Chapter 106 Egg of Chaos
Running does not exist.
Compared to this vulgar statement, Luo Yan prefers to call it a strategic shift.
What frightened him was not only the mad knight with a fourth arm, but also the expanding crack directly above his head.
The cracks surrounding the crimson beam seemed to be expanding, as if something was being released from there.
The ritual of chaos has been completed.
He has done everything he can to weaken this power from chaos as much as possible.
Until this terrifying force stabilizes, perhaps the best choice at this moment is to stay away from the edge and wait and see.
Just as Luo Yan jumped from one roof to another, leaping across the street and speeding towards the nearest wall of the town, a pitch black ripple suddenly emerged from the crimson beam connecting the ground and the dome, and quickly spread to all sides!
The pitch-black ripples were like ocean waves, sweeping over the stone or wooden buildings and penetrating through them without any hindrance.
At this moment, the adventurers on the street were looking up at the sky, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the blood-red beam of light.
It was not until the dark ripples swept across their chests that the adventurers standing on the street faintly noticed something was wrong.
"What is that?!"
"Something... seems to have passed through my body!"
"You all saw it?!"
"Unbelievable..."
The seeds of doubt were sown along with the dark ripples, and were planted in the hearts of almost every adventurer present.
They looked around, uneasy, and whispered... uncontrollably giving fear to the irresistible force.
What are the ripples?! And what is it trying to do with this scarlet pillar? "
"Could it be... that the Demon King is back?!"
"No, I don't think it's the power of hell——"
At this time, a middle-aged adventurer in his forties who was carrying a battle ax suddenly shouted loudly.
"It's not the Demon King! It's Novel! I forgot who told me, just now... I seemed to hear the name!"
Norwell...
The strange mist!
He is the embodiment of knowledge and conspiracy, the source of madness and fantasy, and one of the four gods who rule the realm of chaos!
That is not something that can be discussed openly on the surface.
But this problem does not exist in this safe zone located on the fourth floor of the maze and run by the Adventurer's Guild.
As people whispered and discussed, Nowell's name spread, and more and more people heard the nagging whispers.
At first there were ten people.
Hundred people later——
Eventually thousands of people were involved!
As the rumors spread from mouth to mouth, the image of the indescribable majesty gradually became clear in everyone's minds.
It is a smoky body composed of thousands of twisted faces and endless nightmares.
Every opening and closing of the lips is whispering, telling a secret that even just hearing it is enough to drive people crazy.
The seeds planted by the black ripples began to germinate, and gradually grew stronger as the panic spread, eventually stretching out twisted branches.
The thick gray fog not only covered everyone's eyes, but also sealed their minds and hearts, and even their souls fell into the boundless abyss.
In the end, everyone was surrounded by the boundless darkness and became Nowell's mouthpiece, puppets manipulated by the conspiracy.
Everyone is a mad whisperer.
It is also a petri dish for chaos.
The middle-aged adventurer who first called out Novel's name was the first to embrace this boundless power.
A blood-red thin line split from the bloody beam of light and pierced the top of his head like an arrow from a string.
The moment he was hit by the blood line, his pupils were immediately stained with turbid mist, and then the misty mist poured out from his mouth and nose.
The thick smoke was like silk, wrapping around him in circles, gradually turning into a scarlet cocoon.
That is the egg that breeds chaos!
Finally someone realized something was wrong, woke up from the nightmare, and shouted at the top of his lungs at the crowd.
"Hurry and put your head down!"
"Don't look at it!"
The sound woke up some people.
After they came to their senses, they started running towards the outside of the town.
However, the sober voice was still too small after all.
As more and more people were involved, blood lines gradually intertwined into a huge net over the town.
And the crooked streets and alleys are all filled with eggs of chaos entangled in the red thread spit out by the scarlet blood column!
Looking at the street scene flying by below him, Luo Yan had an expression of astonishment on his face.
Is this going to sacrifice the entire settlement? !
"Yuyou, what on earth is going on?!"
"Yuyou, floating next to Luo Yan, said nervously.
"I, I, I, I don't know, Lord Demon King, anyway, we'd better leave here as soon as possible... I feel like those red eggs are hatching something terrible."
If this is true, isn't now the best time to destroy them?
Just when Luo Yan was thinking this, a harsh buzz suddenly sounded from the top of his head, overwhelming all the noisy and chaotic sounds.
The whole world suddenly became quiet.
The crack torn open by the crimson blood column suddenly widened, and then a huge head made of smoke protruded from the abyss-like crack.
It was a face without facial features, or in other words, its facial features had been completely hidden in the thick scarlet mist.
A creepy feeling crawled into Luo Yan's heart.
Although he did not meet the faceless man's gaze, he could still clearly feel the pair of eyes hidden behind the mist, staring at him proudly.
Norwell...
That is His name.
He heard the whisper in the mist.
"You can't escape..."
Escape?
"Which of your eyes saw me escaping!"
Luo Yan raised his eyebrows and slapped him back unceremoniously.
