Chapter 13: 177A Black Street
Wanda and White Night walked silently along the street, her mind haunted by Ashe's affairs. She still had doubts about the authenticity of the Book of the Dead. Gradually, she couldn't help but tentatively ask Bai Ye.
"That's... About the Book of Death, wasn't it made up by Ash? Wanda asked cautiously.
"I only said that Ash was talking nonsense, but I didn't say that he was lying."
Bai Ye said with a smile, and then added: "There is probably a book of death in this world, but it should be different from what Ash and you imagined. ”
She nodded thoughtfully, understanding Bai Ye's answer.
"By the way, I forgot to ask your name." Suddenly, Wanda suddenly remembered this important question and asked with a smile.
"My name is White Night, and Pietro hasn't spoken since the beginning, did you do it?"
As he spoke, Bai Ye's eyes drifted to the guy floating behind the two of them, and rubbed his shoulder, from the beginning he handed over Quicksilver to the Scarlet Witch, and it was much easier to lift a person with her mental power than to resist it with his shoulder.
Wanda nodded, "Pietro has lost blood and needs to rest, and he can't help much for the time being, so it's good to let him sleep for a while." ”
As if to confirm Wanda's words and prove that she was still alive, a tractor-like snoring suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
"Speaking of which, I haven't officially thanked you, thank you for saving Petero's life, he has always been reckless, if he was left alone in this apocalypse, he might have fallen into the mouth of zombies."
Wanda said, bowing her head slightly, and bowing to Bai Ye, expressing her deep gratitude in her heart.
Well, to be precise, it should actually be someone else who fell into his mouth, Bai Ye secretly slandered himself, then shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, I am saving myself when I save him." ”
"You're really too modest." Wanda stared at the white night and bowed slightly.
When she was a child, she and Pietro depended on each other, and the person who saved her brother cannot be thanked.
Bai Ye waved his hand lightly again, and was about to say something, but looked up and said, "Oh, here we are." ”
The Victorian-style double-opening doors at 177A Black Street offer a solemn and old-fashioned atmosphere. The carvings on the door frame are delicate and exquisite, as if telling the story of history. The gold doorknob is decorated with an ornate pattern, revealing elegance and sophistication.
However, when White Night and Wanda approached the gate, their eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the blood stains on the white steps of the door. Blood spilled from the doorknob and flowed down, staining the entire staircase red, like an evil mark.
The bloodstains on the pure white steps create a striking contrast, strong and terrifying. The traces of their dripping on the steps resemble bright red rose petals, giving off an unsettling aura.
Bai Ye and Wanda's expressions changed slightly, there were people, or corpses, who could attack Doctor Strange's Holy of Holy, and it stands to reason that there should be a magic circle to protect it.
The two silently exchanged glances, conveying a tacit alertness to each other.
Whether it was a human or a zombie who invaded the Holy of Holies of Holy, he should know a certain level of magic.
"Do you know how to protect the spells? Seraph's shield or something? Hakuya touched his chin and tried to remember what he had seen in the manga before asking.
Wanda smiled and replied, "Of course." Then she made a finger seal and activated the magic with a few phrases.
A pale yellow glow flashed through the two of them, and this was the Seraphim's Shield, the Seraph Shield, and each mage had to imagine a sense of security when casting this spell.
Maybe it's a warm house, maybe it's a self-defense weapon, it's different for everyone, but as long as it can be associated with a sense of security.
Thinking back to the information in his memory, and feeling the warm sense of security on his body, Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at the calm white night in front of her, Wanda felt a little surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that Bai Ye actually knew a lot of magic knowledge, which made her feel a little surprised.
"Let's go inside, there's something going on inside?"
With a slight press on the shield, White Night stepped forward and pushed open the bloodstained door, and almost at the same moment, the sound of the gate rushing into his ears.
"Please, don't resist any longer, king! I really don't want to hurt you, but really...... So hungry! ”
"Every bite of meat I eat gets hungrier, and the hungrier I get, the more I want to eat!"
The Druid Master, who had been infected as a zombie, screamed wildly, and with a slap of his hands, several fireballs the size of tires flew forward.
His voice was filled with despair and pain. His once-majestic blue cloak was now stained with blood, no longer showing the splendor and sacredness of its former glory.
And the blood stains form bright red patches on the cloak, which contrasts strongly with the color of the cloak itself.
And his Mediterranean hairstyle, which had few hairs, was even more messy at the moment, scattered disheveledly on his forehead and cheeks, looking lifeless. Blood seeped down his hair, forming a bloody red stream.
Looking to the side again, I saw that the bald man who was even more bald, and the bald man who could simply be called a bald scoop was quickly swiping with his only remaining hand, forming a complex gesture, and a mysterious energy surged in the air.
These energies swirled around the king, forming a defensive barrier full of runes, emitting a blue glow. Those fireballs instantly slammed into the defensive barrier, sending out huge explosions and raging flames.
In an instant, the runes on the barrier fell to the ground, and the entire barrier crumbled with it.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from the bald forehead, the green tendons between the foreheads were prominent, and the physical strength and willpower were rapidly depleting. But even so, he held on to his defenses, fending off the Druid's attacks with all his might.
He closed his eyes and silently prayed in his heart, "Dr. Strange, I know you can hear me. Please come as soon as possible, we need your help. I can't hold out much longer, the sanctuary needs your guidance. ”
The King now only hoped that Dr. Strange would feel his call and appear in front of him as soon as possible, and only Strange's magic and wisdom could turn the desperate situation around him.
Otherwise, he will be reduced to the womb of this former friend.
Continuing to hold on, the king maintained the defensive formation with the last of his strength, while silently praying in his heart, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements. He knew that if Strange came, they would be able to turn the tide of the battle and turn the crisis into a disaster.
Another flame condensed in the hands of the Druid Master, and this fire was even bigger and more fierce than before, and if it were fired again, the king's barrier, which was already on the verge of collapse, would be absolutely impossible to resist.
At this critical moment, only a loud cry could be heard throughout the sanctuary: "Stop, Master Druid!" I've found an antidote to zombies, and you can be relieved of that hunger! ”
The sound of the white night broke the tension on the battlefield, and everyone turned their heads to look at him. Even Wanda looked at Bai Ye dumbfounded, not expecting that he would be able to provide an antidote.
The Druid Master heard the cry of the White Night, revealing a pained and confused expression. He barely stopped his frantic attack and stared at the white night, a glimmer of hope seemed to flash in his blood-red eyes.
White Night briefly exchanged a brief glance with him, then pulled out a vial of potion. The potion emitted a faint blue glow, and it seemed as if there was a redemptive power flowing through it.
He carefully placed the potion on the ground and took a half step back, his tone filled with deep sympathy: "This is the antidote, Master Druid. It will help you escape the curse of zombies and regain your sanity and humanity. ”
