Haunted Places Live

Chu Yang sat on the edge of the destroyed roof of London Tower Bridge, where only one tower remained, looking down at the river calmly winding to the distance below.Due to the appearance of the previous deep divers, there is a thick layer of green algae floating on the river water, and it is filled with greasy colors that are constantly changing and melting in the sun.It is obviously filthy, but it has the same, deformed beauty.

Only when Chu Yang sat at such a high place could his ears be a little quiet.

Countless voices, the voices of countless dead, surrounded him all the time, day and night.Even when he fell asleep, those dead people stood stiffly by his bed, staring at him with dead eyes, and kept chanting, sometimes clearly, sometimes inaudible .

They told him he would bring death into the world.Endless destruction and death.They said that the people he loves will be killed by him one by one, their blood will stain his eyes red and corrupt his soul, and in the end he will be alone and suspended in the empty and boundless universe, surrounded by only Endless nothingness.

He retrieved the ancient crystal he had thrown away, but it shattered the moment it touched his skin.

Sometimes when faced with those Devourer subordinates who obeyed his orders, he would suddenly want to cry, and he had to use all his strength to hold back the tears until his chest hurt.He didn't even know why he wanted to cry.Sometimes he would suddenly want to laugh again, and what he said to his subordinates who reported the casualties was definitely not something that could make people laugh.But he couldn't help but still laughed, and the other fourth-level stared at him with horrified eyes like an inhuman monster.

Even the Devourers began to fear him.His strength and instability under the disguised indifference make all his subordinates walk on a tightrope, for fear of accidentally breaking his precarious balance.

Emotions ran wild in his body like a wild horse, arousing all kinds of uncontrollable physiological reactions.Fortunately, the Prophet didn't call him back, otherwise he would definitely be ruined immediately.

But now, he doesn't care even if he wears it.He is the strongest Chu Yang, and what the prophet wants is the strongest Chu Yang, isn't it.

Maybe he's where he should be right now.

"Priest Chu." Park Yujun quietly appeared behind him.Now he is the only one who dares to approach Chu Yang, "The prophet has a new order."

Chu Yang didn't speak.He didn't hear it.

Pu Yujun then grabbed the crumbling railing and took another step to the side, "Priest Chu?"

Chu Yang suddenly turned to stare at him, which startled Pu Yujun.Chu Yang asked, "What did you say?"

"The prophet has a new order. Everyone is waiting for you." Park Yujun said carefully.He can also feel that Priest Chu has become a little different since the battle with Hydera and Dagon.

Chu Yang stood up, leaning on a cane, and walked over the one-meter-wide guardrail in a strange way.He walks in a strange way, with the back heels sticking to the front toes of each step, and he seems to be counting in his mouth.He was a little lame, and his walking speed was not fast, so he slowed down even more.When he was about to walk in front of Pu Yujun, Chu Yang frowned, clicked his tongue irritably, then turned around and walked back.

Seeing Chu Yang walking up and down the edge of the towering tower with a cane, and next to a cliff hundreds of feet high, Pu Yujun broke out in a cold sweat, "Priest Chu? Come back quickly! What are you doing?!"

Chu Yang ignored him, walked to the place where he had been sitting just now, counted his steps in that strange way again, and turned back again when he was about to reach.By the third time, he seemed to be finally satisfied, and then he walked up to Pu Yujun, whose legs were limp from fright, and let the other party grab his arm and help him down.

The Shantak bird had already landed in front of them, carrying the two of them down from the step.

The three surviving mid-level five commanders under Chu Yang gathered in the National Art Museum, which was full of dust and flying debris, but still vaguely recognizable in its grandeur.There are still several intact paintings on the wall, but the most conspicuous one is the pair of fifteen sunflowers.

A fifth-level commander wearing an Anubis mask was standing in front of the painting, and a woman wearing a black cat mask stepped forward, "A painting of a madman. Maybe it is only possible if you are crazy." So frantically coming back to describe the same thing, overthrowing and self-destructing over and over again, doing the same thing over and over again, pathological obsession.”

