Abyss Express

Passing through the far-reaching tunnels of Balazon to the Nine Realms, we came to the Borean Tundra of Mimir Hot Spring Market again. This is old Jamie's home.

It was a wonderful feeling to see Digua Street and Digua Square again. In Xueming's eyes, nothing seemed to have changed much. People still drew guns and dueled in the streets and alleys, and shot birds with human faces from the sky for barbecue.

Take a bus to the city hall in the south of the city, and you can find a tree-heart hotel. Old Jamie does not have his own real estate, so he and his daughter squeeze into this cheap rental house.

Along the way, Xueming and the vulture brother chatted wordlessly.

Xueming looked at the photo on her phone and asked, "Do you live here?"

Jamie nodded: "Ah."

Xueming was puzzled: "It doesn't make sense, brother. You have to work as a gunsmith in Mimir Hot Spring Market for several years and you have to have a big house."

Jamie lowered his head in shame: “I can’t save any money.”

"Is it your daughter's illness?" Jiang Xueming decided to put aside the weapons issue for now.

In Mimir Hot Spring Market, the wages of cooks and gunsmiths are very high. Judging from the design language of this CZ-75, Brother Jamie should not be so poor. At least he is from a middle-class family, with a car and a house for his children. A prosperous life where one person works to support the whole family.

You know, Xueming relied on the magical power of Fragrant Fantasy to set up an unknown gunsmith studio as a label. Before the expedition, he could earn more than 40,000 yuan per month from orders. He made ten orders a month and produced one product every three days. A weapon. This efficiency is already very high. Not counting the favor orders from Morpho Clothes, this small studio alone can earn so much money.

The weapons of travelers, warband soldiers and militiamen, and armed employees from all over the place need to be adapted. Spending two to three thousand yuan to buy a reliable guy's handgun to save your life is better than anything else. Xueming's earliest exploration mission to escape the Death Doll Agency only paid more than 4,000 yuan, but life safety was paramount. For new passengers, spending this money wisely is the best risk investment.

Jamie's skills are not bad, much better than Xueming's two apprentices. According to the production standards of this CZ-75, Foianini and Billy may not be able to make it in a week. There is no reason for him to live in a rental house.

Old Jamie leaned against the car window and talked to Dr. Congfeng about the past.

"When I was young, I offended someone. If I made weapons for them, I would definitely be involved in grudges. You Chinese people call this Jianghu, which is like forging iron and making swords for the bandits who come and go. They use it to kill people, and the murder weapon has my hero on it. I will definitely not end well with the steel-stamped trademark of Mi Gongfang."

Jiang Xueming became more energetic: "I would like to hear the details."

"Fourteen years ago, I was making a living in the hot spring market. At that time, I had already made some achievements and had my own shop." Brother Jamie said lightly: "Everyone used rhino, and the consul distributed it to various gunsmiths. The task is to hold a gun-making competition and give these R45 Rhinos to new travelers as greeting gifts - Mimir Hot Spring Market has always been so enthusiastic, and it started from that time."

"Although I only have eight fingers, the physical strength of this disaster beast is immense. I can strangle rivets, combine screws, plan iron, file copper, and drill holes with just the strength of my fingers. I also have good eyesight. In the end, Won the championship.”

"The reputation of Jamie's Workshop has been established, and my wife is happy, so she spreads the news to the neighbors, and she is jealous. People's jealousy is very terrible. If this wife doesn't show off, maybe There’s nothing like that later.”

"There is a young man from the 22nd District who has a great hatred. This boy offended the leader of the war gang in the 22nd District and wanted to find someone to forge swords and guns to avenge his hatred. I was not prepared to accept this order at first - —The gunsmiths at Mimir Hot Spring Market usually only deal with shotguns. If the customer is not a military policeman and wants to lend a gun to kill people, this kind of business cannot be done."

"But my neighbors knew about this and took the initiative to find this young man in the center of the town. They boasted to him about how accurate and deadly the work of Jamie's workshop was. They said that revenge cannot be done without Jamie's gun. This gun-making I have to do all the work."

"My heart was soft for a moment, and my wife's ears were also soft. When the neighbors praised my store sign, she suddenly drank ecstasy and talked to me about justice and morality. It seemed that I didn't want to be a weapon for this young man. , that is, I have lost my conscience and refused to save him."

"My daughter was only four years old at that time, and I didn't dare to take on this business. The young man who had an enmity with me stared at me and my family fiercely. He squatted in the shop facing the street and saw me every day. When my daughter goes out, he will follow her for a few hundred meters and then come back."

"I can't bear this kind of pressure. I call the Red Rock Rock Band militia to chase people away, but it always ends. The neighbors continue to argue with my wife about moral matters, and my wife can't bear to look at me. She seems to think that I have no future. , we should use this matter as an excuse for divorce to force her."

"I'm anxious now"

Brother Jamie started to sweat on his face and became nervous.

"I am a beast hybrid. It is not easy to find this homo sapiens wife. It is very rare for her genes to be successfully combined with mine. She has already miscarried for me twice, and finally I have a daughter—— I just hope that my child can grow up healthy."

