Chapter 115: Weeping Angel
It's two days in a flash.
As Karn's assassination intensified, the hunters in the Thunder Fortress camp became increasingly dissatisfied.
Now the hunters can't go back, and the hunters who have come back from the ruins are piled up in the camp, and there are more and more people.
It's not just the hunters who are trapped, but some special guys as well.
In the small building of the Caiyun Chamber of Commerce in the camp.
A mysterious woman with a black veil on her face was standing in front of the window, watching the crowd of people in front of her, her silver pupils shining like the moon.
And behind her, there was a lifeless hunchbacked old man.
Looking at the people of the Lionheart family who were still searching everywhere in the distance, the silver-eyed woman muttered to herself: "It's a pity, it's rare to have such a high-ranking nobleman from Guiltless City." Originally, I wanted to use that Young Master Karn to get close to the top of the Lionheart Family, but I didn't expect that just after I got my identity in disguise, I was actually killed."
Hearing this, the hunchbacked old man's hoarse voice responded: "Recently, there are more and more nobles coming down from the city of innocence, and there may not be no opportunities in the future. β
After a pause, he added, "It's those guys in Bureau X who are haunted. They had already investigated the Chamber of Commerce yesterday and may have found some problems. If we don't solve it, we will continue to get into trouble. β
Silver-eyed woman: "Then let's kill them together." It just so happened that the last sealing relic had been found, and the prohibition on the four-pillar seal had been basically lifted, and it didn't matter if it was exposed now. The weeping angel still needs some soul nourishment, so let's sacrifice these people in the camp. Now let's do it, it just so happens that the people of the 'Thirteen Kamen Riders' can also help us attract the attention of the top echelons of the Federation. β
Hunchbacked old man: "Hmm. β
On the streets of the camp, Ji Xun walked unhurriedly.
In addition to practicing and studying in the tent every day, he would also go out for a walk in the evening when the tavern was most crowded to inquire about the news.
The tavern is still the most crowded and lively place in the camp.
Ji Xun squeezed into the Hunter's Tavern as he had done two days ago.
Then I sat down in the corner of the bar and ordered a beer.
In the past two days, no new supply has arrived, and the price of beer has risen tenfold.
This is no longer a luxury that ordinary hunters can afford.
Ji Xun sat on the bar, drinking wine and listening to the news as usual.
Most of the most talked about by the hunters was the old news about Karn's assassination the day before yesterday, and there were all kinds of gossip that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Ji Xun listened to it for a long time, and the only thing he felt reliable was that it was said that people from the federal military would arrive tomorrow.
I heard that an important figure from the Lionheart family will also be coming.
Hunters are also mostly pessimistic and resistant to the news.
After all, these high-ranking nobles are not friendly to the people at the bottom.
The previous Karn had killed hundreds of people for no reason in order to find an Assassin.
No one knows what will happen when someone from the Lionheart family comes.
But there is nothing to be done.
For the vast majority of hunters, their current situation is like that of shipwrecked people stranded on an isolated island. Blindly rushing into the unexplored Old World is like setting up a raft to go out into the sea, and the risk is much greater than staying in the camp.
There is also some information on land reclamation.
A group of hunters has discovered several new extradimensional spaces in the depths of the ruins that no one has yet come out alive.
There is speculation that it could be a new war mode space.
The news is numerous and mixed.
Ji Xun drank it without a sip.
I sat for almost an hour.
Listen, after not hearing more valuable information, he wanted to leave.
But at this moment, three people suddenly walked in at the door of the tavern.
The leader was a stout middle-aged man in a leather jacket, followed by two young men, a man and a woman.
All three of them covered their faces with square scarves, and the two behind them covered their bodies with deerskin cloaks.
Ji Xun looked at these three people and always felt inexplicably familiar.
Although these three people are also dressed as hunters, their temperament does not look like low-level hunters.
The trio also walked towards the bar.
The man in the jacket beckoned to the bartender and said, "Three beers." β
As soon as he spoke, Ji Xun heard the rough voice immediately, and he was surprised in his heart: "Those three guys in Bureau X? β
At this moment, he finally knew where that familiar feeling came from.
