Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Seeing this situation, Dorothy, who was hiding in the carriage, thought badly that although she could control the corpse puppet, the corpse puppet would definitely not be able to do things that she didn't know, even if there was a coachman in front of him.

Faced with such a situation, Dorothy suddenly thought of a solution.

Dorothy controlled the driver in front of the car, pulled out her own revolver from his waist, and then asked the driver to point the gun at the out-of-control horse in front, and shot three times at the horse's head at close range.

Then, amidst a wail, the horse that was shot lost consciousness and was about to fall to the ground. At this moment, Dorothy's corpse puppet ring was activated again, and the "cup" was injected into the dead horse. Spirituality, under the driving of the "cup", the horse's limbs and skeletons began to operate again out of the control of the brain, and their strong hooves stepped on the ground, stabilizing the body that was about to fall, and then completely obeyed Dorothy. According to Xi’s order, she made a U-turn and ran back with the carriage, and passed by a car behind her... Dorothy thought that since she couldn’t drive, she might as well turn the horse into a corpse…

"What's wrong with you! Thomas?!" What happened!

"Come back Thomas! Where are you going!?"

Seeing the companion's carriage suddenly turned around and ran in the opposite direction after a few unexpected gunshots, the drivers in the other two carriages couldn't help shouting loudly. After seeing that the other party did not respond, they also pulled the reins one after another, and headed towards the carriage ahead. Chase away.

In this way, Dorothy relied on the corpse puppet ring to control the coachman and horse of her own car to run in front, while another car chased behind, and a carriage chase in the dark countryside began like this.

Looking at the vehicles ahead of his companions all the way forward, the sunroofs on the roofs of the two cars behind were opened, and two of the passengers stood up, and they took out pistols from their waists and pointed at the high-speed carriage ahead and shouted.

"Stop Thomas! Or we'll shoot!"

Obviously, their warnings did not receive any reply. Seeing that their warnings were invalid, the two people who got out of the car window directly pulled the trigger, aiming at the vehicle in front of them and firing bullets.

Due to the shaking of the car and the movement of the target, the bullets did not hit very well, but one still hit the carriage, and the bullets entering the carriage almost whistled past Dorothy's ears.

'Fuck...you can't stay in the carriage..."

While thinking, Dorothy wrapped her hands with her sleeves, and then took the thick book in her hand and slammed it against the front glass of the carriage. The front window is on the driver's seat, which is slightly safer than in the compartment.

Then, Dorothy manipulated the coachman named Thomas, holding her pistol from the coachman's seat and climbing backwards to the roof of the car, holding the raised decoration on the car roof to stabilize her figure, and pointing the gun at the chasing car behind her with the other hand. Return fire.

All of a sudden, there were repeated gunshots on the dark road, and this car chase officially turned into a car chase and shootout scene.

Chapter 35 Pursuit

In the wilderness on the western outskirts of Igwent, three carriages galloped on the deserted road, chasing each other one behind the other. silence.

Lying on the coachman's seat in front of the car, Dorothy was preoccupied with two things at this time. While controlling the puppet horses to gallop along the road and turn around corners, at the same time controlling the puppet Thomas to fight back with a pistol on the roof of the car. All of a sudden, there were bullets all around, and Dorothy heard the sound of bullets hitting the carriage from time to time.

Since both sides were in a state of high-speed and unstable motion, it was very difficult to aim and hit. Most of them were empty guns. Even the bullets that could hit hit the carriage, and did not cause any casualties.

On the roof of the carriage, Thomas the puppet kept shooting at his former companions in the rear. Since the revolver’s ammunition capacity was not high, he quickly ran out of bullets. At this time, Dorothy controlled Thomas to shoot the empty ones. The gun was thrown at himself, and he threw the full gun to Thomas. Thomas continued to shoot after receiving the full gun, while Dorothy took the opportunity to reload the empty gun, and then changed it again. Thomas continued to reload the gun that had already been filled with bullets, thus largely making up for the firepower vacuum period.

Pulling the cart, shooting, reloading, the main body and the two corpse puppets were all used, and Dorothy started the three-line operation all of a sudden.

Since it was Thomas the puppet who fought back on the roof of the car, the pursuers behind the car aimed at him and shot. Although it was difficult to hit, there would always be a hit under constant shooting. Soon, the car Thomas on the top was hit twice in the chest, but this damage was not enough to affect Thomas's movements, because he was just a walking corpse, as long as the key action organization was not damaged, as long as the spiritual source of the "cup" If it doesn't stop, then he can continue to fight back.

