasp, and suddenly stopped walking forward, standing in the middle of the midday crowd pinching the candy and hesitating.
She was tempted to keep it, and forced herself to eat more at lunchtime. However, she also knew that Zhou Shu wanted to have a pleasant lunch with her......
After much hesitation, she still ate the candy.
Romance is something that highlights a 'waste' and 'weird behavior', and Zhou Shu also has a small action to complete both at the same time.
He had wanted to take Tourel to a restaurant he was more familiar with, but they closed down. That was the place where Zhou Shu went from a snack to a big one, and the banquet when he was admitted to college was held here. However, he does not have many relatives.
Zhou Shi ran away with a wild man at a young age, and the relationship with his family was cut off by more than half. It was only after she had a child that she recovered, and the elders in the family also received some care from Zhou's father. Gradually, the relationship eased. During the days when Zhou was away from home, the only relative who had contact with her was her sister. The two have a good relationship.
Zhou Shize's sister is Annina's mother, and Zhou Shu strictly has a lot of relatives and friends, most of whom are not close, including Annina, who only met a few times during the New Year.
After strolling around the street for a while, Zhou Shu found that many shops had closed down, or they had changed owners to start other businesses. The town didn't have much trouble during the time it was banned, and compared to the city next door, which was wiped out by the Winter God and the Serpent of Malaheses, the town was only harassed by vampires. Although many people died, it was.
Zhou Shu has not found any traces of vampires in his book of summoning now. In addition to the magicians, he found several humans with high summon points, with the prefix 'powerful'. He'd seen such people in the hunters' group, and it stands to reason that their memories have been altered, and I don't know why they're still here.
Because of a cute little foreign sister by his side, Zhou Shu finally walked into a slightly forced Western restaurant and ate serious Chinese Western food.
There is nothing wrong with Chinese and Western food, and there are many examples of localized things being sold back to the world, such as Japanese Western food, which has now become an independent and popular cuisine.
Zhou Shu didn't worry about whether what he ate was authentic. The food made with vegetables bought from the farmer's market next door tastes like that. He cared about whether Turrell was happy eating.
With his head, taking a girl out is at most eating and drinking. Can't make anything too new. Originally, I was going to take him to the university library to use the number of books to give her a sense of cultural differences, but considering that Turrell might have a lot of problems because of this, I decided to forget it.
As far as Tourel is concerned, no matter what kind of food it is, it is a new and interesting otherworldly food for her, and it can already be called a delicacy. Zhou Shugang was still thinking about being entertained with apples on Tosu Island. Zhou Shu still likes those apples, but Turrell will eat delicious food. The thought of serving guests with apples littered around the island made her blush a little.
"How. Is it delicious?" Mr. Zhou looked at the chicken breast with a fork, and his heart was full of guilt for sneering Zhou Shu. He looked unhappy.
Zhou Shu frowned when he saw him like this, he thought that the food was not to Turel's taste.
"How can it be delicious! β
At the door of the restaurant, there was a strange accent of Chinese, which was obviously spoken by a foreigner. Although the four-character idiom 'difficult to swallow' is used in this sentence, foreigners usually can't master the four pronunciations when speaking Chinese, just as Chinese learn French and have difficulty getting the last sound, and the pronunciation of the two words 'swallow' makes people want to laugh.
Zhou Shu looked up, and a fairly typical Germanic man walked into the restaurant.
He casually swept the man with the book of summoning, magician, no surprise at all. The first time he saw this person, his sixth sense fluctuated slightly, indicating that this person would bring some trouble.
When the waiter saw that there were guests again, he thought he was smiling funny and came over to entertain him, "It's not delicious, you still come every day, how many can I ask?"
The man didn't seem to like the waiter's tone, "I'm here because there's nothing else to eat nearby." β
Indeed, Zhou Shu had already looked at the surrounding restaurants when he passed by here, either hot pot or barbecue, or some strange Chinese food chains, which seemed to be new, and he had never heard of them.