"Madness is the cornerstone of greatness." Anubis said, "Sense has given us too many restrictions, and only by completely abandoning them can we obtain real inspiration and strength." He said, suddenly laughing, "Look at Priest Chu Know."

"You think he's crazy?" the black cat asked.

Anubis said, "Yesterday, I received a message from Priest Yan that it failed to capture Lynch. I wanted to report to Priest Chu, but I couldn't find him anywhere. Then I found him in an old video store. When I found him, I saw him holding a bunch of CDs in his hand, talking to an empty room. But as soon as he heard my footsteps, he threw the CDs away and became normal."

The black cat sighed, "But how could he be crazy? Isn't the price of his stigmata the ability to empathize?"

"I heard that he always goes to the Black Tower before setting off, maybe he read some manuscripts that he shouldn't read." Anubis said.

"Should we report back to the Prophet?" asked the third middle-level fifth-level observer wearing a glutton mask who had been listening to the conversation between the two of them without making a sound.

Anubis said, "I have already reported it. But the prophet doesn't seem to care much."

While they were talking, suddenly the three of them fell silent at the same time.The slightly uneven footsteps and the hollow sound of the cane landing were obviously the objects of their discussion.Chu Yang was wearing a black suit and a bird-head mask. He couldn't see his expression, but it made people feel more uneasy.

"What is the prophet's order?" Chu Yang asked bluntly.

"The religious capitals of the Four Holy Sees have arrived in Windsor, and they may wish to connect several towns including Windsor to form a line of defense between London and Oxford. The Prophet hopes that we will immediately march to Windsor and get rid of at least one religious leader." Anubis replied respectfully.

After Chu Yang heard it, he just said "Got it." Then he turned around and went out again.

The remaining three people looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling more and more bewildered and uneasy.

Chu Yang knew that he should not let out the wind or reserve time for evacuating civilians as before.But anyway, now that he has come to this stage, even his subordinates can feel his various strange behaviors, so it is impossible for the Prophet not to know.But as long as he can complete the prophet's order, maybe he won't be held accountable too much.

Even if it fails, at most it will be eliminated by the Prophet.Maybe there is still a chance to die with the Prophet.

He delayed for an extra day before he started marching towards Windsor Town.

Having used the stigmata three times in a row, it is actually not suitable for him to go on the expedition at this time. It is almost inevitable to use the stigmata to get rid of a coach.But in his current state of mind, if he overuses again, he may exceed the limit that can never be recovered.Perhaps he will be trapped in a crazy consciousness torture for the rest of his life, until one day he completely destroys himself.

But...he heard that Lynch might also be in Windsor Town.

Will there be a chance to see him again?But does the meeting also mean that he might have to do something to Lynch?

What if Lynch recognizes him and takes him away?

Will he go with him?

Chu Yang actually couldn't think that far.Suffering from crazy hallucinations and guilt, he just wants to see Lynch now, like a terrified child wants to see his mother.An instinctive urge to be redeemed and comforted.

However, what he didn't know was that after Antonio arrived, he immediately ordered Lynch and others to escort the refugees to Oxford for resettlement.Lynch refused the mission and wanted to stay in Windsor Town, but after seeing a few people brought by Antonio, he changed his mind.

Along with Antonio, in addition to his entourage, there are three zero-level observers.

Chen Yi, Zhu Heze and Su Yu.

The three of them never really left the control of the Presbyterian Church.At the beginning, they fled the city according to what Chu Yang said, but every time they settled down soon, they heard that the Devourer was advancing the line of defense again.Once they encountered a group of moon beasts who were plundering and hunting everywhere, and were "just in time" rescued by the elders.Their home was gone, and they fled around with a group of refugees. If they were not careful, they would be killed by scary monsters that appeared everywhere or by colorful poisonous mist that floated out of nowhere. They couldn't even sleep at ease, and they were afraid every day.Moreover, they also lost contact with Chu Yang, and they didn't know whether Chu Yang was dead or alive.

