Chapter 558
This explanation made perfect sense, so Jenkins had no idea what adventures his cat and friends would go on during his fight with the Titans.
"You despicable guy! You only know how to bully the weak!"
He cursed angrily as he rode on the unicorn with his sword in hand and chased Mr. Corpse. Mr. Corpse flew very fast, almost turning into a ball of black light, but with Jenkins' encouragement, the unicorn was no slower than it.
The two finally met in the east of the city. As Jenkins approached, he swung his sword towards the target in front of him. Mr. Corpse was forced to take a hard hit, and then because of Jenkins' angry move and [Stranger]'s attachment to all creatures. Injured, he suddenly suffered more serious internal injuries.
He was forced to stop flying at high speed and gasp in the air. The unicorn also stopped in the air with a high-spirited cry.
In the black shadow, the figure of Mr. Corpse gradually became clearer. Although he still has the aura of oppression of lower races that naturally arises from his connection with the Titans, this has no effect on Jenkins at all now.
"Mr. Candle, congratulations on successfully killing the ancient titan. I think if this matter is made public, your story will be spread in the material world for many epochs. Maybe your image will appear in card games long after. "
"Mr. Corpse, I don't care what you want to say. What I want to say is that you are dead today."
"If I die, no one will help you lift the curse. It's still the curse of this city, all caused by my power. If I die, Nolan will never have peace."
Mr. Corpse said while coughing. The black water he coughed up and the rain from the sky flowed into the land below, quietly affecting the city.
Chapter 1360 Chapter 1337 The End of Mr. Corpse
"I have my own way to solve those curses, I don't need you to care."
Jenkins was caught in the rain and pointed his sword at Mr. Corpse. The raindrops falling from above touched the blade of the sword and it was split into pieces.
"Mr. Candle, we don't have any conflicts of interest..."
Mr. Corpse said while coughing.
"No, you created the curse thirteen years ago, and this time you are trying to threaten the lives of me and my friends through [story within a story]. This is our conflict of interest. Please die quietly."
He slashed with his sword, and the white sword light drew a perfect arc in the air, but it was blocked by the barrier formed by the black water.
The water splashed in all directions, and the illusory light and shadow formed an illusion within the range of the black water splashing, but it could not confuse Jenkins.
He flew around Mr. Corpse on a unicorn, and the black shadows behind him shot out one after another. Black sparks continued to explode in the sky, and Mr. Corpse at the center of the explosion barely blocked the attack. He waved his hand, and a black beam of light flew directly towards Jenkins' face, but it was easily blocked by the unicorn. Escaped.
The beam of light flew past the roof of the distant city clock tower, directly evaporating half of the lightning rod.
A black bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and struck directly at Jenkins. Jenkins swung a sword towards the sky with his backhand. With the blessing of [Titan Power], although he could not possess the Titan family's talent for controlling lightning, he could barely trap the thunder in his sword, and then threw it at Mr. Corpse.
This thunder evaporated more than half of the black water around Mr. Corpse's body used as a defense, revealing his somewhat dry cheeks and sunken eyes. He was running out of gas, and Jenkins was actually fighting a seriously injured patient.
"Once I die here, all the curses contained in my body will explode and be vented to the city below. I don't know if the Titans have told you what I am. I am actually the concept of [darkness] deep in this land. Condensation is an independent personality formed by people's fear of darkness for thousands of years. In a sense, I am also a monster, but I am the most terrifying monster. "
"I don't care what you are."
Jenkins said loudly, but in fact he was very worried because what the other person said was all the truth.
"If you really just want to kill me and ignore the city below, then go ahead and do it. Mr. Candle, I know you are a good person, so you will never make such a reckless move."
As Mr. Corpse spoke, he removed the protection from his entire body, exposing his body like a mummy. Jenkins hesitated to move while holding the sword. The curse currently hovering in the city was already very troublesome. If the curse in Mr. Corpse's body also broke out, he might really be powerless.
"Meow~"
The cat lying on Jenkins' shoulder meowed. Under the heavy rain sky, Vanilla's fur was soaked. It gently rubbed Jenkins' face, squinting its eyes and wondering what it was thinking.
