My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 139
"Bang", when the door was slammed shut, Nick felt his left eyelid jump sharply: "Something pushed the door hard, let's get out of the way."

He grasped the handle with both hands and danced the flail, slamming it against the door.

There was a dull banging sound, and a layer of stone foam fell off the inconspicuous door, revealing bloody lines and runes.

"It's the rune of the magic circle." Nick's hand touched the red rune and felt a strong burning sensation. It was not the feeling of being burned by flames, but more like the burning heat of corrosion.

"Is this a trap? How should we save Mr. Crown?" Del asked anxiously. He gripped the sledgehammer and smashed it against the wall near the door.

More stone foam fell off, dust filled the room, and an even more choking smell of decay polluted several people's senses of smell.

On the wall that was smashed, there were also bright red lines of the magic circle. The runes on the lines seemed to be breathing, changing from bright to dark, and then from dark to bright again, and again and again.

An undetectable ray of light circulates along the energy circuit, and the magic circle that was hit hard remains unscathed and runs smoothly, seemingly mocking the people who are working in vain.

Jason showed off his weapon and shoveled away the stone foam paint on other parts of the wall, revealing the patterns of the magic circle inside.

"The entire wall is part of the magic circle. Stop, Del, it's useless. Our attacks seem to be concentrated on one point, but they are absorbed by the entire magic circle.

What we saw when we went down to investigate should be just a superficial appearance. There must be some mechanism in the secret room that leads to other spaces. "

"But, what should I do, sir?" Del stopped his attack and asked at a loss.

Nick checked the table where the mechanism was turned on and found that the metal cylinder did not rebound.

Several people were busy for a while, but still did not open the mechanism and could not reopen the portal.

"The search will be completed soon. Let's go look for other control centers. Now Kroun can only rely on himself." Nick looked solemn. "Leave first. There is no use staying here. If you can't find any other Control the way you enter, and come back immediately to fight against this magic circle."

. . . .

Liya stretched out her hand, and her originally slender green jade fingers became like cast iron hands, and the hot temperature dispelled the cold that penetrated into the bone marrow.

"what"

A suppressed cry of despair sounded in front of her, and a few wisps of blue smoke drifted away, falling pieces of spiritual essence.

"Captain, the elemental spirit master is really easy to use. Killing evil spirits is a piece of cake," Lucas said flatteringly.

"With all due respect, it's hard for you to bear the soul-burning pain that Captain experienced when he became an elemental master."

"Mara, you look down on me," Lucas immediately became furious, "I want to fight you."

"Okay, what should we bet on?"

"Don't tease him, Mara, we are on a mission." Liya stopped the quarrel among her teammates. "Lucas, your emotional control ability needs to be improved. This kind of words can stimulate you. Wait until Yu Ling enters." It will definitely cause deeper corrosion to you. At that time, can you still maintain your inner sanity?"

"Isn't the Spirit Controller an extraordinary person who is constantly approaching death as he advances? How many comrades have we seen lose control in front of our eyes?!" Lucas' mood immediately became pessimistic, "If only I were a knight. good."

"There will always be a way. Warlocks are actively researching better countermeasures. They have found that cultivating a quiet hobby can reduce the emotional corrosion of the spirit, which is even stronger than drug control. Why don't you try more."

"His patience won't last long," Mara whispered.

The illusion of fire in Liya's eyes was blazing, and she said with hatred: "The warlocks said that after the celestial changes more than 100 years ago, corrosion was everywhere, and the knights would also be corroded and lose control. Even those of the church Priests are not immune to the risk of losing control."

"Let's go." Lorraine looked around, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said with compassion:
"Every room here has left strong resentment. Helpless girls were tortured to death and their souls were extracted. Although they became twisted demon spirits, they still could not resist the executioner who did such evil deeds. I I don’t want to stay here any longer.”

Liya hugged Lorraine with some distress. This girl was also a spirit master, but she still retained her kind nature.

"Captain, I want to be hugged too," Lucas said shyly.

"Go to hell", Liya let go of her arms and pretended to hit people with her hands.

"Let's go." Lorraine raised the oil lamp, looked at her playful teammates with a faint smile, and stepped forward to leave the room.

Suddenly, she felt the air beneath her feet, and she fell before she could even utter a exclamation.

Lorraine fell into a circular passage, and she reached out to grab the edge of the tunnel out of reflex.

"Save me." She felt as if many hands were grabbing her legs and feet and pulling them down desperately. Her arms and fingers could not resist this amazing force, and she was immediately pulled down.

All this happened too fast. By the time Liya came to her senses, there was no trace of Lorraine, leaving only an oil lamp overturned on the edge of the tunnel entrance.