"This is called a strategic shift!"
The whispers were silent for a few seconds, and then he let out a chuckle and said the words that made Luo Yan's whole body goosebumps stand up.
"I saw it right..."
"You are an interesting guy."
"I will definitely get you."
...
The white fog that shrouded Mist Town was dyed red by the blood-colored beam of light.
Looking at the large nets that appeared out of thin air on the street, the members of the Knights stationed in the "Secret Forest Rest" all showed expressions of astonishment.
ious by Alex looking up at the sky outside the window, dumbfounded as he stared at the huge net covering the dome, muttering to himself.
"That's the evil spirit in the chaos! Don't listen to that guy talking to himself!"
The armed priest pulled out the mace, silently reciting the incantation, and shouted at the people around him, "Come closer to me!"
At the same time as his words fell, a holy light emerged from the air, covering the entire hotel.
It was not only him who recited the incantation, but also the other priests accompanying the group.
Bathed in that holy light, Alex felt that his groggy brain was much clearer, and the whispers in his ears quickly disappeared.
It seems that the evil spirit of chaos is not omnipotent, and is still an evil that can be dispersed by the Holy Light Disc.
Finding this shelter protected by the Holy Light, many people on the street who had not been eroded by the power of chaos ran in.
· Among them were adventurers, businessmen, employees of the Adventurer's Guild, and mercenary guards...
· The already crowded hotel lobby became even more crowded now, and even the old stairs were full of people.
The frightened people exchanged frightened glances and whispered in despair.
"Saint Sith is above..."
"How could the evil spirit of Chaos... appear here?!"
"Could Hell and Chaos collude together?"
"Such a thing has never happened before! Now I need you to shut up and listen to me!"
Hinterrupting everyone's whispering conversation, the knight commander's deputy looked at the increasingly ominous fog outside the window and said in a serious voice.
"The sacred barrier cannot last long, we must leave here as soon as possible!"
The armed priest holding a mace and casting spells turned to look at him.
"What should Knight Commander Mel do?"
Looking around at the frightened faces in the hotel lobby, the Knight Commander's deputy gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
"I'll take a few brothers to find him! The rest will follow Charles and escort the adventurers and civilians to evacuate!"
Adventurers don't actually need escorts, but besides adventurers, there are many people here who are ordinary civilians.
Such as hotel owners, chefs, waiters, etc...
Knights of the Trident Knights are obliged to protect the people of Archduke Campbell and the people who serve Saint Sith.
Even if this is not the territory of Grand Duke Campbell, the believers here cannot be said to be very pious.
The armed priest named Charles nodded, held the shoulder of the knight commander's deputy and said "take care", and then looked seriously at the group of travelers staying in the hotel behind him, as well as the businessmen and adventurers who ran in for refuge.
"You have also seen the situation here. It is not a place where we can continue to stay. We plan to evacuate from here before the situation worsens! At least leave the fourth floor of the maze! I will not force you all to follow us, and in fact we cannot guarantee the safety of everyone, but if you are willing to believe us, then follow us!"
No one wants to stay here any longer.
Although the hotel owner was reluctant to part with this hotel, seeing that everyone was planning to leave, he had no choice but to reluctantly make a decision.
· I hope his store will still be there after everything is over...
· A group of people went their separate ways.
· The knight captain's deputy led ten knights to the center of the town, while the armed priest named Charles led the others to the nearest city gate.
The guards at the city gate have all run away, and those who didn't have time to escape were also wrapped in the scarlet eggs.
This is simply a natural disaster...
Alex couldn't help but think to himself.
And just when a group of people rushed to the gate of the town wall, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the door.
No -
That face is clearly that of the person on the wanted notice.
He was obviously not the only one who discovered the clues.
All members of the Knights, including Charles, invariably put their hands on their weapons and looked at the man standing at the city gate as if they were facing an enemy.
“Are you Miranda?!” Charles was the first to break the silence, walking forward with a mace in hand, staring at him with his eyes.
"Miranda?"
Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh.
hh "Have you not realized that you have been fooled yet?"
hh Charles stared at him intently.
"What do you mean..."
Luo Yan said with a calm expression.
"The charges on the wanted poster are all false. The guy named Miranda is the original Mad Whisperer, and your knight captain is the second one."
Charles did not speak. The knight on the side took the lead in pulling out his sword and pointing the sword at him angrily.
"What a blasphemy... Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
"You don't have to believe it, you just need to answer me, if the murderer you are chasing is correct, why the ritual of chaos is still completed."
Luo Yan did not look at the knight, but turned his attention to the battle priest holding the mace.
Based on his understanding of human society on the surface, most of these priests have received professional education in seminaries.
Even if the human church may not teach them what the chaos ritual looks like specifically, it will at least tell them the relevant principles.
The evil spirits in charge of destruction and killing need to use the bloodiest slaughter to please, while the sacrifices needed by the evil spirits in charge of conspiracy are naturally conspiracy and lies...
Obviously.
