Only me in the world is normal

Chapter 253 Witch
The pouring rain washed away the blood on Eve and the others.

There are a large number of small bloody streams flowing on the ground.

"What should we do now?" Eve looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked.

This operation was led by Father Anderson, and his performance just now clearly confirmed his leadership.

Xia Yan really decided that the black crow and the blood armor knights would have nothing to say.

"Go on, go and have a look inside." Xia Yanzhen said.

The mass of dead bodies that suddenly appeared was obviously abnormal, Nuo Da's castle estate was right in front of us, we might as well investigate it.

Send two black crows to gather the scattered horses and find a place to shelter from the rain.

The rest of the people walked and entered the castle manor.

There is a moat outside the castle, which is a "moat". It has gone through three stages of water, then no water, and now there is a little water again because of heavy rain.

The black city wall is not too high, about three meters, and the main wall of the real castle inside is very high.

Medieval fortress.

The trench was three to four meters wide, and the suspension bridge had long been damaged, so it was impossible to put it down to form a passage.

A group of people will not go down the trench first and then climb up like a dead body.

They skipped easily and entered the castle manor.

Inside are all kinds of old and abandoned low-rise buildings. In ten years, theoretically, they will not be so completely abandoned.

There is only one reason why it is so dilapidated, and that is that there are too many rats, which grind their teeth badly.

As everyone came in, they did hear a lot of rats creaking and rustling.

Not even the sound of heavy rain could hide it.

Several black crows scattered and searched everywhere.

Xia Yanzhen and the others went straight to the big castle in the center.

"Why is the door closed?" A group of people came to the castle. Compared with other buildings, the main body of the castle here is very complete.

Not too broken.

The gate was covered with iron sheets and was stained with rust.

"Is there a problem with closing it?" Someone asked.

"According to the scout's information, the door here is open. He saw many dead bodies running out of it, so he came to report." Eve said.

The church attaches great importance to the safety of the surrounding area of ​​the holy city, and there are raven scouts and red knight squads patrolling every day.

The range is not small, the dead bodies here were discovered by Raven scouts.

Eve and Xia Yanzhen read the task information together.

Xia Yan really didn't speak, she just explained some situations.

"It's normal for dead bodies to knock the door open, but can they still close the door?" said a blood armor knight.

Whether it is the raven of the burial institution, or the red knight of the knight order.

The biggest enemy he has faced these years is not other people, but dead bodies.

They know a lot about dead bodies, and they know that this thing is a beast without wisdom, and it is impossible to open the door.

Eve stepped forward and was about to open the door, but stopped for a moment.

"What?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"There is resistance." Eve exerted all her strength, and everyone heard the sound of something snapping, and then, the door was pushed open.

"what is this?"

"This one……"

Seeing the dim scene behind the door, the group of people froze for a moment.

Behind the door is not a flat ground, but a huge pothole, which occupies almost all the ground space.

In the center of the pothole, there is also a deep well-like hole.

About five meters in diameter.

The whole shape is like a huge funnel.

And in this funnel, there are still a few dead bodies that are not very sound. As Xia Yanzhen and others entered, they moved over with difficulty and wanted to attack.

It can be said that he is very dedicated.

The dedicated dead body was trampled to pieces by the ferocious blood armor knights.

A group of people went down the big pit and came to the hole in the middle.

It was pitch black in the deep well-like hole, and nothing could be seen, only the sound of a little mouse.

A crow lit the small lantern on his waist and threw it in.

The burrow was much deeper than expected.

In the end, the lantern didn't hit the lowest floor, but instead hit a group of dead bodies crowded in the burrow.

The dead body reacted violently to the falling lantern.

It was quickly destroyed, and the oil on it was sprinkled on itself, which ignited itself instead.

While the flames were dancing, except for Xia Yanzhen, everyone's expressions were not good-looking.

Apparently, the dead body was emerging from the ground.

It also means that there are already roads extending in all directions in the underground that is difficult for human beings to explore.

These roads, probably opened by rats, now serve as passages for the "transportation" of dead bodies.

Dead bodies, through underground paths, can appear all over the place, making it even more dangerous.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong!" Valentin thought a lot. "I can understand rats digging holes, but rats dig such a big hole, and there are dead bodies scurrying through these holes. And finally the door can be closed! Is that reasonable?"

If there was no question behind it, he, Valentine, had his head cut off.

The worries of these years had come true, and Valentine wished he could retire on the spot and stay motionless in the Holy City.

Fire doesn't make dead bodies run away like those "normal" rats.

They are not afraid of pain, and the damage of flames to dead bodies is negligible.

After a while, the flames went out, but they couldn't stop the scorched dead bodies from climbing up persistently.

Watching the burrow turn black again, no one spoke.

Only what Valentin had just said seemed to echo.

