Chapter 3: Things Are Always Unexpected (5,000 words)

At night in the town, it was cold and silent, and the lonely moon hung high.

The icy stone pavement, with wet water trails still in the crevices.

Fu Jinghai walked alone on this wet and cold stone road, a breeze stirred his black hair, and black clouds covered the moon.

Fu Jinghai, who was walking with his head bored, felt something, and when he looked up, he saw a person standing not far in front of him.

The breeze also ruffled her big black wavy hair, revealing a delicate pretty face.

"Chen Xue......" Fu Jinghai was slightly stunned and asked:

"You've also come to this dungeon world of the Conjuring Universe?"

Not far away, the tall royal sister standing alone stood in the middle of the road, revealing Fu Jinghai's familiar smiling expression.

Suddenly, with a "bang", Chen Xue turned into a pink demon with a big mouth with cascading sharp teeth and wielding slender appendages, and shouted in a whoa-wow-wow-wow-la-la-la-la

"I'm not Chen Xue, I'm a fan demon!"

"Your mother'......"

Fu Jinghai suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up.

I looked around at the familiar beds and wooden furniture, the familiar attic cubicles and curtains.

It turned out to be a dream.

Fu Jinghai gasped slightly.

I feel a little stunned.

Fu Jinghai sat on the bed with a thin quilt on his legs.

Wrong......

After waking up from the dream, Fu Jinghai, who had regained a little rational thinking, frowned.

I'm Astarte, and I'm not supposed to dream.

Astarte has been implanted in the back of his head with an organ called a "stiff node" that autonomously regulates sleep, and once he falls asleep, he is in deep sleep and does not dream at all.

Once Astarte's Legion Think Tank dreams, it will take the scene in the dream as a kind of psionic prophecy or psionic warning.

Since Fu Jinghai became Astarte, the only time he has dreamed is when the Stiletto sails in subspace and is invaded by an unknown psionic being.

So, by analogy from the last time I dreamed...... Fu Jinghai thought back to the last dream, and had some bad premonitions in his heart.

The task of reincarnation in the world this time is probably not that simple.

Fu Jinghai got up and dressed and washed.

After yesterday's meeting in the cellar of Rusfan, according to Sir Knight's request, everyone gathered at the entrance of the town early this morning and went to a place called the village of Beltan.

Any action in a horror movie, try not to choose it at night.

This does not need to be taught by anyone, it is the consensus of all reincarnations.

So the departure time was set very early.

Fu Jinghai put the tile steel sword on his back and went downstairs to set off.

The sky was still bright, Fu Jinghai stepped on the stone road in the town, and when he looked up, the clouds had dissipated, and it was a rare sunny day.

Fu Jinghai came to the agreed entrance of the town, where there were already seven or eight people standing in twos and threes.

These people are dressed like the locals.

Fu Jinghai walked over, and then saw that a woman dressed in black and with black hair was surrounded by several reincarnators.

The voice reached Fu Jinghai's ears.

"Yo, isn't this Zhang Yuning, isn't he unwilling to join us? Why is it here again now? ”

"Like, why did we get together again when we left?"

"Pretend to be Nima's tallest, if you want to be a lone ranger, don't come to rub our team."

Fu Jinghai leaned over to take a look, it was a girl with a black long straight princess, surrounded by a few reincarnators who appeared in the cellar last night.

This woman looks long and slender, and under the bangs of the black princess is a cold world-weary face, with three white eyes, plump lips, a straight nose, deep eyes, and it seems that she has drawn a deeper eyeliner, and her visual age is only in her twenties, but her temperament looks gloomy and mature.

The woman who was surrounded by four men raised her eyes and swept the surrounding reincarnators, and said in a cold voice:

"I didn't say I was going to go my own way with you, don't bother me."

When a man heard this, he said in a strange way:

"Tsk, he said he wouldn't be with us, but his body was very honest, and he came here early in the morning to wait, didn't he just want to follow us to the monastery."

"That's it, I want to follow the others, and I don't want to accept the command of Sir Rusfan, so I have a cheeky face, it's really you."

Fu Jinghai outside the station understood.

There is no distinction between camps in this copy world, under the call of the senior reincarnation Lu Sifan, many reincarnators chose to report to the group for warmth, which is also the instinctive reaction of social animals in the face of unknown horrors, and this cold young lady seems to have rejected Lu Sifan's invitation and is unwilling to be with this group of people, but at this moment she appeared here again.

So the reincarnators thought that this was a hard-mouthed person who came to rub the team's protection.

Fu Jinghai didn't bother to care about these bullshit things, and turned his head when he understood it, he was now more concerned about what Lu Sifan's plan was, and Lu Sifan came up and judged that this was the Conjuring Universe, which obviously had some understanding of the plot.

As for the woman...... If others want to follow, they can follow it, and the road is not built by you, so let others follow you and you will not lose a piece of meat.

Fu Jinghai pursed his lips disdainfully, these four men were entangled around this young woman for a long time, and to put it bluntly, it was not because the women wanted to follow them.

It's not that I want to take the opportunity to rub some oil to see how beautiful a woman looks.

