Chapter 469 It Has to Be Him! (4k+)

Liu Yonglu gave a look, and Mr. Shani ran over and hugged the quilt. So, does that mean Liu Yonglu is not afraid that the soul in Lin Brown's body is the Blood Prince?
He was also afraid, but he had no time to care. He had to take a gamble at the critical moment. What if he hesitated and delayed his escape?
At this time, Lin Brown's eyes were still squeezed by the lump on his forehead, leaving only a slit. It was impossible to tell whether he was awake or not. Fortunately, his breathing was even, so he should be still alive.

The old king and Barlov beside him fell limply to the ground, their bodies decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye. They had lived for thousands of years, and their physical functions had been supported by Uwe's great power. Now their souls had been absorbed and fused by Uwe, and the remaining flesh naturally could not hold on.

"Ricky, Ricky...have a cigarette."

Liu Yonglu and Xia Ni took Lin Brown and ran towards the planned exit at lightning speed. During the process, Lin Brown spoke slowly.

"It's the last pack, smoke it sparingly!"

Liu Yonglu quickly picked out one and put it in Lin Bulang's mouth.

"Why don't you speak to me in code?"

Lin Brown asked Shani to carry him on his shoulders like a sack, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. He felt that the Blood Prince in his body had completely disappeared. In the dream, he clearly felt that Rielkos Uwe had completely absorbed the soul of the Blood Prince. They had become one and he was now free.

He exhaled a long puff of smoke, and a new life began.

"Nonsense, you are such an addict, there is no one else but you!"

Just as the two were about to chat a few more words, they heard three deafening howls coming from behind them. The sound was like the screams of a tortured human being or the roar of a wild beast breaking free from its restraints.

Liu Yonglu asked Shani to carry Lin Brown and run in front, while he turned his head to take a look.

The pieces of flesh that were originally piled behind the stone gate continued to shrink towards the center, and the body whose outlines could not be seen before gradually changed into a hideous monster.

The monster had long limbs, and there were no palms at the front of its arms. Instead, there were sickle-shaped forelimbs pointing downward. Its bloated, fat, blood-red body was open to the outside, and rows of ribs protruding out could be seen. There were no internal organs inside, and blood was flowing out.

The bird's wings grew behind its fat limbs, and its feathers were brown and covered with fishy blood.

What makes people feel most uncomfortable is the monster's head. The twisted snake-like neck connects three horrible skinless heads to the torso. The three heads are still fighting with each other. They tear their companions around them fiercely, and use their sharp teeth to bite off pieces of flesh and blood from the heads around them and swallow them in big mouthfuls.

The three heads seemed to be conveying some information through their roars, but Liu Yonglu could no longer understand it.

Next to the monster stood a donkey with his arms folded, looking at the monster in front of him with his head tilted, seeming to be particularly interested in this kind of existence.

Rielkos Uwe was forcibly awakened from his slumber, and his divine power had not yet fully recovered. It was the stone tablet prayer chanted by the three candidates in the dreamland that summoned him.

And the souls of the three people merged into one with the Blood Mad God just as they had expected.

Is the being before him a god? Or is it just a temporary preservation of three twisted souls, which will be transformed into its original form at some point in the future when Rielkos Uwe is fully restored?

Seeing Liu Yonglu looking at himself and the monster beside him, the donkey also turned his head to look at him.

Liu Yonglu got into a stance as if he was ready to fight to the death, and he did a one-legged stand. The donkey stared at him, waiting for his next reaction. Then Liu Yonglu turned around and threw the Calabash Brothers sketches in his hand at the monster, then turned around and ran away!

Want to run? Donkey still wants to test the monster in front of him. He can't do it himself. It would be meaningless if he did it himself. It would be better to let Dou Niwar try and get his pen back.

Just as he was about to make a move, he saw the pieces of drawing paper that were lifted into the air slowly falling down. He caught one and looked at it carefully. Hey...isn't this the portrait of the god that he gave him before? Why did he throw out three more pieces?

And it was different from the previous paintings. Before, he had one red and one blue in his hand, but now the three pictures were one yellow, one purple, and one green.

What's the point? A parting gift for me? Thanking me for helping him in the dreamland? No way... this guy doesn't have such a kind heart.

Or is this the material used in some forbidden spell, used to deal with the monster in front of us?
The donkey's old problem came back again. He turned his head and looked at the three monsters beside him, wanting to see what was going on.

I waited for half a minute, no response, and then I waited for another three minutes, still no response.

The donkey could only fold three paintings and put them in his pockets. Including the previous two, there were five in total. Dou.Nivar had said before that there were seven gods in total, and now they were all gathered. I don’t know what the effect will be after gathering them all. I will have to ask the "One of All Things" about this matter later.

The monsters around him also made intermittent human sounds at this time. The fight finally came to a stalemate. The three heads found that they could not kill each other. The torn flesh and blood healed again in the blink of an eye. This endless consumption was meaningless.

"Uwe...blood..."

"Still too weak... Slate... Supplement..."

"Sacrifice them... Sacrifice everyone..."