According to Zhou Shu's understanding of the Germans, it is still more powerful to be able to make them say that they are unpalatable. People in this country have stronger requirements for the functionality of food, and the requirements for taste are relatively general, simply put, they are more pursuing a healthy diet.
Turrell explained to Zhou Shu in a whisper, saying that she didn't find it unpalatable, and explained the reason.
Zhou Shu pinched her little hand holding the fork, indicating that she didn't care about this.
He had wanted to take Turrell away from the troublesome magician, but since she liked the food, it was better to stay and carry on the lunch. He is bolder now than before, I don't know how much. At least until he did it, he would never be able to buy something at a fast food restaurant with gold coins.
When eating with girls, Zhou Shu also did the last thing a man should do - looking around absent-mindedly.
He had to spare his mind to observe the German. Since the sixth sense has made an alarm, it must be responded to in some way. Otherwise, it is yourself who is unlucky.
The German was seated and five more companions came, all dressed in crisp suits and looking like they were selling insurance. They sat down at a table of six, and after saying hello, the first person to come in ordered.
Only one of the six of them seemed to be able to speak Chinese, and the others were all saying something in German at an astonishing speed, looking at the way they were holding the recipe and asking the person who knew Chinese, it seemed that they were also confused and completely incomprehensible to this mixed Chinese and English recipe. I guess the guys were just discussing what they should eat.
These people appear to be eating a working meal. You can see it from the point of view. They eat something that's relatively fast-food.
There are not many more reliable Western restaurants in the small city, but Zhou Shu understands why he can meet these people. This made him very depressed and decided to eat only Chinese food in the future. After all, most of the trouble comes from foreigners, and not coming to this kind of place to eat can greatly reduce the chance of meeting them.
Just as Master Zhou was swearing goodbye to the forced character, Turrell suddenly raised his head and startled him. Zhou Shu looked at his child with a puzzled expression, squeezed her hand, and asked what happened.
Turrell was also simply and directly took off the translator hanging on her clothes and stuffed it into Zhou Shu's hand.
Zhou Shu suddenly realized. I knew that this girl had heard some of the Germans' conversations through the translator, and seemed to be frightened.
He grabbed the translator and pricked up his ears to listen to the gang talking. Pray that these guys don't stupidly get together and talk about adult topics like they did with Liberty Eagle in the tavern before.
The Germans seemed to be very time-saving, and discussed things with a stern face while waiting for the meal, and the six of them gathered together, even if they were in German, which no one understood, and they still communicated in small voices, as if they were afraid of being heard.
Zhou Shu's ears are quite sensitive, and he doesn't need to use hearing-enhanced jelly beans to hear these people's conversations.
Turrell looked at Zhou Shu, who was listening carefully over there, and watched his face turn gloomy. The smile that had been on my face disappeared completely.
Zhou Shu's face changed for a reason, and he already understood why Turrell looked frightened just now. Anyone who hears of such a thing as 'absorbing the souls of the dead'. It's going to be scared.
Whether the soul exists or not, the magicians are skeptical. The living don't think there's such a thing. Master Zhou has never thought about this issue, and he doesn't believe in the so-called weight celebration at the moment of death, thinking that it is nonsense.
Now I suddenly heard this question from the mouths of a group of foreigners, if it weren't for the fact that they were magicians, Zhou Shuhui would think that they were discussing philosophy. Germans have a good understanding of philosophy, and university philosophy courses are also famous.
The group of magicians was very worried about a very serious topic, and because of their large numbers and the speed of communication, they could only listen to a little rough idea.
These people are really eating working meals, and they are also very attached to the Chinese's career-oriented and old-fashioned prejudice against the Germans, and they do not even let go of eating for such a short time, but also take them out to discuss things secretly.
At the beginning of their conversation, it was just a group of people there reporting the numbers to the guy who knew Chinese, and if it weren't for the words 'the soul of the dead in vain' in front of the numbers, Zhou Shu would have thought that this was a group of small accountants.
