Chapter 2457 The Third "Guidance"

The priest struggled to look up at the source of the light, and saw Shad's face appearing on the side of the hole above, followed by his surprised voice:

"We found the priest! I said the ability to listen to the beating of the heart is the most suitable person to find in this situation!"

"Detective, get out of the way, I'll do it."

Another familiar voice sounded, and then the entire ruins shook. A few seconds later, two tall figures dug up the boulders and beams on the ruins, one on the left and the other on the right. Rat Augustus, who straightened up and knelt at the bottom of the ruins, looked at the backs of Shade Hamilton and Bill Schneider. Facing the sun behind the white mist, we stretched out our hands to him from a higher place:

"Priest Augustus, give us your hand and we will pull you up!"

At that moment, all the despair, doubts and coldness in his heart disappeared. The old man did not hold their hands, but looked at his right hand, then lowered his head and cried.

Shade looked at this scene in surprise, and then looked at the doctor. Bill Schneider, a professional psychiatrist, was also stunned, and then shook his head at Shade:

"It's okay, he needs to vent. Didn't you hear three other heartbeats? Oh, there, there are three children! Detective, hurry!"

As he spoke, he jumped down, and Shade immediately followed. And when he stepped into the deep pit, "she" in his ear said softly:

[Outlander, you have guided a hero, and you have some insights into "guidance". 】

[Note, this is the third time I have realized "guidance". You will definitely get spiritual runes next time, and their type is determined by the content of your insights. 】

"Huh? What did I do? No one drew the sword this time, and I didn't discuss justice with anyone~"

The confused foreigner asked in his mind, "she" did not answer, but her laughter was gentler than usual.

The three unconscious children were quickly moved to the ground, and the crying priest August followed them out of the ruins.

At this time, the entire building of the Yuewan City Orphanage had completely collapsed, and a surrounding street was also seriously damaged. Doctor Schneider went to help the priest find his luggage from the rubble, which was nearby and contained some potions and spell-casting materials.

Shade first used holy water to treat the wounds of the priests and children, then used the liquid treated with [Full Food] to heal the wounds, and finally grabbed the [Night Watch] and raised it high:

“Sunlight Healing!”

Amplified by [Night Watch], the warm yellow sunlight that was brighter and more pure than usual radiated from top to bottom in a cone shape and enveloped everyone. Even the uninjured Shade felt very comfortable when he was enveloped by this light:

"I knew that [Night Watch]'s power to increase the daylight series would be even more obvious."

Thinking in his mind, he found another towel and handed it to the priest. As for the three children, they were lying on the heating pad that Shade had taken out, sleeping peacefully in the sunshine.

"You guys, how did you find me?"

Priest August, who calmed down a little but still had red eyes, asked Shade. At this time, the doctor also came back with his suitcase, and answered the question for Shade:

"Although the detective and I both knew that you worked in an orphanage, we all thought that you had gone to the Red Heart Orphanage outside the city with the children. I was just in the city with the glowing monster and the vampire monster that came out of the sewer. fight, then"

The blue-eyed psychiatrist frowned slightly, it was difficult to describe the feeling:

"Light, well, like a halo that only appears at dawn, suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. I thought it was an illusion or a trap, or a strange relic. The detective said that there are a lot of such relics in the Moon Bay area recently. But I still followed the light and walked forward. The light was really warm.

Then I met the detective flying in the air. After he met me, he also saw the strange halo that I followed. So we worked together and came here. The detective heard the heartbeat under the ruins, and the two of us almost guessed what needed to be done.

The combination of the thaumaturgy of sensing heartbeats and [fossils turned into mud] is really convenient in this situation. "

"That strange halo has strong traces of miraculous elements, but I don't know what it is. But it disappeared after we got here. Its purpose should be to let us rescue you."

Shade said, still maintaining [Sunlight Healing], with the increase of [Night Watch] during the daytime phase, the healing effect of this spell is perfect.

Priest August did not ask how Shade had learned the thaumaturgy of the Church of the Sun. He just said softly:

"Yes, I just prayed to my Lord [Mr. Dawn] that you might have encountered a divine revelation."

Shade and the doctor looked at each other in surprise. Shade was about to say something when Priest August shook his head:

"Detective, don't waste your energy on continuing treatment. I'm already cured."

He was originally sitting on the ground, but now he stood up holding on to the ground. Priest Augustus had always given Shade the impression of an elderly man, but seeing him straighten up now, both Shade and the doctor clearly felt that he looked much younger.

