Chapter 120 The first meeting
“I turned around and picked it up.”
Milo was walking on the ruins carrying the reloaded revolver.
He originally thought that the collapsed mining field had blocked the exit of the underground cave, but to his surprise, on the other side of the hillside, the collapsed mining tunnel exposed large holes. These holes were It goes straight to the ground, which means that this side of the entire hillside has been emptied.
This also explains why a fire suddenly ignited in the small town. Milo could probably guess without going over to see that the worshipers must have turned out in droves.
Obviously, that monster is the contemporary leader of this group of worshipers who have been dormant for many years. It is different from these worshipers who have inherited the bloodline. It is a brand new species. The worshipers rushed out after hearing its cry. cave.
But all the way from the trap, he didn't meet any worshipers.
"It means they are not going to rescue monsters, so they can only go to Kai."
Milo turned back and glanced at the sky in the direction of the town, which was illuminated by fire. Under the dark clouds, I decided not to delay any longer.
While the underground cave is now empty, let’s go and see what the so-called rotten divine body is.
...
The collapsed underground passage has become as spacious as it was before. The old stone walls around it are covered with cracks, and the sneaky murals are also in ruins.
Milo twists and turns in the cave passage, and finally reaches the edge of the cliff of the underground cave. This is the other side of the cliff, but there are also winding stone steps circling down.
At this time, there was silence in the grotto.
He did not see any worshipers.
I no longer heard the heavy breathing of the nutrients on the plantation field, because they had been blown to pieces by Milo not long ago with a liquid bomb from Emma.
The current plantation is more like a disgusting cemetery, a cemetery piled up with broken limbs and countless mushroom debris, even those surrounded by mushroom bushes all year round. All the flies disappeared, and it is estimated that most of them were buried in the sea of fire.
After the flames extinguished, the cave was filled with a burning smell.
Milo walked cautiously on the gravel ground.
This is the fourth time he has come to this place, technically the second time, but he seems to know everything here well.
He knew that the deepest and darkest place was where the remains of the old god lay.
The ancient altar embedded deep in the stone wall.
The decayed divine body mentioned by the raven is in that position.
The culprit who has been whispering to the natives of Ikem and turning them into cannibal demons is deep within the altar.
Milo walked deeper step by step.
This time, as he went deeper, the sad emotions that belonged to Karl before his death began to flood into his heart.
Milo would occasionally fall into a trance.
But he quickly glanced at the revolver in his hand, confirming that it was the gun he personally selected, and then glanced sideways at the bleeding wound on his body that was wrapped with a tie.
All actions are just to confirm that he is Milo now, not Karl.
Because there is no buzzing of flies around now, Milo can only remind himself all the time that he cannot fall into the memory of the undead in a place like this.
...
When Milo got close enough to the altar, he finally heard a familiar voice.
"Plop...Plop..."
That was the sound that Karl heard when he was cornered here last time, like a heartbeat.
This further confirmed Milo’s conjecture.
There is also a living creature in the altar.
It is known that the worshipers have come out in droves and the new monsters are temporarily trapped in the trap, so what other living creatures can be found in the underground caves?
It can only be the so-called decayed divine body.
......
"You should borrow Rebecca's little kerosene lamp." The area around the altar was very dark and eerie, and Milo could only vaguely see the outlines of some objects.
He saw a shriveled female corpse lying flat on a coffin carved from stone. There was a hideous gap in its lower abdomen. The long exposure had caused the corpse to dry completely, almost It is inlaid on the sarcophagus.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the biological mother of the monster.
That is, the worshipers who have sex with the raven.
She died while giving birth to the monster, and her body was enshrined by worshipers.
According to Raven, he was also infected with mycelium, but because he gave new life to the old gods, the old gods took away the mycelium from him, and he survived.
But Carl didn’t do what Raven said. He chose to empty all the bullets in the gun chamber in front of the altar...
“It’s a good thing he didn’t attack young Kai. , I don’t want to have that kind of memory.”
Milo whispered, bypassing the sarcophagus and walking straight towards the depths of the altar.
When he was very close to the heartbeat.
Milo turned around suddenly and pointed his gun at a figure who appeared behind him at an unknown moment.
A very thin and short figure.
He did not shoot immediately because he felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, and that familiarity was not threatening.
Milo has seen this man before.
But she has not seen Milo.
...
"Plop...Plop..."
Only the sneaky heartbeat was still echoing in front of the altar.
Milo was silent for a long time and then asked first:
"Freya, right? I guessed it right."
He recognized the old, thin figure.
Walker has mentioned this elderly scholar many times. It was she who raised the abandoned Kai children.
Not long ago, Milo had just realized that the old woman he saw in Karl's undead perspective looking for the missing child was Freya.
The breakfast Milo had earlier today was prepared by Freya herself.
But this is the first time Milo has met each other.
This old man is now as mysterious as the raven in Milo's mind, because she is such a person who has always existed but has never been seen.
"Walker said that your legs and feet are not good in old age, but now you seem to be quite nimble."
While speaking, Milo glanced at the long cliff on the cliff behind. Stone steps.
"You shouldn't have taken that child away." Freya did not respond to Milo's words. She did not show any fear when facing Milo's gun, but slowly walked towards the altar:
“She has been gifted by a superior, and when the time comes, she should be allowed to do what she should do.”
Freya seemed to know everything that happened tonight.
She stopped in front of the altar, clasped her hands on her chest, and assumed an extremely pious posture.
Milo stared blankly at the old man in front of him. He slowly lowered his gun and shrugged:
“I actually thought you were the kind of good person who adopts children. My question."
"I have wanted to hear her call all my life, but those ignorant bloodline heirs regard this gift as a curse. You will not understand, you and the one three years ago. People are very similar, with pedantic and ignorant justice, sabotaging her arrival time and time again." Freya shook her head.
Milo also shook his head: "It seems that Walker is the only person in this town who is not crazy."
He raised the gun again and pointed it at the back of Freya's head:
"This way Well, before I shoot, tell me something about Kai, but I don’t have the patience, so you’d better speak plainly and don’t make too many vague criticisms.”
