Chapter 1331 1303. Wound
As Lan En expected, the sound of firing his heavy ballista attracted the attention of the Healing Church.
They allocated manpower and sent them to this area.
But Lan En relies on his superb mobility, silent and stealthy footwork, and the complex terrain of Church Town and Yharnam.
After all, I didn’t get into trouble again.
After all, he killed Mikrash too quickly and simply.
When Lan En pulled away from the area where the Healing Church reacted most intensely, he found that Maria had also lowered her head and stood with Adeline at the entrance of the tunnel where they came up from Old Yharnam.
This huntress who was born in the blood noble family is indeed an outstanding strong person. She fought with the surrounding Healing Church personnel for a long time, but there was no hole in her one-shoulder cloak.
“You look very disappointed.”
While Lan En was weighing two packages with his hands, each containing a piece of the body of the Son of God, he said to Maria who looked up at him Said.
"Didn't find your teacher? That [First Hunter] Geman?"
Maria shook her head first, with a solemn expression on her face, and then answered: "I didn't find it, but it shouldn't be, something like this happened. Teacher, it’s impossible that he doesn’t know about big things, and where else can he go?”
As she spoke, Maria lowered her tricorn hat, letting the shadow of the hat cover her worried face. .
“This night. It seems that everything collapsed.”
“That’s right.” As if to divert her attention, Maria opened her mouth and asked, “What did you say before? What does it mean to say 'Don't go too far' to me? ”
At this point, Lan En frowned and his expression became uncertain.
The expressions of the two of them almost changed in a short time.
"No, it's hard to say now." The witcher sighed slightly, and then looked at Adeline, who was so nervous that her fingers were clenched together unconsciously, but she was still trying to encourage herself, "It's just a .Unverified conjecture.”
“What about us now?”
Maria was not interested in finding a teacher she trusted. He didn't ask any more questions and just went on with the current situation.
"Now." Lan En raised the two large packages in his hands, "We have to go to the small fishing village again to go to the scene of this murder."
"He is already a corpse." He said , Maria sniffed subconsciously, she was also a Yharnamite addicted to blood after all. "Sending the body back can appease the great god?"
"Allow the great god to appease his anger?" Lan En pursed his lips and shook his head, "No, I just want to let him rest in peace."
“Even for humans, mistakes and a large number of deaths will trigger a series of terrible consequences. Sharp and crazy spirits and emotions, paired with death, are the most terrifying catalysts.”
“A person who has never The Son of God was murdered at birth. At least, I want to hold a funeral ceremony for Him.”
Otherwise, this nightmare is the consequence of the so-called 'wrong death of a son of God'.
But Lan En didn’t make it clear.
Because even if he said it, can people in this nightmare really understand it?
Without any more difficult battles, the group of them went down from the church town again, leaving the still-burning Old Yharnam very quickly.
Maria's carriage from Cainhurst was still waiting outside Yharnam. Fortunately, it was outside Yharnam, otherwise it would probably have been burned.
But when Lan En was in the carriage, putting the upper and lower parts of the body of the Son of God together into a bag, the demon hunter's hand suddenly stopped.
Adeline and Maria were both restless at this time, immersed in the smell of the blood of the Son of God.
Only Maria, who has better self-control, noticed this pause.
“Is this the wrong body?”
Maria asked cautiously.
Although she was usually a strong and decisive hunter, if it weren't for Lan En this night, she would probably be no better than a headless fly.
At least she couldn't even see clearly the nature of the Healing Church on her own.
But Lan En just lowered his head, his fingers slowly and carefully brushing the huge wound behind the body of the Son of God, as if he was using his own experience and touch to feel this huge wound. trauma.
This should be the fatal wound that killed Him.
However, this wound is not a sword wound.
During the previous battle with Ludwig, the church's number one hunter, who witnessed the moonlight in the form of a beast and crawled out of the abyss of beastliness, said that he was the one who gave the orphan of Kos a fatal blow.
But whether it was the exquisitely transformed weapon produced by the Healing Church workshop that Ludwig was initially carrying, or the other [Holy Moonlight Sword] that was now in Lan En's hand. It shouldn't be possible to cut such a scar.
What is this
Lan En's mind was racing, but Maria's inquiry from the side brought his attention back.
“No, it’s nothing.”
Lan En's fingertips left the huge wound on the body of the Son of God, and he shook his head and said.
