Chapter 18: What Are You Doing?
"Wow-"
The baby's cry pierced the dead silence underground, and among the remains of countless children, a mass of rags wriggled and then revealed a haggard little face.
"There are still children alive!"
Merlin was shocked that there were survivors of such an evil and terrifying sacrifice.
Whoosh β
Before he could perform his sorcery, a figure had already jumped out and landed directly on the bone altar.
Looking at Zhang Huaiying, who jumped directly onto the altar without hesitation, Merlin didn't know whether to say that he was brainless or brave.
"Maybe there is such a bold ordinary person who can calculate a dark wizard who has been exposed to the forbidden power to death, alas, it's a pity......"
He looked at Zhang Huaiying's back, and a thick regret flashed in his eyes.
"If it's ten years earlier, no, it's five years earlier. If I knew him, I would have brought him back to the church, and in time he would have been a fearless knight against the dark wizards. β
Thinking of this, Merlin was even more determined not to involve Zhang Huaiying in this incident.
Such a person can do more by staying in the kingdom than by sending him to the front of the battlefield to die.
Merlin thought, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a ray of holy light to carry Zhang Huaiying and the swaddling clothes in his arms out of the underground pool of flesh and blood.
"There are three children still alive." Inside the rags, three dying children lay in Zhang Huaiying's arms, their breathing barely audible.
It is hard to imagine how a few children of three or four years old screamed to attract them in such a desperate situation, and what a strong desire to survive was.
"Ludwig, Mr. Detective, I'll go first." Merlin took the three children from Zhang Huaiying's arms, and one disappeared directly into the ground.
He wants to get the three children out of here as soon as possible and treat them himself.
Underground cavities.
Only Zhang Huaiying and the others remained.
"This commission should be considered complete."
"Sir, you have done a very good job." Ludwig exclaimed.
"But sir, I may leave a world with Mr. Merlin in the future, and as a former knight of the Church, I need to fulfill my duties as a former knight of the Church."
Zhang Huaiying waved his hand, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the ground unhurriedly.
"I'm not an evil capitalist, how can I restrict your freedom, just do something."
Looking at Zhang Huaiying's back, Ludwig stroked his chest with his right hand.
"Sir, look forward to our next meeting."
Ludwig did not leave with Zhang Huaiying, although the sacrifice here has been completed, and the altar is useless, but after all, this is the coordinate where the forbidden force arrives, and he wants to prevent anyone from approaching here.
Inside the church.
Smith was kicked out of the hall and stood in the doorway and lingered, the majestic power of holy light inside boiling for more than an hour before finally calming down.
"Smith."
The door opened, and Merlin stepped out, no expression on his face.
"Mr. Great Wizard, those three children?"
Merlin shook his head.
"They are too badly injured, they have been polluted by the ritual of the dark wizard for too long, and I have two children that I can't afford to return."
As he spoke, he pulled out two photos he had just recorded.
"Pass this on to the churches in the surrounding towns and ask them to help find the parents of these two children."
Smith took the photo, remembering that Merlin had brought back three children.
"Mr. Wizard, what about the other child? Is it to bring him back to church? β
Before Smith could finish speaking, he saw Merlin's somewhat tangled expression.
"This kid is a little different." As he spoke, Merlin led Smith into the inner sanctum.
On the bed, a child of three or four years old lay quietly on the bed.
He didn't look anything out of the ordinary until Smith leaned in.
"Roarβ"
The child, who had been quiet, suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide, like a hungry wolf cub.
A faint power of black magic spread from him.
"Mr. Great Wizard, this is ......" Smith took a step back and looked at the beast-like child in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.
"Yes, this child is so deeply infected that even though I have tried my best to purify the remnants of black magic from his body, I can't restore what has been changed."
Merlin frowned solemnly, and finally pronounced the end of the child.
"He was suffering from bestiality. I've gotten rid of the troubles, but that's all he could do with the parts that were originally transformed into beasts. β
Smith opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.
Bestiality is a side effect of dark witchcraft, and even if the child has been removed from the sequelae, the previous changes will make him extremely sensitive to the Light, and it is impossible for him to stay in a place like the Church where the Light will overflow.
And even Smith, who doesn't know white witchcraft, has the breath of white witchcraft on his body because of his perennial prayers, so this child will suddenly be stressed because of his proximity.
In the same way, the child's beastly and uncontrollable personality also determined that basically no family or welfare home would receive him.
The mental instability caused by bestiality is nothing short of a disaster.
Merlin's troubles are also because of this, he thought about it, and found that the huge kingdom actually had no place for this child.
Smith touched his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Great Wizard, I suddenly thought of someone."
"Who?"
in the room.
Zhang Huaiying stretched out his hand to tease the little guy in front of him, although he was only three or four years old, the changes in the child's body caused by the bestiality disease made his actions not inferior to the beast cubs at all.
Under Zhang Huaiying's teasing, he kept turning in circles, and finally fell to the ground so tired that he fell to the ground.
Grunting and gasping.
Merlin and Smith, who were sitting on the couch, looked at each other, although they had thought about it before.
A noble-minded detective like Zhang Huaiying may take in this child.
But isn't that a little too good for this happy scene?
"Zhang, are you sure you want to adopt him?"
"Adoption?" Zhang Huaiying said indifferently: "Anyway, this child should not worry about eating or drinking with me." β
The Ripper's prize money is too much, and even if most of it was used at the last banquet, the rest would be enough to feed a child.
"Mr. Detective, your character is extremely rare even among the people I have met in Merlin's life."
Adopting a child who doesn't know each other and is infected with bestiality is a character that can almost be hung on the wall.
"It's just a child, it's nothing." Zhang Huaiying didn't care, he got up and sent Merlin away.
When I turned around, I found that the child who had just collapsed on the ground suddenly disappeared.
"Dog, where have you been?"
Dogdan'er was the nickname he had just given the child.
Zhang Huaiying walked up to look for it, and in the dead corner of his vision, the dog was squatting behind the cabinet, smiling sinisterly like a fox.
A transparent fishing line is laid across the ground, and a bow with a good arrow tied to the other end.
In less than a dozen seconds, he actually made a trap that was enough to kill people.
Even athletic adults will never be able to do it.
He watched Zhang Huaiying approach step by step, and his front foot touched the fishing line.
Whoosh β
The bow machine expands the dial.
With a poof, he heard the sound of arrows inserting into the object.
"Hah!"
He jumped out of the closet in great excitement, and was about to admire his masterpiece, when he saw it.
Zhang Huaiying stood there intact, holding a cold-glittering crossbow arrow in his mouth.
Seeing the dog, Zhang Huaiying's face was not angry, but excited.
"Wow,, did you do that?"
"Teach me quickly, how do you do this trick!"
Trick?
The dog was stunned, looking at Zhang Huaiying, who didn't care about it, and seemed to take his killing intent as a prank.
He was angry.
"It's not a prank!"
"Huh?" Zhang Huaiying's eyes lit up.
"Can you speak?" Without waiting for the dog to respond, he grabbed the other party and pressed him against the sofa with irresistible force.
"It's great to be able to talk, tell me how you did your trap?"
"You ......" A faint aura of black magic permeated his body, but in the next second, he remembered Merlin who hadn't gone far.
The power of the black magic was put away by him, and he looked at the face of the hippie smiling face in front of him.
He decided.
The first thing he did to become a black witch money was to take out this damn ordinary person.
