under hope

It was an ordinary night, with stars in the sky and the moon shining brightly.

"Delicious food~"

The woman holding the sword slit the throat of the human in front of her and savored his internal organs.

"Great God of Many Faces, please send your blessings here!"

The priestess in black robe raised her tin staff high, and summoned pitch-black thunder and lightning to chop all the humans within sight. The old man in Bagua yellow robe was so frightened that he hurriedly picked up the old book on the pedestal and fled in a hurry.

And the two The woman did not pursue him.

The old man held the old book tightly in his arms, raised his index and middle fingers together while running away, and recited a mantra in his mouth.

In the midst of the muttered mantra, the old man was protected by golden light. Along the way, he broke through many demons composed of black mist.

The exit was right in front of him, and the old man felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Uh-huh..."

A mouthful of old blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth, and his limbs suddenly became weak. The old man lowered his eyes with difficulty.

A young hand with iron claws pierced his chest, and cleverly... Avoiding the old book.

The old man could no longer feel the beating in his chest, because the squirming heart was already held in the palm of his little hand.

"Titi, complete the mission."

There was a ruthless murmur from behind, and the hand clenched into a fist again, and the heart was pulled away from his body.

He fell, and fell before hope.

The other party took away the hand in his arms. Old books, wagging their tails happily

"Sir, Titi got it."

The girl with animal ears handed the old book to a sheep skull warlock and looked at him with big eyes, as if expecting something.

"Well done, my servant."

The warlock stroked the girl's furry head, and there was no expression on the pale skull.

"The moves I learned from the big city are so cool, Titi likes them."

The girl closed her eyes with satisfaction and enjoyed the caress of the warlock.

"Humph, Titi is so cunning."

The black-robed priest who arrived with the sword-wielding woman showed an envious expression.

"Your Excellency has received new power from the God of Many Faces, why don't we test it tonight."

The eyes of the woman holding the sword became blurred, and she began to lick her lips involuntarily.

"Stop it, Christina, and Anne."

"Tonight, we have more important things to do."

The Sheep Skull Warlock no longer wore the old black robes of the past, but put on a more gorgeous robe.

Now, he was officially named"Warlock".

The Warlock stopped stroking Titi, and opened the book with both hands. , chanting strange spells in his mouth

——The whole world is in ruins, chaos is coming

——Here I call the city of nightmares

——Here I implore the ever-changing god

——In the name of"The Book of the Old Days"

, after reciting the incantation, a dark beam of light burst from the pages of the book into the starry night sky.

The stars dimmed, dark clouds covered the moon, and a twisted city loomed in the clouds.

"everything is ready"

"The great gods have sent down new instructions."

The warlock closed the book, and the vision in the sky disappeared.

He raised his arms and conveyed the great god's whisper to the three servants of God:

"Gentlemen, we will usurp the Son of God tonight."

In the capital of the Republic.

A slightly tired man was pacing anxiously in front of the operating room.

Lying inside now is his wife, who has been pregnant for a year. At this time last year, his wife was diagnosed with COVID-19. After I became pregnant, the fetal image was very stable, and there has been no abnormality to this day.

My father said this was a good sign, and only children blessed by the Dragon God would be pregnant for twelve months.

"Nothing like this has happened in decades. This child is destined to be extraordinary."

This is what his father said to him.

However, the man didn't care. He just hoped that his wife and children would be safe and sound. He had seen Shenlong when he was a child, but it was only on the calendar at home.

According to the older generation, , the Dragon God is a five-clawed golden dragon with wings on its back, and its body is so long that it can surround the entire Eastern Continent.

"It's just psychological sustenance."

The man smiled, clasped his hands together and prayed quietly

"May the Dragon God bless you and be safe."

The door of the operating room was opened, and a doctor in a white coat walked out.

The man hurriedly greeted him.

"Mother and son are safe."

Just a few words, but they relieved the man's heart.

His wife was pushed out soon after. Looking at the disheveled lover on the stretcher, the man felt heartbroken.

With the acquiescence of the nurse, he held his hand My wife’s hand accompanied me all the way to the lounge

"Mr. Li, come here."

After placing his wife on the hospital bed, a nurse waved to him in front of the door

"Where is the child?"

The man asked anxiously

"I'll take you to see it. Everything is normal."

The nurse led the man to the incubator and told him the location of the child.

