Chapter 2: The Sacrificial Tree

"Carl... Cal... Carl"

The whispers echoed throughout the town of Cons, and from a distance, it seemed that a man was lying on the ground, unsure of whether he was alive or dead. A group of strange corpses twisted their bodies and moved towards the center of the town, and in the center of the town a huge tree rose from the ground, its branches and leaves were still expanding, gradually enveloping the entire town of Cons, and the part of its rhizome was also growing wildly, and the huge roots stretched out in the streets of the town, and the town was destroyed for a while. The corpses crawled over some of the collapsed ruins to the bottom of the giant tree, slowly merging their bodies into the trunk, all of which were absorbed as the trunk writhed.

When I looked up, a baby-like lump of flesh began to grow between the branches, and there was a faint sound of soft crying.

He Su gasped violently and struggled, he subconsciously looked around, afraid that those monsters would appear again.

"Ahemβ€”" he coughed, and at a glance he saw the huge canopy of trees hanging over the town. At this time, the canopy seemed to sense, and slowly stretched out a branch, and before He Su could react, he rolled him up with a fierce force, and slowly lifted him to the ground.

He Su shouted for help, but no one responded to him, and gradually he was rolled up and sent to the center of the town.

"Carl... Cal... Cleras"

A buzzing sound came.

"What the hell is this?" He Su roared.

Roll up his branches and send him to the foot of the giant tree, touching the trunk with him. Suddenly, a black, unidentified liquid flows out of the trunk, accompanied by a strong smell of corrosion. He Su was thrown down by the branches, and immediately covered his mouth when he saw the scene in front of him, he didn't want to die under these black liquids inexplicably.

After a while, the black liquid had filled the entire center of the town, and the towering tree had become a large part of the dwarf. By this time, the black liquid had stopped flowing out after the giant tree buzzed.

He Su watched the familiar town in front of him turn into such a strange scene, and for a while, he forgot about being afraid and running away, and stood stupidly in place.

Until a baby's cry came from the canopy. This cry seemed to be the beginning, followed by more and more cries, followed by the sound of something falling. It's dense, and it sounds like an extremely terrifying number.

"Cleras..."

A whisper sounded in He Su's head, "Cleras... Be... What is it. He only had time to think for a moment before he lost consciousness.

The town of Cons, which is the gateway from the port of Josto del to the port of Macali, was so economically and culturally prosperous that it was once known as the economic heart of the Moloto Empire. The scale of Constance has long surpassed that of some low-level cities, and it is a real gathering place for the rich. Therefore, the Molotto Empire also has a very strict control over this place, and there are not only many guards belonging to the royal family stationed near the town of Cons, but also many of the guards of the major merchants themselves. The current ruler of the town is Aares Molotto, the younger brother of Jacques Moloto III, Prince Molotto.

"Good morning, Dr. Ho Su." He Su was sitting in front of the hospital at the moment, looking at the passers-by with a somewhat dull gaze.

"Good morning, Mrs. Freddy." He Su nodded to the person who greeted him and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Mrs. Freddy, but the hospital is closed today." ”

Mrs. Freddie smiled, "It's okay, then I'll come back tomorrow." ”

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Freddie, He Su walked back to the hospital and sat down, he rubbed his head, it seemed that he couldn't remember something, he always had an inexplicable sense of fear when he looked at the passers-by, as if they would become a monster at any time.

He muttered a few words, then smiled bitterly, and prescribed himself some medicine to wake up and relieve his work. After taking the medicine, he fell asleep all over the chair.

A black carriage runs through the streets of Conse, and the most striking thing about it is not its magnificence, but the symbol that belongs to a certain family.

The carriage drove all the way to the door of He Su's medical hall before stopping. The fact that such a magnificent carriage was parked here could not help but be discussed in the surrounding crowd. At this time, a middle-aged man slowly walked down from the carriage, he was gorgeously dressed and dignified, the man glanced sideways and slowly walked into He Su's medical hall.

When he arrived at the medical hall, the middle-aged man found that He Su was sleeping soundly, and he didn't wake him up, so he found a chair and sat on the side and waited.

This wait was about two hours, and during this time, the news that a certain family's carriage was parked at the entrance of He Su's Medical Hall also quietly spread.

The middle-aged man saw He Su wake up and wanted to be the first to speak, but was interrupted by He Su. He Su glanced at him and said, "What are you doing here?" ””

The middle-aged man pouted and said, "Carl...", "Call me He Su here," He Su said. "Yes, Mr. He Su, I'm here to pick you up from Constance Town." The middle-aged man said, bowing down.

"Pick me up? What's going on? He Su frowned, not understanding what was happening.

The middle-aged man said, "Mr. He Su, you called us yesterday afternoon to pick you up and leave here. He paused, adding, "Probably in the afternoon." And your tone is still flustered."

"Afternoon... Panic. He Su pondered the man's words, and suddenly a sharp headache swept over, as if something wanted to get out. The man hurriedly hugged He Su and said, "Mr. He Su, are you okay?" He Su waved his hand and rubbed his head vigorously, and after a long time, he said, "Well, I know, you find a place to live first, and I will contact you later." ”

"Yes, Mr. Ho Su."

As the man left, He Su took another pair of medicines and fell asleep groggily.

When night fell on the town of Cons, the bright moon looked particularly enchanting in the dark night sky, the moonlight sprinkled on the town of Cons, covering a silvery white veil, and the other orange and yellow lights seemed to be dotted with the silver veil to form a beautiful starry sky.

In the alley next to He Su's medical hall, there was a sudden sound of sizzling, and it sounded like something was squirming, but after a while, the sound suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The next morning, He Su pushed open the door of the medical hall, and after resting for the night, his mental state brought about by the pain had turned back, and when he saw the street in front of him, he suddenly felt as if something was missing.

At noon, He Su went upstairs with the door half-closed, and upstairs was the middle-aged man who had been waiting for a long time.

"Tell me more about the day."

"Yes, Mr. He Su..."

After hearing this, He Su fell into deep thought, he savored the words from the man's mouth, nodded after a long time and said, "Okay, I understand, you go and prepare for us to leave Constance Town later." ”

When the man arrived, he turned around and walked downstairs out of the infirmary, and a few flashes disappeared.

He Su also went downstairs and closed the door after posting a notice at the door. At this time, a more violent sizzling sound came from the alley next to him, and He Su faintly heard the sound, and crawled through the window to see that there was nothing.

After a while, the middle-aged man had already prepared the carriage and stopped in front of the He Su Medical Hall. He Su got into the car with him.

"I don't know why I always have a feeling of heart palpitations." He Su felt it faintly, but he didn't know why.

The carriage drove away from Constance Town, and as it got farther and farther, He Su glanced behind him through the curtain.

At this glance, he suddenly understood something. The towering trees still shrouded Cons, and the monsters seemed to be chasing them, but luckily they weren't fast. And then there are some branches that spread to them.

He Su forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and at this moment he recalled it all, and he suppressed his voice and said to the middle-aged man: "Hurry up and get out of here!" ”

The man glanced at him, his eyes full of doubt, but he did not hesitate to urge the coachman to move the carriage quickly.
