Oracle of Terra

"W, let's go."

"Tsk..."

Although she didn't want to listen to the Shining's orders, W also knew that it was not a wise choice to deal with a thick-skinned and thick-skinned monster here unarmed, so she also ran away, but how could this monster let them go easily? The claws tore through the floor, and it just ran straight into it, but W, as a mercenary with many battles, naturally wouldn't be afraid of this ferocious-looking beast. She pulled the transport stretcher on the side of the door, and the card mastered the pouncer. For the big monster that came over, it seemed that his claws didn't have the toughness to cut iron like mud.

After laughing so loudly, she also immediately turned around and started to run away.

Fortunately, the four of them did not encounter similar monsters along the way. They followed the flow of light and air in the dim room, and they came outside the house, but Sona's face darkened when she saw the scene outside the house.

"cemetery....."

"There is a cemetery outside the clinic, the feng shui here is really good."

W didn't taunt, but she also paid attention to the back of the team, but outside the sun shining, the monster was huddled at the door, staring straight at it with scarlet eyes, not chasing at all. plan.

"It's afraid of light?"

"not sure."

W doesn't think this kind of big monster is afraid of light.

"Let's go first and find some guys to solve this thing. You have also seen the little squirrel's boxing, and it has no effect at all."

"Ah ha ha....."

Sona felt a little helpless after being told by the coach. She was indeed a little more confident, but she really didn't expect that the werewolf monster's body was so strong.

After leaving the cemetery, W glanced at the house number outside.

"Usefka Clinic?"

The Victorian language on it says such a name.

"I'm afraid it's not a modified testing ground, is it?"

Reminiscent of Shining's previous analysis and the hallucinations he saw after drinking the bottle of blood, W's evaluation of this place is not very good, but before taking two steps, the four of them saw a man wearing a coat, holding a The torch, the guy who looked a lot bigger than his clothes was dangling on the road outside the clinic.

But the most dangerous thing is the blood-stained ax in this guy's hand.

"Ask for directions?"

"Stop joking, Instructor W, this man doesn't look like a good stubble."

"Lycanthropy, look at his face."

Shining paid close attention to observation, and after hearing what she said, Maria also noticed that this person's face was covered with thick hair and his nails were somewhat sharp.

She glanced at W thoughtfully, and the latter stared back angrily. Indeed, according to Shining's train of thought, she almost turned into the same face as the werewolf monster and the villager in front of her. , but she survived, so she didn't think there was any big problem.

However, the villagers quickly noticed the four of them, and then rushed over while waving the ax in their hands while howling.

"Come on, little squirrel, go punch, this one should be no stronger than the guy in the clinic."

"Ugh...."

It seems that this instructor doesn't intend to take the initiative to attack. Although she has no experience in unarmed combat, Sona feels that on the open street, the attack of this tall and burly villager will definitely not be able to reach her.

So she moved around, playing with the big man, and finally broke the guy's leg bone with the repeated blows of the whip leg.

Then he took the torch from his hand and lit the big man who looked shiny all over his body. When the guy was burning all over the ground, W casually picked up the blood-stained ax and tried to swing it. for a moment.

"It's lighter than I thought."

"Your strength has become stronger because of that bottle of blood."

"......"

Hearing what Shining said, W paused, does this mean that she has also started to turn into a beast?It's just not as obvious as the one in the clinic and the guy outside?

When she thought of how she was covered in hair, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Tsk."

Thinking of this, she returned to the clinic with the ax in hand. Although she could not kill the werewolf with bare hands, it was quite troublesome. After a while, the bloody W on the coat came back.

"Solved, let's check what is available in the clinic first."

Sona could only sigh at that bland expression, didn't it last a minute?

Is this the difference?

Of course, Sona ignored the power bonus from W after drinking the blood bottle. When they reached the door, the three of them saw the corpse of the werewolf whose neck had been cut off by W lying there. They started to explore the clinic. Apart from some medical equipment, the four of them didn't find anything useful. However, Maria found a closed door here, and there seemed to be someone inside.

But thinking of the 'reform base' that W said, she also cautiously called the three companions.

"There are still people."

W, who was covered in werewolf blood and sticky, didn't dislike it very much, anyway, she had experienced worse situations than this.

"Is anyone here?"

