When the dazzling white light gradually dissipated, a hollow echo still remained in the air. This echo lasted for several minutes before gradually subsided. A slightly warm breath, which may also be an illusion, hovered over the family hall. All
The shadows of chaos seemed to dissipate under that white light. Hasselblad asked the demon hunters to maintain the holy flame barrier. He led the white fire to the front to investigate before finally sending a signal that the crisis was over.
"Huh..." Lily took a long breath, and the fuzz on her tail slowly calmed down, "I'm really exhausted both physically and mentally."
Hao Ren glanced at the husky with a strange expression: "You were just watching the fun from the beginning to the end."
When fighting against the Shadow of Chaos, Lily was basically of no use. She knew nothing about magic, and her two claws seemed to be of no use except to strengthen her courage, so the only thing she did just now was to cheer next to Hao Ren.
When Hesperus and Vivian went to deal with the out-of-control demon hunter, she wanted to help, but it was over before she could act.
However, the Husky girl herself puffed up her chest and looked very proud: "I just used my war cry to buff you!"
Hao Ren thought for a moment and thought that if Lily's whistling noise could be considered a war cry, then if he went to a large dog breeding base and came back, he would have at least three rows of buu on his head...
"Is this the end?" Hao Ren looked up at the direction of the family hall. The black shadows pouring out from the door had completely disappeared. The dark environment that once shrouded the hall had also disappeared. The super-large exorcism ceremony had cleared the air.
After all the negative energy inside and outside the building, now it even has a vague sense of holiness: a faint milky white halo slowly floats on its dome, "Your ceremony is quite powerful."
"This is the demon hunter's method." The flames on Bai Huo's body gradually extinguished. She looked a little tired, but otherwise she was fine. "Now it seems that our exorcism is more reliable than your shadow power."
Oh, of course, your gun is quite powerful."
At this time, Hesperus dragged a dark-skinned demon hunter over. She threw the person in her hand in front of Hasselblad: "Here, your subordinates are intact. This guy's fate is better than his."
If he doesn’t recover, I will kill him easily.”
This is the same demon hunter whose mind was controlled by the Shadow of Chaos just now. He was bombarded by Vivian's real? One hundred thousand volts? Let's scatter bat spirit. Now he is covered in black and looks like the man who just came out of the boiler.
It seemed as if he had been fished out of the fish. He also twitched from time to time, and occasionally electric light flowed through the gaps in his clothes. Hasselblad immediately bent down to check the status of the soldier and found that except for the visible skin trauma, he was completely mentally intact.
Recover.
"Completely recovered?" Bai Huo exclaimed in surprise when he saw this situation, "How did you do it?!"
"How did you do it?" Hesperius originally didn't intend to talk to the Hasselblad master and apprentice, but Bai Huo asked and she couldn't help but speak. "Fat will recover naturally after a beating."
ah."
Hao Ren noticed that Hasselblad kept checking the demon hunter's condition with a serious look on his face, and also used various testing magics. He vaguely realized that something was wrong with the situation: "What's wrong? Shouldn't it be restored?"
"This has never happened before. The mental madness caused by the shadow of chaos requires a very complicated ritual to recover from." Hasselblad did not look up. "Since a month ago, some demon hunters have been attacked by these shadows.
, we have roughly figured out ways to relieve mental madness based on ancient data, but those methods are all very troublesome, and I have never heard of anyone recovering from a beating."
Lily interjected from the side: "But when I see those people who are mind-controlled on TV, they wake up after being beaten..."
Hao Ren glanced at her sideways: "You also know that it's for TV. Isn't this the scriptwriter's convenience for the plot?"
At this time, the data terminal appeared and muttered: "In fact, there is a big boss who can slap anyone who loses his mind... Well, but he is not here."
Hasselblad didn't pay attention to what the data terminal said. He focused on Hesperius and Vivian: "What did you do then?"
Hesperius thought for a while and realized that all he was doing the whole time was hitting people with his mace, and he didn't hit a few people, so he raised his finger and pointed at Vivian: "She was the one who delivered the last blow.
of."
