It was still the same shuddering language, but what was different from last time was that Abigail learned some common words from Sabrina. She understood what the cloaked weirdo meant and wanted to talk to him (it) herself.
Walk.
This weirdo was sent here by Sabrina, and he has been in frequent contact with Abigail recently.
She would be led to the gathering places of the Old Ones, where she would learn the rituals, learn the language, and watch them spread fear.
It was still the same tonight. The panic spreading in the city was a breeding ground for worshipers of the past. Sabrina arranged some things for Abigail to test whether she had awe of the Hollow Realm.
Next, the female reporter followed the deformed believer, left the apartment, walked through the deserted streets, crossed the city, and arrived at the harbor area on the other side, entering the area through the hidden secret door of a building.
Land eroded by disaster.
The place where the harbor market used to be was now only a dark mess. A bonfire was raised in the center, and more than a dozen old worshipers in black robes were standing outside the fire, waiting for Abigail's arrival.
When she arrived here, the weirdos automatically moved out of the way, leading her to the woman closest to the bonfire—Sabrina.
"I……"
Stepping forward, Abigail spoke hoarsely, but the woman in front of her raised her hand to silence her, and her strange facial lines flashed under the firelight.
"ymg\u0027\u0027 ah ready? (Are you ready?)"
Sabrina asked, Abigail could understand the meaning of this sentence, she hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly.
Sabrina immediately smiled.
Abigail knew that tonight was the time to test her learning achievements during this period, and Sabrina needed her to follow her through the ritual of fear.
but……
Abigail had no idea how to perform this ceremony.
She carried the sheep skull statue on her back and waited anxiously for the result.
At this time, human groans were heard outside, and a huge shadow blocked the firelight, as if two long and thin arms were hanging high, lifting two ordinary people and throwing them to the ceremony site.
The expressions of the two people were extremely horrified, as if they had a premonition of what would happen next.
The long and thin arms retracted, they came from the deformed body of one of the worshipers of the past.
"No! Don't come here, where is this place?!"
One of the two unlucky guys was still wearing the uniform of the Yotun City Police Department. When he realized that he was being taken into the harbor area, he was immediately frightened and became incoherent.
He hurriedly took out his pistol and kept pulling the trigger, but he couldn't fire a single bullet.
The other man was a well-dressed gentleman, but because he was kidnapped, his coat was covered in mud and his hair was messed up, making him look particularly slovenly.
Likewise, he was terrified of what would happen next.
Sabrina shouted, and the cloaked men chanted along: "start goka vulgtmorr l\u0027\u0027 ah\u0027\u0027lw\u0027\u0027nafh."
Then, an old worshiper stepped forward and grabbed the gentleman's face.
Abigail saw that there was a hole in his palm that looked like a suction cup, and countless tiny squirming insects crawled out of the hole.
Those bugs got into the gentleman's body through his seven orifices, and the ensuing wriggling under the skin was clearly visible.
Outside the firelight, Abigail held her breath, the man's painful howl resounded in her ears, and her eyes were fixed on the etheric layer outside the other person's body. The colors were as red as blood at one moment, and as black as the other at another.
ink.
As the man's eyes became bloodshot, and scarlet blood flowed from his ears and nostrils, Abigail felt a strong suffocation as if she had experienced it firsthand.
The man's mental body was completely destroyed, and he fell into a deathly fear. He kept reaching out and scratching under his skin, trying to catch the bugs out.
However, there were no bugs. In the end, he almost scratched his own neck to death, but he didn't catch any bugs.
This state reminded Abigail of Videl in the court.
That guy, he tried to use invisible magic on Abigail, but in the end he was affected by a strange force, and his mental body was destroyed, triggering lethality.
As the man lost too much blood and fell to the ground and died, Sabrina said lightly: "plete vulgtmor, ep..."
Abigail knew that she was ready to attack the policeman.
So that’s what the so-called spreading of fear is…catching people to trigger their lethality and using it as a gift to the virtual realm?
Abigail was shocked and looked unacceptable.
The policeman from Jotun was stunned when he saw the tragic death of the people around him. Before the worshiper of the past approached him, he fumbled around for a saber and stabbed the cloaked man in front of him.
The cloaked man groaned, and green blood flowed from his stomach, but he did not fall down. He grabbed the policeman's face and pushed his face towards him.
Abigail saw that the cloaked man's face was covered with wriggling tentacles. They stuck to the policeman's face like glue, and then merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.
The two faces seemed to have grown together from the beginning, without any gaps.
The panicked police officer kept struggling and finally pushed the other person away, but the push was too hard and his own face was...
This horrific scene scared Abigail to scream, but the next second, she discovered that the policeman's face was intact.
Hallucination?
Abigail was not sure, but the Yotun policeman was still frightened and lost his mind. The power of the virtual realm quickly took advantage of the situation and defeated his mental body, causing him to fall into the same fate as the previous man.
.
The bugs and the torn-off faces were all very real, but when the two victims fell into fear, the bugs and the faces disappeared.
"Is it an illusion..." Abigail looked at Sabrina in front of her.
The latter looked back at the female reporter and replied calmly: "No, it's true...it's just that one is on the front and the other is on the back. When the world is turned around, you can only see one side."
Abigail didn't understand what she was saying at all, but Sabrina had indeed emphasized from the beginning that the virtual realm is the backside of the world and the secret place. What does this backside mean?
Very difficult to understand.
In the end, the policeman stabbed himself with the knife in a frenzy.
Two victims were killed, and worshipers of the past began chanting strange and chilling language.
Before Abigail's mood calmed down, Sabrina suddenly spoke again.
Next, the third victim was thrown to the bonfire by the Old Believers.
He was wearing a white armband and was a panicked picket member!
Abigail met the other person's eyes. She had seen this person before. It was the picket member who persecuted the Nippur people she saw for the first time.
That day, she had just returned from the ruins of the judge's house. On the way, she found that a picket had arrested a Nippur man from his own house. Then the citizens cooperated with the picket team and ransacked the Nippur man's home. The leader was
This guy in front of me.
Abigail recognized him, but he did not recognize Abigail.
Boundless fear filled the scoundrel's body. He huddled beside the campfire, insulting the cultists, and was so frightened that he peed his pants.
At this time, Sabrina put her hand on Abigail's shoulder, and disturbing words came out of her mouth: "This one is left to you, the respected priest, goka vulgtmorr..."
