Chapter 117 The answer is revealed(1/2)
"Sir, it's bad, another person disappeared last night."
The next morning, before Chen Gou went out, Locke hurried over and shouted outside the door.
When Chen Gou heard this, he immediately put on his mask, opened the door and walked out.
"Come on, take me there!"
Locke and the housekeeper of the city lord's palace had already asked a dozen guards to wait in line outside the door. After receiving the order, they surrounded Chen Gou and walked towards the south of the city.
With so many people, it naturally quickly attracted the attention of pedestrians on the road.
Seeing the young city lord and the housekeeper leading a dozen guards following Chen Gou, they all consciously made way to the side and couldn't help but look at him curiously.
"Who is this masked person? Even the Young City Master and the housekeeper are accompanying him personally?"
"You must be a big shot to be treated like this..."
"What do you know? Did you see that mask? The Silver Knight of the Knights of the Abyss!"
…………
The destination was a grocery store in the south of the city, where a young couple lived, and the one who had the accident was the husband.
The grocery store has a layout of front store and backyard. After lining up the crowd of onlookers, when you enter the backyard, you will see a rather pretty woman with her head lowered and crying.
When he saw Chen Gou and Locke coming over, he barely stopped crying, saluted with red and swollen eyes, and then described the situation.
After Chen Gou listened carefully, he walked into the bedroom without saying a word and expressionless.
According to the wife, around four o'clock in the morning, she felt something flashing in front of her eyes while she was sleeping, and then she was awakened.
Because her husband was in poor health and suffered from some kind of bone disease, which caused constant bone pain, they slept in separate beds at night.
Worried that something had happened to her husband, she got up and went to the bed next to her to check, only to find that her husband was missing.
There are two beds in the bedroom, one against the east wall and one against the west wall, less than three meters apart.
Chen Gou glanced around and immediately raised his eyebrows. At first glance, he saw a few strange black beads lying quietly on the quilt of the bed to the west.
He immediately used his candle pupil to look at the past, and the information he got was extremely simple.
[Relics: Ordinary sundries]
[Introduction: After a person or animal is purified, the soul ascends, and the body is the only trace left in the world. 】
[Attribute: None.]
This is not a law prop, just an ordinary item like a stone.
But the green candle deep in Chen Gou's pupils flickered, showing his inner unrest.
Although simple, it hides two important information.
First, the name "Relic" is a unique title in Buddhism.
Second, "being purified" means that the man who was originally lying on the bed has indeed disappeared, and in a purified way.
The combination of these two points was enough for Chen Gou to determine that the source of the continuous strange events in Wucheng must be related to Buddhism!
"What could it be?"
"If it's just about purifying people, I'm afraid many Buddhist forces in the abyss world have this ability, but if you add the ability to mutate people or animals, there probably won't be many."
Chen Gou pondered for a moment, then asked the hostess to be called in, and asked: "If you think about it again, what did you feel flashing before your eyes at that time?"
The woman was obviously still in the grief of losing her husband. She shook her head and said: "I don't know, I really didn't see it. I just felt it was very bright... It felt dazzling even if I closed my eyes, but it was gone in the blink of an eye..."
Light!
Dazzling!
Dazzling light!
"Purification, relics, dazzling light, mutation... we're very close, there's still a little to go, just the last bit!"
Chen Gou suddenly narrowed his eyes. Whenever he made this action, it meant that his brain was working rapidly.
Compared with other abyss knights, Chen Gou has a unique advantage.
That is, he stores information about countless evil spirits and monsters in his mind. Even those who only know their names and general outlines can only confirm their true identities, which can provide him with great help in completing his mission.
Although he certainly wouldn't know all the evil spirits that invaded Canglan, at least a large part of them were included.
"What's this?"
Chen Gou suddenly looked at the hostess in surprise, and saw that a handkerchief flew in front of her, helped her wipe away her tears, and then gently rubbed it on her face, as if to comfort her.
This is crazy...
A handkerchief turned into essence?
"Oh, this is the fog spirit monster!"
Locke quickly explained: "There is only one word difference between them and fog soul beasts. In fact, they are both from the fog soul species. But the ones that parasitize into animals are called fog soul beasts, and they parasitize into inanimate objects such as stones, water, and clothes."
