Ten trainee exorcists walk in the lawless land of the light.
The crumbling ruins silently tell the past glory of old Belfast.
It is said that the exorcists, night watchmen, and investigators have their bases somewhere here.
Old Belfast did not favor these young people visiting for the first time. Apart from the scarlet sky, a kind of uneasy mist gradually surrounded them. Even if they searched for medicine, they could not detect the source, and retreating could not let it go.
disappear.
"There seems to be something wrong with the weather."
Yoder said belatedly: "The Exorcist Code says not to step in knowingly that something is strange. Maybe we should retreat to the camp temporarily."
"Agree."
"I think so too."
But there were only four people who chose to retreat. Most people didn't want the first incident to fail in disgrace, and they couldn't just go their separate ways with internal strife, so they had no choice but to obey the majority and move on.
"We may have strayed off course, who will use the living map?" Naveen asked.
"I'll do it."
The youngest, only 16 years old, Vaughan, said that his sanity value is higher than others.
Reaching into his stomach pouch, Vaughn took the living map potion, lifted up his coat, and hunched his back in pain.
The scar-like granulations protrude, showing a map made of flesh and blood.
"We haven't deviated from the direction. This is the Bow and Arrow neighborhood. We are indeed moving along the planned route." Porter dotted the edge of the map and memorized the entire old Belfast map.
Although the blood-stained mist was unsettling, they must move on.
"I'm so hungry...has any of you brought anything to eat?"
Walking along a block without incident, Langer suddenly clutched his stomach, which made a muffled sound.
The trainee exorcists looked at each other and found in embarrassment that each other had forgotten about it.
"I brought it."
Jodel took out the remaining food from this morning.
"Thanks! I'm so hungry..."
Langer, whose sense of hunger overwhelmed him, snatched the dried meat and crazily stuffed it into his mouth.
The rest of the people who realized the problem took out potions and surrounded Yoder.
The change occurred suddenly. Yoder, whose mouth was full of food, suddenly strangled his neck and fell to the ground in pain. He lost his life after a few seconds.
"He is dead..."
After drinking the revealing potion, Porter said in disbelief as he approached Yodel.
They didn't even react to what happened. Choked to death? How is this possible...
Choking to death?
Realizing something, Potter was about to exclaim when intense sleepiness suddenly overtook his body, depriving him of his rationality and thinking. Potter only had time to exclaim before he fell to the ground and fell asleep forever.
The remaining eight trainee exorcists backed away in fear for fear of contracting the terrible plague.
"But there's nothing around..."
"Maybe it has something to do with the fog, retreat to the house and light a fire!" Naveen said decisively.
Leaving behind the bodies of their companions for the time being, they retreated to the houses on the street.
The wall blocked them, and the trainee exorcists climbed up the wall one after another and entered the house. At this time, Lille suddenly let out a scream, which stopped abruptly after a muffled thud.
His feet were stuck in the cracks in the wall, his head fell on the broken stone slab, his forehead was sunken into his skull, and brain fluid mixed with blood turned pink.
"Weird! Upstairs!"
Before he had time to think, another exclamation came out, and a curtain-like spiritual body fell down, covering the reminding Tris' body, wrapping him up into the mist.
A bottle of medicine crossed the parabola and unfortunately passed under the strange spirit body.
Yoder pulled the holster of his gun, and Naveen grabbed him as he passed by and rushed into the house.
Chaotic footsteps stepped on the floor, the potion shattered, and the invisible power of the protective potion shrouded the surroundings.
Ellison's thinking paused as he ran into the house, and a spark of speculation was born.
"We were too impulsive..."
Naveen struck the flint and whispered to himself.
Whether it was due to rash contact, giving Yodel food and corpses, or the escape caused by Potter's death.
"None of us thought it would be so dangerous even in the Land of Light..."
Cha Cha
Sparks flew from the flint, and Ellison's eyes reflected the sparks, and the fire in his heart seemed to be ignited.
"Five children from the royal city were afraid of the thick fog and went to warm themselves by the fire; they were haunted by the flames until they died. Only four of the five were left..." He murmured to himself.
"What……"
Ellison realized the truth too late. The flint ignited the fire, and the flames spread along Naveen's arm and spread all over his body in an instant, burning the entire decaying house.
"It's the skirt song!" Ellison shouted in horror.
"But we heard nothing!"
The remaining four people avoided the spreading fire, and Ellison shouted: "Four children from the royal city went out together and met with disaster. One of them was eaten by a monster, and only three of the four were left! We can't go out!"
"If we don't get out, we will be engulfed in fire!"
The scorching heat licked their backs, and they could already feel their clothes smoking and their hair curling.
snap
Yoder threw potions at the flames, but it was useless. They had no potions to extinguish the fire.
"Prepare the sequence potion and rush to the opposite side!"
Elson took all the sequence potions with shelter and hiding effects, and was the first to rush out of the crumbling house under the flames.
The spirit body that attacked before suddenly descended, wrapped around Elson as he was running, and rose into the sky.
Yoder, who held the psychic gun tightly, raised his arm and pulled the trigger.
Bang
The silver-plated bullet penetrated the spirit body and smashed Elson's intestines. He was strangely released and fell down together with his bloody intestines.
"I'm alive……"
On the verge of death, Elson looked into the depths of Yodel, his hands stained with blood.
"I know."
Yodel takes off his clothes to explode for him.
"No... don't bother, kill me quickly... you have to do this...!" He blocked Yoder weakly: "Dancing skirt... unknown ritual... kill me... destroy the order... otherwise...
Everyone will die..."
Elson's voice became deeper and deeper.
Yoder did not hesitate for long, painfully picked up Elson's psychic gun and pulled the trigger.
Bang
The deafening gunfire sounded, and colorful colors bloomed in the back of Elson's head.
To help Elson free himself, he caught up with his companions, climbed over the wall and rushed through the neighborhood.
"The ceremony was aborted?"
Chaotic footsteps and breathing disturbed the silence deep in the mist, and the surviving Allen, Yoder and Wenger looked at each other.
[This is a book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here ]
"Maybe……"
The disaster occurred suddenly like corpses falling from the sky. Allen was knocked to the ground. When Yoder approached, he was already dead, and his blood flowed along the cracks of the broken stone slabs.
Jodl and Wenger looked at each other and rushed into the house.
The fluorite lamp was held high, and Yoder by the door stared at a bundle of dust-covered hemp rope entangled on the beam.
The two trainee exorcists were sighing under the rafters; the rope dropped from the sky was sad, and only one of the two was left.
Jodl and Wenger have met their end.
A minute later, Yoder stood on the wooden chair with a sad expression, side by side with Wenger who was shaking gently, and put his head into the rope.
Bang
The wooden chair was kicked down, the creaking of the hemp rope lasted for more than ten seconds, and the place became quiet again.