If they had been on the right path from the beginning, there would have been no chance of Norville coming, and the cost of corruption would not have to be borne by the residents of Misty Town.
As Luo Yan expected, Charles had a look of astonishment on his face.
Without stopping, Luo Yan continued to speak while the iron was hot.
"If I'm not wrong, you killed eleven suspects during the interrogation."
"Suspects?! They are not suspects! We saw with our own eyes the breath of evil spirits coming out of their bodies——" The dumb-headed Green Knight with the sword pointed at him tried to interrupt him again, but this time he was stopped by Charles on the side.
Charlie stared at Luo Yan intently and asked in a serious tone.
Luo Yan said calmly.
"Because I saw twelve sacrifices flying into the air, which were the souls of the unjust dead, and the twelfth sacrifice was Miranda herself, the guy who broke the window and escaped...Unfortunately, he was just killed by your knight commander."
While speaking, Luo Yan glanced at the forest outside the city gate with disdain.
"This coward... I didn't even care about him plotting against me, and even pulled him back from the hell gate. Fortunately, he ran away and disappeared."
Faced with the undoubted truth, all the knights present showed shaken expressions on their faces... including the stunned young man who drew his sword and pointed it at him.
Luo Yan could tell that they were truly devout believers.
If they did not feel a little awe, they would not have to show wavering or remorse for their temporary confusion.
Charlie took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions in his heart.
There are more important things now than repenting in front of the cross -
"I don't believe that Knight Commander Mel would betray Saint Sith, but I admit that what you said makes sense. We may have been deceived by the strange mist and unknowingly become accomplices of evil spirits... I will take him and everyone to the church in Thunder City to repent."
After a pause, he looked at Luo Yan and continued.
"This is what happens later, now... I want to know who you are?"
Luo Yan looked directly into his eyes.
"You can guess who I am, but I'm sure that if I say it here, there will be no possibility of our cooperation."
Charles frowned.
Lord, I want to join hands with you."
…
On the other side, in the center of Misty Town, the embarrassed Knight Captain Mel was stumbling out of the alley.
Crimson fog enveloped everything.
Looking at the scarlet follicles on the street, an intoxicated and even crazy laugh gradually appeared on that enthusiastic face.
"The Kingdom of Heaven is standing here! The door of truth is opening to me! The angel's egg... What else can prove that this is heaven than this!"
"Hahahaha... I am indeed right! I am the only one who discovered... Your Holiness the Pope A secret that even the God-chosen Emperor has not discovered! "
"Must - tell more people!"
Rapid footsteps were heard in the distance, and eleven knights were running along the corroded street, and the person leading the way was his deputy.
Looking at the knight commander with four arms, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his pupils filled with astonishment trembled slightly.
That is...
Their commander? !
"Mel White..." He unconsciously called out the officer's name, trying to wake him up, "Can you hear me?"
While speaking, his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
"Ah, Verne...you're here." Looking at his dear subordinates, Mel's face showed a pleasant smile, and he enthusiastically opened his arms to greet the group. "You are here just in time. I have discovered a great secret and am planning to share it with you..." Guess what happened? "
"Saint Sis and Novel are actually the same person. No one has guessed such an obvious truth. Sure enough, the truth is only in the hands of truly smart people——"
"What a blasphemy!!"
Before he could finish his words, the knight standing next to Verne had already drawn his sword and roared towards Knight Commander Mel.
This is the last dignity he can reserve for his superior - to kill the great Saint Sith before he desecrates him.
However, he still underestimated the power of the Chosen One.
Such an unreasonable power that even the Demon King chose to avoid the edge temporarily.
A scarlet light flashed, and before the charging knight could swing out his sword, it turned into a rain of blood and dispersed into the red mist.
The streets were deathly silent.
Including Verne, all the knights stared at him.
So fast——
They didn’t even see what was happening!
At this moment, the follicles all over the street underwent new changes. The first cocoons to condense were the first to sprout scarlet buds.
It has no head.
In other words, the body is its head.
The bloody mouth opened from the navel, and a two-meter-long tongue protruded out like a python, dancing together with the waving long arms in the bloody mist.
… The Heart-Eating Demon."
A desperate expression appeared on every face.
Looking at the ashen-faced subordinates, Mel laughed happily again.
"See? My angels are growing vigorously, and their wings are so beautiful... Do you want me to help you get a pair?"
"Get ready to fight!!!" Verne let out a desperate roar, pulled out his long sword and rushed towards the former commander.
He knew it was meaningless.
But he has no choice!
Looking at this group of ants who could not accept the reality, Mel's face showed genuine disgust.
ial
Just let the flesh and blood of these guys feed his hungry servants.
"Kill them all!"
"Ah——!"
The screaming Heart Eaters swarmed up, and in just a few breaths, the remaining ten knights were submerged in the flesh-red ocean.
Looking at the dismembered former subordinates, Mel had a cruel smile on his face, looking across the sea of blood towards the north city gate.
Norwell is craving for more sacrifices——
The adult must be fed.
