Chapter 525 Flame Monster
Late at night.
City District, Queen Street.
Walking on this street, Mary's mood was extremely complicated.
It was just like that night ten days ago when she and Charlie were going home together and passed by here. What Xia Li wanted to tell herself at that time... now, she already knows everything.
But Mary still doesn't understand why Charlie wants to pursue the Tatar Gate? The judge didn’t know much about what the Gate of Tartar was. According to the records in mythology, the Gate of Tartar was the gate of hell controlled by Hecate, the goddess of the underworld. As a talented woman from the History Department, she had no idea about these things. Mary knew the fairy tale very well.
But...she still didn't understand why Charlie did this.
Does Charlie want to resurrect someone? But everyone we know is safe, right? I haven't heard of anyone passing away?
Or, what disease did Charlie have? However, generally speaking, if you are sick, you should go to the hospital first. At the worst, you should tell yourself and Ashay. Why would she take the initiative to find an outsider like Professor Capek instead?
Mary was puzzled. She couldn't understand Charlie's behavior at all. In her heart, she, Charlie and Ashay were the closest friends. The three of them talked about almost everything. Even if Charlie didn't come to her when something happened, she should go to Ashay. Why would she go to Dr. Capek?
Duanmuhuai also mentioned this question when chatting with her. Capek has a doctorate in mechanics and sociology. Logically speaking, no matter what trouble Charlie encounters, she would not go to him.
But only if she doesn't know Professor Capek's true identity.
If Charlie knew from the beginning that Professor Capek was a guest at Silver Dusk House, then it would be a matter of course for her to go to Professor Capek!
So, how did Charlie know this?
Who told her?
Mary felt like her head was boiling. To be honest, of course she also knew that Charlie and Ashay were orthodox aristocratic ladies, while she was just a middle-class child in comparison. The two of them also often attended dance parties among high-ranking nobles. Maybe Charlie learned about it...but...
"Dingle bell!"
Just when Mary was puzzled, suddenly, the ringtone of the communicator she carried suddenly rang, which startled Mary. She hurriedly picked up the communicator and connected.
However, to Mary's surprise, what came out from the communicator was the voice of her friend Ashelika.
"Mary? Mary! Great, where are you now? Not with Professor Capek!"
"Ah, no, I...I..."
Faced with her friend's inquiry, Mary was naturally a little embarrassed. She wanted to say that she was still in the apartment, but then she thought that Ashay would immediately know that she was lying if she called Mrs. Hydeson in the apartment, so she directly changed her tone. .
"I'm on my way home, what's wrong?"
"Great!"
Hearing Mary's answer, Ashelika also breathed a sigh of relief.
"There should be police nearby. Find the police officer immediately and ask him to send a car to take you back to school or home! Remember, never go out!"
"What happened? Ashay?"
Mary also became uneasy when she heard her friend's voice being so nervous.
"I heard that someone was killed again tonight! The murderer is in the urban area! The police have completely sealed off the area...Mary..."
However, before Ashelika finished speaking, her communication seemed to be interrupted and became intermittent. But for Mary, that was enough.
Another person was killed!
Who did it this time? Are you also a member of Dr. Capek's research group?
As for the police…………
Mary looked around. It was as dead as ten days ago. Only the light of gas lamps lit up the darkness on both sides of the street. No one could be seen, but this time, Mary was not as nervous and uneasy as that time, because she knew that Duanmu Huai and Lorena were hiding not far away, protecting her.
And the call from Ashay stated that someone had been killed... So, would he be next?
"…………Huh…………"
As if to verify Mary's conjecture, a strange heat emerged from behind Mary. Mary clenched her fists, then slowly turned her head - and then she saw the street not far behind her. Above, a terrifying monster was standing there, staring at it fiercely.
It looked like a human and a gecko, with flames burning all over its body, and in the flames, what frightened Mary even more were the bright red eyes that seemed to be made of blood!
This monster with bright red eyes all over its body just stared at Mary without hiding the greed and desire in its eyes!
"Golden Eyes...Give me...Golden Eyes...!"
Like the previous steel giant, this flame monster also let out a shuddering and frightening roar at this moment. But this time, Mary did not choose to escape. She stared at the flame monster and gritted her teeth.
"I will never give it to you! If you want it, just come and get it yourself!!"
After saying this, Mary turned around and ran deeper into the street, and the flame monster roared and chased after him!
Just like that, a chase begins again!
Of course, this scene was also seen by Duanmu Huai and Lorena.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, these golden eyes are really awesome..."
Looking at Mary who was escaping, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. Mary may not have noticed that, in fact, when she turned around and ran, the flames on the flame monster burst out and rushed towards Mary. However, the flame that could even burn the asphalt ground dissipated the moment it touched Mary, and Mary herself seemed to feel nothing at all...
Duanmu Huai also saw the body of the previous victim. It was burned to char. It was obvious that this was the ability of the flame monster. However, this time the flame monster tried to repeat its old trick, but failed again, so he could only chase after it on its own four legs...
How can I put it, this golden eye is really the nemesis of these monsters.
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai also nodded secretly. Fortunately, the players in the game did not discover the ability of Golden Eyes, otherwise wouldn't that be crazy? You must know that unless the real world has been eroded to a certain stage, the evil gods in subspace can only harm people through various magic and sorcery. With golden eyes, they can directly resist these magic and sorcery, making them completely ineffective. . If the players knew that they had this ability, they would be really crazy and want to snatch it away.
After all, as long as you have golden eyes, you won’t even pay attention to any of the four evil gods, and you can fight even against Yugnaia...