The three heads emitted the voices of the Blood Prince, the Old King and Barlov respectively. They got what they wanted and finally merged with Uwe. At the same time, they were also trying to understand and adapt to the body of this god.

In their eyes, the world has completely changed. The original three-dimensional space has become limited. They can see the chaotic river of time and the vast starry sky outside the world.

Of course, they also felt the horror of the donkey in front of them, so even though this special monster, which was a fusion of the Blood God and three twisted souls, was thirsty for blood, they did not rashly start a war with the donkey.

However, this weak emotion that only belongs to humans is slowly being diluted by the chaotic frenzy of the gods, and they can no longer bear it.

For a moment, there was a subtle confrontation between the donkey and the monster.

In the temple corridor, Shi Weitian and his companions were still running desperately. Last night, Milly Tang asked Kou Gang to hold a bundle of ropes and the route had been determined. Now they just had to run along the ropes.

Shani carried Linbulan, Kou Gang carried the gold, Liu Yonglu led Millie Tang, and Millie Tang held the running chicken. The old men were all running out of breath, and soon they heard a loud noise of the stone wall collapsing behind them.

Was it Uwe who turned into a monster chasing them, or was it the donkey that caught up with them, or was it both sides that were chasing them? They didn't know, and they didn't dare to look back!
Let’s run out first!
However, Liu Yonglu had a doubt in his mind. Even if he ran out of the temple, there would be a cursed island outside. It would be foolish to try to swim out to the sea outside the deserted island, as he would eventually be caught up by others.

How could Liu Yonglu not have thought of Millie Tang, but she had no idea what to do. Even a witch couldn't build a ship overnight.

Millie Tang can only act according to circumstances. If all else fails, she can fire flares and wait for the three expedition ships to rescue her. However, the probability of success... is really low.

"Did you run out of the temple? I smell the sea breeze."

Lin Brown asked. At this time, his body had recovered, but he still couldn't see anything. The previous collision was too severe. He didn't know if it was possible to regain his sight.

"Yes, just turn another corner and you will find the entrance we came in through!"

Millie Tang was out of energy and was having trouble breathing. In addition, she had a handkerchief stuck in her nostrils and forgot to take it out. She nearly fell down several times when her vision went dark.

"I remember there was a cave on the southeast side of the island. Inside was a simple paddle boat that the villagers had docked there. There were several particularly tall coconut trees at the entrance of the cave."

The awakening of the Blood Prince is not entirely a bad thing. At least Lin has recovered the memories that he had deliberately forgotten. Back then, he mistakenly entered the Cursed Island and killed all his companions under the control of the Blood Prince. Later, he was rescued by other merchant ships on the sea.

There is a problem here. He certainly couldn't have swam out of the Lost Sea by himself. It was the small boat hidden in the cave by the villagers of Xiamu Island that saved him.

Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang were overjoyed. Following Lin Brown's instructions, they successfully found several simple paddle boats made by the villagers of Xiamu Island.

It is called a paddle boat, but it is just a primitive wooden boat made by fixing several high-quality logs together. The area of ​​animal skin used as a sail is very small. Without oars, the boat cannot go very fast, but having a boat is better than having no boat at all.

The few of them did not dare to stay any longer and pushed the boat into the sea. Mr. Shani and Kou Gang were responsible for rowing, Lin Brown and Liu Yonglu controlled the sail, and Millie Tang identified the direction. In this way, Shi Weitian and his companions finally escaped from the cursed island.

"The Blood Mad God has awakened again, right?"

When the boat sailed far away with the monsoon and the island behind could no longer be seen from the boat, Lin Brown slowly asked.

"Ah... yes, it turned into a monster with three heads.

Before, Barov and the old king's bloody prince wanted to strangle each other to death, but now, the three sworn brothers have become sworn brothers in the Peach Garden. "Liu Yonglu stretched himself and prepared to take a nap. He was exhausted after a night of hard work and the successful escape just now.

"You must be careful after this."

Lin Brown said slowly, he thought of the scene he saw in the Blood Prince Omen before...an empty office, where Ricky died strangely.

……

Although Millie Tang had studied the nautical charts in advance and Liu Yonglu had brought a certain amount of emergency food, the two days of the boat drifting on the sea were still a torment for everyone at Shi Weitian.

This is the Lost Sea. Even if Captain Pedri and I had made plans in advance, there was still little hope of finding each other in the vast ocean.

The sea breeze in the early morning was still a little chilly. Liu Yonglu yawned, rubbed his eyes, moved his frozen left shoulder, then slowly sat up and pulled the coat he was wearing to Mi Li'er beside him.

"Zou Ji, I've told you so many times that you can't drink sea water. If you're thirsty, I'll take you backstage to get some more."

The good thing about bringing a walking chicken is that the people on the boat don't have to worry about fresh water, as there is plenty of it backstage. Every time someone is thirsty, Liu Yonglu will carry the walking chicken backstage, let go of the rope tied to the water bottle and let the chicken hold it in its mouth. After coming out, everyone will have water to drink.

