Chapter 266 Lifelong Friendship (2600 Words)
Without hesitation, Eros immediately walked out of the alley.
When he reached the street outside, he stopped a horse-drawn carriage and took it back to his house in Haidaram.
After returning home, looking at the two corpses placed in the backyard, Eros bent down and tore off the shirts on the corpses.
"It's really the Scarlet Cult!"
Looking at the strange blood-red pattern on the other's chest, Eros looked cold.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Florica asked with some confusion.
Eros withdrew his eyes from the two corpses and said calmly:
"I just got the news from the Night Watch that the cultists of the Scarlet Cult have been snatching children in recent days."
"Why are you here to snatch children?" Florica showed a hint of confusion on her face.
Then she turned her head and looked at Angelica beside her as if she understood something.
Isabella was also stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the two cultists who suddenly broke into the house before were actually trying to steal her daughter.
Seeing the performance of the two women, Eros nodded and confirmed their inner guess.
"They must have accidentally seen Tracy somewhere, so they deliberately broke into the house."
"Why did they capture so many children?" Mrs. Florica frowned and asked.
Eros shook his head: "I don't know yet, but I guess they might be holding a sacrificial ceremony."
"What should we do next? Should we move?" Mrs. Florica said hesitantly.
Eros said calmly: "No need, this is just an accident."
"But in order to avoid the Scarlet Cult from breaking in again, you and Evelyn should try to stay at home during the next period of time."
Although the probability of them coming again is very small, it is always right to be cautious.
And with Isabella, a Sequence 6, there is no problem in self-protection. At worst, she can hold on until she can get back.
After all, the Scarlet Cult couldn't possibly send out a Sequence 5 just to snatch some children.
In most cult organizations, Sequence 5 is already a small mid-level leader. How could they be asked to do such a physical job as snatching children?
It must be the Sequence 9s under his command. At most, they would send out a few Sequence 8s.
And if a Sequence 9 or 8 faced Isabella, who was a Sequence 6, wouldn't that just be sending their heads off?
So Eros wasn't worried that Isabella wouldn't be able to protect her daughter.
After arranging things, Eros glanced at the two bodies lying on the ground.
The next second, a cluster of green flames began to burn from the chest of the corpse, and then gradually covered the entire body.
After a while, there was only a bright red heart and a piece of pink intestine left on the spot.
These were the pollutants precipitated from the two bodies. Eros bent down to pick them up and handed them to Isabella on the side.
Although they were only Sequence 9 pollutants, a mosquito leg was still meat no matter how small it was.
After Isabella stored the two pollutants, Eros left home.
He had to go to the streets outside to look for clues about the cultists of the Scarlet Cult.
He still had to pretend.
Time passed little by little, and soon the night completely enveloped the whole world.
At 12 o'clock in the morning, Eros stood in the yard with a cane in his hand and tried to tell fortunes.
He stuck the cane straight in front of him, then closed his eyes and began to recite silently:
"The location of the Scarlet Cult members, the location of the Scarlet Cult members..."
Eros opened his eyes when he recited it for the fifth time.
At this moment, the night seemed to be much darker, and a trace of creepy whispers began to echo in the air, making people feel as if they were in a ghost cave.
Pollution also began to spread quietly with those whispers at this moment, and began to cover Eros' body.
Feeling the changes around him, Eros looked calm, and he had expected this a long time ago.
Those members of the Scarlet Cult did interfere with the divination, and this interference was done with the help of the strange power of the spirit world.
If someone else did not prepare in advance and started divination.
I am afraid that as soon as the divination was done, the strangeness of the spirit world would invade his soul along the channel constructed by the divination.
Those people of the Scarlet Cult are indeed very insidious, but it is a pity that this method does not work on him.
Listening to the whispers getting closer and closer in his ears, looking at the twisted light gate that suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him, and looking at the illusory tentacles that stretched out from the light gate to him, Eros's mouth corners slightly curled up, and he unblocked the tentacle brother in the soul space.
Then the air suddenly became unusually quiet.
The strange whispers that seemed to be ringing in people's ears just now were stuck as if someone had strangled their necks.
And those tentacles that stretched out from the twisted light gate shrank back the moment Eros unblocked the soul space, and did not forget to seal the light gate before going back.
Click! At this moment, the cane that was standing upright in front of him fell down, and the handrail pointed directly to the southwest.
"I was not scared to death!" Looking at the weirdness that ran away, Eros showed a trace of surprise on his face.
"Because it is the weirdness of the mythology!" Barbara explained to Eros in the soul space.
Hearing that it was the weirdness of the mythology, Eros couldn't help but be shocked:
"That means that the cultists of the Scarlet Cult are carrying something with a mysterious aura?"
"It should be!" Barbara nodded in affirmation.
"How can they carry something with such a mysterious aura without being contaminated by it?" Eros was a little puzzled.
Barbara thought about it, and then gave her own guess:
"It should be that the high-level officials of the Scarlet Cult have done something to those things."
Eros nodded in a daze, and then he stopped worrying about it. After all, it was not an important matter.
He picked up the cane that fell on the ground, and his body turned into a shadow and quickly shuttled to the southwest.
...
In a dark and damp sewer, the man with a strange pattern embroidered on his chest glanced at the group of people in front of him who were also wearing black cloaks, and said in a flat tone:
"I need spiritual essence, a lot of spiritual essence!"
Not long after he said this, a hoarse and gloomy female voice sounded in the crowd:
"So! What is the purchase price?"
The man with a strange pattern embroidered on his chest said in an unchanged tone:
"10 pounds per piece, or you can exchange it for an equivalent seal or pollutant."
The hoarse and gloomy female voice was silent for a while, as if thinking about whether this price was reasonable.
A few seconds later, the hoarse and gloomy female voice sounded again:
"A very fair price! I have 100 spiritual essences and I want to use them to exchange for 10,000 pounds in cash."
"Okay!" The man with a strange pattern embroidered on his chest responded immediately.
Then he saw him cut open his stomach and took out a stack of blood-stained banknotes from it.
The rest of the people seemed to be used to this scene, so they were not too surprised.
The man counted out 10,000 pounds in cash from the stack of banknotes.
The owner of the hoarse and gloomy female voice also took out a transparent crystal bottle from her cloak, which was filled with some milky white crystals.
The rest of the people in the crowd watched the transaction, and after seeing the owner of the female voice take away the 10,000 pounds, many people showed greed in their eyes.
The owner of the female voice obviously knew that she had revealed her wealth, and today's profit was already enough.
So she said to the man with a strange pattern embroidered on his chest:
"I apply to leave early!"
The man with a strange pattern embroidered on his chest nodded and said indifferently:
"Okay!"
After saying this, the man looked around at everyone present and said without emotion in his voice:
"You are not allowed to move. If you move, you will die!"
Everyone was shocked and had to suppress their greed. They did not doubt what the man in front of them had just said.
Because the people who doubted were all dead...
The owner of the female voice heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the man's words. She bowed slightly to the man and then walked towards the branching passage of the sewer.
Seeing that the woman had successfully left, the man continued:
"Are there still people selling spiritual essence?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the shadow illuminated by the candlelight:
"Brother, why didn't you invite me to the party this time? Have you forgotten the friendship we have had for tens of thousands of years when we were chased and beaten by the church together?"
