Mystery: Days and Nights of Struggle with the Research Society

Chapter 107: What happened when you ran into the Temperance Sect late at night?

Su Ya allowed his thoughts to extend endlessly. After a while, he shook his head, took out a pocket watch from the inner pocket of his windbreaker, and checked the time.

It was almost ten o'clock now. If he didn't go back, I'm afraid Mr. Butler would send his servants out to look for him.

Su Ya shook his head, briefly checked the direction, and found that he had unknowingly walked from the edge of Queens District to an alley near the Backlund Bridge area and Rose Street.

I remember that the 'Brave Man's Bar' in the original novel seemed to be around here?If you have time another day, you can come over and take a look. Although most of Mr. Eye of Wisdom’s party are low-level Beyonders, there are Sharon and Maric from the Temperance School, and people from the School of Life. The 'pharmacist' also includes peripheral members of the Aurora Society and the 'lawyer' lady who is suspected to have a craftsman behind her. The ingredients are extremely complex.

Even Mr. Eye of Wisdom himself is a detective who is suspected to have the background of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. It can be said that he is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

Hmm. At that time, I can also test whether I can get the formula for the reader path potion from the other party. Although maybe this Mr. Detective will not give him the formula for the Sequence 7 potion, but if he only needs auxiliary materials, he should You can try it
Su Ya thought about it, but did not stop. Instead, he walked out along the dim alley, intending to leave this relatively remote area and find a way to find a carriage to take him home.But just as he was about to continue walking forward, he heard something moving in front of him.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his feet turned slightly, maintaining the state of 'psychological invisibility', and strolled towards the street where the strange noise came from.

Backlund in August is no longer as hot as summer because it is shrouded in haze all year round. Especially at night, there are occasional cold winds, forcing people traveling at night to wear windproof jackets.But tonight, the cold wind was mixed with a faint smell of blood, drifting from the street not far from Su Ya.

Suya stopped at the intersection near the scene. He carefully opened the panel and experimentally clicked on the title vision. His spiritual intuition immediately gave him a premonition.Su Ya nodded clearly - it seemed that the one causing trouble in front was not the Aurora Society, it might be other secret organizations or the Beyonder team of the Righteous God Church doing the mission.

As for which one it is, given that Backlund's evil organization is so open to a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, even he really can't guess it before seeing the other party with his own eyes.

Su Ya listened carefully, and only heard the sound of the howling night wind, and the very weak breathing mixed in it. He did not get any information, but his inspiration told him that he should go and take a look.Su Ya thought for a moment, checked the sealed objects on his body, and then stepped cautiously towards the place where the sound came from under the guidance of spiritual intuition.

Although he is now Sequence 6 and carries many powerful sealed objects, he still has too little experience in fighting enemies, and he is in the very mysterious Sequence of 'Disaster Priest'. Naturally, he has to learn from Klein and be cautious. Be careful.

Su Ya walked all the way to a dark and dark corner without street lights. Here, he smelled a stronger smell of blood and a faint floral fragrance that was almost rotten.The scent of flowers is often associated with beauty, but the floral scent that Su Ya smells now has a strong sense of putridity. It is not really a smell of rot, but more like a spiritual feeling. , it was the warning given to him by his spiritual intuition, which made him unable to help but feel more alert in his heart.

Blood and floral fragrance. Su Ya’s intuition told her that this might be related to the Rose School of Thought.

According to Suya's long-standing habit, he should have turned around and left at this time, and then found a way to report to St. Samuel's Cathedral to protect himself, but his spiritual intuition told him that standing idly by was not the best option.

Although Suya feels that he cannot rely entirely on spiritual intuition, so far, he has not had any problems with his spiritual intuition. Therefore, he encountered the Rose School, Backlund Bridge Area, and not far from the Brave Bar. Could it be Sharon and Maric?
Thinking of this, Su Ya took two steps forward, and with the help of the faint moonlight penetrating the clouds, he stared at the source of the smell of blood and the scent of rancid flowers.And when he saw the person who made the strange sound and smell, he couldn't help but gasped and his eyes widened.

