Apocalypse Forecast

The entire restaurant was disturbed by this scream.

Immediately, all the fierce gazes turned towards the green fairy standing at the back of the restaurant, stirring the pot with a big spoon. The dwarf-like man trembled and then screamed.

"I didn't... I didn't..."

He defended himself in fear, "I swear! I only threw a shoe pad in there!"

Well...

Now Huai Shi knew where the magical shoe pad from that table went. So, the foot odor emanating from this thick soup was really foot odor!

Anyway, let's tie this guy up and give him a beating first!

But soon, someone discovered that the person lying on the ground was indeed poisoned.

The toxin was very mild, like the venom of a snake, but the dosage was not high. Dark creatures themselves had a low resistance to poison, as long as they didn't encounter targeted highly toxic substances, drinking this diluted trick would only cause a tingling sensation in the mouth.

But there was no doubt that the toxin existed.

Immediately, the green sprite was hung up.

Then a group of people used spoons to fish around inside, fishing out half a dead pig, two boots, and a green and smelly shoe pad. It seemed that the magical shoe pad was undoubtedly the culprit.

Now it seemed that this thing was indeed very magical. After being thrown into the soup, it actually absorbed a lot of toxins... Otherwise, most of the people here would have suffered.

But this did not prevent the angry passengers from hanging the green sprite who threw the shoe pad and the guy who lost the shoe pad until they were beaten to the point of being unable to breathe.

Then, after inspection, more than one person came to a conclusion.

The food was really poisoned.

And what was worse was that not only the food in the pot, but also the food and meat in the cold storage, and even the water on the ship, were poisoned... To prevent being discovered, the dosage was quite mild, but it couldn't stop the outbreak after accumulating over time.

If it weren't for that disgustingly smelly shoe pad, I'm afraid it would have been too late when it was discovered.

Although Huai Shi took a simple sample, without the alchemy equipment in his room, it was temporarily difficult to determine what type of toxin it was.

Just as he was about to go back to his room to analyze it and see if he could make some low-quality antidote based on Fan Haixin's memory, he suddenly heard a hysterical scream from the crowd.

"It's her!"

A hunchbacked man with festering sores all over his face jumped up and pointed at a figure in the crowd, "It's definitely that woman who poisoned us! During the day, my friend and I were almost killed by her poison!"

This voice was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Damn it!

This was the bastard who knocked him out!

When Huai Shi finally realized it, he suddenly had a bad feeling. When he followed his pointing finger, he saw a stunned Haila.

"It wasn't me."

Haila frowned and looked coldly at the hunchbacked man, who shrank back and then became even more fierce, "If it wasn't you, then who was it? Do you think the sores on my face grew by themselves?"

Someone's expression became vulgar, "Since everyone is here, why don't we search her to make everything clear!"

Haila looked indifferently at them, and the man's smile stiffened. He subconsciously took a few steps back, but soon became firm again, "Am I wrong? I saw you poison someone with my own eyes during the day! That person is still lying in the cabin unable to get out of bed!"

Under the clamor of those few people, the gazes of the people around were drawn to them. After listening to the vivid description of that guy, their eyes towards Haila became unfriendly.

Huai Shi tried to speak, but he heard Ai Qing's voice, "I suggest we wait and see."

"Just watch?"

"Can you guarantee for her?" Ai Qing retorted, "Can you be sure that she didn't do anything while you were unconscious? Also, since you've been unconscious for so long, why did she suddenly splash water on you to wake you up?"

Huai Shi was stunned and speechless.

"Everyone, calm down for now." Beside Haila, the dusty woman with a smile on her face spoke to mediate, "Believe me, there is a misunderstanding here."

"A misunderstanding my ass!"

As if afraid that things weren't big enough, the man with festering sores screamed, "She just wants to kill us! These two bitches might be in cahoots!"

The smile on the dusty woman's face stiffened for a moment as she looked at the man with festering sores. Her expression revealed a substantial fierceness and ferocity, and the chilling aura finally made him shut his mouth.

Finally, they understood that this was not a place for reasoning and evidence.

This was the vast sea far away from all civilization, an ocean liner with no place to dock, where the passengers were detectives and weak victims, and where the law of the jungle prevailed among dark creatures.

Poisoning?

Too ridiculous. Was there anyone on this ship who didn't know how to use poison?

Some people even released poisonous gas when they farted!

In the brief silence, the crowd that was about to boil stopped for a moment, being stared at by that sinister gaze. The chaos that was about to erupt seemed to have been stillborn.

Until someone in the crowd suddenly released a black shadow and struck towards Haila.I couldn't tell whether it was a gu worm, a curse, or some kind of evil spirit, but the source material parasite with strong negative energy flew towards Haila.

The dusty woman was finally completely enraged. Roaring, she raised her sharp claws, wanting to snap the guy's neck. But then a cry of astonishment came from the crowd.

