Chapter 565

"This is an ancient ritual, often used for sealing or imprisonment. It is said that the most primitive version is a strange hexahedral seal... In short, this ritual is carried out according to the strange 'law of accident', using simple sentences To describe it, the things used to light candles are usually items, emotions and even abilities that you often have but often don’t notice.”

The woman explained, stepping back to motion for the others to step forward. The old tombkeeper fully understood her words, so he stepped forward and bent down to grab a handful of dust, put it on his fingertips and blew it gently. The dust dispersed into the air and floated, and then came into contact with a candle, and the black fire immediately jumped. stand up:

"The dust of decay indicates the future."

The gravekeeper spoke softly, even though the ritual required no words.

"Then let me do the next one, I think it should be easy."

Believers of the righteous god [Lightless Moon], the night watchman said, doing nothing but stretching out his two hands to gently hold an unlit candle:

"The sourceless light guides all living beings."

What lights up this time is a silver brilliance. This silver firelight is very beautiful and elegant.

The night watchman retreated. Mr. White Cat walked to the inverted pentagram, coughed and took out some scraps of paper from his pocket. It can be seen that these scraps of paper must have stayed in his pocket for a long time, and he did not even take them out when he was starching the clothes, otherwise the scraps of paper would be mixed with the scraps of fabric on the inside of the pocket:

"Memories of the past are blocked and dirty."

The dim gray light lit up, and Mr. White Cat let out a sigh of relief and looked at Jenkins, signaling that it was his turn. Now that there are only two minutes left before the ten-minute deadline, he needs to go faster.

“Things I have all the time but rarely notice…”

His brain was running rapidly, and he quickly paid attention, so he said to the candle:

“I am an honest man…The fire of honesty is the essence of civilization.”

If this sentence is a lie, it means that he is usually dishonest, but he usually thinks that he is honest, so in fact, what he often has but does not notice is "lie", which fits his own lie priesthood;

If this sentence is true, then it means that he is usually very honest, but he is considered the god of lies. His most powerful power is lies. This honesty means that he has deceived himself but in fact he has not deceived him. , which also fits the priesthood of lies and also complies with "having but not noticing".

This logic is indeed feasible. The golden flame jumps and merges with the black, gray, orange and silver light. The lines forming the inverted pentagram on the floor are filled with the color of the flame. When the inverted pentagram lights up, When the sun rises, the frightening red light group rises from directly below the five-pointed star. It can be vaguely felt that this light group is the only source of light that illuminates the world, and a silver key is in this light group. in the middle.

"This is it!"

Jenkins said in surprise, reaching out to touch the light ball but subconsciously retracted his hand.

"Wait, something's wrong."

Something was indeed wrong, because at the same time as Jenkins stretched out his hand, another rotten human hand stretched out from the ceiling of the corridor, inserted into the red light ball and took out the key.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the ceiling. The ghoul swallowed the key against the ceiling and looked at everyone with bulging eyes like fish eyes.

"Thanks to your guidance, I was able to find the ultimate 'grand prize' in this strange situation and obtain the only key to lead the tribe through the Silver Key Gate."

It smiled and retreated towards the iron door without a keyhole. At this time, the door had disappeared, revealing the endless white light behind it.

"Human beings, there is no possibility of failure in this plan from the beginning. If the believers of the True God cannot find the deception, we will transport more and more people to the material world through the deception; if you find it like you do now Then I can get the long-lost C-03-0921 [Silver Key] and use this key to truly open the Silver Key door. This door is one of the few that truly connects the material world. The gate is the legal passage for the few to the material world..."

"Don't even think about leaving!"

The gravekeeper and the night watcher simultaneously reached out to grab the laughing ghoul, but its body was as untouchable as a shadow.

Mr. White Cat raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of shining smoke, and then pulled the shadowed ghoul down from the sky. The woman next to her pulled up the ghoul's front paws and performed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw. The posture looked like the military fighting skills of the Chesland Kingdom.

"Now I remember where I saw her. On that train, it turns out she didn't die because of Mr. Prankster's ticket..."

