The Modern Age of the Mysterious

"They can turn... the whole castle into gold...

"Why, can't we cure our disease?"

Hearing what the child said, Sean suddenly realized: "This is the period after Flamel abused the Philosopher's Stone?"

After "Dawn Warlock" Flamel restored the Philosopher's Stone, in order to please the king, he used the Philosopher's Stone to create many miracles. As a result, the plague broke out in the country the following year...

The dead are in the tens of thousands.

"This is... the Apennine in the sixteenth century?"

Sean frowned, constantly thinking about the relationship between Labyrinth Island and time and space.

Doll Scrap Yard, Plague City...

"What kind of place is Labyrinth Island?"

Still no clue.

The sick child broke out again with a violent cough

Sean heard the movement behind him, pulled Olivia and hid in the closet next to him...

After dozens of seconds, several people broke into the room.

The two heads were dressed in ordinary clothes, and their noses and mouths were covered with white cloth.

The one walking behind was wearing a black coat and leather gloves, and the cuffs were fastened with a belt.

Wearing a wide black wide-brimmed hat on his head, and a leather beak mask on his face...

"Doctor Birdbeak?"

This is a type of people who can often be seen in Europe during the plague period.

Together with the clergy, they vainly "treated" the plague-infected and disposed of the dead bodies of the infected.

Because the whole-body shielding outfit isolates the fleas that spread the plague to a certain extent, their survival rate is higher than that of civilians.

The infected child has lost consciousness, and Doctor Bird's Beak directed the masked man to carry him out the door...

Glancing at Olivia, in order to find out the truth about Labyrinth Island, Sean chose to follow him silently.

Passing through a cemetery full of rough diamond-shaped frames, Sean smelled the smell of burning firewood in the air.

Following Doctor Birdbeak from a distance, Sean came to a square.

The square was covered with corpses, extending to the end.

Under the white cloth covering the corpse, the dark hands and feet of the deceased were exposed.

The huge mice are still eating those black fingers that have been necrotic...

"The Black Death?"

"The disaster caused by the Golden Stone turned out to be the Black Death..."

Sean recalled the terrifying plague that broke out in Europe in the fourteenth century, recorded in the history books.

The Black Death once killed one-third of the European population.

"The misuse of the Philosopher's Stone caused the Black Death to make a comeback in the Apennine in the sixteenth century...

"However, why didn't it sweep across the Continent this time...

"Just causing tens of thousands of deaths in the Apennine?"

On the square, the bird-beaked doctors were directing the living people to throw the blackened corpses into a large earthen furnace that was temporarily set up to burn...

The smell of burning firewood I just smelled was actually a human body.

The terrifying scene in front of him made Sean feel a little powerless.

"Just now, I directly touched those dirty things with my wounded hand..." The feeling of fever surfaced again.

"If you are infected with this disease..."

I can't imagine such an ending.

Inside the labyrinth island, it is no different from hell.

"No wonder... the enemy of Rabilins," swallowing hard, Sean thought, "I would rather die than be exiled here..."

The numb face was a little itchy, and it seemed that there were threads of spider silk blown to the face by the wind.

Shawn flicked his hand and saw a few white threads on his blood-stained palm.

White silk thread?

Shawn, who realized something, ran away with Olivia.

After a bang, the puppet group rushed out of the fog!

Hahahaha…

Countless hands and feet stepped on the corpse spread on the ground, and the bird-beak doctor in the distance turned his head and looked here.

Shawn, sweating all over, ran forward with the instinct of survival.

At this time, Olivia was in better shape than him, and her slender limbs strongly supported Sean.

Shawn, who has been in the mysterious world for such a long time, feels as if he has returned to the spiritual realm of Central Avenue again...

Once again, he has become an ordinary person who is helpless in the face of mystery.

No matter how far you go, how strong you become... Mystery is still looking for a chance to devour you!

After running for an unknown amount of time, Sean and Olivia rushed into the street at the other end of the square.

At this time, Sean was already a little dizzy. He wanted to hide and rushed into a huge black church.

The resentment puppet didn't seem to be chasing after it, and walked towards the depths of the dark church. Sean said, "Olivia, there's really nothing I can do for a while... I'll use that suitcase..."

Fair arms dealer.

Sean's hand touched the transparent stomach pocket, the A-level inheritance that Arthur Merlin gave him.

"I can't die here..."

The battle with Rabilins is still a long way off, and I don't know what kind of enemies I will encounter on the way to save Arya...

Sean didn't want to waste a chance...

However, if you die here, everything will be over.

He won't be stupid enough to keep his trump card in hand when disaster strikes.

Before rushing into the black church, Sean had hoped to find the back door in the church.

In this way, you can temporarily escape the pursuit of the dolls.

Wait until the spiritual power recovers, even if it only recovers to half...

Things will be very different.

But…

"As long as it rains, it's a downpour..."

When he reached the end, he saw a cellar full of sewage and emitting a foul smell.

There is no back door.

And the resentment puppet with white silk threads floating all over his body has already entered the church.

Not only that, Sean found that his arrival seemed to have disturbed a certain existence in this black church.

The foul-smelling sewage pool in the cellar suddenly surged, making a dense chirping sound like a flock of trapped birds!

"What's this?!"

Sean took two steps back, and found that a large mass of crawling things emerged from the sewage in the cellar.

The thing was so huge that it fell to the ground like a dark cloud.

This dark cloud is full of bright little dots.

It was a pair of eyes.

The corner of the "dark cloud" broke through the tiles on the top of the church, and the dim sky light poured down. Only then did Sean see clearly what was in front of him...

Countless mice, alive, dead, mutilated...they were squirming and huddled together...

"The Rat King".

When there is a serious rat infestation in a certain city, the rats have super reproductive ability and like to crowd in dark corners. Their long tails are likely to be entangled for various reasons and can no longer be separated.

The more and more these rats gather, they are forced to act together, even if the same kind of gang dies it doesn't matter - they will become food for their companions.

In the end, these rats formed a terrifying existence that could kill large animals with countless mouths - the rat king.

In Gaul, the rat king is also known as "the rat's spinning wheel".

The Rat King is a symbol of plagues, disasters and rat infestations...

Sean looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Countless mice surged like a fountain, piling up together, as if they had become an amorphous giant, their squeaks resounding through the sky...

The terrifying and bizarre degree of what was in front of him seemed to be an illusion caused by his fever.

"This city... the city's Black Death..."

Sean's face flushed morbidly, his eyes frantic,

"It's it, it's what made it!"

Labyrinth Island, that is, hell.
