You call this the god of etiquette?

Chapter 63
The gloomy sky enveloped "Tarek", and the thick clouds were like a huge gray curtain, completely blocking the sun.

The breeze blows gently, bringing a moist breath.

The Plaza de San Zemura looked particularly dark in this weather.

Rows of towering buildings surround the square, like silent and majestic guardians.

They are built of dark gray stone.

Time and wind and rain have left deep and shallow traces on these buildings.

In the center of the square is a solemn and ancient stone sculpture depicting an old man stroking the earth.

This is the creator of "Tariek".

Bishop Zemla, revered as a saint by the Church of the Earth Father.

San Zemla Square is named after him.

However, in overcast weather.

The statue of Saint Zemra exudes a strange indifference and ruthlessness.

After three rounds of convening bells.

The square was already crowded with people like bee swarms.

Fortunately, because it is not the first time that the residents of "Talek" have been summoned by the bell, the scene has always been relatively stable——

The first to hear the voice was naturally the followers of Father Earth who lived in the central area.

They are basically the famous people in the town.

Occupies the closest position to the statue.

Then there are the slightly wealthier civilians living in the outer periphery.

And the traveling merchants and peddlers who make a living near Talek Avenue.

The outermost ones are, of course, the civilians living on Leighton Street like the old Drake family.

Iger is an exception.

After all, his status as a priest made him theoretically a middle- and upper-class person in the town.

Especially recently, he and Zhili in black have become more prominent, and their actual status in the town has become more and more recognized.

But because the Temple of Ritual in Black is located on Ligang Street, he was among the last group to arrive.

According to the past situation, the sooner you arrive and the closer you are to the center of the square, the better.

If there is some important member of the royal family or a high-ranking official of the kingdom, there may be a chance to get acquainted with each other.

But this time.

Arriving early may not necessarily be a good thing.

Yige had been sensitive to the disturbances in the town because of the "Night Beast" incident.

And this time there was no sign of the convening bell.

The mayor's office did not notify the residents of the town in advance of the convening as usual.

Even the patrolling guards Ige met on the road looked blank, not knowing whether to go to the square or not.

They are not the same as the guards guarding the entrance and walls of the town. They have to perform corresponding tasks when the summoning bell rings.

Make sure that the people who should be there are there, and those who shouldn't be there are not.

For example, if someone comes from the capital of the king.

In addition to clearing the way for some important people in the town to ensure that they can arrive outside the venue in time.

It is also necessary to consider driving beggars, homeless people and other "unable to get on the table" characters out of the traffic arteries.

The gentlemen are kind-hearted, and there are some things that cannot be seen.

But this time the patrol guard did not receive any instructions.

In the end, I just followed the flow of people to San Zemla Square in a daze.

Then they began to separate the crowd in a daze to maintain order.

Even standing on the periphery, Yige could hear people talking loudly——

"What happened today? Why did the bell ring suddenly?"

"That's right. According to the weather, it is estimated that it will rain soon. Don't delay me putting away the quilt."

"People in the town just like to find trouble for nothing. We must be listening to some big man talking non-stop again."

Many of the people standing together were neighbors, complaining nonchalantly to each other.

Anyway, even if they said something dissatisfied with the town, the rich people standing in front couldn't hear it.

As for the real big shots sitting in the innermost place, you don't even know what they are talking about.

The patrolling guards were also at a loss to maintain order at this time.

Hearing the complaints of the civilians, he didn't go looking for trouble when he was full.

The low-level civilians have lived in "Talek" for so many years, and they have a good sense of proportion.

Complaints stop at the town level, which is not a big deal.

No matter how shady a person is, they generally won't use this kind of trickery to get online.

But what if you dare complain about the Church of the Earth Father?
Don't die?

Yige just idly disappeared into the surrounding crowd.

He had already found a way to escape in advance.

Once things change.

He can immediately rush to Tarik Avenue, and then turn to the Temple of Ritual in Black.

The waiting time is a bit boring though.

But
Yig looked at the statue of Saint Zemra standing tall in the center of the crowd.

The Lord is about to appear.

at a certain moment.

