Joey couldn't help but shudder, as if he could feel Erich's despair and anger before he died. He suddenly felt that the name Naomi was like an evil spell, plunging people into an abyss from which they could not extricate themselves.
He decided to escape from this place and no longer wanted to deal with those messy things.
However, at this time, the crazy look on Naomi's face stopped in front of her, and she stared at Joey with a sinister look.
Tell him in a cold voice: "Joy, you can't escape, Eric, none of you can even think of leaving me."
Joey looked at her solemnly, with a dangerous light shining in his black eyes. He leaned close to Naomi's ear and said softly: "How about you! Look in the mirror and see what you look like now."
The basement is well-stocked, probably due to ritual magic, and Joey also found several potions he needed.
Naomi stood in front of a mirror, looking at the face that didn't belong to her at all, and she froze on the spot.
"Why is this happening?" she said to herself somewhere.
Joey sighed and said with a heavy heart: "You shouldn't believe them. The Necromancer Cult is just a bunch of lunatics."
"Crazy?" Naomi's expression instantly became ferocious, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Did they lie to me?"
"That's true." Joey nodded.
Naomi seemed to have lost the mood to continue talking. In the surrounding air, apart from the smell of candle wax, there was also her low sobs.
In this atmosphere, after a few minutes, the 'Erich' existing in Naomi's body seemed to have taken control of the body again.
He caressed every inch of the body, then dug deep into it with his nails, trying to scratch the body to pieces.
Joey was too lazy to pay attention to the crazy 'Naomi' and began to carefully collect the potion ingredients in the basement.
Many of these things on the market are priced but not available. He thought with expectation: "I don't know if there will be antennae worms here."
The Sequence 8 Transporter's potion recipe has three main ingredients, two of which have been obtained from Clyde Phoenix. The only missing ingredient is the antenna worm, which I have been searching for to no avail.
In the far corner, there is a jar half as tall as a man, which looks like a treasure.
Joey walked over and opened the seal without hesitation. Before he had time to look inside, a person's head popped out the moment the seal was opened.
The man's hair was disheveled and his face could not be seen clearly. It seemed that he had been in the darkness for a long time. When he suddenly saw the light, he felt uncomfortable and hid in the jar again.
After a few minutes, Joey got tired of waiting. He felt a sudden change in his heart. He picked up a hard object at his feet and smashed it. The jar shattered.
The dark goo poured out of the jar, along with a wet woman.
After seeing his face clearly, Joey looked surprised.
If he remembered correctly, he had seen this woman, her name was 'Sarah', and she was the wife of a business tycoon in the main city.
How could she be here and sealed in a jar?
After several minutes, Sarah got up from the ground tremblingly. She looked around with dull eyes, her eyes full of fear of the unknown.
When he saw Joey, he seemed to have seen a savior and rushed towards him excitedly.
"Help me, Mr. Creevey," she begged, her voice trembling.
Joey sighed and supported Sarah who was unsteady on her feet.
It seems that I am not the only one who is unlucky. I really want to put aside Naomi's heart and see if it is black.
"It's okay, Mrs. Sarah, can you tell me what happened?"
She raised her eyes and glanced at Naomi, who was still talking to herself not far away. Perhaps she had found her backbone, and the fear in her heart weakened a bit. Her lips trembled and she said:
"Actually, Naomi was not like this at the beginning. He and Eric were an enviable couple."
"I don't know when she started to become neurotic and began to suspect that Erich was having an affair, and even suspected that Erich and I were having an affair in private. She kept following Erich and me, and tried to break into my house to look for evidence. Even if I finally asked her to search and no evidence was found, she still didn’t believe it.”
"Not only did she doubt me, but any woman who was close to Erich was the object of her suspicion. She was crazy, a complete lunatic. She forced Erich to death, and she blamed all of that on me. Imprison me here"
"She even began to worship the fallen evil god, trying to get the method to resurrect Erich from him."
"Fortunately, you finally found this place, Mr. Creevey, please, just let me out."