The man cautiously approached the incubator and looked at the healthy baby inside. He couldn't help but burst into tears. After twelve months of pregnancy, he was finally pregnant. It paid off.

He took out his mobile phone and took a photo, then returned to the lounge.

His wife had woken up and was sitting in front of the bed in a daze.

"Hey, Yinger, look."

The man happily sat by the bed and showed the photos on his phone to his wife.

"………"

The wife did not speak, but slowly began to sob silently. From the moment she entered the operating room, this was the first time she saw her child.

The wife rested her forehead on the man's broad shoulder and sniffed heavily.

"In a few days, we will be discharged from the hospital."

The man put his arms around his wife and patted her back gently.

The night was already very late, and there were only a few doctors left in the hospital on night duty.

The wife had fallen asleep, and the man was so sleepy that he lay on the hospital bed. He was fast asleep.

In the surveillance room, the security guard yawned very sleepily, his eyes scanning the surveillance video in front of him over and over again.

"Great God of Many Faces, conceal your ignorance."

Soft prayers sounded in the silent corridor

——Four or five surveillance videos have been hacked.

"Um? What's going on..."

The security guard stood up alertly, but in the next second he collapsed weakly on the chair.

"Sleep well~" His pale fingers slowly crossed the security guard's neck, causing him to fall into a permanent dream.

In the greenhouse, the sheep skull warlock was checking the babies in the incubator one by one.

"Sir, something is strange."

Ti Ti, who was hiding in the warlock's robe, swung her sword towards a beam of golden light, but the blade passed through the light.

"Wu... Titi's knife can't cut it..."

The petite animal-eared girl was very disappointed.

"He can’t sit still anymore, but it doesn’t matter, He can’t do anything to us."

The warlock patted the girl's head gently and began to look for the target again.

The golden light shone on the siren, but there was no sound for a long time.

"A little bit... Sister Anne has already cut off the circuit."

The girl made a face at the golden light, and tried to shake her fist at the golden light.

"Ah, found it."

The warlock opened the hatch of an incubator and took out the baby boy inside. The golden flame ignited in the hands of the warlock, but it had no significant effect on him at all.

"Huh-huh-ah!"

The girl blew air into the warlock's hand, but she never thought that the flames would become bigger.

The warlock's godless eyes glowed with an ominous red light, causing black flames to appear on the baby's body.

"His soul will be ours, and you will now have no extra strength to produce another Son of God."

The warlock looked at the dimming golden light in front of him and said in a mocking tone. The golden light gradually disappeared into the moonlight, leaving only the faint light of the warming box in the greenhouse. The black flame no longer burned, and the warlock would The baby was put back into the incubator, and the golden flames on his hands disappeared.

"call……"

The girl breathed a relieved sigh of relief

"It's time to leave."

The warlock waved his hand and opened a black door, and took the girl in.

Outside the door, the black-robed priest and the woman holding the sword were already waiting here.

"Sir, now you can test that power."

The woman holding the sword is still brooding about what happened before.

"If possible, Anne, I would like to try again."

The black-robed priest said coquettishly.

"Titi also wants it."

The animal-eared girl who had been staying by the warlock's side also hugged him longingly.

"Well...everything has been done, all that's left is a brief report"

"Those can be sorted out later, though."

The sheep skull warlock showed even more terrifying power here.

——New power brings joy.

After an unknown amount of time, the servants of the gods were already lying on the ground and fell asleep. The warlock adjusted his collar to prepare for the guests.

"Adjusting to new forces is always exhausting."

The red-haired man showed a cynical smile and appeared in front of the warlock without warning.

"You can rest, and there will be nothing else to do next."The red-haired man approached the warlock, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Got it, this is for you."

The warlock handed the old book in his arms to the red-haired man.

"very good. So, goodbye."

The red-haired man put away his books, and a thick scarlet fog slowly appeared around him.

"You passed that door’？"

The warlock asked in surprise

"Yes, a blessing from the God of Rules."

After saying that, the red-haired man disappeared into the thick fog.

"Well..."

The warlock looked back at the sleeping servants of God, stretched out his hand and chanted a spell to summon a carriage.

He carried the servants of God into the carriage one by one, and then sat in the driver's seat.

Wuyan Under His control, the horses galloped towards the starless night sky, gradually disappearing under the moonlight.

At this point, the journey reached the end

——That nightmare city hidden in the dark clouds.