It was a man with an extremely pale face. His face was covered with horrific black spots, as if they were traces left after the healing of rotten wounds. A pair of dark eyes filled with unconcealable malice.The clothes on his body were so tattered that they could hardly cover his body. Countless vines that seemed to be rooted deep in his flesh and blood were slowly emerging from his chest and abdomen, blooming one after another with bright and fragrant flowers.

The pale man was struggling to lie on the ground, one hand tightly hugging a bloody thigh that was obviously from a human being, and his grinning mouth was still biting and devouring the flesh at the fault of the thigh. , and scattered around the opponent were another bloody thigh, a foot wearing leather shoes connected to the calf, half-eaten fingers with tooth marks on them, and some unknown flesh and blood that were obviously human tissue.

This scene looks like the scene of an ogre murder, but these are not the reasons why Suya feels terrified. Although everything in front of him looks very scary, it is very scary for the extraordinary people who have long known about this world. For Suya, who is crazy and has personally experienced some tasks related to the Rose School of Thought, he will not be too surprised.

What was really hard for Su Ya to accept was that the terrifying pale man in front of him was actually a 'half-man' with only the upper half of his body and one arm left, and his missing lower body was being held in his hands. Biting and devouring it intoxicatedly, as if it were some unparalleled delicacy.

He is eating himself.

When this idea appeared in Su Ya's mind, he subconsciously took half a step back, feeling an indescribable nausea in his heart and feeling a little uncomfortable.

Su Ya resisted the discomfort and used the power of 'psychiatrist' to observe the other party under the moonlight.

This man is pale and has dark spots on his face, which are consistent with the characteristics of a 'living corpse'. Judging from the broken cloth on his body, it can still be seen that the material is not bad. He must have been in good living conditions.But there was a layer of newly grown calluses on the fingers scattered on the ground, and there were serious signs of wear on the leather shoes. It was obvious that at least he had not been doing well recently.

Although this man looked completely crazy and hopeless, even at this time he did not lose control. Why?Is there something about him that keeps him from losing control?Is he a temperance man? .Well, if it is a sensualist, if he is so crazy, he will not just eat himself, but will have already rushed into the homes of nearby residents and started killing.

Su Ya had various thoughts in her heart, and finally decided to try to save the other party.He looked around, and his inspiration told him that there was no one else here, so he walked around the place where there was blood, slightly lifted the hem of his cloak to prevent it from being stained with blood, and approached the pale man who was still biting and devouring his thigh, and used it on him 'appease'.

After being comforted, a dazed look appeared in the pale man's eyes, but it was quickly covered with malice again, but the movement of biting and swallowing flesh became slower.

Effective, but not effective enough.

Su Ya frowned slightly, took off the 'Kuliler Star' from the cuff, turned it around on his fingertips, mobilized his spiritual energy and put it on for a dozen times to comfort him before he stopped temporarily, and looked at the person who had stopped biting and was sluggish. The man on the spot raised his eyebrows.

"You and I, help, vomit." As the comfort was released, the malice in the pale man's eyes was gradually suppressed by his clear mind. He opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, I felt something seemed to be in my mouth.He subconsciously lowered his head and saw the only arm he had left, and the dense gnawing marks on the familiar-looking thigh he was holding tightly in his arm. He instantly recalled what had just happened, and immediately Throwing away the thighs in his arms, he lay on the ground and vomited violently.

"Are you okay?" Su Ya looked silently at the large amount of blood under the pale man, as well as the vines and flowers growing wantonly on his chest and abdomen, and couldn't help but wonder if this guy could really survive?

"I'm vomiting, it's okay." The pale man lay on the ground and vomited out a bunch of unknown objects that were bloody and fleshy. After a while, he slowly supported his body with one hand and sat against the wall, panting and speaking in a tone of voice. Extremely weak, "Please Iron Gate Street."