Sarah knew Joey and knew him as a Sheriff's Department officer, which was why she approached Joey as soon as she regained her senses.
"The sun will bless you, Lady Sarah."
He made a church blessing gesture, and made a fist with his right hand and gently clasped it on his heart.
Sarah seemed to have found someone to talk to, venting her grievances.
In fact, he can understand the other person's emotions to some extent. Being targeted by a neurotic like Naomi is a completely unreasonable disaster. Anyone who falls on it will feel aggrieved.
In the words of her previous life, she was an extremely insecure woman, and only through mental control could she calm down her suspicions.
Joey held Sarah with one hand and asked her to go further away, and then cautiously approached 'Naomi'.
He stared at 'Naomi' without blinking, holding the wooden stick he picked up from the ground in his hand.
Prepare for a surprise and knock the opponent unconscious first.
When he was only half a meter away from the target, Joey raised the wooden stick high and gestured to take action.
Naomi's head suddenly turned at an incredible angle. It was not a twisting angle that normal people could bear. You could even see that the skin on her neck was being stretched and deformed.
"Eric, I knew I would not fail. You are really back."
The gentle and beautiful female voice made Joey stunned for a moment, as if everything was back to the scene when he first met Naomi Jeff. Her voice is gentle, polite and elegant.
Joey took half a step back and stared at Naomi's face solemnly.
Until now, he finally knew the reason why Naomi had been obsessed with him. Eric Jeff's face did indeed resemble his.
"Eric, didn't you say you would love me forever? How could you die?" Her voice gradually changed from gentle to rough, and finally turned into a man's voice: "How dare you die?"
Sarah, who was hiding in the corner, was frightened by this sudden change and screamed repeatedly.
"Ah! Monster, monster"
Halfway through her scream, it was as if someone had choked her throat, turning into a weird sound of "gurgling".
Her face began to turn pale, and the pupils in her eyes were out of focus, as if she was drowning and suffocating.
Sarah struggled desperately, pulling her jaw with one hand, and reaching into her throat with the other hand, as if she wanted to take something out.
Joey hurriedly ran over and patted her back. Finally, Sarah vomited the sticky substance all over the floor, which was also mixed with red blood clots.
This thing again?
Joey always felt that there was something fishy in this, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
Maybe all the questions lie in Naomi's sacrifice ceremony.
Joey's expression became very solemn, and his heart sank to the bottom.
He was about to examine Sarah's body carefully when he suddenly saw a pool of water stains appearing under her legs, and the number was getting larger and larger.
This water was always left from Sarah's body. It was thick, dark red, and accompanied by an indescribable smell.
At this moment, Sarah's hoarse voice sounded: "Mr. Creevey, my stomach hurts so much. Where have you been? Why can't I see you?" She raised her head, her pupils were pitch black, and there were no whites at all.
Joey found that Sarah's body he was holding was getting lighter and lighter, as if she had lost the support of her bones, and her limp body was sliding towards the ground little by little.
This is probably the price of ritual magic. In the final analysis, she is just an innocent person implicated by Naomi's suspicion.
The unhappiness in his heart was suppressed to the extreme. He spoke in a slow tone, trying to keep himself calm:
"It's okay, it's just that the candle in the basement went out."
Sarah, who was originally struggling, stabilized a lot after hearing these words. She tried to reach out to grab something, and murmured: "Mr. Creevey, can you turn on the light for me... .”
Without waiting for Joey to respond, she raised her hand and lowered it softly. Her pupil-less eyes were wide open, as if she wanted to search for the glimmer of light in the darkness.
Sarah slipped from Joey's arms to the ground, her body gradually became transparent, and finally turned into a pool of viscous liquid, like blood clots after refrigeration.
These blood clots wriggled on the ground and slowly crawled down toward the door, finally blending into it.
Joey saw everything in his eyes and felt a tightness in his chest, and the depression was hard to get rid of.
