Chapter 503 Horror

781

Forsi put the brown paper bag containing the manuscript into the exclusive mailbox outside the editorial department.

She exhaled and rubbed her hands. It was dark and cold now, and she felt a little hungry.

Although the original plan was for her to discuss the plot of her story and the subsequent submissions with her editor. But Forsi just wants to go back as soon as possible, return to her warm living room with a fireplace, put on her favorite thin woolen blanket, take a nap on the sofa, drink a cup of hot coffee... Well, Xio should do the same now After finishing my work and going home, I might bring her her favorite sandwich along the way. Forsi thought in a relaxed mood.

Within this month, the serial manuscript she is working on will be completed. The next step is to accept the commission from "The World" Gehrman Sparrow to write some short stories for this "Sea Hunter" - considering that she may have to entrust him to the other party. To hunt the "Secret Saint", Forsi needed money.

However, the situation was tense during this period, and the control over print media was slightly tightened. Article review has become even more difficult. Except for serialization, my other short story submissions are still being reviewed... If they cannot be published, there will be no royalties, and if there are no royalties, there will be no motivation. Coupled with the cold weather and not wanting to go out, Forsi even wanted to stop writing temporarily and take Xio for a trip outside.

Gradually there were some pedestrians on the road, mostly young people after school.

Seeing that the surroundings were a little lively, Forsi was going to buy a newspaper from a nearby bookstore and then wait for the tram to pass by.

As soon as she left, Forsi went straight to the nearest bookstall and newsstand. But on the road, among the crowds of people passing by, she seemed to see a familiar figure quickly passing by the corner and trotting into an alley out of the corner of her eye.

"That's...Hugh?"

Forsi looked over there curiously. If she wanted to find someone as petite as before among the people she was familiar with, the only one was Xio.

What is Xio doing? Is it another bounty hunter mission?

Oh, by the way, Xio seems to have become an informant for Loen's official MI9 service, and is no longer a bounty hunter. She also said that she had received help from her father's friends, and there seemed to be hope of becoming a full-time employee... However, there seemed to be some chaos in MI9 before. I heard that many official extraordinary people had gone crazy. It was so dark in the alley, how could it be? Is there any mission to deal with the out-of-control Extraordinary?

Curiosity combined with worry, Forsi hesitated for two seconds, relying on the ability of "teleportation" to easily and covertly approach the direction where Xio disappeared. She did not enter the spirit world, but passed through walls and houses in a translucent state, and soon caught up with the other party.

"It's indeed Hugh."

The man wearing a mask standing opposite Xio must be what she called "her father's friend".

After finding an angle that could bring both sides' faces into view, Forsi didn't get any closer. This distance was already within the hearing and vision limits of extraordinary people, and it was even further away. But as a "magic master", she also learned lip reading in her spare time.

So, Forsi first saw the man wearing a golden mask standing in the shadow opposite Xio and said:

"... How are the preparations... going?... His Majesty the Emperor... ordered *****... the Church of Thunder..."

After Forsi finished distinguishing some words in this sentence, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

emperor? Now there is no real emperor in Loen, only Pope Gad II who is temporarily acting as emperor! Is MI9 now taking orders from Gad II and the Church of Thunder? What are they talking about?

The writer's keenness gave Forsi some bad premonitions. She wanted to turn around and leave as quietly as when she came, but her friend who accompanied her day and night was opposite this "wrong" MI9 member. , Forsi had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay here.

She didn't have any sealed items on her at the moment.

Immediately afterwards, Xio spoke:

"Yes...will it be successful soon...?"

"Not dead...the God of Thunder...imprisoned...He will return..."

Forsi sweated. She suspected that the MI9 member in front of Xio was planning something very dangerous, but she couldn't understand why Xio would communicate or even cooperate with him!

And...who are they talking about? Emperor, Emperor, is it George III who suddenly died violently during a speech?

Didn’t He already die during the ceremony of becoming a god? Why do they say He is alive? What exactly do they want to do?

Looking at the pious and serious expression on Xio's face, Forsi felt as if his scalp was going to explode: Xio seemed to have become a stranger in an instant. It was obvious that she had always hated George III because of the death of her father Mason Dill. There is a secret! Moreover, they had previously captured and interrogated Viscount Stratford, and confirmed that it was George III who wanted to become a god, and Mason Dill was murdered when he tried to report this to the church!

Forsi suddenly felt chilled all over. She didn't dare to listen anymore, and she didn't dare to look at her companion's face to read their conversation.

A terrifying guess suddenly appeared in her mind.

