Chapter 164: Poor Worm
The color of the blood reddened Crane's eyes, his near-frozen gaze.
At this moment, a light coughing sound suddenly came from the room, and old Neil said in a hoarse voice:
"Dunn, what are you doing here?"
Dunn's gray eyes were extremely deep, and he replied in a mellow voice:
"We heard that you were sick, and we came to visit you. ”
The room became silent, and after a few seconds, old Neil cried out in anger and fear:
"No! you're lying!"
Without waiting for Klein and the others to speak, his tone became weak:
"Yes, I know I'm a little out of shape. ”
Old Neil...... Klein snapped his eyes shut, but the blood oozing from the crack in the door didn't stop.
Immediately after, Old Neil raised his voice and said:
"But all along, I haven't hurt anyone, and I haven't thought about hurting anyone in the past! I haven't, I haven't betrayed the important secrets of the night watch, I have at most, at most, I have reimbursed a little expense that should not be reimbursed, I really haven't done anything bad!"
"Klein. He suddenly shouted as usual, "I told you that the maxim of the voyeur is 'do whatever you want, but do no harm,' and I have always adhered to this saying, preferring to endure and wait rather than do anything that hurts others......"
Saying this, he pleaded fearfully:
"Dunn, Luo Yao, Crane, you guys go back, go back, wait for tomorrow, wait for tomorrow, I can get back to normal, I swear, swear to the goddess, I won't hurt anyone, really!"
Dunn closed his eyes and asked in a very soft tone, "What exactly do you want to do, what have you been trying?"
"Me?" said Old Neil, first dazed, then wistfully, "I'm trying to resurrect Sallyster, Dunn, I've found a way, I'm on the right path!"
"You've probably heard that I made a mistake when I was performing ritual magic, I didn't cure her disease, I didn't save her, I know, it's because I didn't have a good grasp of the occult, and now, I have enough knowledge and experience to do it all! As he spoke, old Neil cried a little, "No, I can't give up anymore...... Dunn, go back, go back, I beg you. ”
Klein gritted his teeth and heard the captain's voice fluctuate slightly and asked:
"How are you going to resurrect Sallyster?"
Old Neil suddenly became excited:
"I will use the method of 'life refining' to prepare a body for her that will not age, Dunn, maybe you don't know, the sequence 4 of the Mother Earth God Church is good at 'life refining', and the corresponding sequence of the 'Knowledgeable' path can barely be done, well, I will use the gift of the gods to complete it. ”
"I would then summon her soul from the spirit realm and ask the gods for help in reuniting the spirit with the flesh. ”
"Isn't that a great idea?"
Dunn forcibly upturned the corners of his mouth and said:
"Yes, great idea. Old Neil, let's go inside, maybe we can help you. ”
“...... Dunn, are you still unwilling to let me go?" Old Neil pleaded, "Go back, you go back, I'll be back to normal tomorrow, really, Dunn, I swear, I won't steal your coffee beans again, Crane, Luo Yao, I swear, I won't let you cooperate with me to reimburse expenses that you shouldn't deserve, really!"
In the slightly blurred vision of Klein and Luo Yao, Dunn lowered his head, and immediately raised his head: "Old Neil, you misunderstood, we are here to visit you, you are our companion, you are sick, the state is not right, we will definitely come to visit you, open the door, let's take a look, let us rest assured, as long as you really don't have a big problem, we will go back immediately, you know, there are a lot of tasks recently, we have to monitor the madhouse on the one hand, and on the other hand, we have to deal with all kinds of emergencies." ”
Old Neil hesitated for a moment and said:
"I don't really have any big problems, really, I'll be back tomorrow. ”
Blood-red water seeped from the cracks in the main entrance and flowed down the steps, onto the stone path, into the garden dirt.
"Old Neil, we've known each other for 15 years, right? I don't know how many missions we've worked with, I'm very concerned about you, I'm worried about you, I have to see you with my own eyes to rest assured. Dunn said in a mellow voice.
“...... All right. Old Neil muttered, "I really don't have a problem. ”
With a creak, the front door slowly opened, and Crane quickly raised his hand to wipe his eyes, allowing his gaze to return to normal.
Then he saw the carpet in the foyer covered with a bloody, viscous, hairy liquid.
Looking ahead, he saw that the floor, ceiling, round table, piano, and chairs of the living room were all filled with a disgusting, viscous, blood-colored liquid with dense black short hairs.
Old Neil's pale head hung in the air, connected to the ceiling by thick slime, and a pair of eyes grew from his forehead and cheeks, cold, eyelashless eyes.