Listening to this name Zhang Yuning, it should be a Chinese, Fu Jinghai turned his head to take a look, and found that these men looked eager to try, and a little jealous, and secretly said in his heart that there is a thief's heart but not a thief's courage.

"Get out of here!"

The woman scolded, and a pair of Danfeng eyes looked at a man behind him who was about to move his hands and feet.

Fu Jinghai, who was standing aside with his hands in his hands, was a little overwhelmed, and said:

"Hey, it's almost there."

One of the lean men turned around, looked Fu Jinghai up and down, squinted his eyes and asked:

"Are you teaching me a lesson? Nosy kid. ”

Fu Jinghai nodded: "Yes." ”

The lean man pulled out a pistol from his waist, held it in his hand, pointed at Fu Jinghai and said:

"I know you, muscle-boosting guy, picked up a couple of local farmers and made you feel like you're strong? You can come and try it with me and see if my bullets are hard or your muscles are hard. ”

Fu Jinghai also narrowed his eyes, looking at the lean man who pulled out his gun without saying a word, and the pistol he pointed at in his hand.

This is a Browning M1911, a very classic pistol, but not badly powerful.

The hand holding the gun is also very steady, and there is no bells and whistles of the gang members.

Astarte's body is not invulnerable, its defense mainly comes from power armor, if it is in the Warhammer 40K universe, Fu Jinghai will not look at this person and this gun, even if it is unprotected and hard to connect a .45 caliber pistol bullet, it will not cause fatal damage to Astarte's body.

But this is an A-level conjuring universe, and Fu Jinghai doesn't know to what extent his biochemical transformation body has been suppressed.

The gun is fast at seven paces, and the gun is accurate and fast at seven steps.

That's true, but it doesn't apply to Astarte, now that the two are less than two meters apart, Fu Jinghai is confident that he can punch him to death before the other party shoots.

Fu Jinghai's only concern was...... Will beating him to death deduct his assimilation points?

Just when Fu Jinghai's murderous intent was gradually rising...... A somber voice interrupted the two men in the standoff.

"Calm down, both."

Rusfan finally arrived, and the gloomy man was covered in a pitch-black cloak today, as if he was hiding from the sun.

Rusfan glanced at the situation and said:

"Gentlemen, there's no need, we all belong to the same camp, and you can't get assimilation points by killing each other, so why bother?"

The lean man snorted coldly and put away the M1911 pistol in his hand.

Fu Jinghai seemed to be calm and relaxed, and his body did not move.

If it weren't for Rusfan's arrival just in time, this lean man would have been separated by now.

Lu Sifan turned his head to look at the black-haired woman, sighed, and said:

"Miss Zhang Yuning, I've heard of you, the only reincarnation who came back alive from the cursed universe, you should have joined my team, it's good for everyone."

Zhang Yuning glanced at Lu Sifan lightly and said:

"No, take care of the people who follow you, and don't ask for trouble."

After speaking, Fu Jinghai, who couldn't see the words of help, glanced at it, and turned around and walked directly on the road.

Fu Jinghai looked at the slender back of this woman, although he only said that he was not used to it, and he didn't want anything, but he was also slightly unhappy when he saw this woman's attitude at this time.

Almost emotionless, apathetic.

Lu Sifan took a deep look at Zhang Yuning's back, he was a little unable to see through and was not sure about this woman.

It doesn't seem to have any special abilities.

But she was able to come out alive from the cursed universe where countless reincarnators had been buried, and among the three thousand reincarnators who entered the cursed universe together, she was the only one who came out alive.

Lu Sifan said in a deep voice:

"Leave her alone, the task is important, let's go, and get to the village of Beltan before noon."

The reincarnators in the cellar meeting also formed a loose line and walked along the main road outside the town.

Hiding in the shadow of the cloak, Lu Sifan explained to the reincarnators in the team as he walked:

"Ladies and gentlemen, before I entered the world of reincarnation, I once watched the movie "Nun", which probably tells the story of a senior priest and a trainee nun with psychic abilities, who were assigned by the Vatican to come to the Santa Cata Monastery in the village of Beltan to deal with the successive suicides of nuns here."

Rusfan did not explain why the Vatican Holy See attached so much importance to the monastery in this remote village, but Fu Jinghai, who had a little common sense, knew:

Suicide is a very serious sin in Catholic doctrine, and a person who commits suicide cannot go to heaven and cannot be saved by the Lord.

And the nun is a person who serves God, and the nuns in a convent commit suicide continuously, which can be described as very strange and serious.

Rusfan went on to say:

In reality, the essence of this monastery is a seal in which the devout nuns pray day and night to seal a demon named Valak. During World War II, Romania belonged to the Axis camp, and was bombed by the Allied air force and the Soviet air force, and the monastery was affected by Soviet aerial bombs, the demonic seal was broken, and Warak was released. ”

The journey to the village of Beltan and the monastery of Santa Cata is not too close, the reincarnators need to climb over valleys and hills, and there are also horse-drawn carriage rentals in the town, but the reincarnators present have experienced all kinds of cruel environments, although they do not necessarily have special abilities, but at least they have the physical strength and endurance to travel long distances.