Isn't this the same three people who chased after the "epidemic doctor" Hesse when Innocence City exterminated the Silver Moon Sect's stronghold before?
Does he remember that the leather jacket was called "Xie Guozhong"?
The impression is not bad.
After all, I was able to get the scalpel smoothly that time, thanks to this guy keeping his promise.
But how did they come to the ruins of Thunder Fortress?
Such an organized official investigator does not have to venture out to hunt for a living.
In an instant, Ji Xun thought of something else, and said in his heart: "It can't be someone from the Silver Moon Sect who is chasing it, right?" β
Then the thought turned, and the possibility was really not small.
Last time, it was.
This time, too.
And there is another point, Ji Xun also guessed that those people from the Silver Moon Sect might really come to this ruin.
In the previous "Outpost War" extradimensional space, the demon camp believed that the god was the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasures" Arachne.
This is the old god that the Silvermoon Cult believes in!
Altars, statues or something, Ji Xun has personally seen them, and the old inheritance in that space is much more complete than the half-hung Silver Moon Sect at the moment.
If the people of the Silver Moon Sect knew about this, it was really very likely that they would come to find those ancient inheritances.
And maybe it's not just that one space.
Ji Xun thought of this, and his expression was slightly strange: "Hey, it can't be that someone from the Silver Moon Sect came to find the inheritance of the old gods, and then these three people from Bureau X chased after him, right?" β
I seem to be a bit of a problem with this old sect.
You can find it everywhere.
However, he didn't have to think about it.
As soon as Xie Guozhong sat down, the drinker next to him sneaked away and wanted to slip away.
The mushroom head and the short-haired woman in the back stood there and cleverly stopped the guy.
Xie Guozhong chuckled lightly and said lightly: "Old man Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
The sneaky guy shook his head again and again, trying to slip away, "No, no, no." You have recognized the wrong person. β
Hearing this, Xie Guozhong muttered to himself: "You guy forgot about me again."
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "Don't worry." We are not members of the Lionhearts. We are Bureau X and would like to ask you a few questions. β
At this time, the man dared to raise his head and look at the three of them: "Huh? β
Although the conversation over there was not loud, Ji Xun still heard it clearly.
"What a coincidence"
Ji Xun stuck the guy who was stopped, and it turned out to be an acquaintance.
It was the "Dog King" Xu Old Man who went to the team in the alien space before.
The world is so small.
Oh, no.
The camp was already small.
There are only two taverns, and this guy is an old drunkard, so the probability of encountering it is quite high.
Ji Xun had noticed this guy before.
Drinking and shrinking his head and tail, he complained that the wine was too expensive, and when he took a sip, he looked like his flesh hurting, which was slightly funny.
But there are many people who think that the hunter is strange, and Ji Xun doesn't care much.
I didn't think it was an acquaintance.
"I survived."
Ji Xun recognized Old Man Xu and felt emotional.
The Dog King really deserves to be the Dog King, and it is a real skill to survive.
But after thinking about it, if it weren't for the "crotch dodge method" that the old man said, Ji Xun would really not be able to avoid those ghosts and monsters in the space.
It's a bit of a sentiment.
And I drank the wine for so long just now, and I didn't recognize myself.
There's something wrong with this old man's disguise.
Ji Xun thought of something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
However, the rest of the conversation is not heard.
"Sound insulation?"
Ji Xun also frowned slightly.
The more mysterious these guys became, the more he felt that something might happen.
He glanced curiously at it with his spare eyes.
For Ji Xun, who has never forgotten, lip reading is not a too difficult skill.
Even if you can't hear it, lip reading can make you understand what they're talking about bit by bit.
"Old man, I know you're well-informed, and we want to inquire about something."
"Ah, I don't know anything, are you looking for the wrong person?"
"I know that Your Excellency is proficient in some secret arts, have you noticed anything unusual in that Caiyun Shop?"
"Ouch, what kind of secret tricks are I blowing indiscriminately after drinking too much. You three big guys won't really believe it, will you?"
"It's not in vain. Give money. β
"Big brother, just say what you want to know."
