Chapter 157: Extraordinary Things
Beatrice, Ankur was dead, but something seemed to come to life in her, slowly overflowing, rising upwards like invisible steam, wanting to rise to some dark place in the distance.
This brings a dimming of the surrounding light, giving the ceiling of the apartment a strange and unreal feel, and Lumien, Franca, and Browns all have a sense of being watched at the same time.
This is not to say that there are really eyes cast on them, but more like there are only three of them in the entire building, and there is no obstruction, so the crimson moonlight in the sky inevitably illuminates them.
Plop, plop, Lumian's heart beat suddenly.
The two witches, who are good at divination, have a strong, intuitive sense of danger.
Smack, Beatrice. A translucent blood bubble appeared on Ankul's face, followed by a brown, tree-like tumor.
The tumor burst out of the bubbles, stained with blood-colored pus, wet and slimy.
This...... Lumien's pupils dilated rapidly, and he didn't anticipate this situation.
The members of the "Bliss Society" he killed were not one or two, and it was not that he had not been by their corpses for such a long time before, but there was nothing abnormal about them, and when they died, they would be completely over, and how could they cause a disturbing, unknown source, and indescribable undercurrent surging around them.
It wasn't clear what was going on, but Lumian quickly had a countermeasure.
He looked up at the vague, illusory ceiling, at the walls where there was a faint movement, and planned to take a step and grab Beatrice's corpse and "teleport" directly to the Albert Mine where he had been.
Remember https://m in a second.
The closer you get to the Quaternary underground of Trier, the more dangerous it becomes, with all kinds of pollutants and runaway factors lurking, even if you add such a corpse that is about to mutate, there will be no major problems to erupt.
It's a collection of problems in itself!
When the time comes, as soon as Lumian drops Beatrice's body, he will use the "Spirit Travel" for the third time to return to the surface and stay away from danger.
In a very short period of time, when he had made up his mind, Franka instinctively took a step towards Beatrice's corpse, which had grown a second denidum.
Her right hand reached into the hidden pocket of her culottes, trying to take out the ancient mirror that she had "picked up" underground.
That ancient mirror connects to a strange and dangerous mirror world, and you can try to stuff the corpse of Beatrice with an unknown mutation into it, so that danger against danger!
This will buy enough time for further processing, and in the end, whether the dead believers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" win, or the strange mirror world swallows up the pollution and "smooths" the alienation, it will no longer be able to affect Franca, the humans present and the surrounding guests.
Compared to them, there is a clear lack of experience in the Browns. Sauron's first instinct was to incinerate the remnants of the corpse's spirituality with black flames, freeze the newly emerging mutation with frost, and interrupt the deterioration of the situation in the most "witch" way.
At this moment, Lumian, Franca, and the others felt that the light around them had dimmed a lot, as if they had lost the light of the red moon in the sky, and only the light of a few gas sconces remained.
Subconsciously, Lumien looked sideways at the window, and found that the glass there was dark and dull, no longer transparent, and had changed from a "channel" to a wall that closed the place.
Almost at the same time, the invisible, slowly evaporating upwards from Beatrice's body, seemed to have lost its way, unable to find its way to the darkness of infinity, and could only linger in place, gradually sinking.
Their mysterious connection with some unknown was thus broken, and both Lumian and Brown suddenly lost the trembling feeling of being "watched" from afar and "illuminated" by the gaze.
Plop, plop, their hearts slowed, and they saw that the nodules on Beatrice's corpse were rapidly drying up, and no new blood bubbles were coming out.
The gloom surrounding the corpse returned, and the sinking intangibles began to cling to the surface of the diamond necklace around Beatrice's neck.
The building at 23 Menil Street was dark under the crimson moonlight from above, all the windows were devoid of light, and no human figures were reflected, and the dead silence was gloomy, like a haunted house.
In a room in the opposite apartment, a white palm is holding a mirror with a strange shape and a simple temperament.
The mirror is surrounded by one sculpture of black snakes intertwined with each other, each with a head of a giant scarlet one-eyed, mouthless and fangless.
At this time, the surface of the mirror is clear, and a brightly lit building is revealed.
On each floor of the building, there are windows that shine through the yellowish glow of gas sconces, and one domestic drama after another is staged:
The old doorman on the first floor smoked the cigarette butts he had saved up, leaning against the wall of the lobby, enjoying the peace of the night; The husband and wife on the second floor sat in the living room, one watching, and the other unfolding the newspaper in front of them; The window on the third floor was ajar, and a half-naked man looked at the door with reverence, ready to climb down, and Lumian, Franca, and Brown, who jumped to the fourth floor of the street, were looking at their surroundings suspiciously, one wanted to use a certain ability to try to see if he could leave the "crime scene", one put his right hand into the hidden pocket, not knowing what to pull out, and the other seemed to guess and opened the distance between him and the other two.......