Maria tried to knock on the door, and after a while, a timid voice came from the door.

"I'm here, may I ask... what's the matter?"

The voice sounded familiar, but W was trembling, and W just frowned without thinking much, while Shining asked with a strange expression.

"Aye?"

Normally, this girl always had a very serious and energetic attitude, so Shining was a little uncertain, but soon, the voice from the inner door became a little confused.

"My, my name is Yusefka, may I ask if you have misunderstood the person?"

"Sorry, maybe I got the wrong person."

Only then did Shining remember that although the people in the dream used people they knew as NPCs, they should be completely different from the people they knew.

"What are you talking about so much, you made that werewolf outside?"

W obviously doesn't intend to chat with this guy who looks like an acquaintance.

"Everyone, knocked down that patient?"

"patient?"

Shining carefully considered the meaning of the word, and W was about to break through the door impatiently with an axe, but Shining stopped her.

"Yes, yes, if you are outsiders, you may not know that hunting nights are very dangerous here. Many people are infected with lycanthropy and go into a frenzy. Although hunters will deal with dangerous lycanthropy patients, after all Hunters themselves are also very rare, and blood therapy is becoming more and more difficult to treat the symptoms of patients..."

Yusefka's voice seemed a bit bitter, but to W, the familiar voice always sounded a bit of a play, I don't know if this is also an old-fashioned bad taste.

"So, you gave up on the patient and let him fend for himself outside like that?"

Sona's words obviously hit this doctor Yousefka a little bit, she sounded a little sobbing.

"Sona..."

"I don't mean that."

"It's okay, everyone, it's because of my lack of ability, but I must ensure the safety of more patients. If the lycanthropy is too serious, I can only do that. If you don't mind, I can provide some Trivial help, but please forgive me for not being able to open the door, and I cannot let strangers like you in here on a night like this."

"Understandable."

Shining got a bottle from the small window of the door, with the words 'special blood collection bottle' written on it, which gave W a bad memory.

"Dr. Yusefka, I want to know something about blood therapy, can you answer it for me?"

Shining continued to chat, while W turned his head and left impatiently. After Maria glanced at Sona, the latter sighed.

"I'll follow Instructor W, you follow Doctor Shining."

It's not that the troops are divided into two groups, but that Sona doesn't want W to go too far to some other places. After all, it's better for the four to act together.

The Shining also learned about this Victorian mobile city through Dr. Usefka, who had the voice and appearance of "Yaye".

This city is a mobile city with special beliefs—Yanan, which is not the same as the Lateran religion in that it believes in and worships the 'blood of the ancient gods', and the most powerful one is the Church of Healing, but not long ago A strange lycanthropy broke out here. After the mayor was hanged by violent citizens, the Healing Church blocked the lower city of Yanan, which is the urban area where the Usefka clinic is located, and the lycanthropy itself It didn't appear suddenly either, but the scope of the outbreak is very large. As for the ore disease, it seems that there is no need to worry about it in Yanan. They can use blood therapy to solve this disease. Easy to add settings.

The local law enforcers, or protectors, are 'hunters'.

In addition to the official hunters of the Healing Church, there are also non-governmental hunter organizations. These hunters have different factions and members, but Yusefka is not very clear about this. She only knows the hunter Gascoigne in the lower city. priest.

After all, the job of these hunters is to deal with lycanthropy patients at best, and to kill legally at worst. There are very few people who are willing to get along well with them, but because Yusefka often takes care of the frail daughters of the priest, so The relationship with the priest is not bad.

But Shining thinks that the 'Blood of the Ancient God' doesn't sound like a good thing, and what W said, combined with some words of Yousefka, she seems to understand the solution of this game .

438. A little messed up?

What is the point of such a game?

W was wandering around the clinic with an axe in hand. She didn't care much about building a good relationship with people. Recently, although she has been guiding step by step and becoming stronger through learning from each other, she still feels that there is something wrong in her heart. way to be satisfied.

"Your Highness Teresia..."

Whispering the name of the pillar of faith in her heart, W looked around the small clinic, but soon, she saw a bright lantern, emitting a dazzling light in the corner of the first room.

It is especially conspicuous in this dim environment.

