Red Moon Returns
Chapter 12: The Mark of Sacrifice (Please continue reading)
The saber swept down the middle of the body of the leader of the Terror Claws.
After firing, Officer Natalie took a few steps back, took off her hat and pressed it on her chest, and bowed slightly.
Before she could straighten up, the leader of the Terror Claws had already staggered forward with the head of his kind in his hand, and then, under the gaze of all his kind, he was neatly split into two halves from the middle, and fell to both sides until he fell to the ground, his cold vertical pupils still turning a few circles.
Puff, blood mixed with internal organs spurted out from the broken end, making the area around the corpse as strange and spectacular as a blood fountain,
The whole square fell into a dead silence in an instant.
Except for a few Terror Claws that were on fire and had fled the square, all the Terror Claws stared blankly at the leader who died tragically beside the statue.
"Roar."
A shrill roar came from the group of Terror Claws on the periphery, and the roar was obviously angry.
As if awakened by the roar, hundreds of claws roared angrily, one after another, and the atmosphere in the square exploded completely.
All the claws, with red eyes, quickly surrounded the statue and Officer Natalie next to it.
Sure enough, they would not disperse.
The policewoman frowned, bent down and held the hilt of the sword again, and the shadow of the mallet appeared behind her.
The short distance was fleeting. Seeing that the large group of claws had approached, Officer Natalie's eyes turned cold and she was about to draw her sword.
At this moment, a ball of fire came from far away, dragging rolling heat waves all the way, rushing to Officer Natalie and turning into a burning human-shaped flame. As soon as it took shape, it immediately wrapped the fastest one, and in an instant, ignited its fur into a big fireball.
Lynch is here.
Time, time, time.
Lynch moved very quickly. After lighting the third victim, he immediately moved, directly and continuously penetrating all the claws on the path, and ignited all their fur.
Unlike before, the claws in front of him gathered together densely, which was the best time to set fire. The thick animal hair became the best combustion aid.
Lin Qi adhered to the attitude of "getting away as soon as he touched it", not seeking how big the effect was, but only trying to expand the fire as much as possible and create panic as much as possible. He was on the left and on the right, and the square was soon full of flames and the smell of burning was pungent.
The large group of claws were frightened by the flames and fell into a dilemma, especially those on fire ran around, making the fire spread faster.
Even the police officer was a little stunned by this scene. Looking at Lin Qi who turned into a flame was like seeing a human-shaped disaster.
As for Lin Qi, he seemed to be in great glory, but in fact he was suffering from the pain of the flame burning his soul every second. He felt that his spirit was about to collapse, and he could only encourage himself desperately. If he held on a little longer, they would not be able to hold on soon.
He knew that the Terrorclaws were obviously afraid of fire. They had the prestige of the leader just now, but now they did not flee in all directions only because of their anger. As long as they used fire to suppress their last anger, the conditions for suppression would be met.
Then it depends on who can last longer.
Even though he was already in pain and his consciousness was blurred, he still clenched his fist made of fire and ran on the square by instinct. Once his flaming body turned, he was about to circle around the statue in the group of Terrorclaws. However, before he started, the voice in his mind suddenly sounded.
[Ten seconds left for safe use, and serious consequences will be induced after ten seconds.]
Lin Qi's heart sank, but he did not stop. He still circled around the statue like a whirlwind, igniting the hair of seven or eight Terrorclaws along the way, making the surrounding fire more intense.
Is my soul going to burn out, or is the strange object going to lose control?
[No, the consequences are unpredictable. Five seconds left. 】
Damn it, they are about to collapse. We can't stop now, otherwise we will fail. Travel companion, time me, I'm going to go all out.
Thinking in his heart, Lynch turned his head and turned into a moving line of fire, running all the way to the position with the least fire and the most claws. The fire became more and more intense along the way, and the flames burned with a whirring sound.
The claws gathered together, leaving no room for escape. Lynch rushed over and burned a large area. In an instant, the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning. A large group of claws were burned and screamed, and their previous terrifying and ferocious appearance could no longer be seen.
[Three. ]
There were already more claws on fire screaming and fleeing the square from the periphery, rushing into the depths of the abandoned city, but most of the claws on the square were still around the statue, holding on and refusing to leave.
Officer Natalie was right next to the statue. Seeing the claws in a dilemma, she suddenly snorted coldly, took a few steps forward, and drew her sword again. A claw that got a little closer was cut in half by the sword before it could even react. The claw that was broken into two pieces was not dead immediately, and half of its body was propped up on the ground and screamed in agony.
Huh, Lynch overlapped with the wailing half of the monster at the right time, letting the flames burn its body. The half of its body struggled desperately, but could not escape the flames. The screams were desperate and miserable, and spread throughout the square.
The screams of the same kind seemed to have shaken the group of claws, and they no longer gathered forward, but they still surrounded the statue from a distance, roaring with fierce eyes, and refused to leave.
[Two. ]
There is no time.
It's now.
Lynch made up his mind and completely threw away all his worries. According to the method he learned from the ring, he really regarded himself as a big fireball, clenched his flaming fist, concentrated all his will, turned his body into flames, and crashed into the ground.
Hold on, don't faint.
I'm coming!
The flames hit the ground, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then the human-shaped flame suddenly exploded, turning into a huge wave of fire, shooting forward at high speed in a half-moon shape, causing the front to instantly fall into a sea of hellish fire.
【one. 】
The exploding flames became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Dreadclaws in the square woke up from a dream, roared wildly, and fled around frantically. They didn't care about anything. They even pushed down those of the same kind blocking the way. , stepping on the bodies of the same kind and running outward.