Mr. Corpse immediately saw the cat on his shoulder, and the very unpleasant memories just now came to his mind immediately. He felt that the silence at the moment might make Jenkins make an irrational choice, so he said loudly:
"Mr. Candle, I know you are very powerful, and your cat is also..."
A soft popping sound interrupted Jenkins' thoughts, and then he was surprised to see a bright yellow moon faintly appearing on the horizon. But now he is indeed in the material world. Although the city below is noisy, Nolan is undoubtedly still normal.
"Is it so serious that the illusion of doomsday coincides with reality? No, I will ask the old man in the clock tower next time."
He thought of this in a flash, but he didn't know that only he and Mr. Corpse in the sky could see the scene of March across the sky.
The yellow moon and the red and blue full moon were arranged together in a triangular structure in the sky. They were so charming, so mysterious, and so desirable. Jenkins looked up at the moon while thinking, and his eyes gradually lost focus.
It took him a long time to come to his senses. He wiped the rain off his face and looked at the sky around him. Raindrops fell in strings towards the city below, but there was no trace of Mr. Corpse.
"What happened just now?"
He was a little dazed, looking up at the sky, and the moon disappeared. After all, although it was dark, it was still daytime.
"It seems that someone killed Mr. Corpse, but why didn't the curse break out... Did the mysterious man suppress the curse? Oh, what happened, and it ended like this?"
Later, he let the unicorn fall back to the ground, and searched the original place for half an hour in the heavy rain before finding the remains of Mr. Corpse on the garbage dump in the alley. He was undoubtedly dead, as if his body was pierced by thousands of sharp swords, and the black liquid stained the garbage dump and the ground.
From those wounds, Jenkins seemed to see the very vague moonlight of the yellow moon in his memory, how it killed him.
"What happened?"
The cat silently swallowed his yellow beads, indicating that he knew nothing.
But even if Titan died and Mr. Corpse died, today's matter was still not over. Looking at the pocket watch, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and he had missed lunch time without realizing it. Jenkins let the unicorn take him to the dark sky, and then took away the ornaments that Alexia used to shield him from the curse over the city.
Immediately, the four curses wandering in the city sensed the last curse on Jenkins. Four black smokes that could be observed with the naked eye flew from the four corners of the city. Because they could not pull the last curse out of Jenkins' body, they could only circle around the unicorn in the sky. To the people in the city below, it seemed as if an inexplicable low black cloud appeared in the sky, and this black cloud would give people a headache if they looked at it for a long time.
The curse and Jenkins were in a stalemate for a while, and seeing that they could not summon the last curse, they entered Jenkins' body one after another. The disgusting air mass entered the body, and Jenkins could not help but cover his chest first, and then pressed his forehead.
He tried hard not to faint, and then slapped the tail of the cat that had been rubbing the back of his head, and the latter meowed to express dissatisfaction.
The faint golden light flickered around Jenkins' body, which was his divine essence conflicting with the huge curse power. Those curses entered the flesh and affected the soul, which made the power of the soul begin to fight back instinctively. Even though Jenkins did not have any divinity now, his soul was undoubtedly a divine soul with two priesthoods.
The golden light ball exploded in the sky and even poked a big hole in the black dark cloud, causing a commotion among the people on the ground. But the light ball disappeared not long after, and after the explosion, invisible ripples swept across the sky, and the dark clouds were reduced layer by layer.
When the golden light was completely invisible to the naked eye, the sudden rainstorm was reduced to drizzle. The sun shone on the city of Nolan after the rainstorm, shining on the faces of everyone who looked up at the sky, and Jenkins in the sky had already disappeared with the corpse of Mr. Corpse.
Section 1361 Chapter 1338 The Second Gem
Too many things happened all day today. [Story in the Story] caused more accidents because it linked the abandoned hospital outside the city and Mr. Corpse in the hospital.
Jenkins never thought that he would become an opponent of the ancient Titan one day, but fortunately everything is over, but he can't rest now.
After destroying the last curse, Jenkins rode the unicorn and took his cat back to the building where [Story in the Story] was held. Sure enough, his friends hadn't left yet, and they were all waiting for him to come back.
