Mysterious Catastrophe
Page 168
Aaron took out an Anthology of Ancient Poets and began to translate.
Gradually, his expression changed slightly.
In the end, Aaron sent out a flame and burned the letter to ashes. He leaned back in his chair and silently recalled the contents of Bruce's letter.
After the other teacher died of illness, he came to Pulmouth to find a school for further study.
It is said that although he was under surveillance by the Investigation Bureau following Cornelius, he got rid of the investigation after a risk-free adventure, went to the Druid Holy Land smoothly, completed the historical retrospective ceremony, and obtained the ability of "beast language".
Then, he successfully entered the school of 'Eye of Gumeng' for in-depth study.
Then, misfortune happened.
Chapter 283
Half a month ago, a group of Beyonders attacked the headquarters of the 'Eye of Gu Meng'!
Although the "Eye of Gumeng" resisted fiercely, the opponent was too strong. In the end, the headquarters was breached, the members suffered heavy casualties, and the rest scattered to break through.
Although Bruce was lucky enough to break through the siege, he was hunted down all the way and hid everywhere in Pulmouth, and finally took shelter of Cornelius Euse in the "Ring of Oaks".
And as the situation became more and more urgent, he had to ask his friend 'Aaron' for help.
'Has Bruce awakened some bad luck curse, no matter where he goes, accidents will happen? '
'Think about it this way, ordinary people first, then they are chosen as disciples by Extraordinary people, then the teacher dies...then he joins the school...then the school is destroyed...this kind of disaster halo setting...is really a bit The protagonist's fate. '
Aaron rubbed his chin, thinking a little funny.
"Unfortunately... this kind of protagonist luck is not something everyone can bear..."
He sighed, stroking the green forest power ring in his hand.
A phantom figure wearing a complex and gorgeous dress suddenly emerged, it was the evil spirit Auclaire.
Immediately, Aaron's spirit body came out of his body, manipulated Eau Claire's body, drilled into the wall, and disappeared.
Judging from the letter, Bruce was almost desperate, otherwise he would not have sent a letter to try to contact him.
Presumably the situation at this time has reached a precarious situation!
……
Abandoned city.
This is the most deprived district in Pulmouth, bar none.
The houses are dilapidated, even dilapidated houses are everywhere, and the occupancy rate is very low.
In comparison, most of the well-known gangs are headquartered here, and there are some unspeakable mysterious places.
——According to the rumors of the Black Queen, the abandoned urban area was originally part of the lower urban area, but there was a very serious out-of-control incident of strange things, which directly led to the abandonment of this area, and left many hidden dangers.
Even if a Extraordinary encounters hidden troubles, he may lose his life if he is not careful!
Because of this, even the Investigation Bureau felt that the benefits of dealing with it were not proportional to the trouble, and chose to give up and block it.
On the contrary, quite a few Extraordinary from the Black Queen's District chose to investigate the laws of a certain low-risk area, and then used this place as one of the strongholds for secret gatherings, becoming a part of the Black Queen's District.
Every night, gang fights, gun battles, transactions of extraordinary people, spooky things out of control, mutant creatures, and unknown dangers will appear randomly, which is a place that residents of the lower city avoid.
dark night.
In a dilapidated house with air leaks on all sides, like a place of war.
The walls were riddled with paint splatters and bullet holes.
A figure deftly wandered in the dark, avoiding obstacles everywhere on the road, and got into a basement.
In the basement, after opening a door, the bright electric light shone down, reflecting Bruce's slightly haggard face.
"Really... I used to think that there was no place worse than the lower city, until I came to the abandoned city... This place is simply a piece of wasteland, it is hard to imagine that the kingdom will let it exist here..."
He put down the paper bag with the loaf of bread in his hand and complained.
"After all... There used to be at least 'angel-level' monsters out of control here... At the beginning, the Sodom royal family even considered whether to move the capital. Fortunately, it was controlled in the end, but the pollution has already formed and it is difficult to reverse... Ordinary people living in the abandoned city will soon become ill strangely, and the offspring they raise are also likely to be deformed."
