Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dog Sees People's Hearts
Seeing Shirley walking towards him murderously, Duncan couldn't help but sigh, saying in his heart that this trouble would finally fall on his head.
He wasn't too nervous, although in all fairness, he knew that he had almost no combat experience, and the girl in front of him looked like a strong female who could get in and out of Nagasaka Slope, but he didn't panic at all.
First of all, he has a pigeon who is good at delaying chopping, Ae's ability is instant in the area of influence, and it is faster to launch than to rob, Shirley is really a dog who is afraid that he will be defeated by the pigeon with a high ping in mid-air, and then lose the bag and die.
Secondly, he controls the spirit flame that has a miraculous effect on all transcendent things, and this fire can even control the Lost Country, and the dark hound in front of him is not more difficult to deal with than the bunch of demons and monsters on the Lost Country, right? It's a big deal that a flame possession wraps around his body, and then it's his area of expertise: girl, I see that your dog is related to me......
Finally, and most importantly, this body is not his essence anyway.
At this moment, all he uses is an avatar, although from a physiological point of view, this avatar seems to be alive, but in essence, "it" is still just a corpse driven by the power of ghosts, Duncan does not need this body to remain physiologically intact to drive it to move, just like the "avatar" in the sewer that can still move without a heart, he only needs this body to "exist" to continue to use it.
He even doubted that even if his current avatar was dismantled, he would be able to control it and go home in batches......
The only thing to worry about is that if she is smashed by a meteor hound and breaks her whole body, how will she explain her uncle's bone wonder to Nina when she returns......
He stood here calmly, watching the girl in the black dress come to him, watching the black chain in her hand sway in mid-air, and the strange and terrifying ghost hound slowly followed his master with elusive steps.
Because of the fierce battle before, the girl had a lot of blood stains on her arms and cheeks, which completely destroyed the quiet and well-behaved feeling she gave people at the beginning, and instead showed a strange danger.
"You're not afraid, it's really weird," Shirley stopped two or three meters in front of Duncan, frowned and looked at the "Sun Cultist" in front of her, while her right hand was slowly raised quietly, "Have you given up resistance?" โ
Duncan thought for a moment, "I'm going to say I'm not with them, do you believe me?" โ
As he spoke, he quietly rubbed his fingers in his pockets, letting the illusory spirit flames slowly swim between his clothes and skin, to prevent the girl from hitting people with dogs without saying a word.
Shirley was stunned for a moment, and her blood-stained face slowly showed an expression of "you TM are teasing me": "You think I'm ......"
Before she could finish speaking, the ghostly hound next to her suddenly spoke, and a hoarse and low voice came out of his throat intertwined with bones: "I believe it." โ
"Ah...... Yes? Shirley looked at her summon in astonishment, "Dog, you just broke your brain?" This ......"
"You wait a minute," the ghostly hound shook his head, then walked to the side under Duncan's gaze, and craned his neck, "Heyโ"
The sound of vomit echoed through the bloodstained basement, and the terrifying demon from the deep sea turned over the river and the sea on the spot, spitting out countless choking black flames, ashes, and black dirt like acid, and the reinforced concrete floor hissed as it was corroded by those pollutants, and in the blink of an eye, it was dented.
Duncan watched this scene expressionlessly, wondering if he had mastered the shortcomings of this "Shirley" combat effectiveness - although this girl has great strength, ruthlessness, and strange combat style, she is obviously not good at long-lasting combat.
The key lies in her style of play, people can stand it, but dogs can't stand it.
So the atmosphere was so awkward for two or three minutes, and when the vomiting of the ghostly hound finally calmed down, Duncan couldn't help but look at it: "...... Are you okay? โ
The dog immediately lowered his head, and the tail formed by the coiled bones was tightly clamped under his crotch: "Thank you for your concern, I hope that my faux pas have not stained your eyes, what else do you command?" If it's okay, we'll go first......"
