Liao Ji knew the way to Yilin's house, but there was nothing he could do about the locked door in front of him. After all, his relationship with the girl was not good enough for Yilin to give him the keys to the house.
In response, Liao Ji said sorry to Yi Lin from the bottom of his heart and asked the nun next to him to stay away.
Maria didn't speak the whole time. She just stood in the corridor at the back, silently watching the young man's actions. It wasn't until Liao Ji violently kicked the door open without using the key that a sweet smile appeared on the nun's face.
Of course it passed by in a flash.
"Come in." Liao Ji did not look back at Maria, but waved to the back, and then took the lead in entering the room.
"Excuse me for disturbing you..."
After Maria followed, she used a soft and weak voice to greet her even if there was no one in the room, fully embodying the character of a very polite but a little shy little nun.
But in fact, she quickly scanned Irene's home. Although she could guess more or less from the location, Maria couldn't help but frown inwardly.
The small space of thirty to forty square meters was packed with all kinds of old furniture, and the space was extremely small. In her opinion, there was not even a place to stay.
The heavy rain outside was beating against the old windows. The strong wind mixed with the rainwater made the rusty window frames make an unbearable sound of "squeaking", as if they would loosen at any time, but in fact they had already. There are cracks, and you can see that the floor under the window eaves has leaked a lot of water.
The only thing that makes Maria able to hold back and not explode is that the room is relatively clean. At least there are no oil stains in the kitchen. The furniture is old but there is very little dust, and the daily garbage is packed in bags and disposed of. , so that there is no peculiar smell in the room.
Can...
Why! ?
You can imagine what kind of people live in such a shabby place. Why can even such people get the "contract" brand of Lord Ashes? Why...why! How does she deserve it? How dare you use her dirty and inferior body to tarnish such a noble and noble contract...her...her! !
The nun's hands hidden in her sleeves clenched tightly, and her eyes gradually began to turn red uncontrollably. It wasn't until the young man's voice sounded in her ears that she pulled her back.
"The conditions are a bit rough. You can just find a place to sit."
"No...it's okay, it's already very good here!" Maria waved her hands repeatedly, expressing her contentment.
"I'll go to the back room to find you some divination medium. You...have nothing to do. Look around for towels and the like, and dry yourself first."
"okay..."
After a while, Liao Ji walked out of the back room and came to Maria with a large box of things in his arms.
After picking and choosing, the nun finally selected three or four pieces as the medium for the next divination.
Liao Ji glanced at the things Maria had picked out. Without exception, they were all things that Erin had used before, and the time points were very close. There were scavenger clothes that were just changed out this afternoon, and there were kobold statues that had expired. And...the dagger that once "held" him hostage.
As a middleman, Yilin is the reason why she will rescue Nolan. From the perspective of a divination medium, she is indeed better than her mother herself. Moreover, Liao Ji deliberately carried a large box, and actually wanted to test Maria. means, and judging from the nun's current performance, being able to accurately pick out these items has at least passed the first hurdle in Liao Ji's heart.
"Well, there is still one last thing left, but this one... is a bit special..."
"What is it?"
"Sir, your... blood."
Maria spoke apologetically, and when she saw Liao Ji frowning, she quickly explained:
"You, if you mind, you can replace it with something else, but... the result will be a little incomplete..."
"It's okay, wait a moment."
Liao Ji interrupted Maria, and without further ado, he directly put his finger to his mouth, bit it hard, and bright red blood flowed from the fingertip.
"Then, should I find a bowl to put it in or something?"
"Maria...Maria?"
Liao Ji, who had bitten his finger, asked the nun opposite, but Maria seemed not to have expected the young man's movements to be so sudden and fast, and fell into a daze.
Her eyes were fixed on Liao Ji's bleeding fingertips, as if she was a little distracted. It wasn't until Liao Ji screamed several times that she suddenly woke up.
"Hug...sorry!"
"Don't put it in the bowl! Use this! You... just drop blood on it!"
As Liao Ji's blood flowed out, Maria looked very panicked. While she apologized repeatedly for being distracted, she took out a handkerchief from her arms.
A pure white, clean handkerchief, even with silver patterns on the corners, giving it an extremely holy look.
The nun was all wet from the rain.
But the handkerchief in his arms showed no signs of being stained by rain. Although Liao Ji was a little strange, he could tell that this handkerchief was probably very important, so he protected it better and didn't ask any questions.
He hovered his fingers above the handkerchief and squeezed it a few times. The bright red blood drops fell vertically, quickly dyeing the pure white handkerchief underneath with bright red in the center.
Gudong...
Maria's throat moved quietly.
In the boots under her feet, the ten toes were already firmly grasping the ground, as if they were using this method to endure some great stimulation.
One drop...two drops...five drops...
"Enough...enough sir!"
Maria stopped Liao Ji with a voice that was raised several decibels. She was afraid that even if the young man dripped a few more drops, she would not be able to bear it anymore. The five drops of blood now were already the limit for her.
"Then what else is needed..."
"Just leave the rest to me. You, please wait a moment." Maria seemed more anxious than Liao Ji.
Little bits of holy light began to bloom from the nun's hands, wrapping all the media items. Then Maria closed her eyes, as if she had entered a divination state.
The whole process was much faster than Liao Ji imagined.
I'm afraid it took less than half a minute?
When the holy light faded away, the nun was revealed, panting heavily, the hair on her forehead was sticky with sweat, and her chest was rising and falling violently. Although the time was short, Maria looked like she had spent a lot of energy.
She was shaky and had difficulty standing still. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Liao Ji next to her had quick eyesight and quick hands, and helped Maria. Unfortunately, the nun didn't seem to have the strength to stand upright, so she could only fall softly into the young man's arms.