"It's the Damon siblings who are controlling it!" Eve said after a while.

"Can William still control the dead body?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

Brother William can control a normal mouse by turning it into a red-eyed mouse, but to be honest, that control is pretty low.

Xia Yanzhen still remembered the difficult look of William with the veins on his forehead.

It's like going to the toilet for a person with constipation and hemorrhoids.

He didn't think William had the ability to control so many rats to dig tunnels, and then control the dead bodies to gather.

"Could it be a witch?" someone said.

Xia Yanzhen looked over with a questioning expression.

Eve explained: "Mrs. Damon, the mother of Damon's siblings, she has been imprisoned in the holy city."

"She has this ability?"

"I don't know, if William can control the mouse..." Eve shook her head.

Even Eve doesn't know much about Mary Damon.

When the Black Death broke out that year, after the source was determined, it was the pope, several cardinals, and the most powerful blood armor knight Lancelot who jointly took action to capture the witch and imprison her in the deepest part of the church prison.

Why just imprison instead of killing the witch.

Even Eve and the others didn't know, so they didn't dare to ask.

It involves a lot of secrets, and I am afraid that only those at the cardinal level are qualified to know.

"Let's go." Xia Yanzhen turned around.

"Just leave like this?"

"Well, you don't want to jump down and get caught by a group of mice." Xia Yanzhen said.

He was insensitive to the environment of the rat-filled underpass.

Report the information here and let the cardinal worry about it.

Walking out of the castle, the heavy rain outside did not mean to stop.

A few prowling crows returned, making sure there were no more burrows, only the one big one deepening the pit.

That's where the dead come out.

Leaving the castle, everyone rode horses and headed towards the holy city.

After night fell, everyone returned to the holy city.

Outside the holy city, the lights are dotted and scattered, illuminating the surrounding buildings.

Those bright lights can effectively prevent rats from coming out to hurt people and spread the Black Death.

It was rather dark inside the holy city.

Because the holy city does not need additional light, it can also keep rats and danger out.

Together with Eve, Xia Yanzhen found Huo Lun who was awakened from his sleep, and reported the situation.

After hearing this, Huo Lun's face changed and he left in a hurry.

You should discuss it with someone else.

"Where are the other five blood armor knights?" Xia Yanzhen asked Eve.

Eve shook her head and said that she didn't know: "You don't really want to collect all the eternal blood armor, do you?"

"Isn't it good? When it's placed at home, it will look neat." Xia Yanzhen said.

It's hard for Eve to understand Xia Yan's true and false collection habit.

But thinking about coming to the church would not stop him from sparring with the blood armor knight.

As for the eternal blood armor, whether it is in the hands of the blood armor knight or the holy priest, it still belongs to the church in the end and has no effect.

At least that's what church leaders think.

After the report, Xia Yanzhen went back to the residence to rest.

On the other side, Hollen and a group of cardinals entered the underground prison of the church.

The rooms and corridors deep underground are not narrow, dark, and damp.

At first glance, it looks similar to the walkway on the ground, except that the glass is missing.

A group of people walked through the corridor and came to a wide room.

In the center of the room, there are three crosses.

On the cross, three people are bound respectively.

The one in the middle has a pale face, a clean white dress, long red hair and red lips in stark contrast to his pale face.

Her hands are nailed to the cross and spread out to the sides.

Not moving.

There is a black pipe piercing the body in front of the body, and it is connected to the chair in front of the cross.

In the soft and wide chair, the old pope was huddled, and the black tube pierced into the pope's arm through a small hollow metal tube.

It can be seen from the faintly oozing blood that the Pope is being transfused.

On the other two crosses, sisters Jones and William were crucified.

Unlike the mother in the middle, they seem to be more energetic and rebellious, so they are crucified hand and foot.

The same thing is that there is no blood flowing from the wounds of the three people, and there is a black tube on their bodies.

Formed in the shape of a trident, the blood passes through the tube and finally flows into the pope's body.

"what happened?"

Seeing Huo Lun and others coming together, the Pope opened his eyes and asked.

Huo Lun explained the findings of Xia Yanzhen and others.

The Pope stood up after removing the needle from his arm, and let the blood drip slowly onto the chair through the needle.

He walked up to the three crosses, raised his hands and began to chant.

A ray of light emerged from the void, rolling towards the three unconscious people on the cross.

Mary, Jones, and William felt the pain in the coma, and their bodies began to tremble unconsciously.

But none of them woke up.

Let the light travel through your body.

It looks like Xia Yanzhen has seen the scene where the holy book of purification devours the book of necromancy.

A moment later, the shuttled light escaped into the void.

The pope withdrew his hand, returned to the chair, and pierced the needle into his arm, allowing the blood of the three to continue to flow into his body.