What they're reporting is the number of souls absorbed.
Zhou Shu wasn't quite sure if these guys were insane. If they weren't magicians, and didn't have that magician status, he would believe that these guys must have been deceived by some new religion, and their heads were in a state of confusion. Even if they were mages now, they couldn't take their word for it, after all, their mage level was super low.
With them, even the Gray Witch can be regarded as super white and rich.
After the numbers were reported, their boss said, 'There aren't many dead souls in this city, and Satan's Holy Grail is just a little bit away from being opened.'
This is even more middle two when Zhou Shu hears it. In his opinion. If Yang Xi is in this place, he may be able to go with these people.
I've heard a few things like Satan's Holy Grail, but it's just part of the demon cult of Europeans. According to the Gray Witch. Those things are just some down-and-out magicians who trick ordinary people. Both the Holy Grail of Evil and the Holy Grail of Satan are only used in the literature as a ritual instrument to enter a strange religion such as Satanism.
The chalice is a wine cup that Jesus used with his eleven disciples at the Last Supper. In the midst of those strange religions. The fictional character of Satan is also like a child, seeing that other people's saviors have a holy grail, and he wants a holy grail himself, just like a dictator wants nuclear weapons. As a result, such a term appeared, but there are still few legends about this thing.
Zhou Shu is not very sure whether his translator has achieved the 'Xindaya' standard required by radio and television when translating the words of the Germans. However, judging from the situation, what they say should have nothing to do with what they know.
They seem to be recharging the Holy Grail in their mouths with human souls that died by accident. This thing sounds like a more classical setting, and it sounds very intimate and easy to understand. Zhou Shu did not immediately react to the thing of 'vain souls of the dead', and the Germans mentioned the disappeared city next door as if they were reminding him.
'Didn't the magicians hide it from them?'
Several of the magicians complained there, saying that it was because of their visas, and that they had not been able to reach the 'Vanishing City' as quickly as possible, and that millions of souls had disappeared into thin air, and that they had not allowed the Holy Grail to absorb much. Then they changed their minds, and they were glad that there were hundreds of thousands of dead souls in the small city.
Speaking of which, Zhou Shu basically understood what was going on. The guys were like flies, sniffing the smell and finding this side. Want to harness the souls of the dead in the city. This can be regarded as the follow-up work of those chaotic people in the forbidden demon period, before Zhou Shu thought that this matter had become a thing of the past, but now this idea is a bit naΓ―ve.
The food began to be served one by one. The Germans seemed ready to end the conversation and concentrate on eating.
Before the topic ended, the guy who knew Chinese smiled and said, "Now it's only a little bit close to completing the charge, very little." β
One of them asked, "How much do you mean?" β
The magician leader smiled and pointed out the window of the hotel.
Zhou Shu sneaked along the man's finger and a taxi on the side of the road suddenly drove from the driveway to the sidewalk and slammed into the road full of pedestrians at noon.
This kind of scene that can only be seen in GTA and Hollywood movies startled Zhou Shu, and the out-of-control taxi ran over dozens of passers-by. Finally crashed into a crowded skewer shop, and with Zhou Shu's ears, he could hear the screams and wails of terror all over the street.
The clerks and customers of the western restaurant soon discovered the accident on the street as well. They all ran out to watch the excitement, and Zhou Shu and Turrell sat in their seats sweating profusely. The lunch was ruined.
The magician leader pulled out a parchment-like scroll from his pocket, which looked like a magic scroll from a video game. He grabbed the thing and shook it at the sky, then smiled and said to his companion, "There's enough energy now." β
Zhou Shu was in the next seat and sighed deeply.
He would have understood what that very faint warning from the sixth sense was all about. He wasn't hurt by the crazy taxi, and he felt quite uncomfortable.
You don't have to think about it to know that the car must have been by a magician. Turrell grabbed Zhou Shu's sleeve on the side and spoke a language that only Zhou Shu could understand, which also proved this.
As a magician, Turrell was no worse than these people, and she spotted the ghost that was going on with the guy who was snatching the snatch away.
