Start a Core Pod

  Chapter 539 Skyfall

The whistling air flow flew past her ears, Mary opened her eyes in surprise, and looked around, and then she was suddenly taken aback—I saw that they were flying high into the sky at some point, and they seemed to be about to stop soon !

   "First? Sir!"

   "Don't worry, it's coming!"

   At this moment, Mary saw a black spot in the distance suddenly rushing towards them from the air——it was the plane that the maid was driving!

   "Hoo———!!"

The plane almost brushed past Duanmuhuai's body, and Duanmuhuai also grabbed the fuselage. This move was impossible for ordinary people, but Mary who was in Duanmuhuai's arms only felt a huge wave. The impact force, and then her eyes blurred, and the next moment Mary was placed firmly in the plane by Duan Muhuai.

   "This, what the hell..."

  Mary couldn't care about what happened now. She shook her head and stood up. At this moment, Xia Li was still unconscious beside her. And for some unknown reason, the black dress she was wearing was completely melted at this moment. Obviously, if she continued in this kind of place, she would freeze to death.

   Fortunately, Lorena also ran over at this moment, and the two of them worked together to put the unconscious Xia Li into the thermal bag next to her, which was a relief. At this moment, Mary took the time to look out the window, and then took a deep breath.

  Mary still remembered the huge stone city they had seen when they had just turned over the mountains. However, right now, the city seems to be trembling rapidly as if it had been shaken by an earthquake. Not only that, but she can also see that in the city, something like thick black water is spreading around, as if it is going to kill the whole city. swallow it.

   "Then, what is... what?"

   "Didn't you say that? Shoggoth."

   Duanmu Huai stood at the door of the cabin, looking down at the viscous ancient city that looked like it had been stabbed in a cesspit. From a distance, the pile of gray, wriggling, sticky, coming in and out of the ruins of the city... Uh, forget it, the more I talk about it, the more disgusting I feel.

  I feel like I exploded a cesspit now, obviously, Shoggoth has also gone crazy.

  But Duanmuhuai doesn't care, no matter how powerful the Shoggoth is, it can't fly.

   It's just that its cry is scary enough.

   "Tek... Lily!"

  The sharp sound comparable to fingernails scratching a blackboard echoed throughout the ruins of the city, and just listening to it made people feel numb all over.

   "Now, what should we do now? Mr. Duanmu?"

  Mary clutched Duanmuhuai tightly, looking palely at the wriggling giant Shoggoth below. You have to know how big the whole city is, and these shoggoths actually fill up the whole city right now, even in the air, looking down from afar, the shock and uneasiness are also terrifying.

   "Just go and take care of Xia Li, and leave this to me."

   Of course, Duanmuhuai can't really make the crazy Shoggoths run around, although strictly speaking, in the current Antarctic climate, they can't go anywhere. But the ghost knows if these things will cause some kind of moth, so I don't do anything, just kill them... all of them!

  Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai's eyes staring down flashed a fierce light.

  As he said to Dr. Palmer, since they are not stones, let them be stones!

   What a big deal!

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai poked his head out, and then he clenched the cane in his hand, and black flames emerged from it. Afterwards, Duanmuhuai stared at the wriggling Shoggoth Sea below, grabbed the cane, and pressed hard against the bottom. Swipe!

   "—————!!"

  The stick burning with black flames just fell from the sky, and fell directly into the surging Shoggoth tide below.

   Immediately after…………

   "Boom -----!!!"

  The earth shakes and the mountains sing.

Looking from a high altitude, you can see that the huge city on the entire surface seems to be blown away at this moment. The huge building and the solid ground explode from the inside to the outside, and the ground trembles. At this moment, the entire ground is like The children's sand table is ordinary, completely subverted. Even the huge mountain next to it, comparable to Mount Everest, was cracked and deformed by the violent explosion. Afterwards, most of the top of the mountain suddenly lost its balance and rolled and smashed down towards the city below. !

  For a moment, the dust rose all over the sky, covering the sky, and Duanmuhuai had already let the maid fly the plane, far away from this land of right and wrong.

After this explosion, Duanmuhuai can be sure that the entire city will be completely submerged, and it will become the fuel of the black flame just like Shoggoth. After the black flame devours Shoggoth, there will really be only stone.

   At that time, there is really no problem.

Earthquakes rarely occur in Antarctica, but it is impossible to escape the scientific research station for such a level of cataclysm. Soon, Duanmuhuai and the others received a communication from Professor Palma to inquire about the situation. After all, they also felt the earthquake. And the direction was from the direction Duanmuhuai and the others had gone before, so Professor Palmer was also worried that something happened to Duanmuhuai and the others. But fortunately, when I got in touch now, Professor Palmer was relieved to know that there was nothing wrong with the other party.