"Lorraine", Liya and others exclaimed, and the tunnel entrance was completely closed.

When the three Nicks found this place, they happened to see this scene.

The priest waved his flail and hit the entrance of the tunnel. The floor shattered, revealing the lines of the magic circle.

"Help us, we must save Lorraine as soon as possible, she won't last long," Liya said anxiously.

"We also have team members who are trapped in an underground secret room. We originally wanted to work with you to find a way to save them." Nick shook his head slightly. "First, let's look for any other entrances or control centers in the remaining rooms."

. . . .

After Lorraine fell, those dragging powers disappeared.In the silent darkness, the only sound left was her rapid breathing.

Her spirit master doesn't have much combat ability, but it gives her two special abilities.

The first one is to be able to see that a space has left behind certain past fragments with extremely negative emotions in the long river of time.

Sadness, fear, and despair were the main themes of the 'special world' she saw.

The second ability is that she can see spirits directly. Unlike other extraordinary people who use their spiritual senses, these spirits can be directly captured by her eyes.

As her ability to control spirits improves, she is now able to discern the vague expressions on the faces of spirits.

When facing evil spirits, she suffered more pressure than others, but she kept it all deep in her heart.

When the group of them stepped into the hall of the castle, she saw humanoid spirits of different shapes revealed in the walls and on the dome.

Most of these spirits have mutilated and distorted expressions, seeming to retain the appearance they had during the most painful period of their lives.

Later, some spirits were hit by arrows from teammates, and she saw golden fireworks burning for a fleeting moment.

Unlike the evil spirits that were killed by the power of elements, these evil spirits that were burned to death by golden fireworks condensed their strong negative emotions into gray-black bodies and gradually became crystal clear. When death came, the evil spirits' faces were much less malicious.

Lorraine fumbled in the darkness to open her backpack and took out the emergency torch.

"thorn"

She struck a match and lit the small arm-length torch.

There was light in the dark world, and she saw blurry shadows all around her disappearing into the walls.

The fuel of the torch contains holy water, and the light it emits can bring a little deterrent to evil spirits.

A woman with half her face intact and half completely missing floated toward her, dragging a long black dress woven with rich resentment and despair, seemingly unafraid of the power of the torch.

Lorraine's breathing became more rapid, and she suddenly moved the torch in front of her.

"Sand", the long-skirted evil spirit showed a vicious sneer on its face and floated back.

Whispers arose, and more shadows poked out of the walls.

Lorraine kept turning around. The torch could only illuminate the front of her body, leaving a shadow behind her.

If she remains motionless for a long time, evil spirits will lurk behind her along the dark passages.

She turned her body again and suddenly saw that the evil spirit with a bloody face and one eye gouged out was in front of her.

"what"

The cold air full of stench spurted out from the evil spirit's mouth and hit her face.

"what"

Lorraine could no longer suppress her fear and screamed.

She held the torch in her mouth and drew her dagger from the scabbard at her waist.

Then he held a torch in one hand and a dagger in the other and rushed toward the evil spirit. The dagger was coated with evil spirit oil, which could cause certain damage to the spirit body.

Cold sweat broke out on Lorraine's back and forehead. She was scared to death, but she knew that if these evil spirits found out that she was just bluffing, they would definitely pounce on her.

The way evil spirits eat is very unique. If they are not possessed, they will choose to lie on the prey, bite the prey with invisible sharp teeth, and suck out the emotions and vitality of the living creature.

Only by attacking and truly harming the evil spirit would the enemy be able to use rat weapons and not dare to approach too closely. Only in this way could she buy enough time. She believed that the team would definitely find a way to save her.

. . . .

Crown rolled down the steps, but he quickly stopped his roll and stood up again.

The faint golden light emitted from his body provided a weak light source, allowing him to see things clearly at a certain distance in the dark.

After a brief panic, he regained his composure.

He dispersed the short-term golden light protection and re-superimposed long-term golden light protection on himself.

There was an inaudible vibration from the direction of the door. The teammates outside should have taken some action.

He climbed the steps again, raised his weapon and thrust hard at the door.

The tip of the sword slid, a string of sparks flew up, and the original door seemed to be made of extremely hard metal.

He injected the source of life into the Star Steel Sword, held the sword with both hands and tried with all his strength several times, but still could not cause damage to the door.

He stopped doing useless work and simply walked down the steps.

Crown took out a match and lit the torch.At this moment, he heard a loud laugh coming from behind, so close that it seemed to be behind his ear.

He remained unmoved. If the evil spirits wanted to attack him, they had to break through the defense of the golden body.

