Chapter 200 The Priest
The dusty look on his face is interesting. He holds the wine glass in his hand, but does not drink it. He just turns it from time to time, as if he is more interested in the glass than the story told by the blond man.
No one cares about Chen Ran, Jiang Cheng is thinking about the feasibility of the blond man's story, and Fatty has been deeply attracted by the strangeness in the blond man's story.
Taking a deep breath, the blond man's mood eased slightly.
Although so much time has passed, looking back, the horrific, even weird and absurd scenes are still vivid in my mind.
"They're all dead," Jiang Cheng repeated calmly, as if he was telling himself.
The blond man paused and turned his head to look at the boundless darkness around the town. After a long time, he said in a cold voice: "It would be fine if he died."
The fat man heard this. He pursed his lips, as if he anticipated what would happen next.
Jiang Cheng quietly took a sip of the astringent wine. After putting down the glass, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"We want to get close to the stone plate and take away the townspeople. "After the corpse, something happened," the blond man replied, "We were attacked."
"Are they the dead people?"
The blond man looked at Jiang Cheng, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes, but he obviously failed. "That's right," the blond man nodded, "They are weird They came back to life and then attacked us like crazy."
"Less than a third of our people escaped. What's even more terrifying is that they killed the corpses of the townspeople they killed. Re-stacked on the stone plate."
< br>At this point, the blond man's breathing became rapid again, "You can't imagine that some townspeople had their limbs and even heads cut off. Those townspeople who came back from the dead were so powerful that they could stop people with their bare hands. Tear into pieces. "
"And those torn corpses were able to come back to life shortly after being placed on the stone plate, and their injuries disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened. ”
"What does this have to do with that building you built?" Chenran put down the wine glass he was playing with and looked at the blond man, "I don't understand."
The fat man swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice: "That building Can buildings resist. Resist those things?”
“No,” the blond man shook his head, “That building was built by a man who called himself a priest, and his ship sank nearby. , he was the only one who survived, and we found him on a wooden board by the sea."
"According to him, he was going to preach on the other side of the ocean."
"At. After we told him about the strange things that happened in the forest, he bluntly said that it was all destined. The reason why he did not die in the shipwreck was because he came to help us. This was his mission."
"Based on our description, he judged that the stone plate in the forest was an altar, offering sacrifices to the unclean things sleeping in the deep sea. What's even more terrifying is that he said it had probably awakened."
"Those people who are resurrected from the dead are the product of the spread of the curse. If it continues, I am afraid that no one will be spared."
"Only It is impossible to fight against it by relying on the power of him and us. Only by building a grand building that he needs and relying on the power of the church can we truly fight against it and lift the curse."
The church.
< br>The fat man recalled the style of the building. Although he didn't understand it, it was indeed similar to the church in his impression.
"It seems that they failed in the end," Jiang Cheng said without hesitation. He looked around. This strange sea city might be their last shelter.
And they didn’t see the so-called pastor.
"We built this building as we wished," the blond man said with profound eyes, "As long as...as long as the pilot light on the lighthouse burns brightly, we can be saved."
"But. Unexpectedly, on the last day, On the last day! Something happened to the pastor."
"He was killed by that monster!" As if remembering the tragic situation at that time, the blond man looked horrified, "No, it wasn't just killing, it was eating. Dropped! He was eaten!"
Monster
The fat man's eyes widened. How could he remember that the last time the blond man mentioned this word, he was talking about a child, or more specifically, a newborn baby in the town.
"That's not a child, it's a monster!" The blond man growled, "That's it, it ate the priest! The attempt to break the curse failed in the end!"
"That monster planned it first. After the death of its parents, the pastor saw that it was pitiful and adopted it, but it actually took advantage of the pastor's feeding time."
"Wait a minute!"
Almost at the same time, Jiang Cheng and Chenran, who was always squinting, spoke at the same time.
"The priest is a woman?"
The blond man was stunned for a moment, and then slowly said, "Yes, the priest is a woman. The monster took advantage of her to get close to the priest. Finally he ate her."
Chenran looked at Jiang Cheng. He glanced at it, then turned his head and nodded to the blond man, "I understand, please continue."
After a long while, the blond man came out of his memories. For a moment, this strong man seemed old. A lot, he hunched over and stared at the empty wine glass.
"The priest died, the flame on the lighthouse went out, and the curse finally broke out. The earth sank and the sea rose. Our original town was invaded by the curse and turned into a town floating on the ocean."
“All day long Surrounded by a strange black fog, we can no longer see the sun. We can only live in darkness and humidity, and only when shrouded in black fog can we come to the shore."
"Like. Damn sea reptile!" he said viciously.
"That is to say, you can only see us and move on the shore after the black fog covers this space." Jiang Cheng said according to his own understanding.
“That’s right.”
"Then what does daytime look like to us in your eyes?"
"It's just a black mist, covering a small area around our town, surrounded by the sea, but not in the true sense. In the sea, no one dares to go into the sea by boat, because even the people and the boat will disappear without a trace. We can only use the most traditional way to fish offshore, or fish for some fish and shrimps. Trying to maintain a living."
At this point, the blond man looked at the fish, shrimps and crabs on the table and said with some heartache: "These are already the best food we can provide."
He looked around, and Jiang Cheng and others followed his gaze. There was not as much food on the tables of other townspeople as they were, and some even only had a few strange-looking fish.
It seems that the life of the townspeople has become difficult to a certain extent.
"Those in the forest."
Before the fat man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the blond man. He took a long breath, and his tone was a little relaxed for the first time, "I have to thank the priest for this. ”
