In the alley, the situation has undergone a huge reversal. Compared to before, Renn's expression is much more relaxed.
"Why can't I turn you over to the security forces?"
"Impossible!" Andel waved his hand violently, "You are against them. You just want to use them to find me. How can you really reach cooperation with them!?"
Renn smiled, and his expression reminded Andel of the day when he fell into the trap of the female detective. Renn's expression at that time was almost the same.
"Mr. Andel, it seems that you still haven't figured out one thing. I did break many rules, but I have never regarded myself as an unruly person, nor have I ever considered myself to be on the opposite side of the rules.
"
"I stand on the side of justice."
"Bringing you to justice now is justice!"
After hearing these words, Andel pointed a finger at Ren, and the flesh on his face seemed to be shaking with anger. At the same time, his breathing became more and more obvious, and he made a "whoosh" sound. Ren was a little worried about him.
Will he be so angry that he will die?
until……
"Um?"
He noticed that Andel's eyes began to widen again, and it seemed as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. Soon they were already two round eyeballs. Moreover, the pupils were extremely large, leaving only a small circle of light yellow.
The whites of eyes.
At the same time, Andel's exposed skin also began to grow feathery gray-brown down. In just over ten seconds, what appeared in front of Ren was a man wearing human clothes, covered with feathers, and with an owl's head.
monster.
"This is the kind of curse that has appeared recently! No, this state is the source of the curse!"
The alarm sounded loudly in Ren's heart. After witnessing Andel's changes, he also felt that his body was affected. The skin all over his body was itchy, as if something was about to come out from underneath, and his eyes seemed to be filled with blood.
It was bloody and the pain was so severe that he wanted to close his eyes, but he couldn't stop it.
What made him even more aware of something bad was that some vague shadows began to appear in his vision. As his eyes opened wider, those shadows became clearer and clearer.
At first they were like a group of aimless ghosts, some even passed through Ren's body directly. When their silhouettes became clear enough, these shadows actually avoided Ren.
"Qiang~"
The armor in Ren's body suddenly appeared at this time, and the familiar power protected him and suppressed the restlessness in his body.
This isn't a curse at all...
Renn, who had personally experienced similar power, finally realized what he was facing now.
Fortunately, Andel was not the original owner of this power. Renn felt that he could barely resist for a while, but when he faced that power, he almost died even with armor.
"Welcome to the world of the dead."
At this time, the monster opposite spoke, and Andel's voice, which had turned into an owl, became a little strange.
"The world of the dead?"
Ren looked around and found that although he was still in the same alley as before, nothing seemed to have changed, but he could feel that there was something different about this alley.
Especially when there are translucent black figures whose appearance cannot be seen clearly passing by.
Renn looked at Andel with a solemn expression: "Do you know what power you are using now?"
It can't be wrong.
Renn knew where Andel's strange power came from, and he was deeply impressed by his experience on the archaeological ship at sea.
There he encountered a giant white wolf and almost lost his life. Alexia told him afterwards that it was a "god" worshiped by the ancients and could not be resisted by human power.
During that experience, Lane also obtained a note from archaeological team member Aikman, which also gave him some judgment on the power of these "gods".
These "gods" will radiate their power from the inside out, affecting the lives around them, and it is difficult to say whether this influence is good or bad.
Just like the civilization that sank to the bottom of the sea, maybe the power of the wolf was not so violent at that time. People built a kingdom around it and continued to grow with the help of the power radiated by the white wolf.
The people of the kingdom became extremely powerful through this power, but as the influence worsened, their appearance also changed. From ordinary humans, only the proportions of their limbs changed at first, then they became half-human and half-wolf, and finally
It will even transform into a complete wolf form.
From Ren's own personal experience, it is probably not just their appearance that has changed, but perhaps their humanity is also gradually disappearing.
And now, Andel may have been infected with similar power from somewhere. Looking at his huge owl head, he may have been deeply affected.
…
"Of course I know what power this is."
Andel, whose entire head was completely deformed, had no way of knowing his expression at this time, and even his tone of voice could not tell whether he was happy or angry. He would even make bird sounds like "Cuckoo~" from time to time when he spoke.
.But such a sound coming from the mouth of an upright "birdman" in a suit and leather shoes will not make people feel interesting, it will only make people's hair stand on end.
"Of course I know what kind of power this is." Andel took out a clay owl statue from his clothes and held it in his hand. The statue seemed to be made of gray clay, but the two round eyes were made of flesh and blood.
Yes, indescribably weird.
"This idol was something I saw and found out from some of their secret books after disguising myself as Ellenville. That probably happened when the seventh Archbishop was in office, and a forerunner of the sect was out.
During the adventure, I obtained this thing from the shaman of a remote tribe and brought it back to Kalsham, and the sect secretly enshrined the statue."
"Offer?" Renn seemed to have heard something incredible.
"Yes, are you surprised that Kalsham would enshrine such statues of gods? But that's the fact. Of course, they just maintain a sense of awe, not worship. In fact, they call these 'gods'
'The back of the sun'. Karsham once used this idol to test whether a person's belief is firm. The betrayer can't hide under these eyes. This is the 'light on the back of the sun'!"
Ren shook his head: "Look at what you look like now, this is not a good thing."
"It doesn't matter." Andel's head turned at a strange angle, probably to show his current thoughts in this way: "There are only two of us now, Ren, you must fight with me, Gu~~
