The night in the small town is cold and quiet, with a lone moon hanging high.
There are still wet traces of water in the gaps on the cold stone road.
Fu Qinghai was walking alone on this wet and cold stone road. A breeze ruffled his black hair, and black clouds covered the moon.
Fu Qinghai, who was walking dully, felt something. He looked up and saw a person standing not far ahead.
The breeze also blew up her black wavy hair, revealing a delicate and pretty face.
"Chen Xue..." Fu Qinghai was slightly startled and asked:
"Have you also come to this copy world of the Soul Conjuring Universe?"
Not far away, the tall and slender lady stood alone in the middle of the road, showing Fu Qinghai's familiar smiling expression.
Suddenly there was a "bang" sound, and Chen Xue turned into a pink demon with a big mouth with stacked sharp teeth, waving slender appendages, and shouted:
"I'm not Chen Xue, I'm the Pink Fear Demon!"
"Your mother..."
Fu Qinghai suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up.
He looked around at the familiar beds and wooden furniture, the familiar small attic room and curtains.
It turned out to be a dream.
Fu Qinghai took a breath.
I feel like I'm a little crazy.
Fu Qinghai sat on the bed with a thin quilt covering his legs.
wrong……
Fu Qinghai, who woke up from his dream and regained some rational thinking, frowned.
I am an Astartes and I am not supposed to dream.
An organ called a "rigid node" was implanted in the back of Astarte's head, which can regulate sleep independently. Once he falls asleep, he will be in deep sleep and will not dream at all.
Whenever the Astartes Legion think tank has a dream, they will regard the scene in the dream as a kind of psychic prophecy or psychic warning.
The only time Fu Qinghai had a dream since he became an Astartes was when an unknown psychic entity invaded his mind while the Gladius was sailing in the subspace.
So, by analogy with the last dream... Fu Qinghai thought about his last dream and had some bad premonitions in his heart.
The task of reincarnating the world this time may not be that simple.
Fu Qinghai got up, dressed and washed.
After Rusfan's cellar symposium yesterday, according to Sir's request, everyone gathered at the entrance of the town early today and headed to a place called Biertan Village.
Any action in a horror movie should be avoided at night.
No one needs to teach you this, it is the consensus of all reincarnations.
So the departure time was set very early.
Fu Qinghai put the tile steel sword on his back and went downstairs.
It was still dark, so Fu Qinghai stepped onto the stone road in the town. When he looked up, he saw that the clouds had dissipated and it was a rare sunny day.
Fu Qinghai came to the entrance of the agreed town, where seven or eight people were already standing in twos and threes.
These people are dressed just like the locals.
Fu Qinghai walked over and saw a woman with black clothes and black hair surrounded by several reincarnations.
The sound reached Fu Qinghai's ears.
"Hey, isn't this Zhang Yuning? Isn't he unwilling to join us? Why is he here again now?"
"That's right, why did we get together again when we were setting off?"
"You pretend to be the most noble person. If you want to be a lone ranger, don't mess with our team."
Fu Qinghai leaned over and took a look. It was a girl with long black hair and straight hair. She was surrounded by several reincarnations who had appeared in the cellar last night.
This woman looks tall and slender. Under the black princess-cut bangs is a cold, world-weary face. She has three white eyes, plump lips, a straight nose bridge, deep eyes, and seems to have deep eyeliner. She looks no older than her age. He is in his twenties, but his temperament seems gloomy and mature.
The woman surrounded by four men raised her eyes and scanned the surrounding reincarnations, and said coldly:
"I didn't say I wanted to go with you, go your own way, and don't bother me."
Hearing this, a man said angrily:
"Tsk, tsk, you said you won't be with us, but your body is very honest. Come here early in the morning and wait. Don't you just want to follow us to the monastery?"
"That's it. I want to follow the others, but I don't want to accept Sir Ruthven's command, so I just have the shamelessness to do it. I really have you."
Fu Qinghai, who was standing outside, understood.
This dungeon world does not distinguish between camps. Under the call of senior reincarnationist Ru Sifan, many reincarnations chose to join a group to keep warm. This is also the instinctive reaction in the bones of social animals when facing unknown terrors, and this cold young lady It seemed that he had rejected Rusfan's invitation and was unwilling to be with this group of people, but he appeared here again at this moment.
So the reincarnations thought that this was a tough-talking person who came to take advantage of the team's protection.
Fu Qinghai didn't bother to care about these bullshit things. He turned around after hearing what he understood. He was now more concerned about what Ru Sifan's plan was. Ru Sifan immediately judged that this was the Soul Conjuring Universe, which was obviously a violation of the plot. Understood.
As for that woman...if others want to follow, just follow. You didn't build the road, so you won't lose any weight by letting others follow you.
Fu Qinghai curled his lips in disdain. The four men had been pestering the young woman for a long time. To be honest, it was not because the woman wanted to follow them.