As long as you activate the "Blood Locking Hanger", even the poorest marksmanship can win the battle with the gun. Under the super high fault tolerance, Dorothy manipulated Thomas, who had already been shot four times but was still strong, to finally win. Hit a person in the opposite carriage, and the man who was shot through the chest was killed on the spot, and just as he was about to fall, Dorothy undoes Thomas's corpse transformation, and then extends the spiritual thread of the corpse ring to the rear , Linked to the body that was shot dead by Thomas.

Accompanied by the influx of the spirituality of the "cup", the eyes of the newly dead corpse on the chasing carriage began to turn, and the whole body began to move up again. He clenched the pistol still in his hand, and silently pointed it at the side. The teammate on the vehicle who was still shooting forward pulled the trigger.

"Bah!"

With the sound of gunfire, the pursuer on the roof of the carriage next to him was also shot, and was killed by friendly fire. Since the two carriages of the pursuer were not far from each other, and they were unprepared, this shot easily killed them all. Life.

Immediately afterwards, Dorothy wanted to continue to control the bodies of the pursuers and shoot and kill the two drivers, but they had already noticed the abnormality in the carriage behind them, and one of the drivers quickly pulled the reins to make the carriage shake, wanting to Swing the top corpse doll down, and the corpse doll tilted its head. The gun missed the coachman and hit the horse instead.

Amidst a neighing sound, the horse that had been shot in the body completely lost control and slammed into the friendly carriage beside it. The two carriages collided sideways, and the reins were entangled with each other. In addition to the imbalance caused by the collision, the two carriages The carriage overturned almost at the same time, rolling to the ground amidst the chaos.

At this time, Dorothy's carriage continued to drive forward.

And in the messy carriage, two figures slowly climbed up, they were the two drivers of the carriage.

Because of the overturned vehicle, the two coachmen were covered in bruises and covered in blood at this time, but their bodies still stood upright, their eyes fixed on the direction of Dorothy's carriage, and their expressions were full of silence.

"You can't pay for it..."

"The task must be completed..."

"It's time...the time of dedication..."

"Only by being transformed into food first... can you eat gluttonous food at that banquet..."

While muttering, the two coachmen took out a palm-sized ancient papyrus from their clothes. On the papyrus, complex and mysterious patterns were drawn, and in the center of these patterns was an abstract symbol of a cup.

"I take my body as my food...Please ask for a blood cup..."

Muttering, the two coachmen slapped the straw paper on their foreheads, and then the straw paper automatically ignited red flames. After the straw paper burned out, an abstract imprint of a cup was left on the foreheads of the two coachmen , exuding a bright red light.

Then, the eyes of the two coachmen were red, and they ignored the scars on their bodies, and chased after the car that was going far away... at a very fast speed.

……

On the galloping carriage, Dorothy, who was sitting on the driver's seat, let out a long sigh of relief when she saw that she had successfully dealt with the pursuers. Just as she was thinking about where to stop, she suddenly heard a voice from behind. The change that came.

Poking her head out to look behind the car, Dorothy saw a shocking scene.

On the road behind the car, there were two figures galloping at extreme speed at this time, their legs and feet were not stopping at a very fast speed, and as they approached the carriage that Dorothy was riding at a high speed, Dorothy recognized the two figures , that was the driver of the two previous wagons that were overturned by him!

'Fuck... When did these two guys catch up, how did they run on two legs than four! '

For the two coachmen who were about to catch up with him just by running, Dorothy was startled suddenly, but the action did not stop. He re-manipulated Thomas on the carriage to move, and drove towards the two chasing drivers. gun shooting.

Amidst a series of gunshots, one coachman was shot to the end, while the other coachman had already run quite close to the carriage, and then he jumped straight onto the roof of the carriage, scaring Dorothy a lot. Jump.

'Is this shit a human body? ! '

Dorothy manipulated Thomas to raise his gun at the coachman who was jumping on the roof of the carriage, intending to shoot at close range, but the speed of the coachman was already a step faster, and he slapped Thomas with one paw, the powerful force not only Only the gun in Thomas' hand was shot away, and his whole body was also shot down from the roof of the car. For a moment, Dorothy lost the barrier.

After solving the last obstacle, the ferocious-looking coachman continued to pounce on the coachman's seat, and Dorothy, who was hiding on the coachman's seat, couldn't help frowning when she saw the brutal coachman attacking.

'Oops...can it only be done with Dragon Roar? '

Facing the immediate crisis, just as Dorothy was about to use the last trump card, Dragon Roar, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and a gray-white stone spear flew from afar at extreme speed, and precisely pierced through the coachman. The coachman screamed and was led backward by the heavy and long spear, and was nailed to death on the road after being taken out of the cart.

Seeing this scene, Dorothy was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head to look in the direction where the spear was coming from, and saw several figures standing at the intersection in the distance.

Those were four gray-white armored knights who looked like stone statues. One of them remained motionless in the posture of throwing a spear. In the middle of these four knights stood an old man.