The basement was small, and there was only one person sitting on the simple bed, Cornelius Earl of the Ring of Oak.
At this time, the druid was shirtless, and a wire was connected to his shoulder to provide energy for the electric light in the basement.
"There is also electricity in the human body, which I named 'bioelectricity'..."
Cornely caressed his half-flesh, half-mechanical arm. It was slightly broken, as if it had experienced an extremely high-intensity battle before: "We can't pull a wire or gas pipe from the outside, otherwise it is very likely that someone will find it from the data sheet. question."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I got you involved."
Bruce was silent for a long time before apologizing.
After the headquarters of the 'Eye of Gumon' was raided, he escaped by chance, and the only person he knew in Pulmouth who could help him was Cornely.
At that time, he couldn't contact Aaron at all.
Unexpectedly, those attackers were very active in chasing down the remnants of the 'Eye of Gumeng', and seemed to have some divination methods, which led to the discovery of Cornelli's safe house, and had to fight the pursuers to escape. Into the abandoned city.
Here, the living environment is even worse, and there is a lack of food, medicine, and even clean water.
It forced Bruce to take the risk of crossing the abandoned city several times at night to find food and other supplies.
"Stay for at most three days before we have to move to the next place... It's really troublesome to get rid of a chaser who can divination, we need help! At least find a Beyonder who can counter-divination, or a magical item." Cornelius stretched out his arm, the flesh and the mechanical arm automatically extended, and began to devour the food quickly: "You brought too little, I need enough food to replenish energy...preferably meat."
"Feel sorry……"
Bruce spread his hands: "I only found these, and I spent the last bit of money..."
"Wait for a while, and when the reinforcements from my school arrive, we will be safe."
After eating the food with his arms, Cornelius half leaned on the bed, closed his eyes and muttered.
"Actually... I've tried my best to notify others." Bruce scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Who?" Cornelius' eyes opened, blushing, making Bruce think he saw a preying beast.
"You should know that the risk of contacting others at this time is not only ours, but also for the other party."
"It's Aaron Juggs... My teacher trusts him very much. I came to Pulmouth with him, and you have seen him. I think he is quite reliable and capable." Bruce replied quickly.
"That young man?" Cornelius seemed to have thought of something, and said regretfully, "He is very suitable for the way of nature..."
'It's coming again, it's coming again, and everyone I meet feels suitable for the way of nature... Even if he is injured, can't he stop his missionary fanaticism? ' Bruce sighed inwardly.
Immediately, he saw Cornely staring at him brightly.
"And you, Bruce! Don't you think it's a natural arrangement for you to be so lucky to escape?" Cornelius said with a pious expression: "In return for my rescue, let me tell you about the Druids. The way of nature... I promise, I will not force you to change your beliefs with the grace of saving your life, but you can actively believe in the 'mother of nature' from the bottom of your heart... You must know that everything is a part of nature..."
Chapter 284 Meeting
"The mother of nature tells us that everything has its own law... everything can communicate..."
Cornely read out the doctrine, his face gradually turned red, and he seemed to want to keep talking like this.
Bruce could only listen with a toothache expression because it was difficult to interrupt due to the previous relationship.
At the same time, he also used his mystic knowledge to understand the 'Druid' path:
'Druids are the fusion of 'red' and 'chrysalis'. They grow from 'red' and use 'chrysalis' to communicate the spirituality of all things. Therefore, they can drive animals, but why do they add the content of flesh and blood transformation? I always feel that something is wrong ...'
Just as his thoughts were diverging, Cornelli's expression suddenly became extremely solemn: "You must know...Nature also has its anger. It uses steel as its sword, gunpowder as its furnace, and flesh and blood as its veins!"
Crackling!
His raised right arm stretched open his clothes in an instant, rapidly multiplied and swelled...
