The Master of the Strange Realm

PS: Ah, I set the wrong time. Sorry! I will add an update at 3 o'clock.

Chapter 761 Chapter 746 Containment out of control

There are still some items left in Jenkins' room that he did not take away during the time he lived here during the Evil God Son incident. He opened the drawer and saw some colorful candies. Then he remembered that these were the lucky candies that had not been distributed. He smiled and peeled one and put it in his mouth.

Chocolate was still on the bed, looking around as if inspecting the territory. When he saw Jenkins's movements, he immediately jumped over impatiently.

"Meow~"

It thought that all the candies were sent out by Jenkins.

It was almost midnight when I fell asleep. It felt like I hadn't slept for long when I heard a noisy sound in my ears. It seemed that there was an army advancing outside the door. He had not rested well these days, and subconsciously thought that the church was absolutely safe, so he didn't care about what happened outside and continued to sleep.

After a while, Jenkins felt something crawling into the quilt again. After realizing it belatedly, he realized that it was Chocolate. It was probably dissatisfied with the noise outside.

"What happened?"

Sometimes it is difficult to fall asleep after being awakened from sleep, and Jenkins is in this state now. He closed his eyes and was a little impatient, so he dragged himself out of bed, and then pushed open the door in his pajamas and slippers.

When he opened the door, he ran into an acquaintance, a scribe who Jenkins could not remember the name of but had treated. Seeing Jenkins coming out of the room, he looked surprised, and then, regardless of his current clothes, he dragged him towards the main hall of the church without saying anything.

The cat hid its body in the quilt, leaving only its nose exposed to breathe. It waited for a long time but did not wait for the real owner of this bed to come back, so it lazily climbed out, but only saw an empty corridor.

"Meow~"

It called gently, jumped off the bed, and then disappeared into the corridor smelling Jenkins's scent.

A few seconds later, the cat ran back again, and the tentacles stretched out from the shadows pulled open the drawer, and then swallowed all the candies.

This time, I really followed Jenkins' scent.

I was dragged to the main hall of the church, which was brightly lit at this time, as if the people in the church were going to hold a large-scale church mass. The huge holy emblem hanging high was radiating visible light at this time, and the faint golden light filled every corner of the main hall. After Jenkins stepped in, he even felt a certain area of ​​his forehead heating up, and the spirit in his body showed a more stable and majestic trend.

"Oh, sage, you are really protecting us!"

I don't know who saw Jenkins first, and then groaned, and the scribes who gathered in the main hall to pray, rest, recuperate and discuss immediately made way for Jenkins to walk under the holy emblem.

A white skeleton was lying there, it was as white as milk, which was very abnormal. Black particles kept oozing out of the bones, and the golden light spots descending from above were also constantly expelling these particles.

It was hard to tell which side had the upper hand. The golden and black lights interlaced on the bones, then collided and disappeared.

The skeleton belonged to a man, but Jenkins could not tell its age or cause of death. At this moment, Miss Bevanna was presiding over the ceremony. The woman knelt on one knee in front of the holy emblem and led a group of scribes to pray. This was a bit like the night when the water-absorbing bones were sealed, but Jenkins was still unclear about what happened tonight.

"Oh, Jenkins, this is really a blessing from the sage!"

Miss Bevanna beckoned Jenkins to walk over, and then knelt on one knee in front of the holy emblem with him. At this time, except for Jenkins, everyone was dressed solemnly, and Jenkins was still in pajamas and cat slippers.

Jenkins estimated that no one would ever pray like him before, and he didn't know if it was blasphemy. But since Miss Bevanna thought it was okay, then it should be okay.

You can't talk casually during prayer, so Jenkins couldn't ask about the current situation. He saw Chocolate appear at the edge of the main hall from the corner of his eye. He first raised his head curiously to look at the beautiful golden spots, and then ran towards Jenkins without any worries.

