The day after Abel walked out of the abandoned warehouse, many hideous and terrifying sculptures suddenly appeared on Barracuda Street for no apparent reason, all of which were indescribably strange images.

These things filled the streets, and many of the residents of the royal city found the statues when they woke up to take a stroll around, and some of the timid children were frightened and cried on the spot.

But before the news reached the ears of the archpriest and Hughes, it made the headlines of the newspapers, which caused more curious people to pour into the street, including the students of the Imperial Academy, after all, the academy was too close to be ignored by the crowds.

Sherlock was in the middle of it, he was pulled over by Bruce, and unlike the curiosity of the others, Bruce was simply a good person, and he had a hunch that this matter would make a big fuss.

"These statues are very much like what we came across on Whitsunday." Solomon was caught in the crowd of spectators, and said to Bruce in front of him with difficulty: "If they are also demon statues, I don't think we should watch the play here, but get away from here." ”

Bruce laughed and helped pull him out of the crowd before saying, "Something that has not happened in a hundred years is right in front of you, and you are only thinking about how to escape." ”

He pressed Sherlock on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't you feel it?" ”

Sherlock didn't know why he said that, and asked, "Feel what?" ”

"First of all, the big guy in the sky appeared in the royal city out of thin air, and everyone was crazy at that time, but after so long, we actually got used to its existence."

Speaking of this, Bruce laughed to himself: "This is one of the flaws of human beings, it's like boiling frogs in warm water, we will end up numb." ”

Sherlock listened to this and looked at the sculptures that dotted Barracuda Street. He said in a distracted manner: "The things in the sky have not moved, and we thought they were harmless, so let's do this." ”

Bruce blinked his eyes and shook his index finger: "You see, I said that this ghost era is numbing us, but any normal person will understand one thing when he encounters this kind of thing." But you look around. He shook Sherlock's shoulder, took him around, and continued, "Do you think there is fear and vigilance in the eyes of these people? ”

Sherlock just wanted to open his mouth to ask what he understood, this guy said something he didn't understand today, but he was randomly urged by Bruce to read it first.

Sherlock looked into the eyes of the people one by one, with surprise, disgust, and many emotions, but no fear.

"When a person is faced with something extremely dangerous, there is only one feeling that drives us to fight bravely for survival, and that is fear."

"Let's just talk about this thing in the sky, similar to you meeting a sleeping tiger in the forest, what would a normal person do?"

Sherlock shrugged his shoulders: "The first time, uh, don't say it, the first thing that comes to mind is fear." After that, they either fled for their lives or destroyed it with a pistol. ”

Bruce nodded in satisfaction, he didn't know if Sherlock understood what he meant.

Humans are frightened when they see a beast, but after the warm erosion of the gray mist, it is more strange to see an even more terrifying aberration.

It's actually a very bad thing, people let their guard down, their brains start to numb, thinking that this thing is what it is, and then one day the gray mist will kill you in one go.

Most of the people in this world are still indulging in the light left by the sun god, thinking that it is like a fairy tale, where monsters appear, knights solve, and it seems that this is how everything works.

Sherlock wasn't stupid, and he began to realize what Bruce was trying to elaborate on, and said thoughtfully, "yes, actually, Grey Haze isn't an ordinary thing. But I still don't understand one thing, that is, you just said that when you see something in the sky, normal people will understand one thing, what do you want to say? ”

Bruce smiled indifferently, first looking up at the sky, and then turned to look at himself after a long time.

"The world is coming to an end, brother, do we enjoy what little time we have, we may be the last generation of the first millennium, as for the second millennium? Save it, no. ”

Sherlock didn't know why he could say such a pessimistic thing calmly, scratched his hair, and said, "Churches or corporations, they're always saviors." ”

"If the Church has a way, why don't they kill Lalaye on the first day he descends into the sky?" Bruce's question left him with a lot to think about.

The sun god will die, the moon god will wither, and the church will have long since entered its old age, and now it is full of gray hair.

At this moment, there was a whistling sound in the air, and the small flying machines of the church came to the sky above Barracuda Street in a network, and Sherlock and Bruce fixed their eyes to see that Margaret and Abel were actually among them, both dressed as hunters.

The two of them were called by Jackson with urgent signs, saying that the Grand Priest was furious in the council chamber after learning about this, and why a street newspaper got the news faster than here.