So it's all on foot.

The gloomy and beautiful woman named Zhang Yuning was not far behind everyone.

Lu Sifan said slowly:

"The entire monastery, as well as the surrounding area, is within the sphere of activity and power of the demon Valak, who is imprisoned here, and if he wants to leave, he must have a living person possessed, which is why the devout nuns chose to commit suicide, and when they die, Valak cannot leave the monastery."

"I can tell you directly the ending of the movie, I don't know where the main character, the priest and the trainee nun are, but I want to tell you that it is not difficult to seal this demon, his sealing point is hidden under a pool, and the prop needed to seal him is the blood of Jesus, and the last bottle of the blood of Jesus is stored in the storage room in the monastery."

Lu Sifan stepped forward, with a calm tone in his chest, and said:

"Valak will definitely do everything in his power to prevent us from entering the storage room to obtain the blood of Jesus, but it doesn't matter, we just need to remember that when you see a horrible nun with no pupils and a twisted and abominable face in the convent, it is Valak."

Rusfan added:

"This is because the prayers of the nuns have been suppressed for hundreds of years, so Valak, who broke the seal, chose to turn into the image of a ghost nun to do evil, as a mockery of these nuns and God."

After listening to Lu Sifan's explanation, the reincarnators present were full of confidence, and the heavy atmosphere was swept away.

For a horror movie where good finally triumphs over evil, once you know the ending of the plot and know the way to restrain the demons and monsters, you will basically win half of the battle.

Fu Jinghai, who was mixed in the middle of the team, caught up with the leader Lu Sifan in a few steps and asked:

"Sir, did you say that Valak had to possess a living person in order to leave the confines of the Abbey, was this a strict condition? Are there any exceptions? ”

Lu Sifan glanced up at Fu Jinghai and explained:

"In the setting of the conjuring universe, all demons and evil spirits and ghosts need to be summoned by mortals to come to the world, and at the same time, they also need to be attached to a carrier, which may be a person or a thing, but none of them can exist independently."

Fu Jinghai nodded, thoughtful.

The people came to the village of Beltan, but instead of entering the village, they went directly to the mountain.

Halfway through, one crosses a grave area with a dense array of tombstones, each with a small bell tied to it.

It was noon, the sun was shining, and the crowd had walked on the grassy road to the Monastery of Santa Cata.

However, when Lu Sifan, who was originally full of confidence and confidence, stood in front of the monastery, he was stunned for a moment, and his whole person stood stiffly in place.

The other reincarnators were also stunned, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.

In front of you, the monastery, which was originally built with stone piles and wooden supports, is now left in a mess of ruins.

There are no spires and bell towers, no large crosses, no stained glass, no storage rooms and no blood of Jesus.

There is only a ruined ruin.

Lu Sifan's eyes were glazed, his mouth was spurting, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The monasteries are gone......

And what about Valak?

What about the demon Valak, whom everyone wants to seal?

Fu Jinghai did not fall into a stupor and dazed like the others, he quickly came to the ruins, squatted in front of a broken stone brick, reached out and rubbed the broken powder, rubbed it in his fingers, put it under his nose and sniffed it, turned back to everyone and said:

"It's C4 explosives."

C4 plastic explosives, a kind of explosives that are easy to use, safe, powerful, and easy to carry, are essential for home travel.

Rusfan was so angry that his mouth was trembling, and he said:

"Damn, damn it, someone must have arrived here before us, these fools who did it blindly without watching the movie, self-righteous fools, they thought that blowing up the monastery would destroy the demon Valak, but they destroyed Valak's greatest bondage!"

Fu Jinghai frowned, got up and leaned over to Lu Sifan and asked:

"Sir, you said earlier that Valak must be possessed by a living person to leave the confines of the Abbey."

Rusfan nodded and said angrily: "That's right, now Valak must have possessed a certain reincarnation and left here, Europe is big, the earth is big, where are we going to find this demon!" ”

Lu Sifan's words were full of remorse and anger, and the reincarnators present also showed despair when they heard this.

It seems that "reincarnation of life-1" has become inevitable.

Fu Jinghai said:

"It doesn't have to be so large, this copy world that we just came to yesterday, even if someone arrives one step ahead of us, it is impossible to get there early, I analyzed the traces of the explosion at the scene, and it happened not long ago, as long as we carefully search for the traces of the scene and find the direction in which the reincarnators left, we will soon be able to catch up with them."

"That's right!"

"That's right, Sir, we might find the demon again."

Fu Jinghai's words made the eyes of everyone present light up, and a faint hope was ignited in their hearts, regardless of whether they knew reconnaissance or not, they all scattered in all directions to find traces.

Footprints, cigarette butts, broken branches, and fresh soil have all become the target clues that the reincarnators are desperately looking for.

Soon, everyone gathered all the clues they found and locked on a direction.

It is the road that leads to the village of Beltan at the foot of the mountain!

Those people, after blowing up the monastery and leaving, went to the village of Bertan.
