The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Bang!

Whoops!

The female corpse smashed the glass with her head and turned in in a weird posture, her hands and feet were clinging to the ceiling, her head was thrown back, and her braids swept across Sean's cheeks.

"Dead corpse!" Shawn flipped through the "Explorer's Handbook" in his mind, staying on one page: corpse, a corpse that lost its soul after death, it will act when cursed or manipulated, which is very dangerous.

Still feel frightened, but Sean is mentally prepared for the danger, so he won't be overwhelmed by fright.

The corpse rolled down and landed on the ground like a huge spider, crawling over nimbly.

Due to his panic, Sean's hands and feet trembled slightly, but after all, he had repeated the training. Although it was a little slower than when he was stable, he still took out the holy water bottle and smashed it.

The glass bottle shattered on the corpse, and the holy water burned out bursts of white smoke, giving off a strong sour smell.

Taking advantage of the corpse's wailing and retreating, Sean took out the holy dagger - the corpse's weakness lies in the brain or heart!

He took a step forward, inserted the dagger into the eye socket of the corpse, the exorcism effect of the holy pattern came into play, and the opponent made a hoarse scream as he stepped back.

Sean wanted to take out the dagger and attack again, but the corpse's pale and cold hand held the blade, even if it was burned by the holy pattern and smoked out, he would not let go.

With a wave of the corpse's other hand, Sean felt a malicious intent, and the rusty claws suddenly appeared in the air, slashing his arm and causing him to stagger a few steps.

The grudge-rich attack has the "vicious" feature, causing additional pain to the creature, and inflicting a grudge infection that damages the spirit.

Sean lost the dagger. The corpse's cheek was cut open. At this time, as if with a fierce mockery, he took out the holy dagger from his eye socket and threw it behind him.

The scars caused by the vicious claw strikes were not deep, but the burning pain and malice spread from the wounds, and Sean had lost his strength.

"Damn, I feel like I'm poisoned...

"Because of the huge resentment before death, this corpse is too powerful, I am afraid that only a Queen-level explorer can defeat her...

As the corpse crawled towards Sean, he opened his wide mouth, revealing all his teeth. The sight made Sean shudder...

When Sean was a little dizzy, the door was knocked open.

Naya said aloud in some ancient language of Nandel, and walked towards the corpse aggressively.

The corpse actually showed fear, and shrank back.

Several black, shroud-wrapped hands emerged from the air around it, firmly grasping its limbs.

"Mr. Sean!" Naya said amid the surging resentment, "Cut out its heart!"

Shawn realized that this was the only chance to survive, so he took back the dagger with his weak body.

He stabbed the corpse's chest with force, but the dagger was blocked by the ribs.

The black hand was fading, and Naya maintained her strength from behind: "No, pull a hole from the bottom of the rib, reach in and dig it!"

Sean looked back at Naya in disbelief. The latter turned his head and roared at the door: "Leon, retract your head and don't allow me to see it!"

Sean shrank back when he saw a small head at the door.

Although Sean was extremely reluctant to take out the heart from the corpse's body, he had no choice but to do it rather than die here.

Using a dagger to cut a hole at the lower end of the corpse's left sternum, the corpse spit out foul-smelling liquid while cursing in a crow-like voice.

"To become a explorer, this is the only way to go." Sean put his hand in through the incision with courage.

Soft, sticky, cold, and accompanied by a stench.

When Sean felt that he was about to lose his mind, his hand touched something that kept shaking.

Like a cub that was frozen to the point of shivering. Sean clenched it tightly and pulled it out.

A gray-white, somewhat rotten heart trembled in the air for a while, then hardened and crumbled into ashes...

The corpse also stopped struggling, and turned to ashes along with the heart, leaving only a small skeleton.

"Lion, stay outside and don't come in!" Naya closed the door while panting.

She carried Sean to the bathroom, while chanting prayers, she repeatedly washed the wound on her arm with clean water.

In the rush of water, Sean said, "Mrs. Garcia, how do you...?"

"We'll talk about it later," Naya's expression was serious, "this kind of wound may die if not washed in time."

Sean is not too worried, he can feel that those vicious resentments have stopped eroding.

Back in the room, he helped Sean to sit on the sofa, he felt better: "Mrs. Garcia, are you an explorer?"

Obviously, the black hands wrapped in the shroud were summoned by Naya, so Sean had such a guess.

Mrs. Naja walked over to the remains of the corpse: "No, I'm just a laundryman.