Numerous flesh and blood quickly grew, stretched and lengthened, like a giant python dancing wildly, on the mutated right arm, there are also some steel castings, such as gears, bearings, pipes...
At first glance, it looks like a violent river combining machinery and flesh and blood. With a huge force, it destroys the walls on all sides, wraps Bruce, and jumps out of the basement.
"There are enemies?"
Bruce's first reaction was that Cornelius had spotted the enemy!
He was well aware of the power of the opponent's arm. Before that, Cornelius used this move to let the flesh and blood arm dance wildly, directly crushing the chasing Extraordinary, and the death was terrible!
Whoa!
Countless tentacles spread from the fleshy arm, dancing wildly like a huge bloody centipede!
On the ground, the load-bearing walls and reinforced concrete pillars touched by it collapsed one after another.
With a loud bang, a dilapidated building nearby collapsed and crushed down like a hill.
"Where's the enemy?"
Bruce looked around, but found that the darkness was particularly thick.
The icy breath spread, covering the ground with a layer of hoarfrost.
When the dust from the collapsed building fell, an illusory transparent human figure emerged impressively.
The other party has a handsome and wooden face, purple eyes, and a gorgeous ancient court dress.
"Cornelius . . . I am not your enemy."
Aaron spoke in a low voice.
"This druid really has the wrong style of painting... Very wrong... However, compared to the 'mechanical instructor' who completely transforms the flesh into a tool, they seem to be taking the road of fusion of flesh and blood..."
At the same time, he silently complained in his heart.
"Purple eyes, ancient clothes... Are you an 'Evil Spirit' of Sothos? Are you from the 'Blood of Decay' or the 'Green Council'?"
Cornely's body was extremely uncoordinated with his right arm, but he didn't retract it. He asked solemnly, showing his extensive knowledge.
"Neither of them... I serve an immortal being, and his name is--Aaron Sotos, Earl of Green Forest!"
Aaron answered in a hoarse voice.
"Is it you?"
Bruce spoke suddenly, slightly surprised: "My teacher mentioned something to me...you are the evil spirit in the ruins of Sothos? How did you find this place?"
He believed in the other party more, because the Earl of Green Forest could not be an accomplice of the attacker.
"I came here on behalf of a descendant, and his name is Aaron Yugos." Aaron continued: "It's just that your reaction seems to be too intense..."
"Uh……"
Bruce looked at the collapsed building and the surrounding people who were bound to be alarmed, with an embarrassed expression on his face: "So you are reinforcements? You came faster than I imagined..."
According to his estimation, the letter has just arrived in Green Forest City now!
Whoa!
A huge arm made of flesh and gears curled up and turned back into Cornelius' right arm.
There was also an unnatural expression on his face, and he said solemnly: "Such a big commotion will inevitably attract other people, we must leave here immediately... Mister 'Evil Spirit', what are you going to do?"
"It's very simple, you guys go first, I'll be the last."
Aaron responded with a smile. Anyway, Eau Claire can't die, and even if he dies, he can be resurrected. He is a very useful tool spirit.
"But our enemies should be proficient in divination and will find us every once in a while!"
Cornely said immediately.
"This is simple, give me one of your belongings."
Aaron nodded.
Bruce glanced at Cornelius, first took out his pocket watch and handed it over.
Aaron took it calmly, and immediately said: "I have already applied anti-divination interference for you..."
"I suspect you are lying to me, but there is no evidence..." Bruce's face was full of disbelief.
On the contrary, Cornelius seemed to see something, and praised: "Mr. Evil Spirit, your use of the spirit world is amazing!"
While admiring, he handed over a wallet.
At this time, Aaron had already seen a Beyonder appearing in the distance, and immediately waved his hand to signal the two to leave.
"Mr. Evil Spirit, you should be able to find us, after you get rid of your pursuers..."
Cornelius said one last word and took Bruce away.