Roughclothes, apron, sleeves, work hat, gray all over, gray hair... This is the janitor of St. Amanda's school, Dean.

At this time, Dean was smiling, holding a motionless gecko in his hand... Facing Dorothy in the car ahead, he shouted with a smile.

"You can stop, Miss Methhouse."

Chapter 36 Identity

In the western suburbs of Eagle Winter, St. Amanda's School at night.

At night, after dinner, the male students who were going to have evening classes suddenly heard a loud gunshot from the distance of the campus. All of a sudden, curious boys crowded to the windows of the classroom. Looking at the darkness that could not be seen clearly in the distance, they discussed fiercely what happened outside, until the stern teacher pushed them all back to their seats.

The lights were still on in the classrooms of the school, and night classes were held, but at this time, in a secret and spacious basement under the school, the lights were still brightly lit.

This is a wide space located underground in St. Amanda's School. Countless large gas lamps hanging here drive away the darkness here and illuminate it brightly. There are many desks and cabinets in this underground space. And these tables and cabinets are all piled up with various stone carvings.

There are smaller human heads, slightly larger busts, and larger full-length statues. On tables, cabinets, chairs, and on the ground, all kinds of statues are placed everywhere, and each statue is carved lifelike. In addition to the statue, there are many uncarved plain stones of different sizes standing beside the wall. There are several large ventilation openings on the wall. There are slowly rotating fan blades in the ventilation openings. I don't know where the power comes from.

A layer of white ash has accumulated on the floor of the basement. Various kinds of stools are placed scatteredly. There are all kinds of hammers and chisels in the corners. In some places, there are also easels and drawing boards. The light and dark sketches and structural sketches of geometrical bodies, but they are not colored, and there are only pencils on the drawing board without any paint.

Generally speaking, it looks like a stone carving workshop, and Dorothy is standing in the center of the workshop and looking around curiously, and not far from Dorothy, the school worker Dean is According to several black-and-white photos from different angles, a majestic male bust was carved with the tools in hand, and the sound of clanging echoed in the space.

On the open space beside Dorothy, there were five corpses covered with white cloths.

"Tonight, thank you very much, sir, for saving me in a crisis..."

After roughly surveying the surrounding environment, Dorothy shifted her gaze to Dean who was concentrating on carving. Dean continued to work and said with a smile.

"Hehe... These minions of the Holy Communion are not following the rules and causing trouble around my territory. It is only natural for me to take care of them. You should thank yourself for being saved, Miss Messhouse..."

As he spoke, Dean glanced at the five corpses on one side, and then spoke with some praise.

"Among the five minions, you solved four by yourself. In the end, I just helped you deal with the aftermath a little bit. When I received the message from your puppet, your carriage had already set off for a while. , if you hadn't forced them all to rush back, it would be too late to save you at my speed..."

Then, Dean glanced at Dorothy, and continued.

"This boldness, calmness, thinking... It's incredible that a girl your age can have these qualities. I'm so glad that St. Amanda has such an excellent student like you, and it's a girl. The young masters who are twittering and pretentious at night are too strong."

"Sir, thank you..." Dorothy bowed slightly to Dean modestly, and then continued to speak.

"Now I am far from being excellent. I still have a lot to learn, and I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, sir."

Listening to Dorothy's words, Dean smiled slightly, looked at Dorothy and then spoke.

"Ask me if you have any questions? Heh... yes, but before that, you have to answer some of my questions. First of all, how do you see my extraordinaryness? Do you have any ability to identify extraordinaryness?"

Dean said with a smile that after Dorothy got into the car of the Red Communion, she sent the gecko dolls all the way to the campus to find Dean, the school worker who was still building the garden, on the soil in front of him. Directly underlined the words "Crimson Communion" and pointed out the direction. This was one of the survival methods Dorothy was desperately looking for, because she knew that this old man was probably extraordinary.

Listening to Dean's words, Dorothy thought for a while, and then spoke in an analytical tone.

"First of all, you caught my attention when you fell down in front of my brother and me and dropped two stone statues, and then my brother caught them all directly. At this time, you praised me My brother said, 'Young man has good skills'... When you praised my brother's 'skills' at that time, you had already attracted my attention. Of course, it was just a little bit. .”

Listening to Dorothy's words, Dean also nodded, and then spoke.

"continue."

"Then I became interested in the stone statues in the school. Because of the little attention I had before, I chose to ask you. At that time, you were cleaning the stone statues. At that time, I observed you more and found that you were cleaning the stone statues. It was very meticulous... no, not only meticulous, but also very regulated."

Starting to walk slowly in the room, Dorothy recalled a bit and then continued to speak.

"In my observation, it's not a rough wipe without any rules, but along the various structures of the stone statue. You have to wipe it several times for the place that can be wiped with a cloth cover. Every one is a human face. You have not let go of the inconspicuous structures on the body, some small places, such as the underside of the eyelids.