Before he touched him, he suddenly turned and jumped onto the bench behind him, and then waited there obediently.

Seeing that the cat was so obedient, Jenkins didn't care about its movements, and closed his eyes and joined the prayer.

There was darkness in front of him at first, and as his voice merged into the low and sacred chanting, golden light appeared in his vision. His body seemed to be soaked in warm water, and the fatigue caused by lack of sleep was swept away.

He quietly opened one eye and saw the golden light stream like a waterfall appearing from top to bottom and washing the skeleton. At this time, all the black spots on the bones disappeared, at least Jenkins didn't observe it.

He now understood that they should have successfully suppressed some kind of abnormality.

It was half an hour later that everything ended. When Jenkins stood up, he felt his legs were a little numb, but fortunately Miss Bevanna supported him and didn't fall to the ground.

The bones placed in front of him have now returned to their normal state, but if you look closely, you can find some faint divine runes surging on them, which are the seals against them.

"Miss Befanna, what's going on?"

Jenkins finally had the chance to say these words. He watched the secret keeper Smith come out of nowhere and put the bones in a black box. Nodding to Jenkins, he was escorted by a group of people behind him and walked towards the passage behind the main hall.

The scribes in the church seemed to be relieved. They gathered together in twos and threes to say hello, and then left through different passages. Someone came up to Miss Jenkins and Bevanna and asked if they had any questions. After receiving the answer that everything was fine, they really felt relieved.

"The containment is out of control. The one just now is A-06-1-4408, [Curse of the Remains of the Shipwrecked] who was originally contained behind the Gate of All Things. This is a very dangerous monster. Only ships sailing in the open sea can It may be encountered on an uninhabited desert island, and once the crew touches it, whether they bury it or bring it to the ship, it almost means that the entire ship will experience extremely terrible things and become miserable. Die.

Storms, shipwrecks, ghosts, betrayals, hallucinations, curses... These are actually a collection of resentments, containing extremely terrifying hatred for the living. Because of the special location of Nolan Parish, every church in the city has something like this. "

Chapter 762 Chapter 747 The Escaped Skeletons

"So tonight it suddenly became restless?"

Jenkins asked, holding the cat.

At this time, most of the scribes who had gathered under the Holy Emblem had left, and no one around could hear their conversation. In fact, Jenkins thinks most people, like him, don't understand what's going on, and the church won't explain it.

"About twelve o'clock, the secret keeper noticed an unusual noise behind the Gate of All Things. After checking, he found that it suddenly became biologically active. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and you did not leave the church tonight, otherwise We really don’t know how to suppress it. The sudden burst of resentment, resentment and undead characteristics is really terrible.”

The Church of the Sage has not yet figured out the cause of the A-06-1-4408 riot, and the next day Jenkins received even worse news from his father. Not all churches are like the Church of the Sage. The presence of the Holy Son can assist in sealing. The A-06-1-4408 individual who was restless last night was not just the one in the Church of the Sage.

A total of seven bodies of A-06-1-4408 were taken into custody by Nolan Diocese, of which the two belonging to the [Ocean and Exploration] Church were forcibly destroyed using violent means.

But the consequence of doing so is that the curse is leaked and the resentment is further strengthened. The [Ocean and Exploration] church will not be open to believers throughout Wednesday. The external excuse was church renovations, but in reality they were dealing with a troublesome curse attached to a small area.

[Dark Night and Secret] The skeleton of the church was lucky and was successfully sealed. The believers of the Sunless Moon can get extra luck in the dark night, which may be one of the reasons for their success.

The [Starry Sky and Equilibrium] Church was not so lucky. Due to lack of preparation, the restless A-06-1-4408 almost escaped from the dungeon under the astrology tower. After paying the price of two lives, those astrologers sealed it again.

The Church of Death and the End, which also houses two skeletons, has considerable experience in dealing with undead creatures. But it was too late when they discovered that there was something wrong with A-06-1-4408. The two skeletons, which showed a considerable degree of intelligence, worked together and caused considerable trouble to the tomb guards.

