Whispering Poems

Chapter 1942 Cross and Blood
The lights in the rain and fog that Xia De saw before entering the town were scattered street lamps and the light of gas lamps projected from a few windows.It’s just that there are no townspeople on the street late at night, but if you close your eyes and listen carefully, you can vaguely sense the heartbeat from the house amidst the sound of rain.

This means that this town is really "alive". If the town of Green Lake has never been defeated, the town on the real island should be like this.

Although he was anxious to go deeper into the island to find Megan, Shade still entered a house by the road to check the state of the sleeping townspeople inside.

As expected, although there was the sound of a heartbeat, what Xia De really saw when he lifted the quilt was still a humanoid unnatural creature assembled using alchemy and undead techniques.These "townspeople" would not be woken up by Xia De's actions, and their bodies were firmly fixed to the bed by the roots pierced from the bottom of the bed.

Those tree roots not only bind the "townspeople", but most of the root ends will pierce wrists, ankles and other parts.Xia De looked carefully, and could observe the slight sucking action of the roots, and the blood in the townspeople's bodies was being absorbed into the roots little by little.

As for the tree roots that had to pierce the ceiling of the first floor to reach the bedroom, they all came from the depths of the town.This should be the same source as the huge roots at the bottom of Green Lake Cemetery, and when Shade wanted to use [Night Watchman] to intercept a section of tree roots for research, the roots at the end of those roots trembled like bugs, And out of the red and blue pus.

Not staying in the houses of the townspeople for too long, Shad followed his memory and walked towards the south of the town leading to Edwards' old house above the hill.

The farther you move towards the old Edwards house in the center of the island, the less rain and the greater the fog.At the position where Shad passed through a third of the town, in the thicker fog, he heard the buzzing voice again.

Continuing to move forward and going straight across the next intersection, the buzzing voices gradually became connected. Shade also heard that they were many different voices reciting the same sentence.

Moving forward, figures in black ponchos appeared one after another in the fog.

Everyone knelt on the ground on one knee, with the black spiral badge of "The One Who Returned" hanging around their necks, holding their hands together and chanting "The Edwards Family Leads Us To Eternal Life" and "The One Who Returns Leads Us To Escape The Cage Of The World". class sentences.

This looks like a gathering of heretics, but according to the regulations promulgated by the Orthodox Church, they are not heretics.First of all, this matter does not involve the real evil god, and secondly, Laplace Klein Howard did not ask for any beliefs.

He is simply gathering followers.

Obviously there are people in every household in the town, but there are still more than half of the residents of Green Lake Town gathered here.These townspeople in black ponchos gathered at the only five-forked road in the center of the town.And the direction where they knelt down on one knee to worship was also the center of the intersection.

As far as the eye can see, a huge cross stands there, and two different people can be vaguely seen bound on the front and back of the cross.It was only after Shade squinted his eyes that they were clearly Mr. Soren Green and Miss Helena Green.

The distance was too far, and there was thick fog, and Xia De couldn't see what state they were in.And there are too many townspeople here, and he also knows that if these townspeople are almost immortal like those in the cemetery, he has no time to destroy them.

"The incarnation of the red butterfly."

With a slight jump upwards, the whole person turned into a group of scarlet butterflies and rushed straight to the higher sky.After reaching a high enough altitude, it flew towards the center of the intersection under the cover of thick fog.

The ones who were tied to the front and back of the cross were indeed the Brothers and sisters Grimm, and the tree roots that sprang out from the stone slab at the bottom of the street tied them there firmly.Both of them were in a coma, and although they didn't seem to be in danger for the time being, the tree roots were also sucking their blood, and they would only get weaker and weaker if they continued like this.

Since he made a vow with Maria Edwards to protect the Green sisters, Xia De will naturally not break his promise.The group of red butterflies gradually descended, and finally Xia De stepped on the top of the cross and stood there.

Raise your hand to summon a big snowball in the fog, then connect the four snowballs with the Great Sin Chain to form a closed space, and then use moonlight thorns to block the coming of the surrounding townspeople.

But those townspeople who knelt on one knee didn't intend to stand up. Even if Xia De snapped his fingers and four huge snowballs fell from the sky, he could even feel the vibration of the cross. didn't move.

"Isn't it the same as a cemetery?"

[Be careful where you step. 】

"She" suddenly reminded, Xia De looked down, only to find that the roots binding the Green brothers and sisters were almost integrated with the cross, and had climbed and spread to his feet at some point.

