That was the last picture a man saw in his life.

Then, the expression of astonishment, anger, and fear was permanently frozen on Lawrence's face.

Chapter 43 Q&A

After that, Ling casually threw away the stick.

In the dark attic, the monster's spread corpse fell on the ground, and a large amount of black blood oozing out gradually extinguished the flames.

She tried hard to laugh a few times, but her laughter was not as hearty as she imagined and seemed weak.

Ling stood silently in front of the corpse of the monster Lawrence, dazed and at a loss.When she was attacked while exploring the ruins of the factory, and learned that Lawrence was not dead, Ling's heart was occupied by the flames of hatred. After the flames were extinguished, she felt as if there was a piece of emptiness in her heart, and she didn't know what she needed to do in the future .

"It's not over yet. We need to complete the channeling. The ghouls created by Lawrence are still hidden underground in the town. Only by solving these hidden dangers can we complete the mission."

As Hyde said, he patted Ling on the shoulder.

Ling froze for a moment, then nodded,

"exactly……"

She seemed to have regained some energy and began to get busy, setting up the environment and starting to chant psychic spells.

The surrounding environment quickly became gloomy and cold, which was a sign of successful psychic magic.

Ella has been paying attention to Ling's changes.

After discovering that she showed no signs of losing control and her mood gradually stabilized, the silver-haired girl heaved a sigh of relief.

She remembered the last memory fragment she got, and decided to bury it in the depths of her consciousness forever.

Because that thing is likely to cause damage to Ling.

Lawrence is dead, and Ling will step out of the shadows in the future and return to his former self. This is a perfect outcome.

Ella thought,

That's fine, that's it.

An invisible, cold wind began to swirl in the attic, the psychic magic was completed, and Ling successfully summoned Lawrence's soul that had not yet dissipated.

After using the soul distribution technique twice, Lawrence only had a few broken soul bodies left. He appeared above the corpse, no longer the image of a monster, but just a thin middle-aged man with gray and transparent eyes and dull eyes.

Ella was the first to ask,

"Where are the ghouls hiding in this town?"

This was the most pressing issue, and after Lawrence's death the nature of events changed, and now only the ghouls were left to deal with.

Lawrence's soul responded with a blank tone like raving,

"They hide deep in the underground waterways...retaining human consciousness and do not obey my orders."

Retain human consciousness?This was an unexpected result, but it also explains why only domestic animals were attacked on Tanger Island.

Ella remembered Miss Rosa's description,

[They didn't attack me, they just threatened me not to make a sound... After dark, they left here]

【I think it's more like humans. If possible, I hope you don't hurt them. Those monsters have never hurt the residents of the island】

Where she didn't notice, Ling's body shook a little, and his face became a little pale.

Hyde then asked a second question,

"What other magic items do you have hidden?"

This is a very real problem, but it is very necessary.

Lawrence continued to answer without the slightest hesitation,

"Under the pillow in the bedroom, there is the ancient book "Corpse Canon" that I found in the ruins of the temple. There are some magic materials and prepared medicines in the study on the second floor."

Hyde nodded in satisfaction. This will become the collection of the Belusay family and the Mephisto family, and its copy will also enter Kraft's library later. It's a feat worth boasting about.

Magic materials can be used as trophies for the three of them. As for the drugs that turn people into ghouls, they need to be destroyed. Only one bottle needs to be kept and brought back to Fort Glamis as a sample.

Hyde shrugged and took a step back. These two questions already contained all the information needed for the mission.

At this time, Ling asked the third question, which was the one she cared about the most.

"Why do you have to enter the dreamland? You don't have to worry about creating a lot of victims to enter that kind of ghost place?"

Ling couldn't understand that the deepest level the three of them had reached in their dreams was already very close to that world. It was not a fairyland described in fairy tales.Just to reach that absurd world?This man did not hesitate to split his own soul, continue to conduct research after being killed by the Executor, and even killed her mother?

"..."

Lawrence's soul fell into contemplation, which seemed to be a reason too long ago. He covered his head with his imaginary hand, as if there was a pain that should not exist there.

Lawrence's eyes became confused and full of doubts.

"...I seem to have accidentally killed my younger brother when I was a child. After that, he often appeared in my dreams—if I could enter that world, I might be able to see him again...Did I succeed? I remember that I have perfected that prescription..."

Ling showed a disdainful sneer, and she suppressed the trembling caused by anger.