Unbelievable.

In the instant that the parasite landed on Haila, there was a sound of shattering, and it was instantly burned into black smoke, dissipating in an instant.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

In a beam of light...

The beam of light was so faint, fleeting, but in the darkness, it was so conspicuous, like standing out from the crowd, causing a nearly overwhelming frenzy.

Beside her, the dusty woman was the first to bear the brunt when the light appeared. A scorch mark appeared on her hand, tearing through the layer of makeup on her skin, briefly revealing the wrinkled and loose skin underneath, as well as dark scars like age spots.

"A believer?"

Someone trembled and said, "She... she... she is a believer!"

Everyone in the restaurant stood up in astonishment. At first, they couldn't believe it, but then their eyes became fierce and ferocious. In the crowd, a disheveled woman stood up directly, pointing at Haila and chanting something in a sinister voice, as if casting a curse. But soon, the invisible curse was deflected.

By the halo rising above Haila's head.

The mark of the Holy Mark believer.

The first-order Holy Mark of the Holy Spirit lineage, and also the only first-order Holy Mark. Regardless of righteous people, angels, or even Lasarus, all Holy Marks in the Holy Spirit lineage extend from this foundation.

Unlike the convergence of countless paths in other lineages, it is based on one, extending to thousands, and finally returning to the void of 'one'.

The reason why the Holy Spirit lineage can become such a huge scale is not unrelated to this structure.

As long as one drinks the blessed holy water and receives baptism, the baptized person becomes a potential member of the believer - that is to say, as long as one drinks the holy water and receives the baptism of the priest, as long as they complete the sublimation and recite a few words of the "Scripture," they can become a "believer" on their own.

Simple, convenient, no side effects, fast and convenient, and almost no cost... even if only one out of ten sublimators chooses to become a believer, the Holy Spirit lineage will gain a loyal member.

Most of the parents of babies who are baptized at birth are devout believers. Under the influence of such a family atmosphere, few people make other choices. Moreover, the Holy Spirit lineage has a large family and great benefits. The application of the "believer" Holy Mark is also extensive. In terms of cost-effectiveness, there are hardly a few that can compare.

On this basis, the Holy Spirit lineage has grown rapidly in just a few hundred years to the terrifying scale it is today, and what supports this behemoth is countless grassroots believers.

Countless sublimators like Haila.

Even the name "Holy Mark" comes from the scars that appear on the sublimator's body after advancing.

If it were in other places, Haila would definitely be respected and welcomed. No matter where she goes, no one would make things difficult for her.

Except here.

Except on this ship where dark creatures gather...

Here, except for Huai Shi, everyone else is a dark creature of the Holy Spirit lineage, sinners pursued, suppressed, and hunted by the Inquisition.

There are even many sub-species and origins of vampires, and it is not exclusive to the Holy Spirit lineage. Moreover, even within the Holy Spirit lineage, this is a secret within a secret, and there are not many people who know about it. Even if it is accidentally exposed, Huai Shi can still stubbornly claim to be a Slavic lineage or a Haitian series of ogres.

But believers are different.

Unique to one family, it is simply the signature of the Holy Spirit lineage...

In an instant, even Huai Shi himself was stunned in place. He didn't expect that there would be an ally hidden on the ship. But then, he heard a clamor and roar like a tidal wave, and screams.

The entire restaurant boiled.

All the passengers were roaring, their faces ferocious as they surrounded Haila, revealing their cruel appearance. A substantial dark aura spread out, shaking the dim halo.

"Traitor!"

"Betrayal!"

"Kill her!" Someone shouted angrily, "Tear her to pieces!"

All the crimson pupils stared at Haila, but the girl just tightly pursed her lips, not saying a word. Her hand holding the small knife trembled slightly, swallowed up by the surging crowd.

A violent aura emerged from every passenger on board.

Everyone here has suffered from the pursuit and hunting of the Holy Spirit lineage, and everyone is a loser who couldn't survive in the old world. The more painful it is, the more they hate those who live in the sunlight.

When countless hatred and anger converge, the situation has completely spiraled out of control.

And the dusty woman, at the first moment, distanced herself from Haila and hid outside the crowd. Haila was forced to retreat step by step, already suppressed into a corner of the restaurant, surrounded by an angry mob.But just as the crowd was excitedly besieging and pressing forward, a hand suddenly reached out from behind, pulling aside the obstructing people, and roughly kicking the person blocking the way to the side.

Step by step, moving forward, then picking up a chair and smashing it fiercely onto the face of the person with the long scar, completely shattering their excited expression.

Finally, with a sudden punch, the obstructing table was smashed.

In the midst of the resounding noise, Huai Shi stood on the broken table and shouted.

"Hey! That's enough!"