"What's more important is that the way you wipe the stone statues is really interesting. You never use a rag to wipe back and forth in one place repeatedly like ordinary people, but you always wipe one way in one direction and then start again and then wipe the second one. , It's like... the chisel can only carve stones in one direction when carving, I think this may be due to some kind of habit...

"Heh... To be honest, I think you are not cleaning the stone statue by rubbing it, but reshaping the structure of the stone statue, reshaping the process of its carving. I don't think an ordinary school worker would do this... ..."

Stopping and walking, Dorothy said to Dean, but at this time Dean had already stopped his work, smiled and applauded Dorothy lightly.

"Haha...the observation is careful and meticulous...there is another rare character..."

Facing Dean's applause, Dorothy did not stop, but continued to speak.

"When I got here, I became interested in you enough, and then I observed you very seriously. From my observation, your physical fitness is very good, and you can't see any actions that an old man should have at all. Inconvenient, it's not like someone who can fall out of thin air on a flat ground at all, which makes your previous fall look like a deliberate attempt to me. Of course, so far these are my executive guesses and conjectures.

"I am really sure that you have a problem, so I used a little bit of trickery. I manipulated my small puppets to sneak into the school's archives and other places to collect information about you. Finally, I found the school staff in the financial department. On the roster, there is also the payment of wages, where I saw that the janitor named Dean has never received any salary at the school.

"So here I have almost confirmed your identity. You are the principal of this school, Mr. Aldrich. Although I have confirmed that you are not ordinary, I still have doubts about whether you are extraordinary. However, in the previous At such a critical moment, I can't manage too much, so I ask you for help."

After Dorothy finished her analysis, Dean laughed and spoke directly.

"Hahaha... not bad, you are really beyond my expectations, Miss Methhouse, very good... your analysis is very good... yes, I am the current principal of this school, Audrey strange……"

Aldridge smiled and walked away from the stone statue, put down the tools in his hand, then sat on the seat and watched Dorothy speak.

"I am very satisfied with your answer, and I am impressed by your intelligence, Miss Methhouse. Now it is your turn to ask me questions."

Listening to Aldrich's words, Dorothy looked calm, and then spoke slowly.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Aldrich...Then my first question is... May I ask what is your motivation for coming to test our brothers and sisters on the first day? What did you find on the first day?"

Dorothy asked Aldrich seriously, and this was a question she was very concerned about. She was not sure what was wrong with herself or Greg, so that Aldrich noticed it.

Hearing Dorothy's words, Aldridge didn't answer immediately, but after taking a sip of the tea on the table, he looked at Dorothy with a smile and continued to speak.

"What do you think? Miss Methhouse, or . . . daring little girl . . . "

Aldrich's words were not as peaceful as before, but turned into another strong and powerful voice, and Dorothy had heard this voice before, at the secret gathering she boldly participated in not long ago.

This is the sound of "Ash Hill".

……

Chapter 37 Stone

'really……'

Listening to Aldrich's words, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief and thought in her heart that Dorothy wasn't too surprised that the old man in front of her was Gray Hill.

Because, when she was still in the carriage, she had already seen four statue-like knights in stone armor standing around Aldridge. It was very similar, and since then, Dorothy has actually been speculating whether Aldridge is Ashhill.

But now the other party has admitted this, which made Dorothy heave a sigh of relief and at the same time had other doubts in her heart.

"Sure enough...you are Mr. Huiqiu in the gathering. So it was me who you were planning to test out at the beginning. I don't know where I caught your attention?"

Dorothy questioned Huiqiu once again. Obviously, Huiqiu probably saw that Dorothy was the little girl who made a deal with him at the secret meeting, and Dorothy was not sure who she was. Aldrich noticed that something was showing his feet.

Listening to Dorothy's words, Aldridge kept smiling, waved his hand and said.

"I think, Miss Messhouse, you haven't specially practiced how to fake your voice. During that meeting, your voice was actually very unnatural, and I immediately heard that you were deliberately raising your voice." To speak in a different tone is to change your voice on purpose.”

'sound……'

Listening to Aldrich's words, Dorothy suddenly thought of the problem. She didn't know how to fake her voice professionally. She was just deliberately raising her pitch when she spoke in the rally. If someone who understands this matter listens carefully , you can definitely hear the problem.

"It's okay for you to fool ordinary people like this, but in my opinion, your way of changing your voice is very rough, far from skilled and professional. Not only did I hear the problem, but I also used extraordinary items to keep you in the dark. Afterwards, I tried to lower the tone to restore it, and simulated several original sounds that you might have, but I didn't expect that I would hear one of them in the corridor of this school not long after..."