β.β
Xie Guozhong seemed to know Old Man Xu.
But Old Man Xu didn't seem to know him anymore.
Ji Xun Ji Xun felt strange.
But none of this is something to focus on right now.
As he read the information, the bad feeling in his heart grew stronger.
Since the people in Bureau X have all found here, there must be some pointing clues.
Now in this posture, is there really a Silver Moon Cultist in the camp?
Seriously, even if he knew that the people from the Lionheart family were coming, Ji Xun didn't feel much of a sense of crisis.
After all, there is a lot of information, and a lot of things can be expected.
But the old believers are different.
These people only gave him the feeling of two words - evil door!
I wanted to take a few more glances and hear what else they were talking about.
didn't think that Xie Guozhong seemed to be aware of it, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and there was a movement to raise his eyes.
Ji Xun observed these details, quickly retracted his eyes, and said in his heart: "It's such a strong perception." β
Xie Guozhong and the three of them didn't seem to be interested in paying attention to others, and continued to ask something, their expressions becoming more and more serious.
If you look at it, you will be noticed.
Ji Xun didn't plan to stay in the tavern longer.
Encountering these people, Ji Xun suddenly smelled a hint of crisis.
He wanted to leave as soon as possible.
At least, stay away from the three of Xie Guozhong.
However, the change came very suddenly.
Just when Ji Xun got up and was about to leave.
Sudden change.
The butterfly door opened, and a hunchbacked old man carried a one-man tall black cross and slowly walked into the tavern.
The man seemed to have crawled out of a grave, and his body was overflowing with a thick sense of death.
The cross was dragged on the plank, and from time to time there was a grinding sound.
It was the sound that sent hairs down the spine that made the entire tavern feel as if the mute button had been pressed.
The tavern, which had been noisy, suddenly became silent.
Because
The hunchbacked old man came in.
Everyone felt as if they were being watched by death, like falling into an ice cave.
And beside his ears, he could clearly hear the ancient and profound sacrificial words sung from the mouth of the hunchbacked monster.
"Rejoice in the love of pain, rejoice in the blood spilled
Wandering in the shadows of the grave
thirsting for blood, giving fear to mortals
Joy, dreams, a moon of a thousand faces
Gaze gladly upon the sacrifice of your devout disciples
γ
The first time this man entered the tavern, the incantation had just been recited.
It was as if some magical ritual had begun.
Ji Xun heard the spell that seemed to be a demon whispering, and suddenly felt bad.
The clown mask was already on the face in an instant.
Looking at the cross with dark golden blood again, his pupils shrank suddenly: "Not good! β
γRelic: Light and Dark Crossγ
Explanation: Tier III Ancient Relic; Sacred +9, Curse +9;Binding the target, can seal soul fluctuations that are not higher than the law level of the relic itself; This is a torture instrument that imprisoned an indescribable existence of a divine soul in ancient times, and it is a rare sealing artifact in the world that is both good and evil; It is impregnated with the blood of the gods and has strong light and dark pollution characteristics;
The attributes of this cross are from the same source as the [Light and Darkness Holy Nail] in his hand, and even the content of the enlightenment is almost identical.
After glancing at this, Ji Xun was sure that the strange man with the cross in front of him was a believer of the Silver Moon Sect!
Thinking about it this way, and looking at the iconic hunchback again, isn't he the wanted senior deacon Duan old man of the Silver Moon Sect?
Looking at this posture, it is obvious that the comer is not good.
And that hostility is not directed at him, but at Xie Guozhong and the others!
Dare to come in with such a swagger carrying a cross, this guy is obviously motivated to kill.
And there is also the certainty of nirvana!
It's not good to be affected by a battle of this level.
Ji Xun won't be stupid and wait for the other party to make a move.
Almost as soon as he put on the mask, he didn't care what others thought, stepped on the stool, and rushed out the back door.
When he ran, the people in the tavern were stunned for a few breaths, and then they also reacted and scrambled to escape from the tavern.
In the blink of an eye, the tavern that was still full just now was already full of people.
But there are still some people who don't understand the situation, and they still watch the excitement from afar.