It’s not just because I want to take advantage of a woman’s beauty to mop up some oil.
Hearing the name Zhang Yuning, he should be Chinese. Fu Qinghai turned his head and took a look, and found that these men looked eager to try, but also a little afraid.
"Get away!"
The woman scolded and looked at the man behind her who was planning to do something.
Fu Qinghai, who was standing aside with his arms folded, was a little overwhelmed and said:
"Hey, it's almost done."
One of the lean men turned around, looked Fu Qinghai up and down, narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Are you lecturing me? Nosy boy."
Fu Qinghai nodded: "Yes."
The lean man pulled out a pistol from his waist, held it in his hand, pointed it at Fu Qinghai and said:
"I know you, the guy with enhanced muscle strength, killed a few local farmers to make you feel strong? You can come and try with me to see whether it is my bullets that are stronger or your muscles."
Fu Qinghai also narrowed his eyes, looking at the lean man who drew his gun whenever he disagreed, and the pistol he pointed at him.
This is a Browning M1911, a very classic pistol with quite a lot of power.
The hand holding the gun is also very stable, without the fancy gun-holding movements of gang members.
The body of the Astartes is not invulnerable. The defense mainly comes from the power armor. If it were in the Warhammer 40K universe, Fu Qinghai would not even look at this person and this gun, even if he took one without protection. A .45 caliber pistol bullet would not cause fatal damage to the Astartes' body.
But this is an A-level spiritual universe, and Fu Qinghai doesn't know to what extent his biochemically modified body has been suppressed.
The gun is fast from seven steps away, and the gun is accurate and fast within seven steps.
The words were true, but they did not apply to Astartes. Now that the distance between the two was less than two meters, Fu Qinghai was confident that he could punch him to death before he shot.
Fu Qinghai's only concern is...will his assimilation points be deducted if he beats him to death?
Just when Fu Qinghai was getting murderous... a gloomy voice interrupted the confrontation between the two.
"Calm down, you two."
Rusfan finally arrived belatedly. This sinister man was covered in a dark cloak today, seeming to be avoiding the sun.
Rusfan clearly saw the situation at a glance and said:
"Gentlemen, there is no need. We all belong to the same camp. You can't get assimilation points by killing each other. Why go to war?"
The lean man snorted coldly and put away the M1911 pistol in his hand.
Fu Qinghai seemed calm and relaxed, his body motionless.
If Rusfan hadn't arrived just in time, this lean man would have been decapitated by now.
Rusfan turned his head to look at the black-haired woman, sighed, and said:
"Miss Zhang Yuning, I have heard about you. You are the only reincarnator to come back alive from the Grudge Universe. You should have joined my team. This will be good for everyone."
Zhang Yuning glanced at Lu Sifan lightly and said:
"No, take care of the people following you and don't ask for trouble."
After saying that, without even looking at Fu Qinghai, who offered help, he turned and walked towards the road.
Fu Qinghai looked at the woman's slender back. Although he stopped her just because he didn't like it and didn't mean anything, he was a little unhappy when he saw the woman's attitude at this time.
Indifferent to the point of being emotionless.
Lu Sifan took a deep look at Zhang Yuning's back. He was a little confused and unsure about this woman.
Doesn't appear to have any special abilities.
But she was able to come out alive from the cursed universe where countless reincarnators were buried. Among the three thousand reincarnators who entered the cursed universe together, she was the only one who came out alive.
Rusfan said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry about her, the mission is urgent. Let's go and get to Biertan Village before noon."
The reincarnations in the cellar talks also formed a loose team and walked along the road outside the town.
Rusfan, who was hiding in the shadow of his cloak, explained to the reincarnators in the team as he walked:
"Everyone, before I entered the world of reincarnation, I once watched the movie "The Nun". It probably tells the story of a senior priest and a trainee nun with psychic abilities. They were assigned by the Vatican to come to the village of Biertan. Kata Monastery, dealing with the spate of suicides of nuns here.”
Rusfan did not explain why the Vatican paid so much attention to this monastery in a remote village, but Fu Qinghai, who had a little common sense, knew:
Suicide is a very serious crime in Catholic teachings. People who commit suicide cannot go to heaven and cannot be saved by the Lord.
And nuns are people who serve God. It is very strange and serious that nuns in a monastery committed suicide one after another.
Rusfan continued:
"In fact, the essence of this monastery is a seal. The devout nuns inside pray day and night to seal a demon named Valak. During World War II, Romania belonged to the Axis camp and was successively attacked by the Allied air force. and bombing by the Soviet Air Force, the monastery was affected by Soviet aerial bombs, the demon's seal was broken, and Varak was released."
The road to Beertan Village and Santa Cata Monastery is not very close. The reincarnators need to climb over valleys and hills. There is also a carriage rental service in the town, but the reincarnators present have experienced various cruel environments. , although they may not all have special abilities, they at least have the physical strength and endurance to travel long distances.