Before Duncan could react to what was going on with the dog, Shirley exclaimed first: "Dog, are you really okay?" I just broke your head?! You don't usually talk to humans so politely, and the person standing across from you can't save his mother after ten seconds......"
Duncan had already faintly reacted at this moment, and he suddenly looked at the fierce and terrifying ghostly hound, and his eyes became deep.
According to the words I heard from the Sun Priest just now, the "giant dog" in front of me was actually some kind of demon summoned from the deep sea, regardless of what the so-called Annihilation Sect was all about, and regardless of what strange things were in the deep sea, why could a dog be summoned, one thing was at least obvious:
This "dog" is afraid of itself, this demon from the deep sea, it ...... It is likely that they have a different "vision" than ordinary humans.
"Do you know who I am?" Duncan said lightly, "Do you know me?" โ
"I don't know, I don't know," the ghost hound didn't even raise his head, "I really don't know...... But you're definitely a big deal, there's no doubt about it......"
Duncan frowned and asked, "I don't look like a human in your eyes, do I?" โ
The Hound hesitated for a moment, and then looked up at Duncan very cautiously before hesitantly saying, "You...... Is it like ...... Still doesn't look like it......"
Duncan withdrew his gaze and looked at Shirley to the side.
The girl in the black dress was looking at her in disbeliefโshe had finally put away her initial hostility and replaced it with a thick sense of astonishment and wariness.
This girl's personality looks a little reckless, but she is obviously not stupid, after her "pet dog" continues to show such abnormal reactions, even the most reckless personality will calm down at this time, and begin to notice that something is wrong.
She quietly tightened the chain between her and the Hound Hound as she quietly took a half-step back, carefully looking at Duncan, "You just said you weren't with them......"
"yes," Duncan said, spreading his hands, "you may not believe me, but I'm also involved in the search for information......
"I believe it." Shirley said crisply.
This time it was Duncan's turn to be a little surprised, he suddenly found that the impression that this girl brought to him had been changing, at first he thought that the other party was a quiet and well-behaved child, but she showed a violent and bloody side, just now he thought that the other party was a reckless tendon, but now she is moving faster than he imagined......
What kind of family must be this to raise such a child?
With strange thoughts turning in his heart, Duncan was also a little overwhelmed by the other party's overly straightforward attitude, he settled down, and then organized the problem: "Why did you look at me twice in a row during the assembly just now. โ
"It's Ah Dog who has been paying attention to you," Shirley replied a little reluctantly, but still honestly cooperated, "I just looked at it with curiosity......
"Dog? Is that it? Duncan frowned and glanced at the pitch-black bone hound, "I just heard that priest mention the Annihilation Sect - this is a church that worships the deep sea?" What do you have to do with this Annihilation Sect? โ
"I have nothing to do with them!" Shirley said immediately, with an extra emphatic tone, "It's their business to worship the deep sea, and Ah Dog and I met for other reasons!" โ
Duncan's gaze fell on the chain between the girl and the ghostly hound.
According to the information just obtained, worshipping the deep sea, being able to summon demons from the deep sea, and using the power of demons to fight with "spells" under normal circumstances, seems to be the characteristics of the "Annihilation Sect", and the sun priest also made this judgment because of the dark hound summoned by Shirley - although he suffered a heavy blow from the Flying Dog Meteor Hammer because of his misjudgment, Duncan believes that at least under "normal circumstances", this information should be fine.
The problem is nothing more than this eccentric girl in front of her.
She seems to be very resistant to being associated with cultists, even though she owns a hound from the deep sea.
"It's okay, it's okay," Duncan shook his head and asked again, "Then why are you here, and what are you going to investigate?" โ
Shirley pursed her lips, she didn't seem to want to answer the question, but the nervous signals released by the hound next to her made her understand that the middle-aged man in front of her who looked ordinary was probably extremely dangerous, and it was best for her to cooperate with the other party.
"I ......"
Shirley opened her mouth, but just as she spoke, a bang suddenly exploded in the basement, and a blazing fireball suddenly flew from the side!