In the end, one was successfully contained, while the other escaped.

"Wait a minute, dad, what did you say? Now there is an A-06-1-4408 that has escaped from the church's custody?"

"Yes, and the tomb guards have completely lost track of it. You should understand that no one dares to divine the strange thing, and ordinary search methods are of little use."

Dad said helplessly and continued to wipe the vase in his hand.

"So, you must be careful when you go out now. We don't know whether A-06-1-4408, which suddenly has the characteristics of a living body, will have special abilities. In previous tests, it only spread terror passively. It’s just a curse.”

"Will the Church of Death and Endgame continue to pursue it?"

Jenkins asked worriedly.

"Of course, they won't give up. Those gravekeepers are almost exhausted now. Do you still remember the resurgence of the undead in the city cemetery, resulting in the death of innocent people? There are no clues about this matter now. Those resurrected undead It's like disappearing out of thin air, and there is no trace at all. If you ask me, there must be a very powerful gifter who is proficient in necromancy. Otherwise, these things cannot be explained. "

Jenkins didn't know whether his father's guess was correct, but he at least understood that the man who played with corpses wantonly and let all the Galt family die was definitely not a decent person.

He was still angry about the scene he saw in the cemetery, and swore in his heart that the perpetrators must be punished as they deserved.

Jenkins spent the morning of this day peacefully chatting with his father. Seeing that the sky was getting a little gloomy at noon, I moved all the cardboard boxes in the yard to the warehouse behind for storage.

I went to collect the accounts as usual in the afternoon. The new year is coming to the second month, but last year's accounts have not been completely processed.

The collection location this time was Gusmaier Shopping Street on the banks of the Rhone River. The owner of No. 19 Shopping Street bought an expensive oil painting at an antique store last fall. He didn't have enough cash on hand, so he signed a contract to repay one-fifth of the money every month, but he had to pay a certain amount of interest until it was paid off in January this year.

But the unlucky boss was involved in the vampire incident last year and unfortunately died. His family probably didn't know that there was such an account, and the balance of the last month was not paid. That's why Jenkins came here for a walk. trip.

Because his father gave him plenty of time, he did not choose to take the carriage but walk. Halfway through, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, but the snow was very small and did not hinder progress.

It is now the end of winter. After surviving the coldest days in December and January, it is not difficult to survive this winter. You can see some people begging along the street, but most of them dare not step into the street at the alley.

For the sake of good city appearance, Nolan City Hall does not allow beggars or vagrants to appear on the main road during the day. But this did not have much effect, because the alleys extending in all directions in the city were already enough to accommodate these poor homeless people.

He put his hands in his pockets and walked along the street wall. I saw an unkempt woman with a stooped waist and a small bowl at the entrance of the alley, so I reached into my pocket to look for change.

Jenkins soon touched a few copper coins, which seemed to be leftover from the last time he bought food for Chocolate. He stretched out his hand to put it in the woman's bowl, but unexpectedly the woman grabbed his wrist.

"Young man! I saw it, yes I saw it, you are extremely extraordinary!"

She was talking crazily, trying to pull Jenkins into the alley behind her. But Jenkins instead pulled hard and successfully stopped his body from leaning forward.

"Sorry, if you don't let go of my hand, I think I'm going to do something bad."

It wasn't that he was tired of the woman's hands soiling his clothes, but he was just not used to such contact with strangers.

"Young man, you are destined to do great things. Yes, let me take a look. Give me your hand and let me take a look!"

She wanted to look at Jenkins' palm again, but the man broke away. Jenkins' eyes seemed to be emitting a sharp light, which was actually a sign of the [Eye of Truth] working at full strength.

Chapter 763 Chapter 748 Collection

Jenkins at the entrance of the alley and the woman in the alley were only one step apart. With such a close distance, Jenkins' eyes could not go wrong:

"The seventh-level gifter is one step short of being a demigod..."