"So I agreed to this business without taking any money from the young man. I made guns and weapons for him and helped him get revenge."

"The result, the result."

Jamie was crying and couldn't stop crying when he thought about the sad past.

"How can that young man take revenge? He hit his head on the iron plate of the war gang, and his heart, liver and intestines were cut out by the monster. I only feel regret. If I had insisted on not relaxing, he would not have gone to seek death."

"That was the era when the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult was most rampant. The war gang in District 22 found out that I was a gunsmith. Even if I didn't stamp the weapons, they still knew that I helped this young man."

"These bullies and bandits came to my door and snatched my wife away. They also harmed my daughter and put a spell on her - they wanted to use her as a prop for a psychic ritual."

"She has been cursed, and part of her soul is no longer in her body. All kinds of monsters and ghosts can naturally possess her body."

"I took her to escape and hid in the Pigman Boss's shop for several years, hiding in the basement to work every day. Later, after Zhao Donglai took office, the security of Mimir Hot Spring became much better. I can also go back to the shop. I keep my head down and work hard to earn money for my daughter’s medical treatment.”

"But how can this damage to the soul be cured? I don't know. I had to keep collecting travel expenses and take her around to seek medical advice in various cities. I was defrauded of a lot of money, and there were also many kind people. Help, but it never gets better.”

"The leader of the war gang who first cast the curse on her is dead. This curse may have been lost for a long time - these beasts want to turn my daughter into an essential element of the sacrificial ceremony. The psychic can store the soul of the evil spirit. It can be used to complete the [reincarnation] ritual, or it can be used to accommodate a large number of spiritual bodies, and turned into spiritual energy enrichment for consumption by the cultists of the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult."

"I have also asked BOSS for help, I have asked Anonymous for help, and scholars from the Secret Library, especially psychics and demonologists, have opened a separate subject on my daughter's situation - after so many years, there has been no progress."

"Every once in a while, she would become crazy, and her temperament would change drastically, as if she had become a different person - a new spirit took up residence in her body."

Jiang Xueming probably understood the situation in Brother Jamie's family. The curse on this little daughter was very rare. It was a spell that directly attacked the spirit body itself. This kind of attack method was extremely rare even in his expedition career.

There are countless ways to destroy the physical essence.

There are also a variety of abnormal spiritual pressure neurotoxins that destroy the spiritual essence.

The only things that can destroy the essence of the soul are soul power and a series of evil things created by demonologists. They have very advanced spiritual knowledge. Like Pellelini Tuon's application of elemental essence, he can perform magic operations on the wings of light and give the soul power to his subordinates. This is a kind of "combination" power. .

The opponent John Borg once penetrated deeply into the original seed, and was pulled out of hell by the cultists of the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult. He returned to the world in the form of a spirit body. He was a proper demon. He transformed Homo sapiens, the method of turning homo sapiens into flesh and blood monsters also transformed the spiritual body of sapiens. This is a kind of "distorted" power.

Like Jason Megan's soul power [Windmill] - it can break and reorganize with the three elements. This is the power of "division".

Part of the spirit body of Old Jamie's daughter was divided and destroyed forever. This resulted in a vacuum area in her essence, which was an unclaimed body and spirit. Like an empty reservoir, there will always be some. The outside water rushed into the low-lying area of ​​the reservoir, occupying part of her body and spirit.

Arriving at the Tree Heart Hotel, Jiang Xueming got off the car and saw a huge tree standing along the mountain wall.

As the name suggests, the Tree Heart Hotel is a hollow tree. Its location is not good. The sulfur pyroxene of Mimir Hot Spring brings the scalding hot air to the upper city, causing the temperature here to reach 30 degrees Celsius. The same is true for the high-rise apartments of this super-ancient giant tree. The higher you go up, the higher the temperature becomes.

"Doctor, could you please take a look at my daughter?" Jamie didn't have any expectations. He just politely accepted Dr. Congfeng's request for auscultation - he never thought that a psychiatrist could deal with such a complex spiritual situation. disaster.

Xueming stood still in front of the hotel door: "What about your gun? Let's talk about it later?"

"What gun?" Jamie responded awkwardly: "This is an experimental product. It is very important to me. It is not easy to use - there are still many problems that have not been solved."

When Xueming bought this weapon, the pig boss only dared to ask for five hundred. This boss was not someone who didn't know the goods. Things like picking up bargains in fantasy novels did not happen to Xueming. The material cost of this piece of iron was not even worth 500 yuan.

This rocket launcher is an experimental engineering machine of extraordinary significance to Jamie. He must gradually improve this ammunition system. It was originally designed for underwater combat environments - whether it is Eureka or Red Star Mountain. , these routes to Shambhala require marine police and frogman troops.

Marine equipment is very rare in the underground world. If this rocket launcher can succeed, Jamie may be able to earn a lot of money, get the attention of Anonymous, and get help from the Secret Library Weapons Design Bureau, and never have to use it again. I worry that I don’t have money to treat my daughter’s illness.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just taking a look. If you want more, you can give me one." Xueming prevaricated.