The steam mist dispersed behind Priest Augustus, and among the whistle and bells that sounded like death, the priest's four life rings appeared. The core spirit rune [Glimmer] glowed faintly. The priest gently pressed his right shoulder blade, and a special light appeared, and then went out.

Priest August closed his eyes and let out a long breath, and the strange shadow of spread wings flashed behind his life ring.

Both Shade and the doctor took a step back in surprise. Priest Augustus, who opened his eyes, shook his head again and said to Shade:

"Don't worry about that bone anymore, it's fine."

"Although I still don't quite understand what happened, it's good that it's okay. The bones belong to you."

Priest Augustus said to the doctor again:

"It will take about half an hour for my strength to fully recover. Could you please accompany me to send these three children to the Red Heart Orphanage outside the city?"

"certainly."

Dr. Schneider naturally would not refuse:

"I'm not worried about you being alone. I don't even dare to think about what would have happened if the detective and I didn't show up just now. If those three children died in front of you, you probably wouldn't say anything about it. Oh, detective, I'm with you right now. The priest will go out of the city together and come back after dropping off the children. Don't worry, we can catch up and help you."

"Don't be so anxious. There are no signs of God coming now."

Shade shook his head. In fact, he was also worried about them. He didn't want to call his friends to help, only to have them seriously injured in the end.

Without further ado, the priest and the doctor took their three children and set off immediately. But before leaving, the priest told Shade one more thing:

"These lights and fog are strange. The departing souls are imprisoned in the fog."

"What's the meaning?"

Shade asked, and the priest just explained in a low voice:

"Since this morning, the souls of all the people who died in Yuewan City have not gone to where they should go, but are bound by the light in the fog. Because the breath of death is completely suppressed by the light, there will be no wave of resentful spirits. , but this phenomenon is very wrong.”

Shade suddenly thought of the memory of Miss Brown's soul melting into light in the "past life" and finally becoming a "Light Petitioner".

"Have those souls dissolved?"

"No, at least not yet."

"I'm more worried about you, Detective, than that."

The doctor raised his eyebrows at Shade:

"Is what happens next really something you can solve?"

"believe him."

Instead, it was the priest who spoke for Shade, which shocked both Shade and the doctor. After all, at times like this in the past, the priest was always more worried than anyone else.

Although the old priest's eyes were still a little red, his hand on Shade's shoulder was extremely strong:

"Since the detective has chosen this path and chosen to stay here, he has his own reasons. We just need to help him as much as possible. The future is in our own hands and we believe in him."

Dr. Schneider couldn't help but sigh:

"If we had known earlier that your trip to Yuewan would be so effective in treating psychological problems, we would have let you come a few months earlier. Well, detective, please be careful and we'll leave first."

"Be careful."

Priest Augustus also said to Shade, and threw him another bottle of No. 2 holy water. Then he and the doctor walked to the Mist Orphanage with the three children in their arms. The horse pulling the carriage was killed by the collapsed stable.

Shade watched them leave, then turned around and prepared to return to Belindel Manor:

"The priest seemed to have completely figured it out. If he told Dorothy about this, I wonder what she would think."

But following the doctor and the halo here, he took a long circle around the city.

Other buildings on the street where the Yuewan City Orphanage is located were also damaged, but only the orphanage building completely collapsed, so Shade didn't need to think about helping.

And when he found the alley and was about to turn into a red butterfly again in the alley, another person came from the exit at the other end of the alley.

There was a large black birthmark on the other person's face, and he was holding a very strange thing in his hand. Above the rectangular bronze handle are four dragon heads facing in four directions, and the eyes of the dragon head facing Shade are shining red in the fog.

Shade was startled, and then he recognized the opponent as a ring warlock with black dragon scales on his face who had fought against him many times in the Dragon Feast Order.

Shade didn't know whether the other party recognized him, but the other party was obviously much stronger than the previous two meetings. When the cultist saw Shad, he stretched out his neck suddenly without any hesitation. Then the human head immediately turned into a huge black dragon head that was extremely disproportionate to the body. He opened his mouth and sprayed out blazing black flames in the direction of Shad. .

The flames rushed along the alley like water rushing along the river, but as a brilliant moonlight appeared, the sword light split the sea of ​​​​fire and rushed towards the head dragon, but was blocked at the last moment by the strange bronze detector in the hands of the cultists.

With a clang~, the detector was blown away and inserted diagonally into the wall of the alley. Shade took a step forward and came directly in front of the cultist. He swung his sword and chopped off the black dragon's head.