Jenkins thought to himself, then breathed a mouthful of fire at the ghoul, who screamed but was uninjured in the fire of grace. It grabbed Jenkins' arm, and the nails of its front paws dug deeply into Jenkins' flesh, and the poison immediately entered his body.

"You go first, we will be here in ten minutes. I will take care of everything."

Jenkins said to his companions, so Mr. White Cat, who quite trusted him, and Miss Spy, who quite distrusted him, immediately jumped into the light door, but the two grantors from the Zhengshen Church did not leave.

"Let's go quickly. If it really drags on until the next cycle starts, all this will be in vain. There may be more alien species entering the city in the next wave."

Jenkins said to the two people while chatting with the ghoul.

"But if you fail, and the ghoul takes the key and leaves, the disaster will be worse than the fifth cycle of the strange world. We will not leave. Time is short. Let's start the battle."

Chapter 1381 Chapter 1358 Rescue Success

The young night watchman firmly rejected Jenkins' request to let them leave, and stretched out his hand to help clamp the ghoul. It should be a special one among the race. The color of its skin is darker than that of ordinary ghouls, and its strength is particularly great. That is, Jenkins has the [Power of Titan] to fix it.

"I have a way to leave at any time. I was ready before entering the strange world!"

Jenkins emphasized again. Now there are only more than fifty seconds left in the ten minutes.

"But..."

"Let's go."

The gravekeeper interrupted the young night watchman and took his hand to the light door:

"Haven't you figured it out yet? Mr. Candle is a believer of the God of Lies. They know how to deal with all kinds of disasters. I even suspect that he is not the Mr. Candle that Mr. White Cat knew at the beginning. That group of people are really good at disguise. God knows who he is..."

As the two talked, their figures disappeared into the white light door at the exit.

Jenkins breathed a sigh of relief, and then he had time to look at his opponent. The ghoul was a gift of alien species, with a level of seven, but the strength he showed was probably not even level 4.

Jenkins thought this was a punishment for entering the strange realm illegally. None of the five of them had seen the ghoul at the beginning, so the opponent's entry method was definitely abnormal.

"Swallowed the key, right?"

Jenkins asked at a very fast speed, standing on the ground and feeling the power transmitted by the earth.

"Are you a believer of lies?"

The ghoul asked, with a heavy accent that Jenkins almost didn't understand, but it obviously understood what the two church benefactors had just said.

"Guess~"

Jenkins said as he punched the other's stomach. Even though the ghoul's body had a much higher tolerance for pain than normal creatures, this heavy blow almost made it vomit the meal it had in the cemetery that morning.

"Why are you here? This is impossible. The divination clearly said that the believers of lies were not in Nolan City all day today."

The ghoul said as he turned around and rushed towards the light gate behind the two people, but was immediately stopped by Jenkins.

"It seems that your divination is also very professional, but have you noticed that it is already two o'clock in the morning? I think the 'today' you divined should only refer to yesterday, right?"

He drew out his holy bone sword and cut off the other's neck with a sharp sword. Even for undead creatures, this is an absolute fatal injury, but the round head with sparse hair rolled to the ground, and at the end, it issued a threat like "I will curse you..."

Jenkins ignored it, endured the nausea and used the sword to cut open the opponent's stomach, trying to find the key along the esophagus and rotten stomach, but it was too late.

"Forget it, forget it, anyway, I have stopped this strange place, it doesn't matter whether there is this last "little gift" or not."

Thinking in his heart, he gave up the C-03-0921 [Silver Key], split the head of the ghoul with a backhand sword, and then jumped into the light gate.

Fluorescent green brains flowed out of the broken head, forming a sharp contrast with the strange scenery of red light all over the corridor.

Not long after, the old devil came over with the hourglass that had all the sand flowing to the bottom, took a look at the corpse on the ground, then took out the key from the intestines of the corpse, laughed and threw it into the light gate.

Then it turned the funnel in its hand again, and the whole building became transparent, and the surroundings gradually turned into a red field. With a loud laugh, the demon took a step back, and walked backwards, moving upwards little by little to the deepest part of the dark red sky.

(Chocolate running...)

The night wind blowing through Nolan Alley sobered up Jenkins, who had just escaped from the strange world. He held the wall and tried to stand up, and then felt that he had pressed something disgusting on the wall.

