Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert frowned. He didn't know whether the little boy was polluted and became like this, or whether the strange fish was polluted and became like this.

When the "little boy" saw that Hobert could fly, he immediately began to dive.

Hobert dives underwater and gives chase, quickly catching the strange fish because he's wearing an "ocean pendant."

But the strange fish was too slippery and there was nothing he could do. Hobert had no choice but to dig his hands into the strange fish's flesh.

Hobert wears an "ocean pendant", and even the fish living underwater are no match for him.

He dragged the strange fish and swam hard to the shore, then threw the strange fish onto the shore.

Even "Red Glove", who often handles extraordinary cases, was surprised after seeing the appearance of the strange fish.

This fish is a bit like a grouper that is as long as one person, but behind its two eyes, the upper body of a seven or eight-year-old boy grows.

At this time the little boy shouted: "I can't leave the water, I, I'm about to suffocate, I'm about to suffocate!"

It can be seen that the "little boy" seems to have no bones and his arms are limp, but in the water, it is enough to look real!

Leonard pulled Hobert, who was coming ashore, and whispered: "I didn't expect you to have so many magical items on you."

It would be difficult to catch this strange fish without the extraordinary items from the "Sailor" path.

Hobert smiled and said: "Not many, just one or two."

Leonard curled his lips in an ungentlemanly manner, indicating that he did not believe such nonsense.

Dai Li immediately began to question the strange fish: "Answer my questions carefully, and I will put you back into the water."

This strange fish probably only had the IQ of a seven or eight-year-old child, and immediately shouted: "Ask, ask, I, I can't breathe!"

"How did you become like this?"

"It's all because of that evil white mist a few days ago!"

Hobert then asked: "What's in the white mist?"

"I, I seem to see the shadow of a wolf!"

Hobert was stunned: "Do you know what a wolf is?"

"I have fragments of the memories of several people I ate!"

Hobert thought about it for a moment: "I remember that the advanced extraordinary creatures in the 'divineer' pathway are basically all in the shape of wolves!"

Hobert didn’t know if this was because he inherited Fregra’s genes? Or was it just a group of wolves that contained the extraordinary characteristics of the "divineer" as early as the first season?

Then he recalled the letter Selina wrote to him. The pattern formed by the letters was a wolf head.

At this time, Leonard suddenly said: "Demon Wolf of Mist!"

Hobert was stunned. This must be another reminder from his grandfather!

Dai Li had the authority to read the relevant information, so she explained to the other team members: "The 'Demon Wolf of Mist' is an extraordinary creature known for its weirdness and changeability. It is said that its strength is higher than that of a demigod.

"It has the ability to control marionettes, and has extremely strong anti-divination and anti-reconnaissance capabilities."

Hobert thought about it for a moment, and seemed to have no impression of the process by which Mr. Ke obtained this main material.

"The information is getting clearer!" Dai Li said: "The source of the pollution is a 'Demon Wolf of Fog'. Its condition may be very bad now and is close to losing control!"

Dai Li thought for a while: "We have to find a way to get the tourists here out of danger as soon as possible!"

After identifying the source of the pollution, Dai Li also determined that this was not a problem that the "Red Gloves" members in the villa could solve, so her mission was completely changed from solving the source of the pollution to rescuing the tourists here.

At this time, bursts of screams came from the direction of the villa.

Dai Li immediately ordered everyone to go back and check.

The monster on the ground shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, you promised to put me back into the water."

"I forgot about you." Dai Li grabbed the strange fish, which screamed and quickly lost its life.

Dai Li kicked the fish into the water: "I fulfilled my promise and put you back into the water. But I didn't say whether I put you back into the water alive or dead."

Hobert, who was walking at the back, smiled. He finally told Kelp that he had lied, and that Dai Li had planned to "fulfill her promise in another way" from the beginning.

There was still some distance from the villa. Everyone saw a huge moth flying in the mid-air of the villa. Its wings were sprinkled with a lot of ash powder. People in the courtyard of the villa who inhaled the ash powder seemed to be asleep. , fell to the ground.

There is also a huge moth flying low in the sky. It is very powerful and can throw a person very far.

Soon everyone in the yard who was not injured or who had not inhaled the dust fled into the hall.

The two moths again targeted Dai Li and others who had just entered the villa. They took out their revolvers and were about to shoot when Leonard suddenly shouted: "That's, that's Hunter!"

Only then did everyone realize that beneath the long tentacles and large compound eyes on the moth's head was a human face.

Hobert could vaguely tell that they looked like one of the two "Red Gloves" members he had rescued!

