The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 59 Ch.59 A force that is difficult to resist

On the day Roland was discharged from the hospital, Miss Kratofer came to pick him up.

This was also the first time Roland walked out of the ward in several days.

The structure of the interior area of ​​the ward is somewhat similar to a honeycomb, consisting of identical wards. In the narrow and dark passages, more lights lead to the deeper underground.

He is in the artifact accident area, which is the first floor.

The underground is a zone of curses and germs.

In addition, there are probably many classified partitions. Unlike the main building of the cathedral, almost all the people coming and going here are silent, serious and silent nuns in black robes.

When he came out of the ward, he realized that he seemed to have stepped into a huge 'egg'.

Golden, blood-vessel-like network veins spread all over the ground and walls. He could see the golden blood pumping in them. When it circulated in the 'pipe', he seemed to be able to hear the beating of his heart in his ears.

Densely packed blood vessels are tangled or crisscrossed with each other, and their seemingly disordered distribution wraps up every ward and every inch.

Then, extend upward, climb, and gather at the top.

It's like an oval egg with pointed ends and a wide middle.

The nuns seemed oblivious and walked past Roland on the brick floor paved with blood vessels.

Their steps were light and they made no sound when they landed. They suddenly appeared silently at the corner or behind a certain door, like white ghosts wrapped in black gauze.

Xander Kratof nodded to the nuns along the way and introduced them to Roland in a low voice.

She changed into a pair of black women's boots today. Again, the leather boots were still bright and dazzling.

Her boots are always so shiny.

It seems like I wear a new pair every day.

"...We step on the rites of the Immortal. No, although none of us can see it, everyone knows it. It protects the church and protects us."

Christopher Ryan.

Ten rings of immortality.

This was the first time Roland heard this name.

Seeing the girl looking over with bright eyes, he nodded slightly: "Ms. Enid told me about his deeds. This legendary church was built by him."

"That's right." Xander smiled with yearning on his face: "The Ritualist who has reached the end of the great road, how many people does its masterpiece protect?"

Roland glanced at the pious girl.

Fernandez.

Why to her...

"I also hope that one day I can become... no, as long as I have half the power of your Excellency, I can protect and save more people."

Xander's slightly drooped blue eyes shone with a strange color in the flickering lights. She turned to look at Roland: "Mr. Collins, why did you embark on the "Road to Greatness"? "

"I have no choice."

-

Can you change it to one that is less unpleasant to the scenery?

"It was a strange combination of circumstances."

-

Any more?

"none of your business."

Roland didn't have any hope for it, and replied softly: "I have been a believer of the Holy Cross Church since I was a child, Miss Kratofer. Lady Enid gave me the opportunity, and I seized it. I can be with the brothers and sisters of the church. It is my honor to work with you.”

"A lot of lies."

Xander looked happy, and the smile on his face became more friendly.

"You won't regret it!"

She said briskly, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the two books Roland had tucked under her arm, and was surprised:

"The Skinned Book and First Meeting with the Ghost were only allowed to read after I entered the ring."

"I know you have defeated the Ritualist, and you must have read "The Ritual of Understanding", which records the method of making holy water."

It happened that several nuns were passing by without looking sideways. Roland and Xander leaned slightly behind her, and she whispered: "There are also some special and precious books that record the knowledge of the "Great Road"..."

This vague statement actually wanted to tell Roland that maybe he could open the mysterious door through Fernandez or someone else by seeking books or code items.

Of course Roland wanted to thank this girl who couldn't speak clearly.

"We are colleagues from today on." Xander suppressed his smile, waved his hand timidly, and lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look at Roland.

The narrow path leading to the porch was long, thin, cold and damp.

Every time a heel hits the brick floor, the sound echoes far and wide.

After half a minute of silence, the girl suddenly spoke without any words: "...If you have any questions, and if Mr. Dewinson is not available..."

Roland smiled.

"Of course, we are colleagues. I just finished reading this book a few days ago." He tapped the book cover on the other side with his left hand. "Fernandez told me a case. The Wraith on the Farm Homicide."

Xander raised his head, his eyelashes trembling slightly: "Father and daughter?"

She also seemed to know about the case, mentioning the name exactly as Fernandez said.

"Of course." She imitated Roland's words briskly, revealing a few white teeth behind her thin lips: "At that time, there was an uproar. Two five-ring ritualists died in the church."

"It's really scary."

Roland sighed.

"Yes." Xander nodded: "I hope nothing like this will happen again. But when we face..., we seem so powerless..."

What to face?

Roland was confused.

"Didn't Mr. Devinson tell you?"

"Half of the story."

Roland looked confused: "I thought the reason those two heroes gave their lives was to protect the villagers from harm..."

"Villers? What does this have to do with villagers?"

Xian Del's expression was a little strange, and he spoke softly: "I think you know that the standard process for dealing with spirit bodies is "reappearance" and "key". Most murders are like this——"

"They linger in the waking world with a strong obsession with hatred, longing, attachment or other special emotions towards someone or a certain group..."

"They use unique 'rules' of their own characteristics to attack the living..."

"Most of them are like that."

"As long as it takes a certain amount of time to successfully "reappear" and find the key "key" behind the rules - Mr. Collins, in fact, the cause of death of the two ritualists was due to "forced attack." "

Xander's voice became a little erratic.

storm?

Xander looked sad: "There were many people who did bad things to that girl, and three of them were nobles. And the girl's father was just a widower with no feet. His ancestors were prominent and could not go out to the fields, and his wife's family was just a farmer. ”

"No one would publicly accuse and confront three nobles for her and a dozen townspeople."

"Besides..."

"Everyone's testimony was consistent."

"They said that she worked as a prostitute in the workhouse voluntarily. Her father was not a good person, and they both asked for trouble when they died."

Xander Kratof sighed: "Tell me, how can this be "reproduced"? Kill those three nobles? Are there other gentlemen involved... just for a grudge? "

"The flesh and blood body fights against the unpurified spirit body, and time is tight. To prevent it from turning evil, they have no time to find the "key" that symbolizes the rules..."

then.

The girl's voice echoed in the corridor, and clusters of flames swayed.

This is how it ends.
