Chapter 173 Moon Embracing Ceremony
in the mist.

The singing of the female merman stopped abruptly.

Its originally indifferent face suddenly turned hideous, its two eyes wandered, and Rudolph beside him was full of confusion. At this moment, he had no ability to think, and was completely reduced to a puppet body.

There are also many ordinary employees who are under control.

They are also like Rudolph.

The female merman was silent for a while, then looked at the direction where Romon killed the male merman, opened his mouth, and sang again.Big drops of tears flowed from his eyes, and they turned into crystal pearls under the pool where he sat.

Romon didn't know that.

After walking out of the pearl processing factory, he was stunned to find that the fog and singing inside were completely invisible outside, as if he was in two worlds.

This should also be the ability of the mermaid.

I just don't know what the merman is trying to make such a big noise here.

Just as Romon was about to leave, two men in black uniforms came across the street.

The two held a metal box in their hands, and there was a crisp sound that kept playing in a loop.This is a music box, but after going through the Mermaid incident, Romon had a stressful reaction to these rhythm-related things.

He hasn't spoken yet.

The man holding the music box among the two spoke first: "Strange, it wasn't polluted by the song of the tear shark, it shouldn't be. Those who escaped from the fog before were more or less affected by their minds."

He seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be communicating with his companions.

The two exchanged glances with each other, and then the man holding the music box came up: "You should still have the ability to communicate and distinguish what I said. I am Dennis, the law enforcer of the Steam Church, and now our Steam Church is dealing with the tear shark. Incident. You came out of it, do you know what's going on inside?"

Dennis showed his ID with a bad look.

Most of these underground awakeners have eccentric temperaments. Who knows if they will cooperate with them in their work. If this person does not cooperate, then they can only use tough methods.

However, Romon's reaction surprised him.

This handsome looking guy came over enthusiastically: "I just want to report the case to you. The situation here is very complicated, but the most important thing is that a female merman is difficult to deal with."

talking.

Romon told the two of them carefully about his experience in it.

Just skipped the part where he killed the male merman.

"The six Tier [-]s have no way to take that merman, and there is one Tier [-] Awakened who was instantly bewildered by the merman?" Dennis looked serious, as if a large stone was pressing down in his heart.

The Church of Steam has already strictly controlled this place, and I didn't expect this kind of change to happen suddenly tonight.

"You have already discovered the abnormality here?" Romon looked at the two at the moment, suspecting that the Church of Steam had already discovered the abnormality here, but the other party did not take action for a long time, which made him feel a little surprised.

It seems that the church is waiting for this matter to fully ferment before resolving it.

Such an abnormal move made the dark thoughts in Romon's heart turn.

"You have a better idea of ​​what's going on inside. We'll start an attack later. You have to accompany us to go in again."

Dennis said seriously.

Hearing this sentence, Luo Meng frowned slightly. This guy is obviously going to forcibly requisition him. Would it be good to go in with them?
Isn't that just being a cannon fodder?

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

At this time, Dennis spoke again: "We have a different-color music box in our hands. You don't have to worry about the singing of the tear shark. After entering, you only need to take us to the other party's location and then leave. Friends, you must believe in the ability of our Steam Church to do things."

Luo Meng said in a deep voice: "I'm a teacher from Saint Amethyst Academy. I was only entrusted by Mr. Rudolph tonight to help him solve the problem. I'm only an Awakened who has only entered the third-order, so I'm sorry."

He didn't want to be a cannon fodder.

Allowing these two people to talk hysterically, without even benefiting, just want to make people sacrifice their lives?
Hearing Romon's words, Dennis' face turned cold, not as pleasant as before.

And the guy next to him looked even more impatient: "Do you think we are negotiating with you? Come out of this pearl processing factory, who knows if you are an accomplice of the mermaid? If you cooperate with us obediently, you can still do it. Wash away the suspicion, if you refuse, then go back to the Steam Church with us for questioning, don't use the name of the academy to pressure us, now this is the Steam Church doing business!"

The two were arrogant.

When there was a disagreement, he immediately started to do it.

Luo Meng's eyes completely darkened.

The people in the Archdiocese of the Steam Church are completely different from those in Wudun.But there are good people and bad people in that place, and so is the church.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Luo Meng knows this.

Churches are not all good people.

Just compared with the cult members who sacrifice their lives at every turn, they seem too decent.

Romon clenched his fists.

If he fights with these two people, he has eight levels of confidence to win, and four levels of confidence to kill them.

Killing two people is easy, but disposing of the bodies afterwards is troublesome.

And the disappearance of two third-tier members of the church is not as simple as the disappearance of a son of a marginal noble. The church will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.