"It's an electric shock," Vivian replied frankly, "It's just a bat swarm discharge. It's a very common move for me. And this move has no effect in exorcizing demons and calming souls."
"Electric shock? Electric shock can cure mental madness?" Bai Huo muttered in disbelief, "I've never heard that two electric shocks can cure this."
At this time, the demon hunter lying on the ground struggled to get up, opened his mouth and blew out a stream of black smoke: "No... more than two times..."
After saying this, he lay back and continued shaking.
While Hasselblad and Bai Huo were seriously thinking about whether electric shock could drive away the mental damage caused by the Shadow of Chaos, Hao Ren suddenly thought of other aspects. After learning many things about Vivian, he would of course think of this bat.
Jing's special life experience: "I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the electric shock. Maybe it was Vivian herself who expelled the influence of the Shadow of Chaos."
Hasselblad didn't understand what he meant by this, while Vivian was stunned for a moment and then showed a strange expression: "You mean...why do these weird things always have to do with me?"
Before Hao Ren could say anything, Lily rolled her eyes and said, "You are the weirdest guy in the family."
"What are you talking about?" Bai Huo looked at Hao Ren and the others in confusion. "Can Countess Vivian's power restrain the Shadow of Chaos?"
"Oh, no, it's nothing, it's just a conjecture," Hao Ren felt that this question would not be explained for a while, so he waved his hands and said perfunctorily. "In fact, Vivian was one of several ancient people who took action to seal the Shadow of Chaos thousands of years ago.
One of the gods, so I wondered if she unconsciously retained the talent to restrain shadows."
Hasselblad looked at Vivian in surprise: "Is this true? Are you really one of the people who built the seal back then?"
Vivian nodded awkwardly: "It seems so, but I can't remember clearly."
Hao Ren roughly told Hasselblad about the origin of the seal, and then the topic shifted to those shadows of chaos: "How did those shadows appear just now? Do you have any clues?"
Bai Huo recalled the situation at that time and frowned slightly: "Did they appear suddenly and I didn't notice them at all? It was your... assistant who was the first one to run out and call the police, wasn't he?"
"If these shadows of chaos suddenly appeared in the hall like this a month ago, then it would be understandable what happened to the Ancatero family and the demon hunters," Hasselblad said in a deep voice, "They had no time to deal with it.
And as soon as someone goes insane, the situation can spiral out of control."
Everyone at the scene knew that the situation just now was actually very dangerous: if the data terminal had not warned in advance, given the density of people in the hall and the limitations of the terrain at that time, even experienced demon hunters would have been attacked by the Shadow of Chaos.
The madness-inducing attribute of the shadow is the biggest threat. The more people there are, the more effective it is. So it is not difficult to imagine that a month ago Amtura led a large number of demon hunters and the Ancatero family.
When the members met in this hall, the Shadow of Chaos suddenly appeared and triggered a devastating chain reaction.
"What did everyone do at that time? What moved? Did you see any unusual phenomena or feel a special atmosphere?" Yzaks's deep and powerful voice sounded, with a sense of calmness and reassuring reliability.
"We need to find out if there is something that 'calls' those shadows."
Everyone immediately began to recall the situation in the hall and their actions at that time. The data terminal also provided a very clear image record: the images it captured using its own functions were more accurate and direct than anyone's description.
After everyone recalled the situation, Hao Ren and Y'zaks found that there was nothing particularly eye-catching. It seemed that the Shadow of Chaos really appeared out of thin air for no reason.
But when everyone was confused, Bai Huo suddenly said thoughtfully: "If I have to say it...those shadows appeared when I was completely relaxed."
Hasselblad looked at his disciple: "Your hunter's intuition points to this clue?"
"Well, there should be some connection," Bai Huo nodded slightly and explained his feelings in detail, "When I completely lost my vigilance towards Hesperus around me, those shadows appeared."
Under Bai Huo's reminder, other demon hunters seemed to have noticed the violation just now. Even Hasselblad and Hesperius also remembered their relaxed state of mind at that moment. Hesperius even
Frankly said: "I seemed to have forgotten that Hasselblad was my enemy for a few minutes." (~^~)