But it's a pity that it's not him who has golden eyes now, but Mary.
What should I say about this young lady... She has a strong will, but she is an ordinary person after all. Duanmu Huai is also considering whether to invite her to join the tribunal.
In fact, considering the strength of Golden Eyes, there is no problem for Mary to join the Tribunal. Although she has little fighting power, the golden eyes themselves can ensure that Mary is basically immune to magic and sorcery. If you want to kill her, you can only rely on physical attacks. However, apart from anything else, the Inquisition has abundant means of resisting physical attacks. But compared to others, Mary is too ordinary.
This is not a derogatory term. Every one of those currently joining the Tribunal has experienced many bloody battles.
Even Sydney ran away from Raccoon City, which was full of zombies.
To be honest, only Mary Rose and Enoguo have not seen any crisis, but they are only non-staff personnel of the Tribunal. They are mainly responsible for helping Duanmu Huai manage Venus Island, and are not responsible for fighting. Most of them are responsible for wearing swimsuits and playing volleyball on the beach.
As for what kind of volleyball to play - this is a matter of opinion.
But this Mary Clarissa Christie is different. With the power of the golden eye, Duanmu Huai will definitely put her on the front line in the future. After all, the golden eye can see through all illusions, which means that the treacherous pink demon is All monsters are basically controlled by Mary. No matter what they look like, Mary can see through the entities of these monsters at a glance.
It can be seen that this must be useful in combat.
But the question is...whether Mary herself has this idea.
Duanmuhuai looked at Mary and shook his head slightly. In his opinion, this girl was not like Xueli. She had a firm mind and lofty aspirations because she had experienced a biological crisis. For Mary, although she is strong and brave, she still has the character of a little girl. If she and her friends were not involved in this incident, I am afraid Mary would not want to take any action. And it is very dangerous to confront the followers of the evil god on the front line. If Mary did not have this idea and took her there, it would be equivalent to letting her die.
Not to mention that if something goes wrong and the evil god gets the golden eyes, it will be like losing both his wife and his troops.
Take another look.
If it were anyone else, Duanmu Huai might have just given up, but the Golden Eyes are so powerful... It can be said to be omnipotent, and judging from Mary's performance, the Golden Eyes don't seem to have any side effects. Except that it would turn her into a monk being chased by monsters, it was almost all good and no bad.
Ability to automatically parse ancient texts.
Able to see through phantoms.
Completely resistant to warp magic.
If Mary's own physical fitness wasn't too average, this would have been Long Aotian's script.
Forget it, after everything is over, I will invite Mary again and see if she will become a member of the Tribunal.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also put away his thoughts and looked forward.
"The fish has bitten the hook, let's do it!"
"Okay, Mr. Knight!"
At this moment, Mary naturally didn't know what Duanmu Huai was thinking. She just ran forward with all her strength, and then ran forward again. Duanmuhuai has already told Mary that this dark city is like the spider web of these monsters. When these monsters want to kill people, they must expand this space and then lock the other person inside so that they are not afraid of being disturbed. .
But conversely, the same goes for monsters.
If they show up directly as soon as the monster appears, they are likely to disturb the monster. If it directly leaves the dark city and returns to the real world, it will be difficult to find it again. After all, there are so many people in reality, where can we find them?
That's why they need Mary as a bait to lure the other party directly into the depths of the Dark City. In this way, Mary can't escape, and neither can the monster.
Like now!
"Roar————!!!"
Although the flame monster has four legs, Mary has retained her running experience during the past few days of Spartan training by Lorena. In addition, the fire monster's flames had no effect on Mary because of its golden eyes. It was forced to chase Mary on its own four legs just like the previous steel monster, and it couldn't catch up for a while.
But the flame monster obviously didn't intend to give up. Just after hearing its roar, the next moment I saw several hounds that were also burning with flames split from the flame monster. They let out a terrifying wailing sound and rushed towards Mary. past!
"Woof woof woof!!!"
Hearing the barking from behind, Mary quickened her pace. Fortunately, at this moment, Mary saw Lorena appear from the front and run towards her.
"Miss Lorena!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Mary, leave it to us!"
"Huh?"
Seeing Lorena running towards her, Mary was overjoyed at first, and then immediately became nervous. After all, in her opinion, Lorena was similar to her friend Ashelika, a petite girl with a similar age. How can a girl who is not that big and doesn’t have a weapon deal with these terrifying monsters?
Thinking of this, Mary quickly turned around and looked at Lorena, and then she saw a scene that stunned her.
"Woof woof woof!!!"
Facing Lorena, these flaming vicious dogs also had no intention of giving up. Soon, I saw a flaming vicious dog flying at the front, roaring and jumping up, opening its bloody mouth and facing Luolei. Na's throat was bitten! Seeing this scene, Mary suddenly became nervous.
"Miss Lorena, be careful!"
However, just as Mary finished speaking, a scene that shocked her appeared.
Faced with the flaming vicious dog rushing towards her, Lorena did not hesitate. She grasped the holy scripture that she had been holding in her arms, raised it high, and then smashed it directly on the flaming vicious dog's head!
"Bang!!"
Only a dull crash was heard, and the next moment Mary saw the ferocious flame dog being knocked to the ground by Lorena's book, and its head exploded like a firework, turning into a ball of flames and dissipating in the air. into the air. Then Lorena suddenly turned around and swung the sacred book in her hand like a windmill, instantly swatting away several other flaming vicious dogs.
“……………………”
Seeing this scene, Mary was shocked.
Is it possible that exercise can produce such an effect? ?
