Hotch ran as hard as he could, listening to his mother's voice in his ears, and felt determined in his heart.
After finally solving the night of massacre, how could the mother be killed again?
Through all the details of the night when the family was exterminated, Huo Qi gradually understood that during this period, he had integrated a lot of things.
"First of all, the original cause of the night of extermination was that some high-level officials in the empire conspired to attack the dark mountains and forests in the New Gil region to open up the final passage from the empire to the Hob United Empire."
"For various reasons, these people have gathered together. The blasphemer, the traitorous bishop of the Mechanical Curia, the Church of Sleep, the Eternal Demonic Cult... The aura on his body and the items he carries are just additions to this plan.
In other words, there are many beings who can feel the strangeness and difference in themselves."
"What exactly is this power, or...a certain smell?"
"The breath of the Lord in the mouth of the Slothful High Priest, could it be that the specialness in me comes from the evil god who claims to be omniscient and omnipotent?"
"The main purpose of the vampire's invasion is the demon doll, one of the thirteen holy weapons. It is impossible to attack me out of necessity, unless they think that what I have on me is of equal value to the demon doll, or is more important."
"This sense of danger stems from this."
After Hodge's thinking and analysis, he believed that the reason why he was targeted was because of his special aura, rather than the exposure of the blood cup.
Except for the strange projection just now, the blood cup was quietly stored in the dark space at other times.
This mysterious dark space seems to have a natural suppressive effect on the blood cup. Without the power of the ghost lamp, the blood cup would never be able to project a shadow.
Perhaps the appearance of the blood cup attracted attention, but it must be other reasons for being able to lock him in so quickly.
"I have entered a hidden state. Even the High Priest of Sloth cannot detect me in this state. My whole body is restrained. As long as I change my position quickly, I will most likely be able to avoid the Holy Church's counterattack."
"It's impossible to be unaware of the vampire's invasion. As long as you attack the devil, it will definitely attract the cardinal's attention."
"I just need to be patient and wait for the opportunity..."
Hotch calmed down, hid next to an angel statue, squatted down quietly, collected his thoughts, and silently waited for things to develop.
In such a dangerous situation, it might not be a bad idea to hide first.
"Pap, tap..."
Crisp footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.
Here it comes... Huo Qi's pupils shrank slightly and his heart suddenly became nervous.
In this empty and quiet environment, he could even hear his own heartbeat.
"Thump, thump..."
Hotch's face changed slightly, and he forced himself to control his emotions and calm down.
The sense of danger getting closer and closer... and the accompanying sense of fear made the hairs all over Hodge's body explode. He felt like his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and his heart was beating faster and faster, as if it would explode at any time.
No, something's wrong... Hotch was suddenly startled and discovered the changes in himself. He couldn't control his emotions, and even his heartbeat was beating strangely fast.
It felt like he was exercising vigorously. Hodge soon began to sweat profusely, his clothes gradually became soaked, and his face turned pale.
"Does this extraordinary ability belong to the vampire clan..."
"No, if you continue like this, you will die before the Holy Church can fight back."
"No, we can't sit still and wait for death."
Hodge no longer hesitated, stood up directly, lifted the invisibility effect of the Secret Eye, took out the magic card traded from the God's Favorite, raised it above his head, and shouted: "I am the first supporter of the Vampire Clan, I want to
Meet your leader, this is a token, I am one of your own..."
Before Huo Qi finished speaking, he saw a pair of cold eyes that were as red as blood.
Countless images flooded into my brain like a torrent.
The knowledge of vampires, pictures from ancient times, scenes of bloody ancient battlefields...
Hodge's body stiffened and he could not move.
"Bang!"
Hotch heard the sound of a watermelon exploding, and the first thought flashed through his mind, what exploded?
The next moment, severe pain surged from his chest. He widened his eyes and opened his mouth to scream, but in just a moment, the pain reached the limit of his endurance.
Huge darkness covered his consciousness like a tide, and he came to an eternal ocean of darkness and silence.
The surroundings were extremely dark and there was nothing but myself floating in it, like a rootless driftwood.
At this moment, he suddenly had an idea.
"It turns out that what just exploded was my own heart..."
Hotch's vision blurred for a moment, and when he was dying, just like last time, he saw the woman's movements.
The woman is very thin, has long hair shawl, is extremely fair, and looks frail.
The woman gently held Hodge's head, as if he was looking at a delicate object. Her dull red eyes showed an expression of ignorance and curiosity for the first time, and she stroked his head carefully, looking at the blood flowing down.
, no response.
The woman searched Hodge's body very carefully and found nothing.
She didn't show any emotion of impatience or anger, her expression remained indifferent and calm, and she stood there blankly.
What is she looking for...
The picture in front of him gradually disappeared, and such an idea emerged in Hotch's mind.
…
"Plop!"
A strange heartbeat sounded.
Huo Qi gasped for air, clutched the clothes on his chest, and leaned against the wall, his face pale.
Hotch glanced at his surroundings with some horror. It was still the deserted corridor. His pupils shrank, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the wall behind him. Looking up, he saw a statue of an angel who was compassionate to the world, clasping his hands and praying.
With.
"Back again?"
"Death returns?"
"Why not push forward a few hours, even if it is only a few hours, I will tell my father to leave here first, and then come back to apologize after everything is over!"
"Damn it, what's the rule for this kind of specialness?"
"Why was it seven days ago?"
"Only ten minutes at a time?"
Hodge took out the gold pocket watch in his arms and looked at the time on it - 10:49.
"No, I have to get out of here quickly."
Holding on to the wall, Hodge stood up with difficulty and took just two steps.
Suddenly, he recalled the scene he saw just before his death...
What is this woman looking for?
She is very strong, even stronger than the Slothful High Priest!
She can lock herself into position.
Even in the invisible state, it is of no use to her.
You can't escape simply by running, unless you can enter the Gate of Light and borrow the power of the Cardinal, but this is impossible!
So, I can only save myself...
"What is she looking for?"
"As long as I understand this, I can live!"
"Blood cup?"
"Silver key?"
"Or the dark space and thirteen ancient doors hidden in my body?"
Hodge's brain was spinning rapidly, and he felt that the terrible danger was approaching.
