Chapter 689: Heart-chilling
Hearing this sentence, Liu Sheng and Taibai Sword Immortal looked at each other, confused for a moment.
But the woman was suddenly shocked and seemed to understand something immediately.
After all, their minds have been connected together, so of course they can understand each other.
More importantly, this meant extreme fear for her.
"The priest is here!"
"No, the priest is here!"
The woman's expression suddenly became frightened, as if she had been greatly stimulated, and her body unconsciously shrank back, trying to find shelter.
But her body was so mutilated that she could only squirm weakly, like a trapped animal.
Taibai Sword Immortal: "The temple has finally come to work, but it is really slow."
Liu Sheng nodded slightly.
But this means that they may not need to intervene anymore.
The two were about to turn around and leave, but were stopped by the woman's confused whisper.
"What to do, what to do?"
"No, we can't be caught by them..."
"Disgusting!"
"Disgusting!"
These illogical, piled-up murmurs became more and more rapid as her emotions collapsed, changing from vague whispers to sharp wails.
As the voice rose, a large amount of strange energy began to escape from the woman's body, turning into black mist and spreading everywhere, instantly giving the surrounding area a cold and evil aura.
Liu Sheng frowned. She didn't expect that the arrival of the priest would accelerate the woman's transformation, and would even catalyze the emergence of evil spirits.
Obsession will catalyze weirdness.
For this woman, obsession may be to protect her from some kind of harm.
Thinking of this, Liu Sheng's eyes fell on the hollow in the woman's abdomen, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
……
Priest Hayik walked into this deep dirt alley again, still a little frightened in his heart.
The scattered pieces of meat and mottled blood came into view, making his hands and feet weak involuntarily.
However, he must not show any cowardice now, because High Priest Elaine is watching him from the side.
That scrutinizing gaze was like a needle shining on his back, making Hayik's whole body stiffen.
However, if it weren't for the presence of High Priest Elaine here, he would never set foot in this alley again.
When entering the deepest courtyard, High Priest Elaine spoke first, his voice cold and somewhat questioning: "You said that thing swallowed up all your divine servants and chased them out?"
Grand Priest Elaine is a middle-aged woman, wearing a red divine robe, which is very special. Although he likes to wear flaming colors, his cold-faced and cold-tongued temperament makes people stay away from him.
"Yes, I'm not telling you any lies!" Hayk straightened his back and tried to speak solemnly.
"Really?" Elaine raised her eyes and glanced around, with a trace of sarcasm on her lips, "Then why...didn't you see anything?"
Priest Hayik even trembled.
I saw that the yard was empty, except for blood stains on the ground and some scattered broken bones and flesh, there was nothing else.
Even the bed in the room was empty, with only a black human figure printed on the bed, indicating that someone had been lying here for a long time, and the old blood stains had formed its current shape.
"But, Great Priest, these traces can all show that there was something strange in the past!" Hayk explained eagerly, "And the passers-by can also prove it!"
"Are you talking about the passers-by who were left at the scene of the disaster without any protective measures?" High Priest Elaine smiled coldly again.
Hayik suddenly felt guilty and dared not speak.
Elaine sneered and said lightly: "Or do you see that it's not weird? In short, there is not even a little bit of weirdness here."
This sentence was like a basin of ice water poured on Hayik.
He looked around and tried to sense, but sure enough, he couldn't feel anything.
To say it was weird, maybe it was more like a tragic murder scene. Turning around, he happened to meet the cold gaze of High Priest Elaine, and Hayik felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Hayk knew that High Priest Elaine had always been unhappy with him, but because he was a junior of High Priest Will, he had to turn a blind eye.
Therefore, when Hayik rushed to the temple to break the news, he actually did not want to find her, but only wanted to find his uncle. Unexpectedly, he heard that his uncle had been in the royal city recently.
Hayk didn't know what his uncle was doing. He only knew that if he delayed for some more time to wait for his uncle, I'm afraid things would get worse and worse, and it wouldn't end well.
So he had no choice but to report to High Priest Elaine who was on duty in the temple today.
At this point, he could only hope that the other party would not pursue too much.
However, High Priest Elaine is really not easy to fool.
She took the priest duty registration book from the servant of the god, flipped through a few pages, and suddenly asked: "This dirt alley is not your jurisdiction. Ai Bo should be in charge. Why are you here today?"
Hayk was so anxious that he was sweating all over.
In the end, he fell to his knees with a plop as if he was crushed, and could only say with difficulty: "Ai Bo and I..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At this time, rapid footsteps were heard in the distance.
A disheveled priest with a flustered expression hurried over and knelt on the ground before he could stand still. "Great Priest, I am not feeling well today, so I asked Priest Hayik to take care of the believers in the area..."
The person who came was none other than Priest Aibo.
Elaine stared at Ai Bo coldly, her eyes as sharp as a knife, which made him tremble all over. Then she slowly took out another booklet, lowered her head and read it carefully.
While Elaine was flipping through the booklet, Ai Bo secretly glanced at Hayk, bared his teeth and cursed silently.
Immediately, he tried his best to put on an innocent expression and spoke slowly: "Priest Hayik should have informed the subordinate first if something like this happened."
Hayk shrank his neck, cold sweat dripping from his forehead along his cheeks.
"Tell you what?" Priest Elaine didn't even raise his head, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Please put on your clothes first."
Ai Bo looked down and found that the laces of his priest robe were tied in the wrong knot, and what was even worse was that there were bright red lipstick marks on them.
He hurriedly adjusted his clothes and wiped the red marks with his sleeves. Unexpectedly, the red mass became even more conspicuous, as if making fun of his futility.
"There is a sixteen-year-old girl living in this house, named Amina." Elaine finally raised her head, patted the booklet, and said sharply, "According to the records, she contracted a strange disease ten days ago. Why did she come here?" Haven’t you sent it to the temple for purification yet?”
Ai Bo swallowed his saliva and muttered: "Her situation... doesn't seem to be critical. And now the temple's colleagues who are purifying the strange disease have been busy for many days... so the official boldly thinks that maybe she can be temporarily Closed in the house to rest.”
"Yes, I often come here to visit and keep track of her situation!" Hayk quickly added.
Ai Bo glanced at him, but he also cooperated: "Yes, Priest Hayk is also enthusiastic. I think with the two of us here, there will be no mistakes..."
High Priest Elian sneered again, as if he knew their little Jiujiu very well.
"What's the result? Isn't this already wrong?"
Her words were like a cold blade, piercing their hearts.
"You and I both know that this strange disease is not the strange disease in the past. It has become extremely dangerous after ten days of development. Once it breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable! How dare you delay?"
The two were tortured until their faces turned pale, and they lay prone on the ground, sweating like rain.
"What's more..."
Elaine paused for a moment and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"According to your description, even the surrounding residents were affected and swallowed up... The level of this outbreak is obviously far beyond the norm, and even close to a disaster."
She raised her head and glanced at the two of them like a razor blade: "If it weren't for external stimulation, this mortal woman would never have developed to this easily."
"Or...this may be multiple weird outbreaks at the same time."
"There is probably something... on this woman."
Every time High Priest Elaine said something, an extra layer of cold sweat formed on the backs of Hayk and Ai Bo, making them look particularly embarrassed in the winter.
Elaine suddenly shouted coldly: "So, can you explain?"
The two of them shrank for a moment, not even daring to say a word of defense.
The cold wind seeped through the gaps in the dilapidated house, and the biting chill made them shiver involuntarily.