The seriously injured magic lady looked much better, at least she could stand without Hathaway's support. Later, I heard from others that she seemed to want to start a ritual, but the first step failed, but fortunately the injury could be healed, but she just needed to rest for a while.
The others did not see any signs of injury, which made Jenkins feel relieved.
Jenkins told everyone that it was all over, and the other four told him what happened here after he left. It was just that key issues, such as how they stopped Mr. Corpse and how they protected the manipulated explorers, were not detailed.
Jenkins thought that this probably involved their secrets, and the four people might have used some taboo abilities or rituals, so he did not investigate it in detail; while others thought that Mr. Candle left the cat to protect them, and they were a little embarrassed to admit that they were really protected by the cat, so they did not mention it much, because they thought Mr. Candle knew it...
In short, although there were many accidents, the most unexpected thing was that no one's secrets were exposed because of what happened today.
Friends seemed curious about how Jenkins defeated the ancient Titan, and Jenkins knew that his "feat" today was a bit too extraordinary, so he hinted at his identity as a believer of lies, and also hinted that in the last short time, "invisible existence" killed the Titan, so the huge stone statue was left in the suburbs.
Jenkins himself thought that this statement was full of loopholes, but the other four actually believed it. He didn't know whether his lying ability had made greater progress or the four of them believed in themselves too much.
It's just that the rain in the city is still falling, and the casualties caused by the earthquake are irreversible. Even if the culprit is killed, time will not flow back, this is the cruelest reality.
Everyone was very tired this morning. Although Mr. Hood invited everyone to have lunch together, no one was in the mood. The others told Jenkins that they ended with active escape in [Story in the Story], so after each of them gained two blank bubbles and a new ability, they took the initiative to ask for compensation for Mr. Candle who sacrificed for everyone.
Jenkins shook his head and refused. The value of [Titan Power] was greater than everyone else's gains. In addition, Nolan had frequent accidents in recent months, and everyone's life was not easy. He had no reason to take things from his friends.
After a brief farewell, the five people went in different directions. Jenkins first returned to Loon and told Alexia, who was anxiously waiting for the news, that he was safe. After a while of being intimate with the short lady, he returned to Nolan in the rain with the cat.
He walked directly on the wet street without an umbrella. While feeling the cold rain, he looked at Nolan after the disaster. He was in a bad mood. Although today's events could not be said to be entirely caused by himself, it was because he reported Mr. Corpse's gathering.
He knew very well that this was right and good for the long-term future of the city, but seeing the crying and wailing everywhere, it was inevitable that complex emotions surged in his heart.
He walked from the east of the city to the vicinity of Dad's antique shop in the west of the city before he sorted out his mood and blamed himself for being too hypocritical. His mood had recovered. After praising himself for his decisiveness, he wanted to see his father from a distance, but found that he was not in the store.
"Maybe he went to church."
He guessed, and came to the eaves to take shelter from the rain, and then read out the umbrella to prepare to go out on the street again. Standing under the eaves and looking at the city with emotion, he understood that this disaster might be tragic, but after the disaster, there will be recovery, and everything will be fine.
One of the ability bubbles was filled with ambiguous chaotic colors. Jenkins called out the "Poem of Disaster" in it, and then found that two of the five depressions were filled with white warm gems.
The first one came from the Loen riots the night before, and the second one naturally came from what happened today.
He sighed for a long time, looked at the street view for a while, and then walked towards Michael's house.
Marquis Michael is one of the most powerful nobles in Nolan, and his mansion is like a small manor in the city. Jenkins sat in a nearby cafe for half an hour, waiting for Hathaway to enter and then come out, and then quietly followed the carriage, and then successfully boarded the carriage through the message transmitted by Chocolate.
"Oh, Jenkins, it's so good to see you now, you can't imagine what happened this morning. Are you okay? Oh, Chocolate is okay too, I'm so happy... Why are you here?"
As soon as he got on the car, the red-haired lady gave Jenkins a warm hug, saying this quickly, and then kissed Jenkins, and the two did not let go for a long time.
