Chapter 113: The Authority of the Moon
The red-nosed man rushed to the safe in a few steps, and took out a radio receiver and a codebook from the dark compartment.
He crouched there, quickly translated the news of Charlie Lake's accident into a telegram, and began to send it out crackling.
In the house where Lake's bookstore was located, a brown-skinned maid rolled up her sleeves and poured a bottle of indigo liquid onto her left arm.
The skin there suddenly changed color, but under the indigo, there were wisps of black light highlighted, like a wandering nematode.
These black rays soon converged into a strange face half the size of a palm, with eyes as small as rice grains and a mouth as large as a saucer.
"Charlie Lake had an accident. The maid spoke to the face on her arm.
Every word she uttered seemed to take on a shape of its own, protruding as an indigo-blue entity between her mouth and arms.
Immediately afterward, one after another words seemed to be written, tangled together, wrapped in smoke of the same color.
At this moment, the strange face on the maid's arm, the mouth opened a little bit, and inhaled the indigo smoke and words into her mouth.
All anomalies vanished, leaving only the skin on the maid's arm.
And in the darkness outside the window, a small ordinary bat flapped its wings, changed its static state, and flew somewhere.
............
On another street, less than 500 meters away from Lake's bookstore, a restaurant specializing in Southern Continent specialties is half empty.
Tiny bats flew out of the darkness and gathered together, sending up a thick cloud of smoke.
The smoke and bats seemed to be illusory, and vanished in an instant, leaving only the figure of a man in a tuxedo without a corresponding hat.
This man was tall and thin, extremely straight, with light hair, close to silver, and bright red eyes, like hidden blood, it was none other than Mistral, the Earl of the Blood Clan.
He raised his left hand with a dark blue gemstone ring, touched the slightly exaggerated fancy fancy bow tie, and looked at the restaurant below that had long since closed:
"Both pieces of information ended up here. ”
As soon as Mistral finished speaking, a figure appeared across from him, wearing a dark court dress, a small soft hat of the same color, pale gold hair, blue eyes, and a pale face, like the most delicate doll.
The trees in the street below shook slightly, and the glow of the gas lamps flickered at the same time.
"A 'puppet'. Count Mistral nodded slightly, acknowledging Sharon's identity and status.
Sharon didn't look at him, looking at the second floor of the restaurant:
"There is a feeling of worshipping the 'Mother Tree of Desire' remaining. ”
"Then there's no problem. Mistral turned in mid-air and nodded to the darkest area, "Lord Nibais, please cordon off here. ”
An old and heavy sigh sounded, and a pair of wings covered with dark skin and covered with countless floral symbols suddenly stretched out of the darkness, growing larger and wider, completely enveloping the surroundings in two or three seconds.
The restaurant was plunged into abnormal darkness, as if it had been removed from the real world.
Mistral didn't hesitate any longer, and didn't attack directly, he took out a bronze box encrusted with multiple rubies, and took out something from it.
It was an eyeball-shaped, transparent glass ball.
Then, Mistral's expression twisted slightly in pain, causing the orb to break away from his finger and fall downward.
The orb emitted a little light of its own in the darkness, and seemed to be constantly adjusting its direction in mid-air as if it were being attracted by something.
Eventually, it ended up in a room on the second floor of the restaurant.
A blazing white light erupted, and it was as if a "sun" had risen in that room, illuminating everything and melting away all the filth, depravity, evil, immortality, and darkness.
"Huh......" Mistral, who had closed his eyes earlier, suddenly frowned and made a puzzled sound.
He didn't sense any rebellion in that restaurant!
Although Sharon's expression had not changed from looking down to looking flat, her tightly bound pale blonde hair seemed to shake less noticeably.
After the "sun" rose, it quickly "set", and the blazing white light fell silent helplessly in the darkness.
Since this was something aimed at evil spirits, the house where the restaurant was located had not been damaged in itself, and Count Mistral of the Blood Clan opened his eyes, looked at it for two seconds, and then reached out his right hand and grabbed it violently.
The darkness above the restaurant came to life in an instant, turning into illusory shackles that bound the entire roof.
With a tooth-aching creak, the roof was shackled and lifted into the air.
Without this obstacle, both Mistral and Sharon could see the situation in the target room clearly:
A radio receiver sits on a square table covered with a cloth, next to a translated message, and on the opposite side of the ground is scorched black with indigo;
On the other side of the room, there was an old piano with a brown bench that seemed to have just been moved;
On the piano, there is a glass of red wine, soaked in a flesh-colored, sticky quirky little man;
The rest of the furnishings and arrangements are just like normal people's homes, except for the addition of herbal powder and spilled essential oil hydrosol.
This made a vague thought come to Sharon's mind, who could receive revelations directly from the spirit world:
The people here just left!
Before she, the Count of Mistral and the Marquis of Nibes could do anything, the red wine soaked in the fleshy villain gave off a clear glow.
