Chapter 153 The aftermath of the disaster and the evil ritual


Chapter 153: Evil Ritual for the Remaining Life

Blood Cliff.

Warehouse area near the port.

In the dark environment, a candle lighted up, reflecting Jalal's pale expression.

He turned back to look at the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps under his command. Most of them were injured, and the strong smell of blood filled the simple warehouse.

Fortunately, no one died, but the injuries were serious and minor.

But the atmosphere was a little gloomy, like a group of wounded beasts silently licking their wounds.

Jalal's eyes fell on Huo Jixing. Although he felt like he was going to survive a disaster, he wanted to ask what happened in Mouli Castle.

"Mouli IV is dead. He has dedicated himself to blood magic." Huo Jixing leaned against the wall with a solemn expression.

“I saw the abandoned experimental site in the secret room of his study.”

"Blood magic rituals were once performed inside."

Huo Jixing took out the parchment he found and handed it to Jalal.

"This is an experiment log, a little bit damaged."

Jalal took it, lowered his head to read through it, his pale expression became more and more gloomy: "Scarlet Secret Society, blood magic!"
< br>"What happened over there? Why were you attacked by the city guards?" Huo Jixing turned to look at the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps in the warehouse.

"The specifics are not clear. I suspect that they were looking for the cause of Butum's death and accidentally found the tavern."

Jalal sighed lightly, and the Reese Guard Secretariat he was responsible for was destroyed in this way.

The simple warehouse now is a safe house he built as a retreat.

Huo Jixing looked helpless when he saw Jalal's faint gaze.

This battle happened because I purchased rune items at a high price.

He was also speechless about this.

It was originally a normal transaction, but in the end, there was a scene of gangsters taking advantage of others.

But there is nothing we can do now. Searches have begun in the Blood Cliff City and the port area, and there are blood-colored armored soldiers everywhere.

Even if the brutal massacre in the tavern prompted the bloody armored soldiers to just show up, it indirectly affected their plans.

In addition to Huo Jixing and Jalal having extraordinary powers,

Others could not face the hordes of bloody armored soldiers advancing one after another.

Moreover, the Mouli family has been able to dominate the Blood Cliff for hundreds of years, so how could there be no extraordinary power.

Huo Jixing thought of the fight in front of the tavern, and the surging air seemed a little strange.

"It's a Noxian convert!" Jalal heard the question and spoke immediately.

“They are the ace force recruited by the empire. They are often active in the Ionian Islands and participate in the battles there.”

"This time, due to the Lord Commander's order to fully shrink the empire's power, they had to temporarily leave the Ionian Islands."

Jalal thought about the words spoken by the Noxian converts, and his heart gradually grew. dark.

In a place where I have been fighting for almost ten years, I just give up.

This is somewhat unlikely for the many Chapters affiliated with the Noxus Empire.

There will definitely be people who are resentful and even hate Swain who gave the order.

Because the former glory has become a lie in their eyes!

"Convert."

Huo Jixing whispered repeatedly, not noticing the emotional changes on Jalal's pale face.

"Is it Qi, the extraordinary power guided by it?"

When he slashed down with red fire, he did encounter some obstructions. It must be the Qi of the converts.

"What should we do now?" Jalal asked, looking around the warehouse.

"As a warning, I have arranged for Petar to seek help from the Leise Guard Secretariat in Longmen." Huo Jixing spoke softly, his eyes falling on Kalida.

“If nothing else happens, the empire’s high command should soon notice the changes in Blood Cliff.”

Jalal nodded silently, stood up and walked towards the place where food was piled in the warehouse. .

Dry and hard bread, easy-to-store bacon, and bottled water.

"Eat something!"

Huo Jixing walked to Kalida's side, half-crouched, and handed out the bread and water in his hand.

Seeing the food handed to her, the gray-haired young woman, who had just experienced a life-and-death fight, turned back to look at Huo Jixing, with a smile on her tired face.

“Thank you!”

Carida crushed the bread with her hands, put it in the water and stirred it gently.

Then she shook her right hand as a cradle while feeding the baby boy in her arms.

The baby boy is very small, estimated to be less than one year old, with golden hair and clear and bright eyes.