So we all go there on foot.
The gloomy and beautiful woman named Zhang Yuning loomed behind everyone not far away.
Rusfan said slowly:
"The entire monastery and surrounding areas are the scope of activities and abilities of the demon Valak. He is imprisoned here. If he wants to leave, he must be possessed by a living person. This is why the devout nuns choose to commit suicide. If they die, Varak will not be able to leave the monastery."
"I can directly tell you the ending of the movie. I don't know where the protagonists, the priest and the trainee nun, are now, but I want to tell you that it is not difficult to seal this devil. His sealing point is hidden under a pool of water. It can seal what he needs. The prop is the blood of Jesus, and the last bottle of blood of Jesus is stored in the storage room in the monastery.”
Rusfan stepped forward, with a calm and confident tone in his voice, and said:
"Varak will definitely do everything possible to prevent us from entering the storage room to obtain the blood of Jesus, but that doesn't matter. We just need to remember that when you see a terrifying nun with no pupils and a twisted face in the monastery, that is Valak. .”
Rusfan added:
"This is because he has been suppressed by the nuns' prayers for hundreds of years, so Valak, who broke out of the seal, chose to turn into the image of a ghost nun to do evil to show ridicule to these nuns and God."
After listening to Ru Sifan's explanation, the reincarnations present were confident, and the heavy atmosphere was swept away.
For a horror movie in which justice finally defeats evil, once you know the ending of the plot and how to restrain the monsters, half the battle is basically won.
Fu Qinghai, who was mixed in the middle of the team, caught up with the leader Ru Sifan and asked:
"Sir, you just said that Valak must possess a living person before he can leave the confines of the monastery. Is this a strictly set condition? Are there any exceptions?"
Ru Sifan looked up at Fu Qinghai and explained:
"In the setting of the Conjuring Universe, all evil spirits and ghosts require the active summoning of mortals before they can come to the world. At the same time, they also need to be attached to a carrier, which may be a person or an object, but they cannot exist independently. .”
Fu Qinghai nodded, thoughtfully.
Everyone came to Beertan Village, but instead of entering the village, they walked directly to the mountain.
On the way, people passed through a grave area, where there were densely packed tombstones, and a small bell was tied in front of each tombstone.
It was noon now, the sun was just right, and everyone walked along the grassy road to the Santa Cata Monastery.
However, when Rusfan, who was originally confident and confident, stood in front of the monastery, he was stunned for a moment and stood stiffly on the spot.
The other reincarnations were also stunned, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.
In front of me, the monastery, which was originally built with piles of stones and wooden supports, was now only a mess of ruins.
No spire or bell tower, no big cross, no stained glass, little storage room or blood of Jesus.
There is only a ruin of ruins.
Rusfan's eyes were dull, his mouth was mumbling, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
The monasteries are all gone...
What about Valak?
Where is the demon Valak that everyone wants to seal?
Fu Qinghai did not fall into sluggishness and confusion like others. He quickly came to the ruins and squatted in front of a broken stone brick. He reached out and rubbed the broken powder, rubbed it between his fingers, and put it under his nose to smell it. After hearing this, he turned around and said to everyone:
"It's C4 explosive."
C4 plastic explosive is an explosive that is convenient and safe to use, powerful and easy to carry. It is a must-have for home and travel.
Rusfan was so angry that his mouth was trembling, and he said:
"Damn, damn, someone must have arrived here before us. These idiots who blindly acted without watching the movie, self-righteous idiots, they thought they could destroy the demon Valak by blowing up the monastery, but they destroyed it instead. It’s Valak’s greatest restraint!”
Fu Qinghai frowned, stood up and approached Ru Sifan and asked:
"Sir, you just said that Valak must be possessed by a living person in order to leave the monastery."
Rusfan nodded and said angrily: "Yes, Valak must have possessed someone in reincarnation and left here now. Europe is so big and the earth is so big, where should we go to find this demon!"
Rusfan's words were full of regret and anger, and the reincarnators present also expressed despair when they heard the words.
It seems that "reincarnation-1" is inevitable.
Fu Qinghai said:
"It doesn't need to be so large. In this copy world that we just arrived yesterday, even if someone arrives one step ahead of us and gets there first, they can't get there early. I analyzed the traces of the explosion at the scene. It happened not long ago. We only need to search the scene carefully. Trace the traces, find the direction in which the reincarnations left, and you can catch up with them soon."
"yes!"
"That's right, ser. We may still be able to find the demon."
Fu Qinghai's words made everyone present shine, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts. Regardless of whether they knew about reconnaissance or not, they all spread out to look for traces.
Footprints, cigarette butts, broken branches, and fresh soil have all become the clues that the reincarnations are trying to find.
Soon, everyone gathered all the clues they found and locked in a direction.
It's the road leading to Biertan Village at the foot of the mountain!
Those people, after blowing up the monastery and leaving, went to the village of Beertan.