The chances of him evading pursuit are slim.

Not to mention that he may not have had time to dispose of the body afterwards.

It's really troublesome, these extraordinary means can make the dead speak, which greatly limits Romon's performance.

Weigh the pros and cons.

Luo Meng dispelled the urge to do it.

"How are you thinking? You have to think about it clearly, don't make the wrong choice. This time the Tear Shark incident caused so many deaths, if you become a party member, even the people of St. Amethyst College will only be hanged on the gallows. end."

Dennis threatened coldly.

At this time, another group of people just happened to be patrolling on the side of the street. They were wearing the clothes of the Bureau of Investigation, and the leader happened to be Ferranka of the Bureau of Investigation.

When Romon saw Ferranca, he immediately winked.

Because of the last cemetery incident, Ferranka is now considered to have been promoted to one level, and is not only responsible for logistical work, but has the opportunity to take the initiative to take out tasks.

This is also what he asked himself. Although the logistics work is safe, the remuneration and wages are not high.If you want to develop further, go to the top of the Investigation Bureau, and go further on the road of the Awakened, you must turn to the front line.

When the logistics personnel reach the third rank, the Bureau of Investigation will not continue to waste resources to train the logistics personnel to advance to the fourth rank.

It's actually quite understandable.

What does a logistician need such a high combat effectiveness?
Moreover, after the level is high, it will become unstable, and it is very likely that the alienation will get out of control, which is even more unfavorable for work.

The most important thing for logistics members is stability.

Therefore, after making a difficult decision, Ferranka gave up the logistical and easy fishing work.

"Dennis, I didn't expect you guys to have the time to hang around here. What? Want to get me to arrange for someone to check the situation?"

Ferranka swaggered over with a bad look in his eyes.

Behind him were several fighters from the Bureau of Investigation. Speaking of the crowd, it was obvious that the Bureau of Investigation had the upper hand.

Dennis frowned: "Is he from your Bureau of Investigation?"

"Any opinions? The Steam Church has already dealt with the merman, and the two of you are still not going to support." Ferranka sneered.

Hearing this sentence, Dennis and his companion's expressions changed.

Although they were very interested in the insider who came out of the pearl processing factory and wanted to take him away, but now that the operation of the Steam Church has begun, they have no time to entangle with Ferranka.

Many forces were involved in tonight's action.

Everyone is waiting for the tear shark to condense the moon shark through the moon hugging ceremony, and then rely on their ability to get it, so the two must rush back as soon as possible.

I saw the two Awakeners of the Church of Steam leave.

Only then did Ferranka breathe a sigh of relief, "How did you get entangled with these guys from the Steam Church? I just left the team here, and this time I was going to fight the autumn wind on the outside, but you were so good, you actually went in for a walk. You dare to enter the cultivated pearl field, my brother admires it."

Hearing what the other party said, Romon quickly asked, "Pearl Field? Do you know the situation here?"

"Of course I do, you came here without knowing anything?" Ferranka looked at Romon with a look of astonishment, like a lunatic.

resignedly.

Romon could only retell the fact that he was hired by Rudolph to come in to solve the murder case here.

The other party sighed after hearing this: "If you come and ask my brother about this matter, I won't let you get involved. The mermen here don't appear at will, but were driven over from the old world. ."

"I was driven over from the old world?"

Romon was very sure that he heard correctly, but no matter how he interpreted this sentence, it was not very smooth.

Ferranca was quick to explain the ins and outs of the incident.

Existing sharks basically live in the depths of the sea, and it is extremely difficult to find one.Even if you actually meet a merman on the sea, it will be in groups, making it impossible to start.But there are many treasured spiritual materials on the merman, and the moon shark pearl is the most precious one.

Moon shark beads can only be made by sharks, and it is said to have magical effects.

But this kind of thing can only be produced by the merman through a ceremony called hugging the moon.Ferranca didn't know what effect it had, but only knew that it was very precious. The superiors gave a death order, and if there was a chance, he would try to snatch it as much as possible.

The origin of this tear shark was quietly stocked here by a fourth-order awakener, who wanted to use it as a material for his future breakthrough.

But this fourth-order awakener was unfortunate, and died in the siege of the Steam Church some time ago.

So the information of this merman was also exposed.

But the Church of Steam never came to deal with it, but let it grow and grow, secretly giving birth to shark beads.

In other words, this is what the Steam Church is raising fish, and just using this thing, let them use this shark to create moon shark beads.

"But there's more than one merman here!" Romon asked suspiciously after listening to Ferranka's description.

The other party's expression changed slightly, with a look of disbelief, "More than one? It may be that the guys from the Steam Church lied to us, or it may be that something has happened in this pearl processing factory! Anyway, the news I received is like this, today The evening is the day when the teary shark held the ceremony of holding the moon.