Another white palm reached out and wiped it on the strange mirror surrounded by the one-eyed "strange snakes".
Suddenly, the brightly lit building disappeared from the surface of the mirror, and the dead and gloomy apartment at 23 Menil Street was lit up one after another, and one figure after another was reflected, and all kinds of sounds were played, which could be heard in the distance.
After looking around, Lumian noticed that Adina's apartment had completely returned to normal, no longer surrounded by dark night, crimson moonlight could not shine through, and the glass windows had turned into dark walls.
Beatrice. Ankur's corpse was completely calm, and the palpitating and terrifying mutation was like a hallucination that only existed in a nightmare.
Lumian, who was ready to grab Franca and "teleport" away, did not "wait" for a possible attack, and slightly relieved his mind and looked sideways at Browns. Sauron at a glance:
It was really impossible for the Witch Sect to send only such an inexperienced member to examine Franca.......
Just now, the powerful witch who secretly observed and dominated the situation made a timely move to help us deal with possible changes?
This kind of performance, unlike the Extraordinaire of the middle sequence, a high-ranking witch, or the Sequence 5 "Witch of Pain" with divine items?
No wonder Browns dared to come in generously, not worried that Franca and I would attack her.....
I don't know if the witch hiding in the dark has seen my "humming technique......
Franka thought of this as well, and withdrew her gaze from the window and swept over Browns. Sauron.
She calmly expressed her guess, but without asking, she looked down at Beatrice's corpse, and said with a little curiosity and a little confusion:
"That necklace seems to have changed a bit?
Lumian noticed this, too, and felt that the transparent diamonds of the necklace reflected the light of the gas sconces on each side, causing her to panic and her mouth to be dry.
Is this an extraordinary weapon similar to "degenerate mercury"? How many times have it not been because there has been no mutation, and the gifts of the giver have not been blocked, and all of them have returned to the mother? Probably having a guess, Lumian walked over to the corpse and crouched down.
He cautiously reached for the necklace, and as soon as he touched the surface, he felt a variety of desires rise, tumbling and difficult to suppress.
Lumian hurriedly withdrew his right hand, and only then did he get rid of that state of blood and blood.
With magical items such as "torture" and the negative effects of multiple contracts, he is no longer suitable for the necklace that can awaken the deepest desires.
"Here you go." Lumien stood up and motioned for Franca to deal with it.
Franka didn't shy away and took off the diamond necklace expectantly.
The two did not stop any longer, saying goodbye to Browns and returning to the market area.
Market Boulevard.
Franka successfully dealt with Beatrice, and is expected to pass the witches' censorship, and has obtained another extraordinary thing that should be compared with the ability of the "Witch of Pleasure", and is in a pretty good mood, so she almost hums a little song to express her good feelings.
She glanced at Lumian, who was silent and just walking:
"What's wrong?
"I'm thinking about Maipu. Where is Meyer hiding......" Lumi settled for a moment, and Masase suggested, "Let's go underground now."
Franka was stunned for a moment, but then understood Lumian's thoughts:
"What do you think of Maipu. Meyer will return to Susanna. Where did Matisse worship the 'Tree of Shadows'?
"Maybe." Lumien wasn't sure, but thought there might be some clues or traces left.
Franca, who thought she had taken advantage of the distribution of the spoils, did not persuade her, and joined Lumian into underground Trier from the entrance of Market Boulevard.
With the help of the fireball's illumination, the two of them followed the fairly familiar path, passing through the collapsed mine cave where Lentas, a member of the "Blessed Society", and the place where Jane Na was stunned, all the way to the altar area that they did not dare to approach last time.
There were burn marks everywhere, no living creatures, no foul breath, like being exposed to the fierce sun for many days, leaving only piles of dry white bones from different creatures.
The cavity and cracks in the middle of the cavern had been filled with earth and stones, and Lumian looked closely for a while, and noticed some fresh traces around the original altar.
They clearly do not belong to the same person and come from different "visitors".
Looking at these traces, looking at the collapse that had been filled deep into the ground, Lumian's mind suddenly appeared in his mind the "Shadow Tree", "Samaritan Woman's Spring", "Predator-Blooded Cross" plot, and all kinds of things that were happening around him.
They seem to come from different sources and are scattered, but they have one thing in common:
They all point directly or indirectly to the underground, to those histories and dangers hidden beneath Trier!
