Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

'How can you retreat when you reach the endgame? If you are sick, you will die. If the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to let you go. '

Making up her mind, Dorothy got off the carriage by herself, pulled up Edric who was leaning on the coachman's seat with the corpse puppet ring, and then they walked together to the bloody mansion not far away.

……

In Buck's study room, there were corpses all over the floor, blood everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere, and the flowing blood had completely infected the carpet.

"Hu...hu...hu..."

Propping his hands on the table, Buck, who had just finished the effect of the sigil, was panting continuously, while Clifford, who was struggling to stand up beside him, looked at his weak opening.

"Finally... resolved?"

"Not yet. That guy's ability is too weird. I haven't even met his body yet, so it's far from being solved." Looking around, Buck stood up straight and said.

"He...or maybe they are still ambushing us somewhere outside. It would be dangerous for us to go out directly now. We need to leave here immediately through the secret passage..."

While speaking, Buck came to his own fireplace, stretched out his hand to hold a candlestick, turned it left and right several times, and touched some mechanism in it.

Then, with the roaring sound of the mechanism, the bookshelf in the study room slowly opened, revealing the secret room inside, and a "cup" altar stood there in the center of the secret room.

"Get all the important things, and we'll be leaving in a minute!"

While speaking, Buck and Clifford entered the secret room together. During this process, Buck, who was about to get something, thought about it, and then entered the secret room and pulled a pull rope on the wall, and then the secret room was automatically and slowly closed until the entrance Close up completely.

Knowing that the threat was still there, Buck chose to close the passage into the secret room to stop the pursuers.

"Heh, you know how to close the door casually..."

Dorothy, who had just arrived on the first floor of Buck's mansion, couldn't help smiling slightly when she saw this scene, and then activated the corpse puppet ring, awakening the "eyes" he had left in Buck's study.

Under the action of the corpse puppet ring, Brandon slowly stood up from the corpses all over the floor.

Brandon was directly punctured and headshot by Buck just now, but this kind of damage can't stop the corpse puppet, but Dorothy still lifted Brandon's corpse puppet at the moment Brandon was pierced In Buck's eyes, he seemed to be killed.

One of the reasons for doing this is that Dorothy didn't want to expose the essence of her abilities, and gave the opponent a smoke bomb to make him think that her abilities were mind control or something.The second is that Dorothy made Brandon a backup in the next action. Buck thought that Brandon was dead so he would not be too vigilant. Maybe it could have some unexpected uses, for example, when the angle is good, he suddenly Backstab violently.

However, the opportunity to backstab did not come, which played another role.

While thinking, Dorothy and the corpse puppet Edrick came to the third floor. Dorothy found a place to hide it by herself, and then asked Edrick to stand in the corridor and point a gun at the bookshelf in the study.

Then, Dorothy began to control Brandon to turn the candlestick above the fireplace left and right. The direction and rhythm of the rotation were exactly the same as Buck's before.

Brandon, who was "playing dead", watched the whole process of Buck turning the candlestick before, and Dorothy memorized it with the memory of a proficient person.

Accompanied by the correct input of the password, the sound of the mechanism's Weng Ming sounded again in the study, and the bookshelf, which was the door of the secret room, slowly opened.

Chapter 84 Smashing

In the chamber of secrets, Buck and Clifford were searching for important items in the chamber of secrets. At this moment, the door of the chamber of secrets that had been closed suddenly roared again. Buck and Clifford looked at the entrance of the chamber of secrets in astonishment. Seeing the door of the secret room slowly open amidst the sound of the mechanism.

'Who opened the door? ! '

This was the common thought of Buck and Clifford at the moment. They looked towards the opened door together, and what they saw was at the end of the corridor outside the study, a male figure in a windbreaker and hat standing standing with a gun.

"Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!"

The moment the door of the secret room opened, Edric, who was standing in the corridor, pulled the trigger and fired continuously at the two people in the secret room, walking forward while firing until he reached the door of the study.

Bullets poured into the secret room. Buck, who was in good health, dodged all the bullets, while Clifford, who was wounded all over, was shot again, and fell to the ground crying, unable to stand up.