Although the Steam Church is more prepared, we all have a chance.

Who can get the moon shark pearl, maybe.

Well, do you want to go in with us and see?If there is danger, we will leave as soon as possible and never stay longer. "

Romon thought for a while, then nodded.

He really wanted to go back and see what was inside.

But he was curious, what role did Rudolph play in this whole thing?
After all, this is his factory, and he has gone to great lengths to hire so many helpers, so he wants to solve this merman.If I knew that this was a fish raised by the steam church, I wonder if I would want to vomit blood.

"Does Rudolph know that the merman was deliberately left in the factory by the Church of Steam?"

"Rudolph?" Ferranka recalled for a moment, and then said, "Isn't this guy a believer in the Church of Steam? It's time for him to contribute to the Church of Steam."

Hearing this sentence, it was obvious that Rudolph did not know the plan of the Church of Steam.

Romon remembered the attitude of the two members of the Steam Church before, and the Steam Church's current wave of laying eggs.

Now it seems that this Rudolph is not a pure iron clown?

"Let's go, if you're late, you won't be able to see anything. Although this time I'm just here to try my luck, but in case there is a special harvest."

Ferranka also had a bit of luck in picking up a bargain.

This time, it was mainly the action of the Steam Church. The forces sent by the other major forces were not strong. They mainly mixed in with the mentality of watching the fun to see if they could find some bargains.

As soon as Ferranca and Romon got together, they entered the pearl processing factory.

Returning to this place again, the fog in the air reappeared.

The fog inside here is more dense than before, and there is a faint singing sound, the female mermaid's singing has not stopped, and the melody has become more and more strange and shrill.

But the Bureau of Investigation also had a way to prevent the shark from singing. Ferranka gave Romon a pair of earplugs.

"After wearing it, it can isolate the song of the tear shark. The tear shark is a bit special, even the third-order awakened is very dangerous to face it, we have to be careful."

Ferranca is very stable.

Romon put on the pair of earplugs, and sure enough, he felt that the singing voices floating around began to weaken. Although some vague voices were still reverberating, the impact was several times smaller.

In the surrounding fog, Shui Mei still attacked everyone indiscriminately.

But Ferranka took out a crystal ball, crushed it, and formed a light shield about the size of a carriage around the periphery, protecting everyone so that they were not penetrated by these water charms.

This is a low-level relic.

For the third-level squad of the Bureau of Investigation, the captain has the right to apply for a low-level relic to ensure safety.

Romon and Ferranca didn't take a few steps when they heard a harsh fighting sound coming from the front. The two of them were shocked and rushed away with the rest of the investigation bureau.

"Someone has fought! It seems that this place is indeed not what the Steam Church thought before. There must be other things mixed in. There are variables tonight."

Ferranka's eyes flashed brightly.

A group of seven people quickly came to the place where they were fighting in the fog.

Fighting were four members of the Church of Steam and three mermen.

The three sharks were strong and strong. Although they only held ordinary iron weapons in their hands, they were able to fight for a long time under the siege of the four members of the Steam Church, and even formed a counterattack from time to time, making the four of them stunned. Some embarrassed.

"Three sharks again?"

Roman was surprised.

But Ferranka shook his head and said in a deep voice, "These are just the vassal races of the mermen, not the real pure-blooded mermen. They only have a part of the characteristics and power of the merpeople. Among the merpeople, women occupy the upper hand. Dominance, generally the really powerful sharks are women, and they are called tear sharks."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder the merman he encountered was so weak, he killed it at will.

As a scholar, Ferranca may not be very strong in combat, but he is very knowledgeable.Especially in these strange areas.

"Aren't there many women in the merman race?"

Romon asked again.

Ferranka shook his head: "On the contrary, there are not many women in the mermen, but the number is extremely rare, and there are even fewer tear sharks. Although they have great power, they are more difficult to grow. This time, the steam church made the idea. , is the tear shark. But the situation here is a little out of control now. They made the female shark a tear shark, and now they want it to perform a moon hugging ceremony, is that simple?"

The ceremony of holding the moon is a ritual within the merpeople.

There are very few records that exist today, even within the church, there are very few records of these rare races, so most people are not clear about the specific moon-holding ceremony.

The battle ahead is basically a foregone conclusion.

The four Awakeners of the Church of Steam faced off against the three mermaids. Although they could not attack for a long time, victory was only a matter of time.

The group of people did not stay here for a long time, but continued to the core area, which is where Romon encountered the tear shark before.

There should be the center of the battle.