So Xia De lightly jumped to the ground. Seeing that the townspeople at the intersection still had no intention of taking action, he raised the long sword in his hand to the roots attached to the cross.

With a clang sound, those gray roots wriggled to avoid the edge of [Night Watchman], and the blade slashed on the black metal cross, but the roots forcibly fixed it together before the cross broke. .

Xia De frowned slightly, and took a step back, watching the dense gray roots emerging from the ground quickly covering the ground.They squirmed and gathered together, and finally turned into the appearance of Laplace Klein Howard again in front of the cross.

It's just that compared to the flame half body just now, the figure made up of wriggling tentacles is much weirder.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Xia De still raised his sword and swung it forward.The dense roots were cut off by the night watchman, but then the plant squirmed and healed itself.The tiny roots that fell on the sword even grew and climbed up the long sword to wrap it up.Xia De wanted to retract the sword after swinging it, but found that he could not retract it at this time.

Xia De held the hilt of the sword, and the whole right hand regrown by the human figure with gray roots wrapped around the body of the sword, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

In the past, Xia De used the night watchman and never encountered such a situation.This angel-level long sword has a special effect on evil, so that no one dares to touch the silver sword directly with their hands.But now, this human figure that grew out of tentacles, and even had short white tentacles swaying in the rain around its body, was not judged as evil by [Night Watchman].

This also means that [Night Watchman]'s special attack effect against evil cannot be exerted at all.

"Do you think I can't do anything about you?"

The bright red flames flowed along the hilt to the body of the sword, and at the same time, fiery red cracks appeared on the inside and outside of Xia De's hands. The effect of "embers of the first fire" will only appear when Xia De encounters an extremely dangerous situation, and the sudden strength and warmth in his body at this moment seem to come from the time when he shook hands with Sister Devlin in the fire not long ago that power.

But no matter what, the fiery red rays of light have appeared in the gaps in the roots wrapping the night watchman's sword body.As Xia De lifted the sword upwards, the blade of the sword with flames easily cut through those gray roots.

He continued to thrust forward without hesitation, the sword being swung leaving traces of fire in the fog.Although these roots are not affected by the characteristics of the night watchman, the flames containing the power of the primordial fire are still their natural nemesis.

The dense flaming roots soon fell all over the ground, but after the human figure completely collapsed, more roots surged from the ground, and changed into the appearance of the fortune-teller again.

He didn't intend to continue fighting with Xia De who was holding a sword. While taking a step back, many townspeople who were whispering behind him asked Xia De together:
"Do you really want to waste time here with me?"

"What do you mean? It's wasting time, isn't it you?"

Xia De asked the figure in front of him.

The townspeople from all directions spoke together again and answered:
"The family banquet is about to begin. If you don't rush to the banquet hall before the first outsider who lands on the island sets foot on the pier, even if the key is still in your hands, you are no longer eligible to participate in the banquet."

"Since you summon your descendants to a family feast, what are you doing?"

The flaming long sword pointed at the Brothers and sisters Green on the cross, and the townspeople said together in the fog and rain:
"In order to brew that long-lived wine, it needs a process."

"You know, I hate the guy who makes the wine!"

The long sword swung forward again, but even Xia De who swung the sword knew that this sword still didn't have much effect.

"You can go around here and move on."

The overlapping voices said together, and the root beard figure made a gesture of invitation towards the cross again:

"Or, I can tell you how to rescue them."

"Are you forcing me to follow your arrangement?"

"No, it's your own choice."

The townspeople said the answer in unison:
"Edwards' blood will irrigate the fullest fruit on the tree. Although the twin siblings are strange, they have not set foot on the extraordinary, and the power of their blood is far inferior to others. Use your blood to replace theirs. blood; or look for the alien blood with the space talent that contains the huge spirit, and water the roots of the family for them."

"You want my blood? Is that why you brought me to this island?"

Xia De frowned and asked, the root-haired figure shook his head slightly, and all the voices around praised together:

"I can feel that you are grabbing the power of Edwardsden's magic. It doesn't matter. Since I have chosen this path, fate will definitely arrange an opponent for me.

God caller, you are someone outside of fate, you are a variable that should not exist in "Whispering Verses", you are a guest off the stage, and you are the inevitable result of a series of mistakes.No one can plan your destiny, I am just giving you options.How to do it depends on your determination. The Edwards family welcomes you. "