Then, she retreated silently and disappeared into the alley in an instant.

As soon as she left through the spirit world, the man wearing the golden mask immediately turned his head. After searching to no avail, he said to Xio:

"Don't forget what you told me."

"Take time out this weekend to join our prayer rally. His Majesty the Emperor needs us, and the nobles will come. In this regard, we have the same position as the nobles... We want to bring down the empire that is now being dragged down by the Church of the God of Thunder. To save us, we can only rely on the emperor!"

Xio also nodded and said in a normal tone:

"I know, I'll go."

In this way, they exchanged their loyalty to Emperor George III, as if they had completely forgotten that Mason Dill existed.

…

boom!

Richard once again got rid of the dream that invaded his mind, but the soft humming of the woman still continued to echo in his ears, as if it would never stop.

"Goddess of the Night..."

He shook his head vigorously, with a rather irritable expression on his face:

"A wolf, a spider, or a dog?... I really don't understand why humans don't even sacrifice themselves, but they always rely on things that are not even human beings to protect themselves, and they still willingly sacrifice themselves to Him. We are slaves."

Before he finished speaking, as expected, there were several more scoldings.

Perhaps realizing that his voice was a bit unpleasant, Richard casually stretched out his hand and reconnected the nearly severed neck wound with a few steel needles. A power higher than one's own hinders the recovery of the wound and causes constant pain and dizziness. In order to prevent his head from suddenly falling off while fighting, he had to fix it like this first. But there was nothing that could be done about the internally severed throat and vocal cords. While enduring the suffocation and pain, He cursed in a low voice with a leaky voice.

Although my spirituality has not yet reached the bottom, it is time to fight hard again.

"...I originally wanted to ask you something, but now I don't want to ask you."

Richard whispered to himself:

"The people who persuaded me to surrender said that I could be allowed to become a noble in the Northern Continent, and they also made a bunch of empty promises to appease the people... But anyway, there are enough humans, and you don't lack these tens of millions of anchors, no. We are short of slaves."

After sighing, Richard's body suddenly became distorted, and he suddenly became a hundred meters tall. With the blood stains on his body, his fully unfolded mythical creature form looked like a bloody creature that had just come out of a murder scene. Ragdoll.

Then, the giant rag doll smiled sternly, revealing three rows of sharp shark-like teeth.

Just when the two angels fell into temporary confusion due to the sudden burst of "desire", the rag doll reached out and grabbed Gad II's body. The spiritual energy in his body all quieted down the moment he was grasped by the giant palm of the rag doll, as if it had fallen into an indestructible seal.

The pope suddenly woke up, roared and let countless thunder pour out, and the silver-white electric light illuminated the entire space. But Richard turned a blind eye, turning a blind eye even as the thunder split His arms and body black. The song in Richard's mind suddenly became fierce, and the sickle-like moon in the distance rose again, fiercely striking down the arm that was holding Gad II!

But the rag doll still maintained that charming smile. He grabbed Gad II's body with one hand, and pinched his head with two short fingers on the other hand, twisting it gently.

Click.

Uh-huh!

The sword light reached Richard in an instant and cut off his hands.

And he also lowered his head, biting his own hands and the head of Gad II who was separated but still alive in his hands. He held it with his teeth, then raised his head and swallowed it all.

Click! Click!

It was like a rolling mill weighing hundreds of kilograms crashing down. The sharp teeth repeatedly interlaced and opened and closed, as if a short cry was interrupted, and the flesh and blood were ground into pulp by the god's teeth in an instant.

For a moment, the entire spiritual world became quite quiet, leaving only the sound of chewing for a few seconds.

And the hands that were eaten by Him slowly grew back.

"well."

The rag doll let out an excited sigh, and the human-sized eyes behind the lenses slowly turned to the Pope of the Night:

"I've known for a long time that human flesh doesn't taste good...but you'll be next!"

…

Audrey's eyes had turned completely golden, but this did not allow her to see through the darkness around her.

She felt as if she was not in the spirit world, but at night outside Backlund, with the sky dark and the cold wind blowing. There are no street lights, and the darkness with visibility of less than two meters always brings extreme fear to people. It seems that there are countless monsters hiding around them.

Probably because she is just a doll now, her soul is locked by the seal on the doll, and she can resist Archbishop St. Anthony's "Dream Song" to a certain extent.

But Tawfik was not so lucky. He was almost half asleep, his eyes switching back and forth between confusion and anger.

A demigod must be treated more carefully than a Sequence 5.

The next second, Audrey suddenly felt a creepy feeling, like being watched by an oncoming beast at night in the suburbs!

