Chapter 1196 Control
As the lowest-level species in the demon army, the "infected beast" itself has a strong survivability. After sucking different species, the infected beasts will undergo different changes. Therefore, older infected beasts are almost very different in appearance if they are in different regions.
The "specimen" in front of him was a "mummyized" infected beast that evaporated water through spells. Tariya and Nafi were startled by the demon with ferocious expressions behind the glass, because when the other party opened his mouth and looked at him, he could clearly see two rows of triangular teeth showing outside. There were gill-shaped gaps on the dry skin on both sides. At first glance, they looked like some kind of shark with legs.
"Huh, is this an infected beast? It's much bigger than I thought..."
Nefi almost turned her face to the glass to look, but she didn't hear Tariya reply for several seconds. She turned her head and asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"
When asked this, Tariya stared at the Infected Beast in a daze. Her hands were trembling slightly, and some strange emotions were surging in her heart - she wanted to raise her hand and touch the head of the Infected Beast.
At this moment, Tariya didn't notice that Nefi's right hand had reached into the pocket beside her, and the dozen or so figures who seemed unrelated to pass by on the surrounding streets were all slowing down...
"Taria?"
"ah?"
She finally came to her senses and turned her head suddenly, "I, I...it seemed to remember something just now..."
"What's going on? Is there a voice?"
"No, I suddenly had some strange thoughts in my mind, and I wanted to reach out to touch it." Tariya said, shook her head, and looked down at her palms: "But I can't remember the reason. I haven't seen this thing before, except seeing pictures in the newspaper - this thing is not from the demon plane..."
Having said this, she suddenly stopped.
Nafi in front of him looked serious: "Maybe... this is also a manifestation after being affected?"
“It’s possible.”
Tariya was a little nervous, but she didn't realize that if she had acted more violently just now, she might have been controlled by overwhelming spells at this time.
But now it is obviously not that far, Nefi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and started talking about other topics.
But after a few words, a team suddenly passed by. A sound of prayer chanting came, and the others around seemed to be quieter, and some even stopped walking and looked at the gaze. Nefi and Tariya also looked over and found that this was a "Rose Cross" team wearing robes.
Today is the routine "Platform Mass" event of "Rose Cross". The team should have finished the ceremony and was on their way back to the church. There were about fifteen people in front and behind, including priests wearing blue and white churches like Sally, bishops, and several female figures with slightly different clothes.
Seeing this, many believers saluted respectfully, and even knelt on the ground and chanted the prayer in a low voice.
But Tariya's eyes were staring at the figures in the team wearing black and white robes - because these four women accompanying him were the Tuk priests from Eska!
They are now conducting doctrinal exchanges and discussions within the "Rose Cross". After coming to Hollier City, they are diligently adapting to life here and seriously participating in every religious activity.
At this time, these Tuk priests were chanting prayers seriously and walking forward, not paying attention to Tariya standing in the corner at all. But the latter noticed these people and was obviously stunned.
"That's the priest of the Rose Cross, I've seen it elsewhere."
Nafi saw her staring at her and quickly said, "There are people everywhere in Hollier City. The skin of these priests is so white. Look at the guy over there, it's so dark as a bear."
But these words did not bring Tariya back to her senses as usual. She stared blankly at the backs of the priests, and always felt a strange sense of familiarity - even the prayers floating in the air made her feel peaceful.
Tariya didn't know the reason, and she turned her eyes to the ground beneath her feet, trying to recall the details deep in her mind, but suddenly, a strange force almost completely controlled her body from top to bottom.
"Taria?"
Nefi asked another question next to her. Tariya wanted to answer, but then she found that she couldn't even open her mouth and could not even turn her head. She struggled desperately after being wrapped in power, even to the point where her fingertips were trembling, but her body was not moving at all. Then... she felt her face twisting in the other direction bit by bit.
"Taria, are you listening to me?"
Nefi didn't notice anything strange at all. Seeing her slowly turning her head and staring at the infected beast, she said, "We have the chance to see this thing, let's go and find Master Ethan first--Tariya...Tariya?"
At this time, Tariya leaned forward and her head was getting closer and closer to the window. Nafi finally noticed something was wrong and quickly reached out to hold her, because if she didn't catch her, Tariya's head would be knocked through the glass.
"hiss--"
After taking a sudden breath, Tariya felt that the power finally disappeared instantly. Her body, which was struggling to fight, collapsed instantly and leaned directly into Nafi's arms. The latter was almost taken to the ground. After staggering and standing firmly, she quickly asked anxiously: "What's going on? What happened?"
"It's that guy... I've just been controlled, I've been controlled..."
Tariya's face was pale and her legs were weak. She whispered: "Go away! Get out of here quickly... I feel that it's all about that demon!"
Nafei didn't talk nonsense when she heard this, and immediately helped her away from the street. After they left, an old man standing in front of the newsstand with a pipe in front of the newsstand was slowly raised.
Crups narrowed his eyes and breathed a little relieved.
He didn't do anything, but just followed, and the inconspicuous crowds around him followed Nefi and Tariya at various angles...
After Nefi, who came to the hotel, greeted Master Ethan, he helped Tariya, who was pale and came into the room. Because the room price was expensive, they lived in the same room - Nefi was obviously worried about her condition, so after pouring water for Tariya, he asked, "Do you feel better now?"
Tariya was trembling all over. This was not because of pain, but because of the fear of the irresistible power. She was very afraid that she would lose control of her body. At this time, her hands were still trembling: "...I, I am afraid that I would suddenly lose control. You and I just couldn't control myself at all. Will you and I next time..."
"Don't panic first, don't panic."
Naifie whispered and comforted: "Master Ethan will go in to hand over the magic circle later. Let's go over together and ask where to treat this symptom, is it good? Look outside the window - there may be hundreds of mages around us. I saw the dragon clan just now. There must be no problem, believe me."
After hearing this, Tariya knew that her simple fear was useless. She took several deep breaths and nodded in agreement.
Both of them were relieved. Nefi picked up the free newspaper on the table and looked it up. Tariya began to simply place the greeting she brought. But within a few minutes, she heard Nefi scream: "Look at this!"
"What's wrong?"
Tariya leaned over and glanced at the newspaper, and her face suddenly showed an excitement...
