Nangong rubbed the back of his head and sat up, and found himself lying on a small high ground, with the bare wasteland beneath him and the slowly brightening sky above his head - the frightening scene in the underground palace seemed to have faded away as if in a dream.
There was a twitching pain in the back of his head, and the surrounding air was filled with an uncomfortable smell of burning. These made him frown and subconsciously muttered: "Ahem, what's wrong with me?"
Hao Ren signaled Vivian, Lily and Yzaks to stop talking, and then slapped Nangong on the shoulder: "Are you awake? Let's look up and see the big news."
"Hao Ren?" Nangong was surprised to see three acquaintances and a strange burly evil man standing next to him, "Are you okay? Did the evil spirits underground hurt you? Hey, this friend next to me is... what the hell is that going on?
?!"
Nangong finally saw the crater that was emitting thick smoke in the far distance. The few remaining stones around the crater and the nearby scenery could barely tell that this was Jofold Castle, but only one night had passed.
, this centuries-old castle only has a big pit and a pool of lava that is slowly cooling. No matter how much knowledge Nangong has in his life, he feels that his brain is not enough at this time.
"You must not believe what happened, but a meteorite fell from the sky just now and destroyed the entire castle." Hao Ren said with a sincere expression on his face without blushing or out of breath.
Nangong listened blankly, then suddenly touched the back of his head: "Wait a minute, I remember that I was fighting evil spirits in the underground palace before, and you were staying behind me, surrounded by groups of knights' resentful spirits... Then I felt a feeling on my head
Once it hurts, I can’t remember anything.”
Hao Ren tried hard to make his eyes more sincere, and looked as if he was still frightened: "Don't mention those unlucky things, I still have cramps in my calves. It's a miracle that we can run out - last night
When you were fighting bravely, the roof of the underground palace collapsed again, and you were knocked unconscious on the spot. I was closing my eyes and preparing to wait for death, but the tin cans around me were lying on the ground and stopped moving for some reason.
It took a lot of effort for the three of us to transport you... and this old man up there. We originally thought about waiting for dawn before taking a ride back, but this evil place was too scary, so we ran out as much as possible, which saved everyone.
One life: A meteorite fell from the sky ten minutes ago, and then it became what you saw."
From the beginning to the end, Hao Ren assumed that he was an ordinary person who knew nothing. He did not try to explain why the undead armor in the underground palace "lyed on the ground and stopped moving", nor did he explain why a meteorite fell from the sky with such precision.
After smashing the entire castle into a big hole, he just told a bunch of bizarre stories without any psychological burden, leaving Nangong to figure out the rest.
Hao Ren's mentality is very dirty: Anyway, I am an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything, come and bite me~~
Sure enough, Nangong was confused after hearing this but had no intention of asking Hao Ren for details. He seemed not to believe that the ordinary man in front of him and the two harmless girls next to him had anything to do with this incident.
The "expert" explained with his own logic for a long time, and reluctantly made a guess: "Perhaps those undead souls are controlled by something more core in the underground palace. This kind of situation is often seen in relics that are hundreds of years old...
Well, that must be the case, I am an expert."
Hao Ren, Vivian and others secretly rolled their eyes at the same time: This person really has the nerve to say that.
Nangong stood up slowly at this time and looked at the doomsday sinkhole in the distance with regret. He knew that there must be countless secrets in the castle, which could explain why the undead suddenly fell and why he was killed by three people.
An "ordinary person" was rescued, but now there is nothing left there, and even an investigation is out of the question.
Hao Ren glanced at Yzaks gratefully. Meteor Escape is indeed a one-size-fits-all skill. Basically, if you hit it with a stone, as long as you don't cast it in front of ordinary people, you don't have to worry about anything that happens in the future.
, no one on this planet believes that there really is a powerful person who can pull an asteroid from the Kuiper Belt and hit people for fun. The only ones who are worried are the astrophysicists - and this half-hearted person in front of me.
Ghost hunting expert.
Soon after, the onlookers from the small town of Bruchard finally arrived.
Several off-road vehicles were parked near the old site of Jofold Castle. The thick smoke here and the high-temperature lava where the meteorite fell made it impossible for anyone to get close. In fact, when Yzaks came, the people in the town were
I noticed the movement here. The sea of flames that filled the sky at that time was almost the same as the first "haunted incident" not long ago. The busybodies in the town and the paranormal enthusiasts from other places cleaned up within a few minutes.
They came out of the town, but there was no road from the town entrance to Jofold Castle. There were only rugged rocky beaches along the way. Even a few off-road vehicles couldn't drive very fast, so they basically only saw the whole incident.
A little tail: The moment the meteorite fell from the sky.
Even those who wanted to die would not dare to rush forward against the power of the meteorite, so these people did not arrive at the scene until the shock wave and big explosion caused by the meteorite subsided. Now they are discussing around the disappeared old castle site.
One after another, some were tweeting on their mobile phones, some were taking photos with the crater, some were holding supernatural sensors with sad faces, and some were frothing at the mouth and sitting on the ground convulsing, claiming that Lord Jofold had something to say—
-The last one is really energetic. I worked on it till midnight last night without tiring her out. I got up early this morning and started working on it again.
But most people's faces were pure shock. These ordinary people did not have the reasoning ability of professionals. They just felt that such big events happened one after another next to such a rural town... They should be able to brag to many people in the future.
.
After a night of tossing, Hao Ren and the others were exhausted physically and mentally, even if they were not physically exhausted, so they took a hitchhike back to the town, while Nangong and the Indian monk who had not yet fully woken up (the old man was physically exhausted)
Sure enough, it didn’t work, with the same strength, he was unconscious for such a long time) and walked together. Along the way, this half-hearted demon hunter kept repeating one sentence: "Why is this? Why is this?"
I would like to think that anyway, all the evidence has been vaporized, and Holmes will never be able to attribute the cause to the demon that fell from the sky.
The group of people returned to the town. Originally, they could have taken the bus directly back to London, but Vivian had the idea to go to "Angus's Cottage" to check out the situation and see who the tavern owner who had experienced the big incident was.
Hao Ren and Lily certainly didn't have any objections to the situation, or to confirm whether there were any future troubles. Yzaks didn't say much from the beginning to the end. This big devil seemed to have something on his mind.
Once he spoke, he would just nod his head when others asked him for advice.
However, Hao Ren didn't care that much. After all, it was the first time they met, and they were far from familiar enough to ask questions.
The four people quickly found the small hotel on the edge of the town. As expected, the hotel owner Angus was not smiling at the front desk to greet guests as usual.
"The boss was sent back from outside early yesterday morning. He is in very bad spirits. He seems to be sick. He is nowhere to be seen now."
The little girl in front of the cashier (not the one from yesterday) answered the customer's question honestly.
After coming out of the hotel, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems like they didn't talk nonsense, and they don't know our identities."
Vivian knew better. She had already released a small bat while no one was paying attention, and found Angus lying on the bed in a daze in a certain room of the hotel. The fat boss looked frightened last night.
It's not a serious shock, but it's just a serious fright. It will probably get better after a while. As for the truth there...
No one will know anymore.
The few of them returned to London. This time they did not look for any of those cheap star-rated hotels, but just found an ordinary hotel to stay temporarily. They really needed to rest for a day before leaving - and the entry and exit procedures for Yitzhaks were very complicated.
It's not down yet.
While staying in the hotel, Hao Ren connected the communication with Raven 12345.