The Tear Shark was not something to be slaughtered, as Ferranka had expected.There are other strange forces mixed in tonight, which is a good time to fish in troubled waters.

A group of people walked inside and found that there were fierce battles everywhere.

There are people from all major forces!

The guy who came here tonight with the idea of ​​​​playing the autumn wind is almost caught in the battle at this moment. There are not only tear sharks in the white fog, but also many other monsters.These things came out of nowhere, and for a while, the processing factory was very lively.

Romon was happy in his heart.

If he had come out later, he might have been deeply involved.Now a person wants to escape from the pearl processing factory, the difficulty has increased exponentially.

For this strange change, Ferranka couldn't say why.

Just when a few people were about to move on.

The thick white mist suddenly stirred up, but the cloud in the center dissipated in an instant, revealing a clear and real scene.

The workers in the previous factories have now piled up into a mountain of flesh and blood, and their limbs are randomly fitted together, like a scrambled puzzle.This kind of composition is disgusting but has a strange beauty.Blood dripped red on the ground, and it could be vaguely recognized that this place was the previous pool fountain!
Because the white mist gradually dissipated.

With the fierce moonlight shining around the fountain, as long as you stand a little higher in the pearl processing factory, you can see the situation there clearly.

At this time, Ferranka and Romon were lying on the roof of a factory building.

Other members of the Bureau of Investigation stood guard around.

The two were aware of the danger from the beginning of the upheaval, so they resolutely stabilized a wave, did not approach rashly, and chose to observe the situation in a place with a wider field of vision.

It's just that the scene in front of him is enough to make even the most ruthless executioner unable to sleep peacefully, and at least have to have nightmares for a few months.

A sea of ​​corpses and blood.

It's not an adjective, it's really happening right in front of you!

The workers in the factory all died.

Seeing this shocking scene, Ferranka was too surprised to speak.

Although Romon was well prepared at this moment, he didn't expect the scene to become so tragic, and he didn't even have a chance to survive.

"This ceremony of hugging the moon is too cruel!" Ferranka took a deep breath with anger in her eyes: "The Church of Steam could have stopped it a long time ago, but they are waiting for the merman to finish hugging the moon in order to take her. Moon shark pearl. Now it seems that the Church of Steam should be completely free, and there is obviously another force behind the merman."

The tear shark will condense shark beads in the body, and after the tear shark that holds the moon, the shark beads in the body will become moon shark beads.

As for the role of the moon shark bead, Ferranka is also unclear. Legend has it that it has the magical effect of getting rid of distortion and alienation and restoring normal spirit and body.

"The ceremony of holding the moon is about to begin."

At this time, Ferranka reminded next to him.

Luo Meng asked subconsciously, "We can see this ceremony of holding the moon, right? It won't burst eyes and brains?"

Ferranka looked at him in surprise: "How is it possible, where did you hear this? Unless it is a ritual of facing a very high profile, the powerful psionic brilliance will affect us."

Hearing him say this, Romon felt relieved.

In the pool covered by the sea of ​​blood on the mountain of corpses, the female merman he had seen before was sitting on the highest place, receiving countless moonlight rays of light.

Layers of moonlight washed down.

Her whole body actually began to crystallize, and every inch of her flesh and skin turned into crystals.

The blood on the ground turned into blood lines at this moment, and rushed upstream towards the female merman's body, forming red silk threads on the crystallized body.

"Is this the ceremony of hugging the moon?" Luo Meng's eyes gleamed.

Ferranka stared at him from the side, too late to answer.

It was the first time for both of them to see this kind of ceremony, and they were naturally engrossed at this moment.

And at this time.

With a bang, the female merman was directly covered by the violent explosion.

The people of the Steam Church have done it!
Tonight is their home court, and as soon as the ceremony began, they launched an attack on the merman.

Ferranka said solemnly: "It seems that the guys from the Steam Church also feel that things are getting bigger and they are out of control. They did not wait for the ceremony to hold the moon before they started. They should be afraid of the power behind the merman."

This merman was caught from the old world. It stands to reason that there is no hidden power behind it, but all the performances tonight are telling everyone that this matter is not that simple.

After the violent explosion, the crystallized merman was unscathed, his scarlet eyes stared at the steam combat mecha that was attacking not far away, and his mouth opened to let out a piercing cry:

"Tear Moon!"

Countless brilliance exploded, and the pitch-black night suddenly became as bright as day.

A huge vortex was revealed in mid-air, spinning continuously, as if something was about to grow out of it.

"Ferranka, is there such a link in the ceremony of holding the moon?" Romon turned and asked eagerly.

Ferranka was also stunned at the moment: "I don't know either, but there shouldn't be such a big movement in that ceremony!"