   It’s just that Duanmu Huai will not go back to the scientific research station again. After all, when they come back this time, there is another person beside them for no reason.

  You somehow got an extra person from Antarctica, how do you explain it?

  So I just...don't explain.

  Lao Tzu is the patron, what do I want to do, why do I have to explain to anyone?

  So Duanmuhuai contacted Professor Palmer directly, saying that they had something to go back and we will talk later.

  “………”

  Go back first?

   I have to say, upon hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Professor Palmer was also stunned. This is Antarctica. You consider it your home. Come and leave as soon as you say it?

Although they really wanted to complain, they couldn't stop Duanmuhuai from leaving, and the sudden geological changes on the Antarctic side also gave them a lot to study, so Professor Palmer didn't say much. .

   After all, he is the patron and the biggest.

   Just like that, the matter finally came to an end.

  After this, Duanmuhuai also led the others back to Wudu. Only then did they realize that shortly after they left Wudu for Antarctica, Xia Li, who had been sleeping, suddenly disappeared. At that time, it became a big unsolved case. Of course, now that Xia Li has been found, the rest of the matter, of course, is... made up by Duanmuhuai.

   "That's the way it is, it's all settled."

  Duanmuhuai calmly handed over the materials in his hand to Sheriff Lestrade on the opposite side, and the latter took the materials with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say.

   “Frankly, what’s written here looks more like a fairy tale to me.”

   "It doesn't matter if you just read it as a fairy tale, right? At least, the problems have been solved."

   Duan Muhuai spread his hands, staring at Sergeant Lestrade.

   "Forget it, since you said so, then take it as such."

   Sheriff Lestrade shook his head and didn't say much. After all, Antarctica is not within their jurisdiction. The previous earthquake in Antarctica really shocked the world. Many organizations claimed that someone had dropped bombs in Antarctica. Of course, no evidence was found afterwards, but Sergeant Lestrade knew very well that this was not the case. Things that I can handle and worry about.

  The case of Xia Li’s disappearance was finally regarded as being taken away by a cultist who was obsessed with ghosts, and then rescued. In order to avoid similar disappearances again, the Bronte family decided to let Charlie go back to her hometown to recuperate, which also made Mary breathe a sigh of relief. For some unknown reason, when Xia Li woke up, she had completely forgotten everything that had happened before, whether it was the Capek Seminar, Spiritual Seance, or the Gate of Tartar. She doesn't seem to remember any of these things at all. In Mary's view, this is undoubtedly a good thing for Xia Li.

   However, Mary also encountered a very difficult decision.

   After returning to Wudu, Duanmu Huai invited her.

   To put it simply, Duanmu Huai hopes to use Mary's golden pupil and her power to work for the Tribunal.

   This really surprised Mary. Although she learned a lot about the Tribunal from Lorena, Mary never thought that she would join the Tribunal. From her point of view, she was more like a help-seeker, and the Inquisition was like a police organization. I asked the trial court for help, but I never thought about joining the trial court. After all, what she originally expected was a more peaceful and stable life.

But Mary is also very clear that this is not an easy matter, especially her golden pupil - although the enemy who peeped into her eyes has disappeared for now, will there be other ones aiming at this eye in the future? What about the enemy?

  Mary didn't know, but she also understood that this was a very difficult decision.

"Aha…………"

   Walking out of the gate of Master Academy, looking at the sky as usual, Mary, holding an umbrella, sighed softly. Although she had indeed thought about her future after graduation, going to work in the Tribunal... seemed a little different from what she had thought before. Moreover, if it is to go to the trial court, then the work experienced will definitely not be easy. Xiali and Axie might be worried, but the same goes for digging at the site of the ruins, or are they going to do picture book work? I thought so too, but...

   "Mary?"

There was a bird-like sound in her ears, and Mary turned her head to look at the petite and lovely girl beside her——Ashelika, who is also one of her best friends with Xia Li, who is poking her head out anxiously at the moment , looking at myself.

   "Are you all right, Mary? You seem disturbed?"

   "Well, I'm thinking about some things, about the way out for the future."

   "Huh? Has Mary already thought about her way out after graduation?"

"not sure yet."

   Facing her friend's question, Mary smiled and shook her head.

"That's it, but don't do too dangerous work. Both Axie and Xia Li will be worried, and Xia Li finally woke up. By the way, for the next vacation, do you want to go to the resting place in Xia Li's hometown together? To visit her? I want to take Howard too."

   "Are you finally going to let Mr. Howard meet Charlie?"

  Hearing this, Mary couldn't help joking, while Aselika blushed.

   "Yes, what does it matter. Isn't it because Charlie is a little scary sometimes and doesn't want her to play tricks on Howard. Will you come too, Mary?"

"certainly."

  Mary nodded, then seemed to think of something.

  Maybe, I should also invite...Mr. Duanmu?