The keys of the piano are jumping on their own, playing a beautiful and melodious melody.
"Dunn, you see, I really don't have a big problem. Old Neil smiled brightly and said, "Luo Yao, Crane, you think so too, right!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Crane saw a viscous, blood-colored, short-haired black liquid flowing from it.
Dunn's gray eyes flickered, and he chatted as if usual:
"Old Neil, where did you learn the 'Life Refinement' and 'Resurrection Ritual'?"
Old Neil replied excitedly:
"What I heard, I tried the previous part, and it was true! It was a gift from the Divine Spirit, and He kept speaking in my ear, describing, He is, He is ......"
Old Neil's voice froze, and after more than ten seconds, he said in a dazed and frightened voice:
"He is the Hidden Sage......
Isn't that the impersonal deity that the Morse ascetics believe in?And this deity, who later came alive and brought evil and depravity...... The Morse Ascetic has the complete sequence of "voyeurs...... Klein's heart moved, and he thought of a lot.
At the mention of the "Hidden Sage", old Neil seemed to finally come to his senses, and looked around blankly, taking in everything.
In the indescribable silence, he looked at Dunn with all six eyes at the same time, and said with a wry smile:
"It turns out that I have become a monster ......"
Without waiting for Dunn to answer, old Neil suddenly smiled in a flustered, flattering, fearful, timid smile:
"Let me go, I'll go into the mountains, I won't show up again, I'm not going to hurt anyone, I'm just quietly trying my ritual, really, let me go, please, please. ”
And at this moment, Klein only felt that something illusory was shattered in front of him.
Immediately after, old Neil's four cold, eyelashless eyes flashed with a faint light, firmly locked on Dunn, and his expression became indifferent:
"You're pulling me into a dream!"
"No, it's useless! my eyes can see through it all!"
The blood-colored viscous liquid that filled the ceiling, floor, and walls began to wriggle, like a giant opening its mouth wide and trying to swallow Crane and the others all, while Old Neil's head became blurred, like a superposition of apparitions.
Instead of pulling out the revolver in a panic, Crane reached into his pocket, intending to use the "Sleep Charm".
Suddenly, he saw that everything had calmed down again, and that the bloody, viscous, dense black short-haired liquid was as peaceful as a wind-blown lake.
Old Neil lost his expressions of indifference, coldness, hatred, and longing, and became calm and quiet.
At some point, Dunn had already thrown the seal "3-0611" into the pile of blood-colored viscous liquid.
Old Neil's forehead and the four eyelashless eyes on his cheeks slowly closed, as if lacking the desire to open them.
Any creature that comes into contact with the "Quiet Hair" without protection will become quiet and lose all motivation until the end of its life!
Dunn, Klein, and Lo Yao all drew their guns and aimed them at each other's heads.
At this time, Old Neil's face showed a look of extreme fear and struggle, and his strong desire to survive slightly overcame the influence of the seal "3-0611".
The four extra eyes were gone, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and around his mouth were so deep, his hair was so gray, and his dark red eyes were slightly cloudy, just like Crane had seen him for the first time.
"Dunn, do you remember when I saved you......"
"Luo Yao, do you remember that I helped you save your family's lives......
"Crane, do you remember when I taught you the occult every day? Remember when we discussed how to reimburse expenses? Remember when I got you hand-ground coffee? Remember when we dealt with the out-of-control punisher together?"
......
An illusory plea crept into Crane's ears, causing his right hand holding the revolver to tremble visibly, making him feel how hard the trigger was to pull.
Bang!
Two silver demon hunting bullets flew out, one after the other, and pierced Old Neil's head.
Crane saw the look of despair on that unusually familiar face, saw his skull being torn open, and saw blood red and milky white splattering out in all directions.
The viscous blood-colored liquid around them began to shrink and quietly flow back to the vicinity of Old Neil's head, which had fallen to the ground, while Dunn and Luo Yao lowered their muzzles at the same time, falling silent.
Klein watched all this in silence, watching Old Neil's "corpse" finally turn into a clump of rotten flesh, and saw a pair of painful, dark red, crystalline eyes in the flesh.
He just felt that it was more like a dream, and he couldn't believe that it had happened like this, that it was over.
He watched blankly and wordlessly as Dunn took two steps forward, and saw the captain's slightly rickety back.
Dunn, who was wearing a black trench coat, looked at the "corpse" of old Neil in front of him, and said in a deep voice to himself:
"We are Guardians, and we are a bunch of wretched creatures who are always fighting danger and madness. ”
