"It scared the hell out of me...... Luckily, I'm inherently bound to these guys, otherwise it would have been a big deal. ”

Lin patted her chest with trepidation.

The scene just now, now that I think about it, I still feel a little weak - God knows what these guys did in here before, the number of souls that roared out, Lin looked at it at first glance, it was almost like a large fireworks set off during the Spring Festival, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "exploding", right?

"There is so much weight in the result?"

Lin looked at a gray bead in his hand with an unkind face, this was the aggregation of souls that Lin had summoned with her own ability, and these weights had already made Lin a little unsure of what to say.

How did these souls come about? They couldn't have been artificially created out of thin air...... Where exactly they came from, Lin didn't know, but what was certain was that these souls all had the taste of human beings.

Lin flipped the bead in her hand and felt its weight—there must have been thousands of souls.

"You're lucky to meet me...... Really, don't be so unfortunate in the next life. ”

Lin doesn't even need to help them purify it, I don't know how Lu Dao has been treated, these souls no longer have the nostalgia of the deceased and the resentment of misfortune, so to speak, they have almost been washed clean, just like a formatted hard drive. If there's anything left, it's probably the fear of this place? After the barrier is broken, they flee outside in a panic.

As for what kind of treatment they endured, and what happened to them before they became revenants. Lin wasn't in the mood to know the Tao either. Because after Zhilu said this, Lin's mood might be even worse, and even if Zhilu said this, she couldn't make the condition of these souls better.

"See you again. ”

Lynn strained her fingers and shattered the bead in her hand—no soul escaped from it, and when Lynn shattered it, the soul in it. has been extradited to Hades by her, and the beads in her hands are just an ordinary one. Gray and ugly beads.

"It's a waste of time, and it's made a lot of noise, so it might be more troublesome, right?"

[No, maybe that's not the case at all - Lynn.] I searched the surrounding area. No movement was found...... We broke the barrier just now, and those souls were so happy that they didn't even make any other moves, I think the people here either evacuated or ......]

“...... Is it dead?" Lynn smiled helplessly, and sprinkled the crushed powder in her hand onto the ground, "Then let's look for it." Let's see if we can find the stronghold, and the bodies of the people in it. ”

It's not good. Even if it is Xia's hand, it may not be said, with Xia's character, she will not do anything to ordinary people, but the people in this stronghold are not within the scope of the people she will not kill.

......

The search for the stronghold went very smoothly, because of Xia, Lin and Mochi only had to follow the direction from which the smell of blood came from. Using this method, Lynn found the stronghold without any pressure. And the bodies of the dead...... Originally, she still wanted to see if she could find some clues from the corpses, but the "corpses" she saw - well, many of them were not even "corpses" at all, maybe they could be brought to the ogre tribe with a little processing and still be used as commodities?

The heads of the corpses were intact, but from the neck down, only a skeleton remained, and the internal organs and muscles in them were completely removed and displayed in front of the corpses—it can be seen that these poor babies watched their internal organs being taken out one by one, and their muscles were also stripped off a little bit, and they died with pain and fear, right?

What an indescribable evil taste......

Someone who would do this kind of thing must not be a messenger of justice like a passing Kamen Rider, such a heavy evil act, I guess the person who did it was Natsu, right?

Even Lynn felt a pang of discomfort in her stomach when she saw such a strange way of dying, but fortunately, she finally calmed down the discomfort in her stomach and sighed faintly.

"The whole process lasted about two days, during which time these unlucky ghosts were cast with a spell that would prolong their lives, so they could survive until they were at their worst...... What a terrible way to die. Speaking of which, since this process lasted for more than two days, it was impossible for Mr. Xia to kill people with that child, right?" Thinking of the child with the same face as himself, after seeing the cruel execution process of Xia with his own eyes, he could still be coquettish to himself with a sweet face, I don't know what Lu Dao is about, Lin always feels a little terrifying, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems to be normal......

[Because you're a guy who just frowns when you look at these things!]

Mochi endured the discomfort in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that she was a half-spirit, she would have vomited it by now, right?

"Uh...... Well, it seems like that's really the case?"

Is it true that there is a mother and a daughter?

"It would be better to clean up the blood stains on the scene, right?" Although Xia was very "kind" to help those people collect all the blood that flowed out and put it in a container in front of them, there was still some blood spilled out more or less......

[That's not the case at all!Alright, stop dwelling on the cause of their deaths and stuff...... If you can, Lynn, can you take your eyes off them?]