She has been worried about Jenkins and his cat. After all, the writer is cursed, and Chocolate was pulled to the sky by Vanilla to block the thunder. If it weren't for Jenkins not being in Nolan, she would have wanted to visit Jenkins first and then visit Britney.
"Why do you think there's something wrong between me and Chocolate?"
Jenkins hugged the red-haired girl and comforted her softly, then he talked about the reason why he came here:
"I had a terrible nightmare during my nap. My dreams are usually unusual, so I was worried that something might happen to you and Britney, so I came to see. What happened? Why are there so many people on the street? I noticed that the tallest tower near St. George Street collapsed halfway."
This was the excuse Jenkins found.
Hathaway did not doubt Jenkins's statement. She was still in a state of fear until now. So she explained exactly what happened in the morning. Of course, she didn't mention the matter of being protected by the cat. She knew that Jenkins must know Mr. Candle and probably understood the horror of the white cat Vanilla. So since such a shameful thing was not the point, there was no need to mention it repeatedly; and that was also Mr. Candle's privacy. If Jenkins didn't know, there was no need to leak the secret of the savior, which was an immoral act.
Chapter 1362 Chapter 1339 Another Confession
"Why would you rashly participate in such an event? Not to mention whether your friends are reliable, the B-type supernatural events themselves have unpredictable risks. I remember you told me in person that you have always believed that the difference between B-type supernatural and A-type weird things is not much, just the side effects are a little smaller. This time, why are you so careless?"
After listening to Hathaway's "story," Jenkins tried to sound as harsh as possible to distance himself from the matter. In fact, he really wanted to hug his beloved girl and comfort her, but he couldn't let Hathaway know that he was a "believer of lies" yet. There was no need for Hathaway to be afraid for him.
Hathaway was not angry because of Jenkins' accusation. She lowered her head and said nothing for a while. Only then did Jenkins realize that she was actually crying. So he immediately hugged the girl and whispered words of comfort and love, which made the squatting cat curl his lips uncontrollably.
Hathaway just went to visit Britney who was grounded at home. Although all four explorers in the story escaped safely, she was still worried that the game would cause harm to Britney.
Fortunately, the rules in the rule book are real, and Mr. Corpse didn't play tricks on them. Bryony was at home the entire time, with no memories of adventures or any strange feelings. So Hathaway's concern became Jenkins. She still remembered that when the writer left the scene, there was a curse on him.
"There's nothing wrong with me except that nightmare. Hathaway, just don't worry. Don't worry about me."
he said.
"You are all fine. If time could go back, I would never touch [the story within the story] again."
The red-haired girl leaned on Jenkins' shoulder, then noticed the cat looking at her. This look seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where she saw it.
"Jenkins..."
She said softly, holding Jenkins' right hand with her left hand.
"Do you have time before dinner?"
Hathaway asked softly.
"Have time."
Jenkins replied.
Hathaway nodded slightly and drew circles in Jenkins' palm with her fingers:
"Well, why don't you come over to my place and take a look - I'll show you something interesting."
(Chocolate Run...)
The evening in Loen was very peaceful, and people who had been working hard all day finally finished their work. Even though the city has suffered two major riots within half a month, it still cannot prevent people from returning home in a happy mood.
In the living room on the second floor of the manor on the outskirts of the city, Jenkins' figure gradually solidified. The cat, who was standing on the balcony railing watching the sunset, immediately ran over.
Jenkins left him at Runn in the afternoon, and the cat has been waiting for Jenkins to come back.
"It's just about time for dinner. Dolores said they got some scallops from the kitchen. You might like them, and so will your cat."
Alexia entered the living room from the corridor at this time. Seeing that Jenkins' face looked strange, she twitched her nose and sniffed, then tilted her head and thought for a while:
"It was a nice afternoon, wasn't it?"
the short lady teased.
"Um......"
Jenkins didn't know how to speak, not to stand still and walk, not to not walk.
Alexia smiled, hugged the book and exited the living room, seemingly heading towards the study. Jenkins thought she was angry, and it was definitely not an illusion.
"Want to hear my story? You had a great day."
He hurriedly caught up and said.
"I'm not curious about your behavior in bed."