It is still raining hazy in the small fishing village.
The fire started by the hunters for the great hunt has been extinguished.
Only the smoking wood remains and corpses on the ground were left. The signs of damage or torture on the skulls of those fish-men corpses were very obvious, and it was almost obvious at a glance that the skulls must have received inhuman treatment.
I'm afraid those hunters or accompanying scholars must have dug their fingers into the inside of those skulls and searched for something inside, right?
There are no enemies here anymore, only dead silence.
Lan En took the lead and walked forward, while Maria followed behind, protecting Adeline.
Although the small fishing village was built by the fishermen here to be more complicated and entangled than most places in Nan due to the terrain, fortunately, the traces of the hunters' fighting and advancement are obvious.
Under Lan En's demon hunter vision, he followed along and found the place where the murder took place.
Three people found an elevator in a building in a small fishing village.
The sound of mechanical operation also brought with it the sound of rolling wet wood in this humid and gloomy village.
“Those are all.”
On the elevator, Maria looked down from the hollow fence and struggled to utter half a sentence.
Adeline's performance was even more obvious. The Saint of Blood suddenly covered her mouth and let out a sob in her throat that was almost vomiting.
The ground where the elevator will land is covered with an unknown thick layer of fat and big white insects.
The smooth skin resembles that of sea creatures such as squid.
The only thing that is acceptable is that they all seem to be dead and motionless. Therefore, the thick layer of insects did not squirm like a wave, nor did it make a greasy friction sound.
Adeline's reaction was purely a physiological reaction, but Maria was an out-and-out Yharnam hunter, and her reaction was more of regret.
Because the appearance of these bugs is exactly the same as the parasites cultured from the blood of gray blood patients in Lan En’s previous experiments at the research center!
It's just that the body size is larger.
With a 'crunch', the elevator stopped, and Lan opened the fence.
"So." But Maria just lowered her head, looking at the thick insects outside the elevator, and said in an almost ridiculous tone.
“These are bugs brought by the great god Kos, and these bugs will turn into gray blood disease in the human body?”
The parasites on the upper body were discovered by humans and brought Back in Yanam, it became a man-made plague.
Now, the entire chain of events has been clarified.
Lan En did not speak, just shook his head, walked down the elevator with the big bag containing the two body parts, and walked deeper into the cave.
Maria was a little confused, but now it was Adeline who was supporting her.
The feeling of a thick layer of sticky bugs beneath your feet made your hair stand on end.
Going further inside, there is a group of deformed women kneeling towards the depths of the cave.
The men in the small fishing village all became half-murlocs due to the influence of the ancient god Kos.
But women seem to have turned into snail girls. Their bodies are smooth and pale, and they live in the snail shell.
The degree of this mutation seems to be very deep. When the upper body of the humanoid body that they still retain is poked out of the shell, even the internal organs look like a conch, wrapped around the outside of the humanoid body, rather than growing on the body. in.
They were motionless, perhaps because of this, the hunters who came before were not interested in killing them.
Further inside the cave is an exit, which leads to a flat beach.
The ocean and beach looked filthy and scorched black at this night.
Only the light reflected when the water waves surge allows people to distinguish where is the sand and where is the water.
And a huge and pale corpse of a marine creature lay very eye-catching in the filth.
His body is covered by a huge white flesh membrane. It is unknown what the structure of the body underneath is. Many soft-bodied creature-like tentacles extend out of the flesh membrane.
On the few serious limbs I occasionally saw, the elbow joints had organs like fish fins, as well as fish scales, webs and the like.
Just like most extraordinary creatures in Yanan, their limbs grow in a mess.
Only this mess of corpses carries a sense of tranquility and desolation.
It is completely different from the madness and gore of other things.
The waves washed over his body near the waterline, causing the flesh membrane and tentacles on one side of his body to slide passively.
Lan En found a broken fishing boat, put the body of the orphan of Kos on the boat and reassembled it from top to bottom, and closed his deformed palms peacefully on his chest.
The outline of the bones can be seen in the thin body, and his body has not grown at all.
The skin doesn’t even have a chance to grow, so this face looks like a wrinkled old man.
A premature baby, an orphan.
I heard that the great god Kos is the ancient god of the ocean.
So sending the orphan's body back to the ocean can be regarded as returning it to his mother, right?