Zhou Shu is very angry now, and he said that it was rare for him to take a girl out for a meal, and he wanted her to leave a good impression on the world, but this kind of thing happened again inexplicably.
The sick princess now treats the First World as hell, and it is harder to invite her to play than to ascend to the sky. Zhou Shu said that he was going back to his hometown to live for a few days, and he also made the sick princess worried, afraid that Zhou Shu would be in danger.
This is a very normal situation, after experiencing the Winter God, the Thousand Foot Fairy, the Vampire, the Modified Man, the Serpent of Malahers, etc., and finally seeing a big demon, you will think that this world is okay, then there are ghosts.
Zhou Shu had already annoyed these guys who were making trouble for him, and he was not ready to spare these people.
With his strength, he is still a little short of killing people silently. For murderers in modern society, the weight of the trigger is the weight of human life, and a slight pull can take away a person's life. This too easy price seems inappropriate.
Zhou Shu looked around the restaurant and found the footage of the surveillance video. Destroy these things with flames at random, then stare at the faces of the magicians and set them on fire, letting the flames burn on their skin.
The flames ignited instantly, enveloping all six people's heads. Without exception, they all shouted and opened their mouths to make sounds. The flames ran down their throats, and Zhou Shu raised the temperature of the flames slightly, turning the flames white, and soon burned their heads and internal organs.
Turrell is not a real child, Zhou Shu originally wanted to block her eyes and ears and prevent her from seeing, but she escaped.
"I can still bear Cheng DΓΉ's death like this!" she said.
For Zhou Shu, the struggles and screams of these people before they died were the weight of their lives. It's not that serious, after all, they are murderers, and they have just used the power outside of the surface world to cause a car accident. Since this is the case, it is only natural to be killed by a stronger force. I am afraid that their parchment will not absorb their souls, for they did not die unjustly.
Almost all the people in the store ran out to see the car accident on the street, and the more exciting excitement of the store was also related to these people.
After it was done, Zhou Shu walked to the dead Germans, took the parchment, received the space props, and then slipped out of the store without even paying for the meal.
Returning the translator to Turrell, Zhou Shu took her hand and slipped back to the female demon's apartment, where there were voices of men and women in the next room, and Zhou Shu was sure that Turrell could hear it.
Ignoring those trivial matters, Master Zhou handed over the parchment to Tourel, repeated to her what the Germans had said, and popularized the forbidden demon incident a little, and only said a general idea.
Turrell was really smart and quickly got to the point.
"You mean, those people are using their souls to recharge this thing?" said Turrell, who had unfolded the parchment and spread it on the table.
It was a painting, with an oil canvas pinned to the parchment, of twelve strangely shaped demons dining.
Zhou Shu smiled bitterly and began to tell Turrell about Jesus Christ. If this kind of thing is not popularized, no matter how smart this little girl is, she won't be able to understand the laughter.
For Zhou Shu, this painting is really funny, replacing Jesus and the eleven disciples with the first eleven of the seventy-two pillars of Satan and Solomon's seventy-two pillars of demon gods, which has a very spoofing feeling.
However, judging from the simple painting techniques and the solid foundation and ultra-high degree of completion of this painting, Zhou Shu is very sure that although the artistic value of the painting itself is limited, as an oil painting of the 'human camera series', this one is very up to standard. If it's really a spoof, it's really a lot of effort, and it is estimated that it will take more than a week for the average senior artist to copy this picture with computer graphics.
Zhou Shu took this thing over, completely curious and handy. He didn't know what it was for, but he guess it would be evil.
After hearing the story of Jesus, Turrell did not show any interest, and there are many similar legends in the land of the West.
After learning about Jesus, she naturally felt a little different when she looked at this painting again.
"I can feel the magic from this!"
"Magic, are you sure?"
Turrell nodded.
"Okay, I understand. Zhou Shu spread his hands, "This shouldn't be a good thing, let me burn it." (To be continued)
