Chapter 249: The Great Stench Incident
"And how do I get out of here?" asked Chris hurriedly.
"Go back to where you started, close your eyes, follow your spiritual instincts, don't be distracted by anything outside, and don't open your eyes halfway through. Finally, when you actually get out of here, you'll have a very clear feeling. ”
Monroe poured Chris another cup of tea and smiled:
"Little one, drink this cup of tea, let's go. ”
Chris obediently picked up his teacup, drank the still warm tea, and then strode out of the blacksmith shop after respectfully thanking and saying goodbye.
Looking at Chris's departing figure, the old blacksmith chuckled in a low voice:
"He was able to drink six cups of the divine tea that I had personally refined, and he was only Sequence 7 now, which meant that his talent could make him a Sequence 1 existence...... Hehe, although this is only a prediction with a slim chance, it is still an amazing little guy. ”
At the same time, in the Cathedral of the God of Mechanics and Intelligence in Federenburg.
Abraham looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his face and asked:
"It's Wardhouse, marvel at how you remembered to come to see me, an old man. ”
Wardhouse, who usually had a lazy and smiling face, looked at the archbishop with a somewhat serious expression at this time, and said directly:
"Teacher, I just noticed that Chris's brat aura seems to have completely disappeared in Federenburg, so I suspect that either he has been kidnapped by the people of the 'Gates of Hades', or he has strayed into that place. ”
Abraham's old face showed a "wicked smile" and nodded:
"That's right, that little guy is there now, and seems to be having a good time talking to an old fellow. ”
Wardhouse's serious and handsome face showed a rare hint of anxiety and said:
"Then should I go directly to bring him back from there, after all, there are a lot of mid-level and even demigod-level criminals imprisoned there. ”
Abraham lifted the gold-rimmed frame on the bridge of his nose and smiled:
"Don't worry, Chris is not in danger there, and he is probably going to come out soon. This time, it was also because of the mistake of riding the 'Nether Carriage' that I entered there. ”
"'Nether carriage'?" Wardhouse looked at the archbishop suspiciously, "how could he see that carriage that didn't exist in the human realm?"
"Because he had strayed into Black and Blue Grass Street once when he was a child, he had the smell of it on his body, so he could see the carriage. I remember that if I hadn't tripped the old woman with a stool in time, I'm afraid this unlucky little fellow would have stayed there forever. ”
As he spoke, Abraham's face showed a smug look that did not match his identity, and he continued:
"Alright, the little guy is almost coming out, you can go pick him up now. ”
And the male protagonist of their conversation is now walking on the road with his eyes closed.
Under the guidance of the spirit, Chris walked forward unhurriedly, but soon, he ran into problems.
In his vision, black mist flowed from both sides of the street, and began to wrap around his body, tugging at his feet to prevent him from moving on.
Chris wanted to open his eyes and see what the hell was stopping him, but Chris still remembered Mr. Monroe's words, and still closed his eyes tightly, struggling to move forward.
If Chris had opened his eyes at this time, he would have seen incomplete mythical creatures lining the streets, covered in disgusting blood and pus, greedily sticking out their sticky tongues.
And in their rotten bodies, scarlet evil eyes were greedily watching the young man who was walking with his eyes closed.
If Chris opens his eyes at this time, he will be quickly contaminated by this incomplete mythical creature in an instant, and finally, like them, will lose control and become an inhuman monster, and then be swallowed into his stomach by these stronger monsters.
In the past thousand years, many demigod-level criminals have been forced to show their incomplete mythical creature state and become this monster because of various psychological factors due to their long-term detention.
But because they already have divinity, they don't die directly, but become monsters that rot and lose their minds, blocking people who want to leave here.
This is also a very shrewd ploy of the Church, criminals who were imprisoned during their lifetimes, and when they lost control, they became prison caretakers, making the best use of everything and squeezing out their last bit of value.
When Chris was about to be exhausted with his tired legs, he finally felt the warm sunshine, the warm breeze, and the noise of the crowd.
Chris continued to walk forward with his eyes closed, and then with a "bang", he bumped into a somewhat warm hard object.
Chris hurriedly opened his eyes and saw Wardhouse standing in front of him with a ruffian smile on his face.
And what I just bumped into is probably his chest.
I only heard this casual man with a handsome face, but never take care of himself, smile and say:
"Welcome back alive, lucky little one. ”
At this moment, Chris only felt that his eyes were slightly sour, and he showed a bright smile for the rest of his life.
On Sunday morning, it's been a few days since Chris's day trip to Black Blue Grass Street, but a sudden disaster has struck.
First of all, the quality of the air in Federenburg has dropped rapidly, and the air is full of unbearable stench.
Immediately afterwards, from the western side of Federenburg, many poor workers began to fall ill, with fever, cough, and even a persistent high fever.
Several community hospitals in the West End were filled with a large number of patients with high fevers, and then the seemingly contagious disease began to spread on a large scale in Federenburg.
From the West District to the South District, and then to the East and North Districts, everyone was in danger for a while, and all of them were closed.
For a time, because of the plague, all the factories were shut down and the shops were closed.
And the evils that breed are also constantly happening in the shadows of the city.
This sudden disaster also completely disrupted Wardhouse and Caroline's deployment against the "Gates of Hades" and Sally.
Chris quickly returned to the fifth "Punisher" squad to help James deal with the time.
Wearing gas masks, the police began to patrol the city to arrest scoundrels, splashes and thugs who tried to cause trouble.
And all the "Punishers" and "Immortals" are also working together to find the creators behind this plague.
The outbreak of the great stench was swift and sudden, as if someone had planned it.
Although the Industrial Revolution launched by Arnold the Great caused many rural people to flock to the cities in search of work, there were far from enough places to live.