Even though she sensed something, she couldn't react at all and had to lower her head hastily. A huge beast seemed to appear in the darkness behind him, like a wolf or a tall human being - it was clearly in human form, but it was more than ten meters tall, with two pairs of arms growing out of its ribs and waist. , the body was wrapped in rich darkness, but it was clearly displayed in Audrey's mind.

Almost instantly, Audrey felt great fear welling up in her heart.

As the figure that looked like a monster from myths and legends appeared, Audrey's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She seemed to have relived the despair and fear she felt not long ago when she faced divine punishment, or even experienced divine punishment herself. She wanted to kneel on the ground, wanted to squat down with her head in her hands, which came from the education she had received since childhood and the instinctive fear of gods. Rise up and almost tear her soul to pieces!

"Mother……"

Her hands were shaking and she murmured unconsciously.

As a "psychiatrist", her emotions almost collapsed instantly. Audrey felt as if her spirit was divided into two. One was crying uncontrollably, like a little girl who was afraid in the dark and wanted to return to her family. Next to her, the other one was urging her to stand up quickly, stand up quickly - she had already experienced this fear once before, and she was able to stand up just now, so why not now? !

Audrey didn't know how much time had passed, it was probably five seconds, maybe five minutes.

She slowly lowered her hands holding her head and regained her balance on her weak legs. Audrey was a little lucky that there were no tears in the doll's body, otherwise she would have been crying with tears all over her face, which was very ugly.

"Mr. Tawfik..." she said hoarsely, and then shouted loudly, "Mr. Tawfik!"

The voice was swallowed by darkness, and no one answered.

Then, Audrey heard a sound coming from her side and in front of her. She approached there without thinking, and was horrified to find that Tawfiq, who was wearing a black robe, was lying there with a big hole in his chest and his heart was no longer there. Fly with wings.

Audrey's heart seemed to beat for a moment, and her brain suddenly became confused.

But the next moment, her shoulder was pushed hard, and the familiar roar came from behind her, cursing: "Stop dreaming!"

Audrey was shocked. When she looked at it again, she found that the corpse in front of her had been swallowed up by the darkness, and the person standing there was replaced by another person - a priest wearing black long-distance running clothes from the Church of the Night, with a kind face. middle-aged and elderly men.

Tawfik grabbed Audrey's shoulder with some strength, as if trying to catch her behind. But Audrey was surprised to find that the other party didn't pull her - he was injured! Audrey realized it immediately, and her injuries were unclear! Just now when I was shocked by fear, they had already engaged in a confrontation, and it was a one-sided battle!

With a slight smile on his face, Anthony first looked at Tawfik, and then his eyes fell on Audrey.

Audrey saw his eyebrows wrinkle slightly, as if he was thinking about what this thing was. Her heart suddenly jumped, and she was worried that Archbishop St. Anthony, who was proficient in spiritual communication, would see her soul and recognize that she was Audrey Hall.

Audrey immediately entered the "Letty Orr" state. In order not to be recognized, no matter how much she suffered in her heart, she had to show a vigilant and hostile attitude to prevent the clues from being discovered.

"The lackey of the Northern Continent..." Taufik gritted his teeth and made a bone-chilling sound.

Facing Saint Anthony, he didn't have to worry about his hatred and anger, not to mention that the other party's attitude and eyes were so hateful.

But the Requiem, Hypnosis and Dreams of the Church of the Night really made him feel troublesome. He was always forced to quiet down, and then faced a fatal attack from the opponent. It was as if all his anger and strength were thrown on cotton, with no effect at all.

Just when he was about to attack, Audrey suddenly stopped in front of him and asked loudly:

"Why did you attack the Southern Continent?"

"I know you, you are the Archbishop of the Church of the Night in the Northern Continent and the head of the Backlund Diocese, Anthony Stevenson!"

"You are a tolerant and good man in Backlund, a bishop with impeccable moral character. Didn't you see our children crying and our city being destroyed when you attacked us?"

Anthony looked calmly at the young woman who questioned him, and the smile on his face did not change:

"I saw."

"So, I will attack you directly."

"Highland does not threaten you!" Letty Orr asked, "Why do you do this?"

"I don't need to answer your question, dear doctor." Archbishop Anthony's mood did not fluctuate much, fully demonstrating what it means to be as warm as the spring breeze to the children of his own country, and as ruthless as the cold wind to people in foreign countries, "This It is also to save my country, our people, and our children. Since there are irreconcilable conflicts, we can only use our strength to differentiate."