Then the hunters were organized and began to control the place strongly.

Bruce lamented, "The Hunter is so late to us who are watchers, something that would have been unthinkable hundreds of years ago. ”

He then turned around and left the place, not forgetting to tell Sherlock, "Sherlock, think about what I said, then, 'See you in hell.'" ”

"Hey, at least I have some hope for the world." Sherlock said helplessly, and then walked in the same direction away from Barracuda Street, not forgetting to look at Abel and Margaret again.

Five minutes later, numerous hunters reached the surface, blew their horns, and began to evacuate the crowd.

Abel stood in place, his expression was solemn, he didn't expect that the first time he carried out a real purification order was actually on Barracuda Street, looking at these statues, most of them were good things done by the carver.

Margaret was bouncing up and down with excitement, and she was surrounded by a sense of excitement.

Jackson in the middle looked reluctant, being scolded and shouted from sleep, and when the other party was still a high-level church member and couldn't fight, of course his mood would become very bad.

He was dissatisfied with the slow pace of the crowd's departure, so he pinched his waist and shouted impatiently, "All right, princes and people of the royal city, get out of here before these statues wake up and kill you all." ”

The speed was still on the slow side, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and the hunters behind him showed their weapons when they saw this—of course this is an ordinary hunter, the extraordinary hunter has not yet arrived, they all use the extraordinary power that has been carefully configured, and they are ruthless when they attack, regardless of whether it is a human or an aberrant on the other side.

In their eyes, the same kind is nothing more than a monster with two legs and two legs, and one head.

Ordinary hunters began to push the crowd out of Barracuda Street quickly, and regardless of the fact that some people fell and were being trampled, they just kept repeating: "Please get out of here, the church has intervened." ”

The scene became chaotic for a while, and Margaret asked Jackson, "Isn't this not good, you see some people have fallen to the ground." ”

Jackson slapped Margaret on the head hard: "Idiot, have you forgotten how to be a hunter, you can't be merciful." If you tell them to leave, these guys will just walk slowly, and they will sneak back a few more after a while, and when these statues are activated, do you think you can protect everyone in an instant? ”

She honestly replied, "No." ”

"That's it, silly Bai Tian, don't be selfishly a virgin."

Margaret was aggrieved, she just wanted to be human, but Jackson said that human touch was the most useless thing at this time.

After the hunter's intimidation and pushing, the crowd finally evacuated much faster, and seeing this, Margaret finally realized that her request was a little stupid.

Jackson immediately gave the order to check every strange little shop on Barracuda Street, and if anyone remained here, just drive them out.

At the same time, if there is a place similar to the manufacture of sculptures, all the others present are to be detained pending the judgment of the Church, and all the supreme believers who may be found are to be executed on the spot.

Abel and Margaret went to Alice's dream shop for the first time, after all, Vincent was most likely left there, and as for Aunt Alice herself, Abel believed that even if she stayed here, the church would not be able to catch her.

After striking the stone wall again and uttering the code words, "Alice is the greatest witch of all time", the Infinity Gate unfolds and turns the wall.

The small shop was now more deserted than before, and there was not a single customer inside, except for Vincent who was taking advantage of this free time to paint something on the drawing board.

He raised his eyes and smiled at how Abel had come so often recently, and he had not seen anyone for a long time.

But then his expression became very surprised. Because he saw Abel's hunter's outfit, and the pure gold medal: "Well, you're a hunter?" Oh my God, Mei knows. ”

"It's a long story." Abel said helplessly: "Now the important thing is that you must quickly close the infinite door and stop the small shop from connecting with the space here, I don't know why the streets are full of sculptures now, and the church is starting to control this place." ”

Hearing this, Vincent immediately put down his paintbrush and asked, "So urgent?" Looks like something big must have happened, but I know, I'm going to close the Infinity Gate now. ”

At this moment, Alice and Solomon also happened to come here through the Infinity Gate at No. 1 Lieyang Street, and she said softly, "It can't be closed." ”

"Lady Alice?" Margaret didn't quite understand the magic of the Moon House's Infinity Gate, and she was surprised how Alice got here.

"The church says you can't keep people in every little shop on the street."

Alice squinted and smiled, "I'm sorry, Miss Margaret, but the people of the business are not under the control of the church, even if this is the royal city. ”
