My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 207 Shelter Area

At the door of the Nightingale Tavern, Buster was squatting on the steps, eyes closed, facing the sun proudly.

Liya stood beside him uneasily, and Lucas disappeared. No one who went out to look for him found any trace of him, as if this big living person disappeared out of thin air.

As the team leader, she was at fault for oversight because it is the team leader's duty to pay close attention to the mental state of the team members.

She had obviously noticed strange changes in her teammates in the past few days, but she did not pay enough attention to them.

Lorraine understood what the captain was thinking and gently patted her back to comfort her:

"Lucas' behavior doesn't look like he's suffering from serious pollution at all. We both think it's the normal emotional ups and downs of a spirit master."

She brought up another topic to divert her friend's attention:

"Hey, I really don't know how Mr. Croun has progressed. He has become a third-level transcendent after not seeing you for a few months.

My dream is to become a third-level spirit master and become a person as powerful as Lisa. "

Liya's attention was indeed diverted, with a doting smile on her lips:

"Of course our Lorraine can become a third-level transcendent."

She has always regarded this girl who is a few years younger than her as her sister and encourages her with words.

I let out a long sigh in my heart. It's not that easy to become a third-level transcendent, let alone a third-level spiritual control master.

Liya understood that the reason why Lisa became a third-level spirit master was highly publicized because the senior officials wanted to set an example for lower-level spirit masters.

The church did not publicize the fact that Mr. Crown advanced to become a third-level transcendent. If they had not seen it today, they would not have known that their former partners had achieved such achievements.

In the real world, the probability of a spirit master losing control is still high. Unless this problem can be solved, it will still be difficult for a spirit master to advance.

The black crow flew over, croaked twice, and landed under the eaves.

"Whoa," Buster roared before attacking.

Lorraine laughed and said, "These two pets feel conflicted."

She walked onto the street and looked into the distance. The crows were back, and their owner should be back soon.

. . . .

Crown walked so fast that Harry had to break into a jog to keep up with him.

Lorraine saw the two people coming back and waved enthusiastically.

Liya also came forward and asked hopefully: "Sir, have you found any traces of Lucas?"

"That thing is no longer the Lucas you are familiar with."

Kroun recounted the facts he saw without any concealment, frowned slightly and said:

"Didn't you notice anything unusual about him?"

Monsters can imitate human mental fluctuations and living habits. It would be too scary if the companions who live with them day and night cannot see it.

Liya smiled unnaturally, and Lorraine lowered her head.

Looking at the expressions of the two people opposite him, he also understood that they must have been aware of it a little bit.

However, considering that Lucas's mental state would have had relatively large ups and downs, he understood the two people's thoughts in his heart.

"One member of the team is missing. How are you going to explain it to the superiors? Do you need my help to write a certificate?"

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency." Liya bowed to express her gratitude.

Crown wrote a piece of information for the other party, emphasizing the monster's ability to simulate human mental fluctuations, and then stamped his seal on it.

Harry leaned forward and asked, "Sir, do you want me to purify this place?"

When he was originally checking on the second floor, he found that there were relatively strong spiritual residues in some rooms. If they were not purified, they might give birth to spiritual bodies.

"You take a rest, I'll come."

Crown shook his head. The golden light spell had the spiritual power to purify evil spirits. He could also get the spiritual essence by purifying it himself.

You can get benefits from doing good deeds. How can you give this kind of thing to others?

After reaching the second floor, Crown asked Harry to stay at the top of the stairs while he entered each room to meditate on the golden light spell of a great celestial being.

As expected, he gained some spiritual energy and his skill proficiency increased more than usual.

. . . .

As night falls, Corson Street and nearby blocks are brightly lit, and people are coming and going on the streets. It is not as deserted as usual after dark.

A large number of police patrols, magicians, and church priests participated in the operation, and a few kilometers in radius were thoroughly investigated.

The three parties in Rhine City worked together to complete the originally planned work in the middle of the night, and the documents recording the results of the operation were submitted to the Nightingale Tavern.

Crown took the document handed over from Harry and read it carefully.

A total of 17 monsters were killed in this operation, and cultists were found hiding in the city. However, several other places where similar incidents occurred were found.

He opened the map that was presented to him, with those areas marked on it.

The identities of the deceased have been determined, and their identity information and social relationships have also been determined.

The chef of the Iron Duke and the waitress in the tavern have a long-term relationship. Every time they return from the voyage, the chef will come to the tavern.