He quickly drew a piece of paper to wipe his hands, and then washed his hands with water, and then found that Mr. White Cat was waiting for him not far away.

According to the rules of the strange world, under normal circumstances, the position from leaving the strange world to returning to the real world is an absolutely safe position, so Jenkins was only next to Mr. White Cat, but the other three people were gone.

"Mr. Candle, I knew you could do it."

Mr. White Cat said excitedly after the two met up, and Jenkins nodded at him from the shadows:

"Tonight's matter should be resolved. If there is no next wave of alien species from another world, then we have successfully prevented a new round of disasters facing Nolan. Now follow me, Mr. Hood is still waiting for us."

The city's martial law has not been lifted, so it is not easy to get to Mr. Hood's house from the current location. Fortunately, both of them are gifted with rich experience in night travel, so this kind of thing is not difficult for them.

Jenkins quietly checked the items on his body and his unformed abilities on the road, and then found that in addition to the white bead that seemed to be hiding in the mist, there was also the C-03-0921 [Silver Key] in his pocket, but There are still two white gems on "Chapter of Disaster", and there are no more gems due to tonight's actions.

As a result, he began to have doubts. He didn't know whether his guess about this ability was wrong, or whether tonight's matter had not been completely resolved.

It was already four o'clock, and the lights were still on in Mr. Hood's house. Someone answered the door immediately after knocking on the door. Sure enough, he was still waiting for the two of them to come back.

Seeing that Mr. White Cat was safe and sound, Mr. Hood gave him a warm hug. He even wanted to hug Jenkins, but Jenkins, considering that the other man was still hanging his arm with a bandage, refused for the sake of his recovery.

"It's good that you are all right. To be honest, I have been really worried for a while. I thought that if you don't come back, I will go to Mr. Magic for help. I know her, ahem, where does he live...come back Just come back. Did you encounter anything on the way? Also, Mr. Candle, did you find Mr. White Cat in the strange place? "

None of the three were sleepy, so they lit the gas lamp in the living room and prepared hot tea. Jenkins and Mr. White Cat briefly talked about what had just happened. He also took out the boat ticket and gave it back to Mr. Hood. Mr. Hood didn't want it at first, but he couldn't stand Jenkins' insistence and accepted it anyway.

But Mr. White Cat gave Jenkins another gift, and Jenkins was running around tonight to rescue him, so this gift should not come from Mr. Hood.

Chapter 1382 Chapter 1359 Guao Principality

"That gift was actually given to me by Mr. Black Cat. Before he left Nolan before winter, I helped him deal with a big/trouble... It was a book that recorded a very interesting ability. In the book, the method of solving the puzzle is to add and decode the letters according to the meaning of the moon phases of the full blue moon and the half-wanted red moon. I think Mr. Candle, you should understand this decoding method. That book is not in my hands now. Mr. Black Cat said that he lent the book to a former friend, but you can definitely get it out with the borrowing slip. You should also know that friend. His name is Mr. Shirakaki. I will send the borrowing slip when I get back. Give the black market your fake address and just go get it.”

This is Mr. White Cat's thanks to Jenkins for running tonight. This gift can also be regarded as an unexpected surprise tonight. Jenkins's focus is on what happened tonight and how he got to this point.

In fact, Mr. Hood and Mr. White Cat are not responsible for this. They just appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unfortunately, they were affected by the ritual that forcibly connected the treacherous realm, which made one person... One person was seriously injured and missing.

"The courage of those alien species is a bit too great. They actually dare to open the door to the outside world in a human city in the material world. Why do they have such confidence?"

Jenkins asked.

"Probably because of the current situation in Nolan, most of the benefactors in the material world have heard of the 'big name' of Nolan City to some extent, and they all know that this city is full of 'miracles'. Just like the ancient titan who wanted to use the miracle at the end of the era to break free from the seal of the gods, it is not surprising that someone wants to use this miracle to open a door. "

"Is there anyone?"

Jenkins wondered, Mr. Hood was using a personal pronoun specifically designed to refer to humans.