"Shoot!" Dai Li ordered.

Bang bang bang~

Under the attack of "Demon Hunting Bullets", two "moths" fell to the ground, making a painful sizzling sound.

The members of the "Red Gloves" pointed their guns at a "moth". They hesitated for a while, but finally pulled the trigger together!

At this time, everyone stepped forward to check and finally determined that these were the two team members who had been rescued by Hobert before and could not wake up after fainting.

Daley asked Hobert: "You said before that you rescued them from the cocoons, right?"

"Yes." Hobert said: "They should have been seriously polluted at that time, but this pollution seems to be difficult to detect."

Not only Hobert, but also Daley and the others did not notice any signs of contamination in their two companions.

The companions rescued by Hobert became like this. The other two team members who asked for help should be in danger. Dai Li ordered the two team members to ride in another carriage to ask for help.

At this time, Leonard asked: "Should we all retreat? Wait for higher-level assistance?"

Dai Li shook his head: "I brought 1-068. Even if we encounter a source of pollution, we will still have the strength to fight."

But it would be best if there was no direct conflict.

After two more team members left, the only "Red Gloves" members in the villa were Daly, Leonard, and a Sequence 7 named Jace.

At this time, the tourists who had just escaped to the hall came out to check the situation. They were all surprised to see such a big moth.

Daly asked Jess to deal with these tourists and organize the tourists to rescue the injured.

She, Leonard and Hobert took a brief rest before heading to the third suspicious location.

At this time, Hobert has no hope of saving Selina. She may have entered the pine forest or the village on the other side of the mountain. No matter what, she has either turned into a moth or been seriously injured. pollute.

But since we have already visited two suspicious locations, we might as well go to the last one to get more information.

Entering the pine forest, the surroundings seemed to immediately become quiet, or in other words, there was no breath of life here.

There are many cocoons of different sizes on and under the trees.

Hobert cut open two of them with a knife. Some of the cocoons were humans and some were beasts. Logically speaking, these corpses should have lost their lives in the past few days, but without exception, they were all highly decomposed, and the bodies were gray-brown. Under the skin, many densely packed gray moth larvae emerged.

Hobert suddenly thought of the gray moths that had fallen on the hunting team, and he suddenly felt sick.

Suddenly, Hobert's scalp felt cold and he felt extremely dangerous. He stabbed the knife in the air, but nothing hit.

Then he looked up and saw a pair of huge eyes.

Hobert suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if he saw a strange brilliance from the dense canopy of trees. The brilliance was very dazzling and charming, and it almost attracted all of Hobert's attention.

Hobert used his last bit of concentration to inject spirituality into the "Order Crystal" on the cane, and a black shield immediately appeared around him.

At this moment, Hobert seemed to have lost all his vision. Almost out of instinct, Hobert threw himself to the ground and rolled, his vision becoming dim again.

A gray moth the size of a rhinoceros landed next to the three people. Its tail had a structure like a scorpion's tail. It was stabbing Hobert just now. Fortunately, Hobert used the "Order Crystal" to use " The power of "The Kingdom of Disorder" freed him from the state of hallucination.

Seeing that Hobert was about to wake up, the moth quickly flapped its wings to take off. Hobert rushed over and cut off its "scorpion tail" with a knife.

Then the blade of the knife moved upward and opened a hole in its belly.

As the moth screamed, Hobert used "Lightning Strike" again, hitting the moth's head.

The moth fell to the ground, but it was still not dead.

There was a numbing "buzzing" sound all around. Hobert, as well as Daley and Leonard who woke up from the hallucination, found that they were surrounded by countless moths, some of which were normal moths. In terms of size, some are as big as cats and dogs!

"The golden dark clouds are floating over the still land; the vast silent fields are shining with the light of dew!"

As Leonard recited the verses in a melodious voice, invisible silent waves rippled around him. Most of the gray moths became quiet, or retracted their wings and fell to the ground from mid-air.

Hobert saw the right moment and chopped off the head of the giant gray moth that was struck by lightning with one knife!

The six legs and wings of the gray moth were struggling desperately, as if its vitality was becoming more vigorous.

Hobert once again saw the pair of wings with huge eyes, which were on a pair of hind wings. Even though Hobert was mentally prepared, he still felt a little trance-like.

He quickly cut off the pair of wings with a knife, so that the pattern of the wings faced the ground.

"Many times I lament the endurance of life." A voice suddenly appeared on the tree branch behind Hobert and others.

That was Harold, and of course the three people under the tree knew that it must be the fake Harold.

Then Hobert had doubts about his spirituality and abilities. The hallucination attack of the giant gray moth just now hit both Sequence 5s.