Mochi had long been so panicked that she hid in Lynn's body, but because she and Lin shared vision, she could still see when Lin looked at those corpses - at the end of the day, she often boasted that her life experience was richer than Lin's mochi, and she almost appealed to Lin with a crying accent.

Since the mochi were like this, Lin had no choice but to stop looking for other clues.

"Well, these coats...... Is it those people?" Lynn saw a few pieces of clothing neatly laid out on the side, and just turned her head to check the number of corpses. The screams of mochi came to my head again.

"Mochi, you're really cowardly. ”

[It's not a matter of being cowardly, is it? Looking at these Lins who don't change their faces, you're a monster! Shouldn't we be majoring in basic electricity? I remember that I didn't apply for clinical medicine......]

The mochi's screams were extremely beautiful (?), and Lin also knew that this guy might have been really scared, and he didn't tease her anymore. He turned his head sharply and continued to probe the clothes.

"These guys, or the high-level of this stronghold?"

Lin looked through the clothes, and there were their identities on them, judging from these indications, these people should be the leaders in this stronghold, right?

However, what was the identity of the former was of no use to them now.

Compared with. The other bodies that fell to the ground were much more "elegant" - Lynn looked around for the other bodies, the few women's corpses, whose cause of death was cardiac arrest. The cause of death of the remaining males. Almost without exception, the lungs were punctured due to the sudden inward bending of two ribs. Although this way of dying may not be as comfortable as that of women who die suddenly, it is at least better than a few over there......

"Xia's ability to kill people is really simple, fast and direct. ”

[I think Xia, who has such an ability and will not hesitate and hesitate to kill. Ordinary people definitely can't get along. It's a miracle that you guys were able to get along with her in the first place. 】

Mochi was not surprised by Xia's behavior, after all, she had a good relationship with Xia in the past, but it was definitely not as smooth as Lin...... Actually, though, it doesn't make that difference.

"Because she's very principled...... And. You don't feel like a murderous and unblinking devil, once he suddenly shows his warmth for the kitten. Does such a setting give people the illusion that this person is more gentle than ordinary people?"

[You also know that this is a delusion!Also, you are comparing yourself to a kitten......]

"If you want to say that, I think my character image should also contain the attributes of a cat girl, right?

[Lynn, you're enough......]

Although the mochi has no nose, no hands, and no nosebleeds, he is still stunned by Lynn's malicious cuteness. If it weren't for knowing what the sweet and greasy voice of Lori was inside, Mochi felt that Lori Control like himself (well, this is not denied) would definitely be desperate to become Rin's die-hard personal guard, right?

"Well, put that aside, and I'll go in and see if there are any other clues...... As for these people, let's see the mood for a while. ”

If you're lucky, Lin might be able to give them a decent cremation, but if you're unlucky, just wait for the corpses to be exposed.

Lin carefully avoided the mottled blood stains on the ground, and followed the passage to the interior of the stronghold, naturally, along the way, there were also corpses with the same way of death...... Many of them were wearing weapons, and it was obvious that they were combatants, and the swords at their waists did not even come out of their scabbards, and they were killed unsuspectingly. I have to say that if Xia goes berserk, it may be more terrifying than any forbidden spell that destroys the city, right? Although Xia will not let the map be redrawn, her ability is a great threat to living creatures......

"Hmm! the architectural style of this atmosphere ......"

Lin watched as the process progressed, the surrounding environment changed a little too much—should it be said that it was a stronghold of the dark organization? In the underground, which was a little higher than the ground, a considerable chunk had been hollowed out, replacing earth and stone, and it was a strange building structure with an unknown cult style.

Lynn resentment here...... It's heavy, and it's fresh. 】

"It's fresh, isn't it? , I knew that Lu Dao had just slowed down to find the guys here from those souls first...... It's good that I actually sent them to the underworld for nothing?"

[Let's not talk about others, a few people are miserable enough before they die. When people die, the lights go out, don't worry about it. 】

"I also know the way, but it's still a little uncomfortable - Xia did it too thoroughly. There's nothing to do with me. "Xia's means are classified according to the cliff is a guy who has to be divided into hunts, and he was tossed by Xia for two or three days before he was breathing...... Alas, hell is nothing more than that, right? Maybe they committed something in their lives, but since they are all dead, there is no need for Lynn to settle accounts with the dead.

But...... The resentment here is so heavy, what are they doing here? Did Xia also mix a foot in it?