Facing an evil spirit that can break through his defense in an instant, it is useless no matter how cautiously he responds. If the evil spirit cannot break through his defense in an instant, he will not be very afraid no matter how many evil spirits come.

He rarely draws talismans these days, and his reserves of Sun Flame Liquid are very sufficient.

At this time, he saw the scattered chairs being picked up by invisible forces and finally assembled into a rocking chair.

Through his spiritual sense, he knew that it was the work of an evil spirit.

After the rocking chair was assembled, it began to rock rhythmically, and there was a gentle murmur.

The voice was soft, as if there was a mother sitting there putting her child to sleep.

Tables and chairs are constantly being reassembled and moved to the edges of the walls.

Footsteps sounded all around him.

At first, these sounds were subtle and then disappeared immediately after a few ringings.

After a while, all the 'evil ghost actors' were fully engaged and walked around him.

If Lorraine were here, she would definitely see all kinds of evil spirits holding hands surrounding him in the center, and the room was also filled with evil spirits.

Without exception, the faces of these evil spirits show malice and greed.

Crown sniffed the growing stench and gently fanned his nose with his hand.

The temperature continued to drop, the air he breathed out was already mist, and white frost began to form in the secret room.

In his spiritual consciousness, there were so many evil spirits that he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.He was confident of killing some evil spirits, but what if the remaining evil spirits were scared away?
In his eyes, there is an equal sign between these evil spirits and spiritual coins.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Crown threw the torch to the ground and turned his back to the torch.

At this time, he saw that the rocking chair flew to his eyes again and landed, continuing to rock.

With an evil smile on his face, Crown sat down cross-legged and put the weapon under his legs.

Then, he closed his eyes.

At the same time, he cast bullet time and began to visualize the golden light spell.

The circle of evil spirits is getting smaller and smaller, and the greed and malice on their faces is getting stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, golden light that could not be directly observed with the naked eye shot out from Croun's body and filled the entire room.

Jinhua flashed past, and heavy snow fell down in the space of the secret room, with Croun as the center, and a thick layer fell.

The outermost snowflakes are flawless white, and as you go deeper, a golden stream of light shines on the snowflakes.

When Crown opened his eyes, he clearly saw white shadows bowing to him in the air and then dissipating.

"Haha, I really want more of such evil spirits."

Immediately afterwards, it was time to clean up.What made him a little uncomfortable was that there was a lot of dust in the secret room.

. . . .

Crown sat comfortably in the rocking chair, holding a torch in one hand and weighing the gray leather bag in his hand.

The smile on his face could no longer be hidden, and his skin was filled with high-quality spiritual essence.

Now he is not in a hurry to go out and wait for another evil spirit to come to his door.

The amount of spirit coins harvested this time was only slightly less than the evil creature that had turned into flesh and blood. He expected that he would be able to earn at least fifty or sixty spirit coins.

He summoned a golden wall and checked his skills.He once imagined the golden light spell outside the church, and after killing the collective of evil thoughts, his proficiency in the golden light spell increased a lot.

[Golden Light Spell: 45678/50000; Level [-]]

Increased proficiency by more than 400 points, comfortable!
With so much proficiency, it would take him nearly a month to obtain the Golden Light Spell of the Liver.

Croun crossed his legs on the rocking chair and thought to himself: 'Could it be that there is also a theory of merit in this world? Otherwise, how could the purification of evil spirits have such feedback? '

He waited for more than ten minutes, but no more evil spirits came.

He had to stand up and look for another possible exit.

It would be difficult to gain anything else. His teammates outside were probably very worried. Besides, he didn't have the courage to stay here at night.

He picked up his weapon and banged on the wall, trying to find some mechanism.

After a while, Crown stopped. He seemed to hear something sound nearby. He was sure it was not from those evil spirits.

Because although the tone of this voice was distorted and full of panic, helplessness and fear, it was not malicious.

He listened carefully, and the voice still sounded intermittently and vaguely.

Finally he stopped at a wall and put his ear against it.

"what"

There was indeed a woman's voice.

"boom"

He heard a clearer sound in his ears, and something hit the wall next to his ears heavily.

. . . .

Lorraine's eyes were dim with tears. She could no longer hold on. The evil spirits had noticed her weakness and surrounded her one after another.

There are evil spirits floating in the air with their tongues hanging out, and they must have been hanged; on the ground, there are evil spirits crawling with their hands and feet severed and dead.

Evil spirits are not affected by physical rules. Although they can all float in the air, some are crawling on the ground.

She understood that this was the evil spirit that wanted to cause more psychological impact on her and ignite her emotions of fear and despair.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid"

Lorraine muttered to cheer herself up, but her body was shaking uncontrollably.

"I don't want to die here," her voice was filled with tears.