Surrounding the lantern were the little monsters she had seen in hallucinations. She blinked her eyes to confirm the weight of the blood-stained ax in her hand, and then walked over, but it was unbelievable that those little monsters didn't move towards her. Instead, he pulled out a smile that could almost be described as horror and faced her.

But the Sarkaz female mercenary, who has seen strong winds and waves, will naturally not be intimidated by this smile that is uglier than crying. She approached the lantern. It stands to reason that according to the analysis of the Shining, most of the things she can see are hallucinations. But talking about hallucinations in the dream, she felt a little psychedelic, and when she touched the lantern surrounded by those little monsters, a thick fog enveloped her vision.

She was caught off guard and wanted to retreat, but when she came back to her senses, what she saw was a small manor, which looked so strange in the thick fog.

"Instructor W?"

Sona, who was wandering around the clinic looking for W, was dangling a little strangely. The dark and calm environment made her feel a little tingly, especially the corpse of a werewolf whose head had been severed lying there, exuding a strong smell. , but W is missing.

When she came to the cemetery outside the clinic, what she saw was still the shiny, almost burnt streets in the lower city of Yanan, and the charred corpses burned to death by them.

"Gone?"

Maria listened to Sona's report, and looked at Shining with some suspicion. After the black-robed Sarkaz doctor learned some information about the local area from Yousefka (Yaye), he went to He had his own ideas, but at this juncture, W suddenly disappeared.

"Are you sure there is no sign of her leaving the clinic?"

"No, there is no sign that the iron gate outside the cemetery has been opened."

In order to ensure safety, they deliberately closed the iron door when they returned to the clinic, but now it seems that it is far from as simple as they imagined.

"Maybe there are some secrets in the clinic that we haven't discovered, or in other words, secrets that only those who swallowed the blood can see."

Among the spells of Sarkaz, there are some weird spells that allow warlocks to glimpse some existences that they could not see before, and as a forgiver, Shining has also learned similar spells, although here she is not used as a medium She used her stick and sword to cast spells, but her natural spirituality also made her feel a sense of disobedience.

When she came to the first room, she opened the cabinet containing a large number of blood collection bottles, and fell into a brief silence as she looked at the sweet and bright red liquid left in the jars.

"Sister Shining, you don't want to drink, do you?"

To be honest, Maria is very resistant to the matter of drinking blood. After all, she is not a Sarkaz gorefiend, nor is she free from restrictions like W.

However, the black-robed doctor has no taboos at all. As Sarkaz, as a pardoner, it is not difficult for her to do things of this level.

She pulled out the stopper, and drank the blood in the blood collection bottle with a movement that didn't match her quiet appearance. Immediately afterwards, the same trance and dizziness as W attacked her.

It's just that she was prepared, but this time, compared to the beast-like symptoms W saw, Shining only experienced a brief dizziness, and in the dark eyes, a corner of the room suddenly appeared While being surprised by the flickering lantern, she also looked at her partner.

They turn a blind eye.

"Are you all right, Sister Shining?"

"I'm fine. It seems that I can adapt to the influence of this blood more easily than W."

After all, it came from the changes in the dream, and Shining thought that this should not be beyond His Majesty's control. After all, he asked them to come here to 'play', not to kill them.

"Can you see, is there a lantern there?"

"A lantern?"

"Yes, a lantern surrounded by some glowing little ones."

Sona and Maria shook their heads one after another, and looked at Shining with some worry, wondering if she was a hallucinogenic illusion like W.

"Well... I may have some emergencies next time, don't move around, wait for me here."

"it is good."

"no problem."

At least the clinic looked fine except for the somewhat suspicious Dr. Yusefka, and after getting close to the lantern, the moment Shining wanted to reach out and touch her, a gray mist enveloped her surroundings, while Sona Under Maria's surprised expression, the black-robed Sarkaz doctor made a half-squat movement, and his body turned into flickering light particles and disappeared into the gray mist.

"What the hell is this place?"

This small courtyard is like an isolated island on land. Looking out, W sees the world shrouded in mist, and the towering black pillars that make people feel scalp numb, like It was the same as the black tower they first saw in the forest.

He wanted to open the gate of the courtyard entrance, but found that whether he was hacking with a simple weapon in his hand, or trying to use some tricks to get out, the feedback he got was blocked by some invisible wall.