At this time, Liu Yonglu saw the chicken with one foot on the bow of the boat, its head sticking out, its feathers all standing on end, and its tail twitching.

What does that mean...are you trying to imitate a rooster and practice crowing?
He had seen this scene several times in the past two days. The walking chicken seemed to be fascinated by something.

"Yonglu, I feel like I need to go home."

Zou Ji turned his head and said blankly, his tone a little different from before.

"What nonsense! Your home is not in New Brunswick."

Liu Yonglu had just woken up and was still in a daze. He didn't take it seriously and turned on the kettle to brush his teeth first.

What he didn't notice was that at this moment, there was a huge black shadow slowly moving under the sea where the small boat was. The shadow was so large that even the three expedition ships connected head to tail were larger than it.

And it was this black shadow that Zou Ji was staring at, and it seemed that the two sides were conducting some kind of spiritual negotiation.

After a while, Zou Ji jumped off the bow and pecked Liu Yonglu's backpack with his beak. The dark shadow under the boat gradually faded and disappeared, as if it had dived into the deep sea.

"Just eat one piece, eat sparingly."

Liu Yonglu made breakfast quietly, and when the sun rose completely from the sea level, the people in Shiweitian woke up from their sleep one after another.

Today might be a lucky day for several people. Before dusk, a familiar adventure ship finally appeared in everyone's sight.

……

Moses Sadd, New Nurent, Special Investigations Department Hall.

Chief Norman came in through the gate holding a cup of coffee. The staff passing by greeted him one after another when they saw him coming in. Since the exploration of the Lost Sea began, the Investigation Department has suddenly become much quieter. Many investigators have boarded the exploration ship and joined the great expedition.

However, the returns received were very few. Judging from the time, there should have been quite a few exploration ships that reached the first supply point.

I'll take the map and talk to that old fool Gregory later to see if it's true...

General Norman was walking upstairs when he saw several civilian staff members bringing a ladder and apparently wanting to hang something on the wall of the hall.

"Liz, do you want to hang anything?"

Norman walked over and looked up and asked. The ribbon in the female employee's hand was quite large, blue velvet with gold edges, and looked very expensive.

"Oh, it's a banner sent by the Holy See."

As she spoke, the female staff member hung the silk banner on a nail on the wall of the hall, untied the rope tied to it, and the six-foot-long silk banner fell down, with a line of large characters written on it:
“The Patron Saint of Virtue and Art—Saint Bara
There was also a line of small words at the bottom, "To Captain Ricky Baldwin of Investigations."

"puff!"

Chief Norman finally didn't have to replace the curtains this time. He tilted his head and looked carefully at the banner in front of him. The more he looked at it, the more strange it seemed. It was just Saint Baran, so why was it given to Ricky Baldwin?

Is the Holy See afraid that others don't know that our Investigation Department has a patron saint? What if people from other departments see it? Do you pray before entering the Investigation Department? Do I have to set aside two rooms specifically for Ricky to use as a confessional?
"Chief Norman, are you okay?"

The female employee came down from the ladder and quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to the general manager. She didn't know whether the old man was burned or choked...

"Well, I really like this banner. How about hanging it on the door of my study... No, hang it on the door of the wiring room..."

Director Norman was afraid that others would see this hanging at the door of his study and think he was a psycho.

"But... this is what the Holy See Inquisitor strongly requested, to hang it in the center of the hall, and they also sent me a portrait and asked me to hang it together..."

The female staff member pointed to the corner of the wall. Director Norman walked over and tore open the wrapping paper. Wow! Ricky's family photo! He stood in the middle with his arm around Millie Tang, next to him were Xiaohu and Ling'er, and at the back were the little genius brother and sister.

"You said that this painting and the silk banner were sent by the Inquisitor? What is the Inquisitor's name? What are his appearance characteristics?"

Chief Norman suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Oh, a boy and a girl, they seem to be siblings, both of them have blonde hair..."

"If they come again, they'll say I'm not here. I'm on a business trip, and the switchboard room is being renovated recently..."

"Commander, they have already gone upstairs."

The female employee stuck out her tongue. She had no idea these two siblings had such great power that they could force the director of the investigation department to go on a business trip.

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver the painting to the wiring room later, and the silk banner... just hang it here for now."

We still have to give face to the Holy See. At worst, I can move to another place after the little genius brother and sister leave.

Chief Norman went up the stairs to the second floor. He prepared himself for a long time as he reached for the door handle, muttering to himself:
"Not in there, not in there..."

The moment he opened the door, he heard the familiar yet painful greeting:

"The mercy of the Holy Lady shines upon the earth. Good morning, Chief Norman."

"Good morning. Good morning."

Chief Norman sighed imperceptibly and waved. When he looked at Oliver at the desk, he found that his subordinate was holding the receiver with his head and taking notes. When he saw Norman come in, he quickly said:
"Don't hang up yet, the commander-in-chief is here."

Then he took off the receiver and pointed at the phone and said to Norman:

"Chief, Ricky called. He has arrived in the Southern Continent."

"Hurry up and give me the phone. I have something important to tell him! This matter is quite tricky and he is the only one who can solve it!"