"Bang, bang, bang"

She felt the wall behind her constantly vibrating, and there were rapid and regular knocking sounds.

Lorraine, who was already desperate, had hope of survival again: "Captain, is it you?"

The evil spirit was getting closer to her.

"Bang", the gravel shattered and flew towards the face of the evil spirit in black dress, penetrating through its head, and the broad sword tip passed through the wall.

. . . .

"Bah", Crown pulled his weapon out from the crack in the wall.

He didn't expect that his star steel sword would one day be used as a pickaxe.

Smashing the wall with a sharp weapon was too inefficient. If he had used a sledgehammer, he would have been able to penetrate the wall long ago.

After he felt it piercing the wall, he also estimated the thickness of the wall.

Crown found a piece of animal skin to wrap around his fist, and then used the giant bear breathing technique to concentrate the life source on his arm.

Feeling the intense concentration of power, his arms and palms grew thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a daze, a cartoon image of Popeye flashed in his mind.

"Haha", Crown smiled, then raised his fist and hammered hard on the edge of the pierced wall hole.

"Eighty, eighty," he muttered.

In a few moments, half of the wall was broken by his hammer and fell down with a crash.

In the smoke, Kroun walked out in disgrace.

"Be careful, evil spirits are coming!"

Along with the woman's exclamation, a red half-moon sword light shined.

Horizontal chop, diagonal chop, horizontal chop.

Kroun took one step forward and made three movements. Suddenly, green smoke billowed and pieces of gray-white spiritual essence fell.

When he stepped forward again, all the evil spirits wailed upwards and disappeared into the ceiling.

Lorraine couldn't help but froze when she saw the viciousness on the evil spirit's face turning into fear and running away.

Is this the end?So easy?
"Hmm," Crown coughed twice and asked sideways, "Ms. Lorraine, are you okay? Why are you down there?"

"Uh," Lorraine retracted her messy thoughts and replied, "I fell into a trap and fell from above. Mr. Crown, why did you appear below?"

"Hehe, I fell into a trap too." Kroun stepped forward to collect the scattered spiritual flowers on the ground. "I took all these things away. Do you mind?"

Luo Lin saw that the other party had already put the spirit into the skin and smiled bitterly: "Of course not, they are all your trophies, not to mention you saved me."

Could it be that if I said you mind, you would share it with me? !
After Kroun put away all the spirit essences, he felt the time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

There wasn't much time left for them. It was best to leave before the sun set. He didn't want to stay here all night.

He turned around and asked: "Ms. Lorraine, do you have any idea about how to get out?"

The woman shook her head: "I have been surrounded by evil spirits and have no time to think about this."

"Well, I think there should be a mechanism in the secret room that can open the door to the passage. Why don't we look for it."

"Ah."

The two held up torches and looked for possible mechanisms together.

. . . .

After Nick and Liya's team separated, they returned to the door of the secret room.

They couldn't find another mechanism to open the portal, so they had to use the stupidest method to destroy the magic circle.

The three people took turns to go into battle, constantly bombarding the nodes of the magic circle.

On the other side, Liya and the other three were doing the same thing facing the magic circle on the ground.

"Bang", Del hit the node of the magic circle hard. The red light on it flickered and lost its luster. Several nearby runes also dimmed and lost their luster.

"It seems like it's almost done." Nick, who was resting next to him, was overjoyed. He put his pocket watch back into his underwear pocket and said, "Let me do it."

It was already 04:30, and he was just thinking that if he couldn't break the mechanism at five o'clock, he might have to leave first.

But can the remaining teammates wait until their rescue the next day?He vaguely had an answer in his mind.There is a high probability that it is impossible.

Now, with the dawn of victory appearing, he no longer has to make the difficult choice of leaving his teammates behind.

Nick clenched the shackles with both hands and slammed the magic circle nodes hard. In less than a minute, the magic circle on the secret door dimmed, and the magic circle revealed on the entire wall also lost its color.

"Bang", another blow, and a big hole was broken in the door.

"bang, bang"

Nick smashed all the secret doors three times, five times and two times. Then he took the oil lamp from Jason's hand and shouted at the top of his voice: "Crown! Crown!"

. . . .

The two of them searched the ground carefully, not sparing even an inch.

He felt the time, 04:30 pm.

Although he remained calm and calm on the outside, he began to become anxious on the inside.In just over an hour, the sun will set.

Time waits for no one, but there is nothing they can do now.

"Listen to the sound over there," Crown said, pointing to the door on the steps. "That's the door I fell from."

"Yes, I heard it too. It seemed like someone smashed the wall. Our teammates came to save us." Lorraine smiled and cried.

　There is another one, probably at midnight.No more waiting