Sitting at the place closest to the stone statue, some of the dignitaries of the town who were waiting impatiently suddenly realized something was wrong.

The mayor's younger brother Rand Raven, who was the loudest and complained non-stop, stopped talking directly.

Taking a deep breath, the hairs all over his body stood on end.

He stared at the tall stone statue in front of him speechlessly with wide eyes, and subconsciously pointed at it.

It attracted more people to notice the changes in the stone statue.

An atmosphere of panic began to spread.

I saw dissolved holes appearing on the originally flat surface of the stone statue.

Those holes seemed to be pierced by some kind of strange force, scattered irregularly across the surface of the stone statue.

Countless holes are as small as the eye of a needle and as big as the mouth of a bowl, with different shapes but no rules.

A sickening sight emerges from the hole.

Pieces of skin rolled into scrolls emerged from the holes.

Then it unfolded quickly.

The intertwined silver threads on the deep purple surface are like twisted strange snakes.

These purple skins wriggled, as if there were countless evil spirits trying to break free from their shackles.

The dark sky, the festering idol.

Everything exudes a sense of coldness and eerieness.

The purple skin glowed like a light from the depths of hell.

Their viciousness terrifies almost everyone who witnesses it.

"what!----"

A beautiful woman in a delicate light blue dress with a three-finger-wide embroidered ribbon around her waist, couldn't restrain the fear in her heart, and screamed loudly.

The sound is very penetrating.

Linger didn't notice the change of the stone statue, but the crowd who had been waiting for a long time and had some doubts were also dominated by inexplicable panic.

The dignitaries in the innermost circle did not intend to explain, but rushed out as much as possible under the guard of their personal attendants.

The scene fell into chaos.

But they have no time to escape.

Pieces of deep purple leather burst into countless tiny parts the moment they emerged from the stone statue.

Thousands of pieces the size of a pinpoint almost formed an inescapable purple wind curtain, magnificent and evil.

It centered on the stone statue of Zemla and spread rapidly to all directions.

The crowd fell into complete disorder.

There were cries and shouts one after another.

The people inside squeezed out frantically, trying to avoid the pursuit of "Skin".

After witnessing the eye-catching purple storm, the people outside also wanted to escape from the square with their instinctive warning.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

When the fragments touch the human body, it brings a burst of tingling and numbness.

Frightened people caught in the storm clutched at their wounds and tried to pull out the tiny pieces that had invaded their bodies.

However, while they were grabbing, they didn't realize that more pieces of purple skin had successfully entered their bodies.

Countless tiny fragments merged into their blood and tissues.

No matter how hard you struggle, it's futile.

The pieces of purple skin were more and more closely integrated with the human body, and began to control the body and consciousness of the parasite like an irresistible master.

Deviations that transform the flesh of the person they possess.

First is pain, then numbness, and finally sinking and adapting.

Rand Raven is one of those unlucky ones.

Among the dignitaries in the inner circle, he was not too late to discover the vision.

It's a pity that the location is too close to the stone statue, and it became one of the earliest victims.

Rand began to change.

His smooth skin, which had been carefully groomed, became rough and had an eerie purple glow.

Black scales began to emerge on the surface of his body, like evil forces surging, continuously spreading and growing, quickly spreading to the whole body.

These black scales bite together like sharp blades.

Over time, it completely covers the entire body and becomes harder and harder.

Abnormal mutations also occurred in the muscles and bones under Zipi's control.

The soft and flexible limbs that originally belonged to humans became strong and rough, and there was a terrible friction sound with every movement.

The nails grow longer, like sharp blades of forged steel.

As the distortion progressed, Rand's face gradually distorted and deformed.

Completely lost its human form.

His nose became pointed, and his mouth gradually split to a degree that humans could not reach, revealing the jagged teeth of a beast.

The eyes were sunken, turning into red amber in the dark, shining strangely in the shadows.

The fusion of purple skin in Rand's body, which has turned into a black-scaled monster, is constantly increasing.

It and its newborn brethren began to possess great strength and speed.

They can leap several meters with ease and move with incredible agility.