'hateful!Have you all caught up?How did he know the combination to open the door? '

Gritting his teeth, Buck thought in his heart, but he didn't stop the movement of his hands. After Edric shot the bullet, he also pulled out a dagger from the wall of the secret room, taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's magazine was empty. Throwing it out, Edric, who was standing at the door of the study, dodged the dagger, but also sold a big flaw.

'Chance! '

Grasping the opening, Buck rushed into the study with a sword in his hand, rushed to Edric's body at top speed, pierced his chest with a sword, Edric's expression froze, and then fell to the ground losing his vitality .

"call……"

Seeing the enemy kill, Buck breathed a sigh of relief, but his guard still did not relax, and at this moment, a crisp sound reached his ears.

"Crack..."

Buck immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and there was the collection room next to his study!

At this time, the door of the collection room was open to him, and it was full of rows of glass cabinets and porcelain vases. There was no electric light, so it was pitch black, with only sporadic reflections emerging in the darkness.

The sound just now came from here, so Buck was sure that there must be someone inside, and before he could make another move, another sound came out of it.

And this time, the sound was loud and trembling...

"—Fus—"

A huge sound exploded in my ears, and the bottles and glass in the room were shattered by the sound, and then rushed out of the door of the collection room and rushed to Buck who was standing at the door of the study, engulfed by the violent impact of the sound waves. Buck was thrown into the air, and fell heavily on one side of the wall. The shock wave that swept through the study shattered all the windows, knocked down the furniture, and threw all the books into the air. Immediately, the whole room was like snowflakes. And the scattered pages of the book fell.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

After the impact, there was a scream of pain from the wall of the study. At this moment, Buck was leaning there, with broken and sharp glass and tiles stuck all over his body, and all kinds of fragments were densely inserted into his body. Blood dripped from his body, turning him into a blood man, crying out in pain.

'Bingo, success~'

Squatting in the corner of the dark storage room, witnessing Buck's tragic situation, Dorothy thought in her heart that using this storage room to cooperate with the tactics of dragon roar was what she thought of from the very beginning.

The biggest flaw of Dorothy's inexhaustible dragon roar is that its direct damage ability is not strong. If you don't directly use the third stage of qualitative change, it is just a range of knockback, which can blow people away for several meters. If you fall down, ordinary people will be directly thrown into a daze, but for the hungry and thirsty, the effect will not be so obvious, just get up after patting your butt.

However, if a little material is added to the impact, the effect will be different. Dorothy hides in the collection room and uses the dragon roar to turn the broken glass and ceramics into sharp arrows, just like an oversized spray gun. The child sprays the whole body of the person in general.

"Being hit like this, even the hungry and thirsty will be incapacitated..."

Dorothy thought of this when she saw Buck lying on the wall and howling in pain.

'It's time to make up the knife...'

Just as Dorothy was about to manipulate Edric to rise again, the scene suddenly changed again. From outside the window, a dark shadow flashed in, fell to the ground and stood up slowly. It was a man with blond hair and a face. A gentle young man, he is standing in the study at the moment, silently looking around.

'Fuck, who is this? '

Seeing the sudden appearance of the young man, Dorothy was startled, and stopped thinking of waking Edric, and continued to hide in the corner of the collection room, observing the situation in the study with the vision of a corpse puppet.

"Bi, Bill!? Why are you here?" Seeing the young man suddenly appearing in the study, Buck, who was in despair and pain, couldn't help shouting in surprise, while the young man named Bill silently glanced at Buck, and then Said.

"I heard gunshots from your side, so I asked the instructor for instructions, and the instructor asked me to take you there."

"Mentor? The instructor asked you to save me!? That's great! But you have to be careful! Over there! There are enemies over there! It's not the Anyin Bureau, a very strong enemy! You have to be..."

Buck pointed to the dark collection room and said, but in the end he couldn't speak because of the pain, and Bill followed Buck's guidance to look into the darkness in the collection room.

'It's not good... Another hungry and thirsty man who is in good condition?Corpse puppets and spirituality are not enough anymore...'

Seeing Bill's gaze, Dorothy was a little nervous for a moment. Just as she was preparing to continue fighting, Bill slowly spoke to Buck again.

"My task is just to take you to the mentor."