Lorraine once said that there were at least twenty or thirty monsters in the scene she saw at that time. Only 17 were killed, and it is unknown how many escaped.

He was able to cast back time to determine the number of monsters, but this became meaningless.

This kind of soft monster can shrink its body and squeeze it into a small space. What you need to worry about is that they run into the sewer. In that case, the danger faced by Rhine City will be long-term.

It was impossible to send soldiers into the dirty sewers.

Crown sighed silently, and he began to truly understand why the Archbishop said that no matter how many ordinary people faced the evil god, it was meaningless.

Just a group of monsters running out of nowhere can cause great trouble to ordinary people's lives.

"It's dismissed. Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I will follow the arrangements of my superiors tomorrow."

Crown issued the order, and he decided to report it tomorrow. He didn't know many of the church's deployments. Other forces must have hidden methods. Let the big guys deal with such troublesome matters.

. . . .

The next day, Crown came to the archbishop's office, presented yesterday's investigation and reported the situation.

Flanders frowned and laughed self-deprecatingly:

"Hurry up and hurry up. We haven't nipped the threat in the bud. We can only activate the emergency plan in advance. I will inform the decision-makers of other forces."

He took out a map, stood up, drew a circle on the map, and said:

"Let me give you the basics first. The central area of ​​Rhine City shifted after the Red Moon Incident more than a hundred years ago.

Complete array systems have been built from above ground to underground in the church area, parliament area, and brotherhood core area, which are our refuges.

There is no need to worry about monster invasion in these areas. Potential enemies can be quickly eliminated after activating the magic circle. "

Crown took a look at the map and found that Baker Street was also covered by the magic circle. He was slightly relieved, otherwise he would probably have to sell the newly purchased mansion and go back to the church to live in a dormitory.

The problem now is that his sister's family's residence is outside this area, and he needs to go there to inform them of the current situation.

"How do people outside the sanctuary deal with those monster threats?"

Flanders pointed to a certain place in Whitechapel District and said:

"We need to build more shelters to spread the population out again. The Lingxu has been formed, and a new shelter will be built in this area."

"The original construction of the sanctuary was stopped because it was limited by a core material of the magic circle. This material can be obtained in the Lingxu. This is why we attach great importance to the exploration of the Lingxu."

"The monsters and most evil things you encountered today have a strong reaction to holy water. After the new power of protection is established, the residents who enter must drink the holy water to prove that they are not infected."

When Crown heard that the archbishop did not answer his question directly, he understood that this meant that ordinary people outside Sanctuary could only pray not to be selected by monsters in the next time.

"This is equivalent to giving up a lot of people, and cultists can easily grow and thrive in this soil."

He doesn't have the character to save people from fire and water, because he can't do it. His words only describe the difficulties he will face.

Flanders looked serious:

"For us, as long as we take it seriously, cultists can't cause any trouble at all. Our imaginary enemy has always been the evil god.

If a cultist appears, just destroy it. No matter how many ordinary people they hold hostage, they will not be able to escape the fate of being wiped out. "

He silently added in his mind: 'As long as our top management is not corrupted. ’

There have been many tragedies recorded in the records where high-level officials were also bewitched by evil gods, causing the destruction of many sanctuaries.

Crown suddenly remembered the past and asked, "How did Yorktown handle it at that time?"

"The crypt was re-purified, the statue of the evil god was completely destroyed, and all the contaminated people in the town were executed."

Flanders spoke very calmly, as if describing a very ordinary incident.

Beyond the words, there was blood and blood.

. . . .

In the evening, No. 12 Wutong Street, Bolton District.

Crown briefly explained the current situation to his sister and brother-in-law, and said:

"The trouble has been solved. I have now settled down and bought a mansion at 36 Baker Street. It is safe there."

Rodney said: “Thank you for your kindness, we have a better place to go.

Now your sister has been able to refine the extraordinary potion. Because of your help, my talent for controlling spirits has been stimulated to the greatest extent.

Even if I haven’t taken your medicine during this period, the evil thoughts of the spirit master will grow much slower than others.”

It turned out that the Warlock Brotherhood had arranged a large mansion for his family in the name of protecting potential talents.

Crown understood that this was the Brotherhood's method, most likely to get more talisman water from him.

However, Rodney's identity as a spiritual master is difficult to develop in the church, so staying in the Brotherhood might not be a bad place.

"That's good. I'm relieved if that's the case."

He took out two talismans and said: "Congratulations, come to me to get two talismans every month from now on. If my sister is willing to become a spirit controller in the future, I will also help."