At the same time, the black-scaled monsters have evolved to this stage, and have already lost all their speech abilities as humans.

All he could do was make a low, disgusting howl, and land on all fours like an out-of-control beast.

Due to Zipi's mental twist, the black-scaled monsters completely lost their humanity and emotions.

The domineering and arrogance of Rand's younger brother as the mayor has been completely wiped out, leaving only destruction and bloodthirsty desire in his heart.

And their surroundings are full of prey!
These deformed and disgusting black scale monsters are extremely flexible.

Once they have located a panicked fleeing person, they will crawl to the side of the target with amazing speed.

It then mercilessly plunges into the victim's body with its extremely sharp, barbed claws.

Pull and pull.

It can easily dig out the internal organs of the prey from the body.

All that was left was blood spurting out and half-dead human bodies twitching on the ground.

Whenever the hunt is successful, the black scale monsters will also make a deafening roar.

Soon, terrible howls followed one after another, echoing in the apocalyptic world.

Yige has already moved strategically.

He even suspected that he was the first to discover the vision of the stone statue.

From the very first moment he saw the statue of Saint Zemra, Yigger felt that it had a connection with Purple Skin.

He wasn't sure if it was because he was almost parasitized by purple skin, or because of some other reason.

In any case, there is no doubt that San Zemla Square should not be left for a long time.

Therefore, black dots appear faintly on the surface of the stone statue of Zemla.

He left with Old Derek's family and eight of his prospective believers.

It's just that the mastermind behind the scenes obviously doesn't intend to let off anyone who escaped from the square so easily.

Bolt around the corner to Tarek Avenue.

In front of a silver jewelry store with a huge signboard.

Yige stopped abruptly.

The eleven civilians behind him also alertly stopped.

Before they left, they saw the changes in the square from a distance.

Therefore, even if Yige didn't specifically ask him, he knew that he must follow his steps closely at this time.

This is the survival wisdom necessary for people at the bottom.

Here, the apocalyptic music of howling and roaring in the square became lighter.

It makes people who run all the way seem like a lifetime away.

He could only turn his head to look at the weird purple light raging outside the six or seven rows of buildings that was higher than the roof.

In order to make them truly aware again.

The town has undergone earth-shaking changes!

The silver shop has two floors and is built of solid gray stone.

The spacious and bright display windows stretch along the entire ground, and through the transparent glass, you can see the booths filled with exquisite silver jewelry.

The most eye-catching feature of the entire silver jewelry store is its huge silver-plated signboard hanging directly above the storefront.

Inlaid with finely decorated patterns and gorgeous fonts.

There are several large characters of "Silver Satin" carved on it.

"Stand back!" Yige observed the silver shop carefully, and suddenly shouted, breaking the silence on the road.

The civilians behind heard the words and hurriedly retreated.

The voice fell for less than ten seconds.

Five black-scaled monsters burst out from behind the signboard.

They twisted and deformed as if they had stepped out of a nightmare.

Wearing black scale armor, he shone with a ruthless look.

The red eyes exude a terrifying and fierce light, and under the gloomy sky, it looks like endless evil forces are condensed and formed.

Without any warning, they jumped from a high place, drew a strange arc in the air and landed on the road accurately.

The civilians didn't have time to run away.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides is getting closer.

Yige has already rushed to the direction where the monsters landed!

He recognized the tall "leader" monster at a glance.

The black robe on his body was rattling under the gallop, and Yige's whole body burst into a cyan luster, and all the energy was concentrated on the fist as he punched with his right hand.

boom--

It seemed that two high-speed carriages collided together.

The leader monster didn't even have time to turn around, the back of his head was blasted from bottom to top!

The fiery red eyeballs were splashed out with the red and white slurry under the action of huge force.

The leader monster's body nearly two meters high, flew out in the direction of the punch, and happened to fall in front of the four ordinary monsters who were about to catch up with the civilians a few meters away.

After a few twitches, it was completely lifeless.

The fleeing people didn't bother to look back.

But the black-scaled monsters seemed to have lost their backbone, and their footsteps stopped.