The light instantly expanded and became bright, forming a seemingly huge "red moon" in the room.
The glow of the Red Moon dispelled the darkness of the area, giving the demigods who participated in the battle the feeling that they were on the ground, looking up at the sky.
Sharon's blue eyes seemed to freeze for a moment, and her left hand suddenly lifted up, turning it lightly, revealing a dark red ornament held in the palm of her hand.
Shaped like a full moon, this ornament is surrounded by crimson gemstones, with moon symbols and mystical symbols in the center.
This is the "Crimson Moon Corara" that Sharon obtained with the help of Sherlock Moriarty, and it constantly radiates a serene glow, making the wielder immune to the effects of the full moon.
However, the "Red Moon" in the restaurant was not just as simple as a full moon, it was closer to the Blood Moon, and even surpassed, and the indescribable spiritual power was thus breeding, making the area isolated by Nibes's huge wings present a strange and deep feeling of silence, even if Sharon was holding the "Crimson Moon Crown", she could feel the evil thoughts in her heart expanding, and she felt that there seemed to be unimaginable changes brewing in her body.
She instinctively wanted to transform into an evil spirit, hiding in things like street trees and gas lamps, but reason stopped her impulse, because there was no blind spot in the light of the "red moon".
At this time, Mistral, the Earl of the Blood Clan, saw his stomach bulging a little, and felt that the pulse of life was slowly condensing inside, trying to take shape.
As an extraordinary creature that can use the power of the "moon", he has no additional way to eliminate the effect of the blood moon, he originally thought that he would be full of joy in the face of such an environment, and he would play to his heart's content, but he did not expect that the change of things was completely beyond his imagination.
He felt that if he continued to delay like this, he would give birth to a new life, a life of evil horror that did not know where it came from.
The authority of the "moon" itself includes reproduction, reproduction!
At the same time, on the wings of the huge bats that covered the surroundings and created darkness, fine white hairs grew densely, which was extremely terrifying.
Nibes snorted, and cracks appeared in the blockade of the area.
A few blocks away, Emlyn White was boredly rubbing with the "Rose Oath" ring set with a dark blue gemstone, when suddenly he gained the current senses of the Earl of Mistral, saw what he saw, and heard the sound he heard.
And some of the feelings and thoughts belonging to Count Mistral also came into Emlyn's mind after accumulating for a long time, making him sit up straight in fright at the slightest discernment, his expression distorted, his stomach churned, and he felt the urge to vomit.
With the help of "wriggling hunger", Crane's main body is hiding in the shadows outside the restaurant, but the secret puppet he manipulates, Chunas Korg, has already lurked in the darkness created by Nibais, and uses "distortion" to bypass the isolation and maintain the connection of the "spirit thread".
At this time, under the illumination of the illusory "red moon", he was stunned to find that the secret puppets who were essentially dead people seemed to have a tendency to reproduce themselves!
And that new life must be the offspring of the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
This, this is similar to the myth and legend of Silver City, the ancestor of the Bloodline, Lilith, and some of the manifestations of the "primordial moon" mentioned by Emlyn...... Sure enough, the "Mother Tree of Desire" has mastered part of the authority of the "Moon" and infected it with extraordinarily evil, even more evil than the original...... Klein was about to swap places with the secret couple, enter the range of the red moon, and "teleport" away with Miss Sharon, when an indescribable joy suddenly rose in his heart.
It was the joy of leaving the metropolis and going to the suburbs, breathing the refreshing air in the woods after the rain, and witnessing the growth of mushrooms, the joy of all things growing and new life coming in the morning mist.
The white fine hairs on the wings of the huge bats that covered the surroundings all fell off, and Count Mistral's belly, which was already a little bulging, retracted, and Sharon's eyes, which were struggling to support the "Crimson Moon Corara", seemed to be much more relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, the "red moon" in the restaurant quickly dimmed, as if someone had sucked up a large amount of glow.
Finally, the "Red Moon" disappeared and everything was normal.
Is this the Bloodline's Duke Olmer making a move?Crane nodded thoughtfully, continuing to hide in the shadows.
Mistral restrained his angry expression, looked at the restaurant below, and said in a deep voice:
"The target seems to be aware of ...... in advance"
"Not too far in advance. Sharon gave her own answer, combining the situation on the scene and the revelations she received from the spirit world.
Mistral's bright red eyes showed a strange glimmer, and he observed and analyzed it for several seconds before he said:
"It was about the same time we came here that the people left with that glass of wine and that quirky doll.
"This trap doesn't seem to be prepared, it's closer to a makeshift arrangement......"
Speaking of which, Mistral looked at Sharon and said:
"Why are they so aware of danger in such a timely manner?"
Sharon's expression was calm, and she replied in the same tone:
"It's not because of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'. ”
This evil god has not been able to infiltrate too much power into reality, and it is difficult to give early warning.