Xie Guozhong and the three of them naturally found out a long time ago.
But they had no fear in their eyes and sat there steadily.
Since they were the ones who found them.
Naturally, they won't retreat.
On the contrary, I felt that it was just right, and I saved the trouble of going to those people.
It's just a little puzzled in the light of his eyes.
These guys from the Silver Moon Sect are no longer hiding, and they dare to take the initiative to show their faces in front of them?
The hunchbacked monster didn't pay attention to the others, and there was only an evil and cold smile on that old face.
A black nine-pointed star formation had already appeared under his feet, and the chanting was finished, and finally he shouted softly: "Spiritism, Undead Disaster!" β
In an instant, it was as if the gates of hell had been opened, and the nine-pointed star formation under his feet was bursting out like a burst of dead air.
Seeing this, Xie Guozhong and the three of them not far away changed their expressions suddenly.
Ji Xun jumped out of the back door of the tavern, not looking back at all, wanting to stay away from the battlefield.
His original plan was to go outside the camp first and see the situation from a distance.
However, he still underestimated the ruthlessness of those people in the Silver Moon Sect.
Almost as soon as he jumped out of the tavern, a bright white moon appeared in the sky.
Then the entire camp ground lit up with black magic runes, and an undead enchantment that didn't know how wide it was, instantly covering the entire camp.
Everywhere you look, there is a gray dead air.
Seeing this scene, he immediately knew that he wanted to be simple.
The hunchbacked old man just now was not just targeting Xie Guozhong and the three of them.
It's the whole camp!
Ji Xun hurriedly ran to the gate of the camp and looked at it, and his expression changed.
The wilderness, where you could still see the outline of the mountain, is now pitch black, and you can vaguely see the shadows of some huge monsters.
He had a bad feeling in his heart: "Those guys can't be the ones who want to perform some evil ritual and sacrifice the whole camp, right?" β
His intuition told him that the odds were high.
But now Ji Xun's situation is also in a dilemma, leaving the camp is definitely not a good choice, and it doesn't look good if he doesn't go out.
The rest of the camp didn't understand what was happening, and they were all in the streets looking at the moon vision in the sky.
And at this time, the old man of the dog king Xu ran over with a strange scream: "Second boy, come out quickly, run~ It's over, it's over, it's over."
Hearing the shout, a young man with a thin sword at his waist rushed out of the tent not far away.
didn't wait for Ji Xun to figure out what was going on, and the situation reappeared!
When I looked up, a terrifying spiral black hole suddenly appeared in the sky of the camp.
"You won't summon a bone dragon again, will you?"
Ji Xun's eyelids jumped when he saw it.
He'd seen it before.
In the City of Innocence, when the Silver Moon Sect sent to the auction house to rob the "Moon", it came like this once.
But that time it was in the City of Innocence, and there were many masters.
The Silvermoon Cult was hammered and scurried around like rats crossing the street.
And right now, it's a wilderness camp in the Old World!
Except for Xie Guozhong's three people whose strength was unknown, he didn't think anyone else had the ability to solve this trouble.
However, Ji Xun still underestimated.
These guys aren't trying to summon any bone dragons, but more terrifying beings.
It was the moment the black hole in the sky appeared, and an indescribable aura suddenly descended, threatening the entire camp.
Ji Xun was no stranger to this feeling, and said in his heart: "Higher creatures? β
In the space before, when I met the Red Baron, I was also so coercive.
However, this time the coercion is even more violent!
Looking again, a lifeless figure slowly appeared inside the black hole.
However, when Ji Xun saw the pair of huge wings on the back of the figure clearly, his pupils fluttered, and he muttered to himself: "No."
This time it's not the bone dragon that is being summoned.
It's something much more terrifying.
In the black hole, a statue slowly appeared. Angel!
An angel with a bandage covering his face, gray wings on his back, and a lifeless body, but with a holy light in his dead air!
Ji Xun's eyelids jumped violently: "This kind of existence can also be psychic?" β
These guys from the Silver Moon Sect can just tinker with some netherworld stuff all day long.
Do you need to make this mythical existence come out?
