"They can turn...the whole castle into gold...
"Why can't we cure our disease?"
After hearing what the child said, Sean suddenly realized: "This is the period after Flamel abused the Philosopher's Stone?"
After "Dawn Warlock" Flamel restored the Philosopher's Stone, in order to please the king, he used the Philosopher's Stone to create many miracles. As a result, the plague broke out in the country the next year...
The casualties numbered in the tens of thousands.
"This is...the Apennines in the sixteenth century?"
Sean frowned, constantly thinking about the relationship between Labyrinth Island and time and space.
Doll Scrapyard, Plague City...
"What kind of place is Maze Island?"
Still have no clue.
The sick child broke out into a violent cough again
Sean heard movement behind him and pulled Olivia to hide in the closet next to him...
Tens of seconds later, several people broke into the room.
The two leaders were wearing ordinary cloth, and their mouths and noses were covered with white cloth.
The man walking behind was wearing a black coat and leather gloves, with the cuffs tied tightly with a belt.
Wearing a large black wide-brimmed hat on his head, and a leather beak mask on his face...
"Doctor Beak?"
This is a type of person often seen in Europe during the plague.
Together with the clergy, they vainly "treated" the plague-infected and disposed of the corpses of the infected.
Since the full-body isolation attire isolates the fleas that spread the plague to a certain extent, their survival rate is higher than that of civilians.
The infected child had lost consciousness, and Doctor Beak directed the masked man to carry him out...
After looking at Olivia, Sean chose to follow quietly in order to find out the truth about Maze Island.
Passing by a cemetery filled with simple diamond-shaped trellises, Sean smelled the smell of burning wood in the air.
Following Doctor Beak and his party from a distance, Sean came to a square.
The square was covered with corpses, stretching to the end.
Under the white cloth covering the body, the dark hands and feet of the deceased were exposed.
The huge rat is still gnawing on the necrotic black fingers...
"The Black Death?"
"The disaster caused by the Philosopher's Stone turned out to be the Black Death..."
Sean recalled the horrific plague that broke out in Europe in the fourteenth century as recorded in history books.
The Black Death killed one-third of the European population.
“The misuse of the Philosopher’s Stone caused the Black Death to return in the Apennines in the sixteenth century…
"But why didn't it sweep across the entire continent this time...
"Only tens of thousands of people died in the Apennines?"
In the square, the bird-beaked doctors were directing the living people to throw the blackened corpses into the temporary large earthen furnaces and burn them...
The smell of burning firewood I just smelled was actually the human body.
The terrifying sight in front of him made Sean feel powerless.
"I just touched those dirty things directly with my wounded hands..." The feeling of fever resurfaced.
"If you contract this disease..."
I can't imagine that ending.
Inside the labyrinth island, there is no difference from hell.
"No wonder... the enemies of Rabbi Lins," Sean thought after swallowing hard, "would rather die than be exiled here..."
There was some itching on the numb face, as if spider threads had been blown to the face by the wind.
Sean flicked his hand and saw a few white threads on his blood-stained palm.
White silk thread?
Sean realized something and started running with Olivia.
After a roar, the puppet group rushed out of the fog!
Hahahaha……
Countless hands and feet trampled on the corpses spread on the ground, and the bird-beaked doctor in the distance turned his head to look this way.
Sean, who was sweating all over, relied on his survival instinct to run forward.
At this time, Olivia was in a better condition than him, and her slender limbs were powerfully supporting Sean.
Sean, who has been deep into the mysterious world for such a long time, feels as if he has returned to the spiritual world of Central Avenue again...
He once again became an ordinary person helpless in the face of mystery.
No matter how far you go or how strong you become...mystery is still looking for opportunities to devour you!
After running for who knows how long, Sean and Olivia rushed into the street at the other end of the square.
At this time, Sean was already a little dizzy. He wanted to hide and rushed into a huge black church.
The Resentment Doll didn't seem to be chasing after him yet, and he was walking towards the depths of the dark church. Sean said: "Olivia, there is really nothing I can do for a while...I will use that suitcase..."
Fair arms dealer.
Sean's hand touched the A-level inheritance given to him by Arthur Merlin in the transparent stomach bag.
"I can't die here..."
The battle with Rabbi Lins is still far away, and I don’t know what kind of enemies we will encounter on the way to save Aaliyah...
Sean didn't want to waste an opportunity...
But if you die here, everything will be over.
He would not be so stupid that he would not use his trump card when disaster strikes.
Before rushing into the black church, Sean hoped to find the back door inside the church.
In this case, you can temporarily escape the pursuit of the doll.
Wait until the spiritual power is restored, even if it is only half restored...
Things would be very different.
But……
"Whenever it rains, it pours..."
When I reached the end, I saw only a cellar filled with sewage and emitting a foul odor.
There is no backdoor.
The resentful doll with white silk threads floating all over its body has already entered the church.
More than that, Sean discovered that his arrival seemed to alarm someone in the black church.
The pool of foul-smelling sewage in the cellar suddenly surged up, making a dense chirping sound like a flock of trapped birds!
"What's this?!"
Sean took two steps back and found a large, squirming mass emerging from the sewage in the cellar.
The thing was so huge that it looked like a dark cloud falling on the ground.
This dark cloud is dotted with bright little dots.
Those are pairs of eyes.
A corner of the "dark cloud" broke through the tiles on the roof of the church, and dim skylight poured down. Only then did Sean see clearly what was in front of him...
Countless rats, alive, dead, mutilated... they were squirming and huddled together...
"Rat King".
When there is a serious rat infestation in a certain city, rats that have super reproductive capabilities and like to huddle in dark corners may have their long tails entangled together for various reasons and can no longer be separated.
These rats gather more and more and are forced to act together. Even if the same kind they are linked to dies, it doesn't matter - they will become food for their companions.
Eventually, these rats formed a terrifying being that could kill large animals with countless mouths - the Rat King.
In Gaulish, the Rat King is also known as "The Rat's Spinning Wheel".
The Rat King is a symbol of plague, disaster and rat infestation...
Sean looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Countless rats surged like a fountain, piled up together, as if they had become an amorphous giant, and their squeaking sounds echoed throughout the sky...
The things in front of him were so terrifying and bizarre that they seemed like hallucinations caused by his own fever.
"This city... this city's Black Death..."
Sean's face turned sickly red, his eyes wild,
"That's it, that's what it did!"
Labyrinth Island, that is, Hell.