Now a person suddenly appeared behind them, and Hobert and Daley didn't notice it.

Harold said: "It was originally an ordinary gray moth, using the one in a hundred thousand, or even one in a million chance to survive the initial stage of contamination.

"Later I discovered that it actually had the ability to absorb pollution, and its offspring also had this ability, so I simply tricked some people into coming to this forest to raise them and absorb the pollution from me.

“It turns out that it has the ability to hallucinate. It does not have extraordinary characteristics, but its wings are like a magic circle, which can make people hallucinate.

"And the power it drives this magic circle is the pollution absorbed from my body. I am of a very high level. Angels and below will be affected by this illusion magic circle."

He paused and then smiled: "You have done me a big favor, otherwise I wouldn't know how to deal with it."

Harold looked at Hobert, obviously very interested in something on Hobert that could isolate such a high level of pollution.

Hobert guessed: "Are you the contaminated Demonic Wolf of Fog?"

"It seems that you have obtained a lot of information about me." Harold admitted openly: "Yes, it's me."

Hobert asked: "Do you know Selena from Tingen?"

"That's a little girl with great inspiration." Harold, or the Demonic Wolf of the Mist, said: "I told her to run into the woods, but she didn't completely believe me and chose to go Escape in the other direction.

"She has been wandering around the mountain, but she has not escaped my control until now, and she has been undergoing my pollution."

Hobert didn't expect that this little girl was quite clever: "Why don't you turn everyone here into marionettes? Instead of simply deceiving them?"

"If you become my marionette, you will have a close connection with me, and those pollutions may return." Harold said: "So I will simply connect your spiritual threads and pass on the pollution. For you guys."

Hobert asked again: "Has this method been successful?"

"Very successful." Harold smiled: "The pollution on my body has basically been passed on!"

"How did you become contaminated?"

"have no idea."

Hobert was stunned: "Don't know? You don't know even with your level and ability?"

"I have received some revelations, but I can't interpret them." Harold shook his head: "But I am certain that this is a very high-level pollution."

Harold thought for a while and then said: "Before I was contaminated, I got a small bottle of white mist, which is said to contain the ultimate secret of the Trunsoest Empire.

"But the next day, the mist in the bottle disappeared, and I was contaminated. Thinking about it, I should have been contaminated because of this."

Hobert showed a very interested expression: "The ultimate secret of the Trunsoest Empire?"

Harold smiled: "Although your chance of survival is very slim, I still can't tell you the details."

"How are you going to kill us?"

"I don't have to do anything. This pollution will soon make you lose control." Harold said: "The people you sent out to ask for help have no way of leaving the barrier I set up.

"You must say that a colleague of yours named Harold escaped from here."

Everyone felt a little awkward when they saw "Harold" talking about Harold.

"Harold" said with a ferocious smile: "I let him go on purpose.

"If none of them escape, the Church of the Goddess of the Night will definitely organize a stronger team to deal with me, and it is very likely that they will send demigods.

"And if someone escapes, they will just send a more elite 'Red Glove' team.

"This way I can buy some time. When the people from the Church of the Night Goddess notice something is wrong and send the second batch of reinforcements, it will be at least two days later."

In the past two days, Hobert and others had already turned into monsters due to pollution.

This made Hobert sigh: It is indeed the "Old Yin Bi" way! This is just a monster in this path, and the conspiracy and tricks are so smooth.

Then Hobert tried: "I have the ability to 'travel', you can't trap me!"

Harold smiled: "Didn't you notice? Since you approached the villa, you only used 'travel' twice to appear on the mountain opposite the villa, and did not leave five kilometers away!

"You have been contaminated, which is equivalent to planting a psychological hint, and you can't run away!"

Hobert asked again: "What about the village on the other side of the mountain you mentioned?"

He moved his wrist while asking questions, as if he had been injured when fighting the giant gray moth just now.

"That's right, you actually noticed what happened in that village!" Harold said with a smile: "If you were in normal condition, I would have turned you into my marionette!"

Hobert understood: "That's your 'Secret Puppet Village'!"

"Not now. During this pollution, they began to worship a god from the depths of the universe." Harold said: "I have severed contact with all marionettes. They have turned into living corpses with certain intelligence. However, Their remaining intelligence is limited to belief in that evil god.

"It is their nature to prey on living people. After losing my restraint, they will look for food on their own."

For those living corpses, Bocklon Villa is the largest "food garden" around.

Hobert nodded: "In other words, you won't turn me into a marionette, right?"

Harold raised his head: "It should be said that you are no longer qualified to be my marionette."

