Chapter 121 The Broken Body
“Kai is the last aboriginal who can hear the call. She will become the cradle for the birth of the superior. The child three years ago was not mature yet, and neither was the hybrid in the cave. Mature, they are not ready yet, now is the time, you should join us, after the superior comes, you and I will be her most trusted attendants..."
Bang.
After a gunshot.
Freya closed her mouth forever.
Milo shook off the light smoke coming from the muzzle of the gun:
"Okay, they are all perverts."
He did not take another look at Freya's body.
Many of the titles Kai spoke of were ones that Milo had never heard of, such as superior, hybrid, and attendant.
This is somewhat different from what the raven said, but the meaning should be the same. The superior is the corrupt old god, the hybrid is the son of the raven, and the attendant may be the new generation. of worshipers.
What surprised Milo was that there were still people in this world who were looking forward to joining the ranks of worshipers. It can only be said that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
No matter Freya is a believer in a heretical sect or a crazy scholar, if she can say that, Milo has no reason to let her continue to live.
"I take back what I said before."
Milo muttered, turned around and walked towards the depths of the altar.
He himself once said that the person enshrined in the church hall should be a good person like Freya instead of a golden tree...
It all seems like a joke now.
……
Deep in the altar.
Milo thought he would see some half-dead old god.
In his pre-imagination, he had roughly figured out the opponent's appearance, such as a ferocious-looking tentacle monster or other types of monsters.
But what surprised him was that lying on a stone platform covered with twisted reliefs was a heart wrapped by countless fleshy vines.
That’s all.
The body of the owner of the heart has completely decayed. Its huge body has merged with the stone platform, weathered and shriveled, and its original form cannot be seen at all.
Only a huge heart was left hanging on the stone platform, beating rhythmically.
Milo could clearly see the capillaries on the outer membrane of the ventricle, with many tiny hyphae wriggling inside.
This result did not surprise Milo.
Even a little disappointing.
Because before entering the altar, Milo was actually ready for a fierce battle.
But the so-called remnant body of the old god only has a beating heart, without any aggression...
......
It's like a rotten person who doesn't want to leave the world, lingering here.
The worshipers who inherited its bloodline regard it as a god, and even scholars like Raven and Freya regard it as some kind of noble existence.
Maybe it’s because Milo is ignorant, or maybe it’s because he can’t hear the other party’s call.
Anyway, he does not have any awareness to face the gods.
He couldn't feel anything noble about this lump of beating rotten meat. No matter what angle he looked at, he couldn't feel a trace of awe.
"Is this one thing that has kept Ikem from getting rid of the curse for so long?"
Milo felt a little ridiculous.
He walked around the stone platform in the altar and found nothing special.
The so-called inheritance of the old gods is simply a group of crazy people, holding some twisted beliefs, doing messy things in the name of the old gods.
Milo now has reason to suspect that the voices heard by the pilgrims who have abandoned their human identity are all imaginary...
No matter so much.
Milo unloaded Walker's backpack, took out the huge metal lunch box, and then pulled out the bowie knife.
......
That hybrid is the monster born from the raven. Milo never understood why he said that before falling into the trap - give her back to me.
Now he can probably understand why Karl failed to get Kai out of the underground cave three years ago, but Kai survived safely to this day.
What the hybrid wants to do is actually similar to what the raven does, but he didn't have the ability to do it three years ago.
But none of this matters.
Milo used the blade to cut the heart out of the stone platform.
To be cautious, he did not touch the heart with his hands, but pried it directly into the lunch box with the blade of a knife.
...
In a small town in the distance.
The trend of siege against law enforcement offices was shattered the moment Milo took out the heart.
At this point Rebecca is back on top of the roof.
The black windbreaker on her body was wet and covered with a lot of blood, a small part of which came from her own wounds.
What she held in her hand was a combined trick weapon.
A short bow with sharp broken blades on both sides.
This is a weapon that Milo saw hanging on her waist before. At that time, Milo thought it was some kind of melee weapon, but what he didn't know was that the weapon could also be used as a long-range weapon after it was released. Use range weapons.
Rebecca kept shooting arrows to intercept the worshipers who wanted to get closer to the office.
Although she is reckless, she is not brainless.
After noticing that the bodies of the worshipers were strangely strengthened, Rebecca immediately chose to retreat, distanced herself, and then used long-range shooting to delay time.
Every time the tight bowstring is pulled open, it means that a worshiper's head will be shot through.
But in just a moment, those pilgrims with clear goals suddenly fell into madness.
They each held their heads and knelt down on the ground, looking towards the deep south and wailing in pain.
The sound was fierce and piercing.
Rebecca was stunned when she saw the strange scene in front of her.
But she did not dare to let down her guard, and the bow blade in her hand still maintained its ready-to-go posture.
The worshipers who had lost their will to fight seemed to have suffered some kind of terrifying mental attack. They howled and struggled, and Rebecca was no longer in their eyes.
......
It was nearly an hour after the collapse of the mining site. Finally, when the town was completely in chaos, the black trench coats from Galeed City arrived.
No matter how unpopular the cursed Ikem is, if such a large-scale ground collapse occurs, the city must be able to hear it, and the law enforcement officials cannot just sit idly by and watch.
Countless black trench coats riding horses poured into the town along the main road.
The bloody hunting operation of the pilgrims has been completely terminated here.
Law enforcement officers took control of the scene.
They were very fast, because the distance from Galid City to Iqim was very long. They arrived in less than an hour, which shows that these guys came well prepared. .
Rebecca knew very well.
This is Nero’s back-up plan.
It is impossible for him to let two of his men fight alone in Ikem. At least in this situation, the large force of law enforcement officers must come forward.
Rebecca half-knelt on the roof, slowly lowering the bow blade in her hand.
But her expression only relaxed briefly for a moment, and then she turned her gaze again to the barren mountains in the deep south.
Kai is safe for now.
But Milo and Mogot are still in the barren mountains, where there are terrifying monsters and people from the Solomon Gang.
