Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]
Chapter 24
"What do you mean by that?"
The butler suppressed his anger, but his voice became thinner, resonating with the surrounding air at a high frequency like the chirping of cicadas in a summer night.
"Mr. Housekeeper should have heard his words very clearly." Song Zan asked with a smile. He felt that he would be able to successfully escape from this illusion in the near future. "The maid Sophie Ireland already had a child. It is said that this child He died with her in the black forest? Where is his body, and where is the tombstone?"
"The child's body was of course buried with Sophie in the Black Woods—"
"You're lying. Don't mention the child's body. I went around Sophie's grave in a big circle. I even dug up her grave. There was nothing in it."
The butler suddenly sneered: "So this is your work attitude? As a consulting detective recommended by the police, you disregarded your rules and decency as a detective, and actually did something like digging up corpses in the cemetery—"
"Then you really underestimated the profession of consulting detectives." Domingo sighed, "We never care about the means in order to pursue the truth. It's just a piece of cake."
The butler's eyes widened.
"As the heir of the castle, I think I have the right to investigate this mystery." Si Qingxuan raised his chin and said, "Why don't you lead us to the Black Forest to find out... What do you think? Rudolph?"
The white mist outside the castle was surging, as if alive.
The awakened ones and Si Qingxuan unknowingly formed a circle in front of the housekeeper.
It seems that there is a posture of joining forces to press him.
The butler looked at them and suddenly gave a low laugh.
He took off the one-sided glasses on the bridge of his nose, threw them lightly on the ground, raised his feet and crushed them, and when he raised his head again, the pupils of both eyes turned a frightening blue-white.
"Interesting." The butler's cheekbones gradually swelled up, and his limbs gradually shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into limbs; behind him, something pierced through the fabric, and stretched out like a shadow in the night—— It was a pair of huge moth-shaped wings, painted with dizzyingly colorful patterns, and the dark green scales fell down with his movements, "The ants who are sacrificed... have actually learned to struggle!" ?”
Huge wings whipped up a gust of wind.
[This is a mothman, a weird creature that often lives with ouroborceres.Like all lingling moths, they are prone to light and heat, and are afraid of cold and water.But it can spin silk to form a pupa, and there are toxins on the silk that can paralyze the nerves. 】
[Speaking of which, the patterns on its wings can also confuse the enemy... But unfortunately, the people present are all high-level awakeners, and this kind of mental attack is almost ineffective for them. 】
The Awakened were all ready to fight - Domingo took out his dagger; although Garcia didn't need a weapon, he also put his index finger on his temple and made a posture similar to that of Dr. X; Zhao Lin is more direct, his little flames are entrenched at the fingertips, and it seems that he is already excited.
Song Zan was also eager to try, but was pushed back unnoticed by other awakened people.
Song Zan: "???"
"You're all polluted." Garcia patted him on the shoulder, "It's better to take a good rest."
Song Zan: "Hey, how can you fight without me—"
He had no choice but to walk to Si Qingxuan's side, assuming that he was staying behind to protect this delicate young master.
But how to talk to the young master is a problem.
"Well, ahem, young master Morandon, aren't you surprised that your housekeeper has turned into a moth?" Song Zan, the flirtatious flirt, said.
[This kid not only has exaggerated acting skills, but also doesn't look very smart. 】The system commented pertinently.
Si Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, and responded coldly: "Get out of the way, you are blocking my sight."
Song Zan: "..."
Obviously this young master is a human being, the most common NPC in this illusion.Why do you feel a chill down your spine after being stared at by him?
On the other side, the awakened ones and the butler were fighting in full swing.
Zhaolin was using fire to force the moth down from the air.It continuously spits out white, slimy filaments downwards, weaving them into a net to resist the scorching fire.
These filaments it spits out are not very strong, but it is very difficult to get rid of them.Garcia was unable to dodge in the mothman's wave of attacks, and was entangled in cocoons for a few seconds, and a blue scar appeared on the back of his hand instantly.
Domingo threw him a bottle of blue antidote: "Take it!"
Garcia quickly took the bottle of antidote, drank it, and the intertwined scars on his hand instantly crawled away from the back of his hand like a live spider.
"His talent is very useful." Si Qingxuan said to the system.
【Yes, 'Medicine Kit' can be rated as an A-level talent because of its extensive and practical auxiliary abilities.However, although the dagger on his body is good, it really can't penetrate the scale armor on this moth, unless...]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Domingo successfully plunged the dagger into the Mothman's eye.
It neighed in pain, and its wings flapped violently.
The flames enveloped it in a dangerous and deft manner. The bright flames almost illuminated the entire terrace, but did not directly burn the Mothman to ashes.
Zhao Lin raised his head, his eyes reflected the distorted firelight: "Who do you want to sacrifice us to?"