While talking, Bill pulled off a few pieces of glass from Buck's body and put it on his shoulders, then his eyes swept to the side of Clifford who was lying on the ground immobile, and he was stretching out his hand and shouting towards this side.

"Bill...and me! And me..."

Looking at Clifford, Bill paused for a moment, then he picked up Buck's staff and sword, and slowly came to Clifford.

"I'm sorry Clifford, the two of you spoke too slowly."

As he spoke, Bill inserted the sword directly into Clifford's body, and after his expression froze, the ruby ​​at the top of the sword gave off a crimson glow.

"Ah! You... what are you going to do, Bill!! Ahhh..."

Clifford, who was pierced through his body, let out a scream of extreme pain, and then Clifford, with a distorted expression, began to dry out at a speed visible to the naked eye. He changed from a normal person to a skinny skinned skeleton in an instant, and then from skinny to a mummy. .

In the end, Clifford's voice gradually disappeared, and the panic on his mummified face became even more terrifying. Bill pulled out the sword from the dead Clifford, and the dull ruby ​​at the top of the sword became crystal clear and red. Surrounded by awns.

'Is this... the 'cup' has been drawn away?Are they fighting among themselves? '

Seeing this scene, Dorothy thought in astonishment that Buck on his shoulder also opened his mouth in surprise when facing Bill's actions.

"Bill...you..."

"It's nothing, it's just better to take it home..." Facing Buck's astonishment, Bill looked at the crystal ruby ​​on the top of the staff and said.

Then Bill jumped out of the window with Buck on his shoulders and a sword in his hand.

After a while, Edric the Corpse Puppet stood up slowly. After he checked the window and surroundings, Dorothy slowly walked out of the shadow in the collection room, facing the mess in front of him.

And on a piece of clothes that was crushed by Clifford who fell on the ground and turned into a mummified corpse, an extremely faint light flickered inadvertently.

This twilight faintly showed the imprint of the "lamp".

……

On the other side, on a quiet river bank of the Iron Mud River, several spacious two-horse carriages were parked here. Between the carriages, members of the hunter team in uniform gathered together. Among them, It was Elena who took off the mask.

At this time, Elena was holding a compass whose pointer was constantly spinning around. Elena stared at the pointer of the compass with a focused expression, making its rotation more and more slow down, and finally pointed to a certain direction.

Elena looked in the direction she was pointing at, and it was the north bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Tie Ni River, Baihe Riverside.

Chapter 85 Lockdown

In the upper city of Igwent, on the north bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Iron Ni River.

In the afternoon, the sun in the sky was blocked by gloomy clouds, and the city under the sky appeared in a cloud of gray and dullness.

In Buck's mansion, the smell of blood spread everywhere, and in the place where the smell of blood was the heaviest, that is, in Buck's study, where corpses were scattered all over the mess, Dorothy was silently scanning the surrounding environment, and finally turned her eyes Stay on top of the window Bill climbed out of.

"Mentor...?"

Dorothy murmured this address. The young man named Bill just now said that he was ordered by his mentor to take Buck and Clifford away. As for Clifford, who could no longer leave, he directly took away all the "cups" and then abandoned it. .

"Mentor... just by this name, it seems that he is the teacher of Bill, Buck and others. If this is the case, it proves that the leaders of the Scarlet Sacrament Society are not just at the level of Buck and the others. Above Buck and the others, there may be so-called Mentor...he may be the real master of the Communion. '

Dorothy thought like this, but then various other doubts arose from her heart, who is this mentor?I had a deadly fight with the Holy Communion before, but now I have beaten the Holy Communion like this, why didn't he show up, no sign of him at all?What does it mean to suddenly send someone to rescue now?They also directly draw people into "cups" and take them back. Is this to save the "cups" or to save people?

All kinds of thoughts flooded into Dorothy's mind. After thinking about it for a while, she shook her head and didn't think about it deeply, because she knew it was not the time to think about it.

The most urgent task now is to run away as soon as possible after picking up the things.

Then, Dorothy walked straight into the secret room, and began to see if there were any good things. Relying on the spiritual vision provided by the appraisal technique, she can now easily identify spiritual storage items, extraordinary items, and secret transmissions. So it's pretty easy to find things.