Perhaps he has been hunted too many times.

In the dark warehouse, the baby boy remained quiet, holding on to Kalida's clothes with his weak arms.

“Do you have anything to ask?”

After Kalida finished feeding the baby boy and ate something herself, her eyes fell on Huo Jixing.

"There are some problems." Huo Jixing nodded lightly and admitted directly.

He described in detail the bloody hall he encountered in the secret room of Mouuli Castle. There is also a stone pit in the center of the hall and an excavated experimental platform.

"I'm sorry, the direction of my research does not involve this aspect." Kalida shook her head gently.

The direction of her research and the experimental projects she conducts are machine production.

It has nothing to do with human experimentation.

However, Kalida saw Huo Jixing's disappointed look, and after pondering for a while, she continued to speak.

“According to your description, the environment in the Bloody Hall is old and dusty, so it should be an abandoned laboratory.”

“The laboratory is usually moved out to ensure the safety of the machine. Transportation, and experimental materials will not be lost”

"The new laboratory will not be too far away."

Huo Jixing thought of the chemical vessels he had seen at the port before, and seemed to realize: the laboratory established by the Mouli family is still in Blood Cliff City.

And in the Bloody Hall, the unexpected arrival of Mouli IV was to test my strength?

Or for something else?

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, and now he thought about it, there might be a secret behind it.

Unfortunately, Mauli IV died and could not find out anything more.

“Why did you and Brother You come to Blood Cliff?” Huo Jixing asked curiously.

Compared to the environment in Piltover, the Noxus Empire has little room for inventors to survive.

Not only is there a scientific and technological research atmosphere, but also a lot of the most advanced knowledge.

“Research funding!”

Kalida looked at the dome of the warehouse, her eyes dim, telling her about her wonderful life.

“Piltover is a prosperous and progressive city. Whether it is the living environment or the learning atmosphere, it has left a deep memory for us.”

“My brother and I arrived in Piltover Twov, just to pursue a new path——"

"Hex Technology!"

When Kalida mentioned Hex Technology, she lowered her eyes and looked at Hex vinyl gun in his own hand.

The bright blue light flashes, reflecting various scenes of studying in the past.

"Unfortunately, there are too many famous inventors in Piltover. In order to master the most cutting-edge Hex technology knowledge, they screen many inventors and apprentices."

"We .Not selected!"

"After that, we had to conduct research alone until we ran out of savings." Kalida looked gloomy.

“When we were in embarrassment, someone extended an olive branch and asked us to change our research direction.”

"In order to live, we have to bow our heads."

"Are you studying?" Huo Jixing looked surprised, as if he was surprised by Kalida's talent.

Blood magic itself is corrosive and mutable.

Coupled with its own legendary anecdotes, few people can truly master it.

“It’s not our research.”

Kalida seemed to recall something terrifying, a look of fear appeared on her pale face.

"Someone has provided quite comprehensive human experimental data. What we need to do is to conduct optimization research."

"My brother is responsible for the specific research content." Kalida thought to herself Brother, he sighed softly.

“Later, for follow-up research and funding, we took a boat to Blood Cliff.”

Destiny can be so strange sometimes.

For the research funds of Hex Technology, they had to go another way.

Underground laboratory.

Bright lights illuminate the silver-white walls.

In the central area, there is a separate blood-colored room, and the air is filled with a strong smell of blood and evil.

A variety of chemical vessels are placed around the bloody room, and the liquids inside are almost all deep red.

Next to these vessels are experimental equipment with different functions. If you look closely, you can see traces of blood on them.

In the corner, there is a batch of newly shipped chemical vessels, neatly placed.

Suddenly.

There was a strange sound.

I saw the crimson blood pool in the blood room, boiling like boiling water, the blood bubbles rising and breaking, starting over and over again.

Crunch!

Hear the sound coming from the bloody room.

A tall man wearing a white coat and silver-rimmed glasses opened the door and walked in.

He looked at the boiling pool of crimson blood and frowned.

Indistinctly, a healthy body was floating in the blood-colored foam, with scarlet runes engraved on the surface of the skin.

"Are you new?"

A whisper rang out, and the tall man pushed up his glasses, looking feverishly at what was happening in front of him.