Lin was also a little worried about this, even though she and Xia were good friends. But if Natsu is really here...... Forget it, let's wait until we find conclusive evidence. Besides, with the habit of Xia. It doesn't seem that she would do such a very hurtful thing - she has always felt that it is very important to accumulate character, so she has set rules for herself to restrain herself. For example, using the soul of the dead to do evil research and experiments, this kind of thing that will hurt the peace of the heavens just by listening to it, Xia should not do it.

"This is...... Altar?"

I came to the middle of the underground building. Lynn saw the one in the center. It was an altar that still glowed red. In this dim underground, there is an ominous red glow, which is particularly eerie and infiltrating.

Lin looked down at her feet, and the ground she was stepping on was indeed carved with complex textures, and if you looked closely, you could see that it spread out from the center of the altar to all sides. The texture under your feet constitutes a grand magic array, and the structure of this magic array. Let Lin have a bad premonition.

“......”

Lin walked to the altar, bit her finger, and squeezed out a drop of blood that dripped on the lines under her feet, and the moment the blood touched the stone floor, it was like a water-absorbing foam, and it was immediately absorbed without a trace.

Squeak and squeak~

The ground under his feet suddenly began to move, and if the altar was taken as the center, he could see that the surrounding area had been divided into three rings, inside and outside, and as the blood dripping from Lin was absorbed, these three rings began to rotate, and the friction between the stones not only made an unpleasant noise, but also stirred up a lot of smoke and dust.

And where the blood dripped down, the scarlet spread along the lines, but on the way from the inner ring to the middle ring, there were several faults - looking at the trajectory of the ring's rotation, it seems that it needs to wait until it turns into the right place to allow the texture pattern to continue?

What happens if you let it continue? Lynn didn't explore the fishing net, and raised her staff to the ground with a shot.

The place where the inner ring and the middle ring meet, Lin directly blasted out a big hole, and the rotation of the third ring also came to an abrupt end, and the scarlet on the texture seems to have no hope of spreading to the middle ring and the outer ring.

"I guess I understand what's going on...... It's not enough. ”

Lin said, towards the junction between the rings, sending (9) rounds one after another, until the explosion of this magic circle was unrecognizable, and there was basically no possibility of repair, then he stopped.

It should be safe now.

[Lynn, why don't you just take this altar?]

"You can't blow this thing up, and if it does, it's likely to alarm some terrible guy - I don't have a shake fetish for getting beaten, and I don't want to run away with my tail between my legs if I can. ”

Lin had already realized just now that the huge magic circle under his feet was actually not a light pole commander, and in the process of activating this magic array, Lin could clearly feel that if it continued to run, it would only play a role as a part of a larger "magic array". In this kind of networked situation, once the altar as the center is blown up, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be discovered by a certain boss thousands of miles away...... Since Xia didn't choose to destroy the altar, Lin couldn't do it.

If this really provokes the boss who was too lazy to go out, Lin Ke will want to cry without tears - not to mention finding Xia and asking her to help solve the dilemma on her side, at that time Lin can only run away and cry and go home to ask Aisha to find a place...... It's embarrassing to think about!

If it were before, Lin might have a hot head and it really didn't matter, but now there are two pairs of eyes at home, if this is Qika knows about his experience, he will have to be complained about for the rest of his life.

"Just blow up this circle 'slightly'......"

[This is actually not a "little" degree at all, is it? Everything else is fine, but in the overall operation, the most critical part has been tinkered with by you!]

Honestly, it's more efficient to build another one than to spend the effort repairing it.

"Let's go, let's find out if there are any detailed records, and try to evacuate directly before someone arrives here." If I'm not mistaken, I really owe it to Xia Xia this time. ”

When she saw that her blood was able to activate this magic circle, Lin already understood what the general situation was. Since one's own blood can, theoretically, as a copy of one's own, it's all right, isn't it?

Although Lin still doesn't know how this magic array will be fully activated, and what kind of effect it will form after echoing with other locations, one thing is for sure - now that she has been cultivated by Aisha, the magic power in her blood is not to be underestimated, so that a drop of blood can make this magic circle activate slowly, and to make it fully functional, at least a lot of blood will be needed. However, if it is the young, untrained child......

It has to be a living sacrifice, right?

Lin doesn't know whether Xia is present in the birth of her cheap daughter, but it is certain that the biggest reason for Xia to go away after the most is definitely this magic circle - let's not talk about Xia's feelings for that child, Lin knows that the reason why Xia is Xia is inseparable from her childhood experience.

The biggest mine in Xia's heart, probably, is a living sacrifice, right? (To be continued......)