"You failed completely. I trampled on your long-cherished wish. It's a fate that suits you... Yes, that's how it should be - take your regrets and go back to hell!"

She wanted to see pain and despair in Lawrence's face.

But the soul of the latter has long been broken, just staring at the ground blankly, with confusion on his face,

"is that so……"

Ling seemed to have punched the air, and froze in place.

After answering three questions, Lawrence's soul exhausted all its strength and completely dissipated.

Ella took a step forward and hugged Ling from behind, whose body was stiff and cold.

"It has ended……"

-

After a long time, Ling broke the silence,

"What should I do next, people in the town will continue to suspect each other? Many innocent people will be burned to death."

Ella thought about it.

"Perhaps we can send the corpse of the monster left after Lawrence lost control to the Palamon sect, and leave a letter to let those fanatics know that the monster is dead."

"So they're going to stop everything? We just need to find those ghouls in the sewers before the next incident."

Hyde smiled lightly,

"The Sheriff's scandal has been exposed, and our wanted order should be lifted. This will make it easier to investigate the underground. This is what ordinary tasks should be like! The ruins in the rainforest, the out-of-control black magician, and... There is an inexplicable dream world, shit! Who knows what we have experienced before... Based on the goat's exploration, I can already determine their approximate location."

He didn't lift the ritual magic that enveloped this place, and the three of them used the shelter of darkness to transport the monster's body to a location close to the temple of the Paramon sect by using the levitation technique.Ella left an anonymous letter on the monster's body, and whoever found it would presumably give it to Priest Selvi Shastro the next morning.

Chapter 44 Monster has no tears

"I didn't expect that the depths of the drainage channel would look like this."

The three of them followed the goat and entered the ground through the drainage channel at the end of Mansour Street.

After going through a dirty and unbearably narrow passage, what Ella presents is a deeper and wider space.The stone walls here also have obvious artificial traces, but the style is quite different from the local area.

Unlike the pipes further up, the stone walls were more severely corroded by sewage and seemed to have been built in a far different year.

The underground space in Tangerang Town is unexpectedly wide, and the drainage system has only undergone simple repairs on the basis of the original one.

Considering the temple that exists in the depths of the island, perhaps many years ago, before the town was built, someone lived here and built a larger town than it is now.

"Williams... I'm still opposed to exploring the underground today. Even with the support of medicine, we've consumed too much today. It's obviously safer to rest for one night."

Hyde walked ahead, questioning the goat while controlling the way.

His current state is indeed not very good. The final battle in the depths of the dream has caused some damage to his spirit, and the execution of ritual magic also consumes a lot.

"exactly."

Ella kept walking, not slowing down.

"But if another ghoul attacked the town's livestock while we were resting, there would be no point in sending Lawrence's body to the temple, and the situation in the town would be irreparable. "

Hyde was dumbfounded, he hadn't thought of this level.This made him feel a little annoyed. Hyde felt that he should not ignore such an important thing. After a period of psychological struggle, he finally attributed the reason to his own mental trauma.

Ling followed silently at the end of the line, as she had been doing since she entered the ground.

There was a crisp sound on the ground, and Hyde seemed to have crushed something. He put the lantern close to the ground and found that it was a broken animal skeleton.

Deeper in the shadows, there are more skeletons of various sizes. Some of them belong to rodents or snakes that live underground, and others come from livestock that have disappeared in the town.

"It's close, we're heading in the right direction."

At this time, the small sound of something stepping on the bone came from the deeper darkness.

"who is it?"

Hyde lifted the oil lamp, and a short figure flashed in front of him. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to see the unique greenish skin.

"It's a ghoul! Chase after him!"

The goat was controlled by Hyde's mind, and it didn't show any fear. It rushed out quickly, and the three followed closely behind while keeping a distance.

After passing a corner, the goat let out a miserable howl, and Hyde, who was at the front, stopped. The broken head of the goat was thrown out from behind the corner by something, and hit the stone wall with a heavy muffled sound. , and spattered brains and blood.

"Get out, Pol, we won't take any orders from you!"

It was a voice like a broken bellows, and the content could only be discerned barely, but obviously, as Lawrence said, the ghoul still retained consciousness.

The three of them carefully prepared for protection, and then walked out of the corner.

A huge ghoul leaned forward, ready to pounce, and the shadows of three teenagers and girls were reflected in the dark red pupils. After seeing the visitor clearly, it showed obvious doubts, and its hostility was significantly reduced.