What's more, Chen Yi's health also collapsed, and he started to have a high fever, and he couldn't find a doctor.

So when they heard that Chu Yang was in England, they agreed to come together.Anyway, there is only one dead end to stay.

Lynch didn't understand why Antonio brought the three of them.He didn't know that Chu Yang from the devourer camp was his little Yang.But Antonio must have his purpose in doing things, and it is definitely not as simple as helping Chen Qi to heal his illness and reuniting Chu Yang with the three of them.

So Lynch decided to take the three of them, Qiao Zhuang, and run away in disguise. After sending them to a safe place, he came back to find Chu Yang.

It's just that Lynch didn't expect that on the way to Oxford, Chen Yi and Zhu Heze quickly sensed that something was wrong with their "Brother Chu".

They took the train with other refugees. The compartment was very crowded, and the smells secreted from the human body were mixed together, making it difficult to breathe.Chen Yi leaned on Zhu Heze's body, her cheeks were blushing due to the low fever.She looked at Chu Yang who was sitting opposite and quietly looking out of the window, but there was some strange melancholy in her bright eyes.

Chu Yang the Devourer pretended to be looking at the scenery outside the window, but he was actually looking at Chen Yi, Zhu Heze, and Su Yu, who was sleeping soundly beside him, through the reflection of the window.

His former friends, friends who were killed by him.

Chu Yang once secretly saw Chen Yi who was hospitalized, she didn't recognize him at that time, she still smiled sweetly at him, just like in her memory.It's just that she was paler and thinner than she remembered.

Devourer Chu Yang felt a long dull pain in his heart, which was recovering consciousness little by little.

Seeing that reality hadn't faded was like some sort of cruel reminder of how much he had lost.

Relatives, lovers, friends, even yourself.

He has nothing left.

Both Chen Yi and Zhu Heze felt that Chu Yang in front of them was a little strange.

Su Yu didn't feel this way, but the two of them always felt that Chu Yang was different.Some kind of indescribable place, obviously the appearance, demeanor and way of speaking are exactly the same, but there is a kind of... a sense of coldness.

Kind of like there's something in between.

They have seen too many sad pictures along the way.At the station, due to the limited space, many families were forced to separate in order to let women and children go first.She and Zhu Heze couldn't help weeping in the scene of farewell, but Chu Yang didn't respond at all.

It's not the kind of forced calm, but really... indifference.

There was no wave in his eyes, no trace of pity.

This is different from Chu Yang in their memory.

Similar situations kept happening, and Zhu Heze even deliberately talked about some past topics, wanting to test them out.But the other party answered fluently, without any doubts.

But she just didn't feel right.

Moreover, Lin Qi's way of getting along with Brother Chu is completely different.She still remembered the first time she saw Lynch in the hospital, the other party would hook shoulders with Brother Chu whenever he had the chance, and he almost seemed to be glued to Brother Chu's body.But now, the two of them can be described as polite and polite. They don't even touch each other's fingers when delivering water glasses, as if... trying to avoid it on purpose.

It's not the kind of avoidance of breaking up, but... deliberately keeping a distance, as if avoiding suspicion.

And up to now, Chu Yang has never called her "Xiao Nizi" once, nor rubbed her head like before.

At this time, someone in the aisle was watching some very noisy video on their mobile phone, and a group of people were watching it, talking a lot.Although Chen Yi doesn't understand English very well, she still knows some curse words.Hearing the fierce and hateful voices of those people cursing, she also took a look, but suddenly saw a familiar face.

It appeared to be a candid video.

She saw Chu Yang in a black suit, with a cane in one hand and a bird-head mask in the other, walking in the background of the ruined walls with a blank expression.Behind him, followed by several devourers wearing masks.

Chen Yi held her breath and pulled Zhu Heze hard.Zhu Heze also saw it, and frowned.

Lin Qi came back with two bottles of mineral water at this time, and seeing Chen Yi and Zhu Heze's expressions were not right, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yi looked at Chu Yang who was wearing sunglasses and a mask and asked, "You're not Brother Chu, are you?"
