Chapter 37: The Old Familia
Everyday life in the weird country is very peaceful.
In the afternoon, the butcher sent Xiao En to Ms. Hecate's labyrinth library. When passing the long suspended corridor again, Xiao En saw the peaks in the distance that had been flattened by some powerful force.
There should have been several mausoleum-like monasteries there, but now even the mountain peaks have been completely obliterated.
"The Kingdom of Weirdness is not at peace during this period either." Xiao En said silently in his heart.
The butcher noticed Xiao En's gaze, reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "It's okay, it's over."
The traces of a battle have been covered up, but the flattened peaks cannot be deceived. people.
Xiao En hesitated slightly and whispered: "What happened?"
The butcher pondered for a moment and said: "There are some things that you are not able to know yet."
< br>“I can only tell you that all this has something to do with the [Old Familia].”
Some secrets in the weird country are accompanied by fatal dangers. Knowing too much is not a good thing if you are not strong enough.
It can easily lead to indescribable delusions.
Old family members?
Xiao En's expression gradually became serious.
“However, I should tell you something.” The butcher changed the topic and said in a deep voice: “Someone is taking advantage of Ms. Hecate’s absence to get rid of you, these otherworldly souls! ”
Um?
Get rid of the alien soul?
Xiao En frowned and listened carefully to the butcher's words.
"I didn't expect them to do it so quickly." The butcher glanced at the high wall in the distance and said slowly: "I just went out for a 'hunting' trip, and they were already clueless. Awakening has planted spiritual hints for you.”
A transcendent person with spiritual pathways?
Xiao En's expression was startled. He had never noticed that he had been given psychic hints.
“There is no other way.”
“I could only use a trick to let you walk out of the high wall and be infected with the madness of evil things. Finally, I would use this as a reason to send you back to the real world for refuge.”
The butcher's voice contained a hint of murderous intent, and he said calmly: "We will wait until Ms. Hecate comes back."
Now Ms. Hecate has come back.
That is to say.
The Butcher has already cleaned up everything that needs to be cleaned before Xiao En returns to the Kingdom of Weirdness.
Xiao En seemed to recall something in his mind.
He remembered that the first time he talked to Lolis, the other party used some kind of magic to transmit sounds into secrets, and even reminded Xiao En not to speak, and just nodded or shook his head in response.
At that time, Lolis was very careful and vigilant.
But later they seemed to have forgotten this, and just used normal methods to communicate and plan how to escape.
After the seeds of doubt were planted, Xiao En always had the urge to see the truth with his own eyes.
Looking back now, the scene at that time was very strange.
“The Butcher always knew that he was following me secretly.”
“That’s why [Death Recall] was not triggered.”
At this moment, he thought of Xiao En a lot, and he only felt the horror of the spiritual path. He even suspected that Lolis's memory had really been tampered with.
“That’s why Lolis doesn’t trust them at all!”
Psychic path.
In the land of weirdness, your thoughts are not necessarily your thoughts.
If you were on Earth and you suddenly wanted to take a quick trip, you would be really bored.
But in the weird country, if you suddenly want to take a trip on a whim one day, you have to first think about whether you are possessed by the power of the spiritual path, or have been inspired by some ancient indescribable thing.
The biggest difference between Xiao En and Lolis is that the butcher is Xiao En’s guide, and he is protected, but Lolis’ guide has never shown up from beginning to end.
Xiao En was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and asked: "Why do they want to get rid of the alien soul?"
The butcher said calmly: "Because of interests and resources , Tao, etc.”
“The talents of the souls from other worlds are excellent, but they have no sense of identity with this world. Even with the blessing of soul echo, it is difficult for them to survive in this world. The world has a stable anchor.”
"There are some people, the aborigines in your mouth."
"They don't trust the souls of other worlds."
"Once the souls of other worlds get out of control, the damage caused is far greater than that of others. People!"
The Butcher seemed to recall something, with a hint of regret on his face, and said softly: "The souls of the other world will take up the resources of the Destiny Path, and they want to hold the power in their own hands."
“But the existence of the soul from another world is also protected by the rules here.”
"They don't dare to do anything blatantly, so they want you to die on your own." The butcher is Xiao En's guide, and he is only responsible for Xiao En's safety.
The life and death of other people is not within his scope of consideration.
Hearing what the other party said, Xiao En suddenly thought of that girl who was as delicate as a doll.
She wanted Xiao En to take the initiative to rest in peace.
But in the echo of his soul, he tried his best to save him.
“It’s not Cecia.” The butcher seemed to have guessed Xiao En’s thoughts, and said calmly: “She was the first to discover that someone had planted a spiritual seed in you.”
Isn’t it her? ?
Who could that be?
“The first ritual.”
"The door that opened should bring a living person."
"It's a pity that we miscalculated."
"They are jealous of the souls of the other world, and they are also afraid of the souls of the other world."< br>
The Butcher sighed: "In the end, some of them were taken advantage of by the old Familiars and transformed into polluters of the Chaos Familiars."
The Butcher's words ended here.
What this means is that Xiao En should not ask too much about the following matters. It is safer not to know some things.
Dead person? Living person?
Has the way in which the souls from other worlds descended have also been distorted by the Weird Kingdom?
"Ms. Hecate returns in the end?"
"Have they completed the liquidation of these people?" Xiao En still has a lot of doubts in his heart: "What about the real world? Those people who came from the grotesque A dangerous supernatural relic flowing into reality? ”
"Did they also find a way to bring them in?"
"Is there a traitor in humanity?"
In front is Ms. Hecate's labyrinth library, and the undead banshee is already waiting at the door. .
"The lady is waiting for you."
A pale but beautiful banshee maid whispered: "Please follow me."
Xiao En walked into the maze corridor again.
Everything here has not changed at all from the past, except that Xiao En seems to be able to vaguely sense the undead banshees busy inside without taking off his confusion.
The elegant figure of Ms. Hecate is sitting at her desk working.
She raised her hand and knocked on the table.
Xiao En sat on the seat next to him obediently.
Ms. Hecate now had the face of a bright girl, with a pretty face and a pleasant voice. She showed a hint of appreciation and said: "You performed well in Dorne this time."
"I'm thinking about whether to do it or not. I'll give you a small reward."
Xiao En stood up and said respectfully, "It's all because of the teacher's good teaching."
Ms. Hecate chuckled upon hearing this: "That's good. Well. Since you don’t want it, forget it.”
Xiao En suddenly became a little anxious.
He raised his head and glanced at Ms. Hecate secretly, and whispered: "There is a saying in my hometown, which is that the elders can't refuse the gift."
Ms. Hecate, who appears as a girl, should be the most popular one. Easy to get along with.
She's even a little lively.
An expressionless immortal banshee placed thick books in front of Xiao En. He noticed that some books on the first row of bookshelves were also placed in front of him. These books are different from the ones I have seen before. Some have lavender incorporeal tentacles extending from the pages, and some have dark red traces of flesh and blood on the sheepskin covers of the books.
These are magic books!
Xiao En was not qualified to read them before, but now the banshee maids put them in front of Xiao En.
"Today we will talk about "24 Career Sequences"."
Ms. Hecate knocked on the table, and Xiao En immediately sat down, looking like an obedient student.
The lady is very satisfied.
She paused for a moment, picked up the black-framed glasses and put them on. She suddenly looked full of intellectuality and bookishness, and said slowly: "The career sequence is your own law, and the mythical path is the law of the world! ”
"Before you embark on the road to destiny, you must first learn to master your own laws."