Nine out of ten fanatics of the evil god are keen on offering sacrifices, and the remaining one is obsessed with self-sacrifice.According to them, although most of the time they are acting as the violent machines of the executive department and crusade against all kinds of strange creatures, they still know a thing or two about the many "mysterious existences" that have sprung up like mushrooms: in one sentence, there are not many nice one.
Therefore, there is no need to be merciful when facing them.
The giant moth felt the burning pain of being licked by the tongue of fire, but it didn't show any signs of admitting defeat.
It suddenly looked in Si Qingxuan's direction, and opened its mouth that had turned into a mouthpart, as if showing a cryptic smile.
The next second, a huge black figure jumped down from the wall of the balcony, and the boning knife in his hand slashed straight at Si Qingxuan's waist!
Song Zan stood beside Si Qingxuan, unable to react in time, he could only see the burly man with fierce eyes rushing out from his side - that was the chef of the castle, he had seen him in the living room before!
"Be careful!" Song Zan shouted subconsciously, and activated his talent, "Freezing Point".
The chef's blood was frozen all over his body, and even his skin was covered with a light layer of ice.But his movements still didn't stop.
boom.Surrounded by the sound of violent wind, the flames came suddenly, with the heat of burning everything.The chef was instantly burned into a scorched human figure in the fire.
The boning knife fell to the ground with a clang, and it was still stained with some old blood that hadn't been cleaned.
Song Zan gave a thumbs up in the direction of Zhaolin: "Thanks, boss!"
How convenient it is to have an attack mage with high accuracy!
However, Song Zan soon felt a wave of dizziness hit his mind - he spread his palms and found that his hands were covered with a layer of gray and black.
The use of abilities exacerbated the erosion caused by this illusion.
Song Zan was inevitably a little scared when the secret path was not good—he had only eaten a small amount of food provided by the chef, and he was polluted to this degree. It will become the nourishment of this illusion.
After a few seconds, the erosion on his body stabilized.
Song Zan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the housekeeper bound by the fire beam—or the mothman, watching it struggling in the air.
The mothman's gaze was firmly fixed on Si Qingxuan, and he roared at him in a dying struggle. The black beak protruded from the split mouthparts, and he tried his best to drill in the direction of Si Qingxuan, but was forced to stop mid-air.
"Are you okay?" Zhaolin looked at Si Qingxuan, with a bit of eagerness in his tone.
"I'm fine." Si Qingxuan smiled and replied calmly, "It's your companion, it seems that some subtle changes have taken place in him... but you must be careful."
Domingo and Garcia hurried over to check Song Zan's situation.
"... Great God!" Mothman stopped struggling, and shouted in a high-pitched voice under everyone's gaze, "I curse the Morandon family with all my strength - imprisoned for generations In this ancient castle! I will never have relatives and friends, and I will never lose my loved ones!"
After finishing speaking, the flames around it burst lightly.Then, it raised its head, and the flames around it suddenly turned dark green, swallowing it in an instant!
[This moth sacrificed itself to the 'God'.It's a pity that moths rushed to the flame in vain, and its curse was doomed to fail.When it comes to the curse of concepts such as "losing a loved one forever", one must make a wish to the evil god who can control fate.What kind of god is the ouroborcus? ...This group of people's basic knowledge of the evil god's system is really frighteningly lacking. 】The system complained aloud.
In fact, the information that people now know about the various evil gods can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg—there are even more unknown mysteries hidden under the sea.
Just like at this moment, the Awakened watched the Mothman spontaneously combust, but didn't know what would happen next.
"Have we passed the test?" Song Zan said excitedly, "We have punished the murderer who killed the maid Sophie!"
But is this really the case?
The white mist outside the castle began to spread overwhelmingly...Suddenly, the white mist gathered and swallowed them quietly while everyone was not paying attention.
After the awakened ones were devoured, a scene similar to a game CG appeared in front of them.Look carefully, what appears inside is the appearance of Master Morandon——
"After the death of the steward, Master Morandon regained control of the castle."
"The servants in the castle fled in all directions, only the maid Lucia never left the young master."
"The young master decided to take Lucia out of this castle."
"All roads are blocked by a mysterious unknown force... The young master decided to take Lucia on a boat and cross the man-made lake behind the castle."
"They're on board."
"Countless pairs of pale and transparent hands rise from the water."
"Lucia was pulled overboard by those hands and drowned. She died. Her hair was floating in the lake like seaweed."
"The young master collapsed and jumped off the boat, and suddenly discovered that the water in this man-made lake is not deep, and it can only submerge his thighs."
The butler suppressed his anger, but his voice became thinner, resonating with the surrounding air at a high frequency like the chirping of cicadas in a summer night.
"Mr. Housekeeper should have heard his words very clearly." Song Zan asked with a smile. He felt that he would be able to successfully escape from this illusion in the near future.