The ones on it are called fog soul monsters."
"The strength of the fog soul monster is much worse than that of the fog soul beast. Basically, there are very few above level five. Many people in the city like to keep one as a pet. It has the IQ of a three or four-year-old child... Speaking of which, the fog soul monster is still
It’s one of the most famous specialties of our Fog City.”
"Parasite on inanimate objects... isn't this the spirit of a weapon?"
Chen Gou felt that this thing looked very much like the legendary weapon spirit that only the top magic weapons could breed.
So he asked: "Then if they are parasitic on the law props, wouldn't their strength be amazing?"
"The mist soul species are too weak and can only parasitize ordinary animals or things. The law creatures and props are too strong and they cannot be parasitic. At least I have never seen them since I was a child."
Locke seemed to think of something as he spoke, and suddenly frowned and said: "But I heard my father say that it seems that there was a mist soul king before, and it was parasitic on the law weapon of an awakened person. Later, this awakened person also relied on
This weapon gained quite a reputation, and he became a powerful man with a great reputation."
“So it’s possible for fog soul species to be parasitic on lawful creatures or props?”
Chen Gou suddenly felt enlightened and felt that he was a big step closer to the truth.
But there is still the last layer of window paper that has not been broken, and a real witness is needed...
Thinking of this, Chen Gou looked at Locke and asked, "Where was the first strange incident in Wucheng?"
Locke was surprised: "It's...next door to the City Lord's Mansion."
Chen Gou suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Is it next door or in the city lord's mansion?!"
"Of course...it's next door." Locke's voice became stuttering.
When Chen Gou saw him like this, he knew he was lying, and sneered: "What about your father, the city lord? It's been so long, and I haven't even seen him once. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?"
"this……"
Locke's face fell and he struggled for a few seconds before sighing in frustration.
"Hey! I didn't expect the Abyss Knight to be so powerful. Yes, the first time did happen in the City Lord's Mansion, and the one who mutated was my father, the City Lord!"
"What?"
"Even the city lord has mutated?"
Everyone around him suddenly changed his color in shock and exclaimed again and again.
Only Chen Gou said calmly: "Take me to see him."
In fact, he was not sure at the beginning whether the city lord had mutated, but he instinctively felt that the city lord kept pretending that there was something wrong with him... This was a very rude behavior for the Abyss Knight!
So I took advantage of the situation and cheated Locke.
As expected, Locke, a young man, couldn't hide things. With a little pressure, everything was revealed.
"We imprisoned my father in the underground prison of the city lord's palace. There was no other way. We were afraid of causing panic in the city, and we were also worried that... the knight would regard him as a demon. I can guarantee that although my father has mutated,
He didn’t do anything to hurt others, he just became a little...weird."
What a weird method?
Chen Gou followed Locke back to the city lord's palace and entered the underground prison. He heard a voice talking to himself in the distance.
"I am the Great Priest of the Abyss. Now I canonize my son Locke Bob as the Lord of Star Luo Shattered Island. The entire Star Luo Sea is his territory!"
"No, I am the Pope. I want to move the Holy City to Kirishima, making Kirishima more prosperous than ever before. From now on, the Kirishima Bob family will be promoted to the Holy Family!"
"Kirishima cannot decay in my hands. I want to revitalize it and make it ten times, a hundred times more glorious than it was twenty years ago..."
Until Chen Gou met the city lord Colin Bob, he was still talking seriously.
At one time he was a high priest, and at another he was the Pope, seemingly insane, but all the contents have one thing in common - they want to revitalize Kirishima and the Bob family.
"Father, this is the Silver Abyss Knight sent by the Holy See. He has something to ask you." Locke knocked on the railing and said.
The city lord's attention was attracted, he glanced at Chen Gou, and immediately snorted: "A mere silver knight, why don't you be polite when you see this priest?"
Chen Gou said with a half-smile, "Do you really want me to salute you?"
The aura he felt from the city lord was obviously different from that of the mutated awakened person before. Although the city lord was equally crazy, his eyes were not red.
