Chapter 420 Florence's Memory
In the empty room, the high temperature had not yet dissipated, just like a boiler that had just poured out molten iron, and all the combustibles around were still emitting sparks.
Florence's soul turned into a white dust mist and was absorbed by the sun mark on Chen Ke's chest. A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and he actually entered the memory of the soul owner after a long time.
Chen Ke saw the back of a woman.
She had long white hair, a windbreaker with complex decorative patterns, a pair of dirty leather boots, a tricorn hat on her head, and a white feather on the side.
Chen Ke reached out and put his hand on the woman's left shoulder. The woman turned back, her skin was white and unreal, and a pair of amber eyes looked at him, with a slight smile on her lips.
He looked down along the other's shoulder and saw a saber slung around her waist, inserted in a gorgeous scabbard, with a guard on the hilt.
...
A gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Ke felt slippery and wet all over his body. He leaned on the hilt with both hands, and the blade was stuck in the ground.
Chen Ke looked down and saw that he was standing next to a pile of dead monsters.
These bodies were grayish white, and the internal organs could be seen through the translucent membrane-like skin. The limbs still retained a roughly human appearance, but there were webbed feet and fingers.
The head of the body no longer had human features, the eyes were round like dead fish, and the mouth was surprisingly large.
Chen Ke looked up, and the cold wind was blowing from the right. He heard the sound of the waves, and the white waves were hitting a huge clam on the shore.
…
Chen Ke came to a castle again, holding a revolver in his left hand and his sword in his right hand.
His whole body was soaked in blood, and the sticky cold blood stuck the lining of his shirt to his skin.
He had serious injuries on his waist and abdomen, which looked like he was injured by the claws of some beast.
"Florence. Are you still okay?" A companion came from behind, and Chen Ke looked at the person who was talking. He was a hunter with white hair on his temples.
"Jackman..." Chen Ke said a name, and the voice was Florence.
…
"William's research is very important. The keeper will send Florence for personal protection."
In front of him was the old hunter called Jackman, who was talking to someone. Chen Ke leaned against the door and waited.
"With the protection of the keeper, the research should proceed safely." The man's voice was very steady.
They walked out of the mansion, and Jackman patted Chen Ke on the shoulder.
"Florence, beware of the corruption of those who seek knowledge... You must not only provide protection, but also monitor..." Jackman said.
"I know..." Chen Ke spoke, it was Florence's voice.
…
Chen Ke came back to his senses, his memory dissipated, and there was an extra soul in his hand.
[Florence's Tortured Soul]
[Effects: Increase lifespan by 10 hours, open a portal, refine Florence's suit]
[Florence, a hunter who is combined with the blood of God, became a deformed monster after being injected with the blood of God, but still could not forget the white-haired woman...]
[The Keeper Organization is a mysterious hunter group under the command of Queen Victoria of Ingram, specializing in dealing with the increasingly rampant inhuman crisis. Whenever the blood moon is low, the hunters will become active and start an endless bloody hunt.]
If I remember correctly, this is the second soul that Chen Ke has obtained that can refine weapons and equipment.
The first one was the princess of Van Hede, Faralis. At that time, he used that soul to exchange for the two-handed sword Ruthless Fury. As a result, the sword was taken away by Faralis when he entered Van Hede for the second time...
The group that Florence belongs to is a national force called the Keeper of Secrets, and it looks like a special force operating under the table.
In 1859, psychic phenomena occurred frequently. Chen Ke found a corpse of a god under the academy less than a day after arriving here. This was much more exciting than the City of Opportunities in 2009.
Florence's soul could be exchanged for a set of clothes he was wearing instead of weapons this time... Chen Ke had never seen what Florence wore when she was still a human. Since it was exchanged for her soul, it must not be too bad.
If this soul is used to increase lifespan, it would be a bit of a loss. I don't know why, such ruthless characters as Faralis and Florence only have a 10-hour limit for their souls. It's really puzzling.
In his memory, Chen Ke also saw two people who were closely related to Florence, one was a white-haired woman whose name was not revealed, and the other was an old hunter called Jackman.
Is Maria referring to that lady?
"Chen Ke, why are you disheveled every time I see you? Are you trying to seduce me?"
While Chen Ke was thinking, Xu Jing had already walked to his side.
She looked at the monster corpse at Chen Ke's feet, and then looked at his torn clothes. She knew without guessing that the battle just now was not easy.
"Why did you come in alone? Don't tell me you lost the target." Chen Ke straightened his clothes, but he was helpless with the part pierced by the monster.
"I lost it." Xu Jing said frankly.
"... If I had known earlier, we should have switched positions. It might be easier for you to deal with this monster." Chen Ke shook his head helplessly.
"We may have underestimated the complexity of this. I can't locate the target with spiritual vision, and I was also hit by an illusion. These people may have touched the extraordinary level more deeply than we thought." Xu Jing spread his hands.
"What now? Should we go back the same way?" Chen Ke put the Type 67 pistol into the holster.
"You can get to the ground from behind the stone door. That may be the retreat they designed, and there should be a carriage parked outside. But I didn't find anything after I went up." Xu Jing said.
"I just want to find a place to change clothes now." Chen Ke said.
"You are quite... strong." Xu Jing smiled and covered her mouth, secretly looking at the torn part of Chen Ke's clothes.
The two went up along the passage behind the stone door and left the underground of the college.
They went around and returned to the street opposite the main entrance of the college. They saw six black carriages parked in front of the college gate, and several people in black windbreakers were negotiating with the school.
Chen Ke saw a white-haired woman standing in the crowd at a glance. It seems that the keeper of the secret has come.
"If I remember correctly, there was no such profession as county police in 1859, right?" Chen Ke asked.
"Franchiade was the first country in the world to establish a county police system, followed by Ingram. Before that, the city's security was maintained by the Queen's Infantry Regiment. After 1860, in order to deal with the increasingly rampant civil cases, almost all parts of the world began to have their own county police departments. In the beginning, they were not equipped with guns, only whistles and short sticks." Xu Jing introduced.
"Oh..." Chen Ke nodded, and looked at the entrance of the academy again. The keeper had already entered.
"Come on, Chen Ke, let's go back to the cafe first, change you into new clothes, and then see what to do next." Xu Jing smiled.
1 million words, what about the promise of becoming a god after a million words?