"I found...she was...underground in the church...I saw a lot of...dangerous monsters around her...she...she hid...in a safe place... The corner...was not discovered by...the monsters..."
"But... her condition... is very bad... she doesn't want... to become a monster... she is still resisting... and cannot be... stimulated..."
"There are also... in the very center of the underground... two floating... emblems... brown-red mist... filling the air... we need to weaken them first... before... we can... .”
Maria's voice became smaller and smaller at the end, and then she tilted her head and fainted in Liao Ji's arms.
This made the young man feel a little dizzy.
Why is there another "lying" person?
He did not suspect that Maria was faking it.
After all, you said that you can still fake the tired and weak expression on your face, but it is too difficult to fake the physical panting and limpness.
What's more, the object of Maria's divination also involves the level of "the emperor's relics", which is indeed a bit beyond the scope for people five hundred years later.
My mind went back to the nun's divination result just now.
From the words "church", "underground", "monster", and even "heraldry" in Maria's mouth, Liao Ji had no reason to doubt the authenticity of the other party's "divination" ability.
According to the information given by the nun, although it was intermittent and vague, Liao Ji could probably summarize a lot.
First of all, it seems that the biggest danger to Erin's mother is not from the outside world, but from herself.
If compared to Kaleva's factory, the church's underground space should be like a large petri dish. If he broke in rashly, and based on the violent reaction of the [evil source of evil] in the factory at that time, he would probably release a large amount of evil in an instant. , causing the environment inside the "Petri dish" to suddenly change.
And Yilin's mother was already on the verge of going berserk, and if she suddenly received such a strong stimulus, she might directly mutate. This should be the reason why Maria stopped her, the so-called "unfortunate future".
Um...
This was indeed something he didn't think carefully about.
The way to deal with it seemed that either he would not end it personally, or, as Maria said in the last sentence, find a way to weaken the "relic" so that the "relic" would not be so excited about him.
But no matter which method is used, there is definitely no chance tonight, and they can only wait until Yilin and Maria wake up the next day.
In this case...
call!
Liao Ji, who had been vomiting for a long time, began to feel sleepy once he relaxed. He was not a superman. Who would have thought that half a day ago, he was still a dead man sitting in front of the computer screen. As a result, half a day later, It becomes the focus vortex in the black cave.
After all the fuss, it was almost three o'clock in the morning. Since I decided not to take action, I took the time to rest.
Go to sleep!
Liao Ji carried the unconscious Maria in his arms and came to Yilin's room. He threw the little nun on the bed, took off his boots and coat, covered her with a quilt, closed the door and left.
It is worth mentioning that even though the nun had fallen asleep, her fingers were still holding on to his clothes. It took Liao Ji several attempts to finally get Maria down.
As for Liao Ji himself, he hesitated whether to go to Yilin's mother, Nolan's room, but after thinking about it, he finally chose to find a blanket and spend the night on the broken sofa in the living room.
Finally, at three o'clock in the morning, the room returned to the darkness and silence it deserved.
If anything, there was only the sound of rain outside the window, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, because only in this way could some strange sounds be covered up under the sound of rain.
In Erin's room.
Maria, who was supposed to be covered with a quilt, with only her little head exposed, was sitting upright now.
In fact, Liao Ji was right.
The expression of exhaustion and weakness could indeed be faked, and now the nun's face was completely devoid of it, but the panting and limp...
"Ha... Lord Ashes... help me... change my clothes... Lord Ashes... Huchi..."
Mashutia gasped.
She recalled how the young man's hands had just passed across her body, helping her take off her boots and jacket. There would inevitably be some skin-to-skin contact in the process, but Lord Ashes was still so gentle... Sxiutia couldn't imagine how she felt at that time. How much willpower did it take to keep her in a state of false sleep?
In fact, this next step was not included in Sxiutia's plan because it was more risky, but...she really couldn't help it.
From the time when she and Lord Ashes held the same umbrella, from the time Lord Ashes picked her up, from the time Lord Ashes changed her clothes and covered her with a quilt, from...
She had wanted to do this ever since Master Ash bit his finger and blood dripped on the handkerchief.
Scutia carefully took out a blood-stained handkerchief from her arms. The nun in the darkness stretched out the tip of her small tongue and gently licked the bright red color on the holy handkerchief as if she were tasting forbidden fruit. .
However, this alone was not enough to satisfy Sxiutia. Next, she quickly put the entire handkerchief on her face and pointed the blood stain at the tip of her white nose.
Scutia took a deep breath, and the aroma of the Emperor's blood hit her nose. She was addicted to it, and an unparalleled sense of stimulation rushed into her mind. In this world, there should be no better "catalyst" than this.
She buried her head deeply in the handkerchief. The nun's body kept twisting and turning, and at the same time she uttered something vague like a confession or something else...
"I'm sorry... Lord Ashes... forgive Sshutia... forgive me... for being so blasphemous... but... I really..."
"No... no no... Lord Ashes, you didn't wait for Sshutia first. It was you who... gave the contract to others first..."
"This is compensation...you are going to compensate Ssiutia..."
Scutia seems to understand a little bit, those "them" who were shameless five hundred years ago and used pieces of equipment that were originally hers and were originally given to her by Lord Ashes!
Because this feeling of robbing other people's things... is really addictive... even if it is sinful... unforgivable...
The turbulent red mist spread out at some point, turning Yilin's bedroom into a cloud of smoke.
Under the brown-red light and shadow, there was a strange hazy feeling, and the nun's eyes of Sshutiya lying on the bed were already filled with madness and hunger.
"Let's use this tonight..." She clutched the blood-stained handkerchief and murmured happily.
