Oracle of Terra

"Alright."

As a good elder who loves the younger generation, Liang Xun naturally wouldn't begrudge this little money, but at this moment, his terminal was dialed.

The point is 'Master Lin'.

After attending that wedding banquet, Liang Xun naturally added Telles' number. Although there was a high probability that this number would not be called again after he left Dayan, he did not expect that he would be contacted, because usually In other words, it should be Lao Li who was contacted.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take another look at his friend.

"Master Lin."

[Master Liang, I have some bad news to tell you. 】

"My lord, please tell me. If you need assistance, Liang Xun will do his best."

Liang Xun didn't ask what it was, but since even this person said it was bad news, he would naturally not be optimistic. As for Lao Li, he obviously noticed the change in his old friend's expression.

"It seems that the meal is not finished."

[Painted skin ran out. 】

"......................"

Liang Xun's expression suddenly became serious, and then the communication was hung up, and he probably figured out how to act.

"Li, take the children back to the Lin Mansion, remember not to come into contact with people on the road, and try to take the path with few people."

"Is there something urgent?"

"It's an important matter, and it's best not to get in touch with strangers. It's probably safe to go back to the Lin Mansion."

"Uncle Liang, since it's an urgent matter, we can help."

The enthusiastic girl Huaihu is naturally not afraid of such things.

But Liang Xun shook his head.

"You just recovered, and this time the opponent is different from the murderer. It's not a matter of strength. You don't know spells. Let Li protect you well. The enemy is something unspeakable."

"Hey, hey, there are people like that wandering around in broad daylight in this capital city? I'm just a farmer, Liang Xun."

Old Li obviously knew what Liang Xun said about the unspeakable things. After all, they had talked about such things in the school they had attended, and their teacher was an old man who had retired from the Tianshi Mansion.

There are things in this world that cannot be explained, drawn, or written. The harm of those things can be solved by manpower, but the mutation cannot be resisted by manpower, so the best choice is to avoid and not to touch.

Unless you are a master of spells or an artifact.

As for his friend Lao Li.

He knows a little bit of spells, but it can't be said that he can do it completely. If the students of Tianshi Mansion see Lao Li showing off his 'spells', they will probably directly spit at him.

As for the current Lin Mansion...

"Xiaota won again, isn't it?"

Shi Huaiya watched with a depressed face as Tallulah's chess piece stepped on the event grid again and obtained an asset of [-] Longmen coins.

"Maybe I'm lucky today?"

Looking at the number cast as she wished, Talula really felt that something was wrong. Today he went shopping outside and found a wallet with bills totaling [-] yuan, but fortunately she He is a person who is not ignorant of collecting money, but he still got a thousand yuan as a thank you gift.

"I always feel a little wicked."

Lin Yuxia watched Tallulah win another round, and felt that the rich man didn't need to continue playing, and it almost became Tallulah's personal show, and the others either went to jail or got vicious random events,

"Well, it's probably the luck of Telles that guy infected Tallulah."

When Nian came here with a box of mahjong, he planned to change games for the girls.

And she also felt a little itchy watching others play.

"Speaking of which, where is that girl Chen?"

"Hui Jie went out and said she was investigating the case, and said that there were new clues about the smuggling case of the Ministry of Military Affairs that she investigated earlier."

"Is it....."

——Tootoo~

A male voice with a slightly artificial tone sounded, and everyone's expressions changed slightly, looking at Nian who took out the terminal from his arms.

"The ringtone just now..."

"Is it Telles?"

Tallulah couldn't help but feel a chill running down her back when she thought of that wicked Dudulu.

"Oh, I see, I will tell them, but your wife has gone out to investigate the case, sir, are you not worried?"

It seemed that Nian was a little impatient after hearing some answer.

"Okay, okay, if you have nothing to do, go do your work. I'm going to start playing mahjong here."

After finishing speaking, Nian hung up Telles' call and sat down at the table, but Tallulah always felt that the communication was a bit strange.

"what happened?"

"Oh, there is an incident, but according to the progress, it will be resolved in a while, and my second brother will follow."

"?"

Talula remembered that Nian's second brother seemed to be the man with black and white hair, but why did this have something to do with her second brother?

"Hey, the former minister of the Ministry of War that Miss Chen investigated died in the sky prison, and finally summoned some hidden existences and ran out of the sky prison."

"Hey, hey, isn't this something that can be taken lightly?"

There are records of secret events in every country. After becoming the top of the country, Tallulah was also approached by the inner guards to tutor alone. The two veteran Ursus soldiers also gave some supplementary explanations. The so-called unspeakable Although there is no great threat to powerful people, it is a destructive existence to ordinary ordinary people and people with weaker strength.

And there are strong and weak among them. The worst secret recorded in the history of Ursus came from the period of the Eagle Empire. At that time, the royal family was unable to recover from the rise of the Ursas, so it involved the secret call. At that time, the last mobile city held by the Eagle Empire turned into an empty city overnight. So far, no one has investigated what the key word was at that time.

It's just that the empty city still engraved fear in Herag's heart when he was young.

If it is said that secrets exist in the current capital, Tallulah feels that as a capable person, it is still necessary to help.

After all, she is also half a Yan person.

"I think you should leave it to the official organization of Dayan to handle it yourself. Sometimes you may cause more trouble if you help out."

"But... then what type of secret is this time?"

Tallulah tried not to mention the name, just asked about the type, but Nian didn't care too much.

"It's called Painted Skin. It is a skinning monster with obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness. It will peel off the skin of the human body or animal it touches and then disguise it. If it is not deliberately revealed, even us existences cannot easily perceive it. , Of course, there are some exceptions, such as my second brother who likes to explode body avatars, he has a lot of experience in hiding himself, so it should be no problem to find the painted skin."

