old dream

Chapter 54 Rats
Because of the wizard's babble, Colin was able to determine his location and detoured to a relatively safe corner with Giovanni.

"Have you ever fought the devil?" Colin asked.

"Very few, although a few have been killed by chance." Giovanni said:
"But I never want to recall those experiences."

It seems that confronting the devil directly is also quite difficult for them.So Colin prioritized his own safety at this time:
"Since the curse killing ceremony has been interrupted, how about we choose to leave and let the people of the sect deal with it?"

The ceremony has never taken effect, and naturally there will be no traces left.The altar of the material plane has also been set on fire, and soon the tavern will be consumed by flames, leaving no evidence.

In the end, in the eyes of the authorities, "Gunhole" Ritchie may just be a victim who was affected.

While letting the fire and the raging devil go unchecked may lead to the appearance of innocent victims.But without enough confidence, Colin would not choose to risk himself for someone he didn't know.

All he can do is to warn people nearby as much as possible.

Although it is inevitable that there will be guilt in your heart, but if you take one more life on your own, it will not change anything, then pretend to turn a blind eye.

There are people in this world who are dying involuntarily at any time, but they are not seen, and most people can live with peace of mind.

"It's too late," said Giovanni, stroking the scar on his face:

"It has remembered our characteristics, and it has enough intelligence to restrain itself from attracting the cult. As long as it is not banished back to the Netherworld, it will haunt us forever..."

"We can go to the shelter of the order immediately." Colin said:

"In the eyes of bystanders, we are just innocent passers-by who are targeted by it."

As long as some traces are handled properly, Colin and Giovanni are completely ordinary people.And the cults are obliged to protect them in such matters.

"Yes..." said Giovanni:
"But think about it again, how can an ordinary person know that he is entangled by the devil?"

Colin was stunned, and after a little thought, he said:

"Let's just say that I saw a strange altar. And even ordinary people can somehow detect some signs on their bodies."

At this point, the two had returned to the corner of the stairs, ready to quickly return to the rooftop.

After all, the opponent's spells can penetrate physical barriers. If the expected position does not exist, it is obviously a better choice to choose the battlefield on the rooftop that is relatively conducive to shooting.

"Yes, omens."

On Giovanni's face, which looked a little terrifying because of the deep ravine, there was a mocking look:

"Several nights of nightmares, a small problem in the knee, a moment of nervousness...and the most common one, escaping without believing that you are really so incompetent after experiencing failure..."

"Everything that goes wrong can be attributed to 'the devil's entanglement'. So there are always a few people who go to church all day long and say they suspect they are entangled in dirty things, and they can always present some 'evidence' '."

"But where do you get so many resources? How can you tell who is behind the real devil? At most, the priests will send them away after giving them some little things that can bring psychological comfort."

It's just like a dead end.Ordinary people's wild guesses cannot prove that there is a devil in them.But if you can really produce conclusive evidence, it is almost equivalent to declaring your suspicion of witchcraft.

Pushing open the hidden door on the second floor, Ke Lin saw the cold moonlight and starry sky on the rooftop again.A trace of helplessness and cold passed through his heart in an instant.

Now that there are ulterior secrets on his body, he will never want to get normal and legal asylum.

"The devils in the world can never be killed. The radical fourth sect, the Essence of Light, even claimed to leave a clean human world and return it to God. But when it comes to this kind of problem, they only choose not to suffer. The practice of not taking action.”

Giovanni said in a cold tone:
"What's more, we mice living in the gray area are the filth in their eyes, let alone get protection from anyone."

Not sheltered by the light, nor in the company of the darkness, humbly seeking a way of life.

It is precisely because of this that the Cynthili community only needs the existence of five hands, lampkeepers and fangs.

Some guardians, who were also unclean, violated taboos in order to protect themselves.

……

……

The two were hiding behind a pile of debris.

Although Colin was pointing a gun at the open door, he knew that these tactical moves against ordinary people were probably meaningless.

I always feel that the temperature on the ground is rising faintly, I am afraid that the fire is spreading.

If the flames really burn to the second floor, they can still escape through the ropes on the side.If it really doesn't work, you can jump directly from the second floor in the stress state of symbiotic bacteria.

But if it really gets to that point, it may be necessary to fire a few more shots along the road to remind the surrounding residents.

The surrounding silence was terrifying, and the demons on the first floor seemed to have forgotten the existence of the two enemies for a while, and did not know what they were planning.

At this time, it was nearly three o'clock. Ke Lin glanced at the stars in the sky. The Julu Palace, where Qingxing was located, was slowly leaving the fruit palace, and in another hour, he would enter the prosperous First Palace.

"...Is it deliberately delaying time?"

"The fire is so big below. If the host is burned to death, they can only be sent back to the virtual world." Giovanni sat against the railing, looking sideways at the street through the gap, which was almost exactly the exit of the back door.

As the main door of the tavern, the front door was locked from the outside, and there would be a lot of noise if you wanted to go out there.

With guns in both hands, Giovanni licked his dry lips.The effect of the howling appears to decay with distance.If "it" drives the sorcerer's physical body through any exit, he's a real target

So the other party will go to the second floor sooner or later, but it seems that they haven't found a way to effectively confront the other party.

"Alessio," said Giovanni impatiently:

"Isn't it possible to determine the origin of the other party after so long?"

"I don't want to argue with you at this time," said Arecio's voice:
"You forgot how many kinds of devils there are in the world? Not enough information, guessing like a magic stick?"

"Why would it be so difficult if you hadn't abandoned the lights yourself?" Giovanni responded sarcastically.

If Arecio was still the complete lampkeeper, then he would be able to see the opponent's body directly without the need for auxiliary means such as lanterns and differentiation of symbiotic bacteria.

Although Giovanni sneered habitually, he also knew that the dispute at this time was meaningless:

"One more time, you should almost see the origin of the other party."

"It's not up to me, Giovanni! It's..."

"I have seen it."

Giovanni entered the situation of facing the enemy, because of the large amount of inducers in his blood, his eyes were slightly red.

Colin stared nervously at the open rooftop door. The black hole was like a hole leading to hell. A dark red fire started to be reflected in it. As the fire gradually brightened, a figure slowly emerged from it.

It's like waiting there.

Extremely abrupt, it seemed that time had stagnated for a moment, and there was no movement from the man, but a sharp shriek had already rushed towards the face, sweeping every corner of the second floor.