"Yes, the appearance of those alien species is very different from that of humans. Without the help of humans, those evil guys would not be able to accomplish what they are doing today. Miss Bailing told me some time ago that she had seen it in a camp that caught fire outside the city. Ghouls, I suspect that they have internal agents among humans. Tonight, when Mr. White Cat and I were ambushing near the bank construction site to prepare for a sneak attack, we saw three people coming to confirm whether there was an ambush nearby. They were undoubtedly related to alien species. The ones we cooperate with.”

"Do you know the identities of those three people?"

Jenkins asked immediately, suspecting that the people in the tree house were secretly plotting again. But that's not right. According to the information obtained from the interrogation of the person who planned the robbery of the slate, Tree House's personnel in Nolan should have been withdrawn.

"I know one of these people. I once met him at a cocktail party..."

Mr. White Cat said, then hesitated for a few seconds before continuing:

"That seems to be the escort of the Guao Principality's ambassador to Nolan...if I admit my mistake correctly."

With the progress of human civilization, some old systems are gradually changing. After the collapse of the ancient Hikari Empire, the main human countries in the material world are the three major kingdoms today. There are also a large number of small countries overseas and in the gaps between the three kingdoms.

Some of them remain completely independent and call themselves kingdoms, but their status cannot be compared with those of the three major kingdoms; others have sworn allegiance to the three major kingdoms, such as the Stuart royal family of Loon, the Middleton royal family of Belduran and the capital. The royal family of Aresio granted the administrators of the country the title of nobility of the country and admitted those small countries as principalities of the kingdom.

In modern times, most of these principalities have been merged into the three kingdoms and become a county or a large city, but a few still maintain their status as principalities.

Regardless of whether they are small kingdoms or principalities, although they inevitably serve as buffers and pawns in the territorial disputes between the three kingdoms, they also have a certain degree of autonomy. Today, the regions that maintain the title of principality are almost as independent as small kingdoms in name. Therefore, they will send envoys to important cities in the country, such as Nolan, although they cannot have the status of a royal capital. There are official embassies and consulates, but there are also ambassadors stationed there all year round. This group of people is usually the most active group of people in the social life of the city's aristocrats.

"Guao Principality?"

Mr. Hood's geography is obviously not very good, and he couldn't figure out which corner of the country this is after thinking for a long time.

"Is it the country where the cruise ship capsized off the coast of Nolan five years ago and the Duke's son died?"

Jenkins thought for a while and asked. This incident was very deep in the memory of the original owner, because at that time, Robert Willamt, who was still opening a small shop in the dock area, received a piece of fish washed ashore from the sea that was picked up by a sailor. A ring.

Because the ring came from an illegitimate source, Robert bought it at a very low price and then sold it at a high price. Part of the money that Robert later invested in the sea minerals and failed came from the ring that could serve as a private seal.

"That's it. There seemed to be some diplomatic conflicts at that time, but the newspapers did not report the follow-up situation... In short, it is that country. It is normal that Mr. Hood has not heard of it. The entire population of that country combined , which is not as large as the total population of Nolan.”

Mr. White Cat said.

This comparison is actually unfair. After all, even if compared to the entire world, the Nolan region is one of the most densely populated areas.

"This is very valuable information, so what does the Gu'ao Principality want to do this time? I really can't figure it out..."

Mr. Hood thought deeply, and then saw Mr. Candle, who was sitting opposite him drinking tea, put down his cup:

"Since you can't figure it out, why not just ask Mr. Ambassador what he wants to do."

Jenkins said seriously.

"Isn't it necessary? It will be dawn soon. Report this matter to the church or the city hall. It is impossible for the ambassador and his family to escape capture. Do we need to take this risk?"

Mr. White Cat asked hesitantly.

"Of course it is necessary. This matter should not be over yet. It is difficult to say whether they have a second plan after failing once. If we report this matter to the church, then the current comprehensive blockade will be broken easily. It will take some time for the church to confirm the accuracy of the information source. On the contrary, if we act on our own, we can see the ambassador in about ten minutes."

Jenkins said.

His words undoubtedly convinced the two of them, but the problem now is that no one knows where the ambassador of the Guao Principality lives. Although Mr. White Cat had met Mr. Corey Wilson and his guards, it was just a drinking party.