"In our hometown of Modeler, my grandmother and mother both believed in Akon, the **** of death, and they were the female shamans on the Day of the Dead.

"I'm also half a female shaman, so I know some knowledge of the dead. Although I left the village later, I can still recite the content of the shaman scriptures.

"And Akon, the **** of death, is the **** who can best restrain the wandering dead..."

As she spoke, she observed the remains on the ground: "Mr. Sean, you have to come and see this."

Sean stood up and looked at the corpse skull that Naya pointed to. There was a crescent-shaped notch on the forehead of the gray-white skull.

"What is this?" Sean frowned instinctively.

"As far as I know, the crescent moon is the mark of a witch. You have just been attacked by a witch's corpse." Naya tightly squeezed the charm she was wearing, "Mr. Sean, I don't know what happened to you. , but you're in a bad situation!

"I suggest you, it is best to seek shelter in a nearby church - choose a 'god' to become his believer. After you have a certificate of faith, you can not only get the protection of God, but also reduce a lot of trouble."

Before he came to New Zealand, Sean knew that more than 70% of the people of New Zealand were believers of the Salvation Church. There are several different "Gods" in the Salvation Church. If you choose a belief, you can get a "Certificate of Faith", and you can also get some benefits.

"Certificate of Faith" is an important personal document that should be checked by the precepts. With this certificate on the body, it will be much more convenient to live in New Zealand.

Because Sean didn't know how long his journey would last, he didn't plan to choose faith before.

But after Mrs. Garcia's suggestion, Sean also began to think about it. After all, the faith of Salvationism can indeed play a certain role in exorcising evil spirits.

For example, if Sean wore a diamond-shaped frame representing Holy Father Keane, the corpse just now would not be able to hurt him so easily.

Garcia folded his hands together and said cautiously, "Mr. Sean, I have a favor and I need your help..."

Just now Naya saved himself, Sean would definitely not refuse: "Go ahead, ma'am."

"You're a Leonian, and you probably don't know much about Newlander's laws...

"Although Newlander is a constitutional country, the Lord who does not believe in Messianicism can still live.

"However, if the indoctrination officers know that I was once the female shaman of Akon, the **** of death, and I still continue to believe in this 'god who abandoned mankind', I am afraid that I will be expelled from the country by the divine court..."

Expulsion means parting from Lyon. Sean knew the seriousness of the matter: "Don't worry ma'am, I will keep today's affairs a secret."

Naya's eyes showed gratitude.

Sean asked, "What do you mean by a **** who has abandoned humans just now?"

Naya: "Those traditional gods are declining day by day, and only the Holy Father Kean of the Salvation Church has shown miracles.

"I have no intention of questioning the teachings of Salvation - however, they say that except for the gods of Salvation, all the traditional gods have abandoned man, and I cannot agree with that. Akon is still in our lineage! Only man will turn his back on him, he will not leave!

"Anyway... I'm not disrespectful to the Salvation Church, it's just that I have my own perseverance."

Sean understood, and nodded vigorously: "In Newlander, you have your own ideas on belief, which is a very courageous thing - I will keep a secret for you..."

Sean was going to call the police~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Naya and Leon were here, things would get difficult to explain, so Sean let them go.

————

Sean called the police officer Link who was in charge of the female corpse case in the factory that day. After explaining that he was attacked by the corpse, he fell into deep thought again in the room.

He looked at the skeleton with the "Witch's Moon": "This corpse is a witch, so it must not be Arya.

"It can be seen that Aaliyah did go to Bill's banquet. However, the person who took him there did not expect Aaliyah to be photographed, so he used a powerful force to distort the facts and surroundings. People's memories, so that Aaliyah in the photo disappears, and the person who took the photo forgets their existence.

"However, this power can only affect the 'attendees of the day' and the 'people associated with the photo', so I and Miss Daisy were not affected.

"In this way, this kind of power only affects a dozen people and changes some photos, and it is not a power that can completely distort the world line...

"I thought it was a miracle before; if it was just a tampering on this scale, even a powerful person could do it!

"At least it's not a situation of confrontation with 'God'..." Sean sighed softly.

While thinking, his eyes did not leave the skull in his hand. He suddenly discovered that the notch on the crescent moon on the skull's forehead was overflowing with blood-red brilliance.

"This is?" Sean widened his eyes.

The red light flashed into Sean's pupils and reflected into his soul.

In the soul, the candlestick-shaped symbol has changed.

The red light turned into a small "Witch's Moon", which was outlined on a "candle branch" extending from the symbol.