Subconsciously, I wanted to touch the gun, but then I remembered where it was, so I plucked up the courage to say:

"Sorry, ma'am, please accept this measly help."

Among them, we are ready to fight to the death.

As he spoke, he dropped the coins in his hand into her bowl, then immediately turned around and left. The disheveled crazy woman did not stop him, but stood at the entrance of the alley with a strange smile. The passing newsboy was startled, turned around and trotted away in the direction he came from.

"what do you want to do?"

A cold voice came from behind, and at the same time, a hint of anger could be heard. The mad woman turned back and disappeared into the shadow of the alley, and saw Miss Audrey standing by the wall looking at her.

"Oh, little Audrey~ So you are here!"

She bent down and set the bowl aside, then opened her arms to embrace the younger woman. Miss Audrey frowned, but she didn't hide away. Instead, she took the initiative to hug the woman.

"Long time no see...Ms. Bronyance."

It wasn't a friendly greeting, but both women smiled.

Jenkins didn't know what happened behind him. He was just worried about meeting strange people again, and planned to tell his father about it when he went back. After he walked far away to make sure there was no danger, he looked back to make sure that the crazy woman had not followed. By then, the light spot representing the Giver had disappeared.

"I hope it won't cause any trouble."

He looked forward to it sincerely.

The bill collection address is No. 19, Guzmanl Shopping Street, which is easy to find. A brass-colored metal nameplate hangs on the left side of the store, but the store is closed at this time, and the "Closed" sign is hung on the door.

This store is similar in style to Dad’s antique store. The owner’s family lives on the second floor. Jenkins spent some more money to buy a handkerchief from the coat shop next door, and then found out that the shop owner, the Copper family, had not lived on the second floor since last year. They had another residence, No. 34, Lane Charles de Gaulle.

We walked around three streets before we saw the Copper family's house. It was a two-story building facing the street. According to the fat woman in the cloak shop, the second floor was rented to someone else by the Copper family. They lived on the same floor. building.

I walked up the steps under the awning and knocked on the door, but didn't hear a response for a long time. I knocked patiently for a while, but still got no response.

The Eye of Truth checked it out and there was nothing special in the house.

At this point, he could no longer look for other clues, but there were other ways. I walked down the steps to the street and looked up, then turned around and saw no pedestrians passing behind me, so I squatted down and put the chocolate on the ground.

He just saw a crack in the window on the second floor, which was obviously not locked.

"Go and see if there's anyone inside. Damn it, the Coppola family doesn't want to pay the balance, right~"

It was hard to coax Chocolate into helping. He watched it run for a while, then nimbly climbed the water pipe on the wall to the second floor, and easily jumped to the windowsill, almost knocking down the flower pot. Then he used his head to push the window open and went inside.

The window was not locked, which meant that there must be someone at home. Jenkins was already imagining the scene of him collecting debts.

The third minute of the pocket watch, the cat appeared at the window again and returned to Jenkins along the original path. The cat raised its head and threw the thing in its mouth at Jenkins' feet.

It was a key strung with a thin red nylon rope. Judging from the size and the shape of the key teeth, it should be the key to the door just now.

"Why did you bring the key out?"

He picked up the key in a panic and held it in his hand, then walked from the middle of the street to the wall. He was afraid that someone would pass by here and think he was a thief with bad intentions.

"Is there anyone in the house? Did anyone see you?"

He asked again.

"Meow~"

Chocolate rubbed his trouser legs with his cheek, and had no intention of answering the question at all.

"What's going on in the house?"

He asked the question again, but then he thought that this young cat might not have the wisdom to describe the answer he wanted with its claws.

So he picked it up with one hand and put the key in front of the cat with his left hand:

"Return this quickly and put it back where you got it from."

"Meow~"

Chocolate squinted and leaned his head against the man's arms, seemingly not understanding what he said.