His tone suddenly turned cold: "Naomi, look what you have done!"
He obviously promised Sarah that he would rescue her.
The result was that he could only watch her die.
This feeling made Joey very uncomfortable.
Sarah was still very famous in the inner city. She did not have the arrogance of a noble. She would donate money and actively participate in activities to help civilians. Such a kind person died just because of Naomi's suspicion. Yeah, that's unfair.
Naomi's body also changed little by little, and large areas of blood began to ooze from her feet.
She raised her voice, sometimes it was a rough male voice, sometimes it was a shy female voice.
Boy: "Madman, you are a complete madman"
Female voice: "Eric, I can feel your presence, you are in my body, and we will be together forever."
Female voice: "I'm not wrong. She deserves to die. Why should everyone look at her? Why should flowers and applause surround her? She stole the eyes of Eric that should be looking at me. She deserves it."
Boy: "Kill me, quickly, kill me, I don't want to be with this woman"
Naomi's body began to melt, her feet, then her chest, and finally only her head remained.
Her eyes were full of fear, and she wanted to scream, but her throat seemed to be sealed by cement, and she could only gasp weakly. She watched her body gradually disappear, and an indescribable despair filled her heart.
Suddenly, a pulling force appeared, slowly pulling her towards the door.
After Naomi's heart-rending scream, the entire basement fell into silence.
"Um?"
Joey looked around with a dull expression. It was empty. There was no living thing except him.
He had the feeling of being in a fog, with questions on his forehead.
How did it end?
And me?
How am I still here?
It was as if all dangers had bypassed him and avoided him automatically.
Whatever is unreasonable must have a reason.
Joey closed his eyes, calmed down for a few seconds, and then slowly said:
"Above the ashes, a spark ignites"
"Coming back and forth in the torrent of history"
"The hermit who returns from the past"
. . . .
When he opened his eyes again, a yellowed, ancient book page floated quietly in front of him.
"Great Master, your most loyal servant, the Book of Ebola greets you"
Joey looked at the open door and asked doubtfully:
"Do you know him? How to turn him on?"
"Oh! Yes, my master, I know him, old friend, long time no see, hello, how are you?"
The open door suddenly closed. On the closed door panel, there were two eyes on the left and right, like door knockers.
He opened his eyes and seemed to be looking at 0-013 curiously. His eyelids were lowered, as if conveying an emotion of disgust and rejection.
On the door, those beautifully carved runes squirmed and finally formed a line of words.
"We just met, just yesterday."
Looking at those words, Joey was confused at first, and then suddenly realized that what he was talking about should be the original body of 0-013.
Have they actually seen it?
Joey began to speculate on the connection.
After the Necromancer Cult took away 0-013, they actually found 0-09? What do they want to do?
"You guys know each other, can you let him open the way out?"
0-013 I haven’t had time to write the text yet.
A line of words appeared on the door:
"I'm happy to serve you, just walk in and walk out"
Then, the closed door opened again. This time, it was no longer a dark void, but a street. Joey could even see a group of patrolling Knights soldiers passing by on horseback.
"Huh?" Joey frowned, frowning and looking at the door on the wall with a critical eye.
From the basement of the Sheriff's Department, he had felt that there was something wrong with the Gate of the Abyss, and now his feeling was even more confirmed.
Is this reasonable?
0-013, his attitude towards him is also unreasonable?
Joey rubbed his swollen head and was not in a hurry to go out. He asked 0-09 why he treated him in such an attitude. Obviously, this is a question that cannot be answered, and 0-013 is a good example.
The only thing that can be suspected is that he seems to have some unknown involvement with these sealed objects. This kind of thing may only be pursued after the sequence is high.
Level 0 sealed objects, when out of control, can even affect demigods and even angels. He is not arrogant enough to involve himself in the secrets of higher sequences as a low-ranking person of sequence nine. That is no different than seeking death.
"Let's deduce the past of Naomi, Sarah, and Eric."
"Okay, my lord, I love sharing stories best"