"Then I'll be relieved." Hobert smiled and said, "I'll show you something good."

He suddenly lifted the oil painting!

Just now, when Hobert was moving his wrist, his other hand was untying the rope on the painting.

Daly and Leonard, who were closer, also noticed this, so when Hobert lifted the oil painting, Daly already had a necklace with a huge black pearl in his hand.

The surroundings darkened instantly, as if the night had suddenly arrived, and the Demonic Wolf of Mist fell into a trance, half asleep and half awake.

The Demonic Wolf of Mist originally had time to change positions with the marionette, and it could change positions even under the attack of a level 1 sealed object. That's why it stood there and talked so confidently as if it was showing off its masterpiece. talk.

But what it didn't expect was that just when it was about to change places with the marionette, its head suddenly became empty, and the idea of ​​changing places with the marionette seemed to have been stolen.

If it had been in the past, it would not have used its true form to meet Hobert and others, but today he had just severed contact with the previous marionettes and was at a stage where there were no normal marionettes that he could turn into human form.

When the Demonic Wolf of Mist came back to its senses, it had been affected by "1-068", and its heart became very peaceful, and it would fall into a deep sleep almost immediately.

The Demonic Wolf of Mist is also very strange. Among these three people, there is obviously no Beyonder of the "Stealer" path, and there is no sealed object of that path. How could the thought he had just disappeared?

However, Hobert already understood that this was the action of the old man in Leonard's body, because he did not bring the "1-101" sealed artifact of the semi-god-level "Stealer" path.

While half asleep and half awake, the Demonic Wolf of Mist saw a wonderful landscape painting, which made him exclaim: "What a wonderful scenery!"

The monster with eyes on its chest appeared, and Hobert noticed that its skin turned black, and the curse it issued was significantly strengthened.

It seems that Fabuti only appeared once in this dream and brought certain strengthening to the oil painting.

The Demonic Wolf of Mist finally regained consciousness. He worked hard to use his abilities, and his position finally changed with that of an Ash Moth Marionette several hundred meters away.

In the end, the monster's curse fell on a gray moth, and the Demonic Wolf of Mist that was originally on the tree branch disappeared without a trace.

Hobert quickly stepped forward and killed the monster with one knife, and the monster's shadow turned into nothingness.

As he picked up the oil painting, he said: "The guys in the 'Soothsayer' path are so difficult to kill." He also wrapped the two wings into the oil painting.

Hobert didn't expect to be able to kill the Demonic Wolf of Mist with one blow. Being able to successfully mark the Demonic Wolf of Mist's spirituality was considered a blessing. He would go to settle the score with this Demonic Wolf when he had the opportunity.

Dai Li also knew that now was not the time to hunt down the Demonic Wolf of Mist: "We must make some preparations before the Demonic Wolf of Mist's marionette arrives at the villa."

Hobert nodded: "You go back first, I will look for Selina."

Without waiting for Dai Li and others to answer, Hobert had already used his "low flying" ability to fly out of the tree canopy and search for Selina on the mountain.

Ten minutes later, Hobert finally found Selina, who was exhausted and sitting on a rock to rest.

Seeing Hobert falling from the sky, who had returned to his own appearance, Selina said happily: "Teacher! I knew you would definitely come to save me!"

Hobert smiled. The main purpose of coming to Loen this time was finally achieved.

Just as he was about to take Selina away with "Travel", Hobert suddenly saw an abstract symbol drawn in the snow. The symbol was composed of zigzag vertical and horizontal lines, and several dots.

Hobert's eyes narrowed. He was familiar with this symbol, but he couldn't recall the relevant information.

Selina noticed that Hobert's eyes were different from before. She explained: "That was a symbol I saw in my dream. I don't know why it was so impressive that I couldn't help but reach out and draw it several times."

"Wait here!" Hobert used two "flashes" to hide behind a big tree. Immediately after entering the "State of Disorder", Hobert instantly "recalled" the relevant memories: " Uncertain fog!”

Hobert finally understood. It turned out that the "uncertain fog" had polluted the Demonic Wolf of Fog, and the source of the pollution was the bottle of white fog.

No wonder even the level of the Demonic Wolf of Mist was not able to divine the source of the pollution. He only knew that the level of the pollution was very high.

Hobert finally understood why the white mist that polluted his spiritual body was directly integrated into the "Country of Disorder", because the "Uncertain Mist" controlled that part of the starry sky, the "Country of Disorder", and Hobert The "Country of Disorder" we control has the same origin, so those pollutions are just some nutrients for the "Country of Disorder".