"Can't you just say it directly?"

"What are you afraid of, my old sister and I are in this house, so if Huapi dares to come to the door, there will be no such thing as Huapi in the future. Secretly, this thing is mostly picked out by people who can beat it, and occasionally speaks harshly To confuse you, but in most cases, the scope of the disaster will be enlarged. After reaching a certain level of cognition and fear, it will be a lot of trouble, but this painted skin, with cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, will be exposed soon come out."

"Hearing what you said, it seems that this thing is not very good?"

"No, once you are directly contacted, you will be skinned and separated from your flesh and blood, and you will never be rescued... Ah, it seems that you can still be rescued."

In [-], I remembered that Telles's [Shopenos] would give special power bonuses and marks to those who entered it, and those painted skins would not come to them easily.

--at the same time

"You said you have new information about the former minister of the Ministry of War?"

The painted skin who pretended to be a guard and notified Telles and Zuo Yue of the death of the military minister had already appeared in front of Chen at this time.

"Ok?"

Seeing that the person in front of him didn't answer, when Chen was about to walk in, Chi Xiao became restless, while the person frowned suspiciously.

"Sword weapon? No...heavy weapon?"

"you are not human!"

The last time Chi Xiao yelled like this, Chen remembered that she still yelled like this when facing the emperor's inner guards, and occasionally when facing Telles, but she also knew that someone was not considered a human being, but now this one said he had intelligence. the informant.....

"superior."

With an order, the city defense soldiers who originally informed Chen to leave the Lin Mansion appeared from around, their expressions dull, but they all held weapons.

"This is...."

Putting his hand on the hilt of Chi Xiao's sword, Chen finally did not choose the restless red sheath blade, but chose Mo Wen, the long sword he would usually use. This sword was custom-made by Talula Xiangnian It was a birthday present for my younger sister. Compared with the commonly used Chi Xiao, the blade of this sword is as bright red as blood, exuding an evil spirit. Although the shape suits her, she usually uses the Chi Xiao with sheath. .

But today, Yin Hong's sword reflected sunlight, but Chen found that he could see through the appearance of the thing in front of him.

"Painted skin?"

She remembered the story she had heard before, the story of a monster who deceived a righteous man with a painted skin and was beheaded.

"Hmph, it's natural to know. After all, although the story is extensive, it really needs a ceremony to call me..."

"Miss Chen, don't listen to him, retreat quickly!"

After the black crow made a quacking sound, it shot down razor-sharp feathers from the sky. After seeing the birds rushing to help, Chen waved Mo Wen with firm belief.

"Bird? Are you of the same race?"

"The current juniors don't even know me. It's really regrettable."

The pitch-black flying bird turned into a storm and swept towards it with crow feathers like whirling blades, but Huapi didn't find it difficult and just shook his head.

"It's a small skill, but it's just a feathered beast."

Hua Pi pressed his hands on the body of the person he had transformed, and the skin was torn apart. The flesh and blood skeleton merged into the current body, and began to combine muscles and transplant bones.

"what?"

After several sword flashes, a bunch of flesh and blood were separated, which also made Chen feel sick for a while. The original guard's appearance also cracked and turned into some indescribable alien shape.

"It's a pity that I can't use your Originium skills. After all, I manipulate at least completely non-functioning skeletons and pieces of meat."

If the infected creature turned into a walking corpse, it was also alive under the mobilization of the origin stone.

"Mr. Raven, what is this thing?"

After seeing those soldiers he knew turned into minced meat and bones, Chen had a look of anger on his face.

"Some special demons, or super life forms that lost to the demons."

"In other words, they are all evil things."

Seeing it with one hand, Chen put one hand on Chi Xiao's sword hilt, since that's the case, then she doesn't need to worry.

Instead of keeping those soldiers in such an ugly state, let them be freed as soon as possible!

"Chi Xiao, draw a sword!"

"?!"

The painted skin monster felt a threat and fear from the heart, just like the cyan mask that those demons who have not yet understood themselves faced at the border.

A scarlet sword light that covers the sky and the sun flashes, no, it only feels that it covers the sky and the sun because it fills its field of vision.

"This....."

Before he could say anything, together with the abandoned house in front of him, this painted-skinned monster was cut off by Chen Yiyi.

"Beautiful job, Ms. Chen, to deal with such a demon, it should be completely wiped out, lest he make a comeback."

"Is it that easy?"

"No, I'm just saying that we should fight like this. The main body of the painted skin has been transferred. It itself is a form of existence that has lost its form. It is a kind of 'ghost' with the body as the carrier. If it is to be completely eliminated, I am afraid that only those who are good at this Only warlocks can do it."

Such as Your Majesty.

Lei Wen didn't say everything. In fact, there are probably many people in the Qin Tianjian who can do it. Their thunder method has the effect of annihilating this monster, but if the painted skin wants to escape, then the only one who can catch him is probably His Majesty. and a few more.

As for Telles at the moment...

"Finally, it's finally out. I'm afraid there are no living people in the sky prison?"

"No, there are formations on several floors deeper underground, and the painted skin can't get in."

Lin Qingyan immediately refuted that Dayan's sky prison design was somewhat safe.

"Then why is there no formation in the main control room?"

"Because the formation is to keep those things underground from coming out, not to protect them."

Zuo Le's complexion is also a little bad. The contact from his father made him understand that there is no chaos in the city at this moment, and many people have turned into painted skins. This is different from potential evil diseases. This thing is irreversible!

He could even hear his father's anger during the contact, maybe he wanted to kill Liu Xiangru immediately under the supervision of Qin Tianjian.