Before he could finish speaking, blood began to pour out of his mouth. The pale man raised his hand to cover his mouth tremblingly, but more blood flowed out from the dense wounds on his body, gradually taking away his vitality. .Su Ya could see that unless he now had a high-level sealed object of the Earth Path in his hand, there would be no possibility for this person to survive.

"This is the reward, please save Sharon and..." The man seemed to know that his life might be about to end. He tremblingly took out a bright and dazzling rose from his arms and handed it to Su Ya, his dark eyes filled with tears. It’s a prayer, “Save them.”

Sharon?Is it Sharon 'Puppet'?Are they in danger?Su Ya immediately understood the meaning of the dying 'living corpse' in front of him, but at this time in the original book, Sharon and Maric should not have experienced a life-threatening crisis?Is this also the butterfly effect brought about by his time travel?

He didn't have time to think too much, because if something happened to the two almost last members of the Temperance sect due to his fault, Su Adam took the rose immediately and threw it into the panel without taking any more care. The dying man leaning against the wall quickly ran towards Tiemen Street.

Miss Sharon, you must hold on.

While running, he quickly took out a piece of letter paper and a pen, bit off the cap of the pen with his mouth, and scrawled a few words on it: 'Iron Gate Street, Rose School of Thought, urgent! ', and then he fumbled for a strangely shaped bell in his arms and shook it vigorously.

This was given to him by Atil before he left home this time. It was said to be a token from another senior deacon in the church. If he encounters an irresistible danger again within the scope of Backlund, he can ring this bell. Summon the messenger of the senior deacon to call for help in emergencies.

As for Atil's own messenger, Suya, he had a tacit understanding and did not ask. After all, summoning the messenger requires the extraordinary person to have certain attainments in mysticism. He arranged the ceremony himself, and with Atil's level of mysticism.
Su Ya handed the letter to the messenger who suddenly appeared, a natural spirit. Watching it disappear into the night, he shook his head and ran quickly in the dark alley. At the same time, he did not forget to turn on the 'psychological invisibility' again. state.

Although his purpose was to save people, he still had to focus on protecting himself before he was sure how many Beyonders the Rose School of Thought would dispatch to hunt down the 'Temperance Sect'.

But what's going on with the 'Heart of Machinery'? The Backlund Bridge area is under the jurisdiction of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. This kind of battle involving at least one Sequence 5 and more than two Sequence 6 extraordinary people did not cause any trouble. 'Machine Heart' attention?
Su Ya thought helplessly, approaching Tiemen Street, but did not hear any sound of fighting. It was quiet here, only the sound of insects came from the ditch on the roadside.

Not right.

Su Ya stopped calmly and slowly, step by step, approached the intersection of Tiemen Street.He pressed his body against the wall of the alley, pressed the mask on his face and the cloak hood covering his hair, and calmly checked the sealed items on his body and his remaining spirituality. After everything was ready, he He took a deep breath, kept his body still, and poked his head out from the street corner, trying to explore.

There was silence on the street. The doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street were all closed, leaving no gaps. However, there were many traces of potholes on the street, as well as the residual atmosphere of many extraordinary abilities. It was obvious that this place had just been There was indeed a big battle, but by this time the battle was over.

In a large pit in the middle of Tiemen Street, several sturdy figures were stacked on top of each other and fell into a coma. From the shapes of these figures, Su Ya could vaguely recognize that several of them had the appearance of 'werewolves' And the characteristics of a 'living corpse', if there are no accidents, maybe this is a person from the Rose School of thought.

Su Ya ignored them and looked back hurriedly, trying to find Sharon and Maric.

But he didn't see a figure similar to the one described in the original book. Instead, behind the 'heap of alien species' composed of living corpses and werewolves, he saw a very familiar but unbelievable figure.

　I finally caught up. This chapter was originally written to include Sharon’s appearance, but it didn’t feel right and the character didn’t feel right, so I deleted [-] words and rewrote it.

　　By the way, the sidekick who appears in this chapter is not Maric.