The two of them squeezed into the elevator. Jamie was still worried and reminded Dr. Zhang Congfeng: "My daughter is often possessed by evil spirits. If you are hurt,"

Xueming: "It's okay. I'm prepared. I'm still an exorcist."

"Exorcist?" Jamie was suspicious, "You've never mentioned this before."

Fortunately, Zhang Congfeng's false identity also included a Christian label, and Wood Placker left a Bible in the document bag, which came in handy at this time.

"I am this, this, this, this." Jiang Xueming adjusted his glasses, took out his Bible and read the church on the title page: "The priest of the 31st District Branch of St. John the Evangelist, so I am also a priest who exorcises demons and spirits."

"Oh" Jamie thought for a while - isn't this psychiatrist just a trash can? He has to listen to the patients' chatter every day. It's the same with being a priest. He accepts the spiritual garbage spit out by the believers in the confessional. It's reasonable to have this part-time job.

When we arrived on the 22nd floor, we looked at the hollow tree's tube-shaped patio and saw clothes from the neighbors. There were also two basketball courts on the first floor. This huge treehouse seemed to support many poor households.

Follow the semi-curved corridor to find room 2218. This is old Jamie's house.

Just as Jamie was about to take out the key and open the door, a beast hybrid rushed out from the next door with a bloody head——

"——Jamie! Your daughter is sick again!"

She is an old aunt with lemur-like features on her face, long arms and legs, and gray-white hair all over her body. She can pass the trial without any clothes.

Wearing a white overskirt, she covered the wound on her forehead with a towel, and said with a horrified look on her face: "Look quickly! I was delivering food at noon, and I got hit as soon as I opened the door! There was a strange squeaking noise coming from the door. Sheng'er!~ I'm so timid! I threw the lunch box inside, and my palms and backs began to feel cold. I ran back to my room, and my cub said to me - Oops! OMG! Your head is bleeding! "

Aunt Lemur pointed to the wound on her forehead and reminded her with a whirring sound.

"Please give me an explanation for this! I have lost my appearance! If I do it again in the future..."

Without saying a word, Xueming took out some cash from his bag——

"——Hey, hey, hey, hey." The old aunt immediately smiled, took the money and went back.

Jamie looked at Dr. Zhang Congfeng awkwardly, his face full of apologies: "I will pay back! I will pay back! Charge it to my account!"

Xueming didn't care about the money, he cared more about the people in the house. If the lemur aunt is not lying, Brother Jamie’s daughter is still possessed.

He stretched out his hand and put it against the house number. He could feel the strong psychic tide and the temperature dropped obviously.

"Amen."

Jiang Xueming pretended to hold the Bible and made the sign of the cross.

"What's your daughter's name?"

Jamie replied: "Benny. Benny Eagle."

The moment he shouted his true name, a raging cold wind blew from the door.

It carried a sharp roar and a girl's miserable cry, sweeping over like a wave.

Gusts of cold wind ruffled Mr. Jamie's feathers, making him unsteady and almost falling over, hitting the guardrail of the corridor hard.

Xueming didn't move. His smooth, square-inch monk's head seemed to have no wind resistance, like a stone grabbing Jamie's clothes. Bring the old father back.

"Give me the key."

He wants to deal with this evil spirit for a while.

Jamie obeyed and gave the key to the psychiatrist. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, or whether it would kill this innocent homo sapiens.

Jiang Xueming took off the cross decoration on the cover of the Bible. It was a golden bronze sculpture, which became a prestige project for his exorcism skills.

He held the holy object high in one hand and opened the door with the other.

When he opened the door, he saw a disheveled girl with strange scars all over her body, lying in front of the hallway.

This is Jamie's daughter Benny. She is very photophobic. When the outdoor light shines into the dark room, she starts to roar strangely. The vulture gene makes her look even more terrifying, and she has many dense spots on her body. The round red hole in his body seemed to have plucked out all his feathers. His two arms were attached to the carpet, he raised his head in a strange posture, and spit out a six-inch long bright red tongue.

Her eyes had turned completely black and she was yelling at the guests at the door.

"Hahahahaha!~Jesus? Cross? You want to use this to subdue me? Heeheeheehee!~I'm going to kill this little lady's body! Even God can't protect her!"

Xueming's eyes gradually turned into a pair of vertical pupils, and the power of fragrant dreams flashed past.

The evil spirit hiding in Benny suddenly changed its expression——

"——Oh, it's okay. You are busy with your business. I won't disturb you."

A thick black mist rushed out of the girl's mouth. Before Xueming could do anything, it was flushed into the toilet and into the smelly sewer.

Jamie was stunned: "This, this, this ghost."

"It's the power of God!" Xueming said in a loud voice: "It drives the demons away from the body of this suffering victim! It's the power of God!"

He waved the cross and talked nonsense.

"Okay, are there any other symptoms Benny has?"

Before Jamie could speak, Benny had already regained some consciousness.

——She was in a daze, squirming on the ground and muttering.

"If. If I don't marry a gunsmith!~"

"If you don't marry that man"

"My beautiful soul will be tainted!~"
