Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 168: Join forces together

"Roselis, Roseliss... come out for a moment."

Roselis was actually worried in the carriage. Just now, when her brother brought the lawyer in, she heard screams in the barn. Only when she heard her brother's voice outside the carriage did she feel relieved.

When he got out of the car, he saw Haverson carrying the unconscious lawyer on his back, staring blankly at the Holy Spear in his hand.

"Roselis, you have a sharp mind. Please help me analyze this."

Haverson recounted what happened to the two of them after they entered the barn. In fact, he was also confused. In the dark, he saw a fat man hanging on the roof as a blood sacrifice. When the lawyer ran, he chased him. Suddenly, a thing came out of the darkness. He raised his hand and shot the thing.

"Brother, have you forgotten the fable of the saint? Do you remember what happened to the impetuous Bashata? You should have... Oh, forget it, I'll go in with you and figure it out."

Roselis pulled the village chief out, and the four of them entered the barn again. This time, they successfully found the kerosene lamp. After the light was lit, the two looked around the mess, studied it for a long time, and came to two conclusions.

First, the whole thing should have nothing to do with the evil god, and the so-called blood sacrifice scene was artificially arranged.

Although the two little geniuses are not good at other things, they are responsible for identifying the mass scene. This is the kind of work that inquisitors usually do when they leave the Holy See. They go to the scene to see if it is a false case or a wrongful conviction. If it is, they arrest the person and bring him back to the Holy See.

So in this area, they have more experience than Lin Brown and others.

Second... Actually, there was no second, because the two of them had no idea what was going on. The only two people who knew the truth, one was frightened and lying on Haverson's back, and the other, a red-haired man with handcuffs on his hands, had been stabbed to death by Haverson.

The brother and sister decided to go back to the monastery first, and then make a detailed plan after meeting dear Mr. Richie and waking up the lawyer.

The two of them went out again, holding the village chief and carrying the lawyer on his back. But just as they threw the lawyer into the carriage, Roselis saw some shadowy figures coming from a distance.

The reason I call it a thing is because the one in front is too scary.

Its figure looks like a human, with arms and legs, but looking at its face, it can easily scare people in the middle of the night. Its face is pale, and its tentacles are swaying in the wind. It keeps lowering its head, then raising it, but it never looks forward.

"Roselis, you go up first. It seems that there are indeed minions of the evil god in the monastery."

Haverson shook his holy spear and was ready for battle, but as he waited, he found that one of the people walking towards him looked particularly familiar. This man was wearing a windbreaker, a top hat, holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, and a cloth bag slung across his body. He took food out of the cloth bag as he walked forward.

Isn't this Mr. Rich?

"Mr. Ricky! Mr. Ricky!"

Their carriage was parked under a big tree. His sudden shout scared the three people opposite, especially Liu Yonglu who was following behind Millie Tang. He was eating beef jerky and someone suddenly called him in the middle of the night, so he dropped the beef jerky on the ground.

Liu Yonglu rubbed his eyes and saw a tall man opposite him with blond hair and broad shoulders. He was holding a pistol in his hand. The gun looked familiar... Oh, Haversian, his meal was found. Today was really new. Why did he come here?

So what were Liu Yonglu, Millie Tang, and Lin Brown doing here in the middle of the night? They were following the lizard.

After interrogating Ginger Head a few days ago, Liu Yonglu really entered vacation mode. There was no point in being anxious. To be more specific, he would have to wait for the first quarter moon. However, he didn't have to worry about this, as Millie Tang would observe the moon phases every day.

In the long run, it would take more than a week for the old man to pass down the inheritance. Now that one person had gone mad and one had died in the monastery, things were much more relaxed. Except for the eldest aunt who lay on the sofa in the living room every day, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, there was hardly anyone else to be seen.

Every morning, Liu Yonglu usually brought Xiaohu and Millie Tang to the restaurant to chat. Baba was also happy to have him come. After all, seeing Liu Yonglu and the servants made them feel like they had a backbone.

The food and tea on the table were circulated and changed around. After a few days of contact, the relationship between the two sides was quite good. Baba and his servants were waiting for the change of address. As soon as the old man died, Liu Yonglu would be upgraded from "Mr." to "Master".

In the afternoon, Liu Yonglu usually plays with Xiaohu outdoors, kicking a ball, playing with ants, and climbing trees.

Why do I say "normally"? Because there might be two days when my nerdy uncle will come to see me and go to my study to check the results of my experiment.

Was there any success? Yes, and it was quite significant.

At this time in Rojo's study, in the largest flask on the wooden table, a light gray flesh sac was twitching and expanding rhythmically, as if something was growing inside.

If someone approaches, a claw-like outline will slightly rise up on the uneven flesh wall of the sac, and it is not known whether it is a warning or a sign of friendliness.

Liu Yonglu also took Millie Tang in to have a look. Millie Tang was very interested in this alchemical wonder, but she had been pondering it for several days and still couldn't figure out the trick.

Rojo, on the other hand, was very excited. His nephew was really talented. The reaction in the flask was completely different from the two hundred times he had failed before.

After dinner today, Millie Tang called Liu Yonglu and Lin Brown after observing the night sky. It was time, the waxing moon would be tonight.

Liu Yonglu was very excited and prepared a bag of snacks. He really found some of the feeling when he was a child living in a tube building and going on adventures with his friends during the summer vacation.

Anyway, there are grains of rice in literature and wet blankets in martial arts, so just follow behind and watch the fun.

But after they set off, the three people noticed a problem: they could not keep up with the geckos. These creatures were not ordinary reptiles. They seemed to be slow in movement but were actually elusive. They appeared on the ceiling one second and ran onto the windowsill the next.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or can these creatures change the spatial laws within the monastery to a certain extent?
Why didn't they notice this before? It wasn't Mi Li'er's fault for not being careful, but mainly because of Xiao Hu. There were definitely no geckos where Xiao Hu was, so Liu Yonglu and Mi Li Tang saw geckos only a few times.

In the end, it was Millie Tang who came up with a solution: using the Phantom Mask. After putting it on, Liu Yonglu could even talk directly to the gods. Moreover, with Liu Yonglu by her side, she was not afraid of not being able to take off the mask.

Just like that, Mi Li'er put on the Phantom mask.

It would have been fine if she hadn't put it on. After putting on the mask, Millie Tang immediately moved her feet because she found that geckos were pouring out from under the floor. Those dark four-legged animals seemed to be between reality and illusion. When they came out from under the floor, they would twist their bodies hard to squeeze themselves out of the dirty cracks in the rotten wooden boards.

When they touch other objects, such as human feet, some parts of their body will be knocked off, such as their tails and claws, but they don't care and just keep moving forward. New organs will grow on those bumpy wounds in a short time.

Millie Tang put on gloves and gently poked the floor under her feet. She felt that the floor was not as hard as she expected, as if it was covered with a layer of rough thorns.

It's strange. I didn't notice these abnormalities when I put on the Phantom mask a few days ago. Could it be the influence of the waxing moon, or have some other changes occurred in the monastery in the past few days?

But there was no time to worry about all that now. Millie Tang discovered that these geckos were scrambling to crawl out of the monastery. They seemed to be attracted by something rather than relying on vision to identify directions.

"Mr. Rich, follow me, the ritual in Baba's song is tonight!"

Did everyone eat mooncakes during the holiday? I ate all the red bean paste ones in the box today and left the rest.

I’ll try the salty ones next year. I’m gradually able to accept salty rice dumplings, but not mooncakes.