Dorothy took the previous suitcase containing the lime mechanism, shook out all the contents, and then started to pack things with this empty suitcase, since most of the things had already been searched by Buck and put them on him. So there is not much left for Dorothy. After looking around, there are only a few sigils and a little spiritual storage, some ritual materials, and two secret books, one of which is the one I read before. The previous novel "The Taste of Red".

Although there were only a few things with Extraordinary components, there were all kinds of mundane belongings in the secret room. Dorothy found a few pieces of jewelry that looked like precious metals, as well as cash.

Dorothy continued to scramble in Buck's secret room, trying her best to search for hidden treasures. Just as she was packing all her things into her suitcase and was about to call it a day and run away, a sudden noise came from the street. There was a dense sound of hooves.

'what happened? '

Hearing this voice, Dorothy was puzzled for a while. She activated the puppet ring to link to the crow puppet on standby on the roof, and controlled the crow puppet to spread its wings to fly into the sky to observe the situation below. Several large black two-horse carriages were driving on the street at this moment, and they stopped at the gate of the front yard of Buck's house, and then a group of men armed with guns, wearing uniform black uniforms and masks got off from them, and started Flooded into Buck's yard.

'Fuck!Hunter?How did they find it here so quickly? '

Relying on the high-altitude vision, Dorothy couldn't help but feel a burst of consternation when she saw the people in black pouring in. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible for the hunters to find the Buck's house so quickly?Shouldn't they come after the police notified them?How can it be so fast?Aren't they all still flooding the docks before?

"When Buck and the others escaped, they were caught by the Anyin Bureau and followed them all the way?The tracker reported the large army of hunters and let them come?No... how did the hunters catch up with the hungry and thirsty? They just escaped from the battlefield and they didn't have any intention of retracing, right?You should know how to go around a few times to shake off the tail.Or Buck and the others were installed with a locator or something when they left, and the hunters chased them all the way here? '

Various possibilities flashed through Dorothy's mind at a high speed, but at this moment, the hunters had poured into the yard of Buck's house one after another, and spread out to occupy various positions, setting up the entrances and exits , Some hunters entered the surrounding buildings, and began to stick out their gun barrels from the windows on the second and third floors to aim at the windows of Buck's mansion. In less than a minute, the entire Buck's mansion was completely captured by the hunters. blockade.

'Oh hoo...it's over...'

Seeing this scene, Dorothy leaned directly against the wall, her face ashen.

……

After dealing with the remnants of the Holy Communion on the flooded pier, the hunter team tracked all the way along the river to the Baiyinhe River since the flood. The hunters in black quickly sealed off Buck's mansion.

Stepping down from the carriage, Greg, wearing a mask, stepped into Buck's yard, and couldn't help but sneered after glancing at the mansion in front of him.

"Baihe Riverside... such a big apartment, grand and grand... I didn't expect the leader of the sacrament party to be so prestigious. I'm afraid the three of our houses in Igwent combined are not as big as this. "

With a mocking tone, Greg said bluntly, while Elena who was holding a compass at the side continued to speak.

"The upper echelons of many heresies and pagan associations have a high status in society. The wealth they hold is what these associations covet, so those associations try to corrupt and win over these people. After all, they conduct mysterious research The money that needs to be spent is a bottomless pit, and these so-called noble people will also want to pursue novel things while living in luxury, hum."

There was disgust in Elena's tone, and then she continued to speak after thinking about it.

"However, judging from the current performance of the Holy Communion, they are still relatively pure evil sects, and the elements of heresy or heresy are not strong. Send them over."

After Elena finished speaking, the tall and tall Turner on the other side sniffed his nose, and then turned his gaze to the third floor where the glass was severely damaged.

"The smell of blood is very strong in this house, especially on the top. There may have been fierce bloody battles, and many people died." Turner said slowly, and Greg couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard his words.

"There was a bloody battle? Do you mean that after the two guys fled back here, they fought with someone else?"

"It's not very clear yet. In short, I think the current situation inside is not right. Be careful when you go in." Turner said with an obvious warning tone. Listening to Turner's words, Greg and Elena calmed down. Slowly nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Greg drew out his own sword, Elena replaced the pistol, and Turner clenched his iron fist. The three of them led a team of hunters into the huge mansion with full attention and vigilance.