In an instant, amid the blazing flames, the entire square was filled with chaos, and countless flaming monsters ran away in all directions, as if the end was approaching.
Lynch didn't pay attention to this. The moment the flames exploded, he quickly pulled off the ring and returned to his human body in his final state. There was still smoke all over his body, but he didn't look at anything and stumbled towards the statue in the center of the square.
As the Terrorclaws fled, the statue in the center was shrinking at a strange and rapid speed. When Lynch staggered to the statue, the statue shrank to the size of a palm.
Lin Qi struggled to bend down to pick up the statue. His expression alternated between happiness and anger, and finally settled into an open smile as he raised the statue high above his head.
In the end I won.
In the new world, I, Lynch, survive.
As his smile bloomed, his body lost all strength and fell involuntarily toward the hot ground.
He fell directly into a warm embrace.
When he looked up, he saw the beautiful face of Officer Natalie Angell, smiling at him with a complicated expression.
"Well done, Lynch, you really taught me a lesson."
"Bet..." Lynch said in a weak voice, leaning comfortably in the arms of the police officer.
"How about I let go?" Officer Natalie asked through gritted teeth.
"Haha, I..."
As soon as Lin Qi's smile appeared, his body went limp and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
"boom".
A crashing sound woke Lin Qi from his dream.
I just feel sore and weak all over, as if all my strength has been exhausted.
He struggled to sit up and found himself lying on the sofa in Randall's living room.
Officer Natalie was sitting opposite him and had already put the painting and the statue into a suitcase. The sound just now was that of putting the painting in.
Several men in blue uniforms were checking around, but they deliberately avoided the piles of gravel and human heads on the ground.
Looking around, Lin Qi felt that a few dozen minutes had passed, but he felt like he was in another world. He touched the sofa and coffee table, and everything seemed so real. Only then did he confirm that he was really back.
Randall's head was still lying on the ground. Lin Qi felt a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart and really wanted to go over and kick him again.
Damn it guys, look who dies in the end.
You miscalculated, Randall, why don't you ask how long it is?
No, time.
Lynch remembered that he had just fainted and quickly looked to his left hand. Then he felt his whole body go weak and almost collapsed on the sofa.
I was sitting here just a few minutes ago, and all I saw were withered arms, racing against death and chasing a slim glimmer of hope.
Now sitting in the same position, seeing his left hand that had returned to normal, Lin Qi opened his sleeve in disbelief and touched his smooth arm.
I felt a surge of heat in my chest, and I had the urge to cry.
I survived, struggled all night, and finally survived.
Covering his mouth hard, Lynch blinked desperately, trying to suppress the heat in his eyes. When he looked up with red eyes, he saw that Officer Natalie had stopped what she was doing and looked at him with sympathetic eyes.
"I suggest you don't get happy too soon."
"I know, you said that if I want to survive, I must become a soul changer, which means that the matter is not over yet."
Officer Natalie's presence made Lynch calm down, and his brain quickly regained its flexibility. He covered his gaffe by rubbing his face:
"Am I still in danger? I think it's very possible. After all, the master behind Randall hasn't been found yet."
"The reason behind it is indeed a problem, but that is a problem in the future. Now I would like to congratulate you, Mr. Lynch Leviev. With your own efforts, you not only regained your life, but also fought for yourself enough "I have never thought that an ordinary person's struggle could reach this level, it's unbelievable." Officer Natalie's serious face showed surprise and approval.
"what happened?"
"You should have known before that Randall's whole family should be the cultists of the Ancient Flicker. For unknown reasons, they were instructed by someone to sacrifice you to the evil god through that statue. That's why what happened to you tonight ”
Lynch nodded silently.
"I took over the sword left by my father and became a mystery hunter for two years. I have seen many mysterious events. Usually in mysterious events related to evil gods, the death of the person involved is normal, just like the drunken Peter and Gran. Same as Will."
"So you already thought of me as a dead person from the beginning?"
"I'm sorry, I underestimated your ability. I apologize." The police officer lowered her head solemnly, "But after knowing that this may be related to the sacrifice, I am even more convinced that your death is inevitable, because even if you find the statue , it’s useless to interrupt Randall and the others. What we interrupted was just the guidance from the outside. The real sacrifice is inside the strange object. You have become a sacrifice, so you will die when the time is up. It’s an unsolvable situation.”
Even though the problem has been solved, Lynch still feels heavy in his heart. This world is too dangerous without power, and you may die strangely at any time.
"But interrupting Randall's guidance just caused the strange object to go out of control, giving us the opportunity to enter the memory of the strange object, directly destroying the sacrificial ceremony in the strange object, and letting you, the last sacrifice, survive." Officer Natalie stared at Lynch, her tone was rare and gentle, "So I said that your struggle allowed you to escape from a deadly situation, and you did a great job."
"But the problem has not been completely solved, right."
"Don't be too greedy, Mr. Lynch, in the confrontation with the mystery, any success is worth rejoicing and celebrating, not to mention that you have bought yourself an extra month to solve the problem." Officer Natalie sighed and shook her head, "But it is indeed not completely solved now, look at the position of your heart."
Lynch was a little nervous, but still opened his shirt, then looked away and sighed deeply.
A red eye pattern appeared at the position of the heart, like it was painted on, but it could not be wiped off. It flickered with the rise and fall of breathing, as if it was blinking strangely.
"You are the chosen sacrifice, but you have not yet been sent to the altar. The evil god Ancient Flasher is watching your soul and will take it away in a month."
