Chapter 117 The Chosen of the Evil God
It's itchy, it's so itchy!
Essoke couldn't help scratching his cheek, but directly tore off a piece of flesh. He stared blankly at his blood-soaked palm, but he couldn't feel a trace of pain. The unbearable itching on his face disappeared and was replaced by It is a kind of comfort that is difficult to describe in words.
However, he was terrified in his heart. This feeling of extreme fragmentation made Essoke feel as if his mind was divided into two parts. Another whisper from the depths of his mind kept telling him about the greatness of Heavenly Father, asking him to embrace this thing that belongs to Heaven. A gift from the Father.
Become a son of your Heavenly Father and you will gain so much more!
Must escape!
Another consciousness brought Essoke back to reality, but before that... He looked fiercely at the thugs in the corner.
The thug looked at Essoke's appearance and laughed. He smiled gloatingly and widened his eyes, as if he wanted to witness with his own eyes the moment Essoke fell into hell.
Essoke angrily wanted to point the gun at the opponent, but found that the pistol had fallen to the ground at some point. This subconscious action also allowed him to see his arms. His five fingers were missing, replaced by The tentacles covered with barbs had cracks torn open, and new granulations were growing out of these cracks.
He was so frightened by this scene that he screamed, almost without looking back, he knocked open the door and ran towards the way he came.
Essoke's scream triggered a chain reaction. All the investigators he met along the way were afraid to avoid him as if they had encountered a ghost. Some people were so frightened by him that they fell to the ground.
You... what are you doing?
A bunch of thugs!
Sooner or later I will kill you!
Essoke didn't stop. Before he could liquidate these people, he must find a cure for the Red Death!
Yes, that's right, he's going to find the new investigator and order him to cure himself.
If it can't be cured, kill him and that strange cat!
Kill, kill them all!
He ran all the way downstairs to the Asylum, meeting fewer and fewer people along the way, and the noisy screams finally stopped. However, the first floor of the hall was already empty. This sudden silence intensified Essoke's mood. Out of fear, he just stood at the door of the branch and was greeted by countless eyes.
Not only was the Musketeer Team he brought there, but there were also investigators from the Conservancy Bureau, the Royal Army, and even the priests from the Holy See. Everyone had the same look in their eyes, even the Musketeer Team was no exception. Contrary to their conditioned reflex, All the barrel crossbows were pointed at him at this moment.
Tricky people, a group of unruly people! I am Essoke!
He roared and took a step forward, and the gunfire rang out almost at the same time. Essoke saw the barrel of the gun spitting out tongues of fire, and saw the priests starting to pray, gathering silver-white energy together.
The projectiles hitting him were light and had no real feeling.
Essoke finally found the investigator with the cat sitting on his shoulder in the crowd. He saw the expression of the white cat. It squinted and smiled, tilting its head to mockingly appreciate everything that was going on at the moment. Logically speaking, he You're not supposed to understand a cat's expression!
Then, his eyes moved to the face of the investigator with the cat.
Heal me!
He ran towards the other party desperately, but the investigator's lips moved and said silently to him, "It's hopeless. It can't be cured. Goodbye, Essoke."
More gunshots rang out, and the silver-white light gathered by the priests struck Esoke.
He still couldn't feel the pain, but his movements slowed down.
A bunch of idiots, haven’t you noticed yet?
That new investigator is a believer of the evil god!
Esoke roared, but people only heard incomprehensible whispers, which clearly reached everyone's ears.
The forward steps finally stopped and he fell to the ground.
Essoke saw the joy from the bottom of his heart on everyone's face, which was the joy of surviving the disaster.
Before his vision fell into endless darkness, Essoke saw the officers of the Royal Army and the chief priest of the Holy See in Gear City solemnly expressing their gratitude to the new investigators - thanks to the young investigator's reminder, they were able to discover the evil god's creation. Kill them before they can injure them.
Essoke also seemed to see a woman at the end of the crowd, wearing a black magister robe and heavy makeup. He felt that his consciousness was gradually dissipating. Before the last light disappeared, he looked at the woman.
Save...me...
However, this time, the woman did not help him as always, but instead raised the corner of her mouth, leaving him with a malicious ridicule. The last ray of light was extinguished.
The gravedigger, the branch director with a square face like Steve, stood in the crowd, observing Ethan who was talking loudly with the officers and chief chaplain. This was his duty, but at least on the issue of the Red Death , the abilities displayed by this newcomer are much more professional than his A-level investigator.
It’s really embarrassing.
The Gravedigger was very relieved. Since the end of the Fallen War, everyone knew that the empire was getting worse and worse, but fortunately, when danger came, there were always people like Ethan who stood up.
I really want to keep such a young man in Gear City and train him well!
It's a pity that it cannot be cultivated.
The night Ethan arrived in Gear City, the eldest lady of the Margaret family sent him a letter. In the letter, she was full of praise for Ethan's work ability, and at the same time politely asked him not to play with Ethan's ideas. .
Ethan was destined to return to Ximu Town. For him, the trip to Gear City was just a field trip.
The gravedigger saw Ivy's little thoughts. How could this be training new recruits for the Asylum? It was clear that she was just using the shelter as a platform to train her own deputies. When she returned to the imperial capital one day in the future, she would definitely bring Ethan with her.
He could only envy Ivy for being able to recruit such a newcomer from a border town.
The conversation between Ethan and others was also coming to an end. He made full use of his knowledge of the T virus, and based on this, he magically modified a Red Death infection system. He used Essoke as an example, describing him as People infected in the second stage are more contagious than those infected in the first stage. Once a wound is torn by it, they will almost certainly be infected with the Red Death.
But at the same time, the second-stage infected people are the key to overcoming the Red Death. The key to curing the disease is most likely hidden in the twisted flesh of the infected people.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It is foreseeable that in the next long period of time, the Gear City Branch will have something to do.
On the issue of preventing the Red Death, the Holy See in Gear City and the Royal Army have reached a strategic alliance.
Sitting on Ethan's shoulder, Lingdong silently observed everything that was happening, and suddenly felt that Ethan was much scarier than the Holy See or the Tribunal.
Those people can only fabricate evidence, and many times it cannot withstand scrutiny, and anyone with a discerning eye can see through it at a glance.
But when Ethan accuses someone of being the evil god's creation, that person will really become the evil god's creation and be witnessed by countless people in public, without even needing Ethan to do it himself, others will rush to eliminate them.
Essoke eventually died under the guns of imperial military production.
Ethan actually fulfilled his promise and let him "parade", and then he was shot to death by people.
Even if she hadn't known about the upgrading effect of Ethan's ice element in advance, she would probably treat Essoke as a real creation of the evil god.
Both the appearance and the manic chatter seem to be in the same vein as the old artist Bazatos.
This made Lingdong a little worried. Ethan's aesthetics seemed to be assimilated by Bazatos.
It seems...
In the future, I will use maid costumes to eliminate the influence of the evil god's aesthetic on Ethan.
